[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 24 Queen 12

The officials present are naturally not like little deer or white rabbit if they can reach their current status.

Before seeing the "God Turtle" in front of them, all the officials in Luozhou had already guessed that the "God Turtle", just like the officials in Yizhou and other places who claimed to see the "Shenlong", was just a man-made auspicious auspiciousness, used to curry favor It's just the emperor's plaything!

These people originally scolded Jia Dunshi for being a good and honest official, but they also started such a trick of flattery. It's really shameful!

But what they were thinking at the same time was: Why didn't they think of using Luoshui as an auspicious sign of "The Turtle Offers Pictures and Texts"?

Envy, envy, hate, is there any?

But after these people saw the picture and text on the back of the stone turtle clearly, no matter how much they thought about it, it disappeared, leaving only a chill...

What kind of auspicious fetish is this? This is clearly a game set up deliberately by someone!

What's 'The Virgin Mary is coming, the emperor's industry will be forever'?

These words are ostensibly praising the Empress Dowager, but in fact, don’t they put the Empress Dowager’s status above the Emperor’s…

After the baptism of the last "edict to pass on the throne" incident, the officials in Luozhou are now more cautious. Who knows if the prophecy on the stone turtle is a trap!

But the word 'Holy Mother' shining brightly on it cannot be avoided no matter what.

When the emperor asked Xiao Li Xianggong, who had always been well versed in the mind of the second sage, to explain the prophecy on the stone turtle, everyone actually breathed a sigh of relief.

To find out the emperor's mind, who else is more suitable than Mr. Li.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Li Hong's appearance has undergone many changes in the past two years, and with the young lady by his side, the officials present did not think of his identity for a while.

And after hearing what the young man said, the emperor didn't even scold him.

Everyone thought they had guessed what the emperor was thinking, and echoed the young man's words one after another, pushing all the credit for the empress to the emperor.

But now that Mr. Li opened his mouth, everyone couldn't help but 'thump' in their hearts.

Did they guess the Sacred Heart wrong? !

After Mr. Li boasted about the achievements of the Queen of Heaven, he fell silent again.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's expression is obviously much better than when everyone praised him just now, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "The achievements of the Queen of Heaven are far more than that..."

The implication is that I want Mr. Li to say a few more good things about Mrs. Tianhou.

How can everyone not understand at this time.

There is probably no one in the Tang Dynasty who doesn't know how much His Majesty the Emperor loves Tianhou's wife. Since Tianhou entered the Taiji Palace, the children under the Emperor's knees have never been pregnant by the second person.

The harem is nothing more than a fake, and it even pulls the queen from behind the scenes to the front court, and establishes her as the "two saints".

These are unprecedented moves.

Now, Mr. Li suddenly mentioned the newly revised Buddhist scripture "Dayun Sutra"...

Could it be that the previously rumored "Edict of Inheriting the Throne" was not a lie by Shangguanyi?

The female emperor or something is actually not a shocking thing to the officials of Tang Dynasty today.

Not to mention, in the Yonghui period, there was a "Wenjia Emperor" Chen Shuozhen who proclaimed himself emperor, and there were several female protagonists in each of the three kingdoms of Liaodong.

Even the country of Wa, before the country was destroyed, was once proclaimed by the queen, and was proclaimed emperor twice.

The only thing that everyone can't accept is not that there will be a female emperor in the middle school, but that the emperor is still alive, but he has the idea of ​​passing on the throne.

Previously, Shangguanyi and others were wiped as whiteboards because of their strong remonstrance, and a lot of senior officials lost their positions due to exhaustion.

The Queen of Heaven was also furious, and went to Chang'an to eradicate dissidents, but she hasn't come back yet!

Now that the emperor suddenly made such a move, should he go along with it or oppose it?

Everyone looked at Mr. Li in unison.

Li Sanlang's expression remained unchanged, and suddenly he knelt down and said: "The emperor's holy candle illuminates, but there is a metaphor, the ministers and others can only follow each other wholeheartedly, there is no other way..."

As soon as his words fell, the presiding abbot of Longma Temple and a group of accompanying monks also knelt down, shouting the emperor's sage and so on.

For a moment, except for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, the rest of the people standing still had different expressions and were at a loss.

============================ Chang'an Dividing Line ======================== ==============

Just here in Luozhou, the oracle of "The Virgin's Advent, the Emperor's Industry will be Prosperous" is spreading like a raging fire, and even "Luoyang Evening News" and other authoritative media and newspapers have reported the miracle of "Luoshui out of Luoshui to offer a picture of the river". when.

Xiao Wu, who is far away in Chang'an, is so busy, how can he have time to pay attention to gossip? !

Originally, Wu Xu planned to rush back to Luoyang after holding the full moon banquet for the third generation of their old Wu family.

Unexpectedly, after the luggage was packed, there was news of the death of the former crown prince Yu Zhining.

Wu Xu had to postpone her return to the Eastern Capital, and stayed in Chang'an to deal with the affairs of the four-term old teacher of the Eastern Palace.

In fact, Yu Zhining's death is not too unacceptable.

