Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 120 Returning to Beijing
Di Renjie and Li Xian had some analysis and advice, and Li Xian agreed, but he didn't know how much he understood.

Seeing that the two of them talked more and more vigorously, Shen Sanwen was very annoyed at Di Renjie's unprincipled tolerance.This trip seemed to be for nothing, and Di Renjie was just using himself as a cover so that he could visit the King of Luling.If he came alone, His Majesty the Emperor Wu would have some doubts. It seems that Lou Shide's promise is just a calculation.

In the following time, Shen Sanwen and Di Renjie changed their previous preaching status, and Di Renjie lived like a year.Let him keep himself away from the capital for so many days, and he will not listen to him until he has finished speaking.

Shen Sanwen kept talking about how tyrannical Shang Zhou was, how fatuous King Youzhou was, how ignorant Qin II was, how pitiful Han Xiandi was, how many incompetent and unscrupulous kings there were in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and how miserable the people were.Di Renjie knew what Shen Sanwen said, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, but he still couldn't let go of the traditional cognition of his son's inheritance, and tampered with the inheritance system. Didn't this make the people fight for wealth and brothers turn against each other?As a human being who reads the books of sages and sages, he should restrain himself and not encourage these unhealthy tendencies.

After talking about this, Shen Sanwen began to tell the story of the abolishment and establishment of virtuous men in various dynasties. By the way, he disrespected his ancestors and discussed that Emperor Gaozong was not established as emperor, which led to the blood staining of Xuanwu Gate. In the end, the hidden prince built a family. A story that never leaves a chicken or a dog.Di Renjie couldn't laugh or cry at his fallacies and heresies. It is orthodox to establish a descendant. If you are a virtuous person, you should assist your elder brother instead of violently seizing power.Emperor Gaozong, a well-known emperor through the ages, had the aspirations of the people, and he was not tolerated by the hidden prince, so the change of Xuanwumen was helpless.

Shen Sanwen gradually became desperate. It was possible to change his mind for someone who had no idea or made up his mind, but the possibility of trying to change Di Renjie's mind was zero.Di Renjie's ideas are deeply ingrained, and Li Xian should inherit the throne. Even if Li Xian lacks talent, he has a group of loyal ministers to assist him, so that the world will not suffer too much disaster.Even if Li Xian is really not suitable to be a prince, Wudan should come. A princess is not qualified to inherit the country.

After some historical discussions, Shen Sanwen was still defeated.

As the saying goes, loud people are right.It doesn't make sense, but you can spell your voice.

Shen Sanwen couldn't bear it and yelled at Di Renjie, "Your Majesty has no people in the world, only you, Lord Di. Your Majesty doesn't understand his son, but you do. The King of Luling will have loyal ministers to assist, but the princess can't. You are such a stubborn old man." , You must let the Li family fight each other and see the royal blood flow into rivers before you give up."

Di Renjie maintained a slight smile on his face, which made Shen Sanwen feel frustrated as if his fist was hitting the cotton.

Di Renjie: "Don't worry, son-in-law, let me just listen to the old man. I won't argue with you about the unreasonableness of female inheritance, and I believe that the Shen family will not have the intention to seize power. I just talk about the princess's ability, and what else is there?" The impact on the prince himself.

In the 400 years of this world, there has only been one female emperor, Your Majesty, and after that, it will be rare.The old man and His Majesty are from the same hometown, and he learned about His Majesty's deeds when he was young. Later, when he was in trouble, he was rescued by His Majesty. The old man thanked His Majesty, and His Majesty also trusted him.things over the years."

Shen Sanwen interrupted him impatiently, "If you want to talk about Lion Cong, the training of His Majesty's harem for 12 years, the difficulty of abolishing the king and setting up a queen, and the achievements of assisting the late emperor, then there is no need. I know all of these."

Di Renjie: "Okay, then the old man will talk about your majesty's personality and some things your son-in-law doesn't know. In order to learn good calligraphy and please Emperor Taizong, your majesty practiced from early morning to dusk every day; In history, read the scriptures of various schools, and strive to be comprehensive; in order to give birth to the prince smoothly, he endured humiliation in the harem, humbly, and satisfied the palaces; later became a queen, and the harem is like a fortified wall, and it also depends on your Majesty's hard work, kindness and majesty. The first emperor was weak, your majesty During Dai Dai’s political career, he caused two major disasters. One time, he fell into a treacherous plot by Tubo and caused the two countries to go to war. The second time, he misused treacherous ministers and delayed the relief of [-] people starving to death in the wilderness. The late emperor was furious, and His Majesty was excluded twice from the government. Besides, His Majesty is indeed a sage now, but behind this sage is forged by the blood and sweat of countless people, in exchange for countless attempts and efforts.

