Tang Dynasty Never Night

Ming Chongyan's death seemed to be like throwing a stone on a calm lake, disturbing the whole pool in an instant.Li Xian couldn't tell how he felt when he heard the news of his death.

His feelings for Ming Chongyan were originally very passer-by, but this person brought him a lot of pressure. Apart from other things, his so-called face-to-face words are enough to make people fantasize. It can be said that Li Obviously had to retreat because of Ming Chongyan, and he was also afraid that Ming Chongyan would say something else. Although he is much better than Ming Chongyan in terms of magic stick, after all, he has real deeds, but this kind of thing has people If you don't believe it, someone will believe it. Li Xian can't afford to gamble. He has a good relationship with Li Xian. He doesn't want to have the same relationship as Li Hong and him back then.

So he can only retreat, but is it the same as being forced to retreat by oneself?Li Xian said nothing on the surface, but he was dissatisfied with Ming Chongyan in his heart.

Ming Chongyan's death would make him feel relieved, but the reason why he stopped Li Xian before was mainly because he was afraid that Li Xian would be caught by Empress Wu. Yes, and he died in the East Palace!

When Li Xian knew about it, he gasped and turned to look at Zheng Qi with a pale face. The shock on his face could not be concealed. Don't move around casually, yes, the people he cultivated are now considered to be a little bit energetic. Since his own official position is not particularly high, these people generally wander between the fifth and sixth ranks, but Zheng Qi employs people. They just like to use the children of poor families. They don't have any background. In this case, it is not bad to be able to climb to the fifth and sixth ranks only relying on Zheng Qi's occasional guidance.

Seeing Li Xian's pale face, Zheng Qi couldn't help but put the matter aside and asked in a low voice, "You... what's wrong?"

When Emperor Xiao Jing passed away, he didn't see Li Xian so shocked, so what happened?

Li Xian just felt very tired. When Li Hong was with him, he knew when Li Hong would hang up, but he didn't stop him. My feeling is that this product finally hangs up.

But now...he really stopped Ming Chongyan's death, but he still hasn't saved him.Li Xian took a deep breath and asked, "I just think... no matter what I do, history is still developing at the same pace? No matter how much we do, it's useless?"

After hearing this, Zheng Qi realized what Li Xian was worried about. He couldn't help but reached out and patted Li Xian's head and said, "Thinking too much, do you really think nothing has changed? If nothing has changed If so, now Datang should lose to Tubo and lose the four towns of Anxi."

Li Xian cheered up after hearing this: "But... Ming Chongyan is still..."

"His words... put aside what we knew, analyze it, is his death accidental? Li Xian is not the only one who wants to kill him."

"What?" Li Xian was a little surprised: "He also provoked others?"

Zheng Qi sneered and said, "The Queen of Heaven favors him now, do you think the Queen of Heaven's party really doesn't dislike him? This matter must not have been done by the crown prince, maybe it was just a chance for someone to get rid of Ming Chongyan to marry him." Damn the prince."

Zheng Qi dared to say that mainly because Li Xian was a smart person, as long as he didn't mess up, he couldn't do such a thing.

Li Xian sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, the question is what to do now?"

"What should we do?" Zheng Qi was a little puzzled: "This matter has nothing to do with us, does it?"

Recently, because of Li Xian's relationship, he has been forced to stay in the house. Zheng Qi is also very suffocated, okay?Before Li Jingxuan left, everyone was scrambling for territory, so he wanted to grab it too, okay?Even if you can't grab the big head and grab some residue, it's okay, but Ming Chongyan suddenly jumped out, not only he couldn't grab it, but also made everyone shrink.

But it's not bad, the Zheng family was still looking for them before, but now the Zheng family is going downhill, and there is still a scene where Zheng Qi supports the Zheng family so that everyone can't see the Zheng family clearly, but Zheng Qi is different from the Zheng family. Everyone can tell that the Zheng family wants to struggle a bit, so they want Zheng Qi to recommend it. These days, if you are an official, the children of poor families will take the imperial examination, and the children of the noble family will still rely on the recommendation.

There are also people in the Zheng family who are officials, but they are not high enough, even if they are recommended, it is not a good job, and they are definitely not as good as Zheng Qi.It's just that when they came to the door, it happened that Li Xian retreated behind the scenes. The Zheng family quickly retreated. Zheng Qi got too close to the King of England. If the crown prince wanted to settle the matter, the King of England and Zheng Qi might It can still stand, but they are hard to say.

Zheng Qi felt relieved while being aggrieved. The family is still very important these days. It is an internal matter for him not to be close to the family. If he really wants to rise to the family level, he will also recommend someone to save face. However... ...Now he doesn't have any favorites from the Zheng family's bastards!

