    The relationship with the Wu family has always been that of enemies and friends, and only the two of them know the subtleties of it.  .??????? Wu will never understand why Li Su wanted to save her in the first place, but it does not affect an originally ambitious person from using all his means to climb up.  Li Su's original intention to save her was not only out of pity, but also to see how the fate of this person who was supposed to be shining would be different after the arrival of someone who shouldn't be there.  Whether it was a matter of cherishing talents for the country or a boring game, in short, Li Su rescued her and watched her climb up with a tacit attitude. Of course, the premise of everything was that Li Su would be available at any time.  Be sure to step on this woman.  For Li Su, the person she can control is not afraid of her turning the world upside down.  The important thing is that the Wu family in history was a legendary figure. Her scheming skills were as good as those of men. Li Su had many things to do in the future, which he could not do alone. He needed Wu's ability.  Politically speaking, he needed to form an alliance with the Wu family to jointly fight against the hostility from the clan, or the hostility from the veterans headed by Changsun Wuji.  Taiji Palace, Anren Palace.  After Li Shimin¡¯s death, Li Zhi was afraid of touching the scene and hurting his feelings, so the Manna Hall that Li Shimin used to live in during his lifetime was closed, and Li Zhi¡¯s daily life was changed to the Anren Hall next to the Manna Hall.  In the hall, Li Zhi and Li Su stood arm-in-arm. Li Zhi kept looking at him up and down and asked with concern: "How is Brother Zizheng feeling? You were so burned a few days ago that you made me so anxious that I couldn't wait to see you.  The entire Imperial Medical Office moved to your home. I thought there might be some evil spirit, so I invited a Taoist priest to your home to do the dojo" Li Su smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am grateful. I am in good health.  "It's okay" "Well, also, I have told your Majesty a long time ago that your Majesty's identity is different now. You should call yourself 'I', and you can no longer call me 'brother'. This is the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.  I hope that your majesty will not let me bear the crime of disrespect. " Li Zhi sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll just do it to you. It's just that I've been with you for a long time and I'm not used to changing my words. I I'll change my words slowly in the future." " Li Su raised his eyes and looked at it.  Looking at him, Li Zhi now looks a little haggard. The recent national funeral ceremony has obviously made him physically and mentally exhausted. Even though Li Zhi is young, he can't bear it.  At this time, there was still a lingering sadness on his face, which was much lighter than during the national mourning.  Time is the best medicine to erase all pain. The pain of losing his father in Li Zhi's heart has gradually subsided.  "Brother Zizheng Well, no brother, Zizheng, I have ascended the throne now, and I want to discuss many things with you. Yesterday, uncle Changsun came to the palace to admonish, saying that he would give favors to the courtiers. This is the rule of all dynasties, I  I had to do it. I have thought about it for a long time. My eldest grandson's uncle has been promoted to the Duke of the country and is in the prime minister's position. He is really at the top of the ministers. There is nothing more to do, so I plan to give him the rank of Taiwei, the third rank under the same sect of Zhongshu. Chu Suiliang was promoted to Shangshu Province.  Your right servant, She, has been given the title of Duke of Henan, and you, Zheng Zheng, are also one of the ministers appointed by the late emperor. I want to give you the title of Duke, but my uncle, the eldest grandson, refuses to agree, saying that Chu Suiliang was promoted.  My son is young and junior. If I pretend to be a Duke, I will be criticized by the world's scholars, which will cause the monarch and his ministers to alienate" Li Zhi said with a distressed look on his face: "I have been arguing with my eldest grandson uncle for a long time, and we almost broke up on bad terms.  The eldest grandson¡¯s uncle only promised to confer a title on brother Zizheng to the rank of Duke. In the end, I had a very unpleasant quarrel with him, and my uncle walked away" Li Su listened quietly and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do anything because of the honor or disgrace of one person.  The emperor is separated from his uncle. Your Majesty is well aware of the nature of his ministers and has never cared about his official title. It makes no difference to him whether he is a prince or a prince. Why should your majesty displease you and his ministers because of this trivial matter?  Mr. Grandson, I really won¡¯t mind.¡± Li Zhi said angrily: ¡°You are the one who has made the greatest contribution to me being able to ascend the throne. You were the only one who stood with me without hesitation when I was at my weakest.  You have made suggestions for me and saved me from danger many times. Without you, the person sitting here now is my imperial brother Li Tai, and I might have been imprisoned or exiled" With a red eye, Li Zhi said: "If I didn't  Since you are the Duke of the country, how can I face you in the future? I can't obey my uncle about this matter." Li Su said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive, and you can't cause discord between your Majesty and your Majesty because of this matter, especially as the eldest grandson is still your Majesty's son.  