The Battle of the Eastern Palace
Did Ziqing ask for it like this? Outside the announcement room, everyone looked at Jiaqin Jiliu behind him in surprise, his face not good-looking. Although Emperor Zhenguan was smiling and drove everyone out of the hall, everyone's hearts were as heavy as a mountain.
If Emperor Zhenguan was so easy to talk to, he wouldn't be called the founding emperor. The word "killing and decisiveness" can definitely be applied to today's emperor. How could he allow anyone to challenge his authority? Look, Master Cui Ren is also following him
He was an old minister, but something was wrong, so he was still deprived of his title and official position, and was imprisoned. Lu Qingyun made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but he was still imprisoned and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.
Who knows what the consequences will be in the future! Look again, the current prince is the flesh and blood of Emperor Zhenguan, and he can be abolished at will. If it were not blocked by the ministers, I am afraid that at this time, people would have been sent to worship the heaven and the Taimiao.
The imperial edict announced this news. This all demonstrates the majesty of the current emperor. Isn't it that anyone can challenge it, not even his own flesh and blood. What's more, these low-level officers who hold military power use their
The threat of military power to Your Majesty is even more frightening than Master Cui Ren interfering with the Imperial Guards. It is simply a way to die. How can we let such a thing happen again today? But how will this matter be resolved? Feng Wenwen sighed
He breathed a sigh of relief. He was known as the most wise man in the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, he had no idea in his mind. He could not guess what decision the wise and powerful Emperor Zhenguan would make, and what would happen after making such a decision.
The consequences of this were not something that a minister of his could have guessed, but vaguely, he knew that something called a storm was about to sweep across the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of this, Li Wen couldn't help but tighten his clothes, as if
It felt like a cold wind was blowing into my body.
"Master Chief Assistant, what do you think we should do this time?" Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Although Wang Jia appears to be a Confucian and magnanimous person, in fact, he is a complete hypocrite.
, once this person takes control of the power, and we abandon the Li family and assist His Majesty, we will inevitably be jealous of him! At that time, we will fall into his hands, and he may not accuse us of leaking secrets, but in
It is still possible to be humiliated by him in court. Now that I think about it, I am not willing to accept it!" The other three, including Fang Xuanling, nodded, with approval on their faces. Obviously these three people
The thoughts in my heart are the same.
"There is no evil in his heart. No matter how much he makes things difficult, what can he do? Your Majesty is wise and powerful. There will be a day when the truth will be revealed after this. If Wang Jia is wise, he will not make things too difficult for us. Isn't he afraid that after the matter is over, we will
Can you make things difficult for him?" Juwen said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not worried about this matter, but I am worried about other things." "I wonder what you are worried about, sir?" Fang Xuanling asked quickly.
"It's a matter of military admonishment." Feng Wenwen came with an inexplicable look in his eyes and said calmly: "Your Majesty is a veteran of the battlefield. He conquered this country and has a strong personality. Back then, for the matter of Sanniangzi, he sent
People went to the grassland to assassinate Chuluo Khan. It can be seen that these generals who admonished soldiers would have no good luck, and how could His Majesty agree to them. But His Majesty agreed. Do you think there is any problem in this? I am
I’m worried about what happens after this.”
"More! These guys are actually threatening me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I should show them some shame." At this time, Lu Zhaoying, who was walking at the end, snorted coldly, with a black face filled with anger. Seeing everyone
Outside, he just snorted coldly and left without even saying hello. When everyone saw this, they could only sigh deeply.
"Have you seen that His Highness Prince Liang probably also thinks that we are the ones who spread the secrets of the imperial court? How unjust!" Du Ruhui showed a wry smile on his lips.
"Let's go! Let's go! Your Majesty is about to test the results of the martial arts students. How strange it is! These guys haven't graduated yet. What is the purpose of your Majesty's test at this time?" Fang Xuanling frowned.
When I heard this, my eyes suddenly flashed, my face changed, I thought about it, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is your Majesty! I admire you to death."
