Text Chapter 536 Wu Zetian
Halfway through, Zhengqing Wenqitang officially closed.
The official number after Jiao Jianxiu's inventory was also delivered shortly after.
11,300 taels of silver, in just a few hours, is not much worse than the turnover on the opening day of the West Market of Chang'an City.
Taiping was even more shocked and a little out of shape, although he had expected it in his heart, he still couldn't suppress his joy after the specific number.
At this time, there was no one around, Li Zhi said in a low voice: "There is a lot of credit to you, everything in the store has already been arranged, and the promotion of the name of our store is also very effective, otherwise where would so many people come." How can I thank you? ”
The ambiguity in his words obviously made Taiping very useful, "I'll wait for you on Dingdingmen Street tomorrow night, this is the key to the mansion under the name of the foreign official, No. 3 A!" ”
"At night? Xue Gongzi doesn't care if you don't return all night? ”
"Hee-hee, you're going to stay with me all night?" Taiping's smile was even stronger, "He didn't come with him this time, there are still some affairs in Chang'an City that need to be dealt with, and it will be more than ten days later!" ”
While speaking, Jiao Jianxiu came over to ask about the closing, and Li Zhi waved his hand, "Twenty clerks each give ten taels of silver, and you are thirty taels!" For another twenty taels, you accompany the girls to fill their stomachs, and I will get the rest! ”
Taiping was also picked up by the palace maids at this time, and when the guards were placed at night, Li Zhi drove his horse back to his new home, but after tying Wei Lingbiu, he jumped over the wall and escaped into the darkness.
The three major halls of Luoyang Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Palace, Zhenguan Palace, and Huiyou Palace.
Among them, the Qianyuan Hall is the largest, not only the palace of the upper dynasty, but also the annual Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony are held here.
Ziwei Palace is slightly smaller, also called Luoyang Palace, Zhenguan Palace is in the north of Ziwei Palace, and Gaozong and Empress Wu all live here.
This is Li Zhi's discovery after dodging dozens of light and dark levels, in addition to this discovery, between the Qianyuan Hall and the Zhenguan Palace, he actually let him know that there is a first-level grandmaster.
Even if his third-level Grandmaster realm far surpassed this person, Li Zhi was very careful to add a wisp of strength to protect his Insight to prevent others from finding out.
There are countless strange people in the cultivation world, and those with special sensing abilities like Fu Chen are the reason why Li Zhi is cautious.
Zhenguan Hall is three entrances, Gaozong is in the second entrance, and the martial queen is in the third entrance.
Gaozong had already fallen asleep, and in the inner bed of Empress Wu, the figure of Princess Taiping appeared.
"In just a few hours, there are 10,000 taels?" Empress Wu's voice is pure, just like the ruddy complexion of her complexion, which is full of confidence.
Taiping replied: "Back to my mother, my daughter is also surprised, such a high amount of money is not only the reason for the high price, but also the unique nature of the goods!" That Mr. Li is not an ordinary person, and the products he developed are all in line with the current gap, and the people are rushing to buy them, and not many people care about the price. ”
"Li Zhengwen is not an ordinary person, what kind of character can he be? Cultivator status? She seemed to be a little tired, exhaled deeply, her eyes slightly closed, but she stretched out her arms and let the palace ladies wait to freshen up.
Today, his daughter has tested him, and when it comes to the Grandmaster Realm, there is a faint sigh in his mouth, although it is not obvious, his daughter still feels it. He said that there is still a big gap from that realm! To say that he is not an ordinary person refers to this person's business acumen, as well as his creativity. For example, today's goods are taken out of the Qiankun bag he refined, and there is no one who can have such ability, right? ”
"He took it out in front of you?"
"Yes mother, and she doesn't shy away from other people in the store, what does that mean?"
"It shows that he doesn't want to hide this ability, maybe the information we got is accurate, this person has plans to sell the Qiankun bag as a commodity!"
"My daughter also took him to the Wenqitang Garden, and I was very satisfied with his expression, and asked me to thank his mother on his behalf, and promised to always be loyal to the emperor and queen!"
