Chapter 437: Offering Beauty
Yang Fan ignored Wu Chengsi's greetings in advance, in Wu Chengsi's opinion, this was Yang Fan's clear statement that he wanted to stand on Wu Sansi's side, but only that, he also had to return the benefits, not to mention that his general Pan Ziwen fell because of this, and Wu Chengsi hated Yang Fan even more.
However, Wu Chengsi was not stupid enough to immediately return the favor to Yang Fan, Yang Fan was in the limelight after this case, and it was obvious that the emperor was also sheltering him, at this time, the counterattack outweighed the loss, Wu Chengsi had to suppress the anger in his heart, temporarily put Yang Fan aside, and continued to arrange his invitation to pet Jihua.
This Jihua was as early as when the crown prince Li Dan fell out of favor, and he and Feng Ge began to plan with Zhang Jiafu. It is not easy for him to invite Wu Zeyao to pet, the empress is already rich, what else can touch the heart of the empress? Wu Chengsi thought about it and felt that he could only start from the "name".
In order to create momentum for Wu Zeyao's ascension to the throne, Wu Chenghei once forged a piece of "Rui Shi", engraved on it with the eight characters of "Our Lady Enters, Yongchang Emperor's Industry", first threw it into Luoshui, and then called it into the salvage and dedicated it to Wu Zeyao. Wu Zeyao was really overjoyed, sealed the Luo River as a sacred water, banned fishing, and added the honorific title of "Our Lady God Emperor" to himself.
This is the first time that Wu Chengsi has tried to make a big fuss about "fame", and he has also benefited a lot. The reason why Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi stood out among the many sons and nephews of the Wu family and became the most competitive candidates for the crown prince was precisely because in the process of Wu Zeyao's accession to the throne, these two had the greatest incoming and outgoing strength.
Now, in order to seize the position of the crown prince, Wu Chenghei has repeated his old skills. In the season when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom and the city is full of fragrance, a petition signed by 5,000 people in Luoyang respectfully asks the emperor to add the honorific title of "Golden Wheel".
Since Wu Zeyao ascended the throne, he has changed from the Holy Mother to the Holy Spirit Emperor. Now, Wu Chenghe, under the pretense of public opinion, respectfully asks the emperor to add the word golden wheel in front of the four characters of the Holy Spirit Emperor. Wu Zeyao gladly accepted, so he gave himself the title of honorific and became "Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor!" ”
Wu Sansi didn't dare to slack off when he saw this, after the prince fell out of favor, his strategy was to fix his favor, and he had been preparing for this matter. Soon, the Siyi chieftains, whom he had already begun to contact, rushed to the capital, including the Western Turk Khan Ashina Husero.
Wu Sansi led the Siyi chieftains to meet the young sons with great fanfare, asking the emperor to allow them to build a huge pillar made of copper and iron, called "Yao Shu", outside the Duanmen, in order to praise the great achievements of the female emperor. Wu Zeyao has always been very happy, so he naturally agreed, and handed over the matter to Wu Sansi to be responsible.
As soon as Wu Chengsi saw that Wu Sansi had more benefits than himself, he was willing to give up, he immediately gathered thousands of people in Luoyang, and went to Zeyaomen to petition again, asking the emperor to add the word "Yuegu" to the honorific title of "Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor", called "Yue Ancient Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor!" ”
The honorific name of this thing, that is, the more the merrier, Wu Zeyao Longyan is happy, and he is good again. Seeing this scene, Wu Sansi hurriedly discussed with his five dogs, and asked the emperor again for permission to build Sanyang Palace in Songshan and Xingtai Palace in Wanshou Mountain for the empress to use during her parade. Wu Zeyao agreed, and these two projects were also handed over to Wu Sansi.
The battle between Yang Fan and Chen Dong for power and profit in the Criminal Department was limited to the open and secret battle between the two entrants. The three law divisions want to compete for superiority, but they are just using the case to make a fuss, and the battle between Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi at this level is different, as soon as he waved his hand, the emperor's honorific title changed, and there was a big building, and a magnificent building rose from the ground, which was a great supernatural power.
Wu Chengsi gave the emperor two honorific titles, and Wu Sansi won three major projects. It is easier to have a honorific title, and the emperor only needs to make a ceremony and add a honorific title to himself, but the giant pillar and the palace are not, it is empty
iA long-lasting and large-scale project, which costs a lot.
Wu Zeyao has always liked the feeling of tall and gorgeous architecture, and she built "Ming Hall", "Yao Hall", and "Lushena Buddha", all of which reflect her preference. Wu Sansi wanted to build giant pillars and palaces, of course, to cater to Wu Zeyao's preferences.
According to his design, this root name
The bronze pillar of the i, ten feet in diameter and one hundred and five feet high, is engraved with a dragon unicorn, and then the articles praising the merits of the female emperor are engraved on it, and the names of the hundred military officials and the monarchs of the four directions are engraved on it. The amount of copper and iron consumed by such a copper pillar is too great.
Wu Sansi received a donation of hundreds of millions of dollars from the Siyi chieftain and the Hu Shang giant, but so much money could not buy enough copper and iron, and the output of copper and iron could not be supplied.
As for the construction of Sanyang Palace and Xingtai Palace, a large number of civil servants should also be requisitioned, and the consumption is naturally incalculable, so that the people sigh and the people's grievances boil. However, these things of the people could not reach Wu Zeyao's ears, and no one dared to risk offending Wu Sansi or even the empress to impeach this matter.
Seeing Wu Sansi's enthusiasm, Wu Chengsi couldn't sit still. After his honorific title was offered, there was no business for him, but what Wu Sansi did was not something that could be completed in a year and a half, and the empress looked at it in her eyes, would she think that Wu Sansi was more filial than him?
