Chapter 144 Queen
Something big happened in Chang'an.
A big thing that attracts everyone's attention.
Whether it is the high-ranking officials and nobles in wealthy families or the peddlers and pawns on the streets and alleys, they are all talking about this major event with great enthusiasm.
The emperor who ascended the throne for five years finally has an empress.
The enthusiasm of Chang'an people to talk about this matter is exactly the same as their support for His Majesty the Emperor. In everyone's mind, His Majesty the Emperor is now a talented and wise ruler and benevolent. Not to mention anything else, his achievements alone are enough to be famous throughout the ages.
In the early years, the eunuchs were killed, the powerful ministers were eliminated, and then the Huang Chao rebellion was quelled, and the rebellious princes were quelled. They also regained the ancestral territory occupied by foreign races. After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, they even practiced the exercises, expanded their territory, and overwhelmed the four barbarians...
All kinds of legendary stories can be talked about in three days and three nights.
Such an emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, and everyone will only think it is rightful and likes it. Maybe he has to write some legends and praise them in a roundabout way. But His Majesty has never accepted a concubine, which makes people very surprised. After all, His Majesty is still so young, and this matter is completely unreasonable.
There are people who are flirting among the neighbors who once swear to rumor that Your Majesty is not good at women and men. In order to prove his inference, he also said with confidence that Your Majesty has a lot of contact with King Qi and is intimate when traveling, so he definitely has a secret that is not worthy of being told by outsiders.
At first, everyone didn't believe this kind of thing, but felt it was hindering His Majesty's glorious image in his mind. Later, the three of them became tigers, and more and more people gradually believed it.
Anyway, male style is not a very strange thing. There are only two types of people in the world, except for women, there are men. His Majesty does not like women and men, and it seems that there is nothing unreasonable. There are many people from high-ranking and prominent families who are good at this?
For this reason, I don’t know how many women from a prominent family background were waiting to marry into the boudoir and sacked their handkerchiefs. Officials from the Ministry of Rites were even more heartbroken and tried to tell His Majesty that it was time to choose a palace maid and a beauty, but His Majesty always pretended not to see it.
The censors who have always advised the emperor to choose beauties less and get less women into the palace are now looking at His Majesty, hoping that he will "due the people and hurt the money" and "due the people and hurt the money" as soon as possible.
Some old women who are kind-hearted and have nothing to do have to pray to God every day in the morning and evening, so that a few fairies who can be seen by His Majesty will come... This is a major event that has been related to the Tang Dynasty for generations.
In short, after the news that the emperor wanted to have an empress, Chang'an City became a boiling sound.
Everyone was very excited. They tried to find out who the queen was, and they could actually change His Majesty's heart that only likes men. This was a great achievement for the Tang Dynasty. They must be respected, worshiped, and thanked.
There are many well-informed people in Chang'an City, and soon someone learned from officials of the Ministry of Rites that the queen is Princess Li! Who is Princess Li? Why haven't you seen him in these years? So the deeds about Princess Li soon spread in Chang'an City.
What about your childhood sweethearts? When Your Majesty was determined not to practice, he still stayed with you every day. For Your Majesty, he did not hesitate to block the Taoist Sect's Sword, and was reshaped and possessed the body of an immortal, helping Your Majesty win over the demon clan, and has been fighting for Your Majesty in the Immortal Realm for many years.
One story after another was spreading so magical that it aroused the praise of countless people. In the end, everyone gave a thumbs up and agreed that the princess was definitely the good match for His Majesty. Who else could be the queen than Princess Li?
Later, Kunlun reopened, and the princess descended to the earth was heard from the monks. Only then did the people of Chang'an learn that His Majesty did not accept the concubine and was always waiting for the princess to descend to the earth!
This deep affection immediately made countless sentimental and yearning for a good husband automatically imagine countless touching scenes, and each of them made themselves cry, so Princess Li's popularity reached its peak.
On the day when the emperor married Princess Li and enthroned her as the queen, Chang'an City was crowded with people, and the lively level was even greater than that of the Shangyuan Festival.
During the Lantern Festival, although everyone likes to come out to watch the lantern market, older people will not go out easily and cannot walk anymore. If you don’t like lively people, you can only watch your own lanterns.
But this time it's different.
The marriage between His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Li is both of the country and the attractiveness of the city. People in Chang'an take their families to the streets, wanting to see the queen's true face and see what kind of stunning woman it is, so that His Majesty can wait for five years.
Of course, those who finally saw Princess Li's face were all real dignitaries and most of them knew Princess before. Ordinary people even moved in the ocean of crowds. It was a great luck to be able to see the figures of the emperor and the queen after stretching their necks.
Although I didn’t see the queen’s true appearance, everyone was very disappointed, but the grand scene still made up for everyone’s regrets. In fact, everyone is here to join in the fun and participate first, and just have topics to talk after they go back.
But this time, the three provinces and six ministries were obviously working hard, making the etiquette impeccable and making the scenes bigger. Not to mention anything else, just by giving away various rewards, many people gained wealth equivalent to half a year of income.
This unprecedented big move also confirms the unparalleled power of the Tang Dynasty today, making the people of Chang'an extremely satisfied. All kinds of sounds of praise continue until dusk like waves.
The ministers finally fulfilled their wish of "destroying the people and losing money". They were all twisting their beards, smiling happily, and even saluted and congratulated each other, looking like they were "celebrating each other with a "sweeping the crown".
