Great Tang princess

Chapter 499 Future Plans

From the moment he came to the princess mansion, if one word of every word Di Renjie said was spread, it would be a serious crime of beheading, and no one could save him.

However, at this moment, he was sitting face to face with the princess, talking about the court's movements in recent years, as if he really planned to go all the way to the dark.

In fact, whether it is King Liang or anyone else, as long as Li Yuechen is willing, there is nothing she doesn't know about the affairs of the court.

It's just that Di Renjie didn't seem to know about it. He just saw that it was Li Yuechen who actually gave the order, and that the princess was the emperor hiding in the dark.

Although she didn't know what kind of agreement she had reached with the emperor, Di Renjie knew very well that the current emperor is definitely not the kind of person who can be manipulated at will.

If the princess dominates the royal family, then His Majesty will definitely find a way to deal with her.

After all, the history of the emperor's struggle is very clear to most people in the court today, and it cannot be explained by simple luck.

"In the final analysis, Di Gong has not explained why he came here today." Li Yuechen asked.

But Di Renjie shook his head: "The official has already explained. The official came here today only because of his loyalty to Li Tang's royal family!"

"Then you should go to Brother A, why did you come to me?"

"Among the royal family, the one who can keep the world peaceful is none other than Your Highness." Di Renjie said solemnly.

However, Li Yuechen shook his head: "There is a question, even if I sit on the throne in the future, what do you think about the heir?"

"The princess is still unmarried, and she will be in the future. Naturally, the princess can make reasonable arrangements for the heir." Di Renjie replied.

I have to say that sometimes it is not a good thing for people to be too smart, and it is easy to arouse the fear of others.

Fortunately, Li Yuechen didn't care much about this, she only believed in the power in her hands, as long as she had enough vitality, there was nothing to be afraid of.

She suddenly grinned: "I already understand what Di Gong means, so let's go back today. Don't worry about things in the court, as long as you do your own thing well."

Hearing what she said, Di Renjie also heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that he made the right bet by coming here today.With the help of the princess in the future, there is no need to worry about chaos in the court.

Di Renjie is a smart man, not confused at all, he can see that with this princess around, the imperial power will become more and more concentrated in the future, and the whole world will be changed because of this.

According to his logic, this princess has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and she has researched countless new gadgets, and she is omnipotent in heaven and earth.

So if she wants to concentrate the imperial power, it is the general trend of the world, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to compete.

Come here today to show your loyalty, which can be regarded as seeking a backer for yourself.

It is true that Wu Zetian is very pleased to see him, but he is still loyal to the Li family in his heart, so he hopes that the princess can become his backer.

"Yes!" Di Renjie agreed, "It's just..."

"Don't worry, Di Gong, in the future, this world will still be ruled by the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuechen said with a slight smile.

As soon as this sentence came out, it was considered a statement, and Di Renjie was really relieved. After saluting respectfully, he turned and left.

Seeing his leaving back, Li Yuechen's expression changed several times, until he completely disappeared from sight, and then gradually returned to calm.

I have to say, this guy's life is really tough.

Just now Li Yuechen's new outfit has been thinking several times that he should just kill him, and it will reduce the risk of exposure once everything is done.

But in the end, they all held back and didn't make a move, and watched him walk out of the princess mansion slowly.

Because her heart is still occupied by rationality, Di Renjie was a capable minister with a good reputation in history, so it is a pity to die like this.

So Li Yuechen decided to observe it first. Anyway, the power he has in his hands now is enough to deal with anyone who dares to rebel.

Just because he had enough power in his hand, Li Yuechen didn't mind giving him a chance to try. To put it bluntly, even if he got out of the game by then, he was sure enough to bring him back on track.

It's nothing more than... It's just a little troublesome for the price...

It has to be said that Li Yuechen's thinking has undergone great changes, and it can almost be said that he is completely thinking about problems from the perspective of the emperor.

The emperor can't just think about himself, he must take everything that the whole country may face into consideration.

Di Renjie said that he is loyal to Li Tang's royal family, so give him a chance to prove it.

