People's psychology is actually very strange, excluding Li Yue, Empress Wu had already given birth to three sons, but because these three sons were all by her side, Empress Wu inevitably felt a little indebted to Li Yue who was away all the year round.In fact, at present, among the several sons of Empress Wu, except for Li Hong who is very likely to become emperor in the future, it is impossible for the other sons to win the position of a prince who can start a family and establish a tooth like Li Yue.Therefore, Empress Wu found an excuse to meet Li Yue.

The palace banquet was very rich, and Empress Wu also brought Li Hong, Li Xian, and Li Xian over. Now Li Hong has initially possessed the demeanor and style of a prince. This is really a child of another family. It's still relatively small, but it already feels like spring breeze.Both Li Zhi and Empress Wu are very satisfied with this son.As for Li Xian, his temper is a bit naughty, and Li Xian is still young, a typical brat.

Even if Li Yue doesn't remember the history, he still knows that these few people probably won't end well. After all, Li Longji doesn't seem to be the son of any of these three people. It seems to be Li Xian.However, probably even Empress Wu didn't really have any intention of being in power alone.According to Li Yue's speculation about the current court, Empress Wu really had such thoughts, probably when Li Zhi could hardly manage the government, and all government affairs were handed over to Empress Wu.After having tasted the thought of monopolizing power and keeping promises, it is naturally impossible for Empress Wu to let power fall into the hands of other people, even her own flesh and blood.

Except for Li Hong, even Li Xian has only a vague impression of Li Yue, let alone Li Xian who was a baby back then. Li Yue drove, so these few people were very curious about Li Yue, and they kept asking around at the banquet.

Li Yue was not angry, and was always patient with them. When they asked about Lingnan, Li Yue told them everything, and even exaggerated.After all, they are brothers from the same mother, and Li Yue actually hopes for their well-being. Instead of being played to death by Empress Wu in Chang'an, it is better to find a remote place to be the master of the house!Therefore, Li Yue didn't talk about the bad climate in Lingnan, how many typhoons a year, all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, and the miasma everywhere. He only talked about the scenery there and the rich specialties.

"I heard that there is a kind of tea tree on the Wuyi Mountain, which grows on the rocks. According to the legend of the Yue people, it is said that those were planted by the immortals who lived on Wuyi Mountain!" Dahongpao, who had become a representative of identity, now described it vividly to them, "I was looking for someone to go to Wuyi Mountain to look for, and after I concocted it, I sent it to Chang'an, and your highnesses can also see what's new. !"

Datang still ate fried tea, which was made into tea cakes or bricks, and fried with green onion, ginger and salt. However, not many people liked it. It was not until the appearance of Lu Yu that tea consumption was elevated to a certain level. Well, nowadays, whether it's the folk or the upper class, everyone likes all kinds of drinks, or in their eyes, tea is actually a kind of drink.

Therefore, people are not very interested in tea, but are very interested in immortals: "There are immortals in Wuyi Mountain?"

Li Yue really wanted to roll her eyes. Immortals and others are usually learned by future generations, okay?However, Wuyi Mountain still has serious official sacrifices today. It was still when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped Wuyi Lord in Wuyi Mountain. Later, during the Jin Dynasty, some Taoists lived in seclusion in Wuyi Mountain. However, it seems that it was after the late Tang Dynasty that this place became really famous.Li Yue played in Wuyi Mountain in her previous life, but that was just to watch the flowers with the tour group. The impression of Wuyi Mountain was not very deep. One of the impressions of Wuyi Mountain is Dahongpao, and the other is when I watched the Romance of the Gods, I remember going out here The two co-stars, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, helped Ran Deng to overshadow Zhao Gongming. After conferring the gods, Zhao Gongming became the immediate boss of the two of them. What a sad reminder!

However, there are no legends about conferring gods at this moment. Even in the Tang Dynasty, China's immortal genealogy was actually a mess. The reason why Taoism could not compete with Buddhism for a long time was also because the Taoist immortal genealogy was chaotic. Apart from the righteous gods who have long been used as official sacrifices, the other gods are created by each branch of Taoism. In this way, the ranks of gods will expand more and more, and it is difficult to have a unified belief. This kind of self-government naturally has its own system earlier than Buddhism. Like Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat, they are all reflected in Buddhist scriptures. Ordinary believers who have read several Buddhist scriptures can say that they are ugly. .

