Episode 893: [Talking about the world in the boudoir]
……
This has a bearing on the issue of Li Chengqian's position in Chang'an.
He already felt that his situation was very embarrassing, Lao Li's embarrassment and current indulgence, what was the reason, Li Chengqian didn't figure it out. Now that Wu Zhao said that she had figured it out, then let her make it clear.
thought that this was related to politics, so Li Chengqian didn't want Su Mi and Xiao Chen to know. None of them are talented in this area, and knowing about it will only worry them.
For Wu Zhao's proposal to go to her room just now, Li Chengqian actually refused, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
The two entered Wu Zhao's room, and Su Mi and Xiao Chen saw it. But they were not bold enough to restrict Li Chengqian's behavior.
Entering the room, Wu Zhao sat on the bed, and it was not appropriate for Li Chengqian to sit on the chair again, and he was still a wife, so he didn't care so much. So the two of them sat down.
"Your Highness, the concubine said something that may be very disrespectful. If you say something wrong, please punish the concubine! Wu Zhao lightly lifted his lips and said, "Your Majesty is doing this to keep His Royal Highness away from the government. ”
Immediately, she whispered: "Your Majesty cares about you." ”
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, tapped his two fingers on each other for a while, and said to Wu Zhao: "There are only the two of us here, and what you say will not be passed on, just say it." ”
Wu Zhao sat closer and whispered to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty is afraid of you because Your Highness has made great achievements in the past year!" ”
"The concubine heard all the things that His Highness had done from the mouths of the two sisters and the others. What you did before the Chinese New Year was a huge but inconspicuous achievement, and these achievements made you accumulate a lot of popularity in the court. As your popularity rises more and more, you have become a good prince in everyone's eyes. The process. The ministers did not notice, not even His Majesty. It's time for something big. This effect comes up. ”
"For example, the civil unrest in Xuzhou, His Royal Highness proposed the Huairou policy, if it was before, everyone would not agree, but at that time, many ministers stood up to support His Highness, and finally His Majesty agreed."
"You have done two great things this year to get His Majesty to notice you. One is the Xuzhou Quelling Incident, and the other is a military exercise. These two things make His Highness beautiful. The government and the opposition commented that His Royal Highness is a good prince who can succeed His Majesty! ”
Got everyone's evaluation. Of course, Li Chengqian did a really good job.
But good things are bound to have their bads.
Wu Zhao changed his words at this time and said: "But Your Majesty is only 38 years old this year, young and prosperous, and there is no need for a successor prince for the time being." ......" She paused here, feeling that it was too subtle, and it was better to put it bluntly, "Your Majesty needs a mediocre prince, not a prince with great merits!" ”
According to His Royal Highness's performance in Xuzhou, he has won the hearts of the people. In the military exercise, it was recognized by the ministers of the DPRK and China. So if this continues, will His Highness do more than that? Tubo has been on the border for a long time. Goguryeo has become a must-kill in the Tang Dynasty, and the southern six swamps can be done. The people in the Lingnan area are not in agreement, with the talent of His Royal Highness. It will be able to conquer it with strange tricks! When the time comes, His Highness will be able to cover it with great merit! ”
"This is not good for Your Majesty, and it is also bad for Your Highness."
"Your Majesty was a great accomplishment to my father back then. Make Gaozu abdicate. Then Your Majesty will also be worried that you will also be a good father, and let him give way when the time comes! Wu Zhao said this. The body shrank back at him.
Li Chengqian heard it and didn't notice it. Wu Zhao had already burrowed into his arms.
"You have a point." Li Chengqian patted her on the back and agreed, "I didn't expect this to be the case!" ”
He just didn't expect that he was doing too well before, so he let Lao Li drive him away.
Think about history, Lao Li has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and now he has only been Zhenguan for 11 years, that is, he has only been half of the time he has been an emperor.
History also shows all this, Li Shimin from the death of the eldest grandson empress, let the king of Wei and the crown prince fight for power, a fight for more than ten years. It was only two years before Li Shimin was dying that he made Li Zhi's son the crown prince. Think of a child who has no mother, and the king of Wei and the crown prince, who grew up next to the eldest grandson, are more independent. And watching the two brothers of the same mother fight for more than ten years, how many things does he have to learn in the past ten years? Another Li Zhi is young, and after a young monarch ascends the throne, he can sit in the emperor's seat for a longer time and can do more things. Therefore, this historical drama seems absurd but it is reasonable.
Li Chengqian's current position is this embarrassing position, appearing in a position that should not appear. If Li Chengqian had appeared ten years late, it might have been fine. Now, it has become a bonsai with branches that grow too long and thick, destroying the beauty and needing to be cut off.
A small hand fell on Li Chengqian's big hand, and the two held together.
She seems to be telling Li Chengqian, don't be afraid, there is still her!
"Your Majesty is embarrassed by Your Highness, and you want to leave this political arena. I force you to read because you don't like it. If you don't like it, he'll let you do it! Wu Zhao said with some hatred, "And this is just the beginning!" ”
"The further back he goes, the more things you don't like to do for you to do. And if you don't like to do it, then it's easy to make mistakes. You can be criticized as soon as you make a mistake. Slowly lower your previous prestige. But His Majesty didn't expect that His Highness would make this trick of pretending to be sick! ”
Wu Zhao smiled slightly and said, "You moved to Furong Garden after pretending to be sick, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the court, which broke up all your majesty's original plans." And you just got a good rating at the military exercise. If Your Majesty still embarrasses you when you are sick, it will be said. So now he won't come to embarrass His Highness again! ”
When this sentence came to this, Li Chengqian was stunned, he made a mistake, but he didn't expect to turn Lao Li's game!
"Then you said that now those gangs of gentlemen come to play with crickets, what is the matter with the major families?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.
According to the above words, it seems that nothing is wrong. Li Chengqian is now as quiet as possible. It's better for those families to deal with less. Otherwise, it would not be good to be suspected by Lao Li.
"Because His Highness's Agricultural College has played a role!" Wu Zhao smiled lightly and looked at Li Chengqian with admiration.
Speaking of the College of Agriculture, Li Chengqian remembered the celebration party of the last pig killing. It was a celebration of the success of the seed promotion. And he was also rewarded by Lao Li.
"It's because Your Majesty rewarded the Agricultural Academy and His Highness that a message was revealed!" Wu Zhao smiled mysteriously.
