Crown Tang emperor

One is because of the awe and admiration that these palace people have for Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, so the relationship between the Crown Prince Li Xian and the Empress Dowager's mother and son is bad. Be lenient with your grandson.

Second, King Yong'an dealt with her harshly this time, which also made her full of fear, and she resisted from the bottom of her heart to have any contact with King Yong'an.

It can only be said that I was really ignorant and fearless before. I only saw the embarrassment of King Yong's family, but forgot that the blood of His Majesty the Queen Mother was also flowing on them, especially King Yong'an was worthy of being the grandson of the Queen Mother. She couldn't resist at all.

Right now, Mrs. Xu no longer has the idea of ​​fighting for victory, but the little people also have bad tastes, and she wants to see what it will be like when King Yongan faces the Queen Mother.

However, this thought is only fleeting in my mind. The empress dowager is so majestic and frightening the world for a long time, how can a king of Yong'an be compared.What's more, that level of intrigue is beyond the imagination of a low-rank female official.

Li Tong did not tell his family members about the beating of Zhang Zhi Xu's family. One thing has been completed and there is no need to add to their worries.

The inspection time did not make Li Tong wait too long.

As an old man who has been walking in the Forbidden Palace for a long time, Mrs. Xu naturally knows that she must hide her true heart and not show it to others, so she did not immediately make changes in her daily life to express her kindness, even including ordering the palace servants to monitor King Yong The whole family is as usual.

Of course, I dare not record what I saw and heard on paper, lest King Yong'an will randomly check.

Of course, she didn't do nothing. After receiving the order from King Yong'an, she finally faced up to the matter of finding the lost maidservant.

After making some inquiries with my own contacts, I found out that the lost maidservant Li Guangshun, King of Le'an, had been assigned to the Siyuan Office of the Sleeping Bureau. It is the most laborious place in the Forbidden Palace. There is always a shortage of manpower for palace servants and they never refuse anyone who comes.

Now that the other party's whereabouts are known, it will be easy to handle. Although Xu is also a demoted female official, it is not too difficult to arrange one or two low-level palace servants.Because he begged for him from Si Yuan very quickly, and sent him to the front house of Ren Zhi Yuan in person.

Chapter 0021

Li Guangshun was so emotional that he wept with joy when he saw the maidservant finally returned safely.He was abandoned by his biological mother when he was young, and he was also out of place in the family after that. This maid Zhu Niang is the closest person around him, and it is no exaggeration to say that he depends on each other for life.

It is precisely because of the mutual affection that during this period of time, it is like losing a soul, asking everyone where they are.

Although he didn't know the underlying reason behind Zhu Niang's return, he also knew that Mrs. Xu would never be so kind as to do him such a big favor for no reason.As for the family members, the aunt Fang Shi has always been very indifferent to him, the second brother Li Shouli can't be expected to help at all, and the younger sister and young mother are still ignorant.

After all the calculations, if there is really someone helping behind the scenes, it must be Li Shouyi, the third younger brother whose temperament changed drastically after returning.Although Li Guangshun didn't know what Li Tong had done, his gratitude to Li Tong was beyond words, and he took his maid, Zhu Niang, to Li Tong's residence to thank him again and again.

Li Tong didn't feel alienated and indifferent towards this elder brother because of Li Guangshun's biological mother. On the one hand, Li Guangshun was Li Guangshun, and his mother was his mother. After they left, the two had nothing to do with each other.

On the other hand, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the woman being wise and protecting herself. In this weird world, if a mother is so cruel to her son, how can she expect the husband and wife to stay together?

What's more, Li Xian did not exclusively favor Li Guangshun's mother. Since she could not provide a stable living environment, the woman chose to leave, even though it was emotionally unacceptable, it was not an unreasonable choice.

Li Tong wants to make a living in such a troubled world. It is very touching to say that he is lonely and courageous, but in fact it is extremely difficult.

Right now, all he can unite with is the bloodline family members around him. Although he can't see any specific use right now, if he is not even close within the family, how can he expect irrelevant others to help him?

For Li Guangshun's sincere thanks, Li Tong did not refuse, but looked at the slightly haggard Zhu Niang again and said: "Before, you were lost, Zhu Niang, and the elder brother worked a lot to find you. Now that you have returned safely, you should think about this." The friendship between master and servant is deep, and we will not oppose each other."

As an old person in the court, Zhu Niang is no stranger to King Yong'an, but Li Tong now is quite different from what she remembers.

Of course, now is not the time to pursue these matters. She was assigned to Siyuan for many days. Apart from working hard every day, she also misses the young master Li Guangshun deeply. thank you.

