Chapter 53: Separation

If Li Mo and the others under Jiuzhi Mountain are already idle and comfortable with the rain at this time, then the queen in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an is only left with a tense atmosphere of mountain rain coming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ever since Mrs. Wei entered the palace to see her own daughter, Empress Wang, the entire queen's bedroom fell into a strange tension.

For a few days, Queen Wang was in a trance, her previously slender figure was rapidly losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her cheeks, which were not very plump, became bloodless, and sometimes the staring eyes also made the peach branch who was waiting beside her tremble.

The queen's state is obviously impossible to hide, and Taozhi had no choice but to send someone to report to the emperor.

Li Zhi, who got the news, came quickly, but the bright yellow court clothes were dazzling in the sun, and it was almost impossible to see the expression on his face.

After a general instruction of Wen Tuoshui, Li Zhi left the queen's dormitory without looking back, and then enjoyed all kinds of palace satins, treasures and a large number of medicinal materials like flowing water, which made Taozhi, who was a little suspicious of the queen's fall from grace, breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: The emperor still respects the queen.

However, the opposite of Momozhi's thoughts is the queen who knows it.

The words that her own mother brought into the palace that day really scared her a lot!

Although she was jealous of the enchanting woman in the Ganye Temple who took away Li Zhi's attention, but as a female streamer and everyone's daughter, she has been familiar with the "Female Commandment" since she was a child, and even the ten volumes of "Female Rules" compiled by the eldest grandson Empress are also backwards, so even if she is dissatisfied with Li Zhi, she has never thought of harming people's lives.

And my father did such a reckless thing! This made her confused all of a sudden, and the cold face under the golden dazzling robe when Li Zhi came to visit her made her even more frightened.

Where were those eyes staring straight at her concerned about her condition? It's just a warning to her: I've seen through your tricks! Do you want to keep playing?

As the rich rewards were carried into the dormitory one by one, the queen could no longer pretend to be sick, even if fear was about to completely overwhelm her, she had to force herself to make a motherly appearance.

It's just that the atmosphere in the palace is getting more and more weird, and there are more and more palace people who are to blame at every turn, and in just a few days, there are more than 20 convicted palace maids in the palace, all of whom have been confiscated as cheap servants.

The rumors in the palace did not affect Li Zhi in the Ganlu Hall at all, and when he heard Xiao Chengzi's return, he only chuckled twice.

Since Queen Wang wants to plan for her mother's family, she now looks like she found it herself, and she is no different.

At the beginning, his father hired the daughter of the Wang family as his concubine for him, just because of her noble status, but if this prominent status one day becomes a capital that threatens his status, then presumably his father will not mind if he reaches out and uproots it.

At the beginning, Wang Renyou was behind the scenes to support Wu Wang Li Ke, he was clear, and now he saw that Wu King Li Ke was hopeless from Shu Yuan, but he looked back and remembered that his legitimate son-in-law was today, is it too late?

"Leave her alone, let her go." Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Chengzi to retreat.

"Your Majesty! Lord Yu asked to see him outside. Xiao Chengzi bowed down and whispered.

"Announce him in!" Li Zhi put down the half-read official document in his hand and looked out of the hall.

Hearing the call, Yu Suiliang was dressed in a purple Datuanhua official uniform, with a gold and jade belt around his waist and a goldfish bag, and walked into the inner hall behind the inner attendant.

After the chamberlain retreated and bowed, Yu Suiliang sat down diagonally on the small pestle brought by the palace maid.

"What is the matter with Yu Qing seeking to see here?" Li Zhi looked at the good way in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the palace exam will be in the near future, and the minister is just here to ask the emperor, can the exam questions for the palace exam be prepared?" Yu Suiliang replied.

It is a major matter of the country to open a branch of science, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all, and there are many eyes and ears in the court, so Yu Suiliang did not bring it up.

This time, most of the scholars from the poor family accounted for most of them, which was also what made Yu Suiliang extremely satisfied, thinking of those young people who were born poor but striving to improve, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

"I have already made up my mind on this matter, so don't worry about it." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Regarding the test questions for the palace examination, in fact, Li Zhi had already drawn it up, and he didn't want to bring it up in the court, but he just didn't want those people from the big families to hear the news in advance.

He has also read some of the answers of the children of the family, and some of them still have some talents, but most of them are just melancholy, which shows how corrupted those big clans have been now! Monopolizing Shilin's scripture resources but only learning to be like this three-legged cat, I don't have to spoil the things of my ancestors!

"The Emperor Shengming!" When Yu Suiliang heard Li Zhi say this, his heart was settled, and he suddenly remembered that he accidentally heard a message from the Ministry of Etiquette before entering the palace, so he said again: "Your Majesty! When the old minister entered the palace, he accidentally heard that the emperor sent the envoy to Tubo a few years ago, Lord Liu and his entourage, somehow broke off contact after entering the territory of Tubo, and the Ministry of Rites had already sent the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs to inquire about this matter. ”

Li Zhiluo raised his eyebrows, although the sending of people to Tubo this time is just a general political and cultural exchange, but after all, it represents the face of the Tang Dynasty, if something really happens in Tubo, if it is not done well, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and I think that Tubo Zampu should not act rashly, then the disappearance of this pedestrian is somewhat intriguing.

