Chapter Ninety-One: The Emperor's Mind
An Wensheng's words came to an abrupt end at this point, and he did not continue.
However, Su Dawei heard the unfinished meaning of his words.
After these several political turmoils, Su Dawei was in an extremely embarrassing position, and he tried his best to move closer to Li Zhi to be the emperor's party, and the imprint of the Empress Wu on his body could not be washed away.
And the Empress Wu ......
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally lost power, and at most he became a queen mother.
This situation may come soon.
After all, as far as Li Zhi's physical condition is concerned, it really can't be optimistic.
Therefore, if Su Dawei wants to stabilize his own situation in the future turmoil, the best way is to bet on the prince's side in advance.
Bond with the prince and mix up the dragon's work.
Historically, almost all dynasties had the Son of Heaven still in the court, and his ministers began to secretly vote to the crown prince, or to other princes, and bet in advance.
It's not like those people are blind.
Naturally, there is a reason for it.
But in the current situation of Datang, even if he takes refuge in the prince......
It's also more pitted.
Li Hong's physical condition, who walks in front of him or Li Zhi, is really not necessarily.
Although the Tang Dynasty is extremely prosperous, all countries come to the dynasty, and the territory is 12 million square kilometers.
But the interior of Datang is in an extremely unstable state at this time.
At least in an uncertain state.
The biggest variable lies in Li Zhi and Li Hong's bodies.
Future change of power.
It is bound to provoke new upheavals.
At the beginning, Li Zhi used the "abolition of Wang Liwu" to suppress Guan Long and Shandong nobles.
Then more than ten years later, these aristocratic gate lords wanted to take the opportunity to abolish the military queen, resurrect the ashes, and regain power.
This is a historical necessity.
This time, the gate valve was pushed behind the back, which also exposed that some people couldn't hold it back.
Su Dawei pursed his lower lip slightly, looking at An Wensheng.
The latter naturally raised his glass.
The two have known each other for more than ten years and have a tacit understanding.
An Wensheng could see that Su Dawei didn't want to talk about this topic at this time.
Some things are still too sensitive.
Su Qingjie and Cheng Chuji secretly met their eyes.
Both of them sensed something, but they didn't say anything.
Only Yu Chi Baolin didn't realize it, she was still snorting loudly, and the wine was dry.
Su, Cheng and Wei Chi are brothers with Su Dawei, and they are also allies in terms of family background, and they have common interests and affection.
But when it comes to some sensitive topics, as a family of the Princes, it is one with the Tang Dynasty, no matter how the imperial power changes in the future.
As long as these Guogong families don't die, it is more than enough to be an idle nobleman.
Therefore, for the time being, there is no pressure from the grassroots like Su Dawei.
And the Anjia, not as good as those three? Belong to the more peripheral military aristocracy? The turmoil in the center of the imperial court had a great impact on their honor and disgrace? Moreover, An Wensheng has a closer relationship with Su Dawei.
Some words? Can the two say that there are other people present? But it's inconvenient.
……
Night drum three watches.
The embers of the campfire in the courtyard flickered.
Su Dawei walked back from outside the courtyard with steady steps.
An Wensheng was holding a wooden branch to stir the bonfire, when he heard a voice and looked up at him: "Everyone has been sent away?" ”
"All back? Tomorrow I have time to discuss business with them. ”
"Then I have to participate in the settlement of the family."
"Money junkies."
Su Dawei laughed and scolded? I remembered that when I started the whale oil lamp business at the beginning of the year, in order to raise money, Tuo An Wensheng sold paintings for himself.
Now it's different from the past, he doesn't have to worry about money.
"Do you have a lot of stuff in your head? I'm not as good as you in business. ”
An Wensheng generously admitted: "Do you make money? Don't be ashamed, anyway, if you talk about aristocratic etiquette, a hundred schools of poetry, and a subset of scriptures and history, you are far inferior to me? Everyone is half a pound and eight taels. ”
"God is so special."
Su Dawei snorted and sat down on the other end of the campfire.
Moved your feet at the same time? Kicked the tall dragon who was next to his feet and was drinking with his head up: "Let Jean." ”
"Hey."
The tall dragon moved his ass? put down the wine jar and a smile appeared on his face: "Now you can speak freely." ”
The smile on his face? Always feel a little wicked? Sometimes even with a touch of anger.
This is the former big leader of Fengyi Fang? The rivers and lakes that remained.
There is also the influence of ghosts in the bloodline.
Li Bo sat at the other end of the campfire, holding a small wine glass in his hand, just opposite to the tall dragon's thick wine jar.
Although the cup in his hand is small, he drinks very chicly, and when he raises his neck, the wine is dry.
The four of them sat around the campfire again.
"Pick up where you left off."
An Wensheng glanced at Su Dawei: "The current situation must be planned for the future, didn't you say that if you don't plan for eternity, it's not enough to plan for a while?" Your Majesty and the Crown Prince's health is worrying, and now there is an undercurrent surging in the court, you can avoid it once, and you may not be able to avoid the next time. ”
Li Bo stopped what he was doing and looked at Su Dawei.
Gao Dalong also wiped a handful of wine from his chin almost at the same time, his eyes flashed bloodshot, and he looked over.
Su Dawei said calmly: "The martial queen will not lose." ”
Calm words contain a strong sense of self-confidence.
In the past, he was still worried that the wings of butterflies would change history.
Or worry that a "weird" magical Tang Dynasty will be different from the history you know.
The incident after the abolition of Shangguan Yi made Su Dawei realize.
may be different in details, but in terms of major events, in this era, there is no Datang who knows him.
In that case, there is no need to worry about the future.
Follow Wu Meiniang and hug the thighs of the martial queen, and you will be invincible.
