What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

"What did you say?" Li Zhi almost spit out the tea in his mouth when Li Xian carefully talked about what he had discussed with Li Yue.

Li Xian plucked up his courage and said: "My minister hopes to guard Tiannan. There is no need for the court to send a single soldier. My minister will borrow troops from Uncle Fifteen and pay back with Tiannan's population and special products!"

Li Zhi murmured in his heart, this stupid son of his family will not be sold by Li Yue!He then asked: "Then you can tell me about the specific agreement you reached with Shiwulang?"

Li Xian honestly told the things that he had discussed before, and Li Zhi also began to think about it. If this matter can be achieved, the imperial court is also willing to make this deal with Li Yue. Anyway, it is not Datang’s army that died, and there is no need for it. Datang spends money, and what he pays is nothing more than Tiannan's benefits for a period of time. This sounds like nothing but nothing, but no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right!

Li Zhi soon figured out, what's the use of land alone, without people, the land can only be abandoned. Yue took it away.And if Li Xian wanted to be the king of Tiannan, the imperial court would have to spend a huge price to help Li Xian immigrate, and he couldn't let Li Xian become a bare prince in the past, but what benefits could the imperial court get from it?

Li Zhi immediately said: "This matter has to be discussed with your mother, or should we go to your mother first?"

As a result, Empress Wu also quickly thought of the key point, and said angrily: "There will be a large number of casualties in the previous war, and the remaining people, according to Shiwulang's calculation, can't pay off their debts if they are all sold to him. When the time comes, there will be no one in Tiannan, what kind of prince are you going to do? You can’t let the imperial court transfer people there from other places, how much will it cost, have you figured it out?”

Li Xian said a little dissatisfied: "A few years ago, the imperial court also moved many people to Anton and Anxi?"

Empress Wu was amused: "Not to mention that many of the emigration to Andong and Anxi were done by the meritorious nobles of the aristocratic families. Although the imperial court played a guiding role, the imperial court also gained enough benefits from it. Not to mention, Where does the cotton cloth of Datang come from now? Most of it is woven from the cotton in Anxi, and the same is true in Anton. Although there is only one season a year, the black soil there is comparable to the loess here. It is much more fertile, so a lot of grain can be handed in every year, not to mention, there are also very rich other products, such as the ginseng we usually use, which is the best in Anton. The giant trees over there, so, even if the court spends money to immigrate to Andong and Anxi, everyone is happy! As for Yunnan, let alone not seeing any benefits now, even if there are benefits, it will belong to the king of Yunnan in the future and has something to do with the court. What's the matter, no minister will agree to this matter in the court!"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "That's exactly the case. Youdao says that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. The Tang Dynasty has only become a little more prosperous in these years. Now most of the financial resources and manpower are put on the development of Andong and Anxi. What's more, if Tiannan is really conquered, it is possible that Tubo can still watch us immigrate there, and if we fail to develop it, they will definitely come down and harass it. Such a calculation is a waste of national power!"

Li Xian suddenly became a little downcast. He originally thought that negotiating with Li Yue would be the most difficult thing, but now he realized that the most difficult thing to convince was his parents.

Seeing Li Xian's dejected look, Li Zhi and Empress Wu both heaved a sigh of relief. Although Li Hong has not had any problems now, who knows what will happen in the future?According to Sun Simiao, Li Hong's body is really like a precious jade, which cannot be touched at all, and must be taken care of afterward. Some are unreliable. Therefore, Li Zhi and Empress Wu are unwilling to continue to put any pressure on Li Hong. They only hope that Li Hong can live in peace and prosperity for a few more years. However, Li Zhi and Empress Wu both rejected the position of prince. Li Zhi really loves this son. As a prince and as an ordinary prince, they are different from birth to death.He didn't want this son, who had been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, to have anything unsatisfactory.As for Empress Wu, she just thinks that Li Hong is easy to talk to, but he can't really interfere in the government affairs, and his body can't support him. A person with too many ambitions is actually quite good to occupy the position of prince. Even, if Li Hong can be like this It would be great until the succession to the throne, the emperor is weak and difficult to govern, so it is only natural for her to continue to listen to the government behind the curtain or directly regent as the empress dowager.

