Chapter 812 The Prosperity of the Tang Dynasty (64) Two in One
The glory of Tang Dynasty(64)
"Why do you think of getting two big geese?"
swan!
OK! Swan.
Fourth Master put away his pen, looked at the pouring rain, and sighed at his painting, "It's broken, it's damp, and the paint is not good..."
Lin Yutong looked at the painting and said, "It is not affected much by moisture."
Fourth Master: "..." Okay! If it's not big, it's not big. Let's discuss this with you? Why bother yourself? Leave it alone and just have fun today. He changed the topic to the goose, "
A gift from King Luo Bin."
King Luo Bin? When did you play with these people again?
Fourth Master: "..." So you might as well not know anything! Tongtong knew about King Luo Bin, knew about King Luo Bin's singing of geese, and knew that King Luo Bin finally rebelled against Li Jingye, but he didn't know that King Luo Bin had been demoted.
, served in the army in the Western Regions, and was stationed in Anxi for many years. Later, from the Western Regions to Shu, all the propaganda written by the barbarians were written by him. I am afraid that I don’t even know that King Luo Bin has a good relationship with Lu Zhaolin.
. And Lu Zhaolin actually met her before, at Daozhang Sun's house. At that time, Daozhang Sun introduced him as Lu Shengzhi, and she politely agreed, but she didn't remember at all that Lu Zhaolin's nickname was Shengzhi.
We are acquainted with Taoist Sun, and Lu Zhaolin is a disciple of Taoist Sun. Don’t we know each other? And Lu Zhaolin is acquainted with King Luo Bin. King Luo Bin knows many young generals from the Western Regions, and the generals from the Western Regions are familiar with us. This is a complete social circle, closed.
.
You can establish a relationship with us, as long as you are not too stupid, come to the door with two things, and meet each other. Isn't this difficult to understand?
But Tongtong's current thought is, "Has King Luo Bin been in contact with Li Jingye so early?"
Since they all have some connection with the military, it is naturally possible that they have contact. But now it is different from the past. Why did he come to see Li Jingye? Of course he came for us.
The fourth master put the relationship in a circle, and Tongtong suddenly looked like: That's it!
But who could be like him, why would he read the secretary in such detail? He didn’t forget the names of the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty, so he had a good memory.
I came back and took a look around, and saw that all kinds of seedlings had been moved under the corridor and were not wetted by the rain, so that was all.
What is suitable for doing in this kind of weather?
The Fourth Master thought that he should have a small boat and go boating on the Qujiang River. He shuttled among lotus leaves and lotus flowers and watched koi carps leap out of the water. After the rain, water droplets rolled on the lotus leaves, frogs sat on the lotus leaves and croaked, and the rainbow reflected the green hills after the rain.
Green water, is it beautiful?
Hmm! It must be beautiful. If you don’t have anything else to worry about, you can just relax among the mountains and rivers. It’s quite pleasant just thinking about it.
But, "...will the Qujiang River rise due to a heavy rain in summer?"
Fourth Master: "???" Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, "What do you want to eat? Today, it will be placed on the verandah, it will be comfortable."
OK!
The two of them were discussing what to eat when Lin Zhou walked through the corridor in a hurry! It was raining heavily at the moment, and half of the corridor was still wet.
Before the person arrived, he called out, "Your Highness, your consort, this is a letter just sent from the East Palace."
Lin Yutong frowned. She entered the house, and the letter from the East Palace arrived. She took it, opened it directly, and glanced at it. The letter was sent by the Crown Princess. She said in the letter that the Queen wanted Jane
The prince did not agree to remove brothers Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. The mother and son had a big quarrel over this matter just now, and the prince felt bad when he came back and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Lin Yutong closed the letter. The news was sudden and there was no warning at all.
She asked Lin Zhou to go down first, and then looked back at Fourth Master: "I thought it would be difficult for the Wu brothers to get ahead because of me. Who knew that Empress Wu would still use these two brothers."
The fourth master said, "It's not surprising, and it definitely can't be stopped. It's useless for anyone to stop it."
Yes! There are many confidential matters that cannot be left to other people. Only the family members, who share weal and woe, can use it with confidence.
Empress Wu has a grudge against her two brothers and has no relationship with her nephew. But the relationship of mutual use is the basis of cooperation! The Wu family wants to be prosperous and wealthy, but Empress Wu needs someone she can trust to do things that cannot be told to others.
