Chapter 847 Wu Meiniang wants to adopt Li Sujie
Li Zhi sighed, wondering how to raise the prince's youngest son Li Sujie in the future. The prince's raising is different from that of ordinary people. Of course, even ordinary people's homes will hope that the child will be healthy and receive a good education when raising children.
The prince will become a prince in the future. Not only will he eat and drink well, but he will also receive good education. These are all easy for them to obtain. More importantly, they must learn to assist their brothers, that is, future emperors.
In the eyes of the father emperor, this is of course very important. Although it does not think so in the eyes of the new emperors in the future. Just as Li Shimin hopes that Li Ke can assist Li Zhi well and be a good brother who is friendly and respectful, neither of his two sons think so.
Li Zhi did not act well when he was a son, but he hoped that his son would grow up according to his wishes in the future. Li Zhi looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "Not sick, do you say, is it good to give Su Jie to the queen to raise?"
Wang Ping'an immediately shook his head and said, "Emperor, I think it is inappropriate to do this. If you don't say anything else, just say that the Empress wants to raise two children, the crown prince, and Su Jie. She wants to manage such a big palace, how can one take care of a person? Therefore, I think it's better to give Su Jie to a concubine with a low-ranking position, who has no children, but a good personality, so that the emperor can grow up the best, and let him grow up and satisfy you when he grows up."
Wang Ping'an is kind-hearted, treating adults and children. Li Sujie is so young, if he is involved in a palace fight, he will be innocent. If he wants him to grow up normally and be safe when he grows up, he has to protect him, and the best way to protect him is to hide him.
Finding a concubine with a low position to raise him. If the concubine has a low position means that she is not qualified to participate in the palace fight. If she has no children, she will be good to Li Sujie and treat him as a support for the future. The good personality of the concubine means that Li Sujie may have a good personality when she grows up and has little competitive spirit... To put it bluntly, Li Sujie is eliminated and will never have the opportunity to compete for power and throne again. You cannot become the current crown prince or the threat of the future crown prince. Just be honest and be the King of Anle.
In other dynasties, princes show their stakes, and the consequences are all kinds. But if they are princes in Li Zhichao, there will be only one result. Wang Ping'an doesn't want Li Sujie to suffer a sudden disaster, so he suggests this.
After hearing this, Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "There are many concubines with low status, but I have never paid attention to it. I rarely play with them." After waving his hand, he no longer worried about this problem.
Wang Ping'an was not easy to say too much about the royal children. He asked: "Emperor, then look at Concubine Xiao Shu's case, how should we settle it?"
Li Zhi was stunned, and said, "Isn't it already settled? Didn't you show me the case closing document just now?" As he said that, he picked up the case closing document again and looked at it, as if he was confirming whether it was a case closing document.
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Yes, the case has been settled now. I am asking the emperor whether to conduct a joint seizure and arrest more people. After all, Concubine Xiao Shu was killed, which is a big deal. It is better to do it bigger. It will have the effect of killing chickens and terrorizing monkeys, so that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace will not dare to harm others in the future."
Mi Xiaomiao held the emperor's youngest son. He glanced at Wang Ping'an and thought to himself: "The emperor will definitely not agree to what you said, and he will definitely not want to kill more people. But it is better to ask this question. The case will be closed early and the night will be too long and dreamy, so what will be involved."
Mi Xiaomiao said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Nu thought that this case should indeed have the effect of killing chickens and terrifying monkeys. The murderer who killed people must have belonged to nine clans. Xiao Nu thought that all his nine clans should be arrested and all cut off. And when they were chopping their heads, let everyone in the palace go to watch the punishment. This is the best way to ensure that no one in the harem will commit crimes again. "Wang Ping'an set a fire, and he quickly added some firewood and slap the wind. The two of them cooperated tacitly.
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately shook his head. Wang Ping'an and Mi Xiaomiao were talking nonsense, and the real meaning was to let him not involve too much and finish it quickly. The emperor, he really couldn't stand the fooling, and actually said: "This is not good. Even the punishment for the sanction has long been abolished. This is a cool law. I am not a tyrant. How could I restore this cool law because of the murder of the concubine? Emperor Yang of Sui was not so cruel. This case was settled like this. Killing fewer people can also let the palace people know the royal leniency and be grateful. The murder will naturally not happen again in the future."
