[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 05

The more noble the status of people in this era, the longer it will take for them to go through the process of getting married.

For example, the prince, it takes at least a year to get married, and Wu Minzhi, as Zhou Guogong, of course cannot be compared with the prince and prince, but at least go through the process of the first half of the year.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yang is not a pedantic person, she has been looking for a wife for her grandson for a long time, and she is quite friendly to some prominent families in Chang'an City.

Almost one of Wu Min let go, and many noble ladies in Chang'an had already learned the inside information.

The Xu family can be regarded as a scholarly family of officials for generations, but its background is really not as good as many aristocratic families in Chang'an. Even if they marry an "upstart" like the Wu family, they are suspected of being high-ranking.

And Master Xu Yu himself was born as a Jinshi. After serving as the local governor for several times, he was sent to Chang'an because of his outstanding political achievements. In just a few years, he moved from a six-part minister to a Huangmen servant and a third-rank under Tongzhongshu, and also studied national history. , Up to now, he has actually worshiped his prime minister and joined the cabinet, and he is on an equal footing with his original boss.His promotion path was so smooth that Xu Jingzong, who had the same surname as him, was extremely jealous.

Two years ago, Master Xu Yu's youngest son accidentally shot someone while hunting. Xu's wife concealed it and did not report it because she was afraid that the youngest son would suffer.Knowing about this, Xu Jingzong took the opportunity to impeach Master Xu Yu to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

At that time, Master Xu Yu was following Xianggong Xiao Li to assist the crown prince in overseeing the country. When he received an inquiry letter from His Majesty the Emperor, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost took the blame and resigned.

Later, it was the crown prince who came forward to save Master Xu Yu.

After this time, Master Xu Yu became more cautious in his actions, and he was stricter in raising the children in the family.

The Xu family's young lady's boudoir reputation in Chang'an is definitely not inferior to that of several old ladies from old families!

Therefore, both Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu expressed satisfaction with Wu Minzhi's decision to choose Xu's daughter.

Since both the Wu family and the Xu family had no objection to the two parties, the Yang family unambiguously looked for someone to choose a date and prepared to propose marriage to the Xu family.

But at this time, a major event occurred in Chang'an City, and it also involved the most powerful candidates for the crown princess, Yang Shi and Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi.

After Wu Xu heard Yang's indignant description, her face twitched with anger: Damn!He actually plotted against my nephew!Don't want to live anymore, don't you?

"Send Zhou Guogong to enter the palace immediately!!" Wu Xu rubbed his temples fiercely, telling Xiao Shunzi to go and find Wu Minzhi immediately.

Now that the city of Chang'an is full of wind and rain, she must listen to the person concerned before she can judge how to fight back!

Yang's eyes were already red after angrily uttering rumors, and now she heard that Wu Xu wanted to ask her grandson to question her, and she immediately began to wipe away tears: "Da Lang is really miserable, he lost his parents at such a young age. It's so easy to grow up, and I'm going to marry a wife, but I was framed like this..."

"Being given such a reputation, who's young lady will marry him in the future?!" Speaking of this, Yang became more and more sad, and became more angry with those rumor-mongers and those who didn't stay at home to be candidates for the crown princess, but insisted on marrying him. Came to provoke Yang's family, Dalang.

Wu Xu was watching Yang crying sadly, and didn't know how to persuade her. Wu Minzhi's marriage was Yang's serious problem, and her wish was about to come true. Why did Yang come out halfway? !

It's fine if it's just any little lady from an official's family, at worst, Wu Minzhi will accept her as a concubine, but this young lady from the Yang family is one of the candidates for the crown princess!

Being a concubine is definitely not acceptable, but what about being a regular wife?

What would this little lady of the Xu family do? !

This is really giving her a headache!

What is even more frustrating is that Li Xiaojiu and Dalang (referring to the prince) probably don't know about this matter. If any strange rumors reach their ears, they don't know what will happen!

Ugh!

After much deliberation, Wu Xu still felt that she had to communicate with Li Xiaojiu first, otherwise the rumors would change from 'the Duke of Zhou has something to do with the young lady of the Yang family' to 'cousin is the first to act first, and the raw rice is cooked to rob the cousin' , that would be bad!

"Awei, go to the Hanyuan Hall to have a look. If the emperor is gone, please come here immediately!"

"I would like to obey." Awei heard the words, and she was not ambiguous. As Wu Xu's confidant, she has always been by Wu Xu and Yang's side, and what she said to Yang was actually deeper than Wu Xu thought.

Regardless of whether that Yang family has the chance to become the crown princess, it is a sure thing that she can enter the East Palace, but this little lady has an affair with the crown prince's cousin, isn't this cheating!

If there is a estrangement between the crown prince and Commander Wu because of this incident, why shouldn't the Queen of Heaven go crazy? !

The Empress Dowager is not happy, and the Emperor is also...

As soon as Awei thought about the possibility that His Majesty the Emperor might have convulsions, he couldn't help shaking his whole body, and quickened his pace towards the Hanyuan Hall.

Not to mention the uproar in Chang'an because of the two or three things that the Yang family had to say to Wu Jia Dalang, but to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was exhausted from recruiting students in Dongdu.

