After Li Su finished speaking, Wu's expression remained unchanged, just looking at him quietly.

Everyone is a smart person, and when it comes to this step, they all know each other in their hearts.

An ambitious woman climbed into the emperor's bed, what did she ask for? Is it a wax whipping?

"What does Grandpa think the slave is up to?" Wu smiled lightly.

Li Su blinked: "In charge of the harem? ”

Wu still smiled lightly and did not speak.

Li Suyou exhaled slowly: "Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to sit in that position?" ”

Wu Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I've thought about it, it's really difficult. ”

Li Su smiled: "Queen Wang is not just a queen, behind her is the Taiyuan Wang clan, as well as the entire Shandong Shi clan, and even the shadow of the Longmen valve, do you want to pry her by yourself, do you think it is possible?" ”

Wu also smiled: "Of course it can't be, the slave maid is isolated behind him, although he was born in the Ying Guo Mansion, they have long since denied me, and it is impossible to help me, even if they can help me, the Ying Guo Gong has long been down, and it is difficult to protect themselves, and the slave and maid have never counted on their help." ”

Li Su nodded: "Not only that, from the moment something happened between you and Your Majesty, you and the Queen Wang have become enemies, the harem is a place where people eat people, and you know better than me the hardships and dangers, and then the Queen Wang may deliberately befriend you with ghosts, and may directly target you, and you, the only backer in the entire palace is only Your Majesty, and even if Your Majesty is a little negligent, you may be thrown into the well by the Queen, that is to say, from now on, your personal safety may not be guaranteed, Not to mention replacing the queen, do you understand all this? ”

Wu's smile grew reluctant.

Li Su said this, she has thought about it, and even she thought that her situation in the Taiji Palace would become very difficult, after all, she has to face not only the hostility of the queen, but also the gate valve of the scholar clan behind the queen, to be honest, it is almost impossible to pry the status of the queen, although the Wu family is ambitious, but fortunately it is not to the point of arrogance, knowing how many catties and taels he has.

At that time, she didn't think too much, it was probably a man and a woman, especially this woman was quite beautiful, and it was inevitable to be in the same room. However, climbing on Li Zhi's dragon bed does not mean that he will be able to prosper in the future, and if you think about the consequences, the future fate of the Wu clan is actually very dangerous.

And after that? The Wu family didn't think too far, the harem was so big, and with the emperor's favor, couldn't she go sideways?

But the truth is that she really can't walk sideways, and even her life is in danger.

It's easy to want to live, and from then on, swallow your anger in front of the queen, and raise the queen high like a slave, maybe after more than ten years, you can also be named a concubine, and then, continue to swallow your anger in front of the queen, and that's probably it for a lifetime.

But the Wu clan's ambition is not satisfied just by being a concubine.

What does she want? The word "power" is just that.

There is a queen pressed on it, how much power can she get? In particular, there is an almost unshakable backer behind this queen, and even Li Zhi has to be a little careful.

Thinking of this, Wu suddenly felt cold.

Looking at Wu's increasingly pale face, Li Su smiled.

"It seems that Miss Wu is aware of her situation."

Wu's lips opened slightly, and she pursed her lips a few times and was silent.

Li Su sighed: "Actually...... You didn't have to be hostile to me, I never had the intention of harming you, and I didn't save you from the court to harm you. ”

Wu Shi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid have no hostility towards the grandfather, and the grandfather should not wronged the slave and the maid." ”

Li Su smiled and said: "I understand, in fact, no matter what level a person goes to, he will eventually set a goal for himself, maybe it is the person who he wanted to get rid of but can't get rid of, or maybe he looked up and envied the person who wanted to surpass at the beginning, the more time passes, the easier it is for such emotions to turn into hatred, Miss Wu, you probably have such a mentality towards me, right?" ”

Wu looked at him in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

In just one sentence, he saw her through again, and even, he saw her more thoroughly than himself.

"I, slave, don't have ......," Wu argued weakly.

Li Su smiled and waved his hand: "The world says that I have no ambitions, I obviously have a skill, but I have always been reluctant to set foot in the court too deeply, and I am willing to spend my days lazily at home, but the world does not know that laziness also has the benefits of being lazy, I often sit in the courtyard of my home in a daze, guess what I was thinking when I was in a daze?" ”

"I'm thinking about people, thinking about everyone I know, and I'm always secretly thinking, is this person friend or foe? Is this person also wondering about me? What kind of temperament is this man? What should I do if I come into contact with him in the future? If he were confronted with something, how might he react in his temperament? ”

Li Su smiled and spread his hands: "You see, in fact, it's not idle to be in a daze, there are too many people and things to think about, but I always think it's a good habit, this good habit has saved me a lot of detours, and I have made a lot of friends, and more importantly, ...... Learned about many enemies. ”

The more Li Su said, the paler Wu's face became.

