Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Su couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard Wu's name. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not surprising.  It¡¯s gold that will shine eventually, sooner or later.  The Wu family has been dormant for several years, and it's time to shine.  Li Su originally knew that this was a woman who was unwilling to be inferior to others. Her ambition was greater than anyone else's. Moreover, after several years of tempering, her abilities gradually became worthy of her ambition.  The question now is, where does her ambition go?  What does she want to do?  What do you want to achieve?  How much power do you need to be satisfied?  In what way does she legitimately have power forever?  Unknowingly, the woman Wu has gradually become a mystery in Li Su's heart.  Seeing Li Suhan smiling and saying nothing, Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed, so he added: "Actually, I handle most of the state affairs. Miss Wu just helps me organize the memorials. Occasionally, when there are difficult things to solve, she provides me with some immature advice."  She did not participate too much in the suggestions" Li Su smiled and said: "Your Highness can do whatever he wants. Just stick to your heart in everything. There is no need to explain anything to me. No matter what your Highness wants to do, I will always be behind you.  I support you." Li Zhi showed a moved expression and said deeply: "Brother Zizheng is a true gentleman, and he is a true gentleman." Li Su said: "Now that His Highness is the prince of the East Palace, the emperor's skills have his own eldest grandson and Chu Suiliang.  Let me tell you, I can't help you with my half-hearted ink. Tomorrow I will go to the province to participate in political affairs and help His Highness to worry a little. However, His Highness is so knowledgeable that he may run home to sleep in the sun at some time. Don't do it.  You are counting on me too much" Li Zhi laughed and said: "Brother Zizheng is really upright, but I have just become the prince, so brother Zizheng should work hard and help me for a while. When I stabilize the situation in the court, you love  You can do whatever you want, but I will never stop you." Li Su nodded and said, "His Royal Highness is now a prince and can properly cultivate his wings. Since His Majesty has delegated power to you, he must have tacitly allowed you to recruit staff to share your worries.  Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Pei Xingjian, whom I recommended to Your Highness before the expedition, can shoulder a lot of burdens for Your Highness. Let¡¯s promote them appropriately. Also, during this Eastern Expedition, I discovered a talented person named Xue Rengui who was the most courageous among the three armies.  Now he is studying the art of war with my uncle. Your Highness, if you remember this name, he will be the commander of an army in the near future." Li Zhi nodded and remembered his words every word.  Li Su pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty always fulfills his filial piety in front of his knees and talks to him more. His Majesty has had dozens of princes and princesses in his life, but he is the loneliest father in the world. This father may do  It's a failure, but he is his father after all." Li Zhi's eyes turned red and he nodded silently.  After hesitating for a moment, Li Su continued: "As for Miss Wu, if His Highness wants to accept him as a concubine, you still have to wait. After all, she was once a talented person next to your father. If you do it too hastily, you will inevitably be  The courtiers and people criticized it. Now is the critical period for His Highness to consolidate his position in the East Palace. You must not make any mistakes. Let your personal affairs with your children be put aside for the time being." Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, Brother Zizheng misunderstood me. I oops.  , Miss Wu is indeed a talented person to help me handle state affairs, but I will never accept her as my concubine. After getting along with her for a long time, I gradually realized that you were very accurate in judging people at the beginning. This woman is too ambitious. If you accept her as a sidekick,  Concubine, I'm afraid that the harem will be in chaos and there will be no peace. Not only is she very ambitious, but I also found that she is very violent. How can I put it, it's like she has to bear the hatred of the country and the family alone. I can't bear to look at her.  I can feel the murderous aura she inadvertently showed" Li Su laughed and said, "Don't sound so fantastical. I still say what I said. Just stick to your heart in everything. You are the future co-owner of the world. You don't have to worry about some things.  You can do whatever you want. As for Miss Wu, accepting or not accepting her is an internal matter of His Highness's palace. I will not interfere with it." Li Zhi nodded, and then suddenly laughed: "I encountered something interesting yesterday.  After returning from the Eastern Expedition, do you still remember the envoy from Japan to Tang?" Li Su's eyes flashed: "Of course I remember." Li Zhi smiled and said, "There was a monk named Dao Zhao among the envoys to Tang.  