Chapter 411: Nervous Li Zhi
"Son's resignation!" Li Zhen and Li Shenhu glanced at each other suspiciously, then bowed down and said, and then the two glanced at Li Zhi again, turned around and left the East Palace.
After seeing Li Zhen and Li Shen leaving, Li Zhi stood aside with some fear, not knowing what to say. Although he is the youngest son of Empress Changsun and usually lives in the palace, these older Empress Sun's health is not good, and he has to worry about Li Chengqian and Li Tai's two older sons, so he usually cares less about Li Zhi, resulting in when the mother and son get along, Li Zhi is a little afraid of her, her biological mother.
Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Empress Eldest Sun sighed, stepped forward and took her son's hand, asked him to sit down beside her, and said: "Pheasant slave, in the past few years, for the sake of your eldest brother and fourth brother, your mother's concern for you is not as good as your father's emperor, you won't blame the queen mother, right?" ”
Hearing his mother say this, Li Zhi naturally shook his head again and again and said: "What does the queen mother say, you have to help your father manage the harem, and you have to discipline your brothers and sisters, naturally there are more things." And at the beginning, the eldest brother and the fourth brother were not in harmony, and the queen mother was busy mediating for them, all of which the sons saw in their eyes, but they secretly hated the sons in their hearts because they were young and couldn't help the queen mother, but the queen mother could rest assured that the sons would definitely not make the queen mother sad like the two brothers in the future! ”
Hearing her youngest son say such intimate words, Empress Eldest Sun was also very moved, and put her arms around Li Zhi's head and put it on her chest, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. And Li Zhi didn't expect his mother to make such an intimate move, since he was sensible, the eldest grandson queen has never hugged him again, which made him panic, but also felt a warmth that he had never felt before.
Empress Eldest Sun and Li Zhi felt this rare mother-son affection. After a long while, Empress Changsun wiped her tears and said, "Pheasant slave." Your eldest brother was demoted out of Chang'an, and your fourth brother said that kind of stupid thing again. Now your queen has decided to demote your fourth brother to other places, so that you are the only one who can stay with your mother! ”
When Empress Eldest Sun said this, tears began to pour out again. As the mother of a country, Empress Eldest Sun should not have been so out of shape in front of people, even if the other party was her biological son. However, during this period of time, she has been hit one after another, first the eldest son Li Chengqian was demoted for rebellion. This has already hurt her heart enough, and then Li Tai said something to kill her son and pass on her brother, which made Empress Eldest Sun angry and hateful.
With the political wisdom of Empress Changsun, it is natural to see the truth in Li Tai's words, since he can say such things in front of his father, then if Li Tai is really allowed to ascend the throne in the future, I am afraid that his youngest son will inevitably die, and it is his own brother who wants to kill him. Thankfully, though. 's husband is not so pampered that Li Tai does not distinguish between right and wrong, and excludes Li Tai from the crown prince's candidate, which makes her mother finally feel at ease, after all, although the throne is important. But she didn't want to see the tragedy of her two sons killing each other in the future.
Although Li Zhi is precocious, he is still young after all. He didn't fully understand what Empress Changsun was thinking, but he had already received the guidance of his uncle Changsun Wuji in advance. Let him spend more time with his mother during this time, even if there is nothing to do. I also want to go to the Lizheng Hall to sit for a while and chat with my mother. Because the eldest grandson Wuji knew that his sister would be in a bad mood.
Out of the nature of mother and son, and out of the instructions of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi behaved very well-behaved in front of the eldest grandson queen, and tried to pick some words she liked to hear, although the eldest grandson queen also saw that her son was pleasing herself, but she was still very happy, after all, Li Zhi was so young that she was already so sensible, and this heart alone made her a mother.
The mother and son talked for a long time, and finally the eldest grandson queen confessed solemnly: "Pheasant slave, this time your father personally set up a juvenile class for the military academy, although there are reasons to train you, but the most important thing is to let you cultivate a group of henchmen, and when you grow up with them, the students of those juvenile classes will be your greatest help, so usually pay attention to your words and deeds, and be sure to attract more talents!" ”
"The pheasant slave knows!" Li Zhi nodded very seriously. As the son of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he has a natural sensitivity to these political matters, and naturally knows the main purpose of establishing the juvenile class.
Seeing her son so obedient, Empress Eldest Sun nodded happily, and then spoke again: "In addition, you will also take classes in the military academy, which will give you the opportunity to contact those real military cadets, these people are the backbone of our Datang military department, so if you usually have the opportunity, you should also pay more attention to them, and it is best to have a good relationship with the cadets in the military academy through some familiar people, these things are very important, and the pheasant slave must be taken seriously!" ”
Li Zhi knew that although the words his mother said were not as good as the words of concern, they were very important to him, so he still nodded heavily and said: "Erchen understands that there are many old acquaintances of Erchen in the military academy, and when I have the opportunity, I will ask them to help me introduce some cadets from the military academy on my behalf!" ”
Next, Empress Changsun explained some things to Li Zhi, almost all of which were about the things he should pay attention to after becoming the crown prince, originally these things did not need to be mentioned by Empress Changsun herself, but out of concern for her son, Empress Changsun still pointed out to him one by one, if Li Zhi did not understand anything, she would patiently explain the power.
