My harem can't be this messy

Page 286

At this time, Wang Yan took the long skirt and changed it happily, without avoiding her husband.

Seeing her innocent and carefree appearance, Li Zhi smiled faintly.The innocent, innocent and lovely queen is actually very cute.

But people always have to grow, and the muddy water in the harem will always stain many pure souls with many colors. This is something that Li Zhi cannot change. After all, the innocent years will always pass, and people always have to grow.

Perhaps the only thing Li Zhi can do is to protect her, so that she will not suffer substantial harm in a place like the harem.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable wearing this skirt."

Wang Yan was wearing a skirt, holding one side of the skirt with both hands, and walked in front of Li Zhi barefoot.

"It's more uncomfortable than wearing it before, but it's actually much better than the sackcloth worn by ordinary people."

"Yan'er hasn't worn the sackcloth either, but Yan'er thinks that this dress should be better than the sackcloth. Seeing the sackcloth makes Yan'er feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, take it off if you don't feel comfortable wearing it!"

"Don't take it off, your Majesty gave it to Yan'er, Yan'er will wear it."

"Okay, you wear it, let's go to the Lizheng Palace."

"Ah! It's so late, and His Majesty still wants to go to the Lizheng Hall?"

"The shoes are worn, come with me."

"Yan'er is going to change her clothes, and her hair needs to be tidied up. This dress is not suitable for seeing the queen, let alone this messy hair."

It turned out that every day when it was getting late, Wang Yan took off all the headdresses on her head. She knew that her husband didn't like the way she wore gold ornaments.So at this time, Wang Yan is really disheveled, wearing white clothes, and can pretend to be a ghost at night.

"You little fool, it is because you are wearing this dress that I am taking you to see the queen mother now. The material of this dress is pure cotton, but it is related to the good things that my Tang people will eat and wear in the future. As for the hair , Just find a belt and tie it up."

After Wang Yan heard this, she naturally didn't change it, but this hair?

Li Zhi looked at her, and walked directly to the table where Wang Yan usually dressed up, opened several jewelry boxes that Wang Yan usually put here, and rummaged inside a few times, but there was nothing suitable for tying hair.

Chapter 552 The People Are Suffering

Li Zhi called a maid, and directly took off a tether from the opponent's head. In the past, it was a simple ponytail.

"Okay, the hair is like this, put on your shoes quickly."

Li Zhi saw that she was wearing shoes, so he pulled a windproof cloak from the side of the bed, and put it on Queen Wang.

At this time, he directly hugged Queen Wang, and when he heard Wang Yan's scream, he walked out of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, there are so many maids outside, it's not appropriate for you to hold Yan'er."

"What's inappropriate, the maids at the Lizheng Palace and the Wanchun Palace are the people I trust the most, and I'm afraid they won't be able to see it."

Li Zhi hugged Wang Yan, and the maids at the Wanchun Palace were no strangers to it. The emperor and the empress were used to fighting in the palace, not to mention hugging, even fighting.

The maids who were close to Li Zhi basically shared the bed with the empress and served His Majesty. It was really a frank meeting, and they looked at everything carefully. How could they have never seen His Majesty hugging the Empress.

As for the Lizheng Hall, you have to get used to the unruly actions of the Holy Majesty and the Empress, after all, His Majesty often goes there too.

At this time, he carried Wang Yan into the queen mother's bedroom of the Lizheng Palace, and Li Zhicai let her down.The girl had just landed on the ground, and was pulled by Li Zhi to the queen's side.

"Zhi'er, why are you here now?"

"Mother, look!"

As Li Zhi said, Wang Yan had already untied the cloak she was wearing, and as Her Majesty said, let the queen mother see the long skirt she was wearing.

"Is this pure cotton?"

"The queen mother has a good eye. I went to the bamboo garden today, and Zhi'er saw it. I've been busy recently, and many things were almost delayed. The skirt was hung there for a long time after it was finished, and Zhi'er only saw it today."

"Come, Yan'er, come to the queen mother!"

Wang Yan naturally walked over obediently, Empress Changsun lifted a corner of her skirt, held it in her hand, and then looked at Li Zhi.

"Yan'er, I have something to say with my mother, you go back to Wanchun Palace first, and warm the bed for me."

"Oh!"

Seeing that Wang Yan retreated, Li Zhi was originally sitting obediently on the chair next to the Empress Dowager, but now he simply sat on the hind legs of his mother, and the Empress Dowager slapped Li Zhi on the back. .

"You, I asked you to accompany Aunt Lin, but you refused to really accompany me, but you are always thinking about how to take advantage of Aunt Lin."

"Aunt Lin, what do you think of this dress?"

Li Zhi didn't say anything else, and asked about the skirt directly.

"The hand feel is not good, and the color is not very good."

"Of course there is no way to compare this with later generations, but it must be much better than Ma."

"That's true, Zhi'er, are you planning to spread cotton products to the common people to replace linen?"

