Both Li Zhi and Empress Wu hesitated about the expectations of the children. To be honest, Li Yue was granted the status of a near-independent vassal king who founded a mansion and established a family, mainly because of the situation. Li Yue made too much contribution. If Li Yue is a legitimate prince, then it is a matter of course to make him a prince. The problem is that Li Yue is the son of the first emperor in name, which is more difficult.If I were a person, I might feel that Li Yue might be the master of the earthquake, so I should take more precautions against him.However, he is really the illegitimate child of the two, and he is not such a power-hungry personality. With such a mistake, Li Yue can be the current King of Fujian, while the other princes will not have this opportunity.If the enfeoffment system, the Seven Kings Rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty are really repeated, it will be a lesson from the past!

Although Li Xian didn't dare to show that he envied Li Yue to Li Zhi and Empress Wu, he inevitably said it several times in private.However, Empress Wu and Li Zhi didn't have this plan. After all, Li Xian was different from Li Yue. If Li Xian followed Li Yue's path and made meritorious service first, then it would threaten Li Hong's crown prince.Under normal circumstances, when the position of the crown prince is established, although it is not best to raise the other princes as waste, it is best not to have too much sense of existence, which will give him unrealistic expectations, just like in the past. Li Tai, isn't it because of Li Shimin's extra preference, and because Li Tai has indeed done a lot of things, that's why he wanted to compete with Li Chengqian.Maybe Li Shimin wanted to use Li Tai as a whetstone, but the whetstone was too powerful, and Li Chengqian's knife was too fragile, so it broke!Li Zhi and Empress Wu naturally didn't want their sons to repeat the same mistakes, so even though Li Xian was very smart, they never gave Li Xian special treatment, but treated Li Xian like the next two sons.

But the problem now is that, as long as many things are started, it may not be possible to continue to control them.For example, in the Han Dynasty, did the vassal kings who were entrusted want to rebel from the beginning?It's just that the situation changed later.Among other things, if you are also a vassal king, can your father be the emperor the same as your brother be the emperor?If the blood relationship on the throne is farther, it will be even more unreliable.Although you can continue to use the Tweet Token, but if it is not necessary for this kind of thing that may leave hidden dangers for future generations, it is better not to bother.In particular, there are not many clans in the Tang Dynasty who are honest. Maybe you just crowned him king, and then he is ready to rebel. The court can't always be ready to suppress the clan's rebellion!Neither Li Zhi nor Empress Wu would pin their hopes on their son being an honest man.

Their scruple at the moment is, after seeing Li Yue's situation in Minyue, will they also have the idea of ​​opening a mansion and building teeth?What would they do if they were born?

Li Xian looked at the silent appearance of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, and felt a little disappointed. Li Xian and Li Dan were not very eye-catching among brothers. After all, they were young, and the two emperors and empresses came here. Time is not so short of sons, so naturally he pays less attention to the two of them.If children are arrogant, it is entirely because of their parents' habit. These two have never been pampered by their parents, so naturally they don't have that much confidence, and they are relatively good at observing words and expressions. When they see Li Xian, they don't say a word. Naturally, he didn't say anything.That is to say, she is not very old at this moment, and has always been pampered by the emperor and empress. Although she is not lawless, she has no scruples. Princess Taiping hugged Empress Wu's arm and begged: "Mother, how long will Chang'an spend with Luoyang?" It’s too long, it’s meaningless at all, didn’t Aunt Xincheng also go to Minyue back then? Why can’t I do it!”

Li Zhi was immediately furious, did he allow Princess Xincheng to go?It was she who sneaked over by herself, and fortunately she was only a princess. If a prince and prince left Chang'an or the fief without permission, even if it was not a capital crime, he would have to shed a layer of skin.Seeing his youngest daughter mentioning his younger sister who is not so worry-free now, Li Zhi suddenly had a headache, and he said angrily: "You also said that it was your Xincheng aunt, how old was she at that time?" , how old are you, you want to run around!"

Princess Taiping said confidently: "But, sister Mingzhu is younger than me, so she can walk around with Uncle Fifteen and Auntie!"

Empress Wu smiled and said, "Then you followed us between Chang'an and Luoyang when you were young? It's the same for Mingzhu, she just followed her parents!"

Princess Taiping pouted all of a sudden, then looked at Li Yue eagerly: "Uncle Fifteen, why don't I go back with you later!"

