Crown Tang emperor

So after asking his family to lead Li Jingyi out from the side door, Li Longji ordered to rearrange the nave as soon as possible, while he hurried to the front hall, not daring to let the distinguished guests sit for a long time.

They met each other for a short greeting, and with Li Jingyi's previous foreshadowing, Li Longji no longer showed too much enthusiasm, but when Zhang said that he took the initiative to talk about it, he was greatly disappointed.

"A few days ago, my son visited Shicui Museum to show off some beautiful articles in court. I read them and felt that my teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and they were very beautiful. Then I asked for a visit in the shop, but I couldn't see them for a long time. It was rumored that there were many treasures in the palace of the king. Cuiguan’s anthology is a fine collection, literary addiction seduces me, I really can’t help it, so I take the liberty to come here to ask, and I ask the king to give me a favor.”

While talking, Zhang Shuo took out a book list and handed it in.

Li Longji raised his hand to take the book list, looked down to hide the disappointment in his heart, but quickly adjusted his mood and raised his head and said with a smile: "Such an obsession with elegance, Xiao Wang is also happy with the beauty of adults. Please wait a moment, Li Lang, I will write first People went into the warehouse to look for it."

While speaking, he walked out of the living room slowly and told his family to look for the anthology, but deliberately left a few of them.Although Zhang Shuoyan came to ask for the anthology, but because of his position and reputation, as long as he reveals his meaning, no one in the world would dare not rush to offer it for appreciation, so why do he have to do it himself?

So it's not necessarily that I'm wrong, it's just that Zhang said that the position is more prominent and the sensitive season is about to pay homage to the prime minister. Of course, all his thoughts can't be as eager and straightforward as Li Jingyi revealed, so he used the borrowed book as a cover.Once borrowed and repaid, friendship is naturally cultivated between exchanges, and all subsequent things will follow suit.

With such expectations in mind, Li Longji took the anthology found by his family and returned to the hall to present it to Zhang Shuo. Zhang said he would thank him after receiving it, and then got up to leave and leave regardless of the enthusiasm of King Linzi to keep him.

Although Zhang said that he came suddenly, went quickly, and didn't even enter the middle hall, Li Longji didn't feel disappointed. He only felt that this was the attitude he should have when he was planning big things.

Similar to Li Jingyi's overly eagerness and a weak posture of asking for others, he fell to the bottom.Therefore, I am also full of expectations for the in-depth communication with Zhang Shuo next.

Just when he was looking forward to continuing to develop his personal friendship with Zhang Shuo, the time soon came to the end of May.

This time, the sage will officially announce the transfer to the Eastern Capital and determine the team to stay in Chang'an.Originally, he was supposed to leave in mid-May, but the sudden death of Tubo Tsampo happened, and the sage stayed in Beijing for a few more days to understand the development of related events and make follow-up arrangements.

Because the transfer was imminent, the atmosphere was relaxed while the ministers were waiting for the train, and they were already imagining the scenery of the trip to Dongdu.However, when Zuo Taichung Cheng Wang begged and entered the train with a Zhuyi Faguan, it inevitably caused a commotion, and people speculated that this was planning to participate in the impeachment of some high-ranking official.

Not to mention the stern Wang Qiuli, the court meeting proceeded step by step after the monarchs and ministers entered the palace.

The first announcement was that the privy envoy Guo Zhiyun, as the envoy of Fengjia Zhidun, led the soldiers of the Beijing camp to guard the holy cavalry eastward along the way and arranged for relevant activities.

Then there are the members who stayed in Chang'an, the former prime minister Li Zhaode Jia Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Guozijian Jijiu Wang Fangqing turned to Yongzhou Changshi, Ying Guogong Hei Chi Changzhi was the commander of the Beijing camp, and the three stayed in Chang'an, Zhiwen Wushiji.

After several major personnel events were announced, Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Qiuli stepped out of the shift and went straight to the hall to worship. Illegal..."

Li Longji was also guessing who Yu Shitai was targeting, but after hearing Wang Qiuli's words, cold sweat broke out in an instant, and he froze on the spot. .

Chapter 1024 The eldest son is ashamed, I can hardly excuse myself

As Wang Qiuli came out to participate in the performance, the entire hall fell silent for a moment, and all the officials looked awe-inspiringly sideways, and there was unavoidable turmoil in their hearts.

The reason why they were so shocked was not only that Yushitai directly pointed the finger at Zhang Shuo, the most popular person in the dynasty, but also because Wang Qiuli's accusation brought back the memories of the officials more than ten years ago almost instantly. An era of political turmoil.

