Chapter 289 Li Zhi's determination to strike
Obviously, Li Zhi's description is very suitable for the old Ming King's state of mind at this time, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth:
"It's good to have your words! It's not that my cheap grandfather pretends to be unfathomable, but because, at least for now, no one understands the deeper implications. Do you think a king of a country is so easy to be? The struggle at the core level of imperial power is far more treacherous than in the world, and who can hold the imperial power for decades in this environment, which one is not a peerless and intelligent person? Therefore, how many people in the world can easily guess what the saints want to deliberately hide today? ”
King Ming deeply understood his father's words, "It is not only the founding emperor who won the world with extraordinary talent and wisdom, but also the talent of ten thousand times, becoming the king of ten thousand times, and completing the cycle of life and death of a dynasty." Sometimes, in addition to keen political acumen and ingenuity, the first thing to do is self-discipline and guard against arrogance and rashness, so that they can achieve fame and go down in history together with the founding emperor. ”
Li Zhixin was not a little disapproving, he knew before him, and according to historical records, Tang Gaozong was a much-criticized unknown king.
As early as when he was still the crown prince, he had an affair with the talented Wu family of Taizong, who was four years older than him; After the death of Tang Taizong, the Wu family entered the Ganye Temple to cut her hair as a nun according to the example of the Tang Harem, but this woman took the opportunity to bewitch Tang Gaozong, and was called to accept it as Zhaoyi and re-emerge from the mountain.
And Wu Zetian's return to the palace, since then the subsequent history has undergone great changes, this person's treacherous and insidious, framed the then Queen Mother Wang and her mother Wei State Lady Liu, led Gaozong to depose the Wang family, Xiao Shufei are all concubines, imprisoned in the palace, Wang's half-mother, Xiao Shufei's people are all exiled to Lingnan.
The next abolition of Wang Liwu and the replacement of the queen have gone beyond the scope of the emperor's family affairs, Gaozong's uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, who has participated in many military and political decisions of Taizong, and Chu Suiliang, who was regarded as a loyal martyr by Taizong, was demoted by Gaozong because of his opposition.
Gaozong's courage to take the risk of disobeying the orders of the first emperor, breaking the threat of the power of the scholars, and directly seizing the political power is a concrete manifestation of his unwillingness to be at the mercy of others and daring to act, and it is impossible for a cowardly emperor to have this kind of courage and action.
But since then, because of Wu Zetian, the royal family surnamed Li has almost been wiped out from the map of China, in Li Zhi's view, Gaozong is after a long illness, Wu Zetian further grasped the power, on the one hand, she excluded dissidents and cleared the obstacles on the political road; On the one hand, it organizes forces and cultivates private forces to prepare for its own further rise to power.
Seeing that the Wu clan was gaining momentum step by step, Gaozong had time to reflect on all this, and then really forced him to have the powerful wisdom and imperial strategy, although it was too late, but he did have considerable political talent, which is also undoubted.
As early as seven years ago, the government of Gaozong mainly pretended to discuss with the Wu clan to deal with it, but he still held real power and skillfully used clever hands, so that Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, who were supporters of Empress Wu, fell one after another.
The political enemies and family members of the Empress Wu paid homage to the prime minister, and Wang Fangyi, the brother of the Empress Wang, was also appointed, and drafted the "Internal Training" and "External Relatives Commandment" to suppress the Wu family from making waves.
The Empress Wu was helpless about this, and then she left Luoyang to do her best to build her own power and build a solid foundation for usurping the throne and seeking imperial power in the future.
Therefore, Li Zhi's treatment of him is more out of his own development considerations, and Gaozong can be called a miserable second half of his life, and poor people must have something to hate, this is his truest evaluation of Gaozong.
But others did not have his prophetic ability, and they did not know that in the past 21 years, Gaozong's huge attacks in politics, economy, military, and society have a great relationship with Wu Zetian.
Therefore, their understanding of Gaozong is far less insightful than that of Li Zhi.
However, Li Zhi didn't want to express it, because Gayin Gaozong finally realized that he had lost his way, and laid out everything he could use for the only two remaining princes.
Li Zhi is happy to be his pawn, and Gaozong is indeed not thin on him, and because of his appearance, he suppressed the huge illness and torture for him, so he had the energy to arrange the multi-year plan one by one.
Therefore, at this time, Li Zhi didn't want to, and couldn't bear to expose everything about him, let others think of this terminally ill old man, he only needed to make his father-in-law, as well as the Ming Wangfu and other royal families close to the Li family, and safely escape the blow and persecution of the Empress Wu, which was the most important thing for him to do.
Not only the subjective reasons for the rise and fall of these dynasties, but he was also able to clearly identify the basic context of historical development.
Lao Ming Wang obviously regarded Li Zhi's silence during this period as the words of his father and son, bringing him a deep level of objective understanding.
So he smiled and said: "Just like that Shang Fang sword, the Holy Lord can put a blank special edict in your hands, and does not avoid the two princes, at least it shows that he is borrowing this way to warn and allude to the two, so the Holy Driver moves to Luoyang, and your development in Chang'an City will not be hindered for the time being." ”
King Ming continued, "As long as you lay out the new business blueprint here one step earlier, no matter who is in the position in the future, you will not dare to make a move easily." Especially the two princes, the confusion brought to you by the blank edict today also caused the two to become more and more difficult to fathom. ”
Li Zhi nodded deeply, expressing his sincerity and convincing, so up and down the Ming Palace, there was a harmonious atmosphere, and the three daughters of Qingqi could also deeply feel the enthusiastic support of the people here for them.
The old Ming King has said several times that the Ming Wangfu is extremely noble to Li Zhi, but he does not think that the little Ming Wangfu is qualified to be tolerant, Li Zhi has a broader development prospect like the country, and the Ming Wangfu needs his support in the future and will not fall prematurely.
