The days after that were much simpler, I accompanied Li Shimin to talk about the interesting things in the letter that my son wrote to me, and my son gave birth to a boy in June of 22 years, named Weiyong. I told Li Shimin as a joke, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and blew it, "What is Jun Weiyong?" Do you want to say that I am a faint king? If you are not a filial girl, you will not come to see me, and you will not say that you will bring me to see if you have a child. Speaking of which, I was a little sad, and I patted his hand gently.

"It's so far away, and my son's health is not very good, besides, I told them when I got married, and if you are far away from heaven, it's good to remember Your Majesty in your heart."

"The sons are all mothers, Guanyin must be very happy." He smiled and I nodded. He looked at me for a long time, "Cheng Qian is dead." ”

"I know." I was expressionless, I thought he would never tell me this, these days here, I saw Li Zhi, hugged Mei Niang, they didn't mention this to me, who would mention it to someone who has been dead for three years? He looked coldly into the distance, as if only at this time did he have a bit of an imperial appearance. I gently rubbed his shoulder and thought for a moment, "Don't think about it, Cheng Qian won't die in vain, let them make trouble." ”

"You know?"

"The prince brought me a cloak, which I gave to Cheng Qian. The prince sent someone to tell me that he remembered the oath he had made. "I will always remember that night, on the mountain, Li Zhi sent his henchmen to bring me the cloak that he bought for Cheng Qian, there was a large blood stain on the cloak, and the person sent said that Cheng Qian only left one sentence, saying that he was very obedient and studying. I cried for a long time that night with my cloak, poor Chengqian, poor Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded and closed his eyes for a while, "They told me Chengqian's last words, and they refused to let go of even a child who was obediently studying at home, what a good relative!" Thanks to Mei Niang, she felt that something was wrong, and asked the pheasant slave to send someone to protect Cheng Qian and Qingque, but Cheng Qian still did not escape, but fortunately left a message. The pheasant slave also matured all of a sudden, knowing who to believe and who to kill. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"I know, I'm not angry, at this time the pheasant slave still has to rely on them to help, the pheasant slave knows what to do, I also know what to do." He smiled coldly, patted my hand gently, and I looked at him, this is what history says about the life of trusting the eldest grandson Wuji, and the model of being a lone on his deathbed, and a suitable monarch and minister? It seems that history books really can't be trusted!

He saw my dazedness, smiled, gently pulled me to sit beside me, and smiled, "Throughout the ages, how many important ministers who have entrusted orphans can have a good death?" Regardless of whether he sincerely supports him, or coerces the Son of Heaven to order all the waiters. The pheasant slave is just benevolent, but after all, he is not a child, once he really grasps the power, Wuji is not necessarily his opponent. ”

He explained it to me gently, and I laughed when I was just a woman who didn't understand anything. I suddenly felt very warm, it turned out that being a little woman who didn't understand anything would be so warm.

I hugged him gently, "Don't teach the children badly, think about the mother!" The crown prince is benevolent and filial, if the eldest grandson is sincere in helping him, it is better for you to let him not talk about killing lightly. ”

He smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh, "You, you always want to take care of everyone, take care of yourself!" Or are you smart, you know to hide yourself all these years, and you also know to let Mei Niang hide, I am afraid that you and Mei Niang will survive in the future. This is good, and I will feel more at ease when you are alive. ”

"Don't think that I will be martyred for you if I say this, I will live well, watch the children grow up, live well, and be happy."

He laughed out loud, and I patted him gently, and he squeezed my hand again, "And then?" Do you want to accompany Shi Tong when you die? ”

When he didn't ask, I really hadn't thought about it, but at this time it seemed that there had to be an answer, I thought about it, smiled and shook my head, "You're so stupid, you're gone, you want to go back to your mother, what am I going to do?" I'm gone, let Mei Niang bury me far away, and don't go back to Shitong. ”

He thought for a moment, a little puzzled, I stood up and gently hugged him behind my back, cheek to cheek, for a while, "I know you are stingy, if I go back to Shitong, you must be angry; But when I go back to Shi Tong, he may be angry, so I'd better find a place far away from both of you and bury him. ”

He smiled and nodded contentedly for a while, "Let the pheasant slave bury you properly." ”

I sighed, but I couldn't help but laugh, this man is really a little bit of a god.

"Tell me about my mother!" I want to hear him tell me why the woman who has become obsessed with me is not jealous. Is it just because for her, those women are just a relief for her husband? But I can't understand it anyway.

Li Shimin pinched me with his movable right hand, I laughed and shook my head, "It's not jealousy, really, I just want to know, although I listened to it and drew the queen's biography for my son, I really think she is a fan." ”

"You're thinking too much." He glanced at me and thought, "Guanyin's life experience is somewhat similar to Mei Niang, her mother gave birth to Wuji and her in the steproom, but her father already had an adult son, and after her father died, her eldest brother kicked them out." My mother-in-law didn't have your skills, so Wuji took Guanyin to Gao Shilian's house. ”

I probably know in terms of experience, and later the eldest grandson was scared when he saw his sister being the queen, and Li Shimin originally looked at their family unpleasantly, and it was the queen who persuaded him to treat them politely, but the eldest brother was a thief and was afraid that the eldest grandson would retaliate against him every day, so he reversed, and after being shocked, the eldest grandson queen also interceded for him, Li Shimin was not as kind as the eldest grandson queen, so he killed him directly. It may be that I am psychologically dark, and I always feel that this is a desire to capture and indulge, but think about it, this may be the difference between a gentleman and a villain, the same thing, the eldest grandson queen is to do the best of benevolence and righteousness, and Mei Niang is to kill them all.

