Chapter 399 Empress Wu is warm and affectionate, and Emperor Li is happy to hear the news

More than Liaodong, which is far away, almost one news comes back every day, but the distance from Luoyang has to be reported every two or three days. For this situation, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were naturally dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction reached the extreme when they learned that Li Xian had actually left all the officials of the Yongwang Mansion in Liangzhou, and he was on the expedition with He Li.

"This boy who doesn't know the height of the sky!"

Li Zhi, who rarely gets angry in front of people, couldn't help but roar, and then sighed helplessly: "I should have known that he had this temper, and he shouldn't have let him go." If you are other princes, you only need to sit in Liangzhou, and when the time comes, you are afraid that those soldiers will lose their merits, so why take that kind of risk! Nonsense, it's nonsense! ”

At this time, it was already night outside, and the dark night was a little cold, but the Zhenguan Hall was still brightly lit, warm and pleasant. Seeing that her husband was repeating those words, Empress Wu couldn't help but laugh, but then her face sank. Now that he has left Liangzhou and set foot on that snowy plateau, no one can say what will happen next. Although she doesn't understand military affairs, she has found a few people who understand military affairs these days and consulted for a while, and she is becoming more and more worried.

After settling down, she took a robe from Wang Fushun's hand, stepped forward and gently covered Li Zhi's shoulder, and immediately persuaded softly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, Xian'er has been smart since childhood, this time it must be a great fortune, and besides, General Qi Bi He Li is old, brave and strategic, full of tenacity, with such a veteran to assist Xian'er, why not win?" ”

"You know to say good things for him!" Although the words were not angry, Li Zhi still gently patted his wife's hand on the shoulder, and finally simply turned around. Facing the Empress of the Martial Arts. "I watched Xian'er grow up. Seeing that he was both civil and military, he was worried that he and Hong'er would be like the story of the eldest brother and the fourth brother competing for the throne. Now it seems that Hong'er, the prince, is virtuous and filial enough. And Xian'er is also in harmony with his brother, and my heart is let go. Mei Niang, you are a good son for me. ”

For women in the palace, pampering is important, but the rest is equally important, therefore. Seeing Li Zhi praising his son, Empress Wu felt that there was nothing wrong with her mother's suggestion. If she can really be a prince and a virtuous king, her status will never be shaken, and the highest throne of the Tang Dynasty will definitely belong to her son in the future, and it will never be someone else.

And in her hands, she will always hold the authority to decide the overall situation.

As a result, the smile on her face became more and more sunny: "Your Majesty." Isn't the son of the concubine the son of His Majesty? They are virtuous, filial piety and friendship, and the mother of the concubine is meritorious, isn't it that Your Majesty, the father, teaches the law? ”

"Hahahaha, Mei Niang, you're right. The son belongs to you and me, and I am not mistaken. No effort was wasted! ”

Being praised by his wife like this, Li Hefa felt proud in his heart, and the trace of anger that was originally born out of concern for Li Xian's safety immediately disappeared. In his opinion, since there are 40,000 soldiers and horses accompanying him, since there are veterans like Qibi He Li, since there are generals like Duguqing, Yun Xin, Wenling, and Heizhi Changzhi, and with the help of Pei Yan and others, even if Li Xian does not win this battle, at least he will never be defeated.

Since he ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty has hardly fought a major defeat militarily, and this time will not be an exception!

The husband and wife talked and laughed for a while, and the Empress Wu assisted her husband in handling government affairs with great knowledge and interest. In the past few days, Li Zhi's spirit has improved, and considering that the crown prince is too hard to supervise the country, he began to take care of state affairs himself, however, after all, he has been away from national politics for too long, and he is inevitably a little mentally weak, so at this time, the husband and wife are sitting side by side behind the desk, which is extremely intimate.

"By the way, there is something that the concubine needs to report to His Majesty." Empress Wu suddenly put down the pen and said with a smile, "The two princesses of Xuancheng and Yiyang have passed the age of marriage, and now they should get married." That Tubo Qinling fled west privately, this marriage Tubo can not be mentioned, the concubine means, among the guards who are accompanied by two outstanding ones, what does Your Majesty think? ”

"It's not a big deal, Mei Niang, you are the queen, just call the shots."

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't even raise his head, Empress Wu immediately settled down in her heart, so she took another notebook, as if she said casually: "Your Majesty said that it is not a big deal, but the concubine thinks that this is a big thing that has to be taken seriously!" This time, Xian'er went west, and there was even more gossip in the palace, saying that he was a derogatory, and some people even slandered him and said that he was not raised by a concubine, so he was put in the bitter cold place in the northwest. Cheng Wang Sujie hasn't been back for several years, and some people have come out to gossip......"

Li Zhi originally thought that Empress Wu was a little complaint, and his brows were only slightly wrinkled, but when he heard what was matched, what derogatory, and even mentioned Li Xian's background, he suddenly changed color, and when Empress Wu mentioned Cheng Wang Sujie, it made him even more angry.

"Don't come back, this is the will of the earth, what does it have to do with you! Those who dare to arrange the origin of virtuous children must be investigated to the end and will not be tolerated! Xian'er is the northwest who is automatically invited to go, what is the distribution and what is derogatory, I ...... I ......"

