Chapter 92 The Seal of Huaiyi
The Feng Hall discusses affairs in Ziwei Palace, and Wu Chengsi, the left prime minister of Wenchang, "Mingtang Fu" (the most influential Mingtang Fu in history was written by Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a novel. Don't take it completely seriously). This Fu is written by everyone. It praises the magnificence of Mingtang and advocates the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Once this Fu is released, the whole hall will cheer.
The beginning of the fu is: "Mingtang is the palace where the emperor governs. It is in the yang of the country, in the direction of Si. It is vast in heaven and earth.
?The image is brilliant in the chapter of the sun and the moon.”
This sentence is based on the word "Son of Heaven". Isn't Wu's grand renovation of Mingtang just for governing the world? Now that Mingtang is completed, who should this governing emperor be? Wu Zetian's intention is obvious. Today, Wu Chengsi proposed the "Mingtang Fu" to meet his preferences, and of course it was also a test.
Wu Zetian had a good literary talent and had a good appreciation level. He immediately said, "This tribute is great, and this time, Ashishi worked hard and made contributions to the Mingtang!"
The flower monk Xue Huaiyi hid at the end of the crowd. Although he was arrogant and domineering and arrogant, he has now been much more restrained in such occasions since he was beaten up by Prime Minister Su Liangsi.
Speaking of which, what happened between him and Su Liangsi was interesting. Xue Huaiyi relied on Wu Zetian's favor and had no rules when entering and leaving the Forbidden Palace on weekdays, he would come whatever he wanted. Even when he encountered a collision with others, he was domineering and arrogant to beat him up.
Everyone knows his identity, so those who get beaten and suffer losses dare not speak out, and they can only swallow their anger.
However, after all, some people couldn't see the fact that Wu's family raised their heads, and Prime Minister Su Liangsi was one of them. One day, Xue Huaiyi entered and exited the Guanfeng Hall again and bumped into Su Liangsi head-on. Su Liangsi didn't say anything and asked someone to arrest him for his misconduct, and forced him to beat him up.
What a domineering and arrogant person Xue Huaiyi is? What if he gets beaten up? He immediately found Wu Zetian with injuries and cried and complained, asking Wu Zetian to punish Su Liangsi.
When Wu Zetian heard about this, she didn't understand that Su Liangsi did it on purpose? Su Liangsi's actions are well-founded, so can Wu Zetian cure others' crimes?
Although Wu's actions do whatever he wants, he is definitely not absurd person. Therefore, she could only secretly admit defeat and said to Xue Huaiyi: "In the future, Master must remember, never follow the prime minister's way, otherwise I will not be able to save myself if I am beaten by the prime minister!"
Only then did Xue Huaiyi realize that there was a prime minister in the court that was difficult to mess with, and most of the people who discussed affairs in Guanfeng Hall were prime ministers, so he was much more low-key and restrained on such occasions.
"The Queen of Heaven is clear and clear, Huaiyi has only done his duty! He dare not take any credit!" Xue Huaiyi said, finally responding appropriately.
Wu was in a good mood and said to the ministers: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since Master Xue has made contributions, he should reward him. What kind of reward do you think I should give Master A?"
Wu Chengsi said: "The Queen of Heaven, Xue, both civil and military, has the merits of Mingtang. He has dispatched troops and generals, and all parties have the style of being a general. I think that Xue can be appointed as the general of the Left Guard!"
"Coax!" Wu Chengsi said this, and the audience was in an uproar. Xue Huaiyi was named a general. He was just a little boy who was counting on him to lead troops to fight. Also, he was not meritorious and did he be appointed as a general? Could it be that he could use his ability to storm the horse in the bed?
Wu Chengsi's proposal was too ridiculous. How could these prime ministers tolerate it? Wu Chengsi's mortal enemy Li Zhaode stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, my military merits in the Tang Dynasty have been strictly regulated since Taizu. Those who have no military merits cannot be awarded the title of general. Although Xue Shi Jianming Tang has made great contributions, Mingtang has nothing to do with the general. The responsibilities of the left and right guards are of great importance. The candidates for generals must not be given lightly!"
