Chapter 460: Chongxi
If Wu Youji listened to Princess Taiping's words at the scene, it is estimated that he would have banged his head against the wall in wrong.
Among the people of the Wu clan, Wu Youji is an honest pimple
Wu Zetian planned to remarry Princess Taiping to someone from the Wu family, but since Wu Chenghei was not suitable, her eyes fell on Wu Youji. In other words, it was not Wu Youji who took the initiative to marry Princess Taiping at all, but was forced to be helpless. What's more, Wu Youji already has a wife, and the two are very affectionate. In order to allow Princess Taiping to marry Wu Youji smoothly, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to execute Wu Youji's wife.
So, under Wu Zetian's arrangement, Princess Taiping remarried Wu Youji less than a year after Xue Shao's death. Wu Youji has a weak personality, and he can only swallow his anger in the face of Princess Taiping, knowing that Taiping raises male pets, and he doesn't dare to be angry.
Princess Taiping said it for so long, and Li Chongrun sighed when she heard it. It was originally the country of the Tang Dynasty, but the Wu clan was a sword, and the Li Tang royal family was slaughtered for fish and meat, isn't it sad?
I thought that Princess Taiping had been talking for so long and it was time to end, but who knew that Princess Taiping was still unsatisfied, and then said: "In stark contrast to the suppression of the Li Tang clan, most of the children of the martial arts family have been crowned kings or county kings. ”
Li Chongrun was patient and listened carefully.
Princess Taiping came one by one: "Wei Wang Wu Chenghe, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, Jianchang Wang Wu Youning, Qiancheng County Wang Wu Youji, Linchuan County Wang Wu Sizong, Hanoi County Wang Wu Yizong, Jian'an County Wang Wu Youyi, Huiji County Wang Wu Youwang, Anping County Wang Wu Youxu, Jiujiang Wang Wu Yougui, Gaoping Wang Wu Chonggui, Yingchuan Wang Wu Zaide, Nanyang Wang Wu Yanji, Huaiyang Wang Wu Yanxiu, Gaoyang Wang Wu Chongxun, Xin'an Wang Wu Chonglie, Si Chen Wang Wu Yanhui, Xian'an Wang Wu Yanzuo...... There are no less than 30 people! ”
Li Chongrun secretly thought: No wonder, the Li Tang clan was suppressed, and the Wu clan wantonly crowned the king.
"It's just a king, the key is that these people are mediocre talents, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi have all been prime ministers, but they haven't been for too long, why? Because they don't have that ability. Princess Taiping paused suddenly and asked, "Do you know why His Majesty took your father back?" ”
Li Chongrun shook his head honestly.
"With the strong support of His Majesty, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi can't even be prime ministers, so after Your Majesty dies, even if they inherit the throne, it is impossible for them to face a group of ministers who support the Li Tang clan alone." Princess Taiping sighed, "So, Your Majesty is helpless to take your father back!" Although your father is the crown prince, the entire court is controlled by the Wu clan, and he is also struggling! ”
Thinking about his father's situation, Li Chongrun's mood was a little heavy, and he nodded unconsciously: "I understand!" Thank you aunt for your teachings! ”
"Do you know Emperor Xuan of Han?" Princess Taiping suddenly asked again.
"Yes!"
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun, was imprisoned as an infant and was raised by a female nurse, and experienced hardships in the process of growing up. After ascending the throne, he seized the opportunity to eradicate the Huo family and grasp the power of the court. He rectified the rule of officials internally, punished corruption, and lightened the burden of the people; Surrender the Xiongnu to the outside world, break the Western Qiang, and achieve stability in the Western Regions. With his efforts, the Western Han Dynasty, which had already gone downhill, ushered in an era of Zhongxing.
Princess Taiping said meaningfully: "Brother Run, I hope you can become the Han Xuan of my Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”
After that, Princess Taiping got up, and Ying Ying gave Li Chongrun a salute: "Please!" ”
Princess Taiping is Li Chongrun's elder, her move made Li Chongrun panic, Li Chongrun hurriedly went to help Princess Taiping: "Auntie, please get up quickly, Chongrun can't afford it!" ”
When he left Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Chongrun's heart was in turmoil.
Li Chongrun still had a little doubt about Princess Taiping's words today, and Princess Taiping's passion and eloquence left a deep impression on him. He hopes that someone can guide him to be able to distinguish right from wrong in the world, and explain black and white, so that he will not be as confused and frightened as he is.
Wherever there is a crack in the wall, the wind comes in.
Princess Taiping accurately grasped Li Chongrun's weakness, she knew very well that what she said had planted a seed in Li Chongrun's heart, and once Li Chongrun recognized this statement, this kind of seed would definitely take root one day in the future.
……
Since Li Xian returned to the imperial capital, Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei, has been ill, and during this time he has neither been to the court nor to see Wu Zetian, but his condition has deteriorated.
Wu Zetian was relieved that Wu Chenghei was not relieved, so he came to visit the Wei Wangfu with Shangguan Wan'er.
Seeing Wu Chengsi on the bed, Wu Zetian couldn't help but be taken aback.
Wu Chenghe's breath was like a gossamer, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were closed, his face was blue and gray, and his cheekbones were high and provish. The whole body has shrunk, thin and haggard, obviously terminally ill, how can there be the demeanor of the past.
