Zhen Guo Princess GL

Before Cui Mingde left, he had a special talk with me, which made me stay on the sidelines and not get involved in the struggle between the Li and Wu families. According to her, it would be a year later, or a few months sooner. As a result, at that time, it was the day when I could show my ambitions.She was right that I should never have taken a stand and gotten involved in this dispute too soon.Even A Huan should not come forward at this time, but should continue to lie dormant until the moment when the result is clear, or even a certain moment after the death of the mother - if I and A Huan only want to stay together safely, that is indeed true. It is the best and most calm choice.

However, A Huan couldn't wait any longer.The more chaotic the current situation is, the better it is for me, but the more complicated it is for her.Whether she likes it or not, her marriage has become a huge shackle, and she and Li Rui are firmly tied to the same boat, and I am like a boatman driving parallel to their boat, with the stern connected to their boat , It’s nothing when the weather is calm. Once the situation gets out of control, they will either part ways or be dragged into the water by each other.

I'm very surprised that I didn't think about these issues before. I don't know if it's because Li Rui has been away for too long, or because I am still somewhat influenced by the concept of marriage in my previous life, or... because I never thought that my mother would have a restraint. A day when you can't live with the situation.

Since I came to this era, my mother has been strong and omnipotent. When I was a child, I was weak and sick, and several times the imperial doctor failed. It was she who did not recognize the destiny and took good care of me. She dragged me back to this world from the edge of death. Longer Tubo asked for marriage, she would rather go to war with foreigners than keep me in the capital, and later married, resisted marriage, and my so many strange and out-of-the-time ideas, she either tolerated or deleted them, always She also encouraged me to do it one after another. I still remember when she asked me to let go of the Fengtian Bureau. It didn't take long, but now, the Fengtian Forestry Bureau will also be established.

Mother's illness started in mid-April, and after sending Dugu Shao away, she gradually became unwell: at first she said she had small pimples on her face, and she didn't want to see people, but after being treated by the famous doctor Zhang Wenzhong, she improved slightly, and then Tired and lazy to move, we all persuaded her to stop conferring on the Zen service, but she refused. In mid-June, she went up to Songshan Mountain with Wu Chengsi as the second consecration and Wu Sansi as the final consecration, conferring on Songyue. Worshiping heaven and earth, on the way back, we went to the Shengxian Taizi Temple that was built before. When we entered the temple to pay our respects, we suddenly fainted. Even though we were awake, we were terrified.Carefully escorted Shengjia back to the capital, Li Dan and I took turns to serve the sick day and night, Wan'er, He Lou, Ah Qing, Gao Yanfu, etc. all served attentively, Zhu Wu also entered the palace every day, and greeted him at any time, lest his mother would really come out What's the matter, Wu Chengsi was especially depressed, murmuring with Wu Sansi and the others from morning to night, not knowing what to discuss--it was only at this time that I really realized that once my mother was away, what would happen to A Huan? What does it mean, and Zhu Wu must have a deeper understanding of this than I do.For the sake of A Huan, no matter how reasonable what Cui Mingde said, I can only put it aside for the time being - I doubt that she knows this, so she has been away from the capital for several months, and this matter has never been mentioned in the letter - through the mother During this time of illness, I participated more diligently in the affairs of the court.

When Dugu Shaofu arrived at the frontier, he went to battle in person, spared no effort to seize Qinzhou, which was conquered by Khitan, and the good news came before Feng Chan, and it happened to be auspicious. General, ten days later, he formally worshiped Cui Xiu as a disciple of Tong Zhongshu, and became a prime minister.

After Cui Xiu became prime minister, many things became easier to do. Liu Houde awarded Dr. Guanglu for his contribution to the preparation of the military salary, and Xu dedicated himself to the affairs of the Heavenly Bureau.Feng Yongchang's charity hall is so-so, and the form is more important than the content. However, the two things I pay most attention to-teaching girls to recite hygiene, arithmetic, and literacy rhymes, and teaching widows and homeless women to weave and needlework So far, the Charity Hall has cultivated hundreds of female workers from good families, and then arranged these female workers to work in the Fengtian Bureau. Because of this, I put his usual petty greedy and bullying He forbears not to mention the small things that are hidden from the top, and only knocks him a few words occasionally, ordering him to work diligently.

