[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 2417

Wu Xu couldn't help looking at Xiao Shunzi: "What the hell did she do, Yang?" She actually angered an iceberg like Da Lang!

When Xiao Shunzi heard the words, he couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat. He thought that Her Majesty the Empress really knew the truth, so she didn't dare to lie, and replied in a low voice: "Since the birth of Xiao Dalang, the Yang family has given birth to the elders in the Duke's mansion. The servants were driven out of the house..."

Wu Xu knew about this.

Since the death of Mrs. Rongguo, the old lady of her family, Zhou Guogong's mansion has actually fallen into Yang's hands, and Wu Minzhi has been away from home all year round, so Yang can bear to clean up the backyard after giving birth. It's a bit of patience.

After all, it was a private matter of the nephew's house, and Wu Xu was busy with everything, so he didn't pay much attention to it - as long as Yang's heart was devoted to Dalang, it was fine for Yang to control Duke Zhou's mansion, it was not Wu Xu's business.

However, it was really strange that Xiao Shunzi suddenly mentioned this.

"Ms. Yang is Da Lang's wife after all, and she manages the Duke's mansion. It's not a big deal to expel a few old servants..." With Wu Minzhi's personality, he probably doesn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the backyard.

"Da Lang never likes to pay attention to such trifles..."

Besides, with Wu Minzhi's indifference, how could he argue with Yang over the matter of expelling some old servants?

Xiao Shunzi naturally understood the meaning of Wu Xu's words, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Dalang originally ignored the affairs of the mansion, but one of the servants who was expelled was killed by bandits inexplicably after leaving Longdu, and there was only one little lady. He was seriously injured and survived, but he happened to be rescued by Mr. Da Lang..."

What a bizarre story.

After all, Wu Xu has been immersed in the court for many years, and has also experienced a lot of intrigue in the harem. Just listening to Xiao Shunzi's words, he has already had an epiphany.

Yang Shi is not a simple woman, she has always known it.

I thought that if she were married to the Wu family, and she would enjoy wealth and glory, this woman would be more peaceful, but who knows...

Not enough people...

The girls of the Tang Empire are not easy!

Wu Xu smiled slightly, and there was a rare coldness in the originally graceful and luxurious smile.

"Go and find out which clans this woman has been connected with in the past two years."

"Follow orders." Xiao Shunzi hadn't seen such a frightening expression on his master for a long time, and hurriedly took orders and ran away.

As soon as Xiao Shunzi left, Awei came forward with a bowl of soup, and said with a smile, "Lady, this is Si Niang's honor to you~~~~"

When Wu Xu heard this, the expression on her face finally softened a little, but she said, "It's a good thing she still remembers me as a mother! When I'm only a little older, I just run around, and I'm not afraid of being abducted!"

After all, Awei has followed Wu Xu for so many years, so how could he not know whether Wu Xu was annoyed or not? Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "The lords and Sanniang love Siniang so much, how can they let Siniang be wronged? Besides, my lady, you Don't you often say that little ladies need to gain more knowledge?"

Awei was right in saying this, but Wu Xu's original intention at the beginning was to let the young lady learn more from her family's third sister's open-minded temperament, often travel to the palace, and meet more good men, so as not to be punished by that kid from the Xue family in the future. Fascinated.

Unexpectedly, if she was not careful, she would overcorrect. Just when Wu Xu was fighting the foxes in the court with all her heart and soul, her family's originally obedient little dumpling had been spoiled by her father and brothers and sisters. This is what it looks like now!

What a noble master, he dressed up as a gentleman all day long, wandered around Chang'an and Luoyang, and made friends with a large group of young talents who called him brothers and sisters, and even called him: "Snap talents for my mother."

I bother!

If she dares to bring these beautiful boys into court, she won't be tossed to death by someone? !

What's even worse is that Da Lang, the third child, the fourth child, and the third mother are all playing with the little girl, and from time to time help the little girl out of the palace to play in the name of being close to her sister!

Sometimes, Wu Xu really wished that she would not receive all the other jobs of the boss, the third child, the fourth child, and Li Xiaojiu in one go, and pass through to her small black room in the Shendu Palace!

"Forget it, you just get used to her!" Wu Xu sighed helplessly, then looked at the soup in Awei's hand, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Where did you get this?"

"This was brought in by Si Niang, who said it was a kind of fruit brought back from the kelp by the subordinate business..." Awei didn't understand why Wu Xu was so excited all of a sudden, so he hurriedly replied: "Your master ordered the hospital to see it." , said that this kind of fruit has the effect of invigorating qi and nourishing the spleen, so I ordered my servant to make a sweet soup and offer it to the saint..."

"Fruit?" Wu Xu looked at the golden particles in the lacquer bowl with a strange expression, and said after a while, "This is a good thing..."

After sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced to Datang one after another, corn also appeared in her bowl!

God help her too.

Originally, Wu Xu had the intention to take advantage of the chance of proclaiming himself emperor to withdraw the vassal of Li Tang's clan, and then deepen the reform.

I don't think the old princes of the Li family were cunning, but none of them jumped out to rebel. Even though she deliberately removed Wu Minzhi as the commander of the imperial army and chose another general of the Li family, there was no movement from those princes.

Of course, Wu Xu would not believe that the members of Li Tang's clan would be indifferent to seeing her as an 'outsider' dominating the king. Obviously, the other party was either afraid of Li Zhi, the Supreme Emperor, who would have a second move, or they were secretly gathering forces to overthrow it in one fell swoop. She and Li Zhi...