At a time when power has not been extended, these two brothers are undoubtedly good candidates.
This is actually the same as using Li Jingye to take advantage of others! Will Li Jingye sell himself? No! Will the Wu family sell Empress Wu? No way!
Who is more noble than whom?
If you want to use it... just ask her to use it! Now we are talking about recommendation. This recommendation... will definitely not work! No one will be happy to have their hands and feet tied just because they recommended someone else. If this is the case, the internal examination will be
Zai must do it. If Empress Wu gives her a title, it is the queen's natal family, so she can just keep it under control. If she wants to give her real power, then there is the internal examination as a roadblock. Where can he go?
Getting into a fight over this? No need to!
But what's the fuss about? You can ask Li Hong to go back and vomit blood?
I still have to go to the East Palace to see how Li Hong is doing.
Li Hong was lying on the bed, his face pale, not even a trace of blood on his lips. Lin Yutong's complexion changed, and he hurried to the bed and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, then looked at the princess, "Have you called the imperial doctor?"
"His Highness refused to let me do it and said I would wait until today."
This was because he did not want people to know that he had a dispute with Empress Wu. If so, the court would be in chaos again, and there would only be more people attacking Empress Wu.
Li Hong waved his hand and asked all the waiters in the hall to go out, then took Tongtong's hand, "Imperial sister... the queen mother hopes to kill King Pan Yang alone."
King Pan Yang? Li Sujie?
Li Hong nodded, "The queen mother said that Li Sujie has a disloyal heart and is suspected of coveting the crown prince! Such people cannot be retained." As he spoke, he held Lin Yutong's hand with almost all his strength, "But the emperor's sister should
I know that Li Sujie is not really disloyal. It is human nature for a son to want to be filial to his father. He is surrounded by one or two subordinates who seek a change for him, but... this crime is not worthy of death! Besides, my father, the emperor
I am in poor health. Because of the cockfight between King Lu and King Ying, Wang Bo was demoted! Brothers fighting and killing each other is a taboo of my father! Yes! I am not in good health, my father must be considerate. I really want it.
King Poyang's life will not be spared by his father. But how can a son do something that hurts his father's heart when his father is already in such a condition? Sons kill each other and lose their lives.
The pain of the son and the hatred of betrayal will kill the father!"
Mother and son did not reach an agreement on this matter.
Li Hong smiled miserably, "I don't know if the queen wants to use this waste! As a prince, I don't want to do it anyway, so I might as well use my identity as a prince to do whatever I want! Even if the court officials criticize me, so what? Anyway,
What does it matter if you don’t become the crown prince anymore? She wanted to use this opportunity to remove an obstacle and pave the way for the successor! The queen mother was afraid that more courtiers would oppose her and not support Xian Er as the crown prince! She was afraid that the courtiers would support her.
Li Sujie has great ambitions! The Queen Mother wants to call her father and ministers, but she has no choice! First it is King Poyang, and then it must be King Qi... The Queen Mother does not want to call these two people!"
King Qi is Li Shangjin! Among Li Zhi's sons, these are the only two who are still alive who are not the biological sons of Empress Wu.
"Royal sister, there will never be any more fratricide in the royal family!"
Lin Yutong sighed inwardly, "Brother, take a good rest. Don't get angry anymore!" This mouthful of blood vomited really hurt the foundation.
She raised her hands to help rub it, until she fell asleep. Then she went out. The princess was waiting outside anxiously, "Your Highness is..."
"I'll make a prescription and ask Brother Huang to use it first. Don't worry about other things and don't worry about it anymore."
The Crown Princess's expression changed, she looked inside, and then eagerly grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, "The Crown Prince's body..."
If you don't take good care of him and raise him carefully, you will be laying the foundation for a big disaster. Even if you raise him, he is much weaker than the average person. Let alone riding a horse, he can only walk by himself. He can't walk out of the yard for fear of losing his breath.
.
This time it was really hurt! He understood Empress Wu's desire to eradicate the problem, but he felt that his mother wanted to use him one last time! This was sad.
She whispered to the Crown Princess, "Sister-in-law is free, please slowly persuade the Emperor. The Empress said this matter urgently, but... the Empress does not just want to take advantage! If the Emperor wants to retreat, what happens next, the Empress will do."
