XXXV. Year name
Emperor Wu is the only female emperor in history, and she is also the most willful and favorite emperor to change the era name.
In his 20 years in power, he changed his name by 17 years. Gaozong reigned for thirty-three years, and also changed fourteen era names, when Gaozong was weak, the two saints were in the dynasty, and most of these era names were changed to be related to Emperor Wu's wishes.
It is often the change of dynasty, the new emperor ascending the throne, or the country encountering major changes, the era name will be changed, and Shen Mengxi does not understand the mind of Emperor Wu.
Taizong used a Zhenguan for twenty-nine years, and he used it until he died, and Emperor Wu used a year name for four years at most, sometimes changing two or three years a year. Probably because of the difference in personality, Emperor Wu likes to change and like new things, but it also exposes her inner panic and instability.
Now Emperor Wu is in her seventies, and her figure is gradually obese, but her body is still good, only occasionally her memory is lost, and every time she realizes this, she loses her temper.
When Emperor Wu was young, he believed in Taoism, and believed that the collection of yang and replenishment of yin was true and effective, and it was also implemented all the time. She desperately longed for immortality, and at the same time took a large amount of pills, which caused the overload on her kidneys, and her health was affected by years of exhaustion.
Shen Mengxi persuaded her to give up the pill and taught her to practice tuna and meditation, but she refused to listen, but thought that her daughter was ignorant and could not meditate.
- Yes, who is at the pinnacle of power who can calm down!
Shen Mengxi taught her Baduanjin again, improved her recipes, and added vegetarian food, which was relatively easy to accept.
Shen Mengxi smiled in front of Emperor Wu and asked Shangguan Wan'er to supervise every day.
Shangguan Wan'er is one year older than Shen Mengxi, thirty-four years old. As the grandson of a criminal minister, she was born in the court, and her mother taught her carefully, and she was outstanding in literature since she was a child. From the age of fourteen to the present, has been accompanied by Emperor Wu's side, in the past was just a draft, in recent years, began to deal with the Baisi table, more and more involved in the government, with her intelligence, it can be said that the whole country, the person who knows Emperor Wu best, is none other than her.
"Do as the princess commands." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and saluted, a small red flower painted on her forehead, covering the traces of her face. This mark was punishable by Emperor Wu when she was twenty years old, and Emperor Wu gave her twenty years of grace and might, so that Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head and served left and right.
Shen Mengxi felt that this was another big thunder that Emperor Wu had buried for himself after the people of the Wu clan.
"Wan'er has been by A-Niang's side every day for the past 20 years, which makes me jealous as a daughter." Shen Mengxi stepped forward to hold Shangguan Wan'er's hand and said with a smile.
Emperor Wu laughed when he heard this, "It's that I delayed Wan'er's lifelong event!" ”
"It is a great honor for Wan'er to be able to serve His Majesty." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"In this world, I really can't find a man worthy of Wan'er for a while!"
"Wan'er has been with His Majesty all her life, and her wish is enough." Shangguan Wan'er bowed and said.
******
After the year, the princess's mansion continued to have happy events, first Shen Mengxi's fiefdom increased to three thousand, and then Yin'er Jian'er was crowned the king of the county.
Shen Mengxi took his son into the palace to thank him, and Emperor Wu looked at Xiao Xiao's two grandsons who were like himself and advanced and retreated appropriately, and was very happy, "The child teaches very well!" ”
Yin'er was seventeen years old, Jian'er was thirteen years old, they both entered the Guozijian to study, and they were also proficient in riding and archery arithmetic. ”
"A-Niang, doesn't my grandson hurt? A-Niang can't just think about San Lang, don't hurt my eldest Lang Erlang! Shen Mengxi said unrelentingly.
Emperor Wu laughed and said again and again: "It hurts, it hurts, A-Niang is afraid of you, how dare you not hurt!" ”
"That's not far away!" Shen Mengxi smiled.
