Which Son of Heaven doesn't want to live and work in peace and contentment under his rule Wu Zetian was very happy to hear Yang Fan's words, but when Yang Fan finished speaking, she still smiled at Yang Fan and said, "You, you only choose good words to coax me."
It's just a side, the mountains and rivers in Yanzhou are poor, and there are droughts every year, if the people can have food and clothing, they will be content, and the wealth and prosperity can not be related to there. ” Yang Fan's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly defended: "In front of the saint, the minister has one thing to say and two things to say, how dare he deceive."
The wealth of Yanzhou, is the minister's family to see with their own eyes, the place is full of rain, the hometown of the minister's family is in Yanzhou, left his hometown when he was young, and now there are still a few relatives in his hometown, where there is a bumper harvest every year, it is his relatives and friends who say it personally, look at their family background, life is really good, and there can be fake. ” Wu Zetian sighed softly and said, "Then maybe I am mistaken." ” Her face was cloudy, and she was obviously a little insincere.
The relief food in Yanzhou was distributed by her, how could she remember the wrong place In fact, the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were in the third warm period in Chinese history, with abundant rain, a warm climate, and vegetation in the north and northwest regions was far less serious than the destruction in later generations, so it was very suitable for farming.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty vigorously built water conservancy, the people invented a variety of new farming tools, crop varieties with the increasing exchanges between China and the West, and the imperial court policy also vigorously tilted towards agriculture, so that the north and northwest regions have become important grain production areas.
It was not until after the Middle Tang Dynasty that the weather became colder, the living environment of the northern nomadic areas became worse, and the Central Plains Empire also went through a period of vigorous development, and the national strength began to weaken.
As a result, many areas that had become important grain producing areas during the Sui and Tang dynasties were degraded by wars and nomadic occupations, and this continued for many years.
This is not the case now, and many areas that were desolate and barren in the eyes of later generations are now "small Guanzhong".
However, this situation is not clear to Wu Zetian.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks invaded the east, and the Yanzhou area began to become sparsely populated and impoverished.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after many years of lying on the salary and trying to taste courage, it was not until the Turkic civil strife and the split of the Eastern and Western Turks that the imperial court seized the opportunity to defeat the Turks and regain control of this region.
After years of population reproduction, the Yanzhou area gradually recovered.
And a long time ago, Wu Zetian entered the palace, when she was only fourteen years old, and lived in the palace for many years, and when she took power, the Yanzhou area became an agricultural developed area again.
But if the magistrate deliberately concealed these things, how could Wu Zetian, who lived in the deep palace, know It was originally very easy to listen to Yang Fan talk about some parents' shortcomings, but the last sentence was like a thorn in Wu Zetian's heart.
Wu Zetian had no intention of taking a walk, she immediately turned back to the palace, summoned Wan'er, and asked her to sort out the file and read all the Yanzhou chapters.
Wan'er had already picked out the recitals about Yanzhou, but she couldn't send them to the emperor immediately, so Wan'er went back and waited for more than an hour before returning to the emperor's dormitory with a stack of recitals.
Wu Zetian flipped through the chapters one by one, and his face became more and more gloomy.
She would rather believe that what was said in the music was true, and Yang Fan's family was just talking nonsense, deliberately pasting gold on their hometown.
But if this is true, it makes people shudder to think about it.
The Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the four seas, but it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to travel all over the mountains and rivers, take care of every piece of her territory, the huge rivers and mountains, and entrust her courtiers to give her pastoral care, this era of inconvenient transportation and poor information, if the courtiers have the intention to hide from her, then she will not become a deaf, blind, a puppet at the mercy of others She didn't dare to think about this consequence.
She was already suspicious, and the consequences of this matter were so serious, how could she be vague and ponder for a long time, Wu Zetian said slowly: "Go, summon the household department and the imperial history platform" Before Wu Zetian finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Wan'er: "You tell me about the situation of this Yanzhou assassination." ” For the important governors of the Manchu Dynasty and the state capital, Shangguan Wan'er is familiar with their life history and political relations, and it is like a moving archive.
Because she can memorize the intricate political relations between these officials, she can get the right pulse, and she can put forward the most appropriate handling opinions every time she does not wait for the Son of Heaven to speak.
Shangguan Wan'er's position as a woman has been unshaken for so many years, how can it be easy to match.
Wu Zetian closed his eyes slightly, Zhang Changzong gently massaged her head behind her back, listening to Shangguan Wan'er's narration, Shangguan Wan'er had just said half of it, Wu Zetian opened his eyes and said in surprise: "This person is recommended by the heir."
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her beautiful eyes lightly and said in a low voice: "Yes" Wu Zetian's eyes flashed and said: "This person has been in Yanzhou for nine years, how come the heir has never thought of moving him?"
Wu Zetian knew that Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi's two nephews had wantonly installed cronies as officials in order to fight for power, but both of them liked to install their cronies in the court or the army, and put them in a remote state capital and ignored them, which was strange.
Shangguan Wan'er wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Zetian saw it in her eyes, and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ” Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "It's this Xie Yubin, who was originally the lieutenant of Ningyuan County, Zhenzhou, and took great care of King Wei."
