- Time flies, and five years have passed. In the past five years, the government and the public have been calm and calm. Although Li Wu had secret fights from time to time, they did not affect the opponent's fundamentals. The two sides maintained a dynamic balance, which was also the result that Wu Zetian expected. .
However, Empress Wu Zetian seemed to be a bit late in life. She was completely indulged in her debauchery with Er Zhang. The power of the Zhang brothers became more and more powerful. Wu Zetian created the Konghe Mansion for the Zhang brothers. It was nominally a place for studying knowledge, but in fact But it became the center of the second imperial court. All Wu Zetian's instructions and decrees were issued by Konghe Mansion. As the power of the prime minister was weakened, Konghe Mansion and the Government Hall gradually formed an opposition.
However, Chang'an was very peaceful. Perhaps because he was far away from the court, Zhang Changzong's hatred for Li Zhen gradually faded away, and they forgot about each other. Li Zhen's past five years had been uneventful. Two years ago, he was left behind as deputy deputy. He was promoted to Xijing Liubei, his title was also promoted to Dunhuang County Duke, and Zhang Shuo was promoted to Xijing Liubei Changshi.
However, Li Zhen's family has undergone considerable changes. Five years ago, Di Yan gave birth to a son and a daughter. Wang Qingyu also gave birth to a son three years ago. Li Zhen has become the father of three children. Father.
That evening, Li Zhen returned home from the government office as usual. As soon as he entered the house, his youngest daughter Li Hui ran out like a gust of wind, calling out sweetly: "Daddy!"
Li Hui is only three years old this year, half a year younger than his second son Li Yanzhu. Li Zhen loves this little daughter the most. He knelt down, picked her up, laughed, and pricked her little face with short stubble. After a moment, he asked: "Is the little guy naughty again today?"
"Hui'er is very obedient and not naughty. My brother is very naughty and was spanked by my mother."
"Which brother is naughty?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.
"Both brothers are naughty."
Li Zhen kissed her again and walked into the inner house with her daughter in her arms. Di Yan greeted her with a smile, "My husband is back."
"Well! I'm a little tired after running all day today."
Di Yan took her daughter over and said with a smile: "Husband, go to the study to rest for a while. I will prepare dinner. I will ask Qingyu to pour you a cup of tea later."
Li Zhen returned to his study, sat down, and lay down weakly. Today he went to several military camps to inspect the training of new recruits. He traveled more than a hundred miles and was really exhausted.
After a while, Wang Qingyu came in with a cup of ginseng tea, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My husband seems very tired!"
Li Zhen took the ginseng tea, took a sip and said, "Today I went to Bashang and then to Xianyang. After running for a day, I was so tired that I couldn't even straighten my back."
¡°Sister Yan and I also went to see my eldest sister¡¯s new store this morning. It¡¯s really impressive.¡±
Li Quan's business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only is he the largest wine merchant and Hu Noodle merchant in Chang'an, but he also started to get involved in restaurants last year. He has successively acquired more than a dozen wine shops in Chang'an, Luoyang and Chengdu. He recently built a wine shop next to the gate of West Market. A restaurant covering an area of ??ten acres is four stories high and has more than a dozen small courtyards. It is called Jiuquan Tower and has become one of the three major wine restaurants in Chang'an.
"oh!"
Li Zhen was not interested in the eldest sister's business, so he agreed casually and asked with a smile: "I heard from Huier that her two brothers were spanked. What happened?"
"Hey! The two little guys were so naughty. They played tricks on Butler Lin. While Butler Lin was having lunch, one of them lured Butler Lin away, and the other secretly mixed sand into his rice bowl. Sister Yan happened to see it, and she got very angry and started ruthlessly. Teach them a lesson."
Li Zhen laughed dumbly. Are his two sons so naughty?
"What now?" Li Zhen asked again.
"Sister Yan forced them to write, and each of them wrote 500 words. I guess they are still writing with tears in their eyes!"
