Chapter 654: The Differences between the Emperor and His Wife
A man shall not be without power for a day.
For the men of the Tang Dynasty, this can be described as a wise saying, the days of living in eight seats and calling out Bainuo are too longing, otherwise, where would there be so many poems that resented their talents? Of course, now in the early Tang Dynasty, the four poets who should have gone around lamenting their nostalgia are working hard to revise the post-Han book and the national history of this dynasty in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, and they don't have time to make any messy sad poems.
So, who is the saddest man on this hot day today? Is it Li Hong, who is no different from the crown prince after becoming an emperor, Li Xian, who is stubborn but has been forcibly assigned a bunch of tasks, or Li Xian, who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days? Or is it the group of high-ranking court ministers who have to face ever-changing decisions from above all the time?
Neither! Now I like to be sad when I have nothing to do, it is Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who has just passed his forty-sixth birthday.
When Li Zhi was still the king of Jin, he had a considerable love for literature, and when he became the prince of the East Palace, he was surrounded by a large number of scholars with outstanding statements, and he became a good literary young man. When Li Zhi ascended the throne and became the emperor, after Yu Zhining and Xu Jingzong, there was another Shangguanyi who was talented and talented, so he did a lot of himself while appreciating poetry. After the abdication, there was more free time, and this hobby was even more out of control.
is just the servant who is responsible for serving the pen and ink next to the emperor, and the discarded writing paper that is cleaned up every day is as many as dozens of sheets. And the finished poems that can be copied are basically accumulated at a rate of one per day. Although there are not many literate people in this inner servant, Wang Fushun is one, so he keenly feels a little strange.
The first few poems are all nostalgic for their own merits, full of an atmosphere that swallows rivers and mountains---- although there is still a gap between the choice of words and sentences and the works of famous artists. But gradually, there began to be a little resentment and dissatisfaction in it, and in the end, it can be classified as a palace grudge, although the author is a real man.
The endless and terrible questions of the Emperor in front of him are enough to toss people. If you still write this kind of poem, it won't make a big deal! Wang Fushun, who was worried about the country and the people, knew that he could not let go of this trend, so on this day, after settling Li Zhi to take a nap, he left Li Zhi's dormitory under the pretext of sending things out, and he came to the East Palace.
The overall scale of Luoyang Palace is smaller than that of Taiji Palace and Daming Palace in Chang'an, but although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs. After all, it was built many times during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and it was repeatedly repaired after the Tang Dynasty was designated as the eastern capital. The palace rooms are also quite gorgeous. This East Palace is now not occupied by people and only works, and it seems to be more organized, and the officials under the Zhongshu Gate come and go, and sometimes you can hear Shangguan Yi's signature voice.
Since he had to cooperate with Li Xian, the old Shangguan, who is known as the number one in the world, is now getting louder and louder. If this continues, Wang Fushun almost doubts whether the old Shangguan's graceful demeanor can be maintained.
As soon as he stepped into Binshanmen, he heard a noisy voice, and hurriedly grabbed a small official and asked. I was relieved to learn that it was just Li Xian arguing with his subordinate officials of the East Palace. However, he didn't know anything about it, but as soon as he got inside, he immediately saw that the young man was not the prime minister, and his temper was amazing.
"It's okay on weekdays, it's so busy these days. Your Highness, if you are so idle, the minister can only pick and choose! ”
Since the death of my father. As he grew older, Yao Yuanzhi had long lost his temper that day, and he was extremely calm in trouble. However, the calmness that has been cultivated over the years has always been vulnerable in front of Li Xian, just like now. Under his vicious gaze. The other party still maintained that smiling expression.
"Ahem, those who can work harder. Xiaoyao, you are so capable, why do you use me to sit in charge all day long? Li Xian didn't seem to see Yao Yuanzhi's fire-breathing eyes, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "I heard that the results of this Jinshike are coming out soon, and I happen to have a fancy for someone, and waiting for him to partner with you must be like a tiger." Rest assured, I will add a helper to you! ”
For this kind of answer, Yao Yuanzhi's heart suddenly became even more depressed. He wanted to motivate this prince to be diligent and upward, who knew that the other party actually said that he had picked a helper, and he definitely didn't understand the new science and technology of government affairs! He was furious, knowing that if he continued to talk about it, he would only make himself more angry, so he sighed heavily and turned his head to leave.
Why did he get on his thief ship because Li Xian was righteous enough?
When Yao Yuan left, Li Xian couldn't help but gently knock on the desk in front of him, feeling extremely proud. Fortunately, there are not many people in this Datang who are qualified to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the list of more than 100 people is extremely quick to browse, and this time he hit a big luck, and he caught a glimpse of a familiar name---- Song.