Especially for some courtiers who personally experienced the period of the late Wu Zhou period when they fought against the two capitals, there was always an indescribable and deliberately avoided sadness in their hearts, even when they were alone in private, they didn't want to think too much about it.It is really the chaotic and turbulent world full of conspiratorial and coup d'état atmosphere, which is a kind of torture for everyone who is in it and has a stake in it.

Although the Kaiyuan New Dynasty was established in the chaos of the dilapidated family and country, the chaos was quickly ended and the order was rebuilt under the hard work of the monarchs and ministers to save themselves.

From the first year of Kaiyuan to the present, although there have been adjustments and changes in the personnel structure, the rectification of officials and the reform of the system in the court, there have been no major rebellious cases that can make the masses pay attention and destroy the entire atmosphere of court affairs. .

Although Wang Qiuli's impeachment speech did not assert treason, but only said it was illegal, but the important minister of Taiwan Province visited Zongwang's private residence at night. Full of associations.

In the main hall, after listening to Wang Qiuli's performance, the saint's expression didn't change significantly, but he turned his gaze to Zhang Shuo, the minister of rites in the court.

Zhang said that his expression was a little nervous and cramped at the moment. As soon as Wang Qiuli's words fell to the ground, he stepped out sideways and walked into the hall. There is still Qu Yin, I respectfully ask you to report straight."

Without waiting for the sage to respond, Wang Qiuli said in a serious tone: "Since the matter was heard on the Xiantai, the officials tended to listen to the officials in the palace, so I have to go to the criminal department to inquire. The solemn place of the court is not for criminals to beg for mercy. The land! There are still two people involved in the incident, and the superiority and inferiority are limited, and the minister dare not call the name to expose it, so I ask the other people to come out and confess."

At this moment, the courtiers also looked at the several Banliezong kings one after another.Those scrutinizing gazes passed over him, and Li Longji felt as if there were sharp arrows piercing through him, and there was only a strong burning anxiety.

Although he has a lot of daily thoughts, in the few years when he just joined the WTO, he even imagined whether he would encounter such frame-up accusations under his melancholy, but in recent years, with the stability of the current situation, he has gradually relaxed his mind. So much so that when Zhang Shuo came to visit, he didn't realize the sensitivity of this matter, and he was even looking forward to continuing to make friends with Zhang Shuo.

Wang Qiuli's impeachment was just a big shock to the ministers, but to Li Longji, the shock also exploded all the panic and anxiety he had in the past years, making him realize that malice is always lingering around him. There are wicked eyes staring at him coldly!

Too many emotions rushed into his heart at this moment, so that he completely lost the ability to control himself, the panic on his face was completely undisguised, and the cold sweat that gushed out continued to roll down his face.So much so that he hadn't come out to admit it, the officials had already realized what Wang Qiuli said and Zhang said that it was the Linzi king who visited at night.

The crowd's watching made Li Longji feel even more pressured. Although there was still reason in his heart reminding him that he should go out to work at this time, and there was no way to escape, but his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and he just stood there. Not moving at all.

The saints in the hall naturally also noticed the terrified look of King Linzi, like a timid and innocent young deer, without the demeanor of a palace warrior in the original history.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong couldn't help but feel emotional, no matter what kind of character or talent, after all, it still needs to be created by the current situation.Right now, Li Longji has not experienced the real test of hardship. When faced with a real crisis, he behaves a little at a loss and doesn't know how to deal with it.

Although this boy is still stubborn in his nature, which is why this series of accidents occurred, but today's world has neither the experience of the Zhongzong Dynasty for several years, nor the growth of his father Li Dan standing in front of them. Wind and rain.But today's Kaiyuan era is very different from the Zhongzong Dynasty. At least Li Tong's control over the general situation of the dynasty is beyond the reach of his third uncle Li Xian.

Li Longji did not come out of the shift for a long time, and the atmosphere in the courtroom was also a little bit stalemate for a while. Just as Wang Qiuli gradually became impatient and was waiting for the roll call, he finally stepped out of the shift slowly. Kneeling down on the side of the train, he said in a hoarse and low tone: "What Wang Zhongcheng said is true. The minister, the minister did receive Zhang Lilang's visit at the mansion the night before, but, but the words of each other did not touch the law. I risk my life." ...The family is stubborn and foolish, and enjoys the blessings of heaven, how dare, how dare you make a plan to violate the criminal law, please, I beseech you saints to believe that the minister has no intention of disobedience!"

