Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 636 Wu Cairen and Prince Li

Chang'an East Palace Li Zhi leaned on his chair and looked at the scenery outside the window. Outside the window at this time, Li Xiang, Li Jue and Li Heng were playing happily. This uncle Li Zhi was still very conscientious and often brought three A nephew and niece came to play in his East Palace.

However, at this time, Li Zhi looked at his nephew and niece, but he thought of his fifth brother and younger sister in his mind.

"Fifth brother and Sizi, I don't know if it's going well in Lingnan!" Li Zhi sighed slightly. In fact, Li Zhi wanted to go to Lingnan with Li You. Li Zhi liked to stay by Li You and Li Mingda's side, but With his status as a prince, he can't go anywhere.

During this period of time, Li Zhi has been diligently learning how to deal with government affairs under the guidance of Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Chu Suiliang and Li Shimin, and Changsun Wuji also whispered something about Li You in Li Zhi's ears from time to time. The thing, between the lines, is to make Li Zhi beware of Li You.

To be honest, Li Zhi was very annoyed by such a grandson Wuji, but when Li You left, he told Li Zhi that he must not fight against Changsun Wuji, he must be obedient, and when necessary, he would scold himself a few times, although Not very happy, but Li Zhi believes in his fifth brother.

He has been arguing with his eldest grandson Wuji all the time, and slowly shows a slight distrust towards Li You on the surface, but in his heart, the only person Li Zhi trusts most is Li You.

"Uncle Jiu, come out and play, we need you."

Suddenly, Li Heng shouted outside.

This shout directly dispelled Li Zhi's longing, and then he saw Li Zhi shouting with a smile: "What do you need me to do?"

"We're going to play peek-a-boo. There are already people to hide, and there is only one person to find. Uncle Jiu will be the one to find it?" Li Heng looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile.

"Okay, but if Uncle Jiu finds me, I'll have to squeak for 5 minutes." After finishing speaking, Li Zhi smiled and showed Li Heng a tickling gesture.

Li Heng grinned: "Yes. However, if you don't find it, Uncle Jiu will come to Heng'er's birthday party!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Zhi was taken aback, and quickly said 'oh': "Heng'er's sixth birthday is here, oh, I'm really busy this time, Uncle Jiu even forgot about this, okay. Uncle Jiu must go to Heng'er's Zongjiao to celebrate his birthday today."

In ancient times, children from three to six years old were called Zongjiao.

"Okay!" Li Heng clapped his little hands happily, and then Li Xiang said with a smile: "Then Uncle Nine, close your eyes quickly, we're going to hide!"

"Okay!" Li Zhi laughed, then closed his eyes and said, "It's the same as before, the range is within this hall, don't leave the hall...!"

"Understood." The children shouted happily, and immediately searched for their hiding places with a smile on their faces. Just at this time, Li Ji walked in, and Li Heng bumped into Li Ji's arms with a smile.

Just as Li Ji wanted to speak, Li Heng hurriedly booed Li Ji: "Grandpa Li, don't make a sound, uncle Jiu is coming to see us, you can't betray me."

After speaking, Li Heng hid directly behind Li Ji.

Li Ji smiled slightly at this time, and he was also standing at the entrance of the hall, and he made Li Heng's cover with a smile. You must know that Li Ji likes Li Heng very much, not because Li Heng is Li You's daughter. To be honest, Li You is here In Li Ji's heart, he was nothing but a prince, and if he had more, he would be a better prince, that's all.

Li Ji likes Li Heng because of Li Heng's innocence and cuteness. Li Ji has a majesty and a murderous aura. This majesty and murderous aura make Li Ji's children and grandchildren basically respect Li Ji without any affection.

You must know that the elderly are very old and long for the family affection of their children and grandchildren, but Li Ji can only pretend as a superior. The father and grandfather of the ancients are like this, but Li Heng is different. When I first met Li Ji, Li Ji With a straight face, Li Heng threw himself directly into Li Ji's arms, and called out Grandpa Li sweetly.

Just such a sentence of Grandpa Li, although Li Ji's face has not changed much, but the bottom of his heart has been warmed up. Fundamentally, Li Ji has a different kind of concern for Li Heng's feelings.

I still remember a time when Li Heng went to the palace to see Concubine Yin, but for some reason, he walked into the place where the prime ministers were working. You must know that the prime ministers did not just come to the place where they were doing business. It happened that the stern Li Ji and Ma Zhou were there that day.

If he was caught, at least he would be punished, but when Li Heng called out Grandpa Li Ji and Li Ji, facing the Jinwu Guard who was going to arrest Li Heng, Li Ji loudly reprimanded and shouted: "Get out, it's your country's responsibility!" The Lord asked the county lord to come, whoever dares to talk too much can come to the Lord!" After speaking, he went to hug Li Heng in his arms.

The Jin Wuwei left immediately in a desperate state.

Following Ma Zhou also walked over, looked at Li Heng and frowned, and said, "How could the little county master come here, and as soon as the little county master came, Jin Wuwei came, is there something going on here?"

Li Ji didn't speak, he carried Li Heng to his seat, and handed the winter melon candy to Li Heng with a smile. Li Heng also took it with a smile, and then kissed Li Ji's face. The slobbering little hand stroked Li Ji's white beard. Instead of being angry, Li Ji smiled happily.

