What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

After Empress Wu's edict was delivered, Taiping was really relieved.

But for Princess Xincheng, the situation is not good, because the clans that raised troops before have failed one after another, and the only thing waiting for them is death, and their family members will be implicated.

On the other side of the plateau, Li Xian also had people running over to persuade him to raise troops that day. However, after so many years, anyone who still has a little sense will know what the result of raising troops will be!In particular, why did Li Xian rebel? Pei Xingjian was already old, and the plateau was not a good place to retire. After helping Li Xian here for a few years, Pei Xingjian couldn't hold on anymore.And it is true that Tubo left a garrison to help Li Xian stabilize the situation, but these people are actually a deterrent. Believe it or not, Li Xian shouted for rebellion. down?What's more, the nobles in Tubo were not vegetarians. In recent years, Li Xian has focused on releasing those serfs and granting land to them, which naturally offended many nobles. Some nobles took refuge in Li Xian and began to participate in Li Xian's various activities Among the industries, the main ones are agricultural planting near geothermal areas, and the development of characteristic aquaculture on the plateau.For example, today, the wool spinning industry on the plateau is quite developed, and the dairy products and meat products here are also selling well.Therefore, those relatively enlightened aristocrats have now successfully transformed and recognized Li Xian's rule, but those other people are not reconciled to this. What they want is not only money, but also the power to do whatever they want in Tubo.As a result, the arrival of Li Xian made them lose such power, so it's no wonder they are willing to obey!Even if they dare not confront Li Xian directly because of the garrison, it is normal to make trouble secretly.As a result, Li Xian naturally did not have much time and energy to deal with the changes in the Central Plains.

Li Xian felt that he had no chance of winning by raising an army, and would instead affect his foundation on the plateau. Therefore, not only did he not listen to those people's advice, but he directly chopped off the man and gave his head to Empress Wu.Empress Wu can naturally understand this son's thoughts, which means that she will be her own king of Tibet honestly, but correspondingly, don't look for yourself in the future after these bullshit things.

Empress Wu didn't want to make trouble with Li Xian because of this matter. Li Xian was willing to maintain the current situation, which was also a good thing for Empress Wu. After all, she didn't need to spend too much energy on the plateau to avoid turning back to the Tibetan army Swarming directly from the plateau, now, the imperial court can't afford to fight Tubo.

Therefore, it can be said that for the time being, none of the Li family's clan would really resist Empress Wu. Even if some people harbored resentment in their hearts, they would not show it at all for the sake of their own wealth and life. They could only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

Princess Xincheng was very disappointed by this, but she was helpless. If she jumped out to call on the clan to fight against Empress Wu, the other party might react violently after the contest. All the wealth has been invested, and the combined strength of the remaining ones is not as good as them. If you really dare to take the lead, it is even different. The court needs to mobilize troops. I am afraid that the local county soldiers can put out their rebellion, knowing that they can't do anything. For this reason, this is not something that their pampered clans can do.Even Princess Xincheng herself doesn't have much hope for this. Now she can only hope that Empress Wu will not have much lifespan.

Compared with Taiping, who is very satisfied with his comfortable life today, Xue Shao has a lot of resentment.Xue Shao is actually similar to Taiping. As the youngest son of the family, he was also spoiled by his parents since he was a child. Although he did not develop a pampered and willful dandy temperament because of this, he did not suffer any hardships or suffer any crimes. He died, but his two elder brothers still loved him very much. He delayed his marriage because of his parents' filial piety, but instead gave him the opportunity to marry Princess Taiping as his wife.Based on Li Zhi's love for Princess Taiping and his affection for Princess Chengyang, Xue Shao's marriage was finalized, and rewards came one after another. He easily gained a good official position from scratch. , he really has been going smoothly, and he hasn't suffered any setbacks.

Unexpectedly, in order to prevent the elder brother from getting too close to Li Zhen and his son, the mother sent the elder brother to Minyue. However, because of the funeral of his parents, the elder brother returned from Fujian and got involved with the father and son again.Of course, even if there is no such relationship, the Xue family is actually on the side of the Li family. If Empress Wu really ascends the throne, what weight will he have after the former princess?Therefore, it was almost logical that Xue Wei responded to those clans who raised troops and rebelled accordingly.

