Human beings are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. Even a person as decisive as Empress Wu still has softness in her heart. Although there are not many, it still exists. Helan Minzhi is undoubtedly a concern in Empress Wu's heart. In Empress Wu's mind
Compared with other princes, his status in the army was even worse than that of other princes. Even though Helan Minzhi was really a playboy, Empress Wu never criticized him for his willful behavior, but instead always congratulated him.
Lan Minzhi's evil deeds were covered up or the consequences were dealt with, and he took great care of him. Fundamentally speaking, it was probably not only because of his deep relationship with his sister Wu Shun, but also because of He Lan Minzhi's
The handsome image only placed some thoughts on Empress Wu.
If possible, Empress Wu really does not want He Lan Minzhi to be harmed, but feelings are feelings. In major matters, it is impossible for Empress Wu to be swayed by emotions. When it is time to kill, there will be no hesitation at all, let alone
It is soft, but after the incident, guilt is inevitable. Even if it is not much, there is still some after all. This is the reason why Empress Wu has been letting Helan Minzhi play nonsense these days, but has not shown up. However,
Today, Empress Wu had to come forward, for no other reason than that Emperor Gaozong, who had just recovered from his illness, issued an order to set up a mourning hall for the Korean lady and her daughter in the palace, and also wanted to meet Helan Minzhi, fearing that Helan Minzhi would be buried in the palace.
Empress Wu, who caused trouble in front of her, had to move her to come in person.
"Son, come on, get up quickly, my aunt will make the decision for you." The strange color in Empress Wu's eyes just flashed past, and she soon regained her clarity. She bent down and patted Helan Minzhi.
Moving his shoulders, he gave a gentle persuasion.
"Your Majesty, my nephew's heart aches, Your Majesty..." Although He Lan Minzhi knelt down obediently, the tears in his eyes were still gushing like springs. He looked up at Empress Wu and cried heartbrokenly.
road.
"Don't cry, my aunt. My aunt is also feeling pain in her heart. Alas, my sister and Yue'er died unjustly at the hands of villains. My aunt..." After saying this, Empress Wu's eyes turned red, tears welled up, and she choked with sobs.
Unable to speak any more, the aunt and nephew began to cry at each other, which immediately caused all the eunuchs and maidens accompanying them to panic, but no one dared to step forward to persuade them, they could only look at each other in confusion.
"My dear, my mother and sister have always been kind-hearted and never fought with others. Why did they end up in such a tragic death? My nephew is puzzled. My dear, what is the reason for this..." The more He Lan Minzhi cried, the sadder he became. At the end,
, there was a sense of accountability in the words.
"Don't worry, my son, the case has been solved, the first rebel has been punished, and the additional rebels will also be eliminated. To comfort my sister and Yue'er's spirit in the sky, come on, get up. Your Majesty wants to see you, so you must not lose your etiquette. Otherwise, my aunt
I can't protect you, come on, please take a bath and change your clothes!" Upon hearing He Lan Minzhi's words becoming more and more outrageous, Empress Wu's eyes flashed brightly, but she did not accuse He Lan Minzhi of Meng Lang, but
After a few words of gentle persuasion, he gave the order in a tone that could not be doubted. The eunuchs and maidens who were waiting on the side rushed forward. Regardless of whether He Lanmin liked it or not, they stood up and helped him to the back hall.
Perhaps because of the presence of Empress Wu, He Lanmin no longer behaved rudely. He just sobbed softly and let a group of eunuchs help him into the back hall. He just turned around and passed through the darkness of the porch.
At this time, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Helan Minzhi's mouth. There was a bit of ferocity, a bit of resentment, and a bit of determination in it. As for why he laughed, only God could tell him.
got it.
I don't know when, the sky became overcast again, the clouds were very low, the lightning flashed from time to time, and the thunder was faint. The first heavy rain of this spring was about to fall. There were no lights in the spacious hall, and it was dark.
, it was almost difficult to see, but Li Xian didn't mind at all, and had no intention of ordering people to light the lamps. He sat alone in front of the table, staring thoughtfully at the end game on the table, holding something in his hand.
He was holding a chess piece, as if he was thinking about reviewing the game, but in fact his heart was no longer on the chess piece.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since I was reborn, and I have experienced quite a lot. It’s time to make a summary, especially at this time when the situation is about to change.
In the face of great changes, Li Xian cannot help but carefully think about the future path - yes, Li Xian has done a lot secretly this year and made some changes to the original historical trend.
, it can even be said that certain progress has been made, but Li Xian himself is very sober, because the overall situation has not fundamentally changed, and the situation is still very serious.
It's a pity, it's really a pity. Li Xian deeply regrets not being able to save Helan Minyue. Unfortunately, it has already happened. No matter how much he thinks about it, it is in vain. Li Xian is sober about this. The trouble is that as Helan Minyue's mother
With the death of the girl, no one in the harem could restrain Empress Wu. After this great change, Gaozong's already weak body was bound to deteriorate further, and Empress Wu's power would rise again. This trend seems to have
Unstoppable, how to respond has become Li Xian's first consideration.
In Li Xian's view, Empress Wu was able to control the government by walking on three legs. It was obviously unimaginable for Li Xian to hold the emperor hostage in the palace. Let alone Li Xian, it was Gaozong himself who knew clearly about Empress Wu's ambitions.
