Crown Tang emperor

"What's the problem?"

At this moment, Wu Youyi has already started to think about how to make a big difference after going to Bingzhou. Hearing this, she hurriedly asked again, fearing that something might happen and make the dream come true.

Seeing Wu Youyi's expression, Li Tong laughed.Any kind of communication can be effectively carried out and become a transaction, the premise is that both parties must have urgent related demands.If you just shave your head and get hot, and you can't get a wife, let alone make trouble.

"Now that I am a new heir to the emperor's exam, the great position is suddenly enjoyed. People at that time have not looked forward to it, so they forcefully resigned from the gift. Those who know me say that I am respectful and able to keep it. Those who don't know me say that I underestimate the emperor's grace and ritual system. Who can replace this person?"

Speaking of this, Li Tong said to Wu Youyi with some embarrassment: "Especially the latter, which makes people think deeply. If a man has no power, he is no different from a lamb. Frankly speaking, I wonder if King Jian'an will laugh at me for being greedy? "

"How could it be! Since the past year, I have been trapped in this situation, like a bird in a cage looking at the sky sadly. It is human nature to think about it like your majesty, if you can tell me frankly, you are intimate."

Wu Youyi shook his head after hearing the words, and said with deep empathy.

Li Tong laughed again: "It would be great if the King of Jian'an could understand me. Now I am just like the old years in Xijing. I am a little hesitant about people and things. I don't know if the King of Jian'an taught me who to seek advice from?"

Wu Youyi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He himself was a little confused, so what wisdom would he have to teach others?

Seeing that Wu Youyi was embarrassed and speechless, Li Tong stopped embarrassing him, and continued: "I am also a little self-aware of my own talents. Rather than forcefully chasing the emptiness of being a shepherd in Anbian, it is better to stay in the Chenju and stay at dawn. Nan Ya The sixteen guards and the army of the Beiya, you are waiting for election, I only hope for one seat. Now I am afraid that the king of Wei and the others are still narrow-minded and self-respecting, and I don’t know if the king of Jian’an can help us?"

If you want benefits, of course you have to pay.There are only five major governor's mansions in the whole world. For you, I will directly give up one and settle for the second best. I just want to get one of the eighteen generals.No matter how you calculate this account, you earn it!

But although the account is quite clear, after hearing this, Wu Youyi still showed some embarrassment on his face, and said with some hesitation: "I have been out of personnel affairs for a long time, such a big plan, even if I am willing to force it, it may not be successful!"

"As long as King Jian'an is willing to speak out to help me, I will remember it sincerely. Even if it doesn't work, please remember today's lecture, and don't alienate me by making clear rules."

Li Tong wanted to become the general of the two yamen, and the biggest resistance was undoubtedly from the Wu family. If he couldn't make it, you Wu Youyi, don't blame me, it was your cousins ​​who insisted on making you my son.

"Alright, I'll try my best!"

Wu Youyi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

Li Tong also laughed when he saw this. When people make decisions, they still base their considerations on their own circumstances.Although the Conglong's merits of Fuwu Chengshi's superiority are beautiful, they are too ethereal to be followed.

Chapter 0372 the clumsy delivery, Jiao Niang entry

When Wu Youyi left Dai Wang's residence, Li Tong asked his family to pack some gifts and fill a carriage, and then sent them out as gifts to his wife and children.

Although they are only partial relatives, there are really not many men and women in their Li family who are still alive, and a little expression is the attitude that he, a future patriarch, should have.Moreover, there are too many presents received at home recently, and they can't be pushed away, and it's troublesome to organize and store them. Some of them are directly distributed to the government officials, and the rest are used to deal with these human relations.

Seeing this scene, Wu Youyi was also very pleasantly surprised. She was already prepared to return empty-handed, but she did not expect that Dai Wang would be so courteous.

Regardless of the value of the gift goods, the most important thing is this kind of intention. With this in mind, he made a special trip to let someone escort the carriage to the front of Wei Wang's residence on the opposite street, and after passing Tianjie, he turned to Shangshanfang. Wang Mansion has passed by, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of elation.

After seeing off Wu Youyi, Li Tong ordered his family to prepare for the ceremony. After staying at home for a few days, he also wanted to go out to pay a visit to his aunt, Princess Taiping.If we want to be safe in this matter, Wu Youyi alone will not work.