Li Yue said with a smile: "You are the darling of the two saints, if something happens later, I can't afford it!"

Empress Wu persuaded: "You are still young now, when you get married in the future, you just go out with the son-in-law!"

At Princess Taiping's age, she doesn't have much idea of ​​a son-in-law, she said angrily, "You will perfunctory me, Queen Mother!"

Li Zhi straightened his face and said, "If you can't do it, you can't do it. Every girl wants to run wild all day long. What do you look like? I heard that you played tricks on Mr. Hongwenguan again a while ago?"

Princess Taiping didn't care about this either, she snorted again: "Who told him to look down on us girls, saying that women should be chaste and quiet, and saying that the "Book of Songs" also said about concubines? De, there is no meaning at all!" Empress Wu listened, her eyes flickered slightly, but her face remained calm.

Mingzhu said on the side: "I, Aye, also told me the "Book of Songs", saying that it is the story of the ancient ancestors exercising kingship and domineering!"

Li Yue was a little embarrassed at once. He just thought of the things he had done with Kou in the forum in his previous life when he watched it, and he casually talked to Mingzhu for fun, which is far from the current mainstream view.In the end, Li Zhi asked with great interest: "What domineering and domineering?"

Mingzhu said with a smile: "I, Aye, said that a long time ago, Zhuxia was such a place in the Central Plains, and then the people of the country, under the leadership of the monarch, continued to expand their territories, kill the barbarians, and let the savages naturalize. Zhu Xia, this is domineering and domineering." Ming Zhu actually didn't know what this meant, but it didn't prevent her from repeating what Li Yue said.

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, Empress Wu couldn't help smiling, but Li Hong was a little stunned, but recalling the many chapters in the "Book of Songs", there are really many war-related content in it, anyway, as long as Zhu Xia The wars launched were all just. Thinking about it this way, Li Hong felt that he couldn't look directly at the "Book of Songs"!

Li Yue said with a smile: "There are not enough scholars in Quanzhou, where can I find a suitable teacher for her, anyway, she is not very old, so don't worry about this matter, that is, A Yao and I will take care of you and wait until the time comes. Enlightenment is complete, and I will send it directly to the women's school! I didn't study hard at that time, and the "Book of Songs" was just read to her for fun, so I didn't tell her the meaning of the scriptures, just casually said a few words. !"

Empress Wu nodded and said, "That's good, girls, if you learn more, you won't suffer in the future!"

Li Hong smiled and said, "Ming Zhu is Uncle Fifteen's daughter, what can she suffer?"

Li Zhi also laughed: "Mingzhu is also at this age, so she can be canonized earlier. In the future, even if Mingzhu arrives in Chang'an and Luoyang, she can walk sideways, so I'm afraid she will suffer some disadvantages!"

Empress Wu just laughed. In this era, women are still weak. Even if they are noble, they will inevitably suffer some dumb losses. It is better to make yourself stronger than expecting to have a good man in the future.Of course, Empress Wu also believed that Mingzhu had Li Yue as her father, and no one could really make her suffer.

The family dinner was a bit anticlimactic, and at the end, everyone was just chatting. No one dared to bring up the sensitive topic before, so it was just like that.

Li Yue's family returned to the palace, and they were already sleepy during the winter solstice. They were fed another meal of milk by the nurse in a daze, rinsed their mouths with warm water reluctantly, and then fell asleep.It was the same for Mingzhu, she was overly excited before, but when she returned to the palace, the excitement passed, she immediately began to doze off, and she fell asleep after being served by the people around her after a brief grooming.

Children can be carefree, but for Li Yue and Yang Yao, they can't be so heartless.

Yang Yao removed some heavy hairpins from her head. In Quanzhou, she didn't have much time and energy to dress up because she had a lot of things to do, so she probably used a few jade hairpins to tie her hair up. To do experiments, you often have to wrap your hair up, but if you want to enter the palace, you can’t do this. If you want to comb it into a more popular updo, most people don’t have such thick hair, so you need to add a lot of it. wig, and then had to use a lot of hair accessories to fix it.Yang Yao has no shortage of jewelry. Li Yue once asked someone to design a lot of jewelry for Yang Yao based on some jewelry she has seen in later generations. This kind of thing is like this. Yang Yao can rarely wear it, but she can't do without it, like this kind of occasion , wearing a full set of head and face looks good, but it is really heavy, and the scalp hurts when it falls. Yang Yao was used to it easily before, but now it is really uncomfortable to wear it like this.Now that the hairpin wig was removed, the whole person felt relaxed, but the expression on her face was not relaxed. She sighed: "Now Datang is the real power of our family, which is too conspicuous. The two princes have grown up, so they are naturally envious!"

