In terms of grasping human nature, no one can match Xu Jingzong.
He may not be able to give Li Hong any good ideas to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but he can definitely tell Li Hong what kind of prince is the prince who meets everyone's wishes.
The seriously ill emperor was secretly desolate and trapped in Suochou City. His once smart and wise son was now trapped in a love affair between a man and a woman and could not extricate himself. Although the emperor would be angry at him for not fighting, he would secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The queen who had just made a crazy attack was now ready to slowly digest the fruits of victory. When faced with the prince who had become a prisoner, and was preparing to deal with it carefully, the prince fell into gentleness.
The courtiers who were already frightened suddenly heard about the prince's romantic affairs, and they were not surprised but overjoyed...
In this way, a picture of "Out of the Bath" made the Tang Dynasty, which was full of anxiety, quickly return to peace from chaos.
No matter how you calculate it, the price-performance ratio is extremely impressive.
Yunchu had long, long ago given up the illusion that Prince Li Hong would ascend the throne as emperor early. Therefore, when the emperor was seriously ill, Li Hong acted unhurriedly and did not rush to win over the courtiers or go to court.
Jumping up and down to infiltrate the military.
Still calmly doing what he should do.
Even when Luoyang and Chang'an, the two central places of the Tang Dynasty, were in chaos, they did not participate too much. The only participation they had was because of lack of experience and kindness and unwillingness to force people to death, so they fled back in embarrassment.
.
Fortunately, the chaotic and violent Qianfeng Year has finally passed.
This year name was originally given specifically to enshrine Mount Tai, but it did not bring any good atmosphere to the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, many unpredictable disasters occurred during the more than one year of Qianfeng.
So, when Li Hong asked his father for advice on major and minor matters during the three years of Qianfeng, Li Zhi dismissed the bad title of Qianfeng and personally drafted a new title - General Chapter!
The word "General Chapter" is taken from "Xiaoya·Chejia" in "The Book of Songs".
According to Li Zhi's explanation to his son, the general chapter means to always stay on the right path.
However, this is not consistent with the "Xiaoya·Chejia" that Li Hong had studied. I heard from Taifu Xu Jingzong that this poem is clearly a wedding hymn.
The young poet drove a four-horse float across the plains and over the mountains to marry a beautiful and virtuous lady. Along the way, his heart was swayed, and everything he saw was filled with poems that had the color of wedding celebrations.
Now, my father insists that the governance of the country should be as described in the Book of Songs, using the driving of a vehicle as a metaphor, driving on the right path, stability and tranquility, and achieving the prosperity and governance of the country.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Since it was said by my own emperor father, it must be right.
Therefore, in the first year of the General Chapter, Li Hong began to supervise the country. However, what was annoying was that there was a curtain behind his seat, and behind the curtain sat his mother.
However, Li Hong did not show any disgust. On the contrary, when he went to court, he would take the initiative to ask his mother's opinion behind the curtain when he encountered important decisions, even if his mother did not speak.
This decree will not be implemented until the mother and son discuss a result.
For now, Li Hong relies on his mother's opinion most of the time.
Only when a minister needed to be executed did Li Hong speak out to refute him. Recently, the mother and son had a dispute over the fact that the governor of Weizhou, Li Xiaoxie, the Duke of Xun, took bribes and was sentenced to death.
What Li Hong meant was that he would be dismissed from office, seize the title, and be demoted to a common people.
The meaning of Wu Mei is that you cannot be close to others and harm the people, even if you are the crown prince, you will not be forgiven.
Li Hong naturally did not want his mother to take advantage of this dispute and turn the crown prince into a minister, and then be bound by the law. The mother and son had a fierce argument in the court. In the end, Prime Minister Pei Xingjian gave a compromise.
Suddenly, Li Xiaoxie committed a crime, and the imperial court ordered the death of Li Xiaoxie's eldest son, Li Dengyunding. Li Xiaoxie was dismissed from office, seized the title, and was demoted to a commoner...
When the matter was reported to Li Zhi, he marked the memorial with a big word "Stupid" and said nothing else.
Immediately, this decree was issued to the Ministry of Punishment, and then the Ministry of Punishment sent officials to Weizhou, killed Li Xiaoxie's eldest son, and then dismissed Li Xiaoxie from office and demoted him to a commoner. The Ministry of Punishment also ransacked the home of Duke Li Xiaoxie
.
After all, living in a royal residence and living in fine clothes and food all day long does not look like a commoner.
The courtiers all knew that it was wrong to do so, but in the case of multiple orders, it was acceptable to have such a result. As Li Zhi believed, the purpose of punishment was achieved after stupidity returned to stupidity.
With the matter settled, the dispute between Li Hong and Wu Mei came to an end.
Li Si carried a bunch of bottles and cans into Prince Li Hong's study. She first glanced at the "Picture of Leaving the Bath" hanging directly opposite the desk, rolled her eyes at Naha in the picture, and then looked at
The prince sitting behind the table said: "Your study needs to be dewormed!"
Li Hong glanced at the clean and tidy study and said, "Isn't it necessary?"
Li Sidao: "The Waking of Insects is coming soon. When the thunder starts, the poisonous insects will end their hibernation. People who want to harm you may use these things, so it is imperative to eliminate pests and prevent them."
