King Wei was sensible early, and he knew that the foundation for his and his mother's survival in the harem was Li Mi.
He also hoped that Li Mi could reach out to protect their mother and son from the wind and rain.
But Li Mi picked up his pants and turned around to leave, treating his woman and children as strangers.
In despair, he instinctively waved his fists to protect his mother.
The word emperor has since become a negative word in his heart.
He started to read.
Once when he heard his husband read history and analyze historical figures, King Wei suddenly became interested.
He started reading history books.
He learned that the original prince was not his Aweng, but a filial piety to the emperor.
What happened to honoring the emperor?
Curious, King Wei and Chang Ding inquired.
Ding Chang told what he knew.
——At the beginning, Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu loved Emperor Filial Piety very much. Whenever Emperor Filial Piety fell ill, the emperor and the queen would be uneasy. Emperor Xuande would even leave the court to personally inquire about the illness and discuss diagnosis and treatment methods with medical officials.
If everything remains unchanged, then no one can shake the status of filial piety to the emperor.
Later, filial piety to the emperor began to observe the government.
Emperor Xuande's eyesight was bad, so Empress Wu came to the court, that is, the two saints came to the court.
Emperor Xuande's illness was good and bad, and he could never recover. Occasionally, he would put aside his political affairs because his illness worsened, so Empress Wu took over the power.
It was at this time that Emperor Xuande ordered the prince to participate in politics.
After the prince, later the filial emperor, joined politics, he constantly made suggestions on various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor and empress were very pleased with this.
It was at this point that Ding Chang sighed and said: "It changed later. The filial emperor was attacked by many parties, but his position remained stable until he was deposed after the filthy chaos in the palace."
In the palace of filth and chaos, it refers to the concubine who was filial to the emperor and was suspected of molesting Emperor Xuande.
Later, Li Yuan became the prince.
Later, the emperor and the empress were poisoned and fell down, and they poisoned the filial emperor.
But later the emperor regretted it.
In other words, the poisoning of the emperor and the empress was not caused by being filial to the emperor.
So, who is it?
King Wei instinctively thought of Li Mi. Only such heartless beasts would kill their relatives.
He didn't say anything, just observed Li Mi silently.
Majestic, personable, versatile...
And good at maneuvering.
This is a heartbreaking emperor.
But in the harem, this man's true nature will be revealed.
Women are just tools for him to vent, and children are just the products of his venting.
In his eyes, there is only himself.
The fat sheep begins to brown.
Li Xuan turned over the pages with a relaxed expression.
"Is it almost done?" King Wei asked.
Li Xuan shook his head, "There is still life inside."
King Wei said: "It's enough if you can eat some."
Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "It's more delicious and juicy inside."
King Wei shook his head, "It's not mine, I'm not interested!"
Li Xuan: "..."
He is ready to make an exchange with his eldest nephew.
He was even willing to leave a place for his eldest nephew somewhere in the Tang Dynasty, which could be regarded as his fief.
But before the exchange even started, this person actually...
"Don't you want to... stand on a high place and look at the world?" Li Xuan asked.
"Looking from a high place, can the world change for you?"
Li Xuan was speechless when King Wei made a joke.
yes!
Even if you are standing on the top of the mountain, everything in the world will still look the same.
King Wei reached out and picked up the knife and cut off a piece of meat.
He handed over the meat.
Li Xuan: "..."
"I owe you this!" King Wei said.
Li Xuan took the roasted meat, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"He has no shame, but I want shame!"
King Wei raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his eyes slightly cold: "There is no need to pity me, and there is no need to regard me as a fool."
Li Xuan and Li Han looked at each other and thought, who dares to treat you as a fool?
"When I was a child, I thought that the emperor was ruthless and unjust. It was only when I grew up that I realized that the emperor was ruthless and unjust. It is rare for someone to reach the level of Aye and regard his wife and children as enemies."
King Wei handed over the empty cup.
Moman, let your uncle pour wine for you?
Li Xuan cursed, and Li Han picked up the wine jar first and poured wine for King Wei.
"I looked at Aye coldly, watching him shamelessly take away the prince's wife, watching him sleep with his daughter-in-law, watching him treat the prince as a plaything... At that moment, I thought to myself,
It is really a shame to the Li family that such a person sits on the throne."
My eldest nephew is really different!
"I have a thought!"
King Wei looked at Li Xuan and said, "Get him down!"
He stood up and said, "I can't do it anymore, come here!"
