[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 22

In November of the sixth year of Xianqing, Shengjia set off from Guangling, the southern capital, and arrived at the Taishan Palace.

At the same time, all the vassal states and neighboring countries under the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to watch the ceremony, and the vassal kings and concubines from all over the Tang Dynasty even traveled thousands of miles to Mount Tai to participate in the ceremony.

When His Majesty Li Er was alive, he wanted to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai several times, even repairing the palace, but due to various reasons, he didn't make it once.

And after Li Xiaojiu came to the throne, no one thought that his merits could surpass that of his father. At most, they thought that it would be good for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to be the king of the city, let alone Feng Chan!

To the surprise of the world, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu not only kept the throne that fell to him unexpectedly, but also accomplished a great cause that his father never managed to accomplish in less than ten years.

Destroy the Turks, pacify Korea, and defeat the Japanese country...

Each one is a peerless martial art that shocks the world and will last forever...

Today, the Great Tang has no strong neighbors in the east, and the land stretches for thousands of miles. Tens of thousands of nations come to court, and its reputation is outstanding. It deserves to be the largest empire in the world!

Such a great achievement, even if Emperor Qin and Han Wu were reborn, they would have to take a step back.

Therefore, when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu proposed to enshrine Zen, not half of the censors jumped out to oppose it, and even the people of the country were eager to support it.

This result is completely different from the scene when His Majesty Li Er proposed to enshrine Zen!

While Li Zhi was proud, he did not forget the credit of his wife, so during this trip to Mount Tai, after confirming that Wu Xu's body was correct, Li Zhi resolutely changed the old rules of the emperors of all ages enshrining Zen, and put Yaxian, which was supposed to be executed by important officials of the court, was instead executed by the empress.

Since ancient times, the highlight of the Fengchan Grand Ceremony has been offering sacrifices to the emperor and the queen. Generally, the emperor first offered sacrifices to the Haotian God and the previous emperors, and the ministers and ministers offered sacrifices to the queens and queen mothers.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu said that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the land should be enjoyed by the queen mother, to demonstrate the virtues of the later land, and to let the public servants be the sub-officials. There is a difference between men and women, and it is very inappropriate.

In addition, it was supposed to be the final offering presided over by the late emperor's concubines, but it was the concubine Yan of the Yue Kingdom who came forward, not the concubine Wei who was currently the most respected in the late emperor's dynasty.

The intention of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's series of actions is too obvious, that is, to uplift the status of Empress Wu Xu, and even to favor her relatives.

The civil and military officials who came to Fengchan were already able to ignore all the unusual favors received by the Queen of Heaven when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an edict to call the Emperor and Empress the "Second Sage". It is reasonable at all!

There were one or two vassal princes who had some complaints about the arrangement of the hall, but they did not dare to say anything in front of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu because of Wu Xu's vicious reputation. for a long time.

Concubine Wei is such a wise woman, she just laughed it off when she heard the harsh words from a group of clansmen, and turned her head to the palace to visit the pregnant Tianhou lady, she didn't show any strangeness at all.

Wu Xu had long heard the news that those clans came to Wei Taifei to instigate her. Seeing that Wei Taifei still treated her as usual, she couldn't help secretly praising Wei Taifei for her grandeur.

After the Conferment Ceremony, Wu Xu specially wrote to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, congratulating the success of the Conferment Ceremony, and requesting conferrals for all officials and feudal vassals.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu readily agreed, and immediately issued an edict to amnesty the world.

Not only the civil and military officials were added to the rank of nobility, but the clan and royal relatives each added a hundred households.

This time's reward is a rare big deal!

Since the meaning of reward was initiated by Tianhou, all civil and military officials and most of the clansmen were very grateful to Wu Xu.

However, I am afraid that some people who have a deep prejudice against Wu Xu must be excluded.

For example, the descendants of the Wu brothers and the younger brothers of His Majesty Li Er...

Because of Wu Xu, the Queen of Heaven, the Wu clan has been promoted from a nouveau riche clan to the first-class family in the Tang Dynasty in vain. This is a supreme honor.

However, because the Yang family hated the Wu family, Wu Xu did not show much favor to the Wu family, so Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, who were dispatched to Lingnan, were not pardoned and returned home.

And the younger brothers of His Majesty Li Er, who were not doing well under the second elder brother's command, finally changed their nephews to be in charge, and were frightened by the vicious methods of the eldest grandson Wuji!

It was not easy for the eldest grandson Wuji to be killed by his nephew. The most beautiful people in the court are not their uncles, but the Wu family from a nouveau riche family, and the poor young people she promoted...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't pay much attention to these uncles who relied on the old to sell the old, and directly promoted the highest position in the clan, Xu Wang Li Yuanli, to the post of Situ, and finally everyone dared not make noise.

After awarding all the officials and clan relatives, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu bestowed his brothers, sisters and sons as usual.

Among the sons of His Majesty Li Er, only Qilang Jiang Wang Li Yun (son of Wang Taipin), Balang Yue Wang Li Zhen (son of Yan Taifei) and Shilang Ji Wang Li Shen (son of Wei Taifei) are still living on the title of prince. ) only.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu did not treat them badly, and named one of their sons as county kings.

