Guan Ming was unable to come in the evening yesterday because of the affairs of the imperial court.

Today, I came with my grandson Qinxin, and as early as when I went to Zhengqing Wenqitang to pick her up, I already knew that my sister had finally gotten what she wanted.

Recently, the old father Guan Lugong has been worried about Yiyi's feelings.

At the age of twenty, if you don't marry and gossip, Guan Lu Gonggui is the teacher of the prince Li Xian, and he is also a general under Taizong Li Shimin, a famous general who founded the country, and he cannot be suspected of it for no reason.

The whole family knows about Yiyi's emotional sustenance, but there are many Mrs. Li, it is one thing to look down on her, and it is not very decent to be a small person after all, although Li Zhi himself is worthy of trust.

But with the appearance of Princess Afifa, the Guan family, who originally had three points of hope, could no longer hold their breath.

Gain Afifa's status is as noble as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely not agree to Yiyi joining it again.

Moreover, Li Zhi's first-class loyalty and righteousness king was then issued, and he stepped into the ranks of the ten kings in one step, and he would not be easily criticized, so Yiyi would no longer have any hope of getting started.

Even if Li Zhi has an excellent relationship with the Guan family, it is not easy for Lu Gong to take the initiative to mention this kind of matter.

So the old man seemed to have fallen into demons during this time, fidgeting, and behaving impermanently, which made Guan Ming, who was most concerned about his future marriage, unable to lift his emotions and had no intention of worrying.

But he didn't want to be bright, Li Zhi's wives suddenly put forward the intention of acceptance, and after hearing the news of his sister, Sun Qinxin sent someone to Guan Ming to report the good news.

Strangely, after the surprise, Guan Ming was faintly disappointed.

The wedding custom in the Tang Dynasty was that a man could only get married once, and the next few rooms were much more casual, and even decent wedding banquets would be omitted.

Originally, the father and son of the Guan family didn't think about it so much, after all, it was okay to be recognized by Li Zhi Yiyi, and as for the name, it was secondary.

But not only Guan Lugong's identity is respected, Guan Ming is also Shang Shuling, Yiyi is still the princess title from the second grade, at this time, for the status and treatment of his sister, Guan Ming felt aggrieved.

It's just that he ignored one point, Li Zhi is currently an important minister, and he holds the Shang Fang sword, and his power and status are far inferior to the prince, but not much worse than the prince.

Coupled with Li Zhi's other status as a cultivator, it is of great significance that Yi Yi can actually marry him.

In fact, Guan Ming's expression, don't say Li Zhi, even Qingqi, Yuran and others can also see it.

When a few people find an opportunity to discuss, they can deduce the cause and effect.

Qingqi smiled and told Li Zhi that it would be good to leave this matter to the king of Linhuai, so later, the king of Linhuai came again.

She is Mrs. Li Zhida, and the king of Linhuai County is Qingqi's father, for the sake of her sister, the Guan family does not dare to stop him for guidance.

The king of Linhuai County proposed to the housekeeper, the meaning is not trivial, and the meaning is heavier than that of the Ming Palace.

Li Zhi didn't have the energy to pay attention to these, because he had long been tethered by a group of people from Cliff Mountain, because in that group of people, there was Qingqi's uncle Guo Yan.

Guo Yan has been in Chang'an City for more than a month because of the military-industrial cooperation, because the senior craftsmen he brought with him need to stay in front of the steelmaking furnace on the cliff to learn.

In order to ensure that the process formula would not be leaked, he was personally stationed in Chang'an until the craftsmen returned after completing their studies.

However, in the future, the cooperation between the two sides will focus on the provision of relevant patterns of Li Zhi, such as heavy armored vehicles, crossbows, and various saddles and stirrups related to steel cavalry configurations.

The prospects for their cooperation are very broad, just as Li Zhi said, just the horse lance, if the government can purchase a large number of them, the military industry departments under their respective names will not have to worry about food and clothing.

Moreover, the plan that Li Zhi helped them make is very long-term, and even the Tang Dao that is currently hot is just a practice.

It can be seen that the future development is indefinite, so the exchanges between the two sides are very frank and quite positive, which will stop Li Zhi and tell him in detail through his own mouth.

