Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 184 Friendly and affable people are frightened

Chen Qingsi listened particularly carefully and remembered everything in her mind.

At other tables, people were drinking wine, talking about trivial matters, and celebrating the New Year.

Chen Qingsi and Mai Maidi had their own thoughts at the table. One wanted to use Chen Qingsi's mouth to publicize the cruelty of Dashi, and the other wanted to know more about the affairs between Tubo and Dashi so that he could give more advice to himself. chips.

Throughout the banquet, the two of them talked about things in the Western Regions and had a great time talking.

Chen Qingsi returned to Chen's house with a hint of drunkenness.

It was Zhou Kui who opened the door.

The matter has been done. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qing Xuzi went south first.

Zhou Kui was willing to stay in Chang'an, but Qingkong happened to have a lost brother, so he asked Zhou Kui to pretend to be Qingkong's brother and take him into his home.

Chen Qingsi asked: "Madam, is she back?"

Zhou Kui said: "The mistress has returned. She seems to have something on her mind. My subordinates dare not ask any more questions."

Chen Qingsi nodded.

The reason why the Xiao family is what it is today is certainly due to Concubine Xiao Shu's stupidity, but it is also related to Empress Wu's superb methods.

Today she was invited to the palace and met her "enemy", so it was normal for her to be worried.

He walked quickly to the bedroom, but there was no one there, not even Qian Yan or Qing Kong.

Looking at the bright light in the backyard, Chen Qingsi came to the backyard. Xiao Miaochen was leaning on the fence and looking into the distance, with Qian Yan and Qing Kong accompanying her.

"You guys here? Make it easy for me to find you!"

Chen Qingsi interrupted this tranquility.

Xiao Miaochen, Qianyan and Qingkong saw it was Chen Qingsi and stepped forward to say hello.

Chen Qingsi directly hugged Xiao Miaochen and said, "Madam admires the moon and doesn't wait for her husband. She deserves to be punished."

Xiao Miaochen rested her head on Lang Jun's shoulder, smelling her husband's familiar scent. Her slightly uneasy heart calmed down and she said, "I accept all punishment from Lang Jun."

Chen Qingsi smiled "hehe" and said: "Put it in the account..."

He pulled Xiao Miaochen to lean against the railing, warming his small hands with his big hands.

Qianyan and Qingkong left wisely.

"Meet Empress Wu? How do you feel?"

Chen Qingsi asked with a smile.

Xiao Miaochen had a complicated expression and said, "It's so friendly and kind that it's scary."

Chen Qingsi did not speak, but held his wife's hands a little harder.

Xiao Miaochen felt the power in her hand and said: "Mr. Lang said that Queen Wu has a problem with you and me, but I can't feel any malice in her. On the contrary, she even talked to me specifically about attending the harem banquet for the first time. Her concubine was very caring, saying that she would get used to it after coming a few times, and praised her husband to the sky. She also said that she had a nephew named Helan Minzhi, who liked his poems the most, and hoped to become his disciple. "

She paused and said: "Every word and deed she did was like a mother's respect for the world. She was the wife of more than 110 people, and the wife and mother of more than [-] close ministers. She could name everyone by name, knew some of their deeds, and understood them. The deeds of their husbands. During the entire banquet, she did not neglect anyone. Almost everyone could feel the care and attention from the queen. She gave me a feeling that the queen should be like her."

Chen Qingsi was not surprised at all. That was Wu Zhao and Wu Zetian. Regardless of the reputation of later generations, whether it was good or bad, he was still a legend.

Her Machiavellian tactics are unquestionable.

Judging from her achievements as an emperor, she is not considered a wise king or a holy master, but she is more than capable of controlling the position of queen.

Xiao Miaochen sighed: "If Lang Jun hadn't asked me to pay attention, Queen Wu would have opinions about you and me. I'm afraid I would regard her as a magnanimous and wise queen at this moment."

