Tang Dynasty Never Night

After Li Xian sent the things over, he felt a deep pain in the ass. This morality has been lost to the point of no return, but the morality is lost. Li Xian still has his own affairs to deal with. What he needs to think about now is Pei Yan. Is his behavior in the end his own decision, or is it really instigated by Empress Wu.

If it was instigated by Empress Wu, then Cao Huaishun's appointment as the marching chief of Dingxiang Road may also have been written by Empress Wu, but why?Empress Wu would attack civil servants, but rarely attack generals. This has nothing to do with her lack of military power. After all, the distinction between civil servants and generals is not so obvious in today's court.

Good generals are rare, and it is impossible for Empress Wu not to know this, so compared to other ministers who opposed Empress Wu, Pei Xingjian suffered less retaliation. Now... Empress Wu sees that he is useless when he is old, so he can have no scruples Have you shot yet?

Li Xian thought over and over again, and finally decided to give him a title based on his real meritorious service, and named him the Duke of Wenxi County. Pei Yan's repeated obstructions were finally ignored by Li Xian.

If he has a different status, he will behave differently. If he is still the king of England, he will probably feel a little pity and put it aside. However, now that he is the prince, he must act in an upright, fair and just manner. Of course, this is a bit difficult, but Li Xian Don't mind being as fair as you can.

He also knows that it may not be good to fight against Empress Wu, but he needs to have an image, an image of uprightness, and he will definitely not be able to play tricks and tricks with Empress Wu, and he may not even be as powerful as Empress Wu in politics, but he It's not that he wants to compete with Empress Wu, he just wants to keep the crown prince, or his life.

If he succumbs now, and everyone thinks that he is being manipulated by Empress Wu, then the hearts of the people will be lost, and it will be too difficult to save his life in the hands of Empress Wu.He is Empress Wu's son, but he is not his son. He and Empress Wu both know very well that Empress Wu even Li Hong and Li Xian would abolish him without hesitation. Can he please?

Li Xian resisted the pressure, but Pei Xingjian wrote to Li Xian at this time, saying that he knew that he was obtuse by nature, and that he was old, not to mention that this time he was only doing crimes and meritorious deeds, so he should not deserve such a high position.

Li Xian sighed in his heart. He knew that Pei Xingjian was telling him not to resist. After this time, Pei Xingjian was probably going to retire, so he would rather not be the Duke of the county than embarrass Li Xian. Pei Xingjian lived so much, He has caught up with the change of prince in this dynasty, and he understands Empress Wu's energy better. Pei Xingjian is worried that Li Xian will become the next Li Xian.

Li Xian wrote a reply letter very honestly, and what he said was very simple: If a meritorious person can't get the merit he deserves, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel disappointed?

As the crown prince, Li Xian wants to spread positive energy, but he needs to communicate with Empress Wu. If the people below make the decision privately, he will help Empress Wu establish a positive image. If not, he doesn't care. As for whether there will be rumors, He really can't control it.

As a result, he just wrote a letter to Empress Wu, and Empress Wu has already taken emergency measures, and directly rewarded Pei Xingjian's wife, Kudi, in the name of Tianhou, and... also fell in love with Kudi at first sight. The family also believed in Buddhism, and the two women seemed to have found a confidant. Since then, Empress Wu often summoned the Kudi family to enter the palace, and was rewarded from time to time. For Mrs. Huayang.

For a while, the voices questioning Empress Wu were much less, and Li Xian had no choice but to silently give Empress Wu a thumbs up.However, he really believed that Empress Wu had taken a fancy to Mrs. Ku Di, otherwise, even if she was acting as a play, Empress Wu would not recruit Mrs. Ku Di into the palace over and over again.

Now that Empress Wu is no longer targeting Pei Xingjian's family, I think He Lanminzhi may be able to give Empress Wu another big surprise when she appears in Luoyang.

He Lanminzhi really surprised Empress Wu very much. Empress Wu never thought that her nephew who was not a great talent in the past, that is, who was better at reading, would become a great hero. This time He Lanminzhi's title was not promoted, but Li Xian After reading the report below, I found that He Lanminzhi actually has the ability to become the captain of Shangfu Zhechong.

To be honest, his mood was quite complicated at the time. Shangfu Zhechong Duwei was a fourth-rank upper rank. This official position is not low. The most important thing is that this is an official position with real power. He really has soldiers and horses under him.