If it is true, he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future and bless three generations.

……

In the next few days, the big family was basically full of turmoil. The direct line and the collateral line chatted from the negotiating table to the stage, and there were even cases where the head of the family took the initiative to fight.

On the other hand, Li Yuechen stayed with his mother in the palace every day, but after a few days, Wu Zetian seemed to be annoyed by her, so he told her not to go into the palace to disturb her all the time.

Regarding this, Li Yuechen also felt helpless. She had to say that her mother was like this, she couldn't see her for a long time, and she missed her very much.After seeing it, I felt annoyed and flustered.

Then I went to the barracks most of the time every day, and by the way gave some guidance to the Academy of Engineering for their next steam engine research.

It is actually not a very simple matter to double the size of an existing steam engine.

Fist-sized air leaks are inevitable, and the probability of explosion is terribly high. If it is doubled in size, it may be difficult to put it into use.

After all, for such a thing that might explode at any time, every operation is equivalent to a life gamble, and if one is not handled properly, it will be gone.

So Li Yuechen didn't force them to finish it a long time ago, but told them to take it slowly, don't worry, and try to wait until they are sure.

In this situation, the slow development of science and technology is inevitable, but Li Yuechen is not in a hurry.

This is ancient times, there is no arms race between countries, and there is no war pressure from foreign invasion, so there is no need to worry.

The most important thing is that if we start to develop technology from now on, we may be able to make up for some past regrets.

At the beginning, it was because the development of science and technology was too fast and the protection of the environment was ignored, which caused global warming, melting glaciers and various things.

Climate change has brought about a series of problems such as heavy rainstorms that have never happened in a thousand years, severe droughts, and so on.

The most important thing is that natural disasters such as earthquakes are not included in the insurance policy options. That is to say, if an earthquake strikes, the house will be gone, but the mortgage will continue to be repaid.

It may sound unacceptable, but in fact, there are reasons why the law stipulates this.

Li Yuechen used to be just an ordinary person. Even if he became a princess, or even an emperor in the dark, he never thought of changing these regulations, but he could try to avoid these things from another angle.

That is to extend the timeline of scientific and technological development, so that technological development and environmental protection can be carried out at the same time. Anyway, there is still a thousand years before the industrial revolution, and this span is enough.

Although it is impossible for me to supervise them forever, one thing about feudal society is that the ancestral system is still useful in many cases.

Especially Li Yuechen, who is only in her early twenties now, she still has enough time to make herself a living legend, plus pay close attention to the education of the royal family members since they were young, they will still listen to her words.

In feudal society, "custom" has great binding force, and many things, once a custom is formed, are likely to be handed down for a long time.

Take the simplest marriage as an example, even in the future, the words of the matchmaker will no longer have legal effect, but most people will listen to their parents before they get married, and let them talk about whether the person they are looking for is suitable for marriage...

This kind of thing engraved in the genes has never been so easy to change.

……

Many people in big families found that talking to collaterals was not effective, so they chose other methods, such as giving gifts.

Everyone knows that the current emperor doesn't like big families, and she promoted a large number of poor officials after she came to power, so this matter can only be asked of those who may change the emperor's mind.

It just so happened that Princess Taiping came back, maybe I could go and see what she meant.

As for the other sons, forget it, they won't see them at all.

Li Xian was in the military camp, where idlers were not allowed to approach, and without the emperor's or princess's handwriting, they couldn't get in.

Not to mention that he is now a commoner, so he definitely can't get involved in this aspect.

As for the other two princes, they were monitored by the emperor every day, and it was impossible for ordinary people to see them, and the emperor might not listen to what they said.

To say that the only one who can influence the emperor's mind is Princess Taiping.

So many people sent name cards and gifts, expressing their desire to visit the house when they have time in the air. If possible, they even stated on the name cards that they hope the princess can go to have a meal at home...

From this, it can be seen that these families have also spent a lot of money. After all, these days, most people are actually unwilling to invite people from the royal family to eat at home.

