Body 744 The Throne and Rights
Wu Mei looked at the two hundred and five princes, stared at the bruised eyes and walked out of the Penglai Palace, looked at Li Zhi who was still looking at the door in a daze, and sat down easily: "What, you won't be thinking again, right?" ”
The old couple have been together through thick and thin for so many years, and they have come all the way in the treacherous struggle of the court, and while supporting each other, Wu Mei is now just putting the sensitivity of the court situation that assisted Li Zhi on Li Hong's body.
But this does not mean that in her heart, she put her old man Li Zhi aside and ignored it, when she turned around and saw Li Zhi's rare solemn and solemn look, Wu Mei didn't have to guess to know that this time Your Majesty, I am afraid that he really moved the meaning of the Zen position.
Facing the door where Li Hong had lost his figure, Li Zhi, who had been stunned for a long time, slowly turned around, and the expression on his face returned to the same expression as a "retired old cadre".
In the past few years, he has given up the government, and since Li Hong, the prince of the East Palace, has been used to his current identity, but if it is really time to let him take the throne, he will still be a little reluctant in his heart.
Just like us ordinary people, when faced with something that still has room for thought, we often make a firm decision in our hearts, but when the matter is really in front of our eyes, when it is time to make a decision urgently, it is a different situation.
Today's Li Zhi, a few years ago, because of his health, the meaning of the Zen position has been lingering in his heart, two years as his health is getting better and better, his heart does not want to re-govern the will, and even happy to be the emperor now, watching the prince govern the country and maintain the current situation.
But when Li Hong gave him the Jin Feng Medal before the Great Dynasty Meeting, and excluded all the people he wanted to be promoted, Li Zhi was dissatisfied in his heart, but after calming down and thinking about it, he was relieved in his heart at the same time, and he was more or less reluctant to give up on his throne.
So in the past few years, in the midst of tangled contradictions, what Li Zhi hopes most is to maintain the situation in front of him.
But with Li Hongcheng having a child, a prince of the East Palace controls the court, and it can't be said anyway.
Although Li Hong once strongly suppressed some close ministers who wanted to advise Li Zhi for a period of time, the relationship between father and son was not estranged because of the Tang Dynasty.
But as time continues to advance, Li Hong is becoming more and more handy in governing the country, and Li Zhi is entangled in contradictions, and he also knows that the day of Zen is getting closer and closer.
Li Hong has never expressed his ambition for the throne openly and secretly, and has never even expressed dissatisfaction, but has suppressed the close ministers above the court and now belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, preventing them from entering the palace to advise Li Zhi.
Some of these things happened when Wu Mei and Li Zhi saw it, and some happened in the East Palace, but whether it was overt or secret, in the past few years, Li Hong has no ambition for the throne, at least it is a true fact that he did not persecute them.
"Let's say it's reluctant, there are some, Li Hongyue is not in a hurry to succeed to the unification, but now it makes me feel more unstable here. Queen, you say, is he Li Hong really so unconcerned about the throne? Li Zhi felt that he should have a good talk with the queen about the Zen throne.
"Of course you care about the throne, isn't Li Xian an example? It's just that he doesn't want to persecute you. Not to mention ....... Speaking of Li Xian, Wu Mei's eyes couldn't help but look at the west: "For Li Hong, no one is allowed to be the heir to the throne except him, what Li Zhe and Li Dan are doing now is not to prove to Li Hong that they have no interest in the throne?" ”
"And what does he mean by proving to me that he has no interest in the throne?" Li Zhi felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but at this time, he still had to ask sooner or later.
As expected, his own question was exchanged for the queen's eyes at the first time.
The queen's crisp voice came from his ears: "Look at your careful eyes, Li Hong has never deliberately wanted to prove to you that he has no interest in the throne and has no urgent intention of ascending the throne." He already has everything he wants, so, about this throne, for him...... It's dispensable, sooner or later. ”
"Rights?" Li Zhi asked.
"When he was ten years old, he gave him a book and delegated power to him, and the little man didn't show his enthusiasm and domination of power without any scruples? Wasn't Taiyi City built with the support of the Ministry of Households? Wasn't the reform of the household department earlier than the other five ministries? He doesn't want fame and prestige, whether it is overseas auspicious or immortal military exploits, or the towering merits of governing the country and society, isn't it all given to you? With such a prominent glory and prestige at the court, it stands to reason that he is absolutely qualified and has the strength to preside, but in the end? Didn't you fight with someone and highlight the importance of your emperor again? The emperor is still the crown prince, in Li Hong's eyes, it is the same, but if the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is not in the plan, it is not in his hands, and he wants to come...... Li Hong is the next emperor! Wu Mei said in the end, and the expression on her face also became serious.
