Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 505
Although it was a pity, Empress Yang was not disappointed. She thought in her heart that if His Majesty came over tomorrow or the day after, she would not be too late to mention it.

But unexpectedly, for four or five days in a row, Li Zhiyun either rested with other concubines, or rested in Ganlu Hall.

This made Empress Yang really not expect that her husband had never neglected her so much before, so she suddenly had some guesses in her heart.

"Yu'er, what happened in the palace these few days?"

Yu'er was Empress Yang's dowry maid, and now she is the chief female official of Changle Hall.

Hearing this, Yu'er hesitated slightly, and immediately said in a low voice: "I heard some gossip, I don't know if it's true or not."

"What gossip?"

"I heard that Yang Xiangguo has written to His Majesty, requesting that the Prince of Wuling County be made the Crown Prince."

The king of Wuling County is the fourth prince, Li Chengzhao. This prince was conferred by the late emperor.

Hearing this, Queen Yang immediately understood.Her teeth were itching with anger, and she said in a hateful voice: "Ignorant and ignorant!"

After a while, she suppressed her anger and asked, "Where is Your Majesty now?"

"Manna Hall."

Ganlu Temple.

This palace used to be the sleeping hall of the late emperor. After Li Zhiyun ascended the throne, he naturally used it as his sleeping hall.

Li Zhiyun liked it here, because when Lao Li was alive, he usually dealt with state affairs in the Lizheng Hall or the Wude Hall, but he didn't spend much time in the Ganlu Hall.

"Hey, Guo Fushan, you also like to join in the fun, don't you?"

With a snap, Li Zhiyun threw the memorial aside.In the past few days, Yang Gongren asked many people to write to him, and Guo Fushan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was one of them.

This was somewhat beyond Li Zhiyun's expectations.Because Guo Fushan was born in the Guo family in Taiyuan, I didn't expect him to join forces with Yang Gongren.

interesting.

Gao Liangzhong came quietly and reported: "Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you."

Li Zhiyun glanced at the memorial and said, "Biography."

"Yes."

Not long after, Empress Yang came in and bowed her knees.

"Concubine, see Your Majesty."

"Well, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Yang knelt on the futon, quietly watching her husband handle state affairs. For some reason, she felt a little wronged in her heart, and her eyes were a little sore.

After reading a memorial, Li Zhiyun raised his head and said to the queen, "You have been neglected these days. Don't be surprised. The main reason is that Yang Xiang is discussing with me about the establishment of a crown prince. Yang Xiang said that since ancient times, there have been legitimate princes, and they should be registered. Zhao is the prince, I am considering it.

By coincidence, you are here to share your views. "

Empress Yang leaned back and said: "The concubine is just a woman in the deep palace, how can she know the importance, and dare not speak of sacred things. However, the concubine knows that these ministers who have written to His Majesty to appoint the crown prince must have ulterior motives."

"Oh, how do you say it?" Li Zhiyun propped his chin with one hand, looking at the queen with interest.

Empress Yang explained: "Your Majesty is at the peak of his spring and autumn, and he will surely rule the world for a hundred years. Now that the princes have not grown up, how can we know who can shoulder the responsibility of the prince."

Li Zhiyun said indifferently: "But I think what Yang Xiang said is quite reasonable, the reserve position is determined early, and unnecessary troubles can be avoided."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing."

"The queen may wish to share her opinion."

"Yes." Empress Yang said: "Prince, the crown prince of the country, if an incompetent person sits on him, even if he is a son, it will be difficult to convince the public, and then trouble will come. If you don't learn and have no skills in the future, the ministers and concubines don't want to embarrass Your Majesty. Your Majesty conquered the Great Tang Dynasty and went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. How could he choose the prince carelessly."

Li Zhiyun was silent for a while, and then said sadly: "The one who knows me is also a lady."

Hearing this, Empress Yang showed a slight smile on her white face.

Li Zhiyun asked: "By the way, my lady is here, is there something wrong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the concubine is here to seek His Majesty's opinion on the matter of the older maid going out of the palace."

"You are the master of the harem, you can handle this matter yourself, you don't have to ask my opinion."

"The concubine obeys."

After a while, Empress Yang left.

Li Zhiyun said happily: "My queen, she deserves to be honored by her mother."

Gao Liangzhong was at the side with a smiling face, echoing a few words.

Immediately, Li Zhiyun said: "Let's go to the Tai Chi Hall and deliver an order for Guo Fushan to come and see me."

"Yes."

Let's say that Empress Yang returned to Changle Hall and summoned another dowry maid, Huan'er.

"Go to Prime Minister Yang's mansion and send a word to Bengong."

"Madam please tell me."

"Tell him, ask him to be loyal to the king's affairs, and don't be half-hearted."