Li Tong said to Li Guangshun again: "Since Zhu Niang has come back, you might as well leave the meals in the courtyard to her. It's too inconvenient to eat outside day and night, and it doesn't look like a home."

By making this proposal, Li Tong wanted to gain more privacy in the house on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make Li Guangshun more integrated into the family.

The aunt Fang has been neglecting the eldest son of the concubine for a long time, and the long-term entanglement cannot be resolved in a short period of time, and Li Tong is not willing to bother about these parents. As long as he can truly feel that Li Guangshun is also actively participating in family affairs, how can he What deep hatred is difficult to resolve.

With the return of Zhu Niang, Li Tong now has some supernatural powers in Li Guangshun's mind. Naturally, he would not refuse this proposal, so he agreed on behalf of Zhu Niang. Accepted by the aunt and family members.

After seeing off Li Guangshun, Li Tong became thoughtful again.

Xu's actual actions proved that his previous beatings were still effective, and this small hidden danger that was close to him was temporarily resolved. The female official in charge of the Zhiren Zhiyuan did not dare to continue to make things difficult for their family.

However, Mrs. Xu personally sent Zhu Niang, but did not come to see Li Tong. It can be seen that there is still a little resistance in her heart, and she does not want to have more contact with him, or she is worried that he will push forward and make more excessive demands.

Li Tong didn't care about this either.As long as Mrs. Xu doesn't take the initiative to make trouble or resort to tricks secretly, his goal will be achieved, and he will be happy to live in peace.Besides, even if Mrs. Xu is willing to help him wholeheartedly, what she can do with her level is really limited.

Moreover, this woman is greedy, and Li Tong doesn't want to maintain any deeper interaction with her, so as not to be implicated. This kind of shallow tacit understanding is just right now.

In addition, Xu is also a source of information for him.Right now, he is in the Forbidden Palace, deaf and blind. Although he has the advantage of being familiar with the general situation, he still doesn't know much about the specific details of the era. He needs such a source of information to weigh whether he should continue to lurk or Take a chance.

Although the current family is still under house arrest, life and death are up to others, but this contact with Mrs. Xu also brought the most precious confidence to Li Tong, and he was no longer at a loss as he was at first.

Although confinement in the deep palace is not free, but on the other hand, it is a kind of protection for him.

It is now June of 688, and Wu Zetian officially proclaimed himself emperor in October of 690. During the several years before and after this, it was the most sensitive period of the Wu Zhou revolution and the most turbulent current situation.

Especially after more than two months, the great incident of the Tang clan's rebellion will occur, and even Princess Taiping's husband Xue Shao will be implicated and starved to death in prison.

Li Tong came to this era precisely because his family was implicated in the clan's conspiracy.

It was obvious that Wu Zetian didn't believe that their family had any crimes of collusion with outsiders, and they were just beating them regularly, so after Li Tong came back from the dead and presented "Ciwu Poems", he let them go so easily.

Therefore, in the series of political turmoil in the second half of the year, as long as Li Tong's family can be careful and not be implicated by foreign courts, they will have a high chance of getting through safely.

In the final analysis, their family is just a remnant of the previous turmoil, a leak in the current situation, not the most conspicuous target, and naturally they will not be on the first wave of purge list.

But this does not mean that their family is safe. During this period, cruel officials were popular. When the targets on the table were cleared, those cruel officials who were favored by framing and weaving wanted to continue to expand their achievements, and their eyes would fall on on the next-level goal.

Therefore, in 690, the first year of Tianshou, the tragedy of Li Guangshun being whipped to death occurred.

In this period, Wu Zetian, in order to go against the sky, could be said to be disowned by her relatives, gods blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas. She just needed to use cruel officials to establish her authority to change dynasties.

Li Tong can be sure that if the situation does not change, his family will not be able to escape the follow-up turmoil of cruel officials. Li Shouli, a big baby, may survive to inherit the incense by virtue of his status as the heir king, but he and Li Guangshun, a pair of troubled brothers, want to survive The possibility is very small.

Being able to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation and a general understanding of the subsequent development of the situation is one of Li Tong's advantages.For him right now, surviving is really a big goal beyond his capabilities.

He is not willing to sit still, so he needs to split this big goal into different small goals, and see which step he can achieve.Every step is a step of joy, a step of strength.

Wu Zetian's power now shrouds the sky, but in the old year when he was in trouble at Ganye Temple, even in his dreams, he never dared to think that he could become a generation of empress.

Improving the short-term situation of himself and his family, and solving the hidden dangers of the female officials around him, Li Tong has achieved these two small goals, and the reward is that in the next Tang clan's turmoil, there is a high probability that his family will be able to stay out of the way and not be disturbed , get a relatively stable life.