Staring at Wu's face, Li Su smiled: "Whether you believe it or not, I really have never had the heart to harm you, in fact, you are also a poor woman, you have the ambition of Lingyun, but you hate to be a daughter, everyone in the world yearns for power, and some people have drilled it all their lives, but a woman walks this road, it is a hundred and ten times more difficult than a man, you are not easy to walk, there is no resentment, why should I harm you?" ”

The Wu clan was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Grandpa, slave maid...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Li Su sighed: "Your hostility towards me probably comes down to your own psychology, treat others with yourself, if there is a person who can see through me at a glance anytime and anywhere, everything I think and do is under his control, I think I will also get rid of him quickly, this is just a human psychological instinct, so, I don't blame you." ”

With a smile, Li Su said: "Having said so much, I just want to tell you, don't treat me as an enemy, you have many enemies, and there will be more in the future, in the palace or outside the palace, but there is absolutely no me in your enemies, not only that, you and I are even allies who must cooperate, at least in the next ten years, the alliance between you and me will not break up." ”

Hearing this, the Wu clan raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

"Alliance...... Friend? ”

Li Su smiled: "Yes, you and I may have common enemies, or we may also have common interests, for the time being, you and I will both lose." ”

Wu gradually sat up straight, his expression solemn.

"Please also ask Grandpa to make it clear, who is the common enemy? What are the common interests? ”

Li Su didn't answer and asked: "Do you know what Emperor Taizong said to me before he died?" ”

Wu shook his head.

Li Su said slowly: "I said a lot of things, one of which is...... Gate valves and gentlemen. ”

Wu's eyes lit up, and his expression was sudden.

Li Su said again: "Do you know how long it will take to weaken the power of the gate lord and the scholar clan?" ”

Wu Shi stopped talking and shook his head.

Li Su said slowly: "A lifetime, or even longer." ”

Wu nodded, on this point, she couldn't deny Li Su's opinion.

Li Su said again: "Now that you know who our common enemy is, do you know what our common interests are?" ”

Wu finally smiled: "Power." ”

Li Su shook his head: "Power is what you want, what I want is to gradually restore the vitality of the Tang Dynasty within ten years, but you and I have the same goal, we weaken the gate lord clan, and then open the imperial examination, recommend the Han clan, and let the children of the Han sect gradually replace the power of the gate lord clan, so that the Tang Dynasty can be able to govern and lay the foundation for a prosperous era, so our interests are the same." ”

Wu smiled: "Yes, what Grandpa said makes sense. ”

Li Su also smiled: "You and I must help each other in an alliance, you need a force of the court to support you, as a bargaining chip for you to fight with the queen, and I need you to cooperate with me after taking power in the future to promote the new policy, improve the imperial examination and various people's livelihood decrees, do you have any objections to this?" ”

Wu's smile became brighter and brighter: "Not at all, the slave and maid are only the grandfather and the horse." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "You and I are still young, it may take a lifetime to do this, I hope that the relationship between you and my allies can continue to be strong, in contrast, you have more enemies in the palace, you have been busy enough for you in the past few years, you can help Your Majesty come up with ideas for the affairs of the court, Your Majesty is still young, many things are inevitably not thoughtful, with your assistance, you can avoid many detours." ”

Wu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "Assisting Your Majesty in handling government affairs, isn't Grandpa worried about the growing ambition of the slave and maid?" ”

Li Su smiled and sighed: "Don't you force me to say something hurtful...... Let me tell you this, I'm not dead yet, you can't turn the sky. ”

Wu's smile froze, and his expression froze.

Li Su smiled again: "Of course, I hope that the process of our alliance is pleasant, love each other and never give up, if you are willing to settle down, I will defend you to the end, does Miss Wu agree?" ”

Wu nodded and said slowly: "The slave has no other ideas, grandpa must believe me." ”

"I believe in you."

After hesitating for a long time, Wu suddenly said softly: "The slave maid heard...... A few days ago, Agronomy lost rice seeds? ”

Li Su blinked: "Are you talking about it?" What does it matter to me if I lose rice seeds in agronomy? ”

Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is also a Japanese monk who died......

Li Su sighed and said, "If you really don't have anything to say to me, you might as well sit in the room with me in a daze, don't come and talk to me about this kind of extremely boring gossip, or go and talk to my wife, you women like to talk about these trivial things." ”

Seeing that Li Su didn't seem to admit the meaning of these two incidents, and his expression also showed no interest, Wu's original determined guess was shaken for a moment, and then sighed faintly.

