Chapter Forty-Three: Princess Anle

Because he was thinking about Li Lingyue, who was pregnant, Di Feng threw off the guard of honor and took hundreds of guards to go first, and before he entered Chang'an, Di Feng saw that countless people were digging canals outside the southwest of Chang'an City.

Di Feng was curious, why did he still have to build a lot of construction now that the treasury was empty? I asked someone to inquire, and this inquiry found out that this was Princess Anle building Dingkun Pond.

Chang'an originally had Kunming Pond, which was dug by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the southwest suburbs of Chang'an for three years, in order to practice water warfare. Forty miles around the pond, covering an area of 332 hectares, it is now Li Tang's royal garden and has become a place for boating and playing.

Princess Anle liked the scenery of Kunming Pond and asked Zhongzong for it, so Zhongzong gave her Kunming Pool, but Zhongzong did not agree, and Princess Anle was angry and wanted to build a Dingkun Pond that surpassed Kunming Pond.

Dingkun Pond can be seen from the name of the meaning of covering Kunming Pond, in order to build a large number of civil works, Princess Anle seized the people's land and houses, forced labor, and made Chang'an near complaint.

Looking at the old man in front of him, he was afraid that he was over sixty years old, his face was furrowed, his skin was tanned, and the combination of gray hair and beard was extremely eye-catching, Di Feng couldn't help but ask: "You still come to be a porter at such an age, do you lack so much money to live in the family?" ”

The old man glanced at Di Feng, and saw that Di Feng was followed by soldiers who guessed that Di Feng was either rich or expensive, so he replied with some mockery: "How can you officials ever care about the suffering of the small people, not to mention that you can't eat enough now, even if you are full, the princess still has the reason why the small people dare to obey?" If you have a good heart, go and look at the bottom of the ditch and see how many bones are left there. The old man couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "Alas! O iniquity! There are more people who die of hunger in the ditch than the homeless people who starve to death in the disaster year, is this still a peaceful and prosperous era? ”

Di Feng woke up when he heard this, "I've been a carefree prince for a long time, I have long forgotten the suffering of the people and become a person in power who is detached from reality, and I am afraid that if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the stupid and stubborn Emperor Jin Hui will also ask, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" "What! In the past, I often complained that those "experts and scholars" were out of reality, but now that I have reached this position, I have gradually begun to detach myself from reality. These people are forcibly recruited at first glance, and the funny thing is that they still ask about their family life! ”

Just thinking about it, I saw a few powerful slaves with sticks in the distance hurrying over, and scolded the old man, "You old immortal, dare to be lazy and chat here, don't you have a mouthful of money?" "As he spoke, he raised his stick to strike.

Di Feng was angry when he saw it, he didn't want to get involved in Princess Anle's affairs, these things were handled by Li Lingyue, but this was beating people in front of him, Di Feng couldn't sit idly by. He said lightly to the left and right: "Don't kill it, if you are disabled, throw it at the door of Princess Anle's mansion." ”

When the soldiers on the left and right heard this, they surrounded them, and the slaves saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted "We are the ...... of peace and happiness", but before the words were finished, they were surrounded by Di Feng's own soldiers and beat their fists and feet, and their legs were broken and broken, and they could only lie on the ground and howl.

The old man saw it and hurriedly said: "This official, you have caused a big disaster, this is Princess Anle's house slave, even the imperial history yamen can't afford to offend ......" The old man Di Feng was anxious, thought for a while and said, "You hurry up and go to Dijiazhuang to hide, only the King of Jinyang and the eldest princess of Taiping have not dared to provoke." ”

Di Feng didn't care when he heard this, but he secretly wondered in his heart, "When will Li Lingyue be promoted to the eldest princess again?" ”

When the soldiers came back and told Di Feng that the slaves had been left in front of Princess Anle, he took people into the city, and there were still people in the city who were expanding the mansion, and when he inquired, it was a princess, this was the eldest princess Changning Princess born to Empress Wei, Princess Changning was clearly competing for favor with Princess Anle, and the two were competing to create pomp and circumstance.

