[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

No.17 Chapter 07

In March of the sixth year of Yonghui, shortly after the Spring Festival holiday ended, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu urged the Ministry of Rites to hold a Yuanfu ceremony for Crown Prince Li Zhong, and asked Wu Zhaoyi personally about everything.

Li Zhong was very grateful, and after the solemn Yuanfu ceremony, he personally wrote a letter, expressing that his virtues were shallow and that he was the son of a concubine. He asked His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to confer Wu Zhaoyi as the empress, and he was willing to abdicate for the virtuous.

The appearance of this memorial can be described as earth-shattering, shocking all the civil and military officials in the court.

Especially the Baodong Palace Party headed by Changsun Wuji, they have calculated thousands of times, and they never calculated that the loopholes will come from the most backbone!

But Li Zhi read Li Zhong's memorial of "Ranging Xian", although he was very happy in his heart, but he refused on the face, and sent the king's servant to go to the East Palace to comfort Li Zhong, and gave him many good things.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's style left Changsun Wuji and the others speechless, and in the next big court, Nei Shi Sheren (Because of avoiding Prince Li Zhong, Zhongshu Sheren was changed to Nei Shi Sheren) Li Yifu was the first to attack, and wrote to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, saying that Wu Zhaoyi is virtuous and intelligent, has two sons, and should be canonized as a queen...

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Who doesn't know that the Zhengshitang headed by the eldest grandson firmly opposes the establishment of Wu Zhaoyi as the queen, and this little-known kid dares to risk the world's disgrace by jumping out to openly challenge the elder grandson!

Either this guy is an idiot who has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, or there is someone behind him!

Most of the civil and military people couldn't help but turn their eyes to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu who was sitting upright...

I heard that the young saint has been secretly talking to some young officials in the past few months, and Wu Zhaoyi's mother, Mrs. Zhou Guo, has also been active very frequently...

For those who are eager to hug the thigh of a saint, this is a good opportunity to stand out!

Therefore, in this hall full of foxes, there will be this strange phenomenon that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and you understand the root cause...

Changsun Wuji was so angry that his beard cocked up when he saw that such a hairless boy dared to oppose him in the court.

But Chu Suiliang ignored his demeanor, pointed at Li Yifu and cursed: "Who are you, dare to talk about the affairs of the Central Palace above the court?!"

Li Yifu said without being overbearing or humble: "Li Yifu, the neishi family of the minister, occupies the position of the upper fifth rank, and just happens to be able to participate in the government deliberations of the great court..."

When Changsun Wuji heard Li Yifu's name, his eyes flashed.

If he remembered correctly, this person was an old member of the Qi royal party who was personally selected by him to be demoted from the central government. He would never have thought that this person was so capable, and even got the protection of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu!

Changsun Wuji seldom opened his mouth in the court, and when he opened his mouth, things would definitely come true, but the atmosphere in the court today was really strange and tense, and he didn't know whether to speak or not.

And His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't remember to look at his uncle's face today as usual. When he saw Li Yifu's thug jumping out, he immediately opened his mouth to defend.

"Chu Xiang's words are wrong. Those who can stand in this court are all my ministers and officials of the Tang Dynasty. After the confrontation, such important matters will naturally have the right to speak. How can they be divided by rank?!"

Chu Suiliang was choked back immediately.

The second thug, Yuan Gongyu, Yushi Zhongcheng, also jumped out to echo His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, "What the sage said is true."

"The former kings and commoners who murdered concubines and emperor's heirs should be sentenced to capital punishment. The saints are benevolent and spare their lives, and they will not be implicated..." Yuan Gongyu first flattered His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, then shook his head and entered the topic: "The king's concubine deserves what he deserves, and he is not worthy of being the assistant of a saint. However, I think that the harem cannot be left without a master for a day, and I ask your majesty to set up the middle palace as soon as possible..."

"Then, according to the wishes of the Qing family, who should I appoint as queen?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu asked very cooperatively.

