Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 724 The Judgment of Gar Yingong

On the first day of June in the third year of Yifeng, Prince Li Xian wrote in his book: Summer harvest is imminent. In order to ensure the storage of grain in various places, we specially plan to send personnel to patrol the four directions as usual to declare the importance of the imperial court. A list of candidates to be dispatched is attached. Among them, Dai Zhide and Gao Zhizhou, the prime ministers, are listed on the list. Among them, Dai Zhide is in charge of patrolling Jiangnan Road, Gao Zhizhou is in charge of patrolling Henan Road, and Di Renjie, Lin Mingdu and other officials have their own special departments. He didn't express his position in court, but only said that the matter was a big one, which had to be weighed carefully. As soon as the court discussion was over, he hurriedly summoned Gar Yingong to the Imperial Study Room of the Xuanzheng Palace to discuss the matter.

"At the end of the day, I will see the Queen of Heaven!"

Empress Wu was summoned, so Gar Yingong came very quickly, and he was on duty today. His armor was neat and bright, and he looked quite mighty. Seeing Empress Wu, it was an extremely standard military etiquette , it is extremely neat.

"Forget it, Ai Qing, let's read this notebook first."

After several times of trials, Empress Wu has a sufficient understanding of the ability of Gar Yin Gong, and she values ​​it quite a lot. Not to mention anything else, he said that during the incident two days ago, Gar Yin Gong His calculations are remarkable. Although he failed to achieve the best goal of killing Li Xianzhi, he suppressed Li Xian severely. At least for a long time, the princes and the party will definitely not be able to win the Empress Wu. The incident was so mysterious that Empress Wu also won the time to make arrangements calmly. All of this should be attributed to Gar Yingong's way of calculation. Calling him to come this time is of course no consolation. Li Xian's chapter has been read by Gar Yingong, and it is already a self-evident attitude of relying on it.

"promise!"

Gar Yingong is a man with a quick mind, just looking at Empress Wu's attitude, he already guessed the hidden meaning behind this move, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart, but the city was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face When he came up, he responded incomparably, stretched out his hands, took the folder passed by the little eunuch, gently lifted off the yellow silk mask, and read it carefully.

"how?"

Empress Wu obviously admired Gar Yingong's demeanor and composure, and she didn't say anything to urge her, but just sat silently at the head, until Gar Yingong put down the booklet, and then asked a question with a smile .

"It's a little strange, but the last general still can't see through the strangeness."

Gar Yingong looked at it very carefully, and went over the script several times almost word by word, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong inside, but he couldn't find the possible foreshadowing for a while, facing Empress Wu's questioning, It can only be an honest answer.

"Well, where is the blame?"

The reason why Empress Wu didn't answer Li Xian in court was because she felt that there was something wrong with this paper, but if she asked her to tell what was wrong, she also couldn't explain why. Feeling like this, I took it for granted, so I asked quietly.

"Returning to your mother, it is customary to send high officials from the imperial court to inspect all parties during the summer harvest, but in the past, they were mostly mid-level officials such as ministers and doctors, but now the crown prince proposes that the prime minister be in command. The merit of the good seed, considering Boon's world, seems to be a bit overdone. This is not like the style of the prince's behavior in the past. Just based on this point, we can know that there must be a big article in it, but what is the purpose? It's hard to say."

Gar Yingong bowed deeply, and pointed out the doubts he was thinking in a calm tone, but he couldn't judge the most fundamental intention of Li Xian's move.

"Well, could it be that that guy wants to pass a proposal that is very important to the overall situation in the Zhengshitang, and deliberately transfers Gao Zhizhou so that he can act?"

What Gar Yingong said was exactly where Empress Wu was suspicious. Of course, doubts were suspicions, and she also didn't know the root cause, so she frowned slightly and tentatively gave a hypothesis.

"It shouldn't be like this. Once the previous turmoil broke out, the possibility of the country being supervised has been lost. At least in a short period of time, there is absolutely no such possibility. Apart from this, there is nothing that can affect the overall situation. As for other Government affairs, with its power in the court, there is no need to be so pretentious. If this point is excluded, then there is only one possibility left. The problem should lie in the mission itself, could it be..."

Gar Yingong shook his head, explained a few words casually, and solved Empress Wu's doubts completely. Just talking, talking, Gar Yingong suddenly remembered a possibility, and his eyes instantly turned He became sharper, but he did not reveal what he suspected.

"Could it be something? Well, is it possible that the person that guy wants to deal with is Gao Zhizhou?"

Empress Wu is also a person whose wisdom is as deep as the sea, and Gar Yingong only raised her head, and she suddenly came to her senses.

"Study all the officials carefully, I am afraid that only the high minister can be the target of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gar Yingong gritted his teeth, and made a judgment with a solemn expression.

"How daring! Bengong sees that he is murderous!"

Thinking of Ming Chongyan's death at the hands of Li Xian, Empress Wu's face turned livid in an instant, she slapped the copy suddenly, and cursed hatefully.

