Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Feng Xiaobao Sells Plasters in Luoyang Wu Zetian Chaotang Puts a Copper Box

Wu Zetian asked Chen Ziang a few tricky questions, and Chen Ziang answered them fluently.Therefore, he was promoted to Lintai Zhengzi.Chen Ziang, who was full of trains, accused the government of making mistakes one after another, "In the future, less hypocrisy will be promoted, and less ambassadors from Jiudao will be selected on business trips. This kind of system in name only disrupts the lives of the people. It is enough to find highly respected ministers to recommend talents, and you can also be held accountable. The village officials and mayors (Lizheng) do not need to worry about the imperial court at all. It is enough to choose the governor and the county magistrate. If you want them, let them serve the prefecture and counties and take charge of the affairs of the prefectures and counties. The country should pay attention to cultural governance, reduce penalties, and persuade Lessons in farming and mulberry can reduce the burden on the people. Only when Datang becomes a truly powerful country will people flock to it.”

At that time, because the person in charge was a woman, the Turks with ten surnames refused to obey the imperial order and attacked Huihe who had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty without authorization.Wu Zetian was furious and vowed to destroy them.Chen Zi'ang remonstrated again, thinking that Huihe had long been dilapidated, and it was beyond the reach of Datang to help, and it was irreparable.As for Tubo, it did not dare to invade the east because Yaogan and Liangzhou had strong soldiers and horses and guarded the key points, which is different now.If Tubo invades wantonly and destroys our grain and grass storage in one fell swoop, then how can the Hexi states be able to hold on?

Chen Zi'ang suggested to continue to garrison troops and grow food to support millions of troops. So, Tubo has already occupied the land of Shu, should we start from the Shengqiang in Yazhou Road of Shushan as a base to attack Tubo? Wu Zetian thought it was possible. Chen Ziang objected. He believed that the Shengqiang people in Shushan had never rebelled, and it was unrighteous to lead an army to attack the Shengqiang territory.Furthermore, the army marched to Mount Shu to drive away the Sheng Qiang and other tribes. This was what Tubo wanted very much. They envied the richness of Shu and had long wanted to do so.The territory of Shu is vast. How easy is it to station troops?It's a waste of money, so mess yourself up first!

Wu Zetian adopted all of Chen Ziang's suggestions and promoted him to the right guard Cao Junjun. The other side of Wu Zetian. On the streets of Luoyang, there are many shops, tourists are like knitting, and pedestrians are like ants. A group of people gathered together to watch juggling, because the men dancing sticks were there every day, so there was nothing unusual for everyone.Unless he made a difficult move or accidentally drew his own mouth with a stick, everyone burst into applause.Let me introduce first, the man who danced the club, named Feng Xiaobao, handsome and handsome, more attractive than Alain Delon, and better built than Schwarzenegger.

This is true, Xiaobao is so handsome, so whenever he wants to collect money, the men and women in Luoyang City will show him face and put a few Tongbao. Feng Xiaobao knew very well that as a performer who wields knives and sticks, it is really not enough for him to do so, even if he is exhausted, he will not make much money.The world is like this, the real money is not where you put your efforts, but the supporting facilities you launch.Therefore, Comrade Xiaobao, in addition to performing, also launched his own special product - Dali Pill.When Xiaobao introduced the product, he deliberately bulged his pectoralis major, and the six-pack muscles in his abdomen also showed a luster like Bruce Lee.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Feng Xiaobao took the money on a plate. He has a strong physique, but his life is difficult. Often, he fantasizes that he has a luxurious life like an aristocrat, and there is a beautiful woman who dates him in the red attic. Xiao Bao smiled honestly, wiped his sweat, and continued to devote himself to this tiring performance.But recently, it's a little strange. A maid from a noble family often looks at him with her mouth pursed. She doesn't go back when the others leave.She talked to him, asked Xiaobao's parents and hometown, and asked if Xiaobao had a place to live.The maid was here to buy vegetables, and she just knew Feng Xiaobao, but recently she has been provoking a lot, and she seems to be getting closer.

