Chapter 662: A fetter that follows like a shadow, Emperor Li overcomes rigidity with softness
The medicine king Sun Simiao suddenly appeared in Luoyang, and he was still seeing the emperor Li Hong!
Such a piece of news caused quite a stir in the upper echelons of Luoyang. Who doesn't have a headache and brain fever these days, so all the powerful will only use a few famous doctors who are familiar with the disease, and the royal family is even more so. However, a heavyweight famous doctor like Sun Simiao, who can almost be ranked with Bian Que and Zhang Zhongjing, how many are there in ancient and modern times?
Although the big people don't believe much in the myths of the aphrodisiac to get rid of the disease, Sun Simiao is too famous, and it can't help but make people wonder if the sick Li Hong will be strong overnight and become a generation of heroes. When someone inquired that this famous medicine king was personally invited by Li Xian, there were not a few people who were dumbfounded.
Is there such a selfless prince? The age difference between Li Hong and Li Xian is only one year, if Li Hong is healthy and lives a long life, it can be said that Li Xian will never have the possibility of ascending the throne, why doesn't he know?
Countless young officials who wanted to earn the merit of supporting the establishment secretly beat their chests, and the prime ministers with high prestige like the old Shangguan were all happy. Royal Brotherhood Harmony? That dare is good, do you have to fight to the death like Emperor Taizong's sons, so that it is over? The prince is really virtuous!
For a while, they were all pleasing to the eyes of the shops that Li Xian opened when he was not doing business. The strange way is a golden sign of virtue everywhere, and this is really as good as its name! So, when Li Xian sent the news that the medicine king Sun Simiao was prescribing a prescription for Li Hong to recuperate his body to Jiucheng Palace, the original four ministers joined Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan, who had just arrived in Luoyang, and sent a joint letter, one to Jiucheng Palace, and the other to Huiyou Palace.
The central meaning is very simple, Li Xian is virtuous and filial, and he should be praised heavily!
However, Li Xian, who was enjoying the shade in the garden at home this night, lay on the rattan chair and winked at his wife and concubine with a smile: "I don't care about the so-called reputation of virtuous and filial piety. As long as this is what suits my heart, others are unhappy and point at my spine and scold. I'm going to do it too. Turn. What I am not happy about is that no matter how many people persuade me, I will not do it. ”
"Cut, who doesn't know your weird temper, I'm not rare for me to be virtuous, filial and benevolent!" Helan Yan said as he cut open a cold melon. Skillfully took out all the melon sacs and cut them into small pieces, and then stuffed a small piece into Li Xian's mouth, "The fifth brother of the emperor is virtuous and filial piety and benevolence, but you don't feel comfortable doing anything, I see that those old guys are setting you up!" ”
"Those who know me, good wives too!" Li Xian grabbed Helan Yandi and put his hand on his face, because he had just washed it in the basin, it was extremely cold and comfortable. It's just that it hasn't been enjoyed for long. Helan Yan broke free by himself, and he was pinched on the arm, and what caught his eye were two pregnant women who were the key protection objects, as well as a certain glorious mother.
Sensei said that these two couldn't afford to offend in the first place, but now that they are pregnant, even Xu Yan, who has a good temper, is a bit of a tigress, and Li Xian doesn't dare to slack off. Hurriedly smiled and said, "I know that the good wives of my family will never admit their names like that kind of uninformed woman, cough." This father and brother are naturally respected, and of course your good wives are no exception. There is a way that ten years of repairing a boat together, and a hundred years of repairing to sleep together, which can be a deep bond between husband and wife, isn't it? ”
A sentence that was so popular in later generations that it could no longer be said at this moment. Suddenly made the four charming beauties in front of him radiant. Even the white eyes that were thrown over were more like winkheads.
flirting and scolding for a while, Xu Yan finally had a tender face. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and changed the topic: "By the way, Liulang, you left the Medicine King behind, and made someone report to the Emperor, will the Emperor Taishang return from the Jiucheng Palace as soon as possible?" ”
What's this...... Li Xian suddenly fell into deep thought. Although his father and mother went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, I have to say that his mother, who was the first in history, didn't seem to be very interested in such a thing as vacation, and almost every day wrote a letter to ask about state affairs. At first, he wrote a reply seriously, but later found that he couldn't finish the report, so he simply found a scribe to write it for him, and finally wrote two sentences of his own signature.
Although this method is lazy, because of the detailed report, it is sprinkled with nearly 10,000 words every time, but instead of voting for the fate of the martial arts, not only can you get two good words every three or five times, but even the scribe who is responsible for recording major events has also been promised to be promoted.
"My father seems to be very concerned about the body, but he is very concerned about that ...... Well, the two-person world is afraid that they care more, after all, he is not bad now. "Dare to comment on the current Emperor Taishang, there is no doubt that there is only one such as Li Xian, anyway, the people in front of him are those few people in his own family, and he doesn't have to worry about others listening," so when my father heard the news, he would most likely continue to escape the summer, anyway, the medicine king would not leave for a while. As for the queen mother......"
