Do good deeds without leaving your name

Li Shimin really dotes on the children born to the eldest grandson empress. The daughter's in-laws are all carefully selected. Not to mention, there are three sons, the eldest son is the prince - of course because of the eldest son inheritance system, the second son and the youngest son are both Go to the fiefdom after the wedding.

As a result, every year during the New Year, he was recalled to Chang'an by an imperial edict from His Majesty Li Er.

Enough!

Forget about King Wei, he really hasn't returned to Chang'an for a year, but King Jin only went to Bingzhou for a few months?

fall!

The officials and censors really wanted to roll up their sleeves and argue with His Majesty Li Er.But think about it, what if His Majesty really pissed off His Majesty during the Chinese New Year?

All the censors looked at Mr. Wei, who was always a soldier in front of him, who was brave and brave, and took it as his duty to find fault with His Majesty. They found that Mr. Wei was on the ground and did not go to the book, so everyone went to bed and went to work. Why what.

Isn’t this nonsense, the leading figures didn’t go out for a walk, I don’t look like this enough, let’s celebrate the New Year with peace of mind: Well, even ordinary people in Chang’an City can see a lot of green vegetables on the dining table recently , I heard that it is all due to His Royal Highness King Jin.It's just a prince who is still young and loves miscellaneous things, so there is no need to keep staring at others for trouble.

There are more than one or two officials who have this idea.

Even Mr. Wei Zheng turned off the fire recently, it is also due to the vegetables that warm the house.

A month or so ago, Li Shimin thought: Don't you, old Wei Zheng, think that my pheasant slaves don't have a proper job and only have fun.I just want to give you a warm house in the suburbs, so that you can also be extravagant.

And because Wei Zheng had always been famous, he might leave the Yuci Warm House there unused, so His Majesty Li Er simply gave his family several carts of charcoal with a swipe of a pen.He also joked that when he was free, he would go to Wei Zheng's house to sit and taste seasonal vegetables.

Wei Zheng had no choice but to use the heating room.

With better living conditions, where would anyone not be happy?Anyway, although Wei Zheng's family supports their master's honesty and integrity as an official, it's not that they don't envy a more comfortable and generous life.

Even Wei Zheng's old mother, Lao Feng Jun, who is over seventy years old, has had a much better appetite recently.It's all thanks to the vegetables.

Wei Zheng can scold the younger generation for being greedy for comfort, but he can't blame his mother, can he?How can I turn a blind eye to him as a son and a filial son who is so old and wants to eat something good?

..............................

Because Wei Zheng's old lady likes to eat vegetables, it is a miracle that Li Zhi avoided being censored once.

Before setting off, Li Zhi calculated the weather.

So fortunately, they didn't encounter the snowy weather until they arrived in Chang'an.Wei Wang Li Tai did not have such good luck. It is said that he was delayed by the wind and snow, and he would not be able to enter Beijing for three or two days.

When they arrived in Chang'an, before Jin Wang and his wife entered their palace in Yankangfang to get acquainted with each other, they were stopped by the yellow gate sent by His Majesty Li Er: His Majesty Li Er was eager to think about his son, so he intercepted Li Zhi and his wife halfway to Taiji Palace went.

Li Shimin wrote blessings in the Nuan Pavilion of the Changsheng Hall of Taiji Palace, and the written ones were to be rewarded to honorable ministers.

When Li Zhi and Wu Yan arrived, His Majesty Li Er just stopped writing: "Oh, the pheasant slave has arrived?"

Wu Yan secretly glanced at the corner of His Majesty Li Er's grinning mouth, and thought: Why are you pretending to be majestic? When you see your youngest son, you become a foolish father. No wonder the prince has such a sense of crisis, even the youngest relative Careful work has been arranged in the brother's mansion.

After all, the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law had nothing to say, so His Majesty Li Er asked Li Zhi a few words very politely, and then said to Wu Yan: "Go to the back, daughter-in-law, Gao Yang and Si Zi have been nagging you for a long time."

Wu Yan was lured by the palace people to the Baifu Hall - originally Sizi and Xincheng had been living in the side courtyard of the Lizheng Palace, but Sizi offered to live in the Baifu Hall a while ago.

His Majesty Li Er didn't agree at first, thinking that the two little daughters lost their mothers, and he couldn't take care of them at any time after they went to Baifu Hall.

