The son finally fell asleep, after a day of riding, tired early, after dinner, bathed and fell asleep, I put on my clothes and came to the tomb of Shi Tong alone, the autumn night was more dewy, I wrapped myself in Shi Tong's leather robe and leaned against the tomb as I used to look at the stars in the sky.
In the past, it seemed that he had a lot to say to Shi Tong, but at this time, I was silent. Word by word, I recalled Concubine Xue's dialogue. She said a lot, she was a gentle and intelligent woman, why did she say so many meaningless things to me, even forbidden words? Yes, she asked me to stay away from King Jin, she asked me not to interfere with her and King Jin's life, but she kept reminding me that only with King Jin can there be martial talents; She is still reminding me that the rumors of my affair with Li Shimin are rumored in the palace; and the prince was already suffering from a foot disease and was abandoned by the courtiers; Yes, now I am a powerful friend in Li Shimin's heart, and my words have a certain influence on Li Shimin, so please help King Jin for your little daughter! Alas! Is this the court?
"Why did you come out alone?" It's Mei Niang's voice. It was too dark for me to see her, and I didn't bother to get up to look, but soon she turned around with the lamp and looked at me.
"I want to talk to your father." I smiled and patted the ground beside me, and she came over and sat down. I wrapped her around her and let her lean into my arms.
"You talked to the concubine for a long time in the afternoon."
"Why don't you come here when you see it?"
"She seems to have been wanting to talk to you, so why bother breaking it." She said indifferently.
"What do I want to ask when I come out late at night?" I smiled.
"Did you know that Your Majesty had the intention of changing the crown prince?"
"Even if you want to change, it won't be Li Zhi's turn." I laughed, thinking that there were still ten years before Li Shimin's death, and the prelude to changing the crown prince had just begun.
"Yes, Li Tai is more popular, and the behavior of the prime minister is tantamount to showing the courtiers their determination to abandon the prince." She nodded, thinking, "But Li Zhi is not without a chance, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and if you don't get it, the pie will fall into the mouth of the third person." ”
I burst out laughing, especially loud in the middle of the night, and she came over and covered my mouth. I'm still laughing, but not so loud anymore.
"Do you think the current Li Zhi is worthy of being the emperor?" I paused and asked. Watching him ride a horse in the afternoon, to be honest, it was really not very presentable. You must know that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson's family are both of Hu blood.
"What's unworthy, didn't my father say it, as long as you sit there, you can do it, it's just a good job and a bad job." Mei Niang was not worried at all, and brought out Shi Tong's words to prove it, it seems that Shi Tong really had a deep impact on her.
"Your father is talking about officials, not about the throne."
"The world dictates it." She didn't care, and I nodded, right.
"The prince has the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and Gao Shilian; The person Fang Xiang should see now is Li Tai, what does Li Zhi have? I asked, as if unintentionally.
"Old Man Gao is the queen's uncle, the queen's brothers and sisters are brought up by Old Man Gao, and Chu Suiliang is only the eldest grandson Wuji. Old Man Gao's idea is very simple, as long as the son born to the queen is the emperor, as for who it is, he doesn't care. And Li Zhi has always been very popular with the old man, and he feels pitiful. If His Majesty really wants to change the crown prince, the old man and the eldest grandson should choose the relatively obedient Li Zhi instead of Li Tai, who has always been close to them. ”
I laughed, yes, exactly the same as the analysis of historians, this is Wu Meiniang, she has always known what is best for her.
"I like Fang Xiang, and I like Mrs. Fang."
She was silent, maybe she didn't think it had much to do with her. She changed the subject.
"Is this also the case that the concubine told you?"
"She told me not to get Li Zhi into a bloody storm." I didn't say anything else, but just the most important ones.
"Hah!" Mei Niang sneered.
"Laughing at what? For her, Li Zhi is her support for the rest of her life, what should she do if something happens? ”
"But if Li Zhi really becomes the crown prince and becomes the emperor in the future, she will be the emperor's teacher and one of the most important people around the emperor."
"So Chu Suiliang played a mess, do you all suspect my intention to arrange you by Li Zhi's side?" I glanced at Mei Niang, and when I thought about it, I felt that it was useless, and she couldn't see it.
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty asked me the reason why I got you to Concubine Xue, and I said that you are a little bookworm, and you like to study; The concubine asked me why I asked you to go to Li Zhi's side, and I said that I asked you to go to the concubine's place to avoid trouble, and I didn't want you to get involved in the palace dispute......"
"Now I'm asking!"
"You ask? I will say that I am telling the truth, you can read a lot of books with Concubine Xue; Secondly, you also avoid the fight of those women in the palace, and it will be relatively safe; In the end, in addition to learning to protect yourself, you must also learn to protect Li Zhi. Let him hide as far as the prince, Li Tai, and the eldest grandson Wuji as far as they can in the past few years. ”
"Why? It seems that Concubine Xue still plans to let the eldest grandson Wuji teach Li Zhi to read some scriptures and politics? ”
"The snipe and the clam competed, and the fisherman appeared only when they were exhausted at the end of the fight. Li Zhi came out too early, and the only person who hurt was himself. ”
"So Li Zhi just needs to be his current self." Mei Niang laughed and thought about it, "I understand, Your Majesty allowed Li Zhi to go out of Beijing, and he was afraid that Li Zhi would be involved, so it was safer to hand it over to his mother." ”
I'm silent, Mei Niang should already know what to do, think about it, I, a person who knows history, will be like this, and she, Concubine Xue, and Li Shimin have a lot of brains? After saying that, I drove Mei Niang back, she was reluctant to leave, and I still relied on it alone and didn't want to move.
"Shi Tong, am I doing it right? I know that history may be able to change, but I am still following the pace of history, knowing that it is not the best outcome. "I muttered to myself, in the dead of night, and no one could answer me.