Li Zhen originally wanted to beg for mercy for his son, but then he changed his mind and decided that this was fine. If they were not strictly controlled, the two of them would become mosquitoes and flies when they grew up.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a maid reported: "Sir, the eldest lady is in urgent need of help. It seems that someone has come from the capital."
"I know, I'll go right away."
Li Zhen stood up, hugged Wang Qingyu tightly, and kissed her red lips. The two of them joked for a while, and then Li Zhen quickly walked to the outer house.
As soon as he walked into the middle hall, he met Di Yan who was walking in a hurry. Li Zhen saw her face full of anxiety and asked, "What happened?"
Di Yan¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red, she threw herself into Li Zhen¡¯s arms and cried: ¡°Grandma is dying. She wants to see me one last time, so I have to go back immediately.¡±
Li Zhen was shocked. Grandma Di Yan almost died two years ago, but was later rescued. At that time, the imperial doctor said that the old man would have two to three years left at most. Sure enough, he was right. He thought for a moment and said, "I am just right." We have to go back to Luoyang to report on our work, why don¡¯t we go together and go back with the whole family.¡±
Li Zhen is planning to do halfI will return to Luoyang in a month to report on my work. Since my grandmother is not alive anymore, I will simply go back with the whole family.
Di Yan blushed and nodded, "I'm just packing up now. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"No problem!"
Li Zhen thought that he still had some things to explain to Zhang Shuo, so he ignored dinner and hurried out to Zhang Shuo's official residence.

Although five years have passed, Luoyang has basically not changed. Ordinary people are busy making money to support their families, and officials are working hard to get promoted. Every day passes in the same way. Although five years have passed, But everything seems like it happened yesterday.
However, during this period, some subtle changes occurred in the court situation. After Su Weiwei's death, Wu Youning became the prime minister, and at the same time, the post of staying in Xijing was given to Li Zhen. This is a balance, and Wu Youning belongs to the family because of Princess Taiping. Everyone could accept the moderate faction of the Wu family, so in the end Di Renjie and Lou Shide silently accepted the reality of the Wu family being appointed prime minister.
Another reason is that the struggle between the Kung Hok Mansion and the Government Hall is becoming increasingly fierce. If the dispute between Li and Wu is a deep-seated struggle, then the struggle between the Kung Hok Mansion and the Government Hall is on the surface and has become open and fierce.
If Wu Youning joins the Political Affairs Hall, part of the Wu family will invisibly join the Prime Minister's side. This is also the result Di Renjie wants to see. Due to various considerations, Di Renjie did not fiercely oppose Wu Youning's appointment as the Prime Minister, and Su Weiwei himself is an ambiguous person. , has little status in the political hall, and replacing him with the moderate Wu Youning will not have much impact on the balance of power in the political hall.
In the study, Di Renjie was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking very worried. Of course, his mother's worsening condition put a lot of pressure on him, but more importantly, the situation in the court was developing in a direction that was not conducive to him.
He got the news yesterday that the Holy One was already considering making Wu Sansi his heir. If the Holy One was still wise enough in the past, her condition has declined significantly in the past two days. Technological bastards have the power.
And Wu Sansi tried his best to please Zhang Yizhi. Under the influence of Er Zhang's pillow, the emperor actually began to consider making Wu Sansi the crown prince. Once this matter really became a reality, the Tang Dynasty would face great changes, and civil war would inevitably occur. will explode.
Di Renjie was worried to the extreme. He must prevent the outbreak of civil war and prevent Wu Sansi from taking power. Di Renjie also felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. He urgently needed help. He first thought of his son-in-law Li Zhen. If he was in the capital, he might be able to help him reverse this situation.
At this moment, Di Renjie was looking forward to Li Zhen's arrival. At this moment, Mrs. Di walked into the room with a cup of tea ginseng. She put the ginseng tea on the table and said softly: "Master, take a rest!"
Di Renjie knew that his wife was very tired from taking care of his mother's illness. He held his wife's hand, sat down and asked, "How is mother?"