"Yes."

One day later, Li Zhiyun decreed that Guo Fushan be transferred to the governor's office of Qianzhou, and he took up his post immediately.In addition, Li Jing, the young minister of the Taifu, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War.

As soon as the news spread, the matter about the canonization of the crown prince disappeared immediately.The emperor's sending Guo Fushan down was obviously sending a signal. At present, the emperor has no idea of ​​appointing a prince.And Guo Fushan was punished for writing a book to establish the prince.

At the same time, when the ministers were expecting Yang Gongren to respond, Yang Gongren remained silent.

Pei House.

"Yang Gongren is stable this time." Pei Ju looked at the middle-aged man opposite, with a trace of apology on his face, "Fu Shan, I have troubled you this time."

Guo Fushan shook his head, "Pei Gong, don't blame yourself, even if there is no such thing, His Majesty will release me sooner or later. Yang Gongren didn't move, but I know the reason."

"Oh, talk about it."

"I heard that the queen empress in the palace sent someone to reprimand him."

Hearing this, Pei Ju showed a trace of solemnity on his face.

Guo Fushan said: "Pei Gong, I'm leaving tomorrow, I hope Pei Gong will act carefully in the future."

"Well."

After Guo Fushan left, Pei Ju drank some tea and suddenly sighed.

"One step late, every step late, Mrs. Pei, has lost the opportunity."

Li Zhiyun was very vigilant about the turmoil about the establishment of the crown prince.Because of being too busy recently, Fuyi's news has become slow, so he is so passive.

With this in mind, Li Zhiyun decided to reorganize Fuyi.

Now that Li Zhen and Li Qiang both have formal official positions, they can no longer take care of Fuyi, so they have to be in charge of it.

In a wine shop.

Several big men sat together.

At this time, Li Zhen and Wu Fei walked in, Wu Fei closed the door, and Li Zhen sat in the first place.

"Everyone, the Lord has ordered that starting today, Fuyi will be renamed Xuanyiwei, and the position of leader will be handed over to Wufei."

Without the slightest hesitation, the big men immediately said, "Obey!"

After dark, the emperor stayed overnight in Changle Hall.

"The lady has a cold face, but she is not happy?" Li Zhiyun drank his wine, looked at the beauty under the candle, and began to tease.

Empress Yang looked away angrily, and then couldn't help laughing again.

"Haha." Li Zhiyun laughed.

"Don't laugh!" Empress Yang was annoyed, "I blame you, a bad person, for losing your temper without asking clearly."

"Okay, okay, it's my husband's fault, I will never do it again, please forgive me, my lady." Li Zhiyun coaxed his wife cheekily.

Empress Yang would not be angry with him, since the matter has passed, it is meaningless to mention it again.

The couple got bored for a while, and then went out hand in hand.

At this time, outside Changle Hall, a group of older court ladies and some women who wanted to leave the palace had already gathered.

Li Zhiyun said: "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Your father, elder brother, and younger brother were all my brothers and sisters. Therefore, you are also my sisters. They have done a lot for the Tang Dynasty, but I did not take good care of you." , It was my fault, please, sisters, accept my worship."

Li Zhiyun cupped his hands and saluted.

The maids were at a loss and burst into tears.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "From today onwards, all sisters, you can take the money bestowed by the empress and return home."

The ladies of the court shouted for the benevolence of Your Majesty and Queen.

Empress Yang said: "Don't cry, pack up and go home as soon as possible. Apart from the money, I also prepared some dowries for you. There are not many things. It is my heart."

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Everyone cried even harder.

Letting the maids out of the palace is for the sake of their filial piety.Second, it is to reduce intrauterine expenses.After all, Li Zhiyun doesn't have many women, so he doesn't need so many people to serve him.A batch of the late emperor's women were also released, and another batch of lucky ones and those without heirs were also sent to the temple.Therefore, the palace does not need so many people to serve.

In addition, these court ladies also wanted to go home, so Li Zhiyun simply granted them.

If the Turks are not eliminated, Li Zhiyun will never relax, let alone enjoy himself.

In November of the eighth year of Wude, Taiji Palace released more than [-] court ladies.After the courtiers knew about it, they all praised the emperor and empress for their common people.

For the ministers, the emperor didn't want too many people to serve him, that was the emperor's wish, why should they object.As long as it doesn't affect the operation of the palace, they won't meddle in their own business.

Of course, another group of people considered another matter because of the establishment of the crown prince.

The emperor's concubines seem to be too few, do you want to write a letter to the emperor to accept the concubine?
It's about royal inheritance, so don't be careless.Even though His Majesty the Emperor has a son, but he is very young, what if he dies in the future?
Give birth more, it's also safer.
