Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 116 Concocting the hearts of the people
Only the strength of character will inevitably fail to become a qualified prime minister. Di Renjie's ability to achieve this level has a lot to do with him being good at thinking and quick at action.He is an actionist, (The author is a brainstormer.)
After a little discussion with Lou Shide, Di Renjie had already made up his mind and went home to write the memorial.

No one can stop what this stubborn donkey decides.

In the early court, all the ministers were a bit at ease, and what they played was just trivial matters, such as the official position assessment, where the county magistrate was popular, and where bad things happened that needed to be dealt with severely. Dali Temple reported several cases, which should be a wake-up call for the world.A group of officials made full use of exaggerated assumptions, clarified the trivial matters, extended them a little, and analyzed them from various angles such as social economy and culture, and then aroused their feelings for their homeland, their love for the people, and their loyalty.

There is no big report from the handsome minister, and no great gift from the country. The court is peaceful and boring.

I thought it was time to leave early, and everyone was ready, so Di Renjie invited out his memorial.

"Your Majesty, the minister has his own play. Now that the world is stable, we should establish a crown prince to ensure the hearts of the people in the world. Since ancient times, the fight for the crown prince has caused shocks among the court officials at the least, and at worst it has caused conflicts in the same room. The crown prince should be established early to clarify the succession of the clan, so that the crown prince can Be prepared and learn to handle government affairs."

After Wu Huang heard this, his depressed mood all morning immediately turned into anger, so I am still alive and well?But he asked out of temper, "Di Aiqing, who do you think should be appointed as the crown prince?"

Di Renjie said righteously, "Li Xian, King of Luling, is His Majesty's direct son, he should be the crown prince."

Emperor Wu glanced around, "What do you think? Let's talk about it today, who should be the crown prince."

There were three factions in the court. Those headed by Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi supported the King of Luling, those headed by Shangshu Wang Qian of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Chong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, supported Wudan. Sansi, Song Jing and the others didn't speak, they stayed neutral and wanted to be safe.It is rare for Emperor Wu to take the initiative to ask him about this matter, and expressing his attitude on this matter is also a good way to win a lottery in front of the new emperor.

The Emperor Wu snorted coldly, and immediately fell to his knees in a dark mass under the court, but the voice of asking for the crown prince did not diminish at all, this please stand and then change his mind, he really became a villain, and offended both of them, there will be no future Good fruit to eat.

Emperor Wu forcibly retreated from the court, and everyone dispersed, but Di Renjie followed him to the palace. After hearing his ramblings, Emperor Wu still did not appoint the prince.

Di Renjie left, and Shen Sanwen came.

Shen Sanwen felt uneasy, he didn't go to the early court today, he wondered if the court was like what the news said, half of the court asked for a crown prince, if more than half, it's not an invitation, it's almost like persecution.

Emperor Wu glanced at him, seeing him saluting without reverence, always felt a little dissatisfied, "The court asked for a crown prince, but I am not satisfied with these two sons, so you and I will settle the matter and stop this leisurely Everyone."

Shen Sanwen's surprised eyeballs almost popped out, "Huh? Shall I handle this matter?"

Emperor Wu spoke a little faster, and seemed a little impatient, "This matter is not related to you, don't just sit around all day, you go back and think about it, don't be so lazy and waste a good brain. These veterans, stubborn If it doesn’t change, I’m also quite annoyed, so I will solve it as soon as possible.”

Shen Sanwen felt that he should be cold, so he replied in a very embarrassed way, "Oh."

The pen in Emperor Wu's hand couldn't write anymore, so he threw it directly, "Get lost."

Early in the morning, I came to hear such a sentence, and was driven away.Shen Sanwen yawned, shook his head, sobered up a bit, and then hurried home.

Shen San asked: "Princess, why did that old man Wang Qian suddenly support Wu Dan?"

The princess was as calm as usual, "His son, your good brother Wang Bin, returned to Beijing this month and has already become the right-hand man of the emperor, you don't know it yet."

