Chapter 390 Datang: I want peace in the world (23) (page 12)
After Li Xian was dethroned from the throne, he was granted the title of King of Luling. The position of emperor fell to Li Zhi and Empress Wu's youngest son Li Dan.
The hustle and bustle of Chang'an has nothing to do with Yu. At this time, she led a group of young generals in the court through numerous mountains and finally arrived at the border with the Turks.
Before leaving, Cheng Huaimo's secret clue was left to Wu Zetian by Zhiyu.
With Cheng Huaimo as a nominal rebel, it would be much smoother for Wu Zetian to do things...
After arriving at the border, Zhiyu worked hard and prepared to capture the Turks before Wu Zetian became emperor.
If the news of the capture of the Turks could be conveyed to Chang'an when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, it would be enough to build momentum for Wu Zetian...
The destined heroine, isn’t this coming?
The royal army was victorious on the day he ascended the throne. Who can say that this is a good omen? Who dares to order Wu Zetian to ascend the throne?
As for her position as crown prince, Zhiyu is not in a hurry. She is not afraid of Wu Zetian's regret. As long as Wu Zetian does not want all her children to die, she will not dare not fulfill her promise.
Li Zhi gave the throne to Li Xian, military power to himself, and the final decision-making power to Wu Zetian. Didn't he just want the mother and daughter to fight?
Thinking about it, Li Zhi would understand if she took action against her royal brothers, right?
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. Li Shimin should be able to make him understand. After all, the originator of killing his brother to seize the throne was Li Zhi's biological father, Li Shimin.
If he dares to condemn himself, then he is unfilial and disrespectful to his biological father......
After Zhiyu arrived at the border, he was not in a hurry to send troops to the Turks. Instead, he asked people to recruit orphans from the border and designated a place for these orphans.
The natural disaster in the Tang Dynasty had just passed, and the border at this time was extremely desolate and lifeless.
Zhiyu sent people to recruit orphans and after the news spread, not only did he recruit real orphans, but he also had children with both parents.
On a spring day, more or less chilly, a group of women wearing patched clothes and yellow-faced faces knelt on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"This girl, I heard that you accept boys and girls here. Please... please give my daughter a way to survive."
A pale, skinny woman pushed the little girl in front of her forward, looking at Liu Siyou with desperate eyes and praying.
Liu Siyou had already experienced the scene in front of her when she was in Shicheng, so she was not panicked:
"Auntie, the princess is kind-hearted. She knows that the life of a hundred people on the border is not easy, so she used her private treasury to save the lives of orphans nearby."
"The princess' private treasury is limited, and the children she can save are also limited. If I accept your children, those children without parents will really die..."
"It's not easy for everyone in a disaster year. Madam, you should be more understanding."
Hearing what Liu Siyou said, the woman's face instantly turned pale, "Girl, please give our daughter a river path."
Liu Siyou shook his head and sighed, "Auntie, the princess's private treasury is limited and she cannot raise so many children."
"If you insist on me taking your daughter in, that's not impossible, but do you know what I will ask her to do?"
Hearing Liu Siyou's question, the lady kowtowed fiercely on the ground, "Girl, after you take her away, you can let her do whatever you want. I just ask you to give her food to eat so that she will not starve to death."
Liu Siyou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "These children will go to the battlefield when they grow up."
"Look at how skinny your daughter is, are you willing to let her go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future?"
Hearing Liu Siyou's words, the woman hesitated uninterestingly, nodded and said: "Girl, whether you let her go to the battlefield or sell her to the land of fireworks, this is her life."
"I really have no way to raise her now. I just ask Miss Gu to accept her first and give her food to eat, so that she won't starve to death at such a young age."
Hearing what the woman said, Liu Siyou didn't react. Instead, he looked at the timid girl in front of the woman: "Who are the people in your family?"
Liu Siyou's voice was gentle and soft, and the little girl was not afraid after hearing it. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "There is grandma, there is grandma, there is brother, and there is brother."
Hearing the little girl's words, Liu Siyou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you have two sons?"
The woman nodded, "The grassroots have two sons, one is ten years older than her and the other is three years younger than her."
Hearing this, Liu Siyou smiled lightly and looked directly into the woman's eyes, "In that case, why not send your eldest son to join the army."
"The court has regulations. When new recruits join the team, they will be rewarded..."
Hearing what Liu Siyou said, the woman burst into tears and said, "Girl, my son just got married this year. If he goes to join the army, won't his marriage be delayed?"
"He didn't leave a heir for his family. If he accidentally dies on the battlefield after joining the army, he will be without a heir for the rest of his life."
Liu Siyou's eyes fell on the thin girl, and she sighed helplessly: "You have given your daughters to me because of difficulties. If your son gives birth to a child, can you support him?"
Hearing this, the woman first shook her head, and then nodded, "After planting this year's grain, there may be a good harvest, and then we will be able to live on..."
Liu Siyou smiled faintly, "In that case, why don't you take your daughter back and persist for another year. Maybe this year's harvest will be good and you can feed your daughter."
"Your daughter is so skinny. If she were sent to the battlefield, she might not be able to defeat a strong Turk."
After hearing Liu Siyou's words, the woman hesitated for a while, and finally shook her head and said: "Girl, take her away.
"My family really can't afford to support her..."
Liu Siyou looked directly into the woman's eyes and said with a serious face, "You have to think clearly. If I take her away, from now on, she will have nothing to do with your family."
The woman glanced at the girl reluctantly, and finally nodded hard and said: "I have thought clearly, everything is her life, and whether she can survive or not depends on her."
Hearing this, Liu Siyou did not speak, but gently raised his hand and asked the soldier behind him to give the woman a deed of severance.
"You press your fingerprints, and from now on, she will have nothing to do with you."
"Auntie, don't throw me away. I will be very good. I will never compete with my brother for food again..."
At this time, no matter how dull the little girl was, she knew that her mother no longer wanted her, so she couldn't help but hug the woman and cry loudly.
The woman quickly pressed her fingerprints, pushed her aside, and said with a face full of despair: "From now on, you will have nothing to do with our family anymore. Just think that you were born of stone and have never had any problems." This is my mother."
"Aunt..."
Hearing the woman's decisive words, the girl was so frightened that she wanted to go up and hug the woman.
The woman took a few steps back and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "Girl, don't blame grandma for being cruel."
"Your eldest brother is getting married soon, your brother is still young, and you, Aye, and Aniang are incapable of supporting you, so they can only send you here."
"You should be more diligent in the future and try to live longer."
