Chapter 260: Mother and son exchange henchmen
It's time to visit Luoyang!
Li Zhi is famous for not liking Chang'an, because Chang'an Taiji Palace has too many imprints of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin; And Empress Wu also disliked Chang'an, although it was here that she ascended to the supreme position. Coupled with other messy factors, therefore, it has only been a year since the royal driver returned to Chang'an, and he has to return to Luoyang again.
This is not good news for the people of Chang'an, because with the departure of the Son of Heaven, a large number of dignitaries and dignitaries will also leave, which means that the business of the eastern and western cities is at least 20% worse than usual, and the people are even more suspicious of whether there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong. And this time, even for Empress Wu, leaving Chang'an for Luoyang was not so pleasant.
Although it was at least two or three months before the royal car set off, because Empress Wu was pregnant, even if she gave birth to a child, plus confinement and miscellaneous things, she would have to lag behind Li Zhi for at least a few months before she could go to Luoyang. No one can guarantee what will happen in these months. The only thing that makes Empress Wu happy is that the prince temporarily stayed in Chang'an to supervise the country this time, and she can still exert some influence.
And Lee Hyun has been busy lately. He was busy checking with Helan Zhou on the return on investment in new industries, such as real estate and finance. He bought several of the best houses in the Lifang area in Luoyang, and now that the royal car is gone, it will change hands at least several times the profit; As for the financial industry, because of the inconvenience of copper money transportation, Helan Zhou, the old man, took advantage of the situation to launch a small-scale flying ticket business; All these things almost kept him busy.
Of course, the other thing that keeps him busy is that he is left and right. This time I went to Luoyang, the eldest sister and the little girl had to follow, and for the ambiguous lawsuit in the Qingdu Temple before, although Li Yanniang and Yin Xiuning tried their best to cover it up, people with a heart can still see the clues. Not to mention the joy of fish and water for the first time, the little girl who is the most sensitive to the affairs of men and women.
Because of this, except for greeting the emperor and queen, he was almost invisible during the day. Even at night, he often returns to the palace wearing stars and moons. Even if she is a martial queen, she can't catch someone three times or twice, let alone Li Hong and Li Xian's brothers. They rarely even touched Li Xian's shadow at all.
On this day, it was still when the stars and moon hung in the deep blue sky, and Li Xianfang dragged his tired body back to the Wude Palace. Almost as soon as he entered the door, he stripped off the heavy skin outside, and was about to rush directly to the bathroom to take a good soak, but was stopped by Ah Luo. And this sharp-toothed female official only used one sentence to suppress Li Xian's anger.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has been waiting inside for a full hour!"
His mother is now five or six months pregnant, and she actually moved from Hanliang Hall to Wude Hall all the way away? An Hour...... Amitabha, even waiting for half an hour is a big sin. Don't say it's an hour!
He was covered in sweat and all at once, and almost without thinking about it, he immediately rushed into the dormitory. Seeing that Empress Wu was leaning on his characteristic mahogany couch and was napping, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and called with a smile: "Queen Mother? ”
Empress Wu slowly opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her clearly. Immediately, he sneered: "Do you still know to come back?" Fooling around outside every day in the morning and evening! I thought Yu Zhining could watch you, but now it seems. It's just to change the king of heaven, you are still this lazy character! After hanging around my place all day and disappearing, you have to let me come here in person and wait for someone to be arrested, right? ”
Hear that voice as if it were a reprimand. Li Xian lowered his head as if he knew his mistake, silently reciting the numbers in his heart. Sure enough, it was only thirty, and the reprimand of the martial queen stopped abruptly. At this time, he smiled and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen has already handed over the homework assigned by Master Yu, and even the master still goes to practice martial arts every day, and he doesn't dare to delay." ”
Empress Wu raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and saw that Ah Luo next to her was holding the window textbook, she casually flipped through it before believing it, and couldn't help but be angry and funny in her heart - when people are princes, they need to be accompanied by reading the top cylinder, but she has raised a good son, and she has gone out to wander around by herself, but the four companions are reading in the palace and reading darkly. After smiling, she gradually agreed to Li Xian's previous proposal. Anyway, at the top of the article, looking for prodigy Wang Bo to read with him is always better than Li Jingye's others.
Li Xian smiled when he saw the martial arts, and understood that today's care had passed smoothly and smoothly, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he also glanced at his mother by the way. Because of the gradual expansion of the lower abdomen, the robes and uniforms of the Empress Wu are now specially made, and the texture is made of the best silk yarn and brocade, but it is still extremely rich. It's just that the clothes are sloppy, and this bun is not as heavy as in the past, but just casually combed a lazy makeup bun, with a pearl hairpin obliquely inserted on it.
"Ah Qian, Ah Luo, you take people down first!"
Listening to Empress Wu's orders, Ah Qian and A Luo, who were standing on both sides, glanced at each other, and each retreated silently with the palace people on their side. As soon as the door of the palace closed, Li Xian knew that his mother must have something important to order, so he hurriedly listened to it. Who knew that this was not yet complete, so Empress Wu motioned for him to come up and sit next to him.
