Chapter 402 Empress Wu protects the calf

Chapter 402 Empress Wu protects the calf

Emperor Gaozu of Tang and Emperor Taizong both lived in Chang'an Taiji Palace, however, they were still Empress Wu, and they both didn't like the Taiji Palace place. Li Zhi subconsciously felt that the Taiji Palace was deeply imprinted by his father Li Shimin, which gave him too much pressure, so he declared that the Taiji Palace was damp and not conducive to his recuperation; And Empress Wu felt that the days of serving as Emperor Taizong's imperial servant in the past were too incommensurate with her as a queen, so she would rather spend a lot of time in Luoyang.

Therefore, the Daming Palace, which was originally built by Li Shimin to cool off his father Li Yuan, began to be rebuilt one after another after Li Zhi ascended the throne, and was renamed Penglai Palace. When he was in Chang'an before, Li Zhi lived in the Penglai Palace of Penglai Palace, while the Empress Wu lived in the Hanliang Hall adjacent to the Taiye Pool, while several main halls were still under construction. The completion of the Hanyuan Hall of Penglai Palace, which is equivalent to the Taiji Palace of Taiji Palace, undoubtedly shows that the political center of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an has officially moved from Taiji Palace to Penglai Palace.

Although he still prefers Luoyang, Li Zhi is excited to go back to Chang'an and see his newly built Penglai Palace, and the Empress Wu naturally has to comply. Since the emperor was ready to move, he immediately became busy from top to bottom, from Luan's escort to the transfer of political affairs, and then to the families of various ministers, in short, it was a chaos, so that several high-powered ministers were busy without touching the ground.

However, when the northwest was victorious and Liaodong was going well, there was suddenly bad news from Chang'an City - Prime Minister Liu Xiangdao died of illness!

Since the beginning of this year, Su Dingfang, Yu Zhining, Li Yifu, and Li Zhong have died...... And now, as if to confirm that the year is really bad, even Liu Xiangdao has passed away. While Li Zhi sighed, he waved his hand and ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral and the issue of nicknames. But he took Empress Wu to visit Li Ji's other courtyard in Tongli Fang. came to an unusually cordial condolence, this is not the end, Xu Jingzong, who is recuperating at home, was also flattered and treated by the emperor in person.

After condolences to the old minister. A new question has come to the table - who will take over the post of right minister?

Previously, the right phase of the West Stage, that is, the Zhongshu Order, was Liu Xiangdao; The left phase of Dongtai, that is, the servant is Shangguanyi. Although the remaining prime ministers have three ranks, they are not as good as these two after all.

Since the incident more than three years ago, Shangguan Yi Liu Xiangdao has barely kept the same pace as Empress Wu, and the decree is basically unimpeded under the Zhongshu Gate. In order not to make Li Zhi suspicious, Empress Wu did not make any changes in this matter. And this time, she is naturally more interested in Li Jingxuan, the waiter of Xitai, after all, it is her own person recommended by Xu Jingzong.

However, in this appointment, Li Zhi was obviously biased towards Liu Renliang, which naturally made her a little unhappy. But in front of Li Zhi, she was still the gentle and considerate queen, and she didn't show any words.

There was no urgent business on this day, so she sat at the dressing table. Let the palace people make up for her. Glancing at the plates of delicate and precious jewelry in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the time when she was the imperial servant of Taizong in the past. the loneliness and loneliness that is flattered in every possible way but still has no way; thought that after Li Zhi ascended the throne, she tried her best to return to the palace, but she could only suffer for the bitterness of an ordinary palace person; Thinking of the infinite jealousy of looking up to the king and queen; Thinking of the infinite scenery that is now above 10,000 people......

She looked at herself in the mirror uncertainly, and suddenly sighed leisurely.

"Queen Mother!"

Ah Qian hurriedly rushed into the hall, gestured to the surrounding underground palace attendants, and then took over the work of the combing palace man, and quickly pulled the black and shiny hair of the Empress Wu loosely into a bun, and chose a branch dotted with the big pearl of the South China Sea. While moving in her hand, she whispered: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yongwang sent Li Jingye back, saying that it was the place to report the news!" ”

"This stinky boy!" Empress Wu frowned angrily, just as Ah Qian had inserted the step, she stood up, "I know that he doesn't have enough staff, so His Majesty and I temporarily transferred Li Jingye to him, and he actually sent people back!" Even if it's a big victory, can't you just send someone else, it has to be Li Jingye, this kid is getting more and more nonsense! ”

For the light of the Empress Wu, Ah Qian didn't go up to persuade her, just pursed her lips there and snickered, and when the Empress Wu turned her head to look at her, she smiled generously: "Niangniang's words are insincere, when I see Li Jingye, maybe I will remember the benefits of His Royal Highness King Yong!" When His Highness didn't do things with his eyes on the target, where would he be an exception this time! ”

"Ah Qian, I see that you go to serve by Xian'er's side, you know how to speak for him all the time, where is it still like my Shang Palace?" Empress Wu glared angrily, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Now Li Jingye is meeting Your Majesty?" ”

"Yes, I have already instructed his servants, and after meeting His Majesty, he should come to the Great Ceremony Palace."

The reason why Li Xian sent Li Jingye back was because he was Li Ji's eldest grandson, and this family was unmatched; The second reason is because he can speak well, which is more than a star and a half stronger than the straight Cheng Bohu and Mu Ne's Xue Dingshan. Take the current situation as an example, in front of Li Zhi, he was beaten with a beating, not only reported the good news of the capture of Zanpo, but also made the king laugh, and when he finally withdrew, he already had a new brocade robe on his body.