Shen Sanwen really didn't know, "No wonder, I haven't seen him for a long time, I only thought that he was going back to his hometown to socialize, get married and have children, but I didn't expect to come back. Then this person is easy to deal with, Yao Chong didn't turn his head and followed him Shangguan Zhang Jianzhi surprised me."

The princess looked at the news from the early court seriously, and replied, "How long has Zhang Jianzhi been here? Yao Chong can stand firmly in the Ministry of Justice, and he will support the fourth brother with Liu Rengui's affection. Among these people, only Yao Chong needs to spend money. After a while, I will be waiting for your good news."

Shen Sanwen yawned, went back to sleep, rested and started to do things.There are a lot of things to do today, and I have to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, I have to play with my son to choose a master, and I have to receive distinguished guests from afar.

Before he got up, there was another small disturbance in the palace.

Among the two sons of Wudan, Li Chengqi was trained by his father for many years and has a gentle temperament. Li Longji was born later and was influenced by many virtuous officials.On this day, Fan Yunxian, an eunuch who had served Emperor Wu for many years, ran into Li Longji who came to visit him in the imperial garden.Seeing Li Longjisheng's handsome appearance and innocent smile, Fan Yunxian praised him a few times, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in his heart. I'm afraid everyone will not be so polite to this young prince today.

Li Longji has always been able to enter the palace without hindrance, but now there is a stumbling block. When the guard general Wu Yizong saw Li Longji, he insinuated and accused the general surnamed Li next to him, "This is the son of the future prince. Why don't you report it quickly when you enter the palace?" , Your surname is Li, why are you so blind."

Although Li Longji is a young boy, he also knows that this person is eccentric and malicious, so he immediately counterattacked, "This is the court of my Li family, the guard of the Li family, who are you, dare to scold my guard of the Li family like this."

Wu Yizong was very angry when he heard this. Today's emperor is surnamed Wu, so he immediately sent someone to arrest Li Longji.

Seeing this, Fan Yunxian came out to stop him, "General Wu calm down, it's just a child's joke, why take it seriously."

Wu Yizong also didn't want to refute the face of the emperor's close servant. After all, Fan Yunxian had been serving Emperor Wu since he entered the palace, so it was not easy to offend him, but he did not intend to let Li Longji go.

Although Li Longji entered the palace to meet the emperor's grandmother safely, he failed to leave the palace safely. Wu Yizong stopped him on the way out of the palace.

The last sentence he heard before he fell into a coma was, "It's just the concubine of a prince who fell out of favor. This court has long been surnamed Wu. To show off his might, change his clothes and send it to Wu Youji."

Li Longji hadn't returned for a long time, and soon after Wudan learned about it, he was very worried.Since the change of court, Wu Dan has been living in seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs and matters related to his parents and children, so he can't sit still anymore, and goes to the palace to inquire in person.Fan Yunxian expected in his heart that this move would make Emperor Wu dissatisfied, so he told the truth about the dispute between the two, Wu Yizong did not dare to murder the imperial son, he thought he would not be in danger of his life, but he suffered a bit.

Not long after, Li Longji returned safely.

It's just that the fire can't be contained in the paper, Wudan entered the palace and secretly conspired with Fan Yunxian, and someone who cared about it learned about it, and reported it to the Emperor Wu.Fan Yunxian actually knew it but did not report it, and covered up Wudan's deeds. I didn't believe it at all, so I ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Fan Yunxian was beaten by Lai Junchen for a while, and died soon after.It's easy to deal with when a person is dead, but Lai Junchen finally convinced Emperor Wu that Wu Dan had ulterior motives, colluding with the palace people, and plotting wrongdoing.

Emperor Wu accused Wudan of monitoring the court for being unfaithful and unfilial, and Wudan suffered unspeakably.

Soon, Wu Yizong sent people to frame the two concubines of Wudan for using witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu, and they were executed. Li Chengqi and Li Longji suffered from the pain of losing their mothers when they were young. Longji thus obtained the status of his son.

