A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 379

The hall was silent.

As soon as this sentence came out, it caused too many associations.

Three generations of emperors, Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty, and the heroine Chang.

At this time, in the palace, there happened to be a 20-year-old Yi Guogong whose surname was Wu, who sealed [-] households.

Melon field plums.

The yellow mud fell off the crotch, I can't tell.

Li Shimin's eyes also scanned Wu Huaiyu several times, but fortunately Li Shimin was still very young at this time, and he didn't fully believe it.

Although the 30-year-old emperor is superstitious about prophecy, he even believes in those physiognomy masters, martial arts, divination and fortune-telling Taoists. He used to command troops to fight abroad. When he heard of such high-level people, he would definitely pay a visit in a low-level suit. , By the way, take a look at the face, feel the bone, look at the gas or something.

In the ninth year of Wude Taishi Ling Fu Yi's sentence is too white to see Qin's point, Qin Wang should have the world's celestial interpretation, isn't it also a fact now?

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

After all, the imperial courts of all dynasties had special Taishi Bureau or Qintianjian, Sitiantai and other institutions to be in charge of watching the stars and qi.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Li Shimin looked away from Wu Huaiyu and asked Li Chunfeng directly.Wu Huaiyu is too young, and she doesn't look threatening at all. Of course, the most important thing is that there are three characters of heroine Chang in that prophecy.

Wu Huaiyu is not a woman.

"The minister looks up at the sky, looks down at the calendar, compares the secret records, and interprets this sentence."

Li Shimin's face was already very ugly, "Be more specific."

"According to my calculations based on the hexagrams, this kind of sign has already appeared. After the throne of the Li family has been passed on for three generations, there will be a female lead of the Wu family who will rule the world."

Li Shimin felt very ridiculous.

Because since ancient times, there has never been a queen.

In history, there have been many authoritarian empress dowagers and empresses. For example, Empress Lu of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, and Dou, the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, were all very famous behind the curtain.

But Li Chunfeng meant that after three generations, a woman surnamed Wu would appear in this Tang Dynasty to replace Li Tang as the emperor, which is too absurd.

Li Shimin would be more convinced that Wu Huaiyu would usurp the throne and become emperor directly.

"After three generations."

Li Shimin murmured, he is now the second emperor of Li Tang, the third generation, isn't he the successor of the crown prince?He was only 30 years old. If he was the emperor for another 30 years and passed the throne to Chengqian, Chengqian would only be 40 years old. Chengqian could still be the emperor for at least 20 years.

That is, 50 years later, the Wu family will rule the world.

Li Shimin calculated silently in his heart.

There is no one surnamed Wu in his palace, and Chengqian is only ten years old, and he has not married a wife or concubine, so there must be no one surnamed Wu.

Could it be that in the future Chengqian will marry a man surnamed Wu, and then be deprived of the throne, just like Empress Lu, but Empress Lu has no intention of proclaiming the emperor, and still establishes the Liu family as emperor.

The more I think about it, the more something is wrong.

"Are you sure that after three generations, Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty, and the heroine Chang, it is the woman surnamed Wu who will win the world?"

"The hexagrams are shown in this way, combined with the result of Taibai Jinxing's celestial phenomena, and the minister compares the secret records."

Secret note, this is a very mysterious book. It is said to be the treasure of Jingyun Temple. I don’t know when it was handed down. There are many hexagrams and predictions in this book, and there are many prophecies Prophecy.

Some say it was written by Ge Hong, and some say it was edited by the celestial master Zhang Daoling, but many major events since the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be covered in this secret book.

Even Li Yuanjian, Tang Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin, King of Qin should have the world, etc., which can now be corresponded in the secret book, although the prophecies in this secret book are all vague, general, and broad.

If it is something that has not happened, it may be difficult to interpret, but if it has already happened, if you compare the secret notes, you will find that many of them are correct.

Li Chunfeng said that this interpretation not only fits the hexagrams, but also the Taibaijin celestial phenomena, and can even predict the prophecies of the secret records.

Of course, the three generations of the emperor, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty, and the heroine Chang, these eleven characters are actually the prophecy in the secret record.

That's the exact words.

But the secret record does not say whether it will happen in the Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty or Tang Dynasty, or what time it is. Li Chunfeng deduces what will happen based on the stars and hexagrams, and it should be listed in the eleven characters of the secret record.

