Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 781
"The crown prince and grand master plus the right to grant Jiuxi King Qi is really too great!"

Sitting on a chair in the hall, Wu Zetian looked slightly at Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu beside him. This Wu Zetian brought Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu together, and then said what was meant by the above words?

It's very simple, I just want Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu to make a statement together, hoping that His Majesty can take back his order.

It's just a pity that, facing Wu Zetian's constant hints, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu just didn't want to pick up Wu Zetian's fault, because Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were afraid, what were they afraid of? Afraid of Li You, Li You is now equivalent to the deputy emperor , You said who would dare to touch Li You's brow, because he was afraid that his death would not be fast enough?
So no matter what Wu Zetian hinted, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were just pretending to be stupid.

This made Wu Zetian frowned slightly. For the first time, she felt that these people under her hands were actually alienated, and she still had no way to control them.

So Wu Zetian finally let Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu go, and at this time, another idea started in Wu Zetian's mind, that is to use his own Wu family, because only his own Wu family can be very honest and caring to him , the rest of the people are completely unreliable when encountering a little thing.

However, fortunately, there is another piece of good news, that is, his son Li Hong will soon become the crown prince. Wu Zetian firmly believes that as long as he has Li You's support, the crown prince will belong to his son, and his son will become the crown prince. Prince, this is Wu Zetian's comfort.

Although the current emperor has always listened to you, Li You, so when the emperor is gone, will his son also listen to you, Li You?
This is what Wu Zetian thought, as long as he can suffer slowly, then he will always have the best laugh in the end, so Wu Zetian calmed down quickly.

When the time came to the first year of Xianqing (656), Li Zhi ordered to depose the prince Li Zhong, and replaced the four-year-old acting king Li Hong as the crown prince.

However, the crown prince did not go to his East Palace, but went to Dunhuafang to study. Wu Zetian tried his best to stop him, hoping that Li Zhi would keep Li Hong by his side, but Li Zhi refused Wu Zetian. It was sent to Li You's side, and Li Mingda took care of it directly.

When the time comes, the gold and silver coin system in the second year of Xianqing has been fully implemented under the operation of Chu Suiliang. All the people have exchanged the copper coins at home for gold and silver coins, including those merchants. The gold and silver coins are not as expensive as copper coins Knowing how light it is, and in this year, Datang Chang'an established the first bank.

The bank was called Huitong Tianxia. At first, its business was mainly currency exchange, and later it added deposits, lending and exchange services.

It was first established in Chang'an, and soon, other important cities of the Tang Dynasty also successively established money houses that connect the world. And Princess Jinyang Li Mingda.

With the names of these three people shaking there.

The bank of Huitong Tianxia immediately blossomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and was recognized by the people immediately, and then Huitong Tianxia Bank issued the first banknote. The appearance of this banknote once again greatly facilitated the merchants, and because In this way, Datang's business has been further developed.

But at this time, something troublesome happened to Wu Zetian. She was directly stabbed in the back by her own family members. She knew that Wu Zetian began to reuse her family members.

But what made Wu Zetian speechless was that she originally wanted to promote her eldest brother and second brother, because at this time Wu Zetian felt that she urgently needed the help of her family.

So Wu Zetian thought it over and decided to use her three elder brothers Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, and Wu Weiliang.

It's just that the relationship between Wu Zetian and the three brothers is very bad.The cause of the incident must be blamed on Wu Meiniang's father, Wu Shiyi.Samurai Yu is a Sui and Tang version of Chen Shimei.

The samurai was born in a poor family, and married his wife Xiangli from a poor family in his early years.After the samurai became rich, he abandoned his wife and children, and ignored his regular wife and sons in Wenshui's hometown.Xiangli died of illness in his hometown, and the samurai did not go home to bury his wife.

As the sons of the Xiangli family, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang couldn't feel their father's love at all.

After Xiangli's death, Samurai Yu continued to marry Hongnong Yang's daughter as his wife, and gave birth to Wu Meiniang.Wu Meiniang has been her father's darling since she was a child, but poor Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang don't care about their parents.

This situation caused Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang to be full of hostility towards Yang's daughter and Wu Meiniang.After the death of the samurai, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang became the heirs of the Wu family according to the principle of succession by sons.Yang's daughter took Wu Meiniang's husband and son, and went to Wenshui's hometown to join Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers.Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang drove Yang's daughter and Wu Meiniang out of the house.

The matter between Wu Zetian and his two elder brothers has the taste of a family matter that cannot be resolved by an upright official.

At this time, Wu Zetian wanted to let go of the grievances with his elder brother, and arranged official positions for his two elder brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, plus his cousin Wu Weiliang.

Wu Zetian did this out of generosity, her purpose was to hope that her family would come out to help her consolidate her hard-won queen position.However, when Wu Zetian did this, he had to consider his mother's feelings, so he asked his mother, Mrs. Rong Guo, for her opinion.

Mrs. Rong Guo also knew that her daughter had just become a queen, and Changsun Wuji and others were still powerful, so she promised to forgive Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang and let them come out to be officials.

Mrs. Rong Guo set up a banquet and invited Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, and Wu Weiliang to the banquet, intending to have a drink to settle their suspicions.The three brothers of the Wu family were invited to the banquet, and the banquet was considered harmonious at the beginning.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mrs. Rong Guo told the three brothers of the Wu family: "Your sister has become a queen. She hopes to settle down with her brothers. She has arranged official positions for you. Your good days are coming. You In the future, in the court, I will help my sister more."

It's only here that we can taste the taste of this banquet.When the three Wu family brothers heard that they were going to be promoted, they thanked their sister from the bottom of their hearts.At this time, Mrs. Rong Guo made another moth.

She said: "You brothers drove us out back then, but now we don't care about the past, and we are officials for you. You have to think about whose blessings you have enjoyed and who you have gained. You have to think about who you rely on as officials." ?”

This is not pleasant to say, because it feels a bit like giving alms. Sure enough, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang listened to Mrs. Rongguo's words, and felt that their official positions were a bargain.The more the Wu family brothers thought about it, the more something went wrong, and they remembered a sad incident again.

When Wu Meiniang first became the queen, Tang Gaozong followed the usual practice and named the warrior Zhou as Zhou Guogong, and his biological mother Yang as Mrs. Rongguo.According to the etiquette system, as the married wife of a samurai, the Xiangli family should posthumously confer the title of Mrs. Zhou.Wu Meiniang had never met Xianglishi, and had no feelings for Xianglishi, so she forgot about it.Wu Meiniang did not posthumously title Xiangli's family. As the sons of Xiangli's family, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang have some opinions.

The brothers of the Wu family were already emotional about the fact that their mother did not chase after him, but they were even more dissatisfied after hearing what their stepmother Yang said.The brothers of the Wu family had the backbone, so they decided not to eat the cheap food, so they said to their stepmother, Yang: "We are the sons of meritorious officials, and we have been favored by our father. I'm worried."
