Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 457
Shao Yiyi didn't take Li Heng back to Dunhuafang first, because Shao Yiyi came out to buy crystal persimmons for Concubine Yin, and she just came out, so she had to go to the West Market first.

Fortunately, Li Heng directly recognized Shao Yiyi as his mother, so no matter where Shao Yiyi took the little guy, the little guy would be happy to go.

And along the way, Shao Yiyi bought a lot of delicious food for Li Heng, and because of this, the little guy Li Heng became more dependent on Shao Yiyi, and more importantly, along the way to the West Market, the bustling Chang'an has a lot of food. Li Heng's small eyes were dazzled by the common people.

Then the little guy followed Shao Yiyi to Dunhuafang. If Li Heng's little eyes were dazzled by the outside, then Dunhuafang would directly make Li Heng stare blankly.

Everything in Dunhuafang is something that Li Heng has never seen or encountered before. Although Chang'an is prosperous, it is not novel, but unlike Chang'an, this Dunhuafang is really too novel.

The style is completely different from Chang'an. Along the way, Li Heng is like a hundred thousand whys. He keeps asking what is here and what is there. Shao Yiyi is also very patient, helping Li Heng one by one. answer.

Not to mention, the two got along very well, but when Shao Yiyi brought Li Heng to Li You's residence, he was told that Li You was not at the residence at this time, and asked where he was going. At this time, Quan Zhi Xi also shook his head and said he didn't know.

There was no other way, Shao Yiyi had no choice but to take Li Heng to Concubine Yin's palace. Originally, Shao Yiyi wanted to keep Li Heng with Li You, but this little guy wanted to follow her, holding her and calling her mother, this Shao Yiyi He couldn't let go, he had no choice but to take the little guy to Concubine Yin's palace.

"Mother, what is that?"

Sitting in the carriage, Li Heng watched with interest the hot air balloon floating in the sky in the distance.

"Hehe. Heng'er, that is a hot air balloon invented by His Royal Highness King Qi, which can take people into the sky." Shao Yiyi explained with a smile.

"Really. Then Heng'er will go to the sky..." Li Heng stared at the hot air balloon with small eyes.

Shao Yiyi smiled and said: "You, you are really a big kid, you are only a little old, and you want to go to heaven, but I dare not promise you, the quota for heaven will be in a few years, unless His Royal Highness King Qi has spoken, otherwise no one will be able to take you to heaven."

"King Qi is Li You, mother, don't worry, Li You treats me well. I just need to kiss Li You, and Li You will definitely agree to me immediately." Heng'er was very confident.

Looking at Li Heng's confident little expression, Shao Yiyi quickly said: "By the way, Heng'er, I'm going to take you to a lady later, you have to remember that you must obey the rules when you are with a lady, and you must not mess around. If you touch the things in the empress's house, if you offend the empress, let alone me, even His Royal Highness Qi Wang can't protect you."

"Oh mother, don't worry, Heng'er will obediently promise not to cause trouble for mother."

After getting Li Heng's guarantee, Shao Yiyi nodded in relief, feeling that this little girl is still very well-behaved, but she doesn't know why this little girl is so persistent in calling her mother and being so close to herself .

But this feeling is not bad, it is still very gratifying to feel that this little guy is nestled in his arms.

The carriage slowly arrived at Concubine Yin's palace, which is very close to Furong Garden. Standing in Concubine Yin's palace, she could see the hot air balloon in the sky in front of her more clearly. Just as she got off the carriage, she heard Li Heng's excited voice : "Mother, look how big the hot air balloon is, you can see it more clearly from here."

Looking at the excited little guy, Shao Yiyi didn't speak, but smiled and touched Li Heng's little face: "Don't look, let's go in, wait a minute and be good, if you are good, I will give you chocolate .”

"Mother also has chocolate?" Li Heng's small eyes lit up: "Then why didn't mother give it to me now, doesn't mother like Heng'er the most?" As he said that, the little guy showed a pitiful expression.

Shao Yiyi smiled: "That's not the case, the chocolate is in my room, I have to go back and get it. You have to wait."

"So it's like this, I know mother." Li Heng laughed happily.

Just before Shao Yiyi entered the Palace of Concubine Yin, Concubine Yin had less than ten days to stay in Dunhua Square. In a few days, Concubine Yin would return to the palace. Fang's life, but she has no ability to stay in Dunhua Fang.

You must know that concubines in ancient times were not allowed to leave the palace to live casually. If they wanted to leave the palace, there were generally only a few exceptions, such as staying with the emperor to escape the summer heat, or traveling, and avoiding disasters and offering sacrifices.

Li Zhi once made a visit. In order to force the important minister at the time, Sun Wuji, to agree to make Wu Zetian the queen, Tang Gaozong took Wu Zetian out of the palace to visit the eldest son Wuji's mansion.

