After canonizing Li Chongfu as the crown prince, perhaps Empress Wei wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, and the court situation began to change greatly.
First of all, it was Prime Minister Wei Juyuan who was driven home to eat old rice.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhizhong, the right imperial historian, Wei Sili, Taifu Qing, Li Qiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Xi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Zheng Ju, the Taichang Shaoqing, were awarded the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu.
Okay, the original prime ministers were Cui Geng, Zong Chuke, Cui, Wei Juyuan and Wei Wen, because Wei Juyuan was at both ends of the first rat, and Wei Hou's strength did not have an absolute advantage.
It's good now, Zheng, Zong Chuke, Wei Wen, Li Qiao, Zhang Xi, and Xiao Zhizhong are all hardcore of Empress Wei, and in the prime minister's team, the number of Empress Wei's family has reached two-thirds.
Not only that, although Wei Sili had nothing to do with Empress Wei, because of his surname Wei, he was still forced by her to join the sect.
Counting up, the nine prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, except for Cui Geng and Cui, are all the only ones who look forward to the horses.
This is not over, Empress Wei asked Li Xian to make a holy decree: to seal Shangguan Wan'er as "Zhaorong". Zhaorong is one of the nine concubines, and her rank is from the second grade, and from that day on, Shangguan Wan'er will be Li Xian's little wife.
This is purely to give Cui Geng eye medicine, Li Xian has long had no such function, what is the use of including Shangguan Wan'er in the palace?
Empress Wei just felt that Shangguan Wan'er was finally managed out of the palace by Cui Geng, and if she got her back, she would definitely be able to block Cui Geng.
After Cui Geng heard the news, he was actually not very angry. The reason is very simple, Shangguan Wan'er insisted on leaving the palace last time because she fell out of favor in front of Wu Zetian and stayed in the palace to be bullied. Her own desire for power~ is very strong, and being able to enter the palace again is exactly what she wants.
Presumably, the political IQ of Shangguan Wan'er will be like a fish in water in the palace. Maybe one day, Empress Wei will regret today's decision.
However, there was another thing that Empress Wei did, which made Cui Geng really grit his teeth.
On this day, Empress Wei suddenly made a decree to marry the general He Lou Aoqing. And the object of marriage is the son of Empress Wei's uncle, named Cui Wu.
In addition, Empress Wei also specially announced that the man's matchmaker was herself, and the woman's matchmaker was Emperor Li Xian.
This move is known as "the emperor marries a daughter, and the queen marries a woman".
With these two supremes as matchmakers, who would dare to oppose them? Who can object? Seeing that this marriage is a foregone conclusion.
Grandma's, something is wrong!
Cui Geng clearly remembers that in historical records, Cui Wu married Xiao Zhizhong's daughter, not He Lou Aoqing.
Obviously, Empress Wei used this method to disgust herself because she had an affair with He Lou Aoqing.
Originally, I didn't have much affection for He Lou Aoqing, she married someone else as a wife, which is much better than marrying herself as a concubine, and she should be happy to see it.
But the problem is, this Cui Wu is really not a good match. He has a nickname, called "Silver Gun Little Overlord", crotch ~ the next silver gun, I don't know how many men in Chang'an have been killed. That's right, it's a young man, this Cui Wuku is a good man, He Lou Aoqing married in the past, can he be happy?
The most important thing is that he promised to take He Lou Aoqing out of the palace to avoid being implicated after Empress Wei's defeat, so he can't break his word, right? What's the matter with He Lou Aoqing marrying Empress Wei's cousin now?
Originally, Cui Geng was confident, and in historical records, in order to decorate the peaceful and prosperous world, Li Xian would allow the palace maids to go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival next year, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As a result, more than 10,000 palace maids went out and ran 8,000.
Nonsense, what's so good about wasting your time in the palace? If you have this opportunity, the fool will not run.
This is too embarrassing, I don't know, I'm afraid I think the emperor has worn how many green hats. In the end, for the sake of face, Li Xian treated it as if it had never happened.
Cui Geng originally planned to let He Lou Aoqing fish in troubled waters and escape from the palace.
But now Cui Geng is dumbfounded, seeing that the wedding date is approaching, and it has not yet reached the Shangyuan Festival, how can he help He Lou Aoqing escape from the palace?