It's a pity that although Xue Yi led soldiers in Minyue for a period of time, he had never actually fought in actual combat, and when he arrived in a new place, he didn't know his subordinates well, and he couldn't understand the minds of the middle and lower classes at all.In the eyes of the people below, confronting the imperial court is simply looking for death. They didn't have too much affection for Xue Yi at first, but Xue Yi led them to rebel, which directly threatened their lives. Therefore, Xue Yi actually He died because of the betrayal of his subordinates.But Xue Wei's move also pushed Xue's family to the forefront. Even Princess Taiping on Xue Shao's side tried his best to plead for mercy, but was implicated and imprisoned.If you want to talk about resentment, there must be some, but if you really want to talk about it, in the past dynasties, anyone who has something to do with conspiracy, no matter who it is, will not have any good fruit to eat.

However, it is one thing to understand, but another to accept it. He almost died because of it. Naturally, he felt that what Li Yue said made sense. He didn't have the corresponding strength in his hands. In this era, let alone It's something else, that is, if you can't keep your wealth and life, if you can't keep your life, then the other ones are just rootless duckweed, which is out of the question.Therefore, Xue Shao now really wants to make a career, among other things, he has to save his own life.

Taiping was not a very enterprising person in the first place, the rhetoric he said to Empress Li Zhiwu was nothing more than a child's catchphrase, and after getting married, he put these things behind him and forgot them completely.But what happened before has stimulated her, not to mention, she is also a princess, what is Mingzhu like, and what is she like?It's just that Taiping is not a feminist, so after realizing that her husband had such thoughts, she felt that she needed to help her husband grasp the corresponding power.

However, they are still dependent on others now, she can't ask Li Yue to borrow soldiers!Xue Shao was also able to bend and stretch. After his body was almost raised, Xue Shao approached Li Yue and asked for an errand.His previous impressions of Minyue all came from his elder brother. Back then, his elder brother described Minyue well, but Xue Shao never believed it. After all, Minyue is such a poor place. Can earth-shaking changes happen?

But after he saw it himself, Xue Shao realized the many differences between Minyue and the Central Plains. Xue Shao was inevitably very curious about it, so he hoped to truly understand the root cause of such changes in Minyue.

Li Yue is not stingy about this, maybe Taiping can really be the queen in the future, and Xue Shao will be the concubine of the emperor, so it is not a bad thing for Xue Shao to know more about methods and scientific and technological knowledge.

"Uncle Fifteen, can I become a person like Mingzhu?" Princess Taiping went to Yinyue Island before to see the situation of Yinyue Island. After returning, she has been a little distracted. On this day, she finally found Li Yue came here, and asked hesitantly.

"What kind of person you want to be, naturally depends on yourself!" Li Yue is not a professional chicken soup master, he can't tell Taiping directly, you have to learn from your own mother. Otherwise, you will die your husband, your children, your best friend, and in the end you will die too!Therefore, he could only play Tai Chi with Princess Taiping vaguely.

Princess Taiping didn't realize that Li Yue was actually trying to put her off. She sat there sadly, fiddled with the ornaments on the table, and then sighed again, saying: "When I was young, I thought that Mingzhu was just talking and joking like me, what kind of female soldiers, what kind of guards, it was all a little girl's joke, who knew that I was the only one who treated it as a child's farce, but Mingzhu was I really did it!" She thought about Yinyue Island, although there are no high-level official positions, more than half of the low-level official positions are held by the retired female soldiers around Mingzhu, and those women also have a detached status in the local area. And the more majestic one is naturally Mingzhu, who said nothing on Yinyue Island. After so many years, Mingzhu doesn't look like a girl at all, but a decisive man.This confuses Taiping, can girls also lead such a life?In fact, even though her mother is already a high-ranking and powerful person now, she is almost confident, but she relied on Li Zhi to get what she is today, and Mingzhu seems to have no dependence on any man, even because she is away all the year round. Showing her face in public, exposed to the wind and the sun, Mingzhu's skin is not as peaceful, delicate and smooth, even with excellent maintenance methods, Mingzhu actually doesn't have that much time to take care of it, so her complexion is slightly dark, not so Delicate and smooth, but she has an aura that makes people feel heartbroken at the first glance, which also makes Taiping feel very yearning and a little inferior.

