Chapter 632: The Taste of Empress Taishang
Chapter 632: The Taste of Empress Taishang
What is it like for the queen to ascend to the queen?
If it had been a few days ago, Empress Wu would not have felt as deeply as she does now, but at this moment, she could be said to have a fire in her heart. Although the house is still the familiar Zichen Palace, although the people in the palace around her are still so respectful, although the scrolls on the desk are piled high, but now no matter what she looks at, it is not pleasing to the eye, and her heart is full of anger that is difficult to vent.
"You all stand down!"
As early as the end of the ceremony, Ah Qian was sensitive to the fact that the Empress Wu was not in the right mood, and at this time, seeing that this person's expression was getting more and more gloomy, she took it upon herself to give the order. Seeing that everyone was gone, she didn't blame her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her trick had worked, so she quietly retreated to the desk to pack her things.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the original in the hall had doubled, and it was shining brightly. The weather was still cold, and the charcoal basins were still burning everywhere, and because of the incense, there was an indescribable fragrance in the air. On weekdays, Empress Wu felt that this smell was refreshing, but at this time, she felt an unspeakable irritability, and finally swallowed back the command that came to her mouth.
What good would it do her if she knew she was in a terrible mood?
After settling down, she turned around and sat down at the desk, took a piece of paper casually, dipped the pen in thick ink, and wrote the paper, but it was Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" in the past. Although her calligraphy and calligraphy are not the same style, after writing it down a few times, she already felt a lot more relaxed, and then began to ponder her husband's intentions.
She had never noticed her husband's intentions in this regard. So today I was a little caught off guard. But now that I think about it carefully, there are actually signs of this matter, coupled with the situation reported by the imperial doctor before, so I really think that this new prince was established earlier. It's also good to make the ministers less worried.
However, why didn't Li Zhi discuss this matter with her at all! Was it doubts, or was it because she was worried that she would object, or was it because of some other reason she wasn't aware of?
Thinking like this, her mind that had easily calmed down became a little messy again, and the handwriting on the paper was even more messy, and at last she had to put down her pen and take a deep breath. Originally, she thought that Li Zhi's retreat to the emperor was just a whim. But now that I think about it carefully, it was the result of careful consideration, and from this point of view, this time it was undoubtedly her miscalculation!
Ah Qian, who was grinding ink on the side, found that the Empress Wu's emotions were scattered, and she was even more silent. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she noticed a figure shaking at the side door, so she dropped the ink block and hurried over. After learning the reason from the mouth of the little chamberlain, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned around and came back to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Rongguo is here!" ”
Although the most appropriate title at this time is Empress Taishang. But she intuitively felt that Empress Wu didn't seem to like the title of Empress Taishang, so she still used the original, and seeing that Empress Wu was not angry, she strengthened her thoughts. Sure enough, when she heard her mother's words, Empress Wu's face showed surprise and joy that could not be concealed, and she immediately greeted her in person.
"Why don't you let people say a word before you come, I'll send a car to pick it up!"
Although she is over ninety years old, she can be regarded as a high lifespan, but Mrs. Rongguo's Yang family raised it for a winter. The body is getting tougher and tougher. Looking at the daughter who had been promoted to Empress Taishang, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Today's big event, how can I alarm you for a little thing?" I haven't been in the palace for a long time, and I thought to myself that you would come and have a look, so why should you be alarmed too widely? ”
Mother and daughter are connected, and many of the temperaments of the Empress Wu are passed on from her mother, so she naturally knows that Yang's words are insincere. So, she motioned for Ah Qian to retreat left and right, and personally helped her mother to sit down on the soft couch in the inner room. I just sat down together.
"Mei Niang, presumably you didn't expect today's events?"
For Yang, he bluntly debunked his heart knot. Empress Wu couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then nodded: "My Majesty and I have been married for decades, and he has never hidden it from me in major matters. This time, he not only hid it from the ministers, but also from Xian'er, and even I hid it, which is really chilling. I thought that he had frequently summoned Hong'er to teach him face-to-face, but who knew that he was discussing this matter! ”
"If a married couple is not reliable, how can a husband and wife who have been married for 20 years say that they must know each other?" Yang said a word, and when he saw that Wu Hou's face was condensed, he smiled again, "There is no need to be cold, he was able to still be obsessed with your sister's beauty at such a critical moment, and it is inevitable to think a little more at this moment." I know that you are reluctant to hold on to the power in your hands, since this is the case, then hold it firmly, are you still afraid that my two grandsons will compete with you? ”
Speaking of these, the wrinkles on Yang's face seemed to be smoothed out all at once, and he actually showed a radiant expression: "Although Hong'er has been the prince for more than ten years, his body is too weak, and he will definitely let go of power." Xian'er is certainly smart, but he has always been impatient with practice, and it is impossible to grasp everything. In this case, the power will inevitably fall into the hands of the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, and Your Majesty may not be happy, so you will not let you, the queen of the Supreme Princess, delegate power, what are you worried about? ”
Yang knows every word of what he said, but today it is true
This move was so angry that for a while, there were some unprecedentedly troubled moments, and she also felt that her heart was gradually calming down: "It seems that I am a little worried." Rather than having time to think about this, it is better to arrange some more manpower around His Majesty. So many people have never even heard about such a major matter, it's like a wine bag and a rice bag! ”
"That's the right thing to do."
