Chapter 119: Analyzing the Situation
Because it involves the most secret line of defense in each other's hearts, it didn't take long for this topic to stop. The scene in front of them was too beautiful, and everyone wanted to cherish these few warm moments, so the two tacitly chatted about other topics.
"I heard that since the beginning of autumn, the Tang Emperor's health has not been very good, have you ever sent a letter to greet him?" The tone of the ruler with Zhu Dan was very peaceful, like a husband who is no more ordinary in the world, and when he heard that the Yue family was sick, he casually mentioned such a sentence out of concern.
Tao Yao was still squinting lazily, like a cat that was full of sun, and she didn't even bother to stretch her paws again: "Naturally, I asked early in the morning." But apart from telling me that this is a recurrence of an old disease, that it is fine, that it will be good to take care of it for a while, and that I should not worry too much about it, how much content is left? ”
Since Li Xian has been sick for so long and has not improved, it must be Webster who controls the harem of the former dynasty. She is not the same way as those people, she will reply to herself and tell the truth before she can be a ghost. But in the final analysis, as a woman who marries out, the number of etiquette on the surface must still be sufficient. Therefore, although Tao Yao knew better than anyone else the uselessness of this routine, she still had to fully fulfill the duties and obligations of an adopted daughter of the royal family, and frequently wrote letters to concern her cheap father, who lived in the imperial city of the divine capital and was said to have been sick for a long time. Moreover, she didn't mind letting the ruler see the embarrassment of her situation. After all, as long as there is a princess with a little background, who will fall into this realm. Even if you don't have to think about it, you should know that she doesn't have a lot of weight on Datang's side.
Listening to her overly fluent relay, he couldn't help laughing on the spot: "Sure enough, it's all clichés, and you really didn't save them any face." "It stands to reason that Tao Yao and Datang are on the one side, and the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized. No matter how bad they were to her, she shouldn't let herself know. After all, such a noble girl who is not favored by the Tang royal family will more or less affect her attention in Tubo.
With Tao Yao's wisdom, Zhu Dan didn't think she would be negligent enough to forget this. But she still said it in front of herself, and even ridiculed the group of Tang people without any scruples, without even showing any affection. This feeling is as if the two of them are a group, and the others are not important at all, they are the objects of ridicule and ridicule at will. I have to say that this practice inexplicably pleases the ruler belt Zhudan, so that even those things that Fang Cai Taoyao deliberately omitted have become unimportant.
"There is such a thing as face, which should be given to each other. People don't want it themselves, so why should I cover it up for them. "If you really want to talk about it, Tao Yao looks at the ruler and bead pill more pleasing to the eye than those individuals in the Tang Palace.
At least, he is still a little sincere in his kindness, and she can feel this. And in that big dye vat in the Imperial City of the Divine Capital, what did she win in the end after several rounds and several plans? Comparing her heart to her heart, her heart, under the turn of those so-called blood relatives, has long been too cold to be transparent. The reason why she did not break the jar, but was content with the status quo and obediently married, was because she knew that her ego's wish could no longer be achieved, so she could only work hard to abandon herself and become a more selfless historical code. Perhaps God was destined to entrust her with such a terrible and great responsibility, so that she would leave her name in history. As Wu Cao's great-granddaughter, she didn't want to embarrass that great woman, so she had to straighten her waist and stick to the end. She will not let Li's name be covered in dust, even if it is to be remembered by future generations, it must not be infamy. She has her own bottom line, and she has been sticking to it all from beginning to end.
"Then in your opinion, what happened to the Tang Emperor's illness?" The ruler belt Zhudan is still quite concerned about this point. Although Li Xian is cowardly, the difference between his presence and absence is quite big. If the person is really terminally ill, or maybe he can do something in private. He will not take the initiative to tear his face, at most, he will take advantage of the fire to rob and seek some passable benefits for himself and Tubo. As for whether it can resist it, it depends on Datang's luck.
Rubbing his chin with one hand, Tao Yao pondered for a long time, but the answer he finally gave was still ambiguous: "This, about half and half." Actually, I am not completely sure about his illness. ”
When people in the world mention Li Xian, most of them have the impression of mediocrity and tolerance, cowardice and indisputability, and even some indecision. But as the concubine of Gaozong and Emperor Wu, even if his talent is not as good as that of Prince Zhang Huai, who died young, he won't fall into the mud, right? What's more, in the middle of Wu Cao's accession to the throne, when the suspicion reached its peak, how many heirs of the Li family were killed, but Li Xian, who had always been under her nose, was safe and sound, and he always sat in the position of the prince without danger. If these are just coincidences, it would be too good for Li Xian to meet him alone. And if it is not a coincidence, it means that Li Xian is actually far more thoughtful than what he showed in front of everyone. Rocks that emerge from the water are not an obstacle to navigation, and reefs hidden under the water are often the cause of destruction.
"Half and half?" Zhu Dan couldn't help frowning: "You mean, it's very likely that he is pretending?" But why did he do it? "If it's him, the good emperor sits so steadily, and he has nothing to do with pretending to be sick. Isn't this full of food, except for the panic of his own people in the country and the situation becoming more unstable, he can't see any other benefits.
"Naturally, it's not all fake." Glancing at him, Tao Yao explained helplessly: "He is definitely sick, but the severity of this is still in his hands." In my guess, he should have taken the opportunity to clean up some of the disloyal forces around him. The rhetoric of lingering on the sickbed is basically equivalent to being slaughtered by others, and those who are restless will definitely not miss it. ”
"What about the other half?" Zhu Dan heard the door from her analysis, and immediately became a lot more interested: "The other half is that he is really sick and can't control himself, so he can only mess around with others?" ”
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Tao Yao nodded her snow-white chin, but her expression was a little complicated: "But you have to know that the emperor's heart has always been the most suspicious, even if he is so sick that he can't move, do you think he will have no arrangements in advance?" "She hasn't forgotten the military power handed over by Gao Xianzhi, and she is as old as Li Xian, so she won't abandon it. So, ah, the gods are in this big quagmire, and some of them are stirring up.
