"Oh?" Li Zhi was surprised, "Why do you think you have figured out something in a blink of an eye?" ”

Taiping Zhengse said: "It is important to accompany my father for a while longer, but with his way of thinking, the reluctance of family affection is far worse than the re-rise of the surname Li in the future!" I will take advantage of the limited time before my brother ascends the throne to seize the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Concubine Dou, and plan to pull her to Cuiwei Temple for a while! ”

Concubine Dou Guifei is the concubine who was canonized after Li Dan ascended the throne, Li Longji's biological mother, and one of the targets that Li Zhi wanted to rescue in addition to Pei Yan.

Eight years after this woman, because the household maid Tuan'er falsely accused her and the imperial concubine Liu of cursing Wu Zetian with disgust with witches, the imperial concubine Liu and Dou met Emperor Zetian in the Jiayu Palace, and after retiring, they were killed at the same time, and even people have not been able to find where their bodies are.

Hearing Taiping say this, he immediately made a decision in his heart, and he had already considered that if Taiping rescued this woman in time, he would be able to establish an unbreakable relationship with Li Dan and Li Longji.

Xingqing Palace is one of the three major areas of Chang'an City, called "Nannei" The prince Li Dan currently lives there, and it is also the residence of Li Longji when he later became a vassal king, and it is also the political center of Dongtu in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao era after he became Xuanzong, and it is also the place where he and his concubine Yang Yuhuan lived for a long time.

The earliest warehouse of Zhengqing Wenqitang is separated from Xingqing Palace by a wall, and the stores in the East Market and West City are not far from it, and Li Zhi still has some feelings there.

"So good! Li Dan will leave for two days, you might as well meet him before he leaves and ask some questions about Dou Guifei's pregnancy. Li Zhi said what he thought.

"What do you think is the purpose for Aya to tell the Imperial Brother about us?" Taiping asked, leaning on him.

Feeling the soft pressure on his chest, Li Zhi smiled and said: "The emperor is far more thoughtful than us, don't you feel that Li Dan will be the best shield for Empress Wu to arrange your second marriage?" ”

Taiping's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed, "So what? How could the Queen Mother let him arrange for me? Didn't it block her intentions? ”

"Political marriage, the martial queen is the most likely to marry you to the martial family, whether you admit her purpose or ignore it, in short, she really intends to place your future on you! But aside from other surnames other than the Li family, there are also people who can not be ignored by her. ”

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Taiping, "Aren't you?" Although you also belong to the family surnamed Li, your existence is far more than that of the martial family, if the queen mother can have a clear understanding, she will not fail to recognize this! ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "Don't be kidding, I want to have children with you openly, but what about my five wives?" Your identity is small, and you don't want the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to laugh off their big teeth? ”

"So what to do? I don't want to marry again! Well? The situation is not quite right, as if I have left the Xue family now. ”

Li Zhi couldn't hold back a smile, frowned and said: "I want to ask your imperial brother to help you hold a fake marriage, but I don't know what to do at the moment, except for the martial family, I really can't think of that surname can be replaced!" ”

Taiping's little hand went to soothe the frowning between his eyebrows in distress, "We're not in a hurry, there is a royal brother, at least there are some eyebrows, don't you?" When the time comes, I'll just walk away and hide for a while. ”

"I have to think like this for the time being! But what is the summer resort of Cuiwei Temple you are talking about? I understand this reason, but it's not enough to let Empress Wu let you go for this reason, right? ”

Taiping smiled: "That's because Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Basin, the air circulation in summer is not smooth, and it is easier to form sultry weather. My mother was friendly with her when she was young, and my aunt was my mother-in-law, so the queen mother would not object! ”

Li Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, Wu Zetian was called into the palace by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty when he was fourteen years old, and was named a five-grade talent, given the name Wu Mei, and became one of his concubines.

This period of history, whether it is surnamed Li or Wu, is taboo, and no one dares to tell it.

