The idea of a strict father and a loving mother is not unfounded.
It is true that the father hopes that his son will succeed and has strict requirements for his children. But when the child is young and rebellious, how can he understand the father's painstaking efforts?
As time goes by, the conflict between father and son will become more and more serious.
At this time, a 'loving mother' was needed to mediate, but the early death of Empress Changsun left no one to mediate the conflict between father and son.
In addition, the death of Queen Changsun also had a great impact on Changsun Wuji.
In fact, Queen Changsun had been trying to suppress the development of her brother's power during her lifetime, and Changsun Wuji was idle for nearly ten years. Queen Changsun did this in order to prevent Changsun Wuji's power from expanding too much, which would lead to the conflict between the Changsun family and the Li Tang royal family.
There was a power conflict between them. As the daughter of the Changsun family and the queen of Li Tang, Queen Changsun did not want either party to suffer a major blow.
However, after the death of Empress Changsun in the 10th year of Zhenguan (636), Changsun Wuji, who had no restrictions, began to participate more and more in the government affairs, and finally won for himself the position of Chief Tuogu Minister of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty before his death.
In the end, Changsun Wuji died because of his excessive power. If Queen Changsun could live a few more years, Changsun Wuji would probably have to spend a long period of restricted life, and perhaps he could avoid the final death of his family.
tragedy.
Many people may think that it doesn't matter whether Changsun Wuji is in power or not. In the end, he was not killed by Gaozong.
In fact, whether Changsun Wuji was in power or not had a great impact on the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, we have to start with Taizong Li Shimin’s Tuogu.
Before his death, Li Shimin entrusted his eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang to his orphans, and said to Chu Suiliang: "Wuji will be completely loyal to me. I have the world and I have more power. If I die, don't let anyone slander the world." Obviously, Li Shimin was worried that someone would alienate his eldest grandson.
The relationship between Wuji and Li Zhi requires Chu Suiliang to uphold justice at critical moments, while Changsun Wuji is a member of the Guanlong clan and Chu Suiliang is a southern nobleman with obviously different backgrounds. Therefore, the key to Li Shimin entrusting Chu Suiliang is to represent different forces.
Upholding justice. But Chu Suiliang did not hold his position and fell to Changsun Wuji's side early on.
Although Li Shimin trusted Changsun Wuji, he was also wary of him.
In order to prevent Changsun Wuji from becoming too powerful, Li Shimin chose another minister to support him - Li Ji.
Li Ji was not only a hero and veteran, but also had unparalleled authority in the army. It was Li Shimin who relied on Li Ji to guard against unexpected events.
After Changsun Wuji came to power, he was arrogant and domineering. He used Fang Yiai to plot a rebellion and defeated the political opposition in one fell swoop. Even the ministers who could not stand it were also attacked. Li Shimin praised Li Ji, Xue Wanche and Li Daozong as the three most famous generals in the world.
, and ended up being knocked down two by Changsun Wuji.
However, Li Ji saw his willingness and kept a low profile. He resigned from the post of Zuopushe, the minister, early, leaving only a third-rank prime minister with the same title as Zhongshu. He only listened to politics and did not speak. Changsun Wuji could not catch him.
There is no way to do anything. It can be expected that if Li Ji openly confronts Changsun Wuji, then his comrades Xue Wanche and Li Daozong will learn from the past.
Changsun Wuji controlled the government and did not use it except Guanlong clan, which made a large number of officials frustrated.
And soon, they discovered an opportunity, which was the famous deposed king Liwu in history.
Li Zhi loved Wu Zetian and wanted to depose Queen Wang and make Wu Zetian his queen.
Deposing the queen was not something Li Zhi could do with just one sentence. It also required the consent of the civil and military officials of the court.
At that time, Changsun Wuji was very opposed to Li Zhi making Wu Zetian his queen.
Li Ji and others knew that if they did not remove Changsun Wuji, they would never get ahead.
So for the same goal, they came together to support Wu Zetian as empress.
They supported the establishment of Wu Zetian not because they really wanted to support her, but just to achieve their own political goals.
Without the oppression of Changsun Wuji, they would also oppose the abolition of the queen. It is difficult to say whether Wu Zetian could become the queen.
It can be said that the death of Empress Changsun had a great impact on Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, and Wu Zetian, and the impact on the Tang Dynasty was even more profound.
Chun Yue saw Lin Xuan frowning and asked with concern: "Is there something on your mind, Master?"
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, sighed, and said: "The Queen is seriously ill, and I am worried about the Queen."
"Young Master, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and the queen and mother are auspicious, everything will be fine," Chunyue said.
If the imperial doctors in the palace could have cured her, Empress Changsun would not have died long ago at the age of thirty-six, in the prime of her life.
Lin Xuan was very confused. He was not sure whether Queen Changsun would be fine this time.
He has a bottle of special medicine for treating asthma. Although it cannot cure it, it can relieve it.
If asthma attacks for too long, it will cause many complications. If there are special medicines, this situation can be effectively controlled.
But he only had this bottle, and if he used it, he didn't know whether he would have a chance to get it in the future.
What should I do if Li Lizhi gets sick in the future?
You know, Li Lizhi died in her twenties.
A trace of struggle flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. If he didn't give it to Queen Changsun, which led to Queen Changsun's death, and he gave this medicine to Li Lizhi in the future, what would Li Lizhi think?
Although he could explain that he got it later, could Li Lizhi not doubt it?
In this way, there will be an invisible gap between the two.
"Chunyue, you said that if you have a very important person whose life is in danger now, and I have a way to save him but can't, will you blame me after you find out?" Lin Xuan asked.
Chunyue was stunned and said: "Young master, you are the most important person to me. How can I blame you? No matter what you do, it is right."
"I mean, if your mother's life is in danger, and I have a way to save her, but I can't, do you know that you will blame me in the future?" Lin Xuan said.
Although Lin Xuan knew that this metaphor was inappropriate, he couldn't think of a good metaphor in his desperation.
Chunyue thought for a while and asked: "Then we have to see whether that method will cause harm to the young master."
Although her parents sold her, she didn't blame her parents. If the family couldn't survive, her parents wouldn't be willing to sell her.
How could Lin Xuan not understand what Chunyue meant? If it would bring harm to him, then she would not blame Lin Xuan for refusing to save him, but if it was just a simple matter, she would definitely blame him.
"There is no harm, but this thing may disappear after use, and you may encounter this danger in the future. I want to keep this thing to save you. Will you blame me if you find out?" Lin Xuan asked.
Chunyue was silent. She knew that Lin Xuan was just talking metaphorically, but she asked herself, if this situation really happened, would she blame Lin Xuan?
Strange?
Lin Xuan wanted to save her.
Not weird?
His mother died.
This is a dilemma.
After a long time, Chunyue said quietly: "I won't blame you, but I will feel uneasy and may never be happy."
yes.
If Li Lizhi knew that he could save Empress Changsun but failed to save her, she might not blame him, but from now on, she might never be happy again.
Li Lizhi's bright smile appeared in Lin Xuan's mind, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Chunyue, I'm going to change my clothes, and you can tell Cao Yong and others to prepare their horses," Lin Xuan ordered.
"Sir, it snowed last night. There is a lot of snow on the road. I wonder where you are going at this time?" Chunyue asked in surprise.
Lin Xuan said in a deep voice: "Enter the palace."