Knowing this, Wu Xu could only endure it.

One is that the teacher came out of no name, and the other is that the time has not yet arrived.

Years of wars, although the territory of the Tang Dynasty increased dramatically and its reputation spread far and wide, it also brought a lot of troubles.

The increase in territory and the prosperity of the economy have also brought about a surge in population.

However, in Datang, where there is no hybrid rice, food has gradually become a big headache for Wu Xu.

It is not easy to feed the people of such a large country.

Datang's current shipbuilding technology may be called the best in the world, but it can't cross the ocean to reach America and Africa.

The introduction of sweet potatoes and potatoes is already a surprise, and now even corn has appeared, so the solution to the food problem is just around the corner!

Once the problem of people's livelihood is resolved, those who hide in the dark and try to take the opportunity to rebel may have no chance again, right?

And what happened to Yang's now is probably an excellent gap for her to eradicate those people!

While Wu Xu was slowly tasting the sweet soup made of corn, she showed a wicked smile.

In the spring of the third year of Shenlong, drought began to appear in Yuzhou, Yuezhou, Bingzhou and other places, and some rumors unfavorable to the queen appeared among the people.

At the same time, Emperor Li Zhi's old illness relapsed, and he could not see things. The empress heard the news and rushed to the palace at Zhongnan Mountain overnight, leaving only Zhang Wenguan, Changsun Quan, Pei Yan and others to stay in Shendu.

It was the month, and there was another sad news about the death of the concubine Yan of Yue Kingdom.

When the empress heard about it, she was very sad, and ordered to bury Dowager Yan in Zhaoling with noble concubine rites, and summoned her sons Li Zhen, king of Yue, and Li Chong, king of Sun Langya, to carry the coffin to Beijing.

It was expected by everyone that Concubine Yan had a good relationship with the empress during her lifetime, and she would be honored and benefit her descendants after her death. However, the empress's next edict made everyone in Li Tang's family murmur.

Just after the edict to summon Yue Wang and his son to Beijing, the queen issued another edict, ordering all the vassal kings in the country to bring their sons to Beijing...

It's not a festive occasion, and suddenly calling people to Beijing, it's impossible for them to attend the funeral of Concubine Yan, right?

Then, a warning letter secretly sent by Taiwei and Han Wang Li Yuanjia brought the fear of the feudal lords to its peak.

========================= The last rebellion dividing line ========================== =========

"My wife's illness is getting worse, and I may need early treatment. If it is winter, I may become a chronic disease. It is better to start early and report it quickly."

Yue Wang Li Zhen frowned, repeating the contents of the short note.

His eldest son, Li Chongduan, sat beside him with a solemn expression.

Seeing that her husband was hesitating, Li Zhen's concubine, the eldest grandson, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, according to my concubine, what Uncle Eleven means... that..." She said and pointed in the direction of Luoyang, "We must treat the clan Started?"

"Shut up!" Li Zhen's expression changed dramatically when she heard the words, she hastily interrupted Mrs. Changsun's words, and subconsciously looked outside to see if anyone had heard Mrs. Changsun's words.

Seeing this, Li Chong said: "Father, don't worry, everyone has been shunned before my son came in..." He obviously agreed with his mother's words, so he said: "My mother is very worried. It will be aimless... the one who wants to get rid of it will be a long time..."

Li Zhen didn't refute when she heard the words, she just sighed and shook her head.

To be honest, in fact, when the emperor was in power, Li Tangzong's life was not very good.

First, during the reign of Yonghui, when Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were in power, several princes and princesses who threatened the throne were killed. Even Jiangxia King Li Daozong and the famous general Xue Wanche were murdered.

Afterwards, the Wu family rose, and another group of clan elders were promoted secretly.

Remove real power, withdraw private soldiers, cut fiefs...

All of them are trembling!

Until Li Yuanli, the king of Zheng, became the third prince, no one in the offshoot of Li Tang's clan held important positions.

Now, King Zheng has passed away, and only Han Wang Li Yuanjia is the longest remaining in the clan. Although he has the title of Taiwei, it is just a false title of honor!

What's more, the position of Taiwei was conferred by the Wu family when he ascended the throne as the emperor. I'm afraid his eleventh uncle will feel deeply humiliated!

Back then, Han Wang Li Yuanjia was not inferior to Taizong and Prince Yin.His mother is the younger sister of Yuwen Shiji, who was deeply favored by Taizu and almost became his successor.And Li Yuanjia was known as a prodigy in his early years. It is said that he can draw circles with his left hand and squares with his right hand at the same time, count sheep with his eyes, recite scriptures and history, compose forty-cross poems, and write five-character quatrains in full.

For so many years, Li Yuanjia has been keeping a low profile, obsessed with painting and calligraphy, but he couldn't sit still this time. Could it be that he is really going to attack the clan?

"Emperor Wu has always been close to the concubine, and he took good care of us..." Li Zhen hesitated because of his mother, Concubine Yan De.

Although he is also the son of Emperor Taizong, he is the one who has lived the best life except for the emperor who ascended the throne. Needless to say, the reason for this is that his mother Yan is related to the current emperor.

As the prince of the Li family, he had to admit that Han Wang Li Yuanjia's concerns were justified.

Not to mention that the Emperor Wu wants to eradicate the clan, even His Majesty the Emperor, who is praised as the eternal benevolent king, is probably eyeing them, the vassal kings with real power!

Now, the Emperor is critically ill, but the Emperor Wu suddenly ordered all the vassals to enter the capital, it is really strange!

Should we act first?

The author has something to say: the countdown to the end...