Li Xian went back depressed, but Li Zhi and Empress Wu began to discuss.In fact, this matter is quite interesting. If it was not Li Xian who proposed this matter, but Li Xian or Li Dan, the two might have agreed to it. In addition, they felt that Li Yue wanted too much!

Suddenly Empress Wu's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Fifteen Lang is actually confident to take Tiannan, so, I'm afraid I already have a strong force in my hand!"

Li Zhi glanced at Empress Wu and said, "It's not necessarily true. I think that Shiwulang actually wanted Xian'er to retreat in spite of difficulties, so he asked such a high price! Moreover, he opened a mansion in Minyue. Jian Ya, the Yue people have a tough temperament. If you want to suppress those Yue people, naturally you can't, but with benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible without a trustworthy army! Minyue is also a big place, and these troops have to be dispersed Come on, I guess there is nothing famous!"

Empress Wu said angrily: "What does the sage say? Don't I care about Fifteen Lang? I just don't know how Fifteen Lang does it, or Fifteen Lang doesn't really understand military affairs. I will leave it to you." Someone else?"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Of course, Shiwulang doesn't need to understand everything, but someone can! Do you still remember Xue Yi from sister Chengyang's family? Wei had been there for two years. A few years ago, my elder sister entrusted Xue Yi to Shiwulang. She originally wanted Xue Yi to be a landlord official, but Xue Yi didn't have much interest in political affairs. Later, she practiced in Minyue. Rise up! However, Minyue has never heard of any war, so the army there does not know how powerful it is!"

Li Zhi is still very reassuring about Li Yue. On Li Yue's side, most of the army is Shanyue people. These people must have good combat effectiveness, but they are good at fighting in the mountains, and they have a strong hometown complex. They will not leave him in leisure. hometown.Or if there is chaos in the Tang Dynasty, they will follow Li Yue and stand on their own just like Zhao Tuo back then. However, it will be difficult to expect them to do more!However, with Li Yue's temperament, this kind of thing is impossible, so Li Zhi naturally wouldn't have such suspicions. Self-defeating.

Listening to Li Zhi's words, Empress Wu also felt that she was worrying unfoundedly, so she just smiled and said, "It's still a sage's bright candle. I really don't know many things!"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "You, there are too many things to do, and you want to cover everything, but there will be some omissions!"

Empress Wu took the opportunity to say: "The sage is right. I'm not too young now, and I feel a little lacking in energy. I really hope to have more helpers!"

Li Zhi glanced at Empress Wu, and said disapprovingly: "Ah Wu, haven't you already got a lot of female officials? What's the matter, it's not easy to use?" This is actually a bit weird, thinking that it should be his concubine, As a result, after being manipulated by Empress Wu, she became a female official who was grabbed by the harem. Li Zhi was inevitably a little aggrieved.

Empress Wu was not angry either. Ever since the incident with He Lan Minyue, Empress Wu understood that man, stealing is unstoppable. Back then Yang Jian was so afraid of his wife that he ran away from home, so he didn't delay his sleep. The woman who was born was nothing more than sleeping secretly at the beginning, and sleeping openly after the death of Queen Dugu.There's no need to be angry with Li Zhi over this kind of thing!Therefore, Empress Wu would rather choose those women with low background and little knowledge to send to Li Zhi. The other is to bribe the imperial doctor and let them tell Li Zhi that you are not young and you have wind disease yourself, so you are not young. If the color is on the head, you still have to restrain yourself.

