Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 944 Your Majesty is the King

After sending the letter through Luo Junwei, Wu Zhao received a beautiful jade from Luo Su within a few days. Although Luo Su didn't say a word, Wu Zhao knew that he was indeed on the right path.

“The key to politics is taking sides!”

This is the truth that Wu Zhao, who is in his twenties, has discovered.

After thinking that all the time was ready, Wu Zhao brazenly launched a fierce attack on the Queen's throne.

Of course, she is just a summoner now. Although she has the favor of the emperor, she still lacks effective means to deal with foreign dynasties, so she still has to start with the emperor Li Zhi.

And Wu Zhao had already chosen a track, which was to regain the imperial power for Emperor Li Zhi!

Since Changsun Wuji didn't want to return the throne, he just snatched it away.

Ever since the queen and the prince began to rely on Changsun Wuji to maintain their status, as long as Changsun Wuji fell, the queen would naturally lose power, and the new political forces would definitely peel off the skin of the queen and the prince.

At that point, you don’t even need to do anything on your own.

The difficulty in seizing power actually lies in the emperor's own thoughts.

Changsun Wuji is Shangshu Zuopushe, the de facto chief prime minister. He is also Li Zhi's uncle, a founding hero, the second in Lingyan Pavilion, and the minister appointed by the late emperor to Gu Ming. These titles are added to His head was like layers of halos, weighing Li Zhi out of breath. He had a weak character and was extremely afraid of Changsun Wuji.

After Luo Junzhuo left, Li Zhi pondered for a moment. He knew that Luo Junwei often went to Wu Zhao Palace. Thinking of this, he decided to look for Luo Junwei and wanted to hear whether his cousin had anything. What a noble idea.

But the final outcome was a huge failure. Changsun Wuji used a tough attitude to reject Li Zhi's idea of ​​making Wu Zhao his queen. When he left the Duke of Zhao's mansion, Li Zhi was extremely angry, but he I feel sad, but Wu Zhao...

Luo Junzhuo shook his head slightly. It didn't matter if he didn't say it. He just had to be careful and never do anything just because he knew the emperor since he was a child.

Li Zhi was a little distracted while playing chess, and said gloomily: "Zi Yang, why do you think it is so difficult for me, the emperor, to do what I do?

Has there ever been a king more aggrieved than me since ancient times?

I can't even appoint a woman I like as my queen, and I don't have the slightest say in the government. "

Luo Junwei has been in the center for these years and has a clear understanding of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Wuji and his party are indeed a bit too ostentatious. Things like the queen and the prime minister are related to the country's affairs. "

Be polite before fighting.

Princess, I told your majesty yesterday that Duke Yong will be promoted to Situ, and Duke Ying will also be promoted to Sikong. Duke Yong will be promoted to Minister of the Right Servant, and Duke Ying will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, to the third rank of Tong Zhongshu. "

Only Luo Xuanchen is a civil servant.

In terms of other identities, Luo Junzhuo is not afraid of Changsun Wuji, but Luo Xuanye is the first in Lingyan Pavilion, and Changsun Wuji is the second. At this point, Luo Junzhuo is very passive.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Zhi was playing chess with Luo Junzhuo. Luo Junzhuo had been promoted very quickly in recent years, but he was also a military attaché. As we all know, it is not easy to become a prime minister together with a military attache, and even after becoming a prime minister, it is basically It's the mascot.

But deep down in his heart, he knew that his relationship with the current emperor was not as good as that of his father and the late emperor, not even the slightest bit different.

She lost her father when she was young, and then she and her mother and sister were kicked out by the Wu family's uncles and brothers. She entered the palace and suffered a lot, and endured it for so many years before she was finally relieved. She had an extremely firm mind and was almost unfaithful to most people. There was never any awe.

Luo Junwei was stunned when he heard this. In today's Tang Dynasty, the prime ministers only have the three grades of ministers, ministers, servants, ministers, and ministers of Tongzhongshu.

Li Zhi was quite anxious, so he quickly arrived at Jiaolan Hall. When he arrived, Luo Junwei happened to be in the hall.

He immediately added three public titles to the two heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and at the same time truly paid homage to the prime minister, and then slowly and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, does he dare?"

Luo Junwei is the most outstanding person in politics among the descendants of the Luo family of this generation. When Luo Su sent her to the palace, she had the consideration of being the heroine of the world. Since it is a new era, naturally there is no woman from the Luo family. Not beautiful.