"Hmmm! I already know, what else is going on with Yu Qing? Li Zhi nodded.

"Everything is done, and the old minister has retired." Seeing that the purpose of coming here had been achieved, Yu Suiliang did not stay for a long time, and withdrew after bidding farewell to Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi didn't expect that it was the accidental death of the envoy in Tubo that brought such a big variable to the later Li Tang, and the damage caused even made the descendants of the Li family extremely withered and almost extinct!

Lijiazhuang under Jiuzhi Mountain is a large village courtyard covering an area of nearly ten acres, the whole village courtyard is divided into the main courtyard and four cross-courtyards in the southeast and northwest, the main courtyard now lives in the patriarch's family of the Li family, the patriarch's son-in-law is often in Li Mo and the businessmen and businessmen walk around Li Da, the east courtyard lives in the patriarch's brother-in-law family of more than ten people and waiting in front of the maid ring servants, the south courtyard is the largest, but the Li clan side branch, although it is a lot of people but it is still a safe duty, the north courtyard is the outer courtyard steward and rough girl, servants, guards' residence, only the west courtyard is the guest house, Now it is given to Li Mo and three people to live.

The twelve guards who arrived with Li Yan are now living in a small courtyard separated by a wall from Li Mo and the three of them, so as to facilitate the nearby guards.

With a large number of maids and servants in Lijiazhuang, the merchants were idle, except for occasionally cooking some side dishes that Li Mo loved to eat, and the rest of the miscellaneous things were handed over to the waiting girls.

Because he thought that the green sleeves were pregnant, and his needlework was just average, so in addition to accompanying Li Mo to practice swordsmanship every day, he went to find a woman who was excellent in needlework in Zhuangzi, learned to embroider patterns, and made small clothes.

Since Wu Meiniang listened to Li Mo's words, thinking about learning talisman kung fu, she also kept following the businessman, and after ten days in a row, she also learned a similar look, although the strength is not enough, but the posture is quite capable of bluffing.

Li Mo saw the merchants in the Zhuangzi every day busy coming and going, but he looked like an idler, and he couldn't help but feel funny, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, he just felt that the merchants were smiling like this every day was very cute.

Whenever he saw her with a smile like a spring sun and asked him if he looked good, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering.

Sometimes I even think that I don't know when I can have such a villain with the businessman, and let the businessman cut small clothes for him. When he was older, he took him to play, read, read and practice swordsmanship, and listened to him call himself in a sweet children's voice, "Daddy!" ”

"Childe!" Li Yan looked at Li Mo with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked at the book in his hand blankly, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What?" was interrupted by Li Yan's thoughts, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he turned around, but when he turned his head, he saw the letterhead in Li Yan's hand.

"Letter from the palace." Li Yan handed the letter sealed with fire paint in his hand to Li Mo and took half a step back.

Li Mo took the letterhead, tore open the seal and looked at it for a moment, frowning slightly.

"Does the person who sent the letter have an explanation?"

"No, the letter was delivered and turned back." Li Yan looked at Li Mo inexplicably.

Fold the paper in his hand and put it in the envelope again, Li Mo raised his head and stood silently for a moment, then turned to Li Yan and said, "You go and invite Miss Wu over." ”

"Yes!" Li Yan left in response.

But after half a moment, Li Mo heard footsteps outside the door, and when he raised his eyes, it was the businessman and Wu Meiniang who came together and entered the room together.

The merchant casually found a spring stool and sat down, looked at Li Mo and said, "I saw that you asked Li Yan to invite Mei Niang to come over, so I also followed, but what happened?" ”

Wu Meiniang was wearing a bearded suit with arrow sleeves, and some sweat stains could be seen on the slightly open neckline, presumably she was practicing the protective skills passed on to her by the merchants, and at this time, she heard the businessmen's inquiries and also set her eyes on Li Mo.

"The emperor came up and wrote that Enke was about to finish, and the palace test would be posted the day after tomorrow, and then the officials would be elected, and he wanted to take advantage of the officials' release test, and the Wang family would take care of it, and take the Wu girl to the Wu family in Luoyang, so as to prepare for the selection after the removal of the service."

There was no emotion in Li Mo's tone, he was already clear about Li Zhi's intentions, but he didn't expect him to pick at this time, he had just experienced an assassination, and it was still a question whether Wu Meiniang had the courage to go on the road alone.

"At this time?" Sure enough, hearing Li Mo's words, not only Wu Meiniang, but even the businessmen frowned.

She heard Li Mo's plan mentioned by Li Mo, although the method is a good method, but is the timing too bad?

"The Wang family's favor test, only eight people were selected, and the release test of the officials is a vague system, if the Wang family wants to take advantage of the selection of officials, these days have to be dotted up and down the officials, but I am afraid that there is really no time to take care of the affairs of the martial girl, and the emperor proposed to send the martial girl away at this time, which is not too bad." Li Mo thought about it and said Li Zhi's thoughts.

Wu Meiniang listened to Li Mo's explanation and slowly lowered her head, the assassination that night really made her feel palpitations, but Jiuzhi Mountain is not a place to stay for a long time. Li Mo and Shang Shang will also leave after keeping filial piety, let alone her, and it is only a matter of time before they leave.
