This result is also deliberately done by Gaozong, he also came from the position of the prince, and knows the urgency of looking forward to the real government, at this time, let him have more sense of accomplishment, and will improve his self-confidence.

At this time, unlike before, he was not far from the day of departure, and he did not want to leave his son with more strictness, and the teaching stick was applied enough, and the appropriate encouragement was more effective.

Gaozong then turned to Li Zhi:

"The Danjiang River leading to Ezhou can be regarded as finding a lifeline for Chang'an City, and the future restoration of the river is just around the corner, but the narrow river width from Shangluo County to Longju Village is solved by the people themselves, which is a wake-up call for the imperial court!"

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Cao Yun has been hindered because of this, if the relevant officials have the heart, I am afraid that it can be widened in two months at most, but it has been shelved for five years, this is no longer the nature of official inaction, full of food all day long, no intentions, their hearts can be punished!" ”

"Do you know who was in office back then?" Gojong's eyes sparkled.

Li Zhi shook his head and sighed: "I just complain, I never inquire about specific government affairs, as long as I don't hinder my work, I will hide far away!" ”

Seeing Gaozong looking at him, Li Xian hurriedly said: "The township officials of Longju Village back then are not clear, but Shangluo County makes me vaguely remember that it should be the Wu family!" ”

How did he know this, it was Li Zhi, who was behind Gaozong, whose lips moved, and told him that the three words of the Wu family were still easy to identify.

Gaozong's face was even more joyful: "Prince, you are more pragmatic than me, you actually remember the incumbent official of an inconspicuous small county town a few years ago, you are more and more favored!" ”

He didn't show any unusual expressions because the Wu family appeared again, and the Empress Wu has been involved in political affairs for nearly thirty years, and it is really normal to arrange more of his own people.

At this moment, the topographic map had been hung, and Gaozong only glanced at it, and his mouth was smacking: "Sure enough, the treasure that is so luxurious that it can surprise me has not been seen for decades!" ”

Li Zhi leaned over at the right time to pick him up, and Gaozong moved a few steps to the front, looking at him inch by inch, his head was constantly swinging slightly, and his face was affectionately changing.

After a full stick of incense, Gao Zong opened his mouth and sighed:

"It's a good thing, the brocade craftsmanship is very exquisite, and the gold and silver two-color threads on it are also delicately matched, but it is ruined by the large amount of emerald jade to decorate the green. Everything has a degree, too much, there is a degree of checks and balances, balance and moderation, in order to sway freely! You see, such a dense green decoration, but do not understand the density and blank, perhaps because the people of the Western Regions like to be paranoid, or maybe because the producer is negligent in artistic understanding! ”

Compared with screening treasures and appreciating fine products, Li Xian is obviously much more clever than Li Zhi:

What Aya said is that the layout of the whole text must be sparse and dense, so as to break the flat plate, be uniform, have ups and downs, contrasts, contradictions and harmony, so as to obtain a good artistic taste. Masters who know how to leave blank space are often good at showing the width of the world and the earth, and this technique is more subtle and restrained than directly using color to render expression. ”

"The prince's words did not lose the cultivation of the small, I am very pleased, I didn't expect that you have impressed me several times today!" It seems that Gaozong is planning to use up all the words of praise today.

The color on Li Xian's face was deeply hidden, but he clenched his fists and bowed, showing a flattered attitude: "The younger generations of the emperor's family, which one of them has been misunderstood, or Aya's strict teachings, so that the younger generations always keep in mind, be cautious in their orders, and dare not slack off!" ”

The corners of Li Zhi's mouth darkened, this sycophant made him sigh to himself, the key is the sincerity of Li Xian's attitude, which made him, a bystander, believe it.

Gaozong really felt more and more comfortable:

"I was

I was shocked by a painting, a small boat, a fisherman fishing, there is not a trace of water in the whole painting, and I feel that the smoke and waves are vast, and the whole picture is full of water. Give people room for imagination, so that the blank art of winning has a high aesthetic value, as the so-called nothing here is better than something. ”

His face suddenly changed:

"Prince, give this painting to your mother, by the way, mention the matter of Shangluo County and Longju Village, I Datang Sheji, need to be more conscientious, two months of dredging but five years of no action, no wonder there will be a food shortage in Chang'an City!"

Li Zhi was still difficult to adapt to Gaozong's sudden style of acting, and his mood changed without warning, obviously he didn't really stop thinking in his head while tasting.

Li Xian was accustomed to this kind of sudden change of thinking, so he turned around and asked the chamberlain to take off the topographic map.

Li Zhi carried Gaozong back to the dragon couch, and his voice rose again: "Recall Yue'er too!" By the way, go to the desk and get that self-warming cup! ”

Li Xian quickly took a jade cup, and placed it lightly in front of Gaozong, several cups were blue, with lines like messy silk, the wall of the cup was as thin as paper, and there were wisps of gold on the foot of the cup, which was called "self-warming cup".

Gaozong stretched out his hand and took it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Li Zhi: "Pour the wine into the cup, the wine can warm itself, and there is heat coming out, and after a little longer, the wine surface will boil like boiling water." This is the thing of true love, and it will be given to you. ”

Li Zhi took it with both hands, carefully held it in his hand and looked at it, and was very happy in his heart, this is the real treasure, much more exquisite than any treasure in Zhengqing Wenqitang.

Gaozong also ordered Li Xian to hand over the jade deed that belonged to him: "When the prince returns, another ink deed will be used in conjunction with this jade deed, and you can enter and exit the palace gates freely, and then hold the Shang Fang sword, even if you are in the middle of the night, you can enter the palace!" ”

The Tang Dynasty had a strict system for entering and exiting the palace gates: officials made a register in advance and registered in the door register, and when entering and exiting, in addition to carrying "talismans" that matched their respective official qualities, they must also have the emperor's ink edict, even the crown prince was no exception.

