Zhu Suiliang sneered: "We have been in power for decades. Whether we are right or wrong, we must take the matter of establishing a successor seriously. There is no need to fear death."
"In this way, if the matter your Majesty asks later is related to the deposed queen, then let me deal with it by myself and you don't say anything. In this way, even if I offend Your Majesty, the worst is that I will die alone, which is better than losing everything."
"No, it's not advisable for you to fight alone. If I can control it with several people, then Wu Zhao is not a simple character. She may be very scheming and cannot relax her confusion on His Majesty."
A few people frowned slightly. What they both said was reasonable, and they didn't know who to listen to.
"Let's wait for now. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Will we still be unable to convince His Majesty?"
Changsun Wuji didn't make a statement after hearing this, maybe they would really lose today.
After about an hour of burning incense, the eunuch's shout came from behind.
Li Zhi walked in slowly with an expressionless face.
The moment they saw Li Zhi come in, the three people's eyes narrowed slightly.
Now Li Zhi was dressed simply, his dragon robe was gone, and he walked slowly with a long sword on his waist.
After a few people saluted, they stood there without saying a word.
The courtyard was peaceful, like the calm before the storm.
After a while, Li Zhi seemed to be taking a casual walk in the courtyard, and then suddenly said: "I dreamed of my father and queen last night."
I don’t know whether I said this to myself or to them.
Li Zhi suddenly sighed: "Life is really short. Time flies by like a fleeting moment. Now that I think about it, my father has been dead for six years and my mother has been dead for more than ten years."
"I still remember reciting the Filial Piety Sutra here to my father, emperor and mother. Every time I think of it, I feel mixed emotions. Uncle, what do you think of me these years?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "Your Majesty, "filial piety!" "Heaven and earth can be used as lessons."
How could Li Zhi not understand the meaning? However, he did not care about it and continued:
"Both my father and my mother were not very old, and they passed away too early. If there is magic and magic that can bring them back to life, I actually want to reunite the whole family even if I don't become an emperor."
"It's a pity that I want to support my son but not my family. Now I don't have many relatives around me anymore..."
Li Zhi's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he had an abnormal love with Mei Niang, the concern for his parents in his heart was real.
The two suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other. Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi both sighed.
The past cannot be changed. Now that we have reached this point in a daze, what else is there to say?
"Okay, I'm going to talk to you about something important today!"
Li Zhi put away his worried look and said expressionlessly: "I summoned you because I want to ask you about the abolition of the establishment. Today, all my dear friends must give me an answer!"
Changsun Wuji said: "The recent unrest between the government and the public is all because of this matter. May I ask why your majesty insists on abolishing the queen?"
Li Zhi said calmly: "There are many reasons!"
"First, there is no heir. I have been living with the queen for several years, but we have no heirs. However, Wu Zhaoyi has a son, so I decided to make Wu Zhaoyi my queen instead!"
Several people couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this. Queen Wang only got tired of being with Li Zhi at the beginning. They didn't sleep with Li Zhi for so many years. How could she be a queen?
Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Excuse me, if your Majesty insists on doing this, it may violate the patriarchal law!"
"what for?"
"Simple, the queen was appointed by the late emperor, and should not be taken lightly! Your Majesty, please obey the late emperor's wishes, remember the late emperor's virtues, and do not have such thoughts!"
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, anger rising in his heart.
First Emperor, First Emperor, First Emperor! He has heard these words thousands of times! Everything is the late emperor!
Didn't his father imprison him to usurp power? Did he obey his father's orders?
But Li Zhi would not say such words even if he died. He could only say along the lines: "Of course I dare not forget the teachings of my father. However, the world is so changeable, and my father never thought that I would be with..."
Changsun Wuji interrupted: "The world can change, but the rules cannot!"
"It has been said in ancient times that a wife who is poor should not be abandoned. What's more, the queen is the daughter of a famous family. Although Wu Zhao's father is the Duke of the country, he comes from a humble background. How can he be worthy of your majesty?"
"If Your Majesty insists on having his own way, even if we agree and the ministers agree, what will the people of the world think? How can the people of the world be convinced?"
Li Zhi wanted to fight hard, but he couldn't defeat these old guys. After just a few words, he became passive.
"Even so, if I don't make Wu Zhaoyi my queen, I will be unwilling to do so. As for the queen, I will be deposed sooner or later!"
