On the third day of the 10th month of the second year of Yifeng, the emperor issued an edict to restore Persia's country to 20,000 Hexi troops were sent, with the deputy governor of Hexi, Lin Chengbin, and Xiao Sanlang, deputy, ordered the crown prince Li Xian to take charge of the expedition. On the fifth day of the 10th month, the emperor issued an edict. Returning to the capital, the prince and his ministers followed him, leaving Luo Binwang, the prefect of Luoyang, as the Eastern Capital. On October 28, the emperor entered the Daming Palace, and then followed him, leaving the prince alone in the imperial city. As a result, the politics were divided into two parts. , From the Eastern Palace to be the edict, from the Ming Palace to be the edict, although the pronunciations are similar, the meaning is very different. Fortunately, both sides seem to maintain a certain degree of restraint, and there are very few cross-order orders. Generally speaking, Li Xian The focus is on the agriculture and forestry affairs of each state, while the Empress Wu focused on the finance, taxation and punishments of each state. They maintained a tacit confrontation pattern between them. The emperor felt at ease and no longer paid attention to the court, but only focused on the The dragon body that is sick and weak will be nourished in the Daming Palace.
Under the political situation where the two strong confrontations, peace has never been the main theme, the battle party is the core of the foundation, and the court has just calmed down. The first month of the third year of Yifeng passed, and the Censor Li Shi wrote a book to the Secretariat. Li Jingxuan was ordered to participate, and the charge was that he was a racist and was rampant in the village. Later, he heard that he was angry and summoned Li Jingxuan to the Daming Palace to question him. Li Jingxuan could not speak, but later he was angry and demoted him to the governor of Yuzhou. The officials arrested him for being evil. The sons, the post of the Central Secretariat was shortened, and the Houyin ordered Jia Chaoyin and others to submit the book to Wu Chengsi, the Minister of Justice. When the news came out, Li Xian was furious and urgently recruited Zhang Jianzhi and Di Renjie, two confidant officials, entered the Eastern Palace. Discuss countermeasures.
"After all of them, what should this matter be like?"
Li Xian was very annoyed, not just ordinary annoyed. In his opinion, Wu Chengsi was just a pig or a dog, and he actually wanted to join the Secretariat. This was simply a big joke, let alone Ren Secretariat Ling Even the Minister of Justice, whom he is now accompanies nepotism, and he is vegetarian at all. Apart from flattery, he has no ability to flatter. If he really wants to be a slaughter, he will be a slaughter. Fu, it is really a big deal of the world. Of course, this is not the main reason. The deeper reason is that the situation in the current Zhengshi Hall is extremely subtle, and Li Xian really dare not take it lightly.
Among the seven prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall, King Li Zhen of Yue was not to mention that he was definitely a hero. It was definitely not Li Xian who could make the move. It was impossible to expect him to seize the handle again, and Jia Chaoyin was the Queen of Wu. The party's hardcore backbone, including Xue Yuanchao who is gradually turning to the side of Wuhou, Pei Xingjian, Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun and Pei Yan, all have a good relationship with Li Xian, but the problem is that none of these four people are Li Xian's. The direct confidant was not something that Li Xian could easily point. If Wu Chengsi really got into the throne, the consequences would be a little more unbearable. If the orders from Li Xian were to be passed smoothly, it would be impossible. Therefore, no matter from any aspect, Li Xian would never agree to let Wu Chengsi enter the Political Affairs Hall to serve, let alone let him take charge of the position of Zhongshu Ling who was drafted.
"Your Highness, don't worry, in my opinion, this matter is not yet finalized. In addition to our efforts, the key is still on the two of you. One is the intention of Your Majesty. As for the second, it is on the other hand, it is on the other hand. Hao Xiang's attitude, if Hao Shizhong could return the imperial edict, there would be great things to do."
Although the situation was very serious, Zhang Jianzhi was not impatient. He stroked the long beard on his chest with his hands, and slowly analyzed it, pointing out the key to the response.
"Myong General Meng (Zhang Jianzhi's name) said very much. The key is that Shizhong Hao is willing to come forward to submit his imperial edict. Otherwise, things may be difficult."
Di Renjie also saw the key point of the matter, but he did not rush to reply, but waited for Zhang Jianzhi to finish speaking, and then he focused on saying.
"Well, I also think so, but Hao Xiangsu is honest and can't deal with him easily. Although I will try it, I am not sure. As for the father's side, I want to do it now.
It is difficult to see him once. Before the last moment, I don’t want to make this happen for the time being. Now, I think it should be up to my own efforts. Well, after that, I plan to introduce Di Gongwei.
I wonder if Di Gong dares to do the candidates, and he will fight with him?"
Li Xian is good at planning, and he can naturally do what Di and Zhang can think of, but Li Xian has a different view on this and does not think that if he does this, he can ensure that there is no danger. This is a different way.
He put forward his own opinions.
"Well, this makes me really good at Brother Huaiying's qualifications and ability is not bad. It's okay to be the prime minister. Even if it's not good, it can muddle the water. It's not sure that the other end of the Daming Palace can occupy it.
Cheap!"
Li Xian's move clearly was to fight with Empress Wu, and there were risks, but in Zhang Jianzhi's view, it was not much greater. So he stroked the long beard on his chest and took the lead in expressing his words.
"Thank you for your love. If you have selfish intentions, I am willing to obey your orders. However, it is not time for me to enter the government affairs hall. I have to do it myself, and I am afraid that I will be vicious. However, I have one
The candidate may suppress the ambitions of the Daming Palace.”
