173 Fear (

Since I fought with Wei Huan, I haven't entered the palace for 20 days in a row.

She was really ruthless this time, at that time it was just a faint pain, and when she got out of the palace, she went home, and lay down on the bed, she felt that her whole body was like falling apart, and she felt soreness everywhere, and she quietly undressed to take a look, but she saw that her legs and waist were blue in several places, although it was not serious enough to move, but it was also the most amazing injury I have ever suffered in my life.

I was really angry and hateful, and I had no temper with Wei Huan, so I simply said that my heart hurt, and I refused to go out at home. Anyway, I'm a princess, I don't want to earn money to support my family, I don't want to sit in the office, and my relatives don't have much to do with each other, except for the occasional mother and brother and sister-in-law who can think of me and enter the palace to talk, I really don't have anything serious. At these times, my mother and Li Rui happened to be very busy, and neither of them summoned me. As for Wei Huan, not to mention it, not only did she not come to see me, but even when I sent someone to send her things and talk, she was only willing to reply with a few official words - if it weren't for the fact that these three people had sent someone to reward me a few times, I really doubt that I didn't leave the palace, but entered the prison and became an orphan.

In fact, just after the fight that day, on the way to see my mother with Wei Huan, she chattered with me a lot, most of them were trivial things about dressing and eating, although I liked her to be so concerned about me, but she only had a few words over and over again, and wanted to talk to her about business, as soon as she spoke, she said, "I know it in my heart, you don't care", and she treated me purely as a child.

I was annoyed by her, the more I listened, the more perfunctory I became, and when I saw her call Song Fuyou, Xiaolang, and Xianxian over, she took out the queen's money and gave a good training, so she was even more impatient, and said "Sister-in-law will take care of her own affairs first, my people, I will deal with them, and I will not ask my sister-in-law" When I got to my mother, I mentioned my illness openly and secretly, and my mother sent Wei Xun to bring two apprentices to my house. It is not conducive to recuperation, I think the cats and dogs raised in my hospital are too lively, and it is easy to startle people when I run around, I heard that I have been lying in bed for a long time, so I sent a waiter to invite me to go out for a walk, and when I want to go to the yard to carry out activities, pull a bow and arrow, and wield a wooden knife, and say that I can not move much this year - even Dugu Shao once invited me to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to watch a play, and everyone was invited to the venue, and the venue was contracted. The banquet was also set up, but he thought it was too noisy, Dugu Shao saw that it was the imperial doctor in the palace, and thought that I had a serious illness again, so I was so frightened that I sent someone to ask several times. I told her again and again that I was fine, but she didn't dare to come to my door again easily, and instead went to hang out with those military friends.

I think it's probably because of these messy little things that some resentment has arisen, so although I miss her to death, I still just nest at home, and I don't have some energy.

Contrary to my malaise, Zheng Bo has been busy these days.

The day after I returned, Li Rui issued an edict asking him to rebuild the Hot Spring Palace as an envoy. Li Rui means that this palace is for his mother to live in, he must do whatever the cost, in order to be extravagant and luxurious, if there is not enough money, he can also transfer it from the inner palace treasury - but the construction period must be tight, it is best to build it this year, and at the beginning of next year, he can send his mother there to support the elderly.

Zheng Bonian was not yet crowned, and he was still studying in Hongwen Pavilion, and suddenly received such a big errand, and it was built for his wife and mother, and the current Queen Mother, especially serious, every day before dawn to go out of the city, galloping dozens of miles to leave the palace, and then gradually lived there, only returned to the city once in three or five days, but often sent someone to write to me, the writing is very beautiful, and the writing is also sincere.

I don't like the meaty words he wrote to me, but I like to see him mention what he has seen and heard about leaving the palace: he is young and takes office, lest he make mistakes, he is cautious in everything, and even in his letters to me he inevitably mentions some official business, which is mixed with a lot of confusion, some of which seem to me to be extremely ridiculous, but his son-in-law does not understand the people's suffering, for example, he once said that his subordinates are very hot-hearted, and the things he orders are always done quickly, but they are always not done well, and sometimes they are overly forced. As soon as I saw it, I knew that this was clearly the people under him who bullied him for being young and ignorant, perfunctory to him, and pretending to be submissive on his face, so I wrote back to him and told him to pay attention to what the relationship between these officials was, and divide them into several factions, and tell him to secretly go to talk to a faction that is not powerful, and at the same time set up a standard for everything, and after giving orders, it is necessary to determine how much to do it, and use a certain amount of manpower and material resources, if it cannot be done, no matter what excuse there is, it is necessary to reward and punish people, and it is better to punish people and then appease them later, than to break the rules in public. Zheng Bo did as I said, and a few days later he angrily replied that those people were really deceiving him, and he still thought they were good. When I wrote the letter, I actually had some Zhao Kuo's meaning of talking about soldiers, and when I saw that it was really effective, I was also happy in my heart, and I was more willing to give him ideas.