Of course, many things happened after Shen Sanwen woke up.

When Shen Sanwen woke up, he first took his son to the restaurant to meet Wang Bin.

Wang Bin fluttered in red clothes as before, but he added a bit of dignified and steady temperament.

Shen Sanwen joked with him when they met, "Xiaowen, this is your Uncle Wang, remember, people wearing this kind of bright red clothes are enthusiastic and laughing, and they lack the decisive temperament of being a general. Learn from your Uncle Wang."

Wang Bin's forehead was sweating violently. The most regrettable thing in life was not missing out on true love, but inadvertently making friends and "saying goodbye".

Shen San asked to stop him, "It's been a long time since we met, so we left? My son is still here, and I don't want to save any face for your brother? Come, Xiaowen, ask Uncle Wang to hug you."

Shen Xiaowen is very obedient, "Uncle Wang hugs, Xiaowen wants to buy a sword, Uncle Wang buys it for Xiaowen, okay?"

Wang Bin nodded, still hugging him very happily, feeling a burst of emotion, "I haven't seen you for a long time, your son is already this old."

Shen San asked: "Xiaowen, do you want to visit Uncle Wang's house?"

Shen Xiaowen opened his eyes obediently, full of expectation, "Can Uncle Wang?"

Wang Bin patted the little guy's head, "Good boy, after dinner, go home with Uncle Wang." Then he looked at Shen San and asked, "You called me out today, what's the matter?"

Shen San asked: "You haven't heard anything from me in the past three years, and I just found out that you have returned to Beijing recently, please be concerned."

Wang Bin sighed, "Father asked me to practice and run around for family affairs, so I returned to Beijing after busy work."

Shen San asked: "You have been busy for three years, what's the result?"

Wang Bin: "It's just that I acted according to the order, and the result has nothing to do with me."

Shen Sanwen felt that this must be a big deal, after three years of arrangement, he still couldn't explain it to outsiders. "Are you ready to support Wudan?"

Wang Bin was silent for a while, "Can we not talk about political affairs? It's good to catch up on the old days."

Shen San asked: "I am following His Majesty's order, it is not allowed."

Wang Bin: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Shen San asked: "Tell me first, the Wang family is really supporting Wudan with all their strength?"

Wang Bin: "Why don't you tell me first, who can be the heir apparent, and who do you support?"

Shen Sanwen felt that he should have been a little angry when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry.We have been best friends for many years, and today they are really their own masters, and they are asking questions that they all know.

"If you can trust me, then let your father restrain the royal family. Wu Dan is not a son of a son, nor is he a virtuous king. No matter what, the throne of His Majesty cannot be handed over to him."

Wang Bin shook his head, "This matter is far beyond my control. If I can, I don't want the Wang family to get involved in this dispute."

Shen Sanwen cheered up, "It's also good if you think so."

Wang Bin: "Now that the King of Luling is far away in Fangzhou, he is no different from ordinary people. Why can't Wudan be established as the prince? What you said before is always true. Is it His Majesty's intention or your own thinking. Let me analyze it today. Fan?"

Shen San asked: "Hey, Wudan is not lucky."

Wang Bin: "...Is there such an analysis by you?"

Shen San asked after taking a sip of his wine, "How is the current court situation?"

Wang Bin: "At present, [-]% of the officials support the establishment of the crown prince. Wudan intends to make concessions, and Li Tang's descendants support King Li Luling, but Yao Chong and other courtiers do not have a close relationship with King Luling, so they do not agree. The Wu family, the Li family, and the Cui family accounted for one-third. Since Cui Cha's dismissal, the Cui family has gradually split into three families. Chu, it is just that the Wu clan is cruel and worried that the Wu clan will take power and endanger the people. The princess, with the help of Song Jing and Shangguan Wan'er, inspected the officials and planted her confidantes.

Shen San asked, "Where is Master Lou?"

Wang Bin: "Lou Shide insists on being neutral, but some of his subordinates support Li Xian."

