Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 870 Li Zhi confesses
Brigade of chariots and horses, move on.On the way, envoys from various countries came one after another.

Before Li Shimin died, when he was treating smallpox, the monarchs and ministers had discussed and sent envoys from various countries away from Chang'an. The envoys have been sent here, and more envoys have been sent. In terms of the number of countries and envoys, it has already surpassed Li Shimin's time as Tian Khan.

Li Zhi gave an order, saying that he wanted to show his martial arts to the world. Although he left in a hurry and the envoys from various countries were not ready, but only one day later, they all came to flatter them, and they were all there before it was dark. , a total of more than 40 countries and tribes, more than 500 envoys came, which can be called an unprecedented event.

After arriving at the designated resting place, a place with beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers, a large group of people set up camp to rest, while the envoys from various countries came together outside the emperor's imperial tent and waited in line to be received.

The imperial tent is very large, and there is absolutely no problem for a hundred or eighty people to sit inside. Although there are many envoys, the attendants do not follow them in, they just go in to pay a visit, so there is no room for them.But according to Ma Zhou's plan, the envoys were not allowed to meet the emperor collectively, but went in one by one.

This form of meeting is exquisite, and it can let foreign countries know their country's status in the heart of the emperor of the Central Empire.Whoever is closer will go to visit first, and whoever is farther away will go to visit later. The order is arranged in advance and must not be mistaken.

The envoys who went to meet first were naturally very happy, thinking that they were taken seriously; while the envoys in the back were thinking about what offended Datang, whether they would prepare more tributes when they came back next time, or bring the princess together. Give a few of them to please the emperor of Tang Dynasty... and so on.

Li Zhi sat in front of the screen in the middle of the imperial tent. On the screen was a painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. He was fully armored and sat upright. Changsun Wuji sat in front of him and spoke to the envoys of various countries for him.Li Zhi didn't have to do anything, just nodded and smiled, and said "reward".

But even with such a sitting method, Li Zhi was tired and impatient, and blamed Ma Zhou for making the ceremony too cumbersome, making him sweat profusely.But he was quite helpless, because if he didn’t plan this way, if he didn’t perform this kind of ceremony, he couldn’t show his "martial arts". For the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he didn’t need to go outside to ride a horse and shoot arrows, just sit in the tent wearing armor, He is heroic enough, and he can completely frighten the Quartet, making the messengers call him Heavenly Khan!

After meeting more than a dozen envoys, Li Zhi couldn't take it anymore, and when one envoy went out and the next one didn't come in, he said, "Uncle, take a rest, let me catch my breath, it's hot, and it's even hotter in the tent." , and I am wearing armor, and it is already too hot to breathe, if I don’t stop, I will have heat stroke!"

Changsun Wuji looked at the emperor with a shiny face, and thought: "You still say you are tired, am I not tired? I am more tired than you!" But he also knew that if this continues, the emperor will definitely be tired. It's no good, besides the head is sweating, and the face is flushed with heat, even if I can continue to meet him, it will be a bit embarrassing to the emperor of the heaven.

Changsun Wuji said: "The old minister just wanted to ask the emperor if he would like to take a rest. Your majesty, why don't you ask them to bring some iced sour plum soup, we must have brought a lot of ice."

Li Zhi said: "Ice? Of course I brought it with me. I have a lot of it in my car. Otherwise, I would be bored to death if I was traveling by car in this hot weather. There are also ice cubes in the tent behind. Let... Let Chunhua Bring some!"

Li Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally told about "Yang Chunhua".Regarding Yang Chunhua's identity, he had discussed it with Wu Meiniang in the past few days, and he definitely couldn't hide it, so it's better to keep it small so as not to attract the attention of Changsun Wuji.How to say this matter, Wu Meiniang made it up for Li Zhi, just follow the words.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and said, "Chunhua? But that Yang Yunu? I heard that she was summoned to the palace by the empress. She used to be a nun from Ganye Temple, but is it true?"

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and said: "It's true, there is no need to hide this matter from uncle." He waved his hand, and the little eunuchs and imperial troops in the tent immediately withdrew, leaving only a group of important officials, Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuan Ling is there, and Li Ji and other generals are also there.

Li Zhi waited for the idlers to retreat, and then continued: "Yang Chunhua used to be a Han girl living in Turkic, and married a Turkic khan..."

Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji immediately interrupted, saying: "My dear friends, it's quite uncomfortable to stay in the tent for a long time, why don't you take this opportunity to go out for a breather, it's convenient, come in later , we still have important things to do, we need to sit down, and we probably won’t be able to leave until quite late.”

He spoke very politely, and he was very considerate of the important ministers. In fact, he wanted them to avoid it. When the emperor talked about women's affairs, it was all right for him as an uncle to listen, but if outsiders heard it, it would be inappropriate.

