Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 119 Analysis
Shen Sanwen already had a lot of experience in taking care of her for the second time.But the morning sickness in the first few months is still very distressing.It's just that the princess hated the wordy words, and finally sent him out to deal with the forces supporting Li Xian, maybe it was a little annoying, or maybe she didn't want him to see herself so haggard.

Shen Sanwen also started a life of going out early and returning late. Now that the princess is not in good spirits, he has to consider that the baby should not be overworked. Many forces will inevitably take advantage of this time to move around, and he has to shoulder the burden on his shoulders.

The government was really difficult for Shen Sanwen. Fortunately, Cui Xuan and Song Jing had made suggestions at this time. Shen Sanwen invited Wang Bin many times, but he never agreed. There was no way to change his ideas overnight. It can be considered that Shen San asked the right person.

The three discussed how to deal with Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Yao Chong.Wang Qian had already withdrawn Mingli's support for Wudan. Since Wudan had given up by himself, there was no point in insisting on it, and he would inevitably be hated by the King of Luling.

Song Jing analyzed slowly, "Yao Chong is greedy for power and position, and he is a person who follows the trend. As long as he is allowed to bear some consequences and cannot resist His Majesty's decision, he will not care about this matter. Zhang Jianzhi is extremely cautious. Although he supported the King of Luling, he refused to say a word, and he refused to use a new word. He just echoed Di Renjie and showed his attitude. He was also waiting for other people to make His Majesty suffer. The subjects respect him, and now we can't do anything to him, this person is the most difficult to deal with."

Cui Xuan took out a prescription, "This is the medicine Master Di usually takes. He is already suffering from illnesses, but he is just supporting his body and continuing to live every day. This matter is kept secret. It is too much for him to remonstrate every time now. Anxious, inevitably ill-considered, Your Majesty may not be able to comply with his request."

This is not good news, Di Renjie still has a lot of weight in Emperor Wu's heart.Shen San asked again and asked a new question, "Old Di's health is indeed not good, probably in the past two or three years. If he asked His Majesty to release him to King Luling before he left, it would be very difficult for His Majesty not to agree. We must let Di Make other requests."

Cui Xuan lightly shook the folding fan and tapped it twice in his hand, "When Master Di was in Fengzhou, he had a deep relationship with Wang Fangyi. Although Wang Fangyi is not as noble as King Luling, he can comfort the people and protect the territory. In Master Di's heart, the people of the world are far away from each other. It is more valuable than the emperor, and if something happens to the capital governor, Master Di will definitely do his best to rescue him."

Shen San asked: "There is Master Lou in the court. Although he and Wang Fangyi seem to have no intersection, they are probably closer than brothers. With him, His Majesty will believe that Wang Fangyi will not need Di Renjie's hand."

Song Jing: "Nowadays the Turks are making moves from time to time, and Hei Chi Changzhi can't be bothered about the two places. It's better to invite Prime Minister Lou to go out again."

Shen San asked: "Master Lou is getting older now, and he walks much slower than ordinary people. I can't bear to do that."

Cui Xuan: "It doesn't matter how trivial it is to make a big deal."

Shen San asked: "No, Master Lou didn't hinder the princess, attacked rashly, and sent him down, not to mention that we don't have such ability, this will make His Majesty dissatisfied to some extent, and the hurdles in my heart will not pass. A person who dedicated his life to the country The elderly should not be treated like this."

Song Jing also agreed, "Since the son-in-law is unwilling to do this, it is better to work hard from Junchen. He can sit firmly in the court after falsely accusing Lord Di of treason and is favored by His Majesty. Lord Di has nothing to do with him, and the courtiers are afraid of him." If he investigates and punishes those who form parties with Li Xian for personal gain, no one will dare to speak up, Di Renjie will be alone, and no one will bring up this matter again."

Shen San asked: "Lai Junchen only listens to His Majesty's orders, and doesn't take soft and hard ones. Now he has a big appetite, so it's hard to please."

Cui Xuan: "Lai Junchen is alert and suspicious. If he doesn't get a clear order from His Majesty and there is no obvious evidence, he will not act rashly. What should we do?"

Shen Sanwen sorted out his thoughts a little bit, and went to pay a visit. Now if Lai Junchen is willing to come forward, it will be better than His Majesty.Your Majesty will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but Lai Junchen can raise the butcher knife without mercy.

It was a visit with predictable results.

Lai Junchen just said softly, "The son-in-law should understand that Laimou is His Majesty's knife. If anyone can use this knife, how can His Majesty use it well? Laimou is different from the son-in-law. He can only rely on himself in everything, and dare not have the slightest bit. My own will, please don't embarrass me, my son-in-law."

This is being stepped on by him again, these words are for Emperor Wu, the unknown fire in Shen Sanwen's heart is very hot, every time he comes to find Junchen, it ends like this.

However, Lai Junchen's attitude also made him understand that Emperor Wu's entrusting this matter to him was only his own business, and he had to handle it himself. Did Emperor Wu want to convince Di Renjie himself?According to Di Renjie's point of view, Wuhuang Deng was basically a mistake. If you really want Di Renjie to give up, unless you can come up with a reason to impress him.

