After Yunchu listened to Yu Xiurong retelling to him the whole process of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, he said to Yu Xiurong, "God is helping Wu Mei."

Yu Xiurong said, "But she is already a queen, the most noble woman in the world."

Yunchu smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, no one would think that Wu Mei had further ambitions, and no one would believe it, not even Li Zhi.

Speaking of which, everyone in the Li family has been very lucky since Li Yuan, at least when it comes to finding a wife.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was an out-and-out playboy in his early years. He was born into an aristocratic family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and at the age of seven he was granted the title of Duke of Tang.

Because Empress Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu were his aunts, his career flourished.

But the main reason why Li Yuan became the founding emperor of Li Tang was that he had three good sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji.

These sons were all born to Li Yuan's first wife, Queen Dou, who was also very unusual.

She is the daughter of Dou Yi, the governor of Dingzhou and the eldest princess of Xiangyang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When she was young, she was raised in the palace by her uncle, Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, who loved her very much.

She was praised by Emperor Wu of Zhou for admonishing Emperor Wu of Zhou to be close to the Turkish princess whom he married. He thought that although she was young, she had extraordinary insights. Changsun Chi, the brother of the famous general Changsun Sheng at that time, believed that an outstanding woman like Dou must be

He could educate excellent children, so he persuaded Changsun Sheng to marry the young Changsun to the Tang family.

After a rigorous "competition to recruit a bride", Li Yuan was finally "selected" and later became the future Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan's wife Dou Shi married Li Yuan, the husband and wife followed each other, and they loved each other deeply.

Dou grew up in the palace, was familiar with politics, liked reading history books, and was good at calligraphy.

When the young couple had nothing to do, they would write and write in the study. Dou imitated her husband's handwriting, even to the point of imitating the real thing.

Li Yuan of the Dou family had four sons: Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji and a daughter, Princess Pingyang, who married Chai Shao.

Because of these four sons and the first daughter in history to be buried with the honor of Marquis Wu, the scoundrel Li Yuan kicked off the glorious Tang Dynasty.

He has become an unparalleled model for the family.

Since the death of the Dou family, Li Yuan has started his own sex demon mode, but until his death, he only had one queen - Queen Taimu of the Dou family, who was buried in the same tomb after his death.

Fulfilled his wish to live in the same bed and die in the same cave.

When history came to Li Shimin again, when this guy was fifteen years old and had not yet grown a full beard, he was dressed in red, holding a pair of wild geese, and married his younger sister Changsun.

In that era of blind marriage and mute marriage, how many people were as lucky as Li Shimin to know and meet their bride in advance and live like childhood sweethearts?

The bride's eldest son, Sun, is only thirteen years old and is as childish as the groom, Li Shimin.

Two and a half-year-old children are always very easy to get along with.

That was also the year when Li Shimin's mother passed away. When Li Shimin was serving the decoction and never left his side, and was sad late at night, it was this little bride who stayed with him.

Also that year, the young bride's uncle was exiled, and Li Shimin comforted his young wife just as she had accompanied him in the past.

In just over ten years of life, it is inevitable to feel that this year is full of pain of separation, but they are each other's comfort.

When Li Shimin was eighteen years old, he followed his father to Taiyuan, and his sixteen-year-old Changsun went with him.

When Li Shimin decided to gamble his fate, the eldest grandson was by Li Shimin's side and firmly supported his husband in changing his fate.

Li Shimin became the King of Qin at the age of nineteen. In just one year, he not only wanted to become an adult, but also a master.

This kind of rapid growth experience is rare in the world. He will inevitably make many mistakes and feel particularly confused. But there is one person who can understand Li Shimin, and that is Changsun.

Because like Li Shimin, she was a seventeen-year-old girl who went from being the wife of the second son of Duke Tang to Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Zhao, and finally Princess Qin.

From managing a family to managing a palace, and then to the royal family, she did not fall behind Li Shimin and grew up with him.

When Li Shimin was twenty years old, the eighteen-year-old Changsun gave birth to his first child, and they became parents for the first time together.

At the age of twenty-two, Li Shimin was granted the title of General Tiance, a man of great merit. The eldest grandson was only twenty years old. She was not only the mother of her children, but also managed the entire Qin Palace. She also helped her husband deal with the entire harem, becoming Li Shimin.

The smooth agent in the relationship with his father Li Yuan.

At the age of twenty-seven, Li Shimin brazenly launched the Xuanwumen Revolution.

She was twenty-five years old, and all the available people from her mother's family were mobilized. She herself stood by Li Shimin's side and became his most reliable backing.

When Yuchi Gong took three steps in a row to force the emperor to abdicate, Changsun entered the palace as a woman in armor immediately, bloodbathed the Tang emperor's harem, killed all those who were unfavorable to the new emperor, and cut off the harem from the outside world.

The contact gave Li Shimin no worries.

Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and began to manage the government. The Changsun family took charge of the harem, completely decentralized power, and never interfered with the affairs of the court again.

She also used her wife's unique gentleness to comfort Li Shimin when he was angry, and to stabilize him when he lost control.

As long as the Changsun family is here, Li Shimin will definitely do well. He is the Tang Taizong who is good at accepting advice, modest and prudent, and at the same time brave and invincible.

The early death of the eldest grandson was probably the most tragic loss of the Tang Dynasty during that period. After she left, she still thought about this country before leaving.

Changsun is the same as Li Shimin, she has great ambitions and a broad mind.

