Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 404 I wish my son a victory
The imperial palace, the sleeping hall of the concubine Wan Gui.

"Baby pays respects to Auntie."

"Daughter-in-law pays tribute to Auntie."

"Grandson Ruyi kowtows to the imperial grandmother."

Li Zhiyun brought his wife, Bao Niang, and Xiao Chengzhao to meet Wan Guifei.

"Okay, okay, get up, get up." Concubine Wan Gui smiled happily, and quickly got up to help her son and daughter-in-law. By the way, she took her grandson Chengzhao from Princess Chu's arms, and held her granddaughter Bao Niang with the other hand.

Bao Niang's first name was Li Ruyi. As she grew up, the servants in the palace called her Princess Bao, and several aunts called her Ruyi in private.

The name is very common, but it represents Li Zhiyun's good wishes for her daughter to have everything well.

After everyone sat down, Concubine Wan Gui smiled and said: "You all have filial piety, knowing that you often come to the palace to visit your mother, your mother will be satisfied."

"Aniang, my son was away on a military expedition a few years ago, so he couldn't fulfill his filial piety at your old knee, but today the situation is stable, and my son will definitely go to the palace every day to pay his respects." Li Zhiyun bowed his body.

Li Zhiyun treats his mother sincerely.

Concubine Wan Gui said: "My mother knows that you don't have to take these things to heart. If the world is not stable, how can the royal family be stable. Besides, the princess is filial. When you are not in Chang'an, she will often come to say hello to my mother."

"This is what a daughter-in-law should do." Princess Chu said with a smile.

"They also kowtowed to the imperial grandmother." Bao Niang pouted her lips, displeased.

Concubine Wan Gui laughed heartily, held Bao Niang's tender face and kissed her, "Yes, yes, our family Ruyi is the most filial, you Yeye and A Niang are not as filial as you."

The little girl smiled when she heard this.

After talking with his mother for a while, Li Zhiyun suddenly said: "Mother, there is something that I want to talk to you alone."

Hearing this, Concubine Wan Gui knew that what her son was going to say must be an important matter, so she stood up and said, "Follow me."

"Yes."

Li Zhiyun got up and followed Concubine Wan Gui into the inner room.

Concubine Wan Gui said: "The wall here has no ears. My son has something to do, but it's okay to say."

Li Zhiyun lifted his hem and knelt on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Concubine Wan Gui was puzzled.

Why kowtow well.

Li Zhiyun explained in a deep voice: "Aniang, the King of Qi came to look for the baby a few days ago, and Brother Yan wanted to kill the son and minister when King Qin was buried in Wannian County, forcing the father to abdicate."

"What!" Concubine Wan Gui looked at him in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief, "What's going on, why?"

Li Zhiyun smiled wryly and said: "To tell you the truth, Auntie, my father canonized the child as the general of the gods, commanding the troops of the Tang Dynasty, which has aroused the crown prince's fear. The death of the king of Qin, there are some gossip, I must have heard it in the palace. This time the prince I regard the child as the second King of Qin, and I want to get rid of it quickly."

Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips and watched her son remain silent for a while. Although she was in the palace, she had heard about some things, so she asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"

Li Zhiyun raised his head and looked at Concubine Wan Gui, "Aniang, I don't want to sit and wait for death."

"You want to fight for reserves?"

"Yes." Li Zhiyun analyzed: "Aniang, I have thought about it, even if I voluntarily remove my armor now and become a happy king, but the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, I still won't allow me. If this is the case, I might as well fight it once."

"Inappropriate." Concubine Wan Gui flatly vetoed it, and explained painstakingly: "My son, let alone whether you can win the crown prince, even if you win by chance, you may not be able to sit safely in this world. In the hearts of the people, this world belongs to Li The world of the family, but in the hearts of the aristocratic family, this world is shared by the emperor and the aristocratic family. As a mother, she was born in the Wan family, and from a small family, no one can be your arm.