Facing the furious Empress Wu, Gar Yingong didn't agree with him, but the expression on his face was rather gloomy, apparently recalling the past of Li Xian's massacre in Tubo, and even more of his tragic death at the hands of Li Xian His old father couldn't help feeling agitated for a moment. Although he didn't say much, the violent ups and downs of his chest clearly showed Gar Yingong's resentment and anger.

"What does Ai Qing think about this matter? Did she refute it and go back, or did she tell the truth to King Yue?"

After all, Empress Wu is an extraordinary person. Although her anger rose violently, she could control it quickly. But after seeing her take a few deep breaths, she calmed down. She glanced at Gar Yingong with a complicated expression, her tone of voice He opened his mouth gently.

"Returning to your mother, I think that whether you refute this matter or not will not change the determination of His Highness the Crown Prince. The death of Dr. Ming is a lesson from the past. You can only be a thief for a thousand days. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you really refute it, go back. , It is useless to scare the snakes, it has no other benefits, and it is not in line with the interests of the empress."

Gar Yingong was not in a hurry to answer Empress Wu's proposal, but after pondering for a while, he answered cautiously.

"Benefits? What does it have to do with me?"

Listening to the first half of what Gar Yingong said, Empress Wu felt that it was reasonable, but she was a little confused about the second half of what she said, so she looked at Gar Yingong suspiciously and asked with a strange look on her face .

"Your Majesty has learned that the King of Yue is ambitious, with both snakes and rats, and thinks he can plan, but in the eyes of the wise, he is just deceiving his ears and stealing the bell. , It’s not very difficult, the reason why they don’t move is nothing more than scruples about each other, this will give them room to survive, so that it has grown to the current situation, and it is already a trend that cannot be lost. If it is not controlled, it will be inevitable in the future. There is a big disaster, this is the first, and second, although the king of Yue is the two ends of the snake and rat, and they are divided into profit, but fundamentally speaking, he and the crown prince are natural enemies, and the empress is not necessarily the same, at least he thinks so in his mind , this is the reason why he is more on the side of the empress than on the side of the prince, and the reason why he is not completely attached to the empress is not only due to ambition, but also the strength he possesses is also the root of his self-respect. Today, the prince is willing to cut Wouldn't its wings be beneficial to the empress to subdue it, if it can be used, why not worry about the big things not coming to fruition, so, no matter from any point of view, the more the king is hit, the more beneficial it is to the empress. , why not do it?"

As expected of Gar Yingong, who grew up in a heap of conspiracy since he was a child, he judged the situation extremely accurately. What he said was clear and logical. Flaws come.

"Well, what Aiqing said is true. Since this is the case, it seems that this palace should just sit back and ignore it?"

Empress Wu carefully chewed on Gar Yingong's advice, deeply moved by it, already made a decision in her heart, but she didn't come out, but continued to ask.

"Otherwise, the scriptures can be approved, but the preparations that should be made must be done. As the saying goes: the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Why don't you follow the trend, even if you can't win the crown prince?" With the handle, you can also take the initiative in the contest for the candidate for the phase, and you can do everything beforehand!"

Gar Yingong smiled slyly, and gave the final answer, but shrewdly did not say how to prepare, nor did he recommend a candidate for an aspect, obviously for Empress Wu to decide for herself.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind? Good, very good! Ai Qing can discuss the former matter with Daoist Qingxu on her own. As for the latter, I will take care of it myself."

Empress Wu is a decisive person to kill and attack, now that she has understood the reason, she made her determination very quickly.

"No, the general will obey the order!"

Gar Yingong had long wanted to grasp the original Qixia Mountain lineage in his hands, but he didn't get it right. After hearing the martial arts, he opened his golden mouth, and he was secretly happy, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly Resigned and left.

"Come on!"

After Gar Yingong left, Empress Wu didn't say anything, but just sat behind the copywriter in a daze, thinking for a long time with a cloudy face, and then raised her voice and stopped drinking.

"The old slave is here!"

Empress Wu has now cited Gar Yingong as her confidant counselor, and during the secret talks with him, no one else is allowed to be present, even Cheng Denggao, a loyal subordinate, is no exception, he can only wait outside the study. For the summons, Cheng Denggao, who had been waiting outside the room for a long time, didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly trotted into the room, rushed to the copywriter, and hurriedly answered.

"Go, Xuan Liu Yizhi will see you immediately!"

Empress Wu didn't talk too much nonsense, and gave her orders straightforwardly.

"Ah, Nuo, this old slave is going!"

When he heard that Empress Wu wanted to announce Liu Yi's arrival, Cheng Denggao couldn't help being stunned, because Liu Yizhi had gradually lost the favor of Empress Wu since he was defeated by Li Xian in Lanzhou. He is not allowed to be reused either. He is only a member of Zhongshu Sheren on the fifth rank, and he has never met him alone for more than a year. I really don't know why I listened to Empress Wu's orders so abruptly, but since Empress Wu had issued an order, Cheng Denggao dared not have any objections, so he hurriedly responded, turned around and left the study , Since I was busy calling Liu Yizhi, I didn't mention it.