Shen San asked: "Does Li Xian not have this intention?"

Wang Bin: "I have no contact with the King of Luling, but I heard that the King of Luling is very affectionate, so he should be a benevolent king."

Shen San asked: "If the King of Luling is affectionate, why would he act recklessly when he first came to the throne? Even if he is kind, how can he ensure that his subordinates are also kind, so that Wudan and the princess can only compromise, and it is inevitable to be in danger."

But Wang Bin's words showed that Wu Dan had persuaded everyone to support Li Xian, and [-]% supported Li Xian. What kind of concept is this?He is just a common man in another place, and someone has paved the way for him, so how can it be so smooth?
Wang Bin drank silently.

Shen Sanwen suddenly thought of an important person, "Where is the Wu family? Is there any connection between Wu Sansi and King Luling?"

Wang Bin: "Are you stupid? Wu Chengsi still wants to be the prince. How could Wu Sansi abandon his cousin and support Li Xian?"

It doesn't make sense, if there are only these veterans of Li and Tang, and Wu's objection, Li Xian can't be the crown prince.After all, above the imperial court, Emperor Wu attaches great importance to balance, and the Wu family has a lot of power to speak.Unless the two parties reach an agreement and support Li Xian, he can sit on the crown prince.Li Xian became the prince and devoted himself to having fun, and then in Wu Zetian's later years, he came to power smoothly.During his return to Beijing, these supporting ministers will be able to build trust with him.

Wu Sansi must have taken refuge in King Luling.

People in the world, people in the imperial court, many people care about their interests, but few people care about who the emperor is.Only when the whole court speaks the same words can Emperor Wu mistakenly believe that the world thinks about the Tang Dynasty, and he is forced by the people's will to appoint Li Xian as the prince.Referring to the history of later generations, Wu Sansi is the only one who can have this courage and execution ability.He had already reached an agreement with Li Xian to support the new monarch, and even made an engagement with Li Gu'er for his son.

The two factions in the imperial court are consistent, and there is Shangguan Wan'er in the harem. Only in this way is a complete plan.

Shen Sanwen told Wang Bin, "This matter will be kept secret, Xiaowen will be in your care for a few days, and the following ten people will go to protect it, and I will return home first."

The princess was taking a lunch break, Shen Sanwen couldn't bear to be disturbed, and came to the study, intending to look through the list of courtiers again, but saw the information of the courtiers next to it, which mainly recorded the relationship between officials in the suburbs of Beijing and officials from various states, and some of them were circled.

Inside is a list of books written by the princess.

There are two columns on the left and right of the directory, and they are clearly separated. At first glance, you can tell that those on the left are those who support Li Xian, those on the right are those who support the princess, and those circled are those who remain neutral.

Below the directory, some neutral ones are also transcribed.

I just don't know if there is something wrong with these people, or if there is really something wrong with the Wu Clan.

Shen San asked after watching for a long time, knowing that the princess was coming, "Aren't you very busy today?"

Shen San asked: "I suddenly thought of something important, so I came back. Wu Sansi may have colluded with Li Xian."

The princess was very calm, "I see."

Shen San asked: "What happened to the court?"

Princess: "I'm just a little surprised. Some people in the court who originally supported Wu Chengsi kept their mouths shut. Otherwise, two people would be neutral, and the supporters and opponents should be [-]% each."

Shen San asked: "How many supporters does the princess have?"

Princess: "It's also [-]%."

Shen San asked: "How to deal with Wu Sansi?"

Princess: "What Wu Sansi wants, I can't give him."

Shen San asked: "It should be that Li Gu'er's birth had a great impact on Li Xian. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Princess: "I didn't expect that."

Shen San asked: "It's rare that there are things that you can't solve."

In fact, both of them knew that the easiest way was to kill Li Xian.But the princess would not do this, and neither could Shen Sanwen.Now it seems that Wudan does not have the heart of a subject, and the threat is less.

After tossing back and forth, it was getting late, Shen Sanwen rushed to the post station again to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.

