Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 727 But it's an afterthought
Sandalwood wraps around the nose, the fiber light is soft and warm, and the indoor scenery is full of life and interest.

However, it is after the fact.

From time to time, there is a common saying among judges: Do I lack one or two traffic?

The answer is: the river crab god is everywhere.

Mrs. Changsun was sitting pretty on a round stool, straightening her shirt in front of the mirror, her complexion was ruddy and white, full of color and full of energy.

The emperor leaned against the soft cushion, his middle coat was snow-white, his long hair fell down on the skirt, and he was studying carefully with a book in his hand.

After Changsun finished tidying up, he turned around and saw the emperor reading a book, and couldn't help smiling as if thinking of something that violated peace.

"Lady, the ginseng soup is ready." The maid came and reminded softly.

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Changsun's family offered ginseng soup.

Smelling the deliciousness of the ginseng soup, Li Zhiyun looked at Changsun and said: "In the past, I was in love with the queen, and she never underestimated me. I don't want to be underestimated by you today. It seems that the person who just said to disarm and surrender is not You, but me."

Changsun gave him a blank look, gently blew on the ginseng soup, and brought it to the emperor's mouth.

"Your Majesty should put the country's affairs first. If you don't have a strong body, how can you manage politics. A concubine is a woman. She enjoys the pleasure of fish and water without worrying about everything. She can cultivate herself at any time, but your majesty can't do it. Temporary pleasure is not acceptable, and your majesty should do it at any time." Pay attention to your body. The concubine is in the mansion, as long as your majesty is free, you can come here at any time."

Li Zhiyun smiled, took the ginseng soup and drank it down.

"How about being relieved once I have been depressed for many years?"

"Your Majesty!" Changsun's pretty face flushed, she gave him a coquettish look, picked up the tea bowl, and handed it to the maid.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun couldn't help laughing.

The two frolicked for a while, then embraced and rested.

"Guanyin maidservant, do you know that when you married into Tang Guogong's mansion, I secretly felt it was a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that I was not yet of marriageable age." After speaking, Li Zhiyun laughed at himself.Even if Li Shimin didn't marry the eldest grandson back then, it wouldn't be his turn.

Because, back then, I was just a bastard.

Changsun didn't answer, just closed his eyes and rested.

Seemingly knowing that she didn't want to bring up the past, Li Zhiyun changed the subject and said, "If Wei Zheng hadn't blocked you from accepting you into the palace, why would I need to take a few extra steps at this moment."

"Your Majesty is a concubine. Is it difficult to take a few extra steps?" Changsun asked.

"It's not embarrassing, it's just wronging you. Do you know that I have even thought about your concubine name, but it's a pity that Wei Zheng is all to blame!" Li Zhiyun said angrily.

Changsun felt a little amused, and persuaded: "Wei Shangshu, all he wants is for His Majesty's reputation, so His Majesty must not be angry because of this."

"I've already been angry." Li Zhiyun sighed, "Why don't I know that Wei Zheng is a loyal minister, but he is too rigid and doesn't know how to be flexible. I accept you. The one who has a bad reputation is myself. Why should he be so strict."

"Because he is His Majesty's minister, if His Majesty's reputation is damaged, it is his responsibility." Chang Sun said: "Your Majesty must not be self-willed."

Li Zhiyun laughed, "You are not afraid of falling out of favor, dare to teach me such a lesson."

"Courts and concubines are not afraid." Changsun smiled and said: "Today's happiness is already in the concubine's extravagance, and I dare not ask for anything else."

The two whispered for a while, and in the evening, when Li Lizhi came back from school, she was not surprised to see the emperor at her home, she was very peaceful.

The three of them ate together, and Li Zhiyun left Qin Palace.

That night, Li Lizhi rested with her mother, the eldest grandson.

"Aniang seems to be looking good today." Li Lizhi whispered her opinion.

If the candle hadn't been extinguished at this moment, Changsun would have been too ashamed.

"Little girl, who taught you." She tapped her daughter's head.

Li Lizhi grinned, tilted her head and hugged A Niang.

"Aniang, do you want to marry Your Majesty?"

Changsun asked, "Who taught you to say such things?"