It was difficult to do anything, and the most they could do was try their best to support the prince to curb Empress Wu's growing ambitions. The problem is that history has proved that this road does not work at all - although the prince is virtuous, it is a pity that his methods are not ruthless enough, and in the end
It is difficult to escape the end of Empress Wu's murder. As for Empress Wu's second leg, that is the gang of rogue officials in Dali Temple. In this regard, Li Xian can try to use the prince to gradually destroy Empress Wu's party in Dali Temple. Of course
, even if Li Xian does not come forward to promote it, the prince will never sit back and watch such an important institution in the hands of Empress Wu. A fierce battle is inevitable. Although the outcome is difficult to predict, Li Xian is not too worried.
It’s not like Li Xian didn’t have the guts to do the frame-up thing, not to mention that the Dali Temple officials themselves were not seamless, so it was still easy to find faults. What really gave Li Xian a headache was precisely the new rise.
A bachelor from Beimen who has not yet become a big figure.
The North Gate bachelors headed by Liu Yizhi, Zhou Simao, Fan Lubing, Wei Jingye and others can only be regarded as emerging talents. Although they were promoted by Empress Wu when Taishan was enshrined, after all, the foundation of this group of civil servants is relatively shallow. At present, they are at best
They can only be regarded as a group of middle-level officials. It seems difficult to make a big show in the overall situation of the court and arouse the vigilance of the big shots in the court. However, Li Xian is well aware of the dangers of the North Gate Bachelor. As early as in Luoyang, Li Xian
He was already thinking about ways to dismantle or even eradicate this cancer. For Li Xian, the importance of the North Gate Scholars was actually far greater than that of Empress Wu’s favored inner palace and the gang of rogue officials in Dali Temple. The reason was simple.
Although shameless writers have poor character, their writing skills are very hard and their ability to create public opinion is truly earth-shaking, which should not be taken lightly - Li Xian's own writing style is only average, but nothing more. He who has experienced the officialdom of later generations
Li Xian is very familiar with how to guide public opinion and even build momentum. In addition, he has countless quintessential articles from later generations, so he is not necessarily afraid of these shameless literati. The problem is that Li Xian himself has already made the decision to abandon articles.
With Wu's posture, he is bound to be unable to make astonishing moves in civil affairs. Besides, as a prince, Li Xian cannot directly come forward to litigate with a group of low-status civil servants. In this case, how to suppress this group of Zibei
The bachelor's degree has become a big problem.
Talent, in the final analysis, is still lacking! Li Xian clearly knew where his shortcomings were, but it was a pity that he could not solve the problem for a while. Of course, if the imperial examination could be run well, this problem would definitely be greatly solved.
Ease, it is just that the difficulty of passing the imperial examination reform at the court meeting is not as simple as it sounds. Even though Li Xian confidently persuaded Li Xian to cooperate when he was at Hangu Pass, in fact,
It was just to boost Li Xian's confidence. When it came to the court meeting, there was bound to be a good fight. Whether he could get what he wanted was still in doubt.
"Seventh brother, why don't you even light the lamp?"
Just when Li Xian was having a lot of thoughts, there was a sound of footsteps, and King Lu Li Xian, who was full of spring breeze, led a few personal eunuchs and strode in from outside the palace. When he saw Li Xian sitting alone in the darkness, he couldn't help but smile.
He stood up and asked casually.
"Brother Six, looking at your complexion, everything must be going well."
Li Xian turned around and glanced at Li Xian. Seeing that he looked good, he curled his lips and replied with a smile.
"Hold the lamp!"
Li Xian laughed and did not immediately answer Li Xian's words. Instead, he waved his hand casually and ordered the eunuchs to light the oil lamps and candles on the lampposts. He strode to the table and sat down.
, stretched out contentedly and said: "Brother, I met someone before I went to see you. Seventh brother, guess who it is?"
What are you talking about? There are so many people to meet here, who knows? Li Xian secretly cursed, but his face was still full of smiles. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Six is joking, and my younger brother is kidding again."
If you are not a god, how can you guess the root cause, so Sixth Brother should just tell the truth."
"Haha, so that the seventh brother can know that when I was talking to my father, my mother personally accompanied Helan Minzhi into the palace. Can you guess what kind of assignment this guy got?" Li Xian waved his hand with a smile.
He started by saying He Lan Minzhi's name, but in the end he still let it slip. It was obvious that Li Xian was in a better mood at this moment.
He Lan Minzhi? Hey, it’s this kid who dares to love you. Well, I think that lady must be trying to compensate him in some way! Li Xian is well aware of how much He Lan Minzhi is favored by Empress Wu. Hearing Li Xian’s words
He had already guessed the general explanation, but Li Xian did not intend to say it. Instead, he looked at Li Xian with a look of great confusion, and asked hesitantly: "Could it be the queen mother?"
Please seal it?"
"What, what are you thinking about, seventh brother? Hey, the queen mother proposed that He Lan Minzhi be the supervisor and beheader, and all the men from the second martial brother's family be beheaded, and all the women and children be given to He Lan Minzhi as slaves. My father agreed.
I'm afraid the edict has been drafted by now." Li Xian laughed and revealed the answer to the mystery.
So that's it, ha, that's quite interesting, He Lan Minzhi? Interesting, very interesting! When he thought of He Lan Minzhi's evil deeds in his previous life, Li Xian's heart moved, and he already had some concerns, but
But he didn't say that he would come out, but he laughed with Li Xian.
