Wei Zheng was fooled by Fang Xuanling for a while and walked to the third floor of the imperial study room scratching his head. The eunuch on duty at the door heard that Li Mingda had just asked Fang Xuanling to call Wei Zheng, so there was no way to stop him.
"Master Wei, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
It turned out that Fang Xuanling was not lying to herself. She quickly walked to Li Mingda's couch and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, pays homage to you."
"Master Wei Zheng, please get up and give me a seat to watch tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Wei Zheng sat on the pony and looked at the tea and snacks in front of him. Processing official documents for most of the day looked relaxed on the outside, but in fact it consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
Knowing that Li Mingda didn't like those false pretences, Wei Zheng, who was really a little hungry, didn't hesitate to pick up some pastries and eat some while waiting for Li Mingda's questions.
Seeing Wei Zheng eating, Li Mingda was not in a hurry. He waited for Wei Zheng to rest his stomach before talking. Most of the official documents from now on will be handed over to Wei Zheng and his ministers to handle. If you want the horse to run away, let him go. They're full, right?
After eating two pieces of pastries, Wei Zheng felt warm in his stomach, and part of the fatigue on his body was swept away. He took a sip of tea and drank the pastries. Wei Zheng looked at Li Mingda, who was still looking at him with closing eyes, and felt puzzled in his heart. Today What does your majesty want you to do with me?
That Fang Xuanling must know something, he deliberately didn't tell himself, it must be like this.
This old man should go back and deal with him properly.
"Your Majesty, I have eaten a lot. Is it time for you to ask me something?"
Wei Zheng himself felt that it was not a problem to wait any longer, so it was really time for him to ask something.
Salted fish turn over
Let's do it
Li Mingda rubbed his wrist and sat across from Wei Zheng with great dignity: "Master Wei Zheng, I want to know what my aunt looks like in your memory."
His Majesty's aunt
Princess Pingyangzhao Li Xiuning
Wei Zheng remembered that strange woman who was generous, talented and kind to others. He first met her when she was about ten years old. It was a spring when the children of the official families in Chang'an City went out for an outing. He was still a child at the time. A Taoist priest happened to meet their team while traveling.
Among the crowd, she was like a crane standing among a flock of white geese. They all seemed to have bright and beautiful snow-white feathers. In fact, she was the most unique person. Wei Zheng even pinched his fingers to do the math for her, and found out I am not good at studying and have not figured out why.
Later, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the society was in turmoil. Wei Zheng lived in Wagangzhai among the people, while Li Xiuning became a legend and raised the banner in Chang'an City.
Both sides have dealt with each other
"Princess Pingyang Zhao," Wei Zheng stroked his beard: "I still remember the first time I met Princess Pingyang Zhao. At that time, the spring was warm, the grass was growing, and the orioles were flying. The children of the nobles of the Sui Dynasty in Chang'an City When they came out from Chang'an City for an outing, most of the noble ladies sat in carriages. Your aunt was an exception. She was leaning against the door of the carriage, looking at the sky, as if she was not a mortal but fell into the mortal world and missed heaven. The fairy..."
Following Wei Zheng's words, Li Mingda gradually began to think about the maverick who came out of the temple fair and was kind to others. He held high the banner for the people of Chang'an City, saved the common people of the city, and went into battle to fight against the enemy in order to defend their homeland. A heroic female general.
After talking for a long time, Wei Zheng felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. The sweetness of the tea moistened his dry throat, and Wei Zheng felt that he was much better.
"Well, Master Wei Zheng, you and my aunt are old acquaintances, right?"
Wei Zheng: "Yes"
"Then let me ask you, does my aunt have the desire to conquer the world?"
Wei Zheng thought for a while and shook his head: "No, Princess Pingyang Zhao is a person who prefers quietness to excessive excitement."
"So what's the relationship between my aunt and my grandfather?"
Wei Zheng recalled the past and then said to Li Mingda: "I got along well with the late emperor most of the time, except for the fact that I often had disputes with the late emperor over the matter of Chai Shao, Duke of Qiao."
oh
Looking back on some of the rumors I have lived, it seems that Li Xiuning does not like Chai Shao. There are several reasons. The first is that when Li Yuan raised his army, both Li Xiuning and Chai Shao lived peacefully in Chang'an City.
The other one is because Chai Shao abandoned Li Xiuning and ran away from Chang'an City alone, leaving Li Xiuning to fend for herself in Chang'an City. It said that Chai Shao left Li Xiuning and ran away. In the end, it was Li Yuan's fault. The Chai family and the Li family If Li Yuan raises an army due to a marriage, Chai Lingwu will definitely be captured and killed by Yang Guang in Chang'an City to serve as a warning to others.
So Chai Shao left Li Xiuning behind. Li Xiuning had resentment towards the Li family, but it was something she didn't understand. Perhaps what made Li Xiuning a little sad was that his biological father abandoned him, and the man he thought he could trust ran away.
In order to survive as a last resort, Li Xiuning had to rely on herself. That's why the legendary Princess Pingyang Zhao had the Detachment of Women and the current Niangzi Pass.
There are also hundreds of thousands of people living in Chang'an City.
Tsk tsk tsk
Li Yuan raised the army because someone had set a trap for him. This person was his cheap father Li Shimin. As for the tricks used by Li Yuan to raise the army, Li Mingda felt that Li Yuan was playing hard to get. Should the second son of the Li family take the blame? It's really the second son of the Li family who is tinkering.
If it was his father who was instigating this, why didn't he notify Li Xiuning and Chai Shao in Chang'an City in advance? Even if he was worried that the matter would be discovered in advance, you have raised troops openly and prepared, so what are you afraid of? Send someone as soon as possible Go and give a notice, it is always okay to let people run away without saying anything.
Or maybe someone sent someone out and was deliberately stopped by some people. According to Wei Zheng, Li Xiuning didn't care about the messy things at home and just lived his own small life every day.
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin
Three people are wandering in Li Mingda's mind. All three of them are suspected, and no one can be cleared.
Tsk tsk tsk
What a family
Um
No, there is another person who may be possible, and that is Li Daozong. If Li Daozong wants that position, the first person he must get rid of is Li Xiuning, who holds military power and is the uncrowned king in Chang'an City, and then blames Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, or Li Yuan. That's right.
If someone other than Li Xiuning dies, the three of them will inevitably have suspicions in their hearts. If they have suspicions, the three of them will not be together. Think about Li Jiancheng's affair with Li Yuan's beloved concubine. No matter what they think, they will follow Li Yuan's rebellion with Yang. A complete set of acquaintances with certain concubines who stayed in Jinyang Palace.
The taste of this seems very familiar
