In mid-April of the second year of Yonghui.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

Gaozong Li Zhi, because he heard that King Yuanying of Jinzhou Thorn Steng was arrogant and indulgent, lived in the bright and yin, wandered without festivals, and opened the city gate for several nights, harassing the people, or detonating bullets, or burying people in the snow to laugh.

Then he was furious, and then remembered that he was his uncle after all, and began to make a book:

"Take the right way, and you should also have more threads, Jin Ling Desolate King, how can you do it?

I regard Uncle Wang as my closest relative, but I cannot put the king in the realm of law, so now I take the king's examination (that is, the level of merit determined by the officials is very low) to make the king feel ashamed and repent. ”

When King Teng saw the book, he was slightly ashamed, but he did not repent.

However, although it is a little restrained, it does not know how to stop.

And he conspired with Jiang Wang Yundao, and he had a party style of accumulation.

Before the end of April, Li Zhi gave the kings 500 pieces of silk and thousands of money and silver because of something, but he was not as good as the two kings.

Rare among the ministers.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said to the court:

"King Teng and King Jiang can broker on their own, and they know that they have abundant family property, so they don't need to give anything.

However, thinking that his family was very wealthy, and he tasted (usually) the way to accumulate wealth, and suffered from being ropeless, so he gave two carts of hemp, thinking that money should be the most important.

When the two kings heard this, they were greatly ashamed, and they didn't know how to speak.

……

It's night.

In the Imperial Palace.

Mei Niang listened to Ryan's report with a smile, and nodded and said:

"That's it.

In this way, it not only knocked on the mountain, but also shook the tiger......

Presumably, the King of Shu will also be somewhat restrained in the future. ”

Ryan said heartily:

"Isn't it?

It's still my sister who is good at planning, if not, I'm afraid that the lord will have to fight secretly with His Royal Highness King Wu this time. ”

Mei Niang heard the word King Wu, her face couldn't help but sink slightly, and she sighed after a while:

"At the end of the day, I don't want to see that......

But if you continue to escape like this, it won't be a way after all......"

She shook her head lightly and said abruptly:

"After all, for Jiro, no matter how King Wu ......

He is still the third brother who treated him very well back then. ”

Ryan didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only remain silent.

An hour later.

Changan.

The eldest grandson of the house.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had just left the dynasty, walked quickly to the study in the back garden, followed only by Pei Xingjian and a few other close adults.

When he passed by the gate of the other garden of the eldest son and grandson Chong, who had been closed, he didn't even stop, and he never looked back.

Seeing this, Pei Xingjian and the others, who were following behind, couldn't help but sigh quietly, shook their heads and followed quickly.

After a while, he arrived in the study of the eldest grandson Wuji.

As soon as everyone entered the room, the eldest grandson Wuji shouted left and right, closed the door tightly and quickly, and then the old ministers were like daily life, after each of them grew a few years in the room, found a corresponding place to sit down, put down the official hat on his head, and took off the hairpin flower (the officials of the Tang Dynasty had hairpin flowers on the top of their hats), and then the eldest grandson Wuji first said:

"Presumably, you adults also know the old man's intention to summon you this time......

These days, the Lord has been moving frequently, and everything is unexpected......

I'm afraid, but it's a little abnormal! ”

Pei Xingjian nodded and said:

"Your Excellency is right.

I just don't know who is behind this? ”

Han Ying also thought about it, frowned and said:

"It can't be the Wu Clan's demon girl, right?"

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned:

Lord Han said this...... It seems a little wrong!

In the final analysis, although the Lord is benevolent and cowardly, he is not a scheming husband, and this Wu Zhao is pregnant now......

I'm afraid that she is staring at the concubine position more at the moment, rather than anything from the previous dynasty. ”

When all the adults heard this, they all felt quite reasonable, and they all said yes.

Laiji stood on one side, thought about it, and said:

"Lord Taiwei said this very much, not to mention that when she wanted to bewitch the lord to become a concubine a few days ago, her own brother had that attitude, but I am afraid that the most headache for her at the moment is how to take her own relatives for her own use......

So, she shouldn't have done these things at this time.

It's ......

Will it be ......?"

Laiji glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said carefully:

"Will it ......

Which one can be the same as the Captain...... What about the people of the Tang Humerus acting in secret? ”

Immediately, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said:

"Does it mean that the Lord is a British Gongli Ji?"

Lai Ji was silent, but Han Ying also said on the side:

What Lord Han said is quite reasonable......

In the present situation, if it were not for the British Duke acting behind the scenes, I am afraid that the Lord would not be able to act so far. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, and only after a long time did he sigh and whisper silently in his heart:

No wonder you want to hide it like this......

