[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 12 Hibernation 2

Li Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he came to his senses, forced a smile to his elder grandson Wuji and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I only keep Sanlang for Concubine Shu. Shisanlang is still young, so Concubine Shu is inevitably worried..."

Concubine Yang Shu's youngest son, Li Fu, is not yet an adult. Although she has a prince, she can't leave Beijing to open a mansion. Her eldest son, King Wu Li Ke, is far away from the fief. Undecided is also a matter of course.

Changsun Wuji doesn't care about these things. In his opinion, Wu Wang Li Ke is a ticking time bomb. In this sensitive period, it is better to let him leave Chang'an.

As for the two relatives and nephews, the eldest grandson Wuji is not too worried...

Chengqian is already a common man, and has been ill for many years. Li Tai has no wings, no voice, no influence, so he is nothing to be afraid of.

On the other hand, the little Jiu'er in front of him has been performing well since he took the throne, which made the eldest grandson Wuji look up to him with admiration...

I just don't know why Xiao Jiu'er hastily sent someone to look for him today?

Just as Changsun Wuji was about to ask Li Zhi why he came here, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had already told Uncle Guo about Chengqian with a look of grief.

"How could this be..." Uncle Changsun mumbled to himself in disbelief with a dazed expression after hearing this: "Dalang just... went..."

"I just got the news, I'm afraid I have to order someone to take my elder brother's coffin to the capital immediately..." Li Zhihong said in a low voice with eyes wide open: "When my father died, I loved my brother very much. Now... now... my father just left. Brother..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaojiu choked up and couldn't speak, tears fell like rolling beads.

Changsun Wuji sighed when he heard the words, and persuaded: "The saint's day is mourning, and for the current plan, we must deal with the funeral ceremony of Duke Zhen..."

"Uncle said yes..." Li Zhi took the veil presented by the waiter Cui, wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice, "I plan to postulate my brother as a prince, do you know if it is appropriate?"

After all, Chengqian was the eldest son of the first emperor and the empress, so it is not too much to say that the affairs of the posthumous family should be more grand.

Changsun Wuji frowned, and after a long silence, he said, "The sage is kind..."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji did not object, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He can become an emperor, the elder brother's success is indispensable!

When his father was alive, he couldn't go back on his word and bring up the 'rebellious' son, so it's the same for him to mention it, even if it's considered a show, what does it matter?

At least his nephews and nieces don't have to live with the heavy name of being a sinner anymore...

-------------------Meet a nun, every bet will lose the dividing line---------------------- -------------------

When His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was struggling to fight for the welfare of his eldest brother and his children, Xiao Wu was thrown into a temple and encountered an unprecedented crisis of chastity.

The temples of this era are no better than the temples and nunneries of the 21st century. If you leave your family, you can still earn [-] a month to marry a wife, marry a Han and give birth to a baby...

In the early Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was very prosperous, and the precepts and regulations became more and more strict.

The monks are mainly begging for alms, supplemented by collecting sesame oil money, and most of them are living on rent if they have real estate, and rarely rely on farming.

However, a certain temple that student Xiao Wu lived in was dedicated to accommodating abandoned concubines in the palace, so it was impossible to go out for alms, and it was impossible to earn living expenses by collecting sesame oil money from tourists.

Therefore, it is very sad that all the old, middle-aged, young and young nuns in the monastery have to support themselves. Except for the meager rations they get from the palace every year, all of them have to rely on self-sufficiency in food and clothing.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and if they want to eat, they have to pound rice first.

Pounding rice is a kind of heavy physical activity that contemporary working women must be able to do.

Its working process is very simple and boring, that is, pour the millet into a huge stone mortar, pound the millet with a pestle until the shell of the millet falls off...

This kind of physical work is simply unimaginable for those nobles in the palace who are used to being pampered...

It is said that when Empress Lu didn't make Madam Qi into a pig, didn't she just let her pound rice every day...

Xiao Wu, a self-proclaimed pure man, had no problem with this kind of simple and rough physical work.It's a pity that her current hardware facilities are really not good enough, and she is too lazy to work and lacks exercise for many years. She can't lift her shoulders or lift her hands.

The first time Wu Xu pounded rice, he held up the wooden pestle and pounded it fifty or sixty times, and his arm became so sore that he couldn't even pound a liter of rice after a whole day...

Although Xiao Wu's grades are already quite good compared to the results of other girls who didn't even pound a plate of rice, she was still extremely depressed.

In the next few days, Wu Xu endured the soreness, and insisted on pounding out a small bucket of rice every day before giving up...

But she reaped the consequences.

A lot of work every day requires a lot of energy to support, and the weight of a certain temple is too heavy, and there is no food, so Xiao Wu, who has been full all day long, tasted hunger for the first time...