So, the maid led him to the small room in the mansion, and the maid pushed him down on the bed, and the relationship between the two quickly escalated.Feng Xiaobao is still very grateful, he is very satisfied that he can have such an affair, but the place where the beauty led him gave him further fantasies. This is a princess mansion, the mansion of Princess Qianjin (Li Tang's clan), with a large scale, a garden, and countless side houses.Feng Xiaobao wanted to see the beauty of the princess very much. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, imagined the appearance of Princess Qianjin, and lusted hard.Little Treasure's life was in jeopardy, his affair with the maid was easily exposed, and it was common for other maids to report to Qianjin.

So, when the two of them had an affair again, Princess Qianjin appeared in front of their bed. The maid and Feng Xiaobao paled in shock, put on their clothes and knelt down, shouting for mercy. Princess Qianjin was still angry and scolded them severely.Feng Xiaobao only kowtowed, Princess Qianjin glanced at him, and after a few seconds, she said impatiently, "You raise your head up!" Feng Xiaobao's face was livid, and he raised his head obediently.He suddenly discovered that the gap between the legendary princess and the real princess was still quite large, and Xiao Bao was vaguely disappointed.However, it's important for him to beg for mercy now, so Princess Qianjin glanced at her forty-five degrees downward, and told the maid to back down.

Since then, Feng Xiaobao has become the favorite of the princess, and he no longer needs to sell his dog skin plaster. Xiaobao was a little proud, he thought it would be good to really enjoy the feeling of being a son-in-law, so he began to coax the princess with sweet words.However, the princess was thinking about a problem. When Empress Wu rectified the Li family, almost all the princesses did not let her go, but she escaped.The reason was not that Empress Wu was kind, but that Princess Qianjin knew how to support Empress Wu humbly and was at odds with other princesses of the Li family, so she escaped.

The princess wondered whether she should dedicate her favorite to Empress Wu, so that she could enjoy it too.After all, people have more gold, silver, jewelry and various offerings than we do. If we want to show our performance, we have to give things that others have never given. After spending the last night with Xiaobao reluctantly, she came to Wu Zetian the next day. Wu Zetian was very happy, "I accept this Feng Xiaobao, the princess will step down first, I will remember your filial piety this time." Princess Qianjin was also very happy, "As long as the queen mother is happy, as long as she is happy, this darling is just a wish."