But Sizi moved with emotion and reason, and finally convinced Li Shimin.

It's just that Yuan Tiangang, the majestic celestial supervisor, who is called the celestial master by the people, wants to sneak into the Taiji Palace in the middle of the night.Transfer the formation that Li Zhi originally arranged in the Lizheng Hall to Baifu Hall!Who told him to promise that Li Zhi would take good care of this health formation?

I haven't seen her for a few months, but Sizi's complexion is still good. Taking care of the seven-year-old Princess Xincheng, she looks gentle.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin loves Sizi the most instead of Xincheng, the youngest, because as he gets older, Sizi's appearance also grows, and the more he looks like the eldest grandson queen.

Gao Yang's marriage with the second son of the Fang family has basically been settled, and they will get married in about a year.But Gao Yang was still as arrogant as ever, everyone in Chang'an City knew that Princess Gao Yang was deeply favored by His Majesty, so she acted a little ostentatiously.

Wu Yan didn't know how to persuade Gao Yang, thinking that she would fall in love with a monk in the future, and cause troubles all over the city... Well, forget it, everyone has their own life, if you don't have the heart of a saint, you don't need to deliberately rely on the outsider's The status is high and pointing others.

Now Wu Yan thinks that all she can do is to catch up with the two princesses who were friends in the past during the limited time she can stay in Chang'an.

Inside the Baifu Hall, the little girls quickly started chatting enthusiastically. After all, it was only a short time since we separated, and everyone did not become unfamiliar.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Shimin, who had just looked majestic, finally couldn't help but beckoned Li Zhi to stand in front of him: "The pheasant slave is a lot taller, but also thinner. How is life in Bingzhou? The palace is comfortably repaired. Are you used to eating? Do you have any pastimes in your daily life? If it’s too boring, go to the local aristocratic family and officials, and Bingzhou is your territory, so you don’t have to avoid anything.”

Li Zhi replied respectfully and politely one by one: life is good, the palace is comfortable, eating habits, reading books on weekdays, and not going out much.

Li Shimin once again emphasized that his youngest son should not always think about avoiding suspicion: "You can see that Qingque is doing very well in Xiangzhou."

It just so happened that Prince Li Chengqian came in, and upon hearing this sentence, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth: Father just loves blue sparrows and pheasant slaves too much, why?The entire Great Tang Dynasty will be his own in the future, how can he sit back and watch the power of Qingque and Pheasant Slave grow?

Li Chengqian tried his best to swallow the breath that was almost unbearable, and put on a brisk smile: "My son just heard that the pheasant slave is back, so he rushed over immediately. Ha, the pheasant slave has grown a lot taller. Father, how can you be today?" Do you want to throw a family banquet to clean up the pheasant slaves?" Li Chengqian looked like a good brother, thinking: It's best to throw it today, that fat man is still blocked on the road by the wind and snow, if he knows that his father will give it to him first. The pheasant slave held a family banquet alone, must be anxious, right?It's best to "confess" on the way if you are in a hurry!

Just now, Li Chengqian's thoughts went through thousands of times in his stomach.

Li Shimin put away his kind face after the prince came in, and dismissed the prince's proposal: "Your ninth younger brother just came back, so it's time to have a good rest. As for the family banquet, after a few days, Qingque will come back, and then we will have a good rest together." Have fun."

Li Chengqian bowed his head, his eyes were dark: "Father really values ​​Qingque very much."

Before he could say anything else, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to retreat: "Go back to the mansion and have a good rest. You don't have to go to the palace to pay your respects these few days. Wait for my order and come back on the day of the family banquet. I asked the Ministry of Industry Someone built a warm house for your house in Yankangfang, and the first batch of vegetables should be edible."

Li Zhi stepped back.

Li Chengqian was left behind and found that Li Shimin was in a bad mood. It was obvious that he would not be targeting the pheasant slaves, but it was because he had offended his father.

Li Chengqian had been the prince for more than ten years, and he was still cautious in the early stage. At that time, the eldest grandson empress also mediated, and the relationship between father and son was considered harmonious.Now Li Chengqian has been imprisoned several times by the officials because of his serious foot disease, his temper has become increasingly violent, and his life is extravagant.

So Li Shimin looked at the prince who was getting more and more wings and gloomy, and he couldn't be kind all the time.Naturally, there is another most important reason, that is, looking at the maturing prince, Li Shimin can always feel that he is getting old.

