Chapter 507 The Wind Blows Up in Chang'an and the Empress Dos Something

In Chang'an Sky Prison, a commotion and the sound of footsteps woke up the sleeping envoys from several countries.

He has been imprisoned for more than two months, counting the days and festivals over, and not having enough food or clothing to keep warm all day long. In this dark prison, he can only live in lethargy every day.

"Come out, come out, the Tubo envoys are coming out, mother, I live here all day, either eating or sleeping, it's like being treated by an uncle, get out quickly." An impatient voice came, it turned out to be the prison boss here. five.

Everyone was startled, and the Khitan envoy trembled and said: "It's over, it's over, it's really destroying countries one by one. A few days ago it was Huihe, and now Tubo has also been wiped out."

Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't stand it anymore, and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot, he was redeemed."

A weak voice came from the prison: "My lord, we, the Tubo group, are unable to go out because of handicapped legs and feet. Please send someone to take us out."

When Xing Laowu heard this, he remembered that, yes, this group of people were all crippled with broken legs. He snorted coldly, called a group of people, and threw Lu Dongzan and his party out of the sky prison and handed them over to Tubo. people.

The deputy prime minister of Tubo came to rescue Lu Dongzan. When he saw this situation, he was about to burst into a rage, but Lu Dongzan sternly stopped him.

"Go back and say, go!"

Inside the guest house, Tubo and his party waited for Lu Dongzan to speak.

"President, what happened? Why were your legs broken? Isn't the Tang Dynasty a state of etiquette? How dare you be rude to the envoys?"

"Let's not talk about this, let me tell you if there is any news recently. I was imprisoned in the prison for two months. I thought it was a doomsday situation. It seems that my master is kind. Sending you to rescue me must have paid a lot of money." Lu Dong Zan ate something, his complexion recovered a little, but he still lacked the strength to speak.

The deputy prime minister of Tubo nodded and said: "My lord has said that the prime minister is a national hero, and we will do our best to rescue him. For this, we have paid for two national treasures of Tubo.

By the way, the Lord ordered that Datang is too dangerous. After receiving you, we must set off to return to China immediately, so as not to cause trouble. "

"Well, that's fine, I'll send someone to prepare, and we'll leave tomorrow, Datang? Bai Fan? I, Lu Dongzan, have written down everything you gave me, and I will ask you to get it back sooner or later." Lu Dongzan had hatred in his eyes. The fire was burning so fiercely that everyone around felt shuddering when they saw it. A literati in the prime minister was even more terrifying than the breath of a hundred-war general.

In the sky prison, the Khitan envoy complained: "To Lu, those who have a long and difficult journey to Tubo have come to redeem them. Why don't our people come?"

Yuan Gai Suwen said disdainfully: "It's hard to say, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said beforehand that the price of ransom is not small. I, Goguryeo, are fine. Do you have any national treasures to enshrine in Khitan and Mohe?"

As soon as this question came up, Khitan's Yelubao and Mohe envoys stopped talking for a while, and finally said with a little dejection: "That's over, we are too poor, how can we have any national treasures and wealth, it seems that we have to wait to die of old age In jail."

Yuan Gai Suwen looked at these two groups of poor envoys, feeling disdainful in his heart, and at the same time wondering, if the two countries were too poor to redeem them, why didn't Goguryeo come here?Did something happen in the country?
The territory of the Tang Dynasty is now full of celebrations. A good harvest festival has just passed. This year, the Tang Dynasty has no disasters and disasters. It's freezing to death in winter.

At this time, Li Er was enjoying the fun of family reunion in the palace. The empress's eldest grandson's belly was already big, and she would give birth in at most one month, so Li Eryi stayed with her in the Lizheng Hall when he had time.

"Guanyin maidservant, why are these people frowning? But what's on your mind?" Li Er asked the queen while holding the young Li Zhi.

Empress Changsun frowned and said, "Hey! Since my concubine was pregnant, I have strictly followed Sun Shenxian's requirements to rest daily. The diet for the past nine months is really boring. I miss the fruits and bananas brought from the south, and I haven't eaten them for a long time. arrive."

this……

Seeing how worried Madam was, Li Er laughed and said, "Why is this so difficult? Lingnan is constantly shipping canned fruits to Chang'an all year round. I will send someone to fetch the canned bananas in stock."

