Great Tang Southern Emperor

"..." Locke shrugged his shoulders and motioned for permission.

"Then let's wait and see." Li Zhen also showed a hint of reluctance: "If I finally crack the secret, I will definitely burn this book to you, so that you can see for yourself how I cracked the secret inside." secret."

"..." Locke smiled comfortably, and finally closed his eyes.

"Your Highness..." Fang Yiai held up Locke's body: "What should we do next?"

Li Zhen said indifferently: "Burn his body, and find a good place to bury his ashes in Japan."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After Fang Yiai finished speaking, she took Locke's body and left.

"Let's go too, we've got what we want most, there's no point in staying here any longer."

"Yes."

Chapter 1244 The Arrival of Wu Meiniang ([-] words)

Chapter 191 The Arrival of Wu Meiniang ([-] words)

Locke bit his tongue and committed suicide. Although Li Zhen felt very sorry, this regret did not last long. He was quickly distracted by other affairs.Moreover, although Locke's suicide was outside of Li Zhen's plan, it was also expected, because even if he did not die, Li Zhen would exile him to a deserted island, and die alone in despair. It was much more painful than committing suicide, so it would be better to just have a good time, so that dying in front of Li Zhen just showed his integrity, and made Li Zhen think highly of him.

Locke's affairs are just a tiny bit of the many small affairs that Li Zhen handles. As the lord of Lingnan, he sits on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. He is not an emperor better than an emperor. Li Shimin is so rare that he is only 23 years old now, but his head has gradually turned white.

The Admiralty of the Naval District was originally the core of the Bohai Naval District, and almost all orders were issued from here. It is also the most prosperous building built in the entire Dengzhou City, and it is also a landmark of Dengzhou.But after Li Zhen arrived, he immediately occupied this place... In fact, it is not considered to be occupying, but before Li Zhen arrived, all the officials of the general manager's mansion took the initiative to move to other places to work, and this place was occupied. Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Baoqing redecorated it and let Li Zhen live in it temporarily as the prince.

"My God, this emperor is really not easy to do." Stretching her waist, Li Zhen muttered to herself: "There are already so many affairs in Lingnan, after taking over the Great Tang, then Why don't you overwhelm me with official duties?"

Li Zhen couldn't help feeling dizzy when she thought that it was only a pediatrics department now, and the hard days were yet to come: "It seems that Huang'er must be trained as soon as possible, otherwise my fate will not be much better than those promising kings in history It's..."

In the prince's guard of honor not far from Dengzhou City, Li Huang, who was sleeping soundly in a car, suddenly shuddered. Although he was still very young, the good education he had received since childhood still made him feel bad It felt like he was being tricked by someone, but fortunately he was just a young boy, although he was old, he didn't put this kind of thing on his body, rubbed his nose and fell asleep.

It's just that some things are not transferred by the will of the provoker. He thought nothing happened, but the chills fell on him in the eyes of others was a big deal, and it frightened the accompanying nuns and eunuchs. I thought the emperor's grandson had some kind of disease.It was called the imperial doctor and reported to Wu Meiniang, and kept saying that the whole team was in a mess, and those who didn't know thought they were attacked.

In the end, the imperial physician diagnosed and treated for a long time, but came to the conclusion that the emperor and grandson were exhausted from traveling all the way and lacked energy. He just needed to take a good rest for a while, and then he prescribed a tranquilizer and left.Only then did Wu Meiniang breathe a sigh of relief, and waved her hand to put down the eunuchs and maids who had been detained. These court ladies and eunuchs were also terrified. It can be said that the words of the imperial physician saved their lives. None of the people who waited on Li Huang would want to live, and all of them would have to be killed—don’t doubt, Wu Meiniang can definitely do this, after all, this is a ruthless person who even killed several of her own sons in history Ah (everyone only knows that few of Li Shimin's sons ended well. In fact, among Li Zhi's eight sons, few ended well. Most of them were killed by Wu Meiniang).

Although history has changed now, what has been changed is only the general trend, but it does not affect a person's character. Wu Meiniang is still the character in history, but with Li Zhen's restraint, she should not be contaminated by the government. Naturally, there is no There is no possibility of monopolizing power or even becoming emperor.

The news soon reached Li Zhen's ears, he didn't know that Li Huang's all this was because of him, and he didn't have any worries, he was just full of joy now: "Great, I can finally rest for a while. "

In fact, although there are many things in Lingnan, but because most places in Lingnan implement the Governor-General System and the Governor-General System, the Governor-General holds great power, and can even judge life and death with one word. At present, most of these things in front of Li Zhen are actually It can be handed over to the governors.It's just that Li Zhen is their nominal boss after all, and the governors are all by his side, so most of them still submit some important matters and ask their own opinions—and, now there is a telegram, The speed of information transmission is extremely fast. Although Li Zhen is not in Lingnan, her grasp of Lingnan is not inferior to that of before, and it can even be said to be faster and faster before helping you.

