It is a good thing for princes, generals and ministers to be happy and have a son. It is a pity that even if the civil and military officials in the court learned about this good thing, few people would congratulate it.
On one side is the emperor Li Xian, on the other side is the empress dowager.
The old Li family always has a time to celebrate. Both Wu Meiniang and Li Xian are worthy of congratulations, and they dare to do so, but only the prince and Prince Xiang who are outside, they really don't dare to do so now.
Because maybe one day I go there, and I might actually 'go' when I come back!
But there are exceptions to everything, and there is one person who is not afraid of these.
This person is a hidden princess, the daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan. In terms of seniority, she is also the aunt of Li Zhi and the aunt of Li Xian and Li Dan.
Now he is over 70 years old, and he is very impressive outside, but he has never contacted his family.
It wasn't until Li Zhi died that she came back to stay in the capital, nominally to comfort Wu Meiniang, but no one knew what secrets she hid.
Now she did not go to Prime Minister Li Dan, but ordered someone to bring several boxes of jewelry, silk and satin. She said she was congratulating Li Dan, but in fact she placed all the items in front of Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang didn't refute when she saw this. She naturally knew that the other party must have come with something in mind. Moreover, the other party was an elder and the jewelry and silk were genuine. Let's listen to what she would say.
Princess Qianjin doesn't care that much. If she wants to get along now, she has to flatter whoever has the power.
After flattery, as much as you give away, you can get back double the amount.
Who is more powerful in the Tang Dynasty now?
On the surface it is Li Xian, but in reality everyone knows that they are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Meiniang.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yunxiao, had no real power, but he had won the hearts of the people since the Zhenguan period. Thousands of people might follow his orders.
Wu Meiniang, one of the most powerful people in the dynasty, ranked among the tens of millions of people. Not long ago, she used thunderous means to put down some troubles, and her morale became even higher.
She couldn't think about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There were rumors outside that Li Yunxiao had killed many officials on the street in the past few years, and no one could guess his temper.
The most important thing is that this guy killed someone without any problem. Who dares to stroke his beard?
If the caressing made her feel better, it would be okay, but if she felt uncomfortable, would she end up dead on the street like the officials in the rumors?
When she came to the table and saw Wu Meiniang holding a book, Princess Qianjin smiled and said: "I heard that the Queen Mother has a headache two days ago. If you still read in your free time, you should pay attention to your health."
Wu Meiniang rubbed her eyebrows. She had a headache the past few days because there were reports from some southern states and counties that someone was planning to rebel.
There was also the shadow of the Xuantian Sect among them. She really didn’t know what those people were doing, so why not live a good life?
"In the past few months, the border troubles have been unclear for many times. The Ai family does not have heroes like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in their hands. Otherwise, it would save those people who are not very capable and have a bad temper from causing trouble to our Tang Dynasty."
These words refer to some senior generals in the court. On the surface, they said nothing about Wu Zetian's rise to power, but they were still very resistant to her orders.
Wu Meiniang sighed and murmured to herself: "If the Imperial Master is willing to help me..."
Princess Qianjin sneered and said: "The Queen Mother is still worried about what the emperor's master is doing. Instead of worrying about it, it is better to cultivate a few more young generals now."
Wu Meiniang's eyes narrowed slightly and she waved to Princess Qianjin: "Come up here."
Princess Qianjin looked stunned, not knowing what was going on, but she still walked over.
Wu Meiniang put her hands on her body, and a burst of inner strength suddenly appeared inside her body.
After probing for a while, Wu Meiniang smiled lightly and said, "Your body is quite strong and strong."
After saying these words, Wu Meiniang removed the suspicion in her heart.
She and the Xuantian Sect were using each other. She had had enough of surveillance, and thought that the rich princess was too, but after investigating her inner strength, she found that she had not practiced martial arts, so she ignored him.
Princess Qianjin smiled lightly and said: "This is all due to the luck of the Queen Mother."
Wu Meiniang waved her hand: "Okay, since you have given the Ai family a plan, do you know who is worth training?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Princess Qianjin's eyes.
"I won't be afraid of the Queen Mother's ridicule if I say it. My Ke Yi is pretty good."
"He has served under Qianniuwei General Li Yuanfang for many years. He has done his best but has no choice but to stand out. If you promote him to a general and give him training, wouldn't he be..."
Princess Qian Jin had begged Li Chunfeng for her life in her early years. Li Chunfeng once said that it probably meant that she was destined to be a murderer, and her good deeds could break his life.
Sure enough, the first husband died, and a few years later the second husband also died.
Fortunately, she had a son left, and Zheng Keyi depended on him for life, but she only paid attention to Kefu, but did not listen to Li Chunfeng's words of doing good things.
Now she has let go. Now she is no longer looking for a husband. Instead, when she is lonely, she will find someone who is pleasing to her eyes to relieve her fatigue.
Wu Meiniang had no expression after hearing this.
She doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. She doesn't seek wealth, but an official position.
"Okay, don't waste your efforts. The Yongzhen Ceremony is right there. As long as the merits are met, the imperial court will issue an order about your son's future. Don't ask any more."
Princess Qianjin came back with a flash of embarrassment on her face.
This thing is not just a matter of words here in Wu Meiniang? Returning to the Yongzhen Ceremony was obviously an attempt to bring her into line with Li Yunxiao.
After a moment of silence, Princess Qianjin glanced at the quiet hall and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, when she heard about Linde, the Queen Mother liked Buddhism. Did she call in eminent monks to give lectures and pray for blessings when she came in?"
Wu Meiniang shook her head: "Since Li Zhi passed away, the Imperial Master once said that Buddhism is not allowed to be widely spread."
"It can only be implemented when there will be no more disasters in the world for thousands of years."
"What!? No disaster for a thousand years?"
"He... did the Queen Mother listen to what he said?"
Wu Meiniang sighed: "How about listening? How about not listening? I am tied to the court by these things now. There are a lot of things, which one is missing me?"
"How can I find the time to pay attention to the teachings of some eminent monks?"
Princess Qianjin frowned slightly and said, "Buddhism is broad, and those who sincerely seek the Buddha will always get results. The Queen Mother works hard for the people all day long. This is a great merit."
Wu Meiniang sneered and said: "There is no need to flatter the Ai family. Who knows that the Ai family is reluctant to give up this power, and they still talk so high-sounding."
"This means that the Ai family is in charge well. If it is not good, the officials below will be the first to come out and accuse the Ai family."
Princess Qianjin smiled lightly and said, "Then you have to find some time to relax."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Princess Qianjin started talking about men's matters.
Especially when Wu Meiniang heard that she had traveled thousands of miles to queue up just to see a novice monk, she was shocked.
After Wu Meiniang heard this, she shook her head: "You have such a mouth, please keep your words. I am a cultivator, how can I let you talk about it behind my back? You don't want the merits you just called?"
Princess Qianjin also became interested, and no longer had the fear she had at the beginning.
"People of our age should discuss what's wrong with men."
"And the Queen Mother's face remains the same as before. She is always alone. Isn't it lonely?"
Wu Meiniang looked at Princess Qianjin carefully.
Although Princess Qianjin has a few strands of gray hair, she looks very good and her skin is plump. It seems that she uses some things to maintain her skin.
"You have a good face, what's the trick?"
Princess Qianjin said mysteriously: "This..."
She was about to say something, but stopped when she saw the eunuch at the door.
Wu Meiniang said calmly: "Gao Lishi, I don't need you here anymore. You can go back first."
Gao Lishi was listening enthusiastically outside, and the sudden words made him feel unhappy, but he still bowed and retreated.
