[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 13

Compared with his father, Li Er, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is loved by all civil and military officials in terms of temperament and administrative methods.

This is a real benevolent gentleman!

Moreover, regardless of his majesty's frail appearance, his martial arts have far surpassed that of Emperor Taizong Gaozu. Not only did he win Goguryeo, a tough bone that even Emperor Sui Yang and Taizong could not chew, but he also unified the Eastern Islands and became a veritable king. Overlord of the East.

This achievement alone is enough to be famous forever!

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were all honored.

Afterwards, the collection of Tuyuhun and the flattening of Tubo made all the ministers respect His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to the extreme!

Such a great emperor through the ages, even if he is called the "emperor" is a matter of course!

However, no matter how many advantages His Majesty Li Xiaojiu has, it still cannot change that he is the son of His Majesty Li Er, Emperor Fengfeng.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu seldom suffers from convulsions, but that doesn't mean he won't suffer from convulsions.

First of all, Tianhou conferred the posthumous title of the eldest daughter who had passed away for more than ten years on the occasion of posthumously posthumously titled the former prince Hong, with the posthumous title of 'Si', and all funeral ceremonies followed the princely system.

Later, Tianhou adopted a young lady who looked very similar to the old prince as her adopted daughter, and she was canonized as Princess Anding.

These two things were considered trivial, and what happened afterwards left the officials and people in Chang'an dumbfounded.

Just when Chang'an was deeply saddened by the sudden death of the prince, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly issued an order to detain all the vassal princes who went to Beijing for the funeral.

Not only that, but the commanders of several forbidden troops in Chang'an City were also wiped as a blank slate by Tianhou's order.

All the ministers in the court were relegated to varying degrees.

Except for the prime minister Li Ji who asked to "retire" on his own initiative, Li Yifu, Wei Shuyu, Changsun Quan, Xue Yuanchao, and Xu Yushi were all demoted from Chang'an, and Xu Jingzong was the only one left in the Zhengshitang.

The six servants of the Shangshu were also replaced, no matter which of them were the confidantes of the husband or the direct confidants of the second sage, none of them would not be replaced...

The replaced officials are almost all newcomers - not to say that they are young, but fresh faces who have never worked in the central government. In terms of official positions, these people are at most the top leaders of one state and one capital. Never did it!

How is this going to work?

Isn't His Majesty the emperor smoking? !

However, no one dared to raise any objections.

Don't you see, even the ministers of the Zhengshitang dare not say a word, and obediently go out to assassinate the history?

Those petty officials of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, what qualifications do you have to jump out and complain about your grievances?

Besides, the soldiers and horses in the entire Chang'an City are now in the hands of Tianhou. If His Majesty the Emperor is like me, Tianhou will not let the killer ignore him!

Thus, the official shake-up that had troubled Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu for many years was successfully completed.

Of course, the act of relegating Li Sanlang and the others is just a stopgap measure, and when the limelight passes, they will naturally be called back.

As for the unlucky Xu Jingzong, he was only teased by Wu Xu.

Who made him always want to jump up, let him be the monkey king this time, and enjoy the addiction of being the prime minister~~~~

The blood-changing operation lasted until the end of the seventh year of Xianqing.

Shangguanyi, the newly-appointed servant of the West Terrace, wrote to the Ersheng, thinking that the East Palace should be fixed early to secure the world.At the same time, the young Shangguan Langjun also hinted that there would be trouble if the vassal kings from all over the world were kept in the capital!

"If you put them back, there will be trouble!" Wu Xu couldn't help sneering when he saw Shangguanyi's words.

Li Xiaojiu on the side was also looking at the notebook carefully. The notebook he was holding was also presented by a rookie, but this one obviously looked at the problem much more deeply than Shangguanyi.

His surname is Zhang and his name is Wen Guan. He is the new Minister of Dongtai. He has been serving in the Liaodong Peninsula before. This time, he was directly transferred by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to be the Minister of Dongtai.

Zhang Shilang also mentioned the idea of ​​choosing the East Palace as soon as possible, but on the issue of the vassal king, this talented man expressed his approval of the detainment of the vassal king, and also suggested that it is best for the future canonization of the vassal king to be given to the noble and not to the land. To avoid the scourge of the separatist rule of the vassal kings since the Han Dynasty...

This idea is advanced enough!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but secretly amazed.

Seeing him like this, Wu Xu also picked up the servant's note to read it.

Then she was surprised too.

Zhang Wenguan’s suggestion is quite similar to the political system after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. All the nobles of the Eight Banners were not allowed to leave the capital, and all princes only had titles and salaries, but no fiefdoms...

This is a good idea, but if you really want to bring it up, then she and Li Xiaojiu will really offend everyone in the court!

The old princes of Li Tang's clan didn't swallow the two of them alive!

Li Xiaojiu's thinking was obviously similar to Wu Xu's. He saw Zhang Wenguan's idea at first, and his eyes lit up, but when he thought about it carefully, Li Zhi still shook his head.

Locking all the clan and royal families in the capital seems to be easy to control, but who knows if they will take the opportunity to collude with the imperial guards in Beijing to fight against encirclement and suppression? !

His father's "Xuanwu Gate Change" was a bloody lesson!

