Chapter 104 Trouble is finally here
The discussion is over, and a multi-party game has come to an end, but the aftermath is still calm. First, the poem "Chao Tianyan" given by Luo Bin in court spread to China with lightning speed. Then, countless poor scholars echoed, and the call for reform in the imperial examination filled the government and the opposition, not to mention the reaction of students from other places. Thousands of scholars who traveled to Chang'an alone threw letters of appeal to the government of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Zhuangxing Poems and so on, which almost flooded the Ministry of Ceremonies. There was a grand occasion of writing on the bus at the end of the Han Dynasty. When Gao Zong heard about this situation, he deeply felt that this matter could not be delayed, so he officially issued an edict on the first day of May to announce the world to reform the imperial examination. Li Xian, the king of Lu, presided over the matter, and Li Xian, the king of Zhou, was the deputy, and the poor scholars in the world were over joy. The king of Luo Bin, who asked for the orders of the poor scholars, thus established the reputation of the Qingliu leader of the literary world. As a result, the king of Lu and Zhou also spread their virtuous reputation all over the world.
Li Xian naturally doesn't care about the virtuous name. For him, these fictitious things are useless. In the end of the court battle, it depends on the comparison of strength. In this sense, it is the best thing to get Song Xian and He Long, two subordinate officials from the Zhou royal palace, to serve in the court. Great benefits, of course, secretly arranging pushers to help Luo Binwang win the reputation of a clear leader in the literary world is also a good harvest. Unfortunately, Comrade Luo doesn't seem to appreciate Li Xian's feelings. He does not show the loyalty of "selling his body to repay kindness", but he does not refuse to sing with Li Xian, and the relationship between them is reluctant. It's just a matter of separation, but Li Xian doesn't care. Li Xian didn't plan to use Luo Binwang as a counselor in the first place. He was only willing to help a little favor under the inspiration of "great righteousness", and Li Xian could be satisfied. As for what is justice, it depends on how Li Xian needs to use to fool the old Luo at the right time.
When the imperial edict arrived, the name of the errand was available. Li Xian kept busy, but Li Xian hid. He didn't even show his face once, not to mention fulfilling the duties of a deputy. Every day, except for the daily essential practice of martial arts, he ignored everything else, and even the big The door rarely comes out, and it is completely like a big shopkeeper, which makes people really can't see what kind of medicine is sold in Li Xian's gourd.
Can't you understand? That's right. The reason why Li Xian is so honest is not without reason. It's just that he is very clear that the current situation seems to be calm. In fact, the undercurrent has begun to surge. If you are not careful, there is a danger of overturning, and all this can only come from one person, which is Queen Wu - this court battle has been sued. In the paragraph, the prince successfully got the river worker's messenger, which is the greatest benefit. Li Xian got the imperial examination, which can also be regarded as having the name of dignified intervention in the court affairs. The takeover can also be borrowed into the name of learning and politics, and take the opportunity to infiltrate the power into all departments of the court and even local states and counties. Although it is not as good as the prince's harvest, at least It's a lot of gain. As for Li Xian himself, he also made a little bit of sweetness. Gao Zong was obviously satisfied with the ability to counterbalance the court. The only thing he was afraid of was that he was the Empress Wu. She couldn't get anything. On the contrary, because of Li Xian's falsely shot, the North Gate bachelor he arranged failed to instigate, but became the laughing stock of the court. In this situation. Next, how can the Empress Wu, who has always been wild, give up? His means of counterattack are absolutely amazingly fierce. Li Xian does not want to be the preferred target to be attacked, and hiding to watch the limelight has become Li Xian's best choice.
Counting it, Li Xian has destroyed the Wu Hou's plan several times. He stubbornly made the two saints who should have appeared long ago and disappeared. There is no doubt that Li Xian is proud of it. The problem is that Li Xian has no intention. Just because he knew very well how ambitious the Empress Wu was and how sinister her wrist was, Li Xian felt that even if he had the memory of three generations, he did not see that he could win the battle, and how could he be careless and cautious. Therefore, Li Xian became an idle person in the court. Except for the occasional Shang Dynasty, he did not participate in anything and any work. If you don't take over, you can see it on the surface, but you are very comfortable.
The days of Xiaoyao are always short, even if it is pretending to be Xiaoyao. Well, the trouble that Li Xian was worried about finally came. It came so fast that even Li Xian was a little unexpected - on May 20, Xu Jingzong, the servant, impeached Liu Xiangdao, the minister of the Ministry of officials, and thought that the princes were virtuous and foolish. The character of a minister is a great crime of disrespect. In this book, the party of the Queen of Wu echoed, and the evidence was there. Liu Xiangdao could not argue, and the court situation became chaotic in an instant. The fierce confrontation between the forces began. Li Xian, who was originally idle at home, was called to the house by Li Xian to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"Seventh brother, I've heard about it. Liu Xiang said that this old man is going to be over this time. Does the seventh brother care about this?"
