Chapter 145: Xindu Meteorology

On October 3 of the first year of Dazu, Empress Wu Zetian led the Manchu Dynasty to leave Luoyang and Chang'an. On October 22, Wu Zetian arrived in Chang'an, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the yuan to the first year of Chang'an.

Wu Zetian ascended the throne as the emperor in Luoyang, and now he is still in Chang'an, it is by no means a simple move to the capital, everyone knows that this means that the female emperor who took away the Tang Dynasty from her son is ready to return the country to her son.

After many secret discussions with a group of henchmen, Wu Sansi has adjusted the strategy of the Wu family, he no longer cares about the throne, but lower-key to consolidate his shili foundation, from time to time to visit the crown prince Li Xian, invite him to travel together, and drink with him.

In officialdom, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, whether they are friends or foes does not depend on the feelings of both parties, but on whether the two sides have common interests. Wu Sansi was close to Li Xian, on the one hand, to unite the Li clan against Erzhang, and on the other hand, to continue to maintain the Wu clan's scenery after the transition of imperial power.

After the emperor moved the capital, the military power was divided into three, the southern Ya forbidden army was handed over to the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, the northern Ya forbidden army was still controlled by the Wu clan, and the left and right Yu Linwei and the core of the thousand cavalry battalion of Yu Linwei who defended the palace were controlled by the emperor's most trusted generals, and the throne was no longer with him, Wu Sansi had to change his course, determined to strengthen his relatives shili, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

During the days when the empress moved the capital to Chang'an, the court was peaceful, and the most common thing everyone did was to "visit relatives and friends". After the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, officials bought houses and land in Chang'an, and the old ministers who moved to Luoyang with the emperor from Chang'an had old houses in Chang'an, and the new magnates built new houses one after another.

As the location of the mansion changes, so does the relationship between the powerful, and some of the former enemies are turning into friends. Some close friends are turning friends into enemies. Of course, it was not the change in the location of their mansion that played a role, but as the situation became clearer, they had new options.

Guanzhong local shili is also quiet and thoughtful, the emperor has just moved the capital, it is a great opportunity for them to establish contact with the powerful ministers who moved the capital with the Son of Heaven, so they have frequent contact with the important ministers of the imperial court, Fan Chuan Du Jingting after the pain of losing a child gradually subsided, but also took active action, today is inviting an old friend, the current prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty Wei Yuanzhong to visit Quchi.

Yang Fan's family was one of the first officials to move to Chang'an. The mansion built by the Yang family on the side of Longqing Pond was completed two months ago, and the mansion is small and medium-sized. The windows are shaded, the secluded room is connected to each other, the loop is four, and the households are self-passing. It is extremely elegant and beautiful.

In the spacious courtyard, there is an undulating slope at the west courtyard wall. Surrounded by green water at the foot of the ridge. The flowers and trees on the ridge are luxuriant, there are several pine trees, thousands of green bamboo poles, and then go inside, strange flowers and plants, fragrant and fragrant. There is a small temple in the middle, there is a laurel tree behind the temple, and there is a fragrant bone of Ning Ke buried under the tree.

In addition to Yang Fan coming to pay tribute at four o'clock, this small hill has become the favorite place for Yang Sirong and Yang Nianzu to play. Anu's son Xiao Ji also often runs around in his mother's arms, jumping up and down to follow his brother and sister to play on the slope, but he is still too young to watch his brother and sister at ease.

Yang Daier is now raised in the Yang family, but no outsiders know except for the people in the inner house, Gu Zhuting has been five months pregnant, and only when she gives birth in October can it be announced that she gave birth to a pair of twins, and then Yang Daier's existence can be announced.

Fortunately, Gu Zhuting is a concubine, Yang Fan is a military general, and he has nothing to do with hundreds of officials in the court, he doesn't want to make a big deal, and others will not pay attention to the concubine born to a concubine in the Yang family.

Today, Princess Anle's Mansion on the left side of the Yang family's mansion has been completed, while the Fifth Prince's Mansion on the right has just been half-built and is beginning to take shape.

