When he heard this, Li Zhi looked at him strangely. Wu Meiniang was the beloved in his heart and he took her with him wherever he went. Now she said that there was another person who could comfort her. Who was it?
Eunuch Xia stopped talking nonsense and gave a look to the golden-armored guard next to him. Immediately, a beautiful woman was brought in.
Wu Meiniang's elder sister, Lady Han Wu Shun...
In history, Li Zhi fell in love with this aunt, but was later discovered by Wu Meiniang, so he began to distance himself from his sister, which eventually led to her death from depression.
As for the children born to Lady Han, they were all killed by Wu Zetian in the end.
Of course, the culprit may not be Wu Zetian. Li Zhi in front of her is also a lustful man. When looking at Madam Han at this moment, Li Zhi could not take his eyes off her. Wu Zetian is still young, but Madam Han has already given birth to two children, so she has a mature beauty all over her body.
Madam Han didn't know why she was brought here, but people in the palace said that they could give Madam Han great wealth and her two children would have a good future. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already ordered that the two children could enter the Imperial College to study with the emperor's grandsons.
"Your Highness?"
Seeing that Li Zhi was stunned, Eunuch Xia knew that this matter would have no other outcome. As for how Wu Meiniang had offended our prince, we could not delve into it. We should just do our current task honestly and do it well. This would be worthy of the anger that His Highness had given us.
It took a long time for Li Zhi to come back to his senses. He looked at Madam Han in front of him, then thought about Wu Meiniang in the back hall, and with the two imperial edicts in front of him, he knew what to do. Li Xiang was able to do things to this extent, which was already a great respect for Li Zhi.
Otherwise, with Li Xiang's current power, he could easily kill you, a woman, but could you possibly run back to Chang'an to complain? Even if you did, who in the court would be willing to say a word to you? Who would want to offend Li Xiang, the current General of Heavenly Strategy?
In just half an hour, Wu Meiniang had already drunk the poisoned wine. Eunuch Xia stood by and only ordered his men to drag the woman to a place outside the palace and burn her after seeing that she was dead.
This person was truly stunningly beautiful. Eunuch Xia was also puzzled. Our Highness had gone to such great lengths, wasn't it for his own enjoyment? To have been reduced to a pile of black ash was truly a waste of natural resources.
Li Xiang did have this idea, but Wu Meiniang was still not very old. Although she had not made any mistakes, Li Xiang was afraid of changes, so he simply decided not to meet her. This was the only way to resolve the biggest crisis. Otherwise, my Li Tang Dynasty would have almost become the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
Although Prince Li Zhi of Jin was very sad, he could not care less at the moment. He did not expect that the beauties of Fusang were so gentle. Li Zhi had people buy a few of them before, but compared with the ones collected by Li Xiang, they were far inferior.
What's more, Wu Meiniang was just a child at that time, and it was difficult for her to please Li Zhi. But Madam Han was different. After learning about Li Zhi's identity, Madam Han was already in a state of pride. This was a prince of the Tang Dynasty and he was born to the same mother as the crown prince. His future status...
Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Just take the entire palace heading to the Annan Protectorate. There were at least a thousand people in and out, plus the guards around, the number of people was two to three thousand. Although Madam Han came from a family of officials, when had she ever seen such a scene?
So he had already made up his mind that he must serve Jin Wang Li well. Only in this way could he consolidate his position and live a better life in the future.
Li Xiang in the capital also received the news. Changsun Chong also returned to the capital within a month. Although he was not feeling well, Li Xiang did not need to do any ideological work on this guy. His father was the one who saw things most clearly.
Changsun Mansion.
Looking at his son who was sighing in front of him, Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say. Now he had reached the peak of the Changsun family.
"Tell me, why does our family rely on women to maintain this bond? If these things hadn't happened, how could our son have returned to the capital? We've been training troops in the south for so long, waiting to conquer Zhenla after the Western Regions, and then attack India. This would mean enormous wealth and expansion, but we didn't expect..."
When Chang Sun Chong talked about this, he felt very sad. Since he had already decided to become a military general, he should have developed well in the army. The opportunity was finally coming, but who knew that the emperor's decree would send him directly to the Inspectorate. Although the official position given to him was not low, he did not have the temperament to stay as a civil servant.
"Sit down nicely! The former dynasty is connected to the harem, and the harem is connected to the former dynasty. I don't know how many times I've told you this. If your aunt hadn't been the queen, do you think our Changsun family would have achieved its current glory? Your aunt has been dead for many years now. Although the crown prince and the crown prince still remember this affection, if a new queen takes the throne, there will be new relatives..."
Changsun Wuji looked at his eldest son speechlessly. Changsun Wuji had a glorious life, but unfortunately these sons were not promising. They could only take on important responsibilities in certain aspects. If they became the patriarch of the Changsun family, some things would be difficult to say.
Of course, it is impossible for a family to remain glorious forever. In the previous generation, there were Zhangsun Wuji and Empress Zhangsun, which had already brought great honor to the family. People must be content, so when the emperor's edict came down, Zhangsun Wuji did not have any resentment, but instead thought it was a good thing.
"Son, it's a pity that this achievement is wasted. We have an absolute advantage in the south and can take back the land there at any time. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanting to protect the Western Regions, our offensive would not have stopped and we might have already started attacking Tianzhu. It's a pity that you don't have the chance to do so."
Chang Sun Chong has been busy in the south for such a long time and has lost more than ten pounds, all for the sake of this achievement. Unfortunately, there is no way to say so much now. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours has nowhere to go.
"From a long-term perspective, and considering our descendants, there's still a long way to go..."
Changsun Wuji threw down these words and let his son digest them slowly.