Yuan Gongyu is worthy of being a censor, and he doesn't need to draft a draft when he speaks nonsense: "The minister has heard that Wu Zhaoyi is virtuous and virtuous, benevolent and loving, and treats the palace people generously. Everyone in the palace praises him...Zhaoyi's literary talent Good, virtuous, authored

More than a dozen articles, they are both talented and virtuous, unparalleled in the world, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with Queen Wende..."

Lao Yuan's compliments to Wu Xu made all the civil and military officials feel that if Wu Zhaoyi was not established, it would be a loss to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, and a loss to the entire Tang Empire...

Even His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, who was seated above, was a little swayed by Yuan Gongyu's words, and was almost overwhelmed.

Wu Xu, who was sitting behind the beaded curtain on the throne and eavesdropping on the court meeting, had goose bumps all over her body: Shit!This Yuan Langjun's mouth is too powerful, Nima almost blows her into the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, and even Queen Wende is almost willing to bow down, is there any reason? !

No, this guy can't stay with me, otherwise I won't know if he fooled me one day ==

After Yuan Gongyu finished speaking, Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also echoed: "Yuan Zhongcheng is right, the veteran has also heard of Wu Zhaoyi's benevolence, especially for the crown prince, but the East Palace is necessary, Zhaoyi is always the first to send someone to deliver it. The lack of things, and good comfort..."

From Wu Xu's example of caring for the heirs of the harem, Lao Xu proves that Wu Xu is more suitable to be the mistress of the harem than the previous queens...

In the end, Li Yifu, who first proposed to appoint Wu Zhaoyi as empress, took out a large stack of papers and a copy of that day's "Chang'an Daily" from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and said in a loud voice: "I wish to say that the sage canonize Wu Zhaoyi." Since then, colleagues, subordinates, and even the people in Beijing have all supported and agreed. This is a letter of petition from all officials and people in Chang'an. Please the saint follow the public opinion and make Wu Zhaoyi his queen!"

Wang's servant hurriedly presented the two items presented by Li Yifu to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu listened to Li Yifu's words, and read the thick stack of papers and the editorial article on the front page of "Chang'an Daily" about Li Wu Zhaoyi as Empress, and he immediately smiled and was overjoyed.

Before, he instructed Li Yifu to deal with some officials, but he didn't expect this kid to be so talented that he actually made a 'petition for all people'!

He also got this thing in the newspaper, making most of the country know about it...

Regardless of whether the results of the investigation are true or not, with this 'petition', His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's immediate canonization of Wu Xu is a decision in line with public opinion!

This is really a blockbuster!

Public opinion is usually the best weapon used by ministers to persuade His Majesty the Emperor, but now His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is going to use it against the ministers of the Zhengshitang!

The faces of Changsun Wuji and others were extremely ugly.

Chu Suiliang's mind was quite clear, and he immediately found a loophole, and retorted loudly: "The matter of becoming an empress is related to the country, how can a sage decide at will based on a signature certificate that does not know whether it is true or not!"

"Sage, since you have abolished the empress, you should choose the daughter of the Mingmen family to be the master of the palace again. Why do you have to use a concubine as your wife, and you must establish Wu Zhaoyi?!"

What Chu Suiliang said was really hurtful, obviously he looked down on Wu Xu's family background.

Li Zhi couldn't help but sullen his face.

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong immediately stepped forward and said: "Mr. Chu's words are wrong. The sage promulgated a new law a few years ago and revised dozens of marriage laws. You are also one of the revisions. How could you forget it? Now we There is no rule in the laws of the Tang Dynasty that forbids the concubine of a good family to fill in the house!"

"Besides, since the sage came to the throne, he has reduced taxes many times, and the people are getting richer and richer. The farmer collects a few more buckets of rice and thinks about marrying a pleasing lady... The sage does not seek to choose beautiful women, extravagance and waste. Why not? Mr. Chu has repeatedly asked the sage to choose another noble daughter, could it be that he wants to recommend his own little lady?!"