Therefore, the detainment of the vassal kings can only be temporary. After the Spring Festival, they still have to be released.

But before that, it is really time to think about the new prince.

After Dalang left, Erlang was the eldest son-in-law, and it should be undisputed that he should become the East Palace.

However, Li Xiaojiu always had a feeling of unreliability.

And after he told Wu Xu how he felt, Wu Xu also said: "I also can't understand this kid Erlang. Let him be the crown prince. There is no problem with his name, but I am a little uneasy..." No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't seem to have much interest in the crown prince!

"Then... let's see again..." In fact, the reason why Li Zhi hesitated was also because of what Ming Chongyan said to them when Dalang left.

He said that Dalang of his family has the appearance of an emperor but not the distinction of an emperor, and Erlang has neither the appearance nor the distinction of an emperor. If he insists, he will encounter accidents.On the contrary, Saburo and Shiro have the appearance of emperors, so they can be cultivated carefully.

Wu Xu couldn't believe it after hearing it.

But seeing Erlang's indifferent expression at that time, she was a little hesitant.

Therefore, the matter of Prince Lixin has been delayed.

In the spring of the eighth year of Xianqing, because of the death of the 'Emperor of Filial Piety', the whole country did not celebrate the New Year with great fanfare.

And before the big exchange of blood between the court and China, the ruthless methods of the two sages also made those vassal kings who stayed in the regular place a little trembling.

In general, this New Year, everyone is a bit aggrieved.

It wasn't until March of the eighth year of Xianqing, when Tianhou became pregnant again, that the atmosphere in Chang'an was freed from the depression.

In the same month, His Majesty the Emperor gave amnesty to the world, and ordered Chang'an and Sidu to re-inspect the prisons, inspect the grievances, and avoid indiscriminate killings.

Then came the month of the National Examination. His Majesty Li Xiaojiu visited the examination room of Chang'an University in person, and interviewed and admitted more than [-] talents.

In May, Tianhou's fetal position was stable, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu took his wife and son to Luoyang to escape the summer heat.

During this period, Wang Bo, the attendant of Pei Wang Li Xian, was demoted from Chang'an because he wrote a "Calling Letter", and some attendants under Pei Wang were also punished to varying degrees.

Officials who were optimistic about King Pei's entry into the East Palace could not help but hesitate.

His Royal Highness Pei Wang didn't care about these trifles at all, but devoted all his thoughts to rebuilding the Hebi Palace...

Then, the name of Hebi Palace was changed to 'Zhaoming Palace', the meaning of which is self-evident...

After the reconstruction of Zhaoming Palace was completed, Li Xian went to Zichen Palace to meet his aunt, expressing that he had figured it out.

As a result, classmate Li Xian knelt down to his mother as soon as he entered the door, but Wu Xu was taken aback.

"Erlang, what are you doing, get up!"

The left and right palace people hastily obeyed the Queen Mother's wishes and went to help King Pei, but they didn't want to be rejected by the latter.

"Aniang, just listen to me..." Li Xian's heart was very calm at this time, and he had even figured out many problems that had troubled him for two lifetimes.

For example, what made the relationship between him and A Niang tense, what made him doubt his own mother, and what made him want to kill his mother in a disobedient manner!

It turned out that he had been wrong all along...

"I know, my mother and father are quite disappointed with my performance..."

"It's a mistake, I beg my mother to forgive me!"

Wu Xu was a little confused by Li Xian's confession-like words.

It is true that she and Li Xiaojiu have always had high expectations for Erlang, but they are not to the point of being disappointed.

Erlang's temperament seems relatively indifferent, but his talent is by no means inferior to that of Dalang.

Moreover, Wu Xu personally thinks that Li Xian deliberately hides his clumsiness because he respects his elder brother very much, unlike her little Saburo, who is simply stupid and cute!

So, when Li Xian suddenly said something like this today, Wu Xu didn't know how to explain it.

She had no choice but to say: "Erlang, you have always done a good job, what is wrong? How can you forgive me? How can I be disappointed in you? Even your father, he has always liked you very much..."

Li Xian heard the words, but suddenly shed tears.

Wu Xu's words made the last bit of doubt in his heart disappear...

Back then, not long after brother passed away, his father began to fall ill and planned to abdicate to his mother. Li Xian only remembered how angry he was at that time!

But now that I think about it, the reason my father would do this is because he trusted his aunt, let his aunt ascend the throne and stabilize the political situation, and then smoothly transition the power to him, a very unstable prince!

But he failed his father and mother's painstaking efforts...

What Ming Chongyan said was that his father was warning him, but he listened to it and believed it, thinking that his mother was targeting him, and even the death of brother was blamed on her...

Thinking about it now, isn't that Gao Zheng who was always telling stories in his ears back then the eldest grandson's in-law?

He is so stupid!

She would rather believe the words of a villain than her own mother!

I also intentionally made a song like "Huangtai Melon Ci" to hurt A Niang's heart...

Seeing her son crying so painfully, Wu Xu didn't know what to do.

"Erlang, you, you don't cry... Men don't flick their tears... Uh, if you did something wrong before, just correct it... Uh, people are not sages and sages can do nothing, me and How could your daddy blame you?" Wu Xu comforted Li Xian incoherently, and with a wink, asked Awei to invite His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to come over.
