Towards the end of the year, Yang Hui came to Changqing Palace more and more often. Every time he came, he told Concubine Wu Hui how the prince and others had slandered Concubine Wu Hui, Prince Shou and her son behind her back.
The more Li Changan thought about it, the more she felt that something big was about to happen, so she simply found an excuse to leave the palace.
Fortunately, Cao Yenaji has been sent out. She has nothing to worry about seeing Concubine Wu Hui for the time being, so she no longer has to guard against Mingyue. But now she doesn't have to take Mingyue out. Concubine Wu Hui has passed Ming Yue for her at Li Longji's side. In the future, when she leaves the palace, several guards will follow her to protect her.
When she grows older, she may be able to do it without a bodyguard.
Li Changan swaggered to Shen Chu's house in a carriage and knocked on his door.
When Shen Chu opened the door, he saw three tall guards, with swords swaggering around their waists.
Shen Chu looked down at the proud Li Changan with a subtle expression, "Are you going to lead people to demolish my house?"
"Teacher, you are too old-fashioned." Li Changan grunted, "Shouldn't you show surprise at this time?"
A smile flashed in Shen Chu's eyes.
"Should ordinary people come to welcome Her Royal Highness with fear?"
Li Changan pictured her teacher's fear in his mind, and his expression was frightened for a moment.
This is so out of character!
Li Changan took out three small pieces of gold from the embroidery bag hanging by his side and handed them to the guards who were following him. He sent them to a restaurant aside to drink, and then followed Shen Chu into the courtyard.
Silver was not a common currency in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the common currencies were copper coins, silk and gold. As a princess, she couldn't just use a few copper coins to send her subordinates. The copper coins were too heavy, so only gold was suitable.
At present, Li Changan's source of pocket money is Concubine Wu Hui, and in a few years it will be her food allowance. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had just changed the system of food entitlement in the past two years. "If the master does not marry, he will also entitle a thousand households." However, this can only be achieved by a titled princess. Now Li Changan is still young and has not yet been granted a title.
But Concubine Wu Hui is rich, and Li Changan is also rich rounded up.
So now Li Changan looked at Shen Chu's dilapidated courtyard, his eyes became critical: "Teacher, I will use the money to repair the courtyard for you, the bricks are falling off the walls of your courtyard."
Shen Chu glanced at her lightly: "This is a shabby room, but I am virtuous. Confucius said, why is it so shabby?"
Li Chang'an thought for a while: "That's right. Datang attaches great importance to reputation. If a teacher wants to be an official, he must not lose a good reputation. Just make some mistakes, it will just highlight the teacher's integrity."
The brain circuits of two people always lead to the same destination by different paths.
Shen Chu glanced at his student, who was obsessed with fame and wealth, and shook his head.
But he didn't say anything.
fair enough.
"Ms. Cao sent a message from someone the day before yesterday, saying that she has arrived in Hedong and will stay in Hedong until the new year to recuperate before heading north." Shen Chu told her the news that Li Changan was most looking forward to.
A smile appeared on Li Changan's face after hearing the news about Cao Yenaji. Hedong is not far or close to Chang'an, so it is very suitable for recuperating. Her mother is still weak now and should really take care of herself for a few months before leaving. .
While talking, the two of them had already passed through the hall and reached the study.
There are not many decorations in the study room, only a desk and a shelf with a few simple utensils. The bookshelf next to the wall is full of stuff.
"I am a descendant of Shen Quanqi, so I should be considered his grandson." Shen Chu explained to Li Changan, pointing to a bookshelf full of books.
Shen Quanqi and Song Zhiwen are both called "Shen Song", and historical analysts believe that they are the representative poets who established the rhythmic poetry system.
The only knowledge she knew about Shen Quanqi suddenly popped into Li Changan's mind.
No way, Shen Quanqi was too inconspicuous in the Tang Dynasty where the poetry star was so bright. This knowledge point of Li Changan's Notes was only used to answer the essay question about the context of Tang poetry.
