Great Tang princess

Chapter 217 Countermeasures from all parties
Inside the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi was holding a health ball in his left hand, and holding a teacup in his right hand in front of his face, gently blowing the hot air from the mouth of the cup.

Wu Zetian was reviewing the memorial at the side, and seemed to be concentrating on the work in front of him.

In front of the table with a respectful face, Zhang Chengxin, the head of the big house, was reporting the matter: "These rumors have been widely circulated below recently. The scope is a bit large. If you want to investigate, you must make a big fanfare, and you can't keep it secret..."

After listening to his report, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on Li Zhi's originally expressionless face: "At first, I thought they had such a powerful move, but I didn't expect it to be such a trick..."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to underestimate it," Wu Zetian reminded, "I'm afraid that child Xian'er..."

"Xian'er has been smart since she was a child, has a brilliant literary talent, and is not a fool, how can she believe such rumors?" Li Zhi shook his head.

Although this son does have many shortcomings, he is easily mistaken for his cleverness.

But the level of this method is too low. If he can't tell the difference, he is really an idiot.

Wu Zetian also agrees with this point, but she also understands that the second child is easy to get into the horns of some things, if he thinks too much, maybe he really falls into their way.

Li Zhi waved his hand to let Zhang Chengxin go out first, and then lay down on the rocking chair: "Meiniang is worried that Xian'er will follow her tricks, and really regards Chen'er as an enemy?"

Wu Zetian nodded: "As His Majesty said, he may not believe the rumors. But this is indeed a reminder to him..."

"This can be regarded as a test for him!" Li Zhi said softly, "To be an emperor, you need to find a balance between autocracy and decentralization. Since ancient times, no emperor can solve everything by himself, and cannot trust others at the same time. , but also have the capacity to tolerate people! This is the way of the emperor!"

Li Zhi's meaning is very clear, the boss is not so easy, the emperor wants to do it for a long time, it is not an easy task at all.

Wu Zetian asked: "Then you want to beat him?"

"..." Li Zhi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head and smiled, "Meiniang can decide for herself on this matter!"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Wu Zetian asked in surprise.

Seeing her eyes wide open with surprise, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zetian is older than Li Zhi, so even after bringing her back from Ganye Temple, the two of them usually get along with each other, but she always looks like a big sister.

And Li Zhi always tries to see her less "big sister" side when she is free.

So he once recruited her own sister and niece into the harem just to see how jealous she looked.

But now that she suddenly looked like this, she must have misunderstood what she meant.

She doesn't look like a "big sister". Li Zhi has been watching her for so many years, and he will never get tired of seeing her.

Seeing his expression of wanting to laugh but holding back, Wu Zetian couldn't figure out what he meant, and stayed silent for a moment.

Li Zhi didn't speak, just looked at each other with her.

Wu Zetian felt a little apprehensive about being looked at, and couldn't help avoiding his sight for a while.

Seeing her appearance, Li Zhicai couldn't help laughing: "Meiniang doesn't need to think too much, just make up your own mind."

"So...why?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Zhi's expression suddenly became a little lonely: "I still want to live a few more years...I can't bear you, I can't bear Chen'er...So in the future, Mei Niang will take care of all the big and small matters, I don't want to take care of it anymore."

"His Majesty……"

Before she could say anything, she was stopped by Li Zhi with a wave of his hand: "My body is getting worse day by day. If I worry about these things again, I'm afraid I'm going to be exhausted. If it was before, it's fine, but now there are people out there. Chen'er, with Mei Niang inside, I can enjoy a few years of happiness..."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's tone revealed helplessness and unwillingness: "If I can live a few more years, and see this Tang Dynasty is more prosperous and powerful, I can die with peace..."

"His Majesty!"

Wu Zetian got up, came behind him and gently hugged him in his arms: "Young slave will be fine, and you can live a long life!"

Li Zhi raised his hand with a smile, held her hand and stroked it gently: "Okay, Mei Niang doesn't need to be comforted, life and death are fate, I can accept... besides, now with you and Chen'er, this country, I also There is nothing to worry about!"

