Chapter Ninety-Two: Lifting Weights Like Light
These things, if Su Dawei knew about these things a few years ago, he would not have thought of so much.
But now that he is in charge of the Ducha Temple, he has an increasing understanding of the operation of the Tang Dynasty official system.
I also know more inside information and details.
understands that Princess Gaoyang sued the house for her death, what a small probability event this is.
Time, place, and people are all indispensable.
Therefore, it is more certain that behind this, there is an invisible force pushing it.
An Wensheng listened to what Su Dawei said, was silent for a moment, and hesitated: "Even if it is as you said, Your Majesty has ...... Even if Gao Yang did this, it was the eldest grandson Wuji who held the power of the court at that time, and it was not good for His Majesty to do so, but it made the eldest grandson sweep away the court heroes and the clan. ”
"You're right, on the surface, it does contribute to the prestige of Eldest Sun Wuji, but there is a problem......"
Su Dawei's voice was calm, obviously very thoughtful.
"At the beginning, 'Abolish Wang Liwu', except for Guan Longmen and the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, there was almost no other resistance in the court, do you think it is normal?"
"Huh?" An Wensheng's slender eyes widened suddenly, and a strange light erupted from them.
"After the abolition of such a big matter, it stands to reason that the clan should be able to ask, but in the whole incident, the royal family was almost speechless, why is this?"
“……”
"Among the famous generals who are still alive in the clan, the one with the most military achievements is Taichangqing Li Daozong, the longest among Gaozu's sons Situ Li Yuanjing, and the longest among Taizong's sons is Sikong Li Ke, these three people are the three most powerful and prestigious in the clan.
Originally, His Majesty wanted to 'abolish Wang Liwu', and the three of them were the most excited.
With the three of them, plus the chief captain Sun Wuji, the highest officials of the Tang Dynasty, Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei gathered, it was impossible to establish martial arts. ”
An Wensheng's Adam's apple squirmed slightly, unable to speak.
Abolish the king and queen, and the earth-shaking thing of Liwu Meiniang, the biggest obstacle should have been the clan.
But the three clans were all killed by the eldest grandson Wuji in the rebellion case.
Think about it this way......
If you want to say that there is no cat in it, who can believe it?
The good thing is that Li Zhi can get it, and the pot is carried by the eldest grandson Wuji.
If you follow the logic of Gao Yang's incident, will there be Li Zhi behind, holding the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji and saying affectionately: "Uncle...... Help the pheasant slaves. ”
"Aside from the clan, who was the most powerful of the generals at that time?"
Su Dawei asked.
An Wensheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Taizong once said in his later years that when he was a famous general, only Li Tao, Jiangxia Wang Daozong, and Wan Che were the only generals. ”
"Yes, that's right."
Su Dawei bowed.
An Wensheng felt that his throat was blocked again.
In addition to Li Tao, who expressed his support for Li Zhi very early, the other two were also killed by the eldest grandson Wuji in the rebellion case.
Think about it a little deeper, except for Tang Jiang, what about the naturalized Hu General?
The general of the left opera guard, the horse and the captain, lost his thinking power, and sat in the traffic with the house widow, and flowed to the south of the Lingnan.
A case of rebellion eliminated the people who were most likely to threaten Li Zhi among the clan and generals.
And what about Wenchen?
Wei Weiqing Xu Jingzong, Imperial History Doctor Cui Yixuan, Imperial History Zhongcheng Yuan Gongyu, Zhongshu Sheren Li Yifu, Zhongshu Sheren Wang Dejian, Dali Temple Zhenghou Shanye, these six people were rewarded.
Among these people, it seems that the officials are not big or small, and they belong to the middle and upper ranks.
Some of them are only one or two steps away from becoming prime ministers.
In October of the sixth year of Yonghui, hundreds of officials asked for the establishment of the Middle Palace, that is, the establishment of Wu Meiniang as the queen.
"Why is this happening?"