And don't forget, these Governors and Protectors are all by Li Zhen's side now, and they don't carry telegrams with them, so only Li Zhen can receive Nanyang's information so quickly.

"Let's classify these papers and hand them over to the governors. Each one of them will know that they will be lazy, and everything will be found on Ben Gong." Before Li Zhen couldn't find an excuse to divide the matter, but now that Wu Meiniang has arrived, she can finally Freed myself from busy affairs.While Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, she was even more grateful to her wife and children. If they hadn't arrived in time, who knows how long she would have endured?

"Yes." A eunuch immediately stepped forward to sort out the memorial, while Li Zhen led a group of people out—someone had already reported it just now, and Wu Meiniang had already led the team not far from the city gate. Almost in town.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhen arrived at the gate of the city, she saw a team slowly approaching the general manager's mansion, and the leaders were naturally Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Baoqing, the local snakes.

Except for the two leading the way, all of Li Zhen's subordinates were waiting at the gate of the city. When they saw Li Zhen approaching, they immediately persuaded, "Your Highness, why did you come out? This is not in line with etiquette. You should go back first. We I will send the crown princess and the emperor's grandchildren there."

They welcome the crown princess, that is because the crown princess and the emperor's grandson are the masters and the emperor, and they are the ministers, so it is only natural for the ministers to welcome the emperor.But Li Zhen is different. Li Zhen is the crown prince, the husband of Wu Meiniang and other concubines, and the father of Li Huang and the others. No matter in terms of etiquette or legal principles, it is very inappropriate to go out to greet him in person. The Taoist priests and old pedants knew about it, and they might sue him again in front of the emperor.

This is the most critical moment for Li Zhen to succeed to the throne, any mistakes can be avoided, but Li Zhen doesn't follow the rules, this...

"It doesn't matter, I have my own opinion in my heart." Li Zhen said indifferently, how could the matter be so serious?It is not once or twice that he does not play cards according to common sense. If he would be deposed just because he did not follow the etiquette, then Li Zhen would have been deposed long ago, or it is impossible for him to be the prince at all—or Li Shimin What I value most about Li Zhen is his disobedience to etiquette, because only with such a character can he look at problems from a different perspective and discover the truth of things.Only a character like Li Zhen could break the monopoly of Confucianism on the Central Plains culture for thousands of years, completely dig out the foundation of the aristocratic family, and get rid of the shackles of the aristocratic family on the court.

Or to put it more bluntly, if Li Zhen hadn't been so deviant, Li Shimin might not have been able to favor him, let alone give him such great authority—you have to know what Li Zhen did no matter whether it was in It is a big taboo in any era, whether it is a large-scale private training of the youth army, or anything else, if Li Shimin is not really optimistic about Li Zhen, even if he is revered as the eternal sage, it is definitely impossible to accommodate Li Zhen. Chaste.

Without authority, it is impossible for Li Zhen to train the most powerful army in the world, cultivate a large-scale intelligence organization, and even go to war against enemy countries, so it is impossible to establish the great achievements that are stronger than Li Shimin today, and even more so. He will not be established as a prince, and will soon be enthroned as an emperor.

"..."

"Daddy..." The speed of the guard of honor was very fast. After just a short while, he had already come to the front, and then a cute voice came from the car. Before Li Zhen could react, she saw a petite figure stepping out of the carriage. Flying up and down, this made Li Zhen startled, and immediately stretched out her hands like a conditioned reflex, and hugged the figure in her arms.

There is no doubt that there will be no other person who can make such a bold move, except for Li Zhao, who is fearless. There are a few mischievous children in the other children, but most of them Most of them are still young, but not as courageous as Li Zhao.

And Li Zhen is used to being so courageous. You must know that Li Zhen upholds the belief that daughters should be rich.Although they were born in the royal family, it doesn't matter if they are poor and rich, but Li Zhen is still more doting on girls, while boys are stricter - although the severity of Re is not scary to children, At least compared to the Great Demon King Wu Meiniang, she is much more merciful.

It is precisely because of this reason that the children are very attached to Li Zhen and like to play with Li Zhen very much. It is a pity that Li Zhen has too many things to do, and the free time he has every day is really limited, but it is also because of playing with Li Zhen This rare opportunity made them rely on Li Zhen even more, and cherish the good time with Li Zhen even more.

"Hehehe... Daddy, I miss you so much." Mengwa hugged Li Zhen's neck and did not let go, shaking while laughing.

Holding Li Zhao, Li Zhen was both happy and angry and said, "Why are you so naughty now? If Dad didn't respond in time, you would have broken."

"Isn't this one with a father?" Li Zhao shook her head coquettishly.

However, Li Zhao's complacency did not last long, because the Great Demon King came...

"You crazy girl, your courage is getting bigger and bigger. When you grow up, do you want to go to heaven?" Wu Meiniang snatched Li Zhao from Li Zhen's arms, and scolded softly.

"..." Li Zhao lowered his head, pouted his mouth, wanted to cry but didn't dare, wanted to say something but didn't have the guts, looked so pitiful, it broke Li Zhen's heart.

