Xiu Ye and Emperor X

Chapter 73

Li Shimin's refusal was expected by Xiubai.

In the second month, Empress Changsun, with her phoenix body in great peace, took back the palace power, and the imperial concubine gladly presented the phoenix seal. At that time, Erha escorted the head of Dingxiang County to Turkic marriage. In Turkic, the former princess Ashinayan entered the palace as a concubine , Feng Zhaoyi, she was originally Li Jiancheng's side concubine, and she never forgot about the King of Qin.

In the third month, the emperor ordered to build Tianyi Palace in the west of Daming Palace to bestow the eldest son of the emperor. Everyone was shocked. In the fourth month, the emperor ordered to reward the eldest son with a hundred thousand-mile horses. The position must belong to the eldest son of the emperor, but Xiubai knew that it was absolutely not. Li Shimin thought that he had a physical problem, and the position of prince would never fall to him. Pity his father, there is not a single one of the princes below him. It's his own flesh and blood, it's really ridiculous that he actually believed the concubine's words that he was pregnant before his body was injured, maybe he knew it but just didn't want to admit it?

In September of the same year, the prince Li You and Li Zhi rebelled. The fire burned for a whole night, illuminating the entire city of Chang’an. The sky was full of red floating in the sky, dazzling and dazzling. The anti-king was burned to death. Bedridden, the eldest grandson empress holds a phoenix seal in her hand, and bestows on her dead concubine Yin Shi and concubine Ashina Yan. The eldest son of the emperor supervises the country as the eldest son, and serves the emperor's sick bed every day. His filial piety is passed down to the world.

Chang'an is covered with snow in winter, a rare heavy snowfall, auspicious snow heralds a good year, the snowflakes are fluttering but not to the point of causing snow disasters, it is really a good year, red lanterns are hung on the streets and alleys of Chang'an to welcome the new year, the atmosphere in the palace is depressing , The palace people walked in complete silence.The eldest son of the emperor is a ruthless character. On the day when he was forced into the palace, the eldest son of the emperor, who had always been weak, actually killed the two kings with one man and two swords. He was not much worse than General Xu. Too much to say, any person knows the tricks, but he is the eldest son, born of the empress, with the eldest grandson's family behind him, and a group of generals headed by Erha to support him, everyone will wink .

At that time, the Turkic letter of surrender was rushed to Chang'an, followed by the Turkic king who looked like a quail. He remembered that the last time he met the Turkic king, he was not a coward, and there was a gleam of ambition in his eyes. , but at this moment, he is clearly frightened by Erha, shrinking back, showing no momentum, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it in this life.

Xiubai was lazy to do something to appease her, and directly married the princess born by Empress Zhangsun to the new Turkic king, and then killed the new king after the princess became pregnant, and directly made the princess the empress dowager, and there will be more in the future The princess married in the past, but not as a relative, but as a queen, recruiting and so on is too boring, and it will still be reversed in a hundred years, it is better to blend the two countries, a large number of Han people get there, directly exempt tax, encourage intermarriage, and give settling allowances, In addition to the implementation of benevolent government, every princess who marries must be a genuine person with a loyal heart in the world. Therefore, Erha will not be able to come back for a while.

The Daming Palace is extremely spacious, and you can't see the end at a glance. Through the corridor, facing the sky full of wind and snow, the eunuch hurriedly put on an umbrella and headed all the way to the Liangyi Hall. Xiubai walked slowly thinking about what to eat for Empress Changsun at night , then went outside the Liangyi Palace, there was a row of princes kneeling at the gate of the palace, all of them were adults and hadn’t left the palace to become kings, they wanted to see Li Shimin every day, poor thing, the guards outside the Liangyi Palace were heavily guarded, they would see them whenever they wanted?Wait a little longer.

Xiubai went in directly.

There is no wind in Liangyi Hall, the heating fills the room, the veils are heavy, the smell of medicine is strong, and the people inside cannot see the wind.

The low-ranking concubine who was waiting for the disease was secretly wiping tears, sitting on the ground with her head lowered, her blue hair was like a cloud, and a strand of black hair slanted down, revealing her white jade-like neck.Hearing the sound of footsteps, the woman hastily raised her head, panicked and then lowered her head. The momentary sight of her face was enough for him to see clearly. Man, she is really young and makes people feel beautiful.

"What's your name?"

He has some fun.

The woman half-raised her eyes, bit her lips, and bit her pale lips into a glamorous luster: "My servant Wu's Mei Niang..."

Wu Mei Niang?

Xiubai's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile, "But the talented Wu family?"

"Yes……"

This is interesting.

Could it be that she regards herself as Li Zhizhi?

"Why are you crying in front of the emperor?"

"I am grateful for Jun's kindness, and I wish I could replace him..."

After all, her eyes were slightly red, but she didn't even look at the old and sick man on the bed. Her eyes flowed like water, shimmering and shining, and she was about to seduce people's hearts. One can imagine her fate after Li Shiming's death. She is still young, and she still wants to make a fortune, so she is not reconciled to accepting her fate like this. Besides, the succession of the eldest son of the emperor is a certainty, and she has never been close to women. If she If you can succeed, you will be worry-free for the rest of your life.

Xiubai raised the corner of her mouth, her gaze was cold: "In that case, you will be with the emperor for a hundred years."

If he dies, you will be buried!