Shen Chu looked at Li Changan's expression and knew that her mind was empty. In the past, every time Li Changan encountered unfamiliar knowledge points during his assessment, he would show this calm expression of "I know it". Shen Chu was deceived so many times in the beginning. times. The more times he did it, he knew that this guy was not pretending. The calmer his expression, the blanker his mind would be.
Although they were no longer teachers and students, Shen Chu couldn't help but want to scold Li Changan when he looked at her, "You are the worst student I have ever had."
"Tell me, you little troublemaker, why did you come to see me this time?"
Shen Chu took Li Changan around the ancient shelf. Behind the ancient shelf was a desk. It was not the desk commonly used in this era, but the four-legged desk of later generations. This was the desk that Shen Chu had specially made by a carpenter. .
Li Changan was not polite and directly made a crescent moon stool and sat opposite Shen Chu, blinking his big, clear and stupid eyes and staring straight at Shen Chu.
"Teacher, I suddenly found that I fell in love with learning." Li Changan said shamelessly.
Veins popped up on Shen Chu's forehead: "You didn't suddenly realize you fell in love with learning until you arrived in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Li Chang'an sighed: "I will miss the book when it comes to use."
"What do you want to learn?" Shen Chu asked.
"I want to learn history." Li Changan smiled so much that he showed eight small white teeth.
He knew it! Shen Chu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that this was indeed the case.
Li Changan quickly explained her recent discoveries.
"My current sister, Princess Xianyi, and her consort named Yang Hui, have been coming to see my current aunt, Concubine Wu Hui, recently. Yang Hui told Concubine Wu Hui that the prince and others were planning to kill her and Prince Shou behind the scenes."
At this point, Li Changan paused for a moment, and then Shen Chu took over Li Changan's words and continued.
"Concubine Hui cried to Xuanzong and complained that the prince had formed a clique to murder their mother and son. Xuanzong was furious and wanted to depose the prince. These should be things before Zhang Jiuling resigned from the prime minister."
As Shen Chu narrated, Li Changan frowned: "But now Yang Hui is still complaining to Concubine Wu Hui."
She just thought about it for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"Li Longji has the intention to depose the prince, and Concubine Wu Hui also knows that the prince will definitely be deposed." Li Changan affirmed.
If Li Longji had not thought of deposing the prince, then it would be impossible for Concubine Wu Hui to cry to Li Longji again and again. As the person who had been favored for decades, Concubine Wu Hui understood Li Longji far better than anyone else. .
Once the emperor had his mind set on deposing the prince, no one could dissuade him.
Shen Chu sighed softly: "You are right, the current crown prince will be deposed in May next year."
"Concubine Wu Hui lied that there was a thief in the palace, and Prince Ying, E Wang Yao, and Guang Wang Ju brought Jia into the palace. When Xuanzong saw this, he was furious and demoted the three sons to common people. A few days later, they were sentenced to death."
In just a few words, Li Changan was shocked by the information revealed and his eyes widened.
A few sentences in history books translate into a bloody storm in reality.
"Prince Ying? The current prince is Li Hong." Li Changan pointed out the point that he was most confused about.
Shen Chu said: "In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Li Hong changed his name to Li Ying."
Li Changan was silent.
She seemed to know what the problem was that she had not been able to find Tang Suzong and Li Heng in the past few years.
"I have been looking for the future Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng, for the past few years." Li Changan muttered, "But I don't have a brother named Li Heng."
Shen Chu was helpless: "Li Yu, the third son of Emperor Xuanzong, changed his name to Shao in the 28th year, and changed his name to Heng in the third year of Tianbao."
After Shen Chu said this, Li Changan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
She dared to bet that, let alone her, a scumbag who took the cross-professional postgraduate entrance examination, even the senior sister next door who won the national scholarship every year couldn't remember clearly: "Li Heng, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, was first called Li Yu, then Li Shao, and finally Li Heng." "This kind of thing.