"Then I'll have to be careful......
Wu Mei smiled again: "You think too much, now you, the emperor, that is, in the Daming Palace, in the East Palace, are really going to the court, and when it comes to the decision-making of governing the country, it is Li Hong who has the final say." So, Li Hong has already got what he wants, and no one can snatch it, the concubine has been with you for more than two years from my Tang Dynasty, Li Hong in order to centralize power and stabilize the position of the prince, didn't he also make a name for two years of violent prince? But after sorting out the court in the past two years, the prince's wisdom and mastery have long been known to the world. ”
"Is he still wise? The bastard behavior at the court, if you hadn't interceded, I wouldn't be done with him! Li Zhi patted his thigh and said with a dignified hum.
The retired old man, his temperament is becoming more and more wise, and his expression is quite a bit light, idle and wild, which may be attributed to the fact that last year in the palace with the people, the result of self-cultivation.
"Then the queen, do you think I want to be in Li Hong this year?" Li Zhi finally made up his mind that as long as the empress felt that the time was right, then he would immediately draft an edict and notify the royal family and other people from all walks of life.
Wu Mei looked at the honesty and wisdom in Li Zhi's eyes, as his body improved over the years, His Majesty's whole person seemed more and more energetic, and during this time, the big belly seemed to be a little smaller.
"Let's talk about it in a few days, do you think he has time now? After you take the throne, he has to stay in this palace every day, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Hong is now brewing his great career and giving him the succession to the throne, maybe he will still complain about you dragging him back. ”
"You mean ...... with the Great Eater?"
"Da Shi is no longer talking, this time the Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting, Li Hong chose to reconcile with Saleh for the first time, obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink, his attention, I am afraid that he has gone south to the southwest, Cui Zhifen, Chen Jingzhi, Pei Xingjian and other two water masters, this Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting, not even a piece of music to the palace, obviously there is something outside, and Li Hong's permission is obtained, otherwise, the Yuan Day Dynasty will be such a grand thing, do the courtiers dare not play the chapter?" Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi, just ignore the government all these years, and don't listen to it with both ears now, of course, except for the matter of Goguryeo and Silla, I occasionally pay attention to it, but it's not all because of the two beauties that people gave him back then!
But fortunately, today Li Hong rejected His Majesty's resolution without hesitation, which made Li Zhi very depressed, but there was no way to refute Li Hong, but it made Wu Mei's heart happy.
It seems that the crown prince Li Hong still knows what his wife likes and dislikes, and knows how to help his dragon mother.
Li Zhe and Li Dan had been waiting in the East Palace for a long time, and the scene that happened at the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting, until now, the two of them still think about it like a dream.
The imperial brother dared to ignore such an important occasion, and beat the prince and the prince of the Japanese kingdom who were eating a lot, and even pulled the prince of Otsu to apologize for himself.
"Do you think the royal brother will be scolded by his father and mother? Are you kneeling under his 'tree of life' in the cold wind and repenting? Li Dan smiled and took the gifts from Pei Wanying, An Xiaohe, Chen Qinghan, and Yan Lingbin, Bai Chun's gift was given a few days ago, so Li Dan didn't see Bai Chun here.
After asking Li Zhe, his hands were already full of gifts, so he had to hand them over to his entourage first, and then thanked and greeted Pei Wanying and the others one by one according to their grades.
The two didn't care about the presence of the crown princess, and still talked about their royal brother without scruples.
Li Zhe also thanked him in the same way, took the gift from Pei Wanying, and continued Li Dan to say in his mouth: "I think it should be, I haven't come back at this time, I'm afraid that my knees are numb and I can't get up, right?" Why don't you go to the palace and pick him up? ”
"I don't want to go, on the first day, I secretly drank two glasses of wine, and was reported to the queen mother by Li Lingyue, and then the queen mother ordered someone to take away all the wine in my house...... By the way, is it for you? Do you pay me? ”
"Why should I compensate you for what the Queen Mother has given me? Why are you becoming more and more like Li Lingyue now, are you really messing around? Li Zhe watched the little fat man Li Dan pounce on him, hurriedly avoided it, and said in a flash.
Pei Wanying and Yan Lingbin accompanied them in the main hall, while An Xiaohe and Chen Qinghan were pregnant, so after seeing the two princes, they returned to their palace in the East Palace accompanied by the palace maids.
Pei Wanying and Yan Lingbin, who were smiling, looked at Li Zhe, who was now strong and full of heroic spirit, and teased Li Dan with a serious and serious face.
