Sixty-four, the cliff

Over the years, Shen Mengxi has successively recruited and trained nearly 1,000 guards, scattered among various Zhuangzi, and Chang'an Newspaper has the most people, scattered all over the country. gave Yu'er and Lu'er 100 people each as dowries and took them to her husband's house. Jian'er also has a hundred, and she only brought ten people with her when she traveled. Yin'er had commanded nearly 300 people, and it was completely handed over to him after marriage.

Now those who remain in the Princess Mansion of Chang'an are still five hundred guards.

Yin'er came over to ask for a meeting shortly after Li Longji left.

Shen Mengxi painted a fine brush, only then did he start the draft, and then stopped.

"Auntie, if San Lang doesn't come today, my son will want to go to him tomorrow!" As soon as Yin'er entered the door, she invited Qingfeng out first, and said urgently.

"Yes." Shen Mengxi thought to himself, shouldn't he discuss it with A-Niang first, and then go to San Lang? After all, this is her princess's mansion, Yin'er wants to live in the princess's mansion for two years, and then open a mansion, it is said that the eldest son should always live with his mother, but Yin'er is already the king of the county, she thinks it is appropriate to let them be bound for two years, it's okay, the man's wings should not be tied. It's just that she suddenly realized how Empress Wu felt when she faced Li Xian,—— you have a son who is excellent in all aspects, and he will quickly escape your control, and even counter-control.

"The queen's mother and daughter and Shangguan Jieyu are in control of the government, Your Majesty is being held hostage, they have murderous intentions towards A-Niang and King Xiang, the best defense is to attack, A-Niang, we must unite San Lang!"

Yin'er's analysis was completely correct, and Shen Mengxi nodded slowly, "Yin'er thinks, do all emperors have jealousy of A-Niang?" ”

Yin'er was stunned for a moment and fell into thought, "I'm afraid it's for sure." “

"It's okay, you discuss it with San Lang, and then talk to A-Niang if you have a specific plan."

"Whoa!" Yin'er saluted and left.

Princess Anle is known as the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty, she was born on the way to Fangzhou when her parents were exiled, and she had no baby swaddling, so she had to be wrapped in old clothes, so she got the name of Bao'er. When he was young, he lived almost the same life as ordinary people, and after returning to Luoyang, Emperor Wu loved this good-looking granddaughter very much, and personally gave him the title of the lord of Anle, and often took it with him.

Influenced by her grandmother, Princess An Le is ambitious and likes to be arbitrary. Weekday life is even more arrogant and lascivious, often writing edicts by themselves, covering the handwriting, grabbing Li Xian's hand, sprinkling coquettishness, and stamping the imperial seal while laughing.

It is said that Princess Taiping likes to build a lot of construction and lives a luxurious life, compared with Princess Anle, Shen Mengxi feels that she is simply a pediatrician. Princess Anle's mansion, imitating the scale of the imperial palace, is extremely luxurious, and even surpasses the palace in sophistication.

She openly sold her official position, won the hearts of the people, and leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Forcibly seized the people's land to dig the big lake, spent a huge amount of money to cast a hundred treasure incense burner, just a hundred bird skirts, there are two hundred, the color of the skirt is dazzling, under the movement, the color of the skirt is constantly changing, beautiful.

In the end, he set up a fang market in the palace, opened a gold shop, a wine shop, a rice grain shop, etc., and the palace maids and eunuchs pretended to be merchants, and Li Xian, Empress Wei, Princess Anle and Shangguan Jieyu pretended to be customers, and they had to bargain several times, and they would fight if they didn't agree with each other, and they needed to ask Wuhou to judge. He also ordered officials and palace maids to compete in tug-of-war, and the civil officials fell to the ground, and the emperor and queen stroked their palms and laughed.

Once power reaches its peak and money achieves absolute freedom, people, if they do not have firm beliefs and goals, often lose their goals, have no scruples, and indulge themselves.

Princess Anle and Wu Yanxiu, the son of Wu Chenghei, had an affair, and everyone knew about it, so Li Xian had no choice but to give marriage, and half a year after the marriage, Princess Anle gave birth to a son.

The atmosphere in Chang'an was extremely corrupt, and many noblewomen followed the example of the royal family and were unscrupulous, even more than in the Wu and Zhou periods.

In any period of change, there will be a change in the atmosphere, such as in the early days of the Republic of China, the Chinese people divorced one after another, and women were suddenly emancipated, which was so bold that it was jaw-dropping. In the 80s, when the country first opened, the thinking of the Chinese people changed even more rapidly, from conservative to open, it seemed that it was only overnight, and the earth was turned upside down.

