Chapter 42 Banquet for the Ministers

Seeing that Li Chunfeng fell into contemplation again, Tang Ying said coquettishly: "It's hard for me to come out to see you once, so why don't you have to spend it in silence like this?" Li Chunfeng hurriedly packed up his official duties and asked like a caring elder, "Is there peace in the palace recently?" ”

Tang Ying mentioned that the queen and Concubine Xiao Shu were sent to the cold palace, and carefully paid attention to Li Chunfeng's reaction, but he didn't expect that he didn't show obvious opposition.

Li Chunfeng always remembered the fortune results he deduced, although it was not as accurate as the information Tang Ying got from the historical records of his descendants, Wu Mei said that he also deduced this matter. In fact, when I thought of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, they were both people who abused witchcraft, especially Concubine Xiao Shufei had reached the point of lawlessness. On the contrary, he felt that Wu Mei was much stronger than these two.

In all fairness, if it weren't for Taizong's last order to resolutely curb Wu Mei, he would have admired her quite a bit. Just with her indomitable spirit of fighting against fate, it is enough to show that she is not an ordinary person.

However, Yuan Tiangang didn't think so, he could only listen to Taizong's words, which has always been the case. Now that Taizong is dead, no one can change his mind.

He shook his head unconsciously, and said to Tang Ying, "I'm glad that Wu Mei didn't kill these two. I guess it must be the reason for your persuasion. Although this is the case, Tang Ying said modestly: "Mei Niang was not originally a person who killed violence. What's more, in order to protect the queen's life, Lord Liu took the initiative to accuse Concubine Xiao Shu of using demon magic and chose us cleanly, and we are already content. ”

Li Chunfeng nodded, "Shadow, remember." It is always more difficult and greater to forgive a person than to kill him. Those who have done wrong can still repent while they live. If you die, there may be nothing. ”

Tang Ying listened carefully to his teachings, and An An decided to make this a lifelong creed.

Time flies, and the autumn breeze rises.

Li Zhi tried to reinvigorate the imperial power by "abolishing Wang Liwu" and attacking the old minister Shili. As a result, Xu Jingzong and others received Wu Mei's instructions to carry out large-scale activities, and the call for "abolishing the king and queen and turning Wu Zhaoyi" to the court intensified. Many wall-riding factions have switched to the camp of "pro-force". In addition to the old ministers of the three dynasties such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the conservative ministers did not dare to touch their heads indiscriminately.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei's mood was eager, especially Wu Mei, and asked Wu Mei's mother Yang to personally bring gifts to visit the eldest grandson Wuji, but was scolded back by pointing her nose.

Wu Mei knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was a hard stone, and if she wanted to ascend to the back seat, there was no other possibility than to let him nod. So he sent someone to secretly inquire about his living habits, trying to do what he liked. Through countless eyeliner inquiries, I somehow mentioned the time of worshiping Zhaoling, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji specially inquired about the origin of Tang Ying.

Wu Mei is so smart, she knows everything, and Tang Ying's appearance is immediately associated with Empress Changsun. So she found Tang Ying and asked him if he would like to help. Tang Ying was born and died with her, and to put it bluntly, Wu Mei's success or failure became one of her main goals in this shijie, so it was a meaningful decision to lend a hand. In addition to helping Wu Mei, she was also quite dissatisfied with the old minister's perennial suppression of the emperor Li Zhi.

Pay attention to the certainty. Wu Mei used her extraordinary energy and skills to probe the past of Empress Changsun in many ways to see if she could find a breakthrough to deal with Changsun Wuji. And she used to be a talented person in Taizong, and she knew everything about the makeup and living habits of Empress Changsun during her lifetime.

After half a month of building Tang Ying. Finally dressed her up as an infinitely close to the Empress of the Eldest Sun. However, the appearance is good and simulated, but the inner temperament cannot be learned at all. Wu Mei didn't care about this, no matter how Tang Ying looked at it, she was also a girl, she didn't have to learn to be graceful and luxurious, she just needed to call up the memories of the eldest grandson Wuji when he was young.

zuihou is checked by Li Zhi for the effect. He already had a bit of a mother-love complex, but when he saw Tang Ying, his eyes were about to turn away. He said that everything was flawless, but he should worry about whether the eldest grandson Wuji would fall in love with Tang Ying and forcibly go.

Wu Mei is not worried about this, according to her words, there are feelings and brothers and sisters, how can there be any thoughts.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The east wind is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. In the past, the emperor spent time with the concubines and heirs in the harem, and this time he specially invited all the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion to reward you for your great achievements.

Most of the heroes were very old, and they were afraid that they would be forgotten by the new emperor, so they all took the initiative to go with great interest. The eldest grandson Wuji has been in the court for many years, how could he not know that there must be something greasy about holding a banquet at this juncture, and eighty percent of it was held by Wu Mei in order to buy people's hearts. So he made up his mind that no matter what happened, he would never be moved or let go.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the banquet will be held in the Taiji Palace. The eldest grandson Wuji sat at the head of the courtiers and was closest to the emperor. He thought that Wu Mei would take the opportunity to show her status and sit next to Li Zhi, and he also prepared a sneer to make her feel good. Unexpectedly, she didn't show up. Only the emperor himself said some old words to soothe people's hearts, and he really didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

The other courtiers all drank and talked to their heart's content, but only the eldest grandson Wuji was tense and ready to deal with emergencies at any time. After three times of drinking, Li Zhi drunkenly proposed to call the musician to help the fun, and the performance was still the majestic "Qin King Breaking Array Music".

According to legend, this music was completed by Taizong and Empress Changsun, others didn't feel much, but Changsun Wuji liked it the most, and every time he listened to this song, he always reminded him of the high-spirited days decades ago.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "One day, I saw a woman dancing in the harem, and I secretly beat the beat in my heart, and it coincided with this song, so she was called to practice, and one day I danced for everyone to see, and this time I had a chance." The ministers who drank heartily were naturally full of interest in this, and the eldest grandson Wuji's heart beat faster after hearing this, and he always felt that this dancing person must not be so simple.

When Tang Ying stepped into the palace in a white and gold dress, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up in shock. He will not forget that the dress that Empress Changsun wore with Li Shimin into the Taiji Palace, although the colors are different, but the hairstyle, skirt robe, and even the lotus pattern embroidered on the corner of the skirt are also the same.

Tang Ying was painted with light makeup on her face, outlining her already stunning facial features more three-dimensional and exquisite. From the exclamations in the hall, she knew that her appearance was quite successful, but these were just foils, and the most important thing was the reaction of the eldest grandson Wuji. When Yu Guang caught a glimpse of him standing up, she was also excited in her heart, and she couldn't help but lower her head to hide her panic. Eldest Sun Wuji watched her walk closer and forward, as if the noisy sounds around her were gone, only his own heartbeat and his rapid breathing were left.

Tang Ying took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, raised his head, and smiled slightly towards him with a sweet to the extreme, and the pair of dimples were deeply engraved into his heart. In an instant, he seemed to go back to his youth, when he first asked his sister if she had a sweetheart, and at that time, her sister smiled so sweetly, and she was drunk.
