"Plop la la la la!"

The white-feathered and red-eyed pigeon landed lightly on the windowsill in front of the merchant, and when Wu Meiniang raised her eyes, she saw Li Mo's hand stretched out to the well-behaved bird, and she did not shy away from pulling out a roll of paper from the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a few quick glances, he handed the note to the merchant.

Wu Meiniang lowered her head slightly, raised it after a while, and said with a smile: "The tea is cold, I'll go change a pot of hot one." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Mo and the businessmen to react, so he pushed open the door of the house and avoided it.

A large number of densely written on the paper were written, and the merchant swept it over, and when he raised his head, he only saw the shaking door curtain, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "She is really smart, but she also covered it up too much, and she didn't intend to avoid her, so it seems that we are not upright." ”

Li Mo smiled and didn't say anything.

He has always had reservations about Wu Meiniang, but because of Li Zhi, he doesn't want to interfere too much in his decision, but if he really finds out that Wu Meiniang has something wrong, he will definitely act without hesitation.

"Will the emperor go too far? The Wang family has a lot of power in the court, plus the other four surnames, if they really have the heart to embarrass the emperor, they must be a little difficult to support the eldest grandson. ”

The merchant casually put the paper on the table, shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully.

Queen Wang united with her relatives to make a move against Wu Meiniang without hesitation, which seemed to her to be a bit reckless. But the Wang family has always regarded itself as a family, and its identity is stubborn and untamable, so it is reasonable to do such a thing.

Li Zhi's ensuing reaction was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Wang family.

Although she has had several encounters with Queen Wang, Shangshang doesn't know much about Wang Renyou, so she can't tell whether Wang Renyou will fight back immediately or make compromises.

"Probably not." Li Mo was silent for a long time and shook his head.

"Wang Renyou has been knighted as the Duke of Wei, and he is extremely noble, with this person's sleek sophistication, coupled with the fact that now there is Enke in front, he should not tear his face with the emperor at this time, it can be seen from the fact that he secretly sent someone to search for Wu Meiniang instead of confronting the emperor with a clear knife and a gun, he should still have some scruples."

Shang Shang nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

Li Mo smiled: "It's not a wish, it's like this." Look at it, in a few days, when the emperor decides to take the main exam, this person will definitely jump out and compete with Lord Xu. ”

Shang Shang said strangely: "Didn't you say that Lord Yu has already decided to take the main exam?" ”

Li Mo waved his hand, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, the tea soup was already cold, only his mouth was full of bitterness.

"That's just the emperor's internal decision, and the decree has not yet been issued, and everything is still unknown."

If Li Zhi's Enke can really be promoted as he thinks, it will undoubtedly give a great impetus to the development of Datang, but resistance will inevitably appear at the same time.

If these problems cannot be properly solved, then the centralization of power to the central government will become an empty word, and Li Zhi will become more and more difficult, isn't Li Mo worried?

"Mo, you...... Do you want to go back to Chang'an? The merchant looked at Li Mo who was calm in front of him with some hesitation, and he was a little unsure of his thoughts.

This period is an important period of transition, and Li Zhi may need his support and help.

Li Mo stretched out his arms, stretched his waist, and leaned lazily on the couch again, with a faint expression on his face, as if the discussion with Shang Shang just now was just a few jokes in his spare time.

"The emperor has his own way, so I don't need to worry about it."

If Li Zhi can't even deal with Wang Renyou, then he is not the Li Zhi he knows!

The merchant looked at Li Mo uncertainly, and for a long time, he smiled reassuringly.

"Whatever you say is what you say! It's a big deal, if it really doesn't work, just open a few more imperial examinations, anyway, you will use all the scholars in the world for your Li family. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the scar on his face softened at this moment.

The merchant rolled his eyes helplessly, and then laughed.

Anyway, since Li Mo decided not to wade into this troubled water, there must be his reasons. Although Li Zhi has not been on the throne for a long time, he has also been the crown prince for all these years, and it is impossible for the court to be without its own group of forces, and it should not be difficult to get the position of the chief examiner of the imperial examination now, right?

Wu Meiniang carried a pot of hot water and stood under the porch, and she could hear that there was no more whispering in the room, so she opened the door curtain unhurriedly, as if she hadn't heard anything, and smiled and replaced the tea soup in Li Mo and Shangshang's cups with hot water.

In Wu Meiniang's puzzled eyes, the merchant naturally pushed the paper on the table in front of her.

Just at a glance, Wu Meiniang saw the content on the paper clearly, and the smile on her face became a little solemn, and the look in her eyes couldn't tell whether she was happy or dazed.

"The emperor's meaning is already very clear, Mei Niang! You have to make up your mind. Shang Shang looked at Wu Meiniang's complicated eyes, and the sigh in his faint tone was obvious.

In the Taiji Palace after the New Year, the atmosphere is still strange, and even the willow branches and buds that should be green by the Taiye Pool seem to be suppressed, and they refuse to spit out a trace of green.