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Empress Changsun became even more angry, and snorted coldly: "Don't you know that there are canned food? But Sun Shenxian said that pregnant women must pay attention to their diet. Processed things like canned food have lost their freshness. Pregnant women can't eat the essence, Erlang is so indifferent to the concubine's body, hey, forget it, let's be a concubine without saying anything."

With a flick of his sleeves, the empress's eldest grandson left dissatisfied, leaving Li Er in a mess.without warning.

This trivial matter was quickly spread to Chang'an City. At the same time, in order to express his love for his wife, Li Er also posted a list to propose who in Chang'an City had bananas, and the palace was willing to buy them with a lot of money.

But who can eat this thing?Don't talk about eating, but I have never seen it before. No one knows what a banana is. The empress knows about it because Lingnan has paid tribute in the past, but now the tribute has been used up, so Li Er is in a hurry.

The queen is going to give birth soon, if this broken fruit affects the mood of the wife and affects the birth of the child, that would be a big bad.

No matter what, I heard that bananas are produced all year round. An imperial decree was sent to Lingnan urgently for [-] miles, ordering Feng An, King of Yue in Lingnan, to send a batch to Chang'an within one month after receiving the urgent report from the messenger. Seasonal fruits, [-]% of which are bananas, are urgent and must not be mistaken.

As soon as this news came out, Chang'an was in an uproar. For the queen's temporary appetite, the emperor used military planes to send eight hundred miles to expedite it?What's going on here?It's a little too much.

Soon, all the colleagues of Yushitai, headed by Wei Zheng, went to the hall to remonstrate. How can His Majesty be so childish?This is not the way of a wise king, but the way of a foolish king. Wanwang will take it back.

Empress Changsun is dissatisfied, my husband will bring me food, you old fellows care about everything?
So without waiting for Li Er to make amends to the ministers, the queen came out with a big belly, which was rare, and scolded everyone at Yushitai, saying how hard it was for her to be pregnant with a dragon son, and she was doing her best for the country. Unreasonable?
Wei Zheng and the others were dumbfounded. It is the law of the country that women cannot be involved in politics, but now that she is a queen with a big belly, who dares to argue with her?If a disagreement angered the other party, if the fetus in the womb was hurt, who could bear the responsibility.

In the end, Li Erhao talked badly, persuaded the queen to leave, and made an apology to everyone, saying that it was only this one time, and the next one would not be an example. This was also a helpless move for the queen to give birth with peace of mind.

As soon as this news came out, the people of Chang'an heatedly discussed again, saying that Yushitai is a rare humane institution, reasonable, and His Majesty is also a rare good husband.Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, it is not a big deal to get fruit for the queen's production, so the common people don't have much resistance.

However, regarding Empress Changsun's behavior this time, many people will still say some rumors. After all, it is not what a wise wife should do for the sake of food and drink. For a while, Empress Changsun's reputation among the people has declined, but The eldest grandson empress who was the person involved didn't care, she just wanted to eat bananas now, and it was too late to ship them in a month.

Not long after, this incident spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and it was later passed on as a good story, because Li Er defied all opinions this time and favored his pregnant wife, and he also set an example for husbands all over the world. Many people will make several requests to test whether the husband loves them. This habit even eventually evolved into a custom. If the pregnant woman does not make requests, the husband will take the initiative to express dissatisfaction.

Everyone regarded this matter as a farce, and no one saw the involvement behind the farce, and no one cared about it.

Lu Dongzan, who fled all the way to the west, grinned and secretly smiled in his heart. With such a master of the harem in Tang Dynasty, disaster will inevitably happen sooner or later.

But at this time, he didn't have time to inquire about this. Ever since he heard about the fairy grain on the road, Lu Dongzan knew that the time waited for no one, so he galloped all the way, and had to do something before Bai Fan and others transported the grain to Chang'an. , this is an opportunity.