You have to think of your brother. If you clear the obstacles for the new prince, this is your contribution to the new prince! With this contribution alone, you can ensure that future generations will be safe."
The Crown Princess cannot understand this behavior. The Queen should know the Prince's nature, force the Prince to kill her brother, and even use the means to frame him. How could the Prince do it?
Lin Yutong sighed, "Don't mention anything else now! Whatever you choose to say! The emperor can't listen to anything you say now. You have to say this slowly and slowly! The emperor is the eldest son, and he has always been entrusted by his father, the emperor, and his mother.
High hopes. If possible, the queen mother still hopes that the person sitting on the throne is the emperor's brother. King Lu is capable, there is no doubt about this. But the emperor's brother should also know that the mother is very strict with King Lu. The reason for this, you
Tell the emperor to have some free time and think more about it."
The Crown Princess nodded and sent Lin Yutong away personally.
But Lin Yutong's departure was particularly heavy. She went to see Empress Wu first.
Empress Wu was reviewing the excerpts and frowned slightly when she saw Tongtong, "Did I invite you into the palace again?"
Lin Yutong stood in front of the imperial case and whispered, "Mother...the emperor's brother is not in good health!" I didn't hear of calling the imperial doctor! Is this because he is not satisfied with this matter and plans to pretend to be ill to escape?
Empress Wu waved her hand and told everyone to go down, and then said: "What does he want?"
Lin Yutong looked into her eyes, "Mother, the emperor didn't dare to call the imperial doctor... But, my sister-in-law said that she vomited a mouthful of blood when she got back..."
What?
Empress Wu suddenly stood up, shaking.
Lin Yutong supported him and said, "Mother, we have to discuss this with the emperor. If the emperor's body is not taken care of, I'm afraid he will live forever."
No! I can’t!
Empress Wu's chest rose and fell violently, "Mr. Xuan! Mt. Xuan!"
Lin Yutong stopped her, "Mother, my brother is afraid that people will know that he got sick when he left your place, which is not good for you!"
I don't care whether he is beneficial or not! I can kill anyone who wants to do harm to me! However, I have to ask the imperial doctor to examine him! She shouted outside: "Dr. Xuan! Send it to the East Palace."
After saying that, he walked out, got on the sedan chair and went straight to the East Palace.
The imperial doctors were guarding the prince's bed, and Daochang Sun also came. After he and Tongtong looked at each other, he lowered his eyelids.
Daochang Sun sighed in his heart, "Look! Something big is going to happen."
Empress Wu saw that everyone had been diagnosed, and then she said, "Stop talking here and go into the palace."
Say it in the presence of a saint.
Li Zhi thought he heard wrongly, "What do you think happened to the prince?"
The imperial doctors lowered their heads, the situation was like that, and it was the same situation after all!
Li Zhi looked at Tongtong again, "Tong'er, tell the truth, what role does your imperial brother have?"
Lin Yutong noticed the trembling of Li Zhi's hands. She stretched out her hand and held it tightly, "Father, he knows the body of the emperor himself. I am looking forward to seeing the emperor in the days to come..."
The implication is that living is better than anything else!
Li Zhi first looked at Tongtong, then looked around at the imperial doctors, who avoided the saint's sight. Li Zhi then looked at Taoist Sun, who slapped his head without saying a word.
Li Zhi's throat rolled twice, then he closed his eyes and fell straight back.
saint!
When he fell down, there were shouts in the hall.
Lin Yutong pinched the acupuncture point, and Empress Wu's voice came over there, "What's the trouble? Daochang Sun is staying, and the other imperial doctors are staying in the palace temporarily."
This is not called leaking information.
Turning around, the hall became quiet. Daozhang Sun gave the injection, and Li Zhi gasped twice before he woke up. Lin Yutong clearly saw Li Zhi's tears falling from the corners of his eyes, then sliding into his temples and falling into the pillow.
"Sage." Empress Wu sat over and said, "There are still many things to do later. Anyway, Hong'er's life is not worried! Being in poor health also has bad benefits." There is a difference between not wanting to be a prince and being too weak to be a prince. Physical health
If you are weak, take a step back. It would be good if the next prince can give you some preferential treatment!
