"Don't make any more noise!" Li Shimin scolded unhappily.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly knelt down and choked up: "Your Majesty, the minister always feels that the queen's sudden departure is unbearable. ”

"Auxiliary, according to your words, is it possible to think that I am favoring the national protector and plotting to kill the queen?!" Li Shimin was furious, got up suddenly, pointed at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said angrily: "The queen is mourning, and no one understands the pain of my heart." As an important minister of the court, you don't want to calm people's hearts, but here you are talking nonsense, framing the national teacher, and slandering the king, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was excited, and a cold sweat broke out, and he kept kowtowing: "The minister is confused for a while, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"I miss your true feelings for the queen, stop this matter, if you commit it again, you will never be spared!" Li Shimin snorted.

"Yes, yes!"

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly got up and retreated to the side, but he kept wiping his sweat, his impulse was the devil, and he was almost surrounded by Yuan Ziyan again.

After Li Shimin dissipated his anger, he spoke again: "At present, the official offices are mixed and inefficient, and I think that important official offices such as provinces, Taiwan, temples, and prisons can be gathered in one place. ”

Most of the ministers nodded in agreement, and few raised objections. In the final analysis, all the government agencies headed by the prime minister were brought together, and the situation at the time, as well as the distribution of the palace, were finally concentrated in the south, which was called the Nanya.

Centralization of power was naturally a good thing, and it was also conducive to Li Shimin being in charge of the government at that time, but there were pros and cons to everything, and this move would also lay the groundwork for the later struggle. The first is that the important ministers come together and form a strong alliance. It is more convenient to communicate with each other, and the gangs are relatively concealed and fast.

On the other hand, there is Nanya. Naturally, there was a northern division to echo it, in fact, it was mainly the eunuchs in the palace, doing some work that the courtiers disdained to serve people. At that time, the internal service provincial institutions of the Tang Dynasty were not complicated, mainly to serve the emperor and the masters of various palaces, and the work was single.

But the scales tilted, and the eunuchs interfered in politics, which eventually led to conflicts at the end of the Tang Dynasty. led to the dispute between the South and the North Division. Of course, it has nothing to do with our topic, so let's take a brief look. Straight to the point.

Although the eldest grandson queen died of illness, several princes have grown up vigorously and gradually revealed themselves in front of others, so the eldest grandson has a smooth career. He became one of several important ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Ziyan is definitely a unique wonder. On the side of the long-term companion, standing tall, the eldest grandson Wuji and others hated the roots of their teeth, thinking that one day they would crush their bones and scatter ashes.

For the palace battle, Yuan Ziyan really felt tired, and now it has become a necessity of life, and the part of work cannot be escaped. My father traveled all over the world. disappeared, and the personal maid Yuzhu died tragically. Yuan Ziyan has completely become a lonely person, but he is full of food, the whole family is not hungry, and he is more bold and spicy in his speech and deeds than before.

The eldest grandson Wuji was willing to give up and secretly spread rumors, naturally after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine of the world. The ancients were superstitious, and Yuan Ziyan himself did not follow the usual path, as long as he talked too much, he would one day attract the emperor's great attention.

Because of the Li family's world, Li Yuan was suspicious of Yang Guang several times, and finally took the initiative to retreat to Jinyang, guarding the frontier, but still did not escape, and finally had to raise troops.

Yuan Ziyan does not have his own army, let alone a way out, of course he will not choose Li Yuan's original path and seek perfection, but will face the limelight, not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Winter went to spring, Li Shimin changed the matter of choosing a concubine from once a year in Yang Guang at that time to once every three years, and this year, a large number of good families gathered in the capital from all directions with beautiful visions.

Wu Mei is also in the ranks, but Yuan Ziyan specially explained that she was worried that it would not be safe for her to enter the palace with a girl's family, so she asked her to come to the capital with the local candidates, and come to her directly when the time comes.

At this time, Wu Mei was thirteen years old, and she had already become a beautiful and intelligent girl, and Meiyu also had a calmness and melancholy that was incomprehensible to her peers before.

The experience in the palace obviously made Wu Mei extraordinary, but the change in her family background also made her a little more worried. After Gaozu died, his father's excessive sadness caused an old illness, and he followed him not long after.

Today's saint sympathizes with the past merits of the samurai, posthumously confers the title of Duke of Yingguo, and arranges funerals at the expense of the government, which is touching. However, in the era of male dominance, women's status is low, Wu Mei's two half-brothers treat their mother and daughter very harshly, and the new clothes that are added every year are not theirs, and the charcoal is not supplied in winter.

In order to survive, the mother and daughter swallowed their anger and endured it silently. However, this is not the end, the eldest brother Wu Yuanqing lost his conscience, with a human face and a beastly heart, he coveted the beauty of his stepmother, and one day he took advantage of the drunkenness to do wrong to his mother Yang.

Yang forced death to keep his innocence, first the pain of losing his husband, and then the shame of being humiliated, Yang couldn't think about it, and ran away from home in the middle of the night with his youngest daughter to commit suicide in the river.

