Chapter 43: Dangerous Infatuation
Wu Mei talked for a long time, and saw that he always knelt without saying a word, and gradually regained her senses.
By touching Li Chunfeng's hand just now, the smooth back of her hand made her believe that this Li Chunfeng was definitely not a simple character. So it's best not to force a fish to die and break the net, and slowly let him submit to himself is serious.
So, she straightened her clothes and said to him in a dignified voice: "Taishi, please get up, I made a mistake." I beg your pardon for frightening you. ”
Li Chunfeng slowly stood up, continued to pretend to be old, and left the main hall with a salute.
Wu Mei walked quickly to the door and stared at his back from behind. With every step he took, he brought up tiny silvery-white snow dust under his feet, and these tiny particles, reflecting the sun's shining light, wrapped him in such an unreal way. Wu Mei remembered that night a few years ago, when he stepped away in the rain, time stood still and suspended in the night sky with crystal raindrops, and suddenly couldn't help shouting: "Li Chunfeng! ”
He stopped, tilting his head back slightly. The perfect profile of the face is still the same as it was back then, but the eyes still don't fall on her face. Then he turned his head again, still walking resolutely towards the door.
When she was a concubine, she couldn't keep him, but now that she is the queen, he still disdains.
Wu Mei walked back to the depths of the hall, sat down on the dragon chair dejectedly, closed her eyes and was full of those shining eyes. What's wrong with her, she's so fascinated by a mysterious person who looks down on her?
She thought that with her current status, she was enough to deter these old courtiers. But he was different, he had no desire for power, and he had real skills, and he was sure that she would not touch him.
Wu Mei smiled suddenly, half of it came from the excitement of the challenge, and the other half came from the future of the future. For her, there is nothing more challening than conquering the unconquerable and solving the unsolvable.
"Li Chunfeng, let's come to Japan for a long time." She wrapped her heavy cloak comfortably and began to work on the affairs of the Holy Driver's Journey to the state.
Besides, Li Zhi and Tang Ying were happily strolling around the street, not buying much things, but they couldn't wait to judge everything. There was an enthusiastic vendor on the street, who stopped Tang Ying to sell wontons to her, and she was just about to take it, but was stopped by Wang Fusheng and persuaded in a low voice: "Girl, the things outside are not clean, be careful of what epidemics." ”
Tang Ying looked at the steaming wontons, and blinked pitifully to beg the emperor. Li Zhi walked for a long time and felt hungry, but what Wang Fusheng said also made sense, so he whispered: "If you like it, it is better to go back to the palace and let the cook do it." The food problem is indeed not to be underestimated. ”
Tang Ying really wanted to explain to him that almost all of the infectious diseases in the ice and snow were frozen to death. However, this is difficult to explain, so I have to pout. Just as they were about to leave, a barefoot beggar in ragged clothes suddenly came out of nowhere and hugged the emperor's feet to beg for food. Wang Fusheng let out a scream, and suddenly more than a dozen guards with knives surrounded him from different directions, scaring the beggar so stupid that he even forgot to let go of the emperor's leg.
Li Zhi wanted to tell him to let go, but he didn't know what to do when he looked at his tattered and dirty clothes. Tang Ying was not afraid of getting dirty, so he helped the old beggar up and asked for a bowl of chaos for him. The beggar looked stunned, and knelt on the ground with the bowl and did not dare to eat. Li Zhi waved his hand, and the people around him put away their weapons, but they didn't dare to leave Li Zhi for half a step.
There are more and more people watching the excitement on the street, and it seems that Li Zhi's private interview with Weifu is about to be interrupted. With some annoyance, he asked Wang Fusheng to give the beggar some money, and pulled Tang Ying towards Luoyang Palace.
The wonton vendors first knelt and kowtowed, and then the roads they passed were lined with people on both sides.
It was easy to hide in the palace, Wang Fusheng took off the emperor's robe as soon as possible, and immediately found a brazier to burn. Li Zhi changed into a dragon robe sullenly, watched the clothes that had been touched burned to ashes, and whispered as if talking to himself: "In previous years, I have always focused on expanding the territory. In the years since his accession to the throne, the war in Goguryeo has subsided, and the peasant uprisings in the south have also been quelled. The military is strong and invincible. The first emperor Rong Ma has been a horse all his life, and the truth he told me about how to lead troops to fight is also tried and tested.
However, as the country has gradually stabilized, I have not paid much attention to the issue of developing people's livelihood. Some time ago, Mei Niang said that the control of the Yellow River and the expansion of armaments require appropriations, and asked me how to distribute them. Naturally, I chose armaments. Now that I see these hungry people on the streets, I realize the limits of my vision.
Shadow, when fighting the country, the thinking of male conquest is indispensable. And when guarding the country, women's family-oriented thinking is equally important. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, my mother, Empress Changsun, knew that the treasury was empty, and she took herself as an example to be diligent and thrifty. Now my Mei Niang understands the national suffering better than me, and she is also a good queen with foresight. ”
Tang Ying was deeply moved after hearing this, clasped his hand and said, "If the emperor can think like this, he deserves the title of Mingjun." When they returned to the dormitory, Li Zhi told Wu Mei of his decision to develop production and improve people's livelihood. Tang Ying could see from the smile on her chest that the effect of today's private interview with Weifu had long been expected by her.
The days in Luoyang passed quickly. Tang Ying and Li Chunfeng had a tryst a few more times. Li Chunfeng didn't say a word about Wu Mei's private talk with him. Just like Tang Ying was afraid that saying bad things about Yuan Tiangang would be like a brotherhood between them, he didn't want Tang Ying to have any suspicion of Wu Mei.
Li Chunfeng secretly sighed that his feelings for Tang Ying were really extraordinary. Before, I had never thought of respecting my wife like this. Think about her everywhere, even above yourself.
On the twenty-third day of the first month, the royal driver left Luoyang and went to Bingzhou. At first, Tang Ying wanted to go to Bingzhou together, but when he remembered that it was Helan Minzhi's territory, he didn't feel afraid.
Wu Mei happened to not want Tang Ying to fall in front of Helan Minzhi anymore, so she asked her to go back to Chang'an first. However, Li Chunfeng was left behind, half of this decision was selfish, she hoped that Li Chunfeng could learn more about her ability to govern the country, and the other half was also because the historian only brought such a person, which was really indispensable.
After Tang Ying learned the news that Li Chunfeng was going to stay, he was depressed for two days. Later, Li Chunfeng persuaded her for a long time and said that she would rather separate than see Helan Minzhi attack her, which made her make up her mind.
When Li Zhi learned the news that Tang Ying was going to return to the city ahead of schedule, he felt extremely troubled at first, but soon Helan Minyue's temptation diluted his reluctance to Tang Ying, and he was impatient to come to Bingzhou. Wu Mei saw everything in her eyes, and could only deal with it silently with a sneer.
In short, Tang Ying and a few retinues left the team and headed for Chang'an. Li Chunfeng continued to follow Li Zhi and Wu Mei towards Bingzhou. Tang Ying had been bored on the road for the coming loneliness, but she didn't expect that things were far from being as simple as she thought.