Even if you get a righteous name in the future, but the aristocratic family does not support you, even if they have evil intentions, you will not be able to secure the throne. "

No wonder my aunt was able to give birth to herself while Empress Taimu was alive, and raised herself. This knowledge alone is enough to prove that my aunt is extraordinary.

"What A Niang said, the child actually knows."

"Since you know, why take the risk?" Concubine Wan Gui was puzzled.

"Because the boy has no way out." Li Zhiyun said: "Aniang, the death of the second elder brother was actually planned by the crown prince. He can kill even his brothers, let alone the boy. Besides, the boy is not without help. Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, Guanlong Dugu clan, they have secretly pledged their allegiance to the child."

"What?" Concubine Wan Gui was stunned, "When did you contact them?"

Li Zhiyun pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Aniang, please forgive me for taking such a risk. I just don't want Aniang and Haier to continue to be dependent on others."

Having said this, Concubine Wan Gui suddenly fell silent.She remembered how cautious and cautious she was when she faced Taimu Empress Dou Shi in Tang Guogong's mansion, like walking on thin ice.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you really decided?"

"Yes." Li Zhiyun said: "I privately think that my father is worthy of his cultivation, and that the Tang Dynasty can unify the world, and I also contributed. Only A Niang, I am worried that I will fail in the future, and A Niang will be implicated."

Concubine Wan Gui thought for a while, and said: "If you have made a good decision, no matter what happens in the future, you and I, mother and son, will bear it together. It's just that your wife has suffered. If you have troubles, she may not be able to live well in the future. "

"Don't worry, Ma'am, the lady told the boy that if the boy fails, she will not live alone."

Concubine Wan Gui nodded, helped Li Zhiyun up, and said: "Forget it, although you have been taciturn since you were young, and you don't show your emotions, but my mother knows that you are a child with a heart."

"Let my mother worry, the child is not filial."

"Don't talk about it, I know you have troubles too." Concubine Wan Gui said, "Since the crown prince has decided to attack Wannian County, then you have no way out. If you tell the saint about this, I'm afraid he won't believe it. In his eyes, you and my mother and son are dispensable."

After all, the distinction between a concubine and a concubine is a world of difference.

Li Zhiyun said: "Don't worry, Ma'er, I've made all the preparations. As long as there are no accidents, it should be fine. After ten thousand years, I don't worry about leaving my wife and children in the Chu Palace. I hope Ma'er can take them over." By my side, protect it well. I have already made an agreement with King Huaiyang, and he will lead the army to protect the imperial city when the time comes."

Concubine Wan Gui nodded, "Since you are ready, you don't need to ask Wei Niang any more. You can rest assured that as long as Wei Niang is still alive, no one can hurt them."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your understanding."

Concubine Wan Gui shook her head lightly, and said: "My son, don't be afraid, my mother will pray for you, I wish my son a successful victory!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Concubine Wan Gui said with emotion: "My son has grown up."

"The boy has concealed a lot from A Niang before, please forgive me, A Niang."

"Nothing." Concubine Wan Gui said: "In the past, when Empress Taimu was here, only her four sons were the most important in the mansion. Now my son has great ambitions, and I am very happy as a mother. If you lose, it's just a life. If you succeed, it's okay. Let the people of the world see that my son's talent is not inferior to the son of Empress Taimu."

Concubine Wan Gui stopped him before, and even disliked him, mainly because she felt that Li Zhiyun's idea of ​​seizing the heir was too simple.

But Li Zhiyun said that he had already contacted the aristocratic family, and only then did Concubine Wan Gui gain confidence.

At the same time, she also knew that her son was on a cliff, even if he could escape for a while, he could not escape forever.

If the prince ascends the throne in the future, if he has a kind heart, he can still leave his son alive.If his heart is evil, he is afraid that the Chu Palace will be full of families and it will be difficult to survive.

She has also read history books, and she is not a fool who only knows how to fight for favor.

On this occasion, she can only fully support her son.