Finally, Li Zhen couldn't help but wanted to interject: "Meiniang, that..."

"Your Highness, don't interrupt, she is really getting more and more presumptuous, and she doesn't even know what the occasion is? There are no rules at all. I must teach this child a lesson today."

Fortunately, it was in front of people, Wu Meiniang still took care of Li Zhen's face, otherwise, if it was in private, she would immediately glared at her with murderous eyes, making sure that Li Zhen dared not say a word, but would change immediately. The camp, with a clear banner, waved the flag for Wu Meiniang.

However, Li Zhen still saved Li Zhaoyi's life: "No, let's wait until we learn the lesson. Now that everyone is here, there are so many people, it's just a joke."

"Ah... the concubine was rude, please forgive me, Your Highness." Only then did Wu Meiniang realize that it was a formal occasion, and she had made such a big mistake, her anger receded immediately, and she quickly recovered her demeanor.

In fact, as early as when Li Zhao appeared, everyone had already turned their backs, but turning their backs could only divert their eyes, but not their voices, and the words they shouldn't hear fell into their ears after all.And to be honest, it was the first time they saw Li Zhen being so weak. When did Li Zhen not act domineering in front of them before?When have you ever been so humble?

It is said that once before, an envoy from a small western country came to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage, and first met Li Zhen when passing through Lingnan.According to the rules of their country, the envoys only need to pay a half salute to meet him. In addition, they only heard about the great Tang Dynasty, and they had never actually seen it. Therefore, they also did the same when they met Li Zhen. As a result, this The action angered Li Zhen.But if they were guests, Li Zhen couldn't do anything with them, so she simply gathered a hundred thousand youth army in the name of inviting the envoys to parade, and brought the envoys there.

As I said before, the military parade in the Tang Dynasty was a trap. The prisoner offering ceremony five years ago was just a mix and match of various military branches, and it had already pitted the envoys of various countries. It was even more astonishing - the Hundred Thousand Young Army released all the aura of the whole body without reservation, and the evil spirit could be said to go straight to the sky. Where did the envoy of the small country experience such a thing?I was so scared that I peed, and my whole body was limp on the ground. After I came back to my senses, the military parade was over. Facts have proved that those who can be diplomatic envoys may not be able to do it, but they all have an exquisite heart, and the envoy of a small country is naturally smart. People, immediately understood what Li Zhen meant, and didn't care about losing an adult, so he hurriedly washed up, prepared a generous gift again, asked to see Li Zhen again, and learned about the rules of the Tang Dynasty in advance, it was time to come up. A five-body prostration is more grand than a full ceremony.

Li Zhen's strength can be seen in general. They originally thought that Li Zhen was in this situation regardless of public or private, but who knew that in private it was actually a tracheitis, which made some people worry——the prince is so weak in front of the princess. It's not a good sign, as the time goes on, the Crown Princess will become more and more powerful, and maybe the harem will become involved in politics...

Chapter 1245 Heavenly King's Rebellion

Chapter 192 The Heavenly King's Rebellion

If Li Zhen were to know their thoughts, he would definitely be wronged. He really couldn't become strong in front of Wu Meiniang, but that was because it was a family matter, because Wu Meiniang was in charge of family affairs. Zhendu can't easily interfere, so she appears a little weak.

But if it's on official business, wouldn't Li Zhen listen to Wu Meiniang's opinion? On the contrary, once Wu Meiniang shows that she wants to interfere in political affairs, Li Zhen will definitely stop it immediately and raise her vigilance against Wu Meiniang—you know this But a strange woman whose talent is no less than that of the emperor, and the only woman in history who forcibly sat on the throne with the body of a daughter.

And the reason why Wu Meiniang was born with such a big ambition in the later period is because Li Zhi's health became worse and worse in the later period, and even his eyes had problems, so he had to let Wu Meiniang handle some affairs for him. Things got worse and worse, Wu Meiniang dealt with more and more things, and the power she controlled was getting bigger and bigger, so that she monopolized the court and dominated the world, and finally gave birth to ambition. After Li Zhi died, she abolished her two sons one after another. , Sitting on the throne himself.

In other words, Wu Meiniang's ambition was not born from the beginning, but was slowly cultivated by the environment. Fortunately for Li Zhen, Wu Meiniang has never interfered in government affairs since she married him. Meaning, it also made Li Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise Li Zhen really didn't know how to treat Wu Meiniang after the two had known each other for 20 years-couldn't they be abolished?Li Zhen was really reluctant.Moreover, the composition of Li Zhen's harem is also very chaotic. She has always been intimidated by Wu Meiniang, so there is no problem. Once there is no Wu Meiniang, the world will definitely be in chaos.

It's okay, it's okay, at present, Wu Meiniang may really be used to her current identity, and she doesn't intend to jump out.

"Forget it, you are also concerned about chaos, let's go back." Looking at Wu Meiniang, Li Zhen didn't want to say anything, but just called everyone to go back together.

"Yes." Only then did everyone turn around pretending.
