Chapter nine hundred and ninety seventh killer
Taiping Qingsuo Daimei, pondered: "Er Zhang originally intended to seize power, Erlang! Isn't this move that we give up power? Isn't this right? Isn't this right for Er Zhang's thoughts?"
The letter was written by Yang Fan, who asked the Beijing-centered Beijing to create a news that the two Zhangs were in charge of the Imperial College and also took charge of the Imperial College to capture the country's culture and education. Although Yang Fan's letter had listed many reasons, Taiping still felt incomprehensible about this.
The letter was written by Yang Fan to Taiping and Wan'er, but Wan'er also received a letter from Yang Fan alone. In the letter, Yang Fan confessed his difficulties to Wan'er. Yang Fan's move was a deterrent to the Shandong gentry. If Guo Yuanzhen's actions in Guanlong could only make the Li family in Longxi surrender, his move would have grabbed the entire Shandong gentry.
The privilege of education has always been the foundation of aristocratic families. Over the past thousands of years, the aristocratic families have experienced ups and downs, and finally they regained their power through their profound cultural and educational heritage. They will never allow superior status in cultural and educational areas to be lost to others. Especially now that the imperial examination system is in place, if they lose their superior status in cultural and educational areas, even if they only have thirty or fifty years of hard work, it is hard to say whether they can make a comeback. No one dares to take this risk.
But Taiping didn't know that Yang Fan used this killing weapon to intimidate the Shandong gentry. Yang Fan could not tell her the existence of "Ji Si Tang" and his identity as the leader of the exoteric sect. In this way, his motivation for doing this would lack sufficient persuasion. The task of persuading Taiping could only be handed over to Wan.
Shangguan Wan'er thought about it and said carefully: "The purpose of Zhang Yizhi's book is to be a master of literary circles. Through this action, he accumulates his virtue in the literary circles and recruits a group of famous talents under his command. The ultimate goal is to gain enough power to control the court."
Taiping sneered: "Not bad! Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!"
Shangguan Wan'er sighed and said, "But the last time Zhang Changzong slandered him and forced the princess Yongtai to death. Your Highness, you and King Liang wrote a letter to impeach him. What is the result? Zhang Changzong was just sent out of the capital to avoid the limelight. The queen entrusted him with the important task of imperial envoy and gave him a huge contribution."
Taiping was silent for a long time and said sadly: "Concubine Wei gave birth to three daughters, Changning, Yongtai and Anle. Among the three daughters, Yongtai is the most harmonious, gentle, virtuous, and polite. But she was the one who suffered this sudden disaster. Could it be that a good person is not alive for a long time..."
Taiping has not had any contact with these three nieces for many years. Although the family affection is indifferent, the blood connection is in contact. Thinking that Li Xianhui was pregnant but was cruelly persecuted to death, it makes people feel sad. The person who killed Li Xianhui was her own grandmother, her biological mother. Even Taiping, who had known her mother for a long time, couldn't help but feel sad.
When she heard her mention Li Xianhui, Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously stroked her gradually bulging abdomen.
A little life is nurturing in her womb. Li Xianhui's pain and despair, as a pregnant woman, empathizes with her. She can't hide the fact that she is pregnant for long. She knows what the queen is most taboo, and she doesn't know whether her arrangements can allow her, especially her children, to escape, and it's heartbreaking to think about it.
Taiping suddenly mentioned Li Xianhui's death. Although he did not understand and agree with Wan'er, he had already admitted that the alliance between Wu and Li families would be difficult to have an impact on her mother who was naturally frivolous. Now there are only two Zhangs who can influence the queen's will. This is a tactful recognition of Wan'er's speculation.
Wan'er said: "Erzhang recruited many people for their use, and there were many talents among them. Chang'an had such a big deal and the emperor was about to move the capital again. Even if Erzhang couldn't think of this opportunity to be in charge of culture and education, would all their subordinates have thought of it? If they took the initiative to propose to the emperor to master the Imperial College, His Highness, even if they wanted to stop him, they might not be able to succeed."
Princess Taiping frowned and said, "Then let's do the opposite? What if this trick is backfiring by advancing and retreating, the mother emperor follows the flow and uses Zhang Yizhi's credit for compiling "The Three Practices of Pearls" to make him take over the Imperial College... They are young, but they have enough time to use this place to support scholars to make the scholar surnamed Zhang of this dynasty."
Wan'er said: "Although this is the foundation of the country's support for scholars, it is extremely slow to achieve results. They must always hold the power of culture and education before what His Highness is worried about will happen!"
Taiping realized that the two Zhangs were in their prime, so of course they had enough time to manage cultural education and cultivate their confidants, but the queen was old. Can she live for so long? If the queen had funeral, what kind of cultural education would they still hold?
Wan'er said slowly: "So, even if we make mistakes, it will not really cause any serious consequences. Moreover, the following articles listed in Erlang's letter should ensure that the power of culture and education will not really fall into the hands of Er Zhang. Besides, Erlang has a great influence on Zhang Changzong. Now Zhang Changzong is in Chang'an. Do you think Erlang will prepare for it in front of him?"
Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up. Wan'er said sweetly: "Zhang Changzong's wisdom is far inferior to Zhang Yizhi, but the emperor favored him the most. If Erlang had influenced him first, the final result of this matter would not be out of our control."
Princess Taiping slowly put away the letter in her hand, nodded slowly and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, I'll find a way to release the wind and create momentum for the two Zhangs first!"
The two women looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly there were footsteps in the flowers. Xu Houde, who was once the coachman of Princess Taiping, now the general manager of Zi Zeyuan, appeared in front of them and bowed to Taiping: "Your Highness, Princess Anle's mansion has sent news, Princess Anle gave birth to Lin's son, and the mother and son are safe."