After all, if you eat at your house, if you happen to have some uncomfortable symptoms, you will be in big trouble, and the charge of murdering the royal family will never escape.

So these days, generally only the royal family invites other people to dinner, and it is rare for outsiders to invite the royal family to dinner.

From this we can see how far these big families have been forced by this decree.

Along with the famous post, there are various gifts to show my sincerity.

After all, in this country, since ancient times, words are said on the table, and things are done according to etiquette.

Not to mention the majestic royal princess, no matter whether you can meet or not, you must first send a gift to show it.

After reading these famous posts, Li Yuechen shook his head: "Go back and tell them that I am also an unmarried woman after all, so it is not suitable for meeting."

This obvious excuse made the big family who sent the name card almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. How many of the things this princess has done since she was a child are suitable for the status of an unmarried woman?
Now such an obvious excuse to send them all away?This is too perfunctory.

But there is no way, the princess has already put her words here, and no one dared to express any objection, so she had no choice but to admit it.

After all, it is impossible to rebel immediately because of this kind of thing. Now that the Lianzao system has been abolished, and it is just at this time, if you want to rebel suddenly at this time, among other things, those family members will report them first .

……

The three days of living like a year passed quickly, and it was the day of going to court again.

Early in the morning, after Li Yuechen got up and stuffed his stomach casually, he entered the palace and came to the passage early to wait.

Although it is not yet time to announce, the result is basically doomed. If any organization only knows the result when it is published, it is not far from extinction.

For example, in the system of the beautiful country, who is the president, in fact, the results have been analyzed before the votes are released, and it is impossible to know only at the moment of the actual announcement.

The same is true for the monarchy system. Although the result is announced today, it is actually doomed.

Sure enough, after a cutscene, Wu Zetian announced: "Since all the lovers have no objection, then this matter is settled like this!"

In fact, many ministers are shouting opposition in their hearts, but what's the use?
If you dare to stand up and shout against it at this time, not only will you not be able to change the result, but you will probably be beheaded by the emperor for some inexplicable reason such as stepping into the palace with your left foot first.

Today's emperor can almost kill anyone who doesn't like it, without hesitation at all.

So amid the shouts of "Your Majesty's Holy Spirit", the court meeting also came to an end, and this matter was settled.

Li Yuechen in the passage couldn't help laughing, the treasury will soon have money, and then the army can be reformed at the border, and the country's stability has taken another big step forward.

After returning to Jixian Hall holding his mother's arm, Li Yuechen sat down and said, "Mother, since this matter has been settled, the child will go to Qingdao soon."

"Well, let's go." Wu Zetian waved his hand, "Just remember to come back and look at it from time to time."

"Don't worry, I will." Li Yuechen grinned and agreed easily.

Wu Zetian picked up the tea cup: "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about the issue of succession to the throne in the future?"

"This...don't worry, right?" Li Yuechen pouted.

"It's really not urgent, but for anything, you need to make some preparations in advance." Wu Zetian reminded, "Whether it's you or someone else in the future, you should put this matter on your agenda."

Li Yuechen was a little dazed: "What's the point of this? Can't we just make the transition at that time?"

"You, you still think so simple!" Wu Zetian picked up the teacup, "Now I have even changed the title of the country. If the throne is passed on normally, how will the title be changed back? How will the prestige of the new emperor be established?"

"Then what Auntie means..." Li Yuechen was a little dazed, "At that time, we will plan a palace coup?"

Wu Zetian didn't speak, but just took a sip of tea lightly.

"Absolutely not!" Li Yuechen stood up suddenly, and said with a serious face: "My efforts over the years are all to prevent the royal family from fighting each other. If the throne is handed over through such methods, wouldn't all the painstaking efforts of so many years be in vain? ? This is not allowed! Absolutely not!"

　Sorry, there is still only one chapter today.

　　No way, I really can't write it.After all, writing a book is not physical work. If you can’t write it, you can’t write it. Sitting in front of the computer for hours is numb... I apologize to all readers.
