Li Chen finally entered the palace and heard his mother say that he wanted to marry her niece to Li Jingye, although his mother later said that he wanted to think about it again, but Li Chen still felt a little depressed in his heart.

If she had to do that now, she couldn't help it.

So, Li Chen went to Hanliang Hall to find his father with a heavy heart, and wanted to accompany his father to go out for a walk and talk.

Mother said that now that the king of England has been appointed as the crown prince, it is time for my father to let go of his heart, but it is just a scene.

Whether it is his mother or father, they all know very well what kind of person Li Xian is, he has always been young and orderly, and the first two brothers are dead or abolished, and now they can only make him the prince.

"Your third brother is the most playful, I hope that after he becomes the prince, he can cultivate his mind and live up to his father's expectations for him." Li Zhi said with a sigh.

Li Chen held his father's arm and did not speak. Everyone knows that Li Xian is a helpless move, either Li Xian or Li Dan, these two people, in Li Chen's opinion, neither is better than the other, and they will be their mother's marionettes in the future.

Li Zhi has been recuperating these days, and all the affairs of the court, except for military affairs, are handled by Wu Zetian. After Li Xian's incident, Li Zhi's ambition for Wu Zetian to pursue power is numerous, if he had stayed out of the way to examine the open and secret struggle between Wu Zetian and Li Xian like this before this, maybe the matter would have been settled cleanly.

Looking back now, I also blame myself for mishandling the contradictions between the two mothers and sons.

Now, problems are endless, and his dying body may not last for two years, and he can't toss it at this time, so he can't depose the queen rashly.

If the queen is deposed, what about the two sons born by the queen, will they also be deposed? This movement is too big, especially when it comes to the crown prince, a little carelessness will shake the country's foundation, Li Zhi sometimes only hates that he is not completely blind, otherwise he can't see it, and there are not so many bad things.

Li Xian became the crown prince, what would happen next, Li Zhidu could already foresee it very clearly, but he couldn't help it, neither of the two sons was better than the other, so he had to try to relax his heart.

Li Chen comforted his father: "The third brother will not disappoint his father." ”

Li Zhi smiled, and then sighed leisurely.

Many things seem to be blessings back then, but in the end, they will inevitably cause trouble. Li Zhi feels that the two sons are unreliable, but there is nothing to be done, his queen is now very ambitious, and she also needs someone who can contain her power, but right now, how many people can contain her?

If you are reincarnated, you can still contain one or two, but what if you are gone? can take advantage of his own presence to abolish the queen and solve it, yes, provided that he can live for ten or eight more years, otherwise it will be useless.

When he ascended the throne, he suffered from the containment of the ministers of Gu Ming, and he was unable to govern himself, and now he has emptied Wu Zetian's power, and the forces inside and outside the court will inevitably be rebuilt, but if the king of a country at this time does not have a very strong ability, he will not be able to control those scheming ministers in the court.

No matter how loyal the minister is, can he guarantee his loyalty for the rest of his life?

No matter how Wu Zetian is, he is already over half a hundred years old. Maybe she is in better health and will stay in this world for more than ten years longer than him, but she will not have other heirs, even if she holds the power, in the end, if she doesn't give the power to her son, who can she give it to?

At this point, it's useless to think about it.

Li Zhi looked at the little daughter beside him, and she came into the palace every fifteenth day of the new year to ask for peace, and she did not change rain or shine. Li Zhi remembered that when she was still young, she had assigned two secret guards to her, but she asked the secret guards to find out how many people Wu Zetian had arranged in the harem.

At the beginning, she also asked him, intentionally or unintentionally, if he was worried that his mother would become the second Empress Lu.

"Yongchang." The emperor suddenly called out to Li Chen.

Li Chen turned his head sideways and looked at his father.

"If father and mother quarrel, who are you going to help?"

Li Chen laughed out loud, "But you won't quarrel, even if you really quarrel, you won't let Yongchang know." ”

"What if your mother and brothers have a dispute?"

Li Chen was stunned and looked at his father.

Li Zhi looked at her with some red eyes because of some overuse of his eyes, he couldn't see his joy and anger clearly, and he was very unfathomable, "Who are you going to help?" ”

Li Chen was silent, and then said: "Then it depends on what happens, whether Yongchang can really help." If you can't help something, you will only lose your wife and lose your soldiers. Yongchang will always remember that my father took me on horseback when I was a child, accompanied me to read and practice calligraphy, and also remembered that my brothers loved me and spoiled me. ”

In fact, the words have been made very clear, Li Chen has not hidden too many things in front of his father.