Uncle" Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi suddenly waved his hand and said resolutely: "Zizheng, don't say it anymore. I used to be weak and tolerant, but it's different now. Since I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I should have the majesty of the emperor.  After all, ministers are just ministers. The emperor decides to do something. Ministers can only give advice, but they cannot interfere. This is the duty of ministers. Zizheng, this is no longer a dispute between Jin and nobility, but a battle between king and minister.  At the beginning of the new dynasty, I cannot be patient on the first thing, and cannot let my ministers develop the bad habit of interfering with the emperor's life. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Su stared at Li Zhi. At this moment, Li Zhi seemed a little strange.  He is more mature than ever, and he is more assertive. He has only been on the throne for a few days, and he already has some appearance of an emperor.  These changes are also the result of growth. The father you relied on passed away. What else can you do besides forcing yourself to grow up?  Li Zhi suddenly waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else. Zizheng came to the palace today to see me for something?" Li Su had no choice but to skip the topic cooperatively and said: "I do have something to ask of your Majesty.  "Li Zhi opened his eyes in surprise: "It's really strange that you have something to ask of me" Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "You are the emperor and the boss, so naturally you need His Majesty's permission for this matter."  He said with great interest: "Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Su said slowly: "I have been in love with Princess Dongyang for many years, and the good and bad grudges of the past have passed with the wind. The biggest regret in my life is that I have implicated Dongyang.  Years have not been able to give her a proper title, so I have a ruthless request, please remove the title of Princess of Dongyang, and after her filial piety is over, I will marry her in a dignified manner. " Li Zhi looked on silently.  Looking at him, Li Su looked directly into Li Zhi's eyes without fear.  After a long time, Li Zhi said: "Did Sister Dongyang agree with what you said?" "Yes." "Zizheng, you and I are brothers and sisters, but you should understand that no matter how deep our friendship is, I can't let you go."  The princess and your wife serve the same husband together. This has never been done by the Tian family in the past dynasties. If I are right, the government and the public will be shocked and uproar, and you will definitely be targeted by thousands of people. Therefore, she wants Dongyang to marry you.  The title of princess must be removed, and I can¡¯t help with this" Li Su said calmly: "I understand, so I just said, please remove the title of Princess Dongyang." Li Zhi smiled:  "In order to marry you, the imperial sister even gave up the title of princess. Really, love is stronger than gold, which makes me envious" Li Su said sadly: "It was me who had troubled her back then, and it was also me who delayed her like this.  After many years, I must give her an explanation and take on this responsibility." Li Zhi sighed: "Actually, you have done a good job in these years, really good.  I have seen it all, and I promised back then that I would help you one day, and now I will fulfill my promise back then." Li Zhi took a deep look at Li Su, turned around, walked to the desk, and took out a volume.  I picked up the yellow silk and held up the pen for a while. After drying the ink stains, I read it carefully and finally stamped it with the jade seal solemnly.  "This is the decree to remove the name of Princess Dongyang. This is an internal matter of the Tian family, so there is no need to go through three provinces. You can directly hand it over to Li Daozong, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and he will handle the relevant matters of removing the name. Dongyang has been a monk for many years, and the name of Princess has been removed.  The resistance is not too great, and she still has to observe mourning for three years. After three years, the discussion between the government and the public will probably have stopped. By then, you will be able to marry her, and you will be able to do it. " Li Su accepted the imperial edict and hurriedly bowed.  thank.  Li Zhi said deeply: "Although I and Princess Dongyang are not from the same mother, I have always admired her as a person. I still wear the clothes she made for me back then. Please tell her that even though she is not named princess,  But I will always treat her as my biological sister, and I will keep my word." "Although her name is removed, I will give her the farm, land, real estate, Taoist temple and other properties in her name. In addition, I will also give her good farmland by the Jingshui River.  Thousands of acres, two villas, several tributes from various countries, and thousands of pieces of silk and fine porcelain. These can be regarded as the dowry I gave her" Li Zhi sighed: "Zizheng, from now on, the emperor's sister will be your concubine in the Li family hall.  You must treat her well. You and she have had a hard time over the years, but now you have achieved good results. I hope you will cherish her. " "It is not easy for me to respect and love each other in this life." The two looked at each other and nodded.  