Of course, the important ministers were savvy, and immediately got up, got out of the big tent, and went to loosen their muscles and bones, but what Li Zhi didn't finish just now also surprised them a lot. She is the wife of King Khan, and she has a lot of background!But why would the emperor want such a woman?This kind of thing is not allowed to be heard, and everyone should not ask, let alone discuss it!

When only Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi were left in the account, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, it's better not to talk about your harem concubines in front of foreign ministers, these things are always easy to talk about. "

Li Zhi sighed, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm not snatching a married woman. Even if Chunhua married someone, I'm not ashamed to say it. Didn't my father also have such a concubine?"

Li Shimin also took in other people's wives. This kind of thing is not a shame for the Tang royal family who was heavily influenced by Hu Feng.Of course, no one dares to laugh at such a thing.

Changsun Wuji said: "It's just a mere girl, what the old minister cares about is not this, but how did you raise Su Jie for her?"

Li Zhi sighed, and said: "It's a long story, and we have to start from the fact that she is a mere woman. That little Turkic Khan died. It is estimated that Wang Ping'an killed him during his expedition. I can't tell." Chunhua returned to the Central Plains, because she had no source of income, so by chance, she entered the Ganye Temple as a nun."

Changsun Wuji didn't express his opinion, but just listened silently.

Li Zhi said again: "When the Queen went to Ganye Temple, she just happened to find her. Maybe she feels that she is more obedient and obedient. People who have suffered a lot are more submissive. So she was made a substitute for Li Buddha, and later let her She entered the palace and practiced things in Gengyou Hall."

The things he said were not entirely true, but they were things that could not be verified. Changsun Wuji would neither ask Queen Wang, nor would he go to Turkic or Ganye Temple to ask.For Changsun Wuji, the background of a little girl is very important before she enters the palace, but once she enters the palace and the raw rice is cooked, it is no longer important, or it is not necessary Let him take the trouble to check. "Yang Chunhua" is not the late emperor's concubine, and he has no morals to choose from, so why should he worry about it!
Changsun Wuji never expected that his honest nephew would tell such a big lie in front of him.He didn't care much about Yang Chunhua's origin, but the focus of his concern was on the princes.

Changsun Wuji laughed, and said: "In the end, the emperor accidentally ran into this little nun in the quieter hall, right? It was the accident arranged by Queen Wang, right? It was her at that time. When you fought to the death with Concubine Xiao Shu, right?"

Li Zhi gasped, and said, "Uncle already knows about this? Who told it? No one in the palace will gossip about it, right?"

Changsun Wuji thought to himself: "I don't need to listen to others, don't I know how to guess for myself! Your uncle and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"

Changsun Wuji said: "No one dares to talk about this matter. It is the old minister's guess. The emperor will not say anything about it, but the old minister can still guess. It must be that after Yang Chunhua entered the palace, the Queen found that this woman is useless , and Concubine Xiao Shu is gone. She originally thought that Yang Chunhua didn't need to pay attention to her anymore, but she didn't want the emperor to like her, so she entrusted Su Jie to her upbringing. As a result, she became a thorn in the eyes of the queen, and then lost her temper , blame her, right?"

Li Zhi snorted again, and said: "I don't know about this, Chunhua doesn't tell me these things, and I'm not in the mood to ask the queen, she's a little irritable recently, I try to avoid it as much as possible."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "The affairs of the prince have always been difficult matters in all dynasties. The emperor doesn't have to worry about it. The veterans will handle it. You just need to appease the queen so that she doesn't do extreme things. , making the palace restless."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Why don't you ask Chunhua to bring some ice cubes, so that Uncle can take a look at her?"

Changsun Wuji said hesitantly: "What does the old minister see her doing? Well, that's fine, let her bring some ice, anyway, whoever brings it in is not the one!"

While talking, he called out of the tent, and a forbidden soldier came in.After Changsun Wuji gave some instructions, the forbidden army immediately went out to find Wu Meiniang.

At this time Wu Meiniang was kneeling in her tent, and sitting opposite her was Queen Wang.This time, Queen Wang didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but to speak soft words. She wanted to hold Wu Meiniang and delay the matter, lest the little nun blow pillow wind in front of the emperor and anger the emperor.Now she is outside Chang'an, if something happens, she doesn't even have a helper, so she dare not fight head-on with the little nun.

The little nun is barefoot now, so naturally she is not afraid of wearing shoes, but the queen has shoes on her feet, so she has to be afraid, if it is stepped on and gets dirty, it will be so uncomfortable!

Queen Wang said: "Sister, my sister was confused for a moment today and scolded you, you must not take it to your heart. We were good sisters before, and we will be good sisters again in the future. Do you agree?"
