What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

When He Lan Minyue said that her mother was forced to death by her aunt, He Lan Minzhi felt very headache.He was also worried that this younger sister, who was not smart enough, was getting into a dead end, so he quickly found all the servants who had served Wu Shun before, and asked about Wu Shun's illness before and after his death one by one.

He Lanminzhi followed Li Yue all these years, and the most important thing was logical thinking, and he directly sorted out the things that happened these days according to the time, and then Helan Minyue became a little ashamed.

The matter was actually very simple. On that day, Wu Shun brought He Lan Minyue into the palace, but He Lan Minyue said that he had learned a new dance and wanted to show it to the saints. Therefore, He Lan Minyue stayed and Wu Shun went back. I didn't meet Empress Wu at all on the road, so naturally there was no such thing as Empress Wu threatening Wushun.Wu Shun took a selfie in the mirror when she returned home, and she looked dispirited. Afterwards, she began to drink and entertain herself in the water pavilion.It's not that the people serving below have never persuaded her, but who can persuade her!She drank too much wine and blew the cold wind again, and then she was tired. She just drank some drinks and rested for a day, and then she felt better, so she didn't take it seriously again. irreparable.

No matter how stupid He Lan Minyue was, she knew what was going on. Her mother was lamenting that her age had passed away, and she was hurting the spring and autumn. In the end, she drank too much and got a cold. The doctor didn't make a wrong diagnosis, and there was no conspiracy.

He Lan Minzhi looked at this slightly haggard, but still stunningly beautiful younger sister, and he sighed: "Min Yue, you have chosen your own path, and I have nothing to say as an elder brother, but the court is no better than you." In other places, before you do things, think about the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu back then. One of them had a family background and the other had children, but what about you? Ask yourself, what do you have besides beauty?"

He Lan Minyue said disapprovingly: "But the saint doesn't like them?"

He Lanminzhi was speechless immediately, it was too unreliable to pin everything on the saint's favor!However, being silly and sweet is better than being overwhelmed. It is better to fight against Empress Wu. Therefore, he just said: "Don't always regard your aunt as an imaginary enemy. Think about it first, can you I can't do what my aunt does. What my aunt cares about now is not the favor of a saint. Therefore, in this regard, the two of you have no competitive relationship. With the help of your aunt, a saint is free to talk to you. If my aunt quit, the sage would not know how much work it would take to deal with the government affairs every day. I heard that the sage has wind disease and cannot be exhausted, so you take good care of the sage. Thanks to you!"

He Lan Minyue pouted, and said angrily: "I know, I know, in your eyes, I am nothing but this face!" She was just complaining, for a girl of her age For her, she doesn't really care about power. To her, power is nothing more than a vassal of love, which means the honor given to her by her lover.And if the existence of power prevents love from being consummated, then love is naturally more important.

Seeing that He Lan Minyue had listened to the persuasion, He Lan Minzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Our family is now two brothers and sisters, if you are still reckless, how can I rest assured!"

He Lan Minyue was even more disapproving: "What, there is a saint here, who can bully me! But you, brother, you procrastinated and refused to get married a few years ago, and now you have to delay for a few years. What do you think?" For the love brain, nothing is more important than love, and my brother has no interest in this matter, how can this work?

When He Lanminzhi heard this, he immediately felt a headache. He sighed and said, "It's not good for a few years anyway, so let's talk about it when the time comes!"

He Lan Minyue rolled her eyes and thought about it. Unfortunately, her aunt did not have a daughter of the right age. It would be great if Princess Andingsi was still alive. Otherwise, with her brother's character and appearance, only the princess can match her. up.

In any case, He Lan Minyue's death-defying journey finally came to an end, and the murderous intention that Empress Wu had originally had in her heart also disappeared quietly.After all, there are only so many relatives by blood, and if one dies, one less will be lost.My sister had just passed away, and I wanted to take my niece into surgery, which was a little strange.However, Empress Wu valued He Lanminzhi very much. He was smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, and he was quite capable. Therefore, after Wushun was buried, Empress Wu mentioned He Lanminzhi's matter to Li Zhi.

