[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 15 Fisherman 1

Wu Xu didn't hear what Queen Wang said, she just walked away from the main hall to avoid being blasted to pieces by the exchange of fire between the Queen and Concubine Shu.

Although Queen Wang is now in the middle palace, she lives in the Chengqing Palace, which is west of the Liangyi Hall. Although it is also on the same parallel line as the Liangyi Hall, it is far away from the Liangyi Hall.

Wu Xu nominally said that he lived temporarily in the Queen's Palace, but in fact he lived in the Baifu Hall next to the Qianqiu Hall.

Li Zhi hadn't lived in the Ganlu Hall since he ascended the throne. Now that Wu Xu came back, he simply moved back to the Liangyi Hall. Of course, it was for the convenience of him teaching the prince.

The current Crown Prince Li Zhong is not yet ten years old. At first he lived with his mother Liu Jieyu. Later, he was often summoned by the Queen, and sometimes lived in the Chengqing Palace. Later, he became the adopted son of the Queen, so he just moved to live with the Queen. Living.

As for the second, third and fourth princes, they are still a little younger, and they will still live in their mother's harem for the time being.

Therefore, if Li Zhi lives in the Hall of Liangyi, the prince can save several palace gates to see his father, which is much more convenient than living in the harem.

After suppressing the rebellion of the Eastern and Western Turks, defeating the Ashina Helu rebellion and other great victories, as well as the suppression of King Qi and King Jing, the courtiers are now convinced of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, and no longer dare to regard him as a A weak and deceitful person.

Now, the young saint has passed the three-year filial piety period, and not long ago he followed the public opinion to install the crown prince, and the courtiers temporarily settled down for a while.

But soon, they turned their attention to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's backyard, only to find that the saint's backyard is too monotonous and empty!

Except for Xu Jieyu, who was brought into the palace after a sage ascended the throne, the other concubines in the palace were all old men who had hidden their residences!

Besides, there are not too many descendants of saints. Except for Shiro, the birth mothers of the other princes are not very high-born. How can this be possible? !

After discovering this phenomenon, those who have daughters in their families, or relatives and friends who have daughters, can't help but start to think carefully.

Li Zhi didn't say anything to the censors who hinted that he would increase the staffing of the harem several times. He was mentioned more times, and he simply said that now that the country is suffering from frequent famines, he, a sage, must lead by example and be thrifty. Self-discipline can no longer increase the burden on the common people, so...don't bring up the issue of taking a concubine!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu rejected the issue of personal pleasure in such a righteous way, and dedicated himself to serving the people, which made all the censors feel very ashamed.

However, most of the ministers in the court now prefer the queen, the queen has no children, and they are worried that the problem will be that a noble concubine will replace her. Therefore, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu disagreed with the selection decision, which was appreciated by several ministers in the Zhengshitang.

On the contrary, Changsun Wuji, the first assistant, felt sorry for Li Zhi's nephew. He met Li Zhi in private once and asked him to choose a few women from good families to serve in the palace. more!

Uncle Changsun's suggestion hit Li Zhi's heart.

"Uncle said yes, I will let the queen handle this matter..." Li Zhi smiled and offered tea to his eldest grandson Wuji, secretly proud of himself, as expected, it was effective to retreat as an advance!

He asked Queen Wang to arrange a good family status for Wu Xu, but now it will come in handy!

Changsun Wuji nodded in satisfaction to the fact that Li Zhi directly handed over the matter of selecting a woman from a good family to enter the palace to the queen.

He was worried that it was Li Zhi who doted on his concubine and killed his wife, but Li Zhi had always shown great respect to the queen, making him and Chu Suiliang blameless.

It's just a pity that the queen has never had a child, so it's no wonder that the saint can't get close to the queen.

Now, the sage finally obeyed their suggestion and established Dalang, and Changsun Wuji knew that his Jiulang didn't feel so painful in his heart.

To be honest, even Changsun Wuji himself felt that Dalang was not smart enough, and it was indeed better than Shiro who was a few years younger than him.

However, Shiro's mother is Concubine Xiao Shu. If Shiro is established, the queen's seat will definitely be lost.

Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't want to see such a situation, so he could only acquiesce in Chu Suiliang's pressure on Li Zhi, and made Dalang the prince.

And he privately suggested that Li Zhi choose a woman from a good family to enter the palace, which was more or less meant to compensate Li Zhi.

"Since the sage has become a filial piety now, he should get closer to the harem more, rain and dew evenly, and the branches and leaves will spread..." Changsun Wuji said slowly, twirling his beard.

In fact, the reason why Changsun Wuji supported Chu Suiliang and others to force Li Zhi to establish a prince early was a deeper worry.

The children of his younger sister, Empress Changsun, are not in good health, and Li Zhi's health is not much stronger than that of Cheng Qian who died young. If there is any accident, and the empress has no sons, the situation is really bad!

Changsun Wuji felt that he was not young anymore, and he often worried that Li Zhi would not be able to secure the throne, so unfortunately he would go to serve the late emperor first, what would Jiulang do then? !

Therefore, wanting Li Zhi to have more sons is one of the most critical issues that Changsun Wuji considered.

