Tang Yonghui in March of the fifth year.

Gaozong Li Zhi, driving the Wannian Palace.

Attendants, harem concubines are only one of the Zhaoyi Wu clan in the government palace.

Among the princes, only the prince was not allowed to accompany him because of his practice of supervising the country, and the rest of the people went together.

It's night.

The Great Treasure Hall in the Wannian Palace.

Li Zhi sat in his cloak and sat under the candlestick, perusing the new folds.

On one side, Mei Niang distributed a plain shirt, carefully read the scroll in her hand on one wall, and carefully pointed at Li Hong, who was three years old at the time, to recite some simple articles.

Smelling Jiao'er reading the article, the sound is like a jade chime, very beautiful, Li Zhi is happy in his heart, just in time to make a new folded prescription will be annotated, so he has a joking heart, took the Zhu pen Zihao, and watched Mei Niang rush in because of Minghe, and whispered with Li Hongdao:

"Hong'er can be a surrogate father?"

Ping Suri Li Zhi is also used to being casual in front of Mei Niang's mother and son, and this Zhu Bi Zihao Li Hong has also seen his father when his mother was so sick and sick, and he forced it in his hand to fold it on his behalf, so he is not strange.

In addition, Li Hong was only three years old at this time, where did he understand that these things were forbidden by the Son of Heaven, and they were the heirs of the prince and dragon, and they could not be written?

Naturally, he was pleased to accept it, and he laughed and played with it and folded it to the new one, and according to the appearance of his father and mother who had seen him in Pingsuli when he folded it, he drew a circle on it and played with himself.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if Li Hong is naturally smart-

This new fold was reported by the Huzhou government because of the abundant rain last year, the rice grain was overloaded, the warehouse was overloaded, and there was another rat infestation, so Li Zhi asked Li Zhi to give the treasury the Persian god cat to eliminate the rat infestation.

But the person who folded this book seemed to be a little anxious and scribbled, and even lost two of the mouse characters in it, and turned it into a four-

It's just that this word is thick, and it is better to use the ancient subordinate on the Tang State Road, so Li Zhi didn't feel strange for a while.

And Li Hong is also a coincidence, the red circle is exactly drawn on this mouse character, and when the first circle is drawn, Li Zhi, who is holding him in his arms and laughing and amused, does not feel different, but he feels that it is a coincidence.

But when he was making fun of himself that Jiao'er was so smart, Li Hong was a stroke again, and his pen was weak, but he also drew crookedly on another wrong mouse character.

At this moment, Li Zhi was only surprised, his eyes widened, and he only stared at his little Jiao'er and his grandfather, and the two faces poured out of the same mold looked at each other unmovingly.

And this state naturally attracted the attention of Minghe, who was facing them and reporting internal affairs to Mei Niang, who was facing back to the father and son, and forgot for a while that he was reporting to Mei Niang, and looked at the two of them in a daze.

Mei Niang naturally immediately noticed that something was wrong, and when she turned her head to look, was the Zhu pen Zihao still in Li Hong's little hand?

She was so stunned that she couldn't cry or laugh, one wall pinched the pen from the child's hand, and the other wall scolded Li Zhi with a smile:

"Jiro is getting more and more ridiculous!

I don't want to think that this is not Taiji Palace, let alone Lizheng Palace!

You're stuffing this thing for your child to draw and play with on such an important folding book?!

Aren't you afraid that the courtiers will make trouble?! ”

Li Zhi blinked, turned his head to look at her, and suddenly laughed:

"Don't be afraid!

If they want to make trouble, they have to have a reason to make trouble! ”

Mei Niang was stunned, and then she knew that there was something wrong, so she immediately went to look at the folded book, and Minghe was also curious, so she also came up to see it.

For a while, the master and servant were so shocked that they were speechless for a while.

After a while, Ming He laughed in surprise:

"Ahh

Minghe only heard from his master that the lord had held a pen and a book when he was a child, and he was called a miracle by the palace.

Now it seems that this intelligence is also autobiographical! ”

Li Zhiben was triumphant, and when he heard this, he couldn't wait to raise his face to the sky.