In order to deceive others, Wu Zetian shaved Feng Xiaobao's head and dressed him as a monk. He also removed the master (that is, the abbot) of the White Horse Temple and let Feng Xiaobao take charge.After everything was in place, she gave Feng Xiaobao the dharma name "Huaiyi".But Wu Zetian still felt that some things were inappropriate, and later she figured out that Feng Xiaobao had a problem with his background.In order to let this dog skin plaster seller change his status as an aristocrat, Wu Zetian appointed Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, to recognize Master Huaiyi as his uncle. Feng Xiaobao in his early thirties suddenly became the uncle of the son-in-law Xue Shao, which is obviously unreliable. Since he can't be an uncle, he can always be an uncle.Xue Shao reluctantly accepted the reality. He was afraid that if he didn't recognize Feng Xiaobao as his uncle, he would have to report to Lord Yan.Feng Xiaobao, Shi Huaiyi, Xue Huaiyi, very good.Master Huaiyi was like a dream. The queen mother assigned him guards and more than a dozen officials. As a master who lectured on Buddhism, he could come and go from the court at will. Master Huaiyi was riding a horse on Luoyang Street. He was happy that he no longer had to work hard.Walking on Luoyang Street, everyone had to avoid him, and Master Huaiyi's temper was getting bigger and bigger. Master Huaiyi is not a person with a moral bottom line. Without the compassion of the master, there is no need to take into account the feelings of the masses. According to historical records, Master Huaiyi's team was huge, and they swaggered through the market. If anyone dared to approach, they would be pulled over by the guards and slapped until they vomited blood.Sometimes Master Huaiyi was also very excited, jumping off his horse to participate in group fights, beat and kicked repeatedly, the bones of the beaten were broken, and there was a pool of blood when he crawled away. When Venerable Huaiyi was Feng Xiaobao, he heard that Shi and Dao families did not like each other.Now that he has become a Buddha, of course he cannot allow a Taoist priest to appear in front of his eyes.Every time he met a Taoist priest who didn't know what to do and walked on the street, he would be caught. More than a dozen people beat and kicked him violently. Great sense of accomplishment. He felt that being beaten was not enough to teach the Taoist priest a lesson, so he pulled the Taoist priest over, cut off his hair with a knife (extreme insult), then kicked him to the side of the road and walked away. The dignitaries of the dynasty finally met a person worthy of association, and they had no reason to condemn, because it was too late to flatter.Master Huaiyi sat on a royal horse, and all his attendants were officials. When he met people in the palace, they had to salute him.Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, who were the most powerful in the court, met Master Huaiyi and were willing to be his servants, leading the horse and holding the bridle for the master.The mage regarded these two as slaves, his expression was cold, and he treated the two brothers of the Wu family as nothing. After sleeping with Wu Zetian, Master Huaiyi went back to the monastery. At this time, the White Horse Temple was completely different from the past. Under the leadership of Master Huaiyi, hundreds of rascal teenagers gathered in the White Horse Temple. They were ordained as monks and broke the law.Youtai censor Feng Sixu, who was upright by nature and fearless of power, repeatedly arrested the rogue boy of Baima Temple, which was remembered by Xue Huaiyi. One day, Feng Sixu was walking on the road when he was bumped into by the archmage's cavalry. Several people rushed up, punched and kicked Feng Sixuan, causing multiple fractures and vomiting blood.They fought until Feng Sixuan was dying, Xue Huaiyi felt that it was almost done, so he stopped and left.Wu Zetian didn't care about this matter, which fueled Xue Huaiyi's temper, and no one in the court dared to speak out. In the first month of the second year of Chuigong (686 A.D.), Wu Zetian felt embarrassed to control the government for too long, so he issued an edict to restore the government to Emperor Ruizong Li Dan.Li Dan was a very modest person, he refused to obey him life and death, Wu Zetian smiled embarrassedly, she reluctantly came to the court again and proclaimed the rule, and announced amnesty to the world. Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, who led the horses for Master Huaiyi, also took the opportunity to start a big counterattack. They wanted to kill all the meritorious officials in the court, so as to prove that they were the most talented.They first aimed at Li Xiaoyi, the general of the left guard. Li Xiaoyi defeated Xu Jingye with great credit and great reputation.Wu Chengsi was very upset, and repeatedly said bad things about him in front of Wu Zetian, including that Li Xiaoyi wanted to rebel, Li Xiaoyi was planning to rebel, and Li Xiaoyi was rebelling. A month later, Wu Zetian was deeply disturbed, and left Li Xiaoyi as the governor of Shizhou (Enshi, Hubei). Wu Zetian was afraid that people in the world would be dissatisfied with her, so in March of Yangchun, she asked someone to build a copper box. This copper box is placed above the court hall to accept the petitions of all kinds of people in the world.The four sides of the copper box can be used to cast letters, and the structure is also very particular: the east side is called "Yanen", which accepts eulogies and self-recommendations from all directions; the south side is called "Zhaojian", which accepts comments on the gains and losses of the government; The one in the north is called "Redressing Injustice", which accepts the private prosecution of the wronged; the one in the north is called "Tongxuan", which accepts celestial disasters and military secret letters. The box is divided into four parts, with east, south, west and north directions; each of the four directions has one of the five elements, representing "wood, fire, metal and water" respectively; it can also represent the natural four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". Advocate the four virtues of "benevolence, faith, righteousness and wisdom".The four sides of the copper box are blue, red, white and black. It is helpless to say that this box is endowed with a brilliant meaning, but in fact it is responsible for the most terrifying task in the world-stealth. The mailbox is in charge of the commissioner, and only the Zhixie (by Zhengjian, Buque, Supplement) can open it.They went to work during the day and kept watch at night. They opened the box every morning, and after opening, they went to see Wu Zetian with a lot of letters.This is an innovation in the history of letters and visits in China, and it is also the main way for Wu Zetian to understand the people's sentiments. People's trust in the copper box was beyond Wu Zetian's imagination, but most of the letters were informants, which also surprised Wu Zetian.However, a miracle is about to happen soon, and this is all a matter of cause and effect.