Originally...... It turns out that it is these courtiers who have been unable to believe you all along, claiming to be the most loyal to you......

That......

What about the old man?

Did the old man unknowingly be like them?

The eldest grandson Wuji asked himself, but he didn't know what to answer.

It's night.

In the city of Chang'an.

Li Jifu Shang.

Inside the bedroom.

As soon as Li Ji, who had not returned for several days, returned to the house, Mrs. Li immediately received the letter and greeted her happily.

After some greetings, Mrs. Li sat down on the side of the couch with Li Ji, who had finished changing his clothes, and asked carefully:

"My husband hasn't returned home these days, but what's the important thing in the court?"

Li Ji rubbed his hands, smiled and took fragrant milk from the silver plate served by the small servant on the side to wipe his hands (in the Tang Dynasty, people were very particular about the use of spices before going to bed, and there were more than once articles that recorded the use of various spices to assist sleep before going to bed. And not only in the upper class, but also in the homes of the middle and lower classes of ordinary people, appropriate spices were used as a way to help them sleep. At that time, there was a special street in Chang'an East City that sold spices, which was called March bees and butterflies that couldn't get in love, and they came back again or something. Here, Li Ji wipes his hands with frankincense, that is, before going to sleep, after washing his hands for the last time, he applies fragrant milk on his hands, in order to achieve the effect of calming the nerves and helping him fall asleep. ), while saying:

"There are some important things in the court, but they have nothing to do with being a husband.

As long as the husband assists the historian wholeheartedly, and records the border affairs of these years in the annals of history. ”

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"That's fine......

Although the lord believes in Aifujun, in the final analysis, the current trend in the court is still respected by the Guanlong family headed by the eldest grandson.

The concubine is really worried about her husband......"

Li Ji shook his head and said:

"If it's just the eldest grandson, then there is no need to worry too much.

After all, he is also the old minister of the same servant of the three dynasties, and he knows how to be a husband, which is not much less than the lord who knows how to be a husband.

Therefore, but with him, if anyone doubts his faithfulness, he will be fine.

It's that Han Yu came to help the two little offspring......"

Li Ji frowned and said unhappily:

"They seem to spend a lot of money on their husbands."

Mrs. Li nodded, and also understood:

"In the final analysis, it's not that I watched Yu Suiliang easily ascend to the position of the first assistant and become famous all over the world at the same age.

Now that Yu Suiliang has been demoted, the position of the first assistant is slightly empty, so naturally the two of them have to try their best to drill up. ”

Li Ji nodded and said lightly:

"It's a pity that their thoughts are in vain.

Although it is true that the Lord has degraded Sui Suiliang, this depreciation is only a matter of a few words. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes widened in surprise:

"Could it be that the Lord is going to reinstate the post of Yu Suiliang?!"

"Mostly......

And in the final analysis, this Lord Yu still has some talents, not to mention that he has always been loyal to Changsun Taiwei, but it can be said that in the Guanlong system, he is the only person who can teach Changsun Taiwei to put his mind and trust him completely......

Presumably, his return is only a matter of moments. ”

Mrs. Li disagreed:

"That's not what the husband said......

Could it be that the eldest grandson, Taiwei, believes in Lord Aiyu and is more than his own son? ”

Li Ji smiled, hugged his wife to the couch, sat down, and carefully covered the thin quilt for his wife, who had always had knee pain, and then said:

"Madame's words, I'm afraid it's really good......

Before, it was how the eldest grandson Wuji trusted his son, but now it may not be. ”

Mrs. Li understood, but said:

"But a few days ago, what rumors about Eldest Sun Chong?"

"Exactly.

Although this rumor is that there is a person who secretly arranges it in order for the Lord to have more advantages over the court......

However, the content of the rumors is not false.

So, madam, I'm afraid that from today onwards, the eldest grandson Wuji's mind to return to Xuan Suiliang is becoming more and more eager. ”

Mrs. Li was silent, only raised her eyes to look at her husband, and then smiled for a while:

"But Fujun doesn't seem to have any intention of telling him to return to the court so soon......"

"Exactly."

Li Ji looked at it and said in a deep voice:

"I finally went to the claws of the eldest grandson Wuji, the tiger of the Tang Dynasty, how could I call him back so easily?

He had to go back, and it would have to be when the Lord had already laid out all the best plans before he could be called back. ”

Mrs. Li didn't say much about a woman's family in the end, but just nodded silently in Li Ji's arms.

After a while, she asked:

"That husband, this time to punish the two kings of Teng Jiang......

