my gilded age

Chapter 541 Xu Hui's love, Li Zhi ascends the throne

What exactly happened in "The Secret History of the Tang Dynasty" during this period of time?

After Li Zhi became the prince, he experienced a life experience that was almost impossible to breathe.

He will get a wife soon.

Queen Wang is here. The prince's wedding is naturally grand and extraordinary.

However, when Queen Wang arrived, the queen was... puzzled.

Compared to the Wu Mei who was there not long ago, she is much worse.

Queen Wang is Qianqian. She is so coy and shy, and her little face under the phoenix crown and haori is really touching.

Lao Bai and Li Zhi even used violence in the end, showing his strong side.

By the way, Queen Wang’s background is very unusual. The Wang family is a rich family, and she is said to be related to an old princess. To put it simply, Queen Wang is also a distant relative of the old princess. The forces involved behind this, the struggle for power is very complicated. .

But the turmoil in the East Palace here has not yet calmed down, and news of Li You's rebellion came.

Li You's rebellion is even more interesting. This person seems to be a bit reckless, or has no sense of coarseness, but this time he rebelled and was wiped out without making any big noise.

Give death.

And the key this time is not the rebellion itself at all. The real target is actually the Wei family. Li You's wife, Wei Ting, her father is Wei Ting. During the rebellion, this Wei Ting was very active, and it was rumored that Li Tai was the one who wanted to be crown prince.

The Wei family suffered a certain blow.

Later, Li Zhi became the prince, but he was under great pressure and had to deal with his father Li Shimin every day. The relationship between the two was really strange. . .

It's like this on weekdays.

"Pheasant slave, do you know why I want to make you the prince?"

"Reporting to my father, I am afraid that my father thinks that the pheasant slave is the most like my father."

"Well said, but this is what I think, Father. What do you think?"

"I think it's about seven points."

The conversation is carried out with a gun and a stick, and if you have time to spare, you have to fight. It is euphemistically called a martial arts competition.

Why is this so?
"Your Highness, be careful. You can't act better than your majesty, but you can't act incompetent either." Wu Mei was already half a military adviser at this time.

"There's no need for you to talk nonsense like a fox!" Of course Li Zhi would not have a good attitude towards her. This woman had even called herself a regicide before.

However, Li Zhi was fascinated by Wu Mei's body, which was at least better than the Queen's incomprehensible charm.

So, the two of them had a chance to talk about each other, and this. . .Often secretly observed by Xu Hui.

Sometimes, Xu Hui would make some ambiguous actions.

Well, this is because it has to go through censorship. You can’t take photos of things like touching yourself that are too realistic. It has to be freehand, and that’s fine.

So, Xu Hui actually watched the two of them doing such shameful things. Does this mean that she likes Li Zhi?

Is this really the case?Xu Hui likes Li Zhi?
It seems reasonable. Otherwise, why would Xu Hui help Li Zhi like this? Maybe she was waiting for Li Zhi to change from prince to emperor. Then, wouldn't Xu Hui, the real Zhuge Kongming, be able to take the throne?
However, things are not that simple.

"Your Highness, how long should you hesitate? Although Your Highness is the prince now, in fact, things are at stake. Your Majesty is a wise master and has extremely strict requirements for the prince. Your Highness knows better than me. If one day... I am not needed. If you want to talk more, Your Highness will definitely understand."

"Then what else do you say? Humph!"

Faced with this kind of persuasion, Li Zhi always responded with a cold frown.

In fact, Li Zhi has always hated his father. Everyone can see this, but he still can't make up his mind.

Although this is a power struggle, either you die or I forget, and Li Shimin is too strong and cruel, forcing his father to abdicate, killing his brothers, and killing his own son. He has done it all, but what Li Zhi said is right. He's like a seven-pointer at best.

Li Zhi is not so cruel.

However, he was really, really stressed.

Li Zhi himself knew that the reason why he was able to get the position of prince was because of his performance at that time. He showed his ability, he was not a fool who didn't know anything, and he even spoke good words for his elder brother. This is brother with a heart, In this way, he became the crown prince.

Otherwise, if he is a frightened fool who is frightened by his father, he will not be able to be established as the prince no matter what.

The father's tests, personal teachings, and even martial arts competitions were all aimed at making the prince stronger and more like him as the emperor. Only in this way can he be his heir.

true heir.

Li Zhi is still hesitant now.

However, next, another thing happened.

The marriage of his younger sister, Princess Hengshan Li Huanhuan, was cancelled.

She was originally betrothed to Wei Zheng's son, but it was found out after Wei Zheng's death that Wei Zheng was a big talker and told others a lot of what he said to the emperor. He didn't know about it before, but he found out about it later and gave Li Shimin to Li Shimin. He was so angry that he smashed Wei Zheng's grave to pieces.