At the back of Yang Fan's mansion, a wall is also under construction, and the mansion of Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Mrs. Zheng, is built there, with the door facing the other side, and the back garden of the two families is only separated by a wall. Just wait for the mansion to be completed, and a corner door is carved on the wall, and the two families can come and go freely, as long as Wan'er returns to the house, she can easily enter and exit the Yang Mansion, meet her lover, and visit her beloved daughter.

On the verdant and verdant slope, there is a five-cornered pavilion, the small pavilion is hidden between the pines and cypresses, and a corner of the eaves looms. The slope is planted with pine and cypress fruit trees, exotic flowers and plants. In the golden autumn of October, the trees are verdant, the fruits are abundant, the flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is fragrant.

There were two cups of tea in the middle of the small pavilion, and Yang Fan and Princess Taiping sat opposite each other, smiling and whispering.

In the shade of flowers, there are occasional childish voices of children, but it is Yang Sirong and Yang Nianzu sisters and brothers, who often go to the forest to play under the care of the third sister and Taomei. Yang Fan is a little laissez-faire towards his son, although he is very strict in his studies, he usually does not treat him as a queen of eunuchs and a son of a noble prince to raise him.

At a young age, Yang Nianzu was naughty, and learned martial arts with his mother and aunt, and his skills were more flexible than Yang Fan when he was a teenager, and he would climb trees from time to time, like an unruly wild monkey.

Yang Sirong was also damaged by her younger brother, and if Taomei and the third sister were not careful, she would tuck the red dress, use her hands and feet together, and quickly climb up the tree. When Taomei and the third sister looked around blankly, calling "little lady" everywhere, she was already sitting on the tree, picking pears and begonias from her side, wiping them with her red skirt, and eating them with a click.

Princess Taiping took a sip of the yellow and clear tea soup, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, your way of eating, taste it carefully, it really has a different taste." ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "I also learned from others, at the beginning of drinking tea was just refreshing and relieving, but now it is really addictive." ”

There is a small red clay stove next to the stone table, and there is a tea thread on the stove, Yang Fan sifted a bowl of tea for Taiping, and said: "Zhang Yizhi is going to dedicate the "Three Teachings Zhuying" to the Son of Heaven in the near future, as a congratulatory gift for the emperor to move the capital. This is a major cultural and educational event, the emperor will have a reward, according to the previous agreement, you should join the Wu clan to enter the table together, and persuade the Son of Heaven to crown them kings. ”

Princess Taiping stretched out her slender onion fingers, gently placed them on the edge of the jade-like cup, and glanced at him with charming and narrow phoenix eyes, and said, "Do you know how big the two shili are now?" Their shili is getting stronger and stronger, and if the mother emperor pushes the boat down the river, she will really crown them kings. Then Erzhang is another county king family in this dynasty after the Wu family, and Erzhang is even more in the limelight. ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No, the emperor will not agree." ”

Princess Taiping raised her good-looking moth eyebrows slightly, and said teasingly: "Oh? That's my mother, and you seem to know her better than I do. ”

Yang Fan smiled: "Of course. Speaking of which, your mother is my mother-in-law, and I, as a son-in-law, don't figure out how to please her precious daughter because of my mother-in-law's temperament. ”

Princess Taiping's jade face was reddish. Jiao said angrily: "Flamboyant tongue, begging for a beating!" ”

Taiping raised his legs and wanted to kick, but Yang Fan's legs were closed one by one and took advantage of the situation. Taiping was slightly embarrassed and glanced around uneasily. Said softly, "Let go." Be careful to be seen by your precious son, it's embarrassing. ”

Yang Fan smiled: "There is a table to cover, he can't see it." As he spoke, his legs clamped tighter, and he touched her round thighs even harder, and Yang Fan's fingertips just touched the tender flesh on the inner thighs, and he was slapped away by Taiping. With a red face, he said, "Then you say, why won't the mother queen agree?" ”

Yang Fan stopped teasing her, withdrew his hand, and deliberately sniffed at the end of his nose. made a squinting look, in exchange for Taiping's charming and delicate eyes, and then said: "Have you noticed, although the speed of Erzhang's promotion is unmatched, but the two of them have almost never held a real important position." ”

Princess Taiping gently turned the teacup and listened attentively.