Wang Ping'an agreed and took back the case-closing document and the scapegoat's suicide note, left the temple, and went to work hard for his own affairs.
Mi Xiaomiao hugged Li Sujie forward and asked while showing Li Zhi, "Emperor, how should the emperor's youngest son be arranged? Should we continue to stay here or find other concubines to raise?"
Li Zhi was silent for a while and asked, "Xiaomiao, who do you think is better to raise Sujie?" He couldn't make up his mind, and Mi Xiaomiao was holding the child again, so naturally, he asked about Mi Xiaomiao's arrival.
Mi Xiaomiao was stunned. If he let himself think about it in his stomach, he would be fine, but once he had to make a decision, he would not be able to do so. Just as Li Yifu said, he was a eunuch with no prospects.
Mi Xiaomiao was quite speechless and had a brain teaser, thinking about which concubine could raise Li Sujie. But his time wasted only a short while, but Li Zhi felt that he had asked the wrong person.
Li Zhi usually asks big names, and almost all questions can be answered immediately. He has never stuttered like Mi Xiaomiao and looked inexplicable.
Li Zhi stood up dissatisfiedly and said, "Sujie, let's stay here first. Who should raise him? Let me think about it again." He looked at the child again, but saw that Li Sujie was about to cry, and he couldn't figure out whether the child was hungry or urinating again.
Li Zhi left quickly. He didn't want to listen to the child crying. Even his son was not interested in coaxing him. After leaving Concubine Xiao Shu's bedroom, Li Zhi returned to Gengyou Hall.
Mi Xiaomiao held the child and sighed in the hall, saying, "What a pity, the emperor finally asked our family an important question, but our family had not answered it yet. Alas!" Suddenly, he saw the child crying again, and he became impatient and shouted, "Two people from outside come in, take good care of the emperor's young son. If you don't care, be careful that our family will take your life!"
Wang Ping'an left the palace and first arrived at Chengtian Gate and took Li Yi's mansion with them. The two of them went to Shangshu Province together. In this fashionable scholarship, Qin Shaoqing from Dali Temple had arrived early and had already told Changsun Wuji about this matter. When Wang Ping'an came and brought the emperor's oral order, the case was settled.
Changsun Wuji was irresistible about this case and didn't care much. He directly circled the case documents and handed over the case files to Dali Temple for sealing. The case was completely finished. Unless Li Sujie grew up and came to see Concubine Xiao Shu's case files, no one would mention it again. This ended here.
After Wang Ping'an handled the matter, he immediately returned to his Duke's Mansion. The other high-ranking officials all went to do their own work, and no one paid attention to a small person, that is, Li Yi's Mansion.
Li Yifu was anxious. The case was over, but what about him, what about his official position? Those two transfer orders did not have a date and did not count at all. Do he have to go back to the school and then become a small dictionary?
Li Yifu was ruthless and wanted to resist, reminding Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji that he had made great contributions in this case. Even if he made great contributions, he had to give him more good materials. You just forgot me?
But when I think about it again, I think about it again and again, but I can’t remember it, and there are also benefits of not remembering it. If I remember it and then silence it, I will be so unfair and die!
I had to endure it. Who made him a little person? He had no say. If he wanted to be promoted, he could only endure it slowly!
Wang Ping'an did not forget Li Yi Mansion, but did not want to deal with him immediately. Wang Ping'an felt that there might be some misunderstandings between him and Wu Meiniang. If he destroyed Li Yi Mansion at this time, he was afraid that this misunderstanding might be deeper and that it would not be compensated in the future. The suspicion between the two would be greater, which is very unfavorable. Because a small Li Yi Mansion made him and Wu Meiniang separate, it was really not worth it.
Wang Ping'an's plan was to let this go in advance. If Wu Meiniang remembered Li Yi's mansion, then talk about what happened after she remembered. If she couldn't remember, then she would deal with him. There is no need to deal with this matter immediately.
The palace is even more secluded.
