Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 295: The prototype appears

Views:

Was Li Zhi weak in history? The largest territory map of the Tang Dynasty was born in his hands, so he is not weak!

Did Li Zhi in history have no independent opinion? If so, then he would not have kept Wu Mei in the harem after meeting Wu Mei at Ganye Temple, and he would not have finally decided to make Wu Mei his queen.

Not to mention disintegrating the Guanlong Group headed by his uncle Changsun Wuji, so as to relieve the constraints on his political ambitions and govern the country with his own will! With the disintegration of the Guanlong Group, the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's territory, and the display of his political talents in the court, would such Li Zhi be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty without any opinion? Absolutely not.

So Li Zhi in history really didn’t have a city government? Are you a novice who doesn't understand politics and strategy? Then Shangguan Yi would not be allowed to draft the post-abolition edict, although in the end he gave up after Wu Mei begged.

But it is enough to show that Li Zhi did not have no scruples and took measures to stop Wu Mei's interference in politics, but in the end he cared about the relationship between his wife and his wife, and finally relented.

In the end, Li Zhi was fixed on the pillar of shame of cowardice in history. Now it seems that it was just because his body was too weak and the vertigo accumulated over the years had been tormenting him since he was thirty years old, and it was worn away too early and too quickly. His ambition and passion.

This kind of disease has been tormenting for more than 20 years. An ordinary person would probably lose his fighting spirit for political ideals and ambitions faster and earlier than Li Zhi. I am afraid he would have been tortured like a zombie.

In addition, Li Hong, the eldest son of the empress, was a prince and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he was also physically weak. The fate of father and son was tragic and they were cruising in the same sick boat. The dragon throne of the Tang Dynasty was unthinkable. It's a little difficult to be swayed in the wind and rain.

Li Zhi's weak body, coupled with the sick body of His Highness the Crown Prince, forced Wu Mei to participate too much in court affairs even if she did not want to participate in court affairs and just wanted to save her own life.

Li Hong's existence suppressed Wu Mei's ambition. It can even be said that if Li Hong had not died young, Wu Mei might not have had a greater ambition to control the court. After all, no matter from which aspect, as long as Li Hong does not rebel or die, the throne will basically belong to him.

As for his frail body, even when he was the prince and supervising the country, he was too weak to handle the government affairs himself. Instead, the officials of the East Palace handled it on his behalf. You will find that Li Hong's illness and sudden death were definitely not related to Wu Mei. It is related. If it is related, Wu Mei will give the officials of the East Palace the opportunity to handle the government affairs on behalf of the prince

Li Hong stood in Wu Mei's dormitory in Penglai Hall, trying to figure out Li Hong's situation at that time in history. He found that even when Li Hong was at his weakest in history, his status as prince was untouchable and absolutely unstoppable. He is the absolute number one seed chosen by the heir to the throne.

But no one would have thought that he would die young in history and then give Wu Mei more opportunities to control the court.

Historically, Li Hong died before Li Zhi. In addition, Li Zhi suffered from vertigo that could not be cured. Wu Mei controlled the court. As the second heir, Li Xian naturally felt lonely at this time. In his heart, the ambition for power gradually grows.

If it were done step by step, maybe after Li Xian was established as the crown prince, he would become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But he was too hasty. In order to gain power, he even went against Wu Mei. You don't have to think about what will happen next. A queen who has controlled the government for many years faces a rookie who has just been established as the crown prince. There is no suspense about the outcome of this political battle. Wu Mei wins.

In his mind, Li Hong quickly sorted out the grievances and grievances between the two couples in the previous life, and quickly calculated how to answer his father's words of asking him to supervise the country in front of his mother, Queen Wu Mei.

"It's not impossible for my son to supervise the country, but... there are still a lot of things that have not been dealt with over there. Even if I am my son to supervise the country, you have to pay attention to your health in the future and get well soon, otherwise the superintendent will be very tired. "Li Hong's ambiguous words made Li Zhi frown and Wu Mei roll her eyes.

"I know my health myself. It's not the last resort yet. It was my father's idea to ask your mother to call you back urgently this time..."

"Actually, you are just as good at summoning me as a messenger. There is no need to use the guise of being a queen. My sons and ministers will come back in a hurry." Li Hong curled his lips, and the feather duster flew over at this moment. There was no place to hide, so he had to A hard hit.

"You can't just listen to what your father has to say!" The feather duster in Wu Mei's hand was a little dazzling, and she took it back after seeing Li Hong become more honest.

"I want you to come back because my father wants you to learn more about how to deal with government affairs while there is still a chance. Otherwise, if my father has a problem, no one will be able to teach you. Although you are usually a little smart, there is nothing you can do. He has an unstable temperament and is easily impulsive, so he is not suitable for managing ministers in the court."

"Yes, my father's lesson is right, and I will respect your teachings." Li Hong said honestly under the power of the feather duster.

