Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 875: Envoy!Ascension!

Li Zhi had this intention a long time ago, but he didn't know how to mention it. Hearing that the Queen agreed, he naturally pushed the boat along with the current and followed the trend of goodness.

In view of the fact that the filial piety period has not yet expired, Li Zhi did not dare to immediately let Wu Meiniang enter the palace. After returning to the capital, this guy went out of the palace from time to time. "A tryst with Wu Meiniang.

In May of the second year of "Yonghui" in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi's two-year filial piety period expired, and Wu Meiniang was sent to enter the palace.

A few months later, Wu Meiniang gave birth to the emperor's son Li Hong. Li Zhi was overjoyed, and a group of ministers were summoned in the palace to congratulate him.

Drinks and dishes are placed on dozens of long tables in the Ganlu Hall of the Imperial Palace. Li Zhi, the Empress and Wu Meiniang sit in the middle of the chair, and many court ministers sit on both sides. Qin Wenyuan sits lazily at the head on the right. However, this guy is not very interested.

Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting next to him, saw that this guy seemed to be lacking energy, so he couldn't help leaning over and teasing him.

"Boy, what's the matter, you look so listless, I think it's because you have been tired recently, but the lady in the mansion, the old man has to tell you about this matter, the color is a steel knife that scrapes bones, you boy should take it easy."

Qin Wenyuan was a little annoyed when he heard the words, thinking that this old man dared to say anything.

The two were joking around, but it caught Li Zhi's attention. The little emperor was delighted to hear Chu Suiliang and other ministers congratulating him on the prince's success. He saw Qin Wenyuan and Cheng Yaojin laughing. The old ghost still had a wretched expression on his face.

Li Zhi was a little curious and couldn't help saying loudly.

"I don't know what happy things King Qi and Lord Cheng have, can you share them with me?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Qin Wenyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he suddenly felt like teasing Cheng Yaojin, and said jokingly while clasping his hands in his seat.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng said that your Majesty is a dragon and a tiger, and that you have added another prince. He is indeed a role model for our generation. You should drink to congratulate him. I wish your Majesty the spirit of dragons and horses to spread more branches and leaves, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty will prosper and last for generations to come."

These words made Wu Meiniang beside Li Zhi blushed, but the face of the childless Queen Wang was somewhat warm and angry.

Hearing this, Li Zhi said again to Cheng Yaojin with a smile on his face.

"Master Cheng, do you mean to praise me?"

When Cheng Yaojin heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he knew he was being teased by this kid. Hearing Li Zhi's words, he got up from his seat and said "hehe" with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to that boy Qin Wenyuan's nonsense. The old minister just saw that he is not mentally good. He is not as good as the old man at a young age. He told him not to ask about Fengyue, but this kid is making fun of the old minister in front of the emperor. The emperor can make decisions for the old minister and punish him." The kid drank and apologized to the old man."

This was originally a matter of playfulness and joy between the emperor and his ministers, and I was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to go online and use such jokes as disrespect to the emperor.

There is Wang Zhongxian, a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan, who was admonished by the imperial court and the doctor. He once had a conflict with Xu Tian in the palace over the matter of the money department. He was ordered by the late emperor Li Shimin to "xuankaimen" and punished with thirty army sticks as a punishment. Now the women of the Wang clan are the most noble. Empress Tang, this guy thinks that the Wang family's forces can finally hold their breath in front of Qin Wenyuan and don't have to be afraid anymore.

"Your Majesty, today's banquet is to celebrate the birth of the prince Li Hong, but King Qi's words have the meaning of ridiculing the emperor's closeness to women. In fact, it is deceitful and disrespectful. He should be expelled from the palace and make him think about his mistakes behind closed doors."

The guy's words uttered, but it caused the queen to frown, wondering how could there be such an idiot in the family, thinking that even if the eldest grandson queen was alive, Qin Wenyuan would have nothing to do with him, a queen without heirs, can keep her position already That's right, how could he fight against such powerful princes as Qin Wenyuan.

Li Jing, Qin Shiji, Yuchi Jingde and other court veterans most disdain such villains who want to brush their own existence regardless of location and occasion, and never forget to attack others.

But Cheng Yaojin was impatient, the hall reprimanded this fellow loudly.

"Today, we are waiting for the joy of the monarch and ministers. You villain wants to fan the flames to make the monarch and ministers displeased. Your heart is really hateful."

Rebuked by Cheng Yaojin, Wang Zhongxian was about to quibble and refute, but he listened to Li Zhi's words.