Li Zhi's deliberate neglect for days made the air in the Zhaoyang Hall heavier and heavier.

Queen Wang's original gentle and dignified temperament finally became vanished under such pressure, and for several days, some palace people were punished for touching the mold.

Although the rules in the harem in the Tang Dynasty were not as strict as those in later generations, the staff was not easy to handle, and if you beat down the board, you would lose half your life if you didn't die! For a while, everyone was silent, and even the peach branch who was waiting beside the queen turned white. was scared, for fear that something would go wrong, so that the somewhat neurotic queen Wang caught the mistake and caused a beating.

Compared with the hysterical queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu's days in the palace are really beautiful.

Since the thirtieth day, the emperor has stayed in her palace, and until the fifth day of the first month, the Taimiao Temple has been opened, and the emperor is still very fond of her, and his attachment has not changed.

The various rewards that flowed into the Phi Xiang Palace made the concubines of each palace hot for a while, and they rushed to the door of the Phi Xiang Hall for a while, hoping to have a chance encounter with the emperor, and it was good that the rain and dew were all wet.

The rumors in the Taiji Palace were very loud for a while, and the father and brother of Concubine Xiao Shu, who had to be an official in the court, were not so respectful when they saw Wang Renyou.

Thinking of the complicated things during this period of time, Wang Renyou had a headache, and he was no longer in the mood to quarrel with Concubine Xiao's family, and when he got the news from the palace, his face was already blue.

Wang Renyou never felt that it was inappropriate to send people to surround Wu Meiniang, and he never thought that Li Zhi would warn him in this way.

Yes! It's a warning! And it's not just a warning! There was also a sinister punch, waiting in front of him, just waiting for him to crash into himself, and his head was bleeding.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the emperor sacrificed the Taimiao to open the seal, and the first thing was to elect Enke to take the main examination among the ministers of the DPRK and China. The eldest grandson Wuji, as Zaifu, first put forward the proposal of ordering Suiliang to be the main examiner, and the court immediately echoed it.

When it comes to identity and qualifications, as a famous calligrapher, Yu Suiliang undoubtedly has a very high reputation among the people of Shilin, and in the court, as the right servant of Shangshu, he has incomparable political qualifications, which makes the position of the chief examiner of Enke seem to be a position tailored for him.

And Wang Renyou's troubles are also here!

The big clans of the family have occupied the most rich resources of the Jingyi subset and other cultures for many years, but the long-term rigid thinking has made it rare for these big families to appear amazing and brilliant figures, and among the officials of the family in the middle of the court, there are basically no people who can compete with Yu Suiliang with the identity recognized by the scholars.

This put Wang Renyou in a situation where no one was available, and Queen Wang's passivity in the middle palace put him in a dilemma.

At this time, even the treacherous and cunning Wang Renyou had to admit the emperor's insidiousness: he was obviously using this opportunity to pressure him to find an opportunity for the woman to enter the palace, and although Wang Renyou knew it, he couldn't oppose it.

Otherwise, their family will be completely defeated in this Enke, and will be excluded by the latest generation of civil officials, military attachés are the part they cannot intervene in, if even the civil officials have to be replaced with the eyes and ears of the Li family, then the family will not be far from being slaughtered!

Li Zhi, who had dispersed, was in a very good mood and took Xiao Chengzi to walk in the willow forest next to the Taiye Pool.

Although there is not half a cent of green on the willow branches, the ice cubes in the pool that have long since melted also indicate the arrival of spring, and occasionally, Li Zhi can still hear the chirping of birds.

A young little yellow door came all the way along the edge of the Taiye Pool, and when he saw Li Zhi, who was leisurely looking at the water in the pavilion, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! Wei Guogong asked to see him. ”

"Xuan!" Li Zhi casually took a piece of the jujube paste peach kernel cake on the table and put it in his mouth, and said lightly.

"Xuan Wei Gong Visit."

With the announcement of the farther and farther out, the leisurely expression on Li Zhi's face completely faded, and was replaced by a seemingly mild indifference.

"The minister Wang Renyou sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Wang Renyou, the Duke of Wei, who stepped into the pavilion behind Xiao Huangmen, flicked the hem of his shirt and knelt down at Li Zhi, who was sitting upright, without hesitation.

"Wei Guogong is exempt." Li Zhi raised his hand to help him, and Xiao Chengzi, who was standing behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Wang Renyou.

"Little Chengzi, give a seat." Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Chengzi to add a position beside him.

"Emperor Xie!" Wang Renyou thanked the emperor for the reward, and then he took a stand and sat down.

"Wei Guogong is here, why is it here?" Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the old man who followed the palace without changing his court clothes.

The somewhat gray hair was meticulously tied in the crown, and with his movements, it was tapped from time to time. Those shrewd eyes flickered in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhi laughed silently, it seems...... It's not all for nothing to put pressure on yourself! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