But these words cannot be explained to everyone here.
Because there is no reason for this, it comes entirely from his soul in later generations, and his grasp of the general trend of history.
Gao Dalong looked up at the sky, as if muttering to himself: "I don't know where your confidence comes from, but if it were me, I would never pin my hopes on others." ”
He lowered his head and said to Su Dawei: "If one day, you show your decline, I will leave." ”
"I know."
Su Dawei was not too surprised: "It's not just you, if there is danger on my side, everyone has a family and a mouth, so naturally we have to think about the family and the heirs." ”
Li Bo licked his lips on the side, and there was a complicated emotion in his eyes.
"Lang Jun, why don't you learn from the Zhuge family of the Three Kingdoms and bet in many ways?"
"Li Lang don't worry, I have my own consideration for this matter, if you have any ideas, or a good place to go, I will help you with a ride."
Su Dawei's gaze turned to Li Bo.
"I can go back to the Tang Dynasty, it all depends on Su Langjun's strength, Ke'er is your apprentice again, I, a grasshopper, live and die with the Su family."
Li Bo raised his wine glass and took a sip of himself: "No matter what happens in the future, I will guard the Ducha Temple for Su Langjun." ”
"I'm different."
Gao Dalong said in a deep voice: "The new Shaoqing over there in Ducha Temple is already in the air and squeezing out me, instead of making an ugly scene, it is better for me to leave by myself." ”
"Both."
Su Dawei nodded and said, "If Dahu doesn't want to continue in Ducha Temple, I can help him transfer back to Dali Temple." ”
"Thank you."
"Between us, why be polite."
After saying this, Su Dawei turned his head to An Wensheng, who had been silent, and said: "Wensheng, after some recent events, I have something I want to say to you in my heart, but I am worried that I will be a little taboo. ”
"Don't talk about it."
An Wensheng set aside the bonfire and glanced at him.
Seeing Su Dawei smiling at himself, he helplessly threw down the fire stick, clapped his hands and said: "If you want to say it, just say it, it can get out of your mouth and into my ears, anyway, when I get up to sleep, I forget everything, so I think it's a dream." ”
After speaking, An Wensheng glanced at Li Bo and Gao Dalong.
Gao Dalong lifted the wine jar and stood up: "I'll find a place to drink alone, and I won't get involved in your business." ”
Li Bo also got up and patted his shirt: "I'm going back too, if I don't return all night, my mother-in-law should complain again." ”
After the two left, An Wensheng's gaze turned to Su Dawei: "Say, what do you want to talk about?" ”
Su Dawei listened attentively and determined that within a radius of several miles, everything was silent, and insects were dormant.
Only then did he groan to An Wensheng: "Lao An, you say, what kind of person is Your Majesty?" ”
"Huh? Why do you ask? ”
An Wensheng's slender eyes opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"From this return to Chang'an, to the recent case of Shangguanyi and Li Yifu, I feel more and more ......."
Su Dawei hesitated for a moment and said: "If the Tang Dynasty is a chessboard, Shangguan Yi, Li Yifu, and Empress Wu are all chess pieces, Your Majesty is the one who plays chess." ”
"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes."
An Wensheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty's body bones, you say that he is in charge of military power, I believe it, you say that he can still play chess behind the scenes?" I'm afraid I don't have the energy. ”
"Yes, if this is true according to common sense, and even if you only look at the matter of Shangguanyi this time, Your Majesty was persecuted by his subordinates and by the Empress Wu...... As a last resort. ”
Su Dawei stared at the flames of the bonfire, and his voice gradually deepened.
"But there are some things, if you look at them together, you will find more ......"
"What?"
"You know, I am in charge of the Ducha Temple, and I can find a lot of information and files as long as I want to check them...... I'm still investigating Princess Gao Yang's affairs, and I accidentally turned to the file about Gao Yang in the secret file, do you know what I found? ”
An Wensheng didn't answer, but just looked at Su Dawei fixedly.
He found that Su Dawei's aura became darker and darker.
"The case of Fang Yiai's rebellion was issued in the third year of Yonghui, and His Majesty had visited Princess Gaoyang before the case......
Yonghui three years, winter and October Wuxu, fortunately with the eldest princess of An, and fortunately the eldest princess of Gaoyang, the same day back to the palace.
——"Old Tang Dynasty Book Gaozong Benji"
Before the rebellion case, Li Zhi ran to see Gao Yang, what was it for?
Princess Tong'an is Li Yuan's younger sister, and Li Zhi went to see her grandmother, which is reasonable.
But what to do there in Goyang?
Li Zhi didn't go to see the newly married princess Xincheng, or another sister princess Chengyang, but ran to see Gao Yang, which was very coincidental, and then the rebellion case came out.
Princess Gaoyang is the fuse, if it were not for Princess Gaoyang's lawsuit against Fang Zhizhi, at least this rebellion case would not have been lifted out so quickly.
So, the idea of suing Fang Zhizhi was Gao Yang's own whim, or was someone pointing out?
It should be noted that Fang Zhizhi was in Xizhou at the time, and he was not in Chang'an.
Gao Yang wants to sue Fang Zhizhi for indecency, so he can only wait for the Yuan Festival Fang Zhizhi to come back for the New Year, this short time window.
If you miss this time, you will have to wait another year.
To adjudicate a case is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.
Could it be, there is a possibility that when Li Zhi went to see Gao Yang, he said certain things, such as: You want to find a way to sue Fang Zhizhi, I will award you the title, rest assured, we are brothers and sisters, I don't help my relatives, what am I, don't you know?
Otherwise, Princess Gaoyang is crazy and uses her own name to sue Fang Zhizhi?
Unless you get your head down, normal people aren't so demented.