Wu Zetian didn't squeak, as if he knew something.
Her silence should be different from what Taiping expected, because she was not sure what her mother thought, she had to follow her own train of thought: "My daughter recognized his sincerity when he showed his loyalty, because I could see the clarity in his eyes at that time. ”
Wu Zetian finally spoke, "I also agree with his loyalty, but whether this loyalty is only for the royal family surnamed Li is currently debatable." His help to the army, gunpowder, blacksmithing, is my reason for trust. Otherwise, gunpowder alone would have given him a fortune that he could enjoy for several lifetimes. It's just that for the dedication to the army, he seems to have counted all the merits on the head of the family surnamed Li, so he can't help but make his mother deeply worried! ”
Because she knows her mother's personality and temperament, Taiping helped Li Zhi say some good things and ended here, maybe she was also afraid that if she said too much, it would arouse the vigilance of Empress Wu.
So, she turned the topic: "Mother, it's been a whole day since I took that Zhuyan Pill, do you have any discomfort?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Zetian completely opened his eyes, and the brightness at the bottom of his eyes suddenly increased: "Not to mention, not only does the Yan Dan make the skin of Weiniang's whole body tight, but even the Yishou Pill seems to have an obvious effect." Since washing off the dirt on my body yesterday, not only did I sleep peacefully last night without feeling insomnia, but today, my appetite is also open! Didn't the imperial doctor say that the ingredients of Yishou Dan were no different from the ancient recipe of the elixir he obtained, and there was no addition or reduction of any shares. In this way, Zhu Yan Dan is also genuine! ”
"What does Mother think of the three conditions mentioned by his wife?"
"Alas! It seems that the matter of Taishan can no longer be rushed. Now that the prince has been summoned, I might as well teach him how to handle political affairs in the near future. Besides, the 12 reform measures also need to be implemented urgently, so it would be good for him to come and help me. Anyway, your father's holy body is difficult to heal, since there is a change in the throne in the first month of next year, let's step down and give guidance for the time being, otherwise the prince will be embarrassed. ”
"According to the daughter, in the past three months, the mother is also less involved in politics in the court, since she is already sick, she will simply raise a few more days before going out of the mountain, otherwise she will be angry or unhappy, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the efficacy of Zhuyan Dan!"
Wu Zetian was noncommittal, "Your father has had a headache again in the past few days, saying that he often wakes up from his dreams in fright, I see that Li Zhengwen has come to Luoyang, it is better to ask him to visit the patient, they all call him a young miracle doctor, I want to see how he is different from the imperial hospital!" ”
Princess Taiping nodded, "When I first came to Luoyang City the day before yesterday, I went to visit the emperor, and he said that he had a dream last night. It is said that it is a hill next to the Zhaoling Tomb of Chang'an, the trees on the mountain are tall and lush, the forest birds are singing, and there seems to be a small white flag in front of it faintly moving forward in the fog and clear air. My father was very strange and wanted to find out who the bearer was, and why he didn't see anyone when he saw the white flag. ”
As if he was very concerned about the dream depicted, Wu Zetian involuntarily straightened up and waved his hand to let the palace maids suspend their service.
"Your Majesty, he followed the mountain road, walked and chased, he walked fast, and the white flags moved fast, and he walked slowly, and the white flags moved slowly. He felt some palpitations, vaguely felt that something was wrong, at this time, there was no right road under his feet, stones, thorns, clusters, very difficult, his heart opened his mind to retreat, ready to return the way he came. ”
Speaking of this, Taiping took a sip of the teacup.
Wu Zetian shook his head and motioned to the palace maid to fill it up.
