Chapter Forty-Nine: A Dialogue between Monarchs and Ministers
Zhang Xingcheng came to the Chenglu Palace, Li Xiaojiu was already waiting there, Zhang Xingcheng bent down and wanted to kneel, Li Xiaojiu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, Zhang Xingcheng straightened up and sat on a drum-shaped sandalwood sash covered with mink next to him.

Li Xiaojiu sat on the dragon couch, because he cried too much in the main hall, his eyes were still red, which of the dragon robes that he wiped full of snot had been washed by the palace maids, and at this time he was replaced with a wide green silk robe, and his daily life was suddenly a lot easier.
Li Xiaojiu took a sip of the teacup, it may be that the tea was boiled for a short time, and all the tea foam floated on the tea surface, Li Xiaojiu drank it in his mouth, and spit a few sips towards a lotus-shaped golden bowl placed at the foot of the dragon case.
Wei Shun'an hurriedly asked the palace maid to replace the tea in the cup and replace it with another cup.
Li Xiaojiu looked at Zhang Xingcheng and asked in a soothing tone:
"Zhang Shizhong, as a close minister of mine, you don't need to hide it, please talk to me about your views on the earthquake in Jinju and Yongcheng County."
Zhang Xingcheng's eyes flashed, he blinked, glanced at Li Xiaojiu sitting on the dragon couch and said:
"Your Majesty, the ancients, the sky is the yang, the symbol of the monarch, the earth is the yin, the symbol of the courtiers, the monarch should run like a celestial body, the courtiers should be as static as the earth, and now it should be stationary but moves, Jinju was originally the fief of His Majesty, it is said that there should be no change for no reason, I am afraid that there is a dictatorship of ministers in the court, vainly trying to suppress the monarchy, and plotting against him! I also ask Your Majesty to ponder carefully and take measures as soon as possible to prevent the slightest deterioration. ”
Zhang Xingcheng raised his head and peeked at Li Xiaojiu at this time to see how he reacted.
Li Xiaojiu's face changed slightly, and soon he was the same.
Glancing at Zhang Xingcheng, he continuously and gently tapped the dragon case with his fingers, and asked for a long time:
"According to what Aiqing said, who wants to monopolize the government and suppress me?"
Zhang Xingcheng thought to himself: You just pretend to be confused, in the middle of the court, apart from your own uncle, who else has so much power? But he said:
"Since this person is in this disobedient heart, how can he let others know that the ransom minister is incompetent, and the minister does not know, and please judge for yourself."
A ray of sunlight shone on Zhang Xingcheng's face through the banana leaves outside the window, and Li Xiaojiu saw Zhang Xingcheng's face flickering brightly and darkly.
After being speechless for a long time, Li Xiaojiu's four fingers took turns to knock on the dragon case, Zhang Xingcheng heard a rhythmic sound coming from the dragon case, and his heart jumped with the rhythmic sound.
Now he is becoming more and more unable to figure out the original prince who he has served for many years, and now the emperor.
When he first became the crown prince Zhan Shi, like many people, he thought that the prince Li Zhi was as simple as a transparent crystal at a glance, and he was a weak and docile little white rabbit under Taizong's knees who would never grow up.
Not only in his own eyes, but also in the eyes of almost all ministers, Li Zhi's benevolence and filial piety have become a fixed trend.
Even some ministers thought that he was a bit of a wretch, a flat man with no flesh and blood, a weak man with no ability and no opinions.
Although when he was not established as the crown prince, the ministers were their own masters, and most of them voted under the disciples of the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, no one thought of him. But when Li Shimin made him the crown prince, the ministers also wholeheartedly supported him, believing that a weak and benevolent prince was better than a cruel and tyrannical, fatherless and motherless prince as the emperor.
But since Li Xiaojiu became the emperor, the ministers found that he seemed to be slowly changing.
In the past, Li Zhi's eyes were always sparkling with a clean and clear light, but now, Li Xiaojiu's face was always cloudy.
It used to be full of smiles when I saw everyone, but now although I often wear a smile on my face, there is always a chill behind the smile, and I recognize that people are frightened.
Li Xiaojiu stared at Zhang Xingcheng, who was sitting on the sash for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand to him, Zhang Xingcheng hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Li Xiaojiu.
Walking on the road, Zhang Xingcheng was still thinking: Eldest grandson Wuji, you old thing, don't be too complacent, the so-called "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi", feng shui takes turns, maybe the emperor has seen you unpleasantly, although the old man didn't say it this time, I don't believe it, the emperor can't hear that it's you, this is enough for you to drink a pot!
After Zhang Xingcheng left, Li Xiaojiu fell into deep thought, since he was made the crown prince, he has been suppressing and controlling his emotions and desires all the time, just afraid of leaving some handle for other princes and fathers.
It really can't be controlled, and it is also released through some other more hidden methods and channels.
I also got up in the middle of the night and used my sword to cut frantically at a locust tree in the East Palace, only to which tree was cut down and scarred, I threw down my sword, hugged which tree, burst into tears, and felt that my heart was like this scarred tree.
Li Xiaojiu knew that his heart had undergone a certain degree of perversion under this long-term self-suppression.
Especially for his own courage and might, the father of the first emperor of the ages, Taizong Li Shimin, has an extraordinary rebellious mentality, the most important point is the rebellion against patriarchy - a complex attitude of respect and rebellion towards his father.
After returning from the 19th year of Zhenguan's Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, his father was constantly ill, and he spared no effort to take care of him during this period (such as "sucking carbuncles", which is very human).
Even if his father took the initiative to persuade himself to go out of the palace to relax, he didn't go out, because he had long been accustomed to playing the role of a filial son in front of the world, if he really slipped out to play during his father's illness, he would be worried that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would poke his backbone in the back and ruin his reputation for benevolence and filial piety for many years, so he would rather suppress himself more deeply than dare to accept his father's advice.
After moving to the annex of the Chengqing Palace, his sense of depression continued unabated. As a result, the various reverse energies accumulated in one's heart are like a pile of dry wood that is accumulating higher and higher, and once it touches a trace of spark, it will definitely ignite a raging fire.
In the courtyard not far from the Chengqing Palace, he hugged his father's talented Wu Mei to bed regardless of it, although the two were happy, faintly, there was an urge to get out of the shadow of his father.
When he pressed Wu Mei tightly under him and plowed Wu Mei's body with his majestic lower body, there was a trace of pleasure after revenge in his heart.
Thinking of the obedient rabbit who has been widely regarded by the ministers as a generous and filial friend, the rebellious psychology in his subconscious becomes stronger and stronger.
After he ascended the throne, he never performed "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", which praised Taizong's achievements on major festivals every year.
I have not favored Queen Wang for a long time, because she was selected by her father for herself as early as when she was the king of Jin, although she is the daughter of the Wang family of Taiyuan, one of the famous five surnames in Shandong, can be described as noble and good-looking.
Later, he finally ascended to the throne in repression and rebellion, and he thought that he could hold the power alone, but the cadres were autocratic. Unexpectedly, a huge stone lay in front of him, no matter what he did, if he didn't have his consent, he would do everything, although Zhang Xingcheng didn't say it explicitly, but of course Li Xiaojiu knew who he was.
"It's time to think about losing this big rock."
Li Xiaojiu looked at a sycamore tree outside that was intertwined and high in the clouds, and said something that only he had heard.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's so late, and you're still working hard to code words, so you can vote for a recommendation and collect it.
