Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Sixty-two unexpected

Wu Mei, who has not spoken, heard Li Zhi’s words, looked at him for a moment, thought about it, and said, “He Lan Minzhi has always been close to his uncles Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing. What one of Lan Min did, Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing must have instructed them, otherwise He Lanmin can enter the heavily guarded restricted area by He Lanmin?"

This is Wu Mei's successor, a great way for her, and it is also something she has been thinking about for years to do, and it is also something that Li Zhi has always misunderstood.

Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing are half-parents with her. The birth mother Yang was alive, and before he became a queen, the two had always been very mean to their mother.

I have long wanted to find a chance to exile them, but when I was first named a queen, in order to take into account the courtiers' criticism of my indifferent family relationship, and to stabilize my position as a queen, I temporarily needed these two young prisoners in Ren Shao Mansion , Zong Zheng Shaoqing’s elder brother helped himself to remove dissidents, so he stayed until now.

And this created an illusion for Li Zhi, that is, Wu Mei valued Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang very much, and it was so important that he could rely on these two to do what Wu Mei did.

At this moment, for Wu Mei, who has completely controlled the harem, the two have no use value. On the contrary, they will continue to stay in Shaofu and Zongzheng Temple, but they will hinder their actions everywhere.

Furthermore, Wu Yuanshuang's greedy character has already made her extremely unhappy. Many rare and exotic products in this palace were embezzled by him, but Wu Mei could not effectively stop them.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, who was a little unclear, and continued: "I hope that your majesty can be fair to Hong'er in this matter."

When Wu Mei said this, Li Zhi knew that he was grossly wrong, and he was completely wrong about the relationship between the three queen siblings.

Li Zhi never expected that the queen would plan to break the boat. In this way, the queen would give up all the close relatives and ministers around her. This would greatly weaken her sense of existence and also make him somewhat lost. Got some interest.

He still doesn’t know that Wu Mei has done this after careful consideration, because Li Hong’s strong rise, coupled with her inherent advantage as a prince, made her ambition that had gradually risen suddenly become fragile. A lot of things, if at this time you want to enter the court for discussion, the harem's charge of doing politics is likely to be detained on her.

What's more, the harem is not completely without opponents now. Xu Hui, who was elected into the harem by Taizong Li Shimin together with her, were both canonized as "Fifth Grade Talents."

Since I entered the palace, I have never appreciated Taizong’s appreciation. Apart from being given the title: Wu Mei (later generations falsely called Wu Meiniang), there is nothing else. If it weren’t for Li Zhi, I’m afraid she would be in Ganye Temple. Spend the rest of your life.

Xu Hui won the favor of the first emperor, and was successively named Jieyu, Chongrong, and posthumously named a good concubine after death.

And Li Zhi is not only in the political affairs, Xiao Gui Cao followed, completely inherited the legacy of Zhenguan. Even on the matter of choosing a concubine in the harem, Li Zhi also showed the "like-mindedness" between father and son.

Wu Mei needless to say, Li Zhi's standard "son inherits his father's career." At the time, Xu Yingying, the younger sister of Concubine Xu Huixian, Li Zhi's father, was also included in the harem by Li Zhi and was canonized as Jie Yu.

Wu Mei now naturally noticed Xu Jieyu's existence after putting most of his thoughts in the harem. What's more, because of the participation of the little **** Li Hong, Concubine Xiao Shu has been living in the harem all the time. All these have to make Wu Mei give up the thought of contacting the court temporarily.

Following Wu Mei's condemnation of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, she then stated her position and retreated to the harem and began to watch the fire from across the bank to see how the two father and son are lively.

Li Zhi suddenly lost his interest in continuing to test Li Hong. Rather than saying that Li Zhi wanted to test Li Hong more, it would be better to say that he was always happy afterwards and wanted to continue to participate in the three-person fight, mainly because of Wu Mei's participation.

Wu Mei's participation inspired him to change his way to find some new fun between himself and Wu Mei, to add some new pleasures to the relationship between the two of them.

It can be seen that Li Zhi has also reached a new height in his love for Wu Mei. Between the two, if Wu Mei is weaker and has no ambitions for power, it is estimated that Li Zhi and Wu Mei will probably stage a show, the Tang Dynasty version of Zhou Youwang and Bao Si's "Feng Huo opera princes" allusion .

There is no if in history, but Li Zhi has a reluctant if. If he loses Wushun mother and daughter in this way, Li Zhi is a little reluctant to bear it.

Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang were deposed as commoners and imprisoned in the deep palace, and one was already a pile of bones at this time. As far as Li Zhi is concerned, although he deeply loves the queen in his heart, if there are other women besides the queen who can bear his rain and dew, this is the best way to replace the queen and the concubine Xiao Shu in his heart.

Li Hong originally thought that the deadlock between the three could not be solved, but he did not expect that a royal struggle would disappear invisible because of the queen's gentle escape.