"That's right, hemp is not very good at keeping out the cold. The queen mother looked at the land of Tang Dynasty. In a year, more people died of freezing than starving."

The Empress Dowager Changsun nodded and looked at Li Zhi. In this era, in winter, the problem of dressing is more important than eating.

In the later Tang poems, don’t there be rich wine and meat, and roads where bones are frozen to death? Here we are talking about freezing to death, not starving to death.

In fact, at this time, the people's food for a year is still barely enough. Although it is really tight, it is really not to the extent of being a refugee everywhere with a cane and a broken bag.

But this winter, there are very few items to keep out the cold. Rich people can still wear fur clothes and light charcoal for warmth, but ordinary people really can only rely on shaking.

The key point is that the civilian clothes of the people at this time refer to linen clothes, not cotton, which means that ordinary people wear linen in winter. This is something that people in the future have never seen. Think about the sacks carried by dock workers in TV dramas and movies. That's what hemp is made of.

This thing has no cold resistance at all. Since there is no cotton, it is naturally impossible for the bedding in the house to have cotton and other fabrics, let alone the quilt, even the quilt is full of holes, and blackened cotton wool is exposed in the holes. This kind of quilt nothing.

Then you can think about how sad the people are in winter. The winter at this time is really cold!

"Zhi'er, the queen mother also knows that you have a good heart, so you just do what you think in your heart and try to be a good emperor. Xing, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer. But a monarch with the people in his heart, how much can he do?" Let them have a good time."

"Zhi'er is doing his best, and I don't know how much cotton Anxi can produce this year."

"Don't just stare at cotton, the way to keep warm is not only cotton."

"My queen, I understand what my mother said, but there are some ways. The Tang Dynasty has no foundation at this time. It is still a little difficult to supply coal. It's just a small amount of supply. It's barely enough, but it's difficult to supply a large area."

"Okay, Zhi'er, you're going back too. Whatever you do, the queen mother will support you, and the queen mother can't help you much, but I will also sit with your uncle and those old officials on weekdays, and let them help you as much as possible." , or try not to hold you back."

"Queen, do you know what Zhi'er misses most?"

"Let the soldiers wear cotton padded clothes, is it easy to fight?"

"Hey, it's comfortable to talk to the queen mother."

As Li Zhi said, he wrapped his arms around the back of his mother's neck, kissed her on the cheek, got up and left the Lizheng Hall.

The Empress Dowager, the eldest grandson, looked at him, after all Zhi'er was young.Young people have the energy to make a breakthrough, it doesn't matter if they make a breakthrough, the world is so big, it is enough for him to make a breakthrough.

One day, this kid will really take himself for a walk along the Nile River, and lie down under the sunset in the Mediterranean Sea, blowing the sea breeze.

The key point is that this child has a good heart, which is the best thing, otherwise, I'm really afraid that he will do something absurd.

To be an emperor, you can actually keep the bottom line, and the emperor is still very easy to do.

When Li Zhi returned to Wanchun Palace, the Queen who was lying in bed got up early to wait for Li Zhi to change his clothes.

At the dawn of the second day, someone dozed off and returned to the Wanchun Palace. After such a long time, from the prince to the emperor, he was still not used to the early court. Every morning was when Li Zhi was most confused.

I really want the spring night to be bitter and the day to be high, and the king will not go to court early from now on!However, Li Zhi really didn't want to be a foolish king. After all, he traveled once and became the king of the Tang Empire. It would be so boring to want to be a foolish king again.

I really only want to be happy for myself, even if I skip the morning court, if I indulge in wine and sex every day, this country will be abolished.

It doesn't seem right, you still have to enjoy it, but you can't waste your business just because of enjoying it.This is called work and entertainment.

Today Li Zhi just arrived at Wanchun Palace when he saw Qiu Ju standing outside the gate of Wanchun Palace.

"Qiu Ju, the queen mother is looking for me?"

"Your Majesty, King Wei came to the Empress Dowager early in the morning today, and Qiu Ju seems to have heard King Wei say that he wants to go to fiefdom."

"Go to the fief!"

Li Zhi's hand tightened for a moment, and finally let go.

Chapter 553

It is me who is the emperor, and the second brother who is devoted to the throne must be unhappy and unwilling to stay in Chang'an.

A few days ago, because of the funeral of the father, the second brother had to keep it. After all, it would be unfilial to leave at this time.

During the recent period, the second elder brother has been staying in the Wei Palace because of his illness, and it has been a long time since he was seen.

At this time, the second brother wanted to go to the fiefdom, but Li Zhi actually thought of it.In fact, the second elder brother's going to fief is a hidden danger to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi left the Lizheng Hall, where the queen mother was waiting for him.

"Queen, did you call Zhi'er here because of the second elder brother's business?"

"He's going to fief, Zhi'er, what do you think?"

"Second brother has no intention of staying in Chang'an, let him go!"

