Chapter 101: The Couple Are in Love
Soon, Ning Xiang sent the teacups and tea cakes on silver plates into the study, and Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian sat on both sides of the table, playing chess intently while sipping tea.
Although it was under the pressure of his father Li Yuan that he reluctantly agreed to marry the eldest grandson Wujian and formed this family relationship with the eldest grandson family. However, since they got married, the two of them have really been in love with each other, and they have never blushed or made an awkward fuss.
Not only that, when Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin, went to Luoyang to crusade against Wang Shichong, the eldest grandson Wujian also accompanied his husband all the time, and even when he was in danger, he rode out of his horse and rescued him with extremely superb martial arts, so that he was able to turn the crisis into safety and achieve today's feat.
"Your Majesty, the concubine sent someone to visit Jie'er's sister in the temple a few days ago, and sent some silver taels and a few clothes as incense." At the end of the game, the eldest grandson Wujian looked up at Li Shimin and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he had never told anyone his whereabouts that day since he returned to the palace, so he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wujian would say what he just said. However, he also understands that as a good wife, the other party hopes that he can relax and help him lighten his burden.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but give birth to a deep sense of gratitude.
"Innocent, you are very thoughtful, so let's do it according to your wishes."
"Okay." The eldest grandson Wujian said with a smile, "The emperor can rest assured, although Sister Jie'er is now far away from the red dust, the sisterhood between the two of us is indeed true, and we should take care of each other in the future." ”
"Hmm."
Li Shimin bowed slightly, his eyes full of relief. No wonder others say that a good wife is a treasure in the family, and now it seems that it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
"Innocent, I came here today, and I have something to discuss with you." After a moment's hesitation, he said with a solemn expression.
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
When the eldest grandson Wujian saw that his husband said it so solemnly, he knew that it must be a great event. He instantly restrained his smile and said with a frown.
Li Shimin did not answer directly, but stood up and paced around the study twice. Under the stunned gaze of his wife, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said:
"Wuji, you also know that my Tang Dynasty court is newly established, although it seems to be thriving on the outside, but in fact, the foundation is not solid, and the slightest wind and grass will be turbulent. Therefore, I wonder if I can learn from the vigorous changes made by the Shang monarch during the Warring States Period? ”
Reform......?!
When the eldest grandson Wujian heard this, his heart couldn't help but move. As the queen, she has long known that her husband has always had lofty ambitions, and she will never be satisfied with the status quo, but will clear the obstacles and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that this change of law is really risky, and the results have always been good or bad, so the more you should act cautiously at this time.
"Of course, it is necessary to change the law, but there are mixed pros and cons. The concubines dared to persuade the emperor, it was better to look at the courtiers around them clearly first, and choose the real feasible person from them. Wouldn't it be better for them to push this matter forward with all their might? There was silence for a moment, and the eldest grandson said in a slow voice.
Li Shimin nodded, no wonder he said that his wife was smart, but just a simple word could bring a lot of points and play the role of four or two thousand pounds. So it is today.
"What Wujian said is extremely true, this matter really cannot be rushed, and it should be considered in the long run." He said convincingly.
The eldest grandson blinked his eyes, and then continued to ask: "Since the emperor wants to change the law, there should always be a candidate to be reused in his heart?" Can you talk to your concubines? ”
Li Shimin moved his gaze to the wall in front of him, as a generation of emperors, he knew that the stability of the Tang Dynasty was not only dependent on his own golden mouth and jade teeth, but more importantly, the concerted efforts of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces. It's just that after today's events, he was a little dazed for a while, and he hesitated about what he had determined before.
Although the eldest grandson Wujian didn't know his husband's thoughts, when he saw the melancholy expression on his face, he said again:
Although the concubines don't know why the emperor is worried, the so-called people's hearts are unpredictable, and the emperor does not need to ask the courtiers to think the same. If the concubine sees it, the Duke of Eguo, Fang Xiang, Du Xiang and Lord Wei should all be the people you rely on in this action. ”
Li Shimin lowered his head and thought seriously in his heart for a moment.