As for the sultry weather in Chang'an that Taiping talked about, it was one of the most profound things that Li Zhi felt after his rebirth, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The hot summer in Chang'an City, ordinary people are really unbearable, when you go to Cuiwei Temple, I will go to the mountain to find you secretly!" ”

In Chang'an City, the only place to escape the summer heat wave is in the suburbs and mountainous areas, especially at that time, people's daily clothing is generally made of cotton, linen or animal skin, and in the summer, they will also change into summer clothes made of arrowroot, but because it is not formal clothing, they are not allowed to wear it out.

Otherwise, although the fiber of this summer dress is coarser than cotton, it is light and breathable, and it is very cool to wear it in the summer and go out, and the breeze will pass by.

In order to take care of the lighting, the ancient buildings often sat north and faced south, but in the hot summer, the scorching sunlight shines through the doors and windows of the south, which undoubtedly makes people even more annoying.

In order to escape the heat, many people will open another window in the shade of the north side of the room, which can not only let in the wind, but also have no sunlight, if you plant a clump of green bamboo outside the window, it becomes an excellent location to enjoy the shade.

In addition to housing, most of the wealthy families in Chang'an have their own gardens, and as long as they plant a small forest, they can borrow shade to enjoy the shade.

In the Tang Dynasty, the children of the rich families in Chang'an City planted painting pillars in the forest pavilion every summer, and used the brocade knot as a pergola.

There are seats under the shed, and the famous prostitutes of Chang'an are called to sit, and they are invited to extend the invitation for the summer vacation. This summer party is probably the prototype of the current summer party.

The first gift Li Zhi received after his rebirth was a jade mat given to him by Qingqi, sleeping on it was like sleeping on cold dragon scales, not only was it no longer hot, but even a little cold.

In the imagination of the Tang people, dragon scales are the coldest thing in the world, used to make fans or mats, the effect of avoiding the heat is excellent, but it is very rare, only the rich and noble are qualified to use, so this kind of mat is also called dragon scale mat.

"You don't have to go secretly, I want to find a way to secretly dispose of a suite on the mountain, you have to accompany me more!" The peace was on him, and his voice was like a murmur.

"Xue Shao won't go back with you?" Li Zhi asked.

"Even if he goes, he will only show off his treasures in the places where the sons of various families gather. I even suspect that even if I slept next door to you next to him, he wouldn't be aware of it, that man's mind is very strange, he never pays attention to everything that is alive, only has a preference for antiques, an ancient painting, he can stand there and look at it for two hours! Taiping was dissatisfied with the corner of the brocade quilt.

"Your idea is a little evil, stealing his woman, and thinking about it in front of him?"

"You don't call this stealing, not to mention I can't blame you, I took the initiative to come to the door, because I have no relationship with him for a long time! Cuiwei Temple summer vacation, is the Xue family tradition, I have been married for more than a year and a half, experienced two hot summers, he has not been with me once! ”

What she said was a major feature of the summer in Chang'an City at that time, the cool gear was fully purchased, and she still felt that the heat was unbearable, so she needed to consider escaping from home and going to a cooler place to escape the heat.

Officials and civilians would take refuge from the heat on the higher altitudes and densely vegetated mountains, and the temples in the mountains became popular summer spots.

For example, the Ming Wang's Mansion is to go to the East Mountains, Chang'an is surrounded by mountains, and naturally there are many summer resorts in addition to this, where the powerful families or literati often go to the summer resort.

If you think that the suburbs in the mountains are far away, you can choose the Cuiwei Temple or Ci'en Temple in the south of Chang'an City, Cuiwei Temple is not the exclusive residence of Buddhism, but there is another veritable Taoist temple, the Taoist palace temple is called "view" and not called "temple" or "temple", and the Taoist tradition of watching the sky at night may have the most direct connection.