"Why, haven't there been any letters from Chang'an these days?" Li Hong lived in Hebi Palace in Luoyang, and he didn't bring many people with him when he came to Luoyang this time. Just Cui Neishi, the patriarch's servant who took care of the saints of the two pilgrimages.

After arriving in Luoyang, Wu Xu and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu would write a letter to their son almost every other day, talking about business and private affairs, and even his second and third younger brothers would send him a letter or two to relieve his boredom. Gizmos.

As for his cousin Wu Minzhi, even though he usually looks like an iceberg, he actually writes more nonsense than his aunt when he writes letters-this guy is a letter a day.

Reading the letters of his parents, brother and cousin every day has become the best choice for His Royal Highness to relieve his fatigue after work.

But it's strange that I haven't received any letters from Chang'an in the past few days, not even the letters from his cousin.

"Cui Weng, is there any accident in Chang'an?" His Royal Highness was puzzled, so he had to ask the well-informed servant Cui.

Cui's housekeeper certainly knew what happened—Mr. Sir, is it possible that your little lady was pried away? !

But he can't say it!

However, thinking about how old Comrade Cui can survive in the palace for so many years, it is not a cheap lamp.

Don't say that he just has a little secret in his heart that he can't tell His Royal Highness, even if someone puts a knife on his neck, his face is still as calm as ever.

"Da Lang, this old slave thinks that the Empress Dowager must be busy these days..." This was vague, but it just happened to make His Royal Highness believe it.

Li Hong participated in the whole process of reforming the official system, and of course he knew how difficult it would be to accomplish it.

So his father didn't attack the officials of the DPRK and China from the very beginning, but started reforming from the school first, so that the talents who will enter the officialdom in the future have a preconceived notion...

This is not something that can be done in 20 years. Every step needs to be carefully arranged, and you must not make a mistake, otherwise it will shake the country of the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, Li Hong also carefully planned in Dongdu, and recorded every step of the progress in detail, and sent it back to Chang'an.

Before he left Chang'an, Wu Minzhi simply revealed to him that Chang'an's several regiments of imperial guards had to be reformed...

Thinking about it now, maybe my father, mother and brother are busy with this matter...

His Royal Highness figured it out by himself, so he didn't worry about why there was no letter from Chang'an for several days. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he continued to plan the next work until A Yang and others urged him to rest.

Cui Neishi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax, a piece of news suddenly came from the secret guard that gave him a headache.

Li Zhong, the king of Liang, practiced witchcraft in the feudal domain, but died suddenly after being discovered.

There are only five words to describe the mood of Cui's servant at this time: I'm so fucked!

There is absolutely a conspiracy in this matter!

With Cui's servant's decades of experience in the deep palace, once he heard about Liang Wangzhong, he could immediately analyze N conspiracies against the queen/prince.

To be honest, since Cui Nei's attendant followed His Majesty Li Er, he thought that no one in the palace was a good person, but today's queen and prince subverted his concept.

Not to mention the prince, since he was a child he was so innocent and kind that it drove all the people who served him crazy. Even after studying with Mr. Li, it only made this master two more scheming. He can't even catch up with his father, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, in flattery.

As for Wu Xu, Cui Neishi has always thought that he is really a "good guy" with great blessings!

How many people have been in the palace for a lifetime, and no one is as lucky as Tianhou, who turns around every time she is in a desperate situation!

But Wu Xu's kindness actually made him and Wang's servant feel too "soft-hearted".

Since ancient times, the struggle for the harem has been a matter of life and death, and there is nothing to compromise!

But the Queen of Heaven could not get a trace of blood on her hands, so she tied the Emperor tightly to her side.

As for the sons and daughters of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager not only did not hate them at all, she treated them better than their own mothers.

Like the two princesses left behind by Concubine Shu, the emperor had long forgotten that there were such two princesses, but the Queen of Heaven kindly asked Concubine Xian to raise them, and asked the palace officials to remind her to give the two noble masters as soon as possible. Choose a good family and get married.

As for the princes, the Queen of Heaven didn't even have a word for the most critical censor.

Like Li Zhong, King of Liang, the eldest son of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, and once a crown prince, if he had been in the previous dynasty, he would have died many times. The Queen Mother has always treated him well, not only putting him in Liangzhou, which is the closest to Yongzhou, Even Shiyi was granted twice as many princes as other princes.

Now it suddenly broke out that King Liang was engaging in witchcraft and even killed himself. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Emperor and Empress? !

Cui Nei was so angry that he ordered his confidant Xingye to rush to Liangzhou to check the truth.

Then, Cui Neishi carefully wrote a secret letter and asked people to take it back to Chang'an to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

After Li Zhi received Cui's servant's secret report, he was furious at first, but anyone with a little knowledge of palace fighting can see who this incident is aimed at!

Whether it is aimed at Wu Xu or Li Hong, they are all aimed at Li Zhi's heart, liver, spleen and lungs!

"Let me investigate carefully, who is behind the scenes!"

Thinking about the matter between Wu Minzhi and the Yang family has not been clarified until now, and his concubine's eldest son died for no reason, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu felt that he was going to fall ill again!
