[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 15 Fisherman 8

"The seventeenth lady really has the spirit of the third lady back then..." Wu Xu looked at Li Zhi and said intentionally.

Here it is said that the third lady is the third sister of His Majesty Li Er, Princess Pingyang, who was the only woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty Li Er in terms of military achievements.

Hearing Wu Xu's comment, Li Zhi showed a sarcastic smile.

"Only she dares to compare with the third lady?!"

Li Zhi seldom told Wu Xu about political affairs on weekdays, but for some reason today, he suddenly felt the desire to confide in him.

"Seventeen is courageous, but he is extremely stupid in doing things!" Li Zhi pulled Wu Xu to sit on the couch, put his arms around her waist, and said slowly: "Uncle has been eyeing the couple for a long time, but she still doesn't care about it." I don't know how to restrain myself..."

"Is she still weak and bully when she treats me?"

Wu Xu couldn't help but asked, "Are you going to take action against Seventeen Niang?" Everyone said that the emperor kept his filial piety and hadn't changed his father's ways for three years. The ground kicked the nose on the face.

Even if Li Zhi dispatched his elder brother Li Taifa to Zhaoling to observe his filial piety as soon as he became a filial piety, it didn't make them feel awe.

It is said that some time ago, Li Xiaojiu only locked up Fang Yiai for two days, and Princess Gaoyang rushed to the Liangyi Hall to make noise and frighten the governors of several states who were being interviewed!

After such slaps, Princess Gao Yang did a few more things, such as openly begging for an official position for Fang Erpang, I believe Li Xiaojiu has endured to the limit!

"Why do I have to do it..." Li Zhi laughed, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid uncle can't tolerate them more than me..."

After thinking about it, Wu Xu thought it made sense, anyway, Uncle Changsun is Li Xiaojiu's guardian, bullying a child is like slapping a parent in the face!

"I think Uncle already has a solution?" Wu Xu asked tentatively.

Li Zhi still had a smile on his face, and half-truthfully said: "Awu, do you think I have to rely on Uncle to do everything, unlike a saint, very useless?"

"How could it be?!" Wu Xu immediately denied. "I always thought you were very smart and capable!" Of course you were also very black-bellied and rascal

Her demeanor of trusting the other party without hesitation pleased Li Zhi.

"I knew you understood me..." Li Zhi was very excited and kissed Wu Xu several times.

Wu Xu pushed him away with black lines, and said: "The sage is wise and bright, and I think he wants to use the power of the eldest grandson to clear the court..."

Li Zhi didn't answer right away when he heard the words, he lay on his back on the couch, and sighed softly: "There are some things, I don't want to dirty my hands..." These words are heartbreaking words, probably because they are as close as grandson Wu Bogey is also hard to hear.

Wu Xu couldn't help holding Li Zhi's hand, and said calmly: "There are always people who want to play a bad face, and saints don't need to be entangled..."

Once upon a time, Wu Xu thought day and night how she would kill Li Mingda with her own hands, but after so many involuntary incidents, she realized how insignificant a person's power is.Even if Li Xiaojiu is as powerful as Li Xiaojiu, he can't do whatever he wants. If he wants to eradicate his brothers and uncles who are threatening to him, he has to take every step of the way and endure until now...

Therefore, she has also started to learn to restrain her emotions now, and she can bow her head and smile to the queen, in order to gain a firm foothold in the palace.

If this kind of thing was left in the past, she would probably let Li Xiaojiu put pressure on the queen with peace of mind, and she might even be like Concubine Xiao Shu, who would not pay attention to the queen when she was favored for a while...

Seeing Wu Xu, he probably truly understands the way women in the harem survive.

Emperor Chong, that is the important thing!

And since the day she chose Li Zhi, she has no way out!

Her fate has already been closely linked with Li Xiaojiu...

Wu Xu couldn't help staring at Li Zhi.

The young man is only 25 years old this year, and he is at the prime of his life. In the three years since he took the throne, although the empire has been repeatedly attacked by natural disasters, he has never given a wrong order.Even if there are such capable civil and military officials as Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, etc., they cannot conceal the image of his intelligent and wise young monarch.

