Chapter 0002 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
Um?
Catch him?
Wasn't he killed?
When did Your Highness become kind?
Xie Shufang was a little confused, but he still bowed and agreed.
"Here!"
Xie Shufang stood up, walked backwards and left the main hall with his hands clasped.
"etc!"
Xie Shufang had just taken a few steps back when Li Ji's voice sounded.
Xie Shufang hurried back to where he was and knelt down on one knee, "What else does your Highness have to say?"
Li Ji smiled calmly and said, "I want you to walk out with your head held high."
"ah?!"
Xie Shufang was even more confused, with a look of confusion on his handsome face.
Li Ji deliberately made a serious face, "This is a military order!"
Military orders are like mountains and must be obeyed.
Xie Shufang was not only an official in Prince Qi's palace, but also a soldier in front of Prince Qi's tent.
Xie Shufang stood up in confusion, raised his head stiffly and exited the main hall...
Li Ji looked at Xie Shufang's stiff movements and shook his head secretly, "He still doesn't have the vigor that a young man should have, and he still needs to be guided..."
Xie Shufang left, and so did the maid.
Li Ji was the only one left in the main hall, and Li Ji felt at ease.
He tore off his collar again and slumped on the soft couch in the main hall without any image.
Less than half the time it took for the incense to be burned, a woman in dark blue robes walked into the hall with small steps, carrying a mahogany square plate, her head lowered.
When Li Ji saw the woman, he sighed slightly.
The long hair on the woman's temples is slightly dull and white, and the strands of white hair in the bun on the top of her head are clearly visible. The woman is only thirty-five years old, but she looks like she is fifty.
The reason why she is called a woman rather than a woman is because she is still unmarried.
Ten years ago, she was a dazzling and beautiful woman with flowing black hair. Now she has turned into a woman with a haggard face, dull eyes and withered hair.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a walking corpse that is about to decay.
She is Li Yuanji’s adoptive mother Chen Shanyi.
A woman who was riddled with injuries by Li Yuanji, but still cared about Li Yuanji's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Li Ji could see that her heart had long been tied to Li Yuanji, and it had become her instinct to be kind to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji actually ordered people to cut her body into pieces. She was worse than a beast. No wonder God couldn't stand it and struck him to death with a thunderbolt.
Li Ji couldn't stand it either. He inherited everything from Li Yuanji and he didn't mind helping Li Yuanji atone for his sins.
Li Ji stood up, barefooted, and took the initiative to come forward. As he walked, he called in the gentlest tone of his life, "Ms. Chen..."
Empress is not a noble title in the Tang Dynasty, but a very common title.
The concubines in the palace can be called the empress, and the aunts, concubines, adoptive mothers, and wet nurses in ordinary people's homes outside the palace can also be called the empress.
This title has been used until later generations.
In later generations, in some places in Guanzhong, one's aunt was still called empress.
It's just that the pronunciation is a bit weird (nia, second tone).
Chen Shanyi seemed not to have heard anything and continued to walk forward with dull eyes.
It wasn't until Li Ji's hands touched her arms that she had any reaction.
She trembled subconsciously and took a step back, not letting Li Ji's hand touch her again.
That was her body's instinctive self-protection response.
Li Ji did not dare to provoke her anymore, and stood there and said softly: "Ms. Chen, I am Sanhu..."
Sanhu is Li Yuanji's diminutive, but Li Yuanji hates being called Sanhu.
When he was a child and was naive, he would respond if someone called him Sanhu. But when he grows up and becomes sensible, if someone calls him Sanhu again, he will fall out.
The reason why he looks like Ruchu is because his appearance is a bit atavistic. He has very obvious Hu characteristics and is obviously different from the Han appearance of his brothers and sisters. Standing among his brothers and sisters, he looks like an alien.
His biological mother, Mrs. Dou, therefore did not want to see him and ignored him, so he was raised by Chen Shanyi.
His cruel personality has a lot to do with the fact that he is not favored by his biological mother.
According to Li Ji's understanding of history, the reason why Li Yuanji looks like a barbarian has a lot to do with the Dou family. It is totally unreasonable for the Dou family to dislike Li Yuanji.
It’s hard to say whether Li Yuanji’s paternal line has Hu blood. History has not given a clear answer, and Li Ji has not found relevant memories in Li Yuanji’s memory. But it is ironclad that there is Hu blood in the maternal line.
When Chen Shanyi heard the word "Sanhu", his eyes finally brightened, and he looked up at Li Ji.
After his eyes fell on Li Ji's face, his eyes suddenly widened with a look of fear.
Chen Shanshan's body began to tremble. She suppressed the fear in her heart, put the mahogany square plate aside, and lay prone on the ground, not daring to move.
Li Ji looked at Chen Shanyi's reaction, feeling a little heartbroken and sad.
He knelt down and whispered: "Empress, Sanhu knows he is wrong..."
Chen Shanyi's body trembled and her breathing became rapid. She stuttered and said: "I...I'm leaving..."
