Hearing the name of the Wu family, Li Su couldn't help but feel surprised, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not a surprise.

It's gold that will shine eventually, sooner or later. The Wu clan has been dormant for several years, and it is time to shine. Li Su originally knew that this was a woman who was unwilling to be subordinate, her ambition was greater than anyone else, and after several years of tempering, her ability gradually matched her ambition.

Now the question is, where exactly has her ambition gone?

What does she want to do? What do you want to achieve? How much power does it take to be satisfied? By what means does she justifiably have power forever?

Unconsciously, the woman of the Wu family has gradually become a mystery in Li Su's heart.

Seeing that Li Su was silent with a smile, Li Zhi felt a little faceless, so he added: "Actually, most of the state affairs are handled by me, and Miss Wu just helps me sort out the music, and occasionally when there is something difficult to decide, she gives me a little immature advice, and she doesn't participate in too many ......."

Li Su said with a smile: "Your Highness will do whatever you think, you will do everything with your heart, you don't have to explain anything to the minister, no matter what Your Highness wants to do, the minister will support you behind your back." ”

Li Zhi showed a touched expression and said deeply: "Brother Zizheng is a true gentleman, and he is inscribed with a sense of guilt." ”

Li Sudao: "Now His Royal Highness is the prince of the East Palace, the emperor's art has his own eldest grandson Uncle and Chu Suiliang to teach you, my half-hung ink can't help you anything, tomorrow I will enter the province to participate in the governor's affairs, for His Highness to worry a little, but His Royal Highness Su Zhichen's temperament, maybe when he will run home to sleep and bask in the sun, don't expect me too much......"

Li Zhishu smiled and said, "Brother Zizheng is really ...... Geng is straight, but I just became the prince, Brother Zizheng still has to work hard, help me for a while, and when I stabilize the situation, what do you like to do at will, I will never stop you. ”

Li Su nodded, and said: "Your Highness is already the crown prince, you can properly cultivate your wings, Your Majesty has delegated power to you, you must have acquiesced to recruit staff, share your worries, before the Eastern Expedition I recommended to His Royal Highness Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Pei Xingjian The three people, can share a lot for His Highness, promote them appropriately, and in this Eastern Expedition, I found a talent who bravely crowned the three armies, named Xue Rengui, and is now following my uncle to learn the art of war, His Royal Highness remembers this name, in the near future, he can be the commander of the first army. ”

Li Zhi nodded, remembering his words word by word.

Li Su pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is more filial piety in front of his knees, and talk to him more, Your Majesty has dozens of princes and princesses in his life, but he is the loneliest father in the world, this father may have failed very much, but he is a father after all." ”

Li Zhi's eyes were red, and he nodded silently.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Su continued: "As for that martial girl, if Your Highness wants to accept her as a side concubine, you still have to wait, after all, she used to be a talented person by your father's side, and she was too anxious to be criticized by the courtiers and the people. ”

Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, Brother Zizheng misunderstood me, I ...... Oh, Miss Wu is indeed a talent to help me deal with state affairs, but I will never accept her as a concubine, I have been with her for a long time, I gradually found that you can see people very accurately, this woman is too ambitious, if you accept it as a side concubine, I am afraid that the harem will be chickens and dogs, and there will be no peace, she is not only ambitious, but I also find that her anger is also very heavy, how to say, it is like carrying the hatred of the country and the family alone, I can feel her murderous aura inadvertently revealed with a glance......"

Li Su smiled: "Don't say it so mysteriously, the minister is still the same sentence, everything is upheld, you are the future co-lord of the world, there are some things that you don't have to scruple about, you can do it if you want to, about the martial girl, accept it or not, this is the internal affairs of His Royal Highness's palace, and the minister is not involved." ”

Li Zhi nodded, and then suddenly laughed: "Yesterday I encountered a funny thing, after returning from this Eastern Crusade, do you remember the envoy sent by the Japanese State to Tang who came with you?" ”

Li Su's eyes flashed: "Of course I remember." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "There is a monk named Daozhao in the Tang envoy, this monk is a little lively, yesterday through the Honglu Temple officials introduced, came to my East Palace, and then knelt on the ground and cried, saying that the Tang Dynasty was not friendly to him, saying that Li Xiangong disliked him, and said that he couldn't learn something if he wanted to, the Tang Dynasty fortified the Tang envoy, Brother Zizheng, you didn't see that Daozhao crying bitterly, crying while looking for the pillar, look at the posture seems to want to hit the pillar in front of me and die to clear his mind, what about me, look left and right and feel that his appearance is a bit fake, So I didn't stop him, I just wanted to see if he could hit the post......"