But in my mind, I couldn't help but think of the historical Li Zhi who once called the historical Li Hong to his side when he was ill. His words had the meaning of Zen. Now this historical plot cannot be ignored. Could it be the current moment you are in

But the plot seems wrong at the moment! The emperor only asked him to supervise the country, but did not mention the Zen position in history! Have you been deceived by history books? impossible

"In a few days, when my father's health is better, I will issue a summons and appoint you as the Minister of the Province. You have made such a contribution in the campaign against Anxi, which is enough to make you comparable to the late emperor. You should also enjoy the same The honor of the late emperor is the same. My father is not a stingy person. It belongs to you, and I will not give it to you less." Li Zhi coughed twice, and when he said this, his eyes that were still slightly dim changed. Be as bright as a star, shining with wisdom and composure.

"Also, that Pei Wanying is Pei Xingjian's daughter. Please restrain your little thoughts. Don't push others into a hurry. You must know how to proceed step by step, you know?" Wu Mei took over Li Zhi's words and said, but her tone was similar. Compared to Li Zhi, he seemed much more threatening to Li Hong.

Regardless of whether Li Hong heard Wu Mei's words or not, at least Li Zhi felt comfortable, extremely satisfied, and extremely useful.

Li Hong shook his head when he heard this. These two couples are interesting: one gives good advice on "career", and the other gives sincere teachings on "love".

"Yes, I understand. I respect the orders of my father and mother." Li Hong answered honestly.

"Okay, it's getting late. Go back to the East Palace and rest early. You can attend the morning court for me tomorrow." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

If it were Li Xian or Li Zhe at this moment, even if he had something to say, he would have to hold it back in his stomach. He could only wait for the day when his father was in good health, and then report it again.

But there was an "unfilial person" who didn't have that awareness. The two-skinned person didn't know that it was his father Long who gave him an order to expel him. Instead, he said without realizing it: "Start tomorrow? Oh... Oh fine."

Seeing the elusive feather duster in his mother's hand, Li Hong quickly changed his mind, but his stubbornness remained unchanged and he acted like a monster anytime and anywhere: "Father, please give me a token, otherwise I will go to court tomorrow. , when I enter the palace, I have to let those people check the fish charms and other messy things. You can give me a token or a warrant or something, as long as I can come in without looking at their faces... "

With a whoosh, Li Zhi, whose chest was heaving without waiting for breath, scolded him, and the feather duster in Wu Mei's hand showed its power again: "When have you entered this palace whenever you wanted? When have you ever been inspected? Isn't it today? I just checked you? Isn't this because you rushed back to Chang'an from other places? If you had been in Chang'an and in the East Palace, who would have dared to check you? You were asked to supervise the country. You are still making this request and that request, Li Hong , tell me, are you deliberately seeking death? Your Majesty, please don’t stop me. You have tolerated him for so long. Since you came back from Anxi, you have done some serious things except for Lantian. What do you think? What other serious things has Hong done?”

Li Hong was chased by Wu Mei who got up from the beauty's bed and had no way to escape. He almost jumped onto Wu Mei's bed with his shoes on, but fortunately he still had some self-awareness and could only surround the beauty. Tu and Wu Mei fight guerrilla warfare.

After receiving several blows from the feather duster all over her body, Wu Mei chased after Li Hongchui, panting and disheveled, sitting on the bedside and holding Li Zhi's hand. Well, it was Li Zhi who held Wu Mei's hand to prevent her from beating the little brat again. If she was beaten harder, she would have to follow someone's will tomorrow morning.

"Get out of here quickly, I'm annoyed when I see you." The feather duster in Wu Mei's hand was still going to greet Li Hong who was behind the beauty's couch, but someone had already picked up the palace maid and stood in front of him, placing his chin on the palace maid's shoulder. Wear Wu Mei as if begging for mercy.

"Father, you'd better get well soon, it won't work if it goes on like this. Hmm... Let me think about it, there is one more thing I almost forgot. By the way, I sent Bai Chun to find some cooks from Lingnan Road , I'm afraid it will arrive soon. After arriving, I will test it in the East Palace first, and then you will let Huaji check it. If there is no problem, it will be placed in the imperial dining room." Li Hong raised his head and said the same thing when talking about business. It is rare that there is no playful smile.

"Why are you looking for a cook? Which of the cooks in the imperial kitchen has provoked you again?" Wu Mei was always ready for a second wave of attacks.

Li Hong sighed helplessly, couldn't Mother Long imagine her son to be more truthful, kind and beautiful

He said helplessly: "Lingnan cuisine pays more attention to health preservation, and more importantly, their dishes are light and fresh, which can alleviate some of my father's illnesses, especially the soup..."

"Don't put coriander and chopped green onion, thank you." Wu Mei laughed out loud after hearing the soup. Her first reaction was to think of Li Hong's fallacy.

Then, with Li Hong stunned, Wu Mei lay on Li Zhi's chest, her whole body trembling with laughter, causing Li Zhi to laugh too.