A close friend in life is enough to comfort Fengchen, and Li Shimin got it.

Zhong Ziqi could understand Yu Boya's harp. After his death, Boya lost his string. After his eldest grandson passed away, Li Shimin also died of love and became a completely ruthless emperor.

Changsun and Li Shimin are not only his wife, but also his partner, his comrade-in-arms, his lover, his relative, and his confidant.

Therefore, after Changsun passed away, Li Shimin gave her the highest and best evaluation a woman could receive - Queen Wende!

There was only one reason why Li Zhi insisted on abolishing Queen Wang - that was because Queen Dou was the one who died after Queen Wang.

In front of Queen Changsun, she is not even a grass chicken.

This was the main reason why Li Zhi insisted on deposing Queen Wang, and it was also the reason why Li Zhi ignored moral integrity and the opposition of the whole court, and would rather offend his uncle, the minister who cared about life, to marry Wu Mei.

He hopes that his love can be as successful as his grandfather and father, and he also hopes that his queen can give him the maximum help like his grandfather and father's queen.

Of course, he hopes that his queen and he are truly one, no matter on which level.

I have to say that at this point, Wu Mei is really Li Zhi's ideal queen. The only trouble is that Wu Mei used too much force.

The emperors of the Li Dynasty liked to pursue perfect love, and the story didn't end until Li Longji completely messed it up.

An emperor of Li Tang without a powerful queen cannot be considered a good emperor. This is a small consensus in the historical research of Li Tang.

Part of the reason why Li Longji encountered such a thing as Yuyang Jigu was because his queen, apart from being able to take a bath and dance the feather dance, was useless and did not play a role in filling in the gaps.

After Yu Xiurong finished listening to Yun Chu's story about the love experiences of the first two emperors of Li Tang, she was very surprised. She took Yun Chu's hand and asked, "Are women important?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's more important than you think."

"So you married me without even thinking because I am a good wife?"

"You damn good wife, the first thing I coveted when I saw you was your beauty. When I see such a beautiful girl like you, who cares whether you can run a household or not?"

Yu Xiurong rolled her eyes and said, "I thought you were just coveting my beauty. Grandma Sun said that entertaining people with sex won't last long. I read a lot of books and asked a lot about how to manage housework, and finally became so perfect."

"

Yun Chu nodded repeatedly. Since this woman thinks so, then let's think so. Humans can be happy for a while.

When Yun Chu was watching the excitement and preparing to watch Li Zhi's jokes, a eunuch rode to Yun's house and said that the emperor had summoned him.

Although he didn't know what the emperor wanted from him, Yun Chu hurriedly rode into the imperial city.

When he met the emperor in the side hall of Taiji Hall, he found that there were many people in the side hall, and one of the people who smiled obscenely at him turned out to be the famous bird thief Li Keshi who he had driven out of Chang'an.

In addition to this bird thief, there were also envoys from the Imperial Beast Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty and several Taoist priests in official uniforms from Si Tianjian.

Seeing these people here, Yun Chu knew immediately that the emperor called him here because of the reason for Wu Mei to worship the phoenix.

This matter has nothing to do with him at all. If the emperor wants to recreate the grand occasion of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, it is very appropriate to find a bird thief. Although Li Keshi is also a powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, he is also Li Jing's biological brother.

, but when it comes to playing with birds, no one in the world can match him.

This guy may not understand human nature, but he is very knowledgeable about birds. Whenever he goes out to hunt, there will be a kite eagle standing on his left arm, and a huge purple-breasted parrot from Longxi standing on his right shoulder. This parrot

He also often speaks out.

Today, this parrot stood obediently on the shoulder of Mr. Li, who is over eighty years old. When he saw Yunchu coming in, he immediately flapped his wings and shouted, "Yunchu the dog thief, Yunchu the dog thief..."

Yun Chu glanced at the parrot. The parrot immediately closed its mouth and pecked Keshi Li a few times on the head, pretending to be nonchalant.

People lose their value when they get old, especially former warriors like Li Keshi. After getting older and not making any contributions to the new emperor, they have almost no room to speak in front of upstarts like Yunchu.

Yun Chu did not let the parrot go just because it shut up. He raised his hand and picked the parrot from Master Li's shoulder and put it in his sleeve.

Li Zhi calmly moved the giant bear's ears, pretending not to notice the small actions among the ministers, and said softly, "Tell me, what's going on when a hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix?"

It is naturally auspicious to see hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and everyone will sing its praises and praise it for a while.

Now the emperor doesn't really believe that this is auspiciousness, so this scene of hundreds of birds gathering is nothing more than a spectacle.

Li Keshi had always wanted to save his bird from Yunchu's sleeve, but unfortunately he was old and frail and fearful, so he did not dare to move forward. When the emperor asked, he quickly said, "It's just a flock of birds."

Just looking for food"

Li Zhi looked at the Taoist officials of Si Tianjian noncommittally and asked, "What, what does the celestial phenomenon say?"

The Si Tianjian official quickly replied, "Ziwei Palace is fine, Tianfu Palace has not changed, (Queen's Palace is Tianfu Palace), only the North Pole has Yinghuo."

Li Zhi then asked the officials of the Animal Control Supervisor, "Can we recreate the great scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix?"

The official of the Animal Control Supervision reported back, "In order to eliminate the insect infestation, the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian cut down all the trees in these two counties and plowed the land, leaving the insect eggs exposed in broad daylight with nowhere to hide."
