Chapter 43 Listening to thunder in a silent place
"Dongnan was originally the chief censor of the Censorate of the Censorate. The reason why he was demoted to Xiangzhou this time was because his previous bullet-print severely offended Wu Sansi. Although the court did not issue a clear edict to sever the imperial edict, Wu Sansi was fined one year's salary."
"A one-year salary fine is nothing. But this is the first punishment that Wu Sansi has received since he was named King Liang, and it is also a matter of severely slashing the arrogance of the Wu clan. Wu Sansi is a villain, how can he not be jealous? What's more, he has been determined to compete with his cousin Wu Chengsi for the throne in the past two years, and it is too late to show his strength in front of the queen of Shenlong. Where can he bear the illegal things that have been exposed? "
"Another, Gongnan is an official appointed by the court after all, and there is no one in the state. Who dares to assassinate easily? Moreover, the crossbow is a heavy weapon in the army, and because the structure is complex and difficult to make, the generals responsible for making this thing have always been used as supervisors for the emperor's imperial guards. Not to mention the local Daozhou town army, even the border army has never been assembled. Since the Emperor Shenlong and Emperor Tian became the pseudo emperor, the supervision has been extremely strict. How can ordinary people get crossbows? How can they bring them to Xiangzhou through thousands of miles? It is necessary to know that the gates of the county and county gates of this dynasty have been equipped with inspection posts."
Fang Shanqi's tone was a little cold and he spoke a little too much. Without the silence and silence of the past, "Now the Imperial Guard is in control of the Wu clan. If you want to do it and dare to do it and do what you do today, you can only Wu Sansi."
From the perspective of motivation and ability, Fang Shanqi said it right. But there was something Tang Song couldn't understand in his analysis, "If Wu Sansi was deliberately trying to please the Queen of the Dragon, would he not be afraid of this matter being exposed?"
"Those two people can't be captured. Even if they can be captured, they will never lead Wu Sansi. Some things in this world are much more terrifying than death. As long as there is no ironclad evidence, who can do anything to Wu Sansi?"
"I mean, he isn't afraid that the Dragon Queen will know?"
Fang Shanqi looked at Tang Song with more and more praise, "As long as things are done cleanly, how could Wu Sansi be afraid that the queen of the sky will know? Perhaps it is unknown if the queen of the sky knows it!"
"Um?"
"Or it's unknown because of this, the queen of the Heavenly Queen is increasingly appreciating Wu Sansi."
This sentence has a deep meaning, and Tang Song took a few turns to understand it. This sentence is too heartbreaking, but it makes people irrefutable.
Now it is the most chaotic time in the Wuzhou court. At this time, no one can shake Wu Zetian's position as emperor. The root cause of the chaos lies in the dispute between the heirs.
It is still unclear whether the throne of Wu Zetian will be passed down to Wu or Li after a hundred years, but at this moment, it seems that Wu Zetian is more willing to pass it to Wu clan. Within the Wu clan, the two nephews who are most likely to compete for this position are two nephews, one Wu Chengsi and the other is Wu Sansi.
Among these two people, based on the current situation, Wu Chengsi is obviously more valued. Therefore, for Wu Sansi, if he wants to compete for succession, he must first win in the competition with his cousin Wenchang's left prime minister Wu Chengsi. But at the same time, Wu Sansi has indeed fallen into the scope of Wu Zetian's selection of heirs.
If you want to choose the heir to the throne, judging from Wu Zetian's experience, it is unknown whether Wu Sansi's assassination of Fang Gongnan could have the impression of "killing and decisiveness".
Of course, these are all uncertain conjectures. The only thing Tang Song knew was that Wu Sansi was a villain, and he was a villain who would have to avenge his enemies. The famous poet in the early and late Tang Dynasty, that is, Chen Zi'ang, who wrote "Not seeing the ancients in front of him, no one sees the comers behind him", was killed by him because he offended him and eventually died in prison.
Judging from Wu Sansi's attitude towards Chen Zi'ang, it was not surprising tonight's incident due to his instructions.
Thinking of Chen Zi'ang, he should be living in this period, right? I just don't know if he is still alive now.
After Tang Song finished thinking, he turned his head and saw Fang Shanqi looking at him with a very strange look. This was not the simple favorable feeling before, but the close and admiration seemed to be like-minded as a soulmate.
