Great Tang princess

While Li Yuechen was sitting on the boat blowing the sea breeze, the Eastern Capital Chaotang was caught in discussions about the next thing.

Today in court, the emperor suddenly announced that the Lu family had rebelled in Fanyang, and the evidence was conclusive. More than a hundred pairs of armor were found in the house, and the name of rebellion had been confirmed.

Hearing such news, the courtiers were all surprised, they did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

However, before they could say anything, the emperor suddenly announced that the members of the Lu clan had been arrested by Princess Taiping, and they were escorted to Dongdu.

Compared with Lu's rebellion, this kind of news surprised them even more, and many people even broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a simple family matter is enough to show that the infiltration ability of the Royal Dark Guard has reached an extremely terrifying level. The people there have just made preparations, and the people here have already passed.

In addition, it is no longer a secret that the hang glider flying over Dongdu is no longer a secret. With such a fast communication speed, it is indeed possible to respond before the other party has reacted.

Since ancient times, whenever someone rebelled, it was basically a few days after the army was raised to get the news, and then the emperor could make various countermeasures.

But under this high-speed communication, the situation has been completely reversed.

When the dark guard got the news, he could send the news within a day, and the emperor could make a decision immediately and take down the opponent before he fully raised his troops.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, and his slightly vicissitudes of voice echoed in the hall: "After all the masterminds are escorted back, the three divisions will interrogate. To protect fairness and avoid suspicion. Starting today, all Fan Yanglu Officials from the family background, temporarily cut off contact with the outside world..."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and a group of Qianniuwei in black military uniforms came in from outside the hall, came behind those officials from the Lu family, set them up on the left and right, and left.

Immediately, officials begged for mercy, not to do this.

Wu Zetian said that he did not want to detain them, but just asked them to live in a designated place for a few days, explain the problem, and see if they knew about it.

And the person responsible for this matter is none other than the current General Zuo Weiwei, Pei Huaiyi.

This is a third-rank official. It stands to reason that in this era, the official with the most real power is the third-rank official, so he is also called a third-rank official.

As for the first and second ranks, it is more of an honorary nature, but it is simply a high status and does not have any real power in its hands.

However, the entire country's army is now in the hands of Princess Taiping, so the general Pei Huaiyi is just a name, and he has no soldiers to use.

But Pei Huaiyi was in charge of dirty work, and the ministers knew that once these Lu officials fell into his hands, there would be no good results.

Because the continuous sitting is now abolished, these people may not necessarily die, but this position must not be able to sit anymore.

But this is something that can’t be helped. Other things are easy to talk about, but the rebellion has touched the imperial family’s inverse scales. It has been immortal since ancient times. Can cast a helpless look like those officials who were taken away.

The officials from the Lu family didn't resist either. They knew the soldiers in black uniforms around them, and they were all trained by the princess herself, so they would never listen to what they said.

If they dared to make a little resistance at this time, they would really dare to draw out their axes and chop people.

Di Renjie and other shrewd ministers could tell that now the emperor's intention was very clear, that is, to completely remove the Lu family from the court.

Simply put, this is an attempt to cut off the roots of the family.

Even if your family background is rich and the three generations are not allowed to be officials, the so-called background is just some illusory things.

After talking about this matter, Wu Zetian continued to announce: "In addition, according to the intelligence, the Lu family has secretly conspired with foreigners and intends to invade our border. At this moment, Princess Zhenguo has led troops to the north, intending to stop the enemy with all her strength..."

Regarding this matter, the courtiers were not very worried. Princess Taiping claimed to be the God of War, so there was no need to worry about fighting.

Compared with winning or losing, the courtiers are more worried about another issue. Now that she is the minister of the Ministry of War and has opened a mansion by herself, it can be said that she already has the capital to be a powerful minister. If she really dominates the court in the future, what should they do? How to do?
So many ministers discussed one after another, advising His Majesty that someone else should do this matter. In essence, she does not want Princess Taiping to continue to receive military merit. Every point of her military merit will increase her prestige in the army. Layer, this is not what they want to see.

Wu Zetian seemed to have expected this, and asked with a light smile, "If other people are sent to go, who is sure that this battle will be won? Princess Zhen Guo issued a military order to me, saying that she would never let the enemy army be injured. I am one of the people! Who else can guarantee this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the hall.