"Why are you laughing, Lord Ju?" Wei Zheng said dissatisfied.
"Everyone, the military restructuring is inevitable. You should go back and make preparations early! So as not to panic later. I just don't know the standing army that your Majesty is planning to form." A wry smile appeared on Ben Wenwen's face.
Said: "If it hadn't been for this matter, there might have been a turn for the better in establishing a standing army. But this matter happened in the court. If Your Majesty doesn't carry this matter through to the end, there will be no imperial majesty, and how can he control the world?
How can you manage us ministers? Your Majesty has no way out in this matter. A standing army must be established. Now we ministers can only support this one. There is no way out.
It’s just that at this time, it’s still too late to make some preparations.”
"Huh, that's the only way it can be." Fang Xuanling and others are also understanding people. As soon as they heard the words in the text, they understood the final result of the matter. The easiest way to form a standing army is to draw out the elites from each Zhechong Prefecture.
, re-disorganize them, transform them into standing armies as soon as possible, get rid of their status as farmers, and become a permanent...worker six." Serving as soldiers to eat food and receive military pay will become the basis for their survival. With..." Beizhuo Ancient Gong
Become a Lord and the opportunity to acquire land will be gone forever. There will be many variables, etc., which require officials from the three provinces and six ministries and the General Staff to study and decide together. These require a lot of
time. When everyone thought of this, a complex look suddenly appeared on their faces, and they walked towards the outside of the imperial city while talking.
"Hey! Eunuch Qin, what are you doing? What kind of imperial edict are you going to declare?" Suddenly Wei Zheng looked behind him in surprise, and everyone also looked, only to see more than a dozen chamberlains holding the imperial edict in their hands, coming towards the outside of the palace, and the leader was
Qin Jiudao.
"Eunuch Qin, where did you go to issue the imperial edict? Why was it not verified by Xuande Hall? Does your Majesty have a secret edict?" Changsun Wuji asked with a frown. According to the rules of the Tang Empire, after the emperor's edict was issued,
, can only be implemented after being reviewed by the ministers of Xuande Hall. For example, if some imperial edicts are very absurd, several ministers in Xuande Hall have the right to refute it. That's why Changsun Wuji asked this question.
"Oh, this is an imperial edict from your majesty to the general. It is a transfer of the generals in the army, not a reward from the generals in the army." Qin Jiudao said with a smile.
"Transfer of generals in the army?" Ju Wenwen's face changed after hearing this, and he said in surprise: "How are you going to mobilize your Majesty? Haha, forget it, forget it. Just pretend that I haven't asked." Ben Wenwen understood it instantly.
He asked as if he was borrowing money, so he quickly waved his hand and said. Lu Zhaoci is the emperor who is about to seize the world. He holds the military power firmly in his hands. No one can get involved, not even the ministers in Xuande Hall.
Similarly, the transfer of military generals was handled by Lu Zhaoci. Xuande Hall had no right to interfere. Even the General Staff sometimes just followed orders and had no chance to intervene.
"The servant took his leave. Seeing this, Qin Jiudao quickly nodded to everyone, led a dozen servants and left alone, ignoring the solemn look in everyone's eyes.
"Your Majesty no longer trusts the Jin Yiwei, nor does he trust the officers from all over the country. This large-scale transfer is proof that your Majesty has made up his mind to form a standing army." Changsun Wuji frowned, looked at Lu Zhaoying on the side and said: "
Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty once ordered His Majesty to pick off high-ranking officers at Zuoyaowei and learn the general's military training routine? I don't know if this is true.
"That's right." Lu Zhaoying frowned and said, "Okay now, when it comes to such a thing, I still don't know what the emperor's opinion is? Let me know what leaked the news later.
He led hundreds of brothers to beat gongs and drums outside his house, and I quarreled him to death." Lu Zhaoying glanced at everyone fiercely, and his appearance made everyone feel funny, but it was difficult to say anything.
"Let's go, let's go! If you think about His Majesty's imperial edict, we will soon understand its contents." Feng Wenwen sighed and shook his head. There were too many things that happened today, and even I have not yet heard of it.