People say that the reason why Tang Taizong can have the rule of Zhenguan is that he relies on the ground is Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui; Tang Xuanzong was able to have a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, relying on Yao Chongsong. He has Yao Chong, and then get Song over early, this Yao Song match, isn't it tiring to work? Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound from his highness.
"Ah, it turned out to be Lao Wang!" Seeing Wang Fushun, Li Xian immediately nodded with a smile, "Why do you have time to come to my East Palace to sit today, aren't you busy with your father's side?" ”
Wang Fushun's heart was full of the scene of Yao Yuanzhi and Li Xian fighting in the ring just now, and he hadn't been able to come back to his senses for a while, so he said something inconsequential at the beginning. Immediately after, he remembered the purpose of his visit, so he carefully explained Emperor Li's recent abnormal behavior, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve. Apparently, this was originally thrown away, but he found it out of an unknown corner.
This kind of behavior is extremely taboo, but Empress Wu once instructed people to do it, and Li Xian did it more than once through Wang Fushun. As a bold person, Li Xian has always thought that the most important process of the result can be ignored, so at this time, he immediately paved it out and read it word by word. It's not a poem, but an essay of hundreds of words.
"I have been on the throne for more than 20 years, Ping Gaoli, Ding Tubo, Feng Zen Taishan, and broadcast my Tang Dynasty prestige in the United States. However, the evening scene is lonely and helpless, although there is a wife to serve around, and the children are happy to be on their knees. But it's still hard to solve the depression in my heart. If you want to live forever, you can't want to maintain health, and the so-called life is unsatisfactory eight or nine times out of ten, isn't it the case? ……”
There were still some messy sad words in the back, and after Li Xian read them one by one, he finally let out a sigh of relief. He felt that his father's temper was wrong these days. Occasionally, the court also said something yin and yang, and it didn't have the charm of the past at all. Sure enough, it was because of the heart of loss. This loss is not a big deal, but if it is not handled well, it will also cause big trouble.
Although he also visits his father every day, he thinks that Wang Fushun can't understand these complex psychological activities, so he asked: "Who has my father seen the most recently?" Did you say anything? ”
"Your Majesty has met with several famous Taoist priests in the hall in the past half a month, and it seems that they have been talking about seeking immortality." Although Wang Fushun is a eunuch, he also wants to live a long life. So I listened to these quite carefully, and after relaying them, I sighed, "Your Majesty never forgets the missing Guo Xingzhen, and must say that he has successfully achieved alchemy and soared, and I regret that I didn't get those pills." ”
This Daddy Li Zhi is really an elixir fetish!
Li Xian rubbed his head with a headache. This Guo Xing has really found it, and he is also recuperating, when he went to take a look a few days ago. I found that the divine stick had recovered a little bit of its former immortal wind and bone style, and it would be about a while before I could see people. But even so. How do you explain the nearly two years this guy has been missing? Where should he find any elixir for his father?
These were all secondary questions, and he suddenly remembered a major event, so he pulled Wang Fushun a little closer, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, the father and the queen mother recently...... How many days do you share a bed? ”
Ask about the parents' sexual affairs as a son. This is also extremely rare. Therefore, Wang Fushun was stunned for a moment before gesturing with his fingers. This answer made Li Xian breathe a sigh of relief, but he still continued to ask. Knowing that Daddy Rabbit also eats grass by the nest, he once pampered a few palace people around him, and then abandoned it, he immediately shook his head.
His mother is fifty years old, and she still looks like a person in her thirties, and she still has no less charming style, and it is not surprising that his father is greedy for freshness, but he still thinks about her.
"It's just, yesterday...... Yesterday, I vaguely heard that the Emperor and the Empress seemed to have a quarrel. Although there was no clue after dawn, it was the first time after arriving in Luoyang that it was the first time after arriving in Luoyang. ”
Wang Fushun hesitated to talk about the bedside family affairs of the Taishang couple, and there was a little drum in his heart. You must know that Li Zhiwu has not quarreled since then, but there has never been a dispute as long as last night. Now that this has been ascended to the top, there will be no more terrible consequences, right?
When Li Xian inquired in detail about the privacy of his father and mother in the East Palace, Empress Wu was also in his own Dayi Palace. It's just that her light is not scolding and smashing things like ordinary shrews, but locking herself in the study and writing one by one. Her rules are bigger than Li Zhi's, and everyone has been driven out, including Ah Qian.
Li Zhi actually asked her to completely delegate power, and from now on, she would not hang the curtain at the daily court meeting, but participate in the court meeting with him to execute a major military event on the fifth day! Is this a major military affair that the prime minister has the final say, and if there is no major military affairs, doesn't it mean that she can't participate in it?
Although he was thoughtful, Empress Wu did not expect that this sudden suggestion was simply due to Li Zhi's psychological imbalance, such a simple reason that could not be simpler.
