What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Li Yue couldn't help admiring the tossing of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, Feng Chan once wasn't enough, and wanted to come for a second time.It is said that Feng Chan was passed down from the ancient kings, and it existed in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but the real and clear record is from the first emperor, and there are many things that go wrong.So much so that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, a group of people used this as an excuse to say that the Qin Dynasty had no destiny, otherwise how could there be wind and rain when enshrining Zen?

Before the Tang Dynasty, Feng Chan was still a very serious matter. You didn't have enough merits, and you didn't have the face to say Feng Chan's words.But at the time of great counseling, Song Zhenzong dared to go to Fengchan, and he immediately defeated Fengchan's compulsion, and the subsequent emperors were not so enthusiastic about this matter. Therefore, later on , the royal family is the direct sacrifice, and no longer consider the matter of enshrining Zen.

In any case, with this great victory of destroying the country, Li Zhi wanted to enshrine Zen again, and the courtiers couldn't say anything. In fact, for local officials, it is certain that Fengchan will waste the people and money, but local officials Even the rich can take advantage of this to make a lot of money.Unexpectedly, Li Zhi said that Mount Tai is too far away. Among the five mountains, Mount Song is the middle mountain, located in the core area of ​​the Central Plains.Moreover, if the ancient kings think about it, it is impossible for them to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai. After all, at least in the Spring and Autumn Period, on Qilu's territory, Yidi was the one who wandered the most.In ancient times, Zhuxia was just a tribe on the banks of the Yellow River. Given the situation at that time, the former king had nothing to do and spent so much manpower and material resources to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.Unless the ancient times were really like the myths and legends, that is, the era when individuals and gods lived together, the ancient kings and those ancient sages were all similar to demigods.

Of course, Li Zhi will definitely not veto the Feng Chan of the ancient kings. Guan Zhong wrote in his book that Feng Chan was on Mount Tai. I will write about other mountains.Therefore, Li Zhi just said that the five mountains are all sacred mountains, Songshan and even Zhongyue, and the same is true for enshrining Zen in Songshan.

Li Zhi's authority today is no less than that of Li Shimin back then.The emperor's authority is accumulated by victories, whether it is military victories or other victories. Even though Li Zhi didn't come to the court a few years ago, when he sat in the court hall, he really did a good job. After the decision was made, the courtiers in the court could only admit it, even if they were slanderous in their hearts.

However, this Feng Chan is not something that can be done just by talking up and down. There is a whole set of procedures. When offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, old things should never be used.In addition, Mount Tai has experienced many times of enshrining Zen, and there is a Fengchan Terrace there, and Songshan, this is the first time, so, on Songshan, we must find someone who is optimistic about Fengshui, who is sure about anti-counterfeiting, and sorts out a place suitable for worship. Come on, building a Fengchan Terrace is not an easy task.In ancient times, everyone didn’t have to go up the mountain to enshrine Zen. Just pile up some soil at the foot of the mountain to build a high platform.But since Qin Shihuang, Feng Chan has been placed on the mountain. Among other things, how much manpower and material resources are needed just to start construction on the mountain?In particular, such a big event of Fengchan, among other things, Fengchan Terrace can't just be built by quarrying stones on the mountain, in case the geomantic omen of Songshan is broken, who can take the responsibility.Therefore, stone materials have to be transported up from the bottom of the mountain. In the absence of equipment such as cable cars, it is all transported up by manpower. If you are not careful, you will die!

In any case, the preparatory work before enshrining the Chan was vigorously carried out, and Li Yue also received an edict stating that, as a member of the clan, he also had to participate in this Conferred Chan Ceremony. After all, Li Yue can be regarded as a pioneer Congratulations, this is a qualified prince in the Zong Zhou era, so Li Yue is naturally qualified to participate in the ceremony of enshrining Zen.

The problem is, Li Zhi and Empress Wu felt that they had given Li Yue a lot of face, but Li Yue didn't want to get involved in this matter at all!Just like the migrant workers of later generations are afraid of group building, Li Yue is also like this. Is it not good to eat longan and lychee while staying in Fujian and Yue?Who wants to climb a mountain under the sun!Li Yue's physical fitness is not bad in this life, mainly because there are not so many recreational activities these days. The work he does most now is actually drawing blueprints or simply describing the general structure for the craftsmen below to study. In fact, he has a lot of time, and he doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't have the interest to linger in brothels. The quality is not bad, but it doesn't mean that he likes to climb mountains!The most indispensable thing here in Minyue is the mountains. Li Yue has also climbed a lot. Moreover, climbing mountains is usually a tour. You can walk around slowly and stop at any time to look at the surrounding scenery. I feel tired and don’t want to continue. After climbing up, you can stop at any time, but if you go to the Fengchan Grand Ceremony, you can have a little bit of leisurely sightseeing along the way, then your body will not be tired, but your heart will be tired!

