Chapter 305
Wu Zetian laughed out loud, very satisfied, now Wang Hua is her one-handed supporter, and she has not disappointed her, no matter in terms of literary talent or martial arts, she has outstanding performance.She didn't even see through her intentions, which made her a little complacent.

After laughing, Wu Zetian said: "The main reason is also caused by you."

"Is it caused by my minister?" Wang Hua asked puzzledly, isn't this wronging me?Xueziying did not make any mistakes in this operation. The current cause has nothing to do with Xueying, let alone its own fault, and Wu Zetian was also asked for instructions at that time.

"Yes, the reduction of officials you mentioned. I have reduced a lot during this time. However, there are too many redundant jobs in the court. I am taking this opportunity to reduce a group of officials in the court. If it is in normal times, because The conflict of interests, my ears will be deafened by these unsatisfied courtiers again."

It turns out that if Lao Wu thinks this way, it is really a good thing. Taking the opportunity to clean up a group of ministers and leave the court, and then reorganize some institutions, can be regarded as reforming a problem in her hands.

But I'm afraid that's not the case. The large gaps left behind will be filled by the Zhang brothers' cronies, which will instead create new problems.Don't say how much the Zhang brothers are loyal to Wu Zetian, maybe loyal?Think about it, sleeping in the same bed with this old lady every day is not a happy thing.As long as their power grows to a certain extent, they will also have some unruly thoughts.

It can be said that it is very difficult for the court to find someone who is truly loyal to Wu Zetian.

Seeing her smug smile, Wang Hua felt sore in his heart.But he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

In any case, the old lady cared for her very much. If it wasn't for the old lady's respect for her in the past few years, as Mu Zili said, she might have been "killed" by the seven surnames who hated her .

Wu Zetian said again: "There is one more thing, I will ask you again."

"I dare not, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Why did I besiege the inn where the Turks lived?"

"This is because the Turks are afraid that the news will be leaked. It is possible that they have already reacted and we got the reason for their change of attitude."

"This is just one of them," said a eunuch, calling a few words in his ear.The eunuch went down.

"Look at this memorial," Wu Zetian threw a memorial to Wang Hua.

Wang Hua saw that it was some information about the eunuch who committed suicide by taking poison.

The eunuch's name was Liu De, and he was from Luoyang, the eastern capital. He came from a commoner family in Luoyang. Because the family was poor, he was sold into the palace as a eunuch since he was a child.The early stage information is very simple, and the main later stage begins to become more complicated.First served Wu Chengsi, and after Wu Chengsi died, he returned to the palace to serve Li Dan.Later, the East Palace was short of manpower, and was transferred from Li Dan's mansion to the East Palace again to serve Li Xian.Then Zhang Yizhi's mansion was reassigned to Zhang Yizhi's mansion due to lack of manpower.But this person is taciturn and rarely interacts with others, but because of his personality, it is easier to be liked by the master.

Wang Hua couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zetian also laughed and asked, "What do you see?"

Wang Hua shook his head and said, "It means nothing."

"That's right, this person chose this disobedient Liu De because he valued his complicated background, making it difficult to investigate. But I just got an even more strange news today."

"what news?"

"Wait a moment." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Wang Hua had no choice but to sit in a chair and wait.

After a while, the eunuch brought up a person, and Wang Hua was shocked when he saw it.

Turkic envoy Mo Hegan!

Wu Zetian made a gesture to signal Mo Heqian to sit down, and said to Wang Hua: "You were all paying attention to the blood camp that day, but I heard Ye Hun say something, Mo He's envoy is Mo Chuan's confidant. Therefore, I let the Turkic people besiege them, one is to wait until Jiazhen and Zhigu return two months later, and then release them back. The other is for the envoy Mohe."

Wang Hua looked at Mo Hegan again, saw his haggard face, and immediately understood what Wu Zetian meant.Obtaining Mohegan is equivalent to obtaining a lot of information from the Turks, including their terrain, distribution of troops, composition of various ministries, and important economic and state ministers, etc. There is a lot of information to inquire about.In normal times, Wu Zetian would not do this.But now the two countries have already scratched their heads anyway, so there is nothing wrong with doing this. The Huns detained Su Wu, and the Turks detained Wu Yanxiu, and it was the same reason.

Reasoning with them is like reasoning with the Japanese, can they be released?Either pay the price, or fight them back, there is no other choice.

What Lao Wu is doing now is the same.Wu Yanxiu was married to a prisoner, Mo Hegan was married to a prisoner, and they were each other.

