29.029: Gentleman Duan Fang (2)
Since Li Chen came back from Luoyang, the eastern capital, he felt that there was a smell of medicine wafting from the East Palace. The prince's health seems to be much worse this year, and sometimes he coughs very badly, and it seems that he can cough out his lungs.
Li Chen looked at the objects in front of him, thinking about what to bring to the East Palace for the prince's brother.
At this time, Taiping came over with a group of mighty palace maids, and she saw that Li Chen seemed to be very entangled, and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”
Li Chen glanced back at Taiping, his eyes bent wide, "Brother Crown Prince is sick, I'm thinking about bringing something to Brother Prince." ”
Taiping made a gesture, and a group of palace maids stood in two rows outside with good training, and she stepped in and looked at what Li Chen had put out. There are rare items that the feudal kingdom entered the palace, and there are also some dry goods and specialties from all over the Tang Dynasty, such as food and play.
Their father, Li Zhi, was a sincere advocate of frugality, but he did not demand his children, especially his youngest daughter. As long as it complies with the rules, she will be rewarded for what she can be rewarded, and she will be given to those who can be given to her. Li Chen felt that there were too many things under his name, and the warehouse was about to be full. Maybe she had never had such a luxurious time before, but now that she sees good things, she adheres to the reason of not wanting nothing in vain, and piles a lot of them into the warehouse.
Taiping walked over, looked at those things, and said, "Brother Prince, you don't lack anything, don't bother." ”
Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Taiping, remained silent, and continued to choose.
Taiping said again: "Didn't Lu Sicheng get some tea cakes from Buxian Garden's tea leaves for you to play?" The prince's brother is recuperating in the East Palace, and he is idle anyway, why don't you bring some tea cakes, and we will go to the East Palace to make tea with him? ”
Li Chen blinked, thinking that this could be had, so he nodded with a smile, beckoned Liu Xin, and asked her to bring a good tea cake and a set of tea making tools.
Boiling tea, she hasn't played much with it, when she was in the garden, she saw a master from the south demonstrate how to cook, but at this time the tea ceremony has not yet become popular, and the tea is also very rough.
However, as the saying goes, if something is good, it will be trending down.
Now the princess Yongchang from the saint and the queen's Royal Highness seems to love the tea ceremony, and the saint also gave a large area in the southeast of Chang'an to the princess Yongchang and named it Buxian Garden. I heard that there are tea trees all over the mountains in the Buxian Garden, and there are talents who come from the south to specialize in planting tea trees. Last year, there was a natural disaster, and the tea trees did not grow well, but this year, the spring drizzle moistened the earth, and the tea trees spit out new stamens.
The dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City also began to have a strong interest in the new thing of tea, although the tea ceremony has only begun to be popular in the circle of dignitaries and nobles, and it is not mature in all aspects, but at least, in Chang'an City, there is already tea to drink, and these teas can barely be regarded as having a tea taste.
Li Chen and Taiping sat on the kang and watched Liu Xin direct the palace maid to prepare tea sets and tea cakes.
Taiping hooked his finger at Li Chen mysteriously, "Sister, tell you something?" ”
Li Chen leaned his ears over, "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing this, Taiping grinned and whispered in her ear: "Helan Minzhi is going to be unlucky!" ”
Li Chen was stunned, Helan Minzhi was going to be unlucky? At the beginning, because of the death of Mrs. Wei Guo, her mother and Helan Minzhi were actually not close. But her mother had ambitions and desires in her heart, and wanted to cultivate her own power, and her brothers in the samurai family, her two half-brothers, and two cousins who were relatively close to her were all killed by her, and her children were exiled to Lingnan. At present, if you want to cultivate your own power, you can only think about it, and you can only think about it as Helan Minzhi, the son of her sister Mrs. Han, so she didn't pay much attention to Helan Minzhi's suspicion that she poisoned Mrs. Wei Guo that day. After all, in the face of the stakes, those personal grievances that are not very strict can be put aside.
At least, Li Chen felt that his mother thought so, so he let Helan Minzhi inherit the title of Duke of Zhou, thinking about cultivating Helan Minzhi.
But now Helan Minzhi is going to be unlucky, what's going on?
Taiping snorted coldly and said, "I've seen him unpleasant for a long time, but my grandmother and mother have always protected him before, and now it's time for him to be unlucky." ”
Li Chen nodded in agreement, "Well, he deserves to be unlucky." ”
Not only has Taiping looked at Helan Minzhi unpleasantly for a long time, but Li Chen has also looked at him unpleasantly for a long time. Li Chen didn't like Helan Minzhi, not because he was Mrs. Wei's brother, not because he was his grandmother's little lover, Li Chen didn't like him because he felt that Helan Minzhi was really not a thing.
Helan Minzhi hated Wu Zetian in his heart because of the death of his sister Mrs. Wei Guo, but he didn't dare to fight with Wu Zetian, so he just wanted to disgust people with some crooked and evil things.
A year ago, the crown prince Li Hong had reached the age of accepting a concubine, at that time Wu Zetian originally chose a concubine for Li Hong, this concubine's surname is Yang, and she is now a famous woman with five surnames, noble birth, beautiful and beautiful, and good at singing and dancing, Wu Zetian felt that the marriage between the Yang family and the prince Li Hong was simply a match made in heaven, and even the wedding date was chosen at that time.