Besides, for Li Yue, who is used to all kinds of big scenes in later generations, such things as Feng Chan are not worth seeing. In later generations, some folk sacrificial activities will be held in places. Yes, as long as the Guinness record is applied for per head, the florist will never be afraid of others, let alone national-level celebrations and military parades.Compared with those scenes, the current scene is actually a little bit worse, and Li Yue can't arouse much interest at all.

But it’s like on weekends, you just want to lie at home, brush your phone, sleep late, and order takeaway when you’re hungry, but the silly X leader likes to use weekends to organize some team building activities, let you go climbing, let you shout some Slogans of shame, and doing all kinds of games that sound inspirational but are actually embarrassing.Li Yue has this kind of mentality now, she has her own things to do, no matter how bad it is, playing with the children at home is better than going to Songshan to join in the fun.

It's a pity that Li Yue has no reason to refuse after all the edicts have been sent. I can't say that I have a premonition that I will get sick at that time, so please ask for sick leave first!

Seeing Li Yue's dispirited look, Yang Yao couldn't help but understand: "It's rare to encounter the event of enshrining Chan in so many years. If it wasn't for the destruction of Tubo this time, the sage wouldn't have enshrined Zen again. The last time he enshrined Chan, Fifteen Lang Didn’t catch up, this time the sage specifically named your name, why are you not interested at all?”

Li Yue spread his hands and said, "Feng Chan doesn't have much meaning except for its political significance! Why should I be interested in it?" What Li Yue didn't say was that this kind of thing itself is a kind of Political show, if Li Yue does it himself, at least a batch of jobs can be created through this form, and domestic demand can be promoted. Li Yue's nature is nothing more than to transfer the labor to the common people, and maybe take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money. It's no wonder Li Yue has any good feelings for this!

"Ayao, are you very interested in this matter? Or, when the time comes, let's go there together?" Li Yue laughed.

Yang Yao was very moved, but in the end she shook her head sensibly, and said: "Back then, Empress Dowager Tianhou wanted to go to Zen with the Holy Emperor, and there were not many people in the court who were gossiping. I think it will be the same this time, except Empress Empress Dowager and There will be no female officials who serve her on the Fengchan platform. Since they have passed, they can only wait at the foot of the mountain, so why should I go there! Shiwulang, you can take your child to see the world. Alas, when we go overseas, I'm afraid we won't be able to see such a big scene in the future!"

Li Yue curled her lips and said, "Is there anything you can't see? It only takes a day or two to travel between Ryukyu and Quanzhou by boat, and it's only a few days' journey from Mingzhou to Quanzhou. If you want to become king overseas, you are also a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to see the situation in the Central Plains later, you just come to pay tribute, so what’s the trouble! I’m afraid that in a few decades, our descendants will go to Chang’an and Luoyang. I don't think so!"

Yang Yao was shocked when she heard this, and said quickly: "You can't talk nonsense, where Chang'an and Luoyang are, they are comparable to any place!"

Seeing Yang Yao like this, Li Yue didn't mean to argue with her. The reason why Chang'an and Luoyang prospered was not because of how magnificent they were built back then, but because of their popularity. Today's Chang'an and Luoyang are almost the same as those in the world. It is a leading super metropolis, and the population it accommodates is more than the population of those small countries, so there is such a grand occasion.However, as long as our economy develops fast enough, the population reproduces enough, and with more and more advanced production technology, it is not difficult for us to build another super city in Nanyang. Moreover, because the problem of population growth has long been considered , the planning will be more reasonable at that time, maybe in terms of comfort, it will be better than Chang'an and Luoyang!

But this kind of thing, in this era, is actually a bit presumptuous. Yang Yao was also worried about this before.Li Yue also reacted at this moment, just smiled, then changed the subject, and said: "However, it is also necessary to take Xi'er to see the world. According to the rules, our family business will be mainly inherited by him in the future." , Therefore, the people who should be known must also be recognized!"

Yang Yao chuckled lightly: "I don't know if he is willing to go or not. He is holding his breath now and wants to make a career. If he goes to Luoyang, he will have to delay for a month or two. He just wants to go. I'm afraid I may not be happy!"

