.Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo left Luoyang and headed for Qinghai.

In order to seize the time, Wu Zetian summoned to Shangyang Palace before they left and said, "Don't delay the war in the north if you use it, go quickly."

"Hmm." The two of them replied loudly.

I went there quickly, and I was very anxious. After answering, I left immediately, turned over and rode west with my guards.

Watching them leave, Wu Zetian smiled.

The core of the power of the Tang Dynasty was the power of the minister and the military.

Li Wei racked his brains to improve how to improve the country once the monarch is incompetent and the country is in ruins. In fact, Li Shimin has already made a good prototype. That is the distribution of prime minister's power in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Jian took Zhou and established Sui Dynasty and was very afraid of the nobles of Guanlong. He followed the three provinces and six ministries of the Northern Dynasties, and the Central Secretariat system was rumored, and the Secretary of the School was punished, and the Secretary of the School was executed. However, the prime ministers were all discussed in the Provincial Secretariat, and the Secretary of the School could not restrain them. Therefore, when the powerful minister Yang Su served as the Secretary of the Shangshu, Yang Guang felt afraid. When Pei Ji was the Minister of the Shangshu, he was regarded as Duke Zhou.

Li Shimin made reforms and set up the Political Affairs Hall in the Junxia Province, highlighting the authority of the subordinates to review and refute. For example, Wei Zheng repeatedly rejected Li Shi's personal implications with the Ministry of Education. According to his system, any emperor's orders must be passed after the resolution of the Political Affairs Hall. If the emperor's orders are not approved by the Political Affairs Hall, they are illegal books and local agencies cannot recognize them. The emperor is not allowed to use red marks, but can only use ink pens, and the seal bags are also used instead of slanted seals, which are called slanted seals. In history, Li Guer used this ink seals many times to sell official positions. In fact, he refused to give up the legal system's orders.

In the government affairs hall, the king's order should not be in vain to others, to the earth, to overthrow the country, to the people, or to reject them. Otherwise, they will be rejected. The right to institutionalize the king and supervise the king. In order to make the dictatorship of the powerful ministers, the prime ministers of the three provinces gathered together to discuss politics in the government affairs hall of the Ministry of the Ministry of the People's Republic of China, and took turns to keep a record of the writings. All the officials of the six ministries and the Censorate can participate, gathering ideas and working together to disperse their powers.

However, Li Zhi did not continue to do this system well. Li Shimin's system became more trivial. When Li Zhi's hands, fewer ministers could enter the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters, and the power of the Political Affairs Hall gradually concentrated, laying the foundation for the later emergence of Li Linfu and the Prime Minister's system.

The prime minister still shook hands and refuted the rights, and had greater rights than Li Shiminshi, so if you want to seize power, you must start with each prime minister.

Next is military power.

Guo Zhengyi was worried that Qinghai would become more devastating, but he never thought that once Hei Chi Changzhi recalled Luoyang, the court changed his mind and asked Cheng Wuting to go to the north to preside over the defense. Hei Chi Chang was granted a vocational high-ranking and lightweight position. What should I do if I stayed in Luoyang for retirement?

Wu Zetian failed this time.

Hei Teeth Changzhi vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't know how bad it was, so he asked Liu to go to Lingxi to inform Li Wei.

Pei Xingjian thought about it very early. In his expectation, he believed that His Majesty would end the war at the end of May, which was more than half a month earlier than the actual war ended. It was possible that Li Wei did not do a good job, and it was possible that Pei Xingjian neglected the tallness of the Mufu City Wall.

Why did you have this idea? It is because the weather is so hot. In June, the Khorasan area is very hot. Li Wei brought all the soldiers from the north. If he is not used to this kind of weather, there will be a possibility of a plague.

Therefore, the war must be over at the end of May, and then defend the city, defend if you can, and attack again after the autumn. Then Li Wei will turn around and watch the movements in the country and will also understand. If he cannot understand this point, he can only wait for the Empress Dowager to take down the Qinghai army. Then, regardless of the situation in Lingxi, he will lead his army back to Qinghai and expel Li Xiaoyi and Wang Guo. This is equivalent to publicly disobeying his father's order and separating Qinghai. In order to prevent the two old men from using this as an excuse to establish a new emperor, he had to attack Luoyang and act as a rebellious act of killing his father and mother.

