Chapter 267: Song Dynasty Woman (8)
When the four palanquin men heard Liu Niangniang call them eldest brother, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting, "Liu Niangniang, you are a living Bodhisattva, and you know that it is not easy for us to suffer people; Also call us big brother! ”
Liu E smiled and said: "The four eldest brothers, please get up, before entering the palace, it is also a sufferer, and it is not easy for everyone to know that everyone is not easy; That's a pity! ”
Liu E glanced at Zhang Di as she said and said, "If Gonggong Zhang is not like this, you can choose four strong men among the guards in the back; and the four sedan chair brothers took turns to lift; It's going to be faster! ”
Chun Yu Wanyun saw Liu E's extra move, so she grabbed her and said, "Why does my sister take off her pants and fart...... The old horse is right behind, so I can ride it! ”
"Sister, what are you doing, go back to the sedan chair!" Liu E dragged Chun Yu Wanyun and pushed her into the sedan chair.
Zhang Di quickly selected four big men from the guards behind them and asked them to match with the four sedan chair drivers to form two shifts, and four people in each shift took turns to carry the sedan chair, and the speed really accelerated.
The four-seater sedan chair walked like flying forward, and Chun Yu Wanyun pinched Liu E's thigh and grinned: "My sister can really buy people's hearts!" If what you just happened came out of the mouths of the four palanquins, you would not be Li Shimin's wife, the eldest grandson queen! ”
Liu E heard Chun Yu Wanyun mention Empress Changsun, grabbed her hands tightly and said, "Sister, my sister pulled you into the sedan chair and was about to talk about Empress Changsun, but I didn't expect my sister to tell her first!" In that case, let's talk about women on the topic of Empress Eldest Sun! ”
Liu E: It is often said that behind a successful man stands a great woman, and Tang Taizong ruled the world for a long time; In addition to relying on a large number of ministers and generals under him, he is also inseparable from the assistance of his virtuous and gentle wife, Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun was the daughter of Changsun Sheng, a general of Xiaowei in the Sui Dynasty, and her mother, Gao Jingde, the father of the Gao family, served as the assassin of Yangzhou; Empress Changsun grew up in a family of eunuchs and received a set of orthodox education since she was a child, forming a knowledgeable and courteous, virtuous and gentle, honest and kind character.
When the eldest grandson was young, a divination gentleman said that she "carries all things, virtue is boundless, and she is unspeakably expensive." ”
When the eldest grandson was thirteen years old, he married Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan at that time, and was seventeen years old. But she has been able to do her best to serve her in-laws and teach her husband and children; She is a very competent little daughter-in-law who is deeply loved by her husband and in-laws.
Li Shimin was a young man who was both civil and military, and at the age of eighteen, he single-handedly broke into the enemy camp to rescue his father who was under siege; When he was twenty years old, he had the wind of a king to break the corporal, squandering wealth and recruiting heroes from all over the world; At the age of twenty-one, he raised troops in Taiyuan with his father Li Yuan, and personally led a large army to capture Chang'an, the capital of Sui, so that Li Yuan ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven and became the founding master of the Tang Dynasty - Tang Gaozu.
After Li Yuan became emperor, he named Li Shimin as the king of Qin, responsible for controlling the soldiers and horses in Kwantung; Within a few years, Li Shimin swept away the separatist forces in the Central Plains and completed the great cause of the unification of the Tang Dynasty. Above the other princes.
During Li Shimin's conquest of the north and the south, the eldest grandson and princess followed her husband closely and ran around, taking care of his daily life, so that Li Shimin could get a kind of gentle comfort like a spring in addition to the busy war; So that he will be more energetic and invincible in battle.
After Li Shimin was named General Tiance, he enjoyed special powers and was able to set up a set of official offices by himself; Yiran is the frame of a small court.
At that time, the generals who served him under his command included Li Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Zhai Changsun, Qin Wutong, Wei Chigong and other brave generals who could fight well.
Wenchen has Du Ruhai, Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Yao Shilian, Li Xuandao, Cai Yungong, Xue Yuanjing, Yan Xiangshi, Su Xun, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Xue Shui, Li Shousu, Lu Qingming, Kong Yingda, Gai Wenyuan, Xu Jingzong and other "eighteen bachelors".
Li Shimin has such a well-known situation, which naturally makes Li Jiancheng, the incompetent prince who was greedy and lustful at that time, uneasy; Out of suspicion and jealousy, he and his third brother Li Yuanji attempted to murder his brother Li Shimin; The conspiracy was discovered by Li Shimin's strategists.
In desperation, under the persuasion of his brother-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji, and his adviser Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin finally made up his mind to get rid of the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji in Xuanwumen.
Soon, Li Shimin was made the crown prince; In fact, Tang Taizu Li Yuan also appreciated his second son the most.
