Li Si watched Taiping hugging her legs, lowered his head and looked at Taiping's big black eyes for a while, and finally hugged Taiping, buried his head on Taiping's neck, inhaled hard, and
Taiping couldn't stop giggling.
After a while, Li Si raised his head and looked at Wu Mei and said, "You have never hugged me, and I have never been contaminated by your breath."
Faced with Li Si's accusation, Wu Mei lazily leaned on the brocade and said to Li Si: "Your father clearly has a gorgeous palace, but why do you entertain guests in a place like the military training ground?"
Li Si frowned and said, "Because they don't deserve it."
Wu Mei waved her hands with a smile and said: "Look, this is what you thought wrong. Although the teaching military field is simple, it is a place for national grand ceremonies. Although the palace is gorgeous, it is just a place for showing favors."
Li Si pulled away Taiping's hand that grabbed her hair and said to Wu Mei, "Can I understand that Yun's simple mansion is just like a military training ground, while the palace is just a featureless building to me?
Palace?"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Stop your ambition as soon as possible. Compared with the other princesses of the Tang Dynasty, what you have gotten is far more than what you deserve.
Dare to point to a boy who has just had his teeth replaced in front of your father and say, "This is your future husband, and you are the only one in the world. This is already the greatest honor for a royal daughter."
As for the suffering you have suffered in Yun’s family these years, you probably don’t believe it yourself, right?”
Li Si restrained Taiping's belly, sat on a brocade pier, untied a bunch of golden bells from his wrists and tied them to Taiping's wrists.
Then, he put the drooling child on the carpet and said to Wu Mei again: "I just want more, what's wrong with this."
Wu Mei sat up and looked into Li Si's eyes and said, "Having insatiable desires is not a good thing."
Li Si shook his head and said: "Your Majesty once told me that bravery and diligence are the characteristics of a royal daughter."
Wu Mei frowned and said, "Yun Chu taught you this too?"
Li Si shook his head and said: "Master said that the beauty of a great woman lies in benevolence, kindness, conduct, thinking, learning, and self-correction, and then, with her fragrant hands, she bestows blessings on the world."
Wu Mei's brows furrowed even more tightly, and she said in a calm voice, "One is greedy, the other is upright, and you chose Li Ji's military rudeness?"
Li Sidao: "Master is always unhappy when doing things. He thinks too much about others. He is not as smart as the British Duke's teachings. He is like an avalanche rolling down a mountain, plummeting thousands of miles."
After listening to Li Si's words, Wu Mei thought for a moment and then turned to look at Li Hongdao: "So, it's the same reason that you have gradually abandoned Yun Chu's teachings over the years and turned to learn the art of vertical and horizontal movements from Xu Jingzong?"
Li Hong said with a smile: "My mother has seen thousands of miles, and the knowledge taught by my master can be the foundation of the world's knowledge. It is a kind of Tao, but it is too soft and lacks sharpness. It is the knowledge of being a minister, not the art of dragons to control the world."
Li Xian sarcastically said: "Skill is greater than Tao?"
Li Hong glanced at Li Xiandao and said, "The journey of the great road begins at your feet. Walking alternately forward and backward is the art. Since the great road is already at Gu's feet, as long as the walking technique is correct, you can reach the goal faster and more steadily."
"
Li Hong explained as he walked. When he finished speaking, he happened to come to Li Xian. He raised his hand and struck Li Xian on the face. Li Xian raised his hand to block, but Li Hong raised his leg and kicked
He kicked Li Xian until he fell to the ground.
Then he said to Li Xian: "Stay away from He Lanmin from now on."
Li Xian looked at Wu Mei sadly and angrily, always thinking that as a mother, she would definitely scold Li Hong for his rude behavior. As a result, he found that Wu Mei turned a blind eye to his humiliation, and instead looked at Li Xian with a look of love on her face.
The two brothers, Li Dan, also waved for them to come over and gather in her arms. Together with Taiping, who was already in her arms, her arms were full and could not accommodate others.
"You three have grown up, and it's time to live your own life. From now on, I only love these three in my arms."
Li Hong smiled brightly, walked over and touched the faces of Li Xian, Li Dan and Taiping and said, "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right."
Li Si also wanted to be like Li Hong, but before he got close, he heard Wu Mei say: "Your brother is a real dragon, who are you? A dog?"
Li Si jumped on his feet and said, "I should at least be a tiger."
Wu Mei sneered and said, "It's just the Yun family's guard dog."
Li Si roared: "I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family. From now on, I can make all decisions about the Yun family."
Wu Mei laughed and said to Li Hong: "Did you hear what she said clearly? As an unmarried woman, when she talked about her marriage, she not only had no intention of avoiding suspicion, but instead said that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family. This is what she said.
Is that what a princess should say?”
Hearing this, Li Si chuckled and said, "That's it."
Wu Mei said: "If I don't agree, you may not be able to fulfill your wish."
Li Sidao: "My heart is so fragile that I can't change it."
Wu Mei was furious, pointed at the door and said, "Get out!"
After that, he hugged Taiping and went straight to the back hall.
Seeing Li Zhi leaning on the brocade and eating melon with the panda, Wu Mei said angrily: "Did you hear everything?"
Li Zhi stuffed the melon rind into the giant bear's mouth and said, "I only heard one sentence."
Wu Mei's eyes narrowed and she asked: "Which sentence?"
"I am the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Yun family. From now on, I can make all decisions regarding the Yun family.
