Floating White
Power is beautiful in every way, it captivates the mind and motivates people to make progress.
The late emperor, the empress dowager, and the saints all wanted me to learn to read and write...abandoning the barbaric and clear principles, I could not learn or understand them when I was young.
These square clichés are written on memorials, petitions, and notices. The power written in black and white is drawn on edicts, on yellow paper, and on yellow stickers. They dance the Huxuan dance, the Yuyi dance, their long sleeves fluttering, their swords dancing, as if they have life, as if they are alive.
We see each other day and night, a hundred times a day, and before we know it, strangers have become familiar faces. I look at the characters in the four directions and look at each other. Gradually, I no longer need to rely on others to read and recite them.
After I was eight years old, I lived in Prince Qing's house. After that, I lived in Taiji Palace and stayed in Xianju Palace at night. Every day I was either in Lizheng Palace or Shaoyang Courtyard. The raccoon slave had long since become a raccoon demon.
In Prince Qing's residence and Taiji Palace, eight years passed in a flash.
She was cautious at every step, every word was heartbreaking, she had to beg for mercy and flattery in front of the late emperor, and she had to be cautious in pleading for her life between the empress dowager and the saint. It was hard and tiring.
I sit in the Golden Palace, and I know everyone in the six departments. The six departments are just trivial. The court officials are either incompetent and useless and flatter the powerful, or they are talented and ambitious. I use the civil and military officials who can be used, and discard the useless ones. It is not difficult for the national treasury and the people in the north of Chang'an to travel between households.
Being in charge of the Taiji Palace in Chang'an and managing all 360 states in the world, when you think about it carefully, it is really a leisurely job.
Things in the world are much easier than the Li family's affairs.
War affairs, state affairs, Chang'an affairs, Luoyang affairs, Yizhou affairs, Pinglu affairs, world affairs, so many things happen in one day, and everything is on my shoulders. I am having a lot of fun.
The court officials all say privately that the Marquis of Luoyang usurped power and stole the country. This is not false. I have already borne the infamy. I cannot feel at ease if I don’t play with the power of the Li Dynasty and steal from the Taiji Palace to decorate the Marquis of Luoyang’s Mansion.
Fortunately, I was not born in the Li family. If I were born in the Li family, regardless of gender, I would definitely be extremely stupid and the most unjust.
Governing during the day and stealing at night.
Day and night, I never forget to serve Empress Dowager Feng with medicine.
I've been toiling away for days, feeling tired and bitter. It turns out that shouldering the empire is so tiring. No wonder my father and the late emperor died suddenly from overwork, and no wonder the Empress Dowager fell ill from exhaustion...
He was busy with government affairs during the day and sex at night. No wonder the current emperor became thinner and died young after only a few years as emperor.
Princess Yu came to the palace to take care of the sick, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact she had been prepared. She told me about the King of England who was still in the southwest.
Three years ago, the Princess of England passed away, and Princess Yu wanted me to choose a new Princess for the King of England...
As soon as I walked out of Xingqing Palace and arrived at Jishan Palace, I ran into Madam Shen, the wife of Duke Weiguo. Madam Shen was worried about Baodai's marriage. In front of me, Madam Shen also asked Concubine Tong to choose a good husband for Madam Shen.
Li Junshen wants to marry a wife, and Shen Baodai wants to marry a man.
Marrying and marrying, marrying and marrying, Princess Yu and Madam Shen, both entering the palace on the same day, was it a coincidence, or was it a pre-planned arrangement? I can't figure it out.
Princess Ping and Prince Jiangdu might have had some interactions before. Even though I had some doubts, I didn't ask any more questions.
The lady of the Shen family was once the wife of the rebel king. If Baodai were to marry the king of England again, Queen Mother Feng might not agree.
The late emperor and the empress dowager put profit first and the law is unforgiving.
As for the saint, no one knows his thoughts.
Except for King Guangcheng, all other members of the Li family were ministers.
The current sage has always been on good terms with the son of King Changle. Inside Chang'an City and outside Taiji Palace, no other King Li is as good as King Guangcheng Li Junming.
Among the royal family members, His Majesty the Emperor only recognizes Tan Langjun from the family of Princess Taikang.
The Li family is willing to marry one, and the Shen family is willing to marry one. Why should I not agree?
Let King Ying defend Yizhou with all his heart, and let Madam Shen wait for her marriage with peace of mind. I spoke clearly and said this to Princess Yu and Madam Shen.
Princess Huayang, wearing a twelve-flower crown, told me a strange story: Li Junshen was going to marry Shen Baodai, and Princess Ping was going to marry Prince Ying.