Queen Wu had a problem with Xiao Miaochen, naturally because of her sister Xiao Shufei.

Of course, this is just a trivial matter, and Empress Wu still has the tolerance to accommodate Xiao Miaochen.

The person who really made Empress Wu have a problem with her was Chen Qingsi.As for the reason, it was in Li Yifu.

There is a small follow-up about Li Yifu.

After Li Yifu was impeached and imprisoned, people from Dali Temple immediately rushed into Li Yifu's mansion to capture Taoist Priest Qing Xuzi.

But the building was empty and people disappeared.

Qing Xuzi was born in the Qingwei sect of Longhu Mountain. He studied the method of dispelling evil and exorcising ghosts, commonly known as pretending to be gods and ghosts. He was proficient in all kinds of strange armor, that is, acrobatic illusions.

Chen Shuozhen was able to confuse the people and mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time, relying on illusion techniques.

It was obvious that with the arrest of Li Yifu, some people began to suspect Qing Xuzi.

It is suspected that Qing Xuzi was instigated by others and deliberately led Li Yifu to make mistakes.

At first, Chen Qingsi thought it was Yuan Gongyu, a subordinate of Li Yifu, but Qingxuzi asked Zhou Kui to tell him that the person who inquired about Qingxuzi was the Yang family.

It turned out that Qing Xuzi and Sun Simiao were old acquaintances. They both belonged to the same Taoist sect, were both good at medicine, and had had contact with each other in Jiangnan.

Before Qing Xuzi left, he specially disguised himself to say goodbye to Sun Simiao, who was living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. It was the Yang family who learned the news of the interrogation from him.

Chen Qingsi combined the situation and figured out why the Yang family was so eager to find Qing Xuzi.

Many TV dramas and the influence of special eras have shown that the Wei Guangzheng touted by Wu Zetian, as a queen, fought against heaven and earth, first defeated Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, and then sidelined Li Zhi, and finally became a generation of queens, ruling the world.

What about the facts?
As a queen, why should she argue with ministers?
Ignore the emperor?How funny!

The queen's position was given to her by Li Zhi, so why should she use her head as an excuse?
Not to mention anything else, at the level of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, even the current Chen Qingsi and Empress Wu are not qualified to touch them.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

That is to say, I met Li Zhi who only talked about the results and did not consider the process.

It took an unruly emperor to become a queen.

Before Li Zhi gave Empress Wu the power to involve herself in politics, Empress Wu had no other powers except the queen's unique powers.

If Empress Wu wants to promote someone or demote someone, she must borrow the power of others.

For example, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.

These two villains wanted to let Empress Wu enjoy Li Zhi's pillow style and were willing to do something for her.

This can indeed achieve the goal, but this does not belong to the power of Queen Wu, but the power of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu as prime ministers.

As Li Zhi's number one confidant, Xu Jingzong would not obey Queen Wu's words.

Li Yifu is different. Li Yifu superstitiously believes that she is where she is today because of Li Zhi Ge Chang!
He has a special attitude towards Queen Wu.

Empress Wu would ask her mother to notify Li Yifu of any arrangement needs, and Li Yifu believed that if Empress Wu was good, he would be good, and would provide support and obey her words.

Therefore, when Li Yifu fell, the most injured person was Empress Wu. She lost the only person who worked for her.

The Yang family is now looking for Qingxuzi, and this is where Empress Wu wants to protect Li Yifu, but she has no ability, so she can only hope to find Qingxuzi and find out the possible real culprit behind the scenes. If it is Changsun Wuji, then there is Hope that the merit will be reduced to the crime.

The result is naturally all in vain.

How can the Yang family have the strength to find the real murderer?

Regarding the downfall of Li Yifu, no one dared to believe that Chen Qingsi had the ability to set up a trap, but everyone knew that Li Yifu had reached this stage because of Chen Qingsi.

Empress Wu lost her only available person because of Chen Qingsi.

How can it be possible if there is no opinion?