I have been thinking about how to continue to get along with Yunshi peacefully, but I have never thought of a suitable way.
Just when I was feeling desperate, Sisi's words gave me a new idea.
Yun Chu's merits were in the country, and his benefits were in the future. The birth of such a figure into our Tang Dynasty is the greatest auspiciousness of the Tang Dynasty.
Cutting off auspiciousness for no reason is a sign of the decline of the family and the country. Now, Li Si has the idea of marrying into the Yun family. It cannot be said that it was the blessing of his ancestors that made you hand Sisi to Sun Daochang, which finally led to this
A good marriage."
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Yun Chu is too cheap."
Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "You are willing to let such a talented and beautiful person as Yun Chu fail?
Don’t you want to see what unexpected things he can do in the future?”
Wu Mei said: "That is still the Yun family."
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei and said, "You have lived in poverty since you were a child, so you cannot see things from a royal perspective.
This world is not actually ours, but belongs to Li Tang, and Li is the center of the world.
Sisi married into the Yun family. Half of the Yun family’s bloodline will belong to my Li family. As long as the Yun family can still maintain prosperity, the royal family can continue to marry princesses. After a few generations, there will be no Yun family in the world.
Even if there is, it is just a side detail."
Wu Mei pondered for a moment, placed Taiping on the belly of the giant bear, squinted her eyes and said, "Just like how your Majesty dealt with the disobedient people in Shandong and Hebei this time?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Shandong and Hebei have been in poverty for a long time. I think the time has come and I can return to my heart with a little favor."
Wu Mei said worriedly: "I don't think so. Shandong and Hebei have hated the Tang Dynasty for a long time. How can they join us for a little favor?"
Li Zhi pinched the giant bear's paw and said slowly: "You don't understand, you don't understand. Extreme poverty is a poison. It can eliminate people's willpower and all good emotions, and make people no longer feel good."
Generosity will then make them mean and stingy. Men will betray their brothers for a bite to eat, and women will betray their husbands for a beautiful dress.
Because of a little property, they can turn brothers against each other and father and son can kill each other.
Above all, through the squeeze of poverty, those who are weak-willed become despicable.
At this time, as long as I show some goodwill to people other than those wealthy families, I can transfer those people's hatred towards the imperial court to these wealthy families.
In order to achieve this goal, I have been working for six years and even tolerated their misbehavior in Chang'an and Luoyang.
Soon after, the government will encourage the people to ask for what they should get from those wealthy families, and eventually a trend will form.
Once this trend arises, I will only be the final mediator. When the hands of the common people are stained with the blood of the rich and powerful, they will be more worried than us about the rise of the rich and powerful again..."
Wu Mei looked at the peaceful Li Zhi and felt chills in her heart.
She has always understood that those who are truly beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are always the middle and upper households, and they are definitely not wealthy families. Those who own a lot of land and wealth are the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Deadly enemy.
Judging from the emperor's actions this time, this eastward tour is not about the life of a certain family or a certain big house, but the lives of all the rich and powerful families, and then the wealth accumulated by the rich and powerful families for hundreds of thousands of years is scattered.
Enter the people and then achieve the goal of winning people's hearts.
"Therefore, during this eastward tour, I will not allow any mistakes on the part of the imperial court. We must maintain absolute peace and do not let anyone realize that we are the ones behind this bloody incident..."
Wu Mei bowed to the ground and said sincerely: "No wiser than the Holy One."
Li Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yun Chu can always create some good sentences that make me laugh."
Yun Chu sat by the fire. The desolation brought to him by the two unlucky royals, Li Shen and Li Ming, had been dried by the fire.
Therefore, he has been thinking, why did the emperor have to make his own brother so miserable?
To be honest, it's very unnecessary.
With Li Zhi's power to dominate the world now, no matter who rebels, there will only be death.
At such an important moment of winning people's hearts during the Eastern Tour, he was mean and ungrateful to his brothers, and even messed up Li Shen's butt, making Li Ming a person beside him who was worse than even the eunuch.
beyond the need for a power struggle.
If he thought along this line, Yun Chu felt that both Li Shen and Li Ming were probably caught by Li Zhi and wanted to show others how to look like babies...
Thinking of this, he said to Wen Wen who was sitting in front of the desk: "There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and it seems to be frost on the ground. These are two simple poems. Haven't you continued the following sentences?"
Wen Wen shook her head and said, "It's just because it's too simple, that's why it's difficult."
Yun Chu said with a smile: "This is a straightforward work. It should be regarded as a masterpiece without intention. If you think about it hard, you will lose the original meaning of the first two sentences."
Wen Wenwen wrote a few words on the paper and then said: "This time Li Si faces the emperor directly, what are your chances of winning?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I'll bet the emperor that the queen is reluctant to part with the prosperity of Chang'an."
Wen Wen let out a long sigh and said: "As long as you are an individual, there is no way to kill Chang'an today. After all, Chang'an at this time has already touched a little bit of the shadow of heaven."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "You are wrong, the emperor and the queen can't do it, the nobles and ministers can't do it, and the wealthy and aristocratic families can't do it.
However, the people are extremely poor. The poorer the people are, the more they resent the prosperous Chang'an.
After all, prosperous Chang'an belongs to the emperor, noble ministers, wealthy families, and even rich people.
Only the people who do not belong to the poor.
If one day the city of Chang'an is burned to the ground, it will definitely be Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and his like who take action."
