Chapter 186 Three imperial edicts
"Li Zhaode... do you know that you are guilty?" Wu Zetian turned around and looked at Li Zhaode who was muttering to himself.
At this time, Li Zhaode looked unbelievable. He really didn't expect that there was actually a food like potatoes, and what he didn't expect was that the potatoes really had such a large yield.
What does this mean? It means that Emperor Gaozong's god is real. If Emperor Gaozong's god is real, then the possession just now is also real. This means that Emperor Gaozong is still helping the current emperor. This is something that Li Zhaode can't figure out, and he can't figure it out at all.
Although Wu Zetian is very good now, Emperor Gaozong should help him with the Li Tang royal family?
In an instant, it seemed that Li Zhaode's belief had collapsed a little. He had been desperately defending the Li Tang royal family all his life, and it was like a joke in the end.
"Li Zhaode... do you know your guilt?" Wu Zetian shouted again.
Finally, Li Zhaode, who was muttering to himself, heard it, and then Li Zhaode knelt down silently, then took off his official hat, and said with a trembling corner of his mouth: "Li Zhaode voluntarily resigned from the position of prime minister...!"
"Okay... Now I'm giving the first imperial edict to remove Li Zhaode from the position of Prime Minister and demoted to governor..." After saying that, Li Zhaode knelt down and thanked him.
At this time, Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "Okay... Now my great Zhoutian has auspiciousness, and potatoes appear... In the future, my great Zhoutian will no longer be hungry. Now I will issue the second imperial edict.
Dazhou is making every effort to popularize potato planting. I will let potato plant all over Dazhou in two years.
My third imperial edict is to immediately increase 30,000 troops to the Western Regions to establish the four towns in Anxi...!"
"Long live...Long live...Long live...Long live...!"
After the three imperial edicts were issued... all the ministers quickly knelt down and shouted long live. They thought that this matter was over, so it would be too naive. Today, those who had dealt with Wu Zetian together in the court would not have a good ending, including Di Renjie.
................
The ministers finally left, and at this time, the descendants of Ang Lee, Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Zetian and some palace maids and eunuchs.
At this time, Wu Zetian looked at Ang Lee with a smile and said, "An'er...it's really thanks to you this time..."
"Grandma...I really don't know what happened. I set up a news collection organization called Di Ting. They told me that Li Zhaode connected with the ministers and wanted to deal with his grandmother with insufficient food and grass, so that he would not allow his grandmother to increase troops to the Western Regions.
I hurried over and wanted to use potatoes as auspicious things to refute those ministers, but before I could tell them that they were dumbfounded, I was stunned. Later, I became conscious again and saw the ministers kneeling on me and calling me as Emperor Gaozong.
Grandma...What happened to me just now?"
Looking at Ang Lee, Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to know, you don't need to know anything. You just need to remember, grandma, thank you... When you know grandma is in trouble, you are the only one who still wants to fight for grandma.
Alas...you are really my grandmother's good grandson."
"Grandma... You are so nice to me. If I don't treat you well, then am I still a human being... No matter who it is, as long as you dare to bully grandma, Li Anding will fight to the death."
"Okay...my good grandson, I swear that I will never let my grandson down!" Wu Zetian was really moved at this time. You must know that Wu Zetian is not only good to Ang Lee.
Wu Zetian was also very nice to his daughter, nephew, and the capital of his face, but when Wu Zetian needed them, where were they?
At this time, only his grandson stepped forward, so Wu Zetian was very moved by Ang Lee.
"By the way...good grandson, how do you eat this potato..." Wu Zetian looked at Ang Lee and asked.
"Ah..." Ang Lee laughed: "Then my grandson will show his skills to my grandmother today...!"
"Oh... that's really great... I'm convinced again today!" After saying that, Wu Zetian laughed, and soon, Ang Lee took more than a dozen big potatoes and went to Jixian Temple.
Vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, mutton stewed potatoes, roasted potatoes, potato egg soup... All the simple ways to eat at home were used by Ang Lee. Seeing so many ways to eat them, Wu Zetian smiled happily after tasting the taste.
Because Wu Zetian knew that this potato would become one of his political achievements... and it would be a political achievements that will last forever. Why would Wu Zetian be unhappy? While eating, she looked at her grandson. Wu Zetian was very happy and very happy.
....................................................
The next day... Wu Zetian's three imperial edicts were clearly ordered to be the world. Li Zhaode was demoted to the governor. When he left Luoyang, no one dared to send him off. He left very lonely, and even Ji Xu did not go because he was really afraid of being implicated.
It's useless to be afraid of being implicated.
After Li Zhaode left Luoyang, the other five prime ministers... Dou Lu Qinwang, Wei Juyuan, Du Jingjian, Su Weidao, and Lu Yuanfang were all demoted to the state governors.
Later, someone beat the dog in the water, and Deng wrote an article "Shuo Lun" in the notes of the emperor, detailing the fact that Li Zhaode was authoritarian. Fengge's servant Zheng Hongmin immediately submitted this article to the emperor.
