Wu Yizong angrily said, "Of course I won't complain to Aunt. I finally understand. When Ji Xu reprimanded me at court, Aunt banished him from the capital not to protect me, but to protect her own face. She felt that Ji Xu didn't put her, the Emperor, in his eyes. Now that she has Yang Fan as her confidant, if I keep making things difficult for Yang Fan, Aunt will think that I am not respecting her. Hah! Our aunt only upholds her authority. Blood ties are not worth a dime! I will wait until the time is right to make things difficult for him, then I will make him beg for death! "
Wu Sansi was overjoyed and praised him, "Good! Although you have been rebuffed a few times, you now know how to plan before taking action. That is very good. "
As soon as he entered the study, he saw Zhou Yongyi, Ran Zuyong, Li Zhi, Song Zhixun, Yao Shaozhi, and the other confidants of King Liang. Wu Yizong couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are so many people discussing? Is it still about the Yanzhou fake relief case?"
Wu Sansi had him sit down, saying, "Yanzhou's Xie Yubin is King Wei's man. This is a great opportunity for us to purge King Wei's power and force those fence-sitters to our side. How can we let it go? We should take advantage of his weakness to take his life. But you are a general, so you don't need to worry about this. Using He Shaozhi is an imperial censor, so they will do it. "
Wu Sansi's expression became serious as he said this. "I just received news yesterday that the Emperor seems to want to return the capital to Chang 'an. I called you here today to discuss this matter."
Wu Yizong was stunned and asked curiously, "Return the capital to Chang 'an? So be it, Chang 'an or Luoyang, what's the difference? "
Zhou Yongyi and the others either looked away or covered their mouths and coughed. Wu Sansi glared at Wu Yizong, saying, "Let's not talk about anything else and just talk about you. You are now the General of the Jin Wu Guards and the commander of the capital's garrison army. If the Emperor is still in Chang 'an, what else do you have other than the Jin Wu Guards? Can you bring the garrison army to Chang 'an? You will lose more than half of your soldiers in an instant! "
"Ah!" Wu Yizong suddenly understood and bounced up as if there were springs under his butt, shouting, "How can this be? No, we have to stop Aunt. "
Wu Sansi glared at him and shouted, "Sit! How can you stop her? Do you think Aunt wants to return the capital to Chang 'an? Aunt's foresight is much greater than yours or mine. I discussed it with Zu Yong and Zu Yong just now. Aunt's intentions are very clear. Why did she choose Luoyang as her capital? Why did she choose Chang 'an today?
"'s Wu"., "Yi is," Yi, "t.'t" Yi, "Wu Yi said.," am, "'t. 'Yi,'t.," Yi, "Yi"'t't, Yi, "" Take. "t," Yi Yi.
Aunt cultivated Yang Fan to divide the power of the Yulin Forest, promoted Li Tang's old ministers to fill the court, all for this purpose, but Aunt is still worried. She is worried that once the power is handed over, it will be taken back by us. I don't want you to be too ostentatious now because of this reason. We can't let Aunt think that the Wu family is too domineering. Do you understand? "
Wu Yizong didn't bother to understand. He only knew that his power was about to be weakened. He said angrily, "If it wasn't for us," "Aunt," "Aunt," "She wouldn't have been able to become the Emperor if we hadn't done everything we could to eliminate the Li clique," he said angrily. "What do you think we should do?"
…
When Yang Fan was carried into the bedroom, he fell into a coma again. He was only awake for a short period of time.
His body was burning hot. People with strong bodies who didn't get sick would get more serious when they got sick. Moreover, in this era, high fever was a disease that could easily kill people.
Xiao Man and A Nu panicked and hurriedly sent for a doctor. Yesterday, A Nu laughed so hard that the entire Yang family was on guard. Today, Ah Lang was seriously ill. All the famous doctors in Luo Yang gathered at the Yang family's mansion and began to diagnose.
It was hard to say whether Yang Fan got sick because of a cold or something else. Maybe the cold was just a trigger. When a person got sick, in addition to the internal lesion or the invasion of foreign objects, there was actually a third reason, which was emotional changes and psychological pressure. When the body couldn't bear the pressure caused by emotional fluctuations, the person would get sick.
Of course, Yang Fan's high fever was due to the cold air attacking his body from sleeping on the roof at night, but more importantly, it was due to psychological reasons. The extreme depression and sadness of emotions eventually turned into a high fever that wouldn't go away. How could he get better immediately? Therefore, although there were famous doctors prescribing medicine, this heart disease still needed a slow process of recovery.
Gu Zhuting carried Yang Fan down from the roof and handed him to Xiao Man to carry back to the bedroom. After that, she ran away. She couldn't explain it clearly, but she always felt that when all the maids and old women in the Yang family looked at her, there were three words written in their eyes, "Bad woman! Bad woman! Bad woman … "
She was dizzy now and wished that she could faint and lose consciousness like Ah Lang. Unfortunately, she didn't have any symptoms of headache or fever.
Gu Zhuting slipped back to the Gu family, threw herself on the kang, pulled the quilt over her head, and cried. Her mother was so flustered, but she didn't know what her daughter had suffered. She sat next to her and tried to persuade her for a long time, but she didn't have a clue.
After a while, Old Man Gu, who had received the news, hurried back from the Yang Family. He lifted the curtain and entered his daughter's room. The old woman hurriedly went up to him and asked softly, "Old man, what happened to our daughter?"