"There was a rumor in the school, but my daughter didn't believe it before, but after His Majesty came to live with us every day, my daughter believed it." Li Lizhi whispered.

"Don't you want to marry Your Majesty for your mother?"

Li Lizhi was confused: "But, aren't we and His Majesty a family? How can A Niang marry His Majesty?"

"That's right, so those are all lies." Mrs. Changsun hugged her daughter and patted her gently, "Get some rest, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"Ow."

The night was getting dark, Li Zhiyun slowly returned to the palace.Today, after spending a whole day with Guanyin's servant girl, he went straight to the Ganlu Hall to rest.

The prosperity of peace in the world has already begun to take shape.In the past few years, the war has subsided, and the life of Tang people has become better and better.

Most of the memorials submitted by the governor of the local state tended to be calm, but Li Zhiyun felt that it was not so simple. He marked some obviously problematic memorials and planned to send the censor to check them out.

After dealing with government affairs for a while, Gao Liangzhong walked over gently and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's midnight, it's time to rest."

"It's time?" Li Zhiyun put down the memorial.

"Yes."

Li Zhiyun let out a long breath, "Let's rest, there will be a grand court tomorrow."

"Yes."

His life is like this.

There are opportunities for greed, but most of the time you have to deal with government affairs at your desk.It would never be so hard to be a foolish king, but unfortunately, he doesn't want to be a foolish king.

At this moment, Chang'an City has fallen into a deep sleep and silence.Except for Pingkangfang, all other places have turned off their lights to rest.

Occasionally, one would hear a certain noble lady angrily scolding her husband for not coming home at night, which would then trigger a flurry of panic.

Or, a kid from the family played around outside and didn't come back until late at night, and was sanctioned by his parents.

Of course, cock crowing and dog barking are also indispensable.

In the dead of night, there was a sudden burst of mourning in the northwest corner of Chang'an, followed by the lights flashing on.

Chu Wang Li Daoxuan walked out of his concubine's room, mumbling dissatisfaction and asked: "Which family is dead, why don't you cry at night."

"Your Majesty, it seems to be Mr. Xuanzhen." The servant replied.

"Huh?" Li Daoxuan was completely sleepy, "Pei Ji?"

Pei Ji, whose name is Xuanzhen.After begging for bones, people at that time called him Xuanzhen Gong.

"Yes." The servant replied.

Li Daoxuan was speechless for a while, he was just talking casually, never thought that if someone died, it was Pei Ji.

"Let the housekeeper prepare for it. My king will go to offer my condolences tomorrow."

"Yes."

The news of Pei Ji's death spread throughout Chang'an the next day.Officials with good relations will go to condole in person, and those with ordinary relations will send their sons or younger brothers to show respect.

Li Zhiyun was not surprised when he knew that Pei Ji had died, but occasionally he could not help but sigh with emotion.In the past, Pei Ji was the late emperor's confidant.

Although he was not one of his own, Li Zhiyun didn't do anything to him when he got to know him later.Compared with the fate in history, it is a blessing that Pei Ji died of illness in Chang'an.

Immediately, the emperor ordered that Pei Ji be posthumously awarded as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Governor of Xiangzhou, and Duke of Wei.

What happened to Pei Ji did not cause any disturbance after all.It is already a blessing for the dignitaries of the former emperor who lost their power to enjoy the longevity under the rule of today's saints, so why ask for anything else.

Over the years, the older generation of courtiers were either sick on the couch and unable to take care of themselves, or died prematurely, and most of them passed away unknowingly.After Pei Ji's death, Li Zhiyun ordered to comfort a group of former emperor's veterans, and gave them food to show that the court had not forgotten them.

A few days later, Pei Ji was buried in Xianling.

During his lifetime, he and the first emperor had the closest relationship, and after death, they will naturally be together.Li Zhiyun will not disgust people after death, the premise is that this person was not his sworn enemy in life.

The first emperor regarded Pei Ji as a close friend, and Li Zhiyun was also willing to help their monarchs and ministers.Maybe Pei Ji is not a pure minister of the humerus, but he is definitely a hero of the Tang Dynasty. This is true and there is no doubt about it.
