Chapter 16: The Storm in the Night (1)

The summer flowers of Shangyang Palace are also brilliant.

A large flock of finches flew around in the sky above Shangyang Palace. It has not been built for a long time, but it is already full of greenery and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Li Wei suddenly thought of Wei Hongji. The construction of such a palace was not a big financial problem for the Tang Dynasty, but Guan Jian only spent more than 200,000 chun's money, which is rare and valuable. Not only thought of Wei Hongji, but also thought of Hekun, Qianlong used Hekun, the finances have been barely maintained, Jiaqing broke Hekun, and a few years later, the finances of the Qing Dynasty fell to the ground. There was a burst of enlightenment in my heart.

So far, everyone thinks highly of Li Wei. Including Wu Zetian.

But as a traverser, the profession is contaminated with some historical knowledge, and I remember some history more or less, this is the vision! With Li Wei entering the political arena and having such a mother, he was forced to think about his own status and truly integrate and absorb this vision step by step. There are a lot of things that I don't understand, but what I understand immediately becomes almost unmatched! And his mentality, he doesn't position himself highly, and maintains a humble mentality, so he grows up quickly and can almost be seen with the naked eye.

Wu Zetian is jealous of his son, PS, which is exactly this.

After walking a few dozen steps, Wu Zetian asked, "Hong'er, what do you think of your cousin?" ”

"The queen mother, as long as they don't go too deep into the political power and participate in the affairs of the clan's children, they are the relatives of the queen mother's mother's family, and they are also the closest relatives of the sons, if the great Tang Dynasty has fed many idlers, why can't the sons and daughters ensure their glory and wealth?"

This sentence is very good, but Li Wei has sold an important pass, and the word "in-depth" is quite meaningful.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Since the incident of inheriting the heir, you have become more and more unfamiliar with this palace. ”

"Erchen has always had a dream of having no dispute with his father, queen and mother, and working together to create a beautiful country full of flowers." It's not that I don't want to be close to you, it's that your old man doesn't know how to get close to you and doesn't say it.

Wu Zetian smiled again and said, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Li Wei stretched out his hand, Wu Zetian pulled it up, and said, "There are a lot of cocoons on my hands." ”

"Sometimes I practice drawing the bow and I have some calluses on my hands, but it doesn't matter."

"This time, how long will it take to inspect Henan Province?"

"Not necessarily, the patrol is a point, Erchen has other intentions, it may be more than a month, it may be more than two months."

"Be careful on the road, you are the emperor, although you are thrifty, you must pay attention to safety."

It won't be much of a problem, although it is frugal, this time he also brought four hundred guards with him and in the hinterland of the country, with four hundred armor soldiers, it is enough to protect Li Wei's safety. Li Wei is slightly more suspicious, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites will no longer reduce the number of personal guards.

But compared with the travel of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the scale of thousands of people, or even tens of thousands, is no longer too small

"Thank you for your concern, mother, it just so happens that the sons have something to ask for, can you entrust You'er, Jin'er, and Xi'er to the care of the queen mother for a few months."

"What if this palace doesn't agree?"

"The son had no choice but to leave two wives and concubines."

"Why did you take all your concubines with you?"

"They are also relatives of their sons...... The entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, and it is usually confined to the etiquette system, and it is not easy to go out. So Erchen wanted to make an exception. Speaking of the queen mother, the joy of family is also a joy of life. ”

"This palace takes care of your son and daughter, and in turn, is it your way of filial piety?"

"Doesn't the queen mother want her children and grandchildren to be in groups and enjoy themselves under the queen's knees?"

Wu Zetian avoided this topic and said: "But there is also a distinction between respect and humility in the East Palace, you go out on patrol and bring a few good examples, the crown princess and two or three good women, that wild words Mingyue, Qiu Yao, and Qiu Hao, but there is something wrong with it." ”

"The queen mother, heroes don't ask where they come from, their background is thin, but the sons marry wives, not their family background."

Wu Zetian still wanted to refute, but suddenly held back, although his son's scheming is getting deeper and deeper, but his heart has not been very vicious, she does not praise or dismiss this, and may continue to maintain this kind of heart, which does not seem to be a bad thing for herself, and said: "This palace is approved."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Turned around a red willow bush and came to Li Zhi's bedroom, Li Wei saw it, Li Zhi just hummed softly, which was an answer. Although he is the emperor who holds great power, Li Zhi is still not very happy in his heart.

Looking at his father, Li Wei said again: "Queen Mother, either the sons and daughters will issue an edict to recruit good doctors from all over the world and treat their father." ”

"You don't have to worry about Lian's disease."

“”

What to do? He was always a father.

Even at dinner, Li Wei kept picking up vegetables for Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

This meal was a little awkward, but Li Wei deliberately served sincerity, not too bad, for the sake of power, intrigued, but as a son, compared to Li Xian's ghost, Li Xian has no liver and no lungs, Li Xulun is young, Li Wei is still doing well.

After dinner, Li Wei returned to the East Palace.

Li Shoucheng asked, "Queen Mother, why don't you ask?" ”

"Ask what?"

"That's what Your Majesty said."

