Chapter 1072: Empress Wei did her own thing
Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of struggle in the Tang Dynasty!
When Cui Geng reluctantly opened his eyes again, a delicate face appeared in front of him, although he was slightly older, he was still quite graceful.
It is Queen Wei Xiang'er!
On the several cases in front of her, there was an edict and two carp talismans, and she said with a smile: "Erlang, you are awake." β
"Wechen...... Woke up. Cui Geng said with a bitter face: "Don't be joking, the queen mother, what's the matter with you tying me up!" β
"You want this palace to let you go?"
"Uh-huh." Cui Geng nodded his head like chicken rice.
Empress Wei shook the edict and said calmly: "No." The palace has released you, and you will definitely carry out the edict of the dead ghost, take Li Chongfu into Beijing as the emperor, and let the palace be the queen mother. β
"Isn't that good?"
"Good! What a ghost! Empress Wei stretched out her green jade fingers, nodded Cui Geng's forehead fiercely, and said, "This palace has been busy for so many years, just to be the queen mother?" β
Although he knew that it was useless, Cui Geng still said bitterly: "But if you want the empress, no one in the world will agree." Since the Great Holy Empress, people will never accept ......"
"Shut up!"
Empress Wei's originally calm tone changed to blunt, and said: "This palace is not here to discuss with you, but just to tell you: you will stay in the palace for the past few days, and don't go anywhere." Don't worry about the family, the palace will notify Bao'er. β
Then, she stood up and said, "Wei Yuan! β
"In!"
"Escort the Duke of Chu to rest, without an order from the palace, he is not allowed to see anyone."
"Yes."
A middle-aged eunuch who Cui Geng had never seen before, white and chubby, walked over, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Chu Guogong, let's go, you don't need a slave to help you." β
"I don't need your help!"
Cui Geng looked at Empress Wei and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the queen mother is determined to be the empress." So far, the son-in-law doesn't dare to stop him, only a few good words to tell him. β
Hearing Cui Geng's softness, Empress Wei became happy: "That's right, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink." This palace is the empress, An Le is the empress, and Qi'er is the empress, which is not a bad thing for you Cui Erlang at all! Tell me, what exactly are you going to tell Hongu? β
Now, for the safety of his family, Cui Geng can only plan for Empress Wei, and said: "First of all, please kill Li Longji, the king of Linzi, at all costs!" β
"How?" Empress Wei shook her head and said gently: "Erlang, this palace knows that you and the King of Linzi have always had contradictions, but you can't announce personal vendetta at this time!" Now the palace must not be able to ascend the throne directly, and must let King Wen Chongmao succeed to the throne. Now that people's hearts are unstable, how can I kill the Li Tang clan without permission? Besides, even if you want to kill the Li Tang clan, it won't be Li Longji's turn. β
"I ......"
Cui Gengzhen's liver trembled with anger.
He thought to himself, how could Empress Wei not be shrewd when she should be shrewd, and when she should be confused, she should be shrewd?
Yes, looking at it now, no one would think that a little Li Longji could turn the tables. Moreover, even judging from the records of later generations, his success was also very accidental. However, they did succeed! Actions speak louder than words!
Cui Geng couldn't directly take out the records of later generations to talk about things, so he had to retreat to the second.
He said: "If you don't kill Li Longji, then kill Zong Chuke." This man's wolf ambition is ostensibly loyal to you, but in fact, he is only loyal to himself. He once said to people: Life is bitter and not content, I was in a humble position at the beginning, I especially loved the power of the prime minister, and as the prime minister, and I wanted to be the son of heaven, even if the south was widowed for one day, I would be satisfied. With him, he will definitely give you some bad ideas, and if you want to achieve great things, you must get rid of this person first! β
Cui Geng said this, and there is a basis.
In history, Li Xian died without an edict, and Empress Wei asked Shangguan Wan'er to draft an edict.
Shangguan Wan'er's talent is there, and the edict drafted is: Li Chongmao, the king of Wen, is the crown prince, and Empress Wei is in charge of political affairs, and Li Dan, the prime minister, is a staff member in political affairs.
She planned very well, put Li Dan on the table, showing that Empress Wei did not have the heart to win the throne, she could temporarily paralyze the people of the world, and after Empress Wei's power was stabilized, she would do the story of Wu Zetian.
However, Zong Chuke has selfish intentions.
He also hoped that Empress Wei would go against the grain, and that the people's hearts would be scattered and he would replace him. Therefore, although he knew that the edict drawn up by Shangguan Wan'er was very proper, he still said in his eggs: First of all, there is the queen mother, and the auxiliary government of the prime minister is a little unreasonable in terms of reasoning, and it is completely unnecessary.
Besides, the relationship between the king and the queen is that of uncle and sister-in-law, and there is an old saying that "uncle and sister-in-law don't ask". The two of them deal with the affairs of the court together, which is not in accordance with the etiquette law!
Empress Wei was stupid, and after listening to Zong Chuke's words, she was very happy.
She thought to herself, how good it is for me to monopolize the government by myself, why do I have to have one more Li Dan to hinder me? So, he reappointed Li Dan as the Taishi.
Empress Wei cuckolded Li Xian and wore it to everyone in the world, and after his death, he even refused to let Li Dan assist the government on the grounds of abiding by the ancient etiquette of "uncle and sister-in-law don't ask".