Lively, he came to my East Palace yesterday after being introduced by the officials of Honglu Temple. Then he knelt down and cried, saying that the Tang Dynasty was not friendly to him, that County Duke Li disliked him, and that he couldn't learn anything even if he wanted to.  The Tang Dynasty sent envoys to set up defenses. Brother Zizheng, didn't you see that Dao Zhao was crying and crying? He was looking for a pillar while crying. It seemed that he wanted to hit the pillar and die in front of me to show his will. As for me, I looked left and right.  I thought his appearance was a bit fake, so I didn¡¯t stop him, just to see if he could hit the pillars" Li Su also laughed: "What happened next?" "There are so many pillars in my hall, I don¡¯t know.  It wasn¡¯t that the monk was blind, but he just didn¡¯t see it. He pretended to cry for a long time and felt bored, so he gave up.He smiled and shook his head: "This guy being a monk is really a humiliation. He is more suitable to be a prime minister." Li Zhi laughed and said, "These words are scolding Uncle Changsun." Li Su hurriedly said: "I never meant this.  , I just remembered Lin Xiangru, a famous prime minister during the Warring States Period. At that time, he was standing in the palace of the King of Qin, holding the Heshi Bi and trying to hit it with a pillar. The result was that he was also pretending. This monk Daozhao was different from him.  Yes, Lin Xiangru was upright and was not afraid of violence against the Qin Dynasty, so he was famous throughout the ages. However, the same behavior of Dao Zhao seemed extremely vulgar and ridiculous." The two laughed for a while, and Li Zhi stopped laughing and sighed: "That Japanese monk yesterday.  After wallowing around here for a long time, I slowly came up with some questions. He wants our Zhenla rice seeds?" Li Su nodded: "He went to my house the day before yesterday with the same intention, but I refused.  Li Yifu from the Department of Agriculture also refused. "How about we just give him the rice seeds? It would be inappropriate to let him continue to make trouble like this." "Your Highness, I don't think we can give him the rice seeds."  "Why?" Li Su said calmly: "When you come to the Tang Dynasty from a small country, you don't know how to humbly study the Buddhist scriptures and the scriptures of sages. Instead, you look around with open eyes and take advantage of the Tang Dynasty. When you see something good, you want to hug it.  I think that I cannot tolerate their temper, and it is not the turn of the hozens on these islands to ask for anything in our territory of the Tang Dynasty. Emperors of all dynasties treated envoys to the Sui and Tang Dynasties as if they were honored guests. However, if Your Highness reads the historical records, you will know that these  After the hozens came to our Central Plains, their hands and feet were not clean. When they saw something good, they wanted to learn it. If they couldn't learn it, they stole it. Whatever they liked, they would get it by any means. What's more, they would take the stolen things back to their Japanese country.  , make a slight change, and claim it as their own. The shamelessness of other countries is still hateful. I think it is time to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will use the guise of "I am weak and I am justified" to kidnap us morally.  Tang, if things go on like this, they will become more and more arrogant." Li Zhi hesitated: "But this monk Daozhao is particularly active, and the government and the public are already talking about it. If he makes more trouble, it will eventually damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty  " Li Su sighed and said: "Your Highness, everything is too much and too little is not enough. The host and the guest must both have a good sense of proportion. When you come to the host's house as a guest, you must have the consciousness that the guest will do as the host does. If you don't have this consciousness, you can take whatever you like from the host's house.  , this is not called a guest, but a thief. If the host pretends to be generous and does not care, it will not only damage his own reputation, but also leave a cowardly image to others. In the future, the envoys of this country will come to take something.  The envoys from the country also came to get something. Since there is a precedent, the master will become more and more unable to care. If this continues, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty will be truly lost. " Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I will comply.  As you said, the rice seeds are not given to them. If the monk is still making trouble, thenthat's it. I don't care. I'll leave it all to you. This kind of nonsense sounds annoying." Li Su said with a smile: "I will.  It's done well, Your Highness, don't worry." Li Zhi thought for a moment and then said, "However, when Brother Zizheng meets that monk in the future, we should be a little more polite to him. We don't have to give him anything, but we still treat him with courtesy.  