Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

When spring came and it was rainy season, the Taishang Huang suffered another headache, this time it was more menacing than any other time in the past.All the imperial physicians were sent to stay in Shangyang Palace.No one treated him badly, at least on the surface.The concubines and concubines he loved in the past also moved to serve, and they never refused to give them food or wine.Regardless of the absence of the throne, it is the same as before.

Wu Meiniang guarded against his restoration and kept him from contacting courtiers, even the emperor seldom saw him.This time when he was ill, the King of Wu asked to see the Supreme Emperor: "The emperor's dragon body is unwell, and the ministers are very anxious. I hope that the Queen Mother Yun and the ministers will see the sky, so that they can be comforted."

Wu Meiniang looked at the worried King Wu who seemed to be haggard because of the emperor, and sighed, you said so piously, if I didn't know that you had no good intentions, I would have thought you admired him.Nodded: "What's so difficult about seeing the emperor? But the emperor has a headache attack, the pain is unbearable, and sometimes he can't see things, please be gentle, so as not to disturb the emperor."

King Wu was sure, and complacently agreed, and took a few ministers to the Shangyang Palace to see that the emperor was still asleep. After waiting for a while, the emperor woke up, clutching his forehead, and complained of pain. good.The king of Wu watched carefully, the emperor did not pretend to be like this, so he couldn't help but find it tricky.

He wanted to take charge of the government in the name of the restoration of the emperor.In this world, he should have had his share. My father also favored him back then. If it wasn't for his lack of background, how could he get Jiulang's turn?Now that he has a chance, he must hurry up.People who miss once often don't allow themselves to miss the second time.He thinks that he has a broad mind and can go down mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, so he can't live his life in such an unknown way.

Standing in his way now is the Queen Mother.

King Wu withdrew from Shangyang Palace, surrounded by several ministers who were attached to him.Today's weather is fine, sunny and sunny.He is old and well-maintained, his black hair mixed with * is meticulously tied up, a sword is worn around his waist, and he walks like a dragon and a tiger, like a valiant husband.

"Your Highness, the Emperor's energy is low, and I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with the Empress Dowager." Is there a need for a new method?The minister with white beard and hair, who looked very upright said.

King Wu's expression was as usual, and he smiled calmly and said: "It's okay, since the emperor is ill, he can rest assured to recover from his illness, and for the rest, his subordinates will do their best." I didn't expect him to be of any help at first.

He was so sure of winning that the ministers also became full of confidence: "When a woman is in power, there will be disasters and chaos. Your Highness will fight the chaos on behalf of the heavens. We are willing to contribute our strength!"

King Wu smiled leisurely, and strode out of the palace.As soon as they left, a person came out of the palace behind them, Wu Meiniang looked at their backs with contempt.Her eyes were deep and her chin was raised slightly, anyone could see her disdain for King Wu and others.

The emperor is ill, and there is another person who cares deeply about him is Jinyang.As soon as she received the news, she immediately entered the palace to visit. Gao Yang looked at her hurried figure and sighed. Pulling it down, and going to visit like a victor to show off when someone is sick, Gao Yang thinks she can't do it yet, she is a relatively low-key person.

I didn't ask much.

Jinyang left early and returned late every day, Xincheng was worried about her and followed her every day.

Wu Meiniang knew who entered and who left the palace every day, but Gao Yang never came.Three months have passed since the last time, and Gao Yang never came.

Taiping has already grown four teeth, and she always likes to hold the cake bait and put it in her mouth, she is very delicate and cute, Gao Yang didn't come to see her.

His Highness was perfunctory to her last time.Wu Meiniang was very sad, but now, she didn't dare to be too radical, lest she would annoy His Highness and annoy her.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Taiping waved his fat arms and opened his mouth to shout.

Wu Meiniang hugged her, and softly taught her: "Mother."

"Ah, ah, ah, ah..." He is not very flexible in his articulation, and he can't tell people yet, but he has studied hard.

Wu Meiniang smiled, with a faint sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, and called her softly: "Taiping..." When you grow up, I will not force you to do anything, let you live your life wantonly and clearly, without being restrained by others, and unpopular. Worry, make up for all my shortcomings.