An Wensheng was silent for a long time and held back a sentence.
He was very puzzled: "At that time, the center was controlled by the eldest grandson Wuji, which can be described as a monstrous power, why did the ministers go to the table to ask for the military queen after removing the clan and famous generals?" ”
"Because Wenchen was separated from the eldest grandson Wuji at that time."
Su Dawei smiled, but there was some coldness in his smile.
"Don't say it's you, I've only figured it out in the last few days......"
He stretched out his hand, took the remnant of wine in front of him in his hand, lifted it to drink, brought it to his mouth and put it down.
"Do you know what Fang Xuanling means to Datang?"
"Phase?"
At that time, the thieves and thieves were leveled, everyone competed for the golden treasure, Xuan Ling was the first to collect the characters, to the shogunate, and there were strategists and fierce generals, and they were secretly tied to each other, each with their own lethality.
—— "Zhenguan Political Leaders, Volume II. On Ren Xian
"From the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling is to collect talents for Taizong, similar to Xiao He of the Han Dynasty, after Taizong ascended the throne, it was also Fang Xuanling who presided over the abolition of redundant officials, and the rest of the people owe him a favor."
An Wensheng nodded slowly, his slender eyes narrowed slightly: "I have heard a little about this matter, Zhenguan has been for three years, Taizong once called Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui: the public is a servant, when the sage is widely sought, and he is appointed with his talents, and the position of prime minister is also."
Fang Xiang has been in power for more than 20 years and has been recruiting talents. ”
"Fang Xuanling has been the left servant for more than 20 years, and the right servant is constantly changing, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Gao Shilian, etc., the longest of which is Gao Shilian, who has been doing it for five years."
Su Dawei's words are to the point.
An Wensheng understood.
In the past 20 years, Fang Xuanling has held the personnel power of Datang, how deep does this have to be contacted, and how much kindness will it be?
"And Fang Xuanling passed away, and his successors have also received his kindness, but the Fang family was almost destroyed by the eldest grandson Wuji in the rebellion case, do you think, can the eldest grandson Wuji still be stable?"
"Uh, this matter, how can the eldest grandson Wuji ......?"
"He didn't expect, or rather, he was too proud, he didn't think that His Majesty would grow up so fast, and he didn't think that getting rid of the Fang family would have such a big impact on him, especially since he and Fang Xuanling already had an old grudge, which can be regarded as a conspiracy."
An Wensheng frowned slightly, and put himself in his shoes, if he was in the position of the eldest grandson Wuji, the always well-behaved nephew emperor, Li Zhi begged himself, and it was a case of rebellion, and the object was still the descendants of Fang Xuanling, who had old grudges with him.
With both public and private affairs, this case will be handled.
Expanding some of the striking surface is also a matter of convenience.
Even if he knew that he would offend some officials, he was not afraid at all in the position of the eldest grandson Wuji at that time.
Thinking of this, An Wensheng touched his forehead with palpitations.
"But the eldest grandson Wuji is in a high position, and he must also have diehards, how could he fall so quickly?"
If you start talking to Su Dawei, An Wensheng is still a little unimpressed.
Now he is really lowering his body and asking Su Dawei for advice.
People grow.
Su Da's vision and knowledge at this time have surpassed him.
"Do you remember the last words of Empress Eldest Sun? It has been said that Fang Xuanling can be reused, and Wuji should be used with caution.
Since the second year of Zhenguan, the right servant of the eldest grandson Wuji was transferred to the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, and later became the governor of Situ, Sikong, and Yaoling Yangzhou, but he has not been in real power.
This situation was not until the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, when the eldest grandson Wuji was awarded the order to inspect the school and save trouble under the Zhishang Shumen.
After the death of Ma Zhou, the eldest grandson, Wuji, gained the power of the three provinces.
Therefore, the eldest grandson did not take power until the end of Zhenguan, and he had no chance to cultivate too many cronies.
