Empress Wu's words may sound plain, but they are not simple inside. They have two meanings. One is that Gar Yinggong has a keen sense of politics. This is a compliment. As for the other meaning,
That means that Gar? The archer's hand is stretched too far. This is not a compliment. It has a vague meaning of beating. If you change it to someone with a dull mind, you will definitely not be able to hear what it means.
, but Gar Ying Gong is not that kind of person, so he naturally understands what he heard. With this understanding, he can't help but make some assumptions.
"Replying to your Majesty, I think this is a good thing."
Although Gar Yingong heard the meaning, he never dared to reveal it. He could only be secretly vigilant. However, he did not dare not to answer what should be answered, so he bowed respectfully.
He quickly replied.
"Oh? A good thing? What's so good about it, how come I don't know about it?"
Upon hearing Gar Yin Gong's answer, Empress Wu revealed an ambiguous smile on her lips, but she did not express what she was thinking, but continued to ask with a smile.
"My dearest lady, there is a common saying: the higher you climb, the more miserable you will be if you fall down. If someone wants to climb a dangerous building, why not lend a helping hand? It would also be a good joke."
Gar was very good at using a bow to observe colors. He could tell at a glance that Empress Wu had already made a decision in her mind, so he followed Empress Wu's words and replied with a smile.
"Dangerous building? Aiqing is so brave. Aren't you afraid that some people won't come down after going up?"
Empress Wu was also a wise person, and she immediately understood the meaning of the metaphor of Gar's bow. This was exactly what she had in mind. However, Empress Wu had other worries in her heart, and did not dare to make a hasty decision.
So Zhao Gar came here with his bow, just to hear what clever tricks he had, so he discussed the matter and pointed out the hidden worry.
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!"
Empress Wu asked this very tricky question, but Gar Ying Gong didn't panic and responded with four words one by one.
"What I say is true, my dear, but even though it is true, the Sacred Heart is also prone to change. How can we ensure that we are safe?"
Empress Wu knew Gaozong's temperament very well, so she naturally knew Gaozong's soft temperament and soft ears. Once things got serious, there were two possibilities. One was to be suspicious and fearful, and severely punish Li Xian.
Press down and gradually take back the power in Li Xian's hands, but there is another possibility, which is to succumb to the pressure of the ministers and be forced to let Li Xian supervise the country. Although the former is more likely, the latter possibility
However, one has to guard against sex, and it was this latter aspect that Empress Wu was worried about.
"Your Majesty is very worried. If we want to win steadily through this change, we must finally get some help, and the King of Yue may be able to do it."
If Gar Ying Gong wants to avenge Li Xian, he must hug Empress Wu's thigh with all his strength. Only then can he have a chance. If Empress Wu falls, he will have no chance of being spared. This is the case for Gar Ying Gong.
He knew very well, so even if he performed too well, he might arouse Empress Wu's suspicion, but in order to avenge his father, Gar Ying Gong didn't care so much. After all, even if Empress Wu wanted to liquidate him,
That was also what happened after Li Xian had finished playing. By then, the great revenge had been avenged, and Gar?'s bow would be drawn without any regrets. It was precisely because of this consideration that Gar?'s bow was drawn without any hesitation.
Then he expressed what he was thinking about.
"Eighth uncle? Hey, this is a man who has no profit and cannot afford to be young. I have nothing more to offer him, but I don't know what Aiqing plans to do about it?"
Empress Wu was also very wary of Li Zhen. Although she cooperated a lot with her and jointly gave Li Xian some advice, Li Zhen always had to get enough good prescriptions before she would take action. Now, Li Zhen
Zhen's power had reached the limit of Empress Wu's endurance, and she did not want to sit back and watch Li Zhen become powerful again.
"If you tell me back to your Majesty, both parties will benefit from this matter if they are combined, and both parties will lose if they separate it. I believe that the King of Yue will fully cooperate with your Majesty."
Gar Yin Gong could certainly hear Empress Wu's deep dissatisfaction and wariness towards Li Zhen, but he did not point out the matter, but gave a straight answer.
"How can I see it?"
Empress Wu was fed up with Li Zhen's greed, so she didn't think that he was willing to help her unconditionally. Even if Gar Yingong said it for sure, Empress Wu didn't believe it.
"Because he is ambitious!"
Gar? Yingong's face twitched a few times, and a sentence came out from between his teeth.
"Ambition? Well, ambition! Since my beloved dares to say this, how dare you go out and do something for me?"
Empress Wu naturally knew that Li Zhen was very ambitious. Even though she had always behaved very humbly in court and rarely expressed opinions on political affairs, in Empress Wu's eyes, such superficial tricks were nothing more than childish tricks. The reason why she still tolerated them in every possible way was
It was simply because of Li Xian's strength that Empress Wu never mentioned such a secret to anyone, not even the dead Ming Chongyan. At this moment, Gar? pointed out that Empress Wu's secret was revealed.
There was a slight uproar in her heart. Although she was satisfied with Gal Yinggong's keen political sense, she also had a little suspicion. However, when it came to hiring people, Empress Wu would not bring her thoughts to her face.
He pondered and spoke in consultation.
"I am willing to do my best for my queen!"
Gar Yin Gong had deliberately made friends with Ming Chongyan earlier, and he knew that Ming Chongyan was Empress Wu's role responsible for external liaison. After Ming Chongyan's death, this role was already vacant, and now Empress Wu will act like this
The burden has been handed down, which only means one thing - Gar Yin Gong has officially intervened in the core of the Empress Wu Group, and this is exactly what Gar Yin Gong has always expected.