Li Zhi said this intentionally, since the queen mother called him, it was definitely impossible to just tell him about it.

"Aren't you afraid that your second brother has other thoughts?"

Li Zhi stood there, looking at his mother, his second brother had other thoughts, that's for sure, the mother was afraid that his second brother would go to the fief, which would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

At this time, the kings of the Tang Dynasty actually have quite a lot of power. Knowing why the prince rebelled and which princess participated in the rebellion at any time in the Tang Dynasty, it is so difficult to suppress it. It is really that there are soldiers and food in their hands and some people have land. what!

Take his second elder brother Wei Wang Li Tai as an example. He was named Wei Wang, and he was the governor of Xiangzhou from afar.

This is a real right. It really made the second brother go to the fiefdom. He really has the heart, but it would be very difficult for the court to control it if he ceded the land and became the king.

In fact, it's not just the Tang Dynasty, but if you look at the Chinese dynasties, the prince's rebellion would have caused the whole country to fall apart.It is really too much power in the hands of the prince.

Even in the last dynasty of the Han people, in the Ming Dynasty, the land left by Zhu Yuanzhang to the emperor's grandson was not taken away by his son Zhu Di, king of Yan.

Excessive power in the hands of the prince has always been a big and small hidden danger in the Han country, and it is naturally the same in the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, in the original history, when the father was in power, not only the prince Li Chengqian forced the palace to rebel, but also the king of Qi Li You, who was Li Zhi's fifth brother and the son of Concubine Yin.

Li You, the king of Qi, who supervised the military forces of the five states of Qi, Qing, Lai, and Mi at that time, raised troops in Qi to rebel.

In fact, from the year of Wude to the first year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, except for Jin Wang Li Zhi who went smoothly, from Jin Wang to prince, and from prince to Tang emperor, the succession of the throne was abnormal in other periods.

My emperor's grandfather belonged to the Hongnong Yang family who was seized, so he was a real relative.

His own father killed the crown prince and King Qi, which is equivalent to putting the emperor's grandfather under house arrest and seizing the country.

In the future, behind him, Empress Wu seized the Great Tang Dynasty and directly replaced Zhou Dynasty with Tang Dynasty.

Then Tang Zhongzong Li Dan overthrew his mother's country, Tang Ruizong's country was won by his son Li Longji, and when it came to Li Longji, it was even more chaos, and the chaos became a pot of porridge.

Look, the Tang Dynasty is so chaotic, it is no wonder that the queen mother is worried because the king of Wei is going to fief the land. In fact, not only the queen mother is worried, but Li Zhi is also worried!

"Queen, what do you mean is to prevent Second Brother from leaving and keep him in Chang'an."

"At least you can't let him leave now. You have just inherited the throne. At this time, the government has just adjusted, and the government is still a little turbulent. Now letting your second brother go to the fiefdom, isn't it the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain. He is in Chang'an, you can still manage it Stay, go to the fiefdom, it will be difficult to control."

"Zhi'er, you value brotherhood, but your second elder brother doesn't care about brotherhood at all. It's better to be on guard against him. If it really doesn't work, just..."

The Empress Dowager Changsun made a gesture, and Li Zhi could see clearly that this is really not his own son!But thinking about my second brother, he went to the fiefdom to cultivate power, and the probability of raising troops to rebel is indeed a bit too high.

"Queen, Nazhi'er will find something for the second brother to do, and let him stay under our noses."

"Let him guard the mausoleum!"

Li Zhi didn't expect that the queen mother had already figured out what to do here, guarding the mausoleum, hey, it was thanks to the queen mother that she could do it, as long as there is a little blood relationship, she would not let her own son guard the mausoleum.

Shouling sounds nice, but it's definitely not a good thing!

"Three years of filial piety, just right, your father also likes his son the most."

When Li Zhi left the Lizheng Hall, he touched his forehead, feeling a little sticky.

But think about it, it might be the best way for Li Tai to guard the mausoleum at this time, no matter where he goes, this is also reasonable, after all, both the father and the king of Wei are the second sons!It just so happened that father and son had a lot of heart-to-heart talks in Zhaoling, after all, father and son had plenty to talk about.

Li Zhi returned to Wanchun Hall, but there were people waiting for him here.

Li Zhi glanced at the two Misses of the Zheng family in front of him, no, they should be called Concubine Zheng at this time.

When Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, the women around him more or less received enfeoffments, but because Cui Yan and Murong Xueying had special identities, they did not receive enfeoffments, and the rest got enfeoffments.

After all, one has a marriage contract, which is equivalent to being married, and the other is his little aunt, and it will take a later time to seal it. At this time, Li Zhi has just succeeded to the throne, so it is not suitable for the seal.

At this time, the crown prince became the queen, and Li Zhi, the daughter of the Xiao family, became the concubine Shu with a stroke of a pen. After all, this sounds pleasing to the ear.Even if Li Zhi is unwilling, the queen mother will definitely let her be Concubine Shu.