As long as she doesn't interfere in her life, Shen Mengxi doesn't care about these behaviors, she seems to go with the flow, she always has her own insistence, in the royal fight, she doesn't blame anyone, she doesn't sympathize with anyone, and she never even thinks about saving Li Xian. - Isn't that what history is all about?

But now, it has been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

She told Jian Er to return to Chang'an quickly, and the guards everywhere also secretly transferred back for deployment.

Soon after the Shangyuan Festival in the second year of Jinglong, the news of Li Xian's death came out, and Shen Mengxi immediately changed his clothes and entered the palace. She didn't know the specific time of Li Xian's death, and the bookstore had limited books about the Tang Dynasty, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Rushed to the palace, there was a mess inside, Empress Wei and An Le were crying, and when they saw Shen Mengxi, they asked her to salute, and said as if justifying: "San Lang only said that he had a sore appetite and was irritable after dinner, and suddenly he collapsed, and he didn't leave a word!" Empress Wei cried with a bit of sincerity.

Shen Mengxi went to the side of the imperial couch and reached out to lift the yellow silk cloth covering his face.

Li Xian's face was pale, his lips were purple, and it didn't look like he died of poisoning, but like he died of a heart attack. Li Xian's limbs are thin, his belly is big, and he can't run away from high blood lipids and high blood pressure. Emperor Li has a lot of hereditary wind diseases, and the specific manifestations are high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and stroke. Li Shimin was plagued by wind disease for half of his life, and lived to be fifty-one years old, and Gaozong's vision was blurred in his later years, and he only lived to be fifty-six years old by taking pills and regular bloodletting by imperial doctors to slow down his condition.

"What does the hospital say?" Shen Mengxi asked in a deep voice.

"Auntie, the imperial doctor said that Daddy had a heart attack." An Le was a little dissatisfied with Shen Mengxi's almost questioning tone, and hurriedly said.

Princess Anle's eyelids were puffy, and her sadness did not seem to be fake. Shen Mengxi persuaded a few words of mourning, and he also shed tears.

After the whole country mourned, Empress Wei took charge of the government and reused Wei's children to lead the forbidden army, Cui Jin was relieved of military power and transferred to Weizhou, and almost all military power in Chang'an was controlled by Wei.

On this day, Yin'er and his wife came together to say goodbye, and Yin'er was overjoyed, "A-Niang, Danniang is pregnant, A-Niang is going to be a grandmother!" ”

"Really, a few months?" Shen Mengxi resisted the urge to take the pulse, "Have you seen the imperial doctor?" ”

"I've seen it, and the doctor said it's been almost two months."

"Okay, you have to take care of Dan'er." Shen Mengxi smiled happily, and said to her daughter-in-law: "Dan'er must ensure that she is in a good mood, and the birth of a boy and a girl are the treasures of our family!" ”

Cui Shi Niangzi got up and saluted with a smile, "Yes, A-Niang!" ”

Shen Mengxi secretly regretted that he had no room for his obstetric skills, and secretly thought in his heart, if his daughter-in-law had a difficult birth, would he give her a caesarean section.

Yin'er changed the topic, "A-Niang, in a few days, Princess Anle's eldest son will be born at the sixth birthday, and Danniang will not go." He looked into his mother's eyes.

Shen Mengxi immediately agreed, "Of course, Dan'er is not allowed to go anywhere from today onwards, just at home." ”

Three days later, Shen Mengxi took a carriage and went to the palace. The queen specially held a feast in the palace for her grandson's birthday, inviting princes and ministers, and relatives of the emperor.

In this banquet, the Wei clan accounted for most of them, and they were better than the Wu clan back then, Shen Mengxi lowered his eyelids and sat still.

There were dancing girls dancing in the court, and the banquet was also noisy and chaotic, except for the one who entered the door, no one communicated with Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi rose and fell several times, and he no longer cared about such isolation and embarrassment.

After a long time, Empress Wei walked in with a boy, everyone hurriedly saluted, Shen Mengxi looked up at Empress Wei, after Li Xian's death, she was even more beautiful, her face flashed with a smug light, proud of everything. Success is indeed the best cosmetics.

Shen Mengxi looked at the child, and felt unbearable in his heart.

Princess An Le and Wu Yanxiu then came out together, today Princess An Le wore a bird skirt, the skirt has birds fluttering their wings, with the footsteps moving, the skirt flies, and the birds seem to be alive. Walking in front of Empress Wei, the candlelight became brighter, and the color of the skirt changed from light pink to rose red, sparkling.

For a time, Anle attracted everyone's attention.
