Chapter 413: Song and Dance on the Terrace (2)
Chapter 413: Song and Dance on the Tower (II)
According to Zhang Da'an's proposal, Li Xian did the first thing and went to visit Ming Chongyan in a high-profile manner.
There are many benefits. First of all, I showed my demeanor. It turned out that you were my man. Later, I betrayed me and surrendered to the queen. But when you were injured, I still came to see you. Wouldn't I beg you too?
Ming Chong was a villain, and Zhang Daan looked down on him. What's wrong with doing some despicable means for his master? The thing that could climb to the position of prime minister in the court is that he would not have any intrigue? It's just that Dai Zhide is really an honest person? No, it's just that everyone's personalities are destined to use different methods. But as a minister, he cannot be like the pink heads in the brothel, fickle. It turned out that he had defected to Li Zhi, but later he took the initiative to find Li Xian. Li Xian pulled him up and ran to Wu Zetian to bow down.
This is because the prince has not taken over, otherwise he can surrender to the prince.
But this villain is very amazing. Understanding medical skills is just right to cure the emperor's stubborn disease. If it cannot be cured, it may relieve the emperor's illness. This is not simple. Moreover, it is not only understands the meaning of the scriptures and understands the meaning of the scriptures, and then there will be capital to seek an official. Not only that, but also manages.
Zhang Daan didn’t know about the money left by Xu Jingzong and Li Xian didn’t know about it. He only saw Ming Chongyan decisively investing in salt drying and making a lot of money. This is not simple. What should I do not spend money? Those who win over ministers, hold a banquet, and give a gift have to spend money. Those who threaten to use it will also spend money.
This person is very smart. Take a look and tell me the situation. You should understand that I didn’t send someone to assassinate you. Let this person lose confidence in the queen and see if he can win over it.
If you still can't win over it, then that's fine. The queen must have suspicion in her visit, and she will push it with the flow and let the queen suppress this villain in the future.
When he arrived at the gate of Ming Chongyan's mansion, Ming Chongyan did not dare to neglect. At least on the table, Li Xian was still the most noble prince and was still in charge of the country. The sickly seeds came out. In fact, Li Xian wanted to ask: "Don't you know magic and fortune-telling? Why can't you calculate it when you were assassinated?"
Without asking, the common people were already curiously watching in the distance.
He clasped his fists and said, "Mingqing's injury has healed a little?"
"It's better, Your Highness invites you in quickly," he said, and he had to invite Li Xian in immediately, otherwise there would be many rumors.
In fact, when it comes to cunning and power struggle, this person is definitely not inferior to Zhang Da'an. He is just a little experienced and not well-off. He took shortcuts as soon as he got started. He had to use some unremarkable means to hinder his further development in his career.
But this person must not be underestimated.
After entering the mansion, Li Xian raised his hand and the servant put the gift box on the table. Li Xian said with a smile: "Mingqing, I am very worried when I heard that you were assassinated, but a lot of things happened, you know that, so I have been delayed until now and have not visited me."
"I dare not be your highness," Ming Chongyan said modestly. He said in his heart, you'd better not come to see me.
"Mingqing, can the real murderer be found?"
"not yet."
"This person is really abominable. The most hateful thing is that I heard some rumors in the market that I sent the assassin. Do you believe it?"
"How come this rumor is there? Why don't you know?" Ming Chongyan said in surprise with wide eyes.
I really don't know? I've been suspicious in my heart, but what should I do? The more I doubt it, the more I feel that the queen's methods are extraordinary and unfathomable. She is also slim and slim. She stabs him honestly. This personality is very similar to a certain species later. She defeats them and follows you as a dog. She treats them well and is ready to bite you at any time.
All you have to follow is the strong. What is the future behind you, the weak? Besides, the little balls I made have been spent so much effort and have not come in handy yet. This time, the queen was a little disgusted with herself, and this gave her more opportunities to get closer.
Speaking of this, there is nothing to talk about. Ming Chongyan insists on going to the end with his mother.
He said lightly: "Mingqing, my mother is determined to support my elder brother and inherit the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the future. I don't know that on that day, my elder brother will deal with you. Will my mother help you?"
"Your Highness, how can you say that? Who is me? A little minister who is lucky to know some medicine and witchcraft, and luckily it can help Your Majesty's stubborn disease. How dare you compare with the Queen and the Prince, kill me, kill me."
But I was thinking that this problem is a bit of a headache.
The emperor's body will be delayed for at most six or seven years. It cannot be solved at that time. To solve it, it must be solved within three or four years.
"That's it, then I won't bother you anymore," Li Xian cursed in his heart. You kid are so ignorant that you have murderous intentions again.
...
Another reason why Li Zhi returned to Luoyang so anxiously was that he wanted to take a look at the newly built Shangyang Palace.
This thought was relaxed in his mind for a long time. Luoyang is good, but the palace is located in the northwest corner, with a good terrain. It is located on a high place, overlooking the whole city, surrounded by water. The only bad thing is the west of the city, whether it is the west of the city or the corner of the west garden, which seems empty. Even the palace maids next to several palaces next to the west wall have been repeatedly reported to have seen ghosts.
At the end of March, Shangyang Palace was repaired and it was difficult to see it at that time. But many people said that it was beautiful and beautiful, which made him very suspicious. It was only 200,000 yuan in money, and it was a huge amount of money on a certain person, but what could he do with the huge palace?
This matter was in his mind.