Li Yue also didn't mean to force it. At Li Xi's age, in future generations, he would be a student who just entered middle school, but in this era, almost everyone should be engaged, and he can be regarded as an adult. Therefore, these things should naturally be considered. His opinion: "Then go ask him, if he is willing to go there together, if he thinks that the current mess can't be done without him, then just stay!"

Yang Yao nodded and said: "He is now competing with Mingzhu. He has never really fought a war, and he doesn't have many people in his hands. He feels that he has lost to Mingzhu in this, so he wants to win back in the internal affairs. Children, don't look at the normal time when you play well and are affectionate, but in this matter, everyone is very good!"

However, Li Yue is very satisfied. In such an era full of opportunities and vitality, it is sad for them to lie flat in the Buddhist family with their identities. They should have fighting spirit and competition: "This is a good thing. They are not How can they be like before, not caring about anything? If they are really the kind of dandies who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, Ayao, you have to worry again!"

Yang Yao couldn't help laughing at Li Yue's words. The world is so big, and this kind of competition won't cause conflicts of interest among the children. If so, why restrain them and prevent them from developing ambitions?If you are ambitious, look outside, don't stare at your own one-third of an acre of land, there are many unowned land overseas, just go and conquer it.Thinking in this way, Yang Yao also developed a lot of pride, and looked at Li Yue with eyes full of admiration and admiration.If my husband hadn't taken this step first, how could my children have such a free and wanton future?

Li Yue sent news to Li Xi and even Mingzhu, asking them what they thought, and it turned out that the two siblings agreed on this matter. Feng Chan is indeed a big event, but how much does it have to do with them? To join in the fun, why don't we start with infrastructure construction, dig more canals, reclaim some land, research new planting techniques, and even introduce new cash crops, so that the people below will live better and the population will grow faster!

Li Yue couldn't help laughing when she received the reply from the two of them, so she didn't say any more, and directly took people north to Luoyang, preparing to attend the Fengchan Grand Ceremony.

It's just that Li Yue never expected that this Conferring Chan Ceremony would not be successfully held at all, and even the construction of the Conferred Chan Terrace had just started and was stopped.

Li Yue had vaguely heard the news in Jiaozhou that Li Zhi fainted once when he was leaving the court, and the imperial doctor spent a lot of effort to revive him, but the imperial doctor also said bluntly, Li Zhi's situation is only suitable for recuperation, and he can't be too tired, let alone do heavy physical things.

Obviously, Feng Chan is actually a heavy physical task. Although climbing a mountain can be carried up directly in a chariot, it is by no means an easy task to wear a full suit of dress and go through the whole process. .The emperor's dress and ordinary clothes are completely different concepts. For ordinary clothes, you don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette, but the dress is different. The emperor's dress is called Dagon clothes, which together with the crown are called Dagon crowns. Dagon clothes have upper garments and lower garments. , decorated with dragon, sun, moon, stars, mountains, Chinese insects, Zongyi, Zao, fire, rice flour, Fu, Fu twelve chapter patterns, and other accessories such as knee covers, leather belts, large belts, and ribbons.Most of the shoe decorations are embroidered with gold thread, even if the gold thread is very thin, but this thing is heavy metal after all, so under normal circumstances, a set of clothes weighs ten or twenty catties, plus twelve You have to maintain a certain demeanor if you want to wear the crown of Yu Yu. If you are not in good health, you will definitely not be able to hold it.

Although Li Zhi is also a little overjoyed, but he can't pretend to be like this at the cost of his own life. If this pretending is not good, it will become a joke!

In fact, Li Zhi's illness has also caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the government and the public. The matter of enshrining Zen has a certain superstitious color.It’s like when Qin Shihuang enshrined the first emperor and encountered heavy rain on the way. Later, those Confucian scholars said that the Great Qin had no destiny.Li Zhi had consecrated Zen once before, it was at Mount Tai, but this time he was going to consecrate Zen again, and it was changed to Songshan. It is inevitable that people feel that there is a problem here, or Li Zhi’s own merits are not enough, and God does not want him to confer Zen for the second time. Either Songshan was in conflict with Li Zhi.

