After Li Zhi's political breakthrough and the four-year love rebellion, Sun Chang's infinite power reached the peak of his life. Except for Shi Li Ao, the other six members of the Prime Minister's team are Sun Chang party member. Li Shiwei, one of Emperor Taizong's ministers who trusted orphans most, was exiled by Emperor Taizong when he was dying in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he was promoted to the servant of Shangshu and became a member of the prime minister team. However, under the pressure of Sun Chang Wuji, in the first year of Yonghui, Shunfu voluntarily resigned as the prime minister of Shangshu Zuofushe, and only retained the honorary titles of Tongzhong Shumen Sanpin, Kaifuyi Tongshi and so on. However, the three products of the same book are synonymous with the prime minister, and they can still participate in the highest decision-making of the court in name. It's also a trick that Li Shizhen put forward for the emperor to bring down Sun Chang Wuji.
Perhaps Sun Chang Wuji's attack on the eunuch's rebellion was too strong and his methods were too harsh, which led to the aggravation of Li Zhi's sense of crisis. From the 4th year of Yonghui, Tian Zi gradually embarked on the road of political breakthrough. Therefore, it is common for the Emperor to promote Li Shizhen, and he ordered people to repaint the curtain of Li Shizhen in Lingyange, and personally prefaced it to increase his position. It is obvious that the emperor is trying to seize power. In the harem, he favored the political supergirl Wu and alienated the queen. Finally, the Queen Mother's uncle Zhong Shuling realized that the Queen was about to fall out of favor, so she resigned from Zhong Shuling's post, and Li Zhi immediately reduced her to the official position. In court, the son of heaven continued to accuse the courtiers of not remonstrating, losing their virginity and testing their attitudes.
In the harem, Wu worked closely with his political partner Li Zhi to seize power. In the sixth year of Yonghui, a baby girl died suddenly, and Wu launched a fatal blow to the Queen-accusing the Queen and her mother Liu of practicing witchcraft in the dark.
Without a clear investigation, the emperor couldn't wait to issue an imperial edict to expel Empress Liu from the palace and forbid her to set foot in the palace again. In the second month, the son of heaven expelled Liu, the official department minister, from the court. The king's queen is completely alone. Therefore, the son of heaven broke the convention of being a noble and virtuous princess, and made great efforts to invent the name Chen Fei, in order to pursue Wu Mei and seal his position. However, with the support of Wuji, Chinese and Korean servants Yi and Zhong Shuling came to help the emperor, and his will was defeated.
The failure of Emperor Hewu and the market economy of the imperial court made them realize that the only way to defeat Wuji was to establish their own political power in North Korea as soon as possible. The market economy has an important foundation-there is demand and there is supply, which also applies to the political field.
At this time, a group of politically astute officials in the imperial court had long been aware of the political needs of the emperor, and they were already waiting for an opportunity-Li Yifu, Wei, Xu, Cui, Yuan, etc. Among them, Li Yifu and Xu both became famous earlier but had bad luck. Maybe this is the only chance to worship each other. Time and tide wait for no man, they immediately joined the political camp of Emperor Wu Mei and started the greatest cause at all costs-supporting Wu Mei to seal the queen.
With the growing power of the power group, the emperor called several prime ministers to discuss the major events after Wu Mei was blocked. The queen has no children, while Wu has children. What if she wants Zhao Yi to be the queen? There is no doubt that it was strongly opposed by the prime ministers. The son of heaven repeatedly tossed this matter with the tactics of heels, and as a result, Chu Suiliang broke the skylight unscrupulously-Wu Shi was known by the emperor in advance, and everyone knew it. How could he hide it? ! Moreover, the performance was excessive, and the head touched the post, and the blood was stained with Dan Yong. Finally, Li Shiqiu went into the palace to meet the holy monk, and claimed: Your majesty's family affairs, why ask more outsiders. So Xu Jingzong, on behalf of the emperor, persuaded Sun Chang Wuji to change course and was rejected. He said in the DPRK: Weng has collected ten hoofs of wheat and wants to change women; After Kuang was to be established, why did all the staff disagree? This famous wife-swapping theory made Li Zhi's public opinion field.