Like-minded? Where is this? Tang Song avoided this look and thought for a moment, and understood.
Name! Fang Shanqi's change in attitude towards himself should be due to the name Wu Zetian just now.
At this time, Wu Zetian had been emperor for two years, and the throne had long been consolidated. At this time, under normal circumstances, the subjects should call her "Your Majesty" or "Son of Heaven". However, the name she just called her was Fang Shanqi called her "Shenlong Queen".
When Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was alive, Wu Zetian was the queen, and "Dragon Queen" was the honorific title given to the queen. Fang Shanqi mentioned that the title of Wu Zetian in time was actually called the Queen of Li Tang.
Originally, there was no need to make a big deal about a title, but in this special period, it was about whether it was loyal to the Li Tang royal family or to Wu Zhou's political attitude.
When it comes to Wu Zetian not calling him "Your Majesty" but "Dragon Queen", this means that Fang Shanqi does not recognize the current "Zhou" from the bottom of his heart, and what he recognizes in his heart is the Tang Dynasty. Even if Wu Zetian has the world, she is still the queen of Emperor Li Tang.
In this era of absolute monarchy and centralization, no one dares to be casual when facing such sensitive issues. Since Tang Song, an alien time traveler, calls Wu Zetian the title of "Dragon Queen", isn't it "like-minded"?
If the name is not upright, the words will not go well, and if the words are not upright, the things will not go well. The ancients particularly valued the name of justification!
After thinking about this, Tang Song suddenly felt his mind turbulent, it was so fatal!
Li Tang, Wu Zhou, and the world, these three words are all quick knives for killing people, and the generals were killed by the nine clans. In order to be the emperor and to strengthen the throne, Wu Zetian even killed two of his own sons, let alone others?
The water in the pond... is too deep, and Tang Song doesn't want to get involved. As a time traveler in later generations, he really has no objection to Wu Zetian becoming the emperor. History has also proved that Wu Zetian was competent as an emperor. Without her decades of hard work, the Tang Dynasty would not have been so smoothly from the first success of Zhenguan to the extreme of Kaiyuan.
Of course, the more important reason is that he can't afford to get involved at all.
Afraid that it would be even more troublesome if he continued to talk, Tang Song quickly changed the topic that he was very interested in, "Fang Shanren is very agile just now in Accord. Could it be that he has martial arts skills?"
"Martial Arts?" Fang Shanqi was stunned.
Said the wrong thing! Of course, the word "martial arts" has already existed in this era, but it is mainly used to evaluate emperors. Looking at the achievements of an emperor throughout his life, it is just two aspects: civil and military power. Civil and military power refers to the clear politics and the people live in peace; martial arts refers to the battle formation and killing and expanding territory. This word is really not used by ordinary people. Naturally, there is no meaning of "martial arts" in martial arts novels in future markets.
Tang Song explained, Fang Shanqi smiled in silence, "I was a military household in Guanzhong before serving Emperor Xuanyuan (Laozi). He served in the border army for many years in his prime. The one who worked hard was bow shooting. After years of vain, his eyesight and accurate head were far inferior. Otherwise, how could the assassin shoots out the second crossbow arrow?"
"As for being sensitive, I have a set of methods of meditation and contemplation here, which is quite effective in concentrating and meditation. If you are interested, you can learn it."
The so-called method of meditation and contemplation is a breathing and breathing technique in Taoism, which helps Taoists practice. Concentrating and meditation may be of some use to strengthen their bodies, but that's all. It's completely different from the internal strength and mind methods in martial arts novels in later generations, and it doesn't have that great power.
Speaking of this, it was originally intended to change the topic, so Tang Song could not be disappointed after hearing Fang Shanqi's words. But thinking about the old Taoist's hair and beard were white, and he had such a reaction as if he was moving like a rabbit. It is conceivable that when he was in the army in his prime, he must be a brave man with a hundred enemies.
At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again on the platform, but the dragon boat race had ended and the second round of singing and dancing performance began again.
Tang Song's eyes were focused on the platform, but his heart was filled with circles.
What happened just now was too thrilling, whether it was the assassination against Fang Gongnan or the words of Taoist, or even the things revealed in the plain words of Taoist are more shocking than the crossbow arrow that shines with cold light.
The lightning in the storm is amazing, but the sound of loud sounds is loud and the thunder is truly thrilling.