It's not the end of escaping from the palace, the most important thing is that Li Xian will no longer pursue this matter. Otherwise, unless He Lou Aoqing is willing to die in the mountains and forests, sooner or later it will be a time bomb.
What can I do?
Cui Geng wanted to contact He Lou Aoqing through Gao Lishi to discuss countermeasures. However, Empress Wei had long been wary of him, and put He Lou Aoqing under house arrest, and no one was allowed to visit him except for a few henchmen.
Seeing that the wedding date of He Lou Aoqing and Cui Wu was approaching, Cui Geng was really depressed.
Until this day, Cui Geng received a task, on behalf of Li Xian, thirty miles out of Chang'an City, to Baqiaoyi to greet Wu Youxu.
Wu Youxu is Wu Zetian's nephew who is dedicated to cultivation, when Cui Geng was the commander of Jiangdu County, Wu Youxu was the king of Anping and the pacification envoy of Huainan Province, and he helped him a lot intentionally or unintentionally.
Later, Cui Geng went to Dingzhou to take up his post, and Wu Youxu got Wu Zetian's permission to enter Songshan to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Li looked like tuberculosis, and seeing that time was running out, on the one hand, he arranged the aftermath, and on the other hand, he hit the idea of the matter of gods and ghosts.
Li Xian pondered carefully, Wu Youxu is really strange, he can't enjoy the glory and wealth, and he has to become a monk. Not only that, according to the spies, he did not have the pomp of the emperor's relatives in Songshan, "living in the grass pepper in winter and living in the stone room in summer, just like a man in the mountains and forests." The queen mother and the prince's relics were all left unused, and the dust condensed. Buying land and making slaves cultivate it is no different from the people."
Say he's pretending, right? Totally impossible! Who can pretend to be more than ten years!
So...... What is he trying to do?
Could it be that this is a true Taoist who was born with long-cherished wisdom and knew the method of immortality?
The more Li Xian thought about it, the more eager he became, and sent envoys to invite Wu Youxu to Beijing many times.
Finally, Wu Youxu couldn't shirk it, and went down Songshan, which was about to rush to Chang'an City.
Li Xian attaches great importance to Wu Youxu's arrival, and after careful study, Cui Geng is not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also has a friendship with Wu Youxu, so let him go to greet him instead of me.
Cui Geng himself has his own little abacus.
Now it is almost impossible to directly rescue He Lou Aoqing, and there is only a way to delay her and Cui Wu's marriage. On the night of the last yuan, the palace maids and eunuchs all went to see the lanterns, and the palace defense should be very empty, and it should be able to make contributions.
But how to delay the marriage? It was useless to persuade herself, Empress Wei had long since distrusted herself. If Wu Youxu pretends to be a ghost and makes nonsense, it is still very likely to succeed.
The only question is, Wu Youxu doesn't like to take care of things, can he cooperate with himself?
……
……
Three days later, Baqiao Station.
Cui Geng took the lead, and many court officials followed, standing in the temporarily repaired "Yingxian Pavilion", waiting for Wu Youxu's arrival.
At the behest of Li Xian, there were really a lot of people who came to greet him this time. Almost all the officials of the Ministry of Rites were present, and many of the emperor's relatives such as Li Longji, King of Linzi, Li Chengqi, King of Shouchun, Xue Chongjian, Duke of Yingguo, Wu Yizong, Duke of Geng, and Wu Yanxiu, Duke of Huanguo, also came, and even He Lou Aoqing's fiancé, Wei Weiqing Cui Wu was also among them.
At that time, Wu Youxu had not yet arrived, and everyone looked at Cui Geng, and then at Cui Wu, and they all showed meaningful smiles.
You must know that under the intentional or unintentional propaganda of Empress Wei, in the minds of everyone, Cui Geng and He Lou Aoqing have reached the point of vowing to each other and promising each other life and death.
When these two people meet, how can they not be reluctant to see each other, and their eyes are red?
However, Cui Geng and Cui Wu, who are the parties involved, have a calm face and can't see any joy or anger.
"Cui Xiang, Cui Weiqing, I said two, don't hold back. Wouldn't it be better if there was anything to say now that it was clear? Suddenly, a gloating voice rang out.
Is this going to provoke trouble? Who is so bold?
People followed the prestige.