He turned and left.
Steady steps.
But there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
What he experienced in the palace since childhood was the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the fratricide between father and son. After leaving the palace, he met two good friends, Li Xuan and Li Han.
From then on, he was alone.
No, I still have a wife and children.
Escape with your wife and children to a remote place to hunt and farm...
End this life.
King Wei was proud and refused to bow his head to ask for help. Therefore, even if he held Jiagu Pass, he still refused to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for anything.
"Why!"
Li Xuan turned around and said, "The fat sheep is too big. How can I finish it by myself?"
…
The door was always open, but the garrison at the top of the city was as frightened as a bird, and was extra vigilant.
"What do you think will happen if Guanzhong is still in Li Mi's hands?" Han Ji asked.
This is a difficult question. He Lianrong said: "He only holds Guanzhong and Shu, but what about a group of nobles in Guanzhong who eat meat and drink blood? How can they just sit back and watch?"
"But there is no way Li Mi can counterattack!" Han Ji really disdained Li Mi.
"Yes, Li Mi cannot counterattack. But there is a problem." He Lianrong touched his bald head, "What will happen to those noble people?"
"What do you want to say?"
"What do you think they will do when they feel they have less food and are hungry?"
"Design to the rebels?"
"That's right."
As for the option of seeking refuge with the King of Qin, the two of them tacitly ignored it.
For the big families, King Qin had a lot of criminal records. If possible, they would rather let Shi Zhongtang, a foreigner, rule the world than Li Xuan, the son of the former prince.
"In other words, His Highness actually saved the false emperor?"
The two looked at each other, both feeling speechless at this discovery.
Ning Yayun flicked her tail, "For Zitai, it may not be a bad thing for the pseudo-emperor and his son to be alive."
At this time, someone shouted after closing the door: "Hey!"
"What are you doing?" someone asked here.
"Come in!"
"What?"
"Come in quickly!"
"What happened?" Han Ji's heart tightened.
I'm so numb that I can't believe the bastard who pretends to be an emperor.
The man who closed the door shouted: "We are all drunk and fighting. Come and get out of here quickly!"
Hundreds of riders rushed in first, and then someone sent a message.
"There is no trap."
Lao Shuai Guo was the first to enter, followed by Qiu Long Wei.
A guard of Li Han was waiting for them awkwardly, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
When everyone arrived at King Wei's station, they heard a constant rumbling sound before entering.
"Is this... demolishing a house?" He Lianrong asked, blinking.
“You’ll know when you go in and take a look.”
All the way to the back, I saw King Wei and King Qin hugging each other and wrestling.
The two of them had bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and Li Han was giggling next to them.
The surrounding buildings collapsed, and the scene was horrific.
"This is……"
Yang Lue came over.
"It's okay, it's better to fight."
The cause of the matter is not complicated.
Li Xuan and King Wei poured wine into each other. While drinking, they talked about whether the mutton should be roasted tenderer or older. Somehow, the grudge between the two families was involved.
"King Wei wanted to go to the far north, but His Highness refused, so they started fighting." Yang Lue looked strange.
Going to the far north has some meaning to atone for sins and some to avoid grievances.
King Wei actually wanted to escape?
But Li Xuan didn't allow it, it was because of friendship and loyalty.
For Yang Lue, it would be best if all the puppet emperor's bastards died, but at this moment he rarely said a kind word for King Wei, "This man is a pity."
No.
If King Wei is not a prince, even if he is a royal son like Li Han, he will definitely become Li Xuan's right-hand man from now on.
The two people lay on the ground exhausted, panting.
"Get your wife and children first!"
If you drink too much and fight, you will feel particularly weak.
Even worse than kidney deficiency.
"Leave them in Chang'an." King Wei said.
The two looked at the blue sky in a daze.
"The far north is not interesting, mainly because no one is killing." Li Xuan was a little dizzy, "Let's see when the time comes! I happen to want people to explore overseas. If you are interested, you can take charge of this matter."
"Interesting?" King Wei asked.
"There are big fish in the sea, incredibly big. There are also countless edible delicacies, such as king crabs, hairtail fish, swimming crabs, prawns, sea urchins... Tsk!"
Li Xuan touched the corner of his mouth, but there was no saliva, "The sea is blue and boundless as far as the eye can see."
"Okay, I'll go!"
King Wei was moved.
"only……"
"Just what?"
"If we encounter strong winds and waves, we will basically explain it."
