[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 15 Fisherman 1

When Wang's servant heard Wu Xu's blunt words, he was stunned.

Wu Xu bypassed him and went straight into the hall.

The king's servant hurriedly bowed and followed, but this time there was a hint of awe on his face.

People in this world have different desires, but people can't tell

Li Zhi probably didn't expect Wu Xu to come to him, and there was a ruthless look on his face before he even had time to restrain himself.

"Meiniang, why are you here?" Li Zhi touched his face unnaturally, and got up to meet Wu Xu.

"I heard from Xiao Shunzi that you didn't even eat breakfast, saint. You have been busy until now, so you made some refreshments..." Wu Xu just pretended not to see Li Xiaojiu's stiff expression, and with a smile on his face, he brought the refreshments to Li Zhi himself. In front of the small table.

"It's hard to bother you..." Li Zhi forced a smile when he heard the words, and said to Wang's servant and others: "You all step back first..."

Everyone hurriedly bowed and exited the hall, and closed the door intimately.

Seeing that Li Xiaojiu still had a forced smile on his face, Wu Xu couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his cheek, feigning anger, and said, "What's the matter? You look reluctant? Don't tell me you're starting to dislike the old lady now? "

"Puff, cough, cough..." Li Zhi couldn't help bursting out laughing when he heard this.

"Awu, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"You and I will always be young and beautiful in our hearts, and there will never be a day of old age..."

Li Zhi held Wu Xu's hand and said seriously: "I'm still worried that you think I'm too young..."

"Come on, don't be glib, why are you upset, tell me..." Wu Xu sat sideways beside Li Zhi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are many people and many thoughts, what troubles do you have, tell me and I will explain it to you." For details..."

Li Zhi sighed, pulled Wu Xuquan into his arms, and said slowly: "Actually...it's not a big deal...I just heard my uncle say that my uncle passed away unfortunately on the way to Xiangzhou. ..." When Li Zhi said this, his eyes sparkled, and his voice was a little choked up.

"Jiulang, let's be sad..." Wu Xu couldn't help touching Li Zhi's ears and cheeks, comforting him.

Wu Xu had met this famous clan general in ten years of Zhenguan, and she was very curious that he could raise such a famous daughter as Princess Wencheng.

Back then, Wu Xu had heard a lot about this prince.

Speaking of which, Li Daozong not only has Li Shimin's favor, but also has a lot of relationship with Li Xiaojiu.

His Majesty Li Er fought to the death with his own brother when he was alive, and he was merciless in killing.On the contrary, he was very kind to Li Daozong, his cousin.

And Li Daozong also followed His Majesty Li Er from the age of 18 to conquer the east and west, and made great contributions to the establishment of Li Tang and the throne of Li Shimin.If Changsun Wuji is the adviser of His Majesty Li Er, then Li Daozong is His Majesty Li Er's escort general. From the point of view of relatives, he is His Majesty Li Er's cousin, no worse than Changsun Wuji, the brother-in-law!

Li Zhi was in poor health when he was a child, and he learned riding and archery from Li Daozong for a long time.Later, Li Daozong was named Minister of the Ministry of Rites, King of Jiangxia County, and only Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County with outstanding military exploits, received such high-standard treatment in the clan.

But Li Daozong was worried about his meritorious deeds, so he deliberately committed the crime of embezzlement. He was cut off from his official position and food, and only kept the king.It was not until the 13th year of Zhenguan that Li Daozong was restored as the governor of Jinzhou.

In the later years of His Majesty Li Er, Li Daozong went to war frequently, and even accompanied Taizong on the expedition to Goryeo.

Li Zhi liked this courteous uncle very much.

In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong begged to retire due to illness, and Li Zhizheng was in charge of the country, and after hearing the news, he repeatedly persuaded him to stay.

But Li Daozong told Li Zhidao privately that he and Changsun Wuji disagreed with each other in politics. In order to avoid embarrassment for His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince in the future, it is better to retire earlier...

Li Zhi had no choice but to tell his father Li Daozong's original words.

His Majesty Li Er has been silent for a long time. Although he disagrees with Li Daozong's resignation, he transferred him to the idle position Taichangqing...

When Li Zhi came to the throne, Li Daozong, like Li Ji, was awarded the special post of military official, and he still did not participate in political affairs...

However, Li Daozong's step-by-step retreat did not save him from bad luck. A generation of famous generals died tragically on the way to exile. How can it not be embarrassing...

Wu Xu knew that Li Zhi was sad, not only because of Li Daozong's affairs, but probably because he didn't understand why his uncle, grandson Wuji, was so ruthless...

"I know that they are innocent, but I can't even say a word..." Li Zhi hugged Wu Xu tightly, and buried his head in Wu Xu's neck, preventing her from seeing his expression.

Wu Xu couldn't help stroking Li Xiaojiu's back, and said calmly: "Nine out of ten people who are unhappy in life, as long as the saint can remember King Jiangxia. It's hard to say what will happen in the future..."

Li Zhi didn't speak, and after a long while, he gave a low 'hmm', obviously letting go of his thoughts.

Wu Xu couldn't help but pat Li Xiaojiu on the back hard, and said, "Okay, young people should be a little bit more energetic~~~~ Come on, come on, give me a smile~~~~~"

Li Zhi let go of Wu Xu with a black face, turned his head and grabbed the snack in front of him and gnawed it.