Zheng Bo saw that I liked it, so he gradually mentioned more official affairs, not only about building, but also about the customs and customs near the palace, the people's fields, and all the things he thought were novel. I said that I was moved, mentioned once, said out of the city to see him, by the way outing, who knew that he would not let me see, afraid that I would be willful, that day also rushed back to the city, persuaded a lot of health nonsense, and had to talk to me about books and words, until the second watch genius reluctantly went out, the next day and let the little maid bring me a lot of small playthings in, what wooden buckets, small wells, bamboo small waterwheels, small paper kites, and messy flowers and grass, etc., with a small bamboo basket found out of nowhere to fill two baskets.

I think those two bamboo baskets are very interesting, and they are hung in the study, looking at them from time to time, as if they have become a Tian housewife, far away from the hustle and bustle of Beijing. And the day after this bamboo basket was hung on the wall, there was a reward in the palace, and Princess Wei sent her most powerful palace man Qiqi to send me ten pieces of gold utensils, two of which were small bamboo baskets made of gold, and two were small windmills made of gold.

I asked someone to send these ten pieces of gold to melt that day, originally wanted to make a statue of Tianzun, and gave up the optimism, but then thought of my mother's worship of Buddha, so I changed my mind, and added an additional 20 pieces of gold, planning to build a Buddha statue, so that I could celebrate my mother's birthday in the coming year.

When the craftsmen sent the first Buddha statue style, the news of Li Sheng's death came from the palace.

Zheng Bo knew the news before me, so he rushed back from outside the city on the spot and accompanied me into the palace. On the way, he told me the news he had sent one after another: I heard that on the day of the fight between Wei Huan and me, someone secretly reported the prime minister on duty, saying that Li Sheng had colluded with foreign officials on the road and plotted against him. The prime minister naturally didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he quickly reported the matter to his mother and Li Rui. Such a big crime, whether it is or not, must always send someone to investigate, so the emperor agreed to order Qiu Shenyun to go to Ju to ask. After that, it was the story of the deposed prince who was unwilling to be interrogated by his subordinates and committed suicide by taking poison. No one knows where the poison came from or what it was like when he died.

I thought that since I already knew the end of Li Sheng, I shouldn't be sad. However, when I really heard the news of his death, I felt as if I had been touched somewhere in my heart. Tears flowed silently, not much, but no less. The heart is silently blocked, not to the point of heartache, but it is also extremely uncomfortable.

It was a living human life, the life of my own brother, who had been the prince of the Tang Dynasty for 20 years. Now this life has gone quietly, and I don't even know the exact time of death.

I don't know if he was peaceful when he died, and I don't know if he had any resentment before he died, I only know that his life was much more important than my life and Wei Huan's. When I was born, he was already the prince, our young children all lived in the Daming Palace with their parents, and the place where they were active on weekdays was just near the Zichen Palace, and the public opinion and the like were redundant, whether it was the ministers, the foreign women or the internal women, all of them relied on their young age, they could see each other calmly, they could talk if they wanted to, and they didn't say if they didn't want to speak, and the etiquette was not very restrictive.

But Li Sheng is different. He lives alone in the East Palace, and every time he comes, he has to bring a mighty guard of honor with him, and when he meets people, whether it is a minister, a clan, or a wife, they are all well-behaved, and there is no lack of majesty. Even when Li Rui and I see him, we have to obediently meet him, answer carefully, and occasionally take him when I am naughty, it doesn't feel like going out with my brother, but more like going out with a father. And in my memory, the most outrageous and unsimilar thing he did to the crown prince was that year in Ruzhou, taking me and Li Rui to hunt ghosts.

In fact, sometimes Li Rui and I are afraid of him, even more than our father, because my father is often just an ordinary middle-aged man in front of us, but the fact that he is the crown prince and completely different from us has been carved into our blood since birth.

Such a person died in such a mess.

And if even Li Sheng dies like this, what about Li Rui? What about me? Wei Huan?

Wei Huan said that Li Sheng was summoned to Beijing by Li Rui, and his mother didn't want him to die. However, if this is the case, why would he send such a well-known cool official as Qiu Shenxian, who had been at odds with Li Sheng in the past, to bow to the trial, instead of sending anyone else? Li Rui summoned Li Sheng to Beijing, and his mother really didn't know anything about it, and couldn't stop it at all? Li Rui didn't know the consequences at first, but didn't he know when he saw that Qiu Shenyun was sent for interrogation? What kind of mood did he have in making such a decision? It was the half-brother he had supported and relied on.

Is Wei Huan lying to me again, or does she really not know? What kind of thoughts does she have for her mother, and what kind of thoughts does her mother have for her? Did they make a deal in private, so Wei Huan swore that I would leave her alone? Or was Wei Huan just sure that her mother was the only one son, Li Rui, so she had no fear?

Thinking from the mother, the two sons can still contain each other and balance carefully, but the only son is a great threat, will the mother really be willing to depose Li Rui and make his son the emperor? If the mother really does this, can she rest assured that she can keep Wei Huan, the titular son of heaven?

After a month away from the hustle and bustle, I finally had the fear of being in a high place and being involuntarily uncontrollable, but I didn't know who I should be afraid of. (. Just Love)
