Chang'an one moon gl

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

After all these years, it is actually more than my salary in the city.

It is good to have money if you have no power in your hands.The first thing after returning to Chang'an, I went to Qianling to guard the mausoleum for three months. Now I have no place to intervene in the court, but as Wan'er said, there is nothing wrong with being a virtuous and filial person .Afterwards, I often went to the monastery in Chang'an, listened to eminent monks preaching scriptures, or went to offer incense to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people, and the health of the Queen Mother.At this time, we must do "nosy things" to protect ourselves wisely, and we must also do "good things" to prepare for a comeback in the future.

Now the mansion is rich in money, after discussing with Cui Bifei, I roughly decided where the money should go.Part of the annual income is secretly given to the King of Yue to train soldiers and horses, and the other part I played to the Empress Dowager, willing to donate money to support poor children from all over the country to take the imperial examination.

"Your Highness said, how much of the money from our palace can really be given to the children of poor families in various places?" Cui Bifei and I sat and drank tea in the mansion. , the magistrate will subsidize the children of poor families according to the situation.

I smiled and said, "If half of it can be used in the right way, I will be satisfied."

"Half?" Cui Bifei was a little surprised, "There are a lot of idlers in the mansion, so why didn't His Highness send more people to take care of it? To prevent the money from falling into the hands of corrupt officials for nothing."

"Hahaha, these corrupt officials have embezzled the king's money, so they should know how to remember the king, right? Don't underestimate the sesame officials in these places. If you don't go through their hands, it is not a trivial matter to provoke them to hold grudges. To save money and avoid disaster, all we want is a good reputation, and we don’t need to go into details.” I said to Cui Bifei with a smile.

Cui Bifei nodded, "My lord is different from before."

"Where is it different? One nose and one mouth, no more and no less." I picked up the snacks and ate them. In such a leisurely and leisurely life, all that is left is fattening.

"My lord is very energetic now, completely different from the past." Cui Bifei wiped away the residue from the corner of his mouth for me.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want my second brother and He Lanbai to die either. In the past, I could be under my second brother, my third brother, or my mother's mother, but I don't want to be among those surnamed Wu. Under the villain." I got up and brushed the crumbs off my body, and asked Cui Bifei, "Are there still many idlers in the mansion?"

Cui Bifei nodded, not knowing what I wanted to do.

"I can't raise them for nothing, I should do something for me." I muttered to myself and went to find Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong doesn't like to talk too much, but he still does things very reliably.It was only two months after I asked him to go on, and he had already done it. "According to His Highness's instructions, everything is kept simple, and the work has been completed. Please go down and have a look."

I asked Zhou Tong to build an academy on a piece of land that Cui Bifei had bought before, and selected some learned scholars from the mansion to be teachers.

"If His Highness runs an academy to recruit talented people, he should recruit older teenagers, who will be admitted to official positions in a few years. What's the use of teaching these kids?" Someone from the Chinese government questioned me.

"I was just wandering around a few days ago and saw a lot of poor children playing in the street in Chang'an. I thought it would be better not to take any money and accept these children to study. Maybe any of them will be able to serve the country in the future." I said solemnly, There is a limit to everything, beyond which you are digging your own grave.

"I offended the lord by treating the belly of a gentleman as a villain. The lord is high-spirited, and Xiaosheng is ashamed."

"You are too serious. This king knows that you are for this king and for the great Tang Dynasty." As soon as I finished speaking, Zhou Tong hurried in. Seeing him like this, I knew it was her letter that had arrived. I took it with me as an excuse. Zhou Tong left, took the letter from Zhou Tong and opened it. Ever since we traveled from Chang'an to Luoyang, Wan'er and I have been together less often and separated more. What I wrote was just to tell me something.Since I returned to Chang'an, Wan'er has sent me letters almost every month. She is by the Queen Mother's side, so she naturally knows what the Queen Mother thinks best. Whenever something I do spreads to the Queen Mother's ears and the Queen Mother expresses displeasure, Wan'er will tell me , I will wait for some time to seek a remedy, of course, I can't do everything like this, making the Queen Mother suspicious of Wan'er.