The jade deed is a "talisman", and only a person at the level of the crown prince is eligible to obtain a jade talisman.

Mo Yi also has other functions, popularly explained, that is, the master pass can freely enter and exit the local access control of any nature, and there is a part of the effect of the holy decree, although it is not possible to mobilize military horses, it is still useful to temporarily convene local officials.

In the eyes of the court officials, the ink edict is also an edict, and the effect is the same, and the summoned person not only has to come to pay respects, but also needs to say "Fengyi" when they meet, which actually has the meaning of a secret decree.

Li Zhi knew that it was not very detailed, and Li Xian stepped forward with a smile to explain: "Mr. Li, especially in the locality, even if there is a festival envoy, you hold the ink and shout: I am so-and-so, and I am here; Now there is ink, and it can be reported to the governor of Rudu. Think about it, isn't it imposing! ”

Li Zhi was surprised, not because of Mo Yi's incomparable dignity, but because Li Xian actually dared to say such a joke in front of Gaozong.

Unexpectedly, Gaozong laughed and said, "The prince has a heart!" Text, there is a reason why he said such jokes in front of me, it was when the prince was a child, he should have been less than seven years old, right? ”

Li Xian reminded on the side: "Back to Aya, I was just six years old that year!" ”

Gaozong suddenly said: "Is it so small? At that time, the prince was playing chess with me, and there was a song to come, hoping to surrender the ink and the talisman, the prince was still young, so he asked what it was, and I explained it to him like this! ”

Saying that there is a heart, the listener is intentional, this is the father and son with special identities in front of them, and they are nostalgic for the interesting things of the year, but Li Zhi, the observer, suddenly felt a wisp of sadness in his heart.

He knew that Li Xian was using this way to comfort his father, who was about to die, which was not only a beautiful memory of his own carefree childhood, but also a rare moment for Gaozong to experience family affection.

Such a small thing, which can be remembered by the young Li Xian at the time, undoubtedly brings only comfort to Gaozong.

At this time, Gaozong's eyes looked at Li Xian, and he did suddenly become much warmer, which was completely different from the silence when the father and son were together before.

Li Zhiqiang covered up his sadness and said with a smile: "I'm going to go to Guangzhou after the year, and I often come and go to the Lingnan Provincial Governor's Mansion, so at that time, I will take out this ink and call in front of the door to see how the Midu Governor will react!" ”

Gaozong laughed, "The Metropolitan Governor of Lingnan Province is Mirui, right?" That's a family surnamed Li, who is simple, does things well, is sincere, brave and good at fighting! ”

"Indeed, this man's sincerity and high esteem is that of the Arab Emperor's envoy Mahdi, and he is highly praised!" Li Zhi took the opportunity to say a few good words for him.

Gaozong looked at Li Xian again: "Regarding the adoption of some local officials, listen to the suggestions of the text in the future, he has been walking at the grassroots level for a long time, and he is familiar with the temperament of each person, and the orders can be carried out smoothly, which is the top priority of whether to implement it or not!" ”

"The kid wrote it down!"

Li Xian was teaching the way of the emperor until his father, including asking him to send the topographic map to the Jade Palace, which was obviously a metaphor for some circular things.

At this time, Wu Zetian held the regency in his hand, which would have a huge restraining effect on him, the future king, and before he really ascended the throne, having good communication with him would naturally help the gradual control of the imperial power.

At this time, the topographic map had been rolled up intact, and under the urging of Gaozong, Li Xian took the order and left, and he was still in a good mood.

Seeing the prince's figure disappear, Gaozong said: "In front of the prince, I will hand over the privilege to you for the ultimate protection of his Empress Wei." This son will not have a deep understanding at this time, but the particularity of your authority needs to be informed to him in advance! ”

Li Zhi replied respectfully: "I have written these down!" ”

"His Wei's family, why don't you suggest taking it early?"

"After the martial arts, women have become in power, but they are all based on the weakness of the Son of Heaven to really take power, even if Webster is not there, there will be other clans to take the opportunity. The minister thinks that when the power struggle is surging and changing rapidly, the stability of the political center is the first priority, and only by clarifying the threat can it be more targeted to prevent and control, and once the newcomer takes the position at that time, it will inevitably be another internal struggle for power, which is extremely unfavorable to the stability of the political center! ”

The so-called weakness of the Son of Heaven is an obscure word, in fact, it is the weakness and incompetence of the emperor of the current dynasty, Li Zhi is facing the future emperor's Lao Tzu at the moment, of course, he will not be so unscrupulous.

"The chicken is in the morning, but the family is the rope; The servants are chaotic, people think they are different, and they are corrupt, and the disasters are especially bad. But looking at my imperial power in this world, all of them were ruined by a disease, and the Wu clan's ruling on behalf of the monarch laid the root of the future women's power, and the original sin still came out of me! ”

Gaozong waved his hand to stop Li Zhi's desire to speak, "When I wanted to make her the queen, it was several main representatives of the Guanlong aristocratic group who stood up to oppose her, and the leaders were the emperor's uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, etc. This struggle was the first fierce head-on struggle in Wu's political career, and she was the victor in the end, thus sowing the seeds of hatred for the aristocracy. ”

Hearing the follow-up, Li Zhi was also speechless for a while, Gaozong was actually right, Empress Wu's current strength was precisely because she rushed out of the crisis step by step, and she gradually relied on her power to cover the sky with one hand.

But blaming Gaozong for this is also a bit extreme, and there is no doubt how much pain he endured under his illness, and the strange headache has worn away his ambition, but it is too late to wake up.
