Chapter 498: Xiang Xiaoyu died
Gao Xiang Xuanli thanked him again and bowed down, then showed a wry smile and said: "Master Guoshi, you are a contemporary great minister, you must have seen something from my face, right?" ”
Yuan Ziyan nodded and said, "Actually, it's not just me, isn't it even Wu Zhaoyi like this today?" ”
"Don't hide it from the national teacher, I am terminally ill and have less than three months to live. Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, I followed Her Excellency Ono Meiko to the Central Plains, and I have lived there for more than 40 years. Helplessly, some people in the DPRK slandered, saying that I was suspected of treason, and I had to sell my property and return to China. Gao Xiangxuanli said, and couldn't help shedding a few tears.
"You mean you want to fall in the Central Plains, right?" Yuan Ziyan asked.
"The national teacher Mingjian, it's just that Dongying is still waiting for me to go back, and I can't disobey the emperor's decree, so I implore the national teacher to be gracious and dredge one or two, so that I can sleep in the Central Plains."
Gao Xiangxuanli said very sincerely, Yuan Ziyan was moved, and finally agreed to his request, he would personally write a letter and ask other envoys to bring it back, saying that Gao Xiangxuanli was seriously ill and could not return to China.
At that time, immigration was not as complicated as it is now, and there were no networked electronic archives, all relying on manual records, so it was not complicated to solve high-level metaphysical matters.
Wu Mei was overworked, she was still a little tired, and she slept for two days before resting, Li Zhi felt sorry for her, so he stopped letting her deal with the government for the time being, and took care of her body with peace of mind.
Wu Mei didn't have much health, but because she was busy, she also neglected her only son Li Hong. I am happy to rest and spend time with my son. At this time, Li Hong was almost three years old, with a cute appearance and a sturdy body. It is said that it is also very edible and taller than the average child.
Wu Mei saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but be glad that she did not delay the child's growth and development because of her own negligence.
"Mother, I made a poem, how about you take a look?" Li Hong asked with a grin.
"My Hong'er is amazing. I can even compose poetry! Wu Mei was very surprised, picked up her son's work, and couldn't help laughing. Where there is a word, it is clearly a picture, parents and children.
"Hong'er, let me ask you. What kind of poem is this? Wu Mei asked with interest.
"My home. Father and mother, they held hands, Hong'er was behind. Li Hongxu translated the meaning of the painting, and then looked at the painting on it, Wu Mei couldn't help crying, it turned out that in the child's mind, the mother's favorite is the father, and they walked hand in hand. The child followed.
"Mother, is Hong'er's poem good?" Li Hong asked.
"Good. However, the mother concubine also has a poem, which is similar to yours, my family, the father and the mother, the parents hold hands, and the child can rest assured. Wu Mei said.
"Is Hong'er in the hearts of his father and mother?" Li Hong was so happy that he clapped his little hands.
"Yes, and it is the most precious treasure in the life of the mother." Wu Mei said emotionally.
"Mother, what do you mean by heart?"
"This is it, listen, is the mother's heart still talking to you?"
"yes, what is it talking about?"
"It said that the concubine's favorite is Hong'er!"
Li Hong laughed, jumped up and down happily, and didn't even let Wu Mei leave when he slept, he had to sleep with her in his arms. Although Wu Mei was worried about work, she also felt deeply guilty for owing her son, and resolutely decided to stay with him.
As soon as Wu Mei left with her front foot, the queen came to face the saint with her back foot, Li Zhi didn't want to see her, but the eunuch said that the queen had something to ask for, and she would never leave if she didn't see Her Majesty, Li Zhi finally agreed and let her in.
After the queen came in, she saluted in a proper manner, and then said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and the concubines can't do anything, but they just miss Zhong'er day and night, and don't ask Zhong'er to always be around, but the weather is very hot now, and Zhong'er will be red and swollen all over the body as soon as there is a mosquito bite, and only the flower water I personally prepared for it is effective." Your Majesty, for the sake of the husband and wife, let the concubine take the loyal child back to live, as long as the autumn season begins, send the child immediately, without delay, and the concubine can sign and draw the charge, so that Your Majesty will not be suspicious. ”
"Hey! How can it be so troublesome, what kind of signature and drawing, okay, the queen please, take Zhong'er back. Li Zhiyu couldn't bear it, but nodded and said.
Queen Wang burst into tears, and wanted to say goodbye, but after a moment of hesitation, she said: "Your Majesty, the heat in Taiji Palace is the most difficult, don't make another mistake, it's better to go to Wannian Palace for a while." ”
"Wannian Palace?"
"Exactly, the scenery is pleasant, and the hot summer night is the most comfortable, which can be called a summer resort." Queen Wang's words were a little timid, but Li Zhi didn't care, but felt that the queen was estranged from him.
In the end, it is also a love affair for many years, in order to repair the previous rift, Li Zhi still said: "The queen's words are very reasonable, or you are thoughtful, and you will move to the Wannian Palace from now on!" ”
"Your Majesty?" The queen wanted to speak and stopped, looking very embarrassed.
