The night was dark.

Tai Chi Palace.

Mei Niang stood alone on the top of the tower under the starlight and moonlight, covered in a big hat, and between the pitches, there was heaven and earth.

There was a sudden indescribable feeling of pleasure in her chest.

Maybe......

This is the most fascinating part of this imperial court?

To be able to see so much, so far away......

Though there are strife, and though there are slaughters, and though there are all kinds of pains......

But after all, there are still some things that are different from the outside, and there are places that are different from the outside......

At least such a world, outside, in her own home, she had never seen it in any way.

No matter what kind of famous mountains and rivers she had, she had never seen such a strange scene or such a state.

But......

She suddenly lowered her head and smiled:

"If it weren't for him......"

Yes, if there is no Li Zhi, maybe she will go up to this tower today, and it will be difficult?

So......

It turns out that Li Zhi's meaning to her is so important......

She was in a trance, and her whole body stood in the moonlight, just watching all this in amazement.

Even, until someone came from behind, he didn't notice it.

……

Di Renjie stood in place, looking at this extraordinarily charming woman standing in the moonlight.

He was silent, and he did not move.

I don't know why, in his eyes at this moment, what he sees is not a woman.

But what is it......

But he didn't know.

At least at this moment, what is the gender and identity of the person in front of you......

It doesn't seem to matter anymore.

But this man stood before him like a tower......

That's enough.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too inappropriate, and he shook his head, and then said:

"Chen Di Renjie, meet Wu Niangzi."

Mei Niang heard the voice, turned around, looked at the young and handsome young man, and suddenly laughed:

"Lord Di is polite, please get up quickly."

Di Renjie thanked him and got up, with a pair of clear and bright eyes, he only looked at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang nodded and continued to smile:

"It's all done, right?"

"Yes.

Tomorrow, the eldest grandson Taiwei will inevitably deal with the affairs of His Royal Highness King Xu.

It's just ......"

Mei Niang smiled and said:

"It's just that it seems that Captain Eldest Sun has already had this intention, right?"

Di Renjie was stunned, but he nodded unexpectedly:

"Exactly."

Mei Niang nodded, smiled slightly, and then said softly:

"Lord Taiwei's wisdom and strategy, such a trivial matter is naturally expected.

And for Lord Taiwei, whether it is the lord or several princes, they are all more important than his life......

So it's not surprising that there is such thoughtfulness.

What do you find strange......

Lord Taiwei has been thinking about it so far, but he has not spoken......

Really? ”

Di Renjie thought for a while, hesitated and said:

"Will it ......

Is it inconvenient for Lord Taiwei to take the initiative to mention this matter, so he is waiting for someone to discuss this matter first? ”

Mei Niang nodded and said approvingly:

"yes.

For him, because of the matter of King Qi before, he was already almost tense with the clan.

At this moment, presumably he is also reluctant to go to the clan again, because there is any conflict with the prince.

So someone can mention it before him, and then he can help him......

This is the best result.

At least, for his old man, it was the best outcome. ”

Di Renjie thought about it for a while, and then said:

"In fact, the power and faction of Lord Taiwei in the palace of the court, this kind of forbearance is really not like his style of acting.

Could there be anything else on mind? ”

Mei Niang shook her head, but said:

"Nope.

This should be the original intention of Lord Taiwei.

Master Di, do you know why Mei Niang respects Lord Taiwei so much? ”

Di Renjie shook his head.

Mei Niang said softly:

"Because he is the only one among the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty at the moment, who regards the affairs of the Tang Dynasty and the Lord as more important than his life......"

Di Renjie's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he said in surprise:

"Could it be that Lord Taiwei is so tolerant in order to seek a balance of power between the DPRK and China?"

Mei Niang nodded and sighed softly:

Even the Guan Long faction that he single-handedly supported has existed for this purpose......

It's just that he didn't expect it, and even until this moment, he was afraid of it......

This Guan Long lineage, which is now no different from the clan, has become the biggest cancer in Datang. ”

Di Renjie was also gloomy, and said after a long time:

"Most of the things in the world are like this, and they can't be as good as they should be."

After the two were silent for a long time, Mei Niang suddenly asked:

"What about the other adults with such an attitude of Captain Eldest Sun?"

Di Renjie thought about it, but nodded and said:

"The lady doesn't ask, the minister is about to say it!

It's okay for other adults, but Lord Na Yu seems to have some different opinions.

However, he has always been in the same breath as the eldest grandson, so naturally he won't say anything more. ”

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows, turned around with interest and asked:

"Oh?

You say that Lord Suiliang Yu?

That's a strange thing.

has always been in the court, and the one who is most compatible with the eldest grandson Taiwei is this Lord Yu......

Why did he drink two pots of tea with Lord Taiwei today?

(Here's an explanation of what two pots of tea mean.)

The Tang people love tea, which has been explained before.

And because of the preferences of the people in the Tang Dynasty, this love for tea gradually penetrated into daily life and cultural exchanges.

At that time, the early Tang Dynasty scholars had such a saying that they could not only drink the same jar of wine, but also taste the same pot of tea, which was for confidants.

This means that if you want to find a confidant who can drink the same jar of wine and enjoy the same pot of tea as yourself, then this person can be said to be your confidant.

The meaning of Mei Niang's words here is that Yu Suiliang, who has always been with the eldest grandson Wuji, suddenly made such an attitude, unlike his usual behavior. ）”

Di Renjie thought about it for a while, but said:

"It's strange to say.