After talking about the business, there was a noise in the front hall again, and the veterans' wine became more and more unbearable, and they heard Cheng Biting Jin's scolding voice from afar, as if he was going crazy with wine.

Li Su sighed helplessly and muttered, "If I had a son, I would definitely sprinkle a soak of poisonous and fire-free boy urine in their wine jar...... Unfortunately, I'm no longer a child. ”

Chao Wu smiled, Li Su said: "There is movement among the elders in the front hall, I'll go and see, Miss Wu is at her own convenience, you can find my wife to talk......

After speaking, Li Su stood up.

Wu suddenly stopped him, his eyes fixed on his face, for a long time, Wu's eyes turned red, and he said softly: "The slave maid actually had a better choice at the beginning, if the grandfather had a cone of slaves and maids in his heart at that time, the slave and maid would have died ......for the grandfather."

Li Su was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Now you should be dead set on Your Majesty, don't hurt him, don't lose him." ”

After speaking, Li Su turned around and left.

Wu sat alone in the room, tears finally slowly sliding.

If I hadn't left, I guess I would have been very happy in the past two years in the county government, right?

"Power" and "happiness" always seem to be contradictory, and she can only choose one or the other, and she has made her choice.

…………

…………

There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

The relationship between Li Su and Wu perfectly illustrates this sentence.

In fact, from the acquaintance to the present, Li Su and the Wu family do not share a deep hatred, on the contrary, the interests of the two are often linked. Li Su knew that the Wu family had hatred for him in his heart, and part of this hatred came from the psychological shadow that Li Su had given her for a long time, and part of it came from the love between men and women, so love gave birth to hatred.

Now that everyone has their own destiny, those grievances in the past now seem so ridiculous.

Compared with the treacherous general trend of the world and the battle in the court, what is this little grudge between Li Su and the Wu family? Now that they have common enemies and interests, the alliance between Li Su and the Wu clan is naturally a matter of course.

After sending off the Wu clan and the drunken veterans, Li Su was still standing at the gate of his house, looking at the remnant sun sinking in the distance.

A pair of soft stalks touched Li Su's shoulders, and Xu Mingzhu's voice came from behind him.

"What is the husband thinking?"

Li Su didn't look back, smiled, and said, "I'm thinking...... What should you eat tonight, do you want to cook a few good dishes, get a pot of chilled grape wine, and drink it alone? ”

"Why is my husband so in such a good mood today?"

"The layout of the next ten years, the most important one has fallen today, and it is certainly worth celebrating."

Xu Mingzhu thought about it and hesitated: "Because...... Martial Girl? ”

Li Su didn't hide it from her, nodded and said, "Yes, because of her." Madame, don't underestimate this woman, in time, she will be able to soar into the sky, I have a lot to do in the future, with her help, it can be regarded as helping me share half of the burden, but for this woman, it is a bit hard to use her and prevent her, but it is worth it. ”

"A woman...... Is it worthy of such attention from the husband? ”

Li Su sighed: "She...... was supposed to be the brightest star in the history books, but her achievements were all forced by the situation, and now with me, history may be different. ”

Xu Mingzhu was confused when he heard it: "The concubine body is too stupid, and the concubine body that the husband said can't understand it." ”

Li Suhaha laughed: "It's normal to not understand, no one in this world can understand." Let's go, Mrs. will follow me into the house, the wine is strong today, how about Mrs. make an exception to accompany me to drink a few grapes? ”

Xu Mingzhu smiled: "The husband has Yaxing, and the concubine should accompany him......"

The husband and wife walked back, and Li Su suddenly took her hand.

Xu Mingzhu's hands are rough, when she crossed the Xizhou desert to save him, her hands were ground out by the sand and had many scars, and these scars have been permanently left on her hands.

Every time he held her hand, Li Su felt infinite emotion and guilt in his heart, and the strength of holding hands became tighter.

"After Madame and I have a drink, how about handing over Zhen'er to the maid tonight?" Li Sujiao whispered in her ear.

Xu Mingzhu said confusedly: "Why? Zhen'er has always slept with concubines......"

Li Su smiled very loudly, lowered his voice and said, "Let's work hard to create a few more little Zhen'er...... I have calculated for my husband that tonight is a good day for the creation of man, and if you use the three forms of 'somersault butterfly', 'back flying' and 'yin ape hugging the tree', you can conceive ......"

Xu Mingzhu's pretty face turned red, and she was ashamed of herself.

"Husband, you...... In broad daylight, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Mingzhu ran away in shame.

…………

Dongyang Taoist Temple.

A sprig of red apricot came into the wall.

Li Su set up a ladder and propped his hands on the wall of the Taoist temple, neither going in nor coming down.

Dongyang was wearing a plain Taoist robe, staring at him inside the wall with a smile on his face.