Seeing that Li Zhi was so angry that he didn't come up in one breath, and his speech was intermittent, Empress Wu hurriedly persuaded and counseled from the side, and finally swept his eyes around, and found that all the palace attendants lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and she turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, and she unconsciously showed a smile

So he diverted the conversation. Under the candlelight, the husband and wife were like glue: looking at the twists and turns, this should have been a serious scene, but it was particularly warm and charming.

Wang Fushun left the people who should have stayed early in the morning, so he tiptoed outside, lest something that didn't have long eyes disturbed the emotions of this pair of supremes. Sure enough, after a while, Xu Jieyu brought the servant to deliver snacks in person, and as soon as he mentioned it a little, the extremely smart woman immediately left something and turned around. As soon as she walked on her front foot, a guard on her back foot rushed over panting.

"Wang ...... Mr. Wang, emergency military situation! ”

Wang Fushun was excited, but this time he didn't dare to use any excuse to prevaricate: "Emergency military situation? Liaodong or Liangzhou? ”

"It was sent by the state! The palace gate has been closed a long time ago, and if it weren't for the military emergency, it wouldn't have been sent in at once! ”

At this time, Wang Fushun did not hesitate, immediately took the scroll in the hand of the guard, and pushed open the door and hurriedly entered. All the way to the inner hall, seeing that the emperor and empress were still there with candles and discussing politics, he coughed lightly, and then took a few steps forward and knelt down and played: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is an urgent report of the military situation from the northwest!" ”

In an instant, two heads were raised behind the desk, each with a look of astonishment written on their faces. Immediately afterwards, Li Zhi impatiently ordered: "Quick, take it!" ”

When Wang Fushun handed over the scroll, Li Zhi almost snatched it, hurriedly unfolded it to take a cursory look, and immediately turned from surprise to joy, laughing and said: "Okay, good, the northwest has won a big victory, and my son really lives up to my expectations!" Reward, the soldiers of the three armies should be rewarded from top to bottom! ”

Empress Wu hurriedly browsed the notes on the side, but saw that there were only a few words on it, and it was not the seal of the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and she was only vague about what kind of victory she had achieved, and she couldn't help but wonder a little in her heart. Out of prudence, she immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is just a battle report from the state, if you want to be rewarded or rewarded, it is better to wait for Xian'er's official battle report." In this way, you can also know what kind of big victory this is, and outsiders will not think that Your Majesty is partial to his son! ”

Li Zhi, who was full of joy, naturally felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he was relieved: "It's still Mei Niang, you think about it thoughtfully, and the left and right are big victories, then wait a little longer, I want to see how the old Qi Bi He Li and Xian'er write this great victory recital!" ”

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles, this is not true. At least this big victory in the northwest has not been officially announced, and the ministers of the DPRK and China all know about it, among them, Li Ji, who is about to lead the army to Liaodong, is the most emotional-I think that the preparations I made at the beginning were to let Li Xian go to Liaodong with him, but the result is good, this guy pursued him for thousands of miles to Liangzhou, and in the end he became the marshal of the Liangzhou Road march for no reason.

"It's good to be young!"

Li Ji sighed with emotion, rubbing the spear that had followed him all his life, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a general running in with a happy face, and he was stunned. He obviously remembered to send someone to Li Xian, why did he come back at this time?

"Lord Sikong, Your Highness and the Grand Duke ordered me to come back and report the news!"

The general knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute before standing up and telling the story of the whole battle. Li Ji nodded while listening, and when he heard that Li Xian actually dared to make up for the Chinese army, his face immediately changed; Hearing that he and Li Jingye dropped the bag, his face sank by three points; When he finally heard that Li Xian was actually mixed in the pro-army and personally charged, his face was completely black.

"This ...... This bunch of daring guys! ”

Originally, he only wanted to scold Li Xian, but when he thought that his grandson Li Jingye and half of his apprentice Xue Dingshan were all messing around, even the veteran Qi He Li would actually listen to such a strategy, he suddenly changed his words, but he still blew his beard and glared, and finally slammed a spear on the ground.

Since the general was sent to report to Li Ji, of course, the joint recital of Li Xian and Qi Bi He Li was also handed to Zhongshu Province at the same time, and appeared on the desk of Zhenguan Hall in less than a quarter of an hour. Although the danger was deliberately weakened, Li Zhiwu and the two of them were really shocked when they pondered it like this, but fortunately, the battle was won after the battle.

"This ......" Li Zhi couldn't find an adjective at once, and after the two words burst out, he was stuck, and finally had to shake his head again and again, "In the future, I must lock this kid up, otherwise I will have to scare him to death!" Come, send someone to King Pei...... No, it's King Yong's first report, and by the way, bring a message to Mrs. Rongguo, so as not to worry about everyone! ”

Wu Hou looked at his son's hand, which was not perfect, but it was also a free flying white, and he was really relieved. After this victory, even the most critical people are afraid that they will have nothing to say.

PS: Regarding the title of Gaozong Li Zhi, except for his wife Wu Zetian, there are probably no other emperors in history who added various titles to themselves when they were in power. First the emperor, then the emperor, and many of the history books are words like the Great Emperor Yunyun. This emperor is actually a promising king in history, but his health is too bad, coupled with his wife's radiant energy, and he believes in his wife too much, it has inevitably become synonymous with cowardice, which is a pity.
