Taiping accompanies Emperor Wu and performs similar tasks to Shangguan Wan'er. However, Wan'er can never talk too much. Taiping speaks whatever comes to mind, and Emperor Wu does not hesitate to give advice.
Taiping discovered that there were actually very few conflicts between His Majesty and Sister in handling government affairs.
For example, my sister said in Zhezi that local finance to support the army is very harmful. The reform of the military system seems to be about the military system, but in fact it is not. The real reform should be the tax system!
In other words, it is to strengthen the court's control over various places, transfer finance and taxation to the court, and use it uniformly.
After His Majesty read the brochure, he immediately agreed that it was very good, and issued an order to my sister, asking her to provide a more detailed brochure.
For another example, His Majesty wants to promote farming methods, use pesticides and fertilizer accumulation, optimize seeds, etc., all in the name of the imperial court.
Of course, this is because he wants to take advantage of sister's achievements to improve his own political achievements.
But she didn't expect that Sister A would reply immediately, saying that she would sort out the relevant information and hand it over to the court.
But after this incident, His Majesty did not give my sister any more rewards or titles, but she didn't seem to care about it.
In Taiping's view, these are all major events among major events. In the court, if this is not a major event, what is a major event? They do not have any outstanding conflicts on these major matters.
This was hard to understand in the first place, but as a result, people still don’t understand it even more.
My sister recommended Liu Weizhi and Fan Lubing to talk about tax reform, and these two people could take charge of the matter.
Taiping knew that these two men were bachelors from the North Gate, and were His Majesty's first confidants who were promoted to share the power of the prime minister. It is not surprising that my sister did not avoid these two people's origins and strongly recommended them.
Taiping looked at this folding piece, then closed it and glanced toward the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Imperial Physician Shen Nanqiu has been in for an hour, and it seems that she can only go here tonight.
Putting down the fold, Taiping stood up and prepared to leave the palace and return home.
Shangguan Wan'er stood up to see her off. Taiping took Wan'er's hand and looked back, then asked in a low voice: "How many days has it been since Shen Nanqiu entered the dragon tent?"
Shangguan Wan'er pulled Taiping and walked out. At night, the palace was full of people, but it was lonely everywhere. The lights were bright, but no one dared to make a noise.
It was so quiet and deserted that it made people feel panicked.
Shangguan Wan'er pointed around, "Listen, is there anyone's voice? After you go home, your consort will talk to you, and there will be children chattering around you. Regardless of whether you are arguing with your consort or getting angry with your children, it is all lively.
Yes! But look at the huge palace... His Majesty is the only one left."
When you are alone, everyone would like to have someone to talk to.
Shangguan Wan'er sighed, "She is so old, do she really need a man? She needs someone by her side who can talk to her. Besides, Doctor Shen is already in her forties... The princess cannot speak out about this matter."
Taiping looked back again, smiled and patted Shangguan Wan'er's hand, "Go back, I'm leaving the palace."
Shangguan Wan'er stood still, watched Taiping go away, and then went back. She scanned the folds on the table one by one, took out the folds for Princess Zhenguo alone, and placed them on top. Then she went to the inner hall and stood there.
Outside the curtain, he reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the princess has left the palace."
Emperor Wu was lying on his stomach, with silver needles on the back of his neck. She opened her eyes with a "hmm" and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Come in."
The tent was hung up layer by layer. Shen Nanqiu gave Emperor Wu acupuncture and pulled out the silver needles one by one. Then he turned around and took out a blanket filled with hot medicine powder and covered Emperor Wu's back. "Your Majesty, please turn over." , lay one underneath, so you don’t have to lie down all the time." Emperor Wu moved, and Shen Nanqiu turned around and laid it down. Emperor Wu turned over and lay down, feeling warm all over her body, and she sighed comfortably. He said: "Zhenguo said that it should be fumigated, but I don't like the clouds and mountains covered with smoke. The smoke and mist are so thick that you can't see clearly even three steps away. I even feel uncomfortable... This method is better. I feel at ease."
Shen Nanli had a slight smile on his face, "You are still too willful. The princess's method is good. If you use the princess's method, fumigation once every ten days, it will not be more serious. If you don't use it, you can Also suffer."
He spoke softly and unhurriedly, and Emperor Wu smiled, "It doesn't matter if you take it slow! It's good to be able to sleep like this for an hour every day! It's strange that I don't sleep well. I fall asleep as soon as you give me acupuncture." Yes." After saying that, he asked again, "Did you snore?"
Shen Nanqiu just smiled, "I took a nap, but I didn't hear it."
Emperor Wu nodded and said, "You! Slippery, you must be snoring. You are afraid that I will punish you."
"If I take a nap and snore and don't wake you up, then you are snoring. If I don't wake you up, then in my heart, you must have never snored."
Emperor Wu laughed again, then looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Is there any important news?"
"Yes! Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo has come in with a message."
Emperor Wu sat up and said, "Bring me the book."
Shangguan Wan'er went out to get the book, looked back, and saw Shen Nanqiu taking a small coat and putting it on Emperor Wu himself, "When it's hot and cold, the coldness enters the body, how long will it take to get better? You are a good majesty, but in the eyes of the minister Here, you are not a good patient."
Okay, okay! Listen to you!
Shangguan Wan'er came back after taking the fold, and Emperor Wu leaned up, covered with a thick medicinal blanket, wearing a small jacket, with his hair disheveled, looking very casual.
Emperor Wu nodded his chin and signaled Shangguan Wan'er to give the fold to Shen Nanqiu.
