Chapter 142: The Storm Rises in Chang'an

Not only is the system of succession to the throne different from that of China, but also the process of succession of the imperial throne is different from that of China.

When the old emperor of China died, the heir was immediately enthroned before the spirit and became the new emperor. Then, first issued a happy edict announcing the new monarch's accession to the throne, and then issued a mourning edict, announcing that the old emperor had already controlled Bintian.

The entire succession process of the throne can be called seamless, which is the so-called "the country cannot be a king for a day".

However, Fuso is different.

After the death of the new emperor, the heir cannot immediately ascend the throne, but can only temporarily "regency". When will the funeral of the old emperor be completed, and when will the new emperor ascend the throne.

This process usually lasts up to a year.

Now the question is, what if the heir of this old emperor is overthrown by someone else during this year?

Cold!

Whoever wins in the end is the emperor, and the one who loses is still the prince. In other words, Prince Otomo is always Prince Otomo and cannot be called Emperor Fuso.

This can show the superiority of Lang Huaxia, Ming Chengzu ousted his nephew Emperor Jianwen from power, changed the history books, and changed the year name, claiming that his throne was inherited from his father, and it had nothing to do with his nephew.

But not long after his death, Emperor Jianwen was recognized as the emperor. There is no way, justice is in the hearts of the people. Even if Emperor Jianwen is an emperor for a day, he is still an emperor, and even Zhu Di's descendants admit this truth.

The people of Fuso were not so "fair" until 1,200 years later, when Emperor Meiji recognized Prince Otomo as Emperor Hirofumi.

This "Meiji Emperor" is the same person who carried out the Meiji Restoration and broke out the Sino-Japanese War with the Qing Dynasty. In other words, it was only then that Fuso felt that he was not doing what he was doing.

During the Tang Dynasty, no one in Fuso, from the emperor to the peddler and pawn, and even the prince of Otomo himself, thought that he was qualified to be called the emperor, but regarded him as an unlucky person who failed to compete for the throne.

It is precisely because of this that apart from those loyal deployments, Prince Otomo has no appeal in Fusang at all. can only hope to rob Quanzhou Port and use money to buy the hearts of the army.

After listening to this, Feng Pu glanced at Cui Geng and the others, and nodded tacitly.

The old thorn Shi Xiao walked a few steps to approach Li Youregret, put his face very chicken thief, borrowed Cui Geng's classic sentence, and asked: "Do you want to die or want to live?" ”

Of course, Prince Otomo spared his life, so Feng Pu gave him an idea, after arriving in Chang'an City, he must not mention the wonderful transfer process of the throne of Fusang.

He said that he was the Emperor of Fuso...... Uh, you can't mention the word emperor, Wu Zetian has called himself the queen of heaven for so many years, what's the matter with you running an emperor?

As a result, the prince of Otomo was ordered to call himself the "Wa King", and Feng Pu and Cui Geng, who knew the inside story, still called him "Otomo Prince" or "Fake Wa King".

In this way, for Cui Geng and others, there is still a great merit in capturing the king alive. For Prince Otomo (Li Youregret), not only is there no problem in saving his life, but there is also hope to regain the throne with the help of the Tang Dynasty's military power, which can be called a great joy.

As for saying that there are Fusang people coming to Datang, what should I do if this matter is exposed? That's easy to explain. They were ordered by Emperor Tenmu, that is, the bad uncle who took the throne of Li Youregret, and deliberately came to discredit Prince Otomo on the orders of Emperor Tenmu, and what they said was not credible.

Besides, you don't have to keep it a secret for long. Wu Zetian recognized the prince of Otomo as the "King of Wa", and he was really the "King of Wa". Who would dare to make the old lady unhappy in such an inconsequential matter?

In addition, the title of Reichiko, the daughter of Prince Otomo, also had to be changed.

What kind of princess, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty is not necessarily a princess, and you dare to call a princess a daughter of Fusang?

In order to survive, Prince Otomo expressed his full cooperation.

It was only now that he told Cui Geng and others that in fact, the women of the Fuso royal family would be given a "palace name" when they were born, and they would only be approved by the emperor to establish a "palace family" when they became adults.

Moreover, this palace number and the palace family are not next to each other at all.

So what else is there to say? It seems that this "palace family" is equivalent to a princess, and Prince Otomo and others translated all the daughters of the royal family into princesses, purely to put gold on their faces.

Li Zhizi, who died tragically, just call her "Wang Girl".

So, to raise Prince Otomo by one level, and demote Lizhizi by one level, a perfect fool plan was born.

At the beginning of Wu Zhou, Wu Zetian still cares about reputation very much, and Li Zhizi is also a "princess" no matter how she says it. insulting the daughter of the vassal prince, this reputation is too stinky, and if she kills Wu Zetian, she can't admit that Wu Liangju is his nephew.

Therefore, Wu Liangju is a common man, and his father is the pacification envoy of Lingnan Province, and he is known as the son of an official eunuch.

In this way, isn't everyone meritorious?

The only thing to worry about is Wu Sanzhong, this old thing is everyone's top boss, and he is familiar with the inside story, even if he can't avenge the loss of his son on the surface, he can find a few pairs of small shoes for the big guy to wear in private?

Especially Cui Geng, this can be called the revenge of killing his son, can he not retaliate? That's not something a few pairs of shoes can do.

Feng Pu is an old official in the end, his eyes rolled, and he thought of two countermeasures, one of which was to keep Wu Liangju's death strictly confidential. Second, Shen Tuo hurriedly sent Prince Otomo to Chang'an City to ask for merit and reward.