After Li Tong moved into Jishanfang Wang's residence, he was only separated from his aunt's residence by a sky street. Although the distance between the residences was shortened, the relationship between them seemed to be a little distant.After the fasting period was over, he kept doing all the acting and didn't go out, and his aunt Princess Taiping didn't come to the palace, which was very different from the usual casual visits.

No matter how dull he was, Li Tong realized that there was a slight sign of it, and felt that acting was almost enough, so he first visited Princess Taiping after going out.

Turning around Tianjie, entering Shangshanfang, and arriving in front of Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Tong got off his horse and climbed up the steps, about to walk into the gate, when several mansion guards rushed out of the side corridors, they didn't speak, but were a little vigilant He looked at Li Tong and his party.

"You guys are newcomers, you don't even know the king?"

Yang Sixu took a step forward and stood in front of the king.

At this time, another government official hurried over from the other side, pointed at the few government guards and scolded: "Humble-eyed Qiu Ba, you don't even know the king? The king comes and goes to the house, and he is not restricted, so there is no need to check the papers." .”

While speaking, he bowed his waist and crossed his hands again and said to Li Tong: "My lord, please forgive me, there have been a lot of guests in the mansion recently, and the entrance guards have been slightly adjusted..."

Li Tong just nodded after hearing the words, and glanced at the guests waiting to be interviewed in the left and right passages of the door, looked at the official and asked: "Then can you enter now? Is Your Highness the Princess in the mansion?"

The magistrate nodded after hearing the words, turned around and walked towards the guidance, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead without any trace.

"Sanlang, Shenzhi, why are you so haggard? Ah Lang, that idiot, hasn't known me after a few days of contact! Although it's a new story, but the old friend is far away, why is it so embarrassing!"

In the hall, Princess Taiping saw Li Tong walking in, her expression changed slightly, she came forward to look him up and down, and then sighed.

Li Tong recuperated at home for a few days. Although his energy and physical strength had recovered, he still lost a small amount of weight after being hungry for a month.

Facing Princess Taiping's concerned eyes, he sighed: "Although I have a short relationship with Huang Kao, it is inevitable that I will be hurt if I receive the legacy of my ancestors now. But in front of my aunt, there is no need to hide it, but the hurt In addition, fasting for more than a month is really torturing the body. In such a state of decline, it takes a few days to rest before I dare to come to see you."

After hearing the words, Princess Taiping sighed a few times, inevitably recalling the story of her old love and disfigurement, she dragged Li Tong to the inner hall, and turned her head to order: "Quickly prepare the king's old habits in the kitchen, tell me The front hall, I will not treat guests politely today."

After sitting down in the inner hall, Princess Taiping couldn't help asking a few words, and she was relieved to confirm that Li Tong was fine.

Li Tong didn't think that his aunt's concern was deliberately artificial. People's emotions are inherently complicated. After several years of contact and getting along, there must be mutual feelings.

As for the recent estrangement, it should be caused by the strong personality.People with stronger hearts are less good at dealing with changes in the way of interpersonal communication brought about by the sudden expensive people around them.This has nothing to do with status, there is no classmate in the world who is not embarrassed.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Tongcai said again: "When I go to the mansion today, I still have to explain a little bit about what happened a few days ago. This time, King Jian'an was appointed as the governor of the state, which is really unexpected."

After Princess Taiping heard this, her complexion was not so good, her disappointment was undisguised, and she sighed: "Yeah, I really didn't expect it. Such a big matter is decided so quickly!"

Thinking of this incident, Princess Taiping felt very upset. She got the news quite early. When King Wei and the others were still discussing together, they had already learned about this incident from his son-in-law Wu Youji, and Princess Taiping also Hence the idea.

It wasn't Li Tong who she went to look for first, after all, Li Tong was still in the Temple of Filial Piety to the Emperor at that time, so it was inconvenient to see him.Instead, she immediately went to find her uncle, Jianchang Wang Wu Youning, but Wu Youning just said that Wei Wang, Liang Wang, etc. had already made plans, and pointed out the status problems faced by Ding Wang and Governor Shi .

Communication with the Wu family was fruitless, and Li Tong had just finished his fast, so Princess Taiping naturally wanted to consult with Li Tong immediately.But it was also because of too many thoughts, coupled with the gossip of Wu Youning, including those around him, so he decided to send a message through the eldest son Xue Chongxun, hoping that Li Tong would come to discuss with her.

