Chapter 34 The Emperor's Father Returns to Xijing
Speaking of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is naturally a thousand-year-old ancient city, Chang'an, the ancient capital that has seen all the vicissitudes of China.
In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was named Xijing, and compared with it, Luoyang was called Dongdu.
Chang'an is also a metropolis with rich flowers and rich merchants. However, the lazy emperor Li Xian likes to stay in Luoyang City, just like his mother Wu Meiniang.
So much so that during the era of Wu Zetian and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty, Chang'an felt quite as if it was undermined by Luoyang.
Luoyang became the long-lasting residence of the royal family, while Chang'an became a place to visit from time to time.
But the capital is still the capital.
Even if Li Xian doesn't want to stay, he will go back and take a look from time to time.
Now it’s time for the autumn festival. As the emperor of the dynasty, one of its responsibilities is to preside over the clan’s memorial ceremony.
Just like the famous Emperor Wanli, who had not attended court for more than ten years, had to preside over a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, Emperor Li Xian was not as lazy as him. He had a firm attitude on the issue of sacrifice.
Go, you must go.
Moreover, he had to take his beloved Empress Wei with him and let Empress Wei take on the position of assisting the ritual.
As for his precious son, Prince Li Chongjun, he was responsible for guarding Luoyang and there was no need to follow him.
Li Jun was so happy that this arrangement was simply perfect, and it was the wisest choice that Li Xian had made at the moment.
Go, go!
Chang'an has beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery. After the sacrifice, you can rest for a while. You can stay as long as you want, and the later you come back, the better.
But Li Xian's decision touched the fragile nerves of the ministers in the court.
How can there be such a truth in the world? The emperor is almost the same for offering sacrifices and the prince to follow him. How can the queen follow him?
Huan Yanfan, the number one dead-hard actor, is still inspecting five prefectures in Hebei. The water has recently retreated and it is time to deal with the aftermath.
He couldn't get involved in the disputes in the court.
But after Huan Yanfan left, there were later generations.
An old man who was older than him stood up.
Zhang Jianzhi, who is over 80 years old, has something to say when walking.
What are you doing? Don’t look down on Mr. Zhang. Your legs and feet have not worked well in the past two years.
I have to use a stick to go to court.
But his good voice was not wasted at all.
When arguing in the court, there were ups and downs and unyielding words. The rhythm was like a small machine gun.
One thing said was that Dangdangdang, and it was shot at all those who had ulterior motives.
After all, Zhang Jianzhi is older and speaks in a very literary way. Li Jun stood beside him, with his mouth wide open. After listening for a long time, he understood and digested his words.
The main point is: worshiping ancestral temples is an imperial royal family, and a supreme power, which has always been unique to the emperor.
How could the queen stand in front of the ancestral temple to commemorate the ancestors of Li Tang?
Even if you go, you can only stand in front of the imperial concubine and preside over the women's ceremony. You must not stand beside the emperor, and don't even think about it.
Emperor, if you dare to do this, I will die in front of you!
Anyway, I am over 80 years old. I have never seen any strong winds and waves in my life. I have enough money, so you can do it yourself!
Through watching this incident throughout, Li Jun really felt that the listed father Li Xian was really not a bad person.
But it's just too confused and too weak.
Sometimes, the lethality of a weak and dull good person is much greater than that of a stubborn and decisive bad person.
Li Xian, who was sitting on the throne, was in a dilemma now.
Zhang Jianzhi, who was in his 80s, earnestly stopped his affection.
The eyes of Queen Wei, who was hiding in the pearl curtain behind him, always wanted to come to the front desk, were as sharp as a knife, and even the sword wanted his life.
This is really impossible to live. Whoever you want to treat this emperor can take it?
I just want to live well, okay?
Li Xian thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't stand the suppression of Queen Wei's gaze and smiled and said, "Shangshu Zhang, what you said is very much. But the sacrificial matter is my family matter in the end. The queen has been with me for many years and has worked hard and made great contributions. I think it is not wrong to let her participate in the sacrificial matter."
Zhang Jianzhi's urgent snot bubbles were about to come out. Li Jun fully understood his mood. I have lived for two lifetimes and have never seen such a soft boy like this. It is also a wonder of ancient and modern times!
I saw Zhang Jianzhi knocking on the bluestone bricks of Qianyuan Palace with his crutches.
The tuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-k
Is there any national law in the Tang Dynasty? Is there any country and country?
"Your Majesty, the sacrifices are the foundation of the country, how can it be easily shaken? If this continues, I am afraid, I am afraid..."
He couldn't continue talking anymore. It was not that he didn't dare, but he really couldn't bear it.
I still remember the scene when he and Huan Yanfan and five old ministers followed each other and took Li Xian to the throne during the Shenlong coup.
How magnificent it is.
At that time, all the people in the territory were excited about the return of the country to the Li family.
In just one year, why did things fall to this point?
These old ministers never expected the cowardly Li Xian to become a wise ruler like his grandfather Li Shimin.
But he can't be so confused!
When Zhang Jianzhi looked back on his life, he often sighed, did he really see the wrong person at the beginning?
Are there any regret medicines sold now?
At this time, Empress Wei, who had been monitoring the development of the situation behind, whispered to Li Xian.
Li Xian was like a big fool, nodded a few times and then told his wife's idea.
"Joongjun."
"The son is here."
Li Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself that it was not a good sign.
"It would be too hard to let you guard Luoyang alone. Why not let the Minister of War Zong Chuke stay and help you."
Li Jun was squirting out his old blood. Queen Wei spared no effort to install her own people.
Stop saying anything, this must be another trick Wu Sansi taught her.
Since the last Huan Yanfan case, Wu Sansi has suffered a major setback.
Unexpectedly, Li Jun rushed to Li Xian the next day and fooled him into issuing an imperial edict, asking Wu Sansi to compensate Huan Yanfan for his losses.
Wu Sansi has been cursing since receiving the order.
Your sister, you're losing money.
Just like him, Huan Yanfan, the poor family, there is something valuable that needs to be compensated!
However, he is not the emperor yet, and the emperor is a fool Li Xian. His Majesty has his life, so he can only execute it.
After all the calculations, I just can’t afford to pay for ten gold ingots, just treat it as a beggar!
Since he was bleeding, Wu Sansi has been so angry that his liver pain that he simply stopped going to court.
What made Li Jun curious was that Wu Sansi had not yet parted with Zong Chuke!
He actually recommended him out, stayed by his side, and was responsible for monitoring.
Could it be that these two people are stronger than gold and indestructible?
It is still because Wu Sansi has no capable people around him. Even if he hates him, he can only use him first.
Li Jun naturally couldn't guess what the two were thinking.