Don't you think it's a little strange? ”

Although Li Ji knew her intentions, he still deliberately asked:

"What's so strange?"

"Everyone in this court knows that it is obviously in cahoots with King Jiang, but it is the king of Shu......

Why didn't the lord punish him, but he picked a king Teng who even the first emperor didn't bother to be too reasonable?

This......

It doesn't make sense......

Isn't the Lord also quite taboo against King Wu? ”

"It is precisely because the Lord is also a little taboo against King Wu that he wants to carry out this plan of killing chickens and monkeys, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

In the final analysis, it is the lord, if he encounters King Wu, who is feared by the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, but is really amazingly powerful, once he acts, he will have to take care of a few points. ”

Mrs. Li shook her head dissatisfiedly and said:

Hearing what her husband meant, the concubine suddenly felt that the Lord had become such a person who relied on the strong and bullied the weak......

That's not good. ”

Li Ji heard that his beloved wife said such rebellious words, and he was not angry, but just smiled lightly:

"Madame is so, but she blames the Lord for this......

It's not that he wants to do this, and it's not that he is really afraid of King Wu or anything-

He is the son of the Tang Dynasty in the end, and if he really makes a move, it will definitely be King Wu who suffers.

Speaking of which, the Lord is still reluctant to treat His Royal Highness King Wu, who has treated him very well since he was a child.

Just ......"

Li Ji's face sank and said worriedly:

"It's just that I'm afraid that if this happens, even if King Wu has no intention of rebelling, there will be many people who will force him to rebel."

At the same time.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

The lights had already been turned off, leaving only two small cloud lanterns in the dormitory for the night, Li Zhi carefully approached the sleeping Mei Niang's tent step by step, looked at it for a while, and then slowly lifted the gauze tent and sat on the couch.

He turned around and stopped De'an, who was about to come forward to change his clothes, and waved his hand to signal him not to be born, but he turned around, carefully took off his boots, and handed them to De'an, signaling that he must not make a sound and dispose of them.

Only then did he take off his dragon robe, carefully took off the golden crown and jade silk on his head, handed it to Ryan who was waiting on the other side, and then slowly, slowly, and very carefully snuggled up to Mei Niang's side.

Looking at Mei Niang's sleeping face, and reaching out to gently stroke the already bulging lower abdomen that was deliberately hunched over by Mei Niang, Li Zhi's heart was full of joy.

After watching and stroking for a long time, he beckoned to Dean Ryan as if he had thought of something, and motioned for them to come forward.

Then, in a voice low enough to be lower, ask:

"How?

Can Mei Niang be fragrant today? ”

Ryan nodded, and also said in a low voice:

"Lord rest assured, although Sister Wu said that she vomited a lot a few days ago, but since she took the medicine of the old immortal, she rarely vomited.

As for eating, that's not a problem. ”

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, thought about it again, and asked in a low voice:

"These days, in the other halls, especially in the second hall of Qianqiu Wanchun, haven't you done any tricks?"

Ryan was waiting for this sentence, so he immediately said:

"Turning over and over, there is nothing new, blindly poisoning and making it bad......

But fortunately, Sister Wu and the little prince are also blessed with a great fate, and they are nothing to do. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his face sank immediately:

"Really?

They still won't give up? ”

Ryan nodded silently, and Dean stood on one side, knowing that what his brother had said, although true, was a bit exaggerated......

But thinking that he is also for Mei Niang, for the sake of the Lord, it's just that-

One mistake is committed, and if I don't have much repentance, then all ten mistakes can be made.

Nodding, he once again made sure that Li Zhi did not suspect it, and then glanced at Ryan himself.

Ryan was quick to understand, and immediately understood what his brother meant, so he took another step forward and said:

"In the final analysis, in fact, this is because of the child in Sister Wu's womb......

Lord, when it comes to Sister Wu, when she was in the daytime, because she almost ate the poisonous pastry sent by the Qianqiu Palace, she gave birth to a sentence, but if their mother and son are demoted out of the palace now, they must be able to keep their mother and son safe for the time being. ”

Li Zhili is a change of color:

"How is that possible?!

Not to mention that Mei Niang is pregnant, it is very hard, I can't take care of her every day, how can I teach her to be alone?!

One time is enough! ”

Li Zhi hammered down his knee heavily.

Immediately, Ryan followed:

"But in the final analysis, it's not good for Sister Wu to sit in the Lizheng Hall every day......

Maybe one day they will be taught to succeed......

Naturally, we are all good people up and down the palace.

But even good people will always be easily used......"

Li Zhi was silent for a long time.
