People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1167 The Emperor’s Grandson, Li Chongzhao

In front of the East Palace Gate, the sound of horse hooves came quickly.

When she arrived at the door, Li Xuan had already dismounted.

Behind him, Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, Lu Zhaolin and others also followed quickly.

The guards inside and outside the East Palace have already changed.

All of them are forbidden soldiers in the palace.

Li Xuan stretched out her waist card and walked straight into the palace this time.

In the courtyard of the inner palace, the emperor and Empress Wu stood in the palace, and other officials in the palace stood solemnly.

Li Xian accompanied the emperor and Empress Wu, looking towards the palace, with worries flashing in his eyes.

In the hall, miserable roars kept coming.

Crown Princess Webster is giving birth.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Li Xian immediately turned around. When he saw Li Xuan, he couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed Li Xuan's arm, and asked nervously: "Uncle Wang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Li Xuan patted Li Xian's arm, then looked at the emperor and Empress Wu who turned their heads, cupped his hands and said: "I, Wang Xuan of Nanchang, see your majesty and see the queen."

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded lightly, looked at the palace, and said with a sigh of relief: "In this kind of situation, the presence of Twenty-seventh Lang can always make people feel more at ease."

Li Xuan quickly cupped her hands and said: "I have examined the pulse of the Crown Princess. Although the emperor's grandson is precious, it is still suitable. Safe delivery will not be a problem."

"That's good." Li Zhi suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Empress Wu turned around and rolled her eyes at Li Zhi.

She understood best that what could make the emperor so happy was simply because Li Xuan said the word "emperor and grandson".

It's a boy!

This was not the first time that Li Zhi had a grandson, but the emperor's eldest grandson Li Guangshun lost his royal status when Li Xian was deposed, and the emperor's second grandson Li Guangren, the prince of Linzi County, was sent to Luoyang to be raised by Pei, the filial emperor's princess. .

Neither of these two people could be met by Li Zhi whenever he wanted.

But now, Wei Shi will give birth to another baby boy, which means that Li Zhi's throne will be inherited again after Li Xian.

Can the emperor be unhappy?

Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and asked casually: "What is the King of Nanchang busy with?"

"It's about the Huimin Hospital in the west of the city. The site selection and planning has already begun. I plan to build it this winter." Li Xuan handed over his hand and said: "This winter's war in Northern Xinjiang, it is inevitable that there will be wounded soldiers coming from the front line. By then , just in time to free up the place for the use of injured soldiers."

"There are still refugees." Li Zhi turned sideways, looked at Li Xuan, and said: "After the war, it is inevitable that there will be poor people living in Chang'an, and you should also pay attention to them."

"I accept the decree." Li Xuan earnestly handed over his hand.

Li Zhi's eyes fell from Li Xuan to Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, Lu Zhaolin and others behind him. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "It is a matter of course to cultivate books in the East Palace. You won't just open your mouth and just practice this medical skill, right?" "

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and then she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still studying and is not suitable for direct participation. Therefore, I have discussed with Xueshi Yang, Xuesi Song, Mr. Lu, and Xueshi Du, and it is more appropriate now. It is better to compile a copy of "Qie Yun" and let the prince supervise the work."

"'Qie Yun'?" Li Zhi was a little surprised, nodded slowly, and said, "I have never thought of this, but it is indeed more appropriate."

"Qie Yun" is a rhyme book written by Lu Fayan in the early Sui Dynasty.

Rhyme book, phonetic book, Chinese pronunciation book.

The whole book "Qie Yun" is divided into one hundred and ninety-three rhymes; the rhymes are divided into four parts according to the four tones: Ping, Shang, Qu and Ru.

A compromise between the northern and southern phonology systems and the final Mandarin.

The current rhythm of the Tang Dynasty still inherits the "Qie Yun" of the former Sui Dynasty.

But in any case, eighty years have passed and the time sequence has changed. The Tang Dynasty should also have its own rhyme book.

Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Xue Yuanchao and said: "If I remember correctly, the Lu family invited eight famous scholars at that time: Duke Xue, Liu Zhen, Yan Zhitui, Lu Sidao, Li Ruo, Xiao Gai, Xin Deyuan and Wei Yanyuan. Gathering at home to comment on current affairs and discuss phonology?"

“Yes!”

The Duke Xue here is the famous Sui Dynasty scholar Xue Daoheng.

Xue Daoheng was respected by Gao Ying, Yang Su and others, but only offended Yang Guang.

At the same time, Xue Daoheng also has a close friend.

Fang Yanqian, the governor of Sili, was the father of Fang Xuanling.

Now that Donggong is renovating "Qie Yun", among other things, with Xue Yuanchao's participation, no one can say anything wrong.

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Since you have thought about what to do, then do it well. Datang also needs its own "Qie Yun"."

"I obey the order." All the officials in the courtyard cupped their hands at the same time and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was with great difficulty that they came up with the idea of ​​editing "Qie Yun".

"Book of Han" should not be touched lightly, especially if Li Xian's current literary skills are not enough. Forcibly participating in it will only make people laugh.

The matter of "Qie Yun" does not have so many political risks, and Xue Yuanchao is involved, so it is relatively more appropriate.

And it's very symbolic.

This means that from now on, Donggong will gradually have the right to speak out for everyone.

Through this method, the influence of the East Palace can be quickly passed on to the lower levels.

At the same time, it can also train the literary skills of the officials in the East Palace and leave a name for future generations. No one is unhappy.

This is indeed a good thing.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Li Xuan, because he was the one who proposed this matter.

Li Zhi turned around and looked at the inner hall. At this time, the shouts in the inner hall seemed to be much quieter.

"Do it well, Sanlang, let me see your ability." Li Zhi did not look at Li Xian, and Li Xian held his hands in solemnity: "Here!"