A pleased smile bloomed on Yang's old face: "Although His Majesty has become the emperor, his every move is more effective than Hong'er, the emperor. Grasping His Majesty is the best policy, and the rest is empty talk.
Your Majesty is no better than Emperor Gaozu, and he will not really retreat to the deep palace and care about anything. ”
After the major events were discussed, the mother and daughter had to chat with each other, and also mentioned Li Xian, who was about to get married. It's just that Li Xian has always been a stubborn character, so neither of them paid too much attention to it, and as they talked, the topic turned to the now vacant Duke of Zhou. Although neither Empress Wu nor Mrs. Rongguo value the title of Duke Guo, this is a symbol of the inheritance of the Wu family, so it cannot be completely ignored.
"Speaking of which, I never thought that Xian'er would teach a lesson, but he actually taught Minzhi's kid a lesson, and he actually didn't want the title and would rather run outside!" Empress Wu is omnipotent for Li Xiandi, and she still feels a little magical, "It's just that the Duke of the Kingdom is not good to let it go like this this week, mother, you have taken in the Wu Sansi brothers at home, but do you think they are suitable for the lord?" ”
"Wu Sansi is still smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, but if you want to talk about the person who attacked the lord, you don't necessarily have to use him."
If Wu Sansi knew that he had worked hard to contaminate Mrs. Rongguo, but in the end he would get such a sentence, then he would definitely be disappointed. Even Empress Wu was surprised by her mother's answer. Except for the Wu Sansi brothers, the rest of the Wu family is scattered all over the place, if the mother didn't take a fancy to Wu Sansi, why would she leave people behind?
"Anyway, there are still many people in the martial arts family who are under twenty, and the title of Duke of Zhou is vacant, so it is good to stimulate them to be motivated. It's like a meat bone, if no one comes to grab it, what's the fun? ”
Yang's words decided the future of the dukedom of this country. For any other prince, the heir is all determined early, and there has never been a matter of having a title like the Duke of Zhou that has been idle for many years. But as long as Empress Wu is in the first day, no one will question such a trivial matter, so she is not worried that such a title will be withdrawn by the imperial court.
Her emperor's son-in-law - now it should be said that he is the son-in-law of the emperor, in order to elevate the martial family, he did not hesitate to mobilize the people to add officials to a large group of meritorious heroes, just to cover up his selfishness, how can he be stingy with a mere duke now?
Compared with any of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the courtesy enjoyed by Mrs. Rongguo in the Daming Palace was unique. Not only can you enter the palace and live in the palace at any time, but you also don't need to bow when you see the Son of Heaven. Therefore, when Empress Wu was promoted to the queen mother for the first time to visit the palace, she still lived in the Hanliang Hall according to the old routine, but she was thinking about the news brought by Yan San a few days ago.
Although the old thief is a little ugly, fortunately, he is easy to control and is extremely handy to use. After getting the news, she almost wanted to kill someone, but in the end she endured it. It's just that she never thought that Li Xian would be bold in that kind of thing.
"Since I am a grandson, I also married my most precious granddaughter, alas, I have to bear some responsibilities to help hide it!"
Covered with a snow-white bearskin blanket, Yang sighed softly, then closed his eyes and closed his eyes. She is already old, and she has a few years to live, and the task of the eldest daughter Mrs. Han to take care of Gu Li Xian before her death has been completed, and as for herself, she only has one wish from Helan Minzhi - fortunately, looking at the current situation, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
What she needs to worry about is this unprecedented situation. The Emperor, the Empress, the Emperor, the Emperor's younger brother - if she hadn't experienced it herself, she would have thought it was a strange story, but this kind of thing was really realized. What should she say about her emperor's son-in-law, should she say that he is whimsical, or should she praise him for being smart?
There is another most important thing, Helan Yan has been married to Li Xian for more than a year, why has there been no movement so far? Could it be that the drugs she sent at the beginning had side effects, so she couldn't conceive a child for a long time?
Thinking of these messy questions, the Yang family, who was over nine years old, couldn't help but smile bitterly - they all said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if only she really didn't have to worry about it! God bless her grandson with many blessings and longevity, and bless her daughter with everything she can think about!