You have to do it, otherwise the monk will cry all over Chang'an and spread the word. It is your face, brother Zizheng, that will be damaged.  "Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "I try to be polite to that hozen"  Walking out of the East Palace Hall, Li Su felt a little heavy. From the conversation with Li Zhi just now, Li Su probably understood one thing.  , Li Shimin's days were getting shorter and shorter, and he had almost reached the stage where he had to leave his post to his uncle, especially since he no longer trusted the imperial doctors. In order to prolong his life, he summoned alchemists to the palace to refine elixirs, which made his condition even worse.  My life may have entered a countdown. A glorious and magnificent era is about to pass. What will it be like in the next era? Walking down the stone steps outside the hall, Li Su looked up and saw something.  The pretty figure stood quietly in front, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her body slightly bowed, still looking cautious, "Miss Wu, it's been a long time."  " Mrs. Wu looks a little plumper than before. She is wearing a light green palace dress, her hair is pulled into a high bun, with a clover in the middle of her forehead, and her lips are lightly rouged. Her complexion is more beautiful than before. "  Very good, there was a sense of pride in her brows. Since she was given important employment by Li Zhi, she was obviously excited about her ambitions being rewarded. Seeing Li Su greeting her, Wu hurriedly bowed and saluted.  Li Su smiled and said: "Now that you are an official of the East Palace, you can no longer call yourself a slave in front of me."??Go out and make people laugh.  " Mrs. Wu pursed her lips and said, "This slave is from the county government. This is an unchangeable fact. There is nothing wrong with calling myself a slave in front of the master.  " Li Su smiled and did not dwell on this issue. "I heard from His Royal Highness that Miss Wu helped him a lot in state affairs. I would like to congratulate Miss Wu for showing her ambition in life.  " Mrs. Wu lowered her eyelids and said softly: "This slave is just helping His Highness sort out the memorials, and has not been of any help.  " Li Su smiled and said: "Miss Wu is being humble. His Highness the Crown Prince is young and inevitably lacks experience. With Miss Wu here to give you some advice, you will make fewer mistakes. We agreed at the beginning that you and I will be relied upon by His Highness the Crown Prince.  People who are dedicated should try their best to assist His Highness. This is a good story for you and me.  " Mrs. Wu suddenly raised her head and looked at him and said, "Just now, my father-in-law and your highness were talking, and my servant heard it outside the palace.  " Li Su was stunned for a moment, then a little embarrassed. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he didn't say anything bad about her when chatting with Li Zhi just now, so he felt confident and said with a straight face: "The habit of eavesdropping is not good, change it quickly.  " Mrs. Wu curled her lips, but still confessed, and then said: "The prince told His Highness that he hoped that he would take the slave as a concubine?  Does the father-in-law really think so?  " Li Su said with a half-smile: "We are all understanding people, so there is no need to test it. Haven't you thought so?  " Mrs. Wu's expression froze, she simply let go of her reserve and said, "I have indeed thought about it this way.  " Li Su nodded: "With your ambition, I am afraid that the concubine is not your ultimate goal. Your goal is the crown prince's concubine. Therefore, becoming His Highness's concubine is your first step. Next, you must  It¡¯s a fight with the Crown Prince and the Concubine, right?  " Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly: "My lord thinks too much of my slaves and overestimates my abilities. The crown prince and his concubine are virtuous and virtuous. Behind her are the Wang family of Taiyuan and even the entire Shandong gentry as their backers. How can a slave be so virtuous?  , can you bring down the princess?  " "So, your goal is just to be the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince?  " Mrs. Wu shook her head: "I don't want to be a concubine. I just want to have a legitimate identity to help His Highness. In the past six months, I have helped His Highness handle the memorials. I found that there are many stupid people in the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty and the local officials.  What I saw was actually not as good as this woman, slave. Seeing this, slave was really anxious.  Li Suhan smiled and said: "Is it possible that you want to be the prime minister of the three provinces?"  " Mrs. Wu sighed softly: "I only regret that I am a daughter and cannot enter the court. If the world allows women to enter the court and serve as ministers, I will think that I am not inferior to men and do no worse than anyone else. But now, I have to hide in the palace.  Behind His Royal Highness's back, the servant secretly helps him handle state affairs, which makes the servant feel extremely aggrieved and embarrassed.  " Li Su thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is no fairness in the world, and I can't change this reality. Therefore, Miss Wu should be careful when helping His Highness handle the memorial. Don't let outsiders know, otherwise it will spread to the ears of His Majesty and the courtiers. Wu  The girl's life is in danger. After all, women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is a taboo for monarchs and ministers.  " Mrs. Wu sighed: "I know this, so every time His Highness reviews memorials, I can only wait on you as a palace maid to hide from others, but I am really unwilling to do so.  Li Su smiled and said, "How can things in this world not be as everyone wishes?"  Everyone has things they are unwilling to do when they live in the world, but most of these unwilling things can only be endured, unless one day they become strong enough to change the rules. Miss Wu, you are still young, and  A lot of time is left for you to grow stronger. By that time, you may be able to solve the things you are unwilling to do now with your own hands.  " Mrs. Wu looked at him doubtfully: "My father-in-law doesn't seem to be disgusted with women doing politics?  Youtacitly allow your servants to help His Highness handle state affairs?  " "What you and His Highness are doing in the East Palace has nothing to do with me. This is a palace matter, and foreign ministers should not participate. As for your involvement in politics, I do not support or oppose it. I would rather be a bystander in this world and hide away.  You are watching the turmoil in the world with nothing to do with yourself, but Miss Wu, at least you have not done anything to harm the world so far, so why should I interfere?  " Mrs. Wu lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "What if one day, this slave does something extraordinary?  What will my father-in-law do to me?  " Li Su smiled and said: "Of course I will get rid of you. Otherwise, would I treat you to a big dinner?  ¡± She smiled as she spoke, but Wu suddenly felt shuddering and shivered unconsciously. She looked up at Li Su and found that his smile was still so kind and kind, as if the words just now were just a start.  It was just a joke. Wu Shi was in a cold sweat. She was not stupid. She knew what was a joke and what was the truth. Wu Shi was biting her lower lip.Authentic: "As the Lord just said, if one day the slave has become stronger, the Lord may not be able to get rid of the slave, right?" Li Su still smiled brightly, and even winked at her mischievously: "  You can give it a try and guess whether I can get rid of you." The Wu family is like falling into an ice cellar.  The long-lost feeling of powerlessness once again invaded my heart.  No matter when she faced Li Su, she always felt powerless. No matter whether her status was humble or prestigious, no matter how well she disguised herself, she could be seen through at a glance in front of him, and then he could easily hold her in the palm of his hand.  Mrs. Wu tried her best to smile, trying to get rid of the strong feeling of powerlessness in her heart.  "My slave is just joking, please don't take it seriously." Li Su also smiled: "I'm joking too. I've never done anything like destroying flowers, so don't take it seriously." The two looked at each other deeply.  , and then each saluted and said goodbye.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­ Walking out of the East Palace, Li Su¡¯s mind was spinning rapidly. Li Shimin is dying. A new era is coming, and new troubles are coming.  The new dynasty has not yet been established, and Li Su has been unknowingly drawn into the center of the whirlpool. In the future, Changsun Wuji and other veterans will become a powerful force in the court, and the Wu family in Li Zhi's harem may not be too peaceful.  How to protect himself or defeat the enemy in this chaotic situation is what Li Su is currently thinking about.  There is another biggest trouble, which is the force under Wang Zhi. It has become a knife hanging high on Li Su's neck. Once Li Shimin dies, this knife will fall mercilessly.  Silently, Li Shimin seemed to have posed a problem for him. He was telling Li Su in a silent way that he must hand over all this power to the court without breaking the window paper, otherwise Li Su would inevitably die.  It's a dead end.  After leaving the palace gate of the East Palace, Fang Laowu and other tribes came forward to greet them.  Li Su paused and said: "Fifth Uncle, send a few alert and discerning people from our family to follow the Japanese monk Daozhao day and night, write down his every move every day, and tell me when he comes back.  ." Fang Laowu should be.  Then Fang Laowu said with an expression of embarrassment: "My lord, it's no problem for the brothers to kill people with swords, but they are afraid that they are not good enough at tracking this kind of work. They have never done it before. If they do it, they will be killed."  "I hope you won't blame me." Li Su smiled and said, "It's okay if I smash it. How can I blame my brother for a Japanese hozen? It doesn't matter if I don't do it well."  Then he felt relieved and grinned.