Li Longji also often gets the opportunity to leave the palace and frequently goes back and forth to the princess's mansion. He actually made a marquee, which was helped by Jian'er Lu'er, and painted a picture of the four seasons with Miyagi as the background, with the leaves slowly growing, the peonies in full bloom, the autumn leaves falling with the wind, and the snowflakes piling up on the branches. There is sunrise and sunset, rain, snow, wind and frost, and several children are full of childlike fun, delicate and serious.
This lantern was greatly praised by Emperor Wu, and the children were very happy, and planned to continue to study and make a more innovative lantern.
In March, Emperor Wu suddenly ordered Li Xian's family to be secretly brought back from Fangzhou and placed in the dormitory.
Di Renjie said that Li Xian, as the future crown prince, should return to Luoyang and return to the palace in style. So, at the end of the month, Li Xian's family went out of the south of the city again, and was ceremoniously welcomed into the city from the Dingding Gate, through the Heavenly Street, through the Duanmen, Yingtianmen to welcome the imperial city, the momentum is not huge.
That night, Shen Mengxi, Wu Youji and their four children were announced to the palace to participate in the "family banquet".
After fourteen years of dethronement, Li Xian, who did not have much sharpness, has become a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes of life. His concubines and children also shrank back and did not appear on the stage, which made people sigh.
In the banquet hall, the brothers Li Xian and Li Dan hugged their heads and cried, recounting each other's feelings of longing.
Li Xian looked at the change of the horse beside his sister, and his expression darkened when he thought of Xue Shao's death, but he didn't say anything, but talked to Wu Youji in a friendly manner. He is less courageous than Li Dan, and he has been worried every day all these years, for fear that his mother will announce that he will be killed one day, and he is so afraid that he doesn't even dare to look in the direction of Luoyang. This time it was easy to return to Luoyang, although he didn't understand his mother's intentions very well, but he had already made up his mind to be an obedient and good son.
The three brothers and sisters and their families had a good agreement, but Emperor Wu still did not arrive, and Shen Mengxi rushed to Emperor Wu's bedroom.
Emperor Wu put down his hand and asked his daughter to sit over.
"Do you know why A-Niang took your third brother back?"
"It was A-Niang who heard that the third brother was sick and took pity on the third brother, so she let him return to Luoyang to recuperate."
"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, think that A-Niang can't see it? You're the weirdest! I don't know who it's like! Emperor Wu reprimanded, "A-Niang gave birth to six children, and now there are only three of you left, you all have to be well!" ”
Shen Mengxi nodded, "A-Niang is fine, we will be fine." ”
Emperor Wu also nodded, and said in an unprecedented tone: "It's really fast, it's more than seventy years old." Ah Niang's moon is thirty-three years old. Yue'er, don't be afraid of A-Niang, A-Niang won't harm you or kill you. ”
Shen Mengxi's face changed greatly.
"A-Niang knows that over the years, I have frightened you, and since Xue Shao's death, you have been separated from A-Niang." Emperor Wu stroked Shen Mengxi's hand all over again, "A-Niang is not a good mother, A-Niang also wants to be a good mother!" ”
"Now that I have taken your third brother back, in the future, this country will finally be handed back to the Li family. Ah Niang thought about it again and again, there was no prince of the Wu clan, firstly, for the sake of this society, the old ministers of the court, and the barbarians of all countries would support the Li clan, and secondly, if the mother went, the Wu clan would not be able to tolerate the three of you brothers and sisters. Emperor Wu sighed deeply.
"A-Niang is prosperous in the spring and autumn, so you don't have to worry about the prince in a hurry."
"The position of the crown prince can't be left undecided forever, A-Niang has figured it out, figured it out!"
Shen Mengxi felt Emperor Wu's frustration and powerlessness, and after more than forty years of fighting, the last heir had no choice.
Speaking of which, Emperor Wu gave birth to four sons, and the second son, Li Xian, is most like Emperor Wu in IQ and behavior, but it is he who is most opposed to Emperor Wu's interference. Li Xian Li Dan's personality is very similar to Gaozong, he can get by, he is cowardly and timid, and he is not suitable to be a monarch at all.
Shen Mengxi helped Emperor Wu to the banquet hall, and everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute, especially Li Xian, who cried again.