In September, Chu Suiliang was removed from the right servant shooting and demoted to Tanzhou Secretariat.
On October 13th, the sixth year of martial law, Li Zhi sent an imperial edict, deposing the queen and: the queen and conspired to poison, deposing her as a mother and brother, and removing her name, and moving to Lingnan. (Zi Tongzhi Jian, Volume 200)
On October 19th, officials of the Tang Dynasty jointly wrote a letter, demanding to enter the palace to sit in martial arts. On the same day, Emperor Li Zhi issued an imperial edict, announcing that he was awarded Queen tachileik.
In the famous "Imperial edict that Wu Lizhaoyi is the queen" in this history, Li Zhi solemnly introduced his new queen Wu Mei to the world, and the imperial edict said:
However, as many people know, the so-called gift from Wu Shi is just a big lie that Li Zhi told the whole world. He tried to downplay the embarrassing fact that Wu Mei was once the concubine of the first emperor-as long as Wu Mei was said to have been given by the first emperor, her identity would no longer be Li Zhi's concubine, but a well-founded wife and concubine, and the legal basis for establishing Wu Mei as the queen would be available.
On the first day of November in the sixth year of Yonghui (AD 655), Chang 'an seemed to usher in a grand festival.
On this day, Tai Chi Palace held a grand ceremony to canonize the new queen Wu Mei. Busy ceremony officials and hard-working imperial secretaries began to carefully prepare for this grand ceremony ten days ago. They not only tried their best to make every corner of Taiji Palace look brand-new and colorful, but also collected hundreds of thousands of golden yellow African chrysanthemums from all over the world to decorate this solemn palace with charm and dazzling. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning suddenly broke through the colorful clouds in the eastern sky and sprinkled warm light on Chang 'an in winter, Taiji Palace was already crowded with people and colorful flags were flying. Hundreds of officials of the civil and military forces in the DPRK, the wives of the imperial court and the imperial palace, the chiefs of Siyi, and the envoys of various countries in Beijing have been waiting at the Baoshiyu gate of the palace since dusk, with respectful expressions and eager eyes, waiting to meet the new queen of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Mei.
At this time, the Queen's Luanjia and ceremonial ceremonies were marching from the inner hall to the Suyi Gate. The harem concubines standing on both sides of the road paid attention to the new queen with half admiration and half jealousy. They saw Wu Mei, the queen under the canopy, wearing a crest and gown, with an elegant and gorgeous smile on her face all the time.
When Wu Mei, a well-dressed queen, finally appeared on the towering and majestic rostrum of Suyimen, the bells and drums in the Taiji Palace rang, and people who had been waiting for a long time turned their eyes to the rostrum with infinite longing. On that day, the wind blew from Zhong Nanshan, and people saw the clothes and skirts of Empress Wu Mei fluttering leisurely in the wind, just like a bird with colorful wings spreading its wings.
Many officials and envoys who witnessed the Queen's appearance for the first time let out a sigh of surprise in their hearts. To their surprise, although the appearance of the new queen is far from being a fish in a pond or a goose in a pond, her temperament, charm and spirit are obviously extraordinary and amazing, especially her suffocating feminine charm, which most women do not have.
In the sound of bells and drums resounding through the sky, Yi Tu Moxibustion of Sikong Li Xiantuo presented the Queen's seal to Wu Mei on behalf of the imperial court. At this moment, Wu Mei's eyes suddenly flashed the snowy winter 17 years ago. She saw the 14-year-old girl being taken into the palace by a carriage. The girl's face is half reserved and half sad. She heard the girl say that it was a blessing to see the son of heaven.
At this time, Wu Mei's ear rang with the morning bell and dusk drum of Ganye Temple. She saw the girl with all her hair lost and her face facing the sky walking alone through the desolate courtyard of Ganye Temple. Her loose clothes were puffed up by the strong wind and looked like a lonely bird. Whenever the dead of night, the girl who stayed up all night will always spread out an ordinary piece of paper, let the surging tears fall with the bleak pen and ink, and pour out endless love and broken feelings over and over again. ...
