Great Tang princess

Chapter 329
In the past few days, the new emperor Li Xian was in a very good mood.

Not only did the queen who taught him a lesson every day apologize to him, but the new dragon chair, which took more than half a month, was also completed.

The new dragon chair is not as wide as the original one, and it finally looks like a normal chair.

The back of the chair is composed of seven rising dragons intertwined to form a large fan shape. Although it is undulating, there is a strange and comfortable feeling when leaning on the back.

The armrests on both sides are also composed of two dragons. Sitting on it, the two hands can just rest on the dragon's head, increasing the majesty of the emperor.

The bead curtain Houtianhou seats almost have the same feeling, except that they are wrapped in a phoenix pattern, and the back of the chair is exactly the unfolded tail.

Although it looked more like a peacock to Li Yuechen, he had to admit that it looked really pretty.

The aesthetics of the ancients was actually not bad, especially during the Tang Dynasty, when art developed quite well, and in terms of aesthetics alone, it was much better than some future works of art.

Good things happened one after another, Li Xian no longer put on a Sima face when he went to court, but put on a springy smile.

Sitting on the comfortable dragon chair, while listening to the courtiers report the situation, while thinking about what happened last night.

After the upside down Li Xian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Wei Lian'er took a wet towel to help him wipe off the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and said while wiping, "Now that His Majesty's enthronement ceremony is coming up, there must be more people close to him in the future. I wonder if His Majesty has a suitable candidate?"

Although Li Xian was not smart, but he grew up in the royal family, he could still hear the meaning behind her words.

He hugged her in his arms and asked with a light smile, "Who does the queen want to arrange for an official position?"

Wei Lian'er struggled lightly, raised her head and said, "It's not someone else, it's just that it's not easy for Grandpa to raise me up, and now I'm a queen, shining in the family, but seeing that Grandpa is still in a low position, I just can't bear it... ..."

"Hmm..." Li Xian in the sage mode didn't speak, but hummed slightly.

"Furthermore, now that the court is full of ex-officials, His Majesty does not have enough prestige, so it is bound to be inconvenient to carry out many things. But if my grandfather has a higher position, can I share His Majesty's worries?" Wei Lian'er continued.

Li Xian nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing.

But what he actually thinks in his heart is that now his mother will help with the memorial and so on, so he doesn't need to share his worries!There is nothing to do.

But having said that, what Wei Lian'er said is also correct, Wei Xuanzhen is the head of the country no matter what, so she should be given more or less power.

Li Xian didn't think too much about it, it was just because he liked Wei Lian'er very much, so he wanted to satisfy her as much as possible in these aspects.

Some men, after getting their salary, the first thing they think about is whether to buy a bag for their wife or take her out to play... Li Xian is such a man.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Hearing the cry, Li Xian, who was propping his head with one hand on the dragon chair, came back to his senses, "Well, do you have anything else to play?"

The hall was silent, no one spoke.

"I was thinking, Wei Xuanzhen is now the governor of Yuzhou. As the head of the country, this position is really low. I plan to award him the position of servant, what do you think?"

The ministers slightly raised their heads to look at Li Xian.

Although he said it in a questioning tone, his meaning is obvious: I am not asking for your opinions, but just letting you know!
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

Di Renjie was the first to stand up and express his objection, "The head of the state was originally only a member of the army, and he was awarded the title of governor of Yuzhou only because he became the head of the state. He has not been in office for a long time and has no meritorious achievements. How can he be a servant?"

Hearing his objection, Li Xian glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, but there was no resentment in his heart.

After all, Di Renjie is like this, and he is not the first emperor to be sprayed by him, which is normal.

Other ministers also followed suit, with various reasons emerging one after another.

Looking at this scene, Li Xian, the emperor, didn't feel angry, he just lamented in his heart that he was right in his decision not to be emperor!
Seeing this scene today, I feel more and more regretful about sitting on the throne in my heart. I was in a good mood these few days and suddenly became depressed.

Thinking that he might have to face such a situation for the rest of his life, Li Xian was faintly angry.

There is nothing wrong with him having such an idea, after all, not everyone has the desire for power.

Not to mention, it is really tiring to be an emperor when you can be sure of your own safety.

