My harem can't be this messy

Page 302

It wasn't until a male duck shouted to withdraw from the court that at this moment, the civil and military personnel seemed to be relieved and looked at each other, and then someone took the lead and left the Hall of Liangyi one after another.

"Master Taiwei, what is His Majesty thinking?"

There, Wei Zheng had already caught up with Changsun Wuji who was walking ahead, and asked directly.

At this time, several officials of the court also approached here, and walked together with the eldest grandson Wuji Wei Zheng.

"What do you think His Majesty is thinking?"

Changsun Wuji asked a question without answering.

"Master Taiwei, let's go to Hongwen Pavilion to talk!"

Hongwen Pavilion has always been the place where Emperor Tang studied, and it was also a place to discuss state affairs with several high officials in the court. At this time Wei Zheng mentioned something, several people in the group looked at Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji nodded, and everyone walked towards Hongwen Pavilion.

When Li Zhi returned to Wanchun Hall, he had already received news that several important ministers had come to Hongwen Pavilion.

Li Zhi walked towards the Lizheng Hall, where the queen mother was playing chess with Sizi, this girl's chess skills were getting better and better, but whenever she played chess, she always wanted to beat her by playing chess with her sisters and younger brothers.

Helpless, Sizi can only play with his mother, his chess skills are advanced, but on his mother's side, he still draws all the time.

Chess and chess, and harmony.

"Zhi'er is here, I heard that Wei Zheng made you angry again in the early court?"

"Whenever he doesn't make me angry, even when my father is around, I don't suffer less from him."

Li Zhi was sitting next to him, and the Empress Dowager Changsun looked at Sizi and stood up.

"Sizi, stay here, the queen mother has time to accompany you to continue playing."

"Mother, that son-in-law is leaving!"

Sizi had already walked out of the Lizheng Hall, and the Empress Dowager Changsun looked at Li Zhi meaningfully.

"Are you really angry, or are you just letting them see? What the queen mother said was what you said when you retired in the morning."

"Does the queen mother think that what I said is wrong?"

"Some things come slowly, and it's always safer. For you, there is plenty of time. I heard that you called Zhijie back."

"General Cheng will return to Chang'an in a few days."

"Well, a word to my mother, to what size do you plan to expand the Anxi army? Is Zhijie going to Anxi?"

"At least [-], otherwise it will not be enough to suppress the Western Regions. As for whether General Cheng will go to Anxi, I don't know at this time. It depends on how the situation in Anxi changes."

"If you add fuel and jealousy slowly like this, Anxi's surroundings will definitely become unstable. It depends on who jumps up first."

"If my guess is correct, it must be Turk who jumped up first."

"My mother also thinks so. The Sui Dynasty used tricks to divide the Turks into two. The Eastern Turks perished, but the Western Turks have always been a problem in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of thing that harassed the border was not uncommon."

"Mother, the Western Turks are not destroyed, and the Western Regions are still unstable. Although Gaochang Loulan and other small countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, they still have other ideas in their hearts."

"You want to wait for Turk to jump up, why don't you take the initiative yourself?"

Li Zhi smiled, and held the hand of the Empress Dowager Changsun at this moment.

"I would like to be more proactive, but I have just succeeded to the throne, and the border has not been peaceful for a few years. The voices in the court still regard peace as the most important thing."

Li Zhi looked at the chessboard in front of the two of them, Lin Wanyue looked at Li Zhi, and did not say anything after all.Only when the Turks jumped out could he receive the least pressure from the court, and thus use heavy troops against the Western Turks.

Lin Wanyue looked at Li Zhi, although this kid is only 16 years old this year, his mind is rare.

"Li Zhi, are you going to Hongwen Pavilion later?"

"I won't go, I've made up my mind, there's nothing to discuss with those old officials, they want to discuss, and I can discuss it myself."

The corners of Lin Wanyue's lips curled up slightly. At this moment, she stretched out her hand, caressing the face of her cheap son, and looked at him seriously.

Although my son is not very old, no one can control his disposition. The only thing that can be changed is his way of doing things. As for the purpose, the purpose that Zhi'er believes, no one can control.

This is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of China.Lin Wanyue has always believed that the foreign race is immortal and China is restless. This has been proved by thousands of years of history. To prevent the tragic history from repeating itself, there is only one way to trample all the foreign races under the iron hoof. There is no other choice. .

Since Li Zhi was so determined in this regard, Lin Wanyue naturally didn't say much, she just stroked her son's cheek and smiled.

