Speaking of which, is the fate of Prince Li Zheng good or bad
In fact, it is difficult to generalize.
He was born by the empress of the late Emperor Long'an. He was a direct descendant. He had an ambitious eldest brother. According to common sense, when he grew up, he was likely to embark on a path to compete with his eldest brother for the favor of his mother and fight to the death and me. The path of the prince's defense.
The prince is gentle and quiet by nature - gentleness followed his grandfather, tranquility followed his mother, neither of them is a good example of a prince, his mother is troubled and sick, the mother's family has no power, people can't talk about ambition, and nothing The backbone, he was very fond of Emperor Long'an Li Feng, and was once crowned empress because of the emperor's favor.
However, after being sealed, the mud can't support the wall. Compared with the lineage of the first prince of Concubine Lu back then, no matter how you look at her, she will be a cannon fodder in the future.
But fate is always impermanent. When the young prince Li Zheng was only six or seven years old, the peace was broken and the country was in chaos.
Li Zheng, who was in the deep palace, did not have a very intuitive impression of the difficult years of war in those few years. He only remembered that there were very few cases in that year. In the early summer of that year, the capital was as hot as a boiler, and the western sky was steaming. With the purple air, people inside and outside the palace walls were panicking. The palace maids and chamberlains who came in and out did not even smile at all. They all came and went in a hurry. The father and the emperor had not seen for days. From time to time, one can always hear that the palace servants can lower their voices and report to the outside world, and keep fighting.
The prince was too young to understand what the adults were saying, but he remembered that this topic was always accompanied by the low sobbing of the queen mother.
Later, as the young prince grew up and began to understand the world around him, Daliang's situation improved little by little. After the fall, the Lu family was convicted of treason, Concubine Lu was demoted and sent to the cold palace, and the eldest prince never recovered.
At that time, the East Palace seemed to suddenly become a piece of fragrant pastry. For the first time, the prince felt the tide of power rising and falling, but he did not like it. The sages taught by Taifu did not have time to talk about these filth. things, and he had already felt uneasy beyond his age with a certain natural sensitivity - he always felt that ups and downs meant turmoil, and once there was a crowd, there was another time when the crowd was full.
Emperor Long'an has few heirs, the eldest son of the emperor is weak, the mother family of the three princes is humble, and he is young. Everyone thinks that the prince Li Zheng is the most honorable prince of Daliang - and he has not had this illusion with everyone, and he saw it with his own eyes. His father Emperor died in the chaos of the army.
That day, the little prince held the hand of the fourth emperor uncle in the chaos of the army, and he still regarded himself as a child in his heart.
For Daliang, it is the starting point of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the new era and the new policy.
For the little prince in the deep palace, the whole world seems to have changed.
The queen is cowardly by nature, and she always asks him to please the fourth uncle, because their orphans and widowed mothers’ lives have been hung on his uncle’s conscience and commitment from now on. When will I be able to live in the palace where I grew up.
Li Zheng used to like to be close to his uncle Li Min, but during that time he felt a lot of pressure when facing the fourth uncle. It turned out that the kind and erudite little uncle became the emperor, and even the title had to be changed for a while. Every day, the little prince bravely listened to the government affairs that he didn't know much about, and faced all the consideration or meaningful glances around him.
His mother was always inferior to Concubine Lu, she had no backbone of her own, and she had no definite decision, so she would only transfer the pressure to her son, and open her mouth and shut her mouth every day to ask him to "fight up".
But she had no idea what kind of anger he should fight for, or what kind of person he expected him to grow into in the future.
Everyone has their own confusion and predicament when they are young. For example, Gu Yun’s predicament is the black iron camp scattered all over the place. The predicament of Taishi Emperor Li Min is the terrible Urgu and Gu Yun—and the little prince Li Zheng’s predicament is him. That uncertain future.
But behind Gu Yun were tens of thousands of cutting wind blades and the ancestors and ancestors in the high hanging hall of the Gu family. Chang Geng had a little adoptive father who was always watching him and leading him.
But Li Zheng's surroundings were only filled with endless fear, and no one showed him a clear path.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Taishi, after a frost fell, Li Zheng's mother died suddenly in the endless fear and worry during her lifetime, and the emperor was buried according to the rules of the Ministry of Rites.
The fifteen-year-old prince has grown into a youthful appearance, and is taciturn day after day.
When the coffin was stopped, Chang Geng screened his back to the left and right, walked in slowly, and lightly pressed the shoulders of Li Zheng who was ready to salute. Li Zheng did not insist. Under the urging of his mother, he tried his best to figure out the likes and dislikes of the fourth emperor uncle every day, knowing that he did not like others to be polite in private.
Li Zheng: "Your Majesty."
Chang Geng glanced at him, and the young man immediately changed his words in embarrassment: "Uncle Huang."
"My condolences."
Chang Geng gave an order, and paid respects to the imperial sister-in-law, whom he had never seen before, and he just straightened up when he heard the little prince next to him say in a labored voice during the period of voice change: "This minister has no talent and no virtue, and cannot be of great use, please. The uncle abolished the position of the heir of the minister."
Chang Geng frowned and raised his head.
Luo# Xia# Xiao# Say# #
The appearance of this cheap nephew is not as dignified and dignified as his father, but a little too delicate. The young man was pale and thin, with an unchanging melancholy in the corners of his eyes and brows. He really didn't look like a precious person. The grandson of Fengzi.
Li Zheng said that sentence, as if he was frightened, his face was apprehensive, and somehow it was so coincidental that a gust of wind blew in outside the unclosed mourning hall, and the trivial decorations under the steam palace lanterns flickered. After a few times, he bumped into the spiritual position on one side, and the spiritual position fell down in response, and the young prince was stunned for a while.