At this moment, he is the happiest person. He immediately grabbed Wu Mei's arm and hugged him in his arms and began to get tired: "Mother, I will send you some good things in some time. Now Taiyi City is Stepping up production, there are still some technical flaws, but I guess it will not be long before they can be dedicated to the mother."

Li Zhi saw that the mother and son were already on the united front, and it was very likely that they would be unanimous to him. If he didn’t make a decision quickly, he might not play with him in the future. .

Moreover, he is also very obsessed with Li Hong's unconventional, casual and natural way of being honest, which adds a bright landscape to their dull, dull and boring palace life.

What's more, the most important thing is that as the prince Li Hong, after his observations over the past few years, all Li Hong's things are done in the sun, and nothing has been quietly unfolded under the shadow of the sun. All he did was an open gentleman's behavior.

Even Li Jingmen guarded by Jingzhe, Cheetah, and Yangwu, Li Hong always let him filter the information first, and then he finds what is useful to him.

Over the past few years, Li Hong has never touched a series of matters such as court affairs, officials and party formation. Between the prince and the emperor, it is difficult to grasp the measure, and he can handle it with ease. Do not overstep the thunder pond.

As for Bai Chun, who has always helped him manage and run Taiyi City, Li Zhi believes that Li Hong must know who Bai Chun is used for, but Li Hong has nothing to hide from him, so he doesn’t care about Bai Chun. For whom allegiance.

After figuring out these joints, Li Zhi suddenly recovered an expression that he hadn’t seen for several years, rubbing his hands tightly against each other a few times, and said, “Let’s do this, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, it’s not enough. Death, in my opinion, how about being demoted to the state governor?"

Wu Mei and Li Hong, mother and son cuddled together, and the two big silent eyes looked at him together, waiting for his next words.

"Well, the Korean wife Wushun and Helan Minyue have stolen the Prince's Mansion, so they will not be able to enter Chang'an unless they are summoned." Li Zhi whispered.

"Hong'er, send your father to the palace, mother and queen are tired today..."

"Father, please."

"Little bastard, you just listen to what your mother said? Father and the emperor will stay here for the night today. Please go back to the East Palace."

"That's not okay, the queen said, you better go, the queen is very tired today." Li Hong smiled and pushed Li Zhi's half-pushed body and walked out.

"Be careful, don't push your father down." Wu Mei said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Yes, don’t worry, your husband will be fine, how hard I am. I only know that my husband doesn’t know to worry about my son... Ouch... mother, queen, son convicted ."

Li Hong rubbed his ears with a long sigh, and walked with Li Zhi on the quiet road of the palace. In the end, both father and son were driven out.

"What should you do next?" Li Zhi stopped and looked at Li Hong who was scratching his head like a monkey.

"Not so. I have discussed with my mother and queen, and I plan to tell you that in the future, Sujie, Shangjin, and Li Xian will go to Chongwenguan to study together. As for the clan uncles, the children will notify them for one month. Then go to Taiyi City, and then allocate some properties to them."

Li Zhi touched Li Hong’s head and motioned to him as he walked and said that Yang Wu and Xia Zhi and others had fallen far behind him, knowing that this was a rare time for the father and son to get along, and no one knew what they were talking about. Should you listen?

"Erchen thought, these industries, except for the foundation of my Datang, can be completely expanded in scale and handed over to the royal clan is one of them. Secondly, he plans to vigorously support private merchants. , As for how to do it, there is only a simple prototype in his mind now ~ IndoMTL.com~ has not yet been fully formed. But he knows that he must comply with one point, that is, there must be competition between businesses. There is development. This is what the children can think of now. It is a method to contain the industry that will be handed over to the clan in the future and not be monopolized by them."

"What you mean is that if you hand over the property to your uncle and the others, you will also give it to private merchants? Salt and iron are fundamental to the country. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this." Li Zhi said worriedly. In the Hall of Two Instruments, the clan had repeated Li Hong's original words, so he naturally knew what Li Hong wanted to give to the clan.

“That’s a big deal. Of course it’s wrong. The salt-making method needs to be popularized. Just like sugar, only the folks can make full use of the new method. Datang and you can really get the benefits. The rich country and strong military also start from bit by bit. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty is not just the wealth of the clan and nobles, but the differentiated wealth based on the people. The clan and nobles are allowed to be rich, but the clan and nobles are never allowed to monopolize the industry, so as to squeeze and absorb the hard-earned money of the people, and even In the end, it reached the point of threatening the royal family with the economy. So the sons and ministers need to form a relationship of restraint and competition between them. In this way, it can also make the development of our Datang faster. After all, there is no development without competition."

Li Hong said in the end, pretending to be a Shangguanyi in front of Li Zhi, with his head tilted a little behind his hands, and stepping inside, making Li Zhi laugh.

For several years, only with Li Hong can he feel the true love between father and son. Just like when he lived with the emperor father, he accompanies the emperor father up and down, and sleeps with him on the bed.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn’t help but stop. He didn’t notice Li Hong, who was still learning the official rites. He secretly made a decision in his heart. Back then, he could let his father take the imperial court. Why? You can't take Hong'er to the court! ?