I said, I took the responsibility for this.
Princess Huayang is "seriously ill", so I asked the six bureaus in the palace to quickly make a queen's crown to bring good luck to the princess.
I put on the crown for the princess, and Anyang held the mirror for Huayang.
The eldest princess wore the most gorgeous crown, which was extremely presumptuous. When Concubine Tong saw it, she was speechless for several times and burst into tears, begging us to return the crown. The Tang Palace Chief took turns beating her. Princess Huayang finally got what she had always dreamed of, so how could she be willing to return it?
She didn't feel any pain as she admired the flowers and trees. The crown was given to her by me, so what was the big deal if I got hit with two boards? Anyang was beaten and cried and shed two tears. After playing for a while, he became so happy that he forgot the pain.
Yunyang, Liyang, Yuyang, Danyang, Princess Yu, Princess He, and Princess Cui have worked hard in serving the Queen Mother.
Puyang, Qinyang, Anyang, Shouyang, Nanyang, Leyang, Zhaoyang, Chunyang, Qiyang, all are well-behaved. I took advantage of the situation to grant additional fiefs to the princesses, county ladies, and princesses.
Yi Yang has taken care of Ru Di for many years. The county princess has been kind to me and has shown great favor to Ru Di. I have no way to repay her, so I can only stamp my name in red on the imperial edict, turning Yinyue Palace into the princess's residence.
While inspecting inside and outside, I thought of the young master of the Du family.
Several months passed, and Du Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was still imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Du Qing handled his official duties well and wrote cases well, but a small mistake, a small fault that could not even be called a mistake, almost cost him his life.
I wanted to release him from the Dali Temple and reinstate him to his original position, but was stopped by Concubine Zhu.
Eunuch Zhu said that Shaoqing Du was guilty of a heinous crime. I asked him what crime Du had committed, but Eunuch Zhu hesitated and could not give an answer.
"What is your relationship with him? Could it be that you are interested in Mr. Du?" Eunuch Zhu asked me anxiously.
"I've never met him before. Are you interested in his name, official position, and family background? Or are you interested in official cases and memorials?... It doesn't matter." I said.
"There is no connection at all, which means there is no grudge. Du Shaoqing is guilty of a serious crime. He is still alive in prison. If he leaves the Dali Temple, his life will be in danger, and it will be difficult for me to explain to my superiors." Eunuch Zhu's words were roundabout.
Upward, what does up mean?
He is the lord, the king, and the present emperor.
I understood most of the unspeakable crimes, the imprisonment in a deep prison without seeing the sun, the imprisonment, and the death.
Du Langjun offended someone, offended the saint of Taiji Palace, who was moody, deep-minded and played tricks on the court officials.
Du Shaoqing was young, promising, and handsome, a rare young talent in the north. At that time, I guessed that the saints were jealous of his talent and ability.
The saint is really hypocritical.
Despite all the attempts of Eunuch Zhu to stop me, I still expelled Du Shaoqing from the Dali Temple, demoted him in public but promoted him in secret, and exiled him outside Chang'an, letting him wander freely between heaven and earth.
I sit on the dragon throne, I lie on the throne, I play with the world at will, I order the Taiji Palace around, I order Zhu Guiren around at will. How I wish this Taiji Palace belongs only to me, I plot rebellion thousands of times in my heart day and night, but it is just a delusion in the end.
An imperial edict was issued to execute Sanlang, who had lost his surname. Then Rudi was brought back from Qianzhou. A white silk was given to strangle the mistress of the Yan family. My nominal mother was sentenced to death. I didn't have time to do anything.
Empress Dowager Feng gradually recovered, and I gradually calmed down.
As expected, the general was defeated and died.
He Nu defended Luoyang and recovered Pinglu, and would return to the court soon.
The saint returned to Chang'an.
Taiji Palace, only the King of Yue and I are most worried. The King of Yue was forced to live in the East Palace. Now that the Saint has won a great victory, Chang'an no longer needs the Crown Prince who is not right and has no voice, and the East Palace does not need an uncrowned prince.
The King of Yue has become the most redundant person in the world.
Being wary of suspicion is exactly the normal mentality of a saint.
I hold the Phoenix Seal and Jade Seal, and act with arrogance and power in the Taiji Palace. Will the Sage punish the King of Yue first, or me first? I have no idea.
The King of Yue was extremely cautious all the way, while I was arrogant and domineering every day. Before the King's army returned victorious, I and the King of Yue had different paths and ended up at the same destination. I gradually became extremely terrified and uneasy...