"My sister has only a pair of children in this life, and the only thing I worry about before leaving is them!" Empress Wu knew Li Zhi's temperament, so she started to play the emotional card when she came up, "Minyue naturally has a saint to take care of you..."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi was a little embarrassed, he coughed dryly twice: "That's because Min Yue is your niece, Ah Wu!"

Empress Wu gave Li Zhi a cross-eyed look with a half-smile, but it was as if she was looking at him, which made Li Zhi's heart flutter, and she couldn't help but hugged Empress Wu's waist. There is nothing to say about Minyue's future. If the saint is willing, he can make her a noble concubine. However, Minzhi is different! There is no one in the Helan family, and her brother-in-law was only a viscount back then. At the end of the day, the concubine also told the sage before that our sisters have always been at odds with the two elder brothers above. Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are both mediocre people, it is a fluke to be able to inherit the title of county duke left by my father, this time the title of Zhou Guogong, I don't want to take advantage of them!"

Li Zhi also understands this very well. After all, if the title of Duke Ying was earned by the warrior Xun himself, the title of Duke Zhou was earned by Empress Wu. You have spent a lot of effort to get the benefits, but you cannot give Who is willing to take advantage of one's own people and enemies?Li Zhi himself is not a good person, so the grievances of Empress Wu are clearly in Li Zhi's appetite.Besides, Empress Wu wanted to give benefits to He Lanmin. In a sense, He Lanmin was also his own cheap son. Wu Shun had followed him for so many years, but in fact he didn't get much benefit. He didn't have any points, and even his daughter was involved, so naturally, this affection was all on He Lanmin, so it was right for He Lanmin to be given the Duke of Zhou's title.

Therefore, Li Zhi said: "Ah Wu is right, Min Zhi is a good boy, all he lacks is a family background, and I will decree later that Min Zhi will be adopted by his father-in-law as his grandson, and then he will inherit the position of Zhou Guogong!"

Empress Wu thanked him again: "The concubine is thanking the sage on Minzhi's behalf, and the sage is reasonable, but if she came from such a family, she would definitely say something that is not in accordance with the etiquette, which is really annoying!"

Empress Wu is very annoying to the Wu family now. Ever since she became a queen, the Wu family has always wanted to get some benefits from her. , but it has only been a few years since the Wu family really started, so there are not many good things. Empress Wu has been a queen for these years, and her eyes have long been spoiled, not to mention there is Li Yue, who never forgets to send anything new to the palace In terms of value, the value sent by the Wu family is not as good as that of the royal family, and in terms of freshness, it is not as good as what Li Yue sent. Even, Empress Wu heard that the Wu family used their own name to commit many crimes in Bingzhou, which made Empress Wu even more angry!What annoyed her was not that the Wu family ran amok, but that the Wu family dared to use their own name. It was already torn apart. Now I haven't forgiven you, you dare to do this, it is simply too deceitful!What annoyed Empress Wu the most was that the Wu family actually had some collusion with several aristocratic families, and there were rumors that Empress Wu was not filial or fraternal

Compared with the Wu family, He Lanminzhi is much more reliable. He grew up watching him since he was a child, and he has nothing else to rely on. If you don't give yourself to yourself, this is a typical one of your own people. If you don't give it to your own people, who will you give it to?

When Li Zhi heard what Empress Wu said about the aristocratic family, he also took it for granted. This kind of people are best at engaging in moral kidnapping, and they are not the ones who have such relatives!However, one should not be too hasty in dealing with aristocratic families. The prevalence of imperial examinations in recent years has indeed promoted a large number of poor students, but there is also a problem. It's too ugly, and these officials from poor families are of course honest and self-conscious, but there are more, it is really that they are officials for thousands of miles just for money, and their food is also ugly, so they are very attracted by these aristocratic families. Officials from family backgrounds seized the opportunity, and now, officials from humble families and wealthy families are now fighting fiercely in the court.Naturally, Li Zhi couldn't say that corruption didn't matter. Corruption of officials was not a good thing in all dynasties. You must know that the people were far away from the emperor. In their view, the local government represented the imperial court.