That's right, Taiping, who has been a girl of heaven since she was a child, actually felt inferior after seeing Mingzhu's demeanor, which also made her begin to doubt her previous choices.It's not that he doubts that he married Xue Shao back then, but that he is annoyed why he didn't persevere like a pearl back then.When she got married back then, the maids she trained before were also her dowry, but now these people have either become ordinary servants in the palace, or they have married with a dowry from her. It's like a clown's lie, but now that I think about it, it's a joke.On the contrary, Mingzhu, although she is not too young, has never intended to get married. Li Yue and his wife also pampered her, so Mingzhu really lived out her own life.In Mingzhu's words: "Is it the fate of a girl to marry and have children when she reaches her age, and then revolve around her husband and children? That's too sad! Aye gave me better educational conditions than ordinary men, isn't it? In order for me to marry someone else to be a noble lady! I will be trapped in the inner house all my life, and at most I will go to some banquets between women. It is a luxury to go out for a visit once in a while. What is the point of that! With my identity and ability , even if I fancy some man, I can only let him sacrifice for me, there is no reason for me to sacrifice for him!"

Taiping was rendered speechless by Mingzhu's words. Although she felt that Mingzhu was a bit deviant, if she really thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.She was born as a princess. After marriage, being gentle and virtuous is not the duty of a princess. Arrogance and domineering are what most people label a princess.The royal family has never asked the daughters of the family to be virtuous and virtuous. The marriage of a princess is called surrender. The son-in-law does not marry the princess, but the princess. One or two, isn't it a matter of course?Thinking about it this way, Princess Taiping will be brainwashed!

In fact, Mingzhu is just changing the concept secretly. These days, when the princess comes down, the target is not an ordinary person. Those down-and-out people Shang Princess is naturally for the glory brought by the princess. In fact, in this era, except for a small number of people, the real People with a strong foundation and strength don't care about Princess Shang, and even for them, the princess is actually a trouble.And for those who were originally relatives of the Li family, hehe, whose family has never passed the Lord, the princess is actually not that valuable to them.Just like Xue Shao, his mother is also a princess, so what if there is another princess?As for Mingzhu, she is doomed not to have any dealings with these people. The people she chooses seem to have a wide range of people, but in fact they don't have high status. If she dies, they are the children of the clan leaders. Maybe before Li Yue came, These tribal leaders still have a certain influence, but now, everyone doesn't take them so seriously!After all, they used to point to the leader to eat, but now, they can work hard and get rich, so who cares about it!Under such circumstances, no matter who Mingzhu has a crush on, the other party will be soft. Therefore, Mingzhu can naturally maintain a consistent strong position and ask them to sacrifice for herself.

Li Yue pondered for a moment, and said: "I still say that, your choice is actually up to you! It's okay for a woman to be a good wife and mother, and it's okay for a woman to be self-reliant. In my opinion, the so-called freedom is actually It is to give you the right to make choices! You chose to be Xue’s wife before, and you have always done well. Now if you want to make another choice, as long as you don’t regret it, then just keep doing it! Of course , your identity actually gives you the right to regret it, you just need to go on according to your own ideas!"

What Li Yue said was actually nonsense, but it undoubtedly moved Princess Taiping, she nodded, feeling that she had been educated.

As soon as Taiping left, Princess Xincheng turned around from behind the screen. She sat down where Taiping had sat before, and her expression became melancholy: "Do you have the right to choose? I don't seem to have this all the time!"

Having said this, Princess Xincheng's expression became a little gloomy.When she was the Princess of Hengshan, Wei Zheng was critically ill, Li Shimin took her to Wei Zheng's mansion without saying a word, and pointed her to Wei Shuyu as his wife.At that time, she was still a little ignorant little girl.

However, not long after Wei Zheng's death, Hou Junji's rebellion was involved. In fact, Wei Zheng had only recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun, but Li Shimin insisted that Wei Zheng was with them. Push down Wei Zheng's tombstone, and veto her marriage with Wei Shuyu.In fact, Wei Shuyu is still alive now, his wife Fang has passed away a few years ago, Li Zhi once tried to test her thoughts on Wei Shuyu, but Princess Xincheng didn't have any so-called affair with Wei Shuyu back then, naturally it is impossible to reach this age, He also did something to slap his father in the face.

After that, it was Li Shimin who arranged a marriage for her, that is, Changsun Quan. This marriage was full of twists and turns. To force and leave.And all of this, the opinions of Princess Xincheng were not considered.

