0010 miserable family

Li Tong was finally able to leave the dark corner of Jiacheng. Although the real scenery of the early Tang Dynasty had not yet fully unfolded to him, it was also slowly rising.

As the palace city of Luoyang, Taichu Palace is extremely large. It was originally the Ziwei Palace in the Sui Dynasty. After the Wu Empress was called the system, it was changed to Taichu Palace. There were two major construction mad demons in the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, including Emperor Yang of Sui and Wu Zetian in the past. The two of them built this palace one after another. The grandness of Taichu Palace can be imagined.

In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, King Li Shimin of Qin attacked and destroyed Wang Shichong, and ordered some of them to be burned because the Ziwei Palace was too luxurious. Later, Li Shimin became the emperor himself, so he also wanted to build Gongyu to boast about his prosperity and repair Ziwei Palace, but he stopped because of his strong advice.

However, when Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was encouraged by Wu Zetian and formally established the two capital system. After that, the couple colluded and had a great time to go between the two capitals. Even Emperor Gaozong died in Ziwei Palace in Luoyang.

At the moment, Li Tong was not in a mood to criticize the ruler's extravagance and was thinking about the deep logic behind this change in situation on his way to his new residence.

It is obvious that the "Ciwu Poetry" he entrusted Li Xian's name was the direct reason. However, he could not estimate how much role the "Ciwu Poetry" played in it. If he did not understand the logical advancement in it, he could not base himself on it and imagine it.

On the way, he also tried to inquire about Shangguan Wan'er, trying to find out some useful information. However, this woman's response was unscathed and far contrary to the common sayings of big breasts and brainlessness, which inevitably made Li Tong feel frustrated.

But if Shangguan Wan'er doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Li Tong has no gains. It should be noted that before he came to this world, he was immersed in the world of fame and fortune for several years. Perhaps he was not a young officialdom, but he still had the ability to summarize the laws of development from daily neatness and meticulousness.

What is the relationship and relationship between Li Xian and his mother Wu Zetian? Apart from the mother and son they are involved in, it is very difficult for outsiders to explain clearly. Even if there is an interpretation, it often only stays at the level of political interests.

However, Li Xian has been dead for several years, and the political legacy left behind is very small. If Li Tong wants to start from this aspect, he will only achieve half the result with twice the effort and will be difficult to achieve. Therefore, considering these issues again is just in vain.

It is true that Wu Zetian is a politician, but she also has the fickleness and sensibility of a woman, which makes her image more complicated. Not to mention that Li Tong, as an outsider and later generation, had no way to understand it in detail. He believed that even close ministers like Shangguan Wan'er, what he saw of Wu Zetian was probably only one-sided and difficult to get the whole picture.

The feeling of awe and almost admiration for Wu Zetian revealed in Shangguan Wan'er's words is not just an effect that can be achieved by being overwhelmed by power. In other words, Wu Zetian is good at using the power brought by the power in his hands. Through rich means of power, he subtly polished all kinds of people around him to a slight sensation.

Li Tong himself lacked a very masochistic personality and did not intend to cultivate this pleasure. It seems that he can't even see Wu Zetian, and he is not qualified to please him through his daily behavior. In this case, what kind of person Wu Zetian is has little to do with him.

He only needs to confirm that Wu Zetian is a politician, and politicians must have the ability to choose and judge based on the pros and cons of reality. In other words, he only needs to show that he is useful and put away his harmful side, and it is not difficult to survive.

Of course, before this, he could not be sure whether his judgment was accurate, nor could he be sure whether Wu Zetian would continue his resentment towards his son to his grandson. After all, Wu Zetian was still a woman, so he could only passively wait for the verdict of fate. Now the facts proved that he was right, and the originally confused prospect became a little clear.

For example, Li Tong guessed that Wu Zetian might be using the "Ciwu Poem" written by Li Xian to hit his younger son Li Dan: Don't think that you can't deal with you if you are the emperor now. Even the dead son is unhappy because he disobeys me. Your mother will always be your mother!

Li Tong did not have much psychological burden for begging for the use of the dead Li Xian's name.

Not to mention that he still cannot fully embrace the emotional stance of the young Li Shouyi. Even if Li Xian is in a state of resentment, he should not blame his son. If he wants to blame, he will blame his father Li Zhi. He married a shrew who has caused trouble to his family and is not restrained.

Not to mention Li Tong, even Li Dan, who is now sitting in the emperor's position, can he have any solutions to face his aggressive mother? He is not willing to bear humiliation and cry and shout to give Li Tang's storm to his mother?

By the way, Li Dan was really sad. He should have been the carefree and carefree Fugui Yiwang and the youngest son in my mother's heart. As a result, the first three brothers failed one after another, and in the end the anger from his mother could only grit their teeth and bear it.