In the evening, Empress Changsun had dinner with Li Zhi again, and then returned to the Taiji Palace. However, after Li Zhi watched his mother leave, his face became a little uneasy, he ranked ninth among the princes, in addition to the second brother who died early, there were seven elder brothers, so he never dreamed that the crown prince would fall to his head, and even a few days before he entered the East Palace, he still felt that everything was like a dream.
However, in the following days, the eldest grandson Wuji and a group of other people continued to visit, especially his uncle eldest grandson Wuji, who told him a lot, and also hinted at how much he did in the matter of being made the prince. However, Li Zhi knew very clearly that the reason why he was able to be made the crown prince was because the sixth brother Li Su was unwilling to fight, and the second was that the sixth brother recommended himself to his father. It can be said that his position as the crown prince was actually given to him by the sixth brother Li Su.
In addition, Li Zhi also knew that his uncle had also made a lot of efforts in establishing the prince, so he was in a hurry to step forward to show his merits now, in order to let him remember this merit in his heart, which was understandable. But now the sixth brother, who has made the greatest credit, didn't say anything, but asked for credit with a small credit, which made Li Zhi feel a little disgusted with his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji and others.
But no matter how disgusted he was, Li Zhi also understood that countless people, including the eldest grandson Wuji, put their hopes on themselves, and today even the queen mother came to explain things to him. This made Li Zhi suddenly feel a kind of pressure, he was worried that he would not be able to be the crown prince, worried that he would disappoint his father and mother, and he was also worried that he would be accused by his uncle and others for doing something wrong, etc., although all this has not happened yet, but it has given Li Zhi a great pressure, which makes him really unbearable at the age of thirteen.
It was under this pressure that Li Zhi suddenly thought of the sixth brother Li Su, thinking that when the sixth brother was in Chang'an, the relationship between the two of them was very good, and the sixth brother would help him out of anything, and he was also used to living under the protection of the sixth brother. But now that the sixth brother has given the prince to himself, he himself is working hard outside, which makes Li Zhi suddenly find that he will no longer be able to find someone to rely on in the future, and he will no longer be protected by the sixth brother, because he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and this identity has made him understand that everything in the future will be handled by himself, and he must also deal with it himself, which is also one of the places that makes Li Zhi feel pressure.
Thinking of the sixth brother Li Su who was far away in Dengzhou, Li Su also sighed in his heart, he envied the freedom of the sixth brother overseas, and even the last time the sixth brother went to Taiwan, he also instigated the seventh brother and the eighth brother, hoping to take them with him, but unfortunately because he was too young, in the end, the seventh brother and the eighth brother went overseas to see it, but he had no chance, and now he is the prince again, I am afraid that overseas travel can only be regarded as a beautiful dream.
Li Zhi envied Li Su's freedom in the East Palace, and even in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep badly, but he didn't know that Li Su couldn't sleep at this time, and even the people in the entire palace were busy, and the most excited among them was that in addition to Li Su, the chief manager of the palace was Gao Zheng.
"Immeasurable Dao Venerable, Buddha blesses, I will definitely bless Wu Huan to give birth to a little prince for His Royal Highness!" Gao Zhong beckoned his subordinates to get busy, and whispered in his mouth, he was a eunuch, and he watched Li Su grow up since he was a child, and Li Su was very kind to him, so he had already put all his feelings into the palace.
But now the palace lacks nothing, there is a lack of a little prince who can inherit the throne, but unfortunately the princess has not given birth, last time Wang Huanren finally got pregnant, but gave birth to a daughter, although Li Yu was very happy, but Gao Zhong felt empty and happy, originally he pinned his hopes on the Cui Huan people who had not yet passed the door, but fortunately, His Royal Highness still has a disgraceful Wu Huan person outside, and she was pregnant last year, which made Gao Zhong finally relieved, and now he is asking God to worship Buddha, I hope that this time Wu Meiniang can get a man in one fell swoop, and it will also fulfill his wish.
Compared to Gao Zhong's eagerness to have a boy, Li Su doesn't care about men and women at all, anyway, he has no problem with his body, and he and Wen Xin are so young, there will be opportunities in the future, so he just wants to let Wu Meiniang give birth to a child smoothly now. But Wu Meiniang has been in the delivery room since the afternoon, and she has not given birth in the middle of the night, and Wu Meiniang's screams are becoming more and more weak, which makes him almost dying, and he keeps wandering around the door of the delivery room, if it weren't for Wen Xin and Xijun to stop him, he would have rushed in a long time ago.
