[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 04

After the Hairen prince lost his military power, he was once very angry. Those civil and military officials who were close to him were hit to varying degrees. That's fine. Even his favorite half-brother was assassinated for no reason, and his elder brother didn't even hear about it. Do not ask……

The exasperated Prince Hairen didn't even realize that his elder brother was wary of him, so he rushed into the Otsu Palace, yelled at the new emperor, violently destroyed a small table, and lost a spear...

King Ge Cheng (the real name of the eldest brother and prince Zhong) doesn’t know if he still has feelings for his younger brother, or because he feels a little guilty because of the recent violent attack on the Hairen people, but he didn’t pursue the murderous actions of the Hairen prince at all. He also sent his confidant minister Su Wo Anmaru to comfort his younger brother, saying that even if he cannot be established as the emperor's younger brother, he will not suffer. The removal of his military power is just to prevent him from being jealous blabla...

After all, the Su Wo family has been in charge of the government for many years in the Japanese dynasty, just like those big families in China, there have been many capable people for a hundred years, even if all the Su Wo family was wiped out because of Su Wo's entry into the deer, the Su Wo family did not Zhi's civil and military ministers still occupy an important position in the court.

This Suwo Anmaru is one of the Suwo clan who took refuge in King Gecheng earlier, and he has a very good relationship with the prince of Hairen, so this time he went out to comfort the prince of Hairen, in addition to conveying King Gecheng's comfort In addition to meaning, he also privately persuaded the Hairen prince to be patient.

After all, the prince of Hairen is not a reckless person. He calmed down after hearing Suga Anmaro's words.

In order to show his surrender to his elder brother, he offered to convert to Buddhism, and betrothed his beloved daughter, Princess Shishi, to Prince Otomo as his concubine.

King Ge Cheng was very happy to see his younger brother subdued, and immediately betrothed his most beloved daughter, Princess Luye Zanliang, to Prince Hairen as his wife to show his favor.Before, King Ge Cheng married his two daughters, Princess Datian and Princess Oe, to his younger brother, Prince Hairen as side concubines. Now that he has added Princess Luye Zanliang, the backyard of Prince Hairen's house is all his brother's. girls...

What's more interesting is that the princess Ota, who has already given birth to the prince Hairen, is also the same mother and sister of Princess Luno Sanliang, but the younger sister who entered the door later became the main concubine. This relationship is quite messy!

Wu Xu, who was far away in Chang'an, heard that the pair of supreme brothers from the Wa country had reconciled again, and couldn't help sighing: It seems that Little Japan's life is not exhausted...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu smiled sinisterly, and said: "As long as the Japanese king dies, the Japanese country will be in chaos!"

Is not this nonsensical!

Today's Crown Prince of the Wa Kingdom is still a baby, and his uncle is young, strong and popular. If King Ge Cheng died suddenly, it would be strange if there was no chaos!

But the problem is that King Ge Cheng is only in his early thirties this year, how could he die suddenly? !

Wu Xu couldn't help giving Li Zhi a blank look: "Could it be possible that a saint wants to send someone to assassinate the Japanese king?"

To do such a high-cost thing, it is better to continue to provoke the relationship between the two brothers, it is best to force the prince of Hairen to rebel or something, that would be fine...

No, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu smiled mysteriously, and said: "Assassination? No, no, no...the Japanese king has died soon, so why dirty my Tang Dynasty's hands~~~~"

Wu Xu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, and looked at Li Xiaojiu like a magic stick, "How do you know?"

"Ah Wu, do you still remember, that day when the Qin Tianjian calculated the time for enshrining Zen, the supervisor Li Chunfeng once said that there is a big star in the east that is dim and crumbling, and seems to be falling, even if it recovers in the future, it will not last long. And last year Taibai appeared in the Eastern Heaven, and there is a sign of disaster and chaos..."

"At that time, the prince of the Japanese kingdom was seriously ill, which coincided with this omen..."

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help sighing when he said this: "The king of the Japanese kingdom is quite capable, it's a pity..." There was a bit of regret in the tone, as if it was rare to meet an opponent, but the character of the opponent was too bad. Hang up halfway!

Wu Xu: "..."

She remembered that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was obviously an atheist, so why did he believe so much in the words of the gods of the Qin Tianjian now?

And that guy named Li Chunfeng, why does she feel so familiar?

Before classmate Xiao Wu could figure out the twists and turns, Li Xiaojiu had already walked towards the inner hall with her arms around her, "Okay, okay... Ah Wu, don't think too much about it, when the new palace is built, the people from Japan I've run out of energy, and it's time to offer prisoners in Xingong..."

Wu Xu became happy when she heard this, and thinking that this year she and Li Xiaojiu will go to visit the four newly established escort capitals in order this year. Just let Xue Rengui and the others keep an eye on the Japanese country. =

In the spring of the fifth year of Xianqing, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an edict to hold a Yuanfu ceremony for the crown prince Li Hong, amnesty for the world, and the descendants of the five ranks of civil and military ranks will be their fathers and grandparents, and the latter will be added as a rank of honor officer, and they will die for three days.

After Yuanfu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer live in his Aniang Palace, and must move to the East Palace to live with the officials of the East Palace.Although Wu Xu was not very willing, she could only compromise under Li Xiaojiu's tricks.