Li Zhi waved his hands, as if he was holding back something.
Empress Wu looked at Tongtong, "Take Daozhang Sun and go outside to rest."
yes!
Lin Yutong helped Daochang Sun out and asked someone to escort him to the side hall. She was guarding the door, and Li Zhi's questioning voice came from inside. He asked, "What on earth did you say to Hong'er?"
Empress Wu said, "I want to promote my nephew."
Just for this?
"I also want them to monitor King Poyang."
Li Zhi stopped talking. After a long while, he heard Li Zhi say, "Why do you have to force him?"
"If he does it and passes this test, he will be a qualified prince. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to do it." Empress Wu said, with a hint of sobriety in her voice, "If... I really can't do it! I
I didn’t want to tie him up anymore. At that time, I should think about how to mention this matter to the saint. How can I make him retreat with dignity, safety, and no worries..."
Li Zhi closed his eyes because he didn't want to talk anymore.
Empress Wu sat there for a long time. Seeing that Li Zhi was still in the same state, she stood up and left without saying a word of explanation.
In this case, should Lin Yutong stay in the palace? It's not necessary.
She left the palace and returned home, but she still left Daochang Sun in the palace.
But she didn't know that as soon as she left, Li Zhi declared Ming Chongyan.
Ming Chongyan knelt respectfully, his forehead pressed to the ground, not daring to move.
Li Zhi didn't look at him. When he woke up, he saw that the lit candles were all three shadows. He raised his hands and looked at his fingers. Not to mention the palm prints on his palms, he couldn't see clearly the shape of the nails on his hands, let alone the palm prints.
When I put my fingers in front of my eyes, there were heavy shadows, and I felt dizzy.
So, even if you want to see it, you can’t see it clearly.
He didn't know how long he was silent before asking Ming Chongyan, "Have you seen the prince today?"
"Yes! I have met you."
"What is the prince?"
"I should congratulate the saint. The prince was originally destined to die, but now he has a glimmer of hope. Although the dragon's energy is gradually fading, his vitality continues..."
Li Zhi followed the voice and looked in the direction of Ming Chongyan, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Who told you to say that?"
"Saint! I don't dare!" Ming Chongyan said hurriedly, "I am telling the truth! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot sleep well every night and is suffering every day. If this continues, his lifespan will not be more than one year. Princess Protector is proficient in Qihuang.
She has never explicitly stopped her from dealing with the prince. I think that Her Highness the Princess must be aware of it! As Her Highness the Princess said before, it is already good that we can meet each other when we want to.
.”
Li Zhi covered his chest, lay down, and was silent for a while.
Ming Chongyan's head was dripping with sweat, and there was no other sound in the entire hall except the heartbeat in the chest of the palace man.
He was kneeling numb, and just when he didn't know what to do, he heard the saint say again, "Since the prince was originally destined to die young, then... what made him change?"
How do I know? Ming Chongyan swallowed hard and then said: "To get a chance from a certain death situation, it must be the blessing of a person with great merit!"
Li Zhi sat up suddenly, "Then if someone with great merit is willing to protect him, can the prince's fate be restored?"
Ming Chongyan was startled. How should he answer these words? He had to bite the bullet and said, "The position of the prince is extraordinary. I'm afraid it will bring disaster to this man of great merit."
A frail prince, this is actually the same as taking advantage of power. This will become the target of public criticism. Who is the person with great merit in the eyes of the saint? Except Princess Protector who doesn’t do what he wants. If the saint really wants Princess Protector to fight to the death
To protect the prince... then this is actually sacrificing the princess to protect the prince.
After he finished speaking, he waited quietly, waiting for what the saint would say?
Li Zhi was speechless! This truth is right! If Tong'er is asked to commit suicide, it is equivalent to asking Tong'er to stand in the court and become the target of public criticism.
This decision is not easy to make.
He sighed, looked at the dancing candlelight, and then asked, "Have you met King Lu?"
yes!
"What do you think of King Lu?"
Decapitated dragon! Now that I think about it, I must not have been wrong that day! This situation only shows that there are still several catastrophes for the imperial court. But how to say this? He became more and more difficult to say, "Prince Lu is a rare talent."
"Where is the King of England?"
