At the end of November of the second year of the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Chunqiu, the lord of Silla, appeared in Luoyang and wanted to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, the emperors of the two countries had a secret discussion without mentioning it.

Luoyang Palace.

Because Mei Niang was pregnant before, she missed Li Zhi's birthday and Queen Wende's sacrifice, so this time she asked for a decree from Zhi, and wanted to celebrate three ceremonies at the end of the year.

Li Zhi smiled and said to the ministers:

"If this is the case, it coincides with the fact that the lords of all countries will enter the Luoyang court, and I have set a new music system, but at this time, I am happy, the queen is dancing, and I will perform the ritual of sacrificing my mother."

When all the officials heard it, they all sighed and were excited-

sighs that Li Zhi and the queen are filial piety; The excited thing is that Li Zhi is still thrifty, and he has been on board for the first time, and this is the first domestic court meeting.

As a result, all the countries in the world rose up, and Jin Chunqiu, the lord of Silla, who was originally leaving, could only be drowned, and ordered his wife, his uncle, the great general Jin Yuxin, to return to China first to stabilize all things in the country.

In the afternoon, Luoyang Palace.

Looking at the palace attendants who were busy back and forth, Li Zhi, who was dressed lightly and newly, was very satisfied, and asked the ministers around him:

"How is the situation of the envoys of various countries coming to the court?"

"Back to the Lord, in addition to the lords of the seventeen kingdoms who are already in Beijing, such as Silla, Tubo, Khotan, and Yueshi, there are still three lords who have entered the city, and they will definitely appear at the banquet tonight."

"Oh? It's all the country's own personal visit? ”

Li Zhi smiled in surprise.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled indifferently and said:

"After all, this grand meeting is also a grand event once every few years, and it is related to the future trend of Datang in the sea......

It is also natural that the lords of the countries will come to congratulate in person, and that they have the intention to inquire about the national situation. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said:

"It's just a pity, Goguryeo and Baekje...... In the end, it didn't come. Instead, it's Dongying...... Someone was sent. ”

"Exactly, I heard that the person who came, but it was a foreign envoy who was drowned in Beijing. It's not a local general. Seemingly...... Emperor Qi Ming now, even the last bit of leeway, doesn't want to leave it for himself. ”

When Li Zhi heard the three words of Emperor Qi Ming, his eyebrows sank, and he said after a while:

"It seems that my uncle already knows what happened outside the palace a few days ago."

"The Lord is on the dragon body......" When the eldest grandson Wuji said these four words, he first looked around, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he said lightly:

"The main dragon body is like this, although Niangniang seems to be unconcerned, in fact, she has already been secretly born with demons. A few days ago, when the Tianzhu monk entered the country, the minister heard that Niangniang went around to inquire about the monk's ability...... Thinking that the mother is anxious for the Lord's restorative heart, it is already undeniable.

Therefore, it is not surprising that some people have calculated that the so-called auspicious rui will really be able to save the day for the Lord.

Just an arrow shot at that Mrs. Li...... The old minister was really puzzled. ”

Li Zhi's eyebrows were gloomy, and he knew why Mei Niang was protecting Suqin, but he couldn't say it directly.

After a long time, he looked up at the sky and sighed:

"Because that child looks too similar to her sister."

This sentence is not a lie - today's Suqin is like Xu Hui in the Yanjia Palace back then. The same delicate and lovely, gentle and elegant. Mei Niang can't help but feel sad every time she sees her - this is why Li Zhi has never wanted Suqin to enter the palace for too long.

But in this case, to the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is a different feeling......

Although it also solved the doubts in his heart to some extent, in his ears, what Mei Niang was watching through Suqin was not Xu Hui, but Taizong Zhaoyuan Elemental Qin back then.

Sighing, Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said:

"If so, the thief really knows the mother's heart thoroughly...... Even the mother will subconsciously push the old girl's young sister away when the arrow comes, and she is within the range of the arrow, and it is counted. ”

"Indeed, if you shoot Mei Niang directly with an arrow, you will definitely not be hit by an arrow with Mei Niang's cleverness. But if an arrow shoots at the child...... That is bound to let Mei Niang send it to the door herself. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded again and said:

"Just like the mother will choose to believe in the so-called Tianzhu monk and auspicious things for the sake of the lord's dragon body?"

Li Zhi was silent, and said lightly for a while:

"Uncle knows, I don't believe in these people."

"You don't believe it because you can see through it. Niangniang's letter is because Niangniang can't see through it......

She can see through herself and the people of the world, but she can't see through life and death, love, hatred, hatred and ignorance are empty. I can't see through what the Lord wants in his life, but he is just staying with her, and the two are white-headed. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Zhi who stopped, and he also stopped and said:

"Therefore she is demanding, and she is demanding that the Lord may be safe and peaceful for all his life...... She demands ...... you"

He looked at Li Zhi's gaze and darkened slightly:

"I beg you to walk behind her...... At least, at the end of this life, you can live well and send her to sleep in the Yellow Spring. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes turned red, turned around, turned his back to the eldest grandson Wuji, and said for a while:

"Mei Niang has been in her life, and others owe her too much, but she never complains, let alone demands. Even if everyone thinks that she is like this, she must have been full of resentment and harsh everywhere......