Then, what we need to do next is to integrate into this era as soon as possible, enrich our general understanding of the framework of this era through a series of details, and at the same time wait and find new opportunities to strengthen ourselves and improve our circumstances.

To understand the details of an era, at least in terms of daily life, food, words and deeds, people will not be regarded as different. For example, the success of beating Zhangzhi Xu this time is based on the understanding of details.

In fact, if it wasn't for Li Shouyi's embarrassing identity and situation, Li Tong would be quite confident that he would integrate into the life of the Tang Dynasty.The collation of data based on work is only one aspect, and the other is his accumulation of professional knowledge.

Li Tong University majored in Chinese language and literature, and when he was a graduate student, he focused more on the field of ancient poetry in ancient literature.When it comes to ancient poetry, Tang poetry is a mountain that cannot be ignored.

Although the predecessors have made great achievements in academic research, Li Tong also knew the difficulties when choosing a topic and quit the more obscure aspects, but even out of interest, he still has a good understanding of Tang poetry.

With these accumulations, if you change your status, even if you can't get a high political position, it's not difficult to be a poet and prose. Everywhere you go, you will be treated like that. After all, the Tang Dynasty is a country of poetry.

However, this kind of time travel is inherently accidental, and it is difficult to be perfect.From another perspective, although he is currently in a dangerous situation and faces political persecution all the time, at least his daily necessities of food and clothing are guaranteed.

If you start with a humble identity, freedom is freedom, but you drink a sip of cold water, and you die of malaria before you are fucking famous, who is to blame?

Although the current obscurity is a kind of protection, Li Tong also understands that he cannot be satisfied with it for a long time. Without a sense of existence, it means that life and death are irrelevant.No one cares whether it is dead or alive, so living is not much different from being dead.

Just like Li Guangshun who was whipped to death in later generations, if it weren't for his father Li Xian, he would not be remembered in history at all.

Li Tong needs a sense of presence, and is not satisfied with merely being Li Xian's youngest son.But in this deep palace, it is not easy to get a sense of presence without arousing Wu Zetian's vigilance.

What Li Tong can think of and do right now is a safer and more efficient method. It is a literary copy. Through the praise of poems and prose, the world will realize that the prince Li Xian actually has a son, and he is also a handsome and handsome man. Choi's talented and amazing son!

Li Tong can recite a small part of "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty". It is true that his talent is amazing.As for being handsome and beautiful, although everyone has different aesthetics, it is still open to discussion, but at least Li Tong sees it this way, his life is at stake, so why should he be ashamed?

Only by throwing away the integrity, life will have a broader space and endless possibilities.Human potential is unlimited, and the only thing that can limit the future is self-limitation!Li Shouyi, a beautiful man from the Tang Dynasty, regarded this sentence as the most reasonable.

Taking a step back, even if he still failed to reverse his fate in the end and was unable to escape death, he also hoped that he could leave a more glorious and rich image for future generations.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty slaughtered many ministers, and Xue Daoheng was able to make an extra note because of "empty beams and swallow mud", which can be regarded as a kind of success.The young king does not live long, and the poets are sad, so the prosperous Tang Dynasty has less color, so it is quite interesting to think about it.

Chapter 0022

Of course, try not to die if you can not die, especially don't take the initiative to die.

Although Li Tong had made up his mind to take the line of writing and copying, he also knew that the current situation was sensitive and intolerant, especially when he just slapped Xu's directly through the word splitting trick, and he felt very deeply about this.

Right now is the period when cruel officials are rampant. Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and a large number of Luozhi talents are active in the Luoyang political situation. When it comes to frame-up methods, these talents are professional.

Today's Li Tong still lacks a sense of presence and cannot attract the attention of those mad dogs, but if he really rises to fame and let people know his existence, we have to guard against those cruel officials who frame addiction, lest the literary prison be staged on himself.

Moreover, while copying poems, Li Tong must also pay attention to his own identity and circumstances. Poems that are beyond his own experience and feelings, no matter how amazingly talented and famous, he must never copy them casually.

It was not because he was worried that he would not be able to defend himself when he was questioned by others, but because he wanted to prevent Wu Zetian from mistakenly thinking that he had any connection with the outside world.

Five-flowered horses, thousands of gold, Hu'er will exchange for fine wines, and sell the eternal sorrows with you.This poem is bold and unrestrained, and it will amaze the world when it is written, but the question is who are you drinking with, and who are you drinking with?Take your time, think carefully, and seriously, what worries are you selling?

Don't be caught and stabbed at the end, and you will be ridiculed before the execution: can you be more like "sell the eternal sorrow together"?Then I really want to cry without tears.