However, Li Zhi was obviously not very interested in this issue.

He lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, then replied calmly, "Uncle, don't worry..." He immediately changed the subject.

"Yesterday, I heard from my superiors that there has been no rain or snow in Qizhou and other places since the end of autumn last year, and there is a possibility of drought this spring..."

When Changsun Wuji heard that Li Zhi was worried, he couldn't help but become serious.

Natural disasters are a major problem that Li Zhi has not been able to solve since he ascended the throne. Although it is an unforeseen event, in the eyes of the common people and some interested people, natural disasters are a good excuse to question the legitimacy of the current emperor.

"Saints don't need to worry. The veteran ministers have discussed this matter with several ministers in the political affairs hall, and they must make preparations for disaster relief in advance..." After all, Changsun Wuji is good at general affairs, and has long been on record for the people's livelihood and society in various places.

"So, I will trouble Uncle to worry more..."

Li Zhi acted like "My uncle is doing things, I don't worry about it", but Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say.

As a result, as Yousi expected, in April, there was still no rain in Qizhou and other places, and droughts appeared in Yongzhou and other places. Although Changsun Wuji and others had prepared for it, the area affected by the drought was too wide. People in many places were unable to carry out normal spring farming, and famine and jjj occurred in many areas...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu once again reduced or exempted taxes in many places for this catastrophe. At the same time, in order to show respect to God, he moved to Qianqiu Hall instead of the main hall of Liangyi Hall from mid-April.

In addition, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also decreed that, except for treasonous criminals, all capital crimes and exile criminals will have their executions reduced by one grade, and all criminals under short-term detention will be pardoned.

The government and the public all praised the saint's benevolence, and the Taiwei and Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji also wrote to resign from the post of Taiwei because of the severe drought.

Of course, Li Zhi refused, and promoted the son-in-law of Princess Sixteen Chengyang, Sun Quan, to the first level, and asked him to go to the Ministry of Households to assist in disaster relief, to show his trust in the eldest sun...

At the same time, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Wei Shuyu, the husband-in-law of Princess 21, were sent to deal with disaster relief.

The former dynasty was busy with the drought and became a mess, but the harem was a little strangely peaceful.

It was rumored in the palace before that after the sage was filial piety, he would elect women from aristocratic families to fill the harem.

Everyone thought about the severe drought in many parts of the country, and it was reasonable for the saint to be exempted from the draft.

And which women in the harem hope that someone will come into the palace to compete with them for the grace of the saint?

The cancellation of the draft is a happy event for everyone.

However, before all the ladies in the palace were happy about this, the Empress Wang actually said that she would choose several women from good families to serve the saint in the palace...

As soon as this news came out, even Liu Jieyu, a concubine who kept her own law and order, couldn't sit still, not to mention Concubine Xiao Shu, who looked quite glamorous on this face, but was actually on the verge of falling out of favor as a 'favored concubine'!

"What is the queen trying to do?!" Concubine Xiao Shu slapped the table fiercely, her pretty face twisted so ferociously that no one dared to look directly at it.

Zi Shao hurriedly sent away the little palace official who came to report the news, and then cautiously persuaded Concubine Xiao Shu, "Why do you need to be angry, my lady, the empress must have listened to Mrs. Wei's instigation, presumably it is to divide the saint's love for you..."

"But how can those commoner women compare with you?"

While looking at Concubine Xiao Shu's face, Zi Shao continued: "Besides, lady, you still have Shiro, what does the queen have? Dalang hasn't been able to move to the East Palace yet!"

When Concubine Xiao Shu heard this, her expression softened a lot.

And Yang Shanggong beside her also said: "Lady, haven't you seen that Lady Wu in Chengqing Palace? The servant girl heard that Lady Wu is 30 years old, and she only did it because she served the saint and Nineteenth Lady back then." Received a little affection from the sage, and turned out to be pregnant with a dragon child..."

When Yang Shanggong said this, he said with more certainty: "Even though that Mrs. Wu has some color, she is not too young. How can she compare to you, my lady? This fact confirms the servant girl's speculation earlier that the saint should be a nostalgic lover. If even a man who served the palace in the past is unwilling to abandon him, then he will certainly not let you and Shiro down!"

Concubine Xiao Shu heard the words, thinking of Yang Shanggong's theory about 'the sage made Dalang the prince for the sake of Shiro', she nodded unconsciously.

Queen Wang is so active in choosing a woman from a good family to enter the palace, doesn't it mean that the saint still loves her very much, that's why Queen Wang is so afraid...

"Shang Gong, your words are good, but what if the woman who comes in later falls into the eyes of a saint, what can I do?" Concubine Xiao Shu had to think about the possibility that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu might change his mind.

"You don't have to worry about this, lady. Do you think the queen will find a few seductresses to confuse the saint?" Yang Shanggong couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile when he mentioned the queen.

Girls from a big family, even if they take the initiative to take concubines for their husband-in-law, they usually don't look for those charming and charming girls...

Undoubtedly, Queen Wang will find a lot of respectful and dignified people like herself!

Concubine Xiao Shu couldn't help laughing when she thought about it.

"Look at the excitement in this palace!"