Such a matter, no matter how straight or wrong it is, it is of course impossible to make it clear to the public.Without the sage's opening to respond, Wang Qiuli interrupted King Linzi's pleading in the hall, and then asked the sage to discuss the matter with the three divisions.

The so-called three divisions are the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yushitai and Dali Temple. Whenever there is a major case in the imperial court, the chiefs of the three divisions will jointly try and judge it.But now that the transfer is imminent, some courtiers have already rushed to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to set up a business framework, including the chief of the criminal department.

So after pondering for a while, the sage ordered Li Qiao, the servant of Zhongshu, to lead him, to join Zhongshu Sheren, his subordinate Shizhong and Yushi, to try the matter as soon as possible and come up with a trial result.

This great dynasty at the end of May came to an end.Because of Zhang Shuo's night visit to the King of Linzi, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly became serious again.

The ministers also paid a lot of attention to this matter, and their opinions were discussed a lot. The opinions mainly focused on Zhang Shuo's complacency and Linzi King's lack of discipline.

If it was said that these two private meetings were really planning some rebellious plan, no one would believe it.It's not that these two people are noble, honest and selfless, the key is the current national situation, how stupid is it to think that there is room for conspiracy and tricks to breed?

But even if they were not involved in treason, the masses still had a negative attitude towards the activities of the two people at the night party.King Zong and his ministers had very little contact with each other. Even if King Zong himself served in the court, he could deal with it in the official office.

In the past few years, although this taboo has not deliberately emphasized norms, it has remained calm.Now, because of the sudden turmoil caused by this pair of guys, after being shocked with the court officials, they are more angry that these two people are causing trouble for nothing. stable.

Not to mention the courtiers' discussions about this, the case itself was questioned very quickly.After all, putting aside the sensitive factors involved, the case itself is actually very simple, and can be explained clearly in a few sentences. It is nothing more than Zhang said that there was a commotion among literary worms, and he went to the mansion to borrow books, and then left after borrowing them.

It's just that with such a high judgment standard, it is of course impossible to only listen to the confessions of these two people.

The Xiaosansi led by Li Qiao was very conscientious in their work. Not only did they summon their respective family members for interrogation, but even the Fangqu households where the residence of the King of Linzi lived were also summoned for interrogation one by one to confirm all the confessions. After everything was clearly matched, the case was recorded and submitted.

During the interrogation of the case, Zhang said that he was honest and cooperative, and his attitude was commendable. He clearly explained his motives and deeds, including when and where he talked about articles with others, and was told that Linzi Wangfang Mansion had a rich collection of books. He even made very detailed notes on the few books he borrowed, which is enough to prove that he did not intend to use this to woo the King of Linzi.

But relatively speaking, King Linzi has some problems here.For example, when Zhang said to borrow books, there were obviously in the mansion, but he told his family not to keep them.

If this incident can also be explained as that he loved those books very much and refused to part with them, then before Zhang Shuo entered the mansion, Li Jingyi was in the mansion and left in a hurry through the side door. How to explain?

Li Jingyi was also unlucky, he was also summoned to the Criminal Division for interrogation after suffering such an innocent disaster.

For Li Longji, his biggest problem was not meeting Zhang Shuo in the mansion, but secretly manipulating the selection of his sister for marriage.Whether it is suggesting that the disciples manipulate the public opinion in the market, or meeting with Li Jingyi to discuss how to promote it in the court.

Although Li Jingyi is not in the position, it is not a taboo to visit the king of Linzi, but the topics they talked about inevitably involve personnel relations in the court. Disputes and disputes.

Because something needs to be concealed, the account of the case will inevitably be vague, not as clear and straightforward as Zhang said.

Therefore, Li Longji was also complaining in his heart. After being shocked in the court hall, as his mood gradually calmed down, he guessed that this turmoil was most likely directed at Zhang Said: Some people don't want Zhang Shuo to enter the Zhengshi Hall to pay homage to the Prime Minister , so he took the initiative to report and expose the matter to Yushitai.

But unfortunately, when he was figuring out all kinds of schemes, from this point of view, he was deeply affected by Zhang Shuo. This is not a good friend worth making, but a disaster star!

Now Zhang Shuo explained the matter frankly, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only explain briefly, and try his best to cover up the personnel issues discussed with Li Jingyi.As for whether he can cope with the past, that can only be resigned to fate.