"Anyway, you are also the prince of the dynasty, what kind of system do you look like, teach people to see jokes! If you want to come in, you have to go down the ladder carefully, and what is the matter if you lie on the wall? ”

Li Su smiled: "I won't come in, you are now guarding filial piety, I can't ruin your reputation, it's good for us to talk like this." ”

Dongyang sighed: "The magnates of the Tang Dynasty have been several times, but you are the only one who is so maverick, anyway, I have never seen a prince lying on the wall." ”

"Oh, you have to get used to this, I will often lie on the wall in the future, and when I miss me, I will put a paper kite in the yard, and I will carry a ladder to talk to you."

Dongyang glared at him: "Aren't you busy?" The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and he will inevitably implement the new policy, you are a hero from the dragon, and often tell me that you want to assist Your Majesty to create the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and the heavy responsibility is on your shoulders, but you still have no shape. ”

"Of course I'm very busy, but no matter how busy you are, I can't forget you, three years of closed filial piety, you are too lonely inside, I feel sorry for you, come and see, talk to you, lest you walk out of the door after three years and forget what I look like."

Dongyang sneered: "You, I can spell your appearance if I burn you to ashes." ”

"The words are good words, and you can hear that they are full of affection, but they sound weird......"

Dongyang looked up at him on the wall, and said softly: "We used to go to the river beach, do you still go now?" ”

Li Su smiled: "I rarely go, without you, the river beach has become tasteless, but the scenery has not changed, even the big stone you sat on is there well, I named it, called 'Lucky Stone that has been in close contact with Her Royal Highness Princess Dongyang', the name is too long and tongue-twisting, so it is referred to as 'Fart Stone'......"

Dongyang suddenly blushed and snorted: "Won't you have a good name?" It's so indecent at all times. ”

"Okay, I'll take a name seriously,...... how about 'Gentle Years'?"

"Ugly!"

Li Su sighed in frustration: "This name, I must take it out in my lifetime!" ”

Although Li Su's posture on the wall was indecent, it could be seen that Dongyang was still very happy, and his eyes were shining with brilliance.

"Tell me about the things in Chang'an City, can you? Have you been in trouble lately? Did you offend anyone? ”

Li Su sighed: "I've been too busy lately, and I don't have the time to go out to offend people, so I'll talk about it when I'm free." There is nothing new in Chang'an City, I have recently been preparing to draft a recital at home, and to advise the new policy, if Your Majesty is allowed to play, the court will be controversial again, well, I am ready for battle......"

Dongyang frowned: "Is the new deal you come up with radical?" ”

"I don't think it's radical, the implementation of trial planting and improvement of rice seeds, the reduction and exemption of farmers' taxes, the encouragement of private businessmen to build workshops, the recruitment of farmers to work in the slack time, and the opening of the imperial examination, the reinforcement of the Yellow River embankment, the expansion of the Tang Dynasty sailors, the creation of treasure ships to go to sea, the exploration and conquest of new continents, the introduction of new species, there is a more important ......."

Li Su said and looked into Dongyang's eyes, and said slowly: "There is another one, abolish the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the pro-system, from now on, the things that cannot be solved in the Tang Dynasty diplomatically, the soldiers use swords to solve them, why do the women of the Tang Dynasty serve the tiger and wolf with their bodies." If necessary, the other country can use their own princess to marry the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and we can accept such a harmony. ”

Dongyang was moved: "You, you still remember ......"

Li Su sighed: "Many tragedies can actually be avoided by a government decree. ”

"I'm afraid that many courtiers will not agree to these new policies, especially the abolition of princesses and relatives."

"Don't worry, I have the patience to slowly consume with them, my life is still very long, but they are not so long, ten years, twenty years, one day, I will jump on their graves......"

Dongyang looked at him deeply: "You are not yet thirty years old, but your life is already very exciting, I am looking forward to what you will do next, how to gain a foothold in the turbulent court, how to fight with those old-fashioned courtiers, how to influence the court situation, how to weaken the ...... of the gate valve"

Li Su was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "That's the next ten years, maybe, it will really be exciting, or maybe, I suddenly got tired of such days one day, and disappeared without saying a word with my family." ”

Dongyang said with a smile: "I disappeared with you, I am really looking forward to your next ten years, Li Su, do a good job, not only to leave a name for the history, but also for the people of the world, my father often said when he was alive, the Tang Dynasty has a son, fortunately." You remember this sentence and don't live up to it. ”

…………

Taiji Palace, Anren Palace.

Li Zhi and Li Su sat opposite each other, Li Zhi held Li Su's freshly baked music in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled.

Li Su looked at the furnishings in the hall calmly, ignoring Li Zhi's expression.

