Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and seventeen are pregnant with ghosts


The so-called detention of those wealthy and nobles with titles, as well as some officials, are not all detained in Luoyang cells. If once that happens, you will risk your death and remonstrance from the first day. The scale of the conflict and the huge turmoil brought to Jiangshan Sheji, not to mention that Luoyang's cell couldn't be filled with so many "feeling and expensive" people at once.

Officials above the fifth rank, and nobles above the fifth rank, are confined to their homes or, like local governors, they are confined to the post or inn in Luoyang City.

"Do you really dare to take all these people into the prison? Even if all the cells in Luoyang City are used, they will not be able to contain these three thousand people. The important thing is...in what name does your Majesty arrest people? What?" Old God Cui Xuanwei was sitting in the hall, with his sons sitting below.

As the head of the Cui family of Boring, Duke Anping of Datang, now nearly sixty years old, full of energy and self-confidence, his eyes are still very bright, giving people a sense of wisdom and refinement and determination. .

Moreover, when Li Zhi was in power, he was favored by Li Zhi, and he was very close to the royal family. Now he certainly has the confidence to speculate about the current majesty’s mind and how the court will deal with this incident. The trick.

So regarding the rumors that swept Luoyang City like a violent storm in today’s half-day, Cui Xuanwei didn’t take it to heart, and even hoped that such a storm would come more violently, hoping that the imperial court could spread their Boring After the rumors of the Cui family and the Zheng family of Xingyang, the other rich and nobles were wrapped up in this storm as soon as possible.

"But father, these rumors are clearly intentional by the court, with extremely insidious purposes, so maliciously slandering our two noble and wealthy families, wouldn't it make us all condemned by the people of the world?" Cui Xinggong's face looked a little bit. Dignified, he and his father expected that your majesty would counterattack, but what he didn't expect was that his counterattack was so tough and thunderous, and it was so comprehensive that he could counterattack without giving them a gap.

In just a few days, the imperial court began to use all the means at its disposal, and even in the eyes of the people of the world, the ranger, who had always claimed to be a righteous man, was requisitioned by the imperial court. come.

This has allowed Cui Xinggong to be in the court for many years. Now as the chief official of the Yizhou Metropolitan Government, Cui Xinggong has to worry that his majesty and the court's decisive counterattack this time is revealing a message to them: that is thorough I don't intend to make concessions in the face of the wealthy and noble families headed by the five surnames and seven hopes, but I really intend to lose-lose.

"So what? Not all people in the world are blind, and people with bright hearts still account for a large number. Even if they are deceived by the court, they are just some people who usually don't plan with us. Why care? Today, I spent half a day maliciously slandering the Cui clan of Boring and the Zheng clan of Xingyang, fearing that tomorrow would be the turn of the Cui clan of Qinghe, as well as the Li clan of Zhaojun and Wang clan of Taiyuan. Fanyang Lu’s family has been in charge since Lu Zhaolin’s Immediately after his Majesty, he was the only one who gave up the interests of his clan in recent years, but Lu Zhaolin must have had a hard time in these years. While showing loyalty to the court, he also wanted to appease the clan members who had other ideas in the clan. It is estimated that in the past few days, he has been squeezed by the court and clan relatives because of the risk of his death."

Cui Xuanwei's well-established appearance made Cui Xinggong's heart a little quieter. After all, his father was able to lead the Boling Cui family to this day, and even faintly achieved the first of the seven hopes, and his father was indispensable.

"But I always faintly feel that something is wrong in my heart. I have always had some worries. The imperial court does such a huge action, really is not afraid of the crowds of the world attacking? Are they really willing to risk the turmoil of the country? , Tear your skin apart with us, let's have a fish and net?" Cui Xinggong looked at his calm and composed father, there was still an indescribable worry in his heart.

Cui Xinggong, who is over middle-aged, is a little blessed. Although he does not look wise and elegant like Cui Xuanwei, he can be qualified as the chief official of the Yizhou Metropolitan Government. In addition to his own prudent and cautious character, he has helped him. Many outsiders were his father, Cui Xuanwei, who brokered a lot of court relations for him, which made him fortunate to stand out and eventually became the chief official of the Yizhou Metropolitan Government.