Wu Zhao waved his hand with a smile, his eyes were quite deep, and he didn't know where he was looking, "Don't worry, it's not the last moment yet, and there is no need for heavyweights like Yong Guogong to take action. What is needed now is some thugs. Changsun Wuji really Already in control of the court?

But Wu Zhao didn't think so.

Moreover, in these years, Changsun Wuji has been in control of the government. In the political affairs hall, it was his voice that really sent Luo Junzhuo there, but it was completely in vain.

An official office can be added to the palace. From this, it can be seen that Wu Zhao's current power has actually exceeded that of the queen.

Does he dare to resist Zhao Guogong?

Since Luo's return to the south, the trend has been stronger for men to take charge of the army and women to take charge of politics.

"My cousin said that?"

I don’t think so. There must be many people who are dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji. Are there any of these people who have outstanding abilities and can be used by me and your majesty? "

Although there is no danger of life and death due to Luo's huge connections, being demoted is still inevitable. You must know that Luo Xuanchen was also dismissed from the prime minister twice. In this political field, it is difficult for the emperor to be deposed alone. .

Among the current Luo family, he is indeed the closest to the emperor. He is also married to Princess Jinyang, who is Li Zhi's most beloved sister. After several visits to the Tang Dynasty, no official has a better relationship with Li Zhi. He is closer.

Li Zhi was a little surprised, but then he felt it was reasonable. Li Zhi knew his cousin quite well.

Luo Junzhuo thoughtfully said, "Your Majesty, Chen's sister once said this. She said that His Majesty's power is actually very great, but he just doesn't use it. But my sister only mentioned it slightly, and I also said No questions asked."

After all, he has not experienced the duties of the Six Ministries, nor has he experienced the training of civil servants such as Hongwen Hall and Jixian Hall, nor has he served in local government affairs, so it is difficult to make the right choice for government affairs.

This is due to the consideration of maintaining Wu Xun. For the Luo family, on the one hand, talent is too much needed on the literary side, while on the other hand, martial arts, it has relatively more advantages. When it comes to table-turning fights, the prime minister wields even more influence.

In the palace, Wu Zhao was happily telling Luo Junwei about this matter. She was not angry because of Changsun Wuji's objection, but it played into her own hands.

When he was still young, Luo Junwei often went to the palace, even more frequently than now, and would often help take care of their children.

Luo Junzhuo left the Tai Chi Hall and turned around a corridor, his expression hardened instantly. As a close minister of Li Zhi, in the eyes of many people, he was the second Zhou Jun Wang Luo Xuanye, but Luo Junzhuo himself knew It's not like this.

"Changsun Wuji is too arrogant, and His Majesty is very angry. Anger is a good emotion. Only when people are angry, they will do many things that they usually dare not do.

At this moment, Luo Junwei was relieved of her position as a female historian, and took up another position as a female official, the Qingjiaoyuan Jijiu. This was a female official who was appointed by Wu Zhao in the palace to teach the princes and princesses etiquette.

As for why...

Wu Zhao decided to give Changsun Wuji a chance to show weakness first. This matter fit Li Zhi's idea. He did not have the courage to go against Changsun Wuji at all, so he decided to discuss with Changsun Wuji. In the past years, , everyone is used to this way of getting along.

……

……

Starting from Zhou Jun Wang Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanxing, Luo Xuanling and Luo Xuanyun, and later Luo Juncheng, Luo Junjun, Luo Junlie and Luo Junzhuo were all military generals.

Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Changsun Wuji has angered His Majesty. His Majesty felt that he was entangled in layers of cobwebs, and it was almost difficult to breathe. He struggled hard to break free from this layer of cobwebs that were controlled by Changsun Wuji and his accomplices. Weaving webs, and Duke Yong and Duke Ying are the sharp blades that can cut through the cobwebs.”

After Wu Zhao welcomed Li Zhi in, Li Zhi asked his doubts directly without making any more detours, hoping that Luo Junwei could answer his questions.

Luo Junwei didn't expect that Li Zhi asked this question. She only pondered for a moment before speaking decisively, "Your Majesty, I have a question, do you think the Taiwei poses any threat to your throne?"

Li Zhi laughed out loud and said: "Of course not. He is just a civil servant. The ones who hold the military power are Sikong and Situ, huh?"

Li Zhi came to his senses. After all, his throne needed the support of the army to be stable. Even if Changsun Wuji was arrogant and had no military power, what big waves could he cause?