After a long time, Li Zhi closed the music and sighed.

"Zizheng, this piece is very heavy......"

Li Su smiled: "Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate? ”

Li Zhi sighed: "In fact, each article is the heart of the fair country, and it is written very practically, if it is implemented, the Tang Dynasty will be very beneficial, but unfortunately, the courtiers will not agree, especially the old ministers such as Chu Suiliang, the eldest grandson's uncle......"

After patting the song, Li Zhi shook his head: "If you read it out in the Taiji Palace, the courtiers will fry the pot, especially the abolition of the princess and the relatives, as well as the entry of the children of the Han family into the imperial examination, etc., most of the courtiers in the court are from the gate valve, how can they allow such a new policy to be implemented?" ”

Li Su nodded: "It was expected by the minister, so this performance was only shown to His Majesty, and he did not intend to show it to the court." ”

"What does the son mean by this?"

Pointing to the song, Li Su said: "It is actually the minister's outline for the next ten or even twenty years, the minister never expected the courtiers to agree, it doesn't matter, take your time, first pick the easy implementation, for example, the minister will only propose to implement the improved rice seed this year, and all the fields that can be cultivated in the Tang Dynasty will be replaced with improved rice seeds, this matter is done, it is estimated that it will be five years later, then, five years later, the minister will propose the second article, the third article, and after a few years of completion, the minister will propose the fourth and fifth articles, take your time, the minister is still young, The rest of his life is all about this recital, and when the minister is old, the day when he returns to the field, if he can complete all the things listed in this recital, the minister will be very remarkable. ”

Looking up at Li Zhi, Li Su said in a deep voice: "Of course, all this still needs the consent of Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can always agree with the minister's political views and always stand on the side of the minister, the minister will be much easier, and the Tang Dynasty will be able to achieve the prosperity of the Yonghui Dynasty under the rule of Your Majesty - if you don't change the era name so often - Your Majesty's evaluation in the history books will not be inferior to your father." ”

Li Zhi was suddenly moved, opened the note in his hand again, looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and then looked directly into Li Su's eyes, and said slowly: "Si is benevolent, why not?" Zizheng, I will support you. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty feels that the pressure is too great one day and you can't support it, please tell the minister in time, and the minister will withdraw immediately, our monarch and minister are drinking and hunting, there is no need to bother with any new policies." ”

Li Zhi's face turned red with excitement, and he said angrily: "Who said I can't support it? When I have completely mastered the court, whoever obstructs the new policy will be my enemy, and I will be eliminated! In short, the one who withdraws is definitely not me! ”

The two looked at each other, then laughed.

Li Su said again: "There is one more thing ...... minister."

"Say it."

"From tomorrow, how about Your Majesty running in front of the Taiji Palace with his ministers after the dispersal of the dynasty?"

Li Zhi was stunned: "Zizheng is really ...... You jump a little slower, I really can't keep up with your train of thought, why do you run? ”

Li Su blinked and smiled: "Isn't it good for you and me to live a little longer?" Enjoy this world, see with your own hands the prosperous world, well, let's strive to live to the age of eighty, eighty years old with a smile, the world's rare longevity, eighty years old and then die that is enough, die early to panic. ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "I really don't know why you suddenly said this, running...... I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere. ”

"The minister will run with His Majesty."

Li Zhi hesitated for a long time and said, "Okay...... Alas! ”

Li Su's expression suddenly became serious: "You don't have any jokes, the minister can take it seriously, Your Majesty can't break his word, especially not to the minister." ”

Li Zhi sighed in resignation, and then nodded heavily: "I will never break my word." ”

…………

Three years later, three years later, Yonghui three years.

Dongyang's filial piety period has expired, and he walked out of the Taoist temple in plain clothes, there was no guard on duty in front of the Taoist temple, and outside the deserted gate, Li Su and Xu Mingzhu stood under the umbrella, looking at her with a smile. Dongyang Qing lost a lot, and when he left the Taoist temple, he only carried a simple burden in his hand, and a maid Lu Liu, who did not want to marry for life.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and after years of ups and downs in love and entanglement of grievances, today finally came to a successful conclusion.

On the third day of Dongyang's visit, the Jin State Mansion invited Chang'an guests and dignitaries, and the scenery welcomed Dongyang to enter the door. At that time, Li Su was still the right man of Shangshu Province, but with the support of Li Zhi, Li Su's power was getting bigger and bigger. Jin Guogong's wedding invitation, no one can refuse.

The wedding banquet was very lively, and the pomp was very large, but the guests who came to congratulate them were confused.