As soon as Li Zhaode spoke, Su Liangsi and others all jumped out to object. All the prime ministers in Fengge Luantai Wenchang and Taiwan provinces all jumped out to object firmly. The contradictions instantly intensified, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
The smile on Wu Zetian's face gradually disappeared and his face became gloomy. Shangguan Wan'er stood behind her and secretly cried in her heart.
Wu Zetian decided to get rid of Liu Zhi, with the purpose of using this to shock everyone and determine her authority. Now it seems that her purpose has not been fully achieved.
The fact that Xue Huaiyi was named a general seemed ridiculous on the surface, but it seemed that Wu Zetian gave her close friends a reward, but in fact it was that simple?
This matter was used by Wu Zetian to test her influence and authority. Looking at the opposition in this room, what would Wu Zetian think in his heart? Are these prime ministers going to force her to take action further?
When Xue Huaiyi saw this scene, his heart was also very cold. His cunning was indifferent and immediately said, "Your Majesty, since you say this, Your Majesty doesn't have to make things difficult for you! I, Xue Huaiyi, just built a Mingtang, which is not a great contribution, and it is not as good as the hard work of the prime ministers!"
When Xue Huaiyi said this, his tone was quite unkind. Li Zhaode and others changed their faces. However, they could not completely ignore Wu Zetian's face in this occasion, and they did not want to swear at each other for a while, but the anger in their hearts had risen and was almost about to break out!
Wu Zetian gently patted the bed with his hand and said, "Old Master Di, do you want to sleep soundly?"
After Wu Zetian's statement, everyone turned back, and everyone realized that Di Renjie was present today. Yesterday, Wu Zetian recruited Di Renjie into the palace, which was considered to have broken a certain deadlock between the monarch and his subjects. Today, Di Renjie came to Guanfeng Palace to discuss matters, which was also a release of some signal.
But Di Renjie is really capable and insists that everyone ignores him. If Wu Zetian had not suddenly mentioned his name, he would have been mentioned in one sentence.
Di Renjie was named, and he laughed and said, "Your Majesty is guilty. My husband is old and greedy for books. Today's "Mingtang Fu" is wonderful and gorgeous. I silently silenced in my heart, and I was immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself. I must sleep well like a dream!"
Di Renjie said lightly, and Wu Zetian laughed out loud, and the tense atmosphere of the king and his ministers was relieved. Di Renjie paused and said, "By the way, about the rewards of Master Xue just now, I think that our Tang Dynasty has always promoted talents without any standards. If Master Xue is really a talented person, even if he is incompetent, it is not impossible to promote him in an extraordinary way! Just..."
"Old Di Guo said it well!"
Di Renjie said halfway, and then he was snatched away. When everyone saw that it was Lai Junchen, the chief censor. Lai Junchen stepped forward and said, "If you have any objections, you can go to the Yulin Army immediately. Today, the White Horse Temple and the Yulin Army fought against Cuju. King Wugong of Weiguo (Li Jing) once said that although Cuju is playing, it is like placing troops and deploying formations. Those who are good at Cuju must be good at fighting!
Master Xue is in White Horse Temple and is well-read for military books. The masters of White Horse Temple say that their skills are naturally not as good as those of the Yulin Army, but the Cuju Army in White Horse Temple dares to challenge the Yulin Army. When the victory or defeat is not decided, how can the Dukes just stop Xue from knowing the military?”
Lai Junchen said this, and it was even more uproar. What happened? The White Horse Temple actually fought with the Yulin Army? And it was today? Is this really a coincidence that Xue Huaiyi had planned it?
I have to say that Lai Junchen caught everyone off guard. Although Li Zhaode and others looked surprised, Wu Zetian was also confused. Even the person involved Xue Huaiyi was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Chapter completed!