After talking about the business, Li Su was about to resign when Li Zhi suddenly stopped him, looking very shy.  Li Su felt strange and asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?" Li Zhi blushed, laughed a few times to cover up, and said: "That's all, I won't mention it today, we will talk about it later, haha." Li Su became even more strange, you are like this  What's going on with the expression of someone who has been slept with by a train station solicitor?  There was a bit of excitement in the humiliation, and it was so mean The next day, the decree to deprive Princess Dongyang of her title finally spread out of the palace, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it.  The government and the public were in an uproar. After being surprised, those who knew the inside story suddenly smiled in understanding.  Everyone knows why the title of Princess Dongyang was cut off. While secretly admiring Li Su's kindness and righteousness, they also admire Li Su's timing to resolve the matter. It happened to be just when Li Shimin passed away and the old and new courts were changing. In the future, Dongyang  Marrying into the Li family was at least three years after the filial piety period. At that time, the government and the publicThings have calmed down, and Dongyang is no longer a princess in the eyes of the world, but an ordinary Taoist nun. At that time, Li Su married Dongyang into the house, and the government and the public could hardly make any trouble.  Of course, many courtiers, such as Chu Suiliang, saw Li Su's intentions and complained one after another out of anger.  The princess is part of the Tian family and represents the supreme imperial power. She cannot be expelled without guilt, let alone marry a prince lightly, especially the kind of scumbag who already has a royal wife in his family Many people were advised by Shangshu.  , but Li Zhi stayed in the middle without giving any attitude.  After a few days, everyone saw what Li Zhi was thinking.  Regardless of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, or the half-hidden romance between Li Su and Dongyang over the years, Dongyang's removal from the title of princess this time has become a matter of course, and more people are even waiting for this.  The result, from another perspective, is a story that will last forever. Why would others do the evil thing of burning harps and boiling cranes?  After the courtiers discussed it for a few days, they gradually died down, and Chu Suiliang and other veterans also stopped talking, which was regarded as acquiescence to the fulfillment of Li Su and Dongyang.  Taiping Village, inside Dongyang Taoist Temple.  After hearing the imperial edict, Dongyang was stunned for a long time, and then he knelt down in front of the statue of Laojun with a calm expression and recited the Heart Sutra for a whole day. In the middle of the night, when no one was around, Dongyang's relieved and mournful cry came from the main hall of the Taoist temple, sounding like a delicate oriole.  When I first cry, I feel inexplicably sad when I hear it, as if I have spent half my life crying.  On the second day, the Taoist temple closed its doors to thank guests, and Dongyang observed mourning for his father for three years.  The discussion in Chang'an City gradually subsided. On the third day, there was a grand meeting in Taiji Palace, and all the courtiers of the fourth rank and above in Chang'an City arrived.  Early in the morning, there was a huge crowd in front of the palace gate. More than a thousand people wearing formal court uniforms and Liang Guan were waiting quietly outside the palace gate.  Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others stood at the front. What was strange was that the faces of the two veterans were a little ugly.  Li Su came to the palace gate and wanted to go forward to greet Changsun Wuji and others. Seeing that Changsun Wuji looked unhappy as if he had just lost money, Li Su stopped in his tracks, turned around and blended into the circle of military commanders.  Cheng Yaojin was bragging about his achievements in front of all the veterans, and he was spitting. When he saw Li Su coming over, he immediately stopped talking and brought Li Su over to stand at attention.  "The little boy is indeed not a mortal. A serious illness almost destroyed the city of Chang'an. Now that he has just recovered from the serious illness, he will soon become rich. I burned you an extra burner of incense and it was considered a right thing to do, haha.  "Cheng Yaojin laughed proudly.  Li Su was shaken by Cheng Yaojin in his hand. He was confused and asked: "Why did Uncle Cheng say this? I don't understand" Cheng Yaojin laughed strangely, and all the generals beside him also laughed.  laughed.  Li Ji couldn't see it, so he kicked Cheng Yaojin, then pulled Li Su aside and whispered: "Today's court meeting will see your Majesty's favors for all ministers. I heard that because of the favors given to you, your Majesty and your eldest grandson will not be together."  Ji, Chu Suiliang, and the others made quite an unpleasant fuss. Yesterday, I saw Changsun Wuji and others coming out of the palace angrily. I don¡¯t know the reason, but I guess that Your Majesty is determined to give you a generous gift. " Li Su's eyes flashed, and then he sighed.  "Why is it so? I have never asked a high-ranking official to show my nobility. I just want to live a peaceful life in this life." Li Ji shook his head: "It's bad, it's bad. No one can say for sure now. Your Majesty insists on showing favors, and it's not good for you either."  