"I'm celebrating the birth of the emperor today, you don't have to argue, Wang Zhongxian is out of date, he speaks falsely about the courtiers, I don't care about it for the sake of the newborn emperor, and I will step back and reflect on myself."

The eunuch Rui'an next to the emperor saw that the emperor's face was not looking good, and then Wu Meiniang gave a signal with her eyes, and immediately ordered the maids, musicians, etc. to enter the hall to sing and dance to celebrate, so as to relieve the situation that the congratulatory banquet is about to be deserted.

This Ruian was originally the eunuch who served Wu Meiniang. After Li Shimin passed away, when Wu Meiniang was a nun in the "Ganye Temple", she left the eunuch beside Li Zhi to convey love to them. He is very grateful to Wu Meiniang, and has a tacit understanding of what the empress ordered.

Gong'e entered the palace to sing and dance, and the scene was lively again.

Wang Zhongxian felt upset when he was reprimanded, he stared at Xu Tian, ​​and seeing Qin Wenyuan looked at him as if he was looking at a dead dog, and the disdainful look on his face made this guy feel more and more hatred. Alcohol relieves hatred, but people are most likely to get drunk when they are depressed.

Xu Shi was drunk and courageous, but seeing the beautiful dancer, this guy lost his composure, got up and swayed in the arena, trying to flirt with her, which really insulted the gentlemen.

Li Zhi was furious!
"Take this fellow with me!"

Hearing the emperor's anger, the guards outside the hall restrained Wang Zhongxian and knelt down like a wolf like a tiger.

"Wang Zhongxian; you dare to act recklessly at my banquet. You really ate your heart and dared not repent. You were escorted to Wumen and beaten with [-] military sticks. You were demoted to a commoner and you will never be hired."

Being punished in the same way by the old and new emperors in the same place, this Wang Zhongxian can be said to be a wonderful work that has never been seen before in the Tang Dynasty, and who has never come since. fell shame.

A feast that Li Zhi was looking forward to broke up unhappy.

Back in the harem, Li Zhi looked badly at Queen Wang, bluntly saying that the Wang family has no tutor, how could there be such a bastard as Wang Zhongxian.

Queen Wang didn't dare to say much, she swallowed her anger and let her husband scold her, but she was persuaded by Wu Meiniang in every possible way, and Her Majesty Fang Shihuang relieved her anger a little.

Empress Wang is grateful to Wu Meiniang and has a good impression of her. How could this young lady who was born in the Guanlong noble military group know that her heart is sinister, and how her gentle and kind personality is the opponent of a scheming woman like Wu Meiniang.

Qin Wenyuan is not interested in what happened at the palace banquet, but this guy has something on his mind recently, no wonder Cheng Yaojin would make fun of him for being mentally ill at the banquet.

But it turned out that the king of Franchi had not seen Princess Catherine and Earl Artor for a long time, and he was so worried that he sent the envoys of Franji to the Tang Dynasty, intending to send the princess and nephew, who had been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, back to China.

On the way to Chang'an when the envoys of the Franji Kingdom disembarked from the "Dengzhou" military port, Xu Tian had already reported the purpose of the envoys of the Franji Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty. However, he also wanted to go back to China, which made Xu Tian feel a little sad, thinking about how he had been with the princess for many years, how could he bear to part.

Regarding this matter, Qin Wenyuan did not dare to make up his own mind, thinking differently, everyone has a feeling of homesickness, and Ye Luo has to return to his roots. erase it.

This guy doesn't want to part with Princess Catherine, but hides his thoughts in his heart. He knows that he can't restrict Princess Catherine's wishes because of himself. Even if she is forced to stay, this flowery woman will be homesick all day long. Not happy and slowly withering.

Qin Wenyuan's affection for Princess Catherine has been uncharacteristic recently, and he lives in the princess' room all day long, as if he wants to take away all his affection for the princess from now on.

How could Princess Catherine not know Qin Wenyuan's feelings? Whenever the two fell in love, this girl regretted that she did not give birth to a boy and a half girl for Qin Wenyuan. It seems that after she left, Qin Wenyuan would always miss her when she saw her children... …

The day of parting will never be changed by people's will. The envoys of the Frangji Kingdom arrived in Chang'an City, submitted the letter of credence to express the greetings of the King of the Frangji Kingdom to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and asked Xu Tian to send the princess and the earl back to the country.

For this reasonable request, what can Qin Wenyuan do.

I think that a person's life is all on the platform of fate, and joys and sorrows are moments!
Outside the city of Chang'an, in the ten-mile long pavilion, in the autumn breeze, Qin Wenyuan and Princess Catherine, the Earl of Atholl, and Christina, the winemaker, had finally come to part. After embracing the Earl and Ms. Christina, Qin Wenyuan pulled the princess away place, looked at the princess with affectionate eyes, and said sadly.