As for the sisters, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu always valued them very much. For example, the son-in-laws such as the Changsun family, the Wei family, and the Xue family all rose by at least one rank in the previous clan rankings because of the Lord Shang.

This time, Li Xiaojiu chose a son from each of the princesses to be the Marquis, and entered the East Palace as a servant.

This move is very similar to the big boat that His Majesty Li Er 'kidnapped' the son of an important minister in the court to go to the East Palace, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's move is obviously more gentle, and the clan members obviously prefer His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's promotion The practice of my own children!

And Li Xian, who won the heart of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu for assisting the prince in governing, was renamed King Pei by his father, and then took the titles of Youzhou Governor and Zuowuhou General, and the previous positions of state pastor and other positions remained unchanged .

Li Xian, the king of Zhou, was rewarded for his meritorious service in entertaining his mother because of Cheng Huan Wu Xu's knees. He was ordered by his father to be the governor of Luozhou, and he controlled the military power of the Eastern Capital at a young age.

This treatment is much better than that of his second brother Li Xian. Although Erlang is the shepherd of Yongzhou in name, the military power is still in the hands of his cousin Wu Min!

The military power of Xiao Saburo is really in the hands of his parents Shi!

Wu Xu heard that Li Xiaojiu had given such an important position to her own toothless child, and she couldn't laugh or cry. Thinking about how Li Xiaojiu received Bingzhou when she was less than three years old, she was relieved...

As for the other sons of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, Li Zhi didn't express much at first, but Wu Xu couldn't help telling him in private that even if he favors her sons, don't make it so obvious, okay? =. =

"Da Lang and the others are pitiful, so don't treat them too coldly..." Although Wu Xu didn't like to see Li Zhong's mother, she still felt that the children were innocent and there was no need to treat them like strangers.

"Awu, don't worry, Dalang and the others are my sons after all, and I won't harm them. It's for their own good that I treat them coldly, lest some villains take advantage of their loopholes!" Li Zhi didn't explain in detail to Wu Xu He treated Li Zhong and the others indifferently, after all, he did not treat them harshly in terms of living conditions, and those three children are now old enough to marry, and he has secretly instructed Wei Shuyu and Changsun Quan to let the princesses Find a suitable marriage for a few children, so that Wu Xu won't worry.

Wu Xu didn't expect these trifles, and was relieved to see that Li Zhi didn't mean to treat Li Zhong and the others harshly. He also thought that these children had been officials for several years, so they finally took advantage of Feng Chan's opportunity to meet their father. It's better to let them stay for two more days.

"It's rare for the children to come back, so let them stay with the president for a few days, just as the Daming Palace has been built, so it's good to let them go around..." Wu Xu remembered that Li Sujie had two older sisters in the palace Well, coming back this time just happened to bring the three of them together.

Hearing Wu Xu's suggestion, Li Zhi just frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "You can take them back to Chang'an together, but don't call them often..."

When Wu Xu heard this, she couldn't help but give him a blank look: "Okay, what do I keep calling them for?"

Even if she didn't have any bad intentions for the children, it's hard to guarantee that those who like "conspiracy theories" will not randomly speculate about her intentions for the children!

Besides, Wu Xu is now a pregnant woman, and her physical condition is not as good as before. It is serious to be careful about abortion. How can she make trouble for herself and always bring people who may harm her to her? !

Li Xiaojiu felt the same when he heard this, so he touched his nose and said with a smile: "You really love those bastards..."

"Speaking of Daming Palace, I have something to discuss with you..."

When Li Zhi said this, he asked Xiao Shunzi to fetch the blueprints of the Daming Palace, and said to Wu Xu: "Look, this palace has been built, and these are the names I drafted, what do you think?" ...and which palace should the two of us live in?"

When Wu Xu saw the floor plan of the Daming Palace, he immediately became interested.

Different from the square, square and solemn style of the Taiji Palace, the Daming Palace looks like an irregular pentagon as a whole, and the halls in it are not as dense and narrow as the Taiji Palace. Entertainment and leisure places accounted for about 60.00% of the entire palace.More importantly, Daming Palace does not have Yeting, a palace dedicated to the emperor's concubines, which makes it look more spacious.

Moreover, it seems to be more convenient to go from the East Palace to the Daming Palace than to the Taiji Palace. His Royal Highness can enter the harem of Daming Palace through Hanlin Gate as soon as he comes out from the back door of his house, which is very convenient!

Wu Xu looked at this simple and elegant design, and liked it very much. He also saw the draft names of several important palaces marked on the blueprints. He thought they were drafted by the talents of the Design Institute, so he said: "The names of these palaces If you can get it, let the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites make the plaque..."

"As for me, Erlang, and Saburo, we can just live here..." Wu Xu pointed to the main hall behind Xuanzheng Hall.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw that Wu Xu had chosen Zichen Palace, he was very satisfied, but he said: "Erlang is not young anymore, it's time to find another palace for him to live in!"

"Then let him live next to me in this...Jin...Luan... Palace, eh?!" Wu Xu was embarrassed as soon as he finished reading the name of the palace.

Nima!Who gave this name?

Is there a feeling of time travel? !

The author has something to say: Well, Daming Palace is here~