But now a few children asked Li Yue about what kind of gods there were on Wuyi Mountain, so Li Yue had to rack his brains and talked about the so-called story of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.The problem is that these two are just extras in Fengshen, and when it was made into a TV series, they probably showed their faces in Wuyi Mountain, and then they made an appearance in Shijuezhen, and then they got lunch. Li Yue didn't know what these two had. History and supernatural powers.Therefore, I had to make up a few random sentences, and then it was inevitable to get involved in the matter of conferring gods.

As a result, not only the young ones were interested in it, but also Empress Li Zhiwu and even Princess Xincheng were also very interested in it.The Li family themselves respected Taoism, and all kinds of seeking immortality and asking questions were very popular in the Tang Dynasty.For example, there are many Taoist priests in Zhongnan Mountain who are convinced to seek immortality. Li Shimin also wanted to live forever when he was old, and died after eating the elixir refined by the Tianzhu people.Li Zhi saw with his own eyes that Li Shimin finally had back sores because of taking the elixir, and his death was really not peaceful.Therefore, he was really skeptical about seeking immortality, but Li Yue, combined with the TV and novels he had watched in his previous life, immediately began to be dubious.

"Do gods also want to play with their minds like this?" Li Yue said that Ran Deng used the name of destiny to ask Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to enter the top ten formations and be on the list of gods. Empress Wu couldn't help asking.

After hesitating for a while, Li Yue still said: "It's not the tricks, but the destiny! They are famous people on the list of gods, so they are destined to be on the list. As for why they are on the list, that's another matter!" Li Yue When I was watching Fengshen back then, at the beginning, I also felt that Chanjiao had all kinds of scheming and cunning, and I wanted to ask others to fill in the holes.However, when I read it later, I found that this book was about the destiny from the very beginning. Even if Nuwa, as a saint, was offended by the king, she couldn't kill him immediately. At first glance, there are still 28 years left for Tang. Destiny, it can only be silenced.What's more strange is that Nuwa sent three goblins to charm King Zhou, but Cheng Tangzao did not perish. In the end, it was still 28 years, which seemed to be a useless effort.The same goes for the others, anyway, there is no such thing as justice and evil, and no matter what your status is, the one who deserves to die must die.Just like the emperor's daughter Longji, she is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, the princess of Tiangong, but because of the so-called disaster, she has to go on the list of gods, not just for a cutscene, but also return to Tiangong to continue. Be your own fairy.

Li Zhi is not very interested in this kind of thing. What he is interested in is that many gods are actually mortals. He immediately became a little moved: "Can mortals also be listed as gods?"

Li Yue blinked his eyes: "Then there must be something special, for example, the blood of the ancient emperor or the gods and demons in the body, and then, you have to have made great contributions to the human race and the world, or what kind of experience you have. Character, otherwise, why would you confer gods? In fact, throughout the ages, most of the gods conferred by the imperial court are like this!"

This is the difference between Chinese civilization and other civilizations. The emperor of China can confer gods. Liu Bang added a black emperor among the four emperors. Since then, the four emperors have become five emperors. After that, the gods canonized by the court There are quite a few, most of them are city gods and mountain gods.

In short, when it comes to the God-making movement, no flower grower can enjoy it!After being told by Li Yue, Li Zhi understood that in the past dynasties, the court canonized gods followed the same process. They have background and merit. Under normal circumstances, it is loyalty. After all, what the court likes most is loyal ministers and filial sons. Set up a model for people all over the world to look up to and learn from. Then, everyone can save a lot of money. trouble.

Seeing Li Yue's indifference to things like conferring gods, Li Zhi felt a little weird, but he didn't think about it too much. After all, Li Yue had said it all, and these were nothing more than pieced together folklore .Are there still fewer folk legends about various gods?For example, the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was already being passed on at least in the Han Dynasty. Sometimes, some unsatisfied literati may make up a few jokes at will. As long as the spread is wide enough, after hundreds of years, the court will not You have to admit it.

"Okay, gods act, we mortals can't say anything, so, Shiwulang, don't speculate on your own! It's getting late, you haven't come back for a few years, the palace has always kept it the same for you, go back early Rest!" Seeing his sons chattering non-stop, Li Zhi immediately felt a headache and said hastily.