At this moment, the sadness and joy of seventeen years are flying in Wu Mei's memory like changing clouds, and the sunshine of six years in Yonghui has irresistibly pierced the clouds, reflecting the peach-blossom face of Queen Wu Mei and the golden rockhopper on her head. Li Zhi, the son of heaven, smiled and took the queen's hand and waved to thousands of subjects who fell at their feet. The crowd immediately heard a flood of cheers and blessings.
At that time, Wu Mei, a 14-year-old genius, was just a young flower in bud, which was randomly planted in a corner of Ye Ting Palace and grew alone. Today, the 32-year-old Queen Wu Mei has stood at the door of Su Yi with the attitude of the mother instrument of the world and accepted the worship of the people.
This day's conferring ceremony left an indelible impression on many people. In particular, the rockhopper shining in the sun, like a delicate and plump golden peony, is in full bloom at the top of the palace, which is bound to make many subjects in the Tang Dynasty unforgettable.
After the rival in love was replaced by Prince Wu Mei in the palace, the queen and Xiao Shufei, who were abolished as Shu Ren, were imprisoned in the dark and cobweb-like provisions of the cold palace. But Queen Wu Meiniang didn't give them a chance to see the light of day again, so she cut off their hands and feet, threw them into a wine jar and got Er Gui drunk! And his descendants changed their surnames and were reduced to slaves from generation to generation.
Subsequently, Xu immediately wrote to Shu, saying: In the early years of Yonghui, Guo Ben (referring to Li Hong, the son of Wuhou) was not born, which made the comet surpass the sun and the moon. Now that the queen is in place, the first son should appear to make the sun brighter and the remaining Mars extinguished as soon as possible. Never put the cart before the horse and put on your clothes backwards. I know what's going on between father and son. It's hard for outsiders to interrupt, but I'm ready, even if I fry it to a pulp.
Xu Kui is a glib official. He can always express boring political language so vividly. Li Zhi saw Shu and summoned him at once. Xu once again stressed to the emperor that the prince should be abolished as soon as possible to save the country, otherwise it would be a blessing to the ancestral temple. Li Zhi replied: Zhong Er himself has offered to resign. Xu Jingzong said quickly that this prince is very wise. Please help him fulfill his wish as soon as possible.
In the first year of Qingyuan (A.D. 656), Prince Jong Li was deposed as the King of Liang and served as the secretariat of Liangzhou (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi). Li Hong, who was only four years old, was appointed as the Prince. In February, Wu Mei's late father warrior τ called Stuart and made him Duke of Zhou. In the future, Queen Woods' "Tomb of the Big Week" originated from the troubles of the soldier φ.
In March of the second year of the Wuji Rebellion in Sun Chang, Sui Liang, the secretariat of Tanzhou, was once again demoted to the more remote Guizhou (now Guilin, Guangxi) as the governor; Then, Li Yifu, assistant minister of Zhongshu and political adviser, was promoted to Zhongshu.
In August of the same year, Wuhou realized that the time was ripe and began to formally challenge his eldest grandson. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, a pair of loyal eagle dogs, charged forward again. They jointly played, saying that Chinese and Korean servants, China secretariat and exiled Sui Liang colluded secretly, so they deliberately transferred Sui Liang from Tanzhou to Guizhou; Guizhou is a military stronghold, so it can be seen that Han and Lai want to use Sui Liang as foreign aid with ulterior motives. On August 1 1 day, Emperor Gaozong issued a letter, reducing Han Ai to the secretariat of (now Sanya, Hainan) and Lai Ji to the secretariat of Taizhou (now Linhai, Zhejiang). At the same time, Sui Liang was once again demoted as the secretariat of Aizhou (now Qinghua City, Vietnam), and Liu was demoted as the secretariat of Xiangzhou (now Xiangzhou County, Guangxi). At this point, the eldest grandson was expelled, leaving Sun Chang alone to form the Wuji Army. In the winter of the third year of Xianqing (AD 658), Sui Liang finally closed his eyes in endless loss and anger after writing a letter to the son of heaven, at the age of 63.
