Chapter 877: Turmoil in the Government and the Opposition
Li You glared and said: "You women, you are not small, you dare to interfere in politics behind my back, and if you don't teach you a lesson today, it seems that it will not work." ”
For so many years, Li You has never scolded the ladies, not even a word of reproach, and today he looks a little frightened when he is angry, and it seems that he is really angry.
The ladies knew they were wrong, and bowed their heads as if they were willing to be punished.
Li You said: "I'm all standing up and lining up." ”
The ladies were obedient and lined up in the order they entered.
Li You stood up, came to Xiao Wanyu first, and said, "Raise your head." ”
Xiao Wanyu didn't know what he was going to do, and she was a little scared, but she was the eldest sister and wanted to take the lead, so she obediently raised her face and closed her eyes, ready to accept the punishment.
Li You kissed Xiao Wanyu's delicate cheek fiercely and asked, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wanyu was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to make her own decisions in the future." ”
When the women saw this scene, they immediately smiled, and one by one they took the initiative to raise their faces, giggling and waiting for Li You's punishment.
Li You's wives are all outstanding, they are all his good helpers, this time out of concern for their husbands, accidentally made a mistake, since they themselves know that they are wrong, they will not make the same mistake again in the future, Li You has no need to blame them at all.
The ladies are Li You's favorites, his closest relatives in this world, and Li You can sacrifice his life for them. Besides, Li You, as a powerful husband who stands up to the sky, has not yet been so bad that he will punish his wives who love him deeply after he encounters difficulties.
Pei Dilan and Murong Bo had already heard about Murong Ling and Reina, and from the perspective of a politician, they also felt that they were not doing right, but Li You wanted to punish them for this, and as brothers, they were also a little worried, so they rushed over and prepared to intercede for them.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they heard the sound of swallows and warblers inside, and they laughed. The two laughed and left.
Then, Li You went to the East Palace.
Li Chengqian ordered no one to come near the study, and people couldn't hear what was being said inside, but they seemed to have an argument, and the noise was very loud.
Not long after, Li You came out, seemed very unhappy with a straight face, and left with his hands behind his back. After a while, Li Chengqian also came out, also with a straight face, and walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
When Zhan Shi Huang Zhongyu heard the news, he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that Li Chengqian and Li You had fallen out, it seemed that his treasure was right, and since then he Huang Zhongyu has become Li Chengqian's confidant, and Huang Tengda is just around the corner. He really wanted to go and give Li Chengqian ideas, but he was also very smart, knowing that Li Chengqian was angry at this time, he seemed a little too deliberate at this time, so he patiently waited for Li Chengqian's summons.
Soon after, the news of the contradiction between Li Chengqian and Li You spread widely, and there was a shock between the government and the opposition.
This matter is too serious, the situation of the court has just changed, the change of dynasty has not yet been completed, and it is at this moment when people's hearts are unstable, but there is a disagreement between the two main figures today, which is likely to cause the court to fall apart.
Li You is also very helpless, in order to maintain the situation of the court, he has made a lot of efforts, and has also made concessions and compromises. For example, the actions of Li Ke and Cen Wenwen and others actually belong to the category of rebellion, and Li You did not hold them accountable in order to stabilize the overall situation.
Li You worked hard to finally transfer power to Li Chengqian relatively smoothly, but he did not expect that a conflict would arise between him and Li Chengqian so soon.
At present, the war with the Japanese slave country is already on the line, and in this case, Li You's departure from Chang'an is really worrying.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou, Zhang Liang, Wei Chigong, Gao Jingming, Yan Liben, Xiao Dongchang and other important officials of the court and the central government were nervous, and they came to Li Chengqian and Li You one after another, trying to persuade them to resolve the conflict.
Patriotic Mansion.
Li Ji came to visit Li Jing, and he said worriedly: "Master, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King have a dispute, the current situation is unstable, and a big war is imminent, once His Royal Highness the Northwest King leaves Chang'an, I am afraid that the situation will change, how can this be good?" ”
Li Ji's worries are not superfluous, although Li Shimin has taken a back seat at this moment, he is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who are loyal to him between the government and the opposition. Only when Li Chengqian and Li You join forces will it be possible to control the government, and once there is a split between them, it is not impossible for Li Shimin's ability and influence to regain control of the situation.
Moreover, at such a critical moment, Li You still has to leave Chang'an, isn't this an obvious opportunity to give people to take advantage of?
"It seems that Li Chengqian and Li You are still young." Li Jing sighed in his heart.
He continued: "Master, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has great respect for you, do you want to remind him personally?" ”
Li Jing didn't seem to be worried, he said: "Mao Gong, don't be impatient, wait and see, drink tea with me first." ”
Li Ji trusted Li Jing very much, and when he saw that he was not in a hurry, his heart also settled down, and he accompanied Li Jing to drink tea and chat.