There are inevitable historical factors for a family to go downhill, and the descendants are probably the main reason. Instead of recommending them or training some children in the family, he might as well teach his younger brother honestly!

Zheng Qi's thinking is very calm now, since he has retired, he should not come out for the time being, and wait until the situation is clear or the emperor thinks of him, and he will not care about others.

Li Xian also understood Zheng Qi's meaning, but he still felt a little awkward: "But...the crown prince...after all, he treats me well."

"Can you remind him once, remind him twice and remind him again and again? What's more, now this matter can only be settled by him, what can you help him?" Zheng Qi analyzed calmly.

Li Xian heard the same thing, he really couldn't do anything, and he didn't dare to become Empress Wu, now the only hope is Li Zhi, I hope he protects Li Xian the same as he defended Li Hong back then.

Seeing Li Xian being persuaded to come back, Zheng Qi was slightly relieved. To be honest, he had a hundred ways to help Li Xian overcome this difficulty, but in his opinion, it was not necessary.

The battle between Empress Wu and the prince has reached a fever pitch. They are not princelings, and even if they are, it is impossible to help every time, so it is best to stand by and watch. Whoever wins does not have much impact on them, and maybe...they still Can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Ming Chongyan died in the East Palace, and the cause of death was also very embarrassing. He fell down the stairs and broke his neck. Of course, the official explanation is this.

Not to mention that most people believe this explanation, after all, it is impossible for officials to open their eyes and tell lies. The cause of death must be this, but how and why it fell is what everyone wants to gossip about.

Li Xian has been living a particularly painful life recently. Ming Chongyan's death seems to have touched Empress Wu's anger point. If Empress Wu's anger value was around [-], it is probably [-] now. Empress Wu with such a high anger value is not good. deal with.

In the past, Empress Wu and him could barely maintain a loving mother and filial son on the surface. However, since Ming Chongyan's death, Empress Wu has made no secret of her dissatisfaction with Li Xian. "Shaoyang Zhengfan" and "The Story of a Dutiful Son".

After Li Xian knew about it, he really didn’t know what to say. The first of these two books is to teach people how to be a prince, and the second book can tell from the name that it tells everyone to be filial and how to be filial. .

Empress Wu's act of giving these two books was like slapping the prince face to face!Li Xian's prince is actually doing a good job, even Li Zhi has never said that he is not good in several times, and Empress Wu is indeed directly saying that he does not know how to be a prince and is not filial enough.

The former one is better, and the courtiers know whether they will be the prince. As long as Li Zhi doesn't think that he is doing badly as the prince, that's enough. If he is labeled as unfilial, his reputation will be ruined, so even if he ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that the history books will record how "unfilial" he is.

Li Xian was a little bit impatient, and now he finally understood a little bit what Li Hong was thinking at the beginning - why Li Hong even thought of abolishing his mother!

As a crown prince, who doesn't know that his mother's status as a queen can guarantee his status as a legitimate son, and only then can his status be more stable?But if the mother is Empress Wu, this is not only a bonus but a constraint!If Empress Wu can really be abolished and all her authority can be abolished, it may be a good thing for Li Xian.

After all, even if Empress Wu was abolished, she had been a queen, and Li Xian was still a son of a concubine. long!

Not to mention, Li Xian was really thinking about it. He knew that his father had planned to abolish the empress at the beginning, and he had written the imperial edict. He didn't know why he was worried about why he didn't abolish it. Now...they are all bosses, because Li Hong, as well as various political differences, the relationship between the couple is so thin, Li Xian thinks...maybe he can work hard.

Li Xian really dared to think about it, but he didn't dare to do it for the time being, because the place where Ming Chongyan died was too coincidental. Some people said that it was intentional to frame Donggong, and some said that Donggong had caught someone. Psychological blind spot, so dare to do this.

In short, Li Xian didn't dare to do anything these days, he was more honest than his younger brother Li Xian!

Li Xian doesn't want to do anything now, so he can just quietly be a handsome man. The breeding of food is in progress, but this is a long-term thing. He knows the direction of breeding, but he doesn't respond... He didn't respond I have no experience in this area, and I have never learned this knowledge, so I still can only point out one way.

After Ming Chongyan's death, in order to appease Empress Wu, Li Zhi gave Ming Chongyan a posthumous title of servant, with the posthumous title of Zhuang.Then some people were unwilling. Many people in the court were not very satisfied with Ming Chongyan, and most of them looked down on him. They always felt that he was a sycophant, and he was able to become a high-ranking official only because he pleased the empress. Oh, strictly speaking He is flattering the Queen of Heaven, so everyone's evaluation of him is even less high.