It's really inhumane to let a hungry and soft girl do rough work!

Before Wu Xu protested the small portion of the food and asked for extra meals, some girls started arguing...

The troublemaker's surname is Jin, and she was originally a beauty in Yeting Palace. Of course, the reason for her displeasure was not because the food was too small and not enough—in fact, she couldn't eat this kind of food at all—she was dissatisfied. She endured rough work like a village woman, but after working every day with a sore back and sore hands and feet, those nasty old nuns still hated everything, ridiculed her, and even dared to scold her!

Tolerable or unbearable!

Jin Meiren can climb to this point at a young age, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

She knew that she couldn't beat those strong old nuns, and she didn't just use violence, she just got together with a few good girls in private, didn't sleep at night, sneaked to the woodshed to get a hatchet, and ran to the place where the rice was pounded , chopped all the wooden pestles to pieces...

The next day when everyone came to pound rice, they were shocked to see a pile of wood that had been split into firewood sticks...

Now, the rice cannot be pounded...

The meditator who is in charge of the daily work of the nuns is too outrageous.

Roaring to punish the murderer severely!

However, in this age without sky eyes and surveillance, it is very difficult to catch the real murderer.

And these little nuns obviously wanted to see the master joke, so how could they offer clues to the murderer?

"Since no one is willing to take the initiative to take the initiative, don't blame the poor nun for being rude..." Master Jingxin is not a vegetarian...ah no, she is a vegetarian, but she is not some white lotus, but a real villain. bss...

Nobody admits to sabotage, right?

No one volunteered to report it, did they?

Well, let everyone die!

Master Jingxin smiled, showing a pair of white teeth, "Since the wooden pestle is broken, I won't be pounding rice today..."

All the little nuns showed surprise expressions when they heard the words, only Wu Xu stared at Jing Xin vigilantly, thinking, if this old thief nun will show mercy and let everyone go, then the sun will definitely come out from the south...

Sure enough, Jing Xin added with a smile: "The poor nun sees that the firewood is chopped quite well. It happens that there is not much firewood left in the temple, so please go up the mountain to chop some firewood today..."

When everyone heard this, they had different reactions.

Jin Meiren and the others showed obvious expressions of dissatisfaction, but did not speak.

The other little nuns who didn't know the truth silently accepted the work arrangement.

Only Wu Xu was surprised.

In her opinion, Jingxin should have found a difficult task for them to do as a punishment...

Let them chop wood?

Is chopping firewood more difficult than pounding rice?

The answer is yes.

The naive classmate Xiao Wu thought that the mountain of this era is the same as the mountain of the 21st century!As everyone knows, the mountain forest resources have not been over-exploited in the Tang Dynasty, even the small hills next to the townships are full of all kinds of dangerous things...

For example, snakes.

When Beauty Jin was bitten by a snake, Wu Xu happened to be near her and was rescued.

This girl was really unlucky. When passing a bush, she stepped on the tail of Mr. Snake, and was bitten by the calf by the angry Mr. Snake...

Wu Xu was startled when she saw the wound. The area around the very small wound was red, swollen and purple, and the blood that flowed out turned black...

God, it is a poisonous snake that bites the golden beauty! !

Wu Xu had no time to think, and immediately tore a strip of cloth from the hem of her robe, strangled the blood vessels above Jin Meiren's wound, and then squeezed the wound to expel some toxins—according to the plots of novels, movies, and TV dramas, Wu Xiaoxu should have She sucked the poisonous blood from the wound with her mouth, but she didn't dare to be sure about the poisonousness of the snake, she was afraid that if she swallowed it, both of them would die...

After asking Jin Meiren to find out where the snake appeared, Wu Xu carefully observed the surrounding plants and found several detoxifying plants.

Wu Xu picked it immediately, smashed it into mud with clean stones, and applied it to Jinmeiren's wound...

After returning to the monastery, Wu Xu heard that more than one little nun was bitten by a snake, but those people were only bitten by non-poisonous snakes, unlike Jin Meiren, if Wu Xu hadn't rescued them properly, they might have died of poisoning ...

After this incident, Jin Meiren was extremely grateful to Wu Xu, and gradually included Wu Xu in her trusted team...

This is something.

Speaking of returning from the activity of chopping firewood, in addition to the incident where the girl was bitten by a snake, of course there were other major events, such as: running away.

Of course, for those girls who have no plan, no direction, and no physical strength, if their escape operation succeeds, it will be hell!

This time up the mountain, there were four girls who wanted to take the opportunity to run away, two of them were caught on the spot, and one got lost on the mountain all night, then stumbled and ran back to the temple area, and was caught back.The latter one was more unlucky. I didn't choose a good route. Unfortunately, I fell off a rather high cliff, and then there was no more...

Escaping also has technical content =. =