Refuse, but from now on, Changsun Wuji is afraid that he will hate you" Li Su was silent for a moment and said: "Hate as much as you want, uncle. From now on, my main focus will be on civil affairs and people's livelihood, and on the DPRK.  I have no interest in fighting in the hall. Of course, if he takes the initiative to provoke me, I won't be polite." Li Ji looked at him in surprise and said with a smile, "It's rare to see Zizheng's domineering side.  Later, I noticed that your whole person has changed a bit. "Uncle, do you think this is bad?" Li Su said with a smile.  Li Ji shook his head: "You look the best now. I have long disliked your soft temper in the past. You are only in your twenties, and it is time for you to show your talents. As long as you pay attention to your sense of proportion, no one will dare to bully you in this life.  , look at old man Cheng. He has been domineering and domineering with an ugly and unreasonable face all these years. He seems to be reckless but is actually as careful as a hair. He often makes small mistakes but does not lose his justice. The more mistakes he makes, the more your majesty favors him. He runs rampant in Chang'an and so on.  Nian, do you think any one who is short-sighted dares to offend him? You used to act like you were walking on thin ice, but you could easily get into trouble. Anyone who sees you like that would not be able to help but bully you" Li Su rubbed his face and said with a bitter smile:  "Was I so weak before? It seems that I really need to be tougher. Otherwise, many of the things I want to do in the future will not be implemented." Li Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, today, I will have a meeting with you.  If His Majesty offers you a favor, don't refuse it. Just accept it. Personal honor and disgrace are not important, but you will be a person who will do great things in the future. The higher your title and official position, the easier it will be to do things. This principle requires you to do it.??Understood.  " After a pause, Li Ji suddenly sneered: "Although the Changsun family is a prominent family and the leader of the heroes, our Li family is not weak either. Zizheng, please remember that today is different from the past. Now that the new king is here, you and the  Your Majesty's friendship is here. As long as you don't make mistakes, no one in the world can overthrow you. Even if Changsun Wuji wants to attack you, with the combined efforts of our two families, it may not be that easy to get rid of you. He is a powerful person, and we  The Li family is also a powerful family!  " "Yes, my nephew has remembered it.  ¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The bells of the Bell and Drum Tower rang, and in a slow and orderly rhythm, the heavy palace door slowly opened. The courtiers lined up according to their official titles, and entered the palace one by one under the guidance of the eunuchs and imperial guards. A cumbersome monarch and his ministers  After the ceremony, Li Zhi and the ministers got down to business. Cui Sheren, the internal official, slowly unfolded a roll of yellow silk in front of the ministers and began to read the edict of amnesty to the world.  Except for the ten heinous crimes such as treason and parricide, prisoners in prisons and exiles in various states in the Tang Dynasty were pardoned. Secondly, deceased heroes were granted posthumous titles. The deceased veterans such as Qin Qiong and Wei Zheng were all granted titles or posthumous titles.  This is a favor. Starting from Changsun Wuji, the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were all rewarded. Changsun Wuji went to Sikong, was promoted to Taiwei, and was added to the third rank of Tongzhongshu. Chu Suiliang was promoted to Shangshu Youpushe, and was promoted to Duke of Henan Province, etc.  After all the veterans were rewarded, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Then Cui Sheren cleared his throat and continued: "Here, the Duke of Jingyang, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, General Yunhui, you Sanqi Changshi,  Li Su, the Prime Minister of Youcheng of Shangshu Province, in recognition of his hard work, can be given the title of Duke of the Jin Dynasty, a real estate of 1,500 households, a thousand acres of land, and a hundred bolts of silk.  " After Cui Sheren finished reading, there was silence in the hall. After a long time, there was a bang, and the crowd exploded, and the discussion started. Everyone had different expressions, angry, dissatisfied, in agreement, and it had nothing to do with it.  My own, all living beings are different. From the county prince to the prince, he actually jumped two levels. More importantly, he was awarded the title of "Duke of Jin", and the land of "Jin" was the rebellion of the great ancestor and the emperor.  The land of Sui Dynasty can be said to be the land of dragon prosperity. Li Su was granted the title of Duke of Jin, which shows how profound the divine grace is. Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, and he stood motionless in the courtroom, but his eyes looked at Li Zhi. After a moment.  , a smile actually appeared on his face, and he nodded slowly towards Li Zhi, seeming to agree with Li Zhi's decision. Li Zhi also smiled sweetly, and there were silent discussions between the emperor and his ministers.  , Li Su came out of his duties proudly and saluted Li Zhi, "My lord, Li Su, Duke of Jin, would like to thank your majesty for your kindness.  "