After saying this, Li Zhi's complexion suddenly turned rosy, as if a worker who had been working hard for a day suddenly unburdened himself and felt extremely comfortable and comfortable.

……

The message in the palace did not attract too many people's attention, and it seemed that it was only circulated among the servants in a small range.

Although this rumor involved Li Yuechen, everyone knew that it was directed at the prince.

After all, as long as the prince is not on good terms with the princess and the queen, the only ones he can count on when he becomes emperor are the ministers.

Wu Zetian and his wife didn't order a thorough investigation, as if they didn't know.

It's just that what the ministers didn't expect was that the emperor didn't attend the grand court meeting on August [-]th!
Zhang Chengxin yelled on the stage that His Majesty was ill, and that the court would be presided over by the Queen of Heaven, but this incident really made the ministers feel unbelievable.

Although Li Zhi had not participated in ordinary court meetings since the past few years, at least he would still participate in the grand court meetings. The purpose was also to tell the officials of the capital who came to attend that the emperor had not changed.

But now that they didn't even come to the Dachaohui, one can imagine what will happen next.

The Queen of Heaven faction will definitely take advantage of the trend to rise, and the situation in the DPRK and China may face a wave of reshuffle by then.

This made many ministers break out in cold sweat, and there were quite a few who opposed Tianhou in the court. If Tianhou's family was really allowed to dominate in the future, their life would definitely be difficult.

……

On the other side, Shangguan Wan'er, who had finished her work in the morning, came to the newspaper office and sat down with the written meeting minutes.

Princess Yiyang was sitting behind the table writing something, when Gao Yanfu who was next to her saw Shangguan Wan'er coming in, she hurriedly saluted: "Shangguan Shangyi!"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"I found it. It's a young eunuch in charge of purchasing in the palace." Gao Yanfu replied respectfully, "It's closer to Fan Yang Lu."

Princess Yiyang frowned: "The Lu family would never dare to spread such rumors."

Shangguan Wan'er also nodded: "Can you dig a little deeper?"

Gao Yanfu looked a little embarrassed: "Shangyi, my current ability is only here, if I continue to go deeper, I can't hide this matter!"

"They want to put His Highness to death!" Shangguan Wan'er frowned tightly, "If such rumors arouse the suspicion of the sage or the crown prince, His Highness will be in danger in the future! Think of a way and see if you can get deep Dig it, but don't reveal it!"

"Yes!" Gao Yanfu nodded, "I promise to dig as deep as I can without revealing myself!"

The matter of investigating this rumor was not ordered by the emperor or anyone else, but the result of discussions between Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er themselves.

Among other things, Princess Yiyang knew very well that she and her sister were all counting on Li Yuechen to keep them safe.

If something goes wrong with Li Yuechen, I'm afraid she and her younger sister Xuancheng will be cleaned up by Tianhou sooner or later.

Therefore, only by protecting Li Yuechen well can the two sisters be safe.

And Shangguan Wan'er is still a young girl now, in her opinion, Her Highness the Princess is very important to her, so it doesn't matter even if she secretly betrays the emperor for her.

Now only Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Yiyang know about this matter, but after all, this matter needs to be done by someone.

After the two discussed it, they decided to let Gao Yanfu do it!
At the same time, Princess Yiyang also asked Xiao He to keep a close eye on him, as long as he betrayed His Highness, she would find a way to make him disappear.

Fortunately, Gao Yanfu is also a smart person who can see the situation clearly.Now that the emperor is not in good health, even if he goes to rely on the emperor, this backer will not be able to protect him for a few years.

In this case, he has only two choices, either to seek refuge with the prince, or to completely become a princess and go all the way to the dark.

But he is a member of the newspaper, even if he goes to join the prince, the prince may not trust him.

So if you want to be reused, it is better to firmly become a princess and go all the way to the dark.

And after the military report from the front line came, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the future princess must have a very high prestige in the army.

As long as the emperor favors her and doesn't take away her military power, there is still a good chance of winning against the crown prince in the future.

This "win" does not refer to becoming the emperor, but to become the kind of military leader that the emperor dare not easily provoke!
Of course, the most important thing is that after coming to the newspaper office for so long, Gao Yanfu also has a certain understanding of Li Yuechen.