Then the story is much more exciting, His Majesty Li Er praised himself like a flower, to paraphrase the modern saying that everyone loves flowers and flowers, so Gao Shilian fell in love at first sight, and gave him the eldest grandson Wuji, who was only thirteen years old, for nothing.

"Thirteen years old, the seedlings of the country!" I accused him of his heinous behavior, but he didn't bother to pay attention to me, thinking about it, Comrade Li Er seemed to be underage at that time, only seventeen. He saw that I would not say anything and continued to speak.

In fact, what I later understood meant was that the eldest grandson Niangniang had the quality of being a queen since she was a child, so even if she was only thirteen years old, the Li family began to accumulate preparations for the great cause of rebellion, and this thirteen-year-old little daughter-in-law gave full play to her own advantages and fully devoted herself to the great cause of her in-laws...... I think it's still similar to what I read in the history books, a woman who is calm, intelligent, and self-controlled to the point of almost cruelty, how can such a woman get the emperor's heart? I grabbed Comrade Li Er, who was like a river, "What do you love about Niangniang?" Although these qualities are admired, they are not approached. ”

"Her oldest and youngest were born to her." Li Shimin squinted at me again.

"You can't have a baby...... Wait a minute...... "I interrupted him, and was about to say that having a child doesn't mean anything, but I immediately stopped, I have been in and out of the palace for more than ten years, and the fertility of the concubines in the palace still knows a little, and the beloved Da Yang Concubine in history only has two sons; and Wei Guifei, who was in charge of the harem after the death of Empress Changsun, had a son and a daughter; The others all have only one child, including Concubine Xiao Yang, who was snatched from Li Yuanji, and she only gave birth to Li Fu after entering the palace for many years. Most of the princesses are from palace people who have no rank, and later I realized that it is not the rank that will give birth to a son, but the face is born with a son. It is not uncommon for harem mothers to be more expensive than their sons, and children to be more expensive than their mothers. The child represents the love of the emperor, if the children of the eldest grandson and queen are lined up, and Li Shimin is excluded from the days when he is out fighting and patrolling around, then Li Shimin has given her most of the time, and during her pregnancy, Li Shimin occasionally 'spends a little', which is not an unbearable thing for a virtuous queen. But the last child was also born to the eldest grandson, which was a little puzzling to me, I stared into his eyes, "After Niangniang dies, you are not allowed to have children in other people?" ”

He smiled at me and didn't answer me, I was about to ask, when the eunuch's voice came from the door, Li Zhi came. Although Chang'an is not far away, he rode a fast horse for three days to come and see, and it was really difficult for him to stay for two days and then rush back quickly. Li Zhi didn't have to wait for the announcement when he came, and soon the heavy door was pushed open, and he came in in a hurry, his face was red from the wind, it seemed that he had come all the way without stopping.

"The retainers have come to greet their father. Mrs. Yang is well. ”

"Okay, is it cold outside?" Li Shimin waved his hand, while I, turned sideways to avoid it, went over to help him take off his cloak, and saluted in parallel, Li Zhi did not accept it, but I still insisted.

The prince came, and the eunuchs and palace maids all came in, what should they do, it was just time for Li Shimin to take medicine, Mei Niang also came in with a tray, one large and one small two silver bowls, Mei Niang poured out part of the medicine in the big bowl and drank it herself in the small silver bowl, and then presented the big bowl to Li Shimin, I was also shocked when I first came, it was the medicine of Tongluo, and the medicine was three points of poison, she was not sick, and she accompanied Li Shimin to drink what medicine every day. I questioned Li Shimin, and he smiled, but he was never willing to answer me. So every time I watched them drink medicine, I turned my back on it, and I couldn't bear to look at it.

"Father, next time, let the sons test the medicine for their father!" Li Zhi seemed to see it for the first time, and said busily.

Li Shimin drank the medicine, and Mei Niang wiped his mouth for him and took a piece of candy. Looking up at the room full of palace maids and eunuchs, he waved his hand. The big eunuch hurriedly called all the people out again, and Mei Niang was about to go out with a bowl, but Li Shimin left behind, and there were only four of us in the hall.

"Come here, it's so far away, I'm tired of talking." I heard him say that I was a little unaccustomed to it, but thinking about it, Li Zhi is here, Mei Niang is here, and he said me again, but I am afraid that they will be scared to death. We were all gathered around the couch, and he motioned for us all to sit down, and we all knelt before him, no different from kneeling, but it was true that we would speak much more clearly, and we would not be afraid of being heard outside the door.
