Chapter 838 Chapter 838(1/2)
The prosperous Tang Dynasty (90)
In the past three years, Lin Yutong has also been very gentle. She seems to be really obedient and has really given birth to a child.
The second year after being induced, she was pregnant with another baby! Not surprisingly, she planned to have another baby when Zesheng was four or five years old. This baby was pregnant with twins and gave birth to twins. Li Jingye named it: Ansheng, Taisheng.
In this generation, Duke of England finally had three children. Li Jingye had nothing to do. He really hoped that life would be as peaceful as it is now, and that would be the best if he could continue like this.
Yes! Who doesn’t want to live a peaceful life? But in the past two years, Tongtong seems to have smelled the breath of great change.
First, Zhang Wenguan died, and then Dai Zhide died. Such an important minister and prime minister died of illness was a major loss to the court. These are all figures who maintain the foundation of the rule of Li Tang. The fall of any one is a compression of power for Li Zhi. If you promote it, it is better to be loyal to the Taizong Dynasty.
Next comes Tian Renhui, who is an old minister in the martial arts period, and he left eighty-seven!
This means that there are fewer and fewer old ministers.
Old people like Mr. Xu who were specially pardoned by Li Zhi were gone! It seems that they are not very famous in history, but Li Zhi can feel at ease because there are such ministers everywhere. Of course, Lin Yutong knew about this person! One of his granddaughters married Li Bai, and Li Bai's first wife, Xu, is the man's granddaughter.
The death of these people was called Li Zhi indulged in Taoism and searching for Taoist immortals everywhere. But the pace of death was still approaching step by step. Hao Chujun, the person who once accused Li Zhi of not thinking about passing the throne to Empress Wu but not his descendants, also died of illness.
Before Li Zhi could come to his senses, even greater bad news came, "Pei Xingjian, Duke Pei, died!"
What?
Liu Ren's tears came down, "Mr. Pei, died."
Li Zhi covered his chest and gasped.
Lin Yutong was also stunned when she received the news, "Is Pei Xingjian gone?"
Yes! Mr. Pei is gone.
Lin Yutong was very sorry. She and Pei Xingjian had an unhappy relationship with Anxi affairs! But even if Pei Xingjian had selfish intentions, he did impeach his family. However, judging from Pei Xingjian's lifelong achievements, he had outstanding achievements to the Tang Dynasty and loyal to the king.
Such a loyal minister was able to go to the Turks last year and returned with great victory, but now he has disappeared.
The Fourth Master hurried back from outside, "changing his simple clothes and taking Zesheng with him."
Tongtong asked someone, "I'll ask the prince to change his clothes and come here, and I have to go to Pei's mansion."
Pei Mansion?
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, "Who is gone from the Pei family?"
The Fourth Master of Love doesn’t know that Pei Xingjian is gone, so who are you talking about?
The Fourth Master said, "Li Jingxuan is gone?"
Did Li Jingxuan? He has been with Li Zhi for thirty years! He was defeated and dismissed from office, but now he is gone.
Okay! Let's go.
The funeral here has not been completed, and the little boy on Nanshan went down the mountain with red eyes, "Senior sister, go up the mountain, the master is about to ascend."
ah?
Sun Simiao was called an old god, and he has always been an old god. At such an age, he ran around the mountains all day long and never looked old. Therefore, he ignored it. He would die when he was old.
When Lin Yutong arrived, Sun Simiao's face was filled with sweat! Suddenly, an old lady seemed to flash in front of Tongtong's eyes, and there was also such sweat on her face. The scene flashed by, and she didn't have time to think about it anymore. She went over and took the old immortal's hand, "Master, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have today."
"But without you, I wouldn't be able to stay in Nanshan so peacefully." With the saint's intention to seek Taoism, I was afraid that I would have escaped into some kind of forest, and I dared not let anyone know about life and death. It was this disciple, even the saint, who did not make any difficulties. In the last few years, I could spend my old age in Nanshan peacefully, and have a good beginning and a good end. What else would I be satisfied with? He pointed to his face and handed over his arm, "Your Highness takes a pulse, look at my face again, remember! Such a pulse is difficult to find, and such a face is even more difficult to find... This is the appearance of no illness or disaster, people will naturally grow old, and naturally die! Doctors are irreversible."
Lin Yutong nodded constantly, "I remember, my disciple! I remember."
Just remember it! Just remember it!
I smiled and said a few words without finishing my sentence, without any extra advice, so I lost it.
No one knows how old the old immortal is! No matter how legend is, it is finally heading towards the end of life.
The Fourth Master and Tongtong came forward to handle the funeral of the old immortal! What can a monk do when the funeral is done? They all completed the funeral according to the rules of the Taoist sect.
The boy back then was like a fairy growing up, guarding this small Taoist temple, with a little boy he picked up by his side. He looked at His Highness who was standing in front of his master for a long time and comforted him: "Go back! I won't go anywhere, just guard here. If you miss your master, come back and see..." Yes! Life will eventually be separated.
Lin Yutong looked at the forest and asked Tonger, "It's too dry on the mountain, and the springs are gone."
yes!
Lin Yutong said, "Go back to clean up and go down the mountain first! Look at this, this year is probably a disaster year! This drought makes it difficult to stay on the mountain."
Now it's still done, I'll go again when there's really nothing I can do.
Good too!
She went down from the mountain to see that the land was dry and cracked, the seedlings had yellow leaves, and the drought had already revealed signs. She had to go to the palace and transport food from the eastern capital to provide disaster relief.
When Tongtong's sign was handed into the palace, Li Zhizheng was uncomfortable.