Then marry your daughter?
Wei Zheng died early. When he died, Li Shimin also said the famous words of "taking history as a guide". But now, knowing that this guy actually leaked the secret, his face changed really quickly.

But in this matter, the emperor Li Shimin was relieved of his hatred, but his daughter Princess Hengshan suffered a huge blow.

Although she is a princess, she still wants to get married. If she doesn't get married now, if the other party is like this, her reputation and integrity will be ruined.

So, it’s the drama between Li Zhi and Li Huanhuan, Bai Shiqiu and Sister Baba.

This is not over yet.

Li Chengqian died more than a year after losing his position as prince. This incident was a blow to Li Zhi.

The key thing is that the tombstone and epitaph are prepared in advance.

After all these incidents, Li Zhi's whole person has undergone tremendous changes.

Of course, there are a lot of political struggles in the play. In the palace, Concubine Wei fights against Concubine Yang, and outside the palace, the ministers fight against each other. In fact, it is the family conflicts behind the scenes.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were actually dynasties established by the Guanlong aristocratic group, and the clans in the dynasty were very powerful. In fact, the Li family was a powerful family, inextricably linked to the Yang family of the previous dynasty.

The same is true now, and the several big families not only fight with each other, but also have various conflicts with the Li family. Of course, they also intermarry with each other.

At present, the Changsun family is powerful. Although Queen Changsun has passed away, there is still Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin's younger brother. Moreover, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi are all descendants of Queen Changsun. When Li Shimin speaks to the outside world, He said he was the legitimate son.

The honor and favor are evident.

But they were too powerful and were an obstacle to the emperor.

Therefore, when they fight, they involve each other, use each other, and attack each other.

Brilliant.

The eldest grandson Wuji is the teacher Wu Gang that Bai Shiqiu often looks for.

The Wei family and the Yang family also had several teachers, Wang Jinsong and Liu Yijun.

Everyone was making fun of each other and foaming at the mouth.

Literary drama is enough, there must be some drama.

Taizong Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo!

Regardless of whether it was successful or not, Li Zhi could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although he also knew that there were still people watching him, he was at least more relaxed than when his father was around, and he was not staying in the capital.

Then, we need to do some research.

"Mei Niang, please tell me, what is your plan? You won't let me chop with a knife, will you?"

"Your Highness, actually, I have already thought about it."

As the saying goes, they have been in love for a long time. Li Zhi and Wu Mei have become old friends, so calling them by their names is more affectionate.

So, what is Wu Meiniang’s plan, that is, Xu Hui’s regicide plan?

It turns out that this is a very large, very complicated plan that no one can see.

Li Shimin's personal conquest of Goguryeo failed again. At this time, his health was already not in good condition. He was originally very strong and could compete with Li Zhi for nothing, but now he couldn't hold on anymore.

In fact, it is normal for me to have reached my age. So, what medicine should I take?
In the harem, there are people who will give advice on comparison.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are Taoist priests in Zhongnan Mountain who make elixirs to seek immortality..." Concubine Wei added.

"Your Majesty, you should think twice about the power of medicine and stone. Zhongnan Mountain is far away. Why not recruit all the alchemists from all over the world to collect rare treasures and come to the palace to refine elixirs." Concubine Yang also suggested.They are all related to Taoist priests refining alchemy. Why is this?
It turned out that Xu Hui had written a letter to the emperor before, "Admonition to Stop the Troops and Stop the Military". The writing was very good, but the emperor was not happy when he was summoned.

That's for sure. I didn't win in the first place. I was suffocating. It wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, but because it was too cold there and there were problems with all aspects of food and grass.

However, Xu Hui then began to look for Taoist books, saying that she wanted to find a way to live forever for His Majesty.

This is a good thing, so since it is a good thing, what will Concubine Wei and Concubine Yang do after hearing this?
They will definitely not stop this "Admonishing the Soldiers to Stop Recruiting", let Xu Hui come to make the Holy Emperor angry, but looking for the art of immortality, this is great and will please His Majesty.

So the two beloved concubines spoke up, and soon many ministers outside also understood.

You know, there are family members behind it.

When Li Shimin heard so many people advising him, he himself wanted to live longer.

Refining elixirs, let’s start refining elixirs now.

An emperor, a wise and mighty emperor, at this stage, just like those wise and mighty emperors before, also began to seek the art of immortality.

I won’t mention this process, but this is actually the method of regicide.

"Mei Niang, will that medicine..."

"Your Highness, the medicine was made according to the recipe. It was approved by His Majesty. You don't need to worry."

"How can I not worry?"

