[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

No.17 Chapter 06

In the spring of the sixth year of Yonghui, during the new year, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu sealed the imperial family again, such as Shilang, Shishilang and other brothers of Li Xiaojiu were crowned princes from the county kings, and added a hundred households, while Sixteen Niang and Twenty-one Niang , 21 Niang and other princesses were crowned as the eldest princess, and there were one hundred more households.

At the same time, Li Zhi also promoted Sun Quan, the husband-in-law of Sixteen Niangs, and Wei Shuyu, the husband-in-law of Twenty-one Niangs, to participate in political affairs.

As for the unmarried young girl 22 Niang, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also found a good match for her. Choose the final candidate.

22 Niang's big wedding was initially scheduled for September of the following year, so in the past two years, the dowry has to be carefully prepared.

In addition to brothers and sisters, several of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's own children were also canonized. The prince Li Xiao, the son of the Zheng family, was named King Xu, and Li Shangjin, the son of the Yang family, was named King Qi.In addition, Wu Xu's two sons, Dalang Li Hong, were named acting kings, and led the governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Bingzhou.

Only the crown prince and Silang Yongwang Sujie were not rewarded. It was not that Li Zhi angered them because of their mothers, but the two were originally crown princes and princes with the highest rank, so they were considered unsealable.

Wu Xu thought that the child was innocent after all, so he asked His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to reward the two with a hundred households each, just like uncles...

Seeing that Wu Xu was so soft-hearted, Li Zhi didn't say anything, but after giving food to his two sons, he took away Li Zhong's position as the shepherd of Yongzhou.

In order not to let old Madam Yu Zhining have any objections, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also specially asked the Ministry of Rituals to take care of this year's Yuanfu ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His attitude towards the prince, who beat the prince with a stick and then gave a sweet date, puzzled the ministers of the court, but people with eyes could see it: the prince, who had lost his biological mother and adoptive mother for several months, was afraid that he would die soon. Expelled from the East Palace...

Facts have proved that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is not so cruel yet, he is still more inclined to get the support of courtiers, especially Changsun Wuji, and justifiably change the establishment of the Central Palace and the Eastern Palace, but his wish is obviously like a daydream...

Cheng Zhijie's army has already rushed to the Western Turks, and the nails secretly sent by Li Zhi have also begun to act. Tang Jun's battle this time can only be a result of failure. The ending was doomed as early as the moment Li Zhi proposed to transfer Cheng Zhijie!

But Li Zhi still has a bit of conscience after all, he has always remembered his uncle's support for him, so he plans to give his uncle one last chance to stand in line - the previous relegation of Pei Xingjian was already his favor to his uncle Warning, if Uncle is still stubborn, he has no choice but to let Uncle retire early!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Yonghui, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu held a banquet for all the ministers, rewarding the former ministers of Zhenguan, and emphatically praised the eldest grandson Xianggong and Li Xianggong, hoping that they would continue to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Wu Zhaoyi went out of the palace in modest clothes and visited Duke Zhao's mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji brought his wife and nine children to welcome him.

"The old minister respectfully welcomes the sage, and the lady is lucky..." Li Zhi's departure from the palace was quite sudden this time, and Changsun Wuji was a little confused about the reason for his visit for a while.

Speaking of which, in the past, His Majesty Li Er often went out of the palace to inspect the residences of ministers and royal relatives staying in Beijing, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was more like an otaku. Apart from going to the palace twice a year to spend the summer and winter according to the old rule, he rarely stayed in Chang'an City. dangling.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji was at a loss, and what made him even more puzzled was that this time the saint came to his house with his female relatives...

Coincidentally, today is the birthday of Changsun Wuji's concubine, Yueniang, and there is a banquet in the mansion.

As soon as Li Xiaojiu's chariot arrived, all the guests in the house were alarmed.

For a while, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was helped out of the chariot by the king's servant, and without waiting for Awei and others to move, he personally helped Wu Xu who came out from behind to get off the chariot.

Wu Xu didn't wear a veiled hat to cover her face when she went out today, her hair was tied up in a high bun with black silk, and although there were not many hairpin rings adorned on it, they were all very gorgeous and eye-catching. Everything is priceless...

But no matter how dazzling those jewels are, it's hard to ignore her radiant face...

The noble ladies who came out together to greet Shengjia couldn't help but secretly gasp when they saw such a beauty...

Wu Xu seldom showed up among nobles of aristocratic families, and after entering the palace for the second time, she never entertained the female relatives of her clan and aristocratic families, so the aristocratic circles in Chang'an only heard of Wu Zhaoyi's name but few people saw her real face ...

"Is this lady..."

"It must be! Don't you think she looks a bit like Mrs. Zhou Guo!"

"I used to say that Mrs. Zhou Guo is very beautiful, but now I know... you are indeed a mother and daughter!"

"It's no wonder the saint is so beautiful..."

………………

Already several noble ladies couldn't bear to start whispering.

Changsun Wuji's wife had never seen Wu Xu before. She thought that the concubine brought out by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu should be the highest-ranking concubine Xu Xian in the palace. She was about to go to see her when she suddenly heard the whispers of those noble ladies. I froze halfway, in a dilemma.

On the other hand, Wu Xu saw Mrs. Changsun, took the initiative to step forward, and said with a smile, "This is my aunt, right?" She turned to ask Li Zhi as she spoke.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Exactly..." He also took a step forward, took Wu Xu's hand, and said to Uncle Changsun's family: "They are all relatives of our own family, you don't need to be polite..."

"Awu, come... let me introduce you, this is Wuniang (referring to Princess Changle)'s husband-in-law, this is the second cousin, this is..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu introduced Wu Xu Uncle Changsun's family.