Don't think that during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the people really lived and worked in peace and contentment. Before Empress Wu proclaimed herself emperor, some people claimed to be empresses and rebelled directly, but they were quickly suppressed.Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, not only the nobles of the royal family have rebelled, but also the common people at the bottom.The reason why the common people at the bottom rebel is nothing more than the four words of officials forcing the people to rebel.

Although Li Zhi didn't really go deep into the people, he still knew how Li Tang came to be.Although the Sui Dynasty perished, all the powerful families pushed their hands, but that was because the people at the bottom could no longer live on. Perhaps there were also many officials from the powerful families who did the evil, but in the eyes of the common people, it was because of Yang Guang. This stupid gentleman.Therefore, even if the administration of officials cannot be completely clear, it should not be too corrupt, at least it must give the people below a way to survive.

Therefore, Li Zhi has no intention of pulling aside these disputes in the court. Anyway, there is no shortage of officials in Tang Dynasty now. Whoever is convicted will be exiled to Lingnan.However, the increasingly fierce party disputes in the court also made Li Zhi feel bored, and he didn't like the aristocratic family even more.After all, if the poor family made a mistake, he could easily deal with the other party, but if the aristocratic family made a mistake, there were all kinds of obstacles to deal with it, which was simply overwhelming.

Hearing Empress Wu's words at this moment, he immediately agreed deeply, sneered, and said: "These aristocratic families are the cancer of the Tang Dynasty. Sooner or later, I will let them know who the master of the Tang Dynasty is!"

Listening to Li Zhi's words, Empress Wu agreed in her heart, and after following Li Zhi's tone for a few words, she sighed: "Minzhi is indeed a good boy, but my sister's departure has delayed him again!"

Li Zhi naturally understood what Empress Wu meant, but he didn't take it seriously: "Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife, not to mention Minzhi's appearance, it's a big deal. Looking back, I will choose a clan princess for Minzhi, but our daughter is still too young! "Li Zhi didn't think of the two daughters of Concubine Xiao Shu at all. He was talking about the daughter of Empress Wu, that is, Princess Taiping.

Because of the premature death of Princess Andingsi, Empress Wu really loved this little daughter very much, and Li Zhi was the same. After all, compared to all the troublesome brats, a well-behaved little princess is more lovable .As for Princess Taiping, who is almost the only princess in the entire royal family, she is really loved by thousands of people.It's a pity that the princess is still a four-headed doll now, so it is naturally impossible to talk about marriage.

Empress Wu said teasingly: "Thanks to the fact that my daughter is too young, otherwise, how can this seniority be counted?" Anyway, it was just a joke, so Empress Wu didn't mind making a joke.

Li Zhi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't pay attention to this, does it?"

He Lanmin had long ago prepared for his marriage to be intervened by the emperor and the empress. He had no longing for marriage, or even for women. The few women he knew, from his grandmother to his mother, even his aunt and My younger sister is a very personable person, and in Minyue, the female style there is also very bold and bold, which makes it difficult for him not to be prejudiced against women. If he hadn't devoted most of his energy to research, he might become a Playboys who play with women are even scumbags.

Therefore, when Wushun's funeral was arranged, when He Lanminzhi met with the emperor and empress, He Lanminzhi heard them ask He Lanminzhi about their thoughts on the marriage. call the shots!"

Since Empress Wu has already planned to regard He Lanminzhi as her right-hand man in the future, a key person who will cheer for her in the court, and even in a sense, as the key heir to Empress Wu's political legacy, Empress Wu naturally hopes that He Lanminzhi's marriage will be in the hands of others. In his own hands, it was like Empress Wu wishing to control Li Yue's marriage back then. Li Yue's marriage was barely in line with Empress Wu's wishes. In fact, it is more critical. Therefore, Empress Wu needs to be more cautious about He Lanminzhi's marriage.

However, compared to marriage, Empress Wu was more concerned about another point: "Minzhi, you have experienced with the King of Min for several years, and you should be on your own. When you are filial piety, my aunt will arrange it for you!"

Li Zhi also felt that it was not good to keep He Lan Minzhi working in Minyue, so he also said: "Minzhi would like to be sent out to be the governor of the county, or would he like to be in Chang'an?"

He Lanmin immediately hesitated.