Cuiwei Temple is just the inherent name of Chang'an City, and in the corner of the mountain behind it, there is a Cui Micro, which is the place where the mother-in-law of Taiping often goes, because the former is the palace of Tang Taizong, and the Cui Micro is crowned with the word Cuiwei, which is also catered to the royal family.

Li Zhi has been to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, although the terrain is not high, but close to the Qujiang River, the temple is full of ancient pine and bamboo, pine wind and bamboo rhyme everywhere, it can wash away the heat.

In addition, there is a tower of Ci'en Temple towering in the temple, visitors can not only borrow the shade of the tower to enjoy the shade, but also can climb to the top of the tower to bathe in the wind, which is the most suitable place to escape the summer in Chang'an City in addition to the imperial palace.

The Tang people were keen to go to the monasteries to escape the heat, in addition to the high altitude of the mountain temples and the lush vegetation in the temples, but also because Buddhism emphasizes the emptiness of the four major areas, encouraging people to regard the pain of the flesh as nothing.

At that time, people thought that if they could practice according to the ideals of Buddhism and achieve peace of mind, they would naturally be able to live up to the heat.

According to this time, the two planned for a long time, including how to lobby Li Dan in advance, and then invite Dou Guifei to go up the mountain, Taiping knew in his heart that if Li Zhi's guidance was in line with his imagination, his future status in the palace would be no less than that of the queen mother.

If Li Dan's third son can ascend the throne and sit in the palace in the future, she only needs to love and care for that child from childhood to adulthood, and at the same time can avoid most of the palace battles, there is no doubt that Li Zhi pointed out the easiest way to development for her.

After hearing Taiping's emotion, Li Zhi just laughed, this Li Lingyue is very smart, and she will always take advantage of your lack of investigation for a while, so she will turn around and ask the questions in her heart.

Regarding the trend of the Tang Dynasty, there are some things he can't say at all, because those involve many people or things that are very cumbersome, he knows the loopholes that must be lost if he says more, so he has to pretend to be a superior posture every time, but he doesn't want to make Princess Taiping worship him even more because of this.

When they returned to Zhengqing Wenqi Hall, it was already evening, so the two of them simply opened a room in the Gongdelin Restaurant, and instructed the guys in the restaurant to go to the store dozens of steps away to greet the people who left him to come over for dinner.

The two tossed several times, and Li Zhi originally thought that Taiping would be very tired, but he was still alive and well until this time.

Before everyone came, Taiping asked him for Yishou Dan, saying that it was a gift for Princess Chengyang.

Li Zhi took it out and handed her a few more Zhuyan Pills that had been reformed by Yishou Dan, "I can refine these Zhuyan Pills by myself at present, and you will use them to gather your own forces in the future, but who needs to communicate with me, this thing is very expensive, and it is not easy to refine, I don't want it to fall into the hands of anyone in the martial arts!" ”

Taiping: "I understand these truths, I will give the first one to Concubine Dou, if the imperial brother can ascend the throne, this person is likely to be only ranked after Queen Liu." ”

Empress Liu is the aforementioned imperial concubine Liu, she and Concubine Hede Dou were secretly killed by Wu Zetian, hearing this, Li Zhi immediately paid attention to it: "Send one more, it is said that the relationship between Liu and Dou is very good, as soon as they say that they are like sisters, you are Li Dan's sister, haven't you heard of this?" ”

Taiping shook his head, "Even if it is the prince's door, I rarely come to the door, not because I don't want to, but because my mother deliberately asked me not to have too much contact with his family!" ”

Li Zhi sighed, this martial queen's defensive heart is really good, and such a small interpersonal relationship between the royal family can also be linked to her future road to hegemony.

、

Liu is the future Empress of Suming, and he can't reveal too much to Taiping, so he can only use this method to maintain the relationship between her and the future two in advance.

He has great confidence in this, Taiping only took a Zhuyan Pill, and now he is in his early twenties, as pure and tender as fifteen or sixteen years old, and the Liu family and the Dou family are not regarded as treasures.