As soon as he saw Li Xian coming, Li Xian didn't say anything politely. He didn't even wait for Li Xian to sit down, so he spoke directly and asked. It was not surprising that he roared. Previously, because of the imperial examination, every time Li Xian went to the official department to do a job, he was often embarrassed at Liu Xiangdao. He had long seen Liu Xiang's displeatry. He was eager to fall. In addition to being able to break the prince's arm, it was more because Li Xian had an undisguised ambition for such a prominent position as the Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs.
I heard that I have heard about it for a long time. Although Li Xian has always been staying at home during this period, he seems to be indifferent to everything. In fact, Li Xian has never relaxed his vigilance. He has long ordered Lin Hu, who is responsible for intelligence collection, to pay close attention to the changes in the court. Xu Jingzong just went to this chapter. On this side, Li Xian has After receiving the detailed report, I even got the copy of Xu Jingzong's bullet seal. I know the whole thing very well. But when it comes to how to deal with the situation, I really don't think about it. At this time, when I saw Li Xian so excited, Li Xian's heart sank for no reason, but it didn't bring it to his face. He just nodded calmly and said, "I heard some wind, but I don't know the details. If Brother Six has any inside information, you might as well tell me."
"It's good for the seventh brother to know that this matter is still related to the seventh brother. Hey, I don't know what wrong medicine Liu Laoer took. When he was gathering with a group of sour literati, he unreasonably commented on the seventh brother, saying that every time the seventh brother disturbs in the government, he usually does not reveal it. It's really not the blessing of the court, but he never wanted to say that he had no intention. , listen to the heart, this, was reported to Mr. Xu's place. Ha, this time, it's good. It's his bad luck. There is really no one who can't participate in the person who wants to participate. That man has lost such an arm as the official. He should be guilty, hahaha..." Li Xian is obviously in a good mood. He simply made the story in a mocking tone. After talking about it, at the end, when he thought of the prince's loss of his arm, he was so excited that he laughed, and his pride was unconcealed.
Happy nothing. This thing is not as simple as you think. This is the strategy of one stone and three birds. I can't even see it. It's terrible! Li Xian was very proud, but Li Xian was depressed, just because he knew more than Li Xian. As soon as he learned about Xu Jingzong's book, Li Xian had ordered Lin Hu to investigate the matter with all his strength. He soon found a famous scholar who had participated in the literary party. According to his words, Li Xian could conclude that this matter was actually a conspiracy - it was At that time, a group of literati recited poems and talked about the world's affairs. When they were in high spirits, Jiang Mingyao, who denounced Liu Xiangdao, first turned the topic to the imperial examination at that time. He deliberately made a look of admiration for Li Xian, which triggered Liu Xiangdao's drunken words, which led to Xu Jingzong's impeachment. Together, it can be said that it is a hair and the whole body is moved. I'm afraid that all forces in the court will have to be involved in it. For such an important position as the Ministry of Public Affairs, a big scuffle is inevitable, and this obviously gives the Empress Wu the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, especially when Gaozong's old disease recurs and he can hardly be managed. It is also a good opportunity for the Empress Wu to get up and down - it is the first to take advantage of the chaos to attack the prince, and it is the second to take the opportunity to take advantage of politics, and it is the third to further provoke the princes to fight in. With these three, I'm afraid that the court will be in chaos.
"So that's it. My little brother's reckless disaster is really in vain. I don't know what the sixth brother cares about this?" It is one thing to understand the intention of the Queen Wu, and how to deal with it is another. So far, Li Xian has not come up with a proper strategy, but he really wants to hear Li Xian's views on this matter.
"The ancients said: the sky and it are ominous to abandon it. What do you think of the seventh brother?" Li Xian stepped into the court this time. He had the right power to do things, and his power was strengthened. He was willing to compete for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Public Affairs. At this time, when he saw Li Xian's question, he said it without concealment.
The importance of the minister of the Ministry of Li can not be said. Whoever can master the Ministry of Li has the possibility of controlling the situation. Generally speaking, the person who can hold this position must be the emperor's favorite minister. Previously, Liu Xiangdao was able to take charge of this position with the prince's confidant, which was an aus. It was fundamentally because Emperor Gaozong had the intention to support him. In this sense, even if Liu Xiangdao fell down, the superior is likely to be an important minister of the prince. However, there must be a precondition for this, that is, Gao Zong can also be in charge of the government in person, but at present, Gao Zong is seriously ill and has already hidged in Penglai Palace (Daming Palace) to recover. There is almost no possibility of personal governance. It is not difficult for the prince to keep the position of the minister of the Ministry under the pressure of the Empress Wu. In other words, Li Xian has no possibility of fighting. Not to mention Li Xian's heart, he is as calm as Li Xian, but he is also moved by it. However, whether he should make this move makes Li Xian hesitate. , the eyebrows are deeply locked into meditation...