Wu Meiniang was on the verge of falling, but now she really burst into tears, Xiubai didn't even look at it, and was dragged out, sure enough, it's better to raise a daughter by herself to be the queen.

The daughter-in-law is not very reliable.

The conversation between them fell into Li Shimin's ears early on. The old emperor only hated himself for having these ears. Before he died, his concubine rushed to take the throne?The only consolation is that his son refused.

The old emperor was both sad and happy.

Xiubai helped Li Shimin half sit up, took the medicine, tested the temperature, and fed him slowly with a spoon, carefully.In the blink of an eye, this man who could support him was already very old, with wrinkles around his eyes and age spots on his palms. He suddenly remembered the distant past, and there was also a man who was slowly aging in his eyes. They used to sit on the Looking at the snow and the stars on the roof, there was a kiss once, and there was a little heartbeat. The sad thing is that he can't even blur his appearance now. The only thing he remembers is his eyes, which are sad and warm.

Li Shimin swallowed hard, his eyes were cloudy, looking at Fengshen's handsome son, his voice was hoarse, as if it had been ground on sandpaper: "While I'm still alive, bring me the imperial edict and I'll write it for you."

Xiubai was surprised: "Father?"

Hasn't he always been stubborn and refused to write?

The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth: "I don't care about you anymore. If you have no heirs after you succeed to the throne, you can adopt one of your brothers, but you must not keep your brother anymore. Your heart is hard and soft. I'm going..."

He could attack his brothers unscrupulously, but he was kind to him, the emperor and empress. It was different from when he put Li Yuan under house arrest. He really loved them old fellows.

He should also be relieved.

After thinking about it, Xiubai decided to tell him the cruel truth, none of those children were his own.However, he told Li Shimin that the Tang dynasty would have successors, so the emperor was relieved.

Li Shimin built a summer resort for his father, and Xiubai also built one for his father, and it was built in the palace. Empress Changsun accompanied the old emperor through the last part of her life. At least she is happy to own her husband completely by herself. The concubines of the old emperor, those who have sons follow their sons out of the palace, those who have daughters build a princess mansion outside the palace to serve the concubine, and those who have no children are released from the palace and return home , He even released Wu Meiniang, without Li Zhi, Wu Meiniang would still be Wu Meiniang after all, unable to be the sun and the moon in the sky.

It's just that those princes, it's strange that they only have daughters and no sons in their lives.

In the next year, Xiubai ascended the throne and became Emperor Zhao.

When all the dust settled, the remarried princess over there gave birth to a son, and Xu Ha escorted Dingxiang back. The county lord of Dingxiang walked back and forth, and hadn't married for several years, so Xiubai simply found her in Chang'an. Good family, Princess Feng is married, her life is considered complete, at least she can return to her homeland, and she can serve Concubine Wei with other brothers.

In the next year, the eldest princess who married far away gave birth to twins. Xiubai took the girl back and raised her under the empress dowager's knees as a prince. It's a pity that the Tang royal family has no prince in this generation. If the princess is the crown prince, if she wants the princess to recruit a son-in-law, then the son-in-law is absolutely not allowed to be the emperor, at least the God of Death does not allow it.

In the blink of an eye, 20 years later, Xiubai had gray hair on his sideburns, and so did Erha. They were not young. In the early years, there was a rebellion in the Xiliang Kingdom, and Xiubai suffered a serious illness. Erha was not willing to leave, so Cheng Yao When Jin Yuchi went to battle, he never thought that there would be Xue Rengui in the army, who defeated the enemy army and became the princess' consort of Xiliang. The sad thing is that his wife, Hanyao, who has been guarding for 18 years, is waiting for such a thing.Xiubai asked Erha to destroy the royal city of Xiliang directly, behead the king of Xiliang, get a puppet to take power again, and marry a shrewd and powerful princess who is good at controlling power. Hehe, all the princesses in his family pretended to be princes and brought them up together Then get married, and she will be the proper queen mother in the future.And his patriarch's daughter, that must be the future queen, oh, her name is Li Li, which means that the sun and the moon are in the sky.Speaking of which, those people from the evil Jianghu sect actually wanted to abduct his good girls, and the so-called Daoist Cihang, it is absolutely unforgivable. Master Xiu and Junye single-handedly picked everyone up and forced Cihang's female nuns to return to vulgarity If you don't want to, you can get shaved directly, and sent to a nearby temple to abolish your martial arts so that I can concentrate on chanting scriptures.

Cough, far away.

Xiubai simply let Xue Rengui be Xiliang's son-in-law, and brought the Xiliang princess to settle in Chang'an. The Cheng family's daughters are all good generals, and even the daughters of Zhang Sun's family and Shangguan's family are resourceful and thriving as female officers beside the eldest princess. Why keep Xue Rengui?

As for his wife, she was divorced by Xiubai's decree. It stands to reason that the emperor doesn't care about his courtiers' affairs, but you, a courtier who went to a foreign princess, was ordered by someone else and didn't ask the emperor. The common reason, Wang Baodi pointed out that he was married to his childhood, and a county owner was sealed. As for Xue Rengui, he was about to live after being stunned by Erha and could not take care of himself.

In the 20th year of Tianzhao, the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhao passed on to the throne, retired to the harem as the Supreme Emperor, and died of illness quietly after taking care of her for several years.

At the same time, Xiubai returns with Erha holding two dragon balls.

It was Li Shiming and him.

Returning to their Tang Dynasty, should they propose marriage first or rob people first?

He has to think about it.