Wu Zhao was more talented than Li Zhi in this area. In addition, Luo Junwei had hinted at her a lot before, and she realized something deeper almost immediately.

Changsun Wuji's power is indeed very strong. His level of power as a prime minister is extremely rare from ancient times to the present, but in essence, it is still the power of a prime minister!

What is phase power?

Starting from the system of three provinces and six ministries, this was transferred by Li Shimin on his own initiative, allowing the prime minister to check and balance the king. In other words, the power of the prime minister was a transfer of the imperial power, and this power could be taken back at any time as long as the imperial power was willing.

Unless Xiang Quan can complete the upgrade.

For example, the power of the prime minister becomes the power of the regent, or the power of the prime minister is completely suppressed on the imperial power. No matter which one it is, it is actually just one thing, and that is to have the power to depose and establish the emperor. Only with this power in hand can we In the struggle with the imperial power, he gained the upper hand and finally won.

In other words, whoever has the power to depose the other party will be the ultimate winner.

This is the fundamental nature of political struggle!

Does Changsun Wuji have the ability to depose Li Zhi?

Absolutely not!

He never thought about deposing Li Zhi. From deep down, Changsun Wuji was a loyal minister, but his thoughts were different from Li Zhi's.

The most famous incident in history where a prince change was rejected was in the early Han Dynasty. Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty wanted to change the prince, but was beaten back by Luo and Lu with the founding heroes, and finally gave up the idea.

That is typical of the fact that the emperor was completely unable to intervene in this matter. Almost all ministers were opposed, including all Liu Bang's close ministers, and Luo Lu was too powerful, so powerful that even Liu Bang was desperate.

And what about Changsun Wuji now?

He didn't even have any allies in the army. With just his own strength, he overestimated his capabilities and wanted to confront the emperor.

Luo Xuanling didn't want to have anything to do with Changsun Wuji at all. That's why Changsun Wuji was too outrageous. His power came from Li Zhi. It was because Li Zhi was young and ignorant at the time, so he temporarily handed over the power to him. He was asked to manage it on his behalf, but Changsun Wuji actually felt that Li Zhi couldn't take back this power.

Using the emperor's power to suppress the emperor, Changsun Wuji really didn't know how he died.

With just one sentence, the light in Wu Zhao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then she felt Luo Junwei gently pinch her plump thigh. She turned her face slightly and saw Luo Junwei shaking his head gently. , motioning her not to talk too much, Wu Zhao winced and nodded slowly.

Li Zhi had come back to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face, "My cousin is really talented as a royal assistant, and she is from a famous Luo family. What I just said is really a revelation to me.

Since my throne cannot be deposed by Zhao Guogong, then I can fight with Zhao Guogong bit by bit. Even if I fail, there are countless opportunities to make a comeback, but Zhao Guogong cannot afford to lose. As long as he has one chance, he will be defeated. A complete failure. "

Wu Zhao did not say what she had just thought of, but said with a slightly stern look: "Your Majesty, not only that, you are the real king. It is up to you to make the decision whether you promote or demote."

yes. Li Zhi also had a stern look in his eyes. This is the king. He is almost born to be invincible. As long as the court is not monolithic, he can always find those who want to be in power and attack Changsun Wuji again and again. .

but.

At the thought of launching an attack on Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi hesitated again. Wu Zhao, who knew Li Zhi well, saw this and said directly: "Your Majesty, are you willing to do this all your life?

That's your stuff to begin with. Is there anything worth hesitating about taking back your own stuff?

I don’t think so, how many years has it been since you were crowned?

At that time, all the regents of the Luo family chose to return to power after being crowned by the Emperor of Zhou and the Emperor of Han. But now Changsun Wuji is just a minister who cares about life, but he has stolen the power and is unwilling to return it to His Majesty. He is deeply troubled by his concubine. I feel sad for Your Majesty! "

Li Zhi's character is a bit dark, but Wu Zhao is not. Once she decides on something, she must do it. If she wants to turn her back, she will have to hit her head and get bloody.

No matter how weak Li Zhi is, a king's obsession with power is extremely deep. Among the Luo clan, King Zhou Yi and Emperor Hui of Han have always had a very high opinion. Even most monarchs, even if they know that they have no power, Although he has no ability, he will still cling to power. As for what the world will become, that is not what he cares about.

Now hearing Wu Zhao's words, all the resentment in Li Zhi's heart towards Changsun Wuji was aroused. He thought of the countless times he wanted to do something, but was beaten back by Changsun Wuji. He thought of himself as a The supreme emperor was ignored by his subjects in the empire.

