Empress Wu ostensibly behaved very relaxed about going to see the big tree tomorrow, and just treated it as an interesting matter.

But in fact, she attaches great importance to this matter, for an ambitious woman, the Zen Ceremony is for the courtiers and the people of the world to see, and this big tree she is for the emperor to see.

Empress Wu had just received the news of this big tree and saw the big tree on the picture, and she had already made a decision in her heart that she must dedicate this auspicious rui to the emperor.

She wants to make a good fuss on this big tree, let the emperor know that husband and wife are one, for the imperial power, isn't the power of the emperor the power of the queen, so the queen handles the government for the emperor, that is not called a woman to interfere in politics, that is called a matter of course, because the husband and wife are one, and the big tree has grown into such an auspicious rui, can't others see it, this is the clear indication of God!

When Li Rizhi said goodbye to Xu Jingzong and wanted to rest, he was still thinking about whether he should go to Tong Guinu, but now Tong Guinu should be very busy, so he was still hesitating whether to go to find it, for fear that Tong Guinu would be too busy to see him.

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I didn't need Li Rizhi to find Tong Guinu, Tong Guinu was waiting for him directly at the gate of the palace!

Tong Guinu saw Li Rizhi coming, and smiled at him and said, "Zhiming, why did it take so long to come out, we have been waiting for you here for a long time!" ”

Now because Li Rizhi is getting more and more attention after martial arts, Tong Guinu no longer trusts him, but directly calls his cousin to show closeness.

Li Rizhi didn't dare to hold it up in front of him, Tong Guinu is a third-grade member, don't look at him as a eunuch, but since he has sat in the position of eunuch, he is already a courtier in the Tang Dynasty, and he is no longer a royal minion.

Of course, Tong Guinu himself still wants to be a slave of the royal family, and being a slave to the royal family is much tougher than being a minister.

Li Rizhi smiled and said: "There is the general manager of Lao, the lower official doesn't know that the chief manager is waiting here, if he knows, he will come out early, just now the lower official went to see Xu Xiang and said something about Bocheng County." ”

Tong Guinu and Li Rizhi walked out side by side, and he asked, "Did you talk about that big tree, the auspicious rui you reported?" ”

Li Rizhi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Xu Xiang specially asked about this big tree, and said that he was very interested in going to see it tomorrow." ”

Tong Guinu said: "That big tree, the queen mother is very concerned, so today our family is going there, to take a look for the queen mother, if there is anything that needs to be dealt with in advance, then our family has to deal with the queen mother in advance, and there can be no accident tomorrow." ”

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "What can be any accidents, is the chief manager afraid that someone will destroy the big tree?" Don't worry, there are dozens of people watching around that big tree, and no matter what, it won't let anything happen to it. ”

Tong Guinu snorted, asked someone to prepare the horse, he brought a few entourages, and then said to Li Rizhi: "Zhiming, our family is going to go there to see, if there is any situation, our family will send someone back to find you, you better not go around, so as not to find you when you get it." ”

Li Rizhi sighed, he didn't expect Tong Guinu to attach so much importance to this matter, but seeing that Tong Guinu didn't want to accompany him, he couldn't open this mouth, so he could only nod his head and say yes, and watched Tong Guinu and his party leave.

Early the next morning, the honor guard of the emperor and Empress Wu marched to Bocheng County, but in fact, the place to go was not Bocheng County, but the auspicious place.

Li Rizhi followed the team, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he saw Tong Guinu attaching so much importance to this matter yesterday, and he was a little worried in his heart, could it be that someone wanted to take advantage of this auspicious rui and then attack Queen Wu, he didn't want to get involved in the turmoil, but if someone really wanted to take advantage of this matter, then he himself could only fight back, anyway, he couldn't let others pit him.

But there were no accidents along the way, and the guard of honor did not move too fast, and it was not until the afternoon that they reached the little hill, and when they were far away, they saw the big tree.

Li Rizhi was in the team of the ministers, and he heard someone in the team whisper: "Is that auspicious tree referring to that big tree, it's not unusual, in the official's hometown, there are such big trees, and there are even trees that are stranger than this big tree!" ”

The minister who spoke had a strong southern accent, and Li Rizhi couldn't tell where he was, but presumably what the minister said was true, in the extreme south, the weather was hot, the trees grew luxuriantly, and in the big forests in the south, there might be many big trees like this, and this minister should be telling the truth.

But even if it's telling the truth, but at this time, it's very underdrawn, which is very eyeless, and I don't know what it means to be a curse!

As soon as the minister finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, you talk a lot, you miss your hometown so much, then don't be an official in the court, go back to your hometown to pick fruits!" ”

After the official with a southern accent was reprimanded, he didn't dare to squeak, but he really quieted down.

Li Rizhi listened to the accent of the reprimanding official a little familiar, and couldn't help but look back, and found that that person turned out to be Helan Minzhi, and coincidentally, at this time, Helan Minzhi also happened to look at Li Rizhi.

The two looked at each other, and Helan Minzhi immediately raised his eyes and glared at Li Rizhi viciously.

Li Rizhi's face was expressionless, and then he turned his face back, but he secretly thought in his heart: "It turned out to be this mad dog, Helan evil animal actually followed, it's really unlucky, and let him see me, this guy has always had nothing to do, he likes to find fault, so he has to stay away from him." ”

On the frame, Empress Wu opened the curtain of the car and looked at the big tree not far away, she exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, look, it's that tree, this tree is really auspicious, it must have really been planted by Qin Shi Huang!" ”

The emperor in the car sat up straight, looked out of the car, and happened to see the big tree, there is no such big tree in Chang'an City, the emperor saw it fresh this time.

I saw that this big tree not only divided, but also the two branches were tangled together, and finally formed a canopy like an umbrella cover at the top, which did look a bit like the royal ceremonial umbrella cover in the Qin and Han dynasties.

The emperor nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, this big tree is indeed auspicious, it is truly auspicious!" ”

Suddenly, Empress Wu sat down beside the emperor, with tears in her eyes, reached out and grabbed the emperor's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, when the concubine saw this big tree, she couldn't help but think of the concubine and Your Majesty. Your Majesty, look at this big tree, those two entangled branches, aren't they just like us, just like husband and wife, holding up a piece of heaven and earth, sheltering our children from the wind and rain, and also sheltering the people of the whole world! ”