Li Ji wanted to speak, but Chen Shanyi had already crawled out of the main hall.
Li Ji wanted to slap Li Yuanji, so he gritted his teeth and cursed, "What a thief!"
Li Yuanji is really nothing!
The adoptive mother was more frightened when she saw him than when she saw a ghost, which shows how much harm he caused to her.
Li Yuan and Dou are not good people either. They were born without education and caused trouble and harmed others.
Li Yuan, Dou is not willing to teach, so he can give Chen Yiyi an identity, give Chen Yiyi the power to educate Li Yuanji, and let Chen Yiyi teach Li Yuanji how to behave.
But they didn't do it at all, so that after Li Yuanji became sensible, Chen Shanyi was unable to educate or control Li Yuanji, which ultimately turned Li Yuanji into a disaster.
Li Ji has decided that after the traitor in the house is dealt with and the confinement period is over, he will take his Yingying Yanyan and Chen Yishan out for a sightseeing trip.
He felt uncomfortable in this palace.
The word "cannibalism" is everywhere in this palace, and he really has no choice but to stay there.
Li Ji felt unhappy, so he took the square mahogany plate left by Chen Shanyi, placed it on the long table in front of the couch, and sat down on the long table.
By this time it was evening.
In the evening, Li Ji's mood still hadn't improved at all, and he was ready to go out for a walk.
Li Yuan only confined him to Wude Hall, but did not confine him to the main hall of Wude Hall.
He can still walk around everywhere in Wude Hall.
Wude Hall is the residence given to Li Yuanji by Li Yuan. It is a palace and the residence of Prince Qi.
Wude Hall covers a large area and is equipped with pavilions, terraces and pavilions.
In the Hall of Wude not only lived Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji's concubines, wives, children, but also thousands of palaces and hundreds of guards.
To the east is the inner courtyard of the arsenal and monks' food, and beyond that is the East Palace of Prince Li Jiancheng.
To the west are Daji Hall, Lizheng Hall, Wanchun Hall, Liangyi Hall, Qianqiu Hall, Princess Courtyard, Baifu Hall, and Chengqing Hall where Li Shimin lived, also known as Prince Qin's Mansion.
Chengqing Hall was formerly called Chengqian Hall. When Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian was born, some officials believed that Li Chengqian was born in Chengqian Hall. Chengqian means "inheriting the imperial industry and taking charge of the world", which was a good sign. Li Yuan
Give him the name Li Chengqian.
The word Chengqian was used by his grandson, so it could no longer be used as the name of the palace, so Li Yuan changed Chengqian Palace to Chengqing Palace.
It means celebrating the birth of Li Chengqian.
Letting his adult sons live in the palace is definitely a cunning move by Li Yuan.
The original intention of Li Yuan's move was to let his sons live together and be able to move around each other to enhance brotherhood.
For this reason, he specially arranged the living quarters of his three sons on a central axis that runs through the Taiji Palace from east to west. There are countless portals on the central axis so that the sons can move around at will.
It's a pity that Li Yuan became emperor for the first time and had no idea that the temptation of imperial power cannot be resisted by mere friendship.
When their greed for power outweighed their friendship, the convenient door provided by Li Yuan became a channel for them to fight with each other.
Li Ji walked barefoot to the door of the main hall. When he felt the chill that penetrated his bones, he realized that he was not wearing shoes.
Just as Li Jigang was about to ask the maid standing outside the palace to help him put on his shoes, he saw a guard rushing to the front of the main palace.
The guards of Butokuden can pass through the front hall and main hall, but they cannot go to the back hall.
The back hall is the sleeping hall, where the female relatives of Prince Qi lived.
The guard walked to the front of the palace and saw Li Ji standing at the door. He quickly saluted, "Your Highness, Yin Jianmen wants to see you."
Li Ji frowned and said, "No."
The guard hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and whispered: "Yin Jianmen has broken through the front hall and is on his way here..."
Li Ji looked unhappy.
The name of Yin prisoner is Yin Ashu, his daughter is Li Yuan's favorite concubine Yin Defei, and his grandson is Li Yuanheng, the king of Feng.
Yin Ashu's father transformed from a rogue to the supervisor of Liangyi Palace in Tai Chi Palace because of his daughter's wealth.
Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and Concubine Yin De had some personal interests, so Yin A Shu could run rampant in the Tai Palace and Prince Qi's palace.
Historical records indicate that Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and Concubine Yin had some relationships that went beyond friendship. Judging from the memories Li Ji has received from Li Yuanji, this is pure nonsense.
The messages passed between them were basically through Yin Ashu and the guards under Yin Ashu.
When we meet on weekdays, it's also when Li Yuan holds a big banquet.
Li Ji had no intention of fighting for imperial power, so he naturally didn't need to give Yin Ashu any good looks and immediately ordered, "Kick him out!"
The guard was stunned and was about to agree. Yin Ah Shu had already rushed to the front of the main hall. When he saw Li Ji standing at the door of the main hall, he laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness, I gave you a bad breath today, you have to reward me well."