"Is His Highness afraid? Someone found you? Haha..."

"Why are you laughing?! You little fox!"

"Your Highness, don't worry. Even if someone is very capable and can find out Xu Hui's whereabouts, it will never be as good as Your Highness."

"Xu Hui?"

"Sister will take all the blame."

The previous conversation between Li Zhi and Wu Mei made Li Zhi sweat profusely.

Would Xu Hui really do this?
So, do this, this. . .

"Xu Hui must like Li Zhi!" Seeing this, Jiang Wen felt more and more that his idea was right.

But Bai Shiqiu could only smile and say, "Brother, take your time and watch."

Next, something interesting happened.

A fat man named Wang Xuance appeared.

Wang Xuance?
Yes, one person destroyed an entire country. His deeds are extremely mysterious.

Naturally, the Nafu Empire, which used troops to destroy Tianzhu, must take advantage of this experience.

However, he also has an extremely powerful deed.

"Your Majesty! This is a powerful alchemist from Tianzhu."

It turned out that Wang Xuance wanted to destroy his country in order to find an alchemist who could make elixirs for the emperor.

There is simply no way to tell this story, it is so interesting and makes people addicted to watch it.

Wu Mei came to tell Li Zhi that Wang Xuance's appearance was definitely an accident.

Then this Wang Xuance. . .

Fatty Liu also plays the role. He used to be a bit player, but now he has much better lines.

The matter of refining alchemy seemed more reliable to the emperor.

But as the alchemy was nearing completion, Li Zhi thought about giving up.

Why is this?

It turned out that Li Shimin's health was getting worse and worse, but he became more and more kind to his heir, Prince Li Zhi. He was not as strong and coercive as before, and he was more like a father than an emperor.

Li Zhi really wanted to stop. He took good care of his father and shed tears from time to time.

However, something happened again that made Li Zhi completely give up.

Princess Hengshan married Changsun Quan.

Although this person's surname is also Changsun, he is not a good person to rely on. Changsun's family is so big, and not everyone is very powerful. This guy is just not very good.

As a result, Li Zhi separated from his sister with overwhelming hatred.

The elixir was made and the emperor took the medicine.

Drink like this. . .

I couldn't get up right away.

Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven, was a wise and powerful man who conquered a huge empire in his life as a soldier. Now, he is about to leave.

On this day, Li Zhi came to his father's bedside.

"Pheasant slave, is it pheasant slave? My good boy..."

"Father, do you know how much I hate you?"

"What?" Li Shimin's face was extremely frightened.

Next, Li Zhi said: "Back then, my mother's death was because of you! My eldest brother's death was also because of you! Now, my dearest sister has also been married to someone else by you. Her reputation has been ruined by you, but Think about what she will suffer in her husband's family. All this is because of you! Emperor, you have done a good job, but you are not a father or husband at all! Your Majesty, I told you before that I am only seven points like you. Now , I want it to be like a full ten! Your Majesty, you can go in peace."

After speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Li Shimin's reaction.

There was no one else in the hall. Li Shimin was taken care of by Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang in his last days. Even the eunuchs and maids were not allowed to get close to him.

A generation of emperors, with tears falling from the corners of their eyes, refused to rest in peace.

Li Zhi became the emperor.

But what about Xu Hui?

"Arrange for me to meet Xu Hui."

"According to the order."

Wu Mei also understood the matter and had already used the title of emperor.

Why does Li Zhi want to see Xu Hui?
"He must also know that there is a woman who likes him silently!" Jiang Wen felt as if he had won. He had guessed correctly.

but.

"Xu Chongrong, when I see you, I just want to ask you one thing. Why did you do this?" Li Zhi was very straightforward.

How did Xu Huike answer?
He smiled and said softly: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Could it be that you want to be like Wu Mei? Wait a hundred years for your father to join my harem?"

"Your Highness is overthinking. Xu Hui only asks for two things from Your Highness. One is that I have a sister who likes you very much. The other is that Your Highness can bury me and His Majesty together."

After saying that, I won’t say any more.

What does it mean?
When Jiang Wen saw this, he was stunned.

Especially in the end, Xu Hui kept chanting the late emperor's name before she died.

It's obvious, very obvious, and I've actually told everyone about it early on.

Xu Hui has long said that she really likes Li Shimin, the wise and mighty emperor.

And now, she planned all of this, which was tantamount to killing the person she loved, but she could finally get her wish and be with the person she loved, which she could not get when she was alive.

All this is because of the word 'love'.

　Thank you everyone!sincere gratitude!

　　Today is Lei Feng's anniversary, and it's also the Oscars. Kobe actually won an award. Well, I'll just treat it as news for everyone.