Of course, Li Zhi himself certainly refused to admit it, or in other words, Li Zhi didn't really believe in the so-called fate.When Empress Wu comforted Li Zhi, Li Zhi waved his hand directly and said: "I have been in poor health for these years, and I just took good care of it before. I spent a lot of effort before, and I have the good news of Tubo's victory. I just thought I was getting better, but in fact, my body, now I also understand that it is no longer the time when I was young, and I really can't support such a thing!" Speaking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help sighing , which emperor does not hope that he can live a long life?Even the second Emperor Huiqin was humiliated to that extent, and he still believes that it is better to live than to die!This is especially true for those emperors who hold great power. Only with a long enough lifespan can they always hold on to their own power and stay high.

It's a pity that Li Zhi's health is not good for a day or two. If he didn't remember that Li Shimin took the elixir back then, so that he got sores on his back and was in great pain, Li Zhi really wanted to turn to the Taoist elixir for help. In recent years, besides Sun Simiao, he has also seen a lot of folk doctors, but, as Sun Simiao said, his disease can only be maintained, and it cannot be cured at all with current medical skills.Therefore, Li Zhi is relatively calm about death now. After all, he has already made corresponding preparations, but Li Zhi still has some regrets when the matter comes to an end.

The main reason is that he regrets that his sons are all incompetent, and that he put most of his energy on cultivating Li Hong back then. In order to prevent all kinds of troubles caused by several princes seizing the throne during the Zhenguan period, Li Zhi praised Li Hong very highly.But who would have imagined that Li Hong was fine when he was a child, but when he became an adult, his body would not work?This is simply cheating!Li Xian thought it was okay at the beginning, but after he really came up, he found out that he was immature, he took it for granted, and Li Zhi didn't have enough time to wait for Li Xian to grow up.Now Li Xian has been rushed to Tubo, Li Zhi even thought that even if he died, he should not let Li Xian come back for the funeral, lest Li Xian be used by others and cause trouble.

But looking at the remaining two sons, even when Li Zhi was the prince himself, he was known for being benevolent and cowardly. As a result, when it was the turn of the two sons to compete with each other, Li Zhi felt blocked again. In one breath, don't mention how uncomfortable it is!People who are emperors are like this. The son is too capable, and he is afraid that the son will take his position. The son is a little incompetent, and he feels that the son is not like himself, which makes people angry.

It's just that now, Li Zhi has no other choice. He began to summon the courtiers in an orderly manner, judge their positions, and show both kindness and power, hoping that after his death, these courtiers can help the new emperor stabilize the court.Of course, no matter which son ascends the throne, Empress Wu will definitely be regent, regardless of how much older Empress Wu is than Li Zhi, but Empress Wu looks much younger than Li Zhi now, and Li Zhi is very suspicious. Longing, when will my son be able to truly govern himself.However, there is a saying that after I die, I don't care about the flood.Although Li Zhi is not so irresponsible, he feels that he has already done what he can do. If his son does not live up to his expectations, he will not be able to die as an Aye and he will have to worry about them. Therefore, Li Zhi will no longer It's too long-winded, and then he directly decided on the candidate to succeed the throne in the future, that is, Li Xian.

Li Zhi didn't do any tricks to canonize the crown prince first. Canonizing the crown prince is not a simple matter. His current body really can't bear such a toss. Therefore, I left the will first, and then confirmed it with a few important ministers later, it would be neat and easy.

Empress Wu did not object to this. Now that these two sons are by her side, who should she choose?Li Xian took advantage of his seniority again, so he was more likely to ascend the throne.From Empress Wu's point of view, choosing Li Xian is actually better than choosing Li Dan. Li Xian is a very soft-hearted person. He has a very good relationship with Princess Webster. It can't even be said that the relationship is good. He is a standard wife Guan Yan, Webster's character is strong, Li Xian has always obeyed Webster's orders, but Webster, in Empress Wu's view, this empty ambition, in fact, does not have the corresponding skills.As for Li Dan, because of the lack of strength in his wife's family, both the Liu family and the Dou family are cautious. It is difficult for such a person to catch them, which is not a good thing for Empress Wu.If you want to take what you want, you must give it first, that is, Webster's superficial temperament is more in line with the interests of Empress Wu.Therefore, Empress Wu not only did not object, but gave a push, and directly ordered Li Xian to prepare a dress and other things needed for enthronement according to Li Xian's body shape. Accompany and serve beside Li Zhi.

When Li Yue arrived in Luoyang, although Li Zhi hadn't entered the dying state, he was recuperating in bed these days, spending half of the day in coma.

These days, Li Zhi has been ordering people to wait for Li Yue's arrival at the gate of the city. When Li Yue's carriage appeared at the gate of the city, someone greeted him immediately: "His Royal Highness, by the Holy Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, Your Highness will immediately enter the palace to see you!"
