This is related to Li Chengqian's status in Chang'an.
He already felt that his situation was very embarrassing. Li Chengqian didn't understand the reason for Lao Li's embarrassment and his current indulgence. Now that Wu Zhao said she figured it out, she had to make it clear.
Thinking that this was related to politics, Li Chengqian didn't want Su Mi and Xiao Chen to know. They are not talented in this area, and knowing it will only make them worried.
Li Chengqian actually refused Wu Zhao's offer to go to her room, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
The two entered Wu Zhao's room, and Su Mi and Xiao Chen saw it. But they are not bold enough to restrict Li Chengqian's behavior.
Entering the room, Wu Zhao sat on the bed. It was not suitable for Li Chengqian to sit on the chair again, and he was still his wife, so he had so many concerns. So the two sat on it.
"Your Highness, what I said may be disrespectful. If you say something wrong, please punish me!" Wu Zhao opened his lips lightly and said, "Your Majesty did this to keep His Majesty away from the government."
Then, she whispered: "Your Majesty is worried about you."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a while, then he tapped his fingers against each other for a while and said to Wu Zhao: "There are only two of us here. What you say will not be spread. You just say it."
Wu Zhao sat closer and whispered to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty is concerned about you because His Majesty has achieved such great results this year!"
"I heard everything your Highness did from the mouths of my two sisters and others. The things you did before the Chinese New Year were of great effect but inconspicuous. These achievements have helped you to accumulate a lot of popularity in the government. As your popularity grows, you have become a good prince in everyone's eyes. The ministers did not notice this process, not even His Majesty. When big things happen, this effect will come into play. "
"For example, during the civil unrest in Xuzhou, His Highness proposed a policy of leniency. In the past, no one would have agreed, but at that time, many ministers stood up to support His Highness, and in the end His Majesty also agreed."
"You did two major things this year that made His Majesty pay attention to you. One was the Xuzhou rebellion incident, and the other was the military exercise. These two things made His Highness famous. Both the government and the public commented that His Highness can succeed His Majesty. The good prince!"
Receive everyone¡¯s evaluation. Of course Li Chengqian did a really good job.
But every good thing must have its bad side.
Wu Zhao changed his words at this time and said: "But His Majesty is only 38 years old this year. He is young and in good health. He does not need a successor for the time being. " She paused here, feeling that it was too implicit, so she decided to be more straightforward. Some places are good, "Your Majesty needs a mediocre prince, not a prince with outstanding achievements!"
"According to His Highness's performance in Xuzhou, he won the hearts of the people. He was recognized by the ministers of the DPRK and China at the military exercise. So if this continues, will His Highness do more? Tubo has been harassing our border for a long time. Goguryeo is more He has become a man who must be killed in the Tang Dynasty, and the six marshes in the south can do something about it. The people in Lingnan are not in harmony, and with His Highness¡¯ talent, he will be able to defeat him with strange moves! When the time comes, Your Highness will be able to defeat him with great success!"
"This is not good for His Majesty, and it is also bad for His Highness."
"Your Majesty's achievements were so great that your father gave up the throne. Your Majesty will now be worried that you will do the same to your father, and you will let him give up the throne!" Wu Zhao said here. She shrunk towards him.
Li Chengqian was so lost in thought that he didn't notice it. Wu Zhao had already gotten into his arms.
"What you said makes sense." Li Chengqian patted her back and acknowledged, "I didn't expect that it turned out to be like this!"
He just didn¡¯t expect that he was too glorious, so Lao Li drove him away.
Think about history, Lao Li has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and now it is only the eleventh year of Zhenguan. That is, he has only been half of the emperor. At this time, a very outstanding prince comes out, wouldn't it be too conspicuous? ?
History also explains all this. After the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin let the King of Wei and the Crown Prince fight for power, and the fight lasted for more than ten years. Two years before Li Shimin was about to die, his son Li Zhi was made the crown prince. Think about a child without a mother. Compared with the two people who grew up next to Queen Changsun, the King of Wei and the Crown Prince, his ability to be independent is stronger. And watching two brothers from the same mother fight for more than ten years, how much has he learned in these ten years? Another Li Zhi is young. After a young monarch takes the throne, he can sit in the emperor's seat longer and do more things. Therefore, this historical drama seems absurd but is played out reasonably.
The position Li Chengqian is in now is this embarrassing position, appearing in a position where he should not be. If Li Chengqian had appeared ten years later, maybe it would have been okay. Now, it becomes the part of a bonsai where the branches are too long and thick, destroying the beauty, and need to be cut off.
A small hand fell on Li Chengqian's big hand, and the two held it together.
She seemed to be telling Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be afraid, there is still her!
"Your Majesty is embarrassing His Highness because he wants you to leave the political arena. He forces you to study because you don't like it. He will let you do what you don't like!" Wu Zhao said to some of his enemies, "And this is just A start!"
"As time goes by, he will find out more things you don't like to do and ask you to do them. And if you don't like doing them, it's easy to make mistakes. He will criticize you whenever you make a mistake. This will slowly reduce your previous reputation. But His Majesty did not expect that His Majesty would resort to the trick of pretending to be sick!"
Wu Zhao smiled slightly and said: "You moved to Furong Garden after pretending to be ill and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the court. This destroyed all of His Majesty's original plans. And you just got a good response in the military exercise Comment. If His Majesty still embarrasses you when you are sick, others will criticize you. So now he will not embarrass Your Highness again!"
When he said this, Li Chengqian was stunned. He made a mistake, but he didn't expect to end Lao Li's situation!
"Then what do you think the gang of dandies have to do with the big families now that they are here to play cricket?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.
According to the above, it seems to be nothing. Li Chengqian is as quiet as possible now. It's better to deal with those families less often. Otherwise, it would be bad to be suspected by Lao Li.
"Because His Highness's Agricultural College has played a role!" Wu Zhao smiled softly and looked at Li Chengqian with admiration.
Speaking of the Agricultural College, Li Chengqian thought of the last celebration party for killing pigs. That was the celebration after successfully promoting the seeds. And he also received a reward from Lao Li.
¡°It¡¯s because His Majesty rewarded the Agricultural College and His Highness that a piece of information was revealed!¡± Wu Zhao smiled mysteriously.
