In the past, she only hoped that she could live a peaceful life with her future husband. Later, when the Sui Dynasty disappeared and the Tang Dynasty came, she was married by the emperor to the prince who was a concubine, the King of Chu. At that time, she could not say in her heart whether
Happy or disappointed.
She may be happy because her future husband has a very distinguished status, but she may be disappointed because she doesn't know whether she can get along well with her future husband.
Her grandmother told her that a noble girl can only marry a noble family.
So, she acquiesced.
When her husband came to visit her for the first time, she pretended to be a maid and sewed her future husband's clothes stitch by stitch to help him put them on.
Surprising fit.
At that time, although my husband was young, he was upright and heroic.
She felt in her heart that marrying him seemed acceptable.
Later, they got married. Although there was no affection at all before marriage, her husband liked her very much and did many things for her.
The days after marriage were her happiest days before she gave birth to Zhao'er.
And her heart is tightly tied to her husband.
He went on an expedition and had trouble sleeping day and night.
He was overjoyed when he came back.
He is greedy for pleasure, and she is angry and bitter.
However, before Zhaoer was born, her husband's care and love for her made her heart as sweet as soaked in honey.
Later, her husband made great contributions in foreign wars many times, and the court continued to reward her. Her status in the circle of ladies in Chang'an became higher and higher. And because of the benefits of soap, she had the confidence to run the house and kept the house in order.
At that time, she thought that she should be happy in her life. She had a husband who loved her and a pair of children.
That's enough!
However, in mid-March, something happened and she was pushed to the position of crown princess. In the future, she may very well become the mother-in-law of the world.
All this happened too fast. Even though her husband had given her some psychological training before, she still couldn't fully adapt to it.
And her husband became the prince.
In the future, he will ascend the throne and become emperor.
When the time comes, he will be both a king and a husband.
Can you do it yourself?
At this moment, Li Zhiyun gently grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
"Since I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I will always be your husband."
Hearing this, the Crown Princess smiled, blooming like a delicate flower.
She knew that her husband would never forget his original intention.
A few days later, Pei's daughter and her aunt Yang Mudan were admitted to the East Palace by Prince Li Zhiyun.
Under Li Zhiyun's control, the matter about Aunt Na did not ferment. Because at this time, another big news broke out in Chang'an.
Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhaojun returns to court!
Under the vigorous publicity of Chang'an novel newspapers, the people's attention shifted from the Tang Dynasty prince to Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun.
Therefore, when Li Xiaogong and others entered Chang'an, they were really shocked by the welcoming ceremony arranged by the Ministry of Rites.
There were huge crowds of people, cheering and cheering.
Li Xiaogong, who was riding on the horse, felt very proud. His Royal Highness, after all, still values me.
When he returned to Guanzhong, he already knew that the King of Chu had been appointed crown prince.
A bitter daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven.
Li Xiaogong is also a hero of Conglong!
Compared with Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, the relationship between Li Xiaogong and Li Zhiyun has always been very secretive. The beginning of their relationship started when Li Zhiyun went south to pacify Bashu in Hanzhong, and then cooperated to transplant tea trees and extract tea profits. Li Xiaogong was involved in all of them.
There is profit.
It's just that few people know it.
Yu Shiqian, the Minister of Rites, personally came to greet Li Xiaogong outside the city gate. He did not dare to neglect and quickly dismounted from his horse to pay his respects.
"What virtue is there in being filial and courteous? It's a shame to be welcomed by my father-in-law!"
Yu Shiqian coughed and said with a smile: "The county prince is a hero of the Tang Dynasty. Please come with me to the palace to meet the prince. Your noble lord will be impatient to wait."
"In this case, you dare to disobey your order. Please ask me."
"The prince please."
Watching Li Xiaogong and Yu Shiqian greet each other and walk into Chang'an, Li Jing smiled slightly behind them.
Chang'an, Li Jing is back.
When a hero returns, he will be rewarded.
Among them, Li Xiaogong was renamed King of Jing by Prince Li Zhiyun for his contribution to pacifying the south, and was appointed Shaoqing Zongzheng. Li Jing was given the title of Duke of Changyang County, and received the title of Governor of Yuezhou and Shaoqing of Taifu.
After the banquet, Li Zhiyun took Li Xiaogong to talk in the Li Zheng Hall.
"Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, nine out of ten military forces used by the imperial court have been in the north. Now this is the case in the south. Brother, you have made outstanding contributions!"
This is true. Throughout the founding of the Tang Dynasty, almost all major wars, involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers, took place in the north.
Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Turk and so on.
"I dare not take credit." Li Xiaogong said humbly: "In the early days of martial arts, it is fortunate that Your Highness has settled in Shannan Hanzhong for the first time, so that I can have the opportunity to show my talents. I dare not or forget the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Although the prince called him elder brother, Li Xiaogong did not dare to entrust him to him, even though he was indeed much older than Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun still remembers what Li Xiaogong said.
It was the early years of Wude, when the Tang Dynasty was established, and he was ordered to lead his army south to pacify Bashu and Hanzhong. Later, he did not continue to control Bashu, but was recalled to accompany Li Shimin to conquer Xue Ju.
The person who succeeded him was Li Xiaogong.
"It's an old story. I didn't expect that my brother would still remember it. I'm sorry for you." Li Zhiyun said with a smile on his face.
Li Xiaogong said: "Without His Highness's favor in promoting me in the past, I would not be where I am today, and I will never forget it for a moment."
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun pretended to be unhappy and said: "Brother, why should we be so different between you and me?"
"Haha, that's what His Highness said." Li Xiaogong smiled dryly and said, "I haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, so I'm a little weird, which made Your Highness laugh."
Even though he said this, he was still respectful and polite. Although he was a hero from Conglong, he was still a hero on the periphery.
Can't compare to Li Daozong and others.
The king of Xiangyi County who stayed in Tanzhou in the south to drink fish soup is a lesson from the past!
How could he serve the prince carelessly?
Li Zhiyun also knew that many things had changed since he was appointed crown prince, so he did not continue to dwell on this topic.
"Now that the south is settled, the Tang Dynasty can rest and recuperate and concentrate on restoring people's livelihood. My brother has made outstanding achievements in recent years, so how about he stay in Chang'an to enjoy his life and assist Zuo Gu in governing the world?"
"As commanded."
Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "However, I will destroy the Turks in the north, brother, please don't refuse."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I am willing to go north for Your Highness!"
He originally thought that he would stay in Chang'an and become a rich man. Unexpectedly, he would still have his share in fighting the Turks in the future.
surprise!
Accident!
After seeing off Li Xiaogong, Li Zhiyun smiled.
It was inevitable to summon Li Xiaogong back to the court. He had stayed in the south for too long, even though all the troops and horses were brought back to Guanzhong to make up for the gaps in the various guards.
However, you must be on guard against others.
Although the South was not actually conquered by Li Xiaogong, but by Li Jing, who asked Lao Li to put all the credit on Li Xiaogong?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun touched his chin and pondered for a moment.
In the south, it would be better to find an experienced minister to patrol.
Who will be the candidate?
He had two choices in his mind. One was to demote old Li Jiuchen for some reason. The other was to let the civil servants of Shence Mansion work to improve their qualifications.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't make a decision at the moment.
At this moment, the chamberlain came to report.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Li Jing has arrived outside the palace."