"Are there many strong winds and waves?"
"It seems quite a lot."
King Wei: "..."
…
The fertile wilderness in Guanzhong is thousands of miles away. This is not an exaggeration.
But most of this fertile land belongs to the nobles.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the population of Guanzhong was declining, so it was possible to implement the military system and make farming and warfare unparalleled.
The dynasty is like flowing water, moving forward slowly.
Every year new noble people are born.
What is a noble person?
There must be power in hand.
But those who only have power are fools... These words were said by Liang Jing one day after drinking too much. After these words were spoken, countless noble people hated him to death.
Must have money!
But money is what the nouveau riche pursue.
We pursue the land that can be passed down to future generations for thousands of years...the land!
Think about it, the vast hectares of fertile land at home will generate income every year, this is a cornucopia!
But what should I do if the fields all have owners?
Find a way to take it away!
As soon as the noble man opened his mouth, the local officials took action with a flattering smile.
As a result, Datang gained a group of landless refugees, as well as a family whose family fortune gradually expanded.
When there were more and more such noble people, most of the fields in Guanzhong became their property.
Therefore, the military system that made the Tang Dynasty proud in the world collapsed.
The Ma family is one of the great families in Guanzhong.
After the rebels broke through Jiagu Pass, news came from Chang'an that the emperor was going to run away.
Run to Shu.
This is a signal, anyone who has the strength can come.
As for the people, I'm sorry, but do you have enough food at home to feed you all the way?
not enough!
Then why are you here?
This is a scene you can't get involved in. Go home and stay alone.
Almost all the powerful and powerful families in Chang'an were dispatched.
The Ma family was more than fifty miles away from Chang'an. After learning the news, Ma Hongzhong and his son Ma Xi discussed it for a while, hesitated again and again, and decided not to leave.
"Bobei and South are gone. His Majesty is probably doomed. Even if he can continue to be king, I dare say that he will not be the emperor."
Early in the morning, Ma Hongzhong took a walk in his yard with his hands behind his back.
Two maids followed behind, one holding a spittoon and the other a teapot.
"Aye."
My son Maxi is here.
"how?"
After Shi Zhongtang led the main force out of Guanzhong for a decisive battle, Guanzhong fell into a strange calm.
Except for inquiring about information, all the major clans have stopped external activities.
They are all waiting with bated breath for the outcome of this battle that will determine the destiny of Datang.
Ma Xi went out today to inquire about news.
"Aye, King Wei has captured Jiagu Pass!"
The news brought by Ma Xi shocked Ma Hong.
"Your Majesty went to Shu. Before leaving, he made King Wei the crown prince and the marshal of the world's troops. But who doesn't know that he is a fool who takes the blame? But this salted fish actually turned over?"
Ma Hongzhong patted his forehead in disbelief, and then his expression changed.
"Guanzhong is too complicated, the water is too muddy, and King Wei is too young to be able to grasp it. Oh no, His Majesty will definitely return. That man is ruthless, and he will definitely take revenge once he regains control of Guanzhong!"
Ma Xi wiped his sweat and said, "That's what I think. Aye, what should we do now? If we express our allegiance again, Ma's face will be lost."
"My son, compared with glory and wealth, which one is more important?" Ma Hongzhong asked.
Ma Xi struggled for a moment and said, "Prosperity and wealth."
"Isn't that what it is?" Ma Hongzhong said: "Quickly, let's go after your majesty with money and donate it to your majesty through Han Shitou. Just say that I am seriously ill and cannot follow your majesty out of the country... However, my condition has improved. There are many, and I will come to serve His Majesty immediately."
"good!"
Go to Maxi to make arrangements.
Ma Hongzhong's walking pace slowed down a bit, and he said with relief: "I was worried about how to get close to Shi Zhongtang, but now it seems that I can't do it anymore. Although His Majesty knows the reason why we don't leave, he has too many opponents. The world is full of opponents. He cannot escape the blame for the chaos that has arisen. In this way, if you can win over one person, then it’s just one person... Ma family, that’s it!”
He felt relieved, and with a roar, the maid came forward holding a spittoon.
"Pooh!"
Ma Hongzhong patted his chest happily and said, "Let me prepare some wine. I will celebrate. Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty and to Your Majesty!"
Maxi came back in a hurry.
"Aye."
"What, you smelled my wine?" Ma Hongzhong said with a smile.
"Aye, King Wei has surrendered Jiagu Pass. King Qin has entered the pass!"
