Crossing the East Palace

The fourth prince was named Yiwang early, because in the past few years, he has only one son under his knees, and none of his wives and concubines have conceived again. This son has always been well-behaved and sensible.

Then, the son is gone.

The fourth prince ran to the stable, and saw the dignified and virtuous fourth prince and concubine in the past, kneeling on the ground without any image, holding her son and weeping bitterly.

The fourth prince stepped forward in a daze, wanting to take the child from the fourth concubine's hand.

Seeing him coming, the fourth concubine hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord, they all lied to me, right? Our child, is he still doing well, right? He's just tired and fell asleep. Wait until he sleeps enough Now, you can wake up, can't you? Isn't it?"

Tears flowed from the fourth prince's eyes, and he hugged the fourth prince concubine and the child.

Tang Luomin, he said so many "future" things, and he has such a powerful "prediction" ability, why didn't he predict that his son would have such a disaster today?

The fourth prince suddenly felt hatred in his eyes.

He is going to Fujian, he wants to meet the twelve princes again!

The death of the youngest son of Prince Yi's Mansion did not attract much attention in Chang'an City.

After all, the status of the fourth prince is inherently embarrassing. Although he works honestly and diligently on weekdays, he doesn't dare to show his head in ordinary matters.Everyone treats him with neither respect nor harshness.But it was obviously impossible for them to take the death of the fourth prince's only son to heart.

It's only been half a month, and the city of Chang'an is still very lively.

An emperor is gone, and there is still the prince of Jianguo sitting in charge, no one dares to act recklessly; if a prince dies, it is only the son of the fourth prince who is not valued by others, how important is it?

Ordinary people don't take it seriously, but the fourth prince suddenly lost his only son, and his heart is depressed, which can be seen.

He stood in the study, looked at the servant with a slight smile on his face, and suddenly dropped something on the table.

The book boy rushed in, seeing the anger on the fourth prince's face, he immediately knelt down.

It wasn't until the fourth prince sat down slowly that the book boy took the courage to start packing the things in the study.

I'm going to see the twelve princes.

The fourth prince finally made up his mind.

On the second day, after discussing matters in the East Palace, the fourth prince did not leave, but told Tang Luojin that he wanted to go to Fujian.

Tang Luojin's cold eyes fixed on the fourth prince.

The fourth prince had prepared a lot of excuses and rhetoric, but he couldn't say it immediately. After a while, he regained his senses and reluctantly said: "I plan to go to Fujian to have a look at the twelve princes. By the way... My child prays."

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he felt that his excuse was too bad, but he didn't want the prince to open his mouth, but thought of a better reason for him.

"Speaking of which, Min'er and my little nephew are still the same age." Tang Luojin said slowly, "It's not surprising that Brother Sihuang wants to see Min'er because of his nephew. However, Brother Sihuang has always been It is the right-hand man of the orphan, Brother Si Huang is going here, but he can't just go to Fujian for nothing, this time, Brother Si Huang will do some official business by the way."

Seeing that Tang Luojin didn't doubt him, the fourth prince was relieved, he didn't even ask any questions, and immediately agreed.

Tang Luojin nodded slightly, and turned to the long channel beside her: "The imperial doctor who I asked you to invite, has you come?"

In fact, there is no imperial doctor at all, but Chang Qu still cleverly said: "This servant is going to serve you in front of you. If you ask the imperial physician to do the work, this servant will be handed over to your apprentice. Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant's apprentice is smart. I guess I will wait a little longer." With just a cup of tea, the imperial physician can be invited."

Tang Luojin gave a soft "hmm".

The fourth prince had no choice but to say: "The prince is not feeling well?"

Tang Luojin frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "I'm alone at my knees, and I don't have a son."

The fourth prince was startled.

"All of Gu's concubines have been diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, and there is nothing wrong with them, so... Gu wonders if the poison that Gu was poisoned seven or eight years ago is still in Gu's body, causing Gu to die until now. There is no child yet. That's why orphans will invite the imperial physician..." Tang Luojin suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Brother Four has no other children besides his nephew."