Although the Yonghui rule was named after him, everyone knew that it was Changsun Wuji's political achievements.

Li Zhi said slowly: "In these years, the Taiwei has controlled the government and reprimanded those ministers who disobeyed him. As a result, the government is now full of his accomplices. In the political hall, he can almost make decisions with just one word. I Deeply ashamed of it.

Are there no other ministers in the world?

I remember that there were many ministers who were praised by the late emperor during the Zhenguan Dynasty. However, when I succeeded to the throne, these people were dismissed by Taiwei and Chu Suiliang.

It is hateful that the same party opposes those who are different! "

If you want to launch an attack on Changsun Wuji, you must organize a strong political team, at least in the court, you must not have someone to speak for you.

As the emperor, if he directly confronts Changsun Wuji with all kinds of unreasonable attitudes and uses methods that go beyond political rules, Duke Yong Guo will not support him, but this is not the case for others.

It’s time to send the strongest signal possible.

Let everyone in the world know that I want to replace the queen and make Wu Zhao the queen. I will see if there is anyone in the court who can speak for me.

Is there any?

Of course!

And there are really quite a lot of them. In the political arena, there has never been a shortage of speculators or people who take risks to gain positions. Although history has proven that these people did not end well in the end. How did they get their status in the first place? How to lose.

But most people still flock to it, thinking that they will be the special one, and that they will always be on the winning side.

A smart man like Changsun Wuji also fell into arrogance.

……

The reason why the emperor wants to change the queen is that among the seven, Wu Zhao has no sons, and Wu Zhao has more than one son, who is capable of giving birth, and is very capable of giving birth. At this time, he took advantage of everything.

But the ministers are also adamant. The queen is childless now, but it does not mean that she will not have children in the future. Although childlessness is a sin of seven births, the queen is only in her twenties. How do you know that the queen will not be able to have children in the future, and you, the emperor, do not have children? If you sleep with the queen, it will be a real problem if the queen is really pregnant.

The most important thing is, "The dynasty already has a prince. Even though the queen does not have a biological son, in terms of etiquette, she already has her eldest son. Your Majesty no longer has to worry about this."

This sentence really pissed off Li Zhi.

The prince was forced to stand in the first place, and now he is still using this incident to provoke him. Li Zhi walked away angrily, and the ministers also dispersed unhappy.

For several years in Yonghui, the clear sky seemed to be filled with dark clouds.

Many people are paying attention to this matter. There seems to be such a fierce battle between the emperor and the prime minister suddenly. While many people are shocked, there are also many people who hope to find some opportunities from it.

Duke Yong's Mansion.

The Luo family has actually participated in this war. Both Luo Junwei and Luo Junzhuo have actually joined the camp of Li Zhi and Wu Zhao.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Changsun Wuji is not reliable, and this matter is indeed Changsun Wuji's fault. He used the emperor's power to shut up the emperor. King Luo Wen was not so arrogant.

As for changing the queen for no reason, and after the queen is replaced, the prince must also be replaced. Logically speaking, this should not be done.

But what the queen represents behind her back, and the attitude she shows in her daily life, is original sin. She is a member who hinders the great cause, and does not know how to actively avoid suspicion, so she can only declare war.

Moreover, Luo Shi has always been able to easily survive political battles. There is another very important reason, that is, Luo Shi is really clean and has the ability to prove his cleanliness.

In political struggles, in order to kill political opponents, false accusations often occur, or an issue that is not a big deal in ordinary times is often used to kill people.

And Luo's.

Thanks to his extremely strict upbringing and his daily prudence, he rarely does anything that would cause him to be knocked down.

Secondly, there is the matter of frame-up. So far, no one who framed Luo Shi has survived to see the sun the next day. Even when the censor impeached him, no one would get wind of it. After all, Luo Shi is very concerned about his reputation. It's important. If you frame it without real evidence, the consequences will not be good.

In this political field, almost no one is innocent. As long as you look for problems, few people will be wronged. This gives Li Zhi and Wu Zhao an opportunity.

Luo Xuanling, who is currently the most popular person in the Luo family, has not really expressed his stance. Only Wu Zhao knows that at the critical moment, Luo Xuanling will stand on her side and give Changsun Wuji a fatal blow.