Li Zhi suddenly remembered Li Yunxiao's appearance.
Anyway, it is revealed both inside and outside of my words that I am stuck with you. I am still young and can live for several decades. How many more years can you live?
If Li Yunxiao were here at this time, he would definitely be praised. He is not good at learning, but he can learn how to use a hob to cut meat.
Seeing that Li Zhi was so stubborn, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to use the last resort.
"Your Majesty, I have one final word. If you plan to bear the name of incest forever, bring shame to the late emperor, and let the Li family be discussed from generation to generation, then you must persist."
Li Zhi's right hand suddenly held the long sword.
This sword was originally worn to increase his courage, but now, he really wants to kill these people!
At this moment, he knew that he had lost again!
"You guys are really good. I have learned a lesson today. This matter has been put on hold for the time being. You can go!"
After the words fell, Li Zhi glanced at a few people and left with his head held high.
Changsun Wuji glanced around and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you looking at again?"
Seeing Changsun Wuji look like this, the two people around him were a little puzzled.
He has been in the court for many years and has never seen anything before. Why is he so panicked?
Changsun Wuji said calmly: "You have never experienced it, so naturally you don't know how powerful that nightmare is. Okay, let's go back and think of a solution."
Several people nodded and turned to leave.
....
After Li Zhi came out, he came near the Lizheng Hall and didn't know how to get in.
An emperor was persuaded by his ministers over and over again. He confidently promised Wu Zhao, but now he is back in despair. How should he face it?
"Failure is the mother of success. If everything goes well, if there is no one to help when there are setbacks in the future, wouldn't it be that you will be pissed to death?"
"who!"
The sudden sound startled Li Zhi, who quickly straightened up his posture and looked behind him.
After seeing the person coming, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out to be the Imperial Master, why are you here?"
Li Yunxiao nodded Li Zhi's head with both fingers.
"If I weren't here, you might have to pay for your recklessness today."
Li Zhi suddenly realized: "Emperor Master, did you see everything just now?"
"I see, your momentum rises very quickly, but you also sink quickly... just like when I was young."
Li Yunxiao did not mince words about how insignificant he was when he first arrived.
Li Zhi lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I really can't defeat them, why not help me get rid of them!?"
Li Yunxiao's inner strength surged and he sucked out a book from Li Zhi's chest.
Then...
Snapped!
Li Zhi was hit in the mouth and blinded.
"Emperor...Why did the Emperor hit me again?"
"I'll hit you lightly! You have to remember that there is no shortage of ambitious people in this world. What is missing is an emperor who is both ambitious and loves his people like his own son."
"As the saying goes, water can both carry and capsize a boat. If all you can think about is killing to solve problems, and all you think about is asking others to help, then you might as well give up your position to others. It doesn't matter who the puppet is anyway."
"And we won't be in the middle of the court all the time. Maybe one day we can go outside and expand our territory of the Tang Dynasty."
The corners of Li Zhi's eyes couldn't help but twitch, what he said was too clear, and where is it outside?
Li Yunxiao opened the book and looked at it, and said: "Strange, is this how your father taught you how to govern the government? Have you read this "Emperor's Guide" carefully?"
Seeing Li Yunxiao slowly raising his hand, Li Zhi quickly stepped forward and took Li Yunxiao's arm: "Emperor Master, I read it carefully, but I am different from my father. Besides, didn't you promise that your father would take care of me?" ?"
"Taking care of you, am I not enough to take care of you? Do you know how busy I have been running around these years? How busy is my brother Yuan and brother Li?"
"Besides, if it weren't for me, you might have died in Luoyang, you know?"
Li Zhi was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You have really stayed in Wenrou Township for too long. You only pay attention to the trivial matters in the court, but no one hears about it outside."
"Please ask the Imperial Master for a reminder."
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said: "Not long ago, there was a flood in Luoyang that is rare in a century, and the location was Xuanwu Gate! If you two had gone there, it might have caused it to break out in advance."
"You and Wu Zhaoyi look like glue. If you are playing, what do you think the consequences will be?"
When Li Zhi heard this, his throat rolled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At the beginning, Li Yunxiao persuaded him not to let him go out to play and relax, which would lead to disaster, but now it has really come true! !