Yang Fan said: "Zhang Changzong once sent an envoy to Yanzhou and Chang'an as a messenger, but these were all temporary envoys, just like when Xue Huaiyi led his troops to crusade against the Turks, although he led more than 100,000 heavy troops, but he was also a temporary envoy. ”

Princess Taiping raised her teacup and took a thoughtful sip.

Yang Fan said: "In the first dynasty, the empress had to change five prime ministers in an average year, and the prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were more frequent, and there was no second one since ancient times." The emperor's frequent change of prime ministers was the result of fierce rivalry between the parties in the court, but it was also the emperor's intention to keep power firmly in his own hands in this way.

So far, among the royal family and relatives, only Wu Chengsi has served as prime minister for a short time, and there is no one else. Although Erzhang is favored, he has always been out of contact with the phase, it can be seen that although the emperor is old, some things are still seen very clearly, and she knows that if Erzhang interferes too much in the court, it will be a disaster for the court, and it will also be a disaster for themselves. ”

Princess Taiping said: "Su Wei and Ji Wei interceded with Ji Jing, and now they have returned to Beijing and resumed their important positions. Through the compilation of "Three Teachings Zhuying", Zhang Yizhi also recruited a large number of scholars and celebrities, among which Zhang Shuo, Li Qiao and others were all important ministers of the imperial court, and Li Zhenxiu and Yang Zaisi had long been attached to Erzhang. Now Wei Chengqing and Wei Sili of the Wei family are also very close to Erzhang, among which there are only five people who are prime ministers, although Erzhang has never become the prime minister, but they have such a big shili, shouldn't they be vigilant? ”

Yang Fan said: "Their holy grace is long, naturally there are people who stutter, just like Xue Huaiyi back then, King Liang, King Wei and many prime ministers are not leading horses and stirrups for them, trying their best to tie the knots?" But is their relationship a solid political alliance? Besides, Erzhang doesn't know the way of power at all, and he can't really grasp these shili in his hands. They can also be used against these people when they are going well, and once they encounter adversity, these people will be scattered. ”

"Besides, in addition to the regime, the most important thing is military power, and the emperor is even more cautious at this point, never letting the two get involved. The emperor obviously wants them to take the path of honors, if they are crowned kings this time, and from then on, there will be no reward and no seal, what will they do in the future? So you don't have to worry at all. ”

Princess Taiping was persuaded, but said in her mouth: "Your mouth, the dead can be said to be alive, that's it, what you say you should do, who calls someone your woman." ”

Yang Fan smiled: "I'm not just a mouth, I have something on my body, and I can also make the living become 'dead'." ”

"Huh?"

Taiping raised his eyes in surprise, and heard Yang Fan smile narrowly: "Even if you don't die, you can make Lingyue girl scream, 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die!'" ’”

Princess Taiping's pretty face turned red and said, "I'm going to kill you, what nonsense are you talking about!" After saying this, his face turned even redder.

Yang Fan leaned over slightly and said softly, "Don't leave today." ”

Princess Taiping looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm not leaving, do you have a place for me to live?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Yes! I built a red mansion in the garden, and there was a special bed upstairs, and the bed was very large, very strong, and could afford to toss. ”

Rao is Taiping has always been generous, and her face was flushed by what he said, but her neat white teeth gently bit Feng Ze's sexy red lips, her eyes flowed, and she looked at Yang Fan with watery eyes, but she didn't speak again, obviously acquiescing to Yang Fan's request.

At this moment, I heard a strange cry in the distance: "Ouch, what is this...... Yes! You little beast! ”

Yang Fan was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Wu Yizong? ”

Then there was the sound of a child's laughter, and a woman said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Yang Fan lost his voice and said: "It's Nianzu and the third sister." You wait here, I'll take a look! With that, he flew away and swept towards the place where the sound had originated.

P: Three days at the end of the month, I sincerely ask you for a monthly pass!.