Mei Niang watched from the side, although she was also quite surprised that the youngest son was so accurate, but in the end, she felt that it was just a coincidence, or the child also read some easy-to-understand ancient official books, thinking that she recognized this word, and felt that it was not good, so she shook her head and said nothing.

But Li Zhi in this compartment didn't think so, he looked at Li Hong's gaze, and there was another layer of deep meaning.

And this deep meaning also makes Mei Niang, who has been with him for more than ten years, and has long been born in the body of two people, immediately alert, and gradually felt worried in her heart.

It's late at night.

After settling down in the palace, Mei Niang and Li Zhi both lay on the couch and whispered to each other side by side.

Between the words, Li Zhi talked about Li Hong's matter today, with a smug expression on his face, and even said that another day, he would have to take Hong'er to take a look at this skill with the eldest grandson Wuji and other courtiers, so that people would know that Mei Niangsheng's Hong'er was smart, and he had to be trained so well.

Seeing this, Mei Niang was worried, so she couldn't help but say lightly:

"And what's next?

Next, what does Jiro plan to do with Hong'er? ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Mei Niang, and said lightly after a while:

"You don't like it?"

“…… Jiro loves Hong'er, how can Mei Niang not know?

But this state of affairs ......

Has Jiro ever thought about what kind of consequences it will bring to Hong'er? ”

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"What do you mean......

When I was three years old, I was held by my father on my lap and wrote it in hand, and now Hong'er happened to do the same......

If I deliberately tell the courtiers about this again, maybe the courtiers will think that I have moved the idea of easy storage? ”

"When Jiro saw Hong'er's circle words, did he really not have such a mind?"

Mei Niang turned her head and stared straight at Li Zhi with bright eyes.

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"Yes...... That's it......

But I just thought about it.

Mei Niang......

You know, although Zhong'er, filial piety, Sujie, Shangjin...... They are all my children......

But my favorite is Hong'er. ”

"If Jiro really loves Hong'er, then why don't you fulfill him and complete what Jiro wanted to do back then, but never got what he wanted?"

Mei Niang gently held Li Zhi's hand and put it on her cheek, gently pressed her cheek together, felt it carefully, and said slowly:

"Back then, Jiro wanted to be a happy prince, and he didn't want to be an emperor anymore......

Mei Niang also really hopes that Hong'er can really be just a king, not an emperor......

Even if it is possible, if Jiro can change Hong'er to the king of Bohai County, Mei Niang will be very satisfied. ”

Li Zhi frowned, and said lightly after a while:

"You want me to fold Hong'er so far away......

If I didn't know your sincerity, I'm afraid I'd think you'd be ruthless.

Mei Niang, you did this, did you ever think that Hong'er would hate you in the future? ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes, and said lightly after a while:

"When a child is still young, he naturally has opportunities and time to teach him what is right and what is true happiness.

Mei Niang's wish, only Jiro and Hong'er are safe.

Over the years, there have been ups and downs in the Taiji Palace for more than ten years......

Jiro, do you really hope that Hong'er will follow your steps in the future and work as hard as you? ”

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"You're right.

But Mei Niang, you should know that as my child and yours, no matter how unwilling you are, Hong'er will be forced to walk on this road sooner or later.

Why don't you take advantage of the fact that now, Haosheng trained him so that he knew how to protect himself? ”

Mei Niang raised her eyes and looked at Li Zhi:

"Why did Jiro say that?

Could it be that Jiro wants to say that Uncle Yuan and their father-in-law would agree to ask Hong'er to replace Zhong'er?!

Jiro, you really shouldn't have said this! ”

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"Zhong'er's mental consciousness is good, you are also watching.

It's just that the uncle didn't find out that Hong'er was superior at this time.

If my uncle finds out......

I'm just afraid that he ......"

Mei Niang imagined, and suddenly panicked for no reason, and said categorically:

"He's not going to find out......

Mei Niang won't teach him what he finds ......"