Originally, in her opinion, the current disputes over the court affairs were already stalemate, and with the addition of a new variable such as the acting king, it would definitely not be too early to make a decision, but she did not expect that her mother was extraordinary and pulled back. Wu Youyi, who was not easy to refuse from all parties, ended the matter straightforwardly.

Seeing Princess Taiping's expression like this, Li Tong took out the glossary that was shown to Wu Youyi in the mansion just now, and continued: "After the interrogation a few days ago, we have made a plan with the government officials. It is better to avoid the position than to just love the vacant position. Recommend talents, make King Ding perfect, and show off your long-term ambitions."

Princess Taiping took the memorandum and took a look at it. Mingyan's face was cloudy and uncertain. After a while, she lowered her head and patted her forehead, and sighed: "Be careful, you really make my aunt feel ashamed for thinking like this! If my aunt and nephew can deliver it in time Letter, discuss carefully, how can this person fall to others? Alas, it is my plan... Yes, King Jian'an came to pay homage to you today. I know that you two have old grievances. Before that, he was still carrying gifts in Fang Street Have you been ostentatious, did you make things difficult for you?"

"King Jian'an is relatively easy to talk to. King Ding can't continue, and forwarding the old ideas to him can be regarded as resolving some grievances."

A favor is sold to two families, but with his aunt, Li Tong is more frank. Even if he doesn't say anything, Princess Taiping will definitely think of it, but she will think that he is too shrewd.

"But you, Shenzhi, do you really want it? Oh, what a pity! Knowing that you have worked so hard here, you have worked so hard, but in the end, you are forced by human favor to make such a long retirement!"

Princess Taiping raised the book in her hand and said regretfully.If King Ding still had a chance and Li Tong retired, she would be sincerely grateful.

But now, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons, and feel that Wu Youyi is not worth paying so much.No matter how big and useless the governor of Bingzhou is, with his name, he can gather a lot of popularity.

Li Tong did not hide this, and said directly: "I am not withdrawing lightly, King Jian'an has promised me that he will recommend me to serve in the two yamen."

"Really? How could he? How could..."

When Princess Taiping heard this, her eyes widened, she asked three times in surprise, and looked at Li Tong in disbelief.

However, she also knows that this nephew is talented and serious, so he will definitely not joke about this kind of thing. Before Li Tong continued to explain, she couldn't help laughing, pointed at Li Tong and shook his head: "You You! Even though King Jian'an is a bit clumsy, time and time again... Sigh, I don't know what to say about you!"

Although Li Tong also smiled, he still forced himself to be serious and said: "You can't say that. The king of Jian'an has a lot of experience inside and outside. He has his own principles for doing things. As for me, I can take care of him, and I am naturally very grateful." deep."

When Princess Taiping heard this, she bent down and punched the case even more laughingly.After a while, she suppressed her smile, raised her head and lifted a few strands of hair from her forehead, looked at Li Tong seriously and said, "So, Shen Zhi, have you decided?"

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words: "But whether it will be successful or not, it is still uncertain."

"Since you have already made up your mind, then I won't say anything more. I have been able to get through all the troubles in the early years, and I have confidence in Shen Zhi's ability to adapt to things!"

Princess Taiping took another deep breath, and said: "King Jian'an is willing to speak out, and of course my aunt will help you achieve this!"

"If there is more help from my aunt, then this matter will be more certain!"

Hearing his aunt's statement, Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and decided that the time would be right later, to see if he could satisfy his aunt's wish and arrange a good position for Wang Wuyouji.If Wu Youji is brought over again, then they have initially reached a state of Li Wu's confluence, which should be a situation his grandma would like to see.

But Princess Taiping obviously had a different idea. After a pause, she pointed to Li Tong and said, "Although my family, Alang, is clumsy, he has been supported by rice for many years, but now he lives in your house for a long time. This should be done." There is a plan!"

After Li Tong heard the words, his expression was a little stiff, and he was a little bit reluctant to use his close relatives as a bargaining chip, so he said: "Auntie's heart, of course I understand it. So I don't dare to say it. In fact, the girl is not dignified, and she still needs to be treated. ..."