In April of the 4th year of Xianqing (AD 659), the marquis of Wu ordered Xu to launch the most fatal blow to Wuji. Xu and Xin Taizu will jointly try a case to find out that a Luoyang man named Li Fengjie accused the prince of washing horses and Wei, and supervised the cronies of the suggestion. After Wei He was arrested, Xu may have used some means of extorting confessions by torture during the trial. Wei couldn't bear it and tried to commit suicide. As a result, he attempted suicide. So, Xu had a brainwave and suddenly said that Wei committed suicide for fear of sin, not because of careless friends, but because of other major secrets. Xu said: Ji Fang committed suicide because he wanted to be a loyal minister close to Mowgli, so that power could be returned to Mowgli, and he tried to rebel. (History as a Mirror, Volume 200) refers to Wei's attempt to collude with Wuji, frame the loyal monarch of the imperial court, return the power of state affairs to Wuji, and then wait for an opportunity to launch a coup; Just because of this discovery, Wei Ji committed suicide. The development of the case here, of course, has gone far beyond the scope of nepotism and turned into a serious rebellion case. The principal criminals suspected of rebellion are Qiu and uncle Wuji.
Obviously, Xu's accusation against Wuji has no real evidence, which is basically a false accusation. However, with Yonghui's three-year love case, this case is not surprising at all. Xu's technique is exactly the same as the case of infinite sex. When hearing the news that Sun Chang Wuji was suspected of rebellion, Emperor Li Zhi said in horror, "What is this? My uncle has been alienated by the villain, and there may be a little suspicion. Why rebel? Xu replied: I have studied the whole case. Sun Chang Wuji's case has come to the bottom, but your majesty still doubts it. I'm afraid this is not the blessing of the country.
Li Zhi wept and said, "My family is unfortunate, and there are many disagreements between relatives. Princess Gaoyang rebelled in previous years, but Uncle Yuan is still like this today, which makes me ashamed to face the people all over the world. " . What should we do if this is true? Xu said, "My concubine loves wet behind the ears. What can she do if she rebelled with a woman? " ! But Sun Chang was infinitely different. He followed the first emperor for the world and the world served his wisdom. After 30 years as prime minister, the world is afraid of its power. Once he starts, who will your majesty send to resist? Today, thanks to the spirit of the ancestral temple, the emperor is jealous of evil, and it is a celebration of the world to draw out the big rape and the big evil from small things. What I am worried about now is that Wuji knows that Wei tried to commit suicide, so he hastily staged a coup and embraced all evils, which would be the worry of the ancestral temple. May your majesty make a decision quickly! Li Zhi was speechless for a long time, and finally asked Xu for further investigation in order to get conclusive evidence.
Xu didn't live up to the emperor's expectations. He suddenly interrogated Wei overnight and reported to Li Zhi the next morning. He said: Wei pleaded guilty last night and admitted to colluding with Wuji. I asked Wei, He Wuji is the closest relative of this country, and he is favored by the tired dynasty. What's the hatred? Wei said that Han Ai privately said to Mowgli, "At the beginning, both Liu and Sui Liang advised you to be a prince. Now that the crown prince has been abolished, the emperor must have doubts about you. The experience of Taichang Gao Qingshou (the son of Gao Shilian, the uncle of his eldest grandson, was demoted to Yizhou in December of the first year of Qing Dynasty) is the best proof. " Sun Chang Wuji felt sad and afraid at Han Ai's words, so he tried his best to protect himself. Later, when he saw that Sun Xiang, Wuji's nephew, was appointed as the secretariat of Jingzhou by the Ministry of Industry, and Han Ai and others were also convicted one after another, he plotted with Wei day and night to prepare for rebellion.
Speaking of this, Xu finally made a concluding speech: I conducted an in-depth investigation according to Wei's confession and found that all of them were in line with the facts. Please allow your majesty to arrest them and deal with them according to law. Tears welled up in Li Zhi's eyes again, and he choked up and said, if my uncle really did, I would never have the heart to kill him; If I kill him, who will the world take me for? Who will future generations take me for? Without thinking about it, Xu said that Zhao Bo was the uncle of Emperor Wendi. Wendi's entry into the contemporary king of England has also made great contributions. Later, he only committed the crime of murder, and Emperor Wen ordered the officials of the civil and military forces to put on mourning clothes, to mourn, and then killed them. Today, the world still regards Wendi as a wise king. Now, Sun Chang has forgotten the great kindness of the two dynasties and plotted to overthrow the country, and its crime is even worse than that of Zhao Bo. Fortunately, the plot was automatically exposed and the traitor confessed. Your majesty still has doubts, so he can't make an early decision! As the ancients said,' if you don't stop, you will be upset'. No security opportunities are allowed. Today mowgli is an adulterer. He belongs to Mang and Sima Yi. If your majesty delays any longer, I'm afraid I'll regret changing my elbow and armpit! Xu deserves to be the 18th bachelor of Qin. He is not only eloquent, but also knows history like the back of his hand, and the corresponding historical facts are handy and appropriate. Therefore, this statement sounds really well-founded and impeccable. Therefore, Li Zhi naturally put away her tears and agreed to arrest and punish Sun Chang Wuji.