He also notified Heichi Changzhi, but the news was fed back to Luoyang, and he was recuperating at home and received the Northern War Report. It had been a while since the letter came to Qinghai, and Liu had left [the first release]. Just after his order, Heichi Changzhi sent people to sneak into Luoshecheng and sent a letter to Wulu.

When Pei Xingjian heard that Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo left, he was still a little worried.

I sent a letter to Heichi Changzhi, but it was too late, and I was afraid that the emperor would not think about it.

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo knew that time was urgent, so they almost didn't rest along the way. They started to set off before the sun set. They stopped at the nearby inn after the sun sets, and almost rushed to Shanzhou without stopping. When they arrived in Shanzhou City, they did not sit down. Li Shouzhen immediately called Heichi Changzhi and changed his teacher ethics to come to receive the imperial edict. However, the Qinghai soldiers said that Heichi Changzhi had gone to Shanzhou.

As Wu Zetian's confidant, the old eunuch knew that the empress dowager had taken a critical step, so he rushed to Shancheng. However, when he arrived in Shancheng, the soldiers reported that Heichi Changzhi had gone to Wansu City. Heichi Changzhi rushed to Wansu City again, and Heichi Changzhi went to Jishi Mountain again. Li Shoucheng was finally angry. This was too coincidental. He asked the soldiers to invite Heichi Changzhi to Wansu City immediately for the imperial eunuch. The old eunuch could no longer run.

Ten days passed after waiting.

Li Shoucheng was anxious and called Qinghai soldiers to ask. This time, the answer was that Heichi Changzhi borrowed Momen Road from Jishishan to Hezhou. Li Shoucheng almost fainted. Although the Tang Dynasty only occupied Qinghai, Hedong, it was also a large area of ​​territory. If he had to spend money like this, he might not have been able to see Heichi Changzhi for three months.

He said in a slight manner: "Do you Black-toothed General want to refuse the order?"

This crime cannot be added randomly. Li Jinxing left Qinghai, Xue Rengui died in Yanmen Pass, and more than 100,000 soldiers in Qinghai were all under the command of one of Heiqichang. How could the court not be afraid? This time, it was equivalent to Heiqichang's desire to rebel.

The deputy general in front of him changed his face in fear and said, "Don't dare, General Black-toothed has received the news [starting] and is coming over immediately on a fast horse."

"How many days?" "Three or four days, four or five days."

"Shajia wait a little longer, no, I'll go to Jiahecheng to wait for him." The two met and saved time.

He came to Jaohe City with Wang Guo again. After waiting for three days, the chief of Jaohe City came in to report that Heichi Changzhi had returned and asked him to pay homage.

"Meet?" Li Shoucheng almost jumped up.

The chief minister had to bite the bullet and said, "That's what General Black-toothed said."

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo looked at each other and were puzzled. Could it be that Hei Chi Changzhi really wanted to rebel? It was not like that. He said he refused the order, which was a big hat. Although Hei Chi Changzhi had many soldiers and generals under him, he was a Hu man, and he wanted to rebel to himself and destroy himself.

He guessed in his heart that he still brought the guards to the government office. Heichi Changzhi welcomed the yamen. He was wearing a plain robe. When he saw them coming, he begged far away and said, "I beg you to welcome the imperial envoy."

Li Shoucheng then breathed a sigh of relief and asked unhappily: "Heiqi Changzhi, you are so brave that you actually asked the Sa family to pay homage to you."

"I dare not, but there is one person, Eunuch Li, who must pay homage to you."

"Who?"

“You will know when you come in.

Li Shoucheng followed Heichi Changzhi into the government office in confusion. When he saw a man sitting in the main hall of the government office, his face was covered in frost, he immediately fell down. How dare he not bow down!

Li Weixi was just reaching Jiaohe City without stopping.

