When Li Congjia saw that his mother was going to give him all the treasures she had accumulated for many years, she was moved from the bottom of her heart and beyond words. Naturally, Empress Zhong could see the sincerity of her beloved son. She originally felt that he had made great progress recently, and now she felt even more moved in her heart. Huanxi, closed the lid of the box and said softly.
"Chongguang, you can do this. My mother is already very happy. Your eldest brother has been the king for many years, and the fiefdom is also a rich place. You don't need to worry about your mother. Your eldest sister is going to get married after all, and her share has been saved. You go How can you bear this barren land? As a mother, of course I will give you more." This was already an obvious preference for the queen, and even her eldest son, Hongji, never enjoyed it.
"My son, thank you, my mother!" Having said this, Li Congjia said no more and knelt down to kowtow to his mother. Of course, it was not for money. It was the love between mother and child that he cherished the most.
"Liuzhu, it's my fault that I was careless. I gave you my title but didn't bow to you. This time I want to help him get married before Chongguang Waifeng, so we can handle your affairs together." Empress Zhong pulled Liuzhu in again. When she came to her side, she took out an exquisite phoenix hairpin from her sleeve and gave it to her personally, which made Liuzhu panic even more. This treatment was extremely generous.
"Marriage? With whom?" Li Congjia was shocked when he heard this and blurted out. His knowledge of Li Yu's woman was limited to Xiao Zhou, but he didn't know the name of his wife, Emperor Zhou E, and he didn't know that this external seal had changed history. Originally, he had to wait until he was eighteen to marry his wife, but now he is two years early. This is actually good, as the so-called ignorant can be fearless.
"I just praised you for a few words and then you revealed your true colors? You can't remember the young lady of Zhou's governor's family?" Empress Zhong only thought he was a joke, so she laughed and scolded her. Who knew that this son really didn't know. Zhou Zongnai, the governor of the country, was a veteran of the founding of the country. He had two daughters in his family. The eldest daughter was named Xian, also named Ehuang. She was quiet, intelligent, elegant, beautiful, and proficient in various arts! The lord Li Jing and the empress Zhong both loved her deeply and had arranged a marriage for Li Congjia long ago. The second daughter's name was Jiamin, also known as Nvying, and she became the famous Xiao Zhou Empress. She only married Li Yu after her elder sister's death. Three years old.
"Haha, how could this child forget? He will naturally follow the mother's arrangements!" Li Congjia was afraid that if he spoke too much, he would make mistakes, so he said hurriedly. When he saw Empress Zhong mentioning Miss Zhou, she looked proud, and she knew in her heart that this woman would definitely not be bad, otherwise as the empress His eyes would never be so appreciative.
"Hmph! Miss Zhou is well-educated, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also a beautiful and fragrant woman. She is one of the best in the world. Are you still not satisfied? You will be an adult in half a month. You are going to get married. What else do you think? You will have given birth to a grandson earlier." Empress Zhong smiled and said that she is no different from ordinary women in terms of carrying on the family line. Li Hongji has nothing to do so far, so she naturally wants to focus on Li Congjia, and her son cannot accompany her. It¡¯s also nice to have grandchildren around you.
"Queen, there is something I don't know" Liuzhu was thoughtful after hearing this. After a while, he had the courage to speak out, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.
"Zhuer, you should also follow Chongguang's title. From now on, there is no need to mention the word slave again. If you have anything to say, just say so." Empress Zhong has always liked Liuzhu.
With a red face, Liuzhu approached her mother and whispered something, it was Li Congjia who made up the words of a god! Queen Zhong's expression changed when she heard this, and she turned to Li Congjia and said:
"Son, is this true?" At this time, people believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, and the queen was no exception.
"It's true. I haven't shaken the red peony and the Phoenix recently, and I don't dare to talk to Liuzhu It's for this reason." At this point, Li Congjia could only round out the lie, and he wouldn't be blamed. Liuzhuduoduo, the little girl's move was obviously out of concern for him.
"Well that's okay. Let's salute first. Anyway, it only lasts half a year. Emperor E will have her own mother to talk about. But Chongguang, this matter is not trivial. You have to clean yourself up for me, Liuzhu, if you come to Jianghuai, you will be better Keep an eye on him!" Empress Zhong said cautiously. In fact, she was quite proud of herself. Those who are blessed by gods must be special people! Thinking about the recent behavior of this romantic son, she became more and more convinced that it was indeed true.
