Chapter 145 Great Fortune
After the death of Empress Dowager Chen, Emperor Tianci quickly stabilized the overall situation, and Tang Zhen was an important helper of Emperor Tianci, so Tang Zhen was very busy these days. While taking care of the emperor's affairs, he also took time to deal with the mess left by Tang Xiong's rebellion.A person like him hardly has any time for himself, and when he meets Su Yu, he is squeezed out of the cracks, but he seems to be in a good mood.

While revising the document, he said:

"I think you have heard about the matter in the palace. You don't have to worry about how the queen mother and concubine Liang died. Anyway, the sky has changed now. The emperor is kind, and he is very tolerant to the old queen mother Chen. Including people like Li Wantang, the emperor They all chose to keep it. Therefore, the city of Luoyang looks very peaceful now. There is no sign of large-scale cleaning.

This is not surprising, the empress dowager and the emperor belonged to the same power, and the emperor treated the empress dowager's old department with kindness, so he could inherit all the inheritance of the empress dowager.There are also some people, in fact, they are loyal to the emperor, so they listen to the Queen Mother, such as Zhang Yunlong.

When Emperor Tianci was still young, he went to the Western Regions to meet King Mu.That was Empress Dowager Chen's plan to stabilize King Mu, and to use King Mu to check and balance the three great powers.But he never thought that King Mu would encourage the emperor to make the Northern Expedition himself, and he would send his general Gongsun Xiong to the emperor to be the vanguard on the left.

As a result, the emperor really led the army in the Northern Expedition. That time, I, Meng Danqing, and Ximen Zhensen were all in the Northern Expedition team. Zhang Yunlong and Gongsun Xiong were the vanguards. The three of us were the left wing, right wing, and rear team.

At that time, the three old princes were still alive.The emperor took the three most important sons of the great family to the Northern Expedition. How do you think the three guilds will treat them?They desperately sent supplies to the north to help the emperor wipe out the main force of Donghu in one fell swoop.That time we fought all the way to Langjuxu Mountain.To be honest, that experience was really good.Sometimes you can even dream.

That is, during the Northern Expedition, Zhang Yunlong established a relationship of absolute trust with the emperor.And between me, Meng Danqing, and Ximen Zhensen, there is actually some tacit understanding.Otherwise, when the East Mansion's finances were in crisis, Meng Danqing would not give me this face and persuade Meng Sixun to stop.If Meng Sixun didn't stop, Ling'er would be completely defeated.And the East Mansion is in chaos, I will bow to my second uncle (Tangning) and beg him for help.

Now Zhang Yunlong is the general of Xuanjia, and for the emperor, he is the best backer.And Cao Sheng, the commander-in-chief, is also the best friend of Emperor Tianci.Cao Sheng's niece, Cao Yuzan, is also the emperor's favorite concubine Yi.

Zhao Ting, the food officer of the governor of Xuanjia, is the emperor's cousin. Among the members of the royal family, Zhao Ting is the most popular, claiming to represent all the princes to serve the emperor.If any prince refuses to accept it, he will destroy him.

Xuanjia General Staff General Gongsunxiong is a talented man left by the king of Mu to the emperor, and he is from Xianbei. As long as the emperor maintains the original preferential treatment policy for the Xianbei clan, Gongsunxiong will never rebel against the emperor.

With the support of Zhang Yunlong, Cao Sheng, Zhao Ting, and Gongsun Xiong, the emperor now basically controls the royal power.

Among the five generals of the Xuanjia Army, only Chen Qing, the deputy general, was transferred away.At the same time, take back the Tiger Talisman of General Zhonglang of the Third Division (Jinwu Guard).However, the emperor was very kind to this cousin, and kept Chen Qing's title, allowing him to be a Marquis in peace, and not to participate in military affairs in the future.