But what about the princess?The princess has no political experience at all.Only the former prince Li Hong received the emperor's education. He learned how to deal with political affairs, sympathize with people's livelihood, and distinguish loyalty from traitors. The princess learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women's virtues.The king of Luling was naughty since he was a child, and the king of Yin was fond of calligraphy, neither of them were talents for governing the world.Although the princess is stronger than the two kings, she is far behind His Majesty.Hundreds of officials can trust His Majesty and obey His Majesty as king. First, there is nothing they can do. Li Shi, who grew up in the capital since childhood, has only two princes left. Even if His Majesty is not the Emperor, he is also the Empress Dowager. The two princes are filial. The second is that His Majesty has outstanding talents and the ability to use people. Now the court is full of talents and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is witnessed by hundreds of officials over the past few years. Many people sincerely respect His Majesty.

As for the princess, what is the princess' ability to govern?What can be seen just by persuading farmers to go into business?Even if all the officials can temporarily support the princess for temporary benefits, how many people are sincere?The court is still the court of His Majesty, there is no place for the princess, and you also know that once the crown prince is established, the princess has no chance of winning.If the princess is made the crown prince, many people will still support the two princes, and even the Wu family will not give up. The Wu family holds military power in the suburbs of Beijing, so it should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, His Majesty has already planned to fill the harem with beautiful men, and the princess looks like her mother. If you think about it in the future, what can you do?The princess is so young, she must be able to monopolize the power for many years. You should know that the emperor is high above her. Her thoughts are different from others.Now when the two of you are still in love, but people can change, life is as ordinary as water, if something changes, in the end, it will be nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket. "

Shen Sanwen didn't know how long he had been preparing for this speech, but it did make some sense.In terms of conception, it is the difference between men and women who refuse to support a princess, and worrying about themselves is only because of the emperor's harem system. It is really ridiculous. If the feelings are so fragile, what is the loyalty to the emperor.Having been in this other world for so long, I can't understand this kind of thinking at all.

Shen Sanwen just wanted to make a clear analysis with him now, thinking that Wudan is a more suitable successor than Li Xian.

"Lord Di, the princess's ability to handle political affairs is far superior to the two of them. Even if she can't compare with Your Majesty for a while, she still has many years to improve. It is better for a literate person to finish reading a book than an illiterate person. Hurry up?
Neither of us can convince anyone, so there is no need to say more, and I will return to the capital right away.

But I still hope that Master Di can think clearly about who is more suitable for King Luling or King Yin.Although Wu Dan is absurd, he is still a gentleman who can do something and not do something, can appoint virtuous ministers, and distinguish right from wrong.You have also seen the performance of King Luling today. For six years, he has not been able to figure out who is right. If you support such a person as emperor, you are disloyal to the late emperor. I'm sorry people all over the world. "

After finishing speaking, Shen San Wen left with his entourage without looking back. He delayed long enough and wasted a lot of saliva, but what he got in return was his doubts and slanders about the princess's ability to govern. This trip was really terrible.

Shen Sanwen hurried back to the capital, got rid of the medicine pot and the slow carriage, rode on a tall horse, and shuttled through the lush green woods, kicking up waves of dust.

The night was cold, the group stopped to rest, seeing Yuesiren, Shen San asked a little curious what the princess did today.

Five days later, when he arrived in the capital, Shen Sanwen went back to the residence immediately.

The brief parting is for a better reunion, for people to see themselves clearly and understand their feelings better.

The princess had already ordered people to prepare food and drinks to clean up the dust for him.

I didn't ask about the "result" of this trip, because there was no suspense.

The princess prepared all Shen Sanwen's favorite food, spicy meat, sour eel, green and tender vegetables, and light egg soup.Soon enough to drink and eat, there was a maid who brought mouthwash. Such a meticulous life has never been seen before.

In the past, it was difficult for Shen Sanwen to remember what the friends around him liked and disliked, but since meeting the princess, it seemed to be an instinct, remembering what she liked and hated, knowing what she wanted and what she hated .Love teaches a person to mature, and the most important thing for two people to come together is true understanding.

Shen San asked if he was the only one being followed, "Princess, how many other people do you know about their eating habits?"