During the two-day conversation, Emperor Li Zhi shed tears several times. It still looks like a kind-hearted person who is generous and filial, but in fact it's just a sad show deliberately performed by Li Zhi. In this sad show, Li Zhi and Xu cooperated seamlessly: Li Zhi was helpless from beginning to end, in order to keep his image as a benevolent king in front of the world and avoid being killed by historical stigma; On the contrary, Xu has always been firm and decisive. No matter what doubts and questions the emperor raised, he always responded quickly and solved them satisfactorily, thus not only maintaining the moral image of Emperor Li Zhi, but also helping him achieve the political goal of being inconvenient to say. At first glance, the Wuji rebellion seems to be Xu's doing, but in fact he is just a concrete executor. The real leader is actually this innocent-looking Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Sun Chang Wuji had nothing to do with Wei's cronyism case, but under the gradual suggestion and guidance of Emperor Li Zhi, it was during this question-and-answer session that Wuji was charged with treason by Luo Zhi, which was irrefutable evidence from the beginning. In the dialogue between the monarch and his subjects, there is a key detail that cannot be ignored, that is, the so-called evidence that can really convict Sun Chang Wuji was actually fabricated the next day.
Originally, Xu couldn't wait to convict his grandson on the first day, but Li Zhi ordered to be more careful (Zi Jian, Volume 200). Li Zhi issued this order not so much to prove Sun Chang Wuji's innocence as to try his best to prove his guilt. In other words, Li Zhi is actually suggesting that more convincing evidence is needed to convict Wuji, a special person. Xu Jingzong got the message, so he concocted a pile of hard evidence overnight, making Sun Chang jump into the Yellow River. If Li Zhi really wants his uncle to be innocent, then even if Xu Jingzong gets the evidence, Li Zhi should check it carefully and personally understand the whole case. At the very least, before conviction, or before expelling Sun Chang Wuji from Chang 'an, he should at least see his uncle for the last time. But he doesn't even want to see his uncle for the last time. "Biography of Sun Chang Wuji in Old Tang Dynasty" said: The emperor didn't ask the reason of Wuji's rebellion, but only listened to Jing Zong's false construction. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" also said: Don't ask mowgli in the past. Both historical materials use the same surprise word here, which shows that Li Zhi's move is really unexpected, and it is enough to disprove his previous sadness, helplessness and helplessness, all for show!
On April 22nd, the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Xianqing (AD 659), Emperor Li Zhi removed Sun Chang Wuji from his post, title and fief, and was demoted to Yangzhou Secretariat, but he was not allowed to take office. Instead, he was sent to Guizhou (now Pengshui County, Chongqing) for resettlement, and at the same time he was allowed to enjoy the living treatment equivalent to a first-class official. The brilliant career of the two dynasties elders and a generation of powerful ministers ended.
At the end of July in the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Xianqing, Emperor Li Zhi ordered, Vinegar and Liao to re-examine the case of Wuji rebellion, and Xu sent Yuan, a scholar of Chinese literature, to Ganzhou, and then dysprosium mowgli rebelled. In front of Yuan, Wuji, a powerful minister, could only end the glory of Zhenguan and Yonghui era with a white silk.
Mowgli wealth, and Gong Yue? The arrogance of the past is still the same, but everything seems to have happened in a previous life.
Conclusion 1 has been a widow since ancient times.
The emperor's awakening is bleeding. If the prime minister cannot represent the imperial power, fame is dust.