As long as Chen Qing handed over the tiger talisman and was treated properly, the other Zhonglang generals could easily accept the emperor's dispatch, and of course they couldn't accept it.The emperor wanted to promote people he knew during the Northern Expedition, so that he would feel at ease. "

Su Yu nodded and said: "God bestows the emperor with kindness and wisdom. He has kept a low profile for many years, but it was not in vain. And that Mu Wang Qiansui is really far-sighted, which is admirable."

Tang Zhen nodded with a smile, and put down his pen: [It is said that the emperor is cowardly, but I think that is just an illusion.It's because the Empress Dowager Chen is too domineering, that's why the emperor appears cowardly.However, the emperor's health was really bad. According to the news from the palace, the emperor's stool was like blood.I asked the imperial doctor, but there is no way to cure this disease.

The emperor went to court in person, and after only three days, he felt that his health was failing.Last night, the three princes were invited to the apse to discuss, to make Concubine Liang's son the crown prince, and let the prince supervise the administration.

The child is only three years old, how to supervise the administration?

This is obviously to establish a queen and let the queen bring the prince to court.

The emperor said that I have the talent to govern the country, that Duke Meng has the talent to govern the country, and that Duke Ximen has the talent to enrich the country.As long as the three of us work together, Daliang Dynasty will inevitably become prosperous and strong.As for who is sitting on the dragon chair, it doesn't really matter.

Of course he said it himself.

But I quite agree with his words, especially the evaluation of Prime Minister Meng Danqing.Meng Danqing is not an easy person. Not only can he take good care of the Meng family, but he is also fully capable of governing the country.What is even more valuable is that he has a heart for governing the country.

That's pretty remarkable.As long as he is there, there will be no chaos in Daliang Dynasty.

I will support Meng Danqing in governing the country, and Meng Danqing will also help the Tang family pay off their debts.

And Ximen Zhensen, that ghost, has always been kind.He has always been adhering to the way of survival of 'no one offends me, I will not offend others'.We are too lazy to talk to him, but sometimes we can't talk to him.

He is really smelly and hard, treacherous and slippery, and he never suffers.The Ximen family chose him as the heir, and they really did not make a mistake.Their Ximen family has always had this deadly virtue.On the surface, you can't see what he wants to do, but a knife in the back is often fatal. 】

Su Yu nodded and said: "The emperor's wisdom has always been underestimated. Although he has been in a dormant state for a long time, he actually has a clear understanding of the affairs of the court, and his evaluation of the eighteenth brother is also sharp. The most capable person in the Liang Dynasty is not the eighteenth brother." No brother."

This sentence seems to have reached Tang Zhen's heart. He smiled and became more interested in speaking: [The emperor also said that some policies of the previous empress dowager were too tough. Excessive punishments and heavy punishments, cutting off hands, feet, eyes, and tongues at every turn, resulted in too many disabled people in the Liang Dynasty.This is very bad.

These tortures seem to be able to stabilize the imperial power, but in fact, like ants eating elephants, they will exhaust Daliang Chao Guozuo.Now the emperor wants to abolish these evil laws.The punishment of beheading hands, feet, eyes, and tongue should be abolished, and tattooed on the face.This can not only punish those criminals, but also ensure that they still have the ability to work or serve.

Regarding the posthumous title of the queen mother, the emperor now wants to give her the posthumous title of "Wu Lie", because too many wars were launched during the queen mother's reign.Originally, the emperor said it in a joking tone, but none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty objected.On the contrary, this matter is settled like this.Maybe the emperor also felt dumbfounded. 】

Having said that, Tang Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head.

Since Su Yu knew Tang Zhen, it was the first time he heard him talk so much.

When looking for Tang Zhen to do things before, Tang Zhen always asked about the situation first, and then directly gave conclusions or guidance.But this time was different, Tang Zhen talked a lot.

It seems that he is in a really good mood.It was like seeing some kind of dawn.

Tang Zhen said that Meng Danqing had the heart to govern the country, but Su Yu felt that Tang Zhen's heart to govern the country was stronger than Meng Danqing.This man has a great sense of national responsibility.It is a great blessing for the Liang Dynasty and even the nation to have someone like him assume the power of the Liang Dynasty.
