[Empress of the Tang Dynasty] Prosperous Red Makeup

There will always be times when people hesitate, and at this time they are confused and uneasy, unable to make a choice, no matter whether it is correct or not, so they can only procrastinate, but it is only when everything is clear that he will understand. When he doesn't make a decision, he can only be determined by others, including his life.And Pei Yan was at this moment of hesitation.

In fact, if Pei Yan can be more determined, perhaps it should be said that he can stop thinking too much about his own influence, maybe he will have regrets and regrets, but he will eventually make some success in life, But he didn't.

He hesitated between the rebels and the empress dowager, or should I say inaction. He could neither completely confront the empress dowager who is now ruling the Tang Dynasty, nor could he completely obey the empress dowager, ignoring the Confucian ethics he had inherited since childhood , so he took a silent approach to deal with the rebels, and he was a little whimsical about the empress dowager.

Didn't he just say that he used the rebel army to persuade the empress dowager to return to the emperor?But now Pei Yan was a little bit confused about the situation, or he could see it clearly, but he just didn't know what to do, so he could only do something stupid.

Pei Yan seemed to have forgotten that the Empress Dowager was never afraid of those who resisted her, let alone hundreds of thousands of mobs.He forgot that Li Jingye's rebel army had just risen and won some minor victories.He forgot that in this court, the empress dowager can be said to cover the sky with one hand.

This time, Pei Yan unconsciously exposed his position, and this position was in opposition to the Empress Dowager, so he was doomed to misfortune.Hesitating or trying to appease both sides, the end of doing good deeds is that both sides are not pleasing to the empress dowager. He is not firm in his political stance, so the empress dowager's first knife to kill chickens and monkeys is directed at his neck. He couldn't do his best to help, but just acquiesced in his nephew's joining, which eventually became one of his crimes.

On October [-]th of the first year of Guangzhai, less than half a month after Li Xiaoyi's army set off, Pei Yan, as the honored guest of the Empress Dowager's show of courage and iron blood to the officials, was beheaded on the front street of Dutingyi.Prior to this, the imperial court and harem had talked about it.

Before this, in the harem, in Wan'er's residence, Wan'er was combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, with picturesque movements, she suddenly smiled lightly and said: "Mingxi, because of you, because of the heavens, I unexpectedly With the second blooming of youth." This is not true, Wan'er is the most beautiful time for a woman at this age, mature and charming, touching and bright.

After a while, Mingxi's voice came from next to her ear, "Auntie is a woman of extraordinary beauty, and Mingxi is afraid that this skin will wrong Auntie." I don't know when it started, maybe it was when she saw that woman show her face. Means, when the Tang Dynasty was ruled with peerless grace, Mingxi's heart that was not weaker than a man was completely stimulated, so she worshiped and loved that woman, and her eyes were full of that woman. In her heart, That woman deserves the most precious and beautiful things in the world.

Wan'er put down the comb in her hand, picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it with her fingers, "Mingxi just read that "Biography of the World on behalf of Li Jingye"? What do you think? I don't think it is half as good as Mingxi."

"The words are gorgeous, the voice is full of emotion, the meaning is righteous, the lure is big profit, the heart is the most important, and it is very provocative. Compared with his poems, this article is better." Ming Xi replied.

Wan'er laughed loudly, "It's a pity that he doesn't have this ambition, but also joins the court that pursues fame and fortune. The result of being unhappy is that he becomes impulsive, otherwise he may live a long life as a scholar."

But Mingxi asked: "Auntie, Zhongshu ordered him..."

"Pei Yan is talented and resourceful, but he is old after all. He has different positions. He is an enemy and a friend. That's it." She knew early on that some things can't be judged from right to wrong, but only from the standpoint. There are conflicts and contradictions, this may be the first thing she understood when she used to do something to the concubine.

Ming Xi was silent for a while, no wonder the empress dowager mentioned Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's "prevent the erroneous things, please eliminate the clan" when she summoned her close ministers just now, Pei Yan is so hard-working, it seems that he also understands his current situation.

"How does Auntie plan to deal with Zhongshu Ling?" Mingxi is also a little confused now, because she seems to not want to bow to Pei Yan from Wan'er's meaning, but Pei Yan is now an obstacle to the empress dowager's ascension to the throne. The empress dowager ascended the throne, why didn't she want to cut off the obstacles?

Wan'er narrowed her eyes, took the jade pendant, walked up to the bed and lay down, and said after a while: "Mingxi, I want to take a look at the empress dowager's methods, and I need to confirm something." So regarding the matter of Pei Yan, She probably won't interfere, as long as it doesn't spoil her plans.

Mingxi understood Wan'er's meaning in an instant, so he stopped asking, restrained his breath, continued to store strength in the jade pendant, and waited for the opportunity to be reborn in the yang world.Wan'er nodded the jade pendant, put it away, closed her eyes and rested.

And soon, there was a nursery rhyme spread all over Luoyang, "One piece of fire, two pieces of fire, the little boy in Feiyi sits in the hall." Obviously, this nursery rhyme hides the word "Pei Yan", which means that Pei Yan is going to be the emperor people.

Gossip is not the cause of death, but it is a good crime to kill people.Soon, Cui Cha, the supervisory censor, wrote a letter asking Pei Yan to check on the grounds that Pei Yan "does not want to put down the rebellion, but forced the Queen Mother to return to power, and his nephew is in rebellion. , said that it came from Pei Yan's hometown and was written by the great talent Luo Binwang.This is to beat Pei Yan to the side of the rebels.