Mrs. Di shook her head, "The situation is very bad. The imperial doctor said that it will only last a few days at most. My mother has been holding on, probably because she wants to see Ayan one last time."
"Is there any news about Ayan?" Di Renjie sighed and asked again.
"Although there is no news yet, judging from the time, they should arrive in the capital in the next two days. Just wait! By the way, Dalang will be back tomorrow morning."
Di Renjie felt really sad. He forced a smile and said apologetically to his wife: "I've been busy with my affairs these past two days, so I'll leave it to my wife to take care of my mother's condition."
"Don't worry, Master! The main thing is that Master himself also pays attention to his health."
"I know! I will be careful."
At this moment, a rush of running sounds was heard outside, and the housekeeper said excitedly outside the door: "Master, my aunt and the others are here, outside the house."
Di Renjie stood up. He was overjoyed and said to his wife repeatedly: "Quick! Quick! Let's get out quickly."
Mrs. Di was also extremely happy. Without waiting for her husband's instructions, she went out first. Di Renjie put on a piece of clothing and hurried out of the house.
There was great excitement outside the gate of Di Mansion. Li Zhen and his family arrived in three carriages. The family of Di Guangyuan, the second son who was re-elected as Chang'an County Magistrate, also came back with them. Five or six carriages were parked outside, as well as dozens of personal guards. cavalry.
Di Renjie and his wife quickly came out of the house. Li Zhen stepped forward to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Di Yan cried with joy and hugged her mother. At this time, Wang Qingyu came forward with three children and kowtowed to her grandfather and grandmother.
Wang Qingyu returned to Di Mansion with Di Yan the year before last. Her gentleness and kindness also won the love of Di Renjie and his wife, and she repeatedly asked Di Yan to treat her with courtesy.
Di Renjie hugged his two grandsons, and Mrs. Di also hugged them.Granddaughter, both of them were so happy that they couldn't help but smile. At this time, Di Yan asked in a low voice: "How is grandma doing?"
This sentence reminded Di Renjie, and he quickly said to his wife: "Madam, take them to see grandma."
Mrs. Di whispered: "Mom has already gone to bed, so don't disturb her. I won't have time to see her again tomorrow. I'll go arrange their room first."
Mrs. Di waved to Di Yan and Di Guangyuan, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please bring your children and follow me!"
Di Yan pulled Wang Qingyu, and the two of them followed their mother with their children. Di Guangyuan and his wife and daughter also followed their mother into the house. At this time, Di Renjie said to Li Zhen: "My dear son-in-law, come to my study. I have something to say." Say it to you."
Li Zhen told the soldiers to follow the housekeeper to rest and eat, and then he followed Di Renjie to the study.
In the study, Di Renjie asked Li Zhen to sit down and said with a smile: "I have read your work report. You did a good job last year. Recruiting Long March athletes to go to the Western Regions to cultivate borders was not smooth. Only Guanzhong did the best. Complete the plan in one month, and the Holy Spirit will be full of praise for you."
Li Zhen leaned over and smiled and said: "Actually, the main reason for going to the Western Regions to cultivate the border is psychological resistance. I feel that I am far away from my hometown and relatives. But I think as long as the benefits are enough and I give them hope of coming back, I think everyone is willing. In fact, I am It¡¯s because these two things are done well that we can use them successfully.¡±
"If they are allowed to come back, what's the point of going to the Western Regions?" Di Renjie asked, stroking his beard and smiling.
Li Zhen smiled slightly, "This is a hope. In fact, when they have a family business in the Western Regions and adapt to the life in the Western Regions, I am afraid they will not easily leave their family business and come back. Everyone will settle accounts, except for those who are far away from home. , everything else is better than home, who would eagerly abandon their family fortune and come back to suffer hardship? So I promise them to come back, just to give them psychological comfort now, in order to make them willing to go to the border. "
"That's right. This is the truth. Guanzhong's experience can be promoted in other states and counties."
At this time, Li Zhen asked again: "I wonder what the situation in the court is now?" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