The fourth prince was startled suddenly.The prince had no son, he had laughed at it behind his back, but he woke up when he heard the prince's words - in the past, he was not much better than the prince in the relationship between children, now, at least the prince will not be killed because of the funeral. son and sad.

Could it be that he accidentally fell for someone else's trick?

The fourth prince had doubts all his life, so he left in a hurry.

After the fourth prince left, Tang Luojin curled up her fingers and knocked on the table.

In fact, as far as Tang Luojin was concerned, since the fourth prince wanted to seize the reserve position, Tang Luojin was unwilling to accommodate him anymore.It's a pity that he wanted to punish the fourth prince, but he still had to take into account Emperor Tianyuan.

Emperor Tianyuan is the emperor and the father.When Emperor Tianyuan killed the second prince, his heart was already broken.Later, the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth princes died one after another. Emperor Tianyuan, the Empress Dowager, and Tang Luojin all set out to investigate the matter, hoping to find out the culprit. As a result, none of the three parties found anything. It can be seen that the deaths of these three princes were all accidents.

Although the queen mother is sad, she is old and has experienced a lot, so she will not be too sad.Needless to say, Tang Luojin, although he regretted the loss of a few babbling children, but he hadn't met them a few times, so naturally he couldn't say he was sad.

However, Tang Luojin knew that Emperor Tianyuan was very sad.

Emperor Tianyuan was a father, and a loving father, a loving father who would favor Tang Luojin and miss other children.

Therefore, even though Tang Luojin was annoyed by the fourth prince's thoughts, she also hoped that the fourth prince could turn around and be right.Otherwise, in the battle for the reserve position, he would either become king or become a bandit, and he would no longer have a second choice.

Even if Emperor Tianyuan would be sad because of this, he would not tolerate the fourth prince anymore.

Tang Luojin didn't pay too much attention to the matter of the fourth prince.Although the fourth prince has the heart to seize the heir, but the fourth prince does not have enough power behind him, even if he wants to do something, it will not be easy.Therefore, after Tang Luojin arranged for someone to supervise the fourth prince and the fourth prince's concubine, he stopped thinking about the fourth prince.

——Thinking about it, after the fourth prince went back and checked his body, the first thing to do was not to deal with him, but to deal with the person who made him unable to have children.

After thinking about it, Tang Luojin turned her attention to other things.

Wa Kingdom and Goryeo's frequent testing on the border of Datang has annoyed Tang Luojin a long time ago.

Taking out the map, Tang Luojin looked at the map of Koryo, feeling slightly aware of it.

Goryeo was not originally a small country, but was composed of three small countries: Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

Tang Luojin carefully looked at the map from 20 years ago, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Since Goryeo is disobedient, then go back to the original split state.

Undoubtedly, Baekje and Silla can still become the base of Datang, not a subsidiary country.

As for the country of Wa... the people of the country of Wa are cunning. When they see that Datang has no time to deal with it, they immediately attack the border of Datang, burning, killing and looting, taking as much advantage as they can; Wa Guo immediately bowed his head and apologized knowingly, which made Da Tang extremely aggrieved.

Tang Luojin knocked on the map of Wa Kingdom, and then took a look at the map of Koryo. In the end, he regretted temporarily giving up the matter of using soldiers to teach Wa Kingdom, but calculated how to use the least amount of troops to split Goryeo again, deter Wa Kingdom, and Do not delay the military supplies to the Turkic border.

Tang Luojin thought about it until it was almost noon, so she asked Changqu to take people to invite the prime ministers, the six ministers, and the soldiers who had led troops to fight against Goryeo and Japan to come to discuss matters.

It wasn't until the end of that night that Tang Luojin let her go, saying: "Your lords have worked hard today, Gu Yuan should send you out of the palace, but it's getting late and the gate of the palace is closed. Why don't you lords rest in the East Palace for a day? Tomorrow morning, Gu will send palace servants to your homes to get a change of clothes, so that tomorrow's Eastern Palace will not be delayed."