"Don't worry, mother!" The two said in unison at this time, but their moods were different. Liuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Congjia understood more deeply that misfortune comes from the mouth.
"There is still half a month left for your birthday gift. After that, I think I will have more than a month to come. My mother will take care of this for you right away." Empress Zhong counted the days, but she had plenty of time. This marriage had been decided long ago. If it were done earlier, the emperor wouldn't have any objections.
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother, but I also have a few things to ask of Mother." Li Congjia said with a smile.
"Go ahead, but you don't need to mention the other women. With Ehuang Liuzhu and a few more concubines, it's enough now!" Empress Zhong's attitude was very firm.
"Who does the queen think of her son? A man with ambitions everywhere, how can he be addicted to women? Is my sonJianghuai is not as good as Jinling, so it must bring more guards. This child can trust Zhao Long the most. I want him to choose thirty or forty people to accompany him. This way, the child will feel at ease. I also ask the queen mother for permission! "His father will definitely give him a group of guards when he is granted the title, but what he wants is a close confidant. As long as the queen mother agrees, there will definitely be no problem with the father, so he begged softly.
"What you are saying is that I feel at ease with Zhao Long's work. Let him choose the manpower. If thirty or forty people are enough, we can make up a hundred people!" After hearing this, Empress Zhong naturally agreed. Of course she was concerned about the safety of her youngest son. She was very important, so Li Congjia would make proper arrangements even if she was not mentioned. Now that she was talking about Zhao Long, it would be even safer for him to make the arrangements.
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother. I will ask Zhao Long to choose tomorrow. I will meet you again later!" Li Congjia was determined. This matter has been settled. As for Liu Yanqing and Zhao Long, he doesn't need to say anything. Father and Emperor have decided Let them go with you.
"Liu Renfan, the envoy of the Qinghuai Festival, Mr. Liu, is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He has been stationed in Jianghuai for a long time and has always been on good terms with your uncle. He will definitely take care of you when you go, and I will ask your uncle to make arrangements for you when you arrive in Jianghuai." , the rest of the things can be learned, but this matter of the army must be arranged by Mr. Liu and cannot be acted upon!" Empress Zhong also explained that this was what she had planned for a long time. When her son gets there, the emperor will send someone to assist him. , the political affairs are okay, but the military is no longer a child's play.
"My son, I have written it down. Mr. Liu has been in Huainan for a long time and has a deep understanding of Tao strategy. He must ask for more advice! My mother, and Mr. Xu Xuan. My son and I heard a lot of praises about Jianghuai, but for some reason, he was not praised by his father. The emperor is pleased and hopes that the queen mother will allow him to go with the child so that he can become familiar with the affairs of the Jianghuai River." Seeing that the queen mother was very interested, Li Congjia also boldly said that Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan were the only two famous officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty that he knew. However, Xiao Yan is now the confidant of the eldest brother, and Xu Xuan cannot let go. He is very familiar with the Jianghuai land and has a great reputation among the people, so he can help him.
"My son has indeed made great progress. This Xu Xuan is quite talented and an able political minister. It's just his upright character that makes him unpopular with your father. I'll wait until I find an opportunity to mention this matter to your father again. I'd like to deal with it." It can be done!" Xu Xuan made great achievements in stabilizing people's livelihood in Jianghuai, but was later impeached by Wei Guogong's faction. This man was too strong-willed and unsociable, so he had no power to resist! Although Empress Zhong was a woman, her vision was higher than that of her husband, and she also appreciated her son's proposal.
"I thanked my mother for her kindness. I will go to Jianghuai and never forget my teachings!" Li Congjia was even more happy when he heard this. After all, he would finally have a historical celebrity under his command!
The mother and son ate and chatted side by side. Empress Zhong also explained many things to her son, including the power of the Zhong family in Jianghuai. Li Congjia naturally said so one by one. It was not until late at night that the empress allowed him to return to the hospital. These few days He will cultivate his moral character in the inner courtyard every day, and immediately after his birthday, he will make arrangements for the two major life events of becoming a king and getting married.
