Li Zhi woke up instantly as if he had been electrocuted, and murmured in his heart: "I don't know anything, and I haven't done anything!"
After a moment, Wu Zhao suddenly said in a cold voice: "Okay, Your Highness, it has been wiped clean."
After saying that, Wu Zhao turned around and walked away without any hesitation, as if the person just now was not her.
Li Zhi stood there blankly, watching Wu Zhao's leaving figure, and suddenly he slowly raised his hand to retain him.
But the next moment!
Snapped!
He gave himself a hard mouth!
"You are shameless!" After scolding himself secretly, Li Zhi stood up and left.
But the shadow of Wu Zhao will always flash in my mind, and I can't help but wonder, does she like me? Do I like her? Why is my heart throbbing so much?
"Hahaha... I may be lucky today. Hey, Zhi'er, what's wrong with your face?"
Li Shimin, who was chatting and laughing with a group of envoys, noticed that Li Zhi's cheeks were slightly red and came over, and he couldn't help but worry about whether there was a problem with toxins.
Li Zhi quickly shook his head, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that the weather is too hot."
Li Shimin just smiled and asked the eunuch to fan him aside, and then asked Li Zhi to follow him and continue hunting together.
Li Zhi got on his horse and looked behind him. The figure he was expecting was gone. He turned his head in disappointment and followed.
After everyone left, Wu Zhao slowly walked out from behind the tent, with a smile of success on his lips.
No matter who it was for, she, Wu Zhao, had been forced to do such a thing during these ten years of loneliness.
Li Shimin didn't care about her. If she didn't find support and completely fell out of favor, she didn't dare to think about what would happen in the harem.
Perhaps she could rely on the Xuantian Sect to eradicate some people, but she had never believed in the Xuantian Sect from the bottom of her heart.
She prefers to have everything in her own hands!
....
Two more months passed.
Li Shimin suddenly fell seriously ill. It was rumored that it was a wind disease, so he directly delegated power to Li Zhi.
Today, there is peace, and the four regions in the east, west, north, and south have either surrendered or been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. His name, Li Shimin, is enough to be remembered throughout the ages.
But everyone can feel that Li Shimin is not happy. Especially in the past seven or eight years, these things in his family have gradually reduced Li Shimin's free and easy boldness, and he has become more gloomy and silent.
On this day, Li Zhi came to visit Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was sitting on a deck chair at this time, fishing in the pond like his father Li Yuan.
As if he had expected Li Zhi to come, Li Shimin took out a book called "Emperor Fan" from under his body and handed it over.
Now Li Zhi's political studies are almost complete, but he is really not qualified to be an emperor, so Li Shimin wrote this book to teach him how to be an emperor.
"Okay, we'll see about it later. How about going out for a walk with me first?"
Li Zhi was stunned: "My son is fine, but your wind disease?"
"Hahahahaha..." Li Shimin stood up as if nothing happened, and said with a faint smile: "Fengji? Silly boy, I told outsiders that."
Li Zhi instantly understood that this was his father's intention. He was slowly delegating power and wanted him to have personal contact with the ministers and affairs of the court!
The two walked side by side towards the outside of Tai Chi Palace.
As soon as he came out, Li Zhi kept looking left and right. Li Shimin asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
Li Zhi was stunned: "It's nothing, I was just wondering why no eunuch came to accompany me."
Li Shimin said impatiently: "Why do you ask them to follow you? Today it's just you and me, father and son. I have to teach you a lesson. Maybe it's the last lesson before you become an emperor."
"Father, what are you talking about? My father is as strong as a young man. He will have a lot of time to teach his children in the future!"
Li Shimin touched Li Zhi's head and said nothing.
Now twenty years have passed, and Yuan Tiangang's refining of medicine three years ago is approaching, but he feels that immortality is indeed difficult and unrealistic, so his faith in his heart is somewhat disappointed.
Recently, his health has indeed been very poor, but it is not because of illness, but because something went wrong with his innate Qiankun Gong. He was too impatient and his meridians were damaged. Even Sun Simiao could not help him restore it.
But even so, he is not afraid. The name of Tian Khan is now at the peak of the sky. The peace and prosperity of Zhenguan in all directions are envied by others. His name is enough to be famous throughout the ages. What is there to fear even if he dies?
Soon, the two came to a quiet courtyard.
Although this place is not as majestic as Taiji Hall or Liangyi Hall, few people usually come here.
But he has a name that everyone knows.
Lingyan Pavilion!
Li Zhi naturally knew, but he didn't know why Li Shimin brought him here.
The two came to the second floor, where portraits of everyone in Lingyan Pavilion were hung on one wall.
Li Shimin's eyes were directly fixed on Hou Junji's portrait from the moment he came in.
Since Hou Junji was executed for conspiring to rebel, he was not worthy of being in Lingyan Pavilion, but Li Shimin, thinking of his past merits, allowed him to continue to be placed here.
Now it has been several years since he came here. He didn't want to come here just because he didn't want to see this portrait.
But things in the world are unpredictable and unpredictable. In order to teach Li Zhi a lesson, he had to come.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Zhi'er, do you have a minister you like?"
Li Zhi said respectfully: "My children love all the heroes of the Tang Dynasty and respect them even more!"
"Ha, having said that, there is always one person you value most, right?"
Li Zhi thought for a while: "Then let's be Master Li."
Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows and smiled: "I asked you to talk about the ministers of Lingyan Pavilion. Li Yunxiao is technically my friend, not a minister."
"This..." Li Zhi hesitated: "But I think they are all the same ministers, and I really can't choose one of them."
"Minister of the buttocks..." Looking at Li Zhi who was a little embarrassed, Li Shimin didn't say anything, smiled and touched each portrait, and slowly said:
"Zhi'er, you must remember what I'm going to say next."
"Your Majesty, please listen!"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Fang Xuanling, the governor of the Sui Dynasty, the son of Fang Yanqian, a Jinshi during the Daye period, finally entered the Sui Dynasty."
"Yu Chigong was originally under Liu Wuzhou's command. After his defeat, I saw his bravery and cherished his talent, so I persuaded him to surrender."
"Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, was the county magistrate of the Sui Dynasty. He was like a god in using troops, and his observation skills were even more amazing. When he first noticed that Taiyuan was raising troops, he reported it to the Sui court, which almost caused the annihilation of our Li family."
"After being captured and about to be executed, he once shouted at the execution ground that he wanted to kill a righteous man for a big deal. Your grandfather (Li Yuan) was moved, so he spared his life and entrusted him with important tasks."
"Changsun Shunde and Liu Hong are criminals, and Zhang Gongjin is an old general who defected to the Tang Dynasty..."
After talking a lot, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Even your uncle Changsun Wuji, although I have a similar spirit with him and are related to him, he has never participated in my actions in Taiyuan. Only when victory is in sight will you surrender to me."
"In terms of loyalty, he may not be as good as the flattering warrior Yu from the Wu family."
Li Zhi was stunned.
When he looked at the portraits around him, the kind-hearted people had turned into evil spirits, which made him feel frightened.
Isn't this over? Are they all rebellious?
Doesn't that mean that there is no one in the civil and military circles that he can rely on with peace of mind? !
