Now that the knot in his mind about Li Hong was gone, the knot in his heart about the position of the prince had also disappeared without a trace. Li Zhi felt his heart was at ease, and his ailments seemed to have been cured by medicine.
Seeing Li Xian saluting and thanking the Queen, Li Zhi couldn't help but interject: "Okay, don't rush to be happy first. Xian'er, it's okay for you to find some merchants to do business, but you must pay taxes. Nowadays, many people in the DPRK use With this one hand to make up for the family income, even the imperial censors and officials, few dare to impeach people for this kind of thing. Because if they don't impeach someone, once they impeach him, the civil and military officials in the court will be unclean.
The public can protect you in doing business, but if you make mistakes elsewhere, I'm afraid you will be attacked by the crowd. After all, you are not in the fiefdom now, but back to Chang'an. As for how long it will take..."
Li Zhi didn't finish what he said, but both Li Xian and Tian Hou understood what it meant.
Especially the Queen, who has already begun to think about how to keep Li Xian after such a thing occurs.
Today's trip to the palace, Li Zhi untied the knot in his heart, so why didn't the queen gain nothing?
To her, a filial prince is definitely more trustworthy than an unfilial son. Since he has to rely on her in the future, it is only natural that she should provide him with protection now.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Aye for reminding me. I understand the pros and cons."
Indeed, as the emperor said, if you don't do business, it's fine. Once you do business, it is equivalent to giving others an excuse to attack. However, having money or not having money is really the difference between heaven and hell.
It is difficult to move forward without money. This sentence applies to any era since the concept of "money" came into being.
Regarding this, Li Xian had no choice.
Seeing Li Xian's confident look, Li Zhi wanted to warn him again, but he kept his mouth shut. Sometimes, principles cannot be taught by word of mouth alone. Falling down and getting up yourself are more memorable.
Let him deal with it on his own!
Seeing that Li Yun had brought tea, Li Zhi drank another cup, then stood up and said, "Since you have confidence in your heart, come to court tomorrow."
"Go to court?"
Li Xian was stunned for a moment and agreed immediately.
It’s a court meeting, I’ve long wanted to see it. Li Xian felt extremely excited when he thought that this would be the place where he would struggle for some time in the future.
"You have learned the rules of going to court before, and you have not forgotten them even after thinking about it. When you go to court tomorrow, remember, look more, listen more, and don't talk."
After saying that, Li Zhi gave Li Xian a meaningful look, and then, with the support of the Queen, he walked out of the lobby.
Look more, listen more, don’t talk?
Without enough time to appreciate the meaning of these words, Li Xian quickly turned around and followed, sending the emperor and empress off.
When you come, you arrive in secret, and when you leave, you can't be ostentatious, so Li Zhi planned to use the back door.
As for the queen, it was a formal trip, so she naturally had to leave through the front door.
One after the other, Li Xian, who had no choice but to choose one to send each other off.
In front of the lobby, seeing Li Xian's embarrassment, Li Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Send your mother to you. I want to leave quietly, so of course I can't make any announcement."
"I'm so rude."
After agreeing, Li Xian weakly supported Tian Hou and walked towards the front door.
After walking a few steps, the Queen became dissatisfied and said: "You child, your father asked you to give it to grandma, so you gave it away? You can't tell which is more important?"
Feeling the Queen's concern for him, Li Xian chuckled, stood still, pointed at Fang who was hurriedly coming behind him, and said: "Look, grandma, isn't there someone to send you over? As for my son, this is it. Go see your father off."
The Queen of Heaven also saw Fang who came to see her off, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then go quickly."
Li Xian agreed and ran towards the back door.
Looking at Li Xian's leaving figure, thinking that if Fang didn't show up, the child would be given away to her, the Queen couldn't help but smile.
Li Xian had a headache, a terrible headache.
It is difficult to avoid offending both sides. The best way is to calculate the gains and losses, and finally choose the side with lighter consequences.
For example, if the emperor opens his mouth, he can send it to the Queen of Heaven. Because this was arranged by the emperor himself, there was no dissatisfaction.
What's more, compared with the current emperor and empress, Li Xian felt that he still needed to flatter Wu Zetian.
No matter how dissatisfied the emperor is, the throne must still be passed on. This dissatisfied person, tsk tsk, is pretending to be a good boy today for nothing.
The most difficult thing about this dilemma is to find a balance.
With Fang's arrival, this balance point emerged.
Husband and wife are one, it is suitable for Fang to send the queen, and Li Xian to the emperor, and no one can tell whether it is wrong or not.
While running, Li Xian couldn't help but press his temples. I have thought so much about even the small matter of giving it away, which is really tiring.
But it doesn't matter if you don't feel tired. In the royal family, especially when it comes to matters involving the position of the prince and the change of imperial power, if you don't work hard, you will definitely die without a burial place.
Li Zhi was in poor health, so Li Xian caught up with him within a few steps.
Hearing the sound of running, Li Zhi turned around and saw Li Xian's figure, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
When Li Xian came closer, he stretched out his hand, put it on Li Xian's shoulder naturally, and said with a smile: "Didn't you go to see your mother off? Why did you come back again? In such a short time, you sent your mother to the gate of the house. , not enough.”
Naturally, we can't talk about the appearance of Fang. Li Xian was slightly shorter, so that the emperor could use his strength better, and then said: "Although you have spoken, I still think it is more appropriate to send you off. After all, my mother is in good health, but you..."
Seeing that Li Xian did not dare to speak any more, Li Zhi said indifferently: "There is nothing to say. I know my body well. Back then, the late emperor had wind disease, and my mother not only had wind disease, but also qi disease. I As their son, he did not expect to inherit both diseases.
Over the years, I have been working hard, coupled with the illness, I have reached this age, which is already very good. Your eldest brother is very lucky, so the future will be entrusted to you. Fortunately, you did not disappoint me. Tomorrow, I will tell the world that I will make you the crown prince, how about it? "
Will it be closed tomorrow?
Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Ah, my son should have followed your kindness. But now, the emperor... Look, can we wait until the emperor is buried?"
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just impatient, but it doesn't matter, I will make you the prince tomorrow, do you understand?"
Li Xian nodded, of course he must understand this.
Saying the words of rejection in the palace is far less shocking than saying them in the court.
At least, my respect for the late prince must be shown to others.