Nowadays, there are many aristocratic families in the empire who are considering adding their daughters to the Tai Chi Palace!

But this kid didn't know that the sutra was wrong, he just wandered around her like a house dog that couldn't be chased away...

However, she couldn't believe Li Xiaojiu's promise.

Don't look at Li Xiaojiu's vows to her now, based on her understanding of men's inferiority, once a woman is subdued, a man will most likely have to find another sex to find excitement—and Li Xiaojiu just has that capital, and he doesn't even need to find it by himself. The woman herself will rush forward one after another!

Naturally, Wu Xu didn't want herself to compete with a group of women for Li Xiaojiu's favor. As a modern person, a modern person who used to have the same gender as Li Zhi, it was impossible for her to allow herself to be like a woman. Looking forward to a little favor from the emperor...

She should also show some of her own strength, so as to live up to the favor of the God of Time Traveling!

"Meiniang, what are you thinking?" Li Zhi turned his head and saw Wu Xu silently staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help being surprised.In his impression, Ah Wu was always carefree, and rarely showed such a dignified expression.

"I just thought, Jiulang, why do you always feel constrained when doing things..." Wu Xu said to Li Zhi seriously: "Actually, it's not because you are not capable enough, it's just that there is a problem with the current selection system..."

"Oh? Ah Wu, tell me..." Hearing this, Li Zhi immediately became interested. He always thought that Wu Xu's idea was wonderful and useful. Let's get down to business.

"Jiulang, do you still remember how the first emperor selected scholars? Also, your Ma Taifu was born in a poor family..." Wu Xu only cited Ma Zhou as an example, and Li Zhi's eyes changed.

"Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, official positions in the imperial court have been restricted by aristocratic families, but celebrities from poor families have no way to advance..." When Wu Xu talked about political affairs, his eyebrows were beaming, and he exuded a unique charm...

Li Zhi almost ignored Wu Xu's gorgeous appearance, only seeing her dazzling soul.

"I'm no better than the late emperor. My uncle makes the decisions in everything, and all the people I employ are recommended by the political affairs hall. I have no use for me..." Li Zhi couldn't help asking Wu Xu in a questioning tone, "Then, in your opinion See, how should I recruit wise men?"

Hearing this, Wu Xu couldn't help laughing, pointed at the void with his finger, blinked and said, "Isn't the establishment of the scientific examination system in the previous dynasty the solution?" The aristocratic family monopolized the selection of scholars from the court, but because of the obstruction of the nobles in Longxi, it failed to achieve any effect

A smart person knows everything, and Li Zhi immediately fell into deep thought after hearing Wu Xu's words.

This night, it was rare for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu not to turn into a hungry wolf, allowing Xiao Wu to have a good night's sleep.

A few days later, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an edict ordering Shumenxia, ​​the doctor of Guozi Sanguan and the bachelor of Hongwenguan to compile the "Five Classics of Justice" when they were examining Zheng Xiandi, laying the groundwork for the future reform of the imperial examination system...

This is a postscript, but the fact that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly asked to compile a book did not arouse strong reactions from the ministers of the DPRK and China. On the contrary, Sun Xianggong, the chief assistant, was very supportive and even asked to participate.

But very soon, Grand Captain Sun Xianggong was attracted by another matter.

It was Liang Guogong Fang Yizhi who finally collected all the evidence of Princess Gaoyang's collusion with King Jing Li Yuanjing for rebellion, and brought it to the grandson Xianggong again.

This time, the eldest grandson Xianggong did not keep silent anymore, and directly resorted to thunderous tactics, and secretly arrested King Jing Li Yuanjing, Princess Gaoyang and his son-in-law Fang Yiai, Princess Baling and his son-in-law Chai Lingwu and Danyang secretly. Princess Xue Wanche.

It was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had just visited the residences of several princesses in Chang'an, including Princess Gaoyang and Princess Cheng, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu specially stayed to attend the banquet.

Now, a detailed report on Princess Gaoyang's rebellion suddenly appeared on His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's desk...

Although Li Zhi knew in his heart that Uncle Changsun was about to act, he still had a look of surprise on his face.