Xue Shao returned to the capital from exile, but not many people knew about it.Now that Li Longji has reached the age when he should study, the timing is just right.

Shen Sanwen set up a banquet for Xue Shao to wash away the wind and clean up the dust, expressing condolences to him for his years of hard work.At this time, Xue Shao is no longer that elegant young man, but the departure of his family and the setbacks in life do not change his sense of justice.If Li Longji could have such a loving and righteous master by his side for a long time, Shen Sanwen would feel relieved.

After eating and drinking, and chatting, Shen Sanwen took Xue Shao to Wudan Mansion.

Just when Li Longji went home to wash up, he sulked gloomyly in the room.

Wu Dan was very polite to Xue Shao, he waited at home for a long time, and went out to greet them personally when they arrived.Xue Shao has a rare talent and is the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an. The Xue family and the Li family are long-term in-laws. Xue Shao's eldest brother died for the Li family. Xue Shao, the wife chosen for Li Longji, is in Li Dan's heart Naturally there are many differences.

At this time, Shen Sanwen didn't know what happened, and Li Longji's mother was still alive.Just as a referrer, the person has already arrived, and got up to leave.

Li Longji was rarely willing to go out, so Wu Dan brought Xue Shao in.

Wu Dan: "Longji has always been polite, but today he was wronged outside, Mr. Xue don't mind."

Xue Shao quickly expressed that he didn't mind, "It's Xue Shao's honor to be your master's teacher. My son is still young, and I met Xue for the first time, so it's only natural that I don't get close enough. Naturally, I have to teach slowly, and don't rush it."

Because Shen Xiaowen went to Wang's mansion, the matter of choosing a teacher happened to be postponed. These days, the Wang's mansion is flying like dogs and dogs. Xiao Wen climbs the rockery to play in the pool every day, catches goldfish and breaks lotus flowers, and there are ten tails behind him.Wang Bin couldn't bear it anymore, and after receiving many reproaches from his elders, he realized how much trouble he had caused, and brought back a remarkable person in the capital.But the little overlord is domineering in the palace, and he doesn't want to go home at all, and the people in the palace can't forcefully drive him away.

On the other side, Xue Shao patiently drew closer to Li Longji, and also got closer to Li Longji a lot.

Knowing that Xue Shao is coming to Beijing, Wang Bin makes an appointment with his old friend Cui Xuan, asks Shen Sanwen, and plans to hold a gathering of old friends.

Knowing that there are two more uncles, Xiaobawang went to the banquet happily.

Xue Shao brought Li Longji, Wang Bin brought Xiaobawang, Shen Sanwen brought money, Cui Xuan brought a folding fan, and they gathered together in the restaurant.

During the banquet, Li Longji was naturally mentioned. With his indifferent and precocious face, he was like a snowstorm in summer at a lively party, and he was also the protagonist that could not be ignored.

Cui Xuan then asked: "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

Xue Shao introduced lightly: "There was a dispute with Wu Yizong. The young master said that Chaotang's surname was Li, and he had nothing to do with him. He was not allowed to reprimand the guards. He was humiliated. Now that he is still young, every time he thinks about it, he naturally cares a little bit. "

All of you here are smart people, so they naturally know what it means. Being able to understand it at such a young age naturally has nothing to do with his knowledge, and there must be an adult's meaning in it.Whether it was Wu Dan's meaning or his subordinates' meaning, the young master's words pushed Wu Dan to the opposite side of the Wu family.

Shen San asked and glanced at him, "Longji, what's your majesty's last name?"

Li Longji said numbly, "My surname is Wu, but this is still Li's family, it was in the past, and it will be in the future."