Li Zhi hugged Mei Niang, felt her stiff body, gritted his teeth, and sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he couldn't bear to open his mouth and disappointed her:

Although he knew very well that Mei Niang's declaration could only make her feel at ease-

After all, since ancient times, all emperors' families, but those who have the sons of the middle palace who are smart will be supported by the ministers and become princes.

Even if the queen mother of the son of the middle palace is not loved by the courtiers, or even a queen who is disgusted.

It's only about Tianli Dalun and about Jiangshan Sheji......

Compared with just inheriting the heir, his biological mother's original background was extremely low, and his heir's mother, the queen and queen, was so unkind and uneducated, so that in the eyes of the courtiers, Li Zhonglai, the eldest son of the emperor, Li Hong's biological mother was a servant of the two dynasties, but she entered the palace with an innocent body, and her father's identity as the founding hero, no matter what, it can't erase a high-class noble family with the title of a national duke.

And most importantly......

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang, who was gradually blurred and sleepy, stretched out his hand to hug her in his arms, and sighed silently in his heart:

Mei Niang......

Although Mei Niang is not liked by the ministers, her methods of doing things, her wit and bearing, are already the opponents who teach her invisibly, and those who are dissatisfied with her are quite heartbroken.

She is like this, and she is trained by herself, and she is so smart......

is such a strange background, and he is so worthy of the legacy of his mother's eldest grandson......

How could he not be liked by the courtiers and then be enshrined as the crown prince?

Something like that......

This kind of thing, from the beginning when Mei Niang was pregnant with Hong'er, he was vaguely aware.

And when Hong'er feasted on the full moon, Li Zhi saw it clearly from the eyes of his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji.

So......

He subconsciously hugged Mei Niang into his arms again, shook his head and sighed:

“…… That's why Mei Niang, I will give my child such a name......

Mei Niang, when this child is conceived in your womb......

He is destined to become the king of a country, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and my only successor......

You......

Do you really not understand, or do you not want to understand? ”

Muttering, he seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to ask the wife in his arms who was still frowning in her sleep and was unhappy.

……

Tang Yonghui in early April of the fifth year.

Because of the war between Dashi and Persia, it has affected the Tang border, and the chief captain of Beijing, Sun Wuji, and other ministers are slightly worried, so they have a carriage and horse and have a palace of ten thousand years, and ask Li Zhizhun to increase troops on the border to help the Persian war in case there is a disturbance.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was quite moved at first, but later learned that the Persian king Yi Heihou had been killed by the Great Food, and his son Belus could not reply to the letter because he had asked Li Zhi for permission to help him, so he went straight to Tochar.

Then he frowned and said softly:

"It's okay to do this, the father goes to the son to save, and there is Tocharo, and it will be difficult to do it after eating this time.

In addition, the Persian domain is far away from our Tang Dynasty, and if our army sends troops to help, I am afraid that it will become a trouble, and we will watch the tiger fight against each other. ”

The ministers had quite objections, but Li Zhi made a decision, and had no choice but to accept Li Zhi's order, and the ministers lived in the palace for ten thousand years, just waiting for the British public news in front.

Three days later, the British sent a letter to Belus to ask Tocharian to send troops to succeed, but as Li Zhi said, the ministers wondered in their hearts, and they discussed with each other privately.

When Li Zhi heard this, he summoned all the ministers and said:

"At first glance, it seemed that my Datang would have to help me, but in fact, after thinking about it, I knew what happened:

And no matter how far away Persia is, if it is not a place where my Tang Dynasty heroes can come with military will, just talk about Belus's request for my Tang Dynasty and throw it aside, you will know that there must be an article in it.

Thinking that Tocharian is quite ambitious and intends to fight against the Great Eclipse, this time Belus will be happy if he asks for them.

My Tang Dynasty is so far away from the Persian Great Food, if I rush out of the school, wouldn't I teach Tocharian to resent?

I don't think about him, but I hope that the brothers in the sea, although they all need to surrender to my Datang, they can also get a share of the soup under the rule of Datang.

With people to security, but also with people with wealth and food, this side is the governance of the country. ”

When the ministers heard this, they bowed in their hearts.
