Chapter 784
Li Zhi was sick, but he lived a solid life for 56 years.
In the third year of Longshuo, Li Zhi was only 36 years old. He should have had a serious outbreak of wind disease in the fifth year of Xianqing. Once in a while, the pain will go away after a couple of days.
Prince Li Hong said he was 16 years old, but in fact he was only 15 years old. In another 20 years, he would only be 35 years old. At that age, he would be the emperor, neither old nor young. To achieve.
As for being an emperor, it is not good to be too young. Once you have been an emperor for a long time, you will easily get tired and faint.
There is no benefit in being too old. Being a prince for a long time can easily make people lose their fighting spirit and just hang around.
Therefore, neither Yunchu nor Wenrou had any plans to help Li Hong kill Li Zhi and let Li Hong ascend the throne in advance.
It is best to go with the flow.
The reason why Wu Mei became the empress is the product of countless coincidences. As long as Li Hong does not die early, it will be Li Hong who will take over the affairs of the seriously ill Li Zhi, not Wu Mei. As for the empress, to be honest, even Wu Mei's own dream never had this scene.
The reason why she desperately seized power was entirely because of the insecurity that Li Zhi brought her. In her opinion, Li Zhi was able to kill the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu for her. In the long years to come, it is inevitable that there will be another her. , to replace her next to Li Zhi.
She could see clearly that Li Zhi was an emperor who seemed affectionate but was actually ungrateful. Unless Li Hong ascended the throne and she became the empress dowager, as long as Li Zhi was still the emperor, she would not be safe for a moment.
In the era of political clarity, only heard of changing queens, but never heard of changing queen mothers.
Li Hong still has at least 20 years to prepare, and there is no need to form the Prince Six Rate now.
Li Zhi knew very well what happened to Li Chengqian's Prince Six Rates, and that was the source of the chaos.
After listening to the master's long speech, Li Hong scratched the back of his head and said, "So, I didn't understand what my father said?"
Yun Chu waved the book in his hand and said: "Your father was expecting you to refuse, but you excitedly agreed.
So, when Huang Ruyu appeared, it was logical that Lang Cheng refused to provide you with a war horse.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but it’s Taipusi and all the staff in the two departments of the driving department who object to providing you with war horses, not just Huang Ruyu and Lang Cheng.
By the way, you didn't really send someone to arrest Huang Ruyu's family in Sichuan, did you? "
Li Hong wanted to take the book in Yunchu's hand, but Yunchu knocked it away with a slap, and then he scratched his face and said, "I don't have the power to arrest fourth-rank officials. I'm just putting on airs. I didn't expect him to be fine." The reaction has made me unable to get up or down now, and I can't get down from the stage.
Master, what do you think I should do now? "
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Of course, release Huang Ruyu, Lang Cheng and the officials of these two departments from the prison as soon as possible. Not only must the etiquette be thoughtful, but also try to make amends to them, and say that they are scaring them."
Li Hongteng stood up and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, let the lonely king make amends for them, how shameless is the lonely king?"
Yun Chu bared his teeth and laughed loudly: "You are only 16 years old this year, and you still have the opportunity to pretend to be a child and do something wrong. If you are older, believe it or not, people will never give you a chance to admit your mistakes."
Li Hong walked around on the ground like a donkey pulling a mill, it seemed that he didn't intend to bow his head to Huang Ruyu and the others.
Yun Chu lay on the reclining chair again, while reading a book, he said casually: "You might save some face if you go now, but if it's later, I'm worried that someone will release Huang Ruyu and the others directly with His Majesty's edict. At that time, you will be even more shameless.
Also, you, a person who is destined to be an emperor in the future, what do you want to do, can't you learn from Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the wise emperors of Taizong? "
Li Hong nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but he still grabbed Yunchu's sleeve and said, "Master, come with me."
Yun Chu pushed Li Hong's hand away in disgust and said, "You don't have to be shameless, but I must."
"Why, if you want face, I can have no face?"
"Because you have no face, and there are thousands of miles of land, your master and I can live on this face, without face, there is nothing.
Besides, isn't there a shameless person by your side, take him there, and blame him for all mistakes, he will definitely not bite you back. "
Li Hong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll go to Xu Jingzong right away and discuss it with him."
Yunchu looked at Li Hong like a fool and said, "Aren't you worried that you won't be successful? Throwing things must be sudden and caught off guard. If you discuss it with an old fox like Xu Jingzong, you will definitely not be able to get rid of it." go out."
Hearing this, Li Hong turned around on the ground a few more times and said, "Forget it, if he doesn't take the blame, he will take it. Master, I'm afraid that Xu Jingzong will take the blame, and he won't help me in the future."
Yun Chu chuckled and said, "You can do it with confidence, and Lao Xu will be more loyal to you after taking the blame."
"Why is this?"
"Because you have shown the basic qualities of an emperor."
Li Hong ran away in a hurry.
Yu Xiurong, who had been hiding in the room for a long time, came out now, looked at Li Hong's back, and said to Yunchu thoughtfully: "This kid is not very smart, husband, you taught him such a thing?"