Chang Geng got up with a calm expression, and respectfully raised the spiritual seat. The servants who rushed in in awe, waved their hands, turned to their nephew, and asked, "I heard that your master said that you read well, why do you suddenly think so? ?"
Li Zheng lowered his head and dared not speak.
Chang Geng paused for a while, then said again: "You often chased me to ask questions when you were young, and I even made up grass and insects for you. Why is it that you are separated from your fourth uncle now that you are older?"
Li Zheng was speechless, and murmured, "There is a difference between the ruler and the minister, and the minister is me."
When I think about it, Li Zheng didn't ask for anything from his uncle, but simply liked him. Although he still lived in the palace all these years, he always felt that he was relying on others, snorting, and involuntarily mixed up when facing the uncle. Many ingratiating and cautious, but have already changed the taste.
And when Li Zheng saw Chang Geng's eyes, he knew that this uncle of the Fourth Emperor, who was holding the building to the ground, was like a mirror in his heart. He knew everything, so he felt more and more ashamed.
"Abolishing the establishment of the Crown Prince is a major event," Chang Geng replied tepidly, "It is not something that you and I can arbitrarily decide if we have the state's laws."
Li Zheng's face flushed red, as if he was being selfish.
Chang Geng: "If you find it inconvenient to tell me something, you might as well talk to Marquis Anding. He will leave Beijing next month to inspect the military affairs of the Four Realms. If you are interested, you can ask him to show you."
Li Zheng was stunned.
Then Chang Geng laughed and said: "When the fourth uncle was your age, he was also full of confusion. That year, I had a big fight with the adoptive father who was instructed to take care of me, the Marquis of Anding, and insisted on running away from home. The master and General Zhong Lao traveled all over the beam, went to many places, saw all beings running for a living, and saw the rampant bandits, the life and death of the world saw more joys and sorrows, and sometimes those stuffed in your own heart seem to be able to change smaller."
No matter how ignorant the little prince was, he knew how much the Marquis of Anding holding the black iron tiger talisman was in the court and the army. When he was young and ignorant, he was very curious about the legendary hero and begged him to write a copybook. Later, he didn't dare. When his mother was alive, he was kept in the palace tightly, and he was not allowed to go out to make friends with courtiers. For fear that his son would go too far and obstruct the eyes of the new emperor, he never set foot in the mansion again.
"Don't be afraid of him, he loved you very much when you were young, remember?" Chang Geng mentioned Gu Yun, his eyes changed involuntarily, and he naturally smiled a little softly.
The prince didn't react for a while: "Is Gu Gushuai?"
Chang Geng walked out of the mourning hall, the prince was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed, the inner servants on both sides seemed to know that the uncle and nephew had something to say, and automatically retreated to the sides, the young new emperor walked in front with his hands behind his back, not shy He said to Li Zheng: "I don't care about other heirs for the time being. In a few years, I will pass the throne to you, but it will be a different country. When you sit in this position, you may find that the honor of the ninety-five is also You can’t just say everything. The entire court, and even the world, has its own rules of operation, there are laws on the top of the head, the ruler and the ministers, and the subjects and the people are mutually restrained, and you may even feel like a noble puppet.”
The world had never heard of these words, and Li Zheng was stunned.
Chang Geng tilted his head and glanced at him: "I don't know if you can accept it."
Li Zheng: "I"
"You don't need to reply to me now," Chang Geng smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the boy's head, "You can go out and see the outside world first, then come back after thinking about it, if it doesn't work, I can find a way to get rid of the clan. To adopt other heirs, don't think too much."
Said that Chang Geng left on his own, and he hurriedly came to visit the tomb, and then went back to live outside the palace.
"Fourth Uncle Huang," Li Zheng suddenly stopped him, "Why don't you want your own children?"
"I have been to the place where I belonged all my life, and I have no regrets after my death, so I don't need to leave any blood." Chang Geng paused, saw Li Zheng's ignorant face, shook his head and smiled, "I don't understand you, I will understand when I grow up. ."
Li Zheng: ""
Half a month later, Emperor Taishi was able to defy all opinions with superb skills, and granted the prince's request to accompany the Marquis of Anding to tour the four realms. Li Zheng followed Gu Yun for three months, stepping on the air, water, and steam rails. After visiting three mountains and six rivers in the whole country, and then as if addicted, he often finds excuses to leave the capital, and he is not in the palace for half a year.
Three years later, when Li Zheng turned eighteen, he went to the former Yanwang Mansion, the current emperor Biezhuang, and chatted with Chang Geng for a whole night. Chang Geng agreed with him to bring a full body of guards, and went to the sea-going caravan led by Du Gongzi. wider areas overseas.
It is said to be a caravan, but in fact, dozens of long and short Jiao dragons accompanied it. In addition to Du Gongzi and others who led the ship, there were also some elite soldiers of the Daliang Navy and experts from the Lingshu Academy headed by Cao Chunhua, Liran and others to escort them. In addition to the trade goods, they also brought credentials and negotiated treaties.
After Li Zheng came back, he laughed at himself. With his dull and mediocre aptitude, he was not ranked among the Li family's generations, but he was definitely the furthest out of the wild.
In the 18th year of Taishi, Gu Yun handed back the black iron tiger talisman and hung up the seal to resign. A few months later, the crown prince Li Zheng took over the throne from his uncle, who had always said nothing. The universal new calendar continues the new era that has been steadily lifted after eighteen years of stumbling and groping by the predecessors.
So far, the mountains and rivers are still the same, and the four seas are peaceful.