Li Dan's original name was Li Xulun, but later changed his name to Li Lun. Perhaps Wu Zetian felt that Li Lun was still not smooth enough, so she simply changed it to Li Dan. It can be seen that this youngest son was born just to play around.

Li Dan also fulfilled this mission very obediently. As for the other few who dared to be angry, they were all miserable. Especially Li Xian, who had similar talents and contradictory destiny, couldn't even hold on to the word "miserable", and would harm his children and grandchildren.

As for the third brother Li Xian, who had a delayed and intermittent attack in the secondary dysfunction, he was probably protected by his teacher, the holy monk Tang Sanzang. The Buddha Light King had finally survived the glory of the Liuwei Emperor Pills of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

So even if Li Tong does something that makes Li Xian unfair to save his life in the future, he is really helpless. Isn’t it to make his descendants more popular?

The group was winding forward in the corridor between the numerous halls and pavilions. Li Tong was still seriously ill and was still weak. He was panting shortly after walking. Seeing this, the nurse Zheng Jin wanted to bend down to carry Li Tong on his back, but Li Tong waved his hand and refused. However, Zheng Jin's almost doting attitude towards the young Li Shouyi still touched him deeply.

Born in such an environment, the boy was not a person with a strong and hard-working personality. He had the care and indulgence of his parents, but after being detained alone and had no support, he could not help but panic and eventually died.

It is not necessarily a blessing for young people to be born in the deep palace and grow up in the hands of women, but unfortunately live in such a bloody and turbulent era. It is not necessarily a blessing for young people to abandon the world early.

But the young Li Shouyi was relieved. If he had been Li Tong to face this situation, although there had been a seemingly good turning point and beginning, he thought that the thunder storm that was still brewing under this sky was still not optimistic in the future.

The strength and independence shown by Li Tong seemed to be nothing strange to Shangguan Wan'er, because the old prince Li Xian she knew was a young emperor with strong energy and spirit. As his son, Li Shouyi seemed a little thin due to the living environment, but in Shangguan Wan'er's view, perseverance was the basic quality that a young man should have.

Even a weak woman like her is struggling to survive in the Forbidden Palace. What qualifications does Li Shouyi, who was born in such a family, have the right to be weak or spoiled?

However, when Zheng Jin, a person who was already close to young Li Shouyi, was full of doubts when he saw the change in his temperament of the young man, and his suspicion appeared on his face.

Li Tong naturally noticed that Zheng Jin was constantly scrutinizing him, and he felt helpless. He wanted to survive as a young man Li Shouyi, which was an irreversible fact, but he really couldn't do it to completely imitate the boy's temperament and style of his memory from the outside and inside. It really took him a lot of thought to explain the changes that have taken place to the old friends.

Originally, he no longer planned to pretend to be a god. Now it seems that it is necessary to continue to maintain this explanation before the young Li Shouyi gets close to everyone, because he has no better words.

However, he was not very worried about his relatives accepting it. He was Li Shouyi, which was already a fact. Moreover, the dangers and pressures surrounding the Yong Wang family have not yet disappeared, and it is difficult for everyone to have more energy to investigate or resist the changes that have occurred in him. Surviving is the key task at the moment.

Li Tong was weak and unwilling to let someone carry it forward. Moreover, if there was no special order to give him a favor, he would never use his chariot at will, so the group could only walk and stop.

In fact, Li Tong was not just weak. While he was resting, he carefully observed the nearby scenery and tried to keep the layout of the forbidden palace he had done. He didn't know whether he could use these accumulations, but watching more is the only thing he could do now.

Wu Zetian is above and will not give him more sympathy. If he wants to survive, he must be alert.

Along the way, the biggest impression I saw on Li Tong along the way was the grand layout of the palace ban. The complete and real Taichu Palace in front of him brought him far greater impact and feelings than the pursuit of later relics or the visits to palaces in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The grand atmosphere filled the double-eaved high platforms.

Perhaps because Empress Wu has been in Shangyang Palace for a long time and is not in Taichu Palace, there is no embellishment between the palaces and gardens, and there is not too much brightness and prosperity. The towering palaces give people more pressure that cannot be expressed. Walking through this makes people feel anxious, bow their heads and walk with respect, and dare not talk and play leisurely.

Although the palace is extremely large, its privacy is also extremely high. Many palace courtyards that you see on the way are surrounded by high walls. If you don’t go deeper into it, it is difficult to see the inside. There are also many places with great vigor. Rather, it is better to say that they are fortresses that can be defended by relying on elite troops.

The palace structure is like this, but it has to be said that in the Tang Dynasty, the palace changes occurred much more frequently compared to other eras in history. This was the case with the Taichu Palace in Luoyang, and the more famous Daming Palace in Chang'an must be the same. It can be seen that whether the physical buildings are stable or not can't stand the complex changes in people's hearts.