I never mentioned to my mother that Liu Houde used the branch of the Fengtian Bureau as a base to scout for information.It’s not that this idea is bad, but I have already figured it out. With my mother’s suspicious nature, if the Fengtian Bureau turns to intelligence, it may not be able to stay in my hands, and I don’t have much chips in my hand right now, so I can’t just let it go .

Although I have benefited a lot from the Li Wu dispute, the one who has been promoted the fastest this year is not any one of my disciples, but Zheng Xiuyuan's third son, Zheng Hongye. Later, he was re-elected as the fifth rank of idleness. At the beginning of the year, my mother told me to take care of him. I managed to find Dongguan Langzhong for him. When he was enshrined in Zen in June, my mother called him to talk with him. This month, the holy body recovered, and he was transferred to Qiu Guanshilang. His younger brother, Hong Jing, moved from Weiqian, Xianyang County, to be a Tong Shiren, and to find and change Fengge Sheren. There are six Zheng brothers, one of the third rank, one of the fourth rank, and the second rank. The five ranks of people are all officials of the Qing Dynasty, and their families are prominent, and everyone envies them.

What is unexpected and reasonable is that when encountering these extraordinary promotions in the past, there are always people who advise and advise, but this time, the government and the opposition are silent and no one questions them.Except for Zheng Xiuyuan, the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zheng Yuanyi and his brothers are also in smooth sailing. Although they are not as famous as when the Empress Dowager Zheng was alive, they still have a hidden tendency to prosper - this is of course my fault force.

Except for the courtiers, the women's society in the harem finally started to look decent. Cui Mingde was not here, and the banquets and gatherings were usually hosted by He Lou. He recruited a fellow from his hometown to join the company, gradually brought in several more people in the middle of the year, and made up the number of 40 people. After that, he was very cautious and did not dare to admit more people.

And A Huan imitated us, and also invited some women to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, and vaguely had the appearance of a Jingjiaoshe, but it was not as ostentatious as us——since that day, there was a lot of tension between her and me. Maintaining a delicate relationship, we are still together at night, even more daring than before, but there is less contact during the day, she is busy with hers, and I am busy with mine, and we rarely get together, let alone talk about each other. Some personal words.However, I spent more time chatting with her about business affairs than ever before. I told her the news from my side in a half-covered manner, and she told me what she had heard as gossip. We never said that we would join forces or compete on a certain matter, but there was a strange tacit understanding between us, as if some agreements could be reached naturally without words.

This is a completely different situation of getting along with before, which makes me feel a little novel.And A Huan's energetic, exquisite, and busy appearance every day always reminds me of her when she was not a princess.

That is A Huan who belongs to me alone.

I stood in front of the window, and the Buddha slave came in from the vestibule quietly, was introduced by the immortal himself, bowed to salute, and said softly in front of me: "The lady ordered the villain to be superior to the princess: after three days of cultivation, there is no serious problem. Dalang also took care of seven or eight out of ten. His Majesty allowed Dalang to live in the palace temporarily, and ordered Princess Anding and Siyu Temple to choose good girls for marriage; monk Shizhen of Dayun Temple set up Buddhist scriptures for His Majesty, When it comes to killing living things, he said that the princess is not suitable for slaughtering cats and dogs when he is ill, for fear of hurting the most holy Yin Gong. , Killing once in life is the way of a holy king. The princess and the king of Wei, one eliminates treachery, corrects the emperor's side, visits Danshi, and cultivates the righteous way. They are both loyal and filial, and there is no distinction between them." It is the decree that all monks, nuns, and Taoists in the palace are only allowed to chant scriptures, not to talk about longevity, and to prohibit all alchemy. A handwritten letter to the king of Wei ordered him to practice self-cultivation and not to have too much contact with monks and Taoists."

The author has something to say: Notes:

Monks and Taoism were prevalent in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with officials, monks and Taoists received less attention, and they could go in and out of the palace and back houses, so they often became political brokers.Some scholars have studied that many conspiracies occurred in temples, and monks and Taoists were often seen in court coups.
