Chapter 505: Reward
Li Xian was the third son born to Gaozong's Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and ranked seventh among Gaozong's eight sons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang Gaozong Yonglong in the first year of the crown prince Li Xian was deposed by Wu Zetian, and Li Xian was appointed as the crown prince. Gaozong died of illness, Li Xian ascended the throne, was Zhongzong, and respected Wu Zetian as the empress dowager.
Less than a month after Li Xian's accession to the throne, he said an angry word to Prime Minister Pei Yan because he wanted to confer an official title to his father-in-law, and as a result, he was immediately deposed by Wu Zetian, demoted to the king of Luling, imprisoned in another place, and then moved to Junzhou, and soon moved to Fangling. During their time in Fangling, Wu Zetian sent envoys to visit him many times, and it seemed that the outcome had been decided: waiting for death.
It is not unreasonable for Li Xian to be so pessimistic.
Wu Zetian's eldest son Li Hong rushed into her, and as a result, he was "violent" that night, and the second son Li Xian was also forced to commit suicide in Bazhou, the place of exile, four years after being deposed.
However, Li Xian did not "go violent", but was relocated to Junzhou and began his eighteen-year exile career.
The most terrible thing in the world is not death, but living in the shadow of death, waiting for death every day, but death does not come immediately, but it may come at any time, this kind of fear and misery is by no means imaginable by ordinary people.
Later, Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi and other ministers joined forces with the generals of the Yulin Army to support Li Xian to launch a palace coup, kill Erzhang, and force Wu Zetian to pass on the throne, and Li Xian was enthroned as emperor again.
Li Xian endured for 18 years, and during her exile career, Empress Wei showed extraordinary endurance in the face of adversity and became Li Xian's spiritual pillar. It is the true affection of the husband and wife in distress that made Li Xian endure eighteen years of waiting for death, and also made his dependence and gratitude on his wife beyond the norm. However, now Li Xian finds that his wife has changed, and it seems that he doesn't even know him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Empress Wei's shout woke Li Xian up from his memories, and he sighed: It seems that he is really old, and he always likes to think of the past.
"Beloved wife, maybe you think that Zhang Baoer is just telling me stories to make me happy, but have you thought about it, I just ask for such a thing, and many people can't do it. Although he is illiterate, he can understand my heart, and it is not easy to do this. ”
Li Xian's tone was heavy, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Where could Empress Wei understand Li Xian's mood at the moment, so she had to be silent.
Who knows, at this time, Li Bao'er's voice sounded out inopportunely: "Father, he is a country boy, what do you know?" I see, he's just grandstanding! ”
"What kind of bastard are you talking about?" Li Xian was furious when he heard this.
Li Bao'er had never seen her father say such heavy things to herself, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Bao'er's crying appearance made Li Xian's heart soften a little, and he slowed down his tone and said, "Bao'er, do you know? On the way of our family to belittle Fangzhou, your aunt gave birth to you. Because I was on the way, I didn't have time to prepare, so I had to take off my clothes to wrap you and keep you warm, because your aunt and I named you Bao'er. You have been suffering with me all your life, and for more than ten years, you have not even worn a decent pair of shoes. In winter, I went barefoot to the mountains to collect firewood, and my little feet were red and rotten from the cold. A pair of small hands covered with chilblains, and the fingers are swollen like carrots, which is really distressing. You have suffered with me and your aunt for 14 years, out of guilt, I love you very much, I am afraid of falling in my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth, even if you want stars, I can't wait for people to climb up to the sky and pick one for her. But Zhang Baoer has suffered a lot more than you, no matter what, you still have parents who love you, but he has been an orphan since he was a child, why can't you be more tolerant of him? ”
When Li Bao'er heard her father say this, she was no longer angry.
Li Xian pondered for a moment, and said to Empress Wei: "I have already issued an order to give Zhang Bao'er a mansion in Guanglufang, and give him a waist card, so that he can enter the palace at any time to see me." ”
Listening to Li Xian's words, Empress Wei had a strange expression on her face.
Guanglufang is on the edge of the imperial city, and after crossing the street and entering the Suzaku Gate, you will arrive at the imperial city.
Li Xian actually rewarded Zhang Baoer with a mansion here, which shows his kindness to him.
Not only that, but he also gave Zhang Baoer a waist card, so that he could enter the palace at any time, for foreign ministers, this is unprecedented, even the prime minister of the dynasty cannot enter the palace at will, let alone Zhang Baoer.
Empress Wei really couldn't understand that Li Xianwei would fall in love with Zhang Baoer like this.
Li Bao'er was used to being favored by Li Xian, but at this time she had a different thought: In the past, you didn't care about my bad business, but now you are still competing for favor with your father, no matter what, I have to find a chance to give you some looks.
This night, Zhang Baoer slept very soundly. After getting up and washing, Zhang Baoer hurried to the guest room next door to find Jiang Xiaotong, and he wanted to discuss how to settle down.
Knocking on Jiang Xiaotong's door, Zhang Baoer saw Jiang Xiaotong talking to the two women, and the shadow stood aside and looked at them boredly.
When the two women got up, Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened, and he was stunned and saluted the two: "Zhang Bao'er has seen two county lords!" ”
That's right, these two people are Li Zhiying, the county lord of Yuzhen, and Li Nunu, the county lord of Jincheng.
I haven't seen her for two years, Li Nunu is still reserved and steady, but Li Zhiying has changed a lot, and she no longer has the youth of the girl she used to be, but is radiant and makes people a little dizzy.
Li Zhiying looked at Jiang Xiaotong with disgust and said, "Sister Xiaotong, look at Bao'er, I haven't seen each other for two years, and I have been like this, tell me about him!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong smiled and said to Zhang Bao'er: "Bao'er, what you used to call them is what you call them now!" ”
"The three of you have become a gang!" Zhang Bao'er stared at Jiang Xiaotong strangely.
"Of course, the three of us are good sisters!" Li Zhiying said with a puff of head.
Zhang Bao'er smiled dumbly and said: "It is said that three women have one play, and the three of you can just make up a play!" ”
Shadow said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, am I not a woman?" ”
Zhang Bao'er dared to provoke Ying'er, and hurriedly laughed: "Of course you are a woman, if you are not a woman, there will be no women in this world!" ”
"That's pretty much it!" Ying Er also raised her head and glanced at Li Zhiying defiantly.
"Alright, let's go have breakfast first!" Zhang Baoer said to Jiang Xiaotong: "I still have something to discuss with you!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong nodded, and said to Li Zhiying and Li Nunu: "Two sisters, come with us!" ”
Li Nunu was about to refuse, but Li Zhiying preemptively said: "Okay, okay, it just so happens that we haven't had breakfast either!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong instructed Ying'er: "Go and call Suanna too, let's go have breakfast together!" ”