Such a sycophant still wants to give it back, dissatisfied... Great dissatisfaction, you must know that the addition of the rank of servant in these years means that it is already a second thought. To the point of doing it, those who can become prime ministers, especially prime ministers, have two brushes.

Moreover, most of these people came from honorable families, and now suddenly a flattering courtier came over to be at the same level as them, even if they were dead!

All of a sudden, because of Ming Chongyan's posthumous gift, there was a heated fight between you and me in the court.Empress Wu was very angry. Originally, she was more comfortable with a posthumous gift. She did not fall in love with Ming Chongyan. Losing something when you still love it is the most painful.

Empress Wu was somewhat sad. Under such circumstances, some people insisted on holding Ming Chongyan's posthumous title and posthumous title, and Empress Wu was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.Needless to say, she wanted to kill people because she was not just thinking about it. After two days, some people who clearly opposed this matter were dealt with by Empress Wu. Cut into white boards—the most important thing is that there is no way to rehabilitate them. Empress Wu was quick to shoot black bricks. In the past, the people she arranged to compile books in Chongwen Museum finally became a little bit after years of tempering. The climate came in handy, and the black histories of the people they found out one by one, none of them were really innocent!

Empress Wu made a bigger move this time, and this attack affected people from the prince, Li Zhi, and even Zheng Qi!

After Zheng Qi found out, he was immediately outraged. You must know that if the grade is not enough to tell the truth, Empress Wu would not bother to bother. characters.Zheng Qi's anger did not come from Empress Wu, but from hating iron for failing to make steel.

There are really too few people who are officials in the court, but...don't go too far, Li Cheng was recruited this time because of the inner house issue. Strictly speaking, he was also cheated, cheated him It was his father—he was originally not a legitimate son but a concubine, but his father had the title of marquis, and without a legitimate son, he would be expelled from the country, so Madam Hou did something—she took her own son with her. The boys from the concubine, who were born around the same time as the daughter, were carried over and said to be twins, and they used the concubine as the concubine, and later asked Li Cheng to be named Hou Shizi.

This was originally a secret, and I don’t know where Empress Wu found the evidence. I flouted the laws of the country to deceive the emperor and committed crimes. Don’t say anything, let me exile you.

Zheng Qi was half angry at Li Cheng's father's confusion—since it was changed, those who knew about it at the beginning should be silenced, and all the evidence should be cleaned up. Don't give others a chance to reverse the case, you are so stupid!

Even more stupid is Li Cheng!At the beginning, Zheng Qi reminded everyone not to follow the chaos, what to do, don't jump, jumping is death, but this stuff is still mixed in, isn't it death?

It's rare for Li Xian to see Zheng Qi so angry for so many years, shrinking aside and not speaking, what should he say?On one side is his boyfriend and on the other side is his empress...

Zheng Qi said for a long time without any response and turned to look at Li Xian. Li Xian swallowed and asked: "Mr. Li is too anxious. It's not like he can't have children. Since he has a son and a daughter, let's continue." , why do you have to ask the bastard to pretend to be?"

Zheng Qi: Majesty, your focus is not right for you?

But Zheng Qi is just looking for a place to complain, after all, no matter who he goes out, he still has to act like he has nothing to do with him, he is about to suffocate to death.

Zheng Qi sighed and said: "The problem is that since the one son and one daughter, Lord Hou has been injured... there is something wrong with the heirs, so..."

Li Xian understood in seconds, but since this has already happened, it's enough to lose his temper once.Zheng Qi calmed down quickly after his anger was over, he pondered for a while before saying: "Tian Hou is like this...it's not right."

Although it seems to have hit most of the courtiers, those who are happy with their enemies can't live long in the jungle. Is Empress Wu mad this time?If she continues like this, it is estimated that Li Zhi is about to make a move. In the past, Li Zhi did not make a move mainly because nothing major happened. It is not bad to leave his wife to his son as a whetstone, otherwise it will be too smooth for Li Xian. .

On the issue of heirs, Li Zhi is sometimes quite cruel.Li Xian understood the implication of Zheng Qi's words, and after thinking about it, he couldn't resist going to Empress Wu's place.

Empress Wu still looked unrestrained and comfortable. On the surface, she didn't feel that she was really sad for Ming Chongyan's death. Maybe... the objection to the posthumous gift of Ming Chongyan was the reason for her anger?After all, Ming Chongyan is her man.

Empress Wu was quite surprised to see Li Xian: "How did you come here?"