Hearing about Li Zhi's return this time, the people brought by Buzhigude are the most professional in their army.

But those who are chosen, their families are closely guarded, and they have the posture to do a good job.

A little later, Li Ying and Li Yu came, the former is the general of the Right Xiaowei, and the latter is his cousin, the leader of the forbidden guard, the right Wuhou.

followed by Taiwei Yu and his party, and there was Zhang Xu, a temporary worker from Hanlin Garden.

Yu Taiwei's eldest disciple Zi Yi Zi Handian, as soon as he saw Li Zhi, he shouted for tea, and the source naturally came from the king of Linhuai County, who gave Li Zhi to him the sparrow tongue mountain tea, which was very much shown off in the Hanlin Academy.

Also coming was Fang Yu Fang Huaitan, a senior old Hanlin of the same era as Yu Taiwei, a pure literati who had been obsessed with the traditional meaning of words all his life, and the purpose of his visit was to Yan Yan.

He didn't dare to be greedy, it was collected for the emperor, and there are very few authentic Yan inkstones, so he was satisfied to see it.

However, Taiwei Yu did not make a clear request, he knew that the scarcity of Bird's Tongue Camellia was very satisfying, and it was extremely satisfying to be able to taste a pot.

Li Zhi planned to show off the copper kettle and shock it, and make a name for the tea house that was about to open, but he still arranged everyone at the banquet first.

After the group of people made good arrangements, Li Ying pulled him aside for a secret talk.

As the three leaders of the internal guard around the emperor, the reason why this person did not go to Luoyang with him was that he was left to take care of the inner courtyard of the palace, and he wanted to come to Luoyang There was news.

Sure enough, he said: "There is a secret report from Luoyang, in Shangyang Palace and Zichen Palace, there are very few military forces surnamed Li, and the only few are also people from the prince's side. The saint currently lives in Shangyang Palace, and there are people monitoring the surrounding area for twelve hours a day, including the number of coughs and the time interval, and someone will report it as soon as possible! ”

Li Zhi said, "This is inevitable, but the Holy One will not be ignorant, why let it be so arrogant? ”

"The saint has been pretending, and he looks terminally ill every day, and he definitely won't alarm the other party because of this."

"There must be something else important, right?"

"After returning from Fengtai Mountain in the middle of the year, Wu Hou repeatedly persuaded the saint to go up to seal Zhongyue, and the saint used the excuse that the illness was getting worse, and he was always prevaricating. He expected that the Empress Wu would be so active in instigating himself, and he was afraid that there would be some conspiracy, so he specially ordered me to tell you and see if there was a way to find out! ”

Feng Taishan is the most pompous act of an emperor, its solemn ostentation, its religious meaning is profound, far above other ceremonies, the ceremony is grand, the cost is huge.

However, for the emperor's most devout act to the gods, the lords and virtuous kings of the past dynasties mostly followed this kind of ceremony.

There is a mystical righteousness, the decree of the Holy Spirit, so that the kings of the world and the gods of the universe can be connected and communicated.

Furthermore, the emperor's Feng Taishan can also mean that the emperor is virtuous and worthy of revering the god of heaven.

In the festival, the emperor told God that the four seas were peaceful and all the people were happy, and he blessed God and thanked him.

Empress Wu once remembered that when she was a girl, she served Emperor Taizong and saw the grand ceremony of sealing the mountain, and she loved it very much, not because of the grandeur of the ceremony, but because of the honor and dignity of the emperor and the magnificence of the ceremony.

In fact, the trip to seal the mountain was a long and slow march of the imperial court and hundreds of officials, passing through villages, towns, cities and fields, and the regular track of the imperial court administration was disordered, and the places along the way were eroded, which was really tantamount to the entire imperial court's trek on a long march.

Thousands of people, horses and vehicles, and the guards of the princes and nobles, not to mention the movement of the people, the roads and bridges along the way must be repaired and strong in advance to enable the heavy load of the vehicles.

Where they stayed all the way, the magistrate had to prepare a room for the princes, military generals, their dependents, and attachés, which made the magistrate scramble and make it difficult to rest day and night.