"Hehe, the queen is with you!" Li Zhi said, Queen Wang was grateful, knelt down to thank her, and left step by step, as if she was parting from life and death, which made Li Zhi's heart sour.
When she returned to the main hall, Queen Wang cried loudly, so frightened that Mrs. Wei hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and Queen Wang kept shaking her head, saying that the wood was completed and irretrievable, and she cried very sadly.
Yuan Ziyan also felt feasible after learning the news, after all, the summer without air conditioning is too difficult, that is, the palace can have this condition, and you can get some ice cubes to cool down, but the doors and windows leak everywhere, the heat preservation is too poor, and the heat is dead in summer and frozen to death in winter, how can there be air conditioning and floor heating in the future era.
Although the scale of the Wannian Palace is not large, it is located at the foot of the mountain, due to the low terrain, the wind is smooth, and the trees in the palace are lush, it is very comfortable to live in, and it is not afraid of air conditioning disease.
Of course, this is not the case every day in summer, the biggest problem is the frequent heavy rainfall, and the low-lying terrain of the Wannian Palace, if there is a flood, it is also a deadly threat.
Yuan Ziyan specially sent people to raise and strengthen the embankment, paid close attention to the water level, and personally inspected it several times to make sure that the embankment was firm enough, so he was a little relieved. This is not a joke, after all, there are thousands of people in the palace, as well as princes and ministers, and the pillars of the country cannot be completely drowned.
The Taishi Bureau has long asserted that this year's climate is humid, and the rain will be particularly frequent, and there should be a major flood that has not been encountered in ten years. It sounds very serious, but the carrying capacity of the dam is fifty years, so everyone does not pay attention to it.
Because of the rain, many activities were canceled in the palace, and Wu Mei, Li Hong, and Li Zhi's family of three lived happily in one place, and Yuan Ziyan listened to the rain at night, drank tea, read books and played the piano, but he was also leisurely.
It rained for more than ten days in a row, and finally stopped this morning, but the sky was still gray and gloomy. Yuan Ziyan went to court as usual, and followed Li Zhi to step on the steps, but his body staggered under his feet, and he actually stepped into the air and rolled down from the high platform.
Li Tao was quick to fly, flew forward, and picked up Yuan Ziyan horizontally, avoiding the fate of hitting the jade railing.
Li Zhi hurriedly came over to inquire about the situation, Yuan Ziyan stood up, sorted out his clothes, and found that a bead hairpin had fallen off his head, and the jade on it was broken.
The rest of the people also came over flatteringly, and Yuan Ziyan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, let's continue to go to court." ”
After everything returned to normal order, the eldest grandson Wuji took a step forward, looked up at Yuan Ziyan who was sitting next to Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "National teacher, that scene just now reminds me of a word?" ”
"Oh, what's the word?" Yuan Ziyan remained silent, and knew that this old guy couldn't say anything good.
"Death of incense!"
"Lord Eldest Sun, it's just that he didn't stand firm and wrestled, why should he curse the national teacher?" Li Tao was very displeased and stepped forward to question.
"Lord Sikong, since ancient times, there are women in the court, most of them are demons, although the national teacher is a product of the dynasty, but he should not be compared with His Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji said loudly: "Xu is a hint from the heavens to let the national teacher abdicate and retire!" ”
"Hmph." Yuan Ziyan sneered disdainfully, and said: "The adult's metaphor is also an image, but although I fell, I didn't die, how can I say that the fragrance is gone, and this pearl hairpin can be repaired if it is broken, and it can be taken with it in the temples tomorrow." So, I don't think it's appropriate for an adult to say something. ”
"My lord, the steps of this court are much the same, the national teacher walks every day, why is he rude today and in front of everyone, isn't it a hint from God?" The eldest grandson Wuji argued with reason.
Many people disdain to hear it, this reason is too far-fetched, in order to bring down the national teacher, everything is led to the heavens, it is unconvincing. But then Yuan Ziyan's words were even more ridiculous, and the ministers couldn't cry or laugh.
I saw Yuan Ziyan bow his head and think for a moment, then quickly pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and stood up suddenly: "The words of Lord Changsun just now did remind me, but it should not be on me, but in the court!" ”
"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Li Zhi asked helplessly, in fact, his uncle's words were too much, of course he would not do anything because his stepmother fell, there was no need to be serious.
But Yuan Ziyan's face was full of seriousness, and he said: "Your Majesty, my foot is not like stepping on the stone steps, but like stepping on the water, naturally my feet are soft, and I can't stand firmly." Although I can't say why, this is not a good omen, so I have to guard against it! ”
"Mother-in-law, what should you do?" Li Zhi asked absentmindedly, still wondering in his heart if it was an old child, his stepmother and uncle were old, so they had also become willful.
"Zhi'er, the stepmother is not a joke, or with whom to be angry. Besides, at this time, I was upset, and I always felt that something was going to happen, and at this time, I could also send Li Chunfeng to come over and ask. Yuan Ziyan insisted on her own point of view.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the Taishi Bureau should make a good prediction, or invite the masters outside the palace to participate in it." The eldest grandson is not afraid of adding to the chaos. (To be continued......)
