Chapter 177 Appointment to fight the world (question)

Wang Hua is preparing at home.

The second day of February is here in the blink of an eye. What Su Jijiu thinks is poetry is easier to handle, and chess and calligraphy are also easy to handle, but painting is a bit difficult, and you can’t draw new ideas. Defeat the opponent in terms of novelty, and at the same time convince the opponent in terms of painting skills, so that no one will show favoritism.

Still waiting for news from Zhang Sanlong, trying to find a way to rescue the eldest sister from the tiger's mouth.

At this time, someone came from the palace, and Wang Hua was reluctant at first.Time is tight, but thinking about things for the better, one by one, I am angry, doing this thing, there are really many benefits right now.Don't look at it completely offending seven surnames and ten families, but Wu Zetian must like it.Didn't you see that she even sent someone to ask herself to ask?There is also a bigger advantage, the court is just an appearance, don't listen to those historical records, like Wei Anshi's impeachment of Zhang Yizhi, Sima Guang wrote him as a loyal admonisher.

That's not the case, Wei Anshi was born in the Wei family, as Li Xianwei's faction, now the Zhang brothers are in charge of the power, squeezing the crown prince, and he feels uncomfortable.But they are so clean that you have nothing to say.

These things can't be talked about, once they talk about it, everyone's heart is cold, oh, so the so-called loyalty is like this.Yes, there are very few truly impartial people.All straight, most of them are carried out on the premise of interests.

There are also many forces that are at odds with the seven surnames and ten families. The emerging Chang'an four surnames, especially Webster, will still be the main parties in power in the future.The Wu surname and Er Zhang in the court are even more at odds with them.It can't be compared with others. If you want to be famous, it doesn't matter if you want to be famous, or you need talents.Although these people are all powerful factions, they can only stare at the seven surnames and ten families.

I have made such a set up myself, well, I am willing to stand out for them, don't need to flatter them, just make them happy.In order for me to continue playing with the seven surnames and ten families in the future, without having to worry about myself, these people paved the way for me.

As long as I operate properly, I will not fall behind. I deliberately curry favor with them, so as to save myself from being like these people in a few years.

Thinking of so many benefits, he finally relaxed his frown after being frowning for the past few days.

He rode a horse and followed the eunuch to Luoyang City.

At this time, it was the 23rd of the first lunar month. Although the weather was still steep, the ice and snow on the rivers and rivers had basically melted, and a trace of greenery could be seen in the yellow grass on both sides of the road, quietly emerging happily.

Wang Hua was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery in early spring, so he hurried all the way.

The poor father-in-law rode on the horse and kept shouting: "Erlang, slow down, I don't have your skills, you want to knock the servant to death."

"Good Erlang, I really can't stand this ass of this servant girl."

There is no other way, who wants someone to be favored by the emperor now, if an ordinary person would have ridden on the horse and yelled: "Hey, boy, how dare you not listen to XX!"

Wang Hua had no choice but to slow down the speed of the horse a little, and said: "This servant, the boy is really short of time now, please forgive me."

"My servant also knows that you are short on time and have to prepare for the battle, but my servant's body is too weak, ouch, I can't do it."

Several soldiers laughed.

I had no choice but to wait for him, it would be too late when I arrived in Luoyang.

Before Wang Hua entered the city, sharp-eyed people saw Wang Hua and began to point fingers.

Here comes the main character.

What is all this for?Wang Hua is still puzzled, isn't it because Su Jijiu revealed the announcement?Even Lu Ergou was temporarily imprisoned.

The eunuch laughed and said: "Erlang, you don't know yet, the slaves have not left Luoyang yet, the whole Luoyang has been shaken up by you."

When Wang Hua heard it, the matter was serious, but it was definitely a good thing. Under the pressure of a huge reputation, it was also a kind of power, the power of public opinion!This will protect their own safety, otherwise these families will also do the same thing as jumping over the wall.Although his skills are much better now than before, Wang Hua still doesn't want the Mangzi Lane incident to happen again.

When they came to the embankment of the Luohe River in front of the Tianjin Bridge, Wang Hua tied up the horses.Wait for the eunuch to go in and report.

In the palace, Wu Zetian was hosting a banquet to entertain the ministers, and Wu Zetian was old.Although his wrists have gradually become calmer, he is not as courageous and capable as before, and because of Di Renjie's death, he does some things a little stupidly.It is also because in his later years, he likes to be lively, and often hosts banquets in the palace to entertain ministers, mainly to talk with ministers.When a person gets old, he talks a lot.When this period of history was recorded in "Zi Zhi", what happened at Wu Zetian's palace banquet appeared several times every year.

After hearing the eunuch's report, Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Let him in."

Wang Hua followed the eunuch into the palace, came to a large hall, saw, Huo!A large group of people are sitting on low chairs, having a banquet.Some ministers know it, some ministers don't.Princess Taiping and Shangguan Xiaowan were also at the banquet.

Don't worry about this, come to Wu Zetian to salute.

Wu Zetian first shouted and asked: "I ask you, why did you do this!"

Now that Wang Hua understands Lao Wu's characteristics, he must obey her first, and nothing will happen once he obeys her.Then there is something to discuss.So he knelt down and said, "I know I was wrong, but I have something to say."

"I see you have something to say?"