She is not demanding, just because she has been used to losing since she was a child, and after getting used to hard work, she is still empty-handed and desolate alone......

She already thought that this kind of life was her normal state, so she ......"

After a pause, as if taking a deep breath and exhaling it, Li Zhicai said:

"She knows how to cherish more than anyone else, and she knows how to cherish it more than anyone else. Therefore, the person she puts in her heart is the happiest person in the world. Because she's going to do everything she can to keep everything she wants to keep......

And this is also the reason why my father chose her and designed her like this, and my uncle didn't want to be her and targeted her so much......

Because you all know that the more she loses, the more she cherishes everything she has......

Father's ...... Uncle...... Lady Princess...... Wang De......

and even the third and fourth brothers......

All your designs are nothing more than cutting off all her retreats, so that she can only rely on me......

I can only rely on me...... In this way, she is talented and strategic, so that she can be used by me.

Even for this purpose, you can stay with the Wu family and daughter......

Because you know that with the insatiable lust of the mother and daughter, they will definitely defeat themselves, and they will not be able to stand in the court......

In this way, Mei Niang's last bit of support will also be cut off, and from then on, she can rely on and trust, and she is really the only one who can be trusted......

Right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent.

Li Zhi didn't wait for him to speak again, he suddenly turned around, with tears in his eyes, and stared at the eldest grandson Wuji for a long time before he said lightly:

"Uncle, a young slave for a lifetime, respect you, respect you. But that's the only thing......

Although you know that everything is a child......

The slave can't forgive you, and in the same way, when you see your father under the Nine Springs, the slave can't forgive your father......"

Turning his head, Li Zhi took a deep breath and swallowed his tears, his eyebrows sad:

"No matter who she is in your eyes, but in the case of the childish slave, she is just the beloved woman of the child's life, and after the departure of her father and queen mother, the last bit of attachment and attachment of the childish slave in this world is the blood of the child, the bone of the child, the heart of the child, and the soul of the child......

If it weren't for her...... There will be no Li Zhi today, the immature slave of the past, it is even more difficult to live the unpredictable events of these decades, and the cangju is ......

So ......"

Spit out again, Li Zhi's eyes were cold:

"All this life, uncle, and immature slaves will not forgive you and your father; In this life, the immature slave will never let Mei Niang and the children become pawns that you can easily sacrifice and abandon for the so-called Li Tang Jiangshan.

Childish slave ...... Not ......"

Li Zhi raised his head proudly, his mind was indifferent, and his heart was far away:

"Today, in front of my uncle and under the heroic spirit of my father, I, Li Zhi, swear this poisonous oath in the name of my mother's eldest grandson:

All my life, I will protect my wife and son, I will be free and casual all my life, and I will never be deceived and abandoned by you again! ”

Every word, every sentence, Li Zhi said very lightly, but the words that were as strong as Mount Tai were like a sharp blade, piercing into the chest of the eldest grandson Wuji one after another.

On that sword, there seemed to be an eternal ice, and there seemed to be an inextinguishable flame, which made him burn like death for a while, and like a cold for a while......

This important minister, who served the three generations of monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, felt for the first time that he seemed to have done something wrong under such a heavy blow.

But he ......

What exactly is being done wrong?

He looked blankly at Li Zhi's back, which was already more upright and majestic than himself, thinking, thinking over and over again:

He......

What did you do wrong?

But Li Zhi couldn't hear the voice in his heart, let alone his expression.

Li Zhi just paused, and then said lightly:

"So, this time, the first one I can't forgive is the ...... Emperor Qi Ming."

A murderous intent seeped out from Li Zhi's body and filled the air:

"In any case, as the emperor of a country, he actually intended to harm my Tang Empress because of some selfishness......

She, the emperor, can be regarded as the head, and what is even more odious is ......"

Li Zhi turned around, and his eyebrows were like autumn:

"She dared to take advantage of Mei Niang's concern for me, and used the so-called auspicious things to trap and kill Mei Niang...... With this alone, I will never allow her to conspire with those who are secretly conspiring with her! ”

As soon as Li Zhi's words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart sank:

"The Lord's intention, Niangniang was secretly designed by someone this time, and she wanted to be lured by cunning, is there someone who should cooperate with the outside? But Niang Niang is usually thoughtful, and Fang will get pregnant with the prince, so she will not leave the palace in common sense.

This time, she will be stranded by the divine beast because of the prayer for the Lord to be safe, and it happens to be that time and place...... This ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stopped, his eyes stunned, confused, miserable.

Li Zhi glanced at him and said lightly:

"That's right, Mei Niang is thoughtful, and she is about to conceive a child, so she usually won't leave the palace. What's more, it is out of the palace, where do outsiders think that she is related to the political stability of the Tang Dynasty because of this matter, so she will break her heart for me, and she will be patient and plain as usual?

With just a few Dongying spies who are not in the climate, it is impossible to think that they can infiltrate Luoyang Palace and find out what is going on in her heart.

Therefore, I can get to know her heart, and I can know when she will leave the palace, when she will choose to take a look at the so-called divine beast, and then step by step set a poisonous plan to assassinate her......

Only at the same time did I know that I was suffering from wind and disease, and I knew that Mei Niang, who was calm on the surface, was already worried about me and became a demon......

Heart-to-heart people. ”