After reading it, Wu Zetian issued an order, and cut Li Zhaode's salary for three years and then demoted him to a county lieutenant.
At the same time, Wu Zetian made drastic moves and promoted Su Liangsi, Lou Shide, Yao Shu, Zhang Jianzhi, and Wei Anshi as prime ministers... Among them, Zhang Jianzhi and Wei Anshi were the strong guarantees of Li An, the King of Jie County.
Wu Zetian agreed without thinking. At this time, Wu Zetian's trust in Ang Lee had reached its highest point, and someone would soon test Ang Lee's position in Wu Zetian's mind. This test really made the temptation know what pampering means.
Then... potatoes began to be planted and would be planted in a land of more than 100 acres outside Luoyang. This time, a unit of 3,000 people would specifically protect this land. It can be seen that Wu Zetian's attention to potatoes.
Soon, 30,000 Great Zhou soldiers also went to the four towns of Anxi. This powerful measure made the four towns of Anxi stable from then on, and there was no recurrence until the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
However, this incident is not over yet, because this increase in troops directly caused a dangerous "Asian War".
The Western Turks, the Later Turks, the Shiwei, and the Tubo attacked Wuzhou from almost the same time. The strength of these four countries should not be underestimated. They were all great countries with strong fighting power at that time, with strong people, skillful bows and horses, and warlike nations.
According to historical records, only one post-Turkish army had 400,000 troops, which invaded all surrounding ethnic groups all year round. The Western Turks later destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, and its "Great Turkism" is still rampant. Tubo has fought with the Tang Dynasty for more than 20 years, and has won and lost. Shiwei was also widely distributed during the Tang Dynasty, with as many as 20.
It is speculated that the total strength of the four armies may be close to 2 million, and behind Tubo was the support of the Arab Empire at that time, which was so large that it could be called the Asian War.
Of course, this is still a story later. Ang Lee still has time to train, so he will definitely give Wu Zetian a surprise.
August passed, September passed, and October came again.
"It's snowing...! It's snowing...!"
In Ang Lee's mansion, Qing'er shouted happily, and then Li Ang got up and came to the window. When she opened the window, she saw snowflakes falling.
At this time, Qin Xuhong shouted: "It's snowing for you stupid girls. I don't know how to put a brazier on Your Highness... I really don't know what you girls can do except having fun with Qing'er...!"
As soon as the scolding fell, the little girls immediately began to prepare a brazier for Ang Lee.
It's October... Lee's white sugar business, lamb oil candle business, soap, and soap business are all very good, but the Monkey Wine business and alcohol are still not touched.
Because we need to reserve some for the Western Regions.
Fortunately, Ang Lee's tea business gradually improved. First, Du Zifu from the Uighurs learned the benefits of tea, and then came to Luoyang again, and booked about ten tons of goods with Ang Lee.
The tea leaves are always replaced by horses. After Tubo, I also learned about the benefits of tea and sent someone to book with Li.
Ang Lee summoned about 3,000 people at once, and with the expansion of mutton oil candles and white sugar, there are now more than 12,000 people in Zhenjia Village. Of course, because of this, Zhenjia Village can no longer be called a village, but should be called Zhenjia Town.
During this period, Ang Lee and Princess Taiping, the Wu brothers and Xue Huaiyi did not have conflicts. Although Princess Taiping was not very good to Ang Lee, because Ang Lee was still relatively close to him, she was not far away from Ang Lee.
The Wu brothers are now as far away as they can to Ang Lee. During this period, the Wu brothers have been pleasing to Wu Zetian. As for Xue Huaiyi, this guy is still like before and doesn't cause trouble. He just recites scriptures and meditates in the temple, and even rarely goes to the palace.
Wu Zetian didn't care about Xue Huaiyi during this period because Wu Zetian was accompanied by Shen's imperial deity.
So after all, Ang Lee has been living a very happy life. If you want to say something unhappy, there is probably only one thing, that is, the guy Li Pingcu.
Nearly two months, Li Pingcu and the people in Li's mansion got along well. This guy has a high emotional intelligence and IQ.
It is precisely because of this that Ang Lee has always been very alert to this Li Pingcu, but this Li Pingcu is very approachable and slowly integrates into the life of the Li family.
Now, the wife will be called over to play mahjong in Li's mansion. Li Pingcu is very nice to everyone else, but as long as he plays mahjong with Ang Lee, Li Pingcu will slaughter Ang Lee's blood.
Ang Lee lost at least hundreds of coins in the hands of this Li Pingcu. This is what Ang Lee hates the most. Later, Ang Lee began to compete with the Li family for wits and courage, such as chess, cards, and dice... Li Pingcu never lost.
Later, Ang Lee was forced to get angry and drank directly with Li Pingcu.
There are also some monkey wines in Ang Lee... I originally thought that he would definitely win this time, but it was Ang Lee who never thought that everyone could drink this Li Pingcu Li.
She drank Meng Ke, the wine mantra.
Finally, Ang Lee looked at Li Pingcu in horror and asked, "What else can you do if you don't..."
Li Pingcu didn't say anything, just laughed.