Of course, after the people of Chang'an returned, they could not help brag about how close they were to the queen and the queen. They saw with their own eyes how majestic His Majesty was and how beautiful the empress was, and they agreed with each other.
After both of them were satisfied, everyone would go to a restaurant and have a banquet with the rewards from the court, continue to praise His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, the queen's virtues, or buy fat chickens and sheep and go back, have a delicious meal with their wives and children, and enjoy the joy of the world.
......
After Wu You was awarded the title of queen, the palace city finally gained a lot of vitality and was no longer as deserted as before. While dealing with political affairs, Li Ye had all kinds of pastries brought by Wu You, and his body and mind would be relaxed. When he had nothing to do, he would be in a much happier mood.
Sometimes, even if Li Ye looked at Wu You with his hands on his hips, he would teach the palace maids and eunuchs seriously, and rectify the harem with a loose discipline, he would not help but show a warm and gentle smile.
But I don’t know what happened, but the leisure food that the queen brought in was basically a bowl of Tremella lotus seed soup, and there was a lot of sugar, which made Li Ye complain.
Later, after asking the reason, I realized that this was something that Emperor Taizong's queen Changsun liked to do. Wu You determined to become a virtuous queen of a generation, so naturally he had to take Changsun as a model, first learn to imitate, and then seek to transcend.
When Wu You said this, he waved his fist seriously, and Li Ye felt that this matter was unlikely. However, when Wu You arrived in front of the eunuch palace maid, he did not have any attitude of his little daughter. He was very respected by both kindness and power, and Li Ye also felt that Wu You had a promising future.
Simply put, with the Empress Wu You, Li Ye's life has been much more comfortable.
"Zhang Changan has already left Yumen Pass?"
When Li Ye received the news from Song Jiao, he was a little surprised by the speed of the other party's itinerary. It seemed that after receiving the transfer order, Zhang Changan almost did not stop, and it could be said that he was traveling day and night. "Have you given the manpower and information he should have given him?"
"When he passed by Yumen Pass, he had already given it to him."
Song Jiao hesitated for a moment and asked: "Since you said that Zhang Chang'an has the potential to be a prime minister, why did you let him spend two years on the grassland? It would be fine if you didn't promote him to serve in the central government this time, why did you still let him go to the dangerous places in the Western Regions?"
Li Ye put down the note in his hand and looked at Song Jiao strangely, "Since he is the candidate for the prime minister, he naturally needs to be well-designed. The road to prosperity can cultivate pillars who cannot go abroad. He suffers his mind and mind, exhausts his muscles and bones, starves his body, and is empty in his body. He practices the Buddha and his actions, so he can move his heart and endures his nature and increase his ability. This is the meaning of the question."
After punishing Qian Shilang of the Ministry of War, Li Ye did not immediately promote Zhang Chang'an's official position, but deliberately honed his mind. However, Li Ye did not send a governor to Gesangzhou, which actually gave Zhang Chang'an the experience of being in charge of the country, which could be said to be without delaying each other.
"The battle with the Great Food is a major event for the country, so Zhang Chang'an naturally has to participate, but how to participate, how to maximize his talents and let him learn more requires good life arrangements.
"Today, he has led troops to fight wars and presided over the government affairs of one party. His achievements are very good. Now it is necessary to let him contact the Qingyi Yamen. He can also fight directly with the Cannibal and understand the Cannibal. There is no need to say much about the benefits."
Li Ye said, beating the table with his fingers, "With these experiences, he will be in a high position in the future and look at the problems more comprehensively. Being able to know the existence status and how to handle the affairs of each yamen will also help coordinate all parties."
Song Jiao frowned, "Aren't you afraid of using him too hard and using it badly?"
"Not to it." Li Ye smiled, "I know it in my heart. Besides, if you want to be the prime minister, your mind will naturally be much more tenacious than others."
Li Ye also considered the reason for letting Zhang Changan leave the grassland at this time. Before this, suppression and tempering of him was not enough, but if he continued to stay in the grassland state, the other party's passion would be really worn away.
Passion is not as good as ethics or personality. This thing cannot withstand too long cooling. It will freeze over time and will never thaw again.
Most of the people who can die for the country are young people. They have never seen anyone who is in trouble and suffers from the dark side of society. After they have no body to die, they still sacrifice their lives for the country.
What else Song Jiao wanted to say, Li Ye had waved his hand and signaled that the other party didn't have to say much.
Zhang Chang'an has the potential to be a prime minister, but he is not the only candidate for prime minister. For Li Ye, whether the other party can finally reach that position depends on himself. Choosing the best is the quality that the emperor Li Ye must have. People who cannot withstand the tempering and test cannot rule the officials of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Li Ye thought Song Jiao should leave, but he was ready to continue reviewing the memorials. He picked up the jade pen and found that the other party had no intention of leaving, and the look he looked at him was a little wrong.
Li Ye was so quick-witted that he suddenly realized that Song Jiao had a dispute with him about Zhang Changan, and his fundamental intention was not to speak up for Zhang Changan or fight for anything for him.
She is the chief commander of the Qingyi Yamen, and she is not a matter of Pingzhang, the subordinate of the Secretariat. Zhang Chang'an is not close to her, so it is not her turn to say so much for her.
So Song Jiao has not left, just to shake it in front of Li Ye for a while to show her presence.
Realizing this, Li Ye understood why Song Jiao looked at her and revealed a faint resentment. It was clearly saying that if you have a queen, you will no longer pay attention to me? You are a heartless person.