Li Zhi still attaches great importance to his own life. Because of the wind disease, he has some problems with his eyesight now. Although he only sees things a little blurry, if things go on like this, he might really go blind. What's more, some other diseases also appear On him, for example, Li Zhi has some joint problems now, why he stays in Luoyang all the year round is also because of this, in Chang'an, even though he has moved into Daming Palace, when the weather is cold, fire dragons are burned in the palace there, I still feel pain in my joints, and the climate in Luoyang is warmer than that in Chang'an, so people can feel more comfortable.In addition, he is prone to dizziness. Although he has been looking for famous doctors everywhere, there has been no relief for his symptoms.This so-called wind disease is likely to be a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Cao Cao probably had this problem back then. As a result, this guy went to the doctor and killed Hua Tuo who had proposed a feasible treatment plan.With this lesson learned from the past, even if the doctors behind had some ideas, they would not dare to implement them on dignitaries.Ordinary people don't dare to say anything to doctors. It's good if they can be cured. If they can't be cured, life and death are life and death. But for those rich and noble families, the doctor has to think about it.Later on, the imperial physician even began to prescribe Taifang, that is, first to make your illness more serious, and then to prescribe the kind of medicine that takes effect slowly but will never have any side effects. You drink it slowly Bar!

Sun Simiao would not be like this, but he has no better way to deal with the wind disease. He gave Li Zhi acupuncture once before, but it was only a temporary relief, not a cure. Besides, it is impossible for Sun Simiao to stay in the palace exclusively. To treat Li Zhi alone, he is a true doctor with benevolence. In his opinion, it is a life. The emperor may not be more noble than ordinary people. Wind disease is a chronic disease. As long as it is well maintained, it will not There will be a big problem. If you are an imperial doctor for Li Zhi, you don’t know how many people’s lives will be delayed. Therefore, no matter how Li Zhi promises, except for some money, he will not accept the rest. .Moreover, he travels all over the world, and even the government finds it difficult to find his whereabouts. He was asked to see a doctor for Li Zhi and Li Hong before, because he was collecting medicine in Zhongnan Mountain at that time, and he was doing a free clinic nearby, so he happened to be discovered. , was invited to the palace.

Since this wind disease has many taboos, even if it is for the sake of his own life, Li Zhi has now begun to cultivate his body and mind, and he has not been interested in women's sex.Moreover, he is getting older, and with such an identity, his thoughts are different from before. In the past, he was still very patient to coax young girls, but now, he really doesn't have such a leisurely heart, and Although those little girls are good-looking, Li Zhi likes more mature ones, not only physically mature, but also mentally mature. The only thing he really has feelings for are young girls, that is, He Lan Minyue. So, like now, those young concubines arranged by Empress Wu would only meet Li Zhixin once or twice at most, and then they would be forgotten. No matter how stupid they are, they would understand that this What kind of person is a saint? If you hope to win favor with a saint, it is better to honestly please the queen!

Empress Wu is happy to see this happen. Although Li Zhi is at this age, it is unlikely that the old house will catch fire, and no matter how much he falls in love with someone, but this kind of thing is really inevitable. Instead of this, it is better for her to arrange it herself. It also prevents Li Zhi from encountering any inexplicable true love again, which will hinder his own affairs in the future.

Li Zhi suddenly thought of Li Yue: "Fifth Lang seems to have only one princess by his side these years, and there is no one else?"

Empress Wu said with a smile: "The young couple have always been very good. Fifteen Lang is a long-term lover, and Yang is also a sensible and intelligent person. It is a good story for the two of them to discuss things together!"

Li Zhi nodded, and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect this kid to be a lover, and I don't know how long he can last!" In Li Zhi's view, men like the new and hate the old, and now Yang's face It's still there, naturally the two of them are like honey, and when the Yang family is old and yellow, and then meets some fresh and delicate girl, Li Yue may not be able to control it!But at that time, Yang didn't have to worry too much. At that time, her pair of children had already grown up, and Li Yue didn't have the temperament of forgetting the old when she had a newcomer. The status and interests of their mother and child could still be guaranteed.

At this moment, Empress Wu deliberately said sourly: "I see that you must have persisted longer than you, a saint! Back then, you made all kinds of sweet words and promises to me, but what happened?"

Seeing Empress Wu's sour and jealous look, Li Zhi felt refreshed: "Then I will tell Ah Wu one more time, what do you think?"

The old couple was throwing dog food wildly in Ziwei Palace, but Li Xian was drinking at Li Hong's place.