The sage will move soon, so naturally he will not dwell on this matter too much. On the third day after the end of the Great Court Meeting, the results of the case trial will be submitted, and several important officials will be convened in the Yanying Hall to discuss the punishment of the several people involved. punish.Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Li Jingyi and other people involved were all outside the hall, anxiously waiting for the final verdict.

After Li Tong read the summary of the case in the hall, he passed it on to several important officials present for circulation. After pondering for a while, he said, "Go and call Zhang Shuo in."

Not long after, Zhang Shuo walked into the hall, his face was a bit haggard, but his spirit was still good, and after entering the hall, he greeted the sinners and bowed down.

Li Tong looked down at Zhang Shuo, feeling quite emotional in his heart.Zhang said that he is flexible and sophisticated, and this is one of his strengths. If he were replaced by other Taiwan ministers, he might not be willing to cooperate in this way.Li Tong also hopes that Zhang Shuo can take advantage of this incident to increase his self-defense, so that he can avoid falling into the same pit again after he really becomes the prime minister in the future.

There was no dialogue between the monarch and his ministers. Soon after the circulation of several important officials, they also wrote their opinions on a note and handed it back. After reading it, Li Tong looked down at Zhang and said: "The location of Taiwan Province is confidential. Yasi, you need to be cautious in everything you do. Although there is no serious crime involved in this visit, there is indeed a ban on interference, two ranks, a one-year salary penalty, and being appointed Sima of Lingzhou. Does Zhang Daoji have any objections?"

"I don't dare to disagree, thank you for protecting me and not abandoning my humble minister!"

Zhang said that after hearing the words, he quickly kowtowed his head to thank him. Although he said that he was hinted by the sage in doing so, what would happen to him afterwards?Knowing the result right now, although I feel a little lost in my heart, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was a member of the Ministry of Rites, and he had just presided over the imperial examination. He was already one step away from the Zhengshitang, but in the end, he was assigned Bianzhou Shangzuo right away. It would be a lie to say that he would not lose.

But at the same time, Zhang Shuo was also secretly rejoicing, knowing that the saint's love for him had increased.

Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, and Lingzhou is located in Shuofang, the official position of Sima in Lingzhou is very useful, whether it is the logistics support during the war, or the punishment and resettlement of the Turkic remnants after the war. Excellent, naturally a strong stroke on the resume, it is not a fantasy to return to court in two or three years, and it is even very possible to pay homage to the prime minister in one fell swoop!

Seeing that Zhang said he accepted the order respectfully, Li Tong nodded slightly.

Zhang Shuo is best known by later generations for his reputation as a great writer in the literary world, but those who can wrestle with Yao Yuanchong, the famous prime minister of Kaiyuan, will naturally not be so one-sided in terms of talent.In history, Zhang Shuo was prominent both inside and outside, and he had meritorious deeds. He was one of the representative figures in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Letting Zhang Shuo become the Prime Minister at the moment is just an additional position in the Zhengshitang, and it doesn't play much.At the moment, Shuofang also needs a competent minister in charge of logistics and civil affairs to cooperate with Zhang Renyuan's grand campaign plan, and Zhang said it is a good choice.

After dealing with Zhang's theory, Li Tong did not call the King of Linzi directly, but looked at the officials and said, "What kind of punishment should the King of Linzi punish? If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up."

Different from the treatment of the courtiers, the king of Linzi is more sensitive as his family is close to his family, so even if everyone has any thoughts, they can't speak out without any scruples if they don't know the holy will.

In the end, it was Li Qiao, the Minister of Zhongshu who bore the brunt, stood up and replied: "The king of Linzi has lost his integrity and perverted his ethics. If he does not punish him severely, he will not be able to warn the country!"

Although during the interrogation process, he tried his best to conceal the relationship between the Korean and Chinese personnel that Li Jingyi discussed, but Li Longji's idea of ​​wanting his own sister to marry Tubo could not be concealed, and he was still interrogated.That's why Li Qiao made this speech.

"Undecided matters are not enough to judge crimes. The evil spirits in Linzi Wang's mansion are rampant, and they want to use the blood of the clan to please Xibo. Although the plan is perverted, it is not responsible for the matter. As the head of the Bang family, I am ashamed of this situation. Evil ones are also to blame. Only the King Xiang died, so I beg you to allow me to follow my feelings. The King of Linzi will be deprived of his official position, no longer perform his duties, and will be imprisoned in the workshop. Do you think it is okay?"