When Princess Taiping heard this, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes without any notice. Anle's character could not be hidden from the queen Wu Zetian, so naturally she could not hide from Princess Taiping with a pair of wise eyes. When she first met this niece at Longmen, she still liked it, but once she saw through Anle's nature, she became disgusted with this vanity, cunning and frivolous niece.
This time, Princess Anle was married for only seven months and had a son, which made the royal family look dull. According to the queen's wishes, she wanted to use medicine to abort it, but Wu Sansi refused. This was his grandson. He ran to Wu Zetian and cried and begged, and Wu Zetian gave up.
However, as a result, the Liang Palace and Princess Anle's Mansion were very low-key about Anle's childbirth. Now that Anle's childbirth is not widely publicized, the royal family has no rewards. Even the princess informed her, the princess, was extremely low-key. Princess Taiping thought for a while and ordered: "Let Li Yi send a gift, and I will visit the mansion another day!"
Xu Houde bowed and retreated. Princess Taiping seemed to have never happened. She turned to Wan'er and said, "A piece of Cuju venue has just been flattened in the garden. You and I haven't played Cuju in the same venue for a long time. Do you want to show your skills?"
Wan'er hurriedly said, "It's not the time when spring and autumn are in a state of exhaustion. After only sitting for a while, I feel a little tired and have to take a nap."
Princess Taiping then stood up and said with a smile: "You, you have been having too many banquets recently, and you are lazy. Be careful of your body and gain weight. Hey? You seem to be getting a little fat."
Wan'er was panicked, and she didn't dare to let her take a closer look. She spitted on her and said angrily: "No matter how fat you get, you can't get your delicate and erect figure. Don't say sarcastic words." As she said that, she rolled up Yunswept and hurriedly avoided it.

On the island in the middle of the lake in Longqingchi, Zhang Changzong was sitting on a stool, carrying a fishing rod in his hand like Yang Fan in a wheelchair. However, his attention was not on the fish float, and he ignored the fish float that was trembling with great fear. He had no idea that a fish had already taken the hook. He was excitedly showing off his great achievements to Yang Fan.
Behind them was Lu Maofeng, the general of the Qianqi Camp, who was originally from Zhang. Today, Zhang Changzong came to visit Yang Fan and was escorted by him.
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Liu Lang is indeed a person with great wisdom and skills. The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate were in Chang'an for several months and found some evidence. Unfortunately, they did not have the courage and did not know how to start, so they were passive everywhere and were teased by those corrupt officials. Yang was also implicated and almost lost his life.
When Liulang first arrived in Chang'an, he used great courage to sweep away the fangs, and used a fast sword of the emperor to cut the mess, and cleanly resolved the chaos in Chang'an. After Liulang's vigorous rectification, the emperor's move to the west will be smooth sailing."
Zhang Changzong was very happy, like Yang Zaisi, the prime minister, and was also considered a figure who had been rising and falling in the officialdom for decades, but he only praised Zhang Changzong for his beauty. He didn't know that young and vigorous young people didn't want to have real skills. Even if a man is beautiful, what he cares about most is not his appearance, especially Zhang Changzong used his beauty to serve the emperor, and he didn't like this topic.
Yang Fan's praise was scratching the itchy part of Zhang Changzong. Zhang Changzong was so happy that he gently lifted the fishing rod in his hand and then threw it into the water casually. The fish had been unhooked, and the fish food on the hook was gone, and he had never noticed it.
Zhang Changzong swung the fish hook and said to Yang Fan with a reserved attitude: "The "Three Sects Zhuying" compiled by Wulang is about to be completed. My brother means to slow down the speed, drag it a little first, and then offer this masterpiece to the saint after the saint moves the capital to Chang'an, as a gift for the saint to move the capital!"
Yang Fan sucked his palm and sighed, "Wulang is aware that if the saint moves the capital and presents a masterpiece, isn't it just the icing on the cake?"
Zhang Changzong smiled proudly, turned to Yang Fan, and lowered his voice and said, "Wulang's "Three Sects Zhuying" is about to be completed, and I have made great contributions in Chang'an again. The saint is very happy.
There was news from Beijing that some people suggested that Goro join the Ministry of Rites and take charge of the Imperial College, and be in charge of the world's cultural education."
Yang Fan was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "In charge of cultural education? Who is the initiative?"
Zhang Changzong smiled and said, "King Liang!"
Yang Fan was stunned again, and Zhang Changzong said suddenly: "The last time he wrote a letter to impeach me because of Wu Yanji's death. I guess he was eager to make up for it because he saw that my favor was not declining. This compliment just didn't want me to cause trouble for him. Haha, a villain who changed his mind to the wind."
"Well..., uh... Liulang said so much, so much!"
Zhang Changzong heard Yang Fan's tone and couldn't help but glance at him. He saw Yang Fan hurriedly covering up a strange look. Zhang Changzong suddenly became suspicious, hurriedly curled his smile, and said unhappily: "Zhang has always regarded Erlang as his confidant. Erlang now has something to say but refuses to speak to Zhang?"
"this……"
Yang Fan looked embarrassed, but seeing Zhang Changzong's eyes were so bright that it was hard to hide, he hesitated and said: "Yang just thinks that King Liang has this initiative. If he really intends to practice with Liu Lang, that would be great. I am afraid... I am afraid that he has ulterior motives......"
Zhang Changzong said suspiciously: "Education is the great way to govern the world, and presiding over the education is like controlling the world. How can such a thing be ulterior motive?"
Yang Fan slowly said: "Education is not a one-day achievement. The saints have become taller in spring and autumn, and they are only afraid... the water far away will not save the nearby fire!"