These words are not said at will, the Ming Wangfu, which has served as the captain of the three generations and has not fallen, has been at the core level of government since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the three generations of emperors can give absolute trust, such a person is not a promise.
Being able to regard Li Zhi as the closest relatives of the Ming Palace, and give him great glory is only an appearance, and it will not be groundless to find a future backer for the mansion.
For Li Zhi, the three generations of Ming Wangjun were incorruptible, and the Ming Wangfu was magically united, without the housework of other big families, and no one had ever turned against things, which was also the main reason why he was happy to marry the Ming Wangfu in an alternative way.
After a while of wine and food, Li Zhi quietly asked about the two dzis, and the old Ming King's expression suddenly became solemn: "I leave it to you, I don't want you to gather the three dzi and achieve the so-called three wishful wishes in the legend." Maybe you don't understand the special significance of dzi in Buddhist tantra, they are Buddhist relics with immeasurable price, and they are the only two prehistoric beads today, as a treasure collection! ”
Li Zhi smiled and explained, "I'm just curious, after the three worlds of wishful wishes are gathered, if there is really the legendary Dapeng Golden-winged Bird Lord Self-Divine Transformation, and the Great Compassion Wonderful Power Natural Transformation Divine Power Inheritance, why are they scattered?" ”
"Text, your question is equivalent to asking, there are immortals in the sky, and most of them are people of my Taoist sages and great virtues, why do you allow the mortal world to be full of killing and dumping for thousands of years, this is beyond the scope of my cognition. I think the king of the county has told you all about it, and I know all about it. Let's put it this way, the self-nature of the Lord who is twisting around like that, or the natural transformation of the great compassion and magic power, is also a few days that I memorized to complete the narrative, not to mention that I had heard it before! ”
Seeing the old Ming King smile helplessly, Li Zhi couldn't hold back a smile, "If I said that I intend to go to the place where the third dzi is, how would you react?" ”
"Hello!" The wine glass in front of Lao Ming Wang made Li Yixi's words fall down in shock, "This is not a joke, if I know this, I am willing to forcibly take it back from your hands!" The Demon God Cult Temple is the most terrifying and cruel existence in the world, it is said that they can summon the souls of the dead at will, you don't think that you have a body of cultivation, and try to find the door to die! It is certain that those people have never given up on the idea of looking for such dzis, you can't be greedy and delusional! ”
"Look at how scared you are, I just said that even if I really plan to go, I will wait for myself to really enter the realm of grandmasters. And to be honest, I really don't feel the so-called holy objects in Buddhism, I'm just a little curious! ”
"No, you kid have to swear in front of my old man that you won't go to that place to find out the secrets, unless I'm dead!"
Seeing that the old king was really angry, Li Zhi hurriedly apologized: "Your old man can't be as knowledgeable as me, I'm only twenty years old after all, and I am a little self-righteous who doesn't know the height of the sky, you can't let me fall like this, you still have to pull me in time, see me firmly, and don't force it, just have fifty years!" ”
Li Tong was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm seventy this year, and I'll be one hundred and twenty years old in another fifty years, how many people have you seen who have lived past this age?" ”
King Ming said with a smile, "The ancestor of the Eastern Mountains will be one in the future!" With the text of this miracle doctor, there is no problem in living past 100 years old! ”
Li Zhi echoed casually, "I only live past a hundred years old, can I still pretend to be a miracle doctor?" Look at it, Zhun Bao will be at least fifty years, and you will see a few more great-grandsons, what kind of huge family will the Ming Wangfu be at that time? ”
The two of them broke up like this, which soon made Lao Ming Wang smile, Li Zhi didn't want to swear anything, if he had the opportunity, he really wanted to explore.
"What are your plans regarding Wu Sansi? As far as I know, the people of their house went to the Eastern Mountains last night to ask to see you! ”
After laughing, King Ming didn't forget to get down to business.
"What else? I still mean that, as long as that Li Yin and Li Wannian, if it weren't for a coincidence, the business loss would still be a trivial matter, maybe Chang Yubo would be dead and dead. Moreover, the paper mill in Liujian Village has a large share of the imperial court, which is obviously an intentional rebellion! ”
Li Zhi's charge is not light, but the sword in his hand, as well as the seemingly useless title of the royal family, in addition to the life and death of the Tang Dynasty, or the most critical moment of Bianxu, is to specifically restrain the royal people surnamed Li from cutting first and then playing the blessing of imperial power, not to mention the privilege of maintaining the commercial development of Chang'an City.
That Li Yin is not only a person surnamed Li, but also has an insidious plot to disrupt the production of rice paper, using the Shang Fang sword in his hand, there is nothing to question.
"Since you have made up your mind in your heart, just hold on to it a little longer, Wu Sansi basically acquiesced in such a solution, but I don't know how King Jing will choose!" King Ming also agreed with him.
"There is no doubt that King Jing fell to Princess Taiping's side, and Princess Taiping will be another martial queen, if King Jing refuses to give in this time, I will have to fight with him. The Shang Fang Sword in my hand has a hidden mystery, which is to eradicate all the people who are against the hearts of the people for the royal family surnamed Li. With this sword, I have the privilege of being spared the scourge of death three times, and I am forced to hurry, and if I don't go through the Holy One, I will find the door myself! ”
His words sound a bit extreme, but for the two Ming kings, it is a big event for a betrayer in the Li family to appear, and it is a three-king king, which will directly affect his own forces and everything that Gaozong has secretly arranged.
Imagine, before the restoration of the royal family surnamed Li, the family will first kill each other and dump wantonly, and no matter how many open and secret moves will only be greatly discounted, and there will even be a situation of uncontrollable collapse.