Luo Xuanling quietly waited for the final outcome. Changsun Wuji had indeed become a little drifting in recent years. I heard that he even asked others who had higher status and lower status between the Changsun family and the Luo family.

After learning about this, Luo Xuanling sneered and felt that Changsun Wuji really had a right to die.

What is your Changsun family? Not to mention the long history and useless things like bloodline.

Just tell me what my Luo family's reputation is in the world and how much I have contributed to Zhu Xia. Are you on the same level as me?

No matter where I, Luo Shi, go, even in the Western Regions, Liaodong, or the grasslands, as soon as I show my stigmata, I will be in a high position. What do you, the eldest grandson, have that can compare with me, Luo Shi?

It's really crazy.

It has always been Changsun Wuji who has been rejecting dissidents. In the outer court, Li Zhi, who has no tentacles, can only watch passively. But now he has gathered a large number of ministers to charge for him.

Most of these ministers were people who could hardly gain benefits in the order dominated by Changsun Wuji. These people's eyes were red, they were gearing up, and launched a desperate charge towards Changsun Wuji. They were bound to have a showdown with Changsun Wuji.

The winner will receive all glory, power and status, while the loser will sadly leave the center of the world, Chang'an.

Li Zhi, instigated by Wu Zhao, took action against the generals of Changsun Wuji Group. Chu Suiliang sadly left Chang'an on a bleak autumn morning. He was demoted to Hongzhou, and his carriage had just arrived. In Luoyang, officials from Chang'an issued a new order to him, which was to demote him to Guangzhou.

That is the real Lingnan land, full of miasma. It is also a place where people are quite familiar with the establishment of the six kingdoms. I wonder which sect king will be granted the title there in the future.

When Chu Suiliang got the news, he was extremely devastated. Until now, he still doesn't understand why the emperor suddenly became tough and why these edicts can actually be issued.

The system of the three provinces could not really refute the emperor's edict. Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang suddenly felt a sense of fear.

He felt that this time he was demoted, which seemed to be different from the last time. The last time he was demoted to Qinzhou, right next to Chang'an in Guanzhong, it had nothing to do with being demoted. It was just like a vacation.

But this time, he couldn't even be called demoted, just like being exiled.

He looked back at Chang'an City and seemed to see Changsun Wuji, the leader of the faction. He felt deeply chilled. What does the emperor's attitude mean?

Chu Suiliang didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

The demotion of a prime minister was an extreme shock to the court, especially to Changsun Wuji, who felt chilled in his heart.

Because according to common sense, it is impossible for Chu Suiliang to be demoted, but the reason why it happened was because the British Duke Li Ji and Yong Guo Gong Luo Xuanling talked. Li Zhi caught Chu Suiliang's corruption and sent Chu Suiliang to justice. denounce.

Regarding the matter of establishing Wu Zhao as the queen, Changsun Wuji originally thought that at least Luo Xuanling would be on his side, but he did not expect that Luo Xuanling said, "The queen has no children and takes the prince as her son, but for the country I mean, this is a hidden danger after all.

Although the etiquette and laws are strict, since ancient times, there have been many major events that cannot but be considered by people's hearts. "

He is not his biological son. This is a big problem.

When Luo Xuanling said these words, Changsun Wuji and everyone were confused. If he is his son in terms of etiquette and law, why does it have to be the same in terms of blood?

Isn't this etiquette formulated by your ancestors of the Luo family?

If Luo Xuanling knew, he would definitely tell him that these things were formulated more than a thousand years ago. Can they be the same at that time as they are now?

The relationship has been ruined for so many years, and even if we clean up the past, it is impossible to completely reunite.

Can biological and non-biological people be the same?

The relationship between the emperor and the queen is bad, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is bad, the prince has no maternal family, and the queen is not smart.

This thing is a big deal at first glance. Your eldest grandson Wuji has nothing to do to support such a queen and prince. I, Luo, will not go crazy like you.

Changsun Wuji, who had always stood up to the emperor, wanted to retreat the moment he felt Luo Xuanling's stance. This time he really wanted to leave, because he knew that Wu Zhao had become the queen. It's a sure thing.

If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave.

It's okay to deal with the Emperor or Luo Shi alone, but to deal with both at the same time, Changsun Wuji is not that stupid, but when things have come to this, some people don't want him to leave.

That is Li Zhi and Wu Zhao!

In the past few years, Li Zhi had suffered so much anger. He had no gratitude towards Changsun Wuji, only resentment, so he wanted to get all that anger back from Changsun Wuji!