This move made people completely recognize the true face of Empress Wei. When the time came, Li Longji raised his arms and exhaled, and the edifice of power, which Empress Wei had just built and was extremely bright in appearance but was actually very weak, collapsed immediately.
Only then did people discover how weak the foundation of Empress Wei was.
Of course, Zong Chuke came up with this bad idea, and he didn't get a good deal. In that coup d'Γ©tat, he was killed by the rebels.
What Cui Geng is proposing now is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
He thought to himself that the common characteristic of bad ideas is that people mistake them for good ideas before they find out that they are bad ideas.
Zong Chuke offered advice, and Empress Wei would definitely listen. simply, just kill Zong Chuke. It is a matter of the safety of the family, and the affection of children and daughters can only be put aside.
However, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
Empress Wei shook his head and said, "Erlang, the more you say, the more unreliable it becomes." When Zong Chuke said this, did you hear it? Is this a frame-up? Tell you, if there is any contradiction between you and Zong Chuke, this palace doesn't care. However, even if you want to kill him, it has to be in the future, and this palace still needs him. β
"I ......"
A piece of kindness, was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Empress Wei, and Cui Geng's lips trembled when he was angry.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, if you don't kill Li Longji, you can't kill Zong Chuke!" However, the last advice from the son-in-law must not be forgotten. β
"What advice?"
"Wei Chen repaired a letter and gave it to Marquis Fu Yuan, General Guo Ke of Zuo Yulin. Please also appoint him as the general of Yulin and be in charge of the security of Chang'an. He didn't dare to be interested in politics, and with him in charge of the Yulin Army, he could keep Chang'an safe. β
Empress Wei refused even more categorically this time, and said, "No! Bengong doesn't know anything Guo Ke, and I don't trust him. As for the matter of the Yulin Army, I have already made arrangements. β
"Are you going to order Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Weiqing, Wei Xuan, Zuo Qianniu, Zhonglang General Wei Yuan, Lang General Gao Song and others, to lead Chang'an soldiers and horses?"
"yes, how do you know?"
"Nonsense, you're just going to be like that!"
Cui Geng was really angry, his tone was already quite unpolite, and said, "Wei Jie, Wei Guan and others are all your clansmen. Gao Song is your nephew. You think very well, these people are loyal to you and will never betray you. But now the question is, can they control the left and right Yulin Army? Don't backfire. β
Empress Wei is Cui Geng's pig teammates, and these people are Empress Wei's pig teammates. Compared with them, Empress Wei can be regarded as a wise and martial emperor
In historical records, Empress Wei put them in charge of the left and right Yulin Army.
According to the normal way of thinking, you will win over the main generals, have nothing to do to gamble and gamble, and go shopping in the green ~ building or something. Anyway, I didn't expect them to fight, it was just to stabilize the Yulin Army.
For ordinary Yulin sergeants, it is even simpler, undressing and pushing food, it is already written very clearly in the military book, do it.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, you are so stupid that you don't know what to do. Then you can't do anything?
Most of the Yulin Army have families and mouths, who has nothing to do to eat and support the rebellion?! Wu Zetian has been the empress for so many years, haven't everyone endured it?
But how did these people do it?
They secretly wondered, what do we have no ability, we are in a high position, what should these Yulin sergeants do if they disobey us?
Well, there's a way.
If they don't accept it, they will be beaten until they obey!
In the following days, the Yulin military camp was lively, the sound of wooden sticks hitting the flesh, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers were endless.
The point is, why should I be beaten? Is it okay to be completely picked by the Wei family's eggs?
In the end, some officers were indeed beaten to the point that they could not stand it and took the initiative to find Li Longji and strongly demanded a coup d'Γ©tat.
This kind of effect, you can't buy it for how much money you spend. Deliberately arranged, it can't be arranged!
Therefore, Cui Geng resolutely asked Guo Ke to take charge of the Yulin Army.
Moreover, after history was changed by Cui Geng, there were many Cui Geng's henchmen in the Yulin Army.
For example, Lin Chuang Lin Saburo in Quanzhou is now serving as a captain in the Zuo Yulin Army, such as Cui Geng's students in Chengjun Prison, who was originally assigned by Wu Zetian to Guo Yi, and is now the backbone of the Yulin Army.
For another example, there are many members of the Freemasonry who served in the Yulin Army, Li Xian was a kind person, and after ascending the throne, the chicken dog ascended to heaven. It was Cui Geng who led the Freemasons to rescue him from Fangzhou, and he even had the names of these people recorded. After ascending the throne, he will naturally be rewarded. He gave official positions of various sizes to the people who participated in the rescue, and some of them joined the Yulin Army.
Therefore, as long as you don't go against the grain in the Yulin Army, the possibility of chaos is really not very large.
However, what is afraid of what.
How could Empress Wei understand Cui Geng's hardships?
She said angrily: "Cui Erlang, do you have the slightest respect for this palace and my mother-in-law?" How? The people you value are all talents, but the clansmen in this palace are all bears! How can this be? Come! β
"In!"
"Escort him down, and under no circumstances will he be allowed to leave, nor will he be allowed to pass on news to the outside."
"Whoa!"
This time it's not the white fat eunuch, it's two samurai, take Cui Geng and leave!
Burst!
Cui Geng finally couldn't help it, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and said: "Three suggestions, you don't take any of them!" It's over, it's over, it's all over! Heaven can do evil, especially for people, you can't live! β
Empress Wei said in disgust: "Hold it down!" β