With a complicated heart, Li Xian still waved He Lanmin's hand and directly named He Lanmin as the captain of Yujing Zhechong. This can be regarded as taking care of him. It's under Li Xian's nose.Li Xian's actions seem to better reflect his integrity. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness and the former Zhou Guogong have achieved half of the love and killing each other. Back then, the two of them openly fought in the Duke's mansion. His Royal Highness They were all beaten up and vomited blood - until now this matter is still being talked about.

It can be said that the relationship between these two people is very bad. Later, His Royal Highness was imprisoned, but everyone felt that Empress Wu had to do so because of her mother's request. I didn't see that Empress Wu deliberately married Princess Xuancheng. For He Lanmin?It's a pity that Empress Wu never thought that Princess Xuancheng would piss her mother to death. Empress Wu was so angry that she drove He Lanminzhi out of Beijing.

The above is the reason why Li Xian and He Lanminzhi killed each other. Li Xian felt that he had reason to believe that it was the result of the people's processing. To be honest, he himself didn't know that he and He Lanminzhi had reached this point. This relationship can't be said to be good or that bad. Speaking of which, He Lanmin's attitude towards Li Xian has always been good, but it's just that Li Xian has been unilaterally despising him.

Now Li Xian is not so simple anymore, he can win over all the forces that can be drawn, but he doesn't need them to do anything for him, as long as they are on his side.

He Lanminzhi, since the prodigal son has turned back, let's investigate it.But this time He Lanminzhi came back with the large army, because Li Zhi and Empress Wu were also going back to Chang'an.

Over the years, Li Zhi and Empress Wu almost used Luoyang as their base camp, but this time they came back for the wedding of Princess Taiping.To be honest, when he saw Li Zhi's imperial edict, Li Xian felt a little emotional for a moment. The little girl back then is now old enough to get married.

Of course, the princess's marriage was not so hasty. Li Zhi had just decided on the candidate for the son-in-law. The final place to marry was Chang'an. After all, Chang'an City was very grand after so many years of construction. I don't want to wrong my daughter, this is the only daughter of the two of them, the wedding must be very grand.

It's just that Li Zhi, as the emperor, couldn't officiate his daughter's marriage. The officiant must be a respected elder, but Li Zhi chose Li Xian, his brother, to marry his daughter, and Princess Taiping's marriage was also handed over to him. He went to make arrangements.

When Li Zhi and Empress Wu brought it up, they just wanted to supervise Li Xian. When Li Xian received the edict, he fell into deep thought. Although Xue Shao had already been selected as the son-in-law this year, it would take next year to get married, so At that time, he will preside over his younger sister's wedding at the "old age" of 26 years old. Does this count as experiencing the feeling of marrying a daughter?

But speaking of it, Princess Taiping is not a daughter in Li Xian's place, so he is even more worried about Princess Taiping. Strictly speaking, Princess Taiping's first marriage is not low in history, because Princess Taiping at that time Still a quiet princess, of course, this quietness is relative to the majority of male compatriots.

In Li Xian's view, it's nothing for a royal daughter to want to participate in political affairs. You can do it if you have the ability, but only in the right way. I didn't have much contact with Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping grew up beside Empress Wu, so I don't have to think about integrity.

What Li Xian was worried about was not this matter, but that Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi would participate in the rebellion in the future, and Xue Shao was killed by Wu Zetian because of this, and then...Princess Taiping became a widow.

Anyone who loves his sister is unlikely to be willing to let her suffer such a big blow, but this is a problem for the future, what he needs to do now is... demolition!

Yes, Princess Taiping's wedding is undoubtedly the grandest. Li Hong's marriage was not so grand at the time. The reason why Li Hong is used for comparison is because Li Hong is the only one who married a wife in the position of prince. When Li Xian married a wife He himself was still a prince, and later he became the crown prince, so Fang became the crown princess. When he came to Li Xian's place...he didn't marry at all.

When Li Xian saw the specifications of the wedding car, his eyes went dark—Nimma, it's so wide, although it may not be wider than the main road of Chang'an, but if you count the entourage and the motorcade, the road is not wide enough.

So now the problem is, either reduce the size of the wedding car, or dig trees and demolish walls to widen the road. Comparing these two, it is undoubtedly the first one that is more economical, but Li Xian dare not say it directly. Zhizhi might not know it, but he still agreed to Empress Wu's application, so it can only be said that in his eyes, he doesn't care how much money his daughter gets married.

While struggling, Li Xian welcomed Li Zhi and Empress Wu. For some reason, Li Xian always felt that it took them a long time to return to Chang'an from Luoyang this time.

It's just that when Li Zhi was really welcomed, Li Xian knew why - Li Zhi looked much older than before he came, Li Xian looked at his almost white hair and much thinner body than before, For a moment, Li Xian couldn't believe that this was Li Zhi. You must know that Li Zhi is only 54 years old this year.

