Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

The person who was still thinking about it just now turned her head and was in front of her eyes, Wu Meiniang's red eyes were wet again, she choked up and said: "Your Highness..."

Gao Yang walked in, looked at the sleeping prince, and asked in a low voice: "Is it better?"

Wu Meiniang shook her head: "The high fever doesn't subside, and it hurts the root." The prince can't do anything, once the prince dies, everyone will be useless.When something like this happened at the most critical time, one can imagine the pressure on Wu Meiniang.She couldn't help leaning on Gao Yang's shoulders, looking for comfort: "What should I do? What should I do?" His Highness didn't want to wait for her, and she also knew that she had served two generations of kings, and she was already weathered. Those who are not worthy of His Highness, even if she is already the empress and the most honorable woman in the Tang Dynasty, she is not worthy of His Highness.

But she couldn't give up. The past two days have been suffering every moment, and if she thinks about it, her heart is as painful as if it had been ripped out alive.How could she be willing to give up.

Everything seems to be coming to an end.Wu Meiniang tightly grabbed Gao Yang's skirt, she was eager to get His Highness to wait for her promise, but knew that His Highness would not promise, for a moment, she was full of anxiety and helplessness.

Gao Yang sighed, but couldn't bear it after all, stretched out his arms to hug her rapidly thinning body, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Goro will be fine in a few days, you just take care of him, I'm the only one to take care of him. "

Wu Meiniang nodded slowly, she was indeed inseparable from her body, and in her heart, what she owned was originally Gao Yang's, so she told Gao Yang whoever was available in court, without hiding anything.Gao Yang raised his hand to stroke her cold cheek, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to be so careful..." Meeting her pleading eyes, Gao Yang finally swallowed the last part of his words.

The crown prince is not good, it is a major matter for the country, Gao Yang was entrusted by the clansmen to visit the East Palace.When I entered the door, I saw Wu Meiniang sitting in front of the prince's couch, looking lonely and helpless.

No one knows better than her how strong and indomitable this woman who once entangled with her is, how strong her soul is, how far her vision is, and she will not be defeated by anyone .Gao Yang knew what kind of person Wu Meiniang was.

However, such a tough woman, she also has moments of weakness and helplessness.

"Where's Your Majesty?" Gao Yang walked outside and asked a eunuch.

The eunuch was a person close to the prince, heard about it and asked, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty came here once in the morning, and a beauty invited you later. Seeing that there is nothing wrong here, Your Majesty left."

Are you mentally ill?Gao Yang really has nothing to say, he is also a very ambitious king, why did he become like this?How did Ah Wu wear down his will to this point?

"Since that's the case, there is no need to alarm Your Majesty about the affairs of the Eastern Palace." Gao Yang said coldly, not out of anger. First, if something unexpected happened to the Eastern Palace, they could hide the news and make them turn around. Second, the Eastern Palace is still under control. The Queen's hands are more secure.

The eunuch nodded and bowed in agreement, then turned around and restrained everyone in the Eastern Palace.

The East Palace is uneasy, and people's hearts are floating.Gao Yang didn't plan to show up, she just needed to manipulate behind the scenes.Most of the officials in the court are subordinate to the queen, and [-]% to [-]% of the middle-level officials are from her sect. This is enough to maintain and stabilize.Gao Yang decided not to disturb the emperor's love affairs.

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others were all in Zhongshu, Gao Yangmi ordered them to submit a memorial to the queen, the queen had no time to spare, so naturally she who was hidden behind the curtain came to review it.Some people who want to take advantage of the chaos will be impeached directly; some people who want to contact the vassal king will be charged with crimes and sent to prison;Then ask the emperor to issue an edict to deter the kings and not allow them to act rashly.

Inside and outside the government and the public, there can be no chaos.

It's been a month since these things were done.The prince is a little better, but his body is getting weaker and weaker.

The prince can be dull, but he can't be weak, especially the young boy Yi Yao, which is really worrying.After finally raising the prince, he saw that he could be alone, but he was competing with others for profit, but he died suddenly. There was really nowhere to cry.The crown prince is the most critical step in Wu Meiniang's hands, and she must not lose anything, especially because she is the only son, and she doesn't even have a spare. The previous kings have grown up and are a little weak, and they are not stupid. Each has a mother's family, even if they are weaker, as long as they are not a Dou, they can support them.

Kings are unreliable.

If the concubine of the harem is allowed to give birth to a child who is not a parent and has no blood relationship, there will be gaps for people to take advantage of, and people's hearts will be unreliable.

The crown prince was just a little better, so Wu Meiniang had to consider candidates, and she was exhausted physically and mentally.If I had known this earlier, I would have left the one with Wu Chongrong.But she thought at that time that it is better to have one thing less than one thing more, and strive to be stable.

Then, there is only one way.Wu Meiniang was unable to hide her face.

Because the crown prince was not strong enough, Wu Meiniang had to delay the time when the emperor "drunk and stumbled". She had no affection for the emperor, and she would not be soft-hearted when she did it. Generally speaking, the crown prince saved his father's life .

In the winter of Xianqing's third year, the queen conceived again.

