Zhang Cambodia said sincerely: "The three hundred articles of the Book of Songs can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "thinking is innocent". If there were really immortals who could make people immortal, then Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have been immortal long ago; If the Buddha really benefited people, then Emperor Wu of Liang would have become the first emperor of the ages. The reason why Yao Shun was able to become a model for the emperors of the past dynasties was only because of their efforts to cultivate the world. His Majesty has great respect for people like Zheng Pusi and Ye Jing, and even let them serve as cultural and educational leaders, what do people all over the world think? Weichen thought it was unwise. โ€

These few sentences are absolutely true.

To be honest, Li Xian's qualifications are above the middle, and it is not that he doesn't understand that people like Zheng Pusi and Ye Jingneng are unreliable, but he is helpless against Wei Houxin.

Li Xian took a deep breath and said, "What Zhang Aiqing said is very true, I will remove Zheng Pusi and Ye Jingneng from their current positions and send them to Tokyo for worship, what do you think?" โ€

Tokyo is Luoyang, which is more prosperous than Chang'an. Although Zheng Pusi and Ye Jingneng have less power, they are easier to enjoy, and they must be able to accept it both by them and Empress Wei.

However, Zhang Cambodia does not accept it!

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times one after another, and said: "Weichen's admonition this time is not just for Zheng Pusi and Ye Jingneng, but mainly for the hope that His Majesty will change his mind and repel all the incompetent people." โ€

"For example?"

"For example, Liang Wangwu thinks twice!" Zhang Khan Zhidao: "The Great Sage Emperor changed the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty and killed the Li Tang clan; Now, thanks to God's protection, His Majesty has re-ascended the throne, but the people of the Wu family have not been punished and held accountable, and people of insight in the government and the opposition have all sighed. He also asked His Majesty to reduce his official title and reduce his salary to comfort the hearts of the people in the world. โ€

"The surname is Zhang, why don't you come here in this set!" Wu Sansi said angrily: "During the Shenlong Coup, I also participated in it, and now I have been demoted from a single-word king to a double-word king, what do you want?" โ€

Song Yi, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, interjected: "How is it? Now that Jiang Shan is surnamed Li, Wu Sansi should return to his home as a marquis, how can you still serve as a minister and interfere in court politics? Don't you know the ending of Lu Chan and Lu Lu? โ€

Yuan Shuji knelt down and said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there have been quite a few people who are not human, please change your course and repel Zhu Wu and other fortunate people!" Those who are full of talent and virtue are in their positions, and someone writes the inscription for the Great Holy Empress! โ€

"Please also ask Your Majesty to repel Zhuwu and other fortunate people, and when those who are talented and virtuous are in their positions, someone will write an inscription for the Emperor of the Great Sage!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The Qingliu faction fell to their knees.

Their words still make sense, Empress Wei and the princesses have been making too much trouble recently.

They can use four words to express glory, stupid and greedy. The only way for these noblewomen to make money is to sell their official titles.

Whether it is a butcher or a drunkard, or a slave or maid, as long as you send three hundred yuan to these people, you can directly get the official position appointed by the emperor's own edict. Of course, most of them are imperial histories and relics without a quota.

Because these people were appointed without formal procedures, their appointment letters were obliquely sealed, and they had to be handed over to the Zhongshu Province from the side door for handling, and the word "edict" written on it was written with an ink pen, which was different from the edict of the yellow paper and Zhu pen in the Zhongshu Province, so it was called the "oblique seal official".

In less than a year, the number of oblique officials has approached 10,000.

There are so many people, the office space can't be crowded, and there were eleven prime ministers at that time, and people called the imperial history, the relics, and the prime minister, as "three no places to sit".

In this way, a bribe of about two million yuan made the court neatly smoky, and people of insight were all resentful.

The Qing school put these things together with the Qing retreat of Zhuwu, and first had a moral advantage.

In addition, the Qing faction took advantage of today's proposal to make a deal with Li Xian, you listen to us, and we will find someone to write an inscription for Wu Zetian. Otherwise, you can find Zheng Pusi and Ye Jing to write, and you can find Wu Sansi to write!

Of course, Li Xian can't do that.

The inscription is an evaluation of a person's coffin and is very important. But how should Wu Zetian evaluate it in this life? The son can't say anything about the father, and the mother can't say anything, and you can't write bad words. What about singing the praises of merit? That's not credible, and it's still inappropriate. Therefore, this is a very difficult technical job, and ordinary people simply can't do it.

The most important thing is that when writing an inscription, you have to find someone with a big name and good reputation to write it. Otherwise, he who is the son of man is not unfilial. As an emperor, Li Xian really can't afford to lose this person.

However, apart from the Qing School, where can you find someone who is famous and has a good reputation? Theoretically, Li Xian had to compromise with the Qing school.

However, then again, today's ministers' actions are not much different from forcing the palace, and Li Xian really can't swallow this breath.

What to do?

Li Xian looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he didn't belong to the Qing school, but also had a big reputation and good reputation, and there was really one, that was Cui Geng Cui Erlang!

He said happily: "King Fuyang, the inscription of the Great Holy Empress of the Heavens, why don't you write it?" โ€

Of course, Zhang Cambodia has long thought about this, and said: "King Fuyang is the grandson-in-law of the Empress Zetian Great Sage, and it is unfair and unreasonable for him to write it!" โ€

Empress Wei had strong confidence in Cui Geng, and said, "Erlang, what do you say?" โ€

Speaking from the heart, Cui Geng really doesn't want to care about this. However, it is clear that the wrestling point between the two sides has fallen on him again.

On the surface, he can say that he is powerless and takes the opportunity to have a superficial relationship with the clear stream.

However, in that case, the purpose of the clear stream will definitely be achieved. Definitely!

Cui Geng doesn't believe it, so many people can really be monolithic and united. As long as Li Xian and Empress Wei slowly figure it out, there will be no renegades, such as Xiao Zhizhong, the now very famous imperial historian, who will not be guaranteed in the future and take refuge in Empress Wei. Today, I hated Li Xian for no reason, why is this really troublesome? Moreover, in history, Li Xian has perfectly solved this problem!

And most importantly, the matter of protecting the bloodline of the martial arts family cannot be mentioned, and Cui Geng must find an excuse for Wu Zetian to get his promise when he is dying. And Wu Zetian's inscription is a good starting point.

Cui Geng's mind was racing, and he said, "Your Majesty, in fact, is this inscription...... There is no need for Weichen to write, then the Great Holy Empress has already been arranged. โ€

"How is that possible? Ah, no, I mean, how did I not know? โ€

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that on the day of the Great Sage Empress Zen Rang, she once asked Weichen to enter the Hall of Eternal Life alone? Do you remember that when the Great Sage Empress was about to make a big trip, she had to appear as a micro-minister? โ€

"Of course I do."

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "That's fine." To tell the truth, in the Hall of Eternal Life, the Great Holy Empress of Heaven once mentioned the inscription after her great trip. As for being in Da'an Palace, Wei Chen guessed that the Great Sage Empress was no longer able to speak at that time, but she didn't have time to explain the inscription clearly, so she found Wei Chen and entrusted him. โ€

Very reasonable!

Li Xiandao: "Then the Great Holy Empress, how did she arrange her inscription?" โ€