Shen Sanwen looked into his eyes seriously, "Now Jiangshan's surname is Wu, and His Majesty got it by his ability. This Jiangshan's previous surname was Li, which was the skill of the ancestors and fathers of the Li family, and it is their glory. As the name of the Li family Children and grandchildren, you can't look down on anyone by relying on the ability of your predecessors. The Li family can become a high-ranking royal family now, relying on the support of thousands of people in the world. They may not be noble or smart, but they are powerful The cornerstone of Wu Yizong. As an imperial official, as a guard general, he can naturally manage his subordinates. His virtues are judged by his colleagues and history books. Now that you are still young, you don’t need to be involved in the disputes of these adults. Be cautious Okay, don't cause trouble for yourself and your father. In the future, you can rely on your own ability to protect the glory of your ancestors, so let's talk about today's words, understand?"

After this long passage, Li Longji couldn't understand for a while, scratched his head, and nodded.

Seeing this, Xue Shao felt very relieved, "Brother Shen's words are justified."

Cui Xuan also responded, "Young master, what Brother Shen means is that no one is destined to be noble at birth. People have to rely on themselves to live a good life. Only those who can work hard are their own. Do you understand?"

Li Longji nodded, or what the uncle said was short and reasonable, and he understood.

Wang Bin was speechless, "You teach other people's sons to be smart, how about you teach your own son?"

Shen Sanwen beckoned, Xiaowen put down the prawn in his hand, and ran into Shen Sanwen's arms.

Shen San asked: "Xiao Wen, are you good in Uncle Wang's house?"

Xiaowen glanced at Wang Bin with a simple and honest expression, "Well, I'm so good, Uncle Wang, aren't I?"

Wang Bin: "."

Cui Xuan was also speechless for a while, be good, my sister, be good.

Xue Shao also set his eyes on Shen Xiaowen, "I heard that Xiaowen will be a general in the future?"

Shen Xiaowen nodded his head, "Well, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring person, Xiaowen will definitely be able to do it."

Xue Shao: "Which person did you choose to be Xiaowen's wife? A writer or a martial artist?"

Shen San asked: "I haven't chosen yet, but you just came, why don't we teach together?"

Wang Bin: "Your father is very unreliable. The two of them have different personalities and are not suitable for teaching together."

Shen Sanwen thought to himself, I really didn't mean that either.

Cui Xuan: "In Luoyang City, it is rare to find a scribe who dares to teach young master Shen."

Wang Bin: "Not bad."

Shen San asked: "You..."

Xue Shao raised his hand, "It's not as good as it is".

Cui Xuan and Wang Bin hurriedly took his hand off, for fear that if he was a good man, he would not be able to harm honest people.

To be honest, Shen Sanwen didn't even think about finding a teacher for him now, it would be bad if the teacher failed.

The enlightenment reading materials in the Tang Dynasty were Thousand Characters and Hundred Surnames, and then continued to recite all kinds of reading and reading. Although it is true that there is a lot more content than modern education and broadens the scope of knowledge, the ideas in the book are in Shen Sanwen. It seems that there are still many old and decayed places that are not recognized by Shen Sanwen.Now that his son is born, Shen Sanwen wants to teach it himself, or compile a set of teaching materials that can conform to the thinking of modern people and combine with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty.When he grows up, he will be sent to the barracks and handed over to Zhang Yang.

The eldest of these four people actually remembered the Hero Killer and Werewolf Killer they had played, and they started playing directly at the wine table, and it was time to look back at the time.Although they are still very young, they have experienced a lot of things, have grown up individually, and even matured a lot in their minds.

A group of young people reminisce about the past.

When the show was about to end, Shen Sanwen raised his wine glass, "I didn't expect that the four of us would be able to meet again in Luoyang one day. I hope that no matter the situation in the future, we will never forget our original intentions and brotherhood."

Wang Bin raised his glass to reconcile, "Everyone has their own way to go, and Wang Bin is deeply honored to be able to walk on the same road with the three of you. I would like to offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Cui Xuan also toasted and applauded, "I wish the three brothers a bright future and a healthy life."

Xue Shao just toasted, but there were tears in his eyes. Of the four, he was the only one who experienced the most pain, and only he truly felt the friendship between Yin and Yang, and the brotherhood when he was in poverty, so he choked up and said, "Xue Shao will never forget For the kindness of the brothers, when Xue Shao was in prison and in the place of exile, he was fortunate to be taken care of by the brothers, and he will repay this kindness in the future."