The principle of promise.
"Well, that's fine. If you love me, please go."
Seeing that Gar Yingong was so knowledgeable about things, Empress Wu was naturally quite satisfied. Now that the matter was over, she stopped talking nonsense and waved her hand in a gentle tone.
"No, Wei Chen resigns!"
It is not an easy task to deal with the King of Yue. It is the first time for Gar Ying Gong to take on this important task, so he must make many preparations. Seeing that Empress Wu spoke, she did not delay any more and hurried on.
Then he said goodbye and left.
"Someone is coming!"
After Gal drew his bow, Empress Wu did not stand up, nor did she continue to correct the memorial. Instead, she sat there for a long time with a gloomy face, and then raised her voice and shouted.
"The old slave is here!"
Hearing the noise, Cheng Denggao, who had been waiting outside the study for a long time, did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly rushed into the study, rushed forward quickly, and answered with great respect.
"Go and send these notes back to the Political Affairs Hall. Just say that this matter is known to me and we will report it to the Political Affairs Hall after they come up with a charter!"
Empress Wu had a dull expression on her face, pointed to the thick stack of "Encouraging Entry" notes in the corner of the manuscript, and gave an order in a calm tone.
"No, I'll do it now, old slave."
Upon hearing Empress Wu's explanation, Cheng Denggao couldn't help but be stunned. His heart was full of questions, but he didn't dare to speak randomly. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and hurriedly answered, walking with small steps.
He stepped forward, held the pile of memorials in both hands, and hurriedly exited the study, going to the political hall to hand over the matter.
"Xiang Hao, Prime Minister Gao, the two elders have invited me."
Today is not the morning of the morning, nor is it a day for discussions in the political hall. There are only two people in the political hall, Hao Chujun and Gao Zhizhou, who are on duty. It is almost noon. They have been busy all day long. They are both a little tired and are planning to take a rest.
As I walked up, I saw Cheng Deng leading the young eunuch in a hurry and holding a large chorus book in his hands. As soon as he arrived at the foyer, the greetings started to ring out.
"Hey, here comes another bargain. Haha, it looks like I can't take a break this time."
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, all chapters submitted by ministers were first submitted to the Zhengshitang. After the Zhengshitang drafted the terms of the report (preliminary processing opinions), they were handed over to the internal ban for personal review and approval by the emperor, and then returned to the Zhengshitang.
If the proposal is passed, the political affairs hall will assign each department to have a bureau to handle it. Cheng Denggao, as the ceremonial eunuch, is responsible for this matter of internal and external exchanges. He is already familiar with the ministers and ministers, and they have a good relationship with each other.
It was normal to joke around, but seeing Cheng Denggao making so many twists and turns, Hao Chujun, who had just finished his work, couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"Those who can do it should do more work. Haha, Mr. Hao is a great sage. How can you, Mr. Hao, be troubled by such trivial matters?"
Cheng Denggao flattered Hao Chujun with a smile on his face, then personally took the stack of memorials from the young eunuch's hand and handed them to Hao Chujun's copy very politely.
"Eunuch Cheng really thinks highly of Hao. You are standing and talking without straining your waist. Huh? Why are there no inscriptions on these notes? They were not just presented before. How come they were turned back again?"
Hao Chujun laughed and cursed, picked up the top fold and took a look at it, his brows furrowed involuntarily, he glanced at Cheng Denggao suspiciously, and asked in confusion.
"So that Mr. Hao will know that the empress has said that this matter must be dealt with by the political affairs hall first. If not, it will not be discussed. I hope Mr. Hao and the other ministers will take the trouble to do this. Sajia
I still have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”
Cheng Denggao was just following orders and didn't understand the real intention of Empress Wu's move. He was afraid that if he said more, he would be wrong. He didn't want to delay more in the political hall. After having a haha, he didn't care what the two prime ministers thought.
He quickly ran away.
"This old cunning guy is really serious!"
These secrets have been submitted by the courtiers in the past few days. All the ministers and ministers know the stakes involved, and no one is willing to express their position easily on this matter. There were few secrets in the past two days, so everyone can pretend
Zuo didn't know, but today's book collections had accumulated to twenty volumes, which was the bottom line that must be discussed. Hao Chujun was on duty today, and it happened to happen. He had no choice but to play around with the contradiction and hand it over, but he didn't expect that Empress Wu would be more serious.
He simply and directly rejected the ticket, which really gave Hao Chujun a headache.
"Mr. Hao, I'm afraid we need to be cautious about this matter."
Encouraging people to join is not a trivial matter. Gao Zhizhou is also on duty today, so he doesn't want to get involved easily. Now, fearing that Hao Chujun would get hot-headed, he would really make arrangements and he would not be able to escape the relationship, so he hurried from
There was a reminder on the side.
"Well, we should be cautious. Tomorrow is the day for discussion in the political hall. It won't be too late to discuss it then."
Although Hao Chujun desperately hoped that Li Xian could supervise the country, what he thought in his heart was one thing, but making a statement was another matter. He had no intention of coming up with an opinion today. Now that Gao Zhizhou mentioned
After discussing it, he was naturally happy to be "cautious". After a vague response, he pushed all the folds aside...
