Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 86
At this time, Emperor Shunzong Li Song could barely sit up and listen to the government, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't do government affairs himself at all.Whenever a hundred officials enter the palace to play something, a long curtain will be set up in the inner hall, and the eunuch in the curtain will pass on the will and decide whether it is acceptable or not.Baiguan looked from outside the veil, and could faintly see two people accompanying Emperor Shunzong Li Song, one was Li Zhongyan, a trusted eunuch of Shunzong Li Song, and the other was Zhu Zhaorong, Shunzong's favorite concubine.Outside, Wang Shuwen presided over the draft edict, and Wang Ni was in charge of cashiering the emperor's orders.If Wang Shuwen had a memorial, he would entrust Wang Yu to report to Li Zhongyan, and Li Zhongyan told Zhu Zhaorong, and Zhu Zhaorong took the place of Shunzong Li Song.Shunzong Li Song obeyed all four of them.

From then on, the power of Hanyuan was almost entirely in the hands of the two kings. A group of villains praised them all day long, not calling Yi and Zhou reappearance, or Guan and Ge Chongsheng. All officials came to them with gold and silk. Bribes.The second king's family is like a market, day and night, and those with a little less gold and silk are often not seen.There are also those who come from thousands of miles away to seek profit and fortune, and they are not allowed to see them for a while, and most of them live nearby.In Chang'an City, every bakery shop and wine shop were filled with guests who came to see the second king's errand.So the store introduced a new rule that one thousand Wen was required for travel expenses every night before they were allowed to stay overnight.Wang Niao especially loves money as much as his life. All the gold and silk are stored in a large cabinet. Wang Niao and his wife sleep in the cabinet together every night to prevent theft.

5. The prince supervises the country

Shunzong Li Song has been ill for a long time, and the crown prince has not yet been established. If something unexpected happens and internal changes suddenly occur, the ministers in the court and the central government are very worried, and they have asked the emperor to appoint the crown prince early.The eunuchs Ju Wenzhen and Liu Guangqi took advantage of the absence of the two kings to play Li Song of Emperor Shunzong in secret. It is advisable to establish the prince quickly, otherwise there will be endless troubles.Emperor Shunzong Li Song ordered the two of them to send an edict to call Zheng Yu, a Hanlin scholar, into the palace.

Because Wanzai couldn't speak, he just pointed behind his back with his hand.Zheng Yi knew it, so he wrote the four characters "Establishment and growth" and presented it to the imperial court.Shunzong Li Song looked at it, nodded and smiled, expressing his wish.So Zheng Yu drafted the edict before the imperial case, making Li Chun, the king of Guangling, the crown prince.Shunzong Li Song had 27 sons. King Guangling was born to Wang Liangdi and was the eldest son of Shunzong.Shunzong was also afraid that Li Chun would be crowned prince, and the princes would not accept it, so he appointed all the other princes as kings, and the imperial edicts were all drafted by Zheng Yu alone. Even Zhu Zhaorong didn't have time to know, and the imperial decree was passed down the next day. Everyone in the palace was surprised.

Crown Prince Li Chun was ordered to move into the East Palace. He usually served his father and received ministers. He was very filial.Emperor Shunzong Li Song's illness continued unabated, and he could not sit in the palace for a long time.The courtiers came forward one after another, urging the prince Li Chun to supervise the country, and the eunuch Ju Wenzhen also played day and night in front of Emperor Shunzong.Shunzong looked at his own spirit, but he really couldn't support it, so he ordered Prince Li Chun to supervise the country immediately at the request of his ministers.

The crown prince Li Chun came out of the Eastern Dynasty, and all the officials rushed forward to congratulate him. However, the pure and filial prince, when he thought that his father could not see the court due to illness, he hurriedly walked around and avoided the seat, and at the same time could not help but shed tears. The sleeves of his robe wiped away his tears, but his secret behavior made his subordinates see it clearly, so they all praised him.However, Wang Shuwen outside the palace and Zhu Zhaorong inside the palace suddenly lost their power, and Zhu Zhaorong no longer had the tenderness and affection of serving the emperor in the past.

Prince Li Chun's biological mother, Wang, accompanied Emperor Shunzong to serve him all day long. Because Shunzong ignored the government, his body and mind were at ease, and his illness was slightly relieved. The most amazing thing was that Shunzong was able to speak, although the frequency Very slow and muffled voice.

6. Jin Qi Bao Bo Favor

In order to make his father Li Song have something for entertainment, Prince Li Chun ordered the Quartet to contribute rare things.So Jumi paid tribute to the fire sparrows, a male and a female, as well as various precious items such as water beads, Changjian ice, and day-changing grass.