As for further information, Li Chunfeng did not dare to say whether there will be a female emperor after three generations, or a queen mother and queen who will listen to politics behind the curtain, but he guesses that it is more likely to be the queen.

As Li Chunfeng said, he took out the secret record and dedicated it to the emperor, and turned to that page.

There was a very mysterious and difficult picture on that page, and these eleven words were matched with it.

Wu Huaiyu also read it, and felt that the picture and the eleven characters could be interpreted in many ways, even whatever way he wanted. This book reminded him of the famous Tuibei picture in later generations.

It is said that Tui Bei Tu is a mysterious masterpiece written by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, but later researches all say that the Tui Bei Tu that has been circulated is a fake work that has been constantly revised by later generations. It is a compilation of things that have happened in the past into these pictures and stories. , deliberately leaving some hidden clues, the essence is to tell the story of the past, not to truly predict the future.

This thing is a bit like Ma Jing. Before the lottery, you can't understand anything if you look left and right, but after the lottery, you can check it one by one.

In fact, any number that is drawn randomly can be deciphered with the diagram of Ma Jing.

But now it was Li Chunfeng who took out the secret, and Li Shimin had to seriously consider it.

The secret record is not secret, because as early as the Sui Dynasty, it began to flow out among the people, and many people knew about it, and even copied it. The emperor could not doubt the authenticity of the secret record.

But still that sentence, just based on an ambiguous picture and a sentence without beginning and end, this thing can indeed have many interpretations.

However, the emperor passed on three generations, including Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty. Among them, the four characters of Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty touched Li Shimin's nerves very much.

Wu Huaiyu cursed Li Chunfeng [-] times in his heart, and in front of him he insisted on saying Wu Dai Li Xing. Isn't this cursing the bald donkey in front of the monk?
Seeing that the atmosphere is getting more and more dignified.

Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to retreat, and he knelt down to the emperor to resign.

"Chen Wu Huaiyu was born at a young age, thanks to His Majesty's kindness, Fang You is now 20 years old and has sealed [-] households, a purple robe with gold talismans and jade belts, now Dr. Li's divination and stargazing compares secret records, and I am deeply terrified when I come to this prophecy.

I am deeply grateful for your majesty's kindness and loyalty to your majesty, but now I would like to resign to avoid suspicion. "

Li Shimin was a little moved by Wu Huaiyu's words.

Although the words Li Xing in Wu Dynasty are so obvious, the emperor did not expect Wu Huaiyu to go up on his head. 50 years later, Wu Huaiyu will be 70 years old, and it is impossible to replace Tang.

What's more, the secret note also clearly stated that it was the heroine Chang.

The emperor asked Li Chunfeng to interpret it more carefully, and the interpretation was more detailed.

But Li Chunfeng can only come to this conclusion, as for deducing more detailed and accurate information from this sentence in the secret record, he is still powerless for the time being.

"A clearer astronomical sign is needed before the deduction can continue."

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with this answer.

The angry emperor decided to kill several people.

Li Chunfeng's book boy leaked the secret memorial to report to the emperor, and it was a death penalty, and Li Chunfeng's maidservant colluded with the witch, leaked the secret memorial, and was sentenced to death.

Yuan's temptress, beheaded.

Yang Zuan, the county magistrate of Chang'an, was incompetent and disloyal, so he decided to kill him.

Li Chunfeng, a doctor of calendar, leaked the secret performance, and had no way to control him, so he was beheaded.

As soon as the word "cut" came out, Li Chunfeng was stunned.

Originally quite otherworldly, standing in the hall has been calm and breezy, very expert instructing the world to deduce the temperament of heaven, who knows that the emperor will kill him.

He froze there for a long time unable to say a word.

In fact, although Li Chunfeng voted for Li Shimin eight years ago, from the sixth-rank official to the eighth-rank official, he knows that he is not appreciated by Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, although Dr. Li is not strict with His Majesty, but the bookboy leaked the secret melody, it was only his inadvertent mistake, and the crime should not be punished. Please forgive me."

Although Wu Huaiyu doubted that Li Chunfeng was taking advantage of someone else to attack him, but there was no evidence, and he didn't think Li Chunfeng would do it.