Even if the medical environment in ancient times was not so good, people with long lives abound in this dynasty. Liu Rengui is over 80 this year, Pei Xingjian is over 60, and now Li Zhi looks older than them, maybe the emperor always Don't live long.

Li Xian sent his parents back to Daming Palace, and reported to work the next day with various regulations. Even though Li Zhi let him go, Li Xian still gathered some important things and waited for them. Report it after seeing his father, and by the way... scold each other.

Well, Li Xian is very self-aware. Even if Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui think he is doing well when he handles government affairs, he knows that from the perspective of his subordinates, he may have done a good job, but from the perspective of the emperor, he may Not doing enough.

So he was ready to be scolded. Of course, Li Zhi has always been a very gentle person and rarely lost his temper, so being scolded by him didn't make Li Xian feel psychologically stressed.After two days of recuperation, Li Zhi began to distribute the report card to Li Xian.

To be honest, Li Zhi always felt that he seemed to underestimate this son, not only him, everyone from Empress Wu to civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty seemed to underestimate him.He always felt that Li Xian was too weak and might not be able to shoulder the burden of governing a country, but now the facts proved that the other party not only shouldered it, but did a good job.

After Li Zhi praised Li Xian, he did not rush to criticize him, but instead asked: "I heard that you don't have a lot of time to deal with government affairs every day?"

Li Xian was ashamed for a moment. His words and deeds as the crown prince were also recorded by official historians. Li Xian had read the records about Li Hong and Li Xian before, and he had even read the records of Li Zhi when he was the prince. Of course, these The record is limited to when the crown prince was in charge of the country. I have to say that in terms of diligence, he is probably the worst.

Li Hong was the most diligent. It was difficult for him to deal with government affairs for such a long time every day while dragging his sick body, but Li Xian always felt that it was because of this that his exhausted efforts made his body become so bad. Li Zhi and Li Xian spent about the same amount of time dealing with government affairs, probably Li Xian was also imitating Li Zhi, and I don't know who Li Zhi imitated, he had the shortest time.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Li Zhi asked again: "Why?"

Li Xian was not in a hurry to plead guilty, but thought for a while and said seriously: "Probably there are more people around me who help me. I have to thank Dad." Li Xian smiled while talking: "My own abilities are limited, and some things Naturally, I have to leave it to someone who is more familiar with it, I am not omnipotent, how can I take care of everything I encounter?"

Yes, this is really thanks to Li Zhi. When Li Hong and Li Xian were in charge of the country, Li Zhi probably did not send too many people to help them because he was at ease with them, but when it came to Li Xian... probably felt that Li Xian was not It's reliable, Li Zhi almost moved the entire imperial court here.

What Li Xian meant was that if there were fewer people, his workload would be more, and if there were more people, his workload would naturally be less.After Li Zhi heard this, he laughed and said nothing. Everyone knows that this has nothing to do with the number of people. They are guarding against Empress Wu's people, so they won't let them touch too many things, but Li Xian is not, as long as you are in this position, as long as you are doing this, then go to work, don't try to push things away For others, if you really don't work hard, don't blame the prince for not giving you face.

It's very aboveboard, without any conspiracy or tricks, if you can do it, you can go to it, if you can't, you can get out, no one can say anything.

But here in Li Xian, it's actually very simple—since you are still so free to connect up and down from time to time to plot tricks, why not use this time to work, I can have a holiday when you work, and Saburo of Li Xian's family is already fast. It's my third birthday, and the little buns at this age are at their cutest. I'll go play with my pet nephew while you guys are working, which is great.

So, everyone found that the prince, whom they had been worried about not being able to support Empress Wu, had actually restrained Empress Wu's party.

Li Zhi asked again, and Li Xian said very confidently: "Since those people can sit in this position, it proves that they have real skills. The Tang Dynasty is not so corrupt, and the mediocre can occupy high positions. If this is the case, So wouldn’t it be normal for them to do their best to contribute to the construction of Datang?”

It's normal, but it's you who are abnormal. Everyone wants to squeeze out political enemies, and wants nothing to be done to political enemies. You...you just cultivated political enemies. Let's see what you do in the future!

Li Zhi wanted to ask this question, but he couldn't just ask it casually. It was very easy when she arrived at Empress Wu's place. She was used to talking straight to Li Xian, so she asked it directly.

This is quite strange. When Empress Wu pinched her first two sons, those two sons wore a mask of filial sons when they faced her. Empress Wu would naturally wear a mask of loving mother. When it comes to Li Xian... He knew Empress Wu would target him, but his attitude remained the same.