The position of prime minister is the highest position that court officials can rise to. No one who is a minister does not want to climb up, Di Renjie is no exception, but he is not stunned by the huge pie that has fallen from the sky.
He explained it sincerely and tactfully and resolutely rejected Li Xian's proposal.
"Oh? Who would anyone recommend Di Gong? Let's talk about it and listen to me."
Li Xian was sure that Li Xian was able to carry Di Renjie to compete for the position of Zhongshu Ling. Although it was not too high, if it was operated properly, there was still a certain hope. If Di Renjie really could take over the Zhongshu Ling,
It is unnecessary to say that he was of great help to Li Xian. However, since Di Renjie was unwilling, Li Xian himself was not willing to force it, so he frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Your Highness, how about this person?"
Di Renjie did not give out the name of the person he recommended, but dipped it in the tea bowl in front of him, stretched his hand straight, and wrote his personal name in front of Li Xian.
"Good plan! This strategy works!"
Zhang Jianzhi deserves to be a wise man. He just glanced at the name of the person and immediately guessed the meaning behind Di Renjie's proposal. Before Li Xian could make a statement, he was already applauding.
"Well, it's okay, even if you're cheap, that guy will do it now. I'll bother you all the rest."
As the saying goes, there is no need to be a heavy hammer for the drum. Although Di and Zhang have never expressed their overall plan, Li Xian has completely understood it, but he did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he has carefully treated various solutions in his heart.
After carefully comparing, he nodded reluctantly, threw down his explanation, and immediately got up and set out to leave the palace by himself...
Although Empress Wu's pursuit of the position of Zhongshu Ling has not yet been carried out on the surface, most of the well-informed people already know that it is related to the sudden change in the court structure. Not only the East Palace, but King Li Zhen of Yue also has a headache about this.
It's absolutely nothing, just because if Wu Chengsi really entered the Political Affairs Hall again, Empress Wu would have three votes on the other end. Li Zhen's importance would undoubtedly be completely weakened, at least it would be impossible to be like him again.
In the past, he faced the battle between Empress Wu and Li Xian with a detached attitude, which was obviously not the situation that Li Zhenlei thought of. Therefore, when he received the news, he didn't even care about the mission of the rotating Political Affairs Hall and asked for a sick leave.
He hurried back to his palace and hurriedly called Chen Wushuang and Pei Shoude, two confidants, and hurriedly agreed.
"…, the news is like this. After all, how should I deal with this matter? "
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Zhen is always as stable as Mount Tai, but in front of Chen and Pei, he was too lazy to disguise himself. After repeating the news he received with a gloomy face, he asked with a gloomy face.
A word said.
"The prince clearly understands. The son-in-law thinks that Wu Chengsi's morality and qualifications are not the best choice for the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. There must be a rebound on the other end of the Eastern Palace. We secretly contributed to the fire and told the matter to be ruined.
Not impossible.”
When Chen and Pei heard the news, they were all secretly shocked. After looking at each other, Pei Shoude spoke first.
"It would be great if it was so simple. I have never thought about this plan, but it would be difficult to achieve it. Now the man in the Daming Palace has the power to be in power and to hold the emperor to command the princes. He has many flags and shouts under his command
If you really want to force yourself, you may not have great achievements on the other end of the East Palace. This is inappropriate!”
Pei Shoude's strategy can only be said to be in a proper way, but there is nothing surprising about it. Li Zhen had already planned this and naturally did not think it would work.
"The prince is very concerned. The key to this matter is not how to use force in the East Palace, but how your Majesty is willing. According to Chen, the balance of the court is now a situation that Your Majesty likes to see and will not change easily.
Therefore, Your Majesty's original intention is that he will never see Wu Chengsi ascend to the throne, but now that the internal and external news is isolated. Once the road is completed, Your Majesty will not recognize it, and this is the victory that the Empress planned.
The Tao is the key to breaking it. If you want to break it, you must start from two aspects. One is to prevent the passage of this imperial edict in the political affairs hall. This section is the key. If you can get the help, you can do half of it. As for the other
Half of that, it depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince can pass the news to His Majesty in time. If the Crown Prince is sincere, it is not impossible for the prince to cooperate with him."
Chen Wushuang's wisdom was obviously above Pei Shoude. This opening analyzed the whole matter thoroughly and made a more clear proposal to join forces with the Eastern Palace to resist.
"Sincerity? Well, sir means..."
As long as he can maintain his transcendent status, Li Zhen naturally doesn't mind joining hands with Li Xian again. This is one of the strategies he has considered on the road before, just for the "sincerity" that Chen Wushuang said.
Time was still a little confused, and in a daze, he couldn't help but ask.
"This matter..."
Chen Wushuang dared to say this, and had already made a decision. Just when he was about to explain, he saw the head of the royal palace sticking out his head from the screen and immediately stopped.
"What's the matter?"
Li Zhen was waiting for Chen Wushuang to resolve the problem. When he saw the headmaster of the royal palace suddenly broke in, his face immediately became unpleasant. Without waiting for him to speak, he shouted impatiently.
"Report to the prince, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived outside the mansion, please let the prince make a clear statement."
When he saw that Li Zhen’s expression was wrong, the head of the royal family did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly reported it.
"Um?"
Li Zhen never expected that Li Xian would come from his house at such sensitive moments. He was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't react for a while, his eyes were full of suspicion...