Li Su also smiled: "What happened later? ”

"There are so many pillars in my big hall, I don't know if this monk is blind, Leng didn't see it, he cried for a long time in a fake appearance, and felt bored, so he gave up."

Li Susu smiled and shook his head: "This guy ...... Being a monk is really condescending, and being a prime minister is appropriate. ”

Li Zhi laughed and said, "These words can scold the eldest grandson's uncle." ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "The minister had no such intention, but he remembered a famous minister Lin Xiangru during the Warring States Period, when he was standing on the main hall of the King of Qin, holding the Heshi Bi and also wanted to find a pillar to hit, but the result was also pretending, this Taoist monk is comparable to him." The difference is that Lin Xiangru is upright, not afraid of tyranny, and has become famous through the ages, while this Dao Zhao, the same approach, seems extremely obscene and ridiculous. ”

The two laughed for a while, Li Zhi smiled, and sighed: "Yesterday, the monk of the Japanese Kingdom rolled around with me for a long time, and slowly I also asked some meaning, he wants our real rice seeds?" ”

Li Su nodded: "The day before yesterday, he went to my mansion, which is what he meant, but I refused, and Li Yifu, who studied agriculture, also refused." ”

Li Zhi said: "Or, let's just give him the rice seeds?" Let him continue to make trouble like this, it is really unseemly. ”

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that rice seeds can't be given!"

"Why?"

Li Su said lightly: "Fanbang small country, come to my Tang Dynasty do not know how to humbly learn Buddhist scriptures and sage scriptures, but look around with open eyes, take advantage of my Tang Dynasty, see something good and want to hug in his arms, the minister thinks, can not get used to their temper, and it is not the turn of the monkeys on this archipelago to take and ask in the territory of my Tang Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties to send Sui envoys, send Tang envoys are all treated as guests, but, if His Royal Highness flips through the historical books, you will know that after these monkeys came to my Central Plains, their hands and feet are not clean, they want to learn when they see good things, and they steal if they can't learn, But whatever they like, they will do whatever they want to get it, and even worse, they will take back what they have stolen to their kingdom, and make a slight change, and then claim that it is their own, and the shamelessness of that country is still hateful. Therefore, the ministers thought that it was time to teach them a lesson, otherwise they would raise the guise of 'I am weak and I am reasonable', and morally kidnap our Datang, and in the long run, it will further boost their arrogance. ”

Li Zhi hesitated: "But this Monk Zhao is very active, and the government and the opposition have already discussed it, if he makes more and more trouble, it will damage the reputation of my Tang Dynasty after all......"

Li Su sighed: "Your Royal Highness, everything is too much, the balance between the host and the guest must be taken care of, come to the host's house as a guest, you must have the consciousness of the guest as the host, if you don't have this awareness, you can take what is pleasing to the host's house, this is not called a guest, but a thief." If the master pretends to be generous and does not care, it will not only damage his own reputation, but also leave a cowardly and cowering image to others, and in the future, the envoys of this country will come to get something, and the envoys of that country will also come to take something. ”

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, according to what you said, the rice seeds will not be given to them, if the monk is still making trouble, ...... That's it, I don't care, I'll leave it all to you, this kind of sounds annoying. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "The ministers will handle it properly, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

Li Zhi thought for a while, and said: "However, when Brother Zizheng meets that monk in the future, we should be a little polite to him, we can not give him anything, but we still have to do the etiquette of the master's family, otherwise the monk is full of Chang'an and cries everywhere, and it is Brother Zizheng who will lose your face." ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "The minister tries to be polite to that monkey as much as possible......"

…………

Walking out of the main hall of the East Palace, Li Su's mood was a little heavy.

From the conversation with Li Zhi just now, Li Su probably understood one thing, Li Shimin's time is getting less and less, and he has almost reached the stage of entrusting Gu to explain the future, especially now that he has no trust in the imperial doctor, in order to prolong his life, he actually summoned Fang Shi into the palace to alchemy, which made his condition worse, and his life may have entered the countdown.