His advantage is the chief minister, His Majesty's uncle, he is not too far from the court, but he has never been too close.
In this case, he moved the Fang family, that is, the foundation was shaken.
Then those hundred officials turned away from him and turned to His Majesty, which is reasonable. ”
After Su Dawei finished speaking, he finally drank the cup of residual wine and turned the cup upside down on the ground.
"What do you think?"
"If so...... If it is really His Majesty who is planning behind his back, this scheming method really has an unpredictable opportunity. ”
An Wensheng smiled bitterly.
His white face was full of gray, and his cheeks were a little stiff.
What a powerful person does is not necessarily a clever method or a treacherous layout.
Just look at the end result.
Like Li Zhi, lifting weights lightly, using strength to turn the complicated situation into his favor, this is not a kind of cleverness.
"I'm somewhat convinced now."
An Wensheng pondered for a moment and said: "The matter of Fang's bereavement has hit the clan, the generals, the Hu generals, the Fang family, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, the only ones who benefit are His Majesty and the Empress Wu. ”
After a pause, he looked at Su Dawei: "Do you think this matter, is there a martial queen who is giving His Majesty an idea?" ”
"How do I know that?"
Su Dawei glanced at him: "What I said is all in the dossier, it is clearly written, and it is a little scrutinized, as for what happened in His Majesty's harem, I didn't open my eyes." ”
An Wensheng patted his thigh and sighed: "I used to think that you didn't know anything about government affairs, but now you should be impressed by the three days." ”
"It's just information asymmetry."
Su Dawei didn't think there was anything to boast about: "In the Ducha Temple, collect information from all over the world, as long as you want to check, you can know a little more than others." ”
"What letter...... Cease? ”
An Wensheng touched his fat cheeks, which were a little stiff, and his big face was now a little bloody.
His eyes flashed: "I listened too much just now, what does it have to do with what you said so much?" ”
"It's a big deal......"
Su Dawei's dark face showed complicated emotions in his eyes.
"With what happened last time, if you look at Shangguanyi's case this time, who will benefit?"
"Uh...... Your Majesty. ”
Shangguan Yi was executed, and a large number of gate lords and nobles were suppressed.
The family had just emerged, and they wanted to resurrect and control the center of the court, but they were ruthlessly suppressed by Li Zhi.
As for Wu Meiniang, although the rear position was retained, some of the people who showed their heads under her were also implicated and knocked out.
Li Yifu was executed.
Wu Shun died inexplicably.
Helan Minzhi also lost ground because of this.
Wu Meiniang herself was also beaten off her arrogance, and she had to lower her posture and gather her minions.
Judging from this result, the biggest benefit still belongs to Li Zhi.
"One thing, in the end, whoever gains will be the biggest suspect."
Su Dawei muttered to himself, raised his dark brows, and said to An Wensheng: "I was also a fan of the authorities at that time, since Your Majesty has no intention of abolishing the prince, how can he use force?" ”
An Wensheng nodded: "That's right, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is more expensive than the mother."
His Majesty has spent countless efforts on the crown prince, and even if the prince is seriously ill, he still loves him and does not have the slightest intention of alienation.
And with His Majesty's body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such energy to cultivate a prince again. ”
"So Your Majesty didn't really want to abolish the military queen from the beginning......"
Su Dawei's fingers tapped lightly around the campfire, as if playing.
"If you talk about acting, Your Majesty is an actor-level, he doesn't do anything, he doesn't say anything, he makes the people below excited, and they jump out one by one, and finally they are bulldozed by His Majesty.
The court reshuffles the balance, and in a short period of time, whether it is the family gate valve or the martial queen, they can only be obedient people. ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
An Wensheng stroked his palm and said, "Your Majesty really deserves to be the son of Taizong." ”
His words changed sharply and returned to the original topic.
"But next, Ami, what are you going to do? No matter how powerful Your Majesty is, in his physical condition, we have to make a long-term plan, the prince, do you want to ......?"
