Yutai Bi

Chapter 259 Opponent 1
Like all emperors.The Cui family was abolished, and the power was taken back from the former emperor's courtiers.Gaozong subconsciously began to guard against Empress Wu.

The Wu family didn't feel that he had benefited much by becoming a queen.Originally favored by the Sixth Palace, in addition to the different sitting positions, it was necessary to bow one's knees to Empress Cui to salute on the scene.Now he can sit beside Gaozong grandly and no longer bend his knees to others.

Like Empress Cui, who had the support of the veterans of the family, they were all deposed by the emperor as ordinary people.Empress Wu did not hope that such a situation would happen to herself one day.Abolition and establishment after a country is not a child's play.Gaozong then issued the imperial edict and made her own son the crown prince.Impossible to issue an edict to abolish it immediately.This is the best time for Empress Wu to cultivate her power.

Power is poison laced with honey.It is also a guarantee of safety and security.

Empress Wu recommended Du Yansui.

Gaozong then remembered the past.

I have been a guard under King Teng for so long.Although he trusted Du Yansui, would Du Yansui take refuge in Empress Wu because of his old love?
Eunuch Hu, who has served him for more than ten years, is in contact with King Teng.Will Empress Wu forget her old love?

"Let's discuss this matter again." Gaozong rebuffed lightly.

Empress Wu was very surprised: "If you have a general, you don't need it. Could it be that the emperor still can't trust Cai Guogong?"

Because you want to use him, I don't want to use it.Gaozong couldn't say this, and he let out a sigh of relief on King Teng.

Breaking the dragon's breath, he beat King Teng.Gaozong obviously felt that it was not enough.

Longzhou Tengwang Mansion spent a huge amount of money to build a beautiful palace on Yutai Mountain.Emperor Gaozong ordered that the Ministry of Households no longer allocate money to King Teng this year.Sending twenty carts of hemp to Longzhou, the imperial decree sarcastically said: "I heard that the emperor's uncle has a lot of money and even a string of money is not enough. The imperial court is still using troops against the Western Turks, so I will no longer allocate money to the emperor's uncle. Send some hemp to Uncle Huang to string money with."

The messenger brought back Teng Wang's submissive attitude.Gaozong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

That night Gaozong went to Empress Wu's palace, and was proudly served by Empress Wu all night.

A few days later, there was another report of Yuchi Treasure Tree from the west.The Tang army did not move for a long time, and the Western Turks went through the spring famine and became more and more rampant.There is a tendency to join forces with Tubo faintly.Get more accurate news.Feng Zhong, the commander of the Changlin Army who wanted to avenge Prince Yin in the past, was appreciated by He Lu, and he served as a general in the Western Turkic Tent, teaching the Turkic Army according to the training methods of the Tang Army.Because he was familiar with the deployment method of the Tang army, he led his troops to plunder five or six small towns on the border one after another.

Gaozong was silent.The Changlin Army of the Yin Prince Li Jiancheng was evenly matched with the Tiance Army built by the late Emperor when he was King Qin.The prestige is no less than that of Tiance Army.

Even if the Tang army conquered the Western Turks and was defeated, Gaozong was not worried.Instead, it was Feng Zhong's attempt to rebel and subvert his country's rebellion, which made him restless.

Gaozong knew in his heart that Prince Yin followed Emperor Gaozu to fight in the world, and his military exploits were more outstanding than that of the previous emperor.If it wasn't for the decisiveness of the first emperor, he would ambush his troops at Xuanwu Gate.It was not Jiang Shan's turn to come and sit.

Since Du Yansui was able to set up a trap and use the hidden treasure of Prince Yin to lure Feng Zhong into it.To deal with Feng Zhong, Du Yansui is the best candidate.

Emperor Gaozong passed Du Yansui into the palace.

According to Mrs. Du's calculations, Cen Sanniang has been pregnant for more than three months, which is considered to be a stable pregnancy.

Cen Sanniang was still young, with her belt tied under her armpits, if she wasn't always thinking about the baby in her belly when she was walking, she would hardly notice anything unusual.But every time she touched the protruding part of her stomach, she felt pregnant in an instant.All the worries and fears that I had before disappeared without a trace.turned into expectations for the future.

She is young and looks very good.After vomiting for more than [-] days, there was no abnormality.There were no symptoms of picky eating.It's normal like not having a baby.

Du Yansui purposely went to look for the young and breezy Xiao Xing and brought it back as if offering a treasure.Cen Sanniang threw it away in contempt.

He said to Cen Sanniang without a sense of accomplishment: "Is there anything you want to eat? I don't believe you don't have any special cravings. It will always be the same, right?"

Cen Sanniang was puzzled by his dejected look: "I'm not picky about food, but he doesn't seem to be comfortable."

Mother Yin watched Du Yansui grow up, and quietly said to Cen Sanniang: "Young Master Sun loves you so much. He always wants to do something for you. He doesn't have any errands, and he hangs around you all day long, so don't let him Do something, his mind is empty."

Cen Sanniang woke up in the middle of the night with no taste in her mouth, and suddenly wanted to drink a bowl of hot and spicy soup.

Since she was pregnant, there was always a stove in the kitchen, and Du Yansui personally watched Mama Wu making spicy soup.