……

"Wow..." and the clear cry of a baby sounded throughout the East Palace.

In an instant, everyone in the East Palace breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor stood up and stared at the palace.

Although Li Xuan said it was a boy, the emperor still wanted to see it with his own eyes. Because this child is of great use to the current situation in Datang.

Especially when northern Xinjiang is at war with the Turks, this news can be extremely exciting.

Not only that, because Li Xian was deposed, some of the remaining turmoil will be completely subsided.

Under the emperor's gaze, several female envoys walked out of the inner hall quickly at the same time, one of them had a baby in her arms.

The swaddled baby cried loudly and powerfully.

The female envoy rushed to the emperor with an excited expression, knelt down, and said happily: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the queen, and congratulations to the prince, he is a grandson of the emperor."

"Okay, okay!" Li Zhi couldn't hide his excitement, looking at the wrinkly and crying baby in the swaddling clothes, he couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the baby stopped crying to everyone's surprise.

Looking at Li Zhi with dark eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Zhi, and even laughed.

"Hahaha!" Li Zhi laughed even louder.

Li Xuan looked on and was very surprised. Li Xian, Yao Lingzhang and others on the side all looked at this scene in surprise.

And such a spiritual baby.

When the emperor's voice calmed down, Empress Wu pulled Li Zhi's arm and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take him back. It's cold outside... There will be a reward from the inner government later."

Empress Wu said the last words to several female envoys.

"Thank you, Queen." Several female envoys bowed at the same time, turned around and sent the baby back.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Li Zhi slowly withdrew his lingering gaze.

Empress Wu asked in a low voice from the side: "Your Majesty, should you name me now or give it to me after the full moon comes?"

"Oh!" Li Zhi came back to his senses, smiled, and then said: "Now, my grandson is honored and prosperous. Talents are bestowed by heaven, and he is bestowed with honor and glory."

Li Chongzhao, the emperor's grandson and the crown prince's eldest son, was named Chongzhao.

"Thank you, father." Li Xian knelt down directly, looking excited.

"Okay, get up." Empress Wu pulled Li Xian, and then looked at the emperor with some surprise: "Your Majesty, can you ennoble me?"

At this time, Li Zhi suddenly shook his head and said, "Let me think about it again."

Turning his head, Li Zhi looked at Li Xian unexpectedly and said, "Go in and see your wife and children. I will go back first."

"Here!" Li Xian seriously handed over his hand. He didn't understand what was going on now.

His son was born, and he should be made a county king at the end.

Why is there nothing?

Seeing Li Zhi start to turn around, Li Xuan, who was a little surprised, and Xue Yuanchao and others handed over their hands at the same time: "I will send you off to your majesty."

Li Zhi turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, his eyes glanced at Li Xuan, his footsteps paused, and the emperor said: "King Nanchang, today is the birthday of your grandson, please read a poem."

"Here!" Li Xuan raised his hands in surprise. Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, Lu Zhaolin and others all looked at Li Xuan curiously.

Li Xuan just pondered and then said:

"On behalf of the emperor, he was benevolent and frugal, and his descendants were sages.

Who said there were no two days, but today it is exactly three days.

It's a cold evening in Jiaguan, and the divine light is like daylight.

The star in front of me can't understand the old man for eight thousand years. "

……

Li Xuan handed over his hand, Li Zhi thought about it, and whispered: "Who said there was no two days, but today it is three days. It's well written."

After saying this, the emperor strode away, and Empress Wu quickly followed, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty." Li Xuan and others bowed again.

It wasn't until he watched the emperor leave that Li Xian then leaned over Li Xuan and asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean, we've only met for three days now?"

"There are no two days in the world, and there can only be one ruler in the world. Just three days, your majesty, the prince, and the emperor's grandson." Xue Yuanchao came over, took a deep look at Li Xuan, then looked at the crowd and said, "The King of Nanchang knows your majesty's thoughts well." ah!"

When Xue Yuanchao said this, everyone present reacted, but then they became confused.

Although Li Xuan's poem happens to include the emperor, prince and grandson, it is normal.

Besides, there is the more disgusting Sage Tang Sun in front of him. Isn’t this even more excessive?

"Maybe he thought of something else. Everyone, please go back." Li Xuan first raised her hands to Xue Yuanchao, then looked at everyone and waved her hands, and finally took Li Xian to the side: "Your Highness, we were earlier Have you ever told anyone else what you said?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Xian didn't react for a while.

"Emperor's grandson!" After Li Xuan said these two words, Li Xian's eyes immediately widened and he said in disbelief: "Uncle Wang, you mean, mean?"

"Don't be too impatient, wait and see, something must have happened that we don't know about." Li Xuan quickly calmed down, then looked at Li Xian, cupped his hands and said, "Anyway, congratulations to Your Highness on what happened today. "

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Li Xian returned the salute to Li Xuan, then looked at Wei Hongmin who was not far away, and waved: "Wei Qing, greet all the ministers and treat you to a sumptuous meal."

"Here!" Wei Hongmin held his hands in awe.

The crown prince's eldest son was born, and all the officials celebrated, but first of all, the officials in the East Palace.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xian said these words, the officials in the courtyard immediately reacted, and they all raised their hands and said: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Lin'er, Yu He Tang Sun, Ke Mian Yong Fu."

"Thank you all!" Li Xian waved with a smile, then turned and entered the hall.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi, Cheng Wuzhong and others, all looking at him eagerly.

Only Xue Yuanchao laughed twice, then turned and left.

Li Xuan turned around with a wry smile, looked at everyone with her hands raised, and said, "Everyone, I really can't say, this matter can only wait."

"wait?"

"Ok!"