Wu Xu also sat down next to Li Zhi, and seeing that the goat milk in the jar was not too hot, she stopped Li Zhi, "Don't drink it, it's cold, it smells strange..."

At the same time, he loudly called the guards outside the palace to come in.

As a result, Wang's servant ran in personally.

Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said very politely: "Please ask Wang Weng to bring you a meal for the saint..."

"Yes." Wang's servant hurriedly agreed.

"Two... two servings." Reluctantly swallowing the snack, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu made a 'V' gesture, indicating that he would prepare another serving for Wu Xu.

Wang Neishi understood, hurriedly agreed, and retreated in Jiji.

Seeing that Li Xiaojiu was choking uncomfortably, Wu Xu hurriedly poured him a bowl of water from the kettle.

"Eat slowly... No matter how busy things are in the future, you must remember to eat. The body is the capital of the revolution..."

"Revolution?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"Okay, okay...don't worry about the revolution or not, your body is important!" Wu Xu hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's okay to have the elder grandson to take charge of the government affairs. I remember the late emperor for you. Elder Sun Xianggong and Chu Xianggong are not the only ones who choose assistant ministers, so don't favor one over the other..."

Wu Xu hinted that Li Zhi understood it very quickly. Although everyone in the court is intimidated by the authority of Changsun Wuji, there is still one person who can completely compete with him, but that person is always wise and wise, and refuses to stand out...

It seems that he has to find a way to push that person...

Seeing Li Zhi's thoughtful expression, Wu Xu couldn't help but nodded.

The art of imperial court is broad and profound...

In April of the fourth year of Yonghui, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an imperial edict to grant Jiangzhou Governor, Xu Wang Li Yuanli as Situ, Kaifu Yitong Third Division, and British company Li Ji as Sikong.

Later, on the anniversary of the late emperor's death in June, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu paid homage to the Ancestral Temple and Zhaoling Mausoleum as usual, and went to Lingyan Pavilion to see the portraits of the 24 heroes. After seeing the British Duke Li Ji, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu expressed that he would honor him. portrait, and wrote the preface himself.

Afterwards, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu summoned Li Ji several times in Liangyi Hall, reminisced about the past when Li Ji was a member of the Eastern Palace, recalled Taizong's original intention to promote him, and reminded him of his responsibility.

"At the age of Qiwan, the previous court specially appointed the public, so I know the wisdom of the philosopher, and I place great importance on it!"

"The old minister is terrified." Li Ji was really terrified this time.

In the early years of Yonghui, he resolutely refused to accept Zuo Pushe's official position. In fact, he was unwilling to confront Changsun Wuji.Now that the sage suddenly promoted him vigorously, how could he not know Sima Zhao's heart!

But Li Ji could only pretend to be confused.

"The sage has great love for the old minister, and the old minister will die forever. This portrait of the hero..." Wouldn't it be against his low-key style to decorate only his portrait alone?

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi's words of praise to Li Ji seemed to be free of money.

Li Ji was about to break out in a cold sweat.

What is "only the public", where is the sage going to put the eldest grandson, the chief assistant?

Fortunately, in such occasions where important ministers are summoned in private, only Qi Jilang will write down His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's words, and it will not reach the ears of the grandson Xianggong for a while.

However, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu obviously wouldn't be satisfied with sending a friendly signal to Li Ji alone.

Under Wu Xu's reminder, Li Zhi made another important speech in the court one day, hoping that the ministers of the court would be loyal to their duties and speak freely, and don't let him, a saint, be like a puppet every time he goes to court, and he doesn't have to say anything in the court , do nothing.

Is the world really so stable that there are no speakers? !

Or, don't the ministers even want to tell the truth to him, a saint? !

The courtiers were stunned by the young sage's fierce questioning, but that day the grandson Xianggong did not go to court due to illness, and all civil and military officials looked at each other without daring to speak.

I don't know if the Taiwei's mansion will be trampled down after the imperial court.

The situation in the court is unpredictable, and the harem is also in trouble again.

Since Li Zhong, the eldest son of the emperor, was canonized as the East Palace, the authority in the Queen's Palace has also gradually increased. She followed the suggestion of her mother, Mrs. Liu of Wei Guo, while continuing to win over Wu Xu, while vigorously promoting herself. In front of Zhizhi, please seal them up, either as beauties, or as talents, trying to continue to share the favor of Concubine Xiao Shu.

But Concubine Xiao Shu is not a vegetarian, and she has been in the harem for many years. She tried her best to win over Xu Jieyu, Zheng Jieyu and others, and also asked His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to seal her.

On the contrary, Liu Jieyu, the biological mother of the prince, was thrown aside by the people on both sides and became an invisible person. Later, Wu Xu reminded Li Zhi, and Li Zhi remembered this person.

After Wu Xu's son was canonized as Zhaoyi, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu once again promoted the concubines in the harem collectively. Step up one level.

Now, the fact that Wu Xu jumped several grades from a talented person to Zhaoyi is no longer conspicuous. On the contrary, Concubine Xiao Shu became Concubine Xiao, whose status was close to that of Queen Wang, and was once again pushed to the forefront.

The author has something to say: Gong Dou, Xiao Wu is really not good at it =. =