Shen Nanqiu knelt down with a pop, "I dare not. It is my duty to take care of Your Majesty. If I overstep my bounds, I will die."
Emperor Wu made a sound, and stopped leaning. He sat up and stretched out his hands, "Why are you kneeling down? Come on, come on, I will pull you up."
Shen Nanqiu stretched out his hand, supported Emperor Wu's hand to stand up, and said in a low voice: "I'll watch people stew the medicinal food for you, and you can drink it later."
Really gone!
Emperor Wu then looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Read it."
Shangguan Wan'er opened the book and read it. Emperor Wu was silent for a long time and only asked Shangguan Wan'er to retreat.
Shen Nanqiu came in with the medicinal meal, scooped it up with a spoon, and took a sip himself. Then he put the spoon down, took a new spoon, and handed it to Emperor Wu, "I have tried it, and the temperature is just right."
Of course someone has to try the things at the entrance! But the things Shen Nanqiu handed over were always tried by him himself.
While Emperor Wu was using it, he asked Shen Nanqiu to sit next to him and whispered: "Zhenguo Zhezi, please use Liu Weizhi and Fan Lubing..."
Shen Nanqiu said nothing, only held the handkerchief, ready to hand it over to Emperor Wu when he needed it.
"My daughter... deserves justice. She doesn't stick to any standard when it comes to hiring people, and she doesn't divide people by camp. As long as she can do the job, there is no difference in her eyes."
Shen Nanqiu took the remaining half of the bowl and handed him the handkerchief. Emperor Wu took it and wiped it. Only then did he realize that it must have been unused.
"It's cool, so don't use it. The supplement of medicine and food is not in the moment, but in the right time, and in persistence." When it comes to health care, he still keeps silent about political affairs.
Emperor Wu's eyes softened, "You don't have to go to the dormitory tonight, just stay."
So a low couch was moved outside the dragon bed tent, and this became Shen Nanqiu's bed.
Shen Nanqiu stayed overnight again, and when the news from the palace was delivered to Tongtong, Tongtong lit the note with a candle and burned it to ashes. In fact, this kind of news is unnecessary, but Liu Ren left it Man, if you don't ask him to report this, he won't know which one to report. It's better to just send them all the news and judge whether it is useful or not. Others are curious about Emperor Wu's private life, but she is not that interested.
It depends on how you think about it, right? If you lived alone in the Forbidden City, and everyone else was your subordinates and slaves, and you didn’t even have a close friend, how would you feel?
Day after day, year after year.
She doesn't need that person physically, she needs someone who can be close to her psychologically to accompany her.
Therefore, Tongtong pretended to be deaf and mute about this matter! As long as the person she is looking for does not interfere in political affairs, then let her go. Now, what major matter is not more important than the matters in private life.
Fourth Master said that Liu Weizhi and Fan Lubing had the ability and status to take on the task, so there was no harm in recommending one or two.
But I was recommended, and I thought it would be approved soon.
This time she thought wrong. Emperor Wu summoned him two days later: she refused.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and the astonishment on Taiping's face was simply unstoppable: For such an important matter, in order to have a clear understanding of the situation, I recommend someone who is your confidant! You have forgotten that Liu Weizhi made great contributions to deposing Li Xian. This person should have good abilities, and because everyone knows that he is your confidant, the cooperation from top to bottom will naturally be better. Why don't you agree?
Emperor Wu did not explain, only said, "Let's recommend another one."
That's it!
Lin Yutong didn't ask what must have happened.
Shangguan Wan'er escorted her out, whispering as she walked, "Your Highness, Your Majesty Qianer summoned Liu Weizhi..."
Liu Weizhi was unwilling? He declined?
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, stood still, and said in a lower voice: "Liu Weizhi said that your Majesty should establish a prince, and let the prince supervise the country. Your Majesty asked him, but there is something you did not do well, Your Majesty. Liu Weizhi said, no He was dissatisfied with Princess Zhenguo, but with Princess Taiping assisting the government. He said that if there is a need to assist the government, it is the prince who should assist the government. Your Majesty is old, and if the prince does not participate in politics, what will happen in the future?" Lin Yutong was stunned, "This is Liu Wei What you said?"
yes!
Lin Yutong sighed. The North Gate bachelor who firmly supported Emperor Wu did not support her as much as before after Emperor Wu ascended the throne. They hoped to return power to Li Tang, "Where is Fan Lubing? What did he say?"
"Fan Lubing was summoned yesterday. Fan Lubing objected to the saint canonizing the ancestor of the Wu family as emperor. He said that this country and country were inherited from Li Tang, and we should respect the three sages of Li and Tang! The Wu family has done nothing in the world, how dare we steal the throne?" Shangguan Wan'er said, He sighed, "The saint just casually mentioned that the military surname should be exempted from tax... But who knew that Fan Xianggong would say such a thing? His Majesty had no words at the time and just asked people to leave the palace. But last night, one day I couldn't sleep well at night..."
Lin Yutong suddenly became alert! She tried to figure out Emperor Wu's thoughts. She must have been thinking that even her confidants supported Li Tang from the bottom of their hearts. So who would the minister dare to believe?
This must be the origin of ruthless politics! She was scared.
Lin Yutong said nothing. She had to go back and think about what to do next.
But when she was thinking about the solution to this matter, Wu Chengsi's eyes lit up over there: Has someone finally proposed to canonize the prince? The prince - why must his surname be Li?!