After substituting these restrictions, although the chapters of Tang poems are as prosperous as the sky full of stars, there are not many that are really suitable for Li Tong at the moment.

After sending Li Guangshun away, Li Tong walked into the pavilion in the courtyard while thinking.

It has been a while since his family lived in Ren Zhiyuan, and the garden cleaning has been basically completed. It is no longer as dilapidated and messy as when he first came here, with small bridges, flowing water, and dense bamboo forests.Only the flower garden next to the pavilion was originally cluttered and old flowers were mostly eradicated, but new flowers and trees had not been transplanted in time.

There was a heavy rain in the afternoon, and the sky and the earth were as fresh as washing. Only a few isolated branches in the garden stood obliquely, and bees and butterflies even seldom visited.Although the decoration in the pavilion is small, it is still mainly simple, with gauze covering the windows and two seats.

Regarding the living environment, Li Tong did not have too high requirements. The reason why he frequently sent people to ask for treasures from the palace treasury before was to dig a hole for Mrs. Zhangzhi Xu, and the other was to be curious about the current artifacts.

After playing with those utensils, he satisfied his interest, and Mrs. Xu also successfully bought them. In the past few days, Li Tong ordered people to send them back one after another.

Food is not expensive, and use is not luxurious. Compared with his peers in his previous life, he was considered a relatively successful person, but he only lived in a single apartment provided by his unit, and he was not willing to combine his current daily interests with future life values. Bundle overdrafts on a property.

Also because of this, his so-called success is discounted in the eyes of others. He doesn't even have real estate, so what kind of success is it?

Success as defined by others does not have much influence and restriction on Li Tong. He can do his duty at work and have more than enough leisure in life. His interests mainly focus on ancient literature, which is just for his own enjoyment and daily pastime. What self-contained and unique insights, and do not want to argue with others about the merits of right and wrong, flattery and praise, attitude towards life can be described as quite a Buddha-nature salty fish.

This kind of personality is not suitable for Li Tong's embarrassing status in the vortex of power struggle, but it can give him a step-by-step stability, and will not disrupt the current rhythm because of worries about the future.

There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk, all of which are made of ordinary materials, and there are many handcrafted or clumsy textures in the details.

Seeing these stationery, Li Tong couldn't help but think of some calligraphy friends in his previous life. Among them, there were many who were really fascinated. Not necessarily brilliant, but also enjoy it.

In terms of these handicrafts, Li Tong's talent can be roughly summed up as being able to see it at first glance, and then throwing it away as soon as it is done. He tries a few times occasionally, and only takes it for fun when he fails.It's not arty, but it's just a hobby as a hobbyist, and it's an ordinary pastime in leisure time.

The ink is ground evenly, and there is a faint fragrance, which smells more refreshing.Li Tong dipped his pen in the ink and wrote slowly. He couldn't help thinking of the little twists and turns when he took out the stationery.

Right now he is holding a Zihao brush that Bai Juyi called "the tip of the pen is as sharp as a cone and as sharp as a knife". The brush he uses is the hair of a hare's neck, which is not his usual pen, nor is it suitable for writing plump and thick brushstrokes.

It's just because the Langhao pens provided by the palace are mostly truncated, thick and blunt, and they are mainly used for writing Feibai, which is even more unsuitable.

Empress Wu loved Feibai, and many palace people learned this.Not only Empress Wu, there were many dignitaries in the early Tang Dynasty who were elegant and flamboyant. The interests of Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong were in the same line.

But in fact, to be honest, Feibai is easy to learn and easy to master, lacks style and artistic conception, and its style and artistic conception are not high, so it has no value of being handed down from generation to generation.

In the later generations, Feibai was a mutant, and I occasionally saw "Bird and Insect Books" written by craftsmen at temple fairs. Li Tong liked it very much when he was young, but as he got older, he gradually regarded it as common, and his interest ceased, leaving behind a little drama from his youth Writing skills, occasionally write a few strokes, but also shameless.

Li Tong didn't expect to be famous for his calligraphy, but he already had a foundation of facial features and gestures. After a long time of practice, he might not be able to get a glimpse of the doorway, and there was no need to follow the evil path of Fei Bai to ruin his already so-so calligraphy foundation.

The garden scenery outside the window is reflected through the gauze, and the servants of the palace next to the banquet serve the ink carefully. This kind of ancient and leisurely atmosphere naturally makes people immersed in it. There are stamens among the flowers, and there are no flowers in the leaves after the rain. Nymphs fly over the wall, and it is suspected that spring is next door..."