Everyone heard that the sage had made such a decision, so they didn't say anything more, they just felt that the sage was still benevolent, and even King Linzi's Juelu fiefdom was not reduced. I can be a wealthy and leisure king in Beijing with peace of mind.

While announcing the punishment of King Linzi, the sage also set the tone for Tubo's envoy request for marriage, that is, he would never abandon his daughter-in-law to please foreigners.After arriving in the Eastern Capital, the officials can follow this tone and continue to discuss how to manage the Tubo issue.

Of course, the saint's true heart is not as grand and bright as the officials thought.If it was just a simple warning to King Linzi, it would be enough to punish Wang Renjiao and his son based on what the internal guards found out.

But now they went around and launched an attack directly in the court, which can be said to have completely blocked the channel for the relationship between the king of Linzi and the court.The grand trial of the people of the square, so that the residents of Hefang can become eyes and ears, and they will inevitably pay attention to and be more vigilant about the personnel transactions of the Linzi King's residence in the future.

As for wanting to make relatives and sisters get married, although it is not conclusively considered a crime, it also caused a human dilemma similar to social death to a certain extent.

Li Tong has never claimed to be kind. Whether it is Li Longji as the son of his fourth uncle Li Dan in the real situation, or the vigilance that this kid did in history, he will not treat this cousin completely. Take no precautions.Either do not make a move, or a move is a comprehensive blockade and suppression.

The two main people have been dealt with. As for Li Jingyi, who was involved in the incident, it is much simpler.

This person's political future in Li Tong's place has come to an end. This time he took the initiative to cause trouble, Li Tong didn't want to kill them all, but ordered him to be seized of his rank and salary, removed from the front rank of the halberd, and kept a fifth-rank official salary to retire with peace of mind.

In the end, the two of them were not able to be summoned into the palace, and they only worshiped outside the palace to receive orders, and then left the palace in a daze.

Chapter 1025 The scenery is always there, and people have their time

The turmoil in the court has not subsided, and the inner palace is still busy preparing for the transfer to the Eastern Capital.

This trip to Luoyang, the eastern capital, will take at least a year and a half to live. Packing up all kinds of utensils and materials is definitely a huge project.The courtiers and eunuchs have been busy for several months, and when it comes to the stage of departure, they are still checking and counting nervously, lest they miss something.

Although things were extremely complicated, the busy palace people still enjoyed it.While dealing with the affairs at hand, many people have already begun to imagine the scenery on the way to the east.

For these palace officials and eunuchs who serve in the palace, the world within the palace wall is almost all the space in their daily life.Every time they step out of the palace gate, it is an extremely rare and fresh experience for them.

In recent years, under the auspices of the empress, palace affairs have also been reformed, and a large number of palace servants have been exempted. Most of these palace servants who have been added later have also been exempted and rotated in a cycle of five to ten years.

Although the Shengren's family does not advocate extravagance and ostentation in their daily life, there are nearly [-] people in total in the two palaces in Beijing and the other palaces.

So many palace officials and eunuchs do not completely focus on the food and living of the sage's family, the maintenance of the palace garden, gardening, weaving, horses in the inner stables, and eagle and dog breeding. occupied most of them.

There are also different supplementary channels for different palace affairs, the main sources are generations of official slaves, family members of prisoners who have been convicts into officials, and prisoners of war increased by wars of all parties.

These compulsory palace labors are mainly engaged in the manual labor of the lower classes.As for the management of palace affairs and the staff serving the sage's family, there are other choices.

In addition to the servants of the inner court who have been adopted in the palace for generations and have higher loyalty, the wives and other female relatives of noble officials in the court will also enter the palace.The imperial court will also recruit women from good families from the private sector from time to time, and give them a salary when they enter the palace.

Many people may think that the palace is just the emperor's happy place, which is full of all kinds of absurd and obscene privacy.

But this kind of thinking can't help being extreme and dark. Compared with the outer court, the inner court also has a complete and comprehensive personnel structure and management system.The empress is the mother of the country and the lord of the inner palace, and her daily behavior is not just flattering and jealous.

In the large-scale Daming Palace, there are also fixed rules for the occasions that saints go in and out every day, and there are fixed arrangements for guards and staff.For most of the people in the palace, it is difficult to see the sky up close during their service, let alone any contact and intersection.

As for those who can really enter the palace to serve, there are even fewer.Not only is the current sage diligent in state affairs and does not indulge in lust, but also because the Ouchi management system has strictly screened the personnel circle that can appear around the sage.