But when Li Zhi read the investigation report carefully, his face turned from false surprise to real shock, and he couldn't help asking Changsun Wuji, "Why did King Wu and King Jiang Xia also..."

Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji interrupted: "The king of Wu, Li Ke, is in Wudi, but he has been secretly communicating with Chang'an. There are some words of resentment. Wudi wins people's hearts. ', is really the mastermind of treason!"

"But..." Of course it is impossible for Li Zhi not to be jealous of Wu Wang Li Ke, but his uncle's method of eradicating Sanlang is too simple and rude, right?

Afterwards, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, Shizhong Yuwenjie, Jiujiang Princess Concubine Zhishali and others were obviously innocent and framed up!

Li Zhi couldn't help frowning, and said: "This case is of great importance, I ask my uncle to review it strictly, and we must not wrong the innocent..."

King Jing Li Yuanjing and Princess Gaoyang have the intention of rebellion, but he believes it.

The evidence provided by Fang Yizhi listed in great detail that Princess Gaoyang and his wife had secret talks with certain people in the Princess Mansion or King Jing Mansion on a certain day in a certain year, slandering the government, slandering the monarch and other outrageous remarks...

There is another item that also aroused Li Zhi's anger, that is, Princess Gaoyang once recruited Hu monks and Taoist priests in the princess mansion to perform divination to guess the personnel in the palace.

And Princess Gaoyang did these witchcraft activities around the time when Wu Xu gave birth to Xiao Wulang and Xiao Sanniang...

Based on this alone, Li Zhi wished to cut Princess Gaoyang into pieces.

And Princess Gao Yang actually confessed to the secret talks and divination.

As for Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law's bereaved love, she kept trying to contact Li Tai, king of Qi in Yuanzhao Mausoleum's palace, and even secretly raised dead soldiers in an attempt to rescue Li Tai...

Naturally, these three people deserved to die, and it was impossible for Li Zhi to say a word for them.

As for the King of Wu, Li Zhi didn't believe that he would not have the intention of arrogating cross country, but now he has voluntarily returned to the feudal land, and the people are very prestigious, how can he deal with it casually? !

What's more, people like Li Daozong and Yu Wenjie clearly have nothing to do with the above-mentioned people, but just disagree with his uncle's political views. It's not good to be accused of treason at will...

Li Zhi still had to say something, but Changsun Wuji had already said forcefully: "Sage, the matter of rebellion is so important, how dare the old officials ignore it?! Now the results are all obtained by the old officials' careful investigation and painstaking efforts. How can there be any injustices and innocent things?" ?”

In a word, this is the iron case!

Li Zhimo was silent for a long time, and finally said stubbornly: "I want to try this case myself!" It was true that he wanted to kill Princess Gaoyang and his wife, but what Changsun Wuji did made him feel chills!

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji also has his own plans. He is now at the age of knowing his destiny. According to the average life expectancy of their eldest grandson's family, he is already very old, and he doesn't know how many more years he will be able to assist His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

When he was alive, he could barely suppress some nobles in the Li clan who threatened Li Zhi. If he died unfortunately, his sons would be useless, and his subordinate Chu Suiliang could not be alone. No, Li Ji is another warrior who only knows how to march and fight...

At that time, what should Kuro do?

Now Princess Gaoyang's treasonous plot is a good opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers that may harm Jiulang in the court!

Changsun Wuji felt that even if he would bear the notoriety of iron and blood, he would not hesitate!

"If the sage insists on having a trial in person, the old minister has nothing to say, but if the crime of treason is not severely punished, the prestige of the sage will be damaged. Please be careful..." Changsun Wuji reminded his nephew expressionlessly. road.

"I will make my own decision on this matter..." Li Zhi's face was very ugly, he never thought that there would be such a big rift in the alliance between himself and his uncle because of this case.

Just when the atmosphere between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji became extremely tense, an urgent report came from outside the hall.

"Report to the sage, King Qi is dead!"

"What?!" Li Zhi stood up in shock when he heard the words, while Sun Wuji, the elder who sat down, kept his face secretive, as if he was not surprised by the news at all.
