Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 65 Clearing Obstacles 2
To be honest, Shen Sanwen looked down on powerful ministers like Pei Yan, who could even beg to abolish the emperor, so why pretend to be loyal ministers?During Gaozong's time, you have controlled the government for a long time, and your talent has been recognized. Now that there is a big boss, what are you dissatisfied with?
Dominating this position can't make better results, why not give up the opportunity to others?Instead, meddle in other people's family affairs?

A few days later, Empress Wu rewarded Pei Yan heavily in the name of the emperor, which greatly surprised some people.

After hearing the news of Pei Yan being rewarded, many people became optimistic.

But Pei Yan himself was not happy. He had worked with Empress Wu for many years and knew this woman well.

You have far-reaching plans. If you want to take something, you must give it first. This is to let yourself relax your vigilance, so that you can take it in one fell swoop. The more rewards, the more it means that your good days are coming to an end.

Pei Yan did not intend to sit still.

Empress Wu is in control of the forbidden army in the palace, and Pei Yan is no match, so he does everything possible to lure Empress Wu out of the palace.

Relying on his sharp tongue, coercion and temptation, he finally persuaded several generals who were loyal to Li Shi to join him.

The Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the most compact dynasty in the palace.

However, it was the first time for a courtier to kill the lord. Empress Wu did not claim the title of emperor for a day, and they were all from the monarch camp. This kind of behavior can be regarded as regicide.

Pei Yan made repeated invocations and invited Empress Wu to travel to Longmen.The scenery of Longmen is beautiful, and there is a section of the road that must be passed through which is dangerous. A few soldiers stand on the high ground, and they can shoot and kill the Wu family with the sharpness of bows and arrows.

After careful consideration, Wu Zetian decided to ease the relationship with Pei Yan and go to Longmen to pray to heaven.

Shen San asked that someone in the East Gate's confidant was an old friend of Pei Yan's subordinate, and came to report when they knew about the change in the soldiers.

This is a huge opportunity.

It was raining heavily, and Empress Wu resolutely went out.Shen Sanwen hurriedly entered the palace to stop him, "It's been raining for days now, and the dragon can blow the clouds and blow the wind and call the rain. This means that the heavens have received your sincere prayers, and it's not appropriate to go to Longmen to disturb you."

Pei Yan was also on the side, "The rain is just testing your sincerity. How can you respond if you haven't prayed yet?"

"The empress dowager has the world in her heart, and God must have felt it. Traveling in the rain is a waste of money, how can she follow the heart of heaven?"

"Since God has responded, it is even more important to fulfill the vow. Otherwise, how can God bless me in the coming year?"

Shen Sanwen and Pei Yan couldn't argue about God's will, and there was no evidence that Pei Yan was planning to harm Empress Wu.

In the end, the two knelt in the rain, almost fighting over whether to go to Longmen or not.

Empress Wu scolded, "It's just a trivial matter of traveling, and the two of you are arguing like this? How decent is it?"

Shen Sanwen could only hint, "Traveling is not good, and there may be bloodshed."

Knowing that the trick was seen through, Pei Yan felt a chill in his heart. Looking at Shen Sanwen was like watching the murder of his father and enemy.

This is a death feud.

Empress Wu understood, and also had doubts about Pei Yan's behavior during this period, so she went back to the palace immediately to be thoroughly investigated.

The result was nothing.

But judging from Pei Yan's constant persuasion to go out and the reaction of the son-in-law, there is a big problem with this trip.

This trouble made Wu Zetian even more unburdened.

She was a person who wanted to take power and couldn't let go of it.

Every time I read the history of Han Dynasty, I have to say one sentence, Lv Zhi, who has made great achievements through the ages, should be a model for women in the world.

Lu Pheasant was also called Zhizhi in the imperial court, and he is a figure in the book of Emperor Sima Qian.

Her desire to imitate is even stronger.

While disappointed with Pei Yan, his former confidant, he is even more disgusted with these courtiers who are loyal to Li Tangbiao. Time is not soft.