However, the fire sparrow's fur is pure black, and it is about the size of a swallow, but its song is very crisp, which is not like the song of an ordinary bird.If you catch this bird and throw it into the fire, the flame will be extinguished immediately.Emperor Shunzong Li Song loved it very much, and hung it in his bedroom with a crystal cage. Every night, the court ladies burned it with a wax torch, but they couldn't burn a single bit of its feathers.

The bead is black, it looks like iron at first glance, it is as big as a chicken egg, there are water ripples on it, and there is a eye in the middle. You can walk in the waves without being wet by the water, and the most important thing is that you will not fall into the water." Emperor Shunzong didn't believe it at first, so he ordered the servant in the palace who was good at swimming to hold the bead in his palm and jump into the pool of Taiye. Sure enough, the servant could walk back and forth on the water, just like flat ground.It can also drill into the center of the pool, and it takes a long time to surface, but the clothes and hats are dry and there is no water stain.This summer, the weather was extremely hot. Because she was young and active, a very beautiful court lady secretly took a water pearl and dived into the liquid pool to take a bath. Go, this court lady was also swept up into the sky by a tornado, and she can't be traced.The weak Shunzong heard the eunuch tell this interesting story vividly, and couldn't help admiring it as a miracle.And this clever little eunuch who can tell stories was rewarded behind the back of Prince Li Chun. It is worthwhile for a small reward to win the favor of a sick father.

The Changjian Ice Field is a very unusual piece of ice, produced on the Daning Mountain in the Kumi Country. The ice in the mountain has not melted for thousands of years. It is sent from the Kumi Country to the capital. It is clean and cold as before; it does not melt even under the scorching sun.

The leaves of the day-changing grass are like plantains, three feet long, and each branch has thousands of leaves. When the tree is in the house, or within a hundred steps in the courtyard, the surroundings are suddenly as dark as night, and people are invisible in the opposite direction.When Shunzong Li Song saw it, he was very unhappy and said: "This thing with a back to the light is not valuable in China!" Then he ordered people to burn it in court.The envoy of the Jumi Kingdom was very ashamed, and after retreating from the court, he said to Honglu Qing: "In our country, the change of daylight is a strange landscape, and today the emperor regards darkness as a wrong, a true king of virtue!"

7. Little strange woman
In addition, Lingnan presents a strange woman surnamed Lu, who has amazing skills at the age of 14. At the same time, her singing voice is graceful and sweet, and her appearance is delicate and beautiful, so touching, because her eyebrows are slender and green. , hence the name Meiniang.

Mei Niang presented an embroidery book to Shunzong Li Song. Although it was a foot of white silk, it embroidered seven volumes of the "Lotus Sutra". Chapters and sentences, nothing is missing.Mei Niang offered another thing, named Feixian Gai, which was dyed with a strand of silk into five colors, forming a five-fold canopy in the palm, with ten continents, three islands and celestial jade girls in it. There are also thousands of children holding festivals.The Feixian cover is opened for a full foot, but it weighs nothing but three or two.Applying the spirit balm to the Feixian Gai will make the Feixian Gai hard and continuous.

Shunzong admired her very much, because Mei Niang only ate flax rice three or four times a day, and did not touch any other meat, so Shunzong called her a goddess, and from then on, everyone in the palace also called Meiniang a goddess.Shunzong asked her to come closer to the imperial bed, and took a closer look at her skin. It was clear, soft, delicate, white and tender, so cute that Shunzong sighed: "Good girl!" In the palace of the benevolent prince Li Chun, and the prince Li Chun deeply felt his father's kindness, and knew that his father would be reluctant to part with this treasure, so he didn't act rashly.So Mei Niang was able to preserve her innocence without offending Shang Yi.

Shunzong, who had always been sick and weak, had another stroke in August of the same year when he ascended the throne. The powerful eunuch Ju Wenzhen and others colluded with the forces of the feudal town to force him to abdicate on the grounds that he was sick and weak, and his voice was difficult to speak. Taishanghuang, changed to Yuan Yongzhen, and granted amnesty by the imperial court.Five days later, Prince Li Chun ascended the throne of Taiji Hall, called Xianzong, enshrined Taishanghuang Li Song in Xingqing Palace, respected his biological mother Wang as Taishang Queen, and changed the year name to Yuanhe the next year.

When Emperor Xianzong Li Chunchu came to the throne, he tried his best to cheer up the court, and demoted the king to Sima of Kaizhou, and Wang Shuwen to the governor of Yuzhou.He also issued an edict saying that my treasures are only virtuous talents, and all the female prostitutes, rare birds and gods are all things for people and ministers to flatter the king. From today onwards, they will not be offered.Sure enough, the ministers were afraid, the world was governed, and the short-term peaceful reunification and prosperity appeared in the Tang Dynasty again.