The old man didn't answer. He paced around the room with his hands behind his back for a long time and said to his daughter, whose head was covered in the quilt, "Why are you crying? If you ask me, my daughter, well done! "
Gu Zhuting poked her head out of the quilt and sobbed, "Father!"
"Ah!"
"Get out!"
The old man rubbed his nose and said, "Daughter, don't be sad. I think our Ah Lang isn't someone who doesn't dare to take responsibility for his actions. Ah Lang caught a cold and is now unconscious from the fever. I'll tell him when he wakes up. "After saying that, the old man quickly slipped out of the room before his daughter could say anything.
The old woman was puzzled, but from the conversation between the father and daughter, it seemed to be related to their family's benefactor, Yang Fan. The old woman rushed to her daughter, who had burrowed back into the quilt like an ostrich, and asked, "My daughter, what happened to you? Could it be … could it be that General Yang did something to you? "
Gu Zhuting arched her butt and swung her tender hands, sobbing under the quilt, "Mother …"
"Ah!"
"You get out too!"
…
"His Majesty has been entrusted by the Saint Emperor and has been recommended by the heir. He has been obedient to the heavens for twenty years. How can he not think of Yu Shun's robe, the restoration of the Duke of Zhou, and the Great Yu, who has become a king, is ready to abdicate the throne to the country! Therefore, Shun and Yu were relatives of each other. Once he became a king, he never left his uncle. How can the love of a clan be compared to the love of a son? How could an uncle be compared to a mother's kindness?
Today, the Crown Prince's filial piety is respected, and the Spring and Autumn Period is strong. If the Crown Prince leads the imperial court to the extreme, how can it be different from His Majesty's? Your Majesty is already honored in age and virtue, and your throne is about to be weary. Your mission is heavy, and your mind is vast and mighty. Why not abdicate in the Eastern Palace and have your own Sacred Body of Joy?
Your subject has heard of the filial piety of the former Wisdom King, who governed the world without two surnames. Presently the Princes of Liang, Ding, Hanoi, Jianchang, and the others have received His Majesty's shadow, and have been bestowed the title of Prince. Minister is afraid that after ten thousand autumns and ten thousand years, it will be inconvenient. Minister requests to be deposed from the title of Duke or Marquis, to live a leisurely life. Your subject has also heard that Your Majesty has more than twenty grandchildren. Today there is no ruler's land; this is not a long-term plan. This subject requests that the Four Prefectural Mansions and the important Chong Prefectures and Prefectures be divided and become kings … "
What appeared on Wu Zetian's imperial desk was not a memorial from the ministers of the court, but a secret letter to be delivered to the Emperor. In the beginning, Wu Zetian had set up the copper cages to receive tip-offs from the people and take the opportunity to purge her political enemies. But after she ascended the throne, she did not attach so much importance to the copper cages.
There were still people who opened the copper cages at regular intervals to pick out the tip-offs. But without that group of ruthless officials in the court, there were basically no tip-offs worth sending to the Emperor other than some trivial matters. But when this secret letter was opened, it gave the people in charge of cleaning the copper cages a fright. They did not dare to hesitate and immediately presented it to the Emperor.
This secret letter was very simple and had a total of three paragraphs. The first paragraph bluntly said that the current Emperor ascended the throne because of the late Emperor's dying entrustment. The sons could not compete with the mother. You should now learn from Yu the Great, learn from the Duke of Zhou, and quickly return the country to the Li family.
The second paragraph fiercely praised the current Crown Prince, Li Xian, and bluntly said that he was old and busy with state affairs. He would not be able to take care of them, and it was better to quickly let the Crown Prince ascend the throne.
The third paragraph was even more severe, saying that there should not be two Wangye in the world. Those Wangye of the Wu family that you have bestowed should be demoted to Dukes and Marquises. They should be stripped of their official positions and go home to enjoy their lives. Those Imperial Grandsons of yours with the surname Li should be immediately bestowed with the title of Wangye and sent out to be Governor or Governor, holding real power.
The copper cages accepted anonymous letters, but at the bottom of this secret letter, the author's name was written: Imperial College's Guang Wen Library's Professor Su Anheng. The current court had a Imperial College in Chang 'an and Luoyang, and this person was someone from the Luoyang Imperial College.
When Wu Sansi gathered his trusted aides to discuss countermeasures, Wu Yizong's words, "At that time, we submitted a letter to persuade him to step down" gave Zhou Yong a great inspiration. He immediately thought of a way to advance by retreating: "Submit a letter to persuade him to step down". In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound. Not only would he persuade the Emperor to step down, even the Wu family's Wangye would be stripped of their titles.
According to their conjectures, with Wu Zetian's unyielding character of those who submit to her will prosper and those who oppose her will perish, as long as she saw this sealed letter, she would definitely be furious. Not to mention the matter of passing the throne to the Crown Prince step by step, under her rage, it was not impossible for her to immediately depose the Crown Prince.
Wu Zetian was indeed extremely angry. Seeing this letter, her face suddenly turned ashen and her lips began to tremble. As long as she was still on the throne, she would not easily hand over her power, not to mention this kind of seemingly respectful but actually unreasonable way of forcing her to step down. Not to mention this, she actually wanted to remove all the power of the Wu family and even remove the title of Wangye.
Wu Zetian's eyebrows rose up with a murderous look and her lips curled into a sneer, "Zhen had just given you three points of colour and now you are so proud and arrogant that you are preparing to counterattack?"