Wu Zetian frowned and asked Wu Yanji on the side: "What did the imperial doctor say after reading it?" ”
Wu Yanji replied with a crying voice: "The imperial doctor said that my father had an old disease, but because of the accumulation of depression in his heart, he had added a new illness, and he was dazed and had no desire to survive. If you don't get rid of the heart disease, I'm afraid it won't be long in coming. ”
Illness arises from the heart, and it must be eliminated by the heart.
For so many years, Wu Chengsi has been staring at the position of the crown prince, wanting to become the prince and then become the emperor. Therefore, Wu Zetian did his best to please him, and the absolute authority of Wu Zetian was specially established by the big tree, and he presented her with a series of honorific titles such as "Ci's Yue Ancient Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor", and based on "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has not taken a different surname as his heir", he did everything possible to drill the crown prince and persecute the kings of the Li family with cool officials.
Wu Zetian was strongly dissuaded by many ministers and defended his own interests, and after a long and painful choice, he finally recalled Li Xian, who was exiled in Fangzhou, and made him the crown prince.
This move was tantamount to a blow to Wu Chenghe, so he was furious, his liver and intestines were broken, and he was anxious and depressed. Book bar
Of course, Wu Zetian knew what Wu Chenghe's heart disease was, but Li Xian had already become the crown prince, how could he give him the crown prince in order to relieve Wu Chenghe's heart disease?
At this moment, Xingwu Zetian couldn't help but look down on Wu Chenghei a little.
Without a cold bone, where can the plum blossoms be fragrant. In life, sometimes we have to endure the hardships we must go through before we have the opportunity to get the blessings we want.
After Taizong's death, Wu Zetian and many concubines were sent to Ganye Temple to become monks. The life of being a nun is naturally not easy, food, clothing, and use are not as good as in the palace, and what is even more unbearable is loneliness and bleak future.
However, Wu Zetian persevered, persevered for three years, and finally turned over.
If there was no three years of persistence in Ganye Temple, how could there be the current Great Zhou Dynasty?
The hurdles that Wu Chengsi is encountering now are nothing compared to the hardships that Wu Zetian endured back then.
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly became a little interested.
Whether it is the Wu family or the Li clan. None of this group of big men made Wu Zetian look at them.
In this world, there will be no second Wu Meiniang.
After a few words of advice to Wu Yanji, Wu Zetian left the Wei Palace's palace and went back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Wu Zetian frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Shangguan Wan'er knew that His Majesty was worried about Wu Chenghe's condition, and he didn't dare to disturb her.
After a while, Wu Zetian asked coldly: "Wan'er, tell me, is it feasible to let the king of Nanyang get married as soon as possible and rejoice for the king of Wei?" ”
"Chongxi?" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned when she heard this, and she dared to love Wu Zetian who had been thinking about Chongxi.
The so-called chong joy is generally when the man or the man's elders are critically ill and want to use the wedding joy to save the difficulty, "one joy overwhelms a thousand disasters", in order to let the patient get rid of bad luck and recover his health.
The ancients believed that the reason why people are sick or sick for a long time is because of some kind of fierce gods, through marrying the bride, using drums and music to make noise, worship heaven and earth, strengthen the righteousness and prestige, let the gods of joy wash away the evil spirit and disease, suppress the evil with good fortune, suppress the evil with joy, and make the sick overcome the evil with the divine power of great luck and great joy, and turn the danger into safety.
This custom was popular among the people, but there was no precedent in the royal family.
Seeing Wu Zetian's determined expression, Shangguan Wan'er knew that His Majesty had already made up her mind in her heart, and she just wanted to be recognized when she asked herself.
"That's a good idea! Maybe King Wei can really turn the corner from danger! But......" Shangguan Wan'er's voice changed, "where can I find this bride?" ”
Due to the special circumstances, "Chongxi" generally does not choose a day, and the wedding is also simple. But in any case, there has to be a bride.
"Bride, there's ready-made!" Wu Zetian obviously had a plan in his heart, "Lord Yongtai and Lord Anle have all reached the age of marriage, I think it is okay to choose one between the two of them!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er listened to it, and had to admire His Majesty's foresight.
Nominally, he asked Li Xian's daughter to marry Wu Yanji Chongxi, but in fact, Wu Zetian wanted Li Xian to marry Wu Chenghei, which was tantamount to the continuation of the Mingtang oath.
"Your Majesty is still thoughtful, this matter has to be discussed with the prince first!" Shangguan Wan'er cautiously reminded.
Wu Zetian bowed slightly.
Complaining is complaining, Wu Zetian still has to do what he has to do, even if it is just to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.
……
After sending Zhang Yizhi away, Li Xian immediately summoned Wei's sons and daughters together.
"What? Let Xianhui or Bao'er marry the king of Nanyang? After listening to Li Xian, Wei couldn't help but be stunned.
Not only Wei, but also Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui, brothers and sisters, were also stunned by this sudden news.
Zhang Yizhi is His Majesty's pillow person, on the surface, he made a special trip to report to Li Xianlai, but it wasn't His Majesty who said what she meant through Zhang Yizhi's mouth.
Li Xian knows her mother too well, as long as she makes a decision, she can only follow it, how can you allow you to discount it?
Li Xian glanced at Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er sisters. glanced at Webster again: "Hurry up and make a decision, I will get married in three days, the time is very tight!" ”