"Why ask? Since it is ten times more important than Wuju and the military superintendent, the plan is very big, if there is no help from this palace, can he succeed? You don't have to ask, when it's time, Hong'er will only say it. ……

"The Queen Mother is wise."

"I'm also wise."

"He was born to the Queen Mother......"

"Li Shoucheng, this is also ......" Wu Zetian finished speaking, a little crying and laughing.

When I arrived at the East Palace, there were not only a few concubines, but also a few people.

The third and fourth children and Li Lingyue are all in the East Palace.

Li Wei is now the emperor, and Li Xian and Li Xulun are a little restrained. walked over, took their hands, and said, "Third brother, fourth brother, I am the emperor, but for you, my first identity is still your eldest brother, and the second is the emperor." ”

"Under the shoes, this is my good big brother."

It's very nondescript, but this third child really respects himself. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit." ”

He sat down and said, "Why are you all here?" ”

"We want to travel with you."

"Hehe, you're messing around. This time, I went out on patrol to observe the people's suffering, and did not go out on a safari. ”

"Big brother...... Li Lingyue's voice dragged on for a long time, and she said with a smile.

"Little sister, you are not too young, not a few years ago, you should also pay attention to etiquette, don't let outsiders despise my family has L teaching."

"Big brother......" Li Lingyue ran over and pulled Li Wei's mustache.

Pei Yuhe couldn't help but shake her head, the little princess has a very bad habit, she used to pull the emperor's beard, and now she wants to pull her husband's beard, but her husband is not angry, but he is happy, alas, the little princess is spoiled by the old and the young.

"Don't make a fuss...... If you want to travel, go and ask your father and queen mother, if they are gracious, I will take you with me. ”

"This is what you said, third brother, fourth brother, let's go to Shangyang Palace."

pulled Li Xian and Li Xulun out of the East Palace.

Yang Min said: "Your Majesty, there will be officials to advise." ”

"Hit them, this line, the areas they go to are very poor, the third brother doesn't think much, and the little sister is uh......" After hearing the words, several women rolled their eyes, thinking that they were so favored, it was not you and the emperor who harmed them.

He also said, "But their hearts are not evil, let them take a look, and it is good." ”

As he was talking, the eunuch outside came in to report that Princess Frank had asked to see her.

"Let her in."

brought Xiangdai in, and Li Wei's eyes lit up.

In the past, Xiang Dai believed in Catholicism, coupled with the living environment, lived a frugal life, and only wore ordinary linen long skirts, and the long skirts were very wide. But today, he was wearing a white thin silk skirt with a hollow lotus pattern, and inside was a thin white cloth...... Underneath is a lake green maxi dress.

The standard Tang Dynasty palace dress, but because of the majesty on the chest, this tight-fitting obscene dress was tied to the chest, and a light yellow belt strangled Xiaoman's waist, making a pair of twin peaks on the chest ready to come out.

"Three points of appearance, seven points of pretending to be ......" Li Wei couldn't help but say.

But as soon as the words ended, Xiang Dai fell down and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, please save me." ”

"You get up and speak, what's going on?"

"An official of your Tang Dynasty broke into the Sifang Pavilion with a large group of people and said a lot of blasphemous things about me. The envoys accompanying us, as well as several bishops of the Catholic Church, rebuked them, but they intimidated them. Then he threatened me to be a concubine in his house one day. ”

"Whose ...... is this?" Li Wei frowned.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were so proud that even the Byzantine envoys begged to see them, but they looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts. But the work still has to be done, and most of these envoys came to the Tang Dynasty for the first time, no matter whether they looked down on it or not, they at least gave superficial respect.

Xiang Dai sobbed and said, "He said he was the Duke of Zhou......"

"Wu Chenghe?"

"I don't know his name, but they all have the surname Wu. Your Majesty save me. ”

As a sincere Catholic, the concept of marriage is monogamy, even if she marries Li Wei, in her heart she thinks that she has been wronged, and it should be more accurate to blasphemy. Besides, a much older and not very good-looking Wu Chenghei.

Li Wei's brows furrowed.

This matter depends on how you look at it, and as Wu Chenghe, he didn't think of the seriousness. If the Tang Dynasty only cares about the immediate situation or the surrounding environment, it doesn't matter if it is the Frankish Kingdom, or the Byzantine Kingdom, or Catholicism.

But Li Wei is laying out an overall situation, and this princess will be an important chess piece.

Forcibly accepting this princess, the Western countries will inevitably have a bad impression of the Tang Dynasty. Not only some Western countries, but also the Catholic Holy See will not be happy.

looked at the pear blossoms with rain and suddenly asked, "Why are you dressed like this today?" ”

Qiu Hui whispered, "Your Majesty, why do you have the heart to ask this?" ”

"Qiujak, you don't understand, this is very important......"

"Why?"

"You've seen her before, and you don't understand some of the teachings of Catholicism, but I know some. Why do you wear this gaudy outfit? ”

"What does it matter...... both voices were very low, and Chandel leaned in front of him to hear it very clearly. However, Qiu Hui looked at this pretty princess suspiciously, and after seeing her listen to Li Wei's question, she couldn't speak, just wept, opened her mouth, and wanted to stop. (To be continued.)
