Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Empress Wei Wantlessly Seals Her Official, Xiao Anle Builds an Artificial Lake Privately

Unfortunately, before he had time to leave, the desperate Sanlang Zong Chuke attacked Wei Yuanzhong again.He ordered Yuan Shouyi to play.The memorial said: When Emperor Zetian fell ill in Sanyang Palace, Di Renjie asked His Majesty to supervise the country. Wei Yuanzhong secretly submitted the memorial and strongly opposed it. This shows what? This shows that Wei Yuanzhong is a big villain! Yang Zaisi (this guy again) took a step forward and supported Yuan Shouyi's statement.Li Xian glanced at Yang Zaisi. Suddenly, his neck swelled and the hall trembled, "A minister who serves the master must do his best. Yuan Zhong is right to do this! What do you think? Do you think that if the master has a minor illness, he must let him go The prince is in power? You know that Di Renjie is a good person, but he is trying to win me over (Li Xian, you are a little clueless)! I know that you just want to use the trivial things in the past to kill people who are still alive. Let me tell you, no !"

A group of people were sweating profusely from Li Xian's scolding, and retreated embarrassingly. After Wei Yuanzhong arrived in Fuling, because he had a bad temper, he was filled with grief and indignation for several days, and he died in a foreign country. Zong Chuke smiled, his body was tall and his face was fair! In the spring of the second year of Jinglong (AD 708), it was rumored in the harem that clouds of five colors suddenly floated under the skirt of Empress Wei.According to my guess, Empress Wei was probably influenced by myths and stories, and wanted to learn from Wu Zetian and portray herself as a fairy.She ignites something that can produce colored gas, and then she can fool the world, saying that she has become a fairy.Of course, my daughter-in-law became a fairy, and my good husband Li Xian was also very happy. He asked the painter to paint a commemorative painting, and circulated it to all the officials in the court.

The joy was coming, and he couldn't stop it. Li Xian thought that there must be auspicious clouds floating out from under his wife's skirt. In order to commemorate this thing that curled up like cooking smoke, he decided to pardon the world.This is an amnesty triggered by a wisp of cooking smoke. Empress Wei is so great! The amnesty was not a festive occasion, and more than a thousand officials and tens of thousands of people were mobilized quickly. One Taishi (said to be a scholar) named Jiaye Zhizhong even ran to Li Xian and recited poems, "I think back then, Emperor Shenyao did not When the emperor was ordered, the song "Peach and Plum" was given; when the Emperor Wenwu was not ordered, the song "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" was given; If you have not been ordered, the song "Yingwang Shizhou" will be sung by the whole world; if Queen Shuntian has not been ordered, the song will be "Sangtiaowei"."

Jiaye Zhizhong also said: "The above story illustrates a truth. Anyone who has been praised before can become the lord of a country in the future. The same should be true for Empress Shuntian. She became the mother of the country and presided over sericulture. And rejoice. I invite you to write twelve chapters of "Sang Wei Song" and make it into a Yuefu, and the queen will play it when she worships the first silkworms!" Of course, in the future, Empress Wei will not have many opportunities to sacrifice Xiancan, because she has more important things to do. There is "Sang Tiao Song" in "Quan Tang Poems". This poem is extremely short, so the full text is recorded below: "Sang Tiao Wei is also happy when he is a girl." (End of the whole poem)

Zheng Yin immediately took up the topic of Kasyapa Zhizhong, and began to quote from many sources, describing these two poems about planting mulberry and weaving reed mats as the divine comedy of the coming of the saint.I don't know how to explain it, but in short, seeing that Li Xian could listen with fascination, Zheng Yin began to ask for Yuefu songs.Li Xian agreed, and Zheng Yin's image in the eyes of everyone suddenly became more stalwart and handsome.Right Buque Zhao Yanxi saw the opportunity and said, "The Master said: 'He may succeed the Zhou Dynasty, although it can be known for a hundred generations.' That is to say, if your majesty inherits the Zhou Dynasty, the descendants can be emperors for a hundred generations!" However, according to myself I understand, what Zi actually said is: "Things after the Zhou Dynasty, even after a hundred generations, can be guessed about the same, that's because human relationships are the same."