"If it's just that, then there's no need to talk about it. Doesn't your aunt know more about my wife's nature than you do? Don't bother you men to gossip. Since I love this lady so much, I will naturally tolerate her and educate her!"

When Princess Taiping talked about this matter again, her tone was much firmer: "If you think your cousin is miserable, then you should ask yourself whether you owe your aunt a trust? Should you teach him more carefully in the future?"

Hearing that his aunt had talked to this point, and then thinking about Xue Chongxun's licking dog, Li Tong said: "I have no objection to this matter. My aunt can discuss it with my mother. The only thing I want is, young lady." Born to be miserable, but now it is short and calm, even in matters of love, I don't want her to feel wronged at all, can you talk about it in sequence? The big thing will be settled soon, and it will inevitably shock her immature heart..."

"You don't need to worry about this. Once that lady enters my door, she is my flesh and blood. As for that clumsy boy, I will send it to your house, just please don't let him come back to disturb others!"

At this time, the family members of the Princess Mansion also brought hot meals, and Princess Taiping served the dishes herself, pointing to Li Tong and sighing: "You don't know how to cherish what you have! You hurt yourself, but you don't know It hurts so much for others to see!"

Chapter 0373 Jun's kindness is great, nine deaths are hard to report

At night, in Princess Taiping's mansion, the sound of banging from the outer court continued to enter the room.

Princess Taiping sat in the room with a peaceful expression, and there were more than a dozen maidservants in the room, each holding a gold plate remover, on which were piled up all kinds of jewelry, or gold or beads, for Her Royal Highness to choose from. .

Outside the princess case, the wet nurse Mrs. Zhang stood respectfully, and every time there was a sound of the staff hitting outside the court, Mrs. Zhang's body trembled imperceptibly.

"These vulgar utensils have nothing to boast about other than their materials! Another batch!"

After making some selections, Princess Taiping was still a little dissatisfied. She threw a tortoiseshell hair accessory in her hand back into the plate, and then said: "I heard that there are some Hu merchants from the Kang Kingdom entering the market recently. After two days, arrange for them to bring the goods." Enter the residence. If there is a market to sell, first recover it, and then enter the market after selection."

After she finished speaking, there was no answer in the room for a long time, so she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Zhang with some dissatisfaction.

After being watched by this gaze, Mrs. Zhang finally couldn't restrain herself, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Please Your Highness, spare those guards in the outer court...they just listen to me and the orders of the slaves, and want to let the king ..."

Princess Taiping knocked on the voucher in front of her abruptly, looked down at Mrs. Zhang, and said coldly: "My aunt has always been with me since I was born. When it comes to getting close in daily life, my parents are not so close. I never do anything when my aunt is in the mansion." Treat it as a slave. But this is just my affair with my aunt, and has nothing to do with anyone else. The acting king is Zongzhi Hidemi, who was personally chosen by the Holy Emperor and respects his heir. My credit to you?"

"Slave guilty, slave..."

Mrs. Zhang kowtowed repeatedly.

"No, you don't know! I have already said that Auntie and I are deeply in love. You and I have no crime at all. But today, if you are held accountable on behalf of the king, even if you are killed in the court, I dare not disagree. , I can only cry for you."

Princess Taiping spoke up to this point, raised her hand and ordered: "Tell the outsiders to stop, the loose gold in the cages, each of the tortured will distribute twelve taels, and sell them to visit medicine and food. It is not wrong for them to do their duty, but to stop my relatives, It’s beyond your duty, let’s go.”

After saying this, Princess Taiping stood up and felt bored when she saw the maids brought a new batch of utensils, so she waved her hands and ordered them to take them back, then went back to the inner room and went to bed, leaving only Mrs. Zhang outside. Kneel and sob.

The next day, after the court meeting, Princess Taiping ordered her family to arrange a car to drive into the palace.

At the same time, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi, who was about to leave the capital, was also summoned outside the Xishang Pavilion, and left for Bingzhou to take office.

After noon, Wu Youyi was called to the hall, he walked in, went up to attend the ceremony, and then heard the Holy Emperor ask, "Have you seen Shen Zhi yesterday?"

"I have already seen that the majesty's advising minister was appointed as the governor of the state. His kind words encouraged and comforted him. The minister is also deeply grateful and will keep it in his heart."

Wu Youyi said quickly after hearing the words.