Seeing that the emperor wanted to kill Li Chunfeng, he still persuaded him.

It's not that he thinks Li Chunfeng is so innocent, but he thinks that if there is really an inside story about this matter, then Li Chunfeng is the key.

The person who tied the bell had to be untied. If Li Chunfeng died in such a muddle-headed manner, then Wu Huaiyu might never know who stabbed the possible dark sword.

Li Chunfeng knelt down and pleaded guilty.

After all, he is still young. 25-year-old Li Chunfeng has a mother, wife, concubine and children at home.

Wu Huaiyu tried hard to persuade.

In the end, Li Shimin's anger subsided a little, and he put Li Chunfeng under house arrest in the Taishi Bureau, and asked him to continue to interpret the secret prophecy and observe the Taibaijin star, but he was not allowed to go home, and he was dismissed from his post, and the official rank was downgraded from the ninth rank to the general. Shiro.

"Forty sticks!"

Li Chunfeng was pushed out by the guards.

It is estimated that he may regret at this moment that he wants to watch astrology and divination indiscriminately. You will be your doctor of calendar, teach calendar students well, and assist in the research of calendar and compilation of almanacs.

"Your Majesty, although Chang'an ordered Yang Zuan to handle the case ineffectively, there is indeed insufficient evidence in his hands. This is just a misjudgment of the case, not a major crime. If it is pursued according to the imperial court system, it is not a major matter. Please calm down."

Li Shimin was still angry and insisted on executing Yang Zuan.

He patted Wu Huaiyu on the shoulder, "Don't persuade me about this matter,"

"You just took office in Yongzhou, and you were able to correct the case of Yuan's rumors and misleading people. It's very good. Don't take Li Chunfeng's divination guesses to heart. I have no doubts about you. You go back and do your job well. , Yongzhou is special, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Huaiyu was comforted by the emperor, and was rewarded with a pair of silver bottles when he left.

But when he went to court the next day, the emperor made an order.

Considering that Yuanchang, the herdsman of Yongzhou, was young, and the affairs of Yongzhou were presided over by Biejia Wu Huaiyu, and the affairs were heavy, so the emperor removed Wu Huaiyu from the part-time posts of the left-leading general, the owner of the Chongxian Hall, the prince's right guard rate, and the minister of punishment.

He is still a bachelor of Chongxian Hall, who serves as a Biejia in Yongzhou, and also serves as a prince washing horse.

This decree was read out in the hall, causing many people to secretly speculate.

The emperor announced that Chang'an ordered Yang Zuan to be executed.

Wen Yanbo, the official censor, resolutely opposed it, Yan Sigu, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, also opposed it, Linghu Defen, the secretary and young supervisor, and of course Yang Shidao, the minister of the Ministry of officials, also stood up to oppose it.

The four ministers who stood up against the execution of Yang Zuan, Yan Sigu and Linghu Defen were actually good friends with Yang Zuan in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Shidao and Yang Zuan belonged to the Hongnong Yang family, although they were not Fang, that is also of the same family, there is nothing to avoid suspicion at this time, saving people is the most important thing.

They stood up one after another to defend.

However, it was Wen Yanbo who finally persuaded the emperor. Wen Yanbo was the official censor, the assistant minister of the Zhongshu Provincial Affairs Office, and the prime minister who participated in political affairs.

He was also in charge of Yushitai, and he argued hard, citing the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the emperor had no reason to kill a minister of the fifth rank just because he misjudged a case.

Wen Yanbo even showed Yang Zuan's political achievements over the years after he returned to the Tang Dynasty. From the servant Yushi to the meritorious service examiner Wailang, to the county magistrate of Chang'an, he performed well in every position, and the assessment and evaluation were all top-notch. .

In the end, it is concluded that Yang Zuan is not only innocent, but also meritorious. Normally, Yang Zuan will be promoted when his term ends this year.

At this time, the prime ministers Wei Zheng and Wang Gui also stood up to support Wen Yanbo.

In the end, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also felt that Yang Zuan just made a small mistake this time.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and finally admitted his mistake unexpectedly.

"Since all the ministers say that Yang Zuan is innocent, then I will change my will."

"Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials according to the original arrangement,"

As soon as this decree came out, the ministers couldn't understand it again. Just now they shouted and shouted, but now how many levels have they been promoted?