Gao Yang re-entered the palace, half a month later, Jin Yang collapsed from exhaustion.Every day, she would get up at the crowing of the cock and return at sunset, running back and forth between the two places. After a long time, she was finally tired.

Gao Yang rushed over to Shangyang Palace, Jin Yang was placed in the side hall, she was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, her face was pale, she was haggard and tired.An imperial physician was taking her pulse, Gao Yang held his temper, and when he finished his diagnosis, he was about to ask a question, so he heard that Xin Cheng was one step ahead of her, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter with Shiba Niang?"

The imperial physician replied: "His Royal Highness Jinyang is weak and tired." He hesitated for a moment, seeing the two eldest princesses looking at her solemnly, Fang Shen said: "Presumably His Highness Gao Yang knows, Jinyang Your Highness is born with a bad foundation, so don't work too hard... You need to take care of it carefully in the future, and you can't be so tired like this time."

He didn't say exactly what it was like, but only talked about it in general terms, rest and nourishment are the most important thing, both Xincheng and Gao Yang were worried: "How to rest in peace? How to warm and nourish?" If necessary, he should explain clearly.

The imperial physician was forced to write down a series of prescriptions and food tonic treatments in black and white. He was very worried that His Royal Highness Jinyang might be in trouble, so he held him accountable. For his own life, he had no choice but to be extra cautious.

In the afternoon, Jinyang woke up.Rubbing her eyes, there were two people in front of the couch, she subconsciously looked at Gao Yang: "Seventeen Niang."

woke up.Gao Yang said with a smile: "If you can get up, go home."

Xincheng was a little dejected, but she knew that Jinyang had this kind of virtue, so she didn't say anything, and helped Jinyang get dressed, and she even bent over to put on the shoes and socks.Jin Yang felt a little uncomfortable, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xincheng ignored her and went out to ask her to buy a sedan chair.As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Wu Meiniang waiting there, she froze, nodded and said: "Queen Mother."

Wu Meiniang smiled, seeing that the worry on her face was no longer there, she knew that Jin Yang must have woken up: "The sedan chair and the imperial physician have already been put down."

"Thank you." Xincheng said, seeing that Wu Meiniang had nothing to say, she turned and entered the hall.

When they came out again, Wu Meiniang was no longer there, I don't know how long she had stood there before, and why she didn't enter.Xincheng didn't say anything at the time, after dark, he went to Gao Yang alone and told her about it.

Gao Yang was silent for a moment and said: "Just take care of Sizi."

Xincheng has no other words: "I was willing to take care of her, I only hope that I can take care of her in my life."

Gao Yang looked at her, she nodded slowly, Gao Yang smiled: "As long as she is willing." She will not stop.

With this remark, Xincheng felt relieved.In the same way, she can talk to Gao Yang, but she may not be able to talk to Jin Yang. She is sure of her heart, and she knows who Jin Yang's heart is on. The first half of her life.It's not too late now, take your time, they have plenty of time.

It seems that something has been said, but it seems that nothing has been said, the two of them know it well.

One thing Gao Yang was thinking about recently coincided with Wu Meiniang, how to kill the King of Wu, how to frighten the aristocratic family, how to make the clan be more honest, and preserve them as much as possible—preserving the clan was Gao Yang’s idea alone.Wu Meiniang didn't care much.

The Lord Shaoguo suspected that before the emperor grows up and takes charge of the government, he must spend the past ten years in peace without leaving any troubles.The Sui and Li Dynasties died in the Sui Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty lasted for more than [-] years. The two are not the same.Gao Yang felt that this could not be done.

The most important thing is to strengthen the centralization of power.This is very difficult. No matter how hard Taizong spent, he couldn't make the family die, but let them lie dormant for a while.

They are all thinking about this matter, Wu Meiniang is the power in their hands, Gao Yang is the common people in the world, the goals are different, but the process is the same.