What my wife said is good, these people really have their own merits, and if they are used properly, they are indeed excellent. But he also knew that although these men were extremely loyal to him, they did not like each other, so if they wanted to be brought together, they needed to have a wise and courageous person who was far above them.
It would be nice if Yuan Fanxian was here......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his face was covered with a lonely expression.
"The concubines know what the emperor is worried about." Seeing her husband like this, the eldest grandson Wujian said quietly, "Although Mr. Yuan is important, his role is not beyond the reach of others. I heard that a few days ago, there was a new Imperial Heavenly Supervisor in the palace, I wonder if this person can be compared to Mr. Yuan? ”
When Li Shimin heard his wife's question, an extremely lively figure suddenly appeared in his mind, thinking of Shan Zhuokun's usual unworldly and unrestrained appearance, his face suddenly turned into a crying and laughing expression.
"What Wujian said is very true, this Master Shan is indeed a scene in the palace, this person has always been ignorant of the rules and does things according to his heart, so I have always just put it aside, and I want to wait for him to learn to converge."
When the eldest grandson Wujian heard Li Shimin's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he bowed to his husband.
"Innocent, what are you doing here?" Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Good and dignified, why do you want to worship me?" ”
The eldest grandson Wujian saw that her husband stretched out his hands to help him up, but he deliberately made a disobedient appearance and resolutely refused to get up.
"Wuji, you and I are husband and wife, this worship is really troublesome, you better get up and talk quickly." Li Shimin said helplessly, "I have already said that you are not only the queen of the Tang Dynasty, but also my wife." Even if everyone in the world wants to worship me, you are the only exception. ”
The eldest grandson said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines don't know your intentions, they just want to congratulate the emperor on his good talent." ”
"Good talent?" Li Shimin asked puzzledly, "What does Wujian mean that Shan Aiqing is a good talent?" But why do I always think he's a little flashy? ”
The eldest grandson stood up and persuaded him: "The emperor's words are wrong, as the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight. A person who doesn't understand the rules can only explain two things, one is that he is a mediocre person who does not learn and has no skills. The second is a good talent that is implicit but not revealed. When the concubine was chatting with Sister Zhifeng before, she heard her mention this Master Shan. If the concubine was not mistaken, he should be the latter. ”
"Sister Zhifeng mentioned it?" Li Shimin immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "Oh, what did our little county lord say?" ”
"Sister Zhifeng didn't say anything." The eldest grandson said with a smile, "She just talked about a lot of things in the past, Your Majesty, you also know that our little county lord is from the people, and he has more knowledge than those who are raised in the palace, since she said that this Lord Shan has the ability, then he must have some ability." ”
Li Shimin nodded happily, to be honest, since this Zhifeng County Lord entered the palace, he was really worried that he would not be able to get along well with others because he did not adapt to the changes in his living environment. Now it seems that he is indeed overthinking.
Of course, he also knew that Sister Zhifeng was able to integrate into the palace environment so quickly, and the eldest grandson must have played a vital role, so he said gratefully:
"Innocent, thank you for your hard work."
The eldest grandson Wujian stretched out his hand and grabbed her husband's hand, shook his head lightly and said: "The emperor is serious, as long as the Tang Dynasty is stable, it is worth it no matter how much you pay." The concubine said long before you ascended the throne that in this life I wish to live forever with you, life and death will go hand in hand, and this sentence will not change at any time. ”
"Together, life and death go hand in hand." Li Shimin was moved to stretch out his hand and take the eldest grandson Wujian into his arms, and sighed, "Wuji, do you know that although this is only a short eight words, it is so precious to me. I only want to be an ordinary couple with you in this life, and I can make the meaning of these words go to the extreme. ”
The eldest grandson leaned on her husband's side like a well-behaved bird, smiled and closed her eyes, feeling the strong love from the man she loved the most.