It must be a very comfortable thing if he can gain importance under this princess in the future.

If you take a closer look, you will know that His Highness is fighting at the border, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs here, but Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er dare to investigate for her at the risk of the emperor's silence. It shows the personality charm of this princess.

And Li Yuechen, who was at the border, couldn't imagine that she had made a plan for herself since she was a child not to get involved in the court situation.

But under various chances and coincidences, he was still involved without knowing it.

……

On the other hand, Li Yuechen, who spent August [-]th in the army, felt quite boring.

Because nutrition cannot be guaranteed, the army of this era cannot train every day. As a result, these soldiers are basically lazy every day when they have no battle to fight.

Li Yuechen, who was walking in the barracks, felt quite bored seeing such a scene, and at the same time thought in his heart that he should train his hundreds of guards well in the future.

First of all, she knows how to train in the military camp, not to mention that she is an athlete herself, and she has an absolute right to speak in terms of physical training.

When the farm has stabilized in the future, I will tell my father when I go back to train my group of guards to become real professional soldiers.

It's just that in terms of training subjects, we still have to learn from the army of this era. Unless we can manufacture firearms, it is impossible to completely copy the future model.

Li Yuechen didn't bother to continue to watch these soldiers anymore, instead he asked Geng Yunqiang and others to accompany him to do actual combat training in the posthouse every day.

The number of people practicing duels has really increased to ten people, allowing Li Yuechen to experience the joy of Master Ye.

She herself didn't think that her combat power had improved much, but Geng Yunqiang and others who were in charge of training her didn't think so.

Perhaps it was because he had personally gone to the battlefield and killed people, Li Yuechen's moves now are much fiercer than before.

Ten of them deal with one of her, and they have to be extra careful, otherwise they are really easy to be knocked down with a stick.

This is still a gun stick. If you use a hammer, then there is no need for pair training. It is really just one hammer.

Geng Yunqiang would bring different people over to practice with Li Yuechen every day, the purpose was to make her adapt to the different moves of different enemies.

Of course, Li Yuechen did not treat this group of people badly. Every day at noon, she would eat with this group of soldiers who served as her training partner, and she could also see some meat. Although it was not much, at least the taste was much better.

……

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of August.

Although it is still very hot at noon, the temperature has gradually turned cooler in the morning and evening.

After practicing in the morning, Li Yuechen was about to have a meal with Geng Yunqiang and others at noon, but Fulai suddenly ran over excitedly.

"Your Highness, His Highness Yiyang and others sent it..."

Before he finished speaking, Fulai saw Geng Yunqiang and others, coughed, and came to Li Yuechen and said in a low voice: "I sent three carts of canned food, and the sage also sent a letter..."

"Okay, I see." Li Yuechen nodded, and didn't go to read it directly. Instead, he took out the letter written by his family and read it after having dinner with Geng Yunqiang and the others in the lobby of the post house.

This time, the two sisters and sister-in-law did not write letters separately, but everyone wrote their words in one letter, including Shangguan Wan'er.

The same is true for my father and mother. The words of the two people are also written in the same letter, which can be seen from the handwriting of the two.

Regardless of whether it is the sisters or the parents, they just said some commonplace things in the letter, and at the same time said that they have received her brilliant achievements over there. Now that the newspapers are walking around, it is estimated that the whole country already knows about it.

Seeing this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but think, if there is a microblog in this era, then probably his comment area has fallen by now, right?

It's a pity that even if she is famous in this era, not many people know what she looks like, and there will be no situation where people ask for autographs wherever she goes.

In the letter, my parents asked her to take good care of her, but she was not stingy in her compliments. As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, having such a record has invisibly raised the prestige of the royal family, so the couple are now very fond of this daughter. I like it even more.

While eating the canned food, Li Yuechen looked at the letter from his parents, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention, these two emperors were actually quite cute at certain times, at least in front of their own daughter.

But the current Li Yuechen has been influenced by the royal family for many years after all. Although the letters from his family say that nothing happened, but after thinking about it carefully, it is impossible for his glorious achievements to be passed back without any influence, right?