A glorious and magnificent era is about to pass.

What about the next era? What will it look like?

Walking down the stone steps outside the main hall, Li Su walked heavily, raised his head and swept it inadvertently, but saw a light figure standing quietly in front of him, his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, his body bowed slightly, still with that cautious look.

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Miss Wu, it's been a long time."

Wu looked a little plumper than before, wearing a pale green palace skirt, his hair was pulled into a high bun, his forehead was pasted with a three-leaf flower, and his cherry lips were lightly painted with rouge, which was more beautiful and moving than before.

Her complexion is very good, and there is a kind of spring breeze smug taste flying between her eyebrows, and since she has been reused by Li Zhi, she obviously has a kind of excitement about being rewarded for her ambition.

Seeing that Li Su took the initiative to greet him, Wu hurriedly curtched and saluted.

"The slave maid visits Grandpa Li."

Li Su said with a smile: "Now that you are a subordinate official of the East Palace, you can no longer call yourself a slave in front of me, and make people laugh when you say it." ”

Wu pursed his lips and said, "The slave maid is from the county government, this is a fact that cannot be changed, there is nothing wrong with calling yourself a slave maid in front of the grandfather." ”

Li Su smiled and didn't dwell on this issue.

"I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that Miss Wu has helped him a lot in state affairs, but I want to congratulate Miss Wu, but I can show my ambitions in life."

Wu lowered his eyelids and said softly: "The slave maid just helped His Highness sort out the music, and did not help much. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Miss Wu is humble, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very old, it is inevitable that he lacks experience, there is Miss Wu on the side, there will be fewer mistakes, we agreed at the beginning, you and I are all people who His Royal Highness the Prince relies on, and we should do our best to assist His Highness, for you and me, it is also a good story." ”

Wu Shi should be, suddenly looked up at him, and said, "Just now the grandfather and His Royal Highness were talking, and the slave and maid heard it outside the palace. ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, then a little embarrassed, and thought about it carefully, chatting with Li Zhi just now didn't seem to say anything bad about her, so he didn't feel justified, and said with a straight face: "The habit of eavesdropping is not good, hurry up and change it." ”

The corners of Wu's mouth hooked, but he still confessed, and then said: "Grandpa said to His Royal Highness that he wants him to take a slave as a side concubine?" Does Grandpa really think so? ”

Li Su smiled and said: "Everyone understands people, there is no need to be tempted, haven't you thought so?" ”

Wu's face froze, and he simply let go of his reserve, and said, "The slave did think so. ”

Li Su nodded: "With your ambition, the side concubine is not your ultimate goal, your goal is the crown prince and concubine, so becoming the side concubine of His Royal Highness is your first step, and next, you will have to break your wrists with the crown prince and concubine, right?" ”

Wu smiled bitterly: "The grandfather thinks of the slave and maid too unbearable, and it is too self-conscious, the prince is a virtuous and virtuous concubine, and she has the Taiyuan Wang family and even the entire Shandong Shi clan behind her as a backer, how can the slave and maid be able to bring down the concubine?" ”

"So, your goal is just to be the side concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wu shook his head: "The slave maid doesn't want to be a side concubine, she just wants to have a legitimate identity to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince share his worries, the slave maid has helped His Royal Highness deal with the sparseness in the past six months, and found that there are many stupid people in the Tang Dynasty and the local government, what they think and see, is not as good as the slave maid, the slave maid sees it in her eyes, and she is really anxious." ”

Li Suhan said with a smile: "Could it be that you want to be the prime minister of the three provinces?" ”

Wu sighed lightly: "I only hate the slave maid is a daughter, and I can't enter the court, if the world allows women to enter the court as ministers, the slave and maid ask themselves to be inferior, and do no worse than anyone else, but now, the slave and maid have to hide behind His Royal Highness the Prince, secretly help him deal with state affairs, for the slave and maid, I feel especially embarrassed and embarrassed." ”

Li Su thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is no fairness in the world, and I can't change this reality, so Miss Wu should be careful when helping His Royal Highness deal with the music, don't let outsiders know, otherwise it will reach the ears of His Majesty and the courtiers, and Miss Wu's life will be worried, after all, women are not allowed to interfere in the government, this is a taboo for the monarch and ministers." ”