Prime Minister Li bowed and cupped his hands, and said first: "The prince is for the country and the people, and you don't feel hard. As for the other things, the prince has thoughtful arrangements and is considerate to the ministers, so the ministers are naturally happy. Thank you, the prince."

Tang Luojin helped Prime Minister Li up, and said: "The prime minister is getting old, he should take a rest, after all, he is lonely and reckless, and has forgotten the time."

Everyone was polite again, and then they were led away by the palace servants, and each rested in the guest courtyard.

Soon some palace people brought supper over, because it was summer, all of them were refreshing and delicious meals.To the older ministers, they sent soft and glutinous meals.After the meal, another palace servant brought water, and at the same time, two little eunuchs who could do simple massages helped massage their bodies, and the other little eunuch washed their hair and used it before bathing. Towels dry off.

The incense for sleeping was lit in the room, and all the ministers fell asleep peacefully immediately.

When they woke up the next day, their changed clothes were also brought over. After freshening up, they also used a bowl of blood bird's nest with the prince. The prince asked about yesterday's rest, and then they were released in the front garden. Walk around, relax, and wait for other courtiers who came to the East Palace to deliver memorials and discuss matters.

Qin Xiang took the lead in sighing: "Usually, I only know that the prince is smart, strategizing, martial arts and martial arts are first-class, and his ability to deal with political affairs is also great, but I don't know that the prince is not only powerful in these things, but also has a heart for us ministers."

In the past, the prince purposely stayed away from them, and what they saw was a cold-faced prince with no expression on his face.Even though the prince was really good-looking, and there was a particularly reassuring Guanyin mole on his forehead, but the prince's identity was there, and he never liked to laugh. As a result, although many ministers admired the prince, they were also a little afraid of him.

But after yesterday and today, they feel that this prince is still very generous to others.

Prime Minister Li said slowly: "Just looking at the prince's kindness to the eldest prince, I know that this prince is incomparable."

Everyone was silent for a while, without saying anything, but they really took the crown prince more seriously in their hearts—awe and obedience.

On this day, the East Palace was discussing matters, but the fourth prince did not come.

Tang Luojin knew it well, and didn't say anything else, but directly discussed the matter.

As for Tang Luojin's plan to divide Goryeo, everyone agreed with both hands.

Goryeo is only a small country, but even though the country is small, it looks honest on weekdays.As long as there is a chance, he will catch Datang and bite off a piece of meat.It doesn't hurt if you say it hurts, but it's a pity if you say it's not a pity. After the bite is over, he will apologize immediately, just like the Japanese country.Datang took it, but he couldn't.It would be even better if Koryo can be divided, and even all of them can be included as a vassal state of Datang.

It's just that if we want to divide, we must first rely on internal response, second rely on war, and third rely on politics.

Qin Xiang was cunning and thought of the easiest way: "My uncle attacked Goryeo before, and Goryeo was still in the Three Kingdoms at that time. I heard that Goryeo unified the Three Kingdoms and killed all the men in Silla and Baekje, including babies. But the girls stayed. The two princesses of Silla and Baekje who were born in the first place were both married and had children. The two princesses are old and have no ambition to win, but their children..."

Tang Luojin looked at him.

Qin Xiang continued: "Among their children, there are men who want to restore the country. At that time, Baekje and Silla were broken, and these princesses were only concubines when they married. The concubine's son will inevitably think more What's more, they could have a higher status. If His Highness wants to divide them, the most economical way is to marry the sister of someone who wants to restore the country to the East Palace to express His Highness's support. Then support some The military supplies and the strength of the troops made Goryeo fight again. In this way, Goryeo would not be able to spare and covet Datang again. Moreover, even if the blood left by Silla and Baekje were lost, Goryeo would definitely have paid well at that time. Too much damage, Datang will invade Korea in one fell swoop, and completely include it as Datang's province, this is the best way."

As soon as Qin Xiang's method came out, everyone praised it.