If Zhang Qianxun, Cheng Wuting and Shang had not fought for merit, this time it might have allowed Wu Zetian to succeed. But it has happened, how can we not be alert?

The loss of the Hebei army is not a big problem. It is not his own direct troops, but Qinghai cannot be lost anymore. If Qinghai is lost, the prime minister will either be useless or his mother's confidant. The mother of the northern army will control it and the Yulin Army will control it. What's the use of having only one righteousness in his hands? The Qinghai soldiers are the most important knives in the future and it is also related to the likely outcome of the war in the Western Regions in one or two months and the future direction of Lingxi.

But at that time, the overall situation of Khorasan was not yet determined and it was at a critical moment. He could not come back, so he could only write a letter to let Heiqinzhi be prepared in advance. Khorasan was rough and did not have time to preside over the Persian holy fire ceremony. Fengchen Bujuan led a team of people and rushed back to Qinghai quietly. He also came back in time, otherwise Heiqinzhi would not be able to find excuses to drag him down.

When Li Wei saw Li Shoucheng knew that the Empress Dowager's plan could not be successful, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "I will meet your majesty."

"I heard that you came to Qinghai to issue an order, what is your intention?"

"The Supreme Emperor issued an order to let General Black-toothed as the chief general of Shanyu Road and to preside over the northern defense."

The black teeth are always the chief manager. Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun can only be the coercion. The coercion has a lot of power, but there is still some difference with the chief manager.

"When did you leave from Dongdu?"

"I set out from the Eastern Capital in June Wuyin (June 21st)."

"So when did you arrive in Shanzhou?"

"It was the one from the seventh month of July (July 16th) to Shanzhou." After saying that, a slight bead of sweat was painted on his forehead.

"You old servant, you are walking very fast. It took only more than twenty days from Luoyang to Shanzhou."

Wang Guo's face also changed. Speaking of now, the emperor not only did not let them get up, but also called the most popular eunuch around the Empress Dowager an old slave. It was a bit bad, very bad!

"Report to Your Majesty, the political situation in the north is in ruins, and I dare not delay the whole way."

"Li Shoucheng, how did I treat you in the past?"

"Your Majesty appreciates me very much."

"Then why did you repay me so much?"

"I don't understand," Li Shoucheng said this, his body was a little trembling. Qinghai is the emperor's lifeblood. He will dig the emperor's lifeblood. Today, the emperor is angry and may even kill him. But he can't figure it out. The emperor should be in Lingxi at this moment. According to what was written in the newspaper, he may reach Khurashan's abdomen. Why did he run to Qinghai?

"I don't understand, right? Where are you here? I drag this old servant out and stumble on his mouth for twenty."

If other eunuchs heard this, they would definitely take out Wu Zetian's sign. Li Shoucheng was very smart and did not resist, but just begged, "I am wronged, I am wronged."

He couldn't care about him. Li Wei didn't come back. Maybe everyone didn't understand, but he just understood and had no confidence. When he came back, he told the whole story, and the soldier was not full of righteous indignation. Several guards came over and dragged him out of the government office. In front of everyone, he slapped his mouth with a big mouth with his left and a big mouth with his right.

The matter was far from here and there was no end. Li Wei looked down at Wang Guo again: "I heard you were very proud of this period?"

Wang Guo said in fear: "I dare not, I am lucky to get some promotions.

"For the sake of promotion, you dare to kill me."

"I dare!" Wang Guo was so scared that he was sweating profusely. With this charge, it would be too much for the emperor to kill himself at this moment.

He guessed very much that Li Wei was determined to kill. Without warning, he looked at it and Zhang Qianxun betrayed and Linghu Zhitong betrayed. If he spreads, he would be loyal to Hei Too Chang. If his mother stretched her hand to Qinghai, the soldiers of Qinghai would betray him, Qinghai would still lose it!

"Are you dissatisfied? I will convince you later. But if you are a bold and reckless person, our Tang Dynasty will not be peaceful if you don't kill you. Wherever you come, I will kill him and be convinced!"

The knife was robbed in time and saved, but the knife was used to kill people.
