People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1411 The emperor granted Zen status and the world suffered a great disaster

The wind is slightly cold and the footsteps are soft.

Among the pavilions and corridors, Li Xuan walked casually.

After a long time, he stopped, looked at the bright moon above his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty has arrived in Luoyang."

Yu Ze followed Li Xuan and replied in a low voice: "Two years. Your Majesty will stay in Luoyang for two years this time. It is too long."

"This means that the prince's prison time will also be two years." Li Xuan lowered her eyes and tried her best to suppress the flash in her eyes.

"Yes, in two years, who knows what will happen in two years, what if..." When Yu Ze said this, it was already difficult to go on.

"According to the news from the court, His Majesty's health is improving." Li Xuan shook his head slightly.

"Really?" Yu Ze looked up at Li Xuan with direct eyes.

Li Xuan lowered his head and was silent for a long time before telling the truth: "The reason why His Majesty's health is getting better is because in summer, the climate is warm and the body is active, so there is no problem in surviving this summer. But after all, his body has been severely damaged and there is no need for it at all." Knowing how weak we are, once the cold wind comes again, it’s hard to say how long we can last.”

"That is to say, even if His Majesty can survive this winter, he will not be able to survive next winter." At this point, Yu Ze raised his head and stared at Li Xuan and said, "In other words, the Crown Prince is now It is already the de facto supreme.”

Yu Ze said the word "Supreme" very boldly, but there were only two people here, Li Xuan and him, so it didn't hurt to be bolder.

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "Yes, when Your Majesty goes to Luoyang, he will lose the most comprehensive control over the government. All he can keep an eye on are some key positions... Yes, from now on, Your Majesty will no longer be in control of the government." There is no ability to grasp the overall situation again.”

What's more, Li Zhi himself hasn't discovered this until now.

Maybe he thought he could return to Chang'an safely, but he never thought about what if he couldn't make it this time.

Not to mention next year, this year, once the cold wind comes again, he is likely to lose everything.

"But the prince will not be a threat to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty is not confused." Li Xuan took a deep breath and turned cold.

They don't need to worry about many things. Li Xian has always been very well-behaved.

Even under Li Xuan's suggestion, Li Xian handled court affairs every day as much as possible under the eyes of the courtiers.

In other words, it is equivalent to being under the emperor's nose.

"The Prime Minister followed him to Songshan Mountain. In this way, there is no chance for anyone to get close to him. As for Your Majesty, whether he is confused or not is up to the Queen." Yu Ze directly revealed the key point here. Faintly, in Luoyang , the Queen of Heaven already had the power to coerce the Emperor and order the princes.

Destroyed Li Xianli and Li Dan?

Li Xuan sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth. Empress Wu's desire for power was so amazing that she probably didn't even expect it. But when the opportunity appeared in front of her, Empress Wu would never hesitate to seize the opportunity and climb up.

Empress Wu will become emperor. Over the years, even the craziest people have never thought about it like this.

Only Empress Wu, only herself, would have such a thought when she dreamed back at midnight, but then she would have the idea of ​​killing herself.

Of course, there is also a person sitting on the imperial couch...

But even she doesn't think that she will become emperor in the future.

Her purpose should at best be to sit on the throne and handle government affairs for Li Zhi and Li Xian.

If Li Xian disobeys when the time comes, then Li Xian and Li Dan will be abolished.

But all this happened after Li Zhi died and Li Xian came to the throne. If the emperor deposed Li Xian and established Li Dan before Li Xian came to the throne, then the courtiers would throw all the blame on her. superior.

So once Li Dan takes the throne, the court officials will never allow her to interfere in political affairs again, not even the Beimen bachelors.

Therefore, if Li Xian is abolished, Empress Wu will have only one chance, and only after the emperor dies, if Li Xian is abolished, can Empress Wu get the greatest benefit. If Li Xian is abolished here, Empress Wu will not only not get the benefits, but may even To be unlucky, Li Dan is much smarter than Li Xian.

"The aristocratic family has no chance to contact the Prime Minister, nor the Prince, so they can only focus on the official position in the court." Li Xuan walked into the only stone pavilion in the backyard, sat down on the stone bench, and then looked Xiang Yuze said: "But the key position is very important to His Majesty, so they will definitely take action at a position out of the Emperor's sight."

Yu Ze sighed and said softly: "When your Majesty leaves Chang'an, people are already fighting for their position in the new dynasty."

"Not many people can see this. There won't be that many people who dare to treat the emperor who is still alive and still controlling everything as if he doesn't exist." Li Xuan shook her head slightly. Those who can see this are absolutely They are all old guys who have experienced a change of throne.

It has been more than thirty years since the emperor ascended the throne. Those who can see this have already been in high positions since the early years of Yonghui.

Family inheritance, coupled with my keen eyesight and personal experience, gave me such a keen sense of smell.

"Your Majesty will not allow the aristocratic family to make so many moves." Yu Ze pointed out what Li Xuan had overlooked.

Although the emperor gave up the overall situation when he visited Luoyang eastward, his vision was still sharp. Whoever made more moves or crossed the line would immediately be severely attacked by him. "So, our method must be secretive, that is, the Secretary Supervisor." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said: "If this year's water control is successful, then when I return to the DPRK this time, I will strongly recommend that the Capital Water Supervisor be appointed as a whole."

Why do you expect this Du Shui Supervisor to be promoted to the fourth rank? His subordinates, the Du Shui Young Supervisor, and countless others will also be promoted to the first rank.