Li Xian said with a smile: "My son misses Mommy."

Empress Wu looked at him with a half-smile and didn't speak. Li Xian was also a little guilty. Since Ming Chongyan said that sentence, the number of times he entered the palace has dropped sharply. Since the palace is not near, there is no need to come to say hello every day.

"If Auntie is in a bad mood recently, how about my son offering incense to Auntie?" This is the only way Li Xian came up with, to isolate first, otherwise he will have to hear that Empress Wu personally killed his son news.

Empress Wu naturally knew what Li Xian meant, waved her hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to say so much, I know what to do, you are just too timid."

Empress Wu was also satisfied and dissatisfied with Li Xian. If Ming Chongyan's words were applied to Li Xian at the beginning, Li Xian's performance would definitely not be like this. He probably dared to kill Li Hong quickly and then sit on the prince's position!

Such a son is indeed very worry-free when she needs her son to take the lead, but when she doesn't need it, a son who is too strong and will fight for territory with her is really unlovable. In comparison, Empress Wu would rather need to do it When I went to bed, I didn't want to get a son who would make things difficult for me.

Therefore, Li Xian is a very suitable candidate for the puppet prince, because he is obedient, and the most important thing is that he has no wife and no children, so it is not difficult to stand up and dispose of him.

After listening to Empress Wu's words, Li Xian smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I'm timid, but we are brothers after all, and we can't make flesh and blood suspicious because of illusory hexagrams."

He is a conscientious child. Empress Wu made a comment on Li Xian. She knew Li Xian's background. These days, brothers can still beat their heads because of their family property, not to mention that his family property is still the largest in the world. Li Xian can really regard Li Xian as a brother, if he is weaker, he should be weaker, at least he has a conscience, and he will not fight openly with his mother.

Of course, Li Xian's words also reached the ears of Li Zhi and Li Xian, and Li Xian said at the time: "Qilang is too careful, he is my brother, how can I not understand him?"

In terms of political struggle, Li Xian never cared about Li Xian—except for Zheng Qi, all the people around him belonged to Li Zhi. No matter how strong his personal energy is, what would be the use if Li Zhi disagreed?

Li Zhi sighed, looked up at Li Xian and said, "Balang is getting married, you have to prepare well."

Li Xian bowed to accept the order in an instant, yes, Li Xian and Empress Wu pinched each other too lively before, even more than when Li Hong was at the beginning, Li Zhi also felt a little tired, he could help, but that would only However, it was just a matter of talking to the troublemakers, so Li Zhi thought of an idea of ​​letting new topics cover up old ones.

So Li Zhi directly announced Li Lun's marriage news, and asked everyone to prepare red envelope bombs to attend his son's wedding, so the gossip in Luoyang was transferred to the gossip about the princess.

After Li Lun got married, Li Xian finally had something to do, and he gave Li Lun an extra share in addition to the prescribed gift.Of course, this thing was given privately, and he made a special trip to Xiangwang's mansion just for this matter.

As a result, when he arrived at Prince Xiang's Mansion, he saw Li Lun looking a little unhappy, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that you are going to get married, your expression is not right?Or do you not like brides?If this is the case...it's a bit troublesome, after all, it was chosen by Li Zhi.

But think about it, there is no such thing as free love in this era, isn't it the same for all married people?It would be nice to meet once before marriage. Li Lun is dissatisfied with his fiancée now. In the future... what will the girl do?

Li Xian was a little worried, but he knew that these things should not be taken care of. In the end, he never thought that Li Lun was not because he didn't like the future princess, but because he felt worthless for Li Xian!

Li Xian had never been married before and came here just to chat with Li Lun, so Li Lun said, "Brother Seven is also the son of my father and mother, why is he so afraid of the prince?" He was talking about Li Xian running away. The matter of going to farm the land was also the point of Li Lun's anger. The dignified prince was forced to go out to farm the land. Is there any law for the king?

Li Xian patted Li Lun's head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that we are brothers after all, not to mention that a son of man must also consider his parents."

In front of Li Lun, Li Xian couldn't say that he was cowardly, so he had to cover it up with righteousness. Although Li Lun was dissatisfied, he couldn't refute this, but said: "Brother Seven is not afraid that someone will make an inch."

Does he mean that if you retire, you won't be afraid that the crown prince will attack you?Li Xian smiled and didn't speak, Li Xian was so full that he still wanted to torment him.

As a result, no one expected that it was not Empress Wu or Li Xian who took Li Xian first, but Li Zhi.

The imperial edict said: "Shouwang Fu, General Yunhui Zheng Qi is the governor of Suzhou."