But this is rarely the case.

Concubine Yin's going out of the palace this time was specially approved by Li Shimin to reward Li You's contribution, and there was only one month. After this month passed, she had to return to the palace. This was the fate of women in the palace.

However, I want to talk about Li Zhi here, among other things, after Li Zhi became the emperor, he is still a good person. He did not deal with Li Shimin's concubines, but instead regarded these concubines as his elders. When playing, Li Zhi would bring these elders with him, and they would all provide food and drink for them.

Some of the concubines followed their sons to the vassal land. To be honest, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang who started human sacrifices, none of these kings in the Tang Dynasty had ever been martyred.

It can be said that only the Han and Tang did not exist in the entire Chinese history. The emperor of the Han Dynasty banned it but the princes and kings liked it very much. The Tang Dynasty really did not have such a perverted system. The concubine of Tang Wuzong was not officially forced. To be precise, it should be It was a voluntary sacrifice.

Human martyrdom started again from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang. When the beggar emperor died, he buried 46 concubines at one time. At that time, he felt that he was going to die. Zhu Yuanzhang called his grandson Zhu Yunqi to him and told him that all the concubines who had no children were buried. , to bury them around my mausoleum, and let them serve me forever and ever.

How dare Zhu Yunqi go against his grandfather's wishes, so after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he resolutely restored the sacrificial burial system.

After reorganizing Zhu Yuanzhang's inner palace, it was found that 46 concubines had no children, which met the requirements for burial.So I called them before me and said, according to the last emperor's last order, you need to follow the emperor to another world.Many women were only in their twenties, and they did not want to be buried alive, so they resisted.

But Emperor Jianwen ordered the eunuchs to give them a whole body if they were willing to bury them alive.

Those who were unwilling to be buried alive were forced to drink mercury, and then died of heavy metal poisoning.Some directly ordered the eunuch to strangle them to death with a foot of white silk.In short, no one was spared, and all followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the underworld.

In order to show that he was still a benevolent emperor, Emperor Jianwen gave some silver in the homes of these buried concubines, and some even gave them some official positions.The living people enjoyed happiness because of them, but those young concubines did not enjoy the joy of life.

Many people say that he did such a thing because Zhu Yuanzhang was a cowherd boy and a beggar. From the cowherd boy to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has gone through many ups and downs, and of course he has tempered his decisive and suspicious character .

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had enjoyed the glory and wealth all his life, was very afraid that after his death, no one would serve him, and he would become a lonely ghost.

That's why these people were buried as sacrifices and continued to serve themselves in the underworld. In fact, this view is untenable. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang really started the sacrifice of people is actually because of the lessons learned from the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and other dynasties.

His grandson is too cowardly, he wants to pave the way for his grandson.

Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Empress Qi in the Yuan Dynasty, and Yang Guozhong, a foreign relative in the Tang Dynasty, are all future threats to Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, although he made an explicit order prohibiting the harem from interfering in politics at the beginning of the founding of the country.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, this is not enough.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi who succeeded him was young, and he was likely to be disturbed by his relatives. In order to prevent the phenomenon of the harem meddling in politics after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang simply ordered all his concubines to be buried.

Of course, even considering the social atmosphere and harem meddling in politics, we cannot avoid the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang, a reckless emperor, did not shy away from using bloody means to maintain his rule.

In this regard, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty completely broke the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

"You tell the truth to me, is it okay for King Qi?" This was Concubine Yin's voice full of worry.

"Please don't worry, Madam, I have already checked the pulse several times. Your Highness is fine and in very good health." The other voice was also an old acquaintance, the imperial physician Ling Hu Dake.

"Then why the three of Zhixi are still not pregnant. During this period of time, I have thought of everything I can think of, and Youer is also very cooperative with me. Originally, I thought that when I returned to the palace, I would definitely listen to it." Good news, but there is no movement yet.

Don't you know that Dr. Hu, Bengong has been dreaming of a little doll every night for the past few days. She looks really good-looking, and her appearance and appearance are exactly the same as Youer's when she was a child.

Seeing Bengong, he went around and called Bengong's grandmother, saying that he should pick her up. When Bengong wanted to pick her up, she disappeared. Bengong was really uncomfortable. "

After Hu Dake listened to Concubine Yin's words, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you think about it every day, and you think about it at night. Your Majesty really wants to see her next generation, so she has this dream.

However, this dream is auspicious, maybe just before the empress enters the palace, I think there should be good news. "

"Really...?" Concubine Yin was overjoyed: "If it's true, it would be really great. However, King Qi really has no problem, what aspect?"

With a slight smile, Hu Dake nodded: "There is no problem at all."

At this moment, a nanny walked in and bowed and said, "Mother, Xiaoniang Shao is here.!"