Di Feng couldn't take care of so many idle things, and he lost confidence in Li Xian, so he entered the palace and handed over the seal letter and didn't go to see Li Xian, so he hurried out of the city and returned to his Di Jiazhuang.

There are already a lot of Zhuang households in Dijiazhuang Zhuangkou waiting for their own prince to return triumphantly, now Di Jiazhuang is the richest Zhuangzi in Gyeonggi, because Di Feng and Li Lingyue live here, corrupt officials and evil officials do not dare to harass, rich and peaceful life makes Zhuang Hu are all grateful to Di Feng, and there are family members of Di Feng's personal soldiers in the crowd to greet him, Di Feng let the soldiers disperse, and he set up a horse to say hello to the Zhuang Hu and wanted to run to his own house.

Li Lingyue's belly was already pregnant, and she stood at the door of the mansion with her stomach upright, like a proud peacock, with an expression on her face that was both anxious and proud. When she saw Di Feng rushing over, Li Lingyue broke free of the maid who was supporting her and ran towards Di Feng.

Di Feng dismounted and blamed: "You dare to run so fast with a good stomach, what if you hit yourself?" ”

"I didn't miss you yet, why did Lang Jun delay so long to come back this time?" Li Lingyue's eyes were slightly red as she spoke, she carefully glanced behind Di Feng again, and when she saw that there was no ugly child, she threw herself into Di Feng's arms and asked, "Sister Qiu'er, why didn't you come back with you?" ”

"Chou'er will do some personal business in the back, and then he will go to the ......," Di Feng said, helping Li Lingyue and walking home to talk. ”

After entering the Di Mansion, Li Lingyue and Di Feng complained about the pain of lovesickness, and Di Feng asked, "Why is Chang'an so chaotic recently?" Princess Anle and Princess Changning made the city full of wind and rain and no one took care of it? ”

Li Lingyue sneered: "What's more, my sister-in-law Wei Shi and her precious daughters joined forces with Wu Sansi to control the government, and they have already made the court into a miasma, the crown prince Li Chongjun was killed by these people, my seventh brother ignored it, which fueled the arrogance of these people, and that princess Anle has long been clamoring to make herself the crown princess!" ”

"Why don't you care?" Di Feng was puzzled.

"Didn't you say that?" If you want to make them perish, you must first make them crazy" Let them toss away! When our children are born, I'll have my hands free to clean up the mess. Li Lingyue said lightly.

Seeing that Li Lingyue was full of confidence, Di Feng was reluctant to participate more, so he talked to Li Lingyue about some private conversations and asked about Wu Zetian's recent situation.

Wu Zetian has already secretly gone to Anxi, and now he is in Anxi, accompanied by Thirteen Niang every day, either to the market to see exotic specialties, or to enjoy the scenery and amusement everywhere, exotic songs and dances, food, coupled with the hospitable folk customs so that Wu Zetian has long forgotten his identity, perhaps because of his relaxed mood, Wu Zetian not only does not look old but is becoming more and more radiant and younger, and the popularity of this charitable beautiful woman in Qiuzi and Xizhou City is very good, and no one can imagine that this woman is a generation of empresses.

Wu Zetian is very satisfied with this kind of life, comfortable and hedonistic, healthy and healthy, this is more effective than a panacea, and imperial power is nothing compared to this kind of life.

It's just that the only thing that worries her is Li Lingyue, she has heard about the situation in Chang'an, she is worried that Li Lingyue will not be able to control the situation, and she is even more afraid that Li Lingyue will be killed by Empress Wei, but when she thought that Di Feng was still in Chang'an, she was relieved again.

Di Feng's ability, Wu Zetian is now completely convinced, and now she found out that Di Feng didn't say anything, only looked at Anxi's wealth and military strength If Di Feng wants this, Li Tang Jiangshan is just a gesture.