Turning a corner, he had to think carefully about what was the mystery behind this matter. Although the leakage of secrets was of great concern, this person admitted that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he felt a little aggrieved for the time being.
It's nothing. The truth will be revealed one day in the future, but Lu Zhaoci's actions today are surprising. Emperor Zhenguan actually wants to depose the prince. According to Feng Wenwen's many years of experience, he knows that Lu Zhaoci's words are not just talk.
Just for fun, I may have had this idea for a long time, but I don’t know, but is His Majesty really ready for this? The aristocratic families in Kanto regard the position of the East Palace as a forbidden business and cannot allow others to get involved.
Nowadays, these people are issuing orders to the policies promulgated by the imperial court. Although they are suspected of violating the policies, they still implement most of them. Everyone knows what these people have in mind. They are just waiting for the prince to ascend the throne and get some benefits from it. But if
If the prince is deposed at this time, I am afraid that the imperial decree will be difficult to implement in Guandong and will not be able to get out of Hulao Pass. Thinking about this article, Lu Zhaoci would not be unaware of this matter, but today he actually spoke of deposing the prince.
, although he was finally persuaded to go back by the ministers, but there will be a second time after the first time. The position of the Prince of the East Palace is not as stable as it seems! Ben Wenwen sighed, ignored everyone, and walked on by himself.
Heading forward, we walked towards the outside of the palace...
"The imperial edict ordered General Xu Shiji, the general of sudden cavalry, to stay in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and garrison Hulao Pass. He selected three thousand warriors from the army to serve him.
Kudos to this!"
"The imperial edict orders Chi Jingde, the Duke of Hubei Province, to stay at Zhaguan and garrison Huangguan. He selects three thousand Huben warriors to be dispatched. I hereby express my gratitude!" "The imperial edict orders Duke Cheng Yaojin of the State of Hu to stay at the Lantian camp and guard the capital.
, and selected five thousand warriors and warriors to wait for dispatch, and admire this."
"The imperial edict orders Luo Shixin, Duke of Chongqing, to stay as Bashang's guard, stationed at Bashang's camp, and guard the capital. He also selects 5,000 Huben warriors to wait for dispatch. I admire this."
Dozens of edicts were issued to various general offices, causing a sensation in the capital. The army, which had not experienced any major incidents in nearly a year, was stunned by the dozens of edicts this time. The streets and alleys in Chang'an City were filled with rumors.
Regarding this matter. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has made some changes, or is preparing for war again? But what is the purpose of selecting these tens of thousands of people from the entire army?
Just when many civil and military officials in Chang'an City were speculating on His Majesty the Emperor's intentions, Wang Gua, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, also welcomed an angel, but he was asked to thoroughly investigate the leakage of court secrets. Also cooperating in the investigation was Dr. Sun, the imperial censor.
Voga.
"It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to investigate this matter thoroughly. What I didn't expect was that His Majesty would actually leave this matter to me to investigate. It's really unpredictable!" Wang Jia looked at the imperial edict next to him, with a strange smile on his face.
He came and said calmly: "Looking at His Majesty's deployment, it seems that he wants to solve the immediate troubles in one fell swoop. It's a pity that those children of the aristocratic families thought that this would threaten His Majesty and make His Majesty give up the idea of forming a standing army. They are really naive.
Hum, your Majesty must have been wary of those children from aristocratic families joining the army for a long time, but he just had no excuse. Now, now he finally has an excuse, and it can also allow His Majesty's plan to form a standing army to be implemented. I really didn't expect it.
Ah! Only this time, the noise was too loud. One of the seven auxiliary ministers of the imperial court was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment, and the other six were all subjects of suspicion. Even King Liang could not escape. These
It’s hard to handle the fact that I, a young doctor, was asked to interrogate me! These people are all important officials of the imperial court. If I go too far, I’m afraid these people won’t be able to spare me, Wang Jia, in the future. “Hmph. This Wei Siyan, I’m afraid, isn’t it either.