After Shen Tuo listened, he asked a little puzzled: "The second article is understandable, but why is the first one?" The longer it is delayed, it can only make Wu Sanzhong more angry and retaliate more tragically, right? ”

Old Thorn Shi's mentality was much better at this time, and he actually bared his teeth and smiled, and said: "Of course it is useful to delay time, we can't deal with Wu Sanzhong, someone can deal with him." The old man will repair a book, and you can help me bring it to Di Xiangye. ”

Di Xiangye, of course, is the famous Prime Minister Di Renjie!

Cui Geng and Shen Tuo's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison: "Yo, just you, do you still know Di Xianggong?" ”

"What do you mean by that? Why can't you know Di Xiangye in this assassin history? ”

Feng Pu had just experienced great sorrow and joy, and now he was in a good mood, and said with a hearty smile: "Thanks to the attention of Prime Minister Di, I have a lot of harmony with the old man." Hmph, it turns out that the old man is unwilling to have a grudge with Wu Sanzhong, but he is not afraid of him. If he dares to bite us and hold on, he will let him break a few teeth this time! ”

It was rare for the old thorn history to rise up, Cui Geng hurriedly patted his ass, and said: "Feng Thorn Shi is mighty!" ”

Chen Sanhe was very happy to see what they said, and hurriedly reminded: "Cui Changshi, don't forget what you promised, and add a stroke to the villain in the recital." ”

"I can't forget you." Cui Geng found that Chen Sanhe was also a talent, although he was as timid as a mouse, but he was better than a fool, he could look at his face, and he was a diplomatic talent, so he immediately said to Shen Tuo: "Shen joins the army, or you enter Beijing this time, you can bring Master Chen with you, and by the way, ask him for an official and a half-job." ”

Shen Tuo was a little reluctant, and he looked down on Chen San and this charlatan!

But Cui Geng is now a brother with him. How can you refute the face of a good friend? He immediately nodded in agreement.

What I didn't expect was that this small arrangement would stir up the world!

……

……

Chang'an City, at this time, there was the first political ~ political crisis since Wu Zetian ascended the throne.

Before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he killed and killed, which frightened some people who were inclined to Li Tang and were not strong-willed, and went to the persuasion table against their will.

There are two people with the highest official positions here, one is Wenchang Zuoxiang, Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin Su Liangsi, and the other is the local official Shangshu and Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Pingzhang Shi Wei Fangzhen.

Who are these two? One is the left servant of Shangshu to shoot the three products of Su Liangsi under the door of the same book, and the other is the Pingzhang Shi Wei Fangzhi under the door of the Shangshu of the Household Department.

If Wu Zetian wants to be the first female emperor, he has to have a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, and he has changed his official name a lot.

For example, the original three provinces and six departments, it is good for her, Shangshu Province has been changed to Wenchang Pavilion, Zhongshu Province has been changed to Fengge, and Menxia Province has been changed to Luantai.

As for the six departments of the official household rite and the criminal work, they were changed by her to the spring, summer, autumn and winter of heaven and earth.

How good the original name is, as soon as you hear it, you will know what it is for, what spring, summer, autumn and winter are completely inexplicable.

Therefore, these names only appear on the court documents, and the people below can still be called whatever they want.

When Li Xian ascended the throne, it was all changed back.

To understand simply, just treat Su Liangsi and Wei Fangzhen as the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Fangzhen has been depressed since he went against his will, why do you think I'm cowardly? Shouldn't I be mighty and unyielding, and achieve a good name through the ages? It's good now, he has become a villain who sees the wind and rudder, leaving behind infamy through the ages.

This entanglement is depressed, and I want to make a moth.

So, he took leave from the court, saying that I occasionally felt cold and wanted to rest at home for a while, three or five days, ten days and half a month.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi heard about this, thinking that their aunt taught them to have a good relationship with their colleagues, and not to look down on people because they were relatives of the emperor, so they took two generous gifts and personally visited Wei Fangqing.

As soon as Wei Fangzhen saw that these two were coming, the tangled energy came up again-I can't deal with Wu Zetian, can't I deal with you?

Immediately, he was very arrogant and "did not give a salute to the bed", that is, he refused to get up and salute Erwu on the bed.

Well, if you pretend to be seriously ill, people may not find fault with it. However, as soon as Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi left, he had to get up.

Someone persuaded him, "If you are so rude to the powerful, isn't that an invitation to yourself?"

Wei Fangzhi bragged very desperately: "Ji is also murderous." How can a husband bend his knots and close relatives in order to avoid it? ”

As soon as these words came and went, they reached the ears of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, and when Erwu heard it, okay, our brothers went to visit Wei Fangzhi with good intentions, and he actually treated us like this. Not only that, but it is also preached everywhere, so what is it? him!

immediately invited Zhou Xing, the representative of the cool officials, to frame Wei Fangzhen, saying that he was going to rebel.

This is really wronging others, Wei Fangzhi has the thief's heart but not the thief's courage, not only does he not have the courage of a thief, but this integrity is also very ordinary.

When he arrived in the prison, Wei Fangzhen looked at the torture tools that Zhou Xing took out, and asked him to confess as much as he wanted.

It's rare for Zhou Xing to grab such a soft egg with enough identity, so he can't pinch it hard? He said that you will definitely not be able to do it alone, so recruit a few more comrades.

Wei Fangzhi made up nonsense and reported the names of dozens of people.

But Zhou Xing is still not satisfied - there are a lot of people, but there are few who are enough, and I can't show my credit.

Wei Fangzhen was forced to have no choice, and finally recruited another big man - Prime Minister Su Liangsi.