Hongwen Pavilion was lively at this time, and several important officials in the court were fighting fiercely.

What started to be debated was why His Majesty would continue to increase troops to Anxi, whether it was to suppress the restlessness of the countries in the Western Regions, or to arouse the dissatisfaction of the surrounding countries, or simply provoke disputes.

The next point of contention is how this continuous increase in troops will cause changes in the situation there.

Shangguanyi was listening to these important ministers arguing with each other, and then looked in the direction of Wanchun Hall. It had been half an hour, and His Majesty had no intention of coming here at all, and it seemed that he would not come.

Chapter 586

His Majesty does not want to discuss this matter with these important ministers. There are some things in the court that are not discussed, and Hongwen Pavilion has become a buffer. Since His Majesty does not come here, the decision to increase troops to Anxi will not change.

At this time, the Hongwenge Zhishulang walked out of the Hongwenge, hearing the fierce competition inside, he couldn't help but smiled. Although His Majesty is young, it is very difficult for the ministers to influence his thoughts.But I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

When the late emperor was here, many matters in the Hongwen Pavilion were still discussed with the important ministers, and His Majesty did not even need to discuss them.

Naturally, Li Zhi couldn't hear Hongwenge's twittering, and he didn't want to hear it. He continued to walk on the path he believed in, and why should he change the things he believed in.

"Your Majesty, look at this parrot. My mother brought it home."

"Oh, how long has this parrot been raised by Wang's family?"

"It's been three or four years, come and say Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard the parrot's cry. Sometimes, the courtier he needs only needs to be able to say "Long live Your Majesty".

"Your Majesty, the old ministers at Hongwen Pavilion are still here!"

At this time, Yue'er had already left behind Li Zhi, and Li Zhi looked at her.

"Yue'er, go to the Shangshi Bureau to order someone to deliver some snacks and tea to Hongwen Pavilion. Several veteran officials got up early, and they probably haven't had breakfast yet. Let them eat some, so that they can continue to discuss state affairs there. "

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Yue'er naturally followed His Majesty's instructions.

At this time, a beautiful shadow had already walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Li Zhi looked at the person, smiled, and teased the parrot twice, and the person had come to Li Zhi's side.

"Sister Cui, does this parrot look pretty?"

"Beautiful, Your Majesty, how did this parrot come about?"

"In the queen's house, Mrs. Wei probably brought the parrot raised at home to amuse her because she was afraid that she would be fine in the palace."

Here in the Hall of Wanchun, His Majesty is teasing the parrot, and the Empress Dowager Sun, the head of the Hall of Lizheng, accompanied Sizi to continue the unfinished game of chess.

Here in Hongwen Pavilion, people from the Shangshi Bureau have brought snacks and tea. When these things were delivered, the complexions of several important officials changed.

There, Changsun Wuji patted the armrest of the chair lightly, and looked at several colleagues.

"Several, we should go back after having some snacks."

Chu Suiliang next to him shook his head, Wei Zheng was a little dumbfounded.

Over there, Shangguanyi walked into Hongwen Pavilion at this time, and continued to revise an ancient book he was revising.

"It seems that His Majesty is really unwilling to discuss this matter, Mr. Taiwei, can you meet the Queen Mother?"

"Your Majesty should have met the Queen Mother, and you all understand that the Queen Mother has always supported Your Majesty."

The few ministers could only smile wryly at this time, they were really hungry after eating some snacks.

Walking out of Hongwen Pavilion, the carriages outside were already prepared, and several court officials could only smile wryly when they saw the prepared carriages.

This is to let them eat and drink well, and then send them back to the mansion without discussing or discussing.

The tug-of-war between the important ministers and the Emperor Tang ended in this way, and the final result was naturally that no one could shake Li Zhi's determination in the slightest.

The increase in troops must be increased, and there is no need to discuss it.

In the Lizheng Palace, there was another game of chess. Sizi propped his chin with his arms and was still looking at the chessboard. The Empress Dowager Changsun looked at her and tapped the girl's forehead with her jade fingers.

"What's the matter? Si, ​​can you continue playing this game?"

Sizi shook his head, the eldest grandson Empress Dowager had already got up.

"Okay, the things are collected, let's go and play with them!"

"Mother queen, how many draws have Si Zi and mother queen played?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly? You and your mother always draw when you play chess. How can your mother remember how many draws we played?"

"But Sizi remembers that Sizi and his mother played a total of 59 draw games."