Such a extravagant wedding was supposed to be a pomp and circumstance to marry a wife, but the Duke of Jin Guo already has a wife in the court, and the princess of Dongyang who is married today, what is it after entering the door? After all, there is no such thing as a "flat wife" in these years, and if it is a concubine, this pomp is too exaggerated.

Li Su didn't give any explanation, but his friends such as Cheng Chumo, the Wang family brothers and others were in a hurry, so they said a word.

"I have only these two women in my life, they both have a deep affection for me, and they are both kind to me, I can't divide them into sizes, they will be my wives in the future, regardless of size."

Many things have happened in the past three years, but fortunately, Li Su proposed in the first year of Yonghui to implement the improvement of rice seeds, which has not been hindered too much, including a group of old-fashioned old ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji Chu Suiliang, who have a neutral attitude towards the implementation of improved rice seeds, so Li Zhi and Li Su Junchen cooperated, and immediately ordered the implementation of the plan, and Li Yifu, the young superintendent of agriculture, personally went down to the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty to supervise it, and now it has achieved considerable results.

Also in the first year of Yonghui, Xu Mingzhu gave birth to Lin'er for Li Su, and was also Li Su's first son, Li family was happy, and the house was celebrated, Li Su named his son "Siqi", and the words "see the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect also", the second day of his birth, Li Zhi personally went out of the palace and came to the door, not only rewarded rich gifts, but also gave Li Siqi a "light car captain" on the spot.

The name is elegant, but unfortunately Li Su's eldest son is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after the age of three, he was taught kung fu by Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou, ten years later, one day, Li Siqi was wandering in Chang'an City, the road met the scoundrels in the market to defraud the poor and extort money, ten-year-old Li Siqi was furious, not only chopped off the legs of the scoundrels in the market with a knife, but also arranged for the Li family to set up an ambush, and wiped out more than a dozen accomplices of the scoundrels in the market.

This incident shocked the elite circle in Chang'an City, and everyone said that the Li family Qilin'er was born with a talent, a father's style, and his future achievements are limitless.

In the third year of Yonghui, the first child of Li Zhi and Wu was born, named Li Hong, and was named acting king. In the same year, the Wu clan was finally named Zhaoyi, and in this year, the relationship between the Wu clan and Empress Wang gradually became hostile.

In the sixth year of Yonghui, after six years of recuperation, and the implementation of improved rice varieties with higher yield per mu, the people of the Tang Dynasty finally gradually recovered their vitality, the treasury was full of rice and grain in various places, and in the past six years, there was basically no war on the border of the Tang Dynasty, only with Goguryeo and Tubo had several small-scale frictions and conflicts, all of which were calmed down diplomatically.

At the end of the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Su once again put forward a new political idea, encouraging private merchants to build various workshops, recruiting idle farmers to work to subsidize their families, and sending envoys to negotiate trade with neighboring countries.

This political opinion was unanimously opposed by the old ministers led by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Su calmly dealt with it, and with the secret support of Li Zhi, he finally passed the new policy strongly, however, because of this matter, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Zhi and Li Su gradually took a sharp turn and became cold.

Since then, the eldest grandson Wuji's attitude in the court has gradually hardened, and he has rubbed with Li Zhi many times in political affairs, and the imperial power has been squeezed step by step by the ministers.

Four years later, four years after Xianqing, Li Zhi's love for the Wu family deepened, whether it was the palace or state affairs, the Wu family helped Li Zhi too much, Li Zhi was grateful and interested, so he gave birth to the heart of abolishing Wang Liwu, so he summoned Li Su to ask his opinion, Li Su pondered for a long time, and only said, "This is Your Majesty's family matter, why ask outsiders", Li Zhi's heart became more and more firm after the abolition of Wu.

At the court meeting in the same year, after Li Zhi proposed to abolish it, he was fiercely opposed by the eldest grandson Wuji and other old ministers, and the court was in an uproar, and the contradiction between Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji was finally so acute that it could not be reconciled.

Three months later, Li Zhi suddenly summoned Li Su to the palace and granted the right guard the transfer of troops to the tiger talisman document. Li Su led the troops to the Changsun Mansion that night, and took the eldest grandson Wuji and the old and young into the prison, and the next day the court meeting, when Xu Jingzong was in the Shangshu Provincial Servant, he told the eldest grandson Wuji to collude with the courtiers to rebel, Li Zhi immediately issued an order to cut off the official position and fiefdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the whole family moved to Qianzhou, and the eldest grandson Wuji withdrew from the historical stage as a loser.

In July of the same year, Li Su, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, was appointed as the right servant of Shangshu Province and finally became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

In the second month after Li Su took office, Li Zhi deposed the queen of Wang, and the Wu family was finally canonized as the queen in a controversy.

