"It is because there is no one that makes Li Hong feel uneasy. King Yue and King Cao have been running Bashu for many years. After their death, the entire land of Bashu was peaceful, and there was no voice against Li Hong at all. This is very abnormal in itself." Wu Mei glanced at Bai Chun, and then looked at the courtiers who slowly walked into the Xuanzheng Hall. After everyone entered, she pointed at the two abrupt trees in the Xuanzheng Hall Square and said, "Someone dares to give advice. The sinister intention of burying palace members to show the nobility and uniqueness of the royal family clearly shows that some people who are secretly anti-Li Hong can no longer bear it anymore and are unwilling to watch Li Hong continue to stabilize the court, and are preparing to deal with it. Li Hong may have tainted my royal family.”
"Actually, these two trees were intentionally made by Li Hong as a warning to the Bashu land? And Di Renjie, as the minister of Dali Temple, has made many changes in old cases and unjust, false and wrong cases in recent years, so Li Hong used him to go to Bashu, but it was not because the two had political disagreements, but to show it to others in the court so that Di Renjie could smoothly enter Bashu to rectify it? "Li Zhi still looked at the two trees with his hands behind his back, inexplicably. He remembered the ancestral home of Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, who had advised him at the beginning, and where they were transferred to Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple.
"Di Renjie is the minister of Dali Temple and a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. If there are rumors among the people that he was dismissed by the prince, and then Di Renjie goes to the land of Bashu, then some Xiaoxiao who are hiding in secret will take the opportunity to recruit Di Renjie to join. Are their camps working together to oppose His Highness the Crown Prince?" Bai Chun had never thought about it this way before, because Li Hong stayed in Prince Pu's Mansion for several days before leaving Chang'an, but he never mentioned the matter about Di Renjie. Even if it's just one word.
Wu Mei glanced at Bai Chun. When did Bai Chun, who had always been smart, become so stupid
"If you think that way, you are wrong. If Di Renjie is dismissed from office, then in the eyes of others, he will also lose the value of being used. People who want to win over him will even treat him for it. Dismissive and contemptuous. Everything is given by the royal family, so only the rights given by the royal family are the importance of Di Renjie's identity and status. He chose to resign because of his disagreement with Li Hong, but Li Hong wanted to retain him. Choosing to retain his position, who would look down on Di Renjie? Wouldn't he naturally become a favorite in the eyes of Li Hong and some people in Bashu? The more he is at odds with the prince, the more the prince becomes. To win over people from Bashu, the more they want Di Renjie to join their camp, isn't this the reason?" Wu Mei smiled arrogantly, Li Hong's careful design took into account the enemy's psychology. .
In order to increase Di Renjie's bargaining chip and weight in the eyes of those in Bashu, Li Hong did not hesitate to lower his status and prove Di Renjie's importance by trying to retain him!
It is conceivable that His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely important in his eyes, and even putting aside his status and trying to retain someone, isn't it attractive enough to those in Bashu
"Bai Chun, pack up immediately and go to Chengdu Mansion secretly. If necessary, you don't need to contact anyone, just observe the situation in Chengdu Mansion secretly. If... something is difficult, use my token to order Chengdu Mansion. "Li Zhi suddenly said to Bai Chun in a deep voice.
When Wu Mei heard Li Zhi's words, she suddenly turned around in surprise and looked at Li Zhi in disbelief. This was the first time that he discovered that His Majesty also had decisive moments.
Looking at Wu Mei's doubtful eyes, Li Zhi rubbed his nose a little embarrassed and said: "I really don't want to govern. Li Hong has been unwilling to inherit for a long time. Apparently it's because our Datang has not yet reached the true state of affairs." But after this trip to the southwest, both the court and the local state capitals will be able to be quiet for a while, right? So if I want to achieve Zen status as soon as possible, I can only help him clear some obstacles so that he can concentrate on nothing else. The succession to the throne!"
Wu Mei nodded clearly, and then Bai Chun saluted the two of them, took a gold medal from Li Zhi, and hurried down the steps.
Looking at Bai Chun's leaving figure, Wu Mei didn't say anything. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Zhi suddenly continued to ask: "Since Li Hong knew that there was something abnormal in Mianzhou and Chengdu Prefecture, why didn't he go there?" Should we start rectifying it when we return from Yangzhou instead of waiting until now?"
"After what happened in Yangzhou, do you think those people in Mianzhou will still show up? As soon as the King of Yue died, those people were eager to hide themselves immediately so that they would not be noticed by Li Hong. Now several years have passed, and those two trees This proves that they are ready to make a comeback. What's more, Li Hong always likes to wait until they are all exposed before going to catch them all. As Li Lingyue said about her imperial brother, it is more cost-effective to fatten them up and then slaughter them. , It saves a lot of effort, otherwise these remnants would not be enough for people to work." Wu Mei stretched out, and immediately exposed her entire body, which was already obviously plump, but still had a fatal attraction to Li Zhi. Li Zhi almost forgot to speak.