Wu Xu was dragged by Li Zhi all the way to recognize his relatives, her face was stiff with laughter.

To be honest, today she originally wanted to visit her secret glass workshop, but as soon as she went out, Li Xiaojiu dragged her to her grandson's uncle's house, and was forced to play a disguise game in the car ==

It is said that she is not interested in the members of the eldest grandson's family at all...

Moreover, she didn't think that Li Xiaojiu's overtures could change Uncle Changsun's mind, especially since he brought her along...

These days, she didn't know what she was scolded by the eldest grandson's family for the matter of becoming a queen!

Running here with such a big thorn, isn't it just asking for fun? ==

Even though she thought so in her heart, Wu Xu still showed pride to Li Xiaojiu in front of outsiders, and she was even ready to be scolded by her eldest grandson...

However, looking at the situation in front of him, in front of so many people, the eldest grandson probably has to be like her, to give His Majesty Li Xiaojiu a face!

Sure enough, when Changsun Wuji saw that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had brought Wu Zhaoyi, his face darkened immediately, but he was very kind, and he didn't bother Wu Xu immediately, but invited the two of them to sit in the inner hall.

Today is the birthday of the eldest grandson's concubine, and the concubine is the protagonist, but Wu Xu looked around and saw a pretty young woman in red standing in the corner of the chairman, if she was not dressed so festively , it is estimated that it will be ignored directly.

The people sitting in the lobby are all the senior officials of the court, Han Yuan, Lai Ji and others were impressively present.

Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but exchanged glances with Wu Xu.

Well, what kind of birthday party is this? It's just a small morning party!

After entering the inner hall, Changsun Wuji and his wife gave up their seats to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu, and the young woman in red simply shunned to the back room.

All the people at the host's table were members of the eldest grandson's family, and Liu Niang and his wife came in last.

Princess Chengyang has some kind of friendship with Wu Xu, so she took the initiative to sit beside her as a companion.

"A Wu is such a rare visitor..." Princess Chengyang looked very good, and she was full of happiness in every frown and smile. She was no longer the gentle and taciturn little princess in Wu Xu's memory.

"Liu Niang hasn't entered the palace for a long time, what are you up to lately?" Seeing that Li Zhi had chatted with Uncle Changsun and didn't have time to pay attention to her side, Wu Xu smiled and took Princess Chengyang's hand and began to do it. homely.

"What else can I be busy with, those two boys at home are enough for me!" Although Princess Chengyang said this, her face was full of smiles.

After she married Changsun Quan, she gave birth to a daughter and two boys within a few years.The daughter is very cute and cute, but the two boys don't know who they look like, jumping up and down all day long, like a monkey, I don't know who they look like, but Princess Chengyang and his wife are so worried...

"It's better for a boy to be lively!" Wu Xu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words. She had heard that Changsun Quan was very serious, and someone in the court even gave him a nickname like "coffin face". The docile Princess Chengyang gave birth to such a lively baby, could it be a genetic mutation? !

When it comes to children, Wu Xu inevitably thinks of her own son. Da Lang's temperament is quite stable, but her family's second fat makes her not know how to describe it. I hope it will not grow crooked in the future...

While speaking, Mrs. Changsun had already brought out several young children from the inner room to meet Li Zhi and Wu Xu.

Seeing that the four little dolls were all about the same age as her eldest son, Wu Xu was delighted to see Lie Xin, and went forward to pick up the only doll among the four, and rubbed her...

"This is Twelve Niangs, who just turned three years old this year..." Princess Chengyang introduced from the side: "Those three are Eight Lang, Jiu Lang, and Shi Lang..."

When Wu Xu heard about this ranking, he couldn't help but sweat, he couldn't see that his eldest grandson was quite capable of giving birth ==

And Li Zhi was playing Tai Chi with his uncle, and the topic happened to fall on Uncle Changsun's older sons.

"Several cousins ​​have also married and established businesses. It's time to enter the court to help my uncle share his worries..."

But Changsun Wuji didn't think so: "A dog is useless, it's a great fortune to be a magistrate of a county, how can he have the ability to enter the court as an official! It's better to be white, so as not to cause disasters!"

"Uncle is too modest..." Li Zhi took a sip of his drink, and tentatively said, "It's my relatives after all, I want my second cousin, third cousin, and fourth cousin to be Chaosan doctors first, and then slow down later." It's just a slow promotion..."

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he remained silent for a long time.

His own son knows that except for the eldest son, Sun Chong, who has a little bit of talent, the other adult sons are mediocre people. As he said, it is okay to be a county magistrate. Big and small foxes are together, and [-]% of them will be eaten until there is no scum left!

Moreover, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is suddenly so generous today, he must ask for something, he is not rewarded for nothing!

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to refuse, but he heard that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had sent the royal servant back to the palace to deliver the imperial edict, secretly conferring on the third son of the eldest grandson Xianggong as Chaosan doctor, and he could go to work after the spring break...

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips...

Li Zhi smiled and offered a glass of wine to Uncle Changsun, and said meaningfully: "These cousins ​​are all promising, and from now on Uncle can enjoy the family relationship in peace, and let the young people do everything in the future. The future world will be dominated by young people..."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he frowned and remained silent, and after a while he spoke to the left and right and said, "It's rare for a saint to come out of the palace, how about enjoying the kabuki at the old minister's mansion?"

"That's good." As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he knew that his uncle didn't intend to accept the olive branch he handed over, so...

You can only see the real chapter in the court!

The author has something to say: The nephew and uncle have completely broken up, Xiao Jiu is going to make a move =. =