For this kind of cannibalistic tragedy, the eldest grandson princess was originally strongly opposed; But in the face of brutal politics. Govern. Fight. What can you do if you fight for her as a woman? She had to try to understand her husband.
In August of the ninth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, Li Yuan gave the throne to the crown prince Li Shimin because of his advanced age; Li Shimin became Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the tide rose, and the eldest grandson princess was immediately established as the eldest grandson queen of the world; Fulfilled the prophecy of Mr. Divination that she "carries all things".
As the supreme queen, the eldest grandson is not arrogant and arrogant; As always, she maintained the virtues of virtuous and frugal.
For the old and idle Emperor Li Yuan, she served very respectfully and meticulously; Every morning and evening, he must go to greet him, and always remind the palace maid next to the emperor how to adjust his daily life; Like an ordinary daughter-in-law, she does her best to be filial.
For the concubines in the harem, the eldest grandson queen is also very tolerant and obedient; She is not bent on winning favor, but routinely advises Li Shimin to treat every concubine fairly.
Because of this, Tang Taizong's harem rarely had jealous rhymes; This is a rare occurrence in the past.
Although Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of Sui had also governed the harem in an orderly manner, she relied on autocratic policies and skills; And Empress Changsun, with only her dignified character, wordlessly influenced and influenced the atmosphere of the entire harem; so that Tang Taizong will not be disturbed by the rights and wrongs of the harem, and can concentrate on military affairs; No wonder Tang Taizong was very respectful of her.
Although Empress Changsun was born in a noble family, she is now rich in the world; But she has always followed a frugal and simple lifestyle, and her clothes and supplies are not luxurious and beautiful; The food and banquet are never extravagant, so it also drives the simple fashion in the harem; It happened to set an example for the implementation of Tang Taizong's policy of governing the country with great efforts.
Because Empress Changsun acted uprightly, Tang Taizong also valued her very much; When he returned to the harem, he often talked with her about some military affairs and details of rewards and punishments; Although Empress Changsun is a very insightful woman, she is reluctant to intervene in national affairs in her special capacity; She has her own set of principles, believing that men and women are different and should perform their own duties, so she said: "The hen is not the right way in the morning, and it is also ominous for a woman to foresee political affairs." ”
Tang Taizong insisted on listening to her opinion, but Empress Changsun couldn't resist it; said his opinion, which he had come up with after careful consideration: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, just let the virtuous advise, and the other concubines will not understand......"
After Liu E finished talking about the eldest grandson, her eyes moistened; Stared at Chun Yu Wanyun and did not speak.
Chun Yu Wanyun grabbed Liu E's hand tightly and said, "My sister tells the virtuous story of the eldest grandson queen, and my sister seems to understand something?" ”
Liu E stared at Chun Yu Wanyun and didn't speak, she was waiting for Chun Yu Wanyun's words.
Chun Yu Wanyun smiled and said, "My sister must have said that the Holy Lord intends to make you the queen, but the ministers oppose it, right?" ”
Liu E was silent, but she stared at the woman in front of her who was originally her aunt herself but called her sister; I know that she still has a bit of aura.
Seeing that Liu E was silent, Chun Yu Wanyun sighed and continued: "The old body knows that there is a guy named Zhao Anren who advocated the establishment of Shen Lun's granddaughter Shen Defei as his sister and was demoted back to his hometown by the saint; Now there are still stubborn guys like Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an! ”
Liu E was still silent, but Chun Yu Wanyun's words seemed to be very much in line with her.
Chun Yu Wanyun cleared her throat and said: "Kou Zhun's donkey is more serious, and the old body and Brother Xue will let him obediently embrace his sister to become the queen!" ”
Liu E smiled and said, "My sister is right, my sister is not just thinking about becoming a queen; There are also big things about the successors of the country! ”
Liu E said and suddenly hugged Chun Yu Wanyun tightly and said: "Sister, it is a lifelong regret that Liuliu cannot give birth to a boy and a half girl for the emperor; As a last resort, Li Lanhui was brought from Guang'an Temple, and Liuliu asked her when she came here just now; Li Lanhui said that the emperor pampered her 3 times in a row last night, maybe she was pregnant! ”
"Thank God thank your ancestors!" Chun Yu Wanyun grabbed Liu E's hand tightly and said: "Li Lanhui is really going to get pregnant, and that sister has the greatest credit!" ”
"My sister has an idea!" Liu E said solemnly: "If Li Lanhui can really conceive the prince and give birth, Liuliu and her sister will raise her together; I don't know what my sister thinks......"
Without waiting for Chun Yu Wanyun to answer Liu E's words, he heard Zhang Di shout: "Two Niangniang, the mansion of the prince is ......."