This scene really made Ma Zhou a little dumbfounded. When would Li Ji be so kind to a child? If others believed Thaksik, Li Ji would be really unbelievable.

Because everyone knows that Li Ji is not an ordinary person. Li Ji's early life experience is very exciting: he was a rogue thief at the age of twelve and three, and killed everyone he met; Joined the Wagang Army, defected to Datang at the age of 17, and was granted the titles of General Manager of Liyang, Duke of Shangzhu, and Duke of Lai (later changed to Duke of Cao and Duke of Yingying, and Du Ruhui, the former Duke of Cai, was granted the title of Duke of Lai after his death).

Killing and setting fire to the golden belt, this sentence couldn't be more appropriate when applied to Li Ji.

Regardless of whether Li Ji is called Xu Shiji or Xu Maogong, he has never been a Taoist priest for a day. From being brave and ruthless to being resourceful, to being scheming and ruthless, it is clearly recorded in the history books: In order to protect the family, Li Ji did everything. Can do it.

You must know that Li Ji was a thief when he was young, and he knows that the imperial court is also a river and lake, and it may be more dangerous than the rivers and lakes; although Li Ji has never been a Taoist priest, he also knows that "dead Taoist friends will never die poor Taoists" is an official protection talisman that has not changed for thousands of years.

In the sixth year of Yonghui (655), Tang Gaozong Li Zhi wanted to abolish the queen and establish Wu Meiniang. Most of the important officials in the court opposed it.

Chu Suiliang is an outstanding calligrapher, but he is not a qualified politician. In order to protect his eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, he became the head rafter himself, which angered Wu Meiniang and temporarily dispelled Li Zhi's idea of ​​abolishing the future.

But he didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by Li Ji: "In the future, Li Ji came to see him and asked, "I want to make Wu Zhaoyi the empress, but Suiliang insisted that it was impossible. Suiliang took care of the minister, so let's just leave it at that?" ’ Conversation said: ‘Your Majesty’s family affairs, why ask outsiders more!’ Shangyi decided.”

If Li Ji keeps silent, no one can say that he is meaningful enough, but his words with deep meaning not only strengthened Li Zhi's determination after the dethronement, but also betrayed Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang in disguise. As a result, Li Ji became the canonized Wu Meiniang Chu Suiliang was first demoted as the governor of Tanzhou, and then the governor of Aizhou, and then died in depression; Changsun Wuji was even more sad, he was directly ransacked by Wu Zetian and "forced to hang himself" If he dies, he will lose his family. Since Wuji has made great achievements, his death is not a crime, and the world mourns it to this day."

In order to cater to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Li Ji did not hesitate to cheat hundreds of members of Changsun Wuji's family, and also put the fate of the Tang Dynasty in danger. This was his first ruthless trick to save the lives of his family: death Friends are not dead and poor, as long as my family is undefeated, I don't care about the rise and fall of the country!

Ma Zhou knew Li Ji very well, so he was amazed to see that Li Ji scolded the Jinwu Guard for Li Heng and protected Li Heng. Ma Zhou wanted to protect Li Heng himself, but he didn't Think of it, really didn't think of it.

Of course, Li Zhi lost this peek-a-boo. Li Zhi would never have thought that Li Heng would hide behind Li Ji, because who would dare? After cutting it once, even Li Zhi couldn't stand the blood on his body. Li Zhi would never have thought that Li Heng would be so close to Li Ji, and what was even more unexpected was that Li Ji would be so fond of Li Heng.

A peek-a-boo game ended with Li Zhi losing. At this time, Li Ji came, so it was time for Li Zhi to go to class. Li Xiang took Li Jue and Li Heng home. When returning, Li Heng also invited Li Ji In the evening, I went to Dunhuafang to attend her birthday party.

Li Ji agreed, and he agreed happily.

Li Zhi was also amazed when he saw it. When it was night, what Li Zhi never expected was that although tonight was only for him to celebrate his birthday, it was also a lucky moment for him.

Because just today, Li Zhi saw the person he had been yearning for all this time in a place other than the palace, who is Wu Zhao, no, it should be Wu Meiniang now.

Since Wu Meiniang is now a talented person in the palace, we also know the work of a talented person. Today Wu Meiniang was sent by Li Shimin to help organize Li Heng's birthday party to show his favor to Li You.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't have any free time to attend Li Heng's birthday party during this time. After all, for Li Shimin, Li Heng didn't have his own blood, so he could send Wu Meiniang to take care of it, which was already a great deal of face.

During this period of time, Li Shimin has been actively mobilizing troops and condemning generals, because Li Shimin is going to fight Goguryeo, and all the focus is on Goguryeo, and even Li Zhi's teachings are slightly behind.

But Li Shimin would not have imagined that his relaxation would actually lead to this Wu Meiniang. If Li You in Lingnan knew that Li Shimin would send Wu Meiniang to organize Li Heng's birthday party for him, he would definitely refuse.

It's a pity that things in the world are very unpredictable. Wu Meiniang met Li Zhi today, and the Wu Meiniang who met Li Zhi at this time is different from the previous Wu Meiniang. What is different will be explained next time.