Li Xian, who was homeless and didn't like reading when he was young, was fooled by unscrupulous scholars.For such an incisive explanation, he didn't know how to reward him, so he directly promoted Zhao Yanxi (you can forget this person) to an admonition doctor (for the emperor to advise).For Wei Houge's Yuefu 10%, Li Xian immediately ordered to set up four Wenguan bachelors, eight direct bachelors, and twelve bachelors.Li Xian's demeanor of loving his wife has become a well-known fact in the court. Li Xian loves to play, shuttles back and forth in the forbidden garden of the imperial palace.People from the Li family and the Wei family gathered together, followed by a large group of scholars, who wrote poems while visiting the scenery.Li Xian also asked Wan'er to comment on the poems, which was very enjoyable.Li Xian had received many letters suing his wife or his wife's family members, and let him deal with them.At this time, there were two princesses, Anle and Changning, the queen's younger sister, Mrs. Chengguo, Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er's mother, Mrs. Peiguo, Mrs. Zheng, Shanggong Chai, He Lou, and the witch Fifth Yinger ( Fu surname fifth), the wife of Longxi Zhao, there are really enough. Under Li Xian's care, they bully others, sell officials and nobles, and corrupt the law.

Li Xian's confusion is manifested in his disregard for the edict. When princesses and wives came to ask him to sign, they would not read the content.Therefore, at that time, the trend of selling officials was rampant, and 300,000 yuan could buy a central official position, and those who could get to the top were all incompetent rich children. The recommendation letter was sent directly to Li Xian, but Li Xian didn't even read it, and wrote a big "Chi" directly.In this way, this unique slanted seal (the place where the glue is sealed is slanted, so that you can see at a glance that it is a letter of recommendation sent by Empress Wei and his group) was sent to the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. "!"

In less than half a year, there were thousands of extra members, outsiders, coordinators, examiners, procurators, procurators, judges, and magistrates. They were all a bunch of trash.There are family members and relatives behind the officials. A rough calculation shows that behind this huge system, there are still tens of thousands of big mouths that only know to eat and drink.Some people have to eat, and countless people have to have countless meals, so the action of searching for people's fat and people's anointing began.The wives don't worry about these things. On the road of searching, the more they walk, the happier they are.In order to make things more convenient and quick, they also sent the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to Xijing and Dongdu to be on duty.Within a year, tens of thousands of people were recommended as officials.

Shangguan Wan'er is not as beautiful and sensational as in the legend. The poems she wrote are indeed beautiful, but she has done many bad things that have harmed the country and the people.Wan'er had a mansion in the imperial palace, and several mansions outside the palace. In order to go back and forth for pleasure, she has long ignored the rules of going in and out of the palace.Most of the literati and refined scholars that Wan'er associates with outside are Cui Shi's kind of talent, who are handsome and have good literary talents, so they can flirt with her.At her home outside, hundreds of court officials would come to worship every day.A group of people wandered around with Wan'er, trying to wait for an opportunity to curry favor and get promoted and make a fortune.

Needless to say An Le, she went too far, in order to get angry with Chang Le, she made her mansion higher and higher, layer by layer, and finally became a dangerous building.In the end, the whole of Chang'an is as high as Daming Palace and Anle's house.And Princess Anle has never looked at that tall building carefully, but always likes to look in the direction of Changle's house to see if her real estate has been raised.An Le is a child who has not yet grown up. She likes to cry in front of Li Xian. One day, she had a whim and suddenly wanted Chang'an Kunming Pond. The so-called Kunming Lake is equivalent to Hangzhou West Lake, Yangzhou Slender West Lake, and Jinan Daming Lake, and it is not Xia Yuhe who wants the whole lake, but the little princess.