Xiaowu was successfully escaped, so he burned a few incense sticks with the slogan of going to Shaolin Temple to earn incense and fulfill his wishes, making the monks of Shaolin Temple so busy that they didn’t know the east, south, west and north. Of course, although the monks were busy, they were still very happy. Just giving rewards was worth their busyness.
After staying for two or three days, I went to Luoyang with Wu Zetian.
First, I entered Shangyang Palace and looked at it, and I was very satisfied.
The area is large enough, with a radius of more than one mile, and there are many exquisite palaces, Guanfeng Hall, Linzhi Hall, and Xianju Hall. The names Wei Hongji are not dared to be named. They were named by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian while watching. In addition, there are many pools, corridors, water pavilions, pavilions, rockery, and stone roads. Even these small parts are built perfectly. For example, those pools, after the bottom of the pool is compacted, pebbles are laid on top, and the pond shores are made of Taihu stone (a thin rockery stone, not only Taihu, and this stone is produced in many places across the country). They are built layer by layer, with dog teeth intertwined and high and low. In addition, strange flowers and trees are planted widely, and they have not been moved for a long time. Once all of them are alive and the branches and leaves grow, you can imagine that this must be a fairyland on earth.
I was very happy to see it, so I held a banquet in Shangyang Palace to host all the ministers, Luoyang's team ministers, and some ministers brought with me.
A big banquet was held, and a prostitute from the court and palace were also allowed to perform singing and dancing.
The singing and dancing of the Tang Dynasty were different from other dynasties. The singing and dancing of the palace in other dynasties can be said to be the representative of Chinese songs and dances. When dancing, long sleeves, walking, waist, or fan, sword, ribbon and other props are added to express the charm of the dance. This charm can also be seen in traditional Chinese art, such as simple flower arrangements, and Chinese flower arrangements pay attention to composition and layout, like a beautiful landscape painting, or a flowing poem, not like the West, and pile up many flowers together, only lively, nor like Japanese flower arrangements, quiet and bleak, murderous intent.
Or the same is true for Chinese painting, with a weak sense of three-dimensionality, but what is emphasized is the taste, the spirit, the whole image is like poetry, and the artistic conception is distant, which makes people slowly reminisce.
Or the guqin is clanging, ancient and elegant.
It can be said that it is the most elegant and authentic thing in the world, only some Chinese art.
However, the Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts and valued martial arts. The royal family had many factors, but they loved the passionate and rushing Hu and Hu dance. For example, sword dance, which was very beautiful in later generations, and was like a trickle of water. But in the Tang Dynasty, it became "the inner world is like Yi shooting nine sunsets, and the delicate ones are as beautiful as the emperors flying dragons. Come like thunder and frightening, and stop like the clear light of the river and sea." For example, Hu Xuanwu, "a string song sounds up with both sleeves, and the snow flutters and turns to the drift. Turn left and right without feeling tired, and the thousands of turns are gone."
Anyway, if you don’t have physical strength, you are not a “martial arts master”, so you can’t do this job.
When singing and dancing were long, Li Zhi turned his head and said to Wei Hongji: "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is my duty, and your Majesty has given me a reward."
"I know what I know. During this period, you have to deal with the affairs of the Sinong Temple, dig Sanmen River, and run Dongdu Yingtian for the court. It's not easy."
"It is worth it to make Your Majesty happy no matter how hard you are."
"I still have a question in my mind. The construction of Shangyang Palace is so perfect, what is the cost..."
"The cost is enough, there are only a few items. Save no expenses, arrange it properly, reduce waste and greed, arrange it reasonably, and avoid waste of manpower and material resources. I also hold these items when I build Sanmen and rivers, so the project is huge, but the cost is not amazing."
"Okay, very good. Where can I come, I will reward Wei Qing with 500 gold."
A very reward.
The banquet was over and over. Li Zhi was very excited and did not live in the palace, so he lived in the Xianju Hall. Her husband was happy, and Wu Zetian was also happy. He hoped that Li Zhi would live for a long time, and I am afraid that Wu Zetian would be the most sincere.
But a few days later, another confidant eunuch, Liang Guangye, reported what happened in Chang'an to Wu Zetian.
In terms of power and strategy, Li Zhi was not as good as Wu Zetian, and in terms of ability to win over people, Li Zhi was not as good as Wu Zetian. However, Wu Zetian was a woman and was born in a shabby background. If it were the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Xiao family in Lanling, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Wei family in Jingzhao, and the Pei family in Hedong, even if it was the Du family in Jingzhao and the Wang family in Langya, it would be less difficult than her. Therefore, she was unable to gain power in the court for a long time.
But in the harem, there were many confidant people, and the several confidant eunuchs used were not like Zhang Guidong used by Li Zhi, who was very loyal to her.
"What's the expression on his face after this unfilial son left Ming Chongyan's mansion?"
"I'm very dissatisfied."
"Well, I'm not successful."
"About this, Ming Chongyan is a wise person."
"Mingzhi can be called, but this villain is also very heartful," Wu Zetian smiled slightly at this point. He said, "Don't worry about him, I'm waiting."
Wu Zetian has not made a decision yet. I want to see what news Li Shoucheng will bring when he comes back from Qinghai.
Before leaving, she gave Li Shoucheng a death order, not from words, but from the heart of the eldest son. If you don’t touch it, you will die in Qinghai and not come back! As for this second son, he is just a grasshopper in autumn, how high can he jump?
But after thinking about it, it was still a precaution. So I came up with a solution and decided to let my husband transfer Wei Yuanzhong and Di Renjie back to the court alone, and to restrain this unfilial son. But before I could figure out the attitude of the eldest son, I could only transfer one person back. Let's take a look at the movements.