The fall of civil officials and military generals in the Tang Dynasty was called Li Zhi had a vague ominous premonition, which was particularly strong. It was just but had nowhere to resolve!
As a result, Tong'er entered the palace.
Now it's not a few years ago, and Tong'er always comes every few years ago, and it may not be a problem! She comes to see if she has something to do or not. Since Xian'er's affairs, Tong'er has become cold. Whenever she enters the palace, either she thinks that there is something big and needs to enter the palace, or if there is something big in the court, she needs to enter the palace.
The former is that she took the initiative to enter the palace; the latter is that she must enter the palace.
Now that she has come on her own initiative, there must be something big.
"Please!"
Lin Yutong came in. Li Zhi could see a vague shadow, but when he saw the shadow, he knew it was her. There were only three women who could approach her now. One was the queen, and she was surrounded by her and had a great show when she came. The other was Taiping, and she could hear the sound of Huanpeng, which was extremely lively as soon as she came. The other was Tong'er, who had no show or dressed up as a wealthy person, but as soon as she came in, she began to hold her breath inside and out, and only her calm footsteps were left in the hall.
Have met my father.
"Tong'er, come! Come to Aye."
Lin Yutong got up and sat over, saying bluntly, "I have to ask my mother to come back later. My son has important things."
Li Zhi said to Liu Ren, "Send someone to invite the queen."
After the person was sent away, Li Zhicai said, "Master Sun has gone?"
yes!
"Sorry!" Li Zhi sighed, "I think I can truly become an immortal after achieving Taoism, but it is obvious that Taoism is Taoism, and immortality is an immortal. This is not the same thing. Many ministers in the court passed away one after another, and I felt very sad. Suddenly, I felt that God would not help me."
What can Lin Yutong say?
She could only say: "Whenever there is an abnormal climate, most elderly or weak people will find it difficult to survive. This is a normal thing."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Is there any abnormal climate?"
"What's the abnormality?"
Before Lin Yutong could speak, Wu came back and heard a question after hearing this.
"Mother Da'an." Lin Yutong stood up to greet her. Empress Wu took her to sit down, "How did you enter the palace in such a hot day? It would be great to enter the palace when the weather was getting cooler. By the way, bring all the children. Your father and I haven't seen each other for some days."
Lin Yutong followed her and said, "Because of something, I was anxious and never took them."
"What the hell is it? It's so serious? I can't wait for half a day? The climate is different, but it's because of drought?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "Yes! It's just that drought has occurred."
Empress Wu said, "In recent years, the water trucks proposed by the British Commission have been laid many times. Do you think they are not enough to deal with this drought?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "This drought in Gyeonggi Province is more severe than the drought when the emperor was responsible for the country. Therefore, the son of the son went to the palace to report the matter! While the river has not yet stopped flowing, quickly allocate disaster relief food from the Dongdu to deal with this disaster."
As soon as these words were finished, Empress Wu grabbed the handle of the fan tightly, and she had been trying to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang, the eastern capital. She mentioned it three times, but the saint refused! But this time, it was God's help, and this was a great opportunity!
Therefore, she immediately said: "What Zhenguo said is very good. At this time, we can allocate food and prepare for any trouble. We can send an order, allocate food and prepare for disaster relief. This news must be spread, so that the people can feel at ease and know that the court has a solution to it."
Li Zhi nodded, "Yes!"
Immediately write a memorial and use a seal, and just pass it on and ask someone to do it.
When things were done, Lin Yutong stood up, "I won't keep many ministers there."
Empress Wu raised her hand and pressed her down, "Don't worry, I have something to report to the saint."
Lin Yutong was not able to leave, so she sat back and heard Empress Wu say, "Sage, I have to listen to you this time, and move to Dongdu." Lin Yutong was stunned and looked at Empress Wu in surprise. She really knows how to seize opportunities!
Luoyang is the base camp of Empress Wu, and Li Zhi has always been reluctant to go there. But he was helpless, isn’t this a coincidence with the natural disaster in Chang’an?
The natural disaster is very serious, what does this mean? I thought that the price of grain would not rise ten times better.
Chang'an has a complete organization of the Tang Dynasty, with low-level officials accounting for the majority. There are also various armies guarding the royal family, with a huge number of people! If a grain shortage occurs, there is no shortage of royal food and no shortage of aristocratic families. But what should I do if these 80% of the low-level officials in the court? What should I do if such a large number of people in the army want to eat?
Due to severe drought, the water levels of the Yellow River and Wei River will become lower and lower, which means that water transportation cannot afford so many people!
Instead of asking the government team to eat the food and the army to serve as food and pay, we might as well leave! Then the food pressure will be reduced sharply, which is beneficial for disaster relief.
Especially the army, where the royal family is, this requires a large amount of guarding. If the royal family is not there, some people will ensure that Chang'an will not be in chaos, which is enough.
With limited transportation capacity and limited food, we will leave, which will reduce the burden on Chang'an.
Lin Yutong sighed in her heart, it was really the right time, place, and people, and she took over the whole thing! Empress Wu’s proposal was selfish, but from the perspective of disaster relief, Empress Wu’s arrangement was appropriate.
From the moment, the disaster has come here, so this is appropriate.
From the perspective of geographical location, Luoyang is well-connected and is also a capital. The arrival of the saint will not waste the people and the money.
From a human perspective, it is absolutely beneficial to Empress Wu.
It was not that Li Zhi didn't understand the plan of Empress Wu, but considering the disaster, even if the other party had selfish intentions, this decision would have to be made.
To be continued...