Wu sighed: "The slave and maid know, so every time His Royal Highness reviews the recital, the slave and maid can only wait by the side as a palace maid to hide people's eyes and ears, but the slave and maid ...... It's really unwilling. ”

Li Su smiled: "How can things be as good as they should be? Everyone has unwilling things in the world, but most of these unwilling things can only endure, unless one day they are already strong, strong enough to change the rules, Miss Wu, you are still young, and there is still a lot of time left for you to slowly become stronger, at that time, maybe now you feel unwilling to solve the things yourself. ”

Wu looked at him suspiciously: "Grandpa doesn't seem to be averse to women's interference in politics?" You...... Acquiescing to the slaves and maids helping His Highness deal with state affairs? ”

"What do you and His Royal Highness do in the East Palace, it has nothing to do with me, this is a matter of the palace, and foreign ministers should not participate, as for your interference in politics, I do not support or oppose it, I want to be a bystander in this world, it is not my business to hide on the sidelines and watch the world surge, and Miss Wu, at least until now, you have not done anything to harm the world, why should I interfere?"

Wu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "What if one day, the slave maid does something out of the ordinary?" What will my grandfather do to me? ”

Li Su smiled: "Of course it's to get rid of you, otherwise, would you like to have a big meal?" ”

The words were said with a smile, but Wu suddenly felt shuddered, unconsciously shuddered, looked up at Li Su, and found that his smile was still so kind and kind, as if the words just now were just a small joke.

A cold sweat oozed from Wu's back.

She's not stupid, she knows what is a joke and what is the truth.

Bei Yan bit his lower lip, and Wu said unconvinced: "As Grandpa just said, if one day, the slave and maid are already strong, then the Grandpa may not be able to get rid of the slave and maid, right?" ”

Li Su still smiled brightly, and even winked at her mischievously: "You can try, guess if I can get rid of you." ”

Wu is like falling into an ice cellar.

The long-lost feeling of powerlessness once again struck and filled my heart. No matter how she faces Li Su at any time, she always feels very powerless, no matter how humble her status is or beautiful, no matter how well she knows how to disguise herself, she can be seen through at a glance in front of him, and then easily hold her in the palm of her hand.

Wu struggled to squeeze out a smile, trying to wipe away the strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"The slave is just a joke, grandpa don't take it seriously."

Li Su also smiled: "I'm also joking, I haven't done anything about destroying flowers with spicy hands, and you don't take it seriously." ”

The two looked at each other deeply, then saluted and said goodbye.

…………

…………

Walking out of the East Palace, Li Su's mind was spinning rapidly.

Li Shimin is dying, a new era is coming, and new troubles are coming.

The new dynasty has not been established, Li Su has been unknowingly swept into the center of the whirlpool, in the future court, the eldest grandson Wuji and other old ministers are a powerful force, Li Zhi's harem Wu clan may not be too peaceful, how to protect himself in this chaotic situation, or defeat the enemy, this is the problem that Li Su has to think about at present.

There is also the biggest trouble, that is, the force under Wang Zhi, it has become a knife hanging high on Li Su's neck, once Li Shimin dies, this knife will fall mercilessly.

Silently, Li Shimin seemed to have a problem for him, he was telling Li Su in a silent way that he must hand over all this force to the imperial court without piercing the window paper, otherwise, Li Su will definitely be a dead end.

Out of the palace gate of the East Palace, Fang Lao and the other troops stepped forward.

Li Su paused and said, "Fifth uncle, send a few awake and eye-catching people out of the family trilogy, follow the monk Daozhao of the Japanese Kingdom day and night, write down his every move every day, and come back to tell me." ”

Fang Lao Wu should be.

Then Fang Lao Wu said with a sad face: "Grandpa, it's okay for the brothers to steal knives and kill people, but tracking this kind of work, they are afraid that they don't play well enough, they haven't done it before, if they mess it, I hope Grandpa won't blame it." ”

Li Su smiled: "Forget it if you mess it up, will I blame my brother for a Japanese monkey?" Try to do it, and it's okay if you don't do it well. ”

Fang Lao Wu was relieved and grinned.