"59 rounds, that's a lot. Then how many rounds do you remember playing against your father?"

"Three rounds of 170, of which seven wins and 22, and the rest are all losses."

"This is a bit too much to lose, well, the game is over."

"Si son, do you know how much you win or lose when your imperial brother plays chess with the queen mother?"

Sizi put away the chess pieces, and just shook his head when he heard what the queen mother said, how could she know this.

"He lost one game in total and played only one game."

Sizi nodded thoughtfully, but she still didn't understand why the queen mother specifically asked this and said this.

However, brother Huang's chess is really bad. If he played against him, he could clean him up without any pressure. Now he doesn't play chess with him anymore.

The son was still thinking about it, when he suddenly realized that the queen mother was looking at her.

"Si, are you thinking in your heart that your brother is a stinky chess player?"

"Ah, no!"

The Empress Dowager Changsun laughed, shook her head, and walked out of the Lizheng Hall.

The sun is warm outside, and at this time, it happens to be May today.

Before you know it, it's May again. After May, it should be hotter and hotter every day. It's hard!

Sizi walked past the Empress Dowager Changsun and went to find her sisters and sisters. The Empress Dowager Changsun looked at the place where the three daughters lived. Should they be allowed to live in the Lizheng Hall?

This matter still needs to be discussed with Zhi'er to see what he means.

On the second day, Cheng Zhijie returned to Chang'an, this matter is not big or small, it depends on who it is.

For ordinary people, whether an important court official is in Chang'an, or where he is, actually has little to do with them, at most it is just a matter of conversation.

But for some people in the court, it is completely different. Cheng Zhijie is not an ordinary courtier, but an important minister among the important ministers in the court. At this time, among the civil servants and military generals of the Tang Dynasty, the civil servant is the most important than Changsun Wuji, and the military general is Cheng Zhijie. .

His Majesty succeeded to the throne, sent troops to Anxi three times, and called Cheng Zhijie back to Chang'an at this time, the intention of which was very obvious.

At this moment in Chang'an, Cheng Zhijie had just returned, so he planned to rush to the palace immediately, but he had just entered the city gate and got the news that the Queen Mother and His Majesty were waiting for him at Cheng's house.

The Queen Mother and His Majesty were in his own home, Cheng Zhijie was a little flattered at this time, but also a little dumbfounded.

At this time, of course, he hurried to his own mansion, his military uniform was still on, and his body was covered with dust, and he was about to meet the Queen Mother and His Majesty.

When the three of them met, it was actually the first time for Li Zhi to meet this famous general of the Tang Dynasty, the famous three-axe Cheng Yaojin in history.

However, the historical records of later generations have always been wrong. Cheng Zhijie did not come from a reckless background. His reckless background was actually instilled in everyone by those unscrupulous film and television dramas.

Cheng Zhijie's background is excellent, and his ancestors have always been high-ranking officials. They are the so-called gentry and have nothing to do with Cao Mang.

Therefore, don't think that this general has too much recklessness, or even not even a trace of it.

Chapter 587

Before Li Zhi met him, he had actually made up a lot of homework with his mother and asked her to tell a lot about Cheng Zhijie.

I'm afraid that when I meet Cheng Zhijie, some jokes will be made, after all, this is a close minister of the father and queen, so it's not good to make jokes with him.

In the past, Li Zhi was actually more or less influenced by some film and television dramas. When he came to Datang, he realized that the history in movies and television is different from that recorded in history books, and it is even a reversal of black and white.

The film and television dramas of the later generations have really washed some people, such as the gang of Man Qing's elder brother Gege.It also discredited many people, so I won’t mention this.The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom!

When we met at this time, Cheng Zhijie was really courteous and thoughtful, and Li Zhi didn't see anything similar to the movies and TV shows in him.

Even his name, TV and movies are generally called Cheng Yaojin, but in Datang, whenever Li Zhi heard someone call his name, it was always Cheng Zhijie, and he had never heard anyone call him Cheng Yaojin.

When the father and queen saw him, they also called him A Chou to show their closeness, but they didn't call him Yaojin.

At this time, the queen mother also patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder familiarly, and called Ah Chou. Obviously, the relationship between the two is very good. If it weren't for this, the movement of patting the shoulder and the nickname of A Chou would not be able to be called out. of.

This is full of civil and military affairs in the court, and he has a personal relationship with his father, this Cheng Achou should be No. 1.Cheng Zhijie also contributed a lot to his father being able to ascend the throne.