"still coming back?"

"My dear, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to come back after leaving this time. My father is not in good health now, and I need to return to the kingdom to serve as a royal lady, in charge of the affairs of the royal family, and may even take over the throne. The fate of the two of us..."

Before Princess Catherine finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan had already kissed the princess. He finally knew why the princess left him and was eager to return home, but he couldn't stop it.

Princess Catherine also burst into tears in Qin Wenyuan's arms. To be honest, she couldn't do without this man who made her happy. If it wasn't for the domestic situation and her father's old father who needed the care of relatives, she would not have left so quickly and firmly.

"Honey, will you come to Franz to see me?"

"I will definitely go!"

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's affirmative answer, Princess Catherine finally had a charming smile on her sad face.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Wenyuan took out two pistols and a hundred bullets from his arms and handed them to the princess and said.

"I'm not by your side from now on, let these two guns protect you instead of me!"

As for the objects given by Qin Wenyuan, Princess Catherine began to carefully collect them shortly after she came to Datang. In fact, this was her real purpose when she came to Datang. Over the years, she did not miss out some advanced objects from Qin Wenyuan, even including a few rifles. And some books on farming, breeding, handicraft development and military science, Tang poetry and songs, etc., which are of great help to her country. After all, Tang civilization was very advanced at that time.

Looking at the envoys of the Franji Kingdom who were escorted away by the imperial guards on the official road, and looking at his lover who was still on horseback waving to him, Qin Wenyuan looked up to the sky and screamed in a depressed mood...

The departing team gradually disappeared into the wilderness, but Qin Wenyuan was in the midst of the resurgence of the imperial court under the rule of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the old and new enmity between several families.

……

After Wu Meiniang gave birth to the prince Li Hong, in May of the third year of "Yonghui" in the Tang Dynasty (652), she was granted the second rank of Zhaoyi by Li Zhichi. Her power in the harem became more and more powerful, and she began to help Li Zhi involve in important military and political affairs of the court .

This led to the official start of the battle between Wang HuangHou and Wu Meiniang in the harem.

The Empress Wang is the concubine of Jin when Li Zhi was the king of Jin, and later the concubine of the crown prince. Now she is the empress with even more noble status. Wang Renyou used to be the head of the royal family, his mother Liu Shi, his uncle Liu Xun is also the current Datang Zhongshu Ling, and his great-aunt is Princess Tong'an, the younger sister of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty.

Queen Wang is a kind-hearted person without much scheming. When Li Shimin was alive, she praised this daughter-in-law for her virtue. Unfortunately, after marrying Li Zhi, she did not give birth to a son and a half for the royal family. Although she is a queen, her sense of crisis is always in her mind.

Seeing that Wu Meiniang was getting more and more favored by the emperor, the queen, who was originally favored by Wu's ability to enter the palace again, was very nervous.

At that time, Concubine Xiao, who fell out of favor in front of Li Zhi, could not see Wu Meiniang being favored. This Concubine Xiao was the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling. Naturally, he also regarded Wu as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

The conflict between the three women suddenly arose, and they spoke to Li Zhi to slander each other's immorality. It is more and more loved.

Queen Wang had no choice but to wash her face with tears in the harem all day long. After suffering for a long time, her beautiful face was so haggard that people looked pitiful.

I think that after I married Li Zhi, I first competed with Concubine Xiao Shu for favor and then fought to the death, and finally I was left out by Li Zhi because I was not as good as Concubine Xiao Shu. Being replaced by this vixen, this encouraged the husband to bring Wu Meiniang into the palace. He thought that she could cooperate with him to punish Concubine Xiao Shu, but unexpectedly, he led the wolf into the house, and he was the one who was hurt in the end.

In fact, many of these things are caused by the king and queen. As the queen of a country, if she does not make a big mistake, she will not be loved by Li Zhi, and it will be difficult for the concubines in the harem to threaten her queen. Status, because even the emperor would not dare to abolish the empress easily, which is neither reasonable nor legal, and such behaviors involving the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty are also a major event in the court.

Even after the Wang family was conferred the title of empress, the Wang family is now "chicken and dog ascending to heaven".

Empress Wang's father, Wang Renyou, had his daughter promoted from a district magistrate to Tejin when his daughter was established as a queen. Don't underestimate the status of Tejin, Li Jing, who is equal to the meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty , I only got this title when I was old.