At the beginning of this year, Li Su and Wu entered the honeymoon period of cooperation, with the support of Li Zhi and Wu, Li Su accelerated the pace of implementing various new policies, the world benefited, the people hid wealth, and the people sang the kindness of the Son of Heaven.

Because of the agreement between Li Su and Li Zhi, the two monarchs and ministers insisted on running in front of the Taiji Palace every day, and every time they sweated profusely, Li Zhi's body never had problems, but they became stronger and stronger.

Six years after the honeymoon period, the first year of Longshuo (an emperor who likes to keep changing the year name is also drunk), the world is rich, the treasury is full, the people are safe, the voice of praise from the government and the opposition is louder, Wu then plucked Li Zhi Taishan to seal Zen, because Feng Zen is too laborious and hurtful, Li Su entered the palace to face the king's advice, Li Zhi accepted his advice, but Wu hated Li Su from then on, and the honeymoon period of the two has passed.

Wu instructed his henchmen to falsely accuse Li Su of rebellion, and listed a lot of evidence, but before Li Su could defend himself, Wu was severely reprimanded by Li Zhi.

In the spring of the second year, a big case suddenly broke out in the court, Li Yifu, the young superintendent of agriculture, reported that the superintendent of agriculture colluded with foreign countries and secretly sold improved rice seeds for profit, Li Zhi was shocked and ordered a strict investigation, which led to the murder of the monk Daozhao many years ago, and the Yongzhou assassin Shi was ordered to investigate, and found that Daozhao had many doubts about the so-called "accidental death" that year, and after visiting and interrogating the Tang envoys who were sent to the Tang Dynasty in the same batch, it was found that Daozhao and Wu's contacts were very close, and Daozhao also left many letters that had not yet been sent before his death, which described in detail the process of Daozhao's dealings with Wu's family, Daozhao promised that if the Wu clan could introduce rice seeds to the Wa Kingdom, there would be a lot of thanks, and the Wu clan was dissatisfied with the meagre remuneration, and the two gradually developed a grudge.

At this point, a lot of evidence of the murder is self-evident, and all the evidence points to the Wu family.

As the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she actually murdered a foreign monk, and this case caused a huge wave in the court.

Li Zhi was also shocked, but the Wu family was speechless, and in April of the same year, Li Zhi issued a decree to depose Empress Wu and demote her to the court.

Li Su's new policy made the Tang Dynasty more and more rich and powerful, and the treasury accumulated grain, grass and silver money for many years, and the Tang Dynasty officially entered the prosperous era.

In the spring of the first year of Qianfeng, the Tang Dynasty accumulated national strength, Li Zhi personally conquered Goguryeo, appointed Li Ji as the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, Li Su as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, and appointed Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and others as generals, leading 100,000 troops, and attacking by land and water.

The firearms of the Tang Dynasty once again played a huge role in this battle, the Tang army conquered ten cities, and the soldiers were under the city of Anshi, and the city gate of Anshi City was blown open with the explosives package invented by Li Suxin, and the guard Yang Wanchun committed suicide when the city was broken, and the Goguryeo army fled for hundreds of miles.

In September of the same year, the Tang army arrived in the capital Pyongyang, the Goguryeo lord Gaozang was old, the defenders in the city were disheartened, the lord Gaozang had to open the city gate to surrender, and the entire territory of Goguryeo was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, and the former dynasty was humiliated.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil in the Western Regions, the countries were dissatisfied with the high-pressure policy of the Tang Anxi Protectorate, and after four years, more than 20 countries in the Western Regions formed a coalition army, cut off the Silk Road, and attacked the Anxi Protectorate, Hou Junji, who was the governor of the Anxi Protectorate, led the army to resist, after the bloody battle, repelled the coalition army, Hou Junji was also seriously injured, Li Zhi ordered to increase the troops to the Western Regions by 50,000, and at the same time Hou Junji was connected to Chang'an to recuperate, Hou Junji recommended Wang Zhu to take over the position of governor before leaving, and led the Tang Army in the Western Regions, Li Zhi played on the line.

Because of the appearance of Li Su, there has been a considerable deviation in history, and the original short-lived emperor has become a rare long-lived emperor in history.

Fifty years old, is the top of the ministers, Li Su suddenly on the power of the old, these years because of the implementation of the new policy and the merits of the Goguryeo War, his prestige in the court and the people has deepened, heard that Li Su told the old, Li Zhi and the courtiers were stunned, Li Zhi repeatedly pleaded, Li Su was resolute, Li Zhi had no choice but to agree, and named Li Su as the commonplace, with the three products under the Chinese book.

