Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 680
Li Zhi took out a copy of the above watch and handed it to Wu Meiniang, with skillful movements, it was not the first time to see it, and Wu Meiniang took the above watch in her hand and looked at it without any psychological burden.

This is a table from the south. It says that I accidentally found a fairy fruit. It is golden yellow and sweet in the mouth. After eating, it makes people feel ecstatic.

After Wu Meiniang finished reading, she drew a cross directly.

"Hey Mei Niang, why did you draw a cross? It's a fairy fruit. I want to ask you how to send this fairy fruit to Youzhou for the emperor to eat!"

Li Zhi's surprised look made Wu Meiniang smile: "Prince, this look is fake, just to ask you for money. Although I don't know what that yellow fruit is, it may be delicious, but it is definitely not a fairy fruit." .

If it was a fairy fruit, he would have ate it secretly by himself. He reported it in order to collect travel expenses or rewards from the imperial court. For such a table, just cross it! "

"Oh." Li Zhi nodded slightly.

After that, Li Zhi handed other lists to Wu Meiniang. In these lists, there was an old woman who collected money without hesitation, a certain official donated a bridge to build roads, and some chaste and martyr. They were so eloquent, all of which were not nutritious. Content.

Wu Meiniang can handle these contents very quickly and well.

Ha ha, some people may ask, this is the imperial court's official statement, is it all these things?These things are absolutely rubbish.

In fact, many of the emperor's records are such rubbish records, which is not wrong. In fact, our country's museums have published many records, that is, the contents of memorials.

Among them, there are the most memorials in the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi is a memorial madman. In everyone's impression, the memorials are written about major events related to the country's plans, of course, including "whispering" between the emperor and ministers.

In fact, many of these memorials are just a procedure. Many memorials are like today's spam text messages, which harass the emperor all day long and can't sleep at night. Many diligent emperors get up at five or six every morning to go to court. You have to discuss political affairs with your courtiers.

It was tiring, and some of the courtiers were crazy monsters who submitted memorials, such as Zhao Hongxie, who was simply a model in the memorial circle. It is said that during his 17 years as governor, he had submitted 1176 memorials in total, almost He had to write one copy in five or six days, and the official messenger who delivered the memorial for him had just delivered one, and would send the next one non-stop, not to mention how tired he was.

Moreover, among the more than 1000 memorials, one-tenth of them are greetings. In simple terms, they are greetings to the emperor, asking how the emperor is doing recently, and so on.

Hehe, imagine how helpless the emperor would feel when he saw these memorials. Once the emperor was about to celebrate his birthday, this Zhao Hongxie wrote a memorial to the emperor: "It will be your birthday soon, may I come to Beijing to attend then? "

The emperor replied: "No need."

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the emperor's birthday, and Zhao Hongxie gave another memorial: "Tomorrow is your birthday, can I come and celebrate for you then?"

Now the emperor became very angry, so he made up his mind to write Zhu Zhu's criticism: "Don't come!" So, Zhao Hongxie stopped making fun of himself, and didn't mention the matter of attending the emperor's birthday banquet.

It's really interesting. Li Zhi is just dealing with government affairs, so his above list is all assigned to him. Wang's parents and Li's family are short, super boring, but these boring things, you can't just reply indiscriminately .

After all, these above lists can be regarded as a test for Li Zhi. If you use a perfunctory attitude, Li Zhi will still be flustered when told by Li Shimin. Use the easiest way to deal with these garbage problems.

Not only was it good, but it was also fast, which made Li Zhi a lot easier and was praised, which also made Li Zhi more and more dependent on Wu Meiniang.

After drinking the soup in one go, Wu Meiniang also quickly read the above list given by Li Zhi, and then Wu Meiniang wrote down her opinion on the paper, and Li Zhi only needs to copy it later.

There are not so many crosses, and many opinions still need to be written on the table.

"Oh!" With the help of Wu Meiniang, Li Zhi finally finished a pile of watches, then lay down on the chair and said: "Today's important thing is over, but there will be more in the future, Meiniang, It would be nice if you were always by my side."

It was originally a sigh, but it was a hope in Wu Meiniang's ears. Wu Meiniang came behind Li Zhi, and gently helped Li Zhi massage his head with her silky little hands, saying: "Prince, don't worry!" , as long as the prince is willing, then Meiniang will stay by the prince's side forever, and will never leave!"

What Wu Meiniang said made Li Zhi show a slight smile: "That's great, the biggest idea in my life is to let you, Fifth Brother and Sizi stay by my side.

As long as I have you, then I am the happiest. "

At this time, Wu Meiniang didn't know that in Li Zhi's words, her position was only in the third place. She would realize later that Wu Meiniang, as Li Zhi's bedside person, would always have her position. Not as good as Li You and Li Mingda.

Wu Meiniang smiled slightly: "Prince, I have something to ask you!"

"Say!" Enjoying Wu Meiniang's head massage, Li Zhi said very cheerfully: "As long as you want, I will try my best to help you...!"

But soon Wu Meiniang made a request that made Li Zhi's face green. It turned out that Wu Meiniang had been in the palace for several years. At this time, Li Shimin was not in the palace. She wanted to go out to see her mother.

Li Zhi was dumbfounded by this request. Why? Because in ancient times, concubines were not allowed to leave the palace. If they wanted to leave the palace, they had to get special approval from the emperor. Otherwise, even the empress could not leave the palace at will. He was thrown into the cold palace and was forbidden to leave the palace for life.

Because in ancient times, once she was a concubine, regardless of her status, she belonged to the emperor all her life, and leaving the palace meant getting rid of the identity of the emperor's woman, which was not allowed due to emotion and reason.

Some people say that if she makes a mistake and is demoted to a court lady, is there any possibility that the concubine will be released from the palace after she turns 25?

This is absolutely not impossible. Once a concubine makes a mistake, she will fall out of favor, and her monthly salary will be deducted, or she will be reprimanded, punished to kneel down, etc., or her status will be lowered, her title will be taken away, and even the most serious one will be placed in the cold palace.If the emperor really couldn't tolerate the concubine's fault, then it was generally believed that family ugliness should not be publicized, so he would choose to give death instead of driving the concubine out of the palace.

Generally, there are only a few special cases for leaving the palace:
1. Avoid the heat.For example, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had the habit of going to the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace in summer to escape the heat.There were some concubines who went out of the palace with the emperor.

2. To avoid disaster.Because of the war, Emperor Xianfeng went to the Summer Resort, Empress Dowager Cixi went to Xi'an to avoid disaster, and some concubines also went out of the palace together.

3. Worship.Empress Wu Zetian went out of the palace with Tang Gaozong to worship Mount Tai, and in some dynasties, the emperor went to the Earth Altar to pay homage at the vernal equinox, and the empress would also go out of the palace to accompany according to the etiquette.Or go out of the palace with the emperor to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. This is the treatment that only the queen or the concubine with high status and favor can enjoy.

4. Travel.For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou, Kangxi went to Jiangnan four times, and Qianlong made a tour of the south, all of which brought a large number of concubines out of the palace.

5. Visit abroad.Xiangchen visited and visited patients.During Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was Zhaoyi. In order to force the important minister of the court, Sun Wuji, to agree to make Wu Zetian the empress, Tang Gaozong took Wu Zetian out of the palace to visit the residence of the eldest grandson Wuji.But this is rarely the case.

This is the historical evidence that can be found to let the concubine go out of the palace. At this time, Wu Zetian proposed to let the prince take her out of the palace. This is simply whimsical, and Li Zhi's face is also very green.