"The queen mother probably wants to come back sooner."
Qu Tushen didn't wait for Li Xian to finish speaking, and then said with a smile, and the subtle expression when Empress Wu looked at him appeared in his mind. Counting up, when she met Li Xian, she was about the same age as Empress Wu met Li Zhi in the past, and then she married and Empress Wu returned to the palace. Of course, she didn't have an unforgettable deep palace experience like Empress Wu, although she was no longer young when she married a wife, but in general, her whole life has been smooth, so she can only experience about four or five out of ten of Empress Wu's state of mind.
But she can still conclude that her mother-in-law is absolutely unwilling to be only a queen...... No, it should be said that it is the Empress Taishang.
Just as Li Xian's family speculated, when Li Xian's private message was sent to Jiucheng Palace, saying that he had retained Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, to recuperate and treat Li Hong's body, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were very happy at the same time in Jiucheng Palace. Although both of them were happy that the emperor's condition had taken a turn for the better, the additional emphasis was different.
Li Zhi is most happy that Li Xian's son really has the ability, and he can leave that Sun Simiao, who is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he will not be afraid of illness in the future. And the happiest thing about the Empress Wu is that she can use this opportunity as an opportunity to persuade her husband to return to Luoyang. In the past 20 days of summer vacation, the fast horses going back and forth between Luoyang and Jiucheng Palace have never stopped, although she can know the wind and grass in Luoyang, but this feeling of not being able to control remotely is really not very good.
However, this best excuse was beaten back by Li Zhi's method of overcoming rigidity with softness: "Mei Niang, with Xian'er's ability, since Sun Simiao is like him, it is not so easy to get out, even if he waits until the weather is cooler and goes back, he will definitely not leave." In this matter, the officials are right, they should praise the virtuous people! However, my health is no better now, and I don't need any miracle medicine king for a while. As long as you are by your side every day, I have nothing else to ask for! ”
If Li Xian is asked to evaluate, then he will definitely say that this is very sensual, quite sensual. However, as an emperor, even if the abdicated emperor affectionately said such a sentence to his wife who was no longer young, people would not be moved. Empress Wu is not born with a heart of stone, if she was only greedy for Li Zhi's power at the beginning, then after more than 20 years of husband and wife, she also has deep feelings for this husband who is four years younger than herself.
And most importantly, after the death of her sister Mrs. Han and Xu Zande, the only one left in the palace, no one snatched her husband from her, and this feeling of exclusivity also weakened her guard that she had cultivated in the deep palace for many years.
Although she was still worried about the situation in Luoyang, she could only say half-angrily and half-angrily: "Your Majesty is getting older and more indecent now, if you let others hear it, saying that the old husband and wife are still doing this, what is it like!" ”
"Where are the outsiders here?"
Leaving Luoyang City, Li Zhi felt that his mood was suddenly brightened, and the nagging syndrome that had been attacking some time ago had also been alleviated a lot, and many of them dragged a strong wife to accompany him to escape the summer. People say that young couples are old companions, and in the past, the Empress Wu was busy with state affairs and ignored him, how could he, the husband, have no complaints? Thinking that there were two sons on Luoyang's side who were sincerely cooperating, he smiled and took Empress Wu's hand and continued to climb the mountain with great interest.
Although there were still many retinues behind him, Empress Wu felt that Li Zhi had some signs of old children recently, so he could only go with him. Not only that, but there is also a contradiction in her heart at this time, on the one hand, she wants to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to regain power, and on the other hand, she is quite nostalgic for this kind of good time when the husband and wife are alone, and her eyes can't help but be a little confused.
In Chang'an City, Liu Renliang, who finally didn't have to fight against the wind and sand in the northwest, stepped into the Daming Palace, and there was a feeling of being separated from the world. Of course, he knows the selfishness of the gang in the political affairs hall, but he is not a fool, and he will never do anything to come forward to fight in the ring at this time. Moreover, he vaguely remembered that Li Xian once said that distance produces beauty. He is far away from Luoyang in Chang'an, which is more secure to jump out of right and wrong.
He is already an old man, and he is already a very good minister after turning over, and he may not have to compete for the chief prime minister.
Just when he was about to re-establish his prestige in Chang'an with this kind of consideration, news finally came from Luoyang, saying that Shangguan Yi and others jointly praised the virtue of the emperor's brother, which surprised him. After figuring out the whole story, the old Liu Tou also pulled his beard again and again with satisfaction.
In the early years, he was worried that Li Xian's edge was too revealing to cover his brother, but now it seems that this development momentum is quite gratifying. From this point of view, if the future emperor Li Hongzhen has three strengths and two weaknesses, Li Xian's succession must not be bad...... Wait, Li Hong also has a son raised under Li Xian's knees, won't he even have the next prince at that time?
For his unexpected discovery, Liu Renliang suddenly became happy, and actually hummed a little song in the political hall. When several officials who stayed in Chang'an came to perform the matter, they found such a scene, and immediately fell into a state of aphasia---- what is it that makes this old prime minister, who is the best at picking bones in eggs, so happy?