Look at the fourth child, who plays the piano and practice calligraphy at home every day to play with the children, surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, how comfortable.He shouldn't be called King Yu, he should be called King Xiaoyao... Li Xian complained in his heart.

The ministers were almost quarreling, and Pei Yan stood up to make the final conclusion for them: "As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty should be strict with himself and govern the country with heart. How can you let others be nepotism? This is definitely not an act of a wise king..."

Hearing Pei Yan's lesson, Li Xian gritted his teeth with hatred.

It's fine for Di Renjie and the like to slander him, after all, they are right about things and not people, no matter who is wrong, they will slander.

Pei Yan was different, he was trying to catch himself to death, neither Emperor Xiandi nor A Niang dared to vent, not even his younger sister Li Yuechen dared to.

But every time I want to do something, I start to rant, for fear that I don't know him!
Pei Yan's lesson completely ignited the emperor's anger.

Hearing his babbling, Li Xian suddenly got up and shouted, "I am the emperor! Even if I give the world to Wei Xuanzhen, it's all right! Let alone a mere servant?"

……

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's report, Wu Zetian's face darkened instantly: "Where is the emperor now?"

"After returning to heaven, after going down to court, it seems that I have returned to Feixiang Palace." Shangguan Wan'er replied.

Wu Zetian turned his head to Zhang Chengxin and said, "Go and call me that Nizi!"

Hearing her cold tone and knowing how angry she is now, Zhang Chengxin quickly agreed and went.

Li Yuechen next to him stretched out his hand to support his forehead, thinking about it, my brother would say such a thing, and he will definitely be taught a lesson when he comes later.

So he smiled at Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, you should go back first."

"Here."

After a while, Li Xian was called over. Presumably, Zhang Chengxin suggested something on the way, and when he came in, he lowered his head, looking like a good baby after doing something wrong: "Mother!"

"Rebel!"

Wu Zetian stood up abruptly, pointed at his nose and cursed loudly: "As an emperor, you can actually say that you want to hand over the world to others! Do you want to be the king of subjugation?!"

Hearing his mother's roar, Li Xian shrank his neck in fright, "I know my mistake!"

"Wrong?"

Wu Zetian took two steps forward, suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, stared into his eyes and shouted: "How can you solve this move just by knowing your mistake? Do you know what the majesty of an emperor is? Your words, Shame on the face of the Tang royal family!"

Perhaps it was because of too much force, after yelling this sentence, Li Xian didn't do much, but she herself started to wheeze.

Li Xian quickly stretched out his hand to support her: "Mother, sit down first, don't get so angry because of the baby! The baby knows it's wrong, I really can't control it today..."

"Shut up!" Wu Zetian pushed him away, with a look of hatred on his face, "Your grandpa's greatest wish is to live forever! And you..."

Speaking of this, she pointed at Li Xian angrily, "And you actually said that you want to give up the throne to someone with a foreign surname... You are really an emperor in vain!"

After speaking, he sat down angrily, gasping for breath.

Li Yuechen hurriedly went to get the teapot on the table, intending to pour her a cup of tea to let her breathe.It's not the time to persuade her yet, so let her scold her a few words first, and let her calm down before talking.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian was slightly taken aback when he heard these words, and then a vague sense of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He asked cautiously, "Then how about I... abdicate?"

Li Yuechen was startled suddenly, opened his eyes wide and raised his head to look at the third brother. He didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Wu Zetian was also taken aback, and turned to look at Li Xian.

Li Xian still maintained that cautious look, but the unconcealed sense of anticipation in his eyes was even more obvious.

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Zetian suddenly turned his head left and right to observe, and suddenly reached out to pick up the ruler on the table and was about to throw it at him.

"Auntie, this won't work!"

Li Yuechen next to her quickly grabbed her wrist and snatched the jade ruler from her hand. If this thing hit her head, it would at least make a hole.

"Rebel!"

Wu Zetian cursed and reached out to push her daughter, as if she really wanted to beat her son to death.

However, how could Li Yuechen be pushed by a weak woman like her?After pushing twice, I couldn't push it away, but was held by my daughter and not only backed away.

"Chen'er, get out of the way! Today I'm going to kill this traitor!" Wu Zetian yelled, trying to grab the ruler from her daughter's hand.