Although Datang is not besieged on all sides now, the surrounding small countries, Turks, and barbarians always have the intention to deal with Datang. Although Datang can defend, it is not a long-term solution.Instead of waiting for them to call and then calling them back, it would be better...to simply let their territory become Datang's territory.

When everyone thought of this festival, they all opened their mouths and asked the prince to "sacrifice" to marry the daughter of the blood left by Silla and Baekje.Of course, saying it was a marriage was just a polite word. After entering the door, she was still a concubine.

Tang Luojin: "...Why don't you give it to my father? My father said that no matter how big or small, I can temporarily make decisions for him."

Therefore, when the father is not around, it should be... no problem to put a few more people in the father's harem, right?

All the adults: "..."

It was Prime Minister Li who was well-informed, came back to his senses, and tried to persuade: "Baekje and Silla are not stupid. They want to restore the country, and want to restore the country for a long time, so they must choose the prince. Yes." After all, it will take several years for the restoration of the country alone. After the restoration of the country, Datang will continue to be the backer, slowly gain a firm foothold step by step, and then beat Gao Li to the ground, and even put It will take time to beat each other to the ground and reunite the Three Kingdoms.

Although Emperor Tianyuan looked in good health, he was in his late forties.In comparison, they would prefer to choose a young and prestigious prince.

Especially this prince is not only young, but also has no son yet.

Being young means being frivolous when it comes to matters between men and women, and it is very likely that under the tenderness and tenderness of the woman they sent, the woman will give birth to an heir; having no son for the time being means... the hope of the previous matter easier to achieve.

Tang Luojin, who understood Prime Minister Li's latent hint: "..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the girl was sent by their mother and elder brother, she must be very well-behaved. If Your Highness likes it, just take a look at it. If you don't like it, you will be thrown into the cold palace directly. The legacy of Silla and Baekje is also a word." I dare not say anything. What's more, even if those women are married in Korea, they can only be concubines, and they are just laughed at for their origin, so it's better to marry us in Datang."

Tang Luojin said expressionlessly: "Let's discuss this matter again. Now, let's talk about the military supplies on the Turkic border..."

Everyone: "..."

A month later, Tang Luojin still agreed to the matter, married the daughter of the two daughters left by the original Baekje and Silla royal families, and entered the East Palace.The dowry is military supplies and many soldiers.

Gao Li was completely confused.

The Japanese kingdom also shrank.

Tang Luojin also had more time to pay attention to the battlefield on the Turkic border and prepare military supplies for it.For the matter of scheming, even he must make sacrifices.He only hoped that when he went further in the future, he could truly reject these things in one go.

At the same time, the fourth prince finally arrived at the Baifo Temple in Fujian.

The twelfth prince was still struggling, denying that the fourth prince was infertile, but the fourth prince grabbed him by the throat——

"Do you think this king is a fool?" The fourth prince said every word, "Now this king can't even have any more children! What else do you care about now? Tang Luomin, you have to remember, this king is not Tang Luojin, you must allow yourself to be measured. Brother Youti, you have to be patient and weigh everything! If you don’t honestly tell me what you know one by one, this king will dare to kill you immediately Well, this king is a prince at any rate, and before he dies, he can always make a request. When the king arrives, he will ask to see the queen, and then kill the queen! Let you mother and son be reunited underground!"

The Twelfth Prince's eyes widened, his tongue sticking out slightly.

"Thanks to you, this king has nothing left. Since there is nothing, then this king must take that position into his arms. Otherwise, he will die, so what's the matter?" The fourth prince said with gloomy eyes, "As for you...whether you say it or not? If it is useless for you to ascend to the throne of God for this king, then...every word this king just said will come true!"

Afterwards, he strengthened his hand strength, disregarding the Twelfth Prince's physical appearance, he was only an eight-year-old child.

As for the Twelfth Prince, he only hated himself for seeing him wrong.

He thought the fourth prince was a sheep, but when he lifted the sheep's skin, he revealed that he was a vicious and cunning wolf.
