Historically, Wei Zheng was an upright person who grabbed Li Shimin and started to rant about him every day, mainly for the sake of his own life and safety. Because he knew that Li Shimin wanted to establish an image for himself as someone who "opened up the world for speaking out," "accepted advice with an open mind," and "a sage king."
At that time, Wei Zheng was an old minister of Prince Yin. After returning to Li Shimin's command, Wei Zheng knew that he could not be trusted by Li Shimin and could not compare with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, so he would scold Li Shimin desperately for this and that.
, this can’t be done, that can’t be done.
He forced himself to be a loner.
But now, he is the emperor's confidant, and there is no need to do these "evil things" to protect himself. Therefore, facing Du Ruhui's persuasion, he subconsciously thought deeply. If it were the Wei Zheng in history, he would not consider it at all.
These.
Because he knew that Li Shimin wanted to build a memorial for himself. If he could not show his value in front of Li Shimin, he would be demoted or even beheaded.
But then again, in history, Du Ruhui would not have persuaded Wei Zheng like this, because he was in the same situation as he is now, and he was the emperor's confidant.
Now, after all, he and Wei Zheng were close confidants of the emperor, that's why he gave this advice.
"I've written down what Keming said, and I'll think about it carefully." Wei Zheng knows what's good and what's bad, so naturally he won't turn a deaf ear to Du Ruhui's kind reminder. Although his temper is still tough, he is now less helpless than the Wei Zheng in history.
Decisive retreat.
Now Wei Zheng doesn't need to worry about his situation at all. Because he is the emperor's confidant and old minister.
To a certain extent, his status in His Majesty's mind is the same as that of Du Ruhui and others.
"That's good." Du Ruhui nodded.
In fact, he also values Wei Zheng's integrity. If Your Majesty wants to become a holy king, he will need people like Wei Zheng to constantly supervise him.
He himself sometimes wanted to say it, but in the end he still had some scruples, and Wei Zheng was the most suitable minister.
On the other side, after Li Zhiyun left the examination room, he did not return to the palace, but went to Prince Qin's Mansion to fulfill his three-year agreement with her.
In the third year of Zhenguan, he finally pried open a crack in her heart and asked her to allow him to enter her heart. In these three years, although they had less contact, their relationship was warming up day by day.
Now the three-year period has come, and he is going to take his sweetheart back to the palace.
This time, I want them all, people and hearts!
Prince Qin's Mansion.
When the emperor arrived, Princess Qin's eldest daughter Sun naturally welcomed him personally. She also knew that the three-year period had come, so she took off her plain robe and put on a Luo Qi dress.
She just stood there quietly and pretty, and she seemed to be an extremely beautiful scenery. Although she was not as young as a girl, she had the mature charm of a young woman. Coupled with her delicate and beautiful face, it made Li Zhiyun's heart feel hot.
Such a person will eventually fall into his own hands.
All these years of waiting have finally come to fruition.
indoor.
Mrs. Changsun poured him a cup of tea. With a pair of watery eyes, she seemed shy and happy, and did not dare to look at the emperor. She also knew that from now on, she would no longer be the princess of Qin, but the emperor's woman.
Moreover, this husband is her late husband's brother.
The combination of various emotions made her temporarily at a loss as to what to do.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhiyun put the tea aside and tried to calm down his tone so as not to make her more nervous.
Changsun shook her head and said softly: "I'm fine."
"Why is it okay? You must have been a little nervous just now." After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he joked: "How about I wait another three years?"
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Changsun said with a charming look in her eyes, "I'm really fine."
"Okay, okay, if you say it's nothing, it's nothing." Li Zhiyun comforted: "Don't be nervous, I have been waiting for a long time, and I don't care if I wait any longer. I will not disobey you, as long as you are prepared, I will
Any time.”
The rather explicit words made Changsun's face blush slightly.
"Your Majesty, please don't say these things. I naturally agreed to your Majesty's request and am already ready. No matter when Your Majesty wants to be blessed, I will be willing to do so." Mrs. Changsun lowered her pretty face, looking very shy.
Li Zhiyun couldn't help but smile and reached out to hold her beautiful hand.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
"I know." Changsun smiled and said immediately: "I don't know what's wrong. Although I'm ready, I still feel a little awkward when I think of serving your majesty. Don't take it off your majesty, I just want to be truthful.
tell."
"I'm very happy that you can tell me what's on your mind." Li Zhiyun said, "Don't worry, I'm not an impatient person."
Hearing this, Mrs. Changsun couldn't help but laugh and lightly covered her lips with one hand.
"What, what I said was wrong?" Li Zhiyun was stunned. He really didn't show any impatience in front of the Changsun family.
Changsun shook her head and said: "I was just thinking about things in the past and couldn't help myself for a moment. I hope Your Majesty won't be surprised."
"Haha." Li Zhiyun smiled, then let go of her hand and stretched, "I have been busy with the imperial examinations these past few days, and I am really exhausted."
Hearing this, Mrs. Changsun raised his eyes to look at the emperor who was resting on the sofa. He stood up and walked behind him, stretched out her jade hands and gently massaged his temples.
As for Li Zhiyun, the smile on his face became more and more prosperous, and a faint fragrance could be smelled on the tip of his nose.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's not hard for me, it's really hard for Your Majesty to be busy with people's livelihood."
Li Zhiyun squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then suddenly said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to make you a concubine and call you into the palace, how about that?"
Changsun was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "If your majesty canonize my concubine as a concubine, wouldn't it be against the rules of etiquette? How should your majesty explain it to the queen?"
The harem system of the Tang Dynasty had one queen, four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives.
Now, the positions of the four concubines in the palace have been determined. If Li Zhiyun canonizes the eldest grandson as a concubine, it will indeed be against the system.
Unless, Li Zhiyun abolishes a concubine.
But how could Li Zhiyun do such a stupid thing? His four daughters, the noble concubine Wei Gui, the concubine Shu Huaiyang, the concubine Virtue Yin, and the concubine Pei, all gave birth to children for him, and they were also very well-behaved. Li Zhiyun had no reason.
Do such stupid things, let alone do them.
Since you can't get rid of one, then add another.
"It doesn't matter, I will create another concubine!"
Changsun blinked and persuaded softly: "I'm afraid the ministers won't agree with your majesty's doing this. I am very happy to be favored by your majesty. I don't dare to ask for such extravagant things. Let your majesty disagree with the ministers for my sake. I can accompany your majesty."
I'm satisfied with everything and don't dare to ask for anything else. Please don't do this, Your Majesty."
Li Zhiyun felt quite comfortable hearing this, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"You are loved by me, how can you compromise your position? It's just a concubine, it's nothing."
In his opinion, the affairs of the harem have something to do with the imperial court. He only established a concubine position and did not canonize a queen, so there is no need to make a fuss. As long as the queen and the queen mother agree, there should be no problem.
"That's it, you can't refuse!"
Hearing this, Changsun was deeply moved.
"yes."
"By the way, after you enter the palace, I will also canonize Liniang as a princess. She has the best relationship with Jinyang on weekdays. From now on, they can eat and sleep together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, don't keep saying thank you."
Changsun smiled and nodded. Just about to say thank you, she remembered the emperor's unfinished words. After a slight hesitation, she gently held his head and kissed him on the forehead.
"I am so lucky." Li Zhiyun smiled with satisfaction, closed his eyes and let him serve.
Changsun thought to herself that she also felt how lucky she was.
