Chapter 839: Confidant
The eldest grandson, Wuji, was familiar with Li Shimin, and he waited quietly to listen to Li Shimin's story.
Li Shimin is the supreme emperor, he will not easily confide in front of others, not only that, but he also deliberately hides himself in front of others, this is the so-called monarch's heart is all over the world, and the power of heaven is unpredictable.
However, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also needs to pour out his heart's wishes and needs in front of his confidants. Li Shimin also has a confidant, and in front of his confidant, sometimes he will confide in his true thoughts without concealment.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had two confidants, they were the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen brother and sister, in front of them, Li Shimin would show his true side many times.
Between their two siblings, the eldest grandson Wuji still has to be in front of him.
Confidant and intimacy cannot be equated, if it comes to intimacy, the eldest grandson Wuji is not as good as the eldest grandson queen. However, it is precisely because Li Shimin cares about Empress Changsun that she still cares about her image to some extent and covers up her behavior.
In front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin can speak freely.
Sure enough, after Li Shimin roared, he said a little sadly: "Auxiliary, you say I'm not a good emperor?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, if you talk about merit, Your Majesty far surpasses Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and also surpasses Emperor Gaozu, and most of the other emperors are probably not qualified to lift shoes for Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin said: "Am I not able to tolerate people? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "When it comes to mind, Your Majesty's mind is inclusive of the four seas, and it is an emperor of the ages that no one can match. ”
Li Shimin said: "I think that at the beginning, my country was poor and the people were poor, the internal government decrees were not compatible, and the external strong enemies were around. I have been working hard all day long, self-denial and never seeking pleasure. Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, the government is harmonious, and the people are peaceful all over the world, I want to satisfy a little personal wish, is it too much? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji quietly waited for him to speak.
Li Shimin said: "I'm old, I want to build a palace for myself, so that the concubines in the harem can live better, can't I?" Also, I fell in love with Li Tai, and I wanted to keep my beloved son by my side, who is this hindering? Why is everyone desperately opposed? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly.
Li Shimin became excited again as he spoke. He said: "Tell me, how many palaces did Emperor Yang of Sui have? How many women are there in the harem? I have a palace in Luoyang, and the concubines in the harem can't even compare to a fraction of Emperor Yang of Sui. Am I excessive? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji laughed secretly in his heart, knowing that Li Shimin began to play a child's temper, and even compared himself with Emperor Yang of Sui.
Li Shimin gave vent in a nagging voice, and finally said: "Look at the auxiliary machine, my hair and beard are starting to turn gray, I want to live a comfortable life, can't I?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji really likes Li Shimin, as an emperor, except for those who can't be seen, the legendary ancient sage Yao Shunyu soup, I'm afraid it is this somewhat childish Li Shimin.
Li Shimin wanted to build the palace, but the eldest grandson Wuji Jue had no opinion; He wanted his children and grandchildren to wrap around his knees, and the eldest grandson Wuji raised his hands in approval. It's a pity that this matter involves Li Tai.
Li Tai refuses to let others live a good life, everyone is defending their own good life, so they can't tolerate him.
The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to persuade Li Shimin very much and wanted to reason with him. He knew it wasn't the time, though. All he has to do now is to be a good listener and let Li Shimin vent his emotions. In this way, he was able to figure out Li Shimin's true intentions.
Li Shimin chatted with his eldest grandson Wuji for most of the hour, and his mood improved a lot.
At the end of the conversation, he said that he respected Li Shimin's wishes and went to work with Li Chengqian, Li You, and other ministers again.
After leaving the Liangyi Palace, Li Li, who was waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji, questioned the situation and entered the study to accompany Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson Wuji went to see the eldest grandson queen.
Cen Wenwen was secretly happy when he saw that Li Chengqian and Li You were grounded. However, with his understanding of Li Shimin, he knew that the matter in front of him was not enough to cause the downfall of Li Chengqian and Li You, so he secretly looked for an opportunity to continue the fire.
At this moment, he thinks it is necessary to discuss with Concubine Yang Niangniang to cooperate internally and externally.
It's really heartfelt. Just when Cen Wenwen was about to go to see Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang Niangniang sent someone to say that she had asked Empress Changsun to allow Cen Wenwen to go to the harem to see her.
Since Li Ke left Chang'an immediately, Cen Wenwen has had a lot fewer opportunities to see Concubine Yang, and this meeting has been a full 67 days since the last meeting.
Cen Wenwen was a little excited in his heart, and followed the visitor to the harem with brisk steps.
Hibiscus Garden.
Everyone is active, and Li Tai is not idle.
Li Chengqian and Li You were grounded, and Li Tai was very happy.
However, with Li Tai's understanding of Li Shimin, he knew that he would not kill Li Chengqian and Li You because of this, and Empress Changsun, Li Lizhen and others were also helping them say good things, and it was very likely that they would end up in the end. Li Tai believes that it is necessary to constantly create incidents, add fuel to the fire, and lead the situation out of control, so that it is possible to tie Li Shimin firmly to his chariot.
The cold wind was steep, swirling and rolling up the residual snow, and the huge hibiscus garden was empty and lonely. Li Tai looked at the gray scenery, but his heart swelled with excitement.
A dead leaf flew in, hit Li Tai's face, and continued to fly, hitting the trunk of a tree, falling to the ground, and then being blown into a bush by the cold wind and disappearing. Li Tai looked at the leaves, and suddenly remembered a brilliant idea, and he immediately returned to the study and wrote hard.
Not long after, one of Li Tai's relatives left in a hurry with Li Tai's handwritten letter.
Datang Daily is located in Chongrenfang in the east of the imperial city, because of its huge influence, powerful officials, literati and writers are proud to be able to publish articles on it, and there is an endless stream of manuscripts submitted to the editorial department every day.
An editor was sitting at his desk sorting manuscripts when he saw a very ordinary-dressed man walk in with a copy of the manuscript. The editor didn't care, and said, "I'm here to submit the manuscript, so let's put it there first." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to busy himself with his own business.
The visitor did not care about his attitude, and went to put the manuscript in the manuscript box on the table next to him, and at this time, the person who came turned his back to the editor, blocked his view, and took the opportunity to stuff the manuscript into an unnoticed gap on the side of the table.
Lizheng Palace.
When Empress Changsun saw Changsun Wuji, she asked, "Brother, what did Your Majesty say?" ”
