The day before yesterday, when the officials were having a banquet, Queen Jindeman of Silla sat beside the emperor in a grand manner, with an intimate look, not avoiding suspicion.
After Queen Li Bi heard about it, she was very angry. You said that's all in private. How could she be allowed to do such nonsense in public?
Yes, what Li Bi is angry about is not that her husband is flirting with women. After all, she has known about this for a long time, and her husband has not hidden it from her. The cause and effect are clearly explained.
Just like the bad things going on in Mrs. Chu's house, Li Po would never keep it secret and would always make things clear during his jokes.
Li Bi will also be "reasonable" and tolerate it.
This is how the reputation of the royal family came about. It is the product of mutual compromise, otherwise it would definitely be a mess.
There was only one woman like the former Empress Wenwen of the Sui Dynasty. As a queen, she intimidated all the ministers, her influence spread far and wide to other dynasties, and she even gained the respect of Emperor Wen.
She, Li Bi, is not the Queen of Literature, and Li Po is not the Emperor of Literature. The two of them have been getting along so far. It can be said that they have a deep friendship and a sense of propriety, and they have never really gotten into any trouble.
Under the influence of Li Po, Li Bi also became extremely smart and understood the importance of mutual tolerance. Even if she couldn't help it sometimes, she would fight with her husband to vent her emotions.
As an end.
…………
But this time it was different. Li Bi felt that her husband had crossed a line.
In other words, on such an occasion, Li Bi could not tolerate any woman sitting next to her husband, so when Li Po returned to Qingning Palace drunk, Li Bi refused to sleep in the same room with her husband for the first time.
No matter what tricks Li Po played in the past two days, Li Bi would ignore them and not even see anyone.
Because Li Bi knew what her husband was capable of, as soon as they met, his mouth would definitely be able to seduce her. In order to let her husband know that she was really angry, realize her mistakes, and seriously reflect on her, she had to resist.
Li Po had no idea and couldn't look for other palace concubines. Wouldn't that add fuel to the fire? So he honestly returned to live in Ganlu Palace and went to Qingning Palace to check in every morning.
It doesn't matter if you can't see anyone, your attitude must be sincere. He did feel that he was a little unjust. He also drank a little too much at the time, and was made dizzy by the sounds of daughter and daughter.
I didn't pay attention to the impact, and I was too wanton and let the officials and foreign visitors see the "joke", which is unethical.
Sun Fujia, the remonstrating official, first presented his remonstrance. Wang Gui, the superintendent of the temple, also visited the Tai Chi Hall yesterday.
Li Po felt that the emperor's private life had suddenly come into the view of his ministers. If he didn't humbly accept advice, there would probably be more to talk about.
I went to Qingning Palace early this morning and was rejected again.
Li Po was in a very depressed mood. They had been married for more than ten or twenty years, and this was the first time he had encountered this situation.
It was his old wife who understood what he was like. He felt a little sad in his heart. No matter how many ways you tried, there was nothing you could do if you couldn't see anyone.
Damn it, there are so many people in the palace. They all want to please him in front of him on weekdays. But when something happens, they all disappear. You guys are really awesome...
He was in a bad mood and couldn't wander around in the harem. He was thinking about leading people to watch the lanterns at the city tower tonight, and Li Po had a lawsuit on his forehead.
If his wife didn't go, wouldn't he, the emperor, sit on the wax?
I was in a bad mood and couldn't stay in the Tai Chi Hall any longer, so I led the people out for a walk, walking wherever they pleased.
On the way, I also met General Zuo Yuwei and Duke Zhibian of Yanmen County who were entering the palace. He was not entering the palace to meet his master, but to visit his niece Wang Qi.
Wang Zhibian had been back in Beijing for more than half a year. In the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the imperial court ordered General Zhang Shigui of Zuo Xiaowei, General Xu Shiji of Zuowu Houwei, General Pang Yu of Zuojian Gate Guard, and General Wang Zhibian of Zuoyuwei to return together.
Beijing.
The last ones who came back were the three generals, Xu Shiji, Wang Zhibian, and Pang Yu. General Zuo Xiaowei, Zhang Shigui, led his troops out of Zhangye.
In fact, Zuo Xiaowei's vanguard troops had already gone to Dunhuang and the Yumen area and were stationed there.
This is the reason why a large army sent troops to Tibet and Zhangye was empty. Another meaning is that in view of the Turks' desire to conquer the Western Regions, Zhang Shigui's troops were prepared for emergencies.
Zhang Lun led his troops to the West Sea, while Zhang Shigui was in Zhangye, quite ready to go.
But in the sixth year of Yuanzhen, Zhang Lun was actually leading the troops and raising horses, while Zhang Shigui was guarding the border city of Zhangye. The Tang Dynasty did not have many plans for the Western Regions.
But in the seventh year of Yuanzhen, the situation obviously changed. The end of the war in the East China Sea and Tubo made the Tang Dynasty start to wander again, and managing Hexi was put on the court's agenda.
In order to digest Tuyuhun and the Qiang tribes as quickly as possible, the imperial court had prepared many strategies before, but now they can use them freely.
…………
Wang Zhibian is almost sixty this year. He had been leading troops stationed in Hongnong and Tongguan areas, and his job was actually to transport grain and grass.
In the past two years, the imperial court has started another basic project. Wang Zhibian's department has been streamlined to a certain extent. Some of the best soldiers and generals have been transferred to Jiangzuo to suppress the Lingnan barbarians.
Some of them went to Daizhou and came under the jurisdiction of the Yanmen garrison. Others were recruited to fight in the East China Sea.
The actual situation is that the Zuoyuwei Mansion has almost become an engineering force, working on farming, building roads, and mostly supervising the implementation of projects to clean up canal channels.
Not only Wang Zhibian's department, but also Xu Jingsheng's department stationed in Luoyang were also engaged in repairing roads and cities, cleaning up canals and other projects.
It's just that Xu Jingsheng was more relaxed than Wang Zhibian. After all, it was Luoyang, the capital of the East.
Now that Wang Zhibian has returned to the court, he is quite happy. He feels that the emperor appreciates his service and invites him to return to Chang'an to rest in peace, which makes him very grateful.
When I came back to Chang'an, I wanted to resign and live in peace. Well, not to go back to Yanmen, but to settle down in Chang'an and enjoy wealth and honor.
On the contrary, Li Po was startled, thinking that this guy was thinking of ancient stories and took advantage of the situation to make a successful retreat to eliminate the emperor's suspicion and protect himself.
Li Po held a banquet in Liangyi Palace and chatted with Wang Zhibian, only to realize that he really wanted to go home and retire.
Wang Zhibian is different from Li Jing and others. From Yanmen to his current position, it is not because of his outstanding talents, but because of the time and momentum.
In other words, it was his good fortune that allowed him to serve under General Li Po when he had not yet risen, and made many military exploits. However, after reaching a certain position, he became somewhat powerless.
Especially when he was in charge of the Ministry of War, his lack of ability was extremely obvious. Wang Zhibian also knew it, so he resigned at this time.
But how can this be true? You said that just after you were called back, you retired to take care of yourself. Those who know it are doing so voluntarily, but those who don’t know must think it is the emperor’s intention.