What a good person. But how to resolve this matter is the most important. If you want to be satisfied in all aspects, the most important thing is to convince the world. But where can you find this person? Who can be the scapegoat? What a pity.
Yes. This Lu Qingyun has been sent to prison, otherwise, we can still get some useful information from him. Hey! This person is a good candidate. Anyway, he has provoked great anger and resentment in the court by arbitrarily attacking the Jin Yiwei.
I don’t know how many people he has offended, and he is in charge of Jinyiwei. Although he has received a lot of information, it is precisely because of this that there is a possibility of leakage. It would be a good choice to blame everything on him. Anyway,
One of the seven seats in the Xuande Hall has been vacated. If I solve this case, and with the reputation of my Wang family, it is not impossible to enter the Xuande Hall. Thinking of this, Wang Jia suddenly showed a look of pride on his face.
"My concubine pays homage to the prince." Lu Zhaoying's face was full of dark clouds and she was in an extremely bad mood. As soon as she returned to the palace, she saw the side concubine Li standing in the hall with a smiling face. "Why is my beloved concubine here?" Lu Zhaoying said on her face.
There was a hint of surprise on his face. This main hall was not something ordinary people could come to casually. Even though Li was very favored in Prince Liang's palace, he could not enter the main hall unless it was necessary.
These are the rules of the palace and no one can break them.
"My sister is heavy, so I asked my concubine to come to meet the prince." The sister Li refers to is the Changsun family, who is also the clan sister of Changsun Wuji. Thanks to Lu Zhaoying's unremitting efforts, she is pregnant again this time, and her body is getting heavier day by day.
Can't move too far.
"I know. Ping Zhaoying nodded when he heard this, and allowed Mr. Li to take off his official robe and change into ordinary clothes, and then the poison was removed from the backyard.
"Tell me! I have something to ask for again. Hey, don't think you hid it well. If you had nothing to ask me for, why would you be waiting in the hall?" A smile appeared on Lu Zhaoying's lips.
"Your Majesty is indeed smart." Mrs. Li suddenly smiled, holding Lu Zhaoying's right hand, and said with a sweet smile: "I heard that Your Highness was ordered by Your Majesty to select outstanding talents from Zuo Yanwei's army. Do you think you can use them for Your Majesty's use?"
"You are quite well informed." Lu Zhaoying nodded and said, "His Majesty has indeed issued an order. Although this matter is confidential, there are no secrets in Chang'an City. Even the content of His Majesty's conversation in the West Wind Pavilion is unknown.
It has been spread out, and you don’t think it’s strange to know about this matter. However, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you! You are a female generation, and you are not the third wife of the Li family who lives in Zhongnan Mountain. What is the use of knowing this matter?
?”
"I have an elder brother who is very brave. He wants to join the Zuo Banwei army. Please ask your prince for permission. Li Shi smiled tenderly and said: "My lord, you also know that I, the Li family of Longxi, am the queen of the generals. Although the Li family of the previous dynasty
After claiming to be the Li family of Longxi, humph, in fact, he is just a Xianbei miscellaneous person. How can I be from Longxi? How can I, the Li family of Longxi, be compared to Li Yuan? Just say that my brother is the outstanding one of my Li family.
Although he is not as talented and brave as His Highness, ordinary dozen people cannot get close to him, and he is also a first-class hero. Why don't Your Highness recruit him into the army as a follower? Not only can he serve the imperial court, but more importantly
Yes, you can also try to win a family background. My lord, what do you think?"
"This matter, please think about it again." Lu Zhaoying thought about it and frowned.
"Can't the prince even do this little thing?" Mrs. Li had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"If other ministers did this, the emperor might not say anything, but if my younger brother did it, I'm afraid the emperor would be angry.
Lu Zhaoying thought for a while and sighed deeply.
"Could it be that His Majesty doesn't trust the prince?" Li's expression changed and she asked in surprise: "Otherwise, why would His Majesty have so many taboos about doing such a small thing?" If you want to know what happened next, please let me know.