As early as the fourth year of Xianqing, old man Yu asked to retire due to his old age and infirmity, but at that time His Majesty Li Xiaojiu needed him as a buffer to fight against the group of uncle Guo and Prime Minister Chu Suiliang, so old man Yu was kept in office.

When Li Hong became the crown prince, Mr. Yu still held the position of Taifu of the East Palace, just because he kept a neutral attitude in the process of abolishing the empress and did not cause trouble for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

However, Mr. Yu's health was getting worse and worse, and he had to ask for retirement again.

However, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, who was planning to toss out the concept of "Second Sage", would not agree, but just threw Xu Jingzong to the East Palace as the young master, and still retained the honorary status of the old man.

But last year, the East Palace was displaced again, and Mr. Yu finally couldn't bear the grief and fell ill.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had no choice but to agree to his resignation.

Now that the news of old man Yu's death came, it was within Wu Xu's expectation.

Speaking of it, this old man was tossed to death by three generations of Li's father and son. Wu Xu felt that it was necessary to do this matter of honor and mourning after death.

The empire will not treat heroes badly, and the less they can treat heroes badly.

Mr. Yu's funeral must not be inferior to that of Cui Dunli before.

"...Pursuing Doctor Guanglu, Prince Taishi..." Wu Xu looked at the funeral ceremony one by one, and said to Li Xian, "Although Yu Xianggong is not your Taifu, after all, he did take care of your father and you with all his heart. Brother, you should be the one to pay the sacrifice..."

"Yes..." Li Xian replied respectfully from the side: "Don't worry, Ma'am, I know what to do."

Wu Xu sighed after hearing the words: "It's the country's misfortune that the officials of Yuanbi withered!"

The old officials during Li Er's administration withered one by one, most of the hard-core officials in the court were over sixty years old, and most of the young talents trained by Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu were still engaged in grassroots construction in the local area, and they couldn't all be summoned at once. Come to the center.

Even if it is the cleansing of the officialdom this time, at most it will replace some aristocratic children with poor abilities and poor abilities. There are really not many talents who can be replaced...

The lack of talent in the central government, and the fact that her family's Erlang's status is not stable enough, Wu Xu suddenly felt that the day she wanted to live without doing anything was simply far away...

"Don't worry, Auntie. There are quite a lot of officials in Chang'an and Luozhou. Although they are not as respected as Yu Xianggong, they are still capable people and suitable for promotion..." After Li Xian became a prince in this life, he put all his thoughts on In order to assist his parents in promoting young talents, he also experienced disaster relief, suppression of thieves, and clean-up of the officialdom. He finally understood: what is a loyal minister and good minister, what is the reason for Li's Sheji, but they are all a group of people fighting for power and profit. That's all!

The real pure minister...

Loyalty comes first, but talent is equally important!

"Erlang..." Wu Xu looked much better after hearing Li Xian's words, "Actually, I intend to let you preside over this promotion..."

Wu Xu likes hard-working officials, and in the past few years, he has attracted many low-level officials with excellent official reputations to Yongzhou and Luozhou.

Li Xian's suggestion fell on Wu Xu's heart.

Nowadays, Zhang Wenguan and others in Zhengshitang have worked in the local government for many years before entering the central government. They are much more capable in their actions than the family officials who have been in the central government for many years...

She and Li Xiaojiu have planned for many years to change the blood of the court, and they managed to kill a bunch of old stubborn people, even demoted and cut away those diehard fans, and took advantage of the natural disaster to kill a lot of people who did nothing. People, now is a good opportunity to place a confidant in control of the government.

"Aniang..." Li Xian never imagined that his Aniang would be willing to give him this opportunity.

Wu Xu waved his hand, not looking at Li Xian's surprised expression, and said, "You understand your father's physical condition..."

"Yes." Li Xian replied with a gloomy voice.

In the previous life, my father was overly sad because of the sudden death of my brother, and fell into a coma several times, and almost followed him. If it weren't for my mother's tough wrists at that time, the court would not know what kind of chaos it would have been...

In this life, elder brother didn't die, but father's health suddenly became so bad, as if he had given all his anger to elder brother.

Li Xian was really worried, because the change of A Niang and him also changed the fate of Dad...

Even so, he still had to comfort Wu Xu, who was always worried.

"Father is the true son of the Tang Dynasty, with the help of God, you don't have to worry too much, mother..."

Wu Xu shook her head, and said, "Your father's illness can only be recuperated, and he can't do anything to worry about..."

"Originally, I planned to persuade your father to abdicate when Da Lang was crowned, but who knew that so many things happened later..."

When Wu Xu said this, he couldn't help sighing again, the so-called man is not as good as God, probably that's how it is.

After all, Da Lang has escaped from the shackles of the throne, but what will Li Xiaojiu do?

And Li Xian couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

He never thought that his mother would be able to weaken her power to such an extent. If her elder brother hadn't died, wouldn't the person sitting in the Zichen Palace now be...

Thinking of this, Li Xian could no longer maintain his composure,

"Aniang, you, haven't you ever thought about..." Do you rule the world?

When Wu Xu heard the words, he immediately guessed what he had said, and couldn't help showing surprise on his face: "How can you think that there are really people who are indifferent to fame and fortune in this world?!"

"Of course I want to be emperor!"