You don't even believe what you said, and you still try to interfere with her decision?
The heart of Empress Wu is well known in the world when the ancestors are crowned as kings.

There are still many local kings in the Li family who hold military power, and they are not willing to repeat the same thing as the king of the opposite sex in the Han Dynasty.

The British Duke Li Jingye rose up, and King Luo Bin wrote "A Call to Arms" to announce it to the world.Li Jingye's military art is like a god, and he captured the land of two counties in a few days.

This proclamation can be said to be well-written, catchy, and very vicious. It fabricated facts and attacked Empress Wu. The proclamation was passed to Chang'an on the first day, and Wu Ze couldn't eat because of the weather.

He is 60 years old, and he is still very angry. The ancients said that [-] is easy to hear, but it seems that he is just helpless with reality.

Wu Zetian created another kind of ears, and all thieves who don't agree with their ears should be killed.

"What do you think should be done about Li Jingye's rebellion?" Empress Wu asked the ministers for their opinions.

Shen Sanwen always pretended to be low-key, and after offending Pei Yan, he became more cautious and did not come forward to answer.

Wu Sansi immediately asked for an order to go out, "I am willing to lead the army to wipe out the rebels."

Chaozhong knew that Wu Sansi's name was too good to be true. If Wu Sansi went to suppress the bandits, he might never return.

Pei Yan was happy to see the success, and immediately agreed, "The Minister of the Ministry of War has been a general for a long time, and leading the army will surely defeat the bandits. Please allow Wu Sansi to lead the expedition."

Empress Wu looked at him coldly, "Not right."

Pei Yan immediately changed his words, "Li Jingye is only for King Qin, if the Empress Dowager returns to His Majesty, this crisis will be resolved without a fight."

Cui Cha roared at the moment, "Presumptuous, the thief is only for King Qin, why did he go down to many cities, increase the flames of war, and poison the people. If Li Jingye claims that King Qin obeys his wishes, the emperor will be abolished and the power of the court will fall into his hands. At that time, the general No country. I heard that Pei Yan's nephew is a general under Li Jingye, and I'm afraid he has colluded with the rebels for a long time. He has ulterior motives and intends to cooperate with the outside world.

Although Shen Sanwen had some issues with Cui Cha, he would never miss this opportunity to bring down Pei Yan. "Mr. Pei, a veteran of the three dynasties, entrusted his lonely and important ministers, intending to humiliate the king, all his wealth and honor, and his heart can be punished. The birth mother of the empress dowager, the emperor, was authorized by the first emperor to handle the military and state affairs. Li Jingye, but a thief with the surname Xu, Mr. Pei just wants to return the favor regardless of the facts. Government, without collusion with the rebels, I am afraid that I have no desire to serve the country."

The two sang together and pointed at Pei Yan's rebellion. The other important ministers were shocked, their lips were dead and their teeth were cold. If something happened to Pei Yan, they might be the next ones.Coming out one by one shows that Pei Yan is absolutely selfless and dedicated to the country.

If Pei Yan is convicted, Cui Cha's family will dominate from now on.But apart from Shen Sanwen, no one dared to join Cui Cha.

Empress Wu directly ordered Pei Yan to be imprisoned in the sky prison, investigated carefully, and called her confidants to discuss Li Jingye's matter.

A group of ex-officials went to visit Pei Yan in Tianlao. Everyone knew that Empress Wu had made up her mind, and Pei Yan should be in danger.

Pei Yan felt sad, and drank sake with his colleagues, "It's hard to see each other today, I have been an official in the same dynasty for decades, I hope everyone will take care of the youngest son in the family."

Everyone agrees.

Pei Yan sighed again, "If it wasn't for Consort Shen, I would have already eliminated the thieves in Longmen. Please remember to be careful of this treacherous villain. Now Empress Wu is conferring on the ancestral temple, not far from the title system. My poor emperor can only be subservient to others. .”

Everyone can only comfort him, maybe they can persuade Empress Wu to change his mind, or maybe Empress Wu sent him to prison just as a warning without any intention of punishment, and then quietly retreated.