"Then once the minister speaks out, I am afraid that His Majesty will be even more angry. Can you forgive the minister for his ignorance and lack of knowledge of what to say, so he can only speak after forgiving the minister."

When Lao Wu heard it, he became happy, hehe, he really had the courage to talk about conditions with me.She said: "Okay, I will forgive you for your innocence, but I have to listen to a proper reason, otherwise I will be so polite to you today. Stand up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I just want to ask Your Majesty one thing. When I was in Zhenguan, I was invincible and invincible to the army. I am still invincible, but Your Majesty cannot deny that there have been some defeats. Dare I ask Your Majesty why? reason?"

Originally, although Lao Wu was scolding, he still had a smile on his face. When asked by Wang Hua, the expression on his face was as wonderful as it could be.

Lao Wang and Comrade Lao Ji, who is now relegated to a pitiful little ceremonial member Wailang, couldn't help it after hearing this, and turned around to laugh secretly.

It took Wu Zetian a long time before he said: "Okay, you have the ability, then you can tell me why."

"Your Majesty, this is just a random thought of the minister. It doesn't matter. After all, the minister has never entered the court, let alone handled government affairs."

"Okay, don't be wordy, tell me the reason!"

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of Zhenguan, due to the war, there were few people in the fields. There was enough exempted land for the government soldiers to cultivate and feed them, so as to have enough production to buy weapons and horses. May I ask you."

He also came to a small minister to ask you, and the expressions on the faces of the ministers were horrible.

Wu Zetian even forgot to speak, just holding ivory chopsticks, looking at Wang Hua, neither crying nor laughing.

"How many soldiers in the government now have exempt lands that are really enough to feed them? They can't even feed their people. How can they get money to buy horses and weapons? What kind of combat power do they have? Fighting on the battlefield. For example, in the past two years, my life Well, the body is also strong. But a few years ago, like a small rib, what kind of strength can it have?"

"You don't have the strength, and you were still killing assassins in Mangzi Alley. Now that you have strength, how can you go to the border for me to defend against foreign enemies!" Wu Zetian said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers take the imperial examinations and enter the officialdom, they will go wherever your majesty wants them to go. If the king wants them to die, the ministers dare not die!"

Speaking of now, only this sentence is right for Lao Wu.

"Don't talk about border crossings, so what if we go to Jiaozhi? If everyone is nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, who will guard the border crossings? Who will manage the remote places?"

This sentence was more in line with Lao Wu's taste, her face softened a little, and she said: "Go on and talk about the reason."

"Other reasons, I don't know." There are also some reasons, such as Wu Zetian beheaded many famous generals, and Wu Zetian replaced the royal family of Li and Tang, giving these foreigners a good reason to rebel, etc., But Wang Hua didn't dare to say it.

But here Wang Hua hadn't finished talking, and he said: "I still have something to say, and I have to ask His Majesty to forgive me before I dare to say it."

"Okay, I forgive you for your innocence," Wu Zetian's calm expression just now raised his face again, his teeth were clenched so hard that he was about to make a sound.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He is also a generation of Mingjun. Since he ascended the throne, he has been conscientious in governing the people of the country."

"Okay, tell me the point."

"Okay, then the minister will say it."

This time the ministers finally couldn't hold back and laughed together.Even Wu Zetian was amused by Wang Hua, she said: "If you want to admonish, you can do so, don't play tricks, I'm not so stupid that I can't tell right from wrong."

"Okay, my minister said, although Your Majesty is wise and mighty, how is the situation of fleeing households these years compared to the beginning of Zhenguan?"

When the minister heard this question, he immediately stopped smiling. This subject is too big and too heavy. Since Wu Zetian, he has been worrying about this subject, but it has not been solved. Finally, Huang Chao came to kill him, killing the dying paper tiger in the late Tang Dynasty. Pull it apart and start to separate.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty why?"

Lao Wu listened to some voices and said solemnly: "What is the reason?"

In fact, it is impossible for her not to know the reason, but knowing that Gui knows, there is no way to stop it, and now she wants to hear some new ideas from Wang Hua's mouth.

"Actually, His Majesty must know the reason. It is the problem of fields. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were fewer people and more fields, so there was no need to worry about farming. But now the country is peaceful, which is a good thing, but the population is increasing rapidly, so the fields are gradually in short supply. Another point is invasion and merger. Like the Zheng family, I don’t talk about good or bad, they are all so rich, but even my small porcelain kiln is not spared. This snowballs, they are rich and powerful, one A county, a prefecture, and a province. In the end, when you have money, power, and people, how does the court deal with itself? Or is it like in the Spring and Autumn Period when the nations competed for supremacy?"

This sentence can be said to be a heartbreaking statement, and many ministers' faces changed when they heard it!

PS: I woke up this morning with a terrible headache, but I was really moved when I saw the soaring monthly pass. Thank you brothers, Xiao Er has already taken the second position. I am very grateful to you, forever!There is still half of this month left, and there are still about [-] votes away from the top of the list, not much!Let's use monthly tickets to accompany Xiaoer on a gorgeous road to the number one!
Thousands of words, still the same sentence, nothing to say, no return, desperately coding, so that another big storm will come sooner, even though there is no manuscript, I will strive for four more opportunities for big storms this month.