Why do you always want to change your name? She couldn't find anyone.
"Teacher, has any important person changed their name?" Li Changan learned something from the experience and thought it was better to ask about important matters first.
Shen Chu thought about it for a while, and a string of names emerged from his memory, but most of them were unimportant people. There was only one...
"Yang Guozhong's real name is Yang Zhao."
Li Changan silently wrote it down and changed the topic again.
"Concubine Wu Hui encouraged Li Longji to dethrone the crown prince, definitely to make her own son the crown prince, but Prince Shou didn't become the crown prince in the end?"
Li Changan quickly sorted out the information she already knew. She was not in a hurry to ask Shen Chu first, but relied on the information she knew to speculate on the situation.
Rather than relying on the historical facts Shen Chu told her, Li Changan preferred to rely on herself. The news Shen Chu gave her were only a few sentences recorded in history books, but the reality was always much more exciting than the records.
Everything is human-made, reality can be changed, and the situation is always changing. It is necessary to combine history books with the specific reality of the Tang Dynasty. Li Changan's current name is "An Niang" instead of "Chong Niang". The fact that Cao Ye Naji is still alive and kicking is the best proof.
Li Changan sorted through the information she knew so far.
King Shou is currently married to Yang Yuhuan. King Shou's mother is Concubine Wu Hui. Concubine Wu Hui pushed for the abolition of the prince because she wanted her son, King Shou, to be the prince. Later, Li Heng became the prince. King Shou will be robbed of the princess by his biological father in the future. .
The fight between Concubine Wu Hui and Li Ying ended in Li Heng taking the position of prince, and the fisherman got the advantage. But how could Concubine Wu Hui watch helplessly as the crown prince position she had fought so hard to grab fell to Li Heng? With Concubine Wu Hui here, it is impossible for her to watch Li Longji snatch his daughter-in-law?
"Concubine Wu Hui is about to die?" Li Changan's pupils shrank, and she looked at Shen Chu, "How is it possible? Concubine Wu Hui is very healthy and cannot die of illness. If she is not dying of illness, who has the power to kill her?"
Shen Chu shook his head: "It was a nightmare. Concubine Wu Hui often dreamed that the three kings were seeking her life. She was restless day and night. She died on December 7, twenty-five years ago, and she was named Queen Zhenshun."
"Huh?" Li Changan felt incredible.
"The person who ordered them to die was not Concubine Wu Hui. If there is a ghost asking for their lives, they should go to Li Longji, right?"
Li Changan pressed his forehead and felt a little headache.
What should I do if I suddenly learn that my thigh, which I haven’t warmed yet, will die next year?
Instead, embrace the future Tang Suzong's lap? It's inappropriate to think about it. The reason why Li Longji deposed the prince and killed the three kings was definitely not because Concubine Wu Hui cried to him, "The prince wants to murder our mother and son."
Since ancient times, emperors have deposed princes for a few reasons. Most of them are because they are too old and are afraid that their sons will steal the throne from them. In the Tang Dynasty, it happened that a son would steal his father's throne. Even that son was Li Li from decades ago. Longji himself, with himself first, Li Longji will only be more careful about his son.
It would be fine if she hugged Li Heng's thigh in the 14th year of Tianbao. It was only the 24th year of Kaiyuan. When Li Longji could still be in power for another 20 years, the prince was a hot potato, and whoever got involved would be unlucky.
She couldn't stand on Li Heng's side. Li Hengkong had the title of prince but he would definitely not be able to enjoy the prince's power under Li Longji. She had to find someone with a golden thigh who could help her through the development period of more than ten years.
...As for the future, if she still needs to hug Li Heng's thigh more than ten or twenty years later, she will be too useless.
Besides, the next Emperor of the Tang Dynasty may not be Li Heng.