Who in this world is not afraid of death?

It's not just that "generals with gray heads are afraid of new armor, and beauties are afraid of bronze mirrors when they are old." Even Li Shimin, who had the courage to wash Xuanwumen and ascend the throne in the past, was also afraid of growing old.

"Gao Ming, I don't want to use a knife to see blood in the first month. Before the New Year, go and deal with the one in the East Palace called Xinxin. Don't force me to find someone to do it myself. You have to remember that you are the prince of a country, and you are addicted to such absurd things. How can I rest assured that I will hand over the country to you in the future?" Li Shimin suppressed his anger, as long as he thought that his eldest son would actually start playing child molestation, his heart would burst into flames.

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to plead guilty. He was very frightened. The East Palace looked like an iron bucket in his eyes, but his father was still familiar with what happened inside.How can you not be afraid?

Li Shimin watched his eldest son with foot disease knelt with difficulty, pleaded guilty weeping bitterly, and finally let him back down with a dark face.

Before Li Chengqian stepped down, he only heard his father say: "Gao Ming, please do it yourself."

As soon as the prince returned to the East Palace, he wanted to overturn all the things on the table to vent his anger, but he had just been warned by Li Shimin, and he didn't even have the guts to overturn the table, so he could only say bitterly: "Go and call the princess."

Crown Princess Su and Li Chengqian have been married for several years, and there were times when they were sweet and sweet, but as Li Chengqian's temper became more and more irritable, the relationship between the two is not as good as before.Now that the prince and his wife meet, they are like superiors and subordinates, without any warmth at all.

"I handed over the backyard to you, how do you take care of the East Palace? You can get out casual news, and in the future, will people outside even know when you sneeze?" Li Chengqian slapped the table and scolded.

Su Shi just bowed his head and admitted his mistake, without any excuse: "It's my concubine's fault."

"If you don't have the ability to manage the backyard, Guda can ask Sun Liangdi and Xiao Liangdi to help you share it!"

"It's my concubine's fault."

Li Chengqian is like punching cotton with one fist, but he can't be rough on his wife and the dignified princess. After all, it's the end of the year, and there are still many occasions for the princess to show up, so he waved again: "You'd better remember Gu's words. Retire Come down."

After the Su family left, Li Chengqian thought over and over again, found a confidant, asked him to find an identity for his latest new favorite, Xinxin, and secretly got it out of the palace - after all, he had only gotten it for two days, and Xinxin was clever, and he could still find it in a short while. Reluctant to take his life.

So Li Chengqian took the risk, trying to keep his male favorite under Li Shimin's nose.What he bet is that after his father mentioned something about himself, he would not bother to pay attention to the things he wanted.

Three days later, Wei Wang Li Tai disappointed Prince Li Chengqian and arrived safely in Chang'an.

So the family banquet was held in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Concubine Yang is in charge, and Xu Jieyu is assistant.

Xu Jieyu's boudoir name is Xu Hui, and she entered the palace in the spring of Zhenguan's 14th year. Because of her outstanding talent, Li Shimin recognized her as a talented person after hearing about her.After being favored, she was promoted to three ranks in a row, and was named Jieyu, ranked in the third rank, and she was in the limelight for a while.

Wu Yan looked down on Li Shimin's actions from the bottom of her heart: on the one hand, she deeply missed the eldest grandson queen, and on the other hand, she chose a newcomer to enrich the harem without any influence.Tsk tsk, especially since Xu Jieyu is three years younger than him, Li Shimin is really not soft-spoken.

However, let alone an emperor, it is an ordinary ancient official family. Such things are common, especially in the future, the famous Tang Dynasty scumbag Yuan Zhen wrote the poem "Once the sea was too difficult to be water" to mourn his dead wife, while hugging her. Xue Tao is happy... In the patriarchal Tang Dynasty where men are superior to women, how can you ask a husband to guard his wife like a jade?

Fortunately, in this life, I have a stupid monk to accompany me, so I don't have to endure such a man.

Wu Yan was still very happy when she saw Li Zhi sitting opposite her.

The emperor's family banquet will not be simple, Li Shimin sits on both sides of the beautiful and beautiful concubine, and next to him is a group of sons, daughters, and daughter-in-law.That is, men sit on the left and women sit on the right.