At that time, sitting in the warm side hall of the Lizheng Palace, the imperial doctor pulsed first, and his eyebrows and eyes moved. To be on the safe side, he confirmed it again and again, and congratulated him: "I congratulate the queen, this is the slippery pulse, and your majesty will add another prince." .”

Wu Meiniang smiled, seeming very happy: "Congratulations to His Majesty."

The imperial physician withdrew happily.Before long, everyone in the palace got the good news.Wu Meiniang sat quietly, she glanced at Caige, Caige understood, and led a group of palace people back out quietly.

Only Wu Meiniang was left in the hall, the calm joy on her face disappeared, and her eyes were numb.She thought a lot, if the baby was a boy, it would be easy, but if it was a princess, it would be unsatisfactory.I also thought that the prince's health is better, so don't let him study, rest a little longer, walk around, and build up his body is the best.Thinking about the stability of the imperial court again, there are always people who are unwilling to give up and want to make trouble.

She thought a lot, but she didn't dare to touch the softest part of her heart, only she didn't dare to think about what would happen to Gao Yang when he received the news.The crown prince was seriously ill. The emperor came several times, but most of them still lingered in his gentle hometown, helping her with foreign affairs, and it was His Highness who made her feel at ease. During that month, they could meet almost every day, and His Highness still treated her very well. She didn't pretend to be verbal, but she could feel the genuine concern under that unsmiling face.

What now?so what?

Wu Meiniang lowered her head, the tears in her eyes rolled down like broken beads, she covered her mouth, and the mournful sobs overflowed from the palm of her hand uncontrollably.

In the huge palace, she cried helplessly, her heart was pierced like a knife, her heart was broken, but that was it.

At this time, Gao Yang was receiving a foreign minister, the new governor who had just been promoted from the county guard.This person is known as Ren Zhigu, he used to serve in the Gaoyang Mansion, and later he recommended Gaoyang to a county guard. After more than ten years, he has now climbed to the position of governor by virtue of his ability.

Ren Zhigu bowed respectfully: "I have been paying homage to the benefactor for so many years, and I finally got to see the benefactor. I am not grateful."

With a faint smile, Gao Yang helped him to stand up: "You are already the governor, the governor of the frontier, you should pay attention to your words and deeds. What I did was just to push you, so I can't treat you like this."

At this moment, if Ren Zhigu nodded and said, "That's fine, I won't call you a benefactor, but I still respect you very much", it would be impossible to enter the center in this life, and Gao Yang would let him be in the governor's office. With a position to die, and a governor in a remote village, she can still do this for a foreign minister whose foundation is not stable enough.At this time, it is time to look at the degree of loyalty of a person. Whether he has achieved something or not, he is about to fly away, forgetting the old kindness.

Turning faces faster than flipping books is actually a skill.

Ren Zhigu belonged to a person with eyesight. He worked hard outside, and it took him more than ten years to rise from the eighth-rank official to the current second-rank high official. Sincerity is a capable minister. He knelt down in fear, and said: "Your Highness, How can I be an official today? What my benefactor has done, I am deeply impressed by this official, and I will never forget it." I am very worried, if something is not done well, His Highness wants to drive him out of the door.

How many people are fighting for the position of governor?He has done a good job as the sheriff, and he is comprehensive and reliable in his work, but he is not the only one. Who can rely on him to be promoted?Not to mention this time, who did you rely on for the previous promotions?There is no one in the center, and it is difficult for low-level officials to be promoted no matter how capable they are.Ren Zhigu understood very well.

This dynasty is very strange. Attaching to the princess has a better future than attaching to the kings.

Gao Yang helped him up, and his tone became a little more friendly: "Don't kneel at every turn. I just said to be careful with your words and deeds, and you are like this."

Hearing this voice, he didn't seem to be angry, Ren Zhigu was relieved, stood up cautiously, chose a seat and sat down on his knees.

This is the old man who went out under her family, um, with a small beard, outstanding appearance, smart and capable, this is the kind of person he wanted, Gao Yang was happy, and he was very polite to let him eat, and compared the temperament of the county guards of his new government with the Everyone said to him: "You should be cautious when governing a state. These three years are the key. If you do well, you can enter the center. For the Jiuqing, if you don't do well, it will take another three years. Don't be too cautious." Don’t worry too much, it’s still the same as before, if you have real talents and practical learning, you will never be buried!”

Ren Zhigu said gratefully: "The lower officials have written it down." As a princess, she not only knows the habits of the people in Beijing, but even the local officials know it clearly, which has to be admired.Having found a good backer, Ren Zhigu heaved a sigh of relief.

After the banquet, Ren Zhigu left, he only had three days to visit his old friend, once the three days were over, he was going to leave Beijing, he was in a hurry.

As soon as Ren Zhigu left, Jin Yang came, she saw Gao Yang, her face was full of unbearable, her voice was extremely gentle, full of worry: "Just now a palace official came to announce that the empress is pregnant."

Gao Yang was taken aback. After the first snowfall, the sky was as blue as a wash, so blue that it was dazzling. She raised her head, and tears finally fell down.
