Chapter 5: On Rights in the Temple of Mercy and Grace and Giving Robes in the Lizheng Hall (I)
The time came to July of the first year of Xianqing, and at this time, Wu's Mei Niang was in this Lizheng Palace, accompanied by a group of palace maids, stroking her six-month-old belly. Coupled with Princess Anding, who died early, this is already the fourth child he conceived for Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.
"Oops, this kid is kicking me again," Wu Meiniang said to the maids while stroking her stomach.
In this sentence, the eight maids who accompanied him also smiled slightly. I saw one of the cheerful maids, handing over a few chilled grapes that had been peeled and seeded, and replied, "Niangniang, I think this time I am sure to be another dragon."
"Alas, this palace has already given birth to two dragon heirs for His Majesty, and I still really want a princess at this moment" In the words, I couldn't help but have some thoughts about Princess Anding.
Although she misses it a little, even now, it has been nearly a year since Wu Meiniang was established as the queen, and she has lived a very comfortable life in the past year. It's not just because I'm pregnant with Rokko again at this time and pregnant with the dragon species, but also because of some things that have happened in the past year.
Why is it said that she is living a very comfortable life, it is precisely because not long after she sat on the throne of this queen, she sent a killer to get rid of this queen and Xiao Shufei, as if there was no opponent in this harem. Since there is no opponent, there will not be too much deception, so it is much more comfortable.
In addition, in the first month of the first year of Xianqing, at the suggestion of Prime Minister Xu Jingzong, in view of the fact that the queen has been abolished and the Empress Wu already has an heir, it is recommended to change the son of the Empress Wu to the crown prince. And this proposal is not only deeply in line with Wu Meiniang's intentions, but also in line with Gaozong Li Zhi's heart. So not long after, he passed down the edict: abolish the crown prince Li Zhong as the king of Liang, and replace the son of Empress Wu with Li Hong, the son of the crown prince. At this time, Li Hong was only four years old.
I still remember that on the night when Li Hong was canonized as the crown prince, Gaozong Li Zhi once again visited her Lizheng Palace, this night, the two of them once again felt like first love, not only talked a lot, but also talked a lot, in the deep friendship, once again reconciled this love of fish and water, so there is now this child in the belly.
With a "wow" sound, they couldn't help but turn their heads. But look at a four-year-old boy who is holding a rattle next to the cradle and beating this one-year-old child. And this four-year-old boy is Li Hong, and the child who is less than a year old in the cradle is the second dragon species she gave birth to Li Zhi in the sixth year of Yonghui, named Li Xian.
"Hong'er, come here, you're bullying your brother again, aren't you? This rattle made for you by the queen mother is for you to play, not for you to beat your younger brother? Between the words, this Wu Meiniang had already walked to the side of the cradle, and while coaxing Li Xian, who was crying, she pretended to slap Li Hong.
Li Hong, who felt greatly wronged, suddenly cried under her gentle pat. He cried loudly, and immediately drove Li Xian, who had been pacified, to cry again. Watching this scene, these palace maids and attendants also hurriedly came over, coaxing this one and comforting that one at the same time. And for this scene, it is not the first time that Wu Meiniang has encountered it, and she felt her head big again in an instant.
At this time, I only heard an old eunuch casually sing: "Your Majesty has arrived"
Hearing this sentence, the two children who were crying immediately stopped crying. As the crying stopped, but seeing this Li Zhi pacing, he arrived in this Lizheng Palace, and without waiting for everyone to salute, he said: "What's the matter, who bullied my two children again?" ”
After Wu Meiniang took all the attendants to salute. While sorting out a leaf stuck to Li Zhi's dragon robe, he replied with a smile: "Who dares to bully His Majesty's two precious sons, it's not that Hong'er is bullying Xian'er again."
Between the words, Li Zhi walked to the side of the cradle and teased Li Xian, who was lying inside, and immediately made the child laugh. By the way, he hugged Li Hong again: "You stinky boy, are you bullying your brother again?" ”
watched his father hug him, and his words also provoked Li Hongzhuan to fall into his father's arms and laugh mischievously. So the entire Lizheng Hall was filled with this joyful and peaceful atmosphere......
Although there is a lot of harmony in this Daxing Palace, there is a person in the Dacien Temple outside the palace who has a lot of worries. This person is Wang Xuance, why do you say that?
Although since Gaozong Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he has also trusted him, and still serves as the liaison between Master Xuanzang and him, and is stationed in this Great Mercy Temple as a doctor of Chaosan and Zuo Xiaowei Changshi. However, in the face of the abolition of Wang Liwu that began last year, he gradually saw clearly the true face of this power struggle.
I saw that in Master Xuanzang's meditation hall, the two of them chatted and tasted the newly presented tea, which was also a lot more comfortable.
Master Xuanzang's meditation hall is not too big, and it is probably only two zhang square. Although it is small, the furnishings inside are not only elegant, but also have a calm charm.
But see this meditation hall sitting in the north facing south, in the middle of the north gable placed a mahogany table, a gilded statue of the Buddha is placed on top of the table, and in front of this Buddha statue is placed incense case futon and other worship supplies.
Along the gable wall, along the wall are the bookshelves of this nanmu, which are filled with various Buddhist classics and Chinese classics. In the middle of the meditation hall is a large square table, in the center of which is an elegant set of tea drinking utensils. This set of tea drinking utensils looks like it came from the hands of court craftsmen, and the teapot is not only a plain pattern pottery teapot, but also a simple and elegant tea cup.
As the sandalwood in the incense burner rose, but seeing this, Wang Xuance took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and sighed again, then looked at Master Xuanzang with a calm expression and said: "Master, Xuan Ce knows that you have never talked about state affairs, but for more than a year, one party in this court has vowed not to give up if it has not achieved its goal, and one party has disturbed it for the sake of interests. To this day, these ministers are still in Tanzhou, a bitter cold place, and I know these places, which are really too bitter. Alas...... It's a real headache. ”
"Now, you finally understand your master's hardship."
"Yes, back then, the master also saw through this officialdom dispute, so he decided to retreat to the mountains and forests, and later thanked His Majesty for his kindness, so he pushed me out again."
"This is fate, if it weren't for your master to push you out, you wouldn't have been able to achieve such a grand feat and show the prestige of my Datang to these five parts of India, we would not be able to get together again, and I would not be able to understand the national conditions of our Datang at that time in a foreign land."