She was fortified in front of her mother, but in front of her father, she was never defended.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked again: "Why did you have to choose Song Jing as a concubine in the first place?" ”

Li Chen met his father's gaze, the emperor's heart was like a mirror, and he saw people far more clearly than others imagined.

“…… Because he is not from a high background, his background is simple, and his heart is pure. ”

Li Zhi let out an expressionless "oh", "It seems that you still like him to be poorer than others." ”

Li Chen was choked by his father, and then retorted: "No, I see that he has a gap in his chest, and he is determined to ask for his life for the people and open a peaceful and prosperous world for the Holy Lord." No matter who is in charge of the overall situation, in his heart, there may only be Jiangshan Sheji. ”

Although Li Chen only married Song Jing not long ago, judging from the historical background of this person, from the time of his father to the Kaiyuan period, after he experienced four generations of emperors, he could still become a famous minister of Kaiyuan, which shows that he is a person with faith in his heart. Although there were ups and downs during the period, the monarchs of the past dynasties did not deliberately embarrass him, which shows that he is very capable.

After these days, she got along with Song Jing, and heard that he was acting in the court, and it was obvious that he was a pure minister as she expected.

What kind of political struggle, that mallet didn't go to his heart, because he wasn't interested in it at all.

Li Chen even felt that in Song Jing's heart, maybe whoever became the emperor had nothing to do with him, anyway, it was either Li Xian or Li Dan, even if his mother became the empress, Song Jing would not be very surprised, in his heart, he would probably feel that Li Xian, the prince's cockfighting lackey, was not serious, and it was better to let Wu Zetian come than let him preside over the overall situation.

In the folk, isn't Wu Zetian equivalent to a mother in a big family whose father died early? Because the son is not angry, the mother is in charge, and after the mother is a hundred years old, she will naturally return the family business to her son.

Anyway, the fight is still an internal matter of the Li family.

In these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no matter what country name is changed, whether Wu Zetian will crown herself as the empress or the empress dowager, isn't her identity still the daughter-in-law of the Li family?

Now I even have some expectations for my mother's ascension, in addition to my mother becoming the idol of women in later generations in the future, which is a great encouragement to them, isn't it also because I know that my mother will return this thousands of miles to her brother sooner or later?

And she only needs to try to protect her father's clan relatives and several brothers and sisters during her mother's reign.

Li Zhi looked at the little daughter in front of him, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his eyes, and involuntarily squinted his eyes.

"Ayer." Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly asked, "But your eyes are sad?" ”

Li Zhi's eyes closed slightly, and said, "Today's vision is a little difficult and painful. ”

"I'll have someone call for a royal doctor."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "No need, the imperial doctor won't be useful, I know it in my heart." As he spoke, he pointed to the bench in front of him, "Help me over and sit down for a while." ”

Li Chen helped her over according to his words, in front of the bench was a grass, with some small purple flowers blooming sporadically, and occasionally birds came down for a walk, walking and stopping, and tilting their heads to look at the two people in front of them.

Li Zhi felt that his eyes were better, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the bird with his head tilted in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, "People are not as happy as birds." ”

Li Chen didn't say anything.

In the past few days, the emperor has thought of various methods and countermeasures, no matter which one it is, it is the next step to depose Wu Zetian, and he is not willing to do so.

Li Zhi didn't know if he was particularly unlucky, since he ascended the throne, God hadn't given him much face, and there were no years in Datang that were smooth and smooth without natural disasters. The heavens were not happy, so they leaked a hole in the west and broke a hole in the east, and there was a drought in the Guannai last winter, and in the late spring and early summer of this year, the eastern capital of Luoyang was flooded, and tens of thousands of houses were washed away, and there were locusts in other places, and where the locusts passed, the particles were not harvested.

Whether it is the imperial court or the local government, they are exhausted for disaster relief.

As soon as the restless neighboring countries on the border saw that there was a natural disaster* in the territory of Datang, they took advantage of your illness to kill you, and led troops to invade the border twice in three days.

Under this situation of internal and external troubles, there really can't be any more chaos in the court.

The emperor sat on the bench, and after thinking about it, he felt that according to the current situation, he could only see one step at a time, and he had a headache after thinking about many things, and he felt distressed when he thought about it.

However, now the distressed emperor looked at his little daughter sitting quietly beside him, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

The emperor thought that his two most satisfying sons were gone, and now he had a favorite little daughter. Perhaps, he should leave something to this little princess who he has held in the palm of his hand since he was a child.