Soon, the Empress Dowager ordered Zuo Suzheng's doctor Qian Weiwei and Shi Yu Chengye to arrest Pei Yan.

The empress dowager at this time was no longer the queen of another world who had just arrived in the Tang Dynasty. She had seen so much and heard so much, and she had already had her own impression of the former court and the harem in her heart.What she hates the most is that someone contradicts her. What she wants to do most now is to ascend to the throne. Pei Yan has become an obstacle, and Li Tang's royal family is also an obstacle. The words of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi are in line with the empress dowager's wishes , It also contrasts that Pei Yan is not an ally in "cognition" for the empress dowager, but an antagonistic enemy.

Therefore, the empress dowager did not hesitate to get rid of those who disagreed with her. Before that, killing their leaders was the best idea, and of course it was also to warn those who were neutral but ready to move.

Pei Yan was imprisoned for these things that may have been created out of nothing, but were actually nothing more than political tricks.Even though most of the ministers pleaded for Pei Yan, the empress dowager ignored it at all, convicted, confiscated, and beheaded in one go, and even got the word "green goose" written by Pei Yan as evidence of rebellion.

However, Pei Yan's death was only his own death, and the rest of the tribe were not implicated, and his colleagues were exiled and demoted. Perhaps this was also because the Empress Dowager was "not enough to wash the court with blood", so it was just an act of killing chickens and monkeys. What I want to tell everyone is her "decisive killing"?

Pei Yan's death was already a fact. As for Li Jingye, it was obvious that without a detailed plan and strategy, without a complete military backing, Li Jingye and the others had no ambitions, and it would have been a mistake to face the Empress Dowager just by waving the banner.

Li Xiaoyi's army soon confronted Li Jingye and others. Li Xiaoyi was quite talented in literature and didn't know how to lead troops to fight. on her side.So Li Xiaoyi hastily made a decision without careful consideration, and after the defeat, he became timid and refused to enter the army. Li Jingye was happy about this, and felt that God treated him favorably.

At this time, General Zuo Yingyang Hei Chi Changzhi was ordered to lead the army to reinforce Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi feared that the battle would be unfavorable and anger the Empress Dowager, so he took Wei Yuanzhong's idea to attack Wei Chao first and then Li Jingyou.In the end, under the pursuit of the imperial army, Li Jingye's army retreated steadily. Later, Li Jingye was beheaded by his cronies and surrendered to Li Xiaoyi's army. So far, a rebellion that was a child's play and was born of personal impulsive blood can be regarded as annihilation of the entire army up.

When the news was sent back to Luoyang, no one was shocked by the result. After all, there was a huge disparity in power between the two sides, and the empress dowager had the upper hand. The only thing Li Jingye and others took advantage of was the dissatisfaction of the hearts of the people with the empress dowager's monopoly. Sometimes, not everyone can die for their faith.

Moreover, Li Jingye didn't understand that wherever his army went, there were people in Jianghuai counties who resisted the rebels and rebelled. Who is that person, how many times in the past thousand years, the people have lived a good life, haven't they?

On November [-]th, the first year of Guangzhai, Li Jingye's army was defeated, and Li Xiaoyi ordered to hunt down the remaining party and pacify Yangzhou.

A few days later, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Wan'er was pinching the Empress Dowager's shoulders, when she heard the Empress Dowager humming softly, Kneeling behind the Empress Dowager, Wan'er's eyes were heavy and something was brewing with.

In addition to Wan'er and the Empress Dowager, there is also a third person in the palace, who is a palace maid who was once placed in the East Palace by Wan'er. She quietly came to the Palace of Longevity, and naturally wanted to report something abnormal to the Emperor Dan in the East Palace. .

After the empress dowager heard this, she waved her hand to let the palace people go down. She patted Wan'er's hand, leaned on the cushion, and looked slightly sideways at Wan'er, "Wan'er, the girl from the Wu clan you mentioned has been trained well." What?" Just now the palace people came to report that the emperor has always closed the door of the East Palace in recent days, and heard that he had received several unknown letters.

"Everything is ready, does the Empress Dowager want to send her into the East Palace now?" Wan'er asked.

"Yes, you arrange it." The Empress Dowager stared at Wan'er's face, and lightly added: "Bring Yanwu."

Wan'er just blinked her eyes very naturally, then got up and saluted: "Yes, Wan'er will go down and get ready."

The Empress Dowager waved: "Go." But her eyes were always on Wan'er's back, without any hesitation, did she want to see something from Wan'er?

When Wan'er left the Palace of Eternal Life, Ming Xi's voice suddenly appeared in her head, "Auntie, she doesn't believe you."

Wan'er chuckled, but the eyes that no one could see were full of cold fronts, "She didn't trust anyone." Wan'er was very sure of this, because just like her, when she knew she was so "weird" After experiencing it, how can you trust others?This is a sense of disobedience and uneasiness that comes from the depths of the soul. In my heart, I feel that everything is incompatible with me. Even though she is still a person of this dynasty, she just changed a body and is still a familiar body, but such a sense of uneasiness and rejection It cannot be eliminated.

Fortunately, there was Mingxi by her side.

Wan'er continued to move forward, but Mingxi's voice disappeared. I don't know if she understood what Wan'er meant, but she should also understand if she could gain Wan'er's trust so far, right?