Thinking of this, Princess Xincheng became more and more depressed. She is a princess, and her refusal to remarry for so many years is probably the only thing she can do for herself!In fact, even if she remarries, it is impossible for her to decide on her own. After all, not everyone is worthy of a princess!

Li Yue is also helpless about this, in fact, these days, who can really have the power to choose, the reason why Li Yue wants to go overseas is naturally not because of his self-motivated, but also because he wants to say "no" O power!He has been a vassal king in the Tang Dynasty, and he can't say no to the emperor's request, but after going to sea, no one can really restrain him!

Princess Xincheng pulled herself together, looked at Li Yue with some doubts, and asked, "Do you think Taiping will stick to his choice?"

Li Yue poured a cup of tea for Princess Xincheng, poured a cup for herself, took a sip, and said, "Maybe, it depends on her determination!"

Princess Xincheng really wanted to roll her eyes, but she also understood that Li Yue is not a god who can pinch and count, so she couldn't guess Taiping's choice, so she also took a sip of water, then sighed, and looked out the window .

Yang Yao is not interested in the thoughts of the two princesses, she is very satisfied with her life.Most of the time, she is still a relatively traditional woman. After realizing that the initiative of her daughter's marriage has now fallen into her own hands, the only thing she can think about is her son.

Li Xi has also reached the age of engagement now, logically speaking, at this age, he should be young and admire Ai, but unfortunately, he has no sign of this at all, which makes Yang Yao a little troubled.Look at Taiping who is the same generation as Mingzhu, the eldest son and eldest daughter are about the same age as the youngest son Li Xuan, but at home, the daughter wants to conquer the sea all day long, and the son is also obsessed with comparing himself with his daughter, but is it true that they are all better than each other? Who has been single for a long time?It’s fine for other people’s families to marry late and have children later. Their family really has a throne to inherit. Only by getting married early and giving birth to a son can Li Xi give the immigrants enough confidence. After all, at present, the economy of the immigrants has not yet To achieve internal circulation, we still have to rely on the markets of Minyue and even the Central Plains. In addition, many key advanced technologies are still in the hands of the Minwangfu. Ryukyu’s current prosperity also depends on the macroeconomic regulation of the Minwangfu. However, if there is no strong government, and the immigrant people are tough, it is easy to go wrong!

Li Yue always felt that Li Xi was still a teenager, but for Yang Yao, at least Li Xi had to settle the marriage first, so as to calm her mind.

Back in the inner courtyard, listening to Yang Yao's complaints, Li Yue was also helpless, and then said: "I don't know anyone who has girls of the right age, otherwise, you can help pick out a batch first, and call Li Xi back later." look at each other?"

Yang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Li Yue said. No matter what, Li Yue would never say that her son is still young, let's talk about the marriage, but when it comes to girls of the right age, Yang Yao also Some headaches.Marriage has never been a simple affair between a man and a woman, but a union of two families or even two forces.In Minyue and Ryukyu, there is no stronger power than the Min Palace. However, correspondingly, in Yang Yao's heart, the girls from other families that Yang Yao knew still lacked some family background and could not bring Li Xi What help? Suddenly, she began to worry again.After much deliberation, Yang Yao rejected most of the local girls. From the looks of it, she still had to look for them in places like Guanzhong and even Chang'an. Every family would not mind if their girls went to Ryukyu to be the future princesses, right?

It's just that Yang Yao hasn't been back to Chang'an and Luoyang for many years. Li Yue stayed for a long time last time, but with Li Yue's temperament, she would never mention this kind of thing to others, so Yang Yao finally had to find Princess Xincheng, after all, Princess Xincheng probably knows a lot of people, which is better than Yang Yao's black eyes.

When Princess Xincheng heard Yang Yao's request, her heart moved slightly.Now that the Li family's clan and those relatives have suffered serious blows, many of them have been involved. They probably don't mind being in-laws with Li Yue. Even Princess Xincheng thinks that if Li Yue is willing to accept it, I'm afraid they won't Less frightened people can drag their families and flee to Fujian to follow the immigrants to overseas.After all, even if it is hard to leave the homeland, one must still have one's life, and if one loses one's life, one has nothing left!

Thinking about it this way, Princess Xincheng immediately had an idea. She looked at Yang Yao with a smile and said, "Don't worry, brother and sister. I'll send a letter to those people and ask about the situation, is that okay?"

When Yang Yao heard it, it seemed as if she had grasped at a straw, she immediately nodded her head and agreed.