"Who is your majesty? You have served as an official in the court over the years. Although you have never served as an official in Kyoto, as the chief official of the Yizhou Metropolitan Government House, you are already a senior official of the Tang Dynasty. I haven’t seen it clearly and thoroughly understands your majesty’s way of doing things in these years?" Cui Xuanwei looked at his agitated son, sighed and continued to explain: “Since your majesty has been established as a prince, his style of behavior has always been decisive. I have always acted arbitrarily, although nothing went wrong along the way, but the famine in the first two years did not cause your majesty to commit a crime? If you had committed a crime, it would be harmful to your majesty. How big, you must be very clear in your heart? If this is the case, at least your majesty’s prestige above the court will be greatly reduced. It is not so easy to dictate to the court, and if we look at the opportunity to admonish your majesty, we will surely get twice the result with half the effort. But who could have imagined that in the end, His Majesty would not hesitate to spend money to buy peace, and would rather fight against the deficit of the national treasury, would rather let the local wealthy and landlord earn a lot of money, than be willing to commit crimes. This makes us not allowed. I didn’t plan for another plan, and this is what we have today. But we can also see from it that we can see the weakness of your Majesty who has never liked being threatened, whether it is the courtiers in the country, the noble and powerful, or the outside world. His Majesty has always adopted a tough attitude. Those who are too strong are easy to break, and those who are good and soft are undefeated. Therefore, this time, for the father, I hope that your majesty will be tougher. It is best to put all the noble and rich in the world. Involvement comes in, so your majesty’s chances of winning are probably not even one chance."

"Why? I also ask my father for advice." Cui Xinggong looked at his energetic father, standing in front of the window and pointing at the mountains, as if everything was already under his control.

"Why?" Cui Xuanwei turned around and stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Now I have no external worries in the Tang Dynasty, only internal troubles. Under such an environment, how can people not think about change? The emperor and empress dowager It is still in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. If at this time your Majesty is completely openly grieving with the vast numbers of wealthy scholars in the world, it is like now we risked our death to remonstrate your Majesty. Once it reaches the point where manpower is uncontrollable, which benefit will the situation develop? When the group can't stop this battle alone, will your majesty still sit on the Diaoyutai as it is now? Although the Emperor Taishang and the empress dowager have favored your majesty, they have been supervising the country and setting off for so many years, but the Yin King Li Dan In recent years, the British King Li Zhe has also accumulated a lot of fame and prestige. Once the situation is out of control, will the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager coordinate? Or is it to stabilize the turmoil of the court and the community and dethroned..."

In the end, Cui Xuanwei was enough. After all, the next words are still suspected of infidelity at least now. So while saying this, he also let his own sons understand the current situation, although the court is in The counterattack began to suppress and attack the five surnames and Qiwang, but to Cui Xuanwei, this was more like the last struggle of a drowning man. It seemed that the movement was quite large and the scene was quite spectacular, but it was completely useless. Drowning.

While the Boring Cui family was doing their unique analysis and countermeasures due to the sudden violent storm in Luoyang City, the Zheng family in Xingyang was also in the mansion, carrying out their own for the sudden rumors that came today. The discrimination.

I hope that we can smell the imperial court’s determination this time, and the current situation of his majesty Li Hong in the imperial hall.

Anyone knows that today your Majesty is also quite popular among courtiers. After all, most of the courtiers are either promoted when your majesty served as the minister of the household, or when your majesty served as the provincial minister. , Or was promoted when his majesty was in prison as a prince, or after his majesty ascended the throne.

So the sudden violent storm in Luoyang City~IndoMTL.com~ can be regarded as a courtier who supports your majesty. When you see your majesty’s current predicament, you have to make this move, hoping to be deterred by this. This time the participants who risked their death and remonstrance, so that these people know the wrath of the sky and retreat.

Whether it is the Boring Cui family or the Xingyang Zheng family, seeing that Luoyang City has become the oven for both of them, but they can still deal with these rumors and rumors calmly, and even hope at the same time, tomorrow morning. When I heard more rumors and malicious slander about myself, I could also hear some rebellious comments about other families.

No matter what, in just half a day, the torrential wind blowing in Luoyang City did not immediately let them realize that the danger is approaching. Even at this time, they still remember that trace in their hearts. Silk's regret, that was when planning this time to rashly remonstrate, if only one or two royal clan relatives could be won, then their chances of winning would be greater. , Not like it is now, can't completely take the initiative.

They dormant in Luoyang City, did not come forward to refute the rumors and explain, but quietly in their own hinterland, waiting for Li Hong to continue to make their decisions, continue to make this storm more violent, so maybe In the end, the victors will get greater benefits.

They each used their own inner abacus, but they didn't notice it in Luoyang City, where rumors and rumors walked the streets. Behind the violent storm, there was an imperceptible lightning and thunder.

With the Cui clan of Boring and the Zheng clan of Xingyang as the two main lines, Yao Chong, the official secretary, after several days of sleeplessness, finally sorted out in the archives of the official department and was registered by Yin Li Zhaode of Luoyang Prefecture. How did those officials who risked their deaths and remonstrances on the register were recommended for official careers?