However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Helan Minzhi, the bastard, didn't know what means he used, in short, he seduced and raped the Yang family. After finishing the matter, he also came to the palace and said to Wu Zetian: "Auntie, the Yang family you chose for the prince is beautiful, but she is not happy with the prince, she is happy with a certain person, and she has made a private life with a certain person!" ”
At that time, it was Jiang Wu Ze who almost lifted the table and wanted to repair him, but it didn't work, her mother, Mrs. Rongguo, was still in front of He Lanmin.
Mrs. Rongguo persuaded bitterly: "Why should Her Royal Highness the Queen be angry with Xiao'er, then the Yang family has lost its woman's virtue before it is married, and if it is really married to the prince, it is really inappropriate." Besides, Her Royal Highness the Queen is now employing people, several of your brothers are no longer there, and their children have been exiled to Lingnan, even if you recall them from Lingnan, they are no closer to you than Minzhi. Although Toshiyuki's incident is ridiculous, he also confessed before he made a big mistake, his mother and you are also my children, no matter what, it is better for you to use him than to use your cousin's children. ”
Although Wu Zetian was furious in her heart, but Mrs. Rongguo said this, she was not good at coming with her mother, and she could only do this if she thought about it.
So, Wu Zetian, who was holding back the fire in his belly, had to quickly cancel the wedding, but in the end, this matter was disgraceful, and every time I thought about it, it was as disgusting as eating a fly.
Helan Minzhi's temptation to rape Yang's affair was over, and it was over, but when Taiping went to visit his grandmother in the Zhou State Mansion, He Lan Minzhi actually raped Taiping's maid in the Zhou State Mansion.
Which is tolerable and which is not?
It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and Helan Minzhi relied on Mrs. Rongguo's protection, and even Li Hong and Taiping didn't pay attention to it.
Li Chen didn't have any special feelings for his grandmother, and felt that his grandmother's words were simply ridiculous. Is it more intimate to have the same mother? At the beginning, Mrs. Han would not have climbed into Li Zhi's bed if she thought that she and Wu Zetian were the same mother. She first added a blockage to her sister Wu Zetian's heart, and then died of illness, and then it was her daughter's turn to add a blockage to Wu Zetian, and finally Mrs. Wei Guo also went to the South China Sea to worship Guanyin, and finally came to Helan Minzhi.
Li Chen felt that her mother must have owed Mrs. Han a lot of money in her previous life, so Mrs. Han and her children came to collect debts from her mother in this life.
After the death of Mrs. Rongguo, Helan Minzhi still didn't know the truth of being a man with his tail, he was looking for fun in the Zhou State Mansion, recruiting prostitutes to drink, and flying eagles and lackeys were all bad, and it happened that Wu Zetian was worried about the prince's affairs at this time.
The prince pleaded for his two elder sisters, hoping that his mother could find a wishful husband for his two elder sisters as soon as possible, and the news has spread. The government and the opposition all praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his benevolence, which is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.
In Wu Zetian's view, it is a good thing for the prince to be benevolent, but it is not a good thing that the prince cannot stand on the same front with her. Since the matter of Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng has been raised, the top priority is, of course, to find a good home for them, not to tell the truth. So Wu Zetian immediately found a colt for the two princesses, and asked people to start arranging the wedding of the two princesses. She still pondered in her heart that after the two princesses held their wedding, she would promote the two concubines to the rank of thorns.
But these things can only be used as a remedy. No matter how well she remedied, in the eyes of those who cared, it still seemed that she still had a grudge against Xiao Shu, so she deliberately delayed the two princesses, and when the prince proposed the lifelong events of the two sisters, it was a benevolent act in the eyes of others.
Now that Li Zhi's health is deteriorating, he has begun to gradually transfer political affairs to the crown prince Li Hong, and a group of officials in the East Palace have quietly become powerful in the court, which is a threat to her.
When Wu Zetian felt the threat of the East Palace, he heard Helan Minzhi's absurdity, and he couldn't get angry. With a product like Helan Minzhi, what use do you want him? Even if she didn't blame Helan Minzhi for the past, he couldn't support the mud on the wall, and simply killed him and recalled several nephews of the Wu family from Lingnan.
Regardless of intimacy, the surname is always Wu.
She bestowed upon them glory and wealth, but wasn't it enough to make them feel grateful to her?
It's better than the white-eyed wolf of Helan Minzhi, who is neither successful nor mature.
Wu Zetian made up his mind, so he acted immediately, and she and Li Zhi counted Helan Minzhi's crimes in one two three four five six seven, and all of them were enough for He Lan Minzhi to bear. However, Li Zhi still remembered Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wei, so he said to Wu Zetian: "Mei Niang, he is the son of Mrs. Han after all, and he inherited the title of Duke of Zhou, even if it is absurd, it has passed." Why did you not pursue those things in the past, but now you bring them up again? ”
Wu Zetian had expected Li Zhi's move, so he said sadly: "The so-called family ugliness is not publicized, but now that my mother has passed away, and the concubine does not hide it from the master, Helan Min's virtue is corrupt, and he actually fornicated with my mother." ”
Li Zhi: "......! ”