Di Renjie's attitude also represents the faction that supports Li Tang in the current court.They are afraid that new forces will get involved and break the peace of the court, they are afraid of losing power in the change of power, and they also hope to preserve the reputation of loyalty to the emperor.

Such people seem to have many pursuits and beliefs, but in the end they are all for themselves. As long as they benefit, they are the easiest to use.

At this time, the imperial court was no longer dominated by a few great families and meritorious nobles. Students from poor families had already occupied three levels. During the three imperial examinations and five or six years, the children from poor families selected by Emperor Wu occupied many positions of real power. Even if he is not a member of the court, he is still an important part of the government.The important thing is that they are truly loyal to the Emperor Wu, support the power that the Emperor Wu cannot be underestimated, and they will be the most likely to accept the re-entry of the Empress in the future.The complicated relationship between the meritorious nobles and the royal family of Li and Tang determined that they could not look down on the Wu family who suddenly rose like a nouveau riche, and there were also serious differences within the family. I have been in business for many years, and I am not willing to let it go.

Meritorious nobles hold military power in their hands, and aristocratic families hold wealth in their hands.Although Emperor Wu has been rectifying these years, the strength of nobles and aristocratic families is not as good as before, but the background of at least three generations and as many as one thousand years can still have enough influence. If Emperor Wu wants to sit on the world, he must make good use of these people, so he must Regardless of their attitude.The nobles naturally hope to choose someone who can be related to them as the emperor, and the aristocratic family will still support a king who is easy to manipulate.So in the previous generation, many people supported Li Zhi, and this generation of nobles and aristocratic families once again made different choices, but there was no Princess Taiping among the options.

Shen Sanwen also thought of the list compiled by the princess. He should start with the nobles. After all, most of them still supported Li Tang and waited for His Majesty to pass on the throne. They didn't have the intention to challenge the imperial power and seek benefits like the aristocratic family.

This day was busy, Shen Sanwen visited many places, learned the true thoughts of some courtiers, and then thought and analyzed a lot about the list.The body is not considered tired, but the mind becomes a little tired after thinking too much.Think about it again, is the princess usually like this?It is so difficult for a powerful princess to be an emperor, it should be even more difficult for an emperor.

The moon rose quietly, the princess had already fallen asleep, Shen Sanwen lay down beside her, stared at the beautiful woman beside her for a while, and when her forehead was pressed against her, the princess woke up.

Shen San asked: "Did you not sleep?"

Princess: "I fell asleep at first, what did the son-in-law gain today, seems to be very tired?"

Shen San asked: "It's just that I'm a little sleepy, so don't think about it, and take a good rest."

Princess: "Okay, I can't accompany you these few days. If you feel uncomfortable, there is a maid you like in the mansion, so you can take her to serve her."

Shen Sanwen knew in his heart that the jealousy of the princess and the Emperor Wu was alike, so he said so, but he definitely didn't want him to take a maid to sleep with him, "No, I don't want to touch other people, and I won't do anything to make you sad." matter. Don’t mention this again in the future, and don’t test me again.”

Princess: "How does the son-in-law know that this is a temptation?"

Shen San asked: "Love is always exclusive. If you really love someone, you can't be touched by others, let alone allow him to have skin relationship with others. The princess loves me, so naturally she doesn't want to see me with others. "

Princess: "You won't hold back, will you?"

Shen San asked: "I'm not a hungry ghost yet. Okay, let's go to bed early, it's getting late."

Princess: "Yes."

Since she became pregnant, the princess went to bed earlier in order to raise her baby, and spent up to three hours a day to check some important news.Although Shen Sanwen was a bit busy, it was not too late to go back to the mansion every day. He felt that there were always things that he could not finish. For many small matters, there will be a piece of information presented.There are a lot of daily news after being sorted out by several assistants, and there are also past news, which are lost in the ocean of information every day.Second, it is extremely difficult for nobles in the ruling and opposition parties to make good friends. They call each other face-to-face brothers, but it is difficult to make friends with each other. Neither side wants to offend. This attitude makes Shen Sanwen a little uncertain.

Every night I was busy until very late before I could get away and go back to my lover to rest.

Every day when she opened her eyes, the princess could always see Shen Sanwen lying beside her, feeling very at ease.

Before participating in the morning court every day, Shen Sanwen could only feel some hidden confrontations, but now that he came again, he had a deeper understanding of every sentence.For example, the flood of the Yellow River is most likely due to the lack of supervision by local officials, or the corruption of ink by the imperial court, or it may be to cover up the annexation of cultivated land and the loss of population.Depending on the magistrates, the sects clearly stated whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and then according to the Emperor Wu's attention, depending on the situation, how many people were dragged into the water, or whether it was a major event and a mastermind was released.After listening to boring content before, Shen Sanwen has learned a lot today.

It's a pity that the Martial Emperor can always see the opportunities most of the time, which makes these people's expectations greatly discounted.They were afraid of the emperor's talent, but they were unwilling to retreat in the face of difficulties. The court became a game field of conflicts between the emperor and the officials, and the interests of the officials and the people.

Seeing through all this, Shen Sanwen had some confidence in persuading Di Renjie. Fortunately, Emperor Wu did not set a deadline for completion. Counting it, there are still nearly ten years left, so don't panic, take your time.