What Old Xu said was really poisonous.

Mr. Chu’s family currently only has a youngest daughter, who is only a little over seven years old this year. It seems a little too early to recommend it to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu. =

Now not only Li Zhi was a little dumbfounded, even Wu Xu's face twitched when he heard it from behind the curtain.

But when Xu Jingzong said this, many ministers in the court still looked at Mr. Chu with a look of "so that's it".

Chu Suiliang was so angry that his face was flushed, his eyebrows were erected, and he said incoherently: "You are talking nonsense! I only care about the reputation of a saint. How can I be like a courtier like you who is full of dirty ideas! Do you think this old man is like you, just for a little money? Marry your sons and daughters to barbarians..."

Chu Xianggong is not easy to provoke, and he stabbed Xu Jingzong's sore foot as soon as he said it-Old Xu married one of his daughters to the son of the patriarch of a foreign tribe, but this matter was read in a book, which made him very angry. He was demoted from the central government. If His Majesty Li Xiaojiu hadn't remembered that he was an old man in the Eastern Palace, he might have died in the local office!

Xu Jingzong's complexion also became very ugly, and he said to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu very aggrieved: "The sage knows that even though the old minister was not rich in wealth back then, he was not so poor that he sold his daughter to make a living. How could Mr. Chu misbelieve rumors? , insulting the old minister like this!"

Before Li Zhi opened his mouth, Chu Suiliang was furious when he heard Xu Jingzong complained like this.

Changsun Wuji saw that the momentum was wrong, Chu Suiliang was completely led away by the other party, hurriedly got up and said: "Since the saint is determined to establish a new empress today, the old minister has no choice but to say a few words..."

As soon as the grandson Xianggong opened his mouth, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty held their breaths and concentrated, and even Li Zhi, who was sitting in the seat, felt a coercion rushing towards his face.

"Uncle, just tell me what you have to say..."

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others lightly with majestic eyes, and then slowly said: "Sage, you are so kind and upright, you will inevitably offend the saint, please forgive me!" Chu Suiliang gave it a hand.

"However, Suiliang has a good saying. The future is related to the country. It should not be ignored, and it should be extremely cautious!"

"I don't know if the sage still remembers the reason why the late emperor didn't set up Concubine Yang?" Changsun Xianggong stopped talking at this point, leaving infinite deep meaning for people to ponder...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.

Others may not understand what the eldest grandson is referring to for a while, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu understood his uncle's meaning in an instant!

His uncle is really good!

He actually reminded him of the matter of Concubine Yang and King Wu, and reminded him that if the uncles and others had not fought so hard to prevent his father from establishing Concubine Yang and King Wu, the king of Wu, Li Ke, would be on the throne now, not him, the former empress. Son of Li Zhi, right? !

And if he, the son of the Empress Yuan, fails to gain status, he will only be feared to death by the new emperor...

Could there be a person like Uncle who just finds a crime of treason and kills him before giving up? !

This example is really good!

pity…………

The Wang family doesn't have any legitimate sons, so how could there be a situation like him?

Uncle so resolutely opposes Li Awu, could it be because of the crown prince? !

As soon as Li Zhi thought that his only eldest son had become the object of betting by his uncle's grandson, he felt a rush of anger straight to his forehead, his dark eyes suddenly deepened, and a black mist suddenly rose in front of his eyes, gradually making him unable to see anything... ^

Wu Xu heard Li Xiaojiu's sudden quietness from behind the curtain, so she couldn't help standing up.

But at this time, Chu Suiliang wanted to add fuel to the flames: "Concubine Yang in the previous dynasty was the princess of the Sui Dynasty, and the previous emperor did not make her a successor. It is well known that Wu Zhaoyi was the previous emperor. Why cover the eyes and ears of the world?! After ten thousand generations, how should the descendants proclaim this matter?"

"shut up!"

The author has something to say: Lao Chu hit Li Xiaojiu's sore foot =. =