When it's ready, bring it in person.As a result, Cen Sanniang was already asleep.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Du Yansui regained his spirits.The next day, a mason was called to convert a side room in the front yard into a small kitchen.Said that the big kitchen was far away, and it was too late to bring food to Guiyanju, and I was afraid that Cen Sanniang would be hungry.

Staring like this, Cen Sanniang still hasn't gained much weight.Du Yansui slapped her stomach every day: "One slap can kill her. Is it too small?"

"Did you talk like that?" Cen Sanniang was furious, "My son will be taller and stronger than you in the future!"

Mrs. Du took pleasure in hearing about Gui Yanju's situation every day, and laughed and told the two people who were arguing endlessly: "It's better to be small, and it's easier when you're born."

Du Yansui was troubled again.Cen Sanniang became more and more able to eat, and her face became plump. Now he was worried that if she ate too much, the child would be strong.

Du Yansui spent the entire month of May in entanglement.

Until one day he suddenly discovered a new situation, took a look at Cen Sanniang's breasts, and exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for three days, and I am impressed! The ancients did not deceive me!"

He was ready to move: "It's almost April, it should be okay, right?"

"No!" Cen Sanniang slapped his hand away, her face full of shame, "My son will know."

It's just a slap the size of a lump of flesh, what a fart!Du Yansui cursed inwardly, and stretched out her hand again: "Through the belly, he doesn't know, does he?"

Cen Sanniang didn't think it was inhumane to make him abstain from sexual intercourse for ten months.She is still ten months pregnant.A man will die if he doesn't touch a woman for ten months?Why can't men bear it when women suffer?

After thinking about it, she didn't push his hand away, and while coaxing the baby in her stomach to obey, she enjoyed Du Yansui's massage.

"From now on, ask the nanny to feed the son, and you feed me." Du Yansui found a breakthrough relying on Wuzhishan and Cen Sanniang's slippery chest, and made a solemn decision.

"I breastfeed my own son." Cen Sanniang doesn't have much knowledge, but it is clear that breast milk increases immunity and can shorten the family relationship with her son.

But Du Yansui didn't let go after being beaten to death: "It's not that I can't afford to hire a nanny. I can hire three, right? It's enough for him to take a bath if he can't finish his drink."

Cen Sanniang blushed and chased him away like a fly: "Go back to the study. I'm going to sleep."

"I'll see you fall asleep before leaving." Du Yansui got up seriously, pulled the quilt to cover her up, and held her hand to watch Cen Sanniang fall asleep.

Cen Sanniang woke up after sleeping until early in the morning, and saw Du Yansui still holding her hand, sleeping soundly against the head of the bed.She raised her head and shook him: "Why did you fall asleep here?"

Du Yansui was awakened by her shaking, so she took off her shoes and came up to hug her: "The emperor called me into the palace, I'm afraid it has something to do with Zhengxi. Sanniang, I don't want to leave. I still want to watch the birth of my son with you .”

That is also impossible.Who told me that the person I married wasn't the emperor and the hero of the separatist regime?
"After this battle, there should be nothing wrong." Cen Sanniang recalled that Mrs. Wu had successfully taken the back seat.I feel a little more at peace in my heart.The Wu family will deal with the Li family in the future and usurp Li Tang Jiangshan.It has nothing to do with the Du family.

Du Yansui asked her softly, "What are you thinking?"

Cen Sanniang said: "I miss King Teng. He made Wu Zhaoyi his queen. What can he get? Or what does he want to get through Empress Wu?"

Du Yansui told her: "I've been thinking about King Teng's plan. He didn't raise the banner of rebellion, but blindly showed weakness to the emperor. But he is not a weak prince. I think he must know Empress Wu too well. That's why he chose to support her." , smashed the old officials who were huddled together. Let the empress Wu and the emperor fight for power. The old officials collapsed, and new people in the court came out in large numbers. King Teng will have a chance."

After hearing this, Cen Sanniang was relieved: "He won't have a chance."

"So sure?" Du Yansui felt strange.

Cen Sanniang hummed and said: "For them, they are not willing to give up after they have tasted the taste of power. The Wu family and King Teng could cooperate before, but now they have become enemies. No one knows King Teng better than Empress Wu. She guards against him. It is more powerful than defending against others. At least the emperor is willing to make the Wu family his queen. The Wu family would rather help the emperor than help King Teng."

"I hope so. I can't see through that woman." Du Yansui said softly.

In early summer, the water of Taiye Pool is as blue as blue.

Gaozong and Du Yansui walked slowly along the corridor to enjoy the scenery.

"Yan Sui, I know your wife is pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use you. Otherwise, Mrs. Tai will break into the palace." Gaozong said half-jokingly.

Du Yansui smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to invite the old Duke Yuchi to go out of the mountain than to use me. He is a veteran, and the people below are also convinced. I am too young, and I only went to Jiangnan to fight the rebellion. where."

"Old Duke Yuchi hasn't been in court for more than ten years. He went to court to speak for you because of the friendship with your grandfather." Gaozong said, the conversation changed, "Why don't you go and persuade the old Duke to take over the position for me?" Coach?"

"The minister leads the decree." Du Yansui was overjoyed.It is best not to go.Being able to inherit the title, the mansion is not short of silver envoys, and it is also a hereditary lord.Why did he still go to the west to earn military merits?