At the age of seventy-five, Li Zhi, who was getting less energetic, decisively decided to abdicate and the crown prince Li Hong ascended the throne to inherit the throne, and Li Zhi was honored as the emperor. After Li Hong ascended the throne, he begged Li Zhi to release his biological mother Wu from the court and respect him as the queen mother, Li Zhi promised to release the court, but he was not allowed to respect the Wu family as the queen mother. After Li Su agreed, he asked Li Zhi to respect the Wu clan as the queen mother, Li Zhi hesitated again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed for the sake of Li Su's face.

After stepping off the emperor's throne, Li Zhi was relaxed and came to Li Su's home.

This year, Li Su is eighty years old, which is a rare longevity. And Xu Mingzhu and Dongyang, who have been in love with Li Su all their lives until they grow old, gave birth to four sons and three daughters for him, and the two daughters have passed away separately a few years ago, and the three of them have never said "growing old together", but Li Su and them have really done it.

At this time, Li Su was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, and when he saw Li Zhi coming to the door, Li Su stood up tremblingly, but was stopped by Li Zhi before saluting.

"It's all an old bone, you don't have to pay attention to these false gifts, don't flash your waist." Li Zhi laughed.

Li Su coughed twice, and his voice was old: "The minister fell asleep under this ginkgo tree just now and had a dream......

"What dreams did you have?"

"The minister dreams of a thousand years later...... Li Su's eyes are cloudy, and his eyelids droop as if he will fall asleep at any time: "After a thousand years, there are many novelties, airplanes, rockets, TVs, mobile phones, ......."

Li Zhi smiled: "I'm talking nonsense again, I see that you are really old and confused, and you can say something you don't understand." ”

Li Su smiled: "Yes, the minister's brain has become more and more confused in recent years, sometimes he doesn't even know what he said, when he closes his eyes, it is full of things that he doesn't know, and when he opens his eyes, it is the mountains and forests of the fields......"

"Whether it is Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, or Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou, this question, the minister has thought about it for many years, but he can't figure it out."

Li Zhi said angrily: "Can you think of something useful?" Even think about what to eat tonight. ”

With a long exhalation, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, now I am no longer the emperor, hand over the huge country to Hong'er, I have been in power for more than 50 years, I am worthy of the society and the people, maybe there are some regrets, so what?" Everyone has more or less regrets in their lives......"

Li Zhi chattered, but Li Su was drowsy next to him.

Li Zhi pushed him dissatisfiedly: "Hey, did you hear me speak?" ”

Li Su snorted lazily: "I heard it, I heard it......"

Li Zhi smiled and asked, "What about you?" Do you have any regrets? ”

Li Su drooped his eyelids, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The minister has no regrets, but the minister has a big secret, and this secret minister has never told anyone......"

Li Zhi hurriedly said, "What secret?" Tell me! ”

Li Su didn't speak, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep again.

Li Zhi pushed him dissatisfied, but Li Su did not react.

…………

Late at night, the Wu family, who had just returned to the harem from the court, wore a Taoist robe and sat in front of the statue of Lao Jun to silently recite the Heart Sutra.

After being beaten into the court again, the Wu family was finally disheartened, so he began to be pious, and was respected as the queen mother by Li Hong in the harem.

Wu is also seventy-eight years old this year, and his life is probably like this.

The hurried footsteps interrupted the chanting of the Wu family, and the eldest son Li Hong, who had just ascended the throne, walked into the hall quickly, saluted the Wu family, and said in a hurried voice: "Queen Mother, I just received a funeral report from outside the palace, Li Su, the Duke of Jin...... Passed away. ”

Wu Shi opened his eyes suddenly, his cloudy and dull gaze flickered inexplicably, and then sighed softly.

Half a lifetime of entanglements, half a lifetime of grievances, all came to mind at this moment, and the Wu family had mixed feelings.

"Eighty years later, the merit is complete."

Li Hong showed a look of grief: "The dynasty has lost its famous ministers, and the country is in ruins!" ”

Wu sighed lightly: "Your Majesty is good at handling his funeral, you can give him to accompany him to the burial of Qianling, and also treat his children and grandchildren well." ”

"This is natural, the queen mother can rest assured, the Li family is all loyal ministers, and I will not treat them badly."

Seeing that the Wu clan didn't seem to have anything else to say, Li Hong saluted her and said goodbye.

When he was about to walk outside the temple gate, Wu suddenly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has made a lot of contributions, he ...... It is a legend in this life, and I want to erect a monument to Li Su. ”

Li Hong nodded: "Li Sugong is high, and it is not an exaggeration to erect a monument." Mother, what is written on the inscription? ”

Wu Shi turned his back to him, his eyes were red, but his tone was as usual: "You don't have to write a word, just set up an empty monument." This monument was erected for him by me personally, and what I wanted to say to him was in my heart, and future generations did not need to know. ”