Wu Meiniang racked her brains to find an excuse to meet Gao Yang, but she found that it was a very good reason. It was for a serious matter. The stability of the world is a major event. His Highness will definitely come, and it cannot be decided in a few words. His Highness needs to come a lot. This time, it is not something that can be done in a day or two, His Highness needs to keep coming.

Wu Meiniang raised her forehead with her hand, and sighed: "God help me." It was the first time to thank King Wu, and immediately sent someone to call Gao Yang into the palace.

Gao Yang was also thinking about the need to discuss this matter with the Queen Mother, so he came naturally.

Couples who have overlapping careers and a common language can always find a way to meet each other, and they can always develop mutual appreciation and love with further contact.

This is a serious matter, and it is also something she has in mind, Gao Yang has no reason to refuse, so he came.

The place is not in the palace, but in the pavilion in the garden. The spring is beautiful, the flowers are red and the willows are green. One side is short and the two are sitting on couches. Wu Meiniang is wearing a soft dress, kneeling quietly, cooking tea with concentration, waiting for Gao Yang to arrive .

This scene is really refreshing.Gao Yang looked at it from a distance, and felt dizzy for a while. The atmosphere was too soft and warm, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her stop, the palace servants laughed and said, "The Empress Dowager has cooked tea for her. Can Your Highness smell the fragrance?"

Gao Yang smiled at her and said: "It's not good for the Queen Mother to wait for a long time." He moved forward.

When people arrived, Wu Meiniang looked back and smiled slightly: "Are you here?" Taking two celadon cups, the tea poured out from the pot, bursts of fragrance, green leaves floating on the surface of the tea, very elegant.

Gao Yang sat down and said, "Waiting for a long time?"

"I've just arrived too." Wu Meiniang picked up a cup, handed it to her, and lowered her head to taste it. It didn't feel bad, so she showed a relaxed smile, waiting for Gao Yang's reaction.Everyone knows that Gao Yang likes to imitate the southerners to drink tea.She was so happy for her that she specially went to learn this move, the heat, the brown color, and practiced hard for a long time in all aspects.

Things that have been practiced hard can at least convey a kind of sincerity.Gao Yang praised: "Not bad."

Wu Meiniang was very happy when she got the affirmation, she couldn't help but said: "Then you come here often? I..."

Gao Yang interrupted her: "Let's talk about the business."

Wu Meiniang had no choice but to keep her voice shut, and said, "Your Highness will speak first."

Gao Yang didn't give in, it's just the two of them here, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.She said earnestly: "For more than forty years since the dynasty, the clan has numbered hundreds of people. Most of them can stand under the shade of Meng Zu, so there is nothing to fear. Like the king of Wu, he is a minority." I hope Wu Meiniang can show mercy to the clan, Keep her relatives.Moreover, she also has a calculation in her heart, it is inevitable to attack the powerful family, if she harbors malice towards the clan, her reputation will be bad.Even if he wins in the end, it will leave a bad reputation for thousands of years. Gao Yang doesn't want Wu Meiniang to end up like this.

Wu Meiniang listened to her opinion humbly: "Who doesn't want to live a stable life? If they don't cause trouble, I will be kind."

Next, we will talk about how to deal with King Wu.

Wu Meiniang said: "I have the law, the trap has been laid." She paused, looked at Gao Yang and said: "Do you want to know?"

Gao Yang smiled: "You don't have a perfect solution, so you won't say it. Since you have a chance of winning, you don't need to talk to me."

In Wu Meiniang's eyes, she really wanted to get rid of it, and she didn't want to get involved in the details.Wu Meiniang looked at her, put down her cup, and said, "Then let's not talk about it." She changed the topic to another place.

"The plan can't keep up with the changes. However, it is impossible to have no purpose and no direction. The policy remains the same, and the rest can be moved according to the situation." Wu Meiniang said, leaning forward to add tea to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang also meant the same thing, although it was difficult for her to tell Ah Wu apart from each other, some things could be made clear: "Destroy the king of Wu first, then stabilize the court, then suppress the family, and then the world will be settled. This is the reason for the change." out.

Wu Meiniang agrees.