Princess: "I know about father's, mother's, and brother's, and I also know about some senior officials in the court, and banquets in the palace. I can understand a little bit about them. What do you want to know?"

Shen San asked: "I only know what I like to eat, and I only remember what the princess likes to eat. You don't need to care about these, right?"

Princess: "I'm used to it."

Shen San asked silently, "Is this what His Majesty requested?"

The princess looked at his solemnity and comforted him, "Mother is for my own good."

Shen San asked: "You three brothers and sisters are filial. Now the King of Luling envies you two for being well-clothed and well-fed, and also regrets what His Majesty has done, but he doesn't have much resentment towards His Majesty, but is a little jealous of you two. The king understands His Majesty's thoughts, even if he is ridiculed by the world, he is willing to abdicate on his own initiative."

Princess: "How is the emperor?"

Shen San asked: "You are unfair to me. You know the conspiracy between Di Renjie and Lou Shide, and you only think about me going, so that Di Renjie can go with you with peace of mind, so that your brother can know that many people have not forgotten He, you miss the emperor, but coaxed me to persuade Di Renjie."

The princess chuckled, "You have to go by yourself, don't blame me."

Shen San asked: "Come on, let's go for a walk to digest food."

Worried about the slippery road and an injury, Shen Sanwen carefully protected her and the baby in her womb while reporting to her about the trip. "Brother Huang is not doing well. The clothes on his body are a bit worn out, and there are a few white hairs on his forehead. I heard that he often has nightmares, sleeps badly, and eats poorly. His Majesty must be dissatisfied that he still wholeheartedly defends Webster."

The princess looked a little sad, "Brother Huang has always disliked the intrigue in the palace, and now it has changed."

Shen San asked: "His current situation may not be a bad thing, at least Wei Shi is no longer the same as before, and he is dedicated to making profits for the Wei family. The two of them are in love with each other. It is very good that they can be together, support each other, and really think about each other. "

Princess: "Being in love with each other is worse than forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes. I hope that the emperor's brother can live a good life, instead of suffering so much like this."

Shen San asked: "One day he will be able to return to Beijing. I am afraid that this period of time will be the most memorable and cherished time for him." At the end, he added, "If there is a day when I am separated from the princess, I would rather not have anything. .”

The princess declared her sovereignty domineeringly, "There will never be a day when I will not be separated from my son-in-law. No one can force me."

Di Renjie's words suddenly surfaced in Shen Sanwen's heart, causing a flash of pain in his heart. Those online stories he had read came to his mind. On the way of chasing power, many people forget their original intentions, leaving only numb struggle. There is no end to desire.

"Does the princess love me? If one day, the power of the emperor and I can only choose one, which one do you choose?"

The princess smiled, "I will probably make the same choice as Brother Huang."

Hahahaha.

Shen Sanwen was elated, "Sure enough, it's a family. Since you understand him, you should know that he is truly happy now, but he doesn't know it. If Li Bao'er can live well, he may not be willing to return to Luoyang .”

The princess: "It's not good for the emperor to suffer. Wei Shi, who is far inferior to the son-in-law, will always put me first." The people around her have always been taking good care of them and being cautious, how could she not know.He was frightened and anxious that time, wasn't it for himself?
Shen Sanwen thought about it, in the princess' heart, family members should still be much more important than herself?In the end, there is no need to ask this kind of question, and there is no need to ask it. It must be divided into front and back, just to make it difficult for the two of them.

It was very easy to tease and play along the way.It's just that the princess got tired very quickly, and the two returned to the study after a while.

Looking at the thick ancient books on both sides, there is an atmosphere of discussing serious matters.

Shen San asked: "Di Renjie doubts your ability, I told him, let him support Wudan, and don't support Luling King."

Each is good, the princess naturally thinks clearly.There are still only a small number of people in the court who support Wudan, and the difficulty of making him a prince is far from that of the King of Luling who is idle and wild.Wu Dan chose Xue Shao to be Li Longji's wife, because he didn't care about Lai Junchen's face, and he had a feud with Xue Huaiyi, so he must have received a lot of criticism in front of his mother.The Wu family was promoted by Emperor Wu in order to consolidate the imperial power. The Wu family in the court regarded him as the culprit who hindered the continuation of the Wu family's century-old foundation. In the hearts of those who are optimistic about Wu Chengsi in the Wu family, he must be the biggest competitor of the Wu family.

　A chapter of [-] words counts as two updates.

　　Dear river gods, did you see the recommendation ticket that I fell into the river?

　　Good night, there should be a surprise tomorrow.