Li Zhi is now middle-aged, and the wind disease inherited from Empress Changsun has brought him a lot of troubles. He now feels that his eyesight has deteriorated, and he can't watch memorials for too long, otherwise he will feel dizzy. After a while, the children were talking non-stop like birds, and Li Zhi suddenly felt buzzing in his head, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and started to push people away!

Empress Wu was the best at observing words and expressions, so she naturally saw Li Zhi's discomfort and impatience, and said quickly: "Your Uncle Fifteen is going to stay in Chang'an for a while, what's the rush, it's not too late to talk about it later, besides, Fifteen If Lang doesn't enter the palace, you can leave the palace to look for him!"

Compared with Li Zhi, who was usually very gentle, the children obviously felt that Empress Wu was majestic. When Empress Wu spoke, the children immediately shut up obediently.

Princess Xincheng also got up and said: "Even so, brother, sister-in-law, sister will bid farewell with Shiwulang, and go to the palace to talk to brother and sister-in-law some other day!"

Li Zhi nodded and said: "In a few days, I will take the queen and a few children to Lishan to live for a while. Now my health is not as good as before, and I always feel that living in the palace is not comfortable. Daming Palace wants It can't be completed in one or two years, and it's faster to go to Lishan Song in winter every year!"

Princess Xincheng naturally knows that the children born to her mother have more or less physical problems. Princess Xincheng herself has become better after she has grown up, unlike before when the seasons changed. In the past, Li Zhi was pretty good at this aspect, but in recent years, some clues have been revealed. Therefore, Princess Xincheng persuaded: "Brother Huang, you still need to take good care of the dragon body, don't be too tired!"

Facing Princess Xincheng's concern, Li Zhi waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, and you are the same. Don't think that you've got better in recent years, so you don't take it seriously! It's all right, you all go back!"

After Li Yue and Princess Xincheng resigned, they each returned to their own mansions, and in the palace, the children were all sent back to their bedrooms. Li Zhi lay in Empress Wu's arms, closed his eyes and let Empress Wu help her He massaged his head, and it took him a long time before he said, "Awu, Fifteenth Lang is not too young now!"

Empress Wu sighed and said, "Yes, it's time to get married!"

Li Zhi still closed his eyes, and sighed: "I really don't know how to plan his marriage now!"

Empress Wu was also helpless: "Originally, I planned to match Shiwulang and Minyue, but my sister seemed a little unhappy!"

Li Zhi suddenly felt a little weak, and he said: "Min Yue is not suitable for Shiwu Lang, Min Yue is innocent and lively, ignorant of world affairs, she is really lacking in being a wife of Shi Shi Lang! And besides your sister, there is only Min Yue , Minzhi went to Fujian with Shiwulang, if Minyue also married, how could your sister bear this!"

Empress Wu knew this very well, and she was afraid that Wu Shun would have blown the pillow wind on Li Zhi's side long ago. He just sighed: "All mothers have the same heart. Who would be willing to go to Lingnan with a good child? Even if my sister is like this, other people naturally have the same thoughts. Fifteen Lang is certainly capable and considerate, but the world treats Lingnan There are many prejudices in this place, and the concubines have been looking for a candidate for Princess Fujian in recent years, but unfortunately, there has been no suitable one!" Speaking of this, she really wanted to scold Wu Shun for being short-sighted, and that He Lan Minyue would not marry Li Yue, what good marriage can there be? Now she is afraid that her daughter will suffer, but in the future, if someone is unkind, then she will not suffer?

However, most people in the world are like this, no wonder Wushun, Empress Wu just showed a rare fragility at the moment, she sighed: "I just feel sorry for Shiwulang, I can't really let him choose one of the various tribes in Baiyue." Wife!"

Li Zhi opened his eyes, seeing Empress Wu's rare weak posture at this moment, he sat up with his elbows propped up, and sighed: "Don't worry, I won't really let Shiwulang be wronged!" As he said that, he began to think about how many relatives in the royal family would be willing to marry Li Yue!

Li Yue also felt that there was a high probability that he would not sell well in the marriage market in Chang'an, but he didn't know that when he arrived in Lishan, he realized that there were actually quite a few women who were willing to marry.