Wu Zetian suddenly realized that after she took power, she exiled several cousins to the border wasteland, among which her cousin Wu Yuanshuang's family was exiled to Zhenzhou Ningyuan and now Sanya, Hainan.
Wu Chengsi is the son of Wu Yuanshuang, and he was also in Ningyuan at the time, presumably this Xie Yubin, who was the county lieutenant in Ningyuan at that time, took care of the Wu father and son, so Wu Chengsi reciprocated.
Wu Zetian slowly leaned back in the chair, Zhang Changzong's snow-white and soft hands gently rested on her head, and continued to massage, Wu Zetian closed his eyes and said quietly: "Go on" "Yes" Shangguan Wan'er continued to introduce the situation of Xie Tingshi, and judging from his resume, it really coincided with the time of Wu Chenghe's rise.
The time was also about ten years ago, when she was ready to kick out the puppet son, ascend the throne as emperor herself, and start to use the Wu clan people in a big way.
At that time, Wu Chengsi had just held great power and became an upstart in the imperial court, Xie County Lieutenant was immediately transferred from the distant Zhenzhou Ningyuan to the capital, and Luoyang Wei, who had been in less than a year, was transferred to Dali Temple, and was promoted to the secretary in Dali Temple after only one year of hard work, and then Wu Zetian ascended the throne as the emperor and was a great hero, and this Xie Yubin was listed as a meritorious hero by Wu Chengsi and appointed as the assassin of Yanzhou.
This person has never moved since he arrived in Yanzhou, and Wu Zetian has also guessed three or five points.
Zhenzhou is poor and bad, located in a remote wilderness, in a culturally and educationally developed area, students who are full of poetry and books may not be able to pass the examination for a show, but in a place like Zhenzhou, the words can be written without mistakes, and the text can be written in a little orderly, and they can become a showman, and the quality of the county lieutenant in this kind of place can be high Wu Chenghe's promotion of him to an official is probably just to repay his kindness, and he didn't expect to train him into a powerful henchman.
Or when he was allowed to enter Luoyang Mansion and Dali Temple before, it was a process of investigation and cultivation, but during this period, this person's performance was mediocre, so he was sent away and returned this kindness.
After Shangguan Wan'er finished reporting, the hall suddenly quieted down, and after a while, Zhang Yizhi coughed lightly, Wu Zetian closed his eyes and did not open them, and asked indifferently: "Wulang has something to say" Zhang Yizhi said in a slow voice: "Sage, if this case is true, it is that the whole of Yanzhou worked together to deceive the saint, and it is really appalling."
And this Yanzhou assassin is the old man of King Wei, and there is no contact between the two, but I am afraid that it may not be.
Moreover, the person was recommended by King Wei, and if something happened to this person, King Wei's face would be ugly.
In case the king of Wei was confused for a while, and reported to him, the minister thought that this case must be investigated, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better, if the criminal department or the imperial history platform sent people, I was afraid that before the people left Beijing, the rumors would leak out. ” Wu Zetian snorted and said, "Wulang has a suitable candidate."
Zhang Changzong hurriedly said: "Saint, Changzong is willing to share the worries of the saint" "You" Wu Zetian opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Changzong in surprise.
In her eyes, Zhang Changzong is not only her little lover, but also vaguely has some feelings of elders who spoil their juniors, but he has never regarded him as a minister who can be in charge alone, although he is now an official worshipping Fengchencheng.
Zhang Changzong saw that Wu Zetian was a little funny, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said with a red face and a rough neck: "Sage, Changzong will definitely be able to handle this mission well."
Wu Zetian patted the back of his palm and said with a smile: "I naturally believe in your ability, but you should stay in the palace to accompany me, you are not a good messenger, how can I be willing to let you work hard." ” Zhang Changzong said angrily: "The sage obviously doesn't believe in Changzong's ability."
Wu Zetian's face sank slightly, and Zhang Yizhi hurriedly said: "Liulang is young and ignorant, and the saint is not strange."
Speaking of which, Changzong has never left Luoyang Baili, no wonder he is looking forward to going out for a walk.

In the opinion of the minister, it is better to choose a sincere and serious person to be responsible for this case.
As for Rokuro, tell him to follow him and relax, if he really learns some skills, he will be able to share the worries of the saint in the future."
Wu Zetian's face was slightly pale, and he bowed his head slightly: "Wulang is reasonable.
You have the right person."
Zhang Yizhi smiled and said: "Presumably the sage has already thought of it, since he is more vantage, the minister will say that this case was caused by a gossip by Yang Fan, Yang Fan is a sage You trust the courtier, and there is no harmony with the King of Wei, so there is no fear of the power to protect the corrupt officials."
The saint once praised him for his courage and resourcefulness, but if he were to go, wouldn't he be the best candidate?"
Wu Zetian nodded happily and said to Zhang Changzong, who was still puffing up: "Okay, don't be angry with Liulang, I will appoint you as a messenger, and Yang Fan will be the deputy, and we will go to Yanzhou to handle the case."
Along the way, you have to listen more and talk less, study carefully, you can travel in the mountains and rivers, and when investigating the case, you can't point fingers at Yang Fan."
When Zhang Changzong heard that he was allowed to be a messenger, he was pleasantly surprised at first, and then he couldn't help but get angry: "Speaking of which, it's not that he is treated as a child." : Sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets To be continued