In history, there may be many licentious and immoral emperors who willfully messed up in the court, but it was either the end of the dynasty, or some separatist regimes, the entire state affairs were in chaos, and naturally there was no way to manage and restrain the emperor's selfish desires.

In the world, there may be some people who want to be lucky and want to offer their daughters to fight for favor, but the chances of this are much slimmer than working hard in foreign courts.

Or occasionally there are some successful stories that are small and big, but such cases often bring a lot of harm to the world and require a great price for error correction, so some good people think that This is generally the case with the inner court, and this is really a partial generalization, ignoring that in most periods of the unified dynasty, the inner court operated in an orderly manner.

Therefore, people in the inner palace can also be content with their duties. Even if there are some people who want to seek luck, the facts will gradually polish away their unrealistic ideas.

In addition to the larger scale of the house, more service personnel, and more meticulous and cumbersome rules, the life of Tianjia is not fundamentally different from that of Minjia.

Unless the emperor had more complicated political intentions, such as needing to use the power of his relatives to balance the power confrontation in the court, or to replace the heir, there were not many conflicts of interest and open and secret struggles in the inner court.

Today's sages rule the country with sincerity, and entrust all matters of internal strength to the queen.And the queen is also worthy of her family style, and she handled all palace affairs in an orderly manner, which won unanimous praise and praise from both inside and outside.

After the abolition of the Nanya Mansion Guards, if many officials had no ambitions to pursue martial arts, they did not need to enter the Guard Mansion to serve as guards.Although this is the convenience of two times, in the actual situation, it also caused the alienation between the king and the officials to a certain extent.

However, the palace system made up for this very well. Many internal and external officials sent the women in the household to the ban for several years, and then took them home.After these official women entered the palace, of course, they did not serve as cleaning and handymen. Most of them were enshrined in the inner hall or served as female officials in the palace.

Da Nei has various palace education institutions such as the Inner Literature Museum, and the officials are not worried that their daughters will be ignorant when they grow up and do not know poetry and book etiquette. The level of palace education institutions naturally exceeds that of most subjects' tutors.

This kind of palace use model is not a new creation of Kaiyuan, it already existed in the previous dynasty.

For example, in the Wude period when the Tang Dynasty was founded, many of the former Sui palace servants fled. In order to make up for the shortage of palace staff, they ordered all the ministers and families to recruit servants. Zhenguan and later continued to use it, which can be regarded as strengthening the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. liaison between affairs.Different from the mandatory ones before, the people of this world should be more active and willing to entrust the women in the household to the palace.

Of course, not all women from official families can be content with their duties and stay calm after entering the palace. Now there is such a counterexample.

"There were more than a dozen people who entered the palace together back then. When it comes to appearance and virtue, I am not the best. But the rest of the species heard that they were about to face the saints, and they were worried about their looks and trembling. I was the only one who responded appropriately and behaved properly. , so I was appreciated by Emperor Taizong Wen alone, and because of my father's death, I was granted the position of wife, and I can enjoy a residence in a courtyard in the palace, so this is here."

The Empress Dowager recently returned from Huaqing Palace. After resting for a day in the Longevity Palace in the East, she was very interested in taking a look at the former home of the Taiji Palace in the West. She pointed to a unique small house in the Forbidden West The courtyard said with a smile, with a nostalgic tone and eyebrows: "Miansheng was in the old palace in Luoyang back then. Unfortunately, the Dongdu Palace was newly built, and the old place is no longer there. The old residence in Xi Nei is still preserved."

When people grow old, they always love to tell stories and reminisce about their past.Originally, the sage planned to let the empress dowager stay in Huaqing Palace. After the holy car arrived at the rendezvous, they would go to Dongdu together, which would save them the hard work of traveling back and forth. Take a look at the personnel scenes that Fan experienced in the old year.

In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, the Empress Dowager followed the saint to Luoyang for a short stay, and fell ill after returning to Beijing.In order to allow the empress dowager to avoid the personnel disturbances in Beijing and recuperate in peace of mind, the saint ordered the expansion of the hot spring palace at the southern foot of Lishan Mountain, named Huaqing Palace, for the empress dowager to live and recuperate.

After recovering from the serious illness, the Empress Dowager's health was not as good as before, and she even failed to return to Chang'an in the first lunar new year of the tenth year of Kaiyuan.I feel that after going to Luoyang this time, I may not be able to return to Chang'an again, so I deliberately return to Chang'an before leaving to bid farewell to those scenery and scenes full of memories from the past.