It is not impossible to fight now, but this kind of military order is not something that everyone dares to issue. It is easy to say that it is not easy to prevent the enemy from injuring a single person, but the war itself is chaotic. Not impossible.

For a while, many ministers fell silent, except for one person.

Fengge servant Wei Fangzhi stood up from his seat, saluted respectfully and played: "Your Majesty, please follow the old system and send the imperial censor to supervise the army!"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers' eyes lit up, this is a good way!
And Di Renjie did sneer to himself, he could think of such a stupid way, it's no wonder the emperor agreed!

In the current court, he can be said to be in a state where everyone is drunk and I am alone, and he has a very clear grasp of the court situation.

He himself often played chess or Shuanglu with the emperor, and almost became Wu Zetian's boyfriend.Secondly, he reached a consensus with Princess Taiping, so he knows far more than others.

But Wei Fang is different, he can also see that Princess Taiping is powerful now, almost equal to the second emperor, but she thinks from a different angle.

From Wei Fangzhi's point of view, Princess Taiping was extremely intelligent since she was a child. I heard that the late emperor never found a teacher for her, either she was born with it or she was a self-taught genius.

Because she has not received Confucian education, but has practiced martial arts since she was a child, the princess's behavior style is closer to that of legalists and military strategists.

But in any case, Wei Fangzhi would not believe this kind of genius-type person who said he was not interested in the throne.

In his opinion, Princess Taiping must have coveted the throne since she was sensible. At that time, the eldest prince Li Hong passed away, and the remaining three seemed to her to be idiots, so she naturally had some ideas.

At the same time, she also knew that as a woman, it would not be easy for her to sit on the throne, so she had to start from other aspects.

It happened that I realized that I was highly skilled in combat, so I came up with a plan to accumulate military merits and qualifications from the army, gradually control the court, and finally ascend to the throne!

Because he is not sure what the consequences will be for a woman ascending the throne, so relying on the late emperor's death order, it seems that he will fight his mother again, but secretly help her ascend the throne and let her find the way for himself.

Now it has been proved that a woman can also be an emperor, so the next step must be to prepare for her succession to the throne...

In Wei Fangzhi's heart, Li Yuechen has become a black-bellied princess with a sinister smile on his face. Over the years, he has been working step by step and developing his own plan little by little.

Whether it is the invention of refined salt, lowering the price of salt, or the current Taiping Distillery, Taiping Bookstore, and the National Library...all of these are to accumulate prestige and qualifications for oneself.

Not to mention that she has also greatly increased food production... It can be said that the current Princess Taiping is already famous all over the world!

All she did was to prepare for one day sitting on the dragon chair, because she didn't want to be controlled by the imperial court, so she desperately suppressed the family, and she wanted to be an uncompromising emperor, just like Qin Shihuang!
If she becomes the emperor, the people all over the world will raise their hands to support her. This kind of reputation will give her the confidence to be on the dragon chair in the future!
Even this time, the issuance of a military order can even arouse huge repercussions among the people!It can be said that it won't be long before the second queen will officially sit on the Dragon Throne!

Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the world, at least in Wei Fangzhi's opinion, it is not a good thing. If the ministers have to act according to the emperor's face in the future, wouldn't the courtiers become vassals of the imperial power?How is that different from servants and maidservants at home?
This is a situation that all the courtiers are unwilling to see, so today he proposed to let the censor supervise the army, as if he wanted to put some checks and balances on the princess, at least to contain it.

Hearing his proposal, Wu Zetian was silent for a few seconds, then adjusted his sitting posture, and then slowly said: "The ancients were named emperors and sent generals, and all affairs outside the world were entrusted. For example, I heard that Yushi supervises the army, and there is nothing wrong with the army." Both big and small must be reported... the following rules are not ordered! And why should they be blamed for meritorious service?!"

With a rhetorical question, Wei Fangzhi didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he froze in place thinking.

But Wu Zetian was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him, and just waved his hand lightly: "Okay, this matter is settled like this, I am a little tired, let the tide go out!"