In winter, the climate is extremely cold, and the meals that come all the way from the imperial dining room become cold after a while.

But as long as His Majesty asks, the palace people will naturally not bring up the cold meal.

Therefore, each dish is packed in two food boxes, and it is still warm in the hall.

Sure enough, it was because the people sitting here were all his beloved children, how could Li Shimin have the heart to dismiss them like he treated those ministers——when entertaining the ministers, those less important officials would not be treated so well. Cold dishes, over time, everyone said in private that the dishes made by the Imperial Dining Room were mediocre.

Naturally, good food goes well with good wine. The women's side is full of sweet fruit wine and glutinous rice wine; while Li Shimin's son's side is naturally the wine that men should drink.

I don't know whether it was negligence or intentional. Li Zhi, who always drank the same wine with his female relatives in the early years, turned out to be tiger/whip wine in the cup this year. Of course, it has an elegant name called Amber Nuanxiang.

It is named for its amber-like color and the warm aroma of nephrite jade after drinking. It is considered a high-end sex-enhancing wine.

Li Zhi didn't know the meaning of the warm fragrance of amber, but felt that the color of the wine was clear and yellowish, soft in the throat, sweet aftertaste, and warm in the stomach after drinking a glass, so he drank a few more glasses.

Both Li Chengqian and Li Tai knew about personnel affairs long ago, and it was normal to eat and drink some supplements on weekdays.Which man doesn't want himself to be as powerful as a dragon, as powerful as a tiger, and as powerful as a female at night?

Because they were trying to compete with each other, the Crown Prince and King Wei didn't notice that the ninth younger brother who was sitting at the bottom drank a few more glasses of this tonic "Amber Warm Fragrance".

At the end of the family banquet, it was already late, so Li Shimin left Li Tai and Li Zhi to live in the Taiji Palace.Anyway, the Wude Hall and Chengqing Hall where they lived in the past were cleaned all the year round.

Naturally, Li Tai hurriedly agreed, being able to stay in the palace, it was another signal that he was very much loved by his father—and also, the pheasant slave was stayed overnight like himself. It's not just me.

The fat man figured it out clearly in his heart, and pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol.

Li Zhi was the youngest among the brothers. Since Li Tai was "drunk" like this, Li Zhi and Wu Yan had no choice but to follow him and live in Chengqing Hall.

Li Chengqian, the crown prince, was left alone with a secret hatred in his heart: Li Tai had trouble just after he came back, and he really couldn't bear it any longer.

..............................

Because entering the palace, Li Zhi only brought Abao, and Wu Yan only brought Qingtong Cuibai—Eunuch Hu and nurse Xu were both left in Bingzhou.

Fortunately, the palace servants who clean the Chengqing Hall daily are still there, otherwise Abao and the others would have to fetch hot water in person.

After freshening up, the three people who were very familiar with the living habits of His Royal Highness Jin Wang and the princess all retreated to the outside room.It was said that they were on duty at night, but in fact, all three of them knew that His Royal Highness and Princess Wang had very good living habits and never got up in the middle of the night, so the three of them fell asleep with their eyes closed as usual.

Li Zhi and Wu Yan in the back room looked at each other in dismay: After the big wedding, they didn't live in Chengqing Palace for a few days, so they temporarily separated each other with a screen.Now I moved in in a hurry, and neither the screen nor the soft couch were added...

Li Zhi drank a little too much tonight, his cheeks were flushed, and he whispered, "I'll meditate on the stool tonight."

Wu Yan thought: How can this be possible? It's too cold for me to lie down and you to sit. It's too inappropriate.

"It's okay, I think the bed is very wide, we can sleep on one side alone." Wu Yan said without thinking.

And the reason why she didn't hesitate was that she never regarded Li Zhi as a man, a man.Probably because the identity of a holy monk is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Li Zhi still had to say a few words.

Wu Yan yawned slightly: "That's the decision, go to bed quickly. I will definitely get up early tomorrow to greet His Majesty."

The two called Li Shimin "Your Majesty" in private, which shows that neither of them actually integrated into this palace.

Seeing that A Yan went to change into obscene clothes, she crawled onto the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and asked herself: "I'll sleep in, okay?"

Li Zhi didn't know why, and blurted out: "Okay, then I'll sleep outside."