As soon as I came out, I heard that it was from the Great Ceremony Palace

People passed the word to make an appointment, Li Jingye didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took someone to the other side, even if the Empress Wu was not summoned, Li Xian had already taken special care of him, and he would definitely run this time. He hurried to the ground, and Ah Qian, who had been waiting outside, glanced at the brocade robe and immediately laughed.

"Lord Li has begged for a jackpot this time, it is one of the ten brocade robes that the Western Regions has just paid tribute to, and now even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been rewarded, but you have gone up first? Tsk, what good news did you bring back from the northwest this time to make Your Majesty so happy? ”

"I'm just stained with Liulang's light, I knew that this dress was so expensive, I didn't dare to accept it if I was killed, and I was still wearing it so ostentatious in the palace!"

When Li Jingye stepped into the Dayi Palace, the first thing he did was to take off the brocade robe outside and stuff it into Ah Qian's hand with a smile. And Ah Qian immediately knew that she ordered someone to fold and wrap it, and it was not until Li Jingye changed into his original robe that she led him to see Empress Wu, and she did not forget to ask Li Xian if he was injured along the way, and her concern was overflowing.

Rokuro, this guy is a good blessing! This was the biggest feeling he had in an instant when Li Jingye saw Empress Wu, and the first sentence of the other party's mouth was to ask if Li Xian was injured in the previous battle. has the care of a loving mother, the help of red sleeves and scarves, and there are people who care about safety wherever he goes, why doesn't he have this treatment?

Envy to envy, jealousy to envy, he didn't dare to play tricks in front of Empress Wu, he honestly presented Li Xian's family letter, and he told the story of the day, even Qu Tushenruo and Ah Li didn't dare to hide the more than 300 people who broke into Langzhou.

"Sure enough, it's close to Zhu Zhe Chi, and the one close to ink is black, Shen Ruo is so bold and reckless, the old Qi Qi is good, and she is messing around with them, and she actually accepted a righteous girl!"

Although these words were disgusting and nonsense, Empress Wu's face was full of smiles, and her mood was even better. It was extremely dangerous for Li Xian to act as a bait before, but that was already in the past, and they all won big, so it was naturally not interesting to blame others for this. And in the subconscious of the martial queen, she greatly appreciated this kind of adventure.

If she looks forward and makes a decision without knowing the pain, she herself is still accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, or she is still there to be a Zhaoyi, how can she reach the top and become the queen in one step? Although the son took a big risk, from the root, why didn't he inherit her advantages?

"However, Shen Ruo and Ah Li are both sensible, they have made great achievements but are not greedy, but they have been distributed to the generals, and they have also fulfilled the virtuous children, such a practice is worthy of praise! Xue Rengui is indeed so blessed, such a daughter-in-law can't be asked for by others, and Lao Qibi even helped him solve Ah Li's background! Helan finally learned to take a detour, so she sent her family to go if she couldn't go, and moved out of the prince to help! It's a pity that Shen Ruo, this girl, is deadly, as beautiful as a flower, but refuses to marry......"

Speaking of the word marriage, her heart suddenly moved. Qu Tushenruo and Helan Yan live in Taizhenguan together, and they also get along with Li Xian day and night, and this time they went all the way to the northwest, if you say that there is no affection, it is impossible. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a smile on her face, and then thinking about Helan Yan's thoughts, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

This time, her stupid son probably won't let go of a great opportunity again!

Li Jingye was in a good mood when he saw that the martial arts queen was in a good mood, so he remembered Li Xian's additional instructions about Liu Renyuan, and simply conveyed Li Xian's meaning, and finally explained: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang and General Liu have a long relationship, and I appreciate his righteousness and heroism, so this time I let me go to Liaodong with my grandfather, in fact, I also have the meaning of caring about his recent situation, I don't know what is going on this time?" ”

What is Liu Ren's wish? Empress Wu's heart moved, and then he smiled and said: "Liu Renyuan hit the spearhead, since Xian'er is so concerned, I will try my best." It's good if you come back, Liu Xiangdao died, Your Majesty and I are very worried, after all, he is younger than your grandfather. This time, your grandfather is about to lead the army to Liaodong, and you will accompany you, so that Your Majesty and I can feel at ease. ”

After sending Li Jingye away, Ah Qian couldn't help but wonder a little after turning around, and when she saw that the martial arts queen was thoughtful, she couldn't help asking: "Why didn't Niangniang explain to Li Jingye, Liu Ren is willing to suffer this unexpected disaster this time because of Liu Renliang?" He recommended Liu Renyuan with good intentions on the surface, but in the final analysis, it was because he disagreed with Liu Renyuan in Xiongjin's strategy, which can be said to be a revenge for virtue with resentment. If it weren't for Liu Ren's willingness to protect him, Old Man Liu would have been about ...... when he was in Haidong."

"Say no more!" Empress Wu abruptly interrupted Ah Qian's words, with a deep dissatisfaction on her face, "You have to get the law to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this is all the scourge left by Li Yifu!" Old man Liu is now a saint, what is it, even I can't do anything to him, but Li Yifu has already died! Even if Xian'er knows, what can he do, even if he is in the limelight, he can't move Old Man Liu! ”