Fortunately, Wu Mei was alert, followed all the way after noticing, begged hard, and persuaded her mother to change her mind, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried. The woman had no way out at that time, and she was from a big family, so she couldn't show her face, and in desperation, the eldest sister Wushun hurriedly married the Yue Wangfu Facao Helan Yueshi.

Helan Yueshi has been fond of Wu Shun for a long time, and has asked people to talk to the matchmaker several times, but Wu Shun is quite angry, and Helan Yueshi's appearance is reasonable, but he is a sick seedling, not like a long-lived person. Even though his brother coerced and lured, Wu Shun remained silent and did not let go.

In order to get some dowry for his mother, Wu Shun finally agreed to marry into the Helan family, and also put forward his own conditions, she was originally a famous family, her father was Ying Guogong, and her mother was also from a good background, so the bride price could not be less.

The Helan family is a little disdainful of this request, they don't live far away, and they all know the opportunities of Miss Wu now, but they are embarrassed to assert their identity. However, Helan Yueshi has a deep love for Wushun and threatens to marry Wushun at all costs. For their son's request, the Helan family naturally chose to obey, and pulled three carts just for the dowry, which is already rare in the local area.

Wu Shun cried and cried to get married, however, things were not as she imagined, part of the rich dowry she received made a decent dowry, and the rest were all occupied by her brother, and the three of her mother and sister were still living a shabby life.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the brothers have a bad attitude, and the nephews also compete to imitate them, instructing them to work, and even turning into punches and kicks. 's mother was unbearable, looking for death and life several times, Wu Mei was so sad that her little brows were locked all day long, and she secretly said that if Aunt Yan supported her, she would definitely not end up today.

Thinking of Aunt Yan, Wu Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she remembered that before leaving the palace, Aunt Yan had given some silver and two belongings, which were buried in the woods in the backyard.

Wu Mei was excited, and resolutely moved out of Wufu with her mother and sister, dug up the money, and rented a small courtyard outside.

However, Wu Mei was busy making a living, but she didn't notice the change in her sister's attitude towards her, in order to have enough food for a few people, she was unwilling to marry into the Helan family, but she didn't expect her sister to hide a hand, secretly hiding so many silver taels, but she refused to take it out at the beginning.

Wu Shun inevitably muttered when she returned to her parents' house, and Yang comforted her, Wu Mei was so big that it was difficult to say if she forgot it. Wu Shun said that his mother was partial, how could there be any reason to forget money, and it was clear that he didn't care about his sister's happiness.

Soon, another thing happened that made Wu Shun difficult to let go, the selection of concubines in the palace began again, due to the marriage of the eldest daughter and the filling of the second daughter, Wu Mei dressed up again and entered the palace!

The attitude of the brothers has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, sending a lot of daily necessities, and a basket of good words, but Wu Mei is not even interested in raising her eyes to look at them.

As for my sister's coldness, Wu Mei didn't notice it at all, and thought that my sister was reluctant to enter the palace by herself, so she comforted her with kind words. Wu Mei told her sister that she did not enter the palace to choose a concubine, but to accompany Aunt Yan, as long as there are people in the palace, she can still protect her mother, sister and sister.

Wu Shun was a little relieved, in the end, it was his sister who had been hurt since she was a child, and she took out her private money to make her a few decent clothes and add a few pieces of jewelry.

Hey, looking back on the past, Wu Mei was preoccupied, and then looked back at other young ladies, hugging each other, showing flowers and branches, and a personal maid, which one is like her, a lonely person.

Hehe, the emperor is also a lonely person, and his own experience is nothing. Thinking that she was about to see Aunt Yan, Wu Mei swept away the gloom in her heart, looking forward to it, hoping to enter the palace as soon as possible.

The rest of the girls have to go through the audition, the primary selection, the palace training, etc., before they can have the opportunity to meet the emperor, because the queen went to the New Year's funeral, so they guessed which concubine in the palace should preside over the interview session.

Who should preside over is not taken for granted, and there are naturally strict procedures in the palace. On this morning, Li Shimin asked: "Next month, I will be selected for the imperial wife and the palace examination will be crowned." The queen is not here, which concubine should preside over in the court in the future? ”

"Your Majesty, if you talk about the title, it is naturally Concubine Yang Shu." Xiao Yu came out and said.

"I'm afraid that Lord Xiao hasn't forgotten the events of the previous dynasty!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately denied it, Xiao Yu was a little annoyed, and said: "If Yang Shufei is not suitable, does the eldest grandson think that Concubine Wei, Concubine De, and Concubine Yan are more noble than Concubine Yang Shu?" ”

"Naturally, it can't be compared." Eldest Sun Wuji replied very simply, but Xiao Yu was stunned, and asked in a daze: "Lord Eldest Sun doesn't match his words in the first words, Xiao Yu really doesn't know." ”

"Your Majesty, it is very appropriate for the minister to recommend one." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Hmph, Yuan Ziyan was disdainful for a while, shouldn't she temporarily appoint a new concubine, anyway, it wasn't a queen. Li Shimin felt that it didn't matter, and said casually: "The auxiliary machine is just talking." (To be continued......)