Maybe this Mohegan is a capable Turkic minister, but facing the torture of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that those unconventional interrogation methods used the same. Looking at his small arms and legs, this alternative Turkic person will be frightened and softened immediately. Surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

This, Wang Hua underestimated Mo Hegan. After playing Mo Hegan for a whole day in Dali Temple, after using eighteen martial arts, and Wu Zetian promised to send scouts to quietly bring Mo Hegan's family to the Tang Dynasty, he agreed to come down. of.

Even some cruel officials in Dali Temple have to admire the perseverance of this thin Turkic man.

This time Wang Hua said sincerely, "Your Majesty is wise."

Wu Zetian smiled triumphantly again, and said, "Besides, I have another idea. This time, the Blood Camp just needs to be reorganized."

Hearing this news, Wang Hua couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"Originally, the king of Liang was appointed as the battalion supervisor because he was afraid that you would not be able to restrain these brave soldiers because you were too young. Now there is no need for this, so I want you to be the battalion supervisor."

"I'm afraid this minister still can't afford it because of his age."

"Envoy Mo He, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, obey the order," Mo Hegan said with his head drooping like a defeated rooster, "The person most feared by Turkic Khan is Wang Zhongying, and the army he fears most is Blood Camp. Not counting the army of the Tuqishi and the army of the Mohe people, the Turks mobilized nearly [-] troops."

Hearing that Mo Hegan changed his name to Turkic Khan, Wang Hua wanted to laugh a little.However, when he heard it later, his expression became more cautious. Although it sounded like he was proud, the number of troops mobilized by the Turks was too large. Adding the other two countries, it was 8 or 5000.In the battle of Yangchang Ridge, there were only [-] people, and they fought so hard under their painstaking ambush.War is not as easy as written.

He couldn't help but look north with concern.

Wu Zetian sighed, she no longer expected the six thousand soldiers to return safely.She said: "Wang Hua listens to the order."

Wang Hua knelt down.

Wu Zetian said: "Wang Huaqian moved to General Guide, the bloody battalion governor. Mo Hegan was the loyal general, and the bloody battalion was the general of the battalion. The bloody battalion expanded to six thousand soldiers."

Wu Sansi acted as a general in command of the battalion, and Wang Hua acted as a general of Guide in charge of the battalion.However, General Guide is already a third-rank post, and he is only one level behind the generals of the sixteen guards. General Qianniu, the governor of the lower capital, the governor of Shangzhou, the governor of the governor's office, the deputy governor of the governor's office of the capital, and the Zhengqing of the nine supervisors are all on equal footing.

In fact, Wang Hua already understood Wu Zetian's intention.First of all, Mo Hegan is an important Turkic minister, and he should not be too wronged after defecting to the Tang Dynasty. Now he is a fourth-rank military officer, and his position can be regarded as sloppy.It is mainly the middle battalion general of the blood camp, which will have a great blow to the Turks, and he is familiar with the Turks. With his help, the blood camp will act more carefully in the future.But in this way, he also had to promote himself so that he could overwhelm Mo Hegan.

There is another reason. Under Wu Sansi's position as the battalion supervisor, improving his official position can make the bloody battalion less restrictive.

Also, now Wu Zetian also feels that the ministers in the court have lost their minds together, and they are all looking for their masters, so there are no ministers who are convinced.In this context, she had the idea of ​​making an exception for herself.

Maybe she also considered that she was in a bad mood and used this to comfort herself.And Mo Shui's evaluation of himself and Xueying is also a factor.At the same time, it also shows that she is beginning to worry about Wu's surname now.

Now this edict has not been spread, otherwise it will cause an uproar again.Originally, the blood battalion was not controlled by the three provinces and six ministries, but now it has expanded from four thousand to five thousand, and then to six thousand, plus its own promotion speed. Of course, the latter point is not important, mainly the first two points.Wang Hua could imagine the faces of the ministers.

Mo Hegan had already thanked the decree, but Wang Hua was still hesitant.

"Do you have any opinion?"

"First of all, he," Wang Hua pointed at Mo Hegan, and said bluntly, "His physical fitness is not good, and if he backs out, it will be a disaster for the Blood Camp."

"Wang Hua, General Mo He's character and perseverance are definitely not what you imagined, and you will know later."

Old Wu said so, Wang Hua had no choice but to thank the decree.

Wu Zetian added: "But General Mo He's appointment cannot be made public for the time being."

Wang Hua nodded. As soon as this was made public, Mo Chuai knew that something was in big trouble, and the precious time that might have been won would be lost immediately.

"You all get up."