"It's not easy to upgrade the entire Water Supervisor to one level." Yu Ze frowned slightly and looked at Li Xuan and said: "Even if His Majesty agrees, the officials will not agree. At most, he will be like Taishi Ling, who also serves as the secretary. Supervisor, no matter how good he is, the most he can do is serve as the minister of the Ministry of Works, and the government will not give him much. "

"In normal times, it would be like this, but this year is different." Li Xuan shook her head slightly, looked in the direction of Luoyang, and said softly: "But this year there are strong floods."

"Can you really confirm this?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "You seem to have been planning this a few years ago, just for this time, right? What if something goes wrong this time? , all your previous image will be ruined.”

"No." Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze and said confidently: "Uncle Yu, you have also been here these years. There is something that you haven't seemed to pay much attention to?"

"What's the matter?" Yu Ze was a little surprised.

Li Xuan lowered her eyes slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Do you still remember when Your Majesty conferred Zen on Mount Tai?"

Yu Ze nodded subconsciously: "Remember, it happened seventeen years ago."

"Then you should remember that after His Majesty Feng Chan, the world suffered from constant disasters, droughts, floods, locusts, earthquakes, and within a few years, Dafeichuan was also defeated." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said softly: "Feng Chan has never been a It's an easy thing. In essence, he is demonstrating to Haotian, and Haotian will retaliate immediately. Emperor Wu is like this, and there will be no exception today. Next year... hum! "

Li Xuan snorted coldly, as if he saw the huge natural disaster that might happen to the entire Tang Dynasty next year.

"This... this is a bit too..." Yu Ze wanted to say that this was a bit too alarmist, but only halfway through, he stopped with a gloomy expression.

The events of these years happened one after another in his mind.

After the first year of Qianfeng, there were countless natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, including droughts, floods, locusts, and earthquakes. Goguryeo was finally destroyed on the battlefield, and Silla rebelled again.

Then there was the defeat of Dafeichuan, Mrs. Rongguo died of illness, and the emperor was also seriously ill for several years. There were all kinds of rumors about the succession of the crown prince and the queen.

That is to say, after Li Xuan became an official, the situation of Datang became much better.

But even in that year, Prince Li Hong died of illness and there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Xuan was even called back from Longhu Mountain to pray for rain.

Could it be that it was really because Feng Chan offended Haotian?

"At that time, Emperor Taizong also had five discussions about conferring Zen status, but he happened to encounter the Comet Incident, the border war and the severe drought." Yu Ze nodded slowly and said softly: "Although the weather is not in harmony, in fact people are talking about it. "What's more, the Tang Dynasty lost the true etiquette of granting Zen. Later, the etiquette of granting Zen during the Qianfeng period also had some problems."

Yu Ze suddenly stopped, looked at Li Xuan, shook his head, and said: "Feng Chan at the beginning of next year, if there is a place for you, be sure to stay back and don't rush too far forward."

"The order of the Feng Chan?" Li Xuan was a little surprised. Something happened when he was Feng Chan in the first year of Qian Feng, and this time is probably no exception.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Xuan said: "Even if we retreat, we can't go anywhere. The Protector of Fanzhou, the pacifier of Luozhidao, the marching general, the right guard general, and the prince's guests, how can we retreat? In the East Palace sequence, I am also the third and fourth candidate.”

In the East Palace sequence, in addition to Li Xian, Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao were in front of Li Xuan.

As for Yao Lingzhang, Li Xuan respected him, so he was before Li Xuan. If Li Xuan was ruder, Yao Lingzhang would have no choice.

"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded. It was true. When he was in the East Palace, Li Xuan was quite conspicuous. But among the kings, he couldn't move forward even if he wanted to.

"Those who want to run to the front, stay away." Yu Ze couldn't help but warned again.

"Don't worry." Li Xuan took a breath and said: "Chang'an and Luoyang, for matters in Chang'an, next time I write to advise the prince and pay attention to the family's actions. As for matters in Luoyang, just send medicine to Luoyang regularly. I'm lucky this time The thing is, we’re far enough away.”

"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded in agreement. Although the disputes in the court have not yet started, it is enough to see that a storm is brewing.

"Anyway, let's build the fence first." Li Xuan looked solemn and said seriously: "Xing Wenwei and Cheng Chuzheng have been transferred to the western front, so we are under a lot less pressure. Now Zuo Xiaowei has moved westward, and Luo Zhewei has moved to the west. Another thousand were transferred, and the flood control power was insufficient, so the state soldiers were transferred from various states to supplement the Luo guards, and the county soldiers were added to supplement the state soldiers, and local soldiers were recruited to recruit brave people. "

Yu Ze suddenly frowned, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Be strict, or be more relaxed."

"Min Yong doesn't need money or food, so it doesn't matter if he has more." Li Xuan looked up calmly.

Yu Ze couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There were more than seventy counties in Luoshu Road. Even if each county only had 200 soldiers, the total number would be more than 10,000.

If the wrist is looser, twenty thousand people will have it...

"Control water, control water, our goal is to control water." Li Xuan immediately interrupted Yu Ze's random thoughts, and then said: "This year, the Luoche River will be left to its own devices, but the Nu River, all the way to Mangkang, must be opened up. To the east is Batang in western Sichuan. Our people have begun to prepare for business in Litang. The trade road must be opened next year. "

"This can't be..." Before Yu Ze could finish his words, a goshawk had already flown down from the sky above his head.
