Only now did he realize the pleasure brought by power and truly appreciate the untouchable majesty of the emperor. He had endured it for several years, not wanting to completely break up and kill Qing to rule the country.
But today, he had to do it!
All his forbearance is for today!
Li Zhi was trembling with excitement at this time.
After taking a deep breath, he raised his arms and said: "The deposed king and Li Wu have what their hearts want! Everyone's love for you is sincere. I have seen it. How can I not follow it?"
"Empress Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu and others caused trouble in the harem, jointly framed Zhaoyi, and secretly used witchcraft to kill my child. Their crime is unforgivable!"
"But my beautiful lady has a broad mind and has repeatedly urged me to be lenient. Therefore, today I am deposing him as a commoner, and his brothers and sisters, who are in the court, will be expelled and exiled to the outside world!"
Having said this, Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji: "Does anyone have any objection to this?"
Changsun Wuji sighed and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is wise, imperial power is imperial power. Even if Your Majesty says that the sun is black and the sky is dark, no one dares to object."
This sarcastic remark not only did not make Li Zhi angry, but instead he couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.
Changsun Wuji gave in!
He won!
"Come here, recall Li Chunfeng immediately and ask him to lead the Taishi Bureau to choose an auspicious day for me. I will appoint the new queen and hold a grand ceremony! All nations will come to celebrate!"
"As for this deceitful person, Zhu Suiliang, I hope that you have done meritorious service in following the late emperor, so I will give you poisonous wine!"
Poison wine is a kind of punishment. This wine is poisonous wine, and it will kill you if you take it in for just a moment.
"Zhu Suiliang is a meritorious official of the late emperor. In my opinion, it would be better to strip him of his official title and drive him out of Chang'an. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to kill him?"
A voice of opposition suddenly came from the main hall, which was particularly clear at this moment.
"Can't kill him? He has offended me many times, but I still can't kill him? Who said that? Get out of here!"
Tread...tap...tap...
A figure walked in calmly from outside the court hall.
"Emperor...Emperor Master?" Li Zhi frowned, why is he here?
Wu Zhaoyi, who was behind the bead curtain, felt worried when she saw Li Yunxiao arriving, clenching her fists together.
He has an unexplainable charm towards Li Yunxiao. A few days ago, he heard that Yuan Tiangang wanted to destroy the overall Feng Shui situation set up by the Xuantian Sect for her.
When she heard that both Yuan Tiangang and Li Yunxiao were besieged, she couldn't help but feel worried. When she heard that they killed many of them and then left, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Both of them are talents that are rare to see in a hundred years. If she wants to find a way to gather them, she will never let anyone get rid of them until the last moment.
But now, she is very worried that Li Yunxiao will speak out against her becoming the queen!
Li Yunxiao walked slowly and stood beside Zhu Suiliang, who was kneeling on the ground.
Officials on both sides ducked away, not wanting to be implicated.
Now in the center, Li Yunxiao and Li Zhi looked at each other, and the court fell into silence.
"Master Imperial, what do you mean?"
Li Yunxiao saluted: "Your Majesty, please lend me a moment to speak."
"I don't!" Li Zhi refused directly.
Seeing Li Yunxiao frowning slightly, Li Zhi coughed lightly: "If the Imperial Master has anything to say, it's the same here."
Li Yunxiao said calmly: "I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but this matter is very serious and we need to take another step to explain it."
"Emperor Master, even if you are a favored minister of the late Emperor, but His Majesty is unwilling to do so in the court, do you still want to force it?"
It was Li Yifu who spoke.
As he finished speaking, many people whispered and pointed.
Wu Zhao, who was behind the bead curtain, took a deep look at Li Yifu. She was very pleased that she dared to contradict Li Yunxiao in front of so many people.
Li Yunxiao slowly came to Li Yifu.
"Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Snapped!
"puff!"
With one slap, Li Yifu flew several meters away, shattered a few of his teeth, and fainted immediately.
The next moment, Li Yunxiao took out four tokens.
"I have urgent matters to discuss with Your Majesty. If you slander me, I will slap you as a punishment. If there are others who want to try, I can give up this death-free gold medal first!"
Everyone who was whispering stopped talking.
They all understood the meaning of these words. If they tried to stop him, they might die!
Li Zhi rubbed his forehead. Li Yunxiao said that there was nothing wrong with etiquette, and he treated him politely without any flaws, but he just didn't want to go.
But in the end, he couldn't help but Li Yunxiao's staring gaze, got up and walked towards the backyard of the hall.
"Come with me."
The moment he left, Wu Zhao also stood up and followed him.
There were only a bunch of stunned officials left in the entire court. Looking at Li Yifu lying unconscious on the ground, no one dared to go up and help him.
Just kidding, whether it's His Majesty or Li Yunxiao, it's not good for them to offend anyone, so they can just watch and don't care.
Changsun Wuji sneered: "This means that evil people will be punished by evil people. You deserve it! You should be slapped to death! You are a wallflower!"
Li Yifu was actually awake at this time. Feeling the pain on his face, he could hardly help but curse.
"The commander-in-chief was too cruel..."
....
Come to the backyard.
Li Zhi asked doubtfully: "Why is the emperor calling me here for urgent matters?"
Li Yunxiao glanced at Wu Zhao: "Don't you understand what I said? I want to talk to His Majesty alone."
Li Zhi stepped forward and held Wu Zhao's hand: "Let's talk here, she is not an outsider."
Li Yunxiao nodded,
"Your Majesty, do you think today is a happy day?"
"Yeah, I've never been so happy!"
"Well, let me ask you, what have you learned from Emperor Fan?"
Li Zhi chuckled and said: "The human body is like a mountain, tall and unmoving, like the sun and the moon. Everything I do feels correct and decisive!"
Li Yunxiao nodded, and then said in a low voice: "But if you look up to Zhao Shu, the world will return to you. Why don't you learn from this saying?"
"This..." Li Zhi was a little unable to speak.
The general meaning of the last two sentences is that if you don't have power and virtue, you can't attract people, and if you don't have kindness, you can't convince the public. Soothe the nine tribes with kindness.
It is the duty of a king to treat his ministers well and show courtesy, to respect his ancestors with filial piety, to be respectful in his position and to manage government affairs, to work selflessly and to be virtuous and righteous.
And if he killed Zhu Suiliang, he would be merciless.
"But he..."
"What he said is true, and what His Majesty did is also true. You should demote him to a commoner and exile him."
Seeing that Li Zhi was still hesitant, Li Yunxiao continued: "It is true that the emperor is majestic, but your Majesty should think clearly about the late emperor's intention of keeping him."
After saying that, Li Yunxiao turned and left, muttering to himself: "Hmm~ Your family is really messy."
The main reason he came here this time was to cooperate with Li Yifu's exercises. As for Zhu Suiliang, he was a man. After saving him, he also taught Li Zhi.