"These are public places, given to one person, how can others use them?" Li Xian asked her with a smile.An Le immediately quit and threatened Li Xian, "Father, since you are not allowed to give me the Kunming Pond, don't worry about the child doing anything else!" After An Le left, countless tragedies occurred in Chang'an one after another.The land of some farmers was seized. A group of men in uniform, armed with weapons and leading a pack of dogs took away their homes and properties.This group of people hired people who came with tools. They took tools and shoveled all the farmer's fields in the four or five miles into flat ground. In the next few days, they started working on the flat ground and dug a very large hole. pit.Just when everyone was wondering, An Le's messenger appeared. He commanded people to dig a river and a big pit. The river flowed into the big pit along the furrows, forming a lake. It wasn't until this time that the people realized that it was the princess who was angry with his father and wanted to build a lake bigger than Kunming Lake.Anle named this artificial lake "Dingkun", which means that she has easily managed Kunming Lake. How about it, is it evil enough? This group of people is more evil than the other, selling officials and nobles, all the most difficult things to do, all fall on the little official Wai Lang.This Yuan Wai Lang was originally a demoted county magistrate, but now he is a Yuan Wai Lang. He is Li Chaoyin.He went to investigate alone and brushed off 1,400 unqualified officials.If you think about it with your ass, you can understand that no matter whether you brush off useful or useless officials, these people, their friends, and their relatives will gather to protest, and tens of thousands of aggrieved officials will start to slander he.But Li Chaoyin was very indifferent and continued his work of brushing people.The person who was brushed is very strange. Is this a villain who brushes people like swiping credit? Among the officials who bought the official position, Li Chaoyin has a very bad reputation.Li Xian also knew that Li Chaoyin was bad, but he was magnanimous.It was really not easy for Li Xian, the affairs of the court were messed up, and later he simply went missing, even the prime minister couldn't find the emperor.But on the court, we can still see his vigorous figure as an old man. This kind of sport was called "blanket hitting" in the Tang Dynasty. The ball is similar to today's football, but the material is different. The goal is smaller and suspended in the air. The rest of the rules are similar to football. In order to cater to Li Xian's hobbies, someone specially built a carpet field in the palace. In order to avoid dust, they even sprinkled a lot of good oil on the field.Soccer player Yang Shenjiao, it is said that this person is invincible all over the world, one person outnumbers others.Originally, he was just an unknown person, but because of his good football, he was caught by the playful Li Xianxiang. Where is the emperor, I have important matters to play! The emperor is making a group with Yang Shen to play the gong in Linyuan, let's play tomorrow if there is something to do! Why do you say that treacherous ministers harm the country? In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Shenlong (AD 706), a blizzard brought bad news in Anxi. Guo Yuanzhen, the handsome and rogue general of Anxi, came on a fast horse and arrived at the tent of Wuzhile, the leader of the Tuqishi tribe. He came to discuss matters with Wuzhile.Since Wuzhile occupied Suiye and its surrounding areas, he, who is good at commanding the army, quickly won over several tribes and commanded twenty governors under his command, and each commander had seven thousand troops under his command.Therefore, Ashina Huseruo, who was in the court, dared not return the broken leaves. Wu Zhile was willing to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Yuanzhen came here to discuss with him the important arrangements for stabilizing Suiye.Comrade Guo Yuanzhen came from afar, and Wu Zhile went out to meet him.Because of the seriousness of the situation, Guo Yuanzhen didn't pay any money, so he chatted with Wu Zhile outside the tent.Guo Yuanzhen didn't expect that Wuzhile was old and frail while he was skilled in martial arts. After talking about the matter, the snow had already fallen a foot thick.Guo Yuanzhen didn't move, he didn't move his feet.Guo Yuanzhen encountered a very unlucky thing. After this meeting, Wu Zhile was so cold that night that he whimpered. Guo Yuanzhen, you are playing too hard!