A light sentence, even if this matter is settled.If it was before, there might still be some troubles, but the Lu family's rebellion just happened today, and no one wanted to touch the emperor at this time, so the courtiers saluted one after another: "Respectfully, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian got up and walked into the passage, and said to Princess Yiyang who was in charge of recording: "Today's matter, we must write an article and publish it in the newspaper as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will prepare the baby when I get back, and I will bring it to Madam for review before sunset."

"En!" Wu Zetian nodded, and then returned to Jixian Hall with Zhang Chengxin's support.

……

On the other side, on the endless ocean, the Baidizi was sailing slowly.

The wind wasn't very strong today, so the speed of the boat was a bit slow. Li Yuechen was not in a hurry, so he sat on the deck chair, fished in the water with a fishing rod, and tried to fish.

In fact, Li Yuechen didn't know fishing at all, and he didn't have any hobbies in it, but being on this boat was too boring, so he had nothing to do to try it out.

If you are lucky enough to catch one or two fish, it would be nice to try fish sticks.

To put it bluntly, fish meat is sashimi, but most of them use river fish in this era.Even though there may not be as many kinds of germs now as in the future, but in the same way, the resistance of people in this era is not as good as that of people in the future.

So Li Yuechen seldom tried this way of eating, even if he ate it occasionally, he would drink some high-grade liquor and eat some garlic to sterilize the bacteria.

Relatively speaking, sea fish has less bacteria than river fish, and it tastes better. Just because you are bored on the boat, you can try it.

If you are lucky, you can catch a tuna or something, and you can compare the difference with the fish in the future.

But her luck seems to be only in what she is good at. The less she is good at, the worse her luck is. She sat on the deck for a whole afternoon, and it was almost sunset, not to mention tuna, not even a fish scale.

But the problem is that today I want to eat some fish, so Li Yuechen, who was a little angry, threw the fishing rod to Wang Wuqiong beside him, and then got up and shouted: "All men, turn your heads to me!"

All the men on board turned around in unison, with their backs facing this side.

Without further ado, Li Yuechen took off his coat, leaving only the gauze wrapped around his chest and a pair of underwear. With one hand on the railing of the deck, he jumped out.

"Your Highness..." Wang Wuqiong didn't have time to stop her, so Li Yuechen jumped into the sea with a "plop".

Wang Wuqiong searched on the fence, but Li Yuechen was still nowhere to be seen.

Her physique is different from ordinary people. She can hold her breath underwater for more than ten minutes. This is still in the case of exercise. If she just sits at the bottom without moving, it is estimated that she can last for nearly half an hour.

Taking advantage of the still sunlight, Li Yuechen kept walking under the water, trying to catch two fish.

However, all the fish in sight were small fish, and none of them were big enough.

Li Yuechen himself can eat better than others, and those palm-sized fish are not enough to fit between his teeth.

After swimming underwater for nearly ten minutes, Li Yuechen still didn't see a satisfactory fish. Li Yuechen was a little disappointed and was about to go back to the boat.

However, at this moment, a few black shadows were seen swimming over quickly, and upon closer inspection, it was a group of dolphins.

If you can still play with them for a while, but now it is night, the sun is setting, not only the temperature of the sea water has dropped sharply, but if there are sharks swimming in the dark, it will be dangerous.

After waving with them, she was about to go back to the sea, but suddenly she saw these dolphins seemed familiar, as if they were the ones she played with in the sea a few days ago.

As several dolphins approached, Li Yuechen found that two of them were still holding two fish in their mouths. Looking carefully, dammit, tuna!

The two fish were not dead, not even bitten through the skin. When they came to the front, the two dolphins let go of their mouths, and the tuna was caught again before it could swim away.

It seemed that they were trying to teach Li Yuechen to hunt.

But after coming down a few times, I saw that she was too stupid, so I stopped teaching, and directly put two fish to her mouth.

If she hadn't been holding her breath, Li Yuechen would have laughed in the water. She grabbed two tunas, waved to them, and then floated back to the surface of the sea.

Seeing the princess finally stuck her head out, Wang Wuqiong, who was lying on the fence, breathed a sigh of relief, took the rope ladder and lowered it down.

Li Yuechen first threw two nearly one-meter-long tuna onto the deck, and one of them seemed to have hit someone, then waved to a few dolphins poking their heads out, and climbed up the rope ladder himself.