Taiping continued: "Who knew that when he turned his face, a huge python hung down from the ancient tree next to him, and there was black woman's hair on the snake's head. At this time, the python suddenly let out a miserable laugh, red eyes dripping blood, opened his bloody mouth, and rushed towards his father, because he couldn't dodge, he was bitten by the python on his left arm, screamed in pain, and woke up, he was shocked, and it took a long time to know that it was just a dream. ”
Wu Zetian's expression was a little different at this time, and he asked, "Taiping, what did you think at that time?" ”
Naturally, my daughter felt ominous, and after finding an excuse, she hurriedly pushed it out, wanting to find someone who understood and asked, so she found Ji's father, and Ji's father immediately led me to see Master Faming. Master Fa Ming did not give a clear decision, but instructed me to build a White Horse Temple in the west of Luoyang as soon as possible, saying that I should leave the rest alone, and let him protect the emperor. ”
Ji's father is Xue Huaiyi, whose original name is Feng Xiaobao, Wu Zetian likes that this person is strong and strong, and his body is burly, because he left him in the palace for fornication.
In order to avoid outsiders from discovering and facilitating access to the palace, Xiaobao was allowed to cut his hair and become a monk.
He also ordered to change his surname to Xue, take his name Huaiyi, and Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, as a family, and ordered Xue Shao to recognize Xiaobao as Ji's father.
In ancient times, the ranking order between brothers was expressed by uncle, zhong, uncle, and ji, with uncle being the eldest, Zhong being the second, uncle being the third, and Ji ranking the youngest.
Princess Taiping's words made Wu Zetian fall into a long silence, and Taiping sat on one side, not daring to speak at this time.
After tea time, Wu Zetian opened his mouth and said: "That's it, according to my daughter's wishes, I will temporarily recuperate in the palace for a period of time, and don't mention the matter of going to Mount Tai again!" ”
"Do you want Li Zhengwen to come to Zhenguan Hall tomorrow to explore his father's condition?" Taiping asked cautiously.
"Don't mention it for now, I'm afraid he'll notice it! It is inevitable that he will go to see your father, some time ago, this person traveled south, just to find the emperor to inherit the four treasures of the study, this news cannot be faked, because the prince and the prince were in front of him at that time! ”
"So the rumors are true?"
"So I said before that I also agree with this person's loyalty, and I will leave three days after the wedding, and I will be your two brothers, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for two months! The three ladies are not ordinarily glamorous! ”
"But my mother still thinks that this person can't be trusted, because she can't be sure whether he is only loyal to the surname Li?"
Hearing this, Wu Zetian suddenly raised his eyes and glared at Taiping, with a little chill in his eyes: "Taiping, why are you talking so cumbersome today?" Could it be that there is an intention for this person in his heart? Mother advises you not to get too close to this person until you have found out what he really thinks, lest he be taken advantage of! ”
Taiping hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Mother, please rest assured, now Xun'er is only half a year old, and her daughter doesn't have that kind of thought, even if she is not interested in Xue Shao for the time being, her mother thinks too much!" ”
After staring at Taiping for a long time, Wu Zecai restrained his solemnity and said with a smile:
"That's good! Daughter, my mother is also a person who has come over, and I understand your state at this time. Although Xue Shao is playful and likes rare objects, he is also the husband you choose yourself, endure this menstrual period, take the initiative yourself, and the family is harmonious, so you are in the mood to learn some truth from me, the only thing my mother likes is you, don't let me down! ”
Let Taiping stand up, Wu Zetian casually threw her a plaything in his hand, "Don't blame my mother for being strict, that Li Zhengwen can't be recruited, not to mention that cultivation is terrible, just from the appearance of his ladies, you can see that this person is very good at pleasing us women, I'm afraid you will be deceived by his tricks!" If you are interested in him, wait a few years! Okay, go ahead, remember to come back tomorrow with a few bottles of essential oils, and my mother wants roses and orchids! ”
Knowing that only when the mother feels sorry for herself, will she take the initiative to give the belongings in her hands.
Therefore, Taiping took his leave, and when she turned around, the smile on her face showed that she was very happy.
Li Zhi, who was hidden a few miles away, kept detecting that Princess Taiping had entered a certain hall, so he put away his discernment, turned around and rushed to the direction of Nanshi!