In order to celebrate the crown prince's move to the palace, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu specially held a grand banquet in the East Palace. All civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital gathered to congratulate the banquet, and the clansmen and officials of the feudal states also sent envoys to Chang'an to present Congratulations.

As the cousin of His Royal Highness, Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi's classmate also rushed back from the place and presented a big gift.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the salute, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu began to prepare for the tour of the four accompanying capitals.

The first stop is Luoyang, the eastern capital, every year, and there is no need to make special preparations, but the prince who stays in Chang'an Jianguo needs to make good arrangements.This is the first time for His Royal Highness to supervise the country, and the matter is of great importance. Not only His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is very concerned, but even Wu Xu is worried about checking the officials who stayed in Chang'an to assist Li Hong over and over again...

Because Li Sanlang was still hunting on behalf of the sky in the local area, there was one less person in the East Palace who could advise the prince. Li Xiaojiu specially promoted Ren Yaxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Chengqing, Minister of Duzhi, to serve as political advisors and assist the East Palace. The servant Xu Yushi served as the school servant, specializing in helping the prince with clerical affairs.

Wu Xu was still worried, and promoted Lang Shangguanyi, a scholar and secretary of Chongwenguan, to be the Minister of Zhongshu, and together with Master Xu Yu, he assisted the prince.

After the civil servants had no problem, Wu Xu chose another thirty bodyguards selected from the Habayashi guards as the prince's personal soldiers, who were only controlled by the prince.

That's it, Wu Xu was still worried, but Li Xian came to her specially and said with a mature face that he would stay in Chang'an to help his brother.

Wu Xu looked at Xiao Erlang who was still five-headed with embarrassment, and was speechless for a while...

Mrs. Yang was overjoyed, and praised repeatedly: "Erlang is really sensible."

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was sitting by the side and kept silent, also smiled when he heard the words.

Wu Xu's family's Erlang is so serious, it's not easy to discourage his enthusiasm. Originally, she wanted to take Erlang and Saburo to travel at public expense, and only Dalang was left in Chang'an. Now...

In other words, it is really inhumane to leave only a minor child like Li Hong to work at home. =

It's good to have Erlang stay with Dalang. Although Erlang has just started studying government affairs, he can't help Dalang much in official affairs, at least in terms of copying and writing, this kid is still very useful!

Moreover, this is also a very rare opportunity. Not only Dalang can get an internship opportunity, but even Erlang can take the opportunity to observe how the empire's administrative affairs are handled!

The most important thing is that staying with Erlang can also prevent Dalang from having the bad feeling of being 'abandoned' by his parents or that his parents favor his younger brother, and avoid repeating the mistakes of Chengqian back then!

After arranging the affairs in Chang'an, and making sure that little Li Hong didn't have any discomfort, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu took his wife and youngest son and set off soon.

Since Luoyang has been designated as the companion capital, the administrative rank has also been raised by one level. After His Majesty Li Xiaojiu arrived in Luoyang, he immediately issued a decree to raise the ranks of all officials in Luozhou, and the administrative system should be compared with that of Yongzhou.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also ordered skilled craftsmen to build a new palace on the basis of the original royal palace, which was initially named "Baguan Palace".

After staying in Luoyang for about a month, Shengjia set off for Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is the land of Li Tang's Longxing, and it is also the ancestral home of Awu himself. Now Taiyuan has been newly designated as the northern capital, so visiting Bingzhou is also the top priority of this tour plan.

When Han Gaozu became emperor, he returned to his hometown to show off. Now that Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu return to Bingzhou, they also mean to return to Jia En's hometown in good clothes.

It was already April when Shengjia arrived in Bingzhou, and even though it was still a bit chilly, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the elders in Bingzhou.As soon as the emperor's car arrived outside the city of Bingzhou, it was welcomed by thousands of people in Bingzhou.

When Li Zhi was the King of Jin, he was the governor of Bingzhou, and he has always been very concerned about this land. When his father went to the east, he came to Bingzhou once as the prince.Now that he stepped on this land again, he was already the emperor, which made Li Zhi very excited.

On the first day of arriving in Bingzhou, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu went straight to Li's ancestral hall, paid homage to Li's ancestors, and inspected Li's ancestral house.

In the next few days, Li Zhi and Wu Xu split up. His Majesty the Emperor was in charge of offering sacrifices to the old residence of the Emperor Gaozu and the soldiers who died in the Taiyuan First Uprising.

In view of the fact that Bingzhou is also the hometown of the Queen of Heaven, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu specially issued a decree to bestow the Governor Shi, Sima and other officials with a level of honor, and to grant women over 80 years old in Bingzhou the fifth-rank county monarchs. This is an unprecedented gift.For the rest, tax reductions, corvees, and rewards of gold and silk are various.

Everyone in Bingzhou understood that His Majesty the Emperor was making a face for the Queen of Heaven, so there was such a generous gift, so they were even more grateful to the Queen of Heaven.

After staying in Bingzhou for nearly a month, Shengjia was about to turn south and go to Guangling for inspection, but an urgent report came from Chang'an, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill and had a high fever...

When Li Zhi and Wu Xu heard the news, they felt as if their hearts were being pierced. They immediately decided to stop the tour plan and drive back to Luan.

The author has something to say: Classmate Dalang suffers weakly...