As for Li Xian's acting... Hehe, if this guy's acting skills can't be seen by Empress Wu, he won't have to shrink back for so many years, so Empress Wu found out that Li Xian didn't seem to take all her temptations seriously. Same.

After listening to Empress Wu's question, Li Xian said sincerely: "Because I know that Aunt also wants to make Datang better."

Empress Wu was stunned for a moment, Li Xian smiled: "I know what Auntie is fighting for, but it doesn't mean Auntie doesn't have Datang in her heart and doesn't expect Datang to be good. Aren't the people promoted by Auntie also have real talents and real learning? Is it?" It's just that the lower limit of morality can't be seen, Li Xian paused and continued: "If Datang gets worse and worse, what's the use of fighting for it? So I don't worry about them. No matter how much we fight, no matter how much we fight, we will aim at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in front of the real big event."

Seeing Li Xian's sincere expression, Empress Wu suddenly smiled: "Really? Don't you fear the future?"

Li Xian naturally knew what Empress Wu was referring to. After thinking carefully, he said, "Probably because I don't have the lofty ambitions of my brothers. I think as long as this country can be changed for the better, there is nothing unacceptable."

After listening to Li Xian's words, Empress Wu remembered Li Xian's words that she would own the whole world. For a while, Empress Wu couldn't decide whether Li Xian was hinting at her.

In fact, Li Xian's thinking is, don't make things difficult for me and I will not make things difficult for you. You can be a queen if you want, but I will never be a deposed prince. Let's make plans in the meantime, but this sentence cannot Speaking out, Li Zhi's control over the court is indeed not as strong as Empress Wu, but it does not mean that he really knows nothing about the conversation between himself and Empress Wu.

So Li Xian could only remind Empress Wu from another aspect: "Does Aunt know that I want to build an academy?"

After hearing this, Empress Wu took a deep look at Li Xian, nodded and said, "I've heard it, why did you remember to say this?"

Li Xian said with a hippie smile: "Then... Aunt, don't you plan to invest?"

Empress Wu understood Li Xian's intentions in an instant. The prototype of the academy's plan had already come out, but it was not carried out - this matter was handled by Li Xian himself, and he really didn't have time to worry about it now. However, he is now asking Empress Wu to invest, that is to say, he has handed over the site of this academy to Empress Wu.

This academy can be said to be the reserve of future pillars of the imperial court. Of course, it may not be able to occupy a large position in the imperial court, but what if it is not enough for one year or two years?What about five or ten years?Even if these people gather at the grassroots level, they are a force. This is a disguised gift to Empress Wu Capital.

Empress Wu smiled and pinched Li Xian's face and said, "You're too busy to leave it to Auntie? It's alright, alright, I understand, you can write a charter later."

After hearing this, Li Xian immediately looked depressed: "Do you still want me to come?"

Empress Wu didn't speak any more and sent her son away. She needed to sort out her thoughts.After Li Xian left the Hanyuan Palace, he was slightly relieved. He felt very happy when he thought that Zheng Qi had probably received his news and went to another courtyard. stay and go.

It is said that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, Li Xian feels that Zheng Qi, a hungry wolf, is getting more and more difficult to deal with, his waist is about to be broken.As a result, after the guy was satisfied, he dressed him and whispered in his ear: "I received your gift, but it's far from yours."

old rascal!Li Xian was so tormented that he didn't even have the strength to scold him, so he could only stare at him and turn around to leave, but Zheng Qi pulled him back and raised his eyebrows and said: "Throw it away when you're done, Your Highness is too ruthless, right? "

Li Xian looked up at the sky, then turned to Zheng Qi and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it, I'm going back."

What's so good about being a prince, the gate control is so strict, if you don't go back to the palace, you can't wait to report to everyone you meet. He used to be fine in Chang'an, but Zheng Qi wasn't here at that time, and he didn't want to go out. Now that Zheng Qi is here, so are the parents. There is nothing more difficult than this in life.

Zheng Qi pulled Li Xian to sit in his arms, and began to exchange political information while massaging Li Xian's waist. Zheng Qi obviously knew what Li Xian did, so what if the academy's territory was given to Empress Wu?Don't forget that the teachers in the academy are from the Plum Blossom Academy, they are Li Xian's direct descendants, and...the textbooks they use are also edited by Li Xian. As a person who comes from a big education country, I want to mix some private things in it It's so easy.

Zheng Qi's massage technique was good, Li Xian felt much more comfortable and then asked, "Tell me, should I add another politics class and morality class?"