Li Yue said: "It's not like we're just pointing at Minyue to live. What's more, over the years, everyone has seen what we have done. Although the princes are from noble backgrounds, the achievements they can make are not worth mentioning." How many? What's more, the future is uncertain!"

Yang Yao nodded and said, "That's the only way to go. We are far away in Fujian and Yue, and after all, the news is not well-informed. If someone really makes trouble later, we won't even hear the news!"

"There are advantages and disadvantages. Among other things, we are not well informed about the capital, and the capital is not well informed about us!" Li Yue comforted, thinking in his heart, it is really impossible. He simply resigned from the position of King of Fujian and went directly to sea.

In the palace, Empress Wu was also discussing this matter with Li Zhi: "The children are all grown up and have their own minds!"

Li Zhi sighed: "Who says it's not? You think it's for their own good, but they don't think so. They all feel that their wings are hard and they want to fly!"

Empress Wu hesitated for a while, and then said: "The concubine said before, let the clan guard Tiannan, the saint thinks, is it okay for Xian'er?"

Li Zhi also hesitated: "Xian'er has been staying in Chang'an, and he doesn't know much about the outside world. Tiannan is not like Lingnan. Anyway, Jiumu Wanghua, Tiannan is full of hundreds of clans. It is not easy to take down the six imperial edicts, don't look at the fact that the Mengshe imperial edict is now facing the Tang Dynasty, if you really want to ask them to enclose them, they will definitely not be willing! What's more, there is Tubo on the side eyeing, wanting to take Tiannan, It's easier said than done! Even if we win, can Xian'er really gain a foothold in Tiannan?"

"No one is born to be able to do it. How about we arrange a place for Xian'er and let him practice for a few years first?" Empress Wu pondered for a while, then tried again.

Li Zhi smiled wryly: "A few years ago, if you said that, Wu, then I would not object, but now, looking at Hong'er's body, I am really worried that if I don't pay attention, I will be sent to the black by someone else. Send someone! Among the children, Xian'er is still a little more attractive. If Hong'er has any mistakes, Xian'er has to make up for it. If Xian'er is allowed to go out, if something happens later, then..."

Li Zhi has been preparing for this since Li Hong's health was obviously not good. If Li Hong's health is not good enough, the key point is that Li Zhi's own health is not good. According to Sun Simiao, Li Zhi's wind Illness, in addition to not being overworked and needing to be well maintained, it is also forbidden to be overjoyed and sad, and to be shocked and angry. Therefore, Li Zhi has actually been cultivating his morality in recent years. It would be better to promote those who are at odds with Empress Wu to become officials than to take away Empress Wu's authority. After all, Empress Wu is a queen, and even if she holds power, it represents imperial power. , that's different, Li Zhi doesn't want to go back to the time when he just ascended the throne, and if he wants to do something, he has to be restrained by his officials.

However, if Li Hong really can't make it through, it's best for someone to fill the vacancy immediately, otherwise, the balance Li Zhi maintains now will be affected, which also makes Li Zhi unwilling to let Li Xian leave the capital.

Seeing that Li Zhi had already talked about this, Empress Wu naturally had nothing to say.In the past two years, Empress Wu was just a little bit out of line, but Shangguanyi urged Li Zhi to abolish Empress, and even drafted the edict. The edict was sent to the three provinces, and the matter could never be undone.Therefore, Empress Wu did not dare to test Li Zhi any more in the past few years. She understood that even though Li Zhi retreated before, this does not mean that Li Zhi really cannot control her. Therefore, Empress Wu must respect Li Zhi's ideas, lest Li Zhi has the idea of ​​abolishing the queen again. Of course, Li Zhi may consider the position of several children, but like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to establish Liu Fuling but killed Mrs. Gouyi. Li Zhi could not do it of.

Empress Wu no longer expressed any opinions on this matter, but she was thinking in her heart that she should call Li Yue into the palace and let Li Yue come up with an idea.