Wu Chengsi thought about it, and came up with a way, he decided to do his best to help Wu Zeyao do one thing that he wanted to do but did not do, so as to invite Wu Zeyao, this thing is: Zen Master Huineng or Shenxiu Zen Master of Zen Buddhism to come to the capital and live here for a long time.
Although Wu Zeyao is upright and domineering, he is not without awe. She believes in reincarnation and respects Buddhism. When she ascended the throne, she had invited the sixth ancestor Huineng to participate in her enthronement ceremony, Huineng Zen Master did not come, although his senior brother Shenxiu Zen Master came, he also refused Wu Zeyao's retention after the ceremony, and returned to Dangyang Yuquan Temple.
The reason why Huineng didn't come and why Shenxiu left was because Wu Zeyao became the emperor as a woman, which is an unprecedented thing in ancient times, and it contains great risks. Although Wu Zeyao believed in Buddhism, which was an opportunity for Buddhism, which had been suppressed by Taoism since Li Tang, to promote Buddhism, they were worried that once Buddhism became a weapon in the empress's political struggle, the empress's defeat would bring a heavy blow to Buddhism, so they were reluctant to get too involved.
Wu Chenghei pondered, now that the death has been decided, the empress's country is sitting steadily, presumably these two Buddhist masters will change their minds, as long as one of them can be invited to live in Luoyang, the empress
i Worship the Buddha and ask for advice on the Dharma, naturally he will not forget that this is his merit, so he immediately raised it.
Realm O, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, the two nephews, rushed to pat their aunt's ass, and Feng Xihui, who was the best at patting horses, couldn't catch up.
In order to win the crown prince, Wu Chengsi was extremely concerned about the empress's Jing God's life, and made a big fuss about "fame" and "faith".
In order to prevent them from fighting for the crown prince, Princess Taiping also took great pains. Wu Zeyao's two nephews are dedicated to fame and the other to the house, and Princess Taiping has only one means left to use: to offer beauty to her son!
…… Jishan Fang is the closest square to the palace in Luoyang City, and the palace is across the Luoshui River. It is not only close to Luoshui, with beautiful scenery, but also close to the inner garden of the imperial palace, so it is the best place for the rich and officials of Luoyang to live.
On the occasion of Qixi Festival, the cruel gourmets of the three beautiful women that Princess Taiping and Yang Fan saw on Dingding Street lived in Jishanfang.
According to their age, the three teenagers are called Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong, and Zhang Changyi. In the ranking of Zhang family brothers, Zhang Yizhi is five, Zhang Changzong is sixth, and Zhang Changyi is seventh, they are all the grandsons of Zhang Xingcheng, the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty.
Now Zhang Yizhi has reached the age of 20, relying on the merits of his ancestors, Yin Bu is the Shangcheng Fengyu, this official has no real position, just a loose official who receives a fortune. Zhang Changzong and Zhang Changyi are his cousins, and because they are not yet twenty years old, they are not yet official.
Prime Minister Zhang Xingcheng was also a big deal back then, but it has declined to his grandchildren. The descendants of the Zhang family of this generation do not have any real power, although the Zhang brothers usually make friends with many children of the family, but in the high-ranking officials of Jishanfang, their family is far from prominent.
Princess Taiping was a little embarrassed after inquiring about the origin of their white spoon identities.
After seeing these three brothers, especially Zhang Changzong's beautiful beauty, Princess Taiping moved her mind. At present, the position of the crown prince is about to be guaranteed, but her prince brother has nothing to do, and the little bit of heart and eye left is all used to save his life.
Li Xian, the royal brother of Fangzhou, was even more incompetent, as long as he heard that the emperor had sent an envoy into Fangzhou, he was afraid that his mother would send him to kill him, and he was worried that he would be abused when he died, so he immediately wanted to hang himself. The little fire of the Li Tang clan is about to perish, but the two elder brothers can't count on it, and she has a daughter's family, but she can only provoke this matter.
Although she was worried about the current situation, there was nothing she could do in front of her domineering mother. It wasn't until she saw Zhang Changzong, a demon, that she thought of an idea: If she could take this Zhang Changzong as a helper and dedicate him to the mother emperor, would it have an impact on the mother emperor?
She is a daughter, but she has to choose a face for her mother, and she is inevitably unbearable, but Wu Zeyao has already had Xue Huaiyi and Imperial Doctor Shen, is there still one Zhang Changzong? Princess Taiping is now unable to let Li Tang Zuihou's bloodline have a way to live according to the normal way, and in front of the inheritance of Jiangshan Sheji and incense, this little section is nothing.
But after inquiring about the identity of this entry, Princess Taiping felt that it was a little difficult for her Jihua to be implemented. Zhang Changzong is a famous family, with fine clothes and food, a worry-free life, plus a beautiful face and a prosperous life, ask him to serve an old woman with goosebumps and crane hair, is he willing?
Of course, the empress can get supreme power and wealth, and some men don't care about her age. For example, Song Zhiwen, a talented man with a great reputation for poetry, once took the initiative to signal to the empress that he was willing to be the first face. It's a pity that although he is personable and talented, he has a bad breath problem, which is hated by the empress.
Will this Zhang Changzong serve the empress as a young man in order to gain power? Even if he covets power and is willing to serve the empress, is he willing to serve Li Tang, who has already declined, and be an enemy of the Wu clan?
Princess Qianjin offered Xue Huaiyi to Wu Zeyao, but after Xue Huaiyi gained power, she immediately got rid of Princess Qianjin, and Princess Qianjin didn't instruct him at all.
Thinking of this, Princess Taiping did not act rashly, she had to make sure that this entry could be used by her first. After some investigation, she found that several families adjacent to Zhang's mansion entered the house, and one family entered the house because Wang Wu of Huiji County was looking forward to it, so she thought about it.