The two stood up.

Wu Zetian said to Mo Hegan this time: "General Mo He, don't worry, I have already sent people to Turkic to pick up your family. Also, in my country, it is impossible for such a thing to happen to Yan Zhiwei silently. "

Mo Heqian still expressed his gratitude unhappily.

But the more this happened, the more Wu Zetian valued it. If he immediately danced and danced, he could betray Mochuu and Tang Dynasty as well. It is really possible that, as Wang Hua said, it would bring disaster to Xueziying.

Wu Zetian said again: "General Mo He, let's talk about another matter."

"Observe the order." Mo Heqian turned his head to look at Wang Hua. Anyway, his expression was not very good. He said hoarsely, "It's like this. This time, I got the news of the blood camp at the end of July. If according to the Calculating the departure time of the blood camp, it is possible that the blood camp will leave in front, and someone will send information to the Turks later. Therefore, I only received the news when the Turkic envoys arrived a few days ago. But the entire envoys know that Apart from me, there is also Princess Danzhu, Ye Hun and Burkin. But before that, even I didn’t know who knew the news. After you slapped Danzhu that night, Princess Danzhu You told me out of fear."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly, Wang Hua was purely a mistake this time, but turned Turkic's complete plan into pieces.He raised his head and said: "I heard from Your Majesty that someone pretended to be Zhang Yizhi's order and ordered the officials of the Jingzhao County Government to poison Ye Hun and others. This is also strange. I didn't know that Ye Hun knew this secret. How could this person Who knows this secret, and sent someone to murder Ye Hun?"

Hearing this, Wang Hua also felt that it was a bit weird, and he asked, "Don't you know that it was our Da Zhou who sent the letter?"

"I don't know, I went back and asked Princess Danzhu."

Ask Princess Danzhu?Wang Hua looked up suspiciously.

Wu Zetian had fun again, this time she was very satisfied with her arrangement.She explained: "It's like this. In order not to make the people in the Turkic envoys suspicious, General Mo He defected to our court, and I let him stay in the post."

Wu Zetian didn't explain in detail, but Wang Hua understood that there was an advantage in doing so. Mo Hegan stayed in the post station, which could help the Tang Dynasty stabilize the hearts of the Turkic people.After all, Wu Zetian didn't want to give Mo Chuai too many excuses, maybe even that pill would be released.But even though the station is surrounded now, if the Turkic people realize that something is wrong and want to escape by force and send the news back to the Turkic, although the success rate is not high, it is not impossible.With Mo Hegan staying at the inn, this possibility disappeared immediately, even if he escaped, Tang Chao would know quickly.And the news of Mo Hegan's surrender to the Tang Dynasty leaked out.

This is Lao Wu in his later years. If it had been ten years earlier, how delicate would that old Wu be? Although she was cruel at that time, Wang Hua couldn't help yearning for the style of Lao Wu at that time.

Of course it was one thing, he could choose, but he didn't want to choose to be an official in the court at that time.

Wang Hua turned around and asked, "Then General Mo He, can you be more specific?"

"This news was brought by a Turkic soldier. When he was on patrol in Saibei, he met two Tang people, no, Zhou people, handed the news to him, and then rode away. The soldier didn't have time to stop him, but he saw After the news, I immediately reported it to the Khan. These two people also prevented this soldier from making mistakes, and at the same time sent the news to another Turkic soldier. But they don’t know their origins. I don’t know if this is the case, But listen to what Princess Danzhu said."

Wang Hua is silent, of course it is impossible for this person to let Mo Chuu know his origin, but for a person with a big heart, what should Mo Chuu do if he makes this talk in the future?
Mo Hegan said again: "I went back and thought about it, unless there is one thing. When he saw you ordering the arrest, he felt a little worried, so he notified his subordinates to pay attention to this matter, and sent his subordinates to invite the eunuch here. When he learned that Ye Hun wanted to spit out the news, the eunuch immediately entered the county government office."

The analysis is meticulous, and it is worthy of being a trusted minister that Mo Chuai values.

However, Wu Zetian and Wang Hua both yelled: "Neglect."

If you want to know whether Ye Hun knows this secret, or whether you have spit it out after knowing it, you must have an inside line with the officials or yamen servants of Jingzhao County.By following this line, more clues can be sorted out until this person is found.

After finishing speaking, Wu Zetian immediately ordered that all the government officials and officials who were present that day be arrested immediately.After giving the order, Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief. Not only she, but Wang Hua also seemed to see a ray of dawn.

PS: It was an hour late, but it was still delivered in the third watch.