For the magistrates, the minor officials who offended the princes and nobles should be in trouble.

Feng Tai Tai is different from sacrificing heaven and earth, because the nature of Feng Tai Tai is extremely grand, and not every emperor can hold it.

If it is not for the peace of the country, the abundance of the people, or the prosperity of the founding of the country, or the celebration of expanding the territory and defeating the enemy, the emperor has no reason to hold such a ceremony as Feng Taishan.

This kind of ceremony should not be held lightly, and there is no need to say it explicitly, and women and children know it.

His Majesty Gaozu, the father of Taizong, was the founder of the Tang Dynasty, although he was invited by the ministers, he was still ashamed of his virtue and did not dare to trespass, because the founding of the Tang Dynasty relied on Taizong's hard work.

Li Zhi asked: "There may be a conspiracy, but it will never be blatant, if you want to borrow the saint to get on the carriage and horses, it is true to promote the attack of disease!" ”

Not only is Li Zhi familiar with the historical aftermath, Gaozong was destined to be short, and doing something on Mount Tai will leave a conspiracy that will eventually be exposed, and even if Empress Wu ascends the throne and sits in the palace, it will still cause a riot.

The so-called conspiracy theory on the mountain is actually not necessary at all, which is why he has this statement.

Li Ying sighed: "This kind of consideration, the saint will not ignore it, but some time ago, Empress Wu gathered a lot of princes and ministers to advise on this matter, and the scale is not small. Because the government of the last period of the Holy Dynasty mainly relied on the Wu clan to deal with it, although he still held real power, he could not arouse his anger, so he vented his anger to the ministers. ”

"What about the reason for borrowing?"

"The holy edict said: The widow sleeps at night, and only the heavens are afraid. Now the comet appears in the west, and the heavens warn that the widow is not virtuous, and he has not fulfilled the will of loving the people. The matter of the husband sealing the mountain is an ancient festival and should not be used often. In addition, the people are poor and their vitality is not yet restored, and the trip to close the mountain, even if it is extremely frugal, will also cost the people the time and labor of the people. It is neither to please the heavens, nor to win the hearts of the people. It was a special edict to discuss the ceremony of sealing the mountain, and it was immediately stopped. ”

"Comet? It is also reasonable to cancel the trip to seal Zen in this way. ”

But after the news of Guangzhou reached Luoyang, Empress Wu mentioned this matter again, although the saint had made it clear to him: sweep the courtyard, you can pray, this heart is pious, why do you need to offer altars? Besides, my life is not long enough, why should I climb the mountain to pray and seal a few feet of land? Who would have thought that when Empress Wu heard this, she left in a rage, it was already an excuse that she was unwell, and she had not been in the palace to participate in politics for several days, this was a means of persecution! ”

"The Wu family is so poisonous, so many times and three times, where can he still think of the love between husband and wife?"

"Therefore, the Holy Lord decided to do it, and he sent another holy order, asking you to go and find out!"

Li Yi fell into contemplation for a while, this move is obviously inconsistent with historical records, could it be that Zeng Guo has such a line? Or is it because of oneself that the course of history has changed?

He didn't go there secretly, but he was sure that Wu Zetian's conspiracy was set in the open, and his trip actually didn't make any sense.

Because he knows Gaozong's physical condition best, he has at least one year to live, and he will never travel tirelessly and cause illness.

If you want to stop it yourself, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and the Empress Wu will inevitably hate herself to the core, and then there will be mediation between Princess Taiping, I am afraid it will be useless.

Thinking of Taiping, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Feng She, if I have a way to delay it for a few months, will I be able to meet the will of the Holy Lord?" ”

Li Ying nodded: "This is inevitable, the saint just felt that he could no longer shirk, so he ordered me to find you!" ”

"Do you have a secret teleportation channel that has passed through the post station for eight hundred miles? This matter must not be leaked in the slightest! ”

"Mr. Li, this point is relaxed, and I guarantee that the gods will be sent to the Holy Lord without knowing it!"

"That's good, I'll fix a book tomorrow, and Brother Feng She will send it immediately, and in two days, you will know that the holy order will be replied!" When the time comes, decide whether I go or not. ”