Seeing his mother's ferocious roar, Li Xian was taken aback: "Why did Aunt want to kill the boy? Today, the boy just couldn't control his temper..."

"Okay, brother, stop talking!" Li Yuechen turned his head to persuade while hugging Wu Zetian, "You go back first, I will tell my mother!"

"But..." Li Xian hesitated a little.

"Go!"

Li Yuechen urged loudly, "Now Auntie is getting angry, she will really beat you to death in a while!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Xian shivered, and hurriedly saluted Wu Zetian: "Retire, my child!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran out of Renshou Hall!
"Nizi, stop!" Wu Zetian yelled again.

"Okay, okay, mother, calm down, don't get angry!"

Li Yuechen advised her while stopping her, wanting her to sit down first.

This is naturally not a difficult task, but she has no way to use coercive means on her mother, so she can only control her own strength, and pull her to sit down while advising.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the chair, was still panting heavily, Li Yuechen quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Okay, auntie, don't be angry. My brother is always like this, being the emperor is hard for him..."

"Since sitting on the dragon chair, how can you not know the responsibilities of the emperor?" Wu Zetian said in an atmosphere.

"Oh, brother, I didn't want to be the emperor..." Li Yuechen said.

To be honest, Li Yuechen's original purpose was to change the tradition of blood fratricide in the royal family, but he didn't expect that the tradition had changed now, and he didn't even want to be an emperor anymore.

What's more, the third brother had always resisted when the crown prince was established, but now that he really sits on the throne, not only is he not attracted by power, but he shows up all day long.

If things go on like this, the interior of the royal family will indeed be fine, but maybe the Tang Empire will also be rotten.

After sighing, Li Yuechen seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and turned to look at Wu Zetian: "Mother, why don't I be the emperor?"

At the same time as he said these words, Li Yuechen also lowered his head, as if fighting against himself again.

She never thought of being an emperor, not only because she knew she was not that material, but the biggest reason was that she didn't want to be an emperor!
That's right, I just don't want to!
She is an outdoorsman by nature, she likes to chase the wind and freedom, and really doesn't want to let herself be trapped in the dragon chair for the rest of her life.

But she can't just watch the family business left by her father go down the drain. Since her two elder brothers are unwilling, she can shoulder the responsibility herself.

Hearing these words, Wu Zetian looked up at her.

Then he sighed slightly, raised his hand and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Like Saburo, you don't want to be an emperor in your heart, I know it well. But you know more about responsibility than Saburo, and you also know what you should do when you sit on the dragon chair. But not yet!"

Li Yuechen raised his head and looked at his mother in confusion, not knowing what she meant.

"I have talked to your grandfather before. You are not a character who can lift a butcher's knife. Even if you understand how to reform to make Tang Dynasty better, you will not be able to use strong and bloody means to achieve this goal after all." Wu Zetian said softly.

She knew her daughter well, and she might be able to kill enemies, but she couldn't be cruel to people who were not enemies.

"The policy you proposed, whether it is me or your grandfather, supports it. But if you want to change it, there are still countless enemies that need to be cleaned up along the way!"

Wu Zetian's expression suddenly became firm: "So, this emperor, do it for your mother!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen suddenly raised his head: "Aniang is planning to use bloody means to kill all the opposition?"

"If you have a better way, then I'll listen to you!" Wu Zetian replied calmly.

"But..." Li Yuechen, who agreed with this point, couldn't believe it, "but most of them are from the royal family, and the rest of the old nobles are also my Tang people..."

"When they are on the opposite side of the emperor, they are enemies!" Wu Zetian interrupted her daughter, "It's still the same sentence, if you have a better way, then listen to you! If you don't, then listen to me of!"

Li Yuechen fell silent. She really couldn't think of a better way to make them compromise. Rather, in the entire history of mankind, every change was accompanied by bloody actions.

"But A Niang becomes the emperor, if..."

"It's okay, if one day I do it well, Chen'er can pull me off the dragon chair at any time." Wu Zetian grinned suddenly, "The will of your grandpa to you shows that you are ready at any time." Is it the right of the Qing emperor?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen was startled, and asked subconsciously, "How did Aunt know about this?"

"Heh... my man, of course I know better than you!" She replied with a confident smile on her face.
