184 184: The Empress of the Ages (22)
Yi Zhi and Zhang Changzong, these two guys, actually drew inferences from one another, they simply didn't want the sober King Luling, and took back the waste prince who had already suffered from hysteria, and then made him the prince after the disease was cured, wouldn't it be more creditable?
For such a situation, Li Chen is also ridiculous. Perhaps, this is probably the so-called man is not as good as heaven.
Li Chen pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What about Bazhou?" You said a few days ago that my second brother's residence frequently came and went in and out of some fresh faces, and they were all received by the steward of the detention house. ”
"The subordinates are about to report this matter to the princess, and they have already found out that those people were all sent by the Zhang brothers from Luoyang, probably to understand Erlang's condition. If the saint moves his mind to take Erlang back to Luoyang, there may be movement in the near future. ”
Li Chen bowed slightly, and said: "At this critical moment, you have to keep an eye on it, don't go wrong." Alright, you go busy. ”
Shu Ye took the order to retreat, and Li Chen waited quietly in the courtyard for a long time before returning indoors.
Two months later, Li Xian, a concubine, was taken back to Luoyang, and the sage named him King Yong, and ordered the imperial doctor to treat King Yong's illness and recuperate.
King Yong was given to him by the first emperor when Li Xian had not yet been crowned the crown prince, and now the sage has named him King Yong, and the intention is self-evident.
Regarding the matter of establishing the crown prince, a group of ministers led by Di Renjie and Song Jing were suddenly not so anxious. Wu Zetian can be regarded as living a quiet life for a few days.
Di Renjie and they were suddenly not in a hurry, but they were actually very understandable. Among the sons of the first emperor, he was filial to the emperor and benevolent, and had virtue, but unfortunately he was too weak. And Li Xian has been talented and quick since he was a child, and in the years when he was the prince, he may have been like fire and water with his mother, but his ability is obvious to all.
Compared with the current imperial heir and King Luling, who wants to give the country to his father-in-law, although King Yong's hysteria is not good now, the imperial doctor said that it can be cured. What if it can really be cured? It's better to wait, the ministers of this dynasty have experienced too much impermanence and wind and rain, and returning Li Tang to power is the will of the people, but a reliable monarch is also very important.
In the first half a month after returning to Luoyang, King Yong's condition still did not improve at all. With the efforts of the imperial doctor, half a month later, King Yong was able to sober up for a moment.
I heard that when King Yong was sober, it happened to be when the sage and Princess Yongchang went to see him, and King Yong didn't speak for a long time, but called out to his mother with red eyes, a hoarse voice, and a trembling voice.
Wu Zetian heard it, and the old tears were overflowing.
Princess Yongchang, who was accompanying her, also burst into tears in an instant.
Many things, going round and round, are like a dead end that can't be walked out, and now they are back to the original place, but things are not people, and all people can never go back to the beginning.
Probably returned to Luoyang, with the company of his relatives, King Yong's condition improved greatly. In order to let King Yong recuperate with peace of mind, the sage did not allow the ministers to disturb him.
Late at night, Song Jing was busy in the palace for a long time before returning to the princess's mansion, and when he went back, he thought that the princess had fallen asleep, but who knew that the princess was lying on the couch, and she was still very awake. She sat up, leaned on the big pillow behind her, and said to the horse, "Actually, it's good that my mother doesn't let the minister disturb the second brother." ”
Song Jing hadn't changed out of his court clothes yet, so he stood in front of the couch and talked to the princess, "Well, Elder Di Guo also said that it is not appropriate to be in a hurry now." ”
Li Chen glanced at him with a smile, "Elder Di Guo, what about you?" What do you think? ”
Song Jing smiled slightly and said, "What does Jing think, doesn't the princess understand?" In the matter of establishing a prince, the saint originally wanted to set up a nephew but not a son, which was not in line with the system. Naturally, I hope that the saint will set the matter of establishing a prince as soon as possible, so as not to have anything contrary to the decency. ”
Song Jing is a standard Confucian gentleman, and he also maintains the Confucian system of etiquette and music. In his opinion, Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne of God was already too contrary to the system, but the situation was like this at that time, and Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne did give them a day to come out of the woods.
But the education that a person has received for a long time is engraved in his bones, and once his character and some concepts are formed, it is very difficult to change. No matter what he has done over the years, in his heart, he still wants to uphold the Confucian ideals. It had nothing to do with what he did