"Your fifth brother stayed behind to supervise the country
My brother can't expect him to be of great use, so if you go to Luoyang, you'll have a lot more ...... It should mean that from now on, you have to pay more attention. ”
Empress Wu explained concisely, and did not complain that she could not accompany her. This is a place that has been settled a long time ago, and she was pregnant with a fetus when she was soaking in the hot springs in Lishan, which is what the couple did not expect. After all, Li Zhi and Empress Wu are all the bosses.
"I see." Li Xian agreed very simply, Liu Xiangdao is certainly in Chang'an, but there is still a Shangguan Yi in Luoyang. Compared with Liu Xiangdao, Shangguan Yi is more popular and prestigious among the courtiers, and he is more trusted by his father Li Zhi. And without Li Hong accompanying him, he would not be able to know the intentions of the old official, and it seems that the intelligence war is really still the top priority.
"Although I won't leave until the spring flowers bloom, I still know you, this time I will hand over Ah Qian to you, and you will leave Ah Luo!"
Li Xian couldn't help but be shocked at this time, and blurted out: "Queen Mother! ”
"Without anyone's help, how can you control the situation in the Luoyang Palace? Ah Luo is of course reliable, but she is not good at this kind of thing, and she has no way, Ah Qian has been with me for so many years, everyone knows that she is my person, with her following you, those people in the palace should know this amount, do you understand? ”
Under the light, Empress Wu's face tensed suddenly, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if everything in front of her would be torn to pieces. And after Li Xian's shock, he finally realized the significance of his mother's decision, not to mention the excitement in his heart - in this way, his mother gave him an intelligence director?
Li Xian almost gritted his teeth and burst out seven words: "Don't worry, I understand!" "Can he not understand? Of course, he didn't have the idea of robbing his mother while the fire was hot, but it was still okay to fake the public and private all of a sudden. With a strong intelligence team, at least in the palace, his eyes and ears are definitely brighter than anyone else's.
"Among the three brothers, you are probably the only one who can understand this!" Empress Wu's tense face finally showed a smile of relief, and then flicked it on Li Xian's forehead, "If I guessed correctly, if it weren't for you, your fifth brother wouldn't have hung those nonsense people so neatly, right?" Talking is more effective than my mother, I really don't know if he is an elder brother or you are an elder brother! ”
In the face of this kind of praise, Li Xian naturally accepted it happily in his heart, and his face was humble. Immediately after the martial arts, he began to explain all the details, and it was really everything, obviously, in order to express his wish to have a good pregnancy, the martial arts queen was ready to nest in the Hanliang Palace and not come out. At the same time, this is also the best way to dispel the doubts of hundreds of officials.
The mother and son talked for an hour, and Li Xianfang summoned Ah Qian and a cadre of palace people, personally sent Empress Wu to the chariot, and stopped at the door for a while, then remembered that he was covered in stinky sweat, and immediately pulled his feet and went to the bathroom to take a bath. However, as if God was destined to have an unrestful night, before he could soak comfortably, Ah Luo suddenly came in and reported that Fushun, the king of Penglai Palace, and Ge Nan of the East Palace had come, and she placed the two in the side halls on both sides, and no one met each other.
The so-called Donggong Ge Nan is just a small chamberlain who is quite face-saving in front of Li Hong, Li Xian doesn't care, but Wang Fushun is different. At that moment, he dried his body and changed his clothes, and immediately went out of the bathroom, and sent Ge Nan away with only a few sticks of incense - this guy just sent him a book for Li Hong, nothing serious, naturally not worth his effort.
And when he stepped into another side hall, he saw Wang Fushun there anxious like ants in a hot pot. He knew very well that this person had never seen the world, and he would never look like this when he was in trouble, so when he saw this scene, he stepped forward slowly and asked, "Wang Fushun, why did you come to me so late?" ”
"Ah, it was Your Majesty who asked the villain to give His Highness ten new imperial books!" Wang Fushun blurted out without hesitation, pointing to the scrolls piled up next to him, he saw that there was no one around, and he rushed up with an arrow step, and his tone immediately changed, "Your Majesty is resting in Xu Jieyu's Zhujing Hall tonight, listening to Your Majesty's promise, it seems that there is a share of Xu Jieyu in Luoyang this time!" ”
This is not surprising news. As early as the last time he met Xu Jieyu, Li Xian had to recognize that in terms of charm, except for his own fierce mother, no one in the palace could match this Xu Jieyu. Now that his mother is pregnant and can't go with him, does he want his father to stay alone in the empty room and be a bachelor?
"Xu Jieyu also mentioned it to His Majesty today, saying that it was her niece who was young and beautiful, compared to her sister, Emperor Taizong's Concubine Xu Xian, it seems that His Majesty is deeply moved."
If the previous news was expected by Li Xian, then this news is really a bit surprising. In the end, Li Xian had to come to a conclusion with a wry smile - a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, and sure enough, even the emperor Laozi is no exception!