"
Li Hong looked at Li Sid suspiciously and said, "Why do I think you are deliberately torturing me? Oh, Naha in the painting is prettier than you and Yun Jin, you haven't grown up yet.
Besides, whether you look good or not has nothing to do with me, it only has to do with Yun Jin.
Otherwise, why don't you go to the palace to get rid of the insects first? I still have a lot of memorials here that I haven't reviewed yet."
Li Si shook his head and said, "I only protect you, not others."
Li Hongdao: "I will also go to the bedroom?"
Li Si smiled and said: "Since you came back, how many times have you been to the palace? Every time you go to see your son, you don't stay overnight at all. The way the Crown Princess looks at you makes you wet, have you ever looked at her?
?”
Li Hong lowered his face and scolded: "Shut up, is this what you can say?"
Li Sidao: "The Crown Princess sees me as if she's seeing a snake or scorpion. If I go to the palace to get rid of insects, she won't be allowed to come to the study to sleep with you?"
Li Hong was very annoyed, so he motioned to Li Si to do whatever he wanted.
Under the supervision of the eunuch, a group of palace servants listened to Li Si's instructions and inspected every corner of the study. They also mixed some powder with water and applied it to the windows, doorways, and corners.
Finally, Li Si hung two sachets on the bookshelf in the study, and then left with the others.
When Li Hong came back, he didn't feel any changes in the study. It wasn't until Li Si brought a few poisonous spiders and placed them in the window. The poisonous spiders not only didn't come in, but ran away crazily, Li Hong finally believed it.
Li Si’s craftsmanship.
"When spring and summer really come, you will be able to see my true capabilities. By then, you won't be able to see even a mosquito or fly in your garden."
Li Hong snorted and said: "By then, the bees, butterflies, and earthworms in the ground will be gone. You can manage the garden as you wish. If you dare to damage my seed garden, I will never end it for you."
Li Sidao: "Are potatoes and corn ready to be planted?"
Li Hong nodded and said, "If Master values so much, I will naturally take it seriously."
Li Sidao: "Master said, you don't actually need to compete with others for power and profit in this life. As long as you cultivate these two things with peace of mind, you will definitely have a share in the emperor through the ages, and maybe you can be on par with the Shennong family."
Li Hong said proudly: "Yes, this is my heritage and the reason why I can wait patiently and calmly."
Li Si brushed his hair, which was only three inches long, and felt that Li Hong, with an old man on his left and an old man on his right, didn't look like a prince, like those veteran generals in Chang'an City who used vulgar words.
Li Hong grabbed Li Si and checked her hair. He felt that his role as a nun was not in vain. His hair, which was not very good before, became dark and dense after this accident.
It's a pity that I can't take Li Si to see his father and mother. The two of them saw Li Si's appearance as a nun once, and they were almost pissed to death.
Today we can't go even more because it took the Wu brothers a full month to finally return to Luoyang.
Li Hong saw these brothers when he came back from his mother's place. They were so miserable!
Princess Taiping was wearing a pair of small clogs and was walking around in the smooth mirror-like hall. The material for making the clogs is said to be a kind of wood called "Xiangmu". This kind of wood is a good wood for making guqin. It only needs a slight touch.
Once it does, it will make a loud and melodious sound.
There were singers in Shangyang Palace who wore these shoes to dance. They could dance and play music at the same time without the accompaniment of musicians.
Princess Taiping was young and naturally did not have this ability, so when she walked around in the hall, it was a serious torture to Wu Mei.
It's strange to say that Wu Mei would never tolerate Li Hong, Li Si, Li Xian, and Li Dan being presumptuous in front of her, but she doted on Princess Taiping completely. Even if she was a star in the sky, if Taiping wanted it, Wu Mei would
Mei will definitely let people pick it off and give it to Taiping.
The Wu brothers were brought in by the eunuchs, and now they were placed on the floor of the main hall. Aunt Chun poked the eunuch's whisk a few times to make sure that the two guys were still alive, and then said to the queen: "Queen,
The two Marquis Wu are here to meet you."
Wu Mei put down the memorial in her hand and came to the front hall. When she saw Taiping squatting on the ground and looking at the Wu brothers who were wrapped like rice dumplings, she asked Aunt Chun to take Taiping away first.
Wu Mei looked down at the Wu brothers and said, "I didn't expect that you could do such a clever thing in Chang'an. This is really beyond my expectation."
Wu San thought: "This is what a minister should do."
Wu Mei nodded and said, "If your hard work is rewarded this time, you will naturally be rewarded. You go back to recuperate. The jewels, jade, silk and silk will be sent to your house later."
Wu Chengsi struggled and said: "Queen Qi, all the injuries on the ministers' bodies are due to Yun Chu. Yun Chu is so arrogant and domineering, and he still asks the queen to make decisions for the ministers and others."
Wu Mei looked at the Wu brothers with a half-smile but not a smile and said, "Yun Chu also sent me a memorial to this palace. What do you think he said in his memorial?"
Wu Chengsi shook his head.
Wu Mei said: "Yun Chuke said, every time I think about my being bullied by your Wu clan members in Duke Zhou's Mansion, I get very angry. I plan to beat your brothers every time I see them in the future to vent my anger..."