The county magistrate of Chang'an is at the top of the fifth rank, and there are two servants in the official department, both of whom are at the top of the fourth rank. Doesn't this mean that they will be promoted to four ranks?Is there such a good thing?
"Wei Siqi, the secretary of Yongzhou, joined the army, and the chief inspector, An County Magistrate."

This appointment is even more astonishing. Wei Siqi originally joined the army as a Yongzhou recorder at the seventh rank, so he was directly promoted to the fifth rank and became the county magistrate of Chang'an?Even if the word "censorship" is added, it must only be a transition and then become a regular.

This is an eight-level promotion?

It seems that the concubine Wei Zhaoyi in the palace is really a holy family.

In contrast, today Wu Huaiyu was dismissed from the four part-time jobs of the general of the left leader, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, the right guard of the prince, and the owner of the Chongxian Hall, and they were all very important part-time jobs.

What happened in the middle, why such a big change suddenly, some officials were at a loss, and always felt that they missed something big.

Wu Huaiyu stood in the hall, very calm.

After the prophecy appeared, he only removed four part-time jobs, and still retained the three jobs of Yongzhou Biejia, Prince Xima and Xingxiansi Langzhong, which is already quite good.

Li Chunfeng still only retains a general Shilang from the ninth rank, and he is under house arrest in the Taishi Bureau to calculate astrology and divination by throwing turtle shells and looking at the stars.

Just when he thought today's court meeting was coming to an end, Zhang Anan handed over a decree to the officer on duty, Sheren.

The Duke of Wuchang, General Zuowuwei, and Li Junxian, who was stationed at Xuanwu Gate, were transferred to the governor of Huazhou and changed to the Duke of Guangping. His feudal city was also changed from Wu'an County to Handan County.

General Zuo Wuwei was changed to governor of Huazhou. To put it bluntly, this should be a promotion.

After all, the last governor of Huazhou was Chai Shao, but Huazhou guarded the east gate of the capital, and Tongguan was in Huazhou.

But Wu Huaiyu's heart was shocked after hearing this.

He remembered that Li Junxian was nicknamed the fifth lady, this is Qin Qiong's old buddy, from Wu'an, Mingzhou, Hebei, and also the son of a general, his father was an official in Sizhou during the Sui Dynasty.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Junxian, like Qin Qiong, was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, and later went to Wagang. Later, after Li Mi's defeat, he belonged to Wang Shichong with Qin Qiong, but later he disdained Wang Shichong as a person, and Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin and the others Together, they abandoned Wang Shichong and voted for the Tang Dynasty.

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he has been under Li Shimin's command and participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change. When the Turkic soldiers approached the Weishui River, he also acted as the deputy general of Yuchi Gong and attacked and defeated the enemy in the north of Weishui.

The official position was also promoted all the way to General Zuo Wuwei, and the title was from Wulian County Son to Wulian County Duke, and not long ago he was promoted to Wuchang County Duke who was granted two thousand households.

He is also a military upstart.

Others thought Li Junxian was promoted again.

Only Wu Huaiyu knows that Li Shimin is probably suspicious now, and Li Junxian just happened to catch up. General Zuo Wuwei, Duke of Wuchang, and his hometown of Wu'an, the township is also Wu'an, and now he is still stationed at Xuanwu Gate.
It happened to be nicknamed Fifth Lady.

Li Shimin just couldn't figure out who the heroine of Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty was Chang. Who is this heroine of the Wu family? You, Li Junxian, are nicknamed Wu Niangzi.

Although it may not be Li Junxian, after all, Li Junxian is older than Li Shimin, and he will probably be gone in 50 years, but since he has doubts and suspicions, the emperor is definitely not at ease to keep him in Chang'an, especially the Xuanwu Gate. local.

This time, the transfer of the Huazhou governor is probably just to transfer people out first, and the Huazhou governor will probably be there soon.

Maybe, fifth lady Li Junxian is now on Li Shimin's blacklist, and may be killed for a reason at any time.

After all, in history, Li Junxian was unjustly killed by Li Shimin on the charge of deceiving the emperor and oppressing the people for this reason.

Li Junxian's face was full of excitement, and he went out of the class to kneel down and thank you for his gratitude, even a little bit smug.
