Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 457 Wu Zhao
Whether in ancient times or later generations, the most important sign of an adult is to take responsibility. Diseases come from the mouth, and disasters come from the mouth. People like Wu Yuanqing.

In fact, Wu Yuanqing's crime was not serious, at most he was outspoken. The dudes in Chang'an City didn't have such or such a temper. Relying on the power of their family, it was inevitable that they would pretend to be in front of others.

However, it was unlucky that Wu Yuanqing encountered something that even the emperor was concerned about this time, and the Cheng brothers who were on errands didn't have a bright head.

What is even more unlucky is that the emperor is now very strict with the former ministers who received titles in the Wude Dynasty. He will be dismissed from office and seize the title for a minor offense. This is why Li Chengqian removed the four county princes of the Wu family in one go.

In this way, because of the demotion of the Wu family, the city of Chang'an was in turmoil. Many nobles stepped up their tails and restrained their children. After all, no one knows when, what excuses the emperor and the prince will use to reduce their titles. .
Li Chengqian is very happy these days, everything is pleasing to the eye, even when he sees Li Ke jumping in the hall, he doesn't feel any anger in his heart, why is that?

It turned out that Dugu Miaoyin was pregnant after being checked by the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, that is to say, in seven or eight months, she was going to be a father. How could this not make him excited!Although he has been in Datang for many years, Li Chengqian has already gotten used to the life here, but he always feels that he is a rootless apple.

And it can also let Dugu Miaoyin rest the burden in her heart. It is not easy for her to be a princess. People outside say that she is the only favorite house. Everyone's eyes are fixed on her belly. Look at the future of this empire. Can the mother of the country help the clan to give birth to the first heir and continue the country.

This time she can breathe a sigh of relief, because Princess Wu and Princess Wei have not moved at all so far, and she, the eldest wife, can finally explain to the clan and the court.

After learning that she was going to become a grandmother soon, Empress Changsun immediately took over the palace duties undertaken by Dugu Miaoyin, and at the same time issued an edict ordering Lu Yun, the wife of Xinxiang County Duke Wu Guang - the former Qin Palace and female official of the internal code - Lu Yun to be the minister. Palace, assisting the princess in handling the internal affairs of the East Palace.

According to the code, a married female official is not allowed to return to the inner court to serve, but there is no way, the queen loves her daughter-in-law, so what if she finds someone she can trust, whoever has an opinion!

Eccentricity is eccentricity. The eldest grandson has long thought about it. Whether it is for the sake of the community or raising children to guard against the old, among the three sons born by himself, he can also point to the wise, so I make an exception for him. The eldest grandson I don't care about the gossip that favors one over the other.

For the queen mother's arrangement, Li Chengqian agreed with all his hands. Lu Yun was absolutely loyal to him, and he didn't try to repay him at all. It would be a waste for such a person to let her run the daily necessities at home. Anyway, the three boys in their family They were all studying at Cangwen Academy, and Wu Guang was transferred to Beiya again, so it was a relief to come to the East Palace to work as an errand. .
Just finished talking with the emperor at the Chengqing Palace about the funds for this year's canals and canals. Li Chengqian plans to go to the Ministry of Households to talk with Changsun Wuji to see if he can use cement to build some permanent river embankments. After all, there are Hu County reconstructions. And the successful experience of road rectification in Chang'an City is here. If you don't use it to benefit the people early, it would be too wasteful.

What's more, there are still such prisoners of war captured from Tuyuhun in Guanzhong. It is too cheap for them to just build roads and build houses. Why not maximize their utility, otherwise those vain buns will be wasted.

When they got to the gate of the palace, two palace maids holding fruits came to meet him. Seeing the prince approaching, they quickly knelt on the ground to pay their respects.Nodding his head, Li Chengqian was about to leave, but before he lifted his foot, Li Chengqian stopped because of the strange behavior of a court lady, and she was silent, kowtowing fiercely, even if her forehead was broken. .

"Okay, don't knock anymore, you are new to the palace, you don't have such big rules, get up quickly!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the little maid stopped, raised her head and ignored the blood on her forehead, and said with a grateful expression: "Slave Wu, thank you His Highness the Crown Prince for punishing that scum of Wu Yuanqing. From now on, the slaves will pray for Your Highness in front of the altar every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless His Highness!"

Ah, Li Chengqian was really taken aback when the little palace lady finished speaking. Wu Zetian, you finally showed up. Ah, it turns out that a generation of empresses were so beautiful when they were young. no more.

"But the Duke of Ying, the daughter of the warrior Xun?"

"Exactly, the servant girl is the second daughter, Wu Zhao."

En, nodded, Li Chengqian asked casually: "From your tone, it seems that this Wu Yuanqing's filial piety is not enough. However, you don't have to be grateful to Gu, he has his own fault today, and he also dealt with you three times. Uncle, it’s not bad if you don’t invite people to complain!”

After hearing the prince's words, Wu Zhao showed emotion on his face, and immediately said: "Death is like a lamp going out, human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold. After my father passed away, everything has changed. What can people in the family do to fight for property? Come out, or else this servant, the lady of the Duke's family, wouldn't do it either."

Wu Zhao didn't finish what she said, but Li Chengqian also understood what she meant. The young ladies in Xungui's family were basically married, and they either stayed in the Xiulou or played with other little sisters every day. It is a carefree age.

But for her, not only did she have to do heavy work every day, but she also had to abide by the strict palace rules, which was difficult for her.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian took out the seal from his bosom, squatted down, printed it on the hands of Wu Zhao and the two, and then said: "We met today, it can be regarded as fate, Ying Guogong has made great contributions to the country, and the Li family can also be regarded as good luck." Shijiao, go see Gan Yun in a while, and tell him to arrange easier work for you, and if you have a chance to be promoted, promote him!"

"Slaves Wu Zhao and Xu Hui thank His Royal Highness for your great kindness. In this life, I will tie a straw title ring to repay His Highness' great kindness!"

"Okay, grace, I can give it to you, whether you can grow up or not depends on your own rebellion!" After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at the two and said with a smile.

After Li Chengqian left, Xu Hui looked at Li Chengqian's back and smiled quietly, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped Wu Zhao's face, and said: "Sister, His Royal Highness is really a good person, we From now on, we will no longer have to wake up early and stay late at night, and with this greeting from him, we will definitely have our share in the selection of female officials in the future!"

Hearing Xu Hui's words, Wu Zhao nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's a small effort for him, and he doesn't need to pay anything in return, but for us, it's a great kindness!".