It has been four years since I returned to Chang'an.I am my peaceable prince. Although I have secretly supported other Li and Tang royal families these years, the situation is stable now, and I have no intention of causing them to have trouble again.But not long after I thought this way, I suddenly heard that everyone in Chang'an City was chatting after dinner, saying that Luoshui's magic stone was engraved with words.

Ask what characters are engraved, and I will know who is playing the trick. "The Holy Mother's presence, Yongchang Emperor" is now Sima Zhao's heart and everyone knows it.

A few days later, the royal family of the Li family became less peaceful, and received letters from several uncles and peers, suggesting that I would rise up in the near future.

Early the next morning, I wrote a letter requesting to return to Luoyang without discussing it with anyone.Queen Mother Yun.I wrote back to King Yue to inform him of this.

After nearly a month of exhaustion, I brought my family back to Luoyang. When I went back to Luoyang, I saw that as expected, most of the people in the court are Wu's party members. The world probably only knows that the Empress Dowager's surname is Wu, but the emperor's surname is Li.

Chapter 45 Chapter 44

As soon as I arrived in Luoyang, I heard that Empress Wu invited Li Tang's clan to come to Luoyang to congratulate and offer sacrifices on the grounds that the Mingtang was completed.Empress Wu has been making frequent moves recently regarding the auspiciousness incident, but I didn't expect her to be so impatient, and she didn't know what to do for a while. In terms of strength, the Li Tang clan is far from being able to compete with the imperial court, but I have been secretly communicating with the kings before. It's hard to escape the relationship when the incident happened. Presumably Empress Wu must have planned to catch all the kings before they became popular.

I have been here for ten years, no more, no less, and I have taken this life as my own in these ten years, not to mention Taiping and Xiandan, many Li Tang clans have a deep friendship with me, I want to sit and watch Are they slaughtered?

As soon as we arrived in Luoyang, before we had time to rest, Cui Bifei and I changed our clothes and went to congratulate Empress Wu about Xiangrui. In the past ten years, I have regarded many people as relatives, but for Empress Wu, what kind of emotion should I have? On blood relationship She is my mother, but I am afraid of her and I am used to looking down on her, so that I have no sense of intimacy.I think that Xianhedan probably also had the same confusion, and I suddenly envied Taiping a little bit. Although they are not as close as mother and daughter in ordinary families, there is no need to be trembling.

Empress Wu invited me to have dinner with Cui Bifei. I felt guilty and didn't want to stay for a long time, but after much deliberation, I couldn't find a suitable reason, so I had to stay. I was absent-minded during the dinner, but it was a bit of a waste of time. Fortunately, Cui Bifei was clever and chatted with Empress Wu to resolve my embarrassment.After lunch, I asked Cui Bifei to go home first on the pretext of meeting Li Dan.

I made a detour to the side hall where Wan'er lived. I didn't see her on duty just now, so I think she should be here at this moment.At the gate of the hall, I met the little maid who brought tea in, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and it's getting better and better." I joked casually, "Is Wan'er in there?"

This little Gong'e has been with Wan'er for many years, and she is quite familiar with me. She is usually not restrained, but today she looked strange, and I realized that there were two cups of tea on the tea tray. "Who's in there?"

The little Gong'e lowered her head and said nothing, I felt a little annoyed in my heart, I went forward and opened the door, the screen could not see who was inside, but I could hear a lively conversation inside, I knew the man's voice, it was Wu Sansi.Hearing movement from me, the chatter and laughter stopped short, and Wan'er's voice came: "Is it Bishu?"

The little Gong'e hurriedly ran over and said: "Sister Shangguan, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is here."

There was no movement inside, I was already trembling with anger, the little Gong'e looked at me cautiously, I took a big breath, walked around the screen and walked in.

"I came from Chang'an to see my old friends. It seems that the king came at an inappropriate time today, which disturbed the interest of the two of you." I smiled and glanced at the dishes and bowls in front of the two of them. I must have just eaten together. After lunch.

Wu Sansi's face was full of complacency, yes, it's different now, why does he care about me. "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is back, just sit down and have a cup of tea together."