East Palace.
When Zhang Xuansu heard about this, he was so anxious that he hurriedly ran to the East Palace. He first came to the study, and met Huang Zhongyu head-on, he asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" ”
Huang Zhongyu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went back to the backyard, Master Zhang, His Royal Highness is in a bad mood, I advise you not to disturb him." ”
Zhang Xuansu didn't care so much, and walked directly towards the backyard.
Huang Zhongyu looked at Zhang Xuansu's back, smug for a while, and said in his heart: "You don't know what's going on at all, you want to persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, it's purely boring." ”
Sure enough, Zhang Xuansu went not long ago, and came back angrily. Zhang Xuansu was blocked, and before him, the eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling and others also came, but they didn't see Li Chengqian.
Lizheng Palace.
After Li Tai's death, Empress Changsun was depressed for a long time, and after she recovered a little, she spent most of her time with Li Shimin, who was even more depressed.
Empress Changsun did not feel disappointed about the changes in the court situation, although Li Shimin had taken a back seat, Li Chengqian, who came to power, was also her own son, and had no impact on her status. Li Shimin is a strong person, but Li Chengqian is afraid of Empress Changsun, and from this point of view, her status has been improved.
After Li Chengqian served as the supervisor of the state, Empress Changsun paid great attention to him and hoped that he could sit firmly in this position, but fortunately, with Li You helping Li Chengqian, Empress Changsun was much more relieved.
A conflict suddenly arose between Li Chengqian and Li You, and the contradiction became public, which made Empress Changsun very worried. What she is most afraid of is that once there is a rift between Li Chengqian and Li You, her Tyrannosaurus rex husband is very likely to make a comeback. If that were the case, the father and son would surely be involved in a life-and-death struggle, and at least one of them would be put to death.
Empress Changsun said to her personal maid Hai'an: "You personally go and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to come to see me immediately." ”
Northwest Palace.
"Whoa." There was a noise in Li You's study, accompanied by laughter.
Li You, Hamid, Pei Dilan and Murong Bo are playing mahjong.
There was no mahjong in the Tang Dynasty, and mahjong was invented by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty.
When Zheng He went to the West, there was no entertainment equipment on the ship, and the soldiers on the ship could only throw dice and gamble as a pastime. But in the long voyage, the soldiers got tired of it, and there were often soldiers who were homesick, and even tried to rebel, trying to kill Zheng He and them, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zheng He invented an entertainment tool.
Based on playing cards, tooth cards, pai gow, etc., Zheng He carved 1-9 "strips" with more than 100 small pieces of wood as the brand, and organized them with a fleet, and then carved 1-9 "buckets" (tubes) respectively based on the number of fresh water barrels on the ship. Then, according to the wind direction, the four wind directions of "east, west, north and south" were engraved. and engraved 1-9 "thousand" with attractive money. And then with the slogan of "Great China Glory Soldiers Exotic". Engraved red "in", and then carved four flower cards according to the four seasons of the year, and finally there is a card that does not know what to engrave, do not engrave anything, this is the "blank slate".
The first time to play is Zheng He, deputy marshal, general, Zheng He's wife (eunuchs can also marry wives) four people play together, and finally determine the rules of the game, the whole ship began to play this game, there is a general surnamed Ma on the ship, he plays this game handy, so Zheng He named this game "Ma Da General Card", that is, the "Mahjong Card" of the descendants.
When Li You came to the Tang Dynasty, he was always worried that people would lose their minds by playing with things, so he did not invent mahjong. After Li Shimin retreated to the second line, Li You specially made mahjong in order to let him spend his old age in peace, Li Shimin liked it very much, and fought on the mahjong table all day long.
The charm of mahjong is infinite, and it immediately swept the Tang Dynasty and flowed overseas.
Pei Dilan typed out a five-strip and said, "Lao Li, that Tuoba Zilan is very good, it's a pity to kill it, you promised me, you won't break your word, right?" ”
Li You typed out a 30,000 and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we've known each other for so long, when did I break my promise?" ”
Hamid smiled: "I have known Lao Li for the longest time, Lao Li is full of words and never disappoints." ”
Li You and the others were playing cards, and the white tiger came in and reported: "Lord Wang, Lord Wei is here." ”
"Tell him I'm not available, let him go." Li You played cards intently and said without raising his head.
Since the morning of today, many ministers have come to ask to see Li You, but they have all been blocked.
Soon, the white tiger came back again, and he said, "Lord Wang," Lord Wei refused to leave, and he insisted on seeing you, Lord Wang. ”
Li You said helplessly: "This bull, then let him in." ”