"The King of England..." The trapped dragon is not a good candidate either. Thinking about this, his heart beat faster, because the most majestic one is the consort! But the location of the consort's rouge spot is very awkward.
Okay, so it can be seen that some things have changed. Except for the consort, the dragon energy on the queen and the princess protecting the country is thicker.
Do you dare to think about what this means?
Of course he didn't dare to say this! He could only say, "The King of England does have the appearance of a dragon!"
Li Zhi frowned, what are you talking about? Xian'er is much more capable than Xian'er! How come the King of England has the appearance of a dragon? Xian'er is just a talented person? He sat up and waved to Ming Chongyan, "Come here, I
Take a look."
Very, very close. Li Zhi squinted his eyes and could vaguely see a face covered in sweat, as well as a pair of frightened and guilty eyes.
Li Zhi sneered and said, "Get out!" He felt that Ming Chongyan was instigated by someone to make up all the nonsense. No matter who was instigating Ming Chongyan, it meant that someone wanted to get involved in the reserve! So,
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
When Ming Chongyan went out, his clothes were wet with cold sweat.
After returning home, I knelt down in front of the Queen, but I didn’t dare to tell the truth to Queen Wu! I had to tell the truth, hiding the subsequent comments about King Lu and King Ying, and only said, "I wonder if the saint wants to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Protector to assist the prince.
Before I withdrew, the sage had no other words to say. Thinking about it, he still had no determination."
Empress Wu was speechless, and just waved her hand to tell people to go down. Then she wandered around the main hall, and Hong'er's body made the peaceful court in front of her disrupted again. In fact, Hong'er became the prince, and according to the arrangement of the saint, it was the most important thing.
Suitable. Hong'er is not stubborn and weak, so she can help herself. The saint has used Tong'er again. The three of them each perform their own duties, which is the best plan. She really hopes that Hong'er can take another step forward. That saint
He may not completely give up on government affairs.
But who would have thought that he would be wrong about such a little thing! He was so angry that his body collapsed faster than a saint!
What's next? The position of prince can only belong to Xian'er.
But Xian'er and Hong'er are different! They are two sons with completely different temperaments. What will happen if Xian'er becomes the prince?
Empress Wu felt a little more worried for no reason! But she was not the only one who was worried, Tongtong was also worried.
In fact, under the current situation, if it was really for Li Hong's benefit, he should not be placed in the reserve position. If Li Xian was replaced, he would be capable of being a qualified prince!
Firstly, she was afraid that Li Zhi would tie her up with Li Hong, and secondly, she was afraid that Li Xian was not Li Hong, and Li Xian might not think it was appropriate to do things that Li Hong could tolerate.
Therefore, it would be a bit foolish not to retreat at this time.
She was thinking about this matter in her mind, but she still went to the palace as usual every day, and would take a detour to see the prince no matter what the weather. Everything seemed to be no different from before.
However, there is no wall in the world that is not ventilated.
The storm is about to start!
On August 15th of this year, the imperial court changed the name to Shangyuan, and announced to the outside world that in order to avoid taboos about the late emperor and the late empress, from today on, the emperor would be called Tianhuang and the empress would be Tianhou, and the two saints came to the court.
A grand banquet was held in the palace, and the prince and the princess showed their faces. The prince left early because he was too drunk. The princess also resigned, saying only that she would go back to serve the prince.
Fang sent her off with a smile, Zhao didn't say much, and just followed Fang to socialize. However, Wei Xiang'er, who followed Zhao into the palace, had something flash in her eyes. She whispered to Zhao, "Princess, what should I do?"
Here’s a toast to Her Royal Highness Princess Protector.”
Mrs. Zhao actually got up and came towards Lin Yutong with wine in hand.
As soon as the wine came over, Lin Yutong took it with a smile. But as soon as she took it in her hand, she immediately retched.
While the Fourth Master was still at the banquet, he was informed that the princess was happy.
He: "..." Even if I have it, it won't last more than half a month. Why am I so happy?
This was because he knew that a storm had arisen, and she was involved in a meaningless incident without even noticing! So, she escaped decisively! He hurried over and saw Tongtong leaning against him in the side hall, and the two of them looked at each other.
Tongtong wanted to say: What do you think of this move of mine? How good is it from you?
Fourth Master: "..." What is the true story?! I have always faced difficulties. When did I hide when I saw the wind?