Yun Chu sighed and said, "At the age of 15, it is the time when I love to make decisions. I always think that I am old enough to handle everything, but I am still a child."
Yu Xiurong nodded and said, "My husband was much smarter than him when he was 15 years old."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I also did a lot of stupid things."
"for example?"
"Keeping your chastity until the day you get married is the big mistake I made. Calculate the time and save it for many years!"
"Ah, you dead man!"
Zhong Kui, who was wearing a webbed head with two wings on his bald head, happened to walk in, and asked doubtfully, "What hasn't been used for so many years?"
Yun Chu stretched his neck to look at Zhong Kui's strange appearance and said, "It's still bald looking at the spirit."
Zhong Kui immediately touched the webbed head shyly, and said with some embarrassment: "Ms. Ru said, I will look more powerful with a hat and a beard."
Yu Xiurong sighed on the side: "If you had woken up a year earlier, Miss Ru would have given birth to little Zhong Kui by this time."
Zhong Kui said boldly: "So that's what you were talking about, it's okay, it's okay, there is still a chance at this time next year."
While talking, seeing that Li Si had already prepared the stick in the distance, he strode towards Li Si and said, "Today, don't talk about your legs hurting or your butt hurting."
Looking at the back of Zhong Kui walking like a tiger, Yun Chu sighed and said, "You don't care about a strong man who sneaks into our back house if he has nothing to do."
Yu Xiurong said angrily: "In the back house of your house there is a man who climbs the wall and crawls into the bed when he has nothing to do, you don't care..."
Huang Ruyu sat quietly on the straw in the imperial prison, her face was full of distress, she refused the prince's request for horses, it was nothing, the [-] horses were all war horses, the prince wanted to give the prince six rates All turned into cavalry?
Sixteen guards and [-] percent of horses were stationed in Luoyang City, and there were [-] cavalrymen, the most elite of the Tang Dynasty.
If there were [-] more horses, just for fodder, Luoyang Ling's hair would be grey.
Not to mention, once the 6000 cavalry is formed, it is definitely not a matter of [-] men and [-] horses. The new department dedicated to serving these men and horses will definitely have no less than [-] people.
As for the food range of so many war horses and cavalry, it will definitely consume a fortune to barely support them, not to mention the consumption of armor, weapons, and war horse equipment.
That is to say, now that the Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, Luoyang can raise [-] cavalry, and Chang'an can raise [-] cavalry. Just this, the Taipu Temple, the Ministry of Driving, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households have been overwhelmed.
Another [-] cavalry came, and Huang Ruyu felt that he didn't need to be the minister of the imperial court.
Therefore, the prince is just a lion with his mouth wide open. What he really asked for should be five thousand horses.
However, five thousand war horses cannot be given to the crown prince. Once they are given, His Majesty will have no way to explain them.
It is absolutely correct to reject the prince's request. The problem is that after offending the prince, Huang's Erlang may not be an official.
Just as he lamented the injustice of fate and involved himself in the struggle between the crown prince and the emperor, he suddenly heard the crown prince's voice.
"It's all your fault. I said it's good to try and try, but you just want to intimidate him. Now you can't get down, what should you do?"
"Ah?" Xu Jingzong was shocked.
"You said that if I apologize to Huang Qing now, will he forgive the lonely king? After all, there is nothing wrong with him."
"Huh?" Xu Jingzong was confused for a moment.
"Let's say it first, you are the one who threatened the whole family, not the one who threatened the whole family alone. Besides, if the lonely king wants to take down the whole family of a fourth-rank official, the emperor may not be able to explain it to you.
When you see Huang Qing in a while, you go and explain to him, don't pull Gu Wang, the Gu Wang is now panicking with shame. "
"Oh, so that's the case, the old minister understands."
As the sound of boots sounded in the imperial prison, His Royal Highness seemed to stop talking, and in an instant a group of people came to the prison where Huang Ruyu was imprisoned.
A jailer opened the cell door, and Huang Ruyu saluted Li Hong who was looking up at the ceiling of the cell: "The old minister has seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
With an awkward smile on Li Hong's face, he waved his hand at Huang Ruyu as a gesture of respect.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Ruyu grabbed Xu Jingzong's neck and said: "Old thief, how dare you trick His Highness the Crown Prince into doing such absurd things, let's go, let's go, let me walk with you personally to Ziwei Palace in the capital of God, in front of His Majesty , make this matter clear.”
Xu Jingzong oops, oops and said twice: "Brother Jiechang, don't be angry, it's just a small intrigue. My brother should have seen through the way, so why bother me, it's great. I'm hosting a banquet at home tonight. It’s all about suppressing surprises for Jiechang.”
Huang Ruyu grabbed Xu Jingzong with one hand, and said to Prince Li Hong: "His Royal Highness, you must see clearly, don't listen to this old thief in the future.
If your highness wants horses, you just need to ask your majesty for a decree, the seals of the door, and the prime minister's approval, no matter how many there are, even if the number of horses in the driving department is insufficient, the old officials will take a group of colleagues to the Western Regions , go to the north, and capture enough wild horses for His Royal Highness..."
Li Hong bared his white teeth and said with an awkward smile: "The lonely king just wants to test it with two poles..."