Wu Zetian in the hall couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard this tone, a little surprised by Wu Youyi's reaction.Of course she knew that the two were related in the past, after thinking for a while, she rummaged through the cage on the side of the imperial case for a while, picked out a memorabilia and held it in her hand, then looked at Wu Youyi and said: "So, Shen Zhi's memorabilia today. Did you discuss it with you?"

"The Dai Wang has already written a letter? Sure enough, the letter is not deceiving!"

After hearing this, Wu Youyi couldn't help but exclaim a little.Although we had a happy conversation yesterday at Dai Wang's mansion, after all, the previous incident was deeply painful, and he still had some reservations about Dai Wang's words. Last night, he tossed and turned, thinking about whether he should make suggestions when he went to the palace today.Acting on behalf of the king was so straightforward, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Finally, what did Shen Zhi entrust you with doing this?"

Hearing what Wu Youyi said, Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and then asked again.

"It's not about entrustment. The old friendship between the minister and the king is deep. If the king can avoid the position and praise me, the minister should also recommend talents. The talent of the king has already seen his deeds. If he knows that he is entrusted to Xuda, it will be a bit unavoidable. It's a pity. And the king of Dai also pointed to Chen, and instead of wasting his mind in vain, he would rather stay in the palace and stay in the house. With this willpower, he can watch the night for the king and sleep peacefully, and his wish is enough."

Wu Youyi respectfully and slowly said what he had thought about last night.

After Wu Zetian finished listening, he snorted and asked again: "You think so too?"

"The minister really agrees with Dai Wang's words of loyalty and diligence."

Just as Wu Youyi finished speaking, there was a muffled bang from the imperial case, and Wu Zetian said in a cold and stern tone: "Absurd! The imperial court's high-level use is to let you apostles entrust each other and advance each other? Ask again Do you think so, too?"

Wu Youyi's body also trembled at this moment, her tone was no longer firm, Qi Qi Ai said: "I, I just relayed what Dai Wang said, Your Majesty asked about his heart, yes, I think Dai Wang, if Dai Wang can stay directly in the palace guard, yes, it is indeed true." One choice. The acting king is not a person who is unlucky, ruthless, and withdrawn. His Majesty is very kind to him.

"Get up and take your seat."

When Wu Zetian heard this, his expression did not show any satisfaction, his brows were still slightly frowned, and after Wu Youyi took the seat, he sighed again: "You used to be in Xijing, and you were troubled by personnel affairs, and you ruined your future. How many months, can you remember?"

"I remember, remember, never dare to forget, never dare to commit crimes!"

Wu Youyi hurriedly clasped her fists again and replied.

"It's good if you can remember it. The most important thing is to guard against thieves. Everything is more dangerous than Xijing! Don't think that the clan is close and seek refuge there. If there are frequent chaos and frequent crimes..."

"I don't dare, I must follow His Majesty's teachings carefully, and never commit previous crimes again!"

After Wu Youyi heard the words, she left the seat and bowed down, her head banging loudly.

"Don't say any more harsh words, and the safety of the imperial tomb's ancestral property will be paid to you. Go."

After some beatings, Wu Zetian waved his hand again and said, when Wu Youyigong retreated a few feet away, he suddenly raised his voice again: "You are the only one who avoids troubles on behalf of the king. You have the beauty of being an adult. Before leaving the capital, I have to thank you again."

Wu Youyi clapped his hands again and again, but cheered secretly in his heart, fortunately he was able to hold on to the critical moment, and believed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor had a deep regard for the Dai Wang, so he didn't deny everything in the foreword and act like a capricious villain.

Not long after Wu Youyi withdrew from here, Wu Zetian picked up the memorabilia presented today on behalf of the palace, bowed his head and meditated.

Not long after, Wei Tuan'er walked up to the hall and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness is waiting to be delivered in the side hall."

Wu Zetian raised his head after hearing the sound, nodded slightly and said, "Let her enter the palace."

"Aunt seems to be free today, and I will be able to see you after waiting for a short time."

After a while, Princess Taiping stepped into the hall and said with a smile.

Wu Zetian raised his head and watched his beloved daughter walk in, and said with a smile, "Are you also here to be cautious?"

"King Jian'an is really cautious? This kid, ha, I also think he is cheating on me."