"Li Sujie was the governor of Yizhou (Chengdu Prefecture) back then. Didn't he realize something was wrong?" Li Zhi shook his head and began to walk into the palace.
Wu Mei followed closely: "Li Sujie is a distant leader and has no real power. Besides, it is very valuable to be able to find out the clues about Hanjiacang."
"That's true. By the way, what does that word mean?"
"曌! The sun and the moon are shining in the sky, take the word "Zhao" and recite it." Wu Mei was very satisfied with the answer Bai Chun told her just now.
"曌? Is there such a word? Is there such a word in the "Dictionary of the Tang Dynasty" newly compiled by Li Hongming Chongwen Museum?" Li Zhi and Wu Mei asked as they walked in the Xuanzheng Hall, ignoring the officials on both sides.
"Not yet, but it will be made up for soon." Wu Mei sat in her queen's seat. Today was not a court meeting, but an audience with ministers after welcoming His Majesty back, so she appeared in the Xuanzheng Hall. This is also true.
The name Wu Zhao was also announced by Li Zhi among the courtiers. After people had a brief doubt about this word that had never appeared before, they understood that what the queen wanted was this unique and exclusive character.
So when Li Zhi announced happily, all the ministers also congratulated the queen on naming her Zhao.
Since there is a happy event, today's banquet in the Hanyuan Hall in front of the Xuanzheng Hall is naturally an indispensable part. What's more, after the "Legend of the White Snake" has been revised again, it just happens to take this opportunity to let everyone who has not been there on the Shangyuan Festival The ministers who have time to appreciate it, please enjoy it together.
Mianzhou is still about three hundred miles away from Chengdu. When Li Hong arrived in Mianzhou, Yuan Shuji and Guo Shifeng had already led their troops there for many days. At this time, after placing their own troops and horses, they began to accompany Li Hong , came to the Yuewang Tower, which is the most favorite place among tourists.
Hua Meng and Cheetah, plus Yuan Shuji and Guo Shifeng, the four of them accompanied Li Hong and walked slowly on the path of Guishan. Not long after they walked up, a man and a woman walked out of the jungle on the roadside. He looked at Li Hong's tall back with a complicated expression.
"He went to the Yuewang Tower that his father built back then, obviously not to mourn his father." A woman with delicate features murmured while looking at her back.
The middle-aged man next to him frowned. He was not worried about Li Hong leading his army into Jiannan Road, but he was worried about Li Hong's real purpose of arriving at Jiannan Road.
Just after failing to win over Di Renjie in the court, Di Renjie had just arrived at Chengdu Mansion and he followed him. Did he want to continue to lower his status to win over Di Renjie, or was he really trying to take advantage of the southwest road to go to Nanzhao
Or could it be that he came to Jiannan Road this time because of the heirs of King Yue and Prince Cao
"Brother Wang, have they come into contact with Di Renjie?" Pei Shoude is also the son-in-law of Yue Wang Li Zhen, and the husband of the woman next to him, Li Qian, the head of Liangxiang County.
"We are in contact, but we haven't convinced Di Renjie for the time being. Di Renjie is cunning and cunning. What Li Hong has always criticized in the court is that he refuses to stand on his side. His purpose of coming to Chengdu this time is not clear either. Brothers Li Wen and Li Gui are testing him." Li Qian looked up at the bright red and white Yue Wang Tower in the sky.
In any case, after the death of the father, the Yuewang Tower was not renamed by the court, but continued to exist in the name of Yuewang Tower.
"Di Renjie is a good person. He never forms cliques in the court. He seems to be friendly with everyone, but he has no interest relationship with anyone and is very clear about public and private affairs." Pei Shoude sighed and wanted to In his opinion, it was a bit too difficult to convince Di Renjie.
After the death of King Yue and King Cao, they did not have many benefits that they could promise Di Renjie and no leverage to win over him, so it would be difficult for Li Wen and Li Gui alone to get the desired results.
"Then... should we go up? After all, Li Hong arrived with great fanfare and did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts. If we don't go to see him, it will arouse his suspicion, right?" Li Qian said with a frown.
For her, Li Hong's arrival gave her more headaches and upsets than anything else. This person was like the second late emperor in the royal family. It is probably difficult to find him among the royal family members nowadays. He is the one who opposes him.
Moreover, Li Hong was really chasing after Di Renjie. He had only been here for a short time before he followed him openly and openly, as if everyone in the world knew that he was a young man who wanted to be a corporal, and he didn't give them the slightest chance.
"Go up. No matter what, we have to pay homage to him at this time. After all, he is the prince..."
"Do you think he will find us..."
"How is it possible? With Li Hong's character, if he had been aware of it, he would have renovated Jiannan Road long ago. But so far, have you ever seen him treat a rich Jiannan Road differently? This time before Although I don’t know the real purpose, cutting off Prince Zhenla’s arm in Chang’an cannot be fake.”
"You mean he really wants to point his sword at the southwest?"