After a happy gathering ended, Shen Sanwen took his son home.Sending away the God of Plague, Wang Bin felt that he should celebrate twice more.

Not many days later, it happened that Lai Junchen checked Fan Yunxian and Wu Yizong framed Wudan's second concubine.Fan Yunxian was directly beaten to death, and the second concubine of the Wu family was found out that day, and was taken away and executed shortly after. Time was running out, and the two princesses were really powerless.Li Longji cried in tears in the mansion, but Wu Dan didn't dare to do anything.

Li Longji was asking the master, "Will mother come back? Isn't father the son of His Majesty? If father asks, he can bring mother back."

Xue Shao patted his head and comforted him, "Longji, don't blame your father, he can't help himself. There are many things that you will understand when you grow up."

Wu Zetian then called Li Longji into the palace to inquire about the dispute with Wu Yizong. The child's words are still very credible.

Li Longji admitted frankly, and said a lot, "Longji was wrong, Your Majesty, don't blame father. My father often taught me that the Li family today is the result of treating the world well and being treated well by the world. What Longji said that day was nothing more than If you are angry, you can't be more angry than Wu Yizong insulting your father."

This time the answer was quite decent, Wu Zetian not only did not blame him, but also praised him for his integrity, and gave him the false title of king of Linzi.

Although it is a prince with the surname Li who has not been sealed, there has been no prince with the surname Li in this world for a long time. To receive such praise from His Majesty is to give Li a face. Wu Dan's face is very bright.

Those who know about the changes in the harem are like a mirror, such as Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong.

Zhang Changzong didn't really enter the palace to be a plaything. Lai Junchen's decisive and brutal behavior, and Emperor Wu's act of killing his mother and becoming king also made him a little afraid.It's just his unwillingness to give up, which has always driven him to try and make progress.

People who are able to risk their lives in pursuit of great wealth and great wealth naturally have perseverance that ordinary people rarely have.

However, it is not easy to attract Emperor Wu's attention. It is not enough to rely on diligence, humility, and prudence. An opportunity is still needed to attract Emperor Wu's attention.

He decided to give it a go.

Life is a gamble, and if you make the right bet, you may not be able to win back everything you lost.

The frequency, timing, and location of meetings between Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi, all kinds of eyebrows, laughter, and Zhang Changzong, who has been in love for a long time, can naturally see it. If he can step on Shangguan Wan'er's position and alert His Majesty, he can replace Shangguan Wan'er status is also unknown.Zhang Changzong knew the purpose of Wu Sansi. Shangguan Wan'er had drafted edicts for Emperor Wu for a long time. With the help of Shangguan Wan'er, he could control many internal affairs of the court.

Shangguan Wan'er handles affairs on behalf of Emperor Wu, and always puts Emperor Wu's interests first, and firstly, deploys her own forces to protect those literati who can use it for herself, and thirdly, protects the interests of Wu Sansi.And there are some benefits that the Emperor Wu disdains to manage, and she disdains to fight for them, but Wu Sansi is willing.

For example, the position of Fangzhou county magistrate.

The current county magistrate of Fangzhou treats Li Xian badly, and he dare not treat Li Xian well. There is an order from the emperor to comply with the rules.The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, and Li Xian's wife had a bad temper, so he was naturally afraid of being hated.

After finally surviving until the expiration of his term of office, he can be promoted and transferred, and he can finally pack up and leave.

This job can be big or small, and Shangguan Wan'er can handle it without the Emperor Wu asking.Wu Sansi mentioned it a few times, hoping to make friends with the King of Luling. Since this is a beneficial opportunity, Shangguan Wan'er did not intend to miss it.

So she agreed to appoint Wu Sansi's cronies as the county magistrate.

　Eight thousand words, this chapter is a bit long
　　
　
(End of this chapter)
