Chapter Seventy-One: Reminiscing about the Past (I)
Wen Cang chased after him all the way, but he didn't realize that he had reached the outside of the city.
"Wait!" Wen Cang shouted behind Youwei.
Youwei turned around and saw that Wen Cang was the only one, and asked, "Why are you alone?" ”
Wen Cang said: "You rode away my horse, there is only one horse left, I am afraid they will chase after me in the carriage." ”
Young Weiler stopped his horse, and Wen Cang hurriedly caught up and said, "I haven't seen you riding a horse before, so I didn't know you were riding so well." ”
Youwei said: "In the past, it would not be, but Bianliang is thousands of miles away from Linglong Villa, and we can only ride forward." Later, I learned the mental mantra left by Liu's predecessors, and his skills are improving day by day, and his breath and strength can be controlled freely, so what is it to ride a horse? ”
As soon as this statement came out, Youwei regretted it.
In the past, when I watched other people's heroes save beauty, the beauties were as soft as boneless, they didn't know martial arts at all, and they would fall off on horseback, which gave the hero the opportunity to save the beauty. If you can do everything, how can you get close to your sweetheart?
What can I do? Is it too late to fake a fall?
Wen Cang saw that Youwei's face was red and white, and she didn't speak, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
Youwei flashed her gaze, didn't dare to look at him, only stared at the line between heaven and earth, and said, "Brother Wen, do you dare to race with me?" ”
Wen Cang smiled: "Don't dare, I don't dare." If I fall, Brother Yu won't beat me to death? ”
Youwei was still angry and said, "He? Hmph, don't mention him! ”
Wen Cang said: "Actually, he cares about you the most, he has his persistence, and it is all for your good." ”
Youwei said: "Do you see that Aunt Gongsun and Yuan Zhiwang are suffering from lovesickness and don't help them?" ”
Wen Cang said: "Don't worry, in my opinion, let's go to the nearest post next to Xiangzhou and wait for them." If he wants to explain, aren't you curious what he wants to say? ”
Wen Cang's tone of voice sounded really soft and touching to Youwei.
Youwei's anger calmed down and she said, "Okay, then I'll listen to what he has to say." ”
Wen Cang smiled: "This is good." ”
With the word "good", Youwei was so excited that she almost lost her mind and fell off the horse.
But in fact, Wen Cang had no intention of teasing the little girl, he treated Youwei the same as Wen Dai, but he regarded her as a little sister of his relatives.
Wen Cangti slipped the reins, straightened the horse's head, and said, "Let's go slowly, wait for them, okay?" ”
Youwei lowered her head and didn't answer, but just followed behind Wen Cang obediently on a horse.
Wen Cang was selfless in his heart, but he felt that Yu Yao's sister was a little cute, which couldn't help but remind him of the days when he and Wen Dai were dependent on each other in Linglong Villa.
Over there, the carriage carried Yu Yao, Xi'er, and Mi'er all the way to the post station.
Yu Yao got out of the carriage, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wen Cang and Youwei sitting at a table on the outermost side, and there was only a pot of tea on the table, obviously just arriving.
Xi'er was informed, and said, "Our sisters will feed the horses first. ”
Yu Yao nodded and said, "Come back for dinner soon." ”
Xi'er and Mi'er said, "Obey." ”
Yu Yao put on a smiling face, stepped forward, and said, "Oops! It's better to come early than to come at a good time, you've all ordered, right? I'm just in time to start eating! ”
Wen Cang said: "Brother Yu, you are indeed coincidental enough, you will be able to eat it immediately." Why can't Xi'er and Hazy'er come? ”
Yu Yao said: "They said that they would go and feed the horses grass first. ”
Wen Cang said: "This kind of trivial matter, just leave it to the people at the post station, why go by yourself?" You brothers and sisters will talk first, and I'll go and call them both back. ”
Wen Cang said as he got up and left.
Yu Yao snickered in his heart, originally thought that Wen Cang was simple-hearted, maybe he really wanted to call Xi'er and Hao'er over at this time, but who knew that he just wanted to find an excuse and hid out himself.
When did this stupid melon get the hang of it? Could it be that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black?
Yu Yao wanted to sit down beside Youwei.
Youwei was holding a coarse porcelain teacup, drinking, and she didn't even raise her head.
Yu Yao said in a low voice: "Okay, there is no one else at the moment, I will tell you the truth." You have to understand that you are not really the eldest princess of Yong'an, and we can't do too much under the banner of Yong'an. ”
Youwei put down the teacup and said, "In such a situation, such a pitiful two people, if Yong'an is here, they will definitely help." ”
Yu Yao shook his head and said, "Yong'an won't." ”
Youwei said: "Then tell me, why?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Although you are not a princess, you have also read books. Do you know Empress Wu Zetian? ”
Youwei said: "How can I not know this. ”
Yu Yao said: "Do you know why she was able to become the queen of the Tang Dynasty from the monk nun of Ganye Temple in the first place?" ”
Youwei thought for a while and said, "Isn't it that Queen Wang saw that Concubine Xiao Shu was favored and took the lead in having a prince, so she took her out of Ganye Temple to share her favor?" ”
Yu Yao said: "And then? ”
Youwei said: "Then ...... She was favored alone, and soon Li Zhi no longer had the position of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in his eyes. Later, Li Zhi deposed Queen Wang and made her queen. ”
Yu Yao shook his head and said, "You think about this matter too simply. You're thinking of someone wrong. ”
Youwei was puzzled and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Tang Gaozong Li Zhi." ”
Youwei was still puzzled and asked, "What about him?" ”
Yu Yao said: "The dispute between Wu Zetian and Queen Wang is not as simple as the harem for favor, behind this is the dispute between Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji, and the deeper level is the dispute between the Shi clan and the Shu clan. Although Li Zhi was supported by the eldest grandson Wuji, he was finally able to win the position. But Li Zhi's mind is by no means willing to become a puppet of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he has his own governance ambitions. The most important of these is to suppress the power of the big families in the court, and then support the children of the Han family who have gained fame through the imperial examination, that is, the Shu clan. ”
Youwei was confused, she had never been told in the history books!
Yu Yao continued: "The eldest grandson Wuji is the most powerful supporter of the scholar clan in the court, and Empress Wang is a high-ranking family like the Taiyuan Wang family, one of the five surnames and seven clans, from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, which can produce many people, which is very prominent. Therefore, Li Zhi's abolition of Queen Wang is not only because Queen Wang is not favored, but because behind Queen Wang is the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Zhi's move after the abolition was originally aimed at his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji. At this time, Wu Zetian, who was not from the Guanlong clan, became the best candidate for queen in Li Zhi's hands. ”
Youwei was puzzled and asked, "You said so much, what does this have to do with today's matter with Aunt Gongsun?" Is it because of the difference between the surnames of the eldest grandson and the grandson? ”