Wu Meiniang ran back to Gengyou Hall and entered the hall from the back door. But after a long time, she didn't wait for the emperor. She was anxious, but she didn't dare to go out again, so she had to wait at the gate of the front yard where there were a few little eunuchs left by Li Zhi. She was so careless and considered a "Buddhist layman" in the protection hall, but in fact she had no use. But one thing is that although these wastes could not do anything, they were there. If someone wanted to harm Wu Meiniang, they would not dare to come from the main gate, so this was the safest place.
Wu Meiniang waited behind the gate for a long time before she saw Bu Nian and the emperor came back. She thought about it and decided not to tell the emperor about what happened today, because today's matter involves that little official. If the emperor was angry and investigated hard, it might implicate Wang Ping'an, which would be bad. Moreover, more importantly, she felt that the little official named Li Yifu was valuable, and it might be useful to keep him in the future.
Li Zhi entered Gengyoutang and saw that Wu Meiniang was waiting behind the door, as if she was looking forward to her return. He was very depressed and then he became a little cheerful.
After entering the gate, Li Zhi closed the door and said, "I have a feeling that as long as I am here, I can be happy, but as soon as I leave here, I am almost immediately unhappy. There are too many things in the palace in the court, which really makes me exhausted!"
Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi entered the hall hand in hand. After Li Zhi sat down, Wu Meiniang took a towel, wiped Li Zhi's face and hands, and brewed two more cups of tea. She sat opposite Li Zhi and accompanied the emperor to drink tea.
Li Zhi sighed, "Mei Niang, you are really different from other concubines." He held the teacup and blew it, and said, "Just say that drinking tea, other concubines brought it to me, then stood aside and watched me drink it. Only Mei Niang, you poured two cups of tea, sat in front of me, and drank with me, so that you would be like a husband and wife. It was really boring to respect each other and so on."
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Didn't the emperor go to Concubine Xiao Shu's place? But did he encounter something unpleasant?"
Li Zhi sighed, "There are too many things that are not going well, and I can't finish talking about it." He took a sip of tea, and then told Wu Meiniang about the case of Concubine Xiao Shu.
After hearing this, Wu Meiniang said in her heart: "I didn't expect that I actually got involved in Concubine Xiao Shu's case today and became one of the witnesses. It turned out that the ministers in the court used this method to operate murder cases. It was really despicable, but it was also very simple. If it were me, I could do it well. It was nothing difficult!" She had some experience in her heart about how to handle the case.
After talking about the case, Li Zhi sighed again: "Xiao's case has been settled, which has also relieved my heart. But the child who lost his mother in Su Jie was so worried that I hadn't thought about whether he should stay in Xiao's palace and be taken care of by the palace servants, or find another mother for him. After thinking about it, I didn't think of a good candidate. It seems that no concubine in the palace meets the conditions, which really makes me worry!"
Wu Meiniang said strangely: "Why do you need to adopt the emperor's youngest son?"
Li Zhi said: "It's said Wujian. He wants to have a low status as a concubine, a childless child, and a good personality... Hey, Mei Niang, you are all in line with these. Why don't you take the adoption festival? Raise him and grow up, treat him like a biological son. Isn't that good?"
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "Why do I have no children? I have Xiao Taiping! It's a pity that Xiao Taiping is raised by Wang Ping'an. If I want to get his foreign aid, I have to let him continue to raise it. I can only wait until my position is stable before I can take Xiao Taiping into the palace."
It can do whatever you benefit yourself. This is Wu Meiniang's principle. She said skillfully: "Emperor, since she was young, Meiniang has lost her heart. It would be great if she could hand over the emperor's youngest son to Meiniang for raising her."
Li Zhi said with a whisper, "Yes, you still have... we still have Xiao Taiping! It's strange, why didn't Wang Ping'an mention Xiao Taiping's affairs? Could it be that he hasn't taken Xiao Taiping to Beijing yet?"
Wu Meiniang said, "Maybe he is reluctant to let it go. Besides, Meiniang's current position in the palace is awkward. It is not good for her to bring Xiao Taiping into the palace. It is better to raise it outside the palace first!"