In daily life, Lord Yu is above official affairs, although he admonishes a lot, but he almost does not have the meaning of the eldest grandson.

But today, as soon as he heard the words of his ministers, he immediately made a faction of opposition.

It was only later that because the eldest grandson Taiwei was quite agreeable, he accepted it......

Lady, according to the minister's opinion, most of the adults just don't like the minister's words......

But it may not be that he is at odds with the eldest grandson. ”

Mei Niang nodded and said softly:

"You're right.

Anyone in this world can betray Captain Changsun, but Lord Yu will not.

However, the matter is also worth investigating.

Rest assured, I will consult with 'the One' on this matter, and see how I can make a decision." ”

When Di Renjie heard this, his mind was somewhat relaxed, he thanked him at the time, and then Mei Niang gave a few more instructions, and then turned around and retired.

……

A moment later.

Standing on top of the Que Tower, watching Di Renjie walk quickly to Mei Niang outside the imperial city alone, he suddenly smiled and asked without looking back:

"What do you think?"

Behind her, a tall shadow slowly stepped out of the shadows and gently embraced her in his arms.

She didn't struggle, she wasn't surprised, she just silently snuggled into the arms of the comer:

"This is good......

It seems that it has the same taste as Jiro! ”

The entire Tai Chi Palace...... No, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is only one person who can hold her like this, or dare to hold her like this-

Her husband, lover, Li Zhi, the son of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi smiled lightly, but his eyes were sharp:

"You think so, that's it!

Always be careful, though. ”

Mei Niang smiled and said:

"Didn't you just say that Lord Yu's heart, but he is loyal to Lord Taiwei?

Why be careful? ”

Li Zhi was silent, and said softly for a long time:

"It's because the person he's loyal to isn't me that I have to be careful.

No matter how faithful my uncle is to me, how faithful he is to my uncle......

A courtier who is not a direct show of loyalty to me, as the Lord, must always be careful. ”

Mei Niang was gloomy, turned around and stroked his face:

"You......

It's a little sad......"

“……

It's not sad, but it's also false? ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly, a little sad:

"In the end, since my father's time, he has treated me very well......

In my heart, they are not only the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, but also my ancestors......

But I didn't expect that when I sat on this throne, everything would be distorted to such a point......"

He smiled faintly and bitterly, and then lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms with eyes like water:

"It's okay......

At least that's how everything has always been between us......

There is no distortion, and it has not changed.

As long as this is the case, I am also content. ”

Mei Niang looked at him with pity, looking at this ** scattered, but for herself, she had to ascend to the throne of God, and the man who carried everything this distortion had gratitude in her eyes, guilt, and more, she was full of warmth and warmth:

"Jiro ......"

Li Zhi didn't say a word, just gently leaned his head into her neck, like a big dragon that was extremely tired and looking for a place to live, and slowly closed his eyes......

The moon is like water, and the light is like silver.

On the top of the tower, there are only two people, leaning on each other.

July 24 of the first year of Yonghui.

Tai Chi Palace.

On the Tai Chi Temple.

Morning.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, because of the advice of the ministers, with the second son Xu Wang Xiao, now has no conscience, and pity his older age, when the political affairs, is ordered to live in the Wude Palace, and stand under the advice of the doctor Sui Liang, thought to be educated.

As soon as this decree came out, both inside and outside the palace were shocked.

……

Inside the Thousand Autumn Palace.

These days, the already tense atmosphere in the Qianqiu Hall is even more noisy today.

"What the hell is going on?!

It's so dignified, why do you want to transfer that useless child out of the palace here!?

Why didn't you ask your family?! ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei was dressed in a bright purple palace dress, and her snow-white jade hand also slapped a few times towards the case, which shocked a vase next to her and jumped immediately.

Like the hearts of those servants who stand in lower positions.

Yufeng is no longer there, and the leader is a little girl named Yao'er in her palace.

This medicine is a clever person, and she also has some mental understanding, seeing her like this, she couldn't help but step forward and say:

"Niangniang is at ease, Niangniang is at ease.

In fact, this is a normal thing.

After all, according to the rules of the palace, the princes are nine years old, if there is no biological mother and no heir mother, then they will have to leave the palace of the surrogate mother and choose another residence......

In the final analysis, it is also to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, this Wude Palace, it sounds famous, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that when the first emperor was still His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Emperor Gaozu gave the residence of Yuanji, who died namelessly.

Moreover, the master that King Xu followed was not a master, let alone a captain......

Presumably, His Majesty didn't take him to heart at all, but it was just an obstacle to convention, and besides, the old adults outside had to listen to what they were talking about. ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei gritted her teeth and said:

"But how did this palace hear that the eldest grandson Wuji has a lot of comments on this matter!

For the sake of the Xu family before, the eldest grandson Wuji had already walked many times, so that she could inherit the bad water of Jin......

Could it be that this time he is also ......"

Yao'er thought about it for a while, but shook her head and said:

"Niangniang is right, this time the eldest grandson Taiwei did have a lot of postscripts.

However, as far as Yao'er knows, the person who raised this matter was not the eldest grandson Taiwei, but an official surnamed Di, what is his name......

What ......"

"Di Renjie ......"

Concubine Xiao squinted her eyes and said a name.