Li Tong put down his pen and looked at the wet handwriting with great satisfaction in his heart.Probably the enrichment of the details of the atmosphere gave him a stronger sense of immersion, and he only felt that his writing skills were better than before, and he was worthy of self-indulgence.

He was still looking at his calligraphy complacently, but there were footsteps outside the pavilion.Without hesitation, Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed in a hu suit with a lapel collar, had already walked in, saluting Li Tong gracefully.

The contact days were short, and this was the first time for Li Tong to see Shangguan Wan'er dressed in Hu clothing, which was different from the clear and bright skirt and hairpin makeup, and had a sassy and neat look, which made people feel amazing.

He hurriedly got up and crossed his hands to salute: "It's really impolite for an unknown talent to come and bind his feet on the mat."

Shangguan Wan'er didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "I was admitted to the hospital to visit the concubine, but I don't know if the king is safe, so I turned around to see you. I was reckless in disturbing the king's leisure time."

While talking, she walked forward, looked at Li Tong with bright eyes, saw that his complexion was good, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty's complexion is as clear as day, and he is not afflicted. It is really gratifying."

"The aunt is in the hall, waiting to be served for a long time. Shouyi is weak, how dare he hurt himself for a long time."

Li Tong leaned out of the table, and invited Shangguan Wan'er to come in. After each other sat on the table, they did not dare to face each other.Not to mention whether Shangguan Wan'er had an old relationship with his old man Li Xian, but the other party, as Gaozong's nominal concubine, was also a figure of his grandmother's generation.Thinking about it this way, Li Tong couldn't help feeling that Dirty Tang was worthy of the name, and the relationship between people was too chaotic.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what Li Tong was thinking, otherwise she would have slapped her backhand in embarrassment.She took the time to pay a visit to Ren Zhiyuan today because she remembered the Queen Mother's previous order. Although the Queen Mother just said it casually, she did not dare to neglect it.I have seen the concubine Fang's greetings before, and I am somewhat concerned about the health of King Yong'an, so I came to see him by the way.

After greeting each other, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what to say.As her complexion improved, King Yong'an's resemblance to his father became more apparent, which made her a little confused.

Although the young man's eyes were flat, she felt that there was a hidden scrutiny in her eyes, and a trace of vigilance and guard was unavoidable in her heart.Often walking in the forbidden, there may not be malicious hiding everywhere, but being cautious about people and things can always avoid mistakes.

She turned her head to avoid Li Tong's gaze, pointed at the slightly desolate garden view outside the window, and ordered the accompanying female secretary to tell Si Yuan to arrange flower sill transplantation to fill the courtyard as soon as possible, and asked Li Tong what else he needed in terms of living expenses , the tone is slightly distant and polite, it seems to deliberately let Li Tong feel that this is just a routine inquiry rather than any special concern.

Li Tong answered a few words briefly, but actually made some requests, one of which was that he hoped to be able to prepare his own catering kitchen in Renzhiyuan.

It's hot in midsummer, and Shangshi Bureau is still some distance away from Renzhiyuan. Recently, Li Tong has seen several maids running around to ensure the freshness of the meals, sweating profusely.

In the spirit of being kind to others, and also hoping to gain a little independence in daily life, it is just a trivial matter. Since Shangguan Wan'er asked about the need, Li Tong took the opportunity to say it.She is in charge of a downtrodden female official from Xu's family, and she doesn't know the specific scale of their family's protection. Even if Li Tong asks, she probably has to weigh a lot.

After Shangguan Wan'er heard the words, she ordered the female historian to write it down. After a moment of silence, she was about to get up to say goodbye, when she looked down and saw the paper on the desk.At first, I was surprised by the novelty of the font, but soon I was attracted by the poetry of the words, and couldn't help but leaned over to look.

Only then did Li Tong think of this, and subconsciously wanted to put away the scroll, but seeing that Shangguan Wan'er had already leaned over to look at her, her body smelled alluring, so she simply pushed it forward. What kind of daydream it arouses, but he said modestly in his mouth: "I'm just a play, I'm afraid it will pollute Fang's family."

Shangguan Wan'er sat up straight, twisted up the scroll generously, put it in front of her and recited it carefully, first she laughed at the words: "The summer cicadas are so noisy, the neighbors have no spring."

During the laughter, the poetry flowed through her heart. She was about to put down the poem scroll, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned. care.

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head, took a closer look at Li Tong, and said with her red lips, "It's witty and innocent, and pure love is rare. Although the form and meaning are still scattered, the scene has already jumped out. The king's poetic talent has been revealed. Quite rewarding."

Even so, there is still a bit of regret in her eyes, as if it is a pity that this little poem is full of interest but lacks refinement.
