Seeing Li Yunxiao leaving, Li Zhi pondered for a moment and nodded. He had indeed gone too far just now.
"Let's go back."
After Li Zhi returned, he punished the other party lightly and chose to be exiled, and the matter came to an end.
....
On the first day of November in the sixth year of Yonghui, the ceremony to enthrone the queen was held at the Suyi Gate of the palace.
Now that winter has entered, although there are no birds singing and the fragrance of flowers accompanying it, the ceremony is still grand and magnificent.
Hundreds of civil and military officials, including wives, chiefs of the barbarians, and envoys of the Tibetan kingdom, wear purple robes of the third rank, red robes of the fifth rank, and green robes of the seventh rank, in various colors.
Officials up to the ninth grade came bustling to participate and celebrate.
Envoys from other countries also paid tribute and brought numerous gifts.
When the new queen appeared on the gatehouse accompanied by the emperor, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.
She is dignified yet charming, gorgeous yet reserved. Her hair is rolled up high and paired with twelve jade hairpins, shining like feathers.
Wearing a beautiful golden haori on her body, under the sunlight, the rays of light are shining, the auspicious colors are beautiful, and she is as graceful as a phoenix descending from the sky.
Facing the attention of everyone, she looked particularly chic and decent every time she looked back, and every smile made her feel warm in her heart.
Her whole body exuded nobility and breathtaking charm.
Only then did everyone realize that this person seemed to be a born queen, and even if there were disgraceful things, she could not hide it.
As for the rumors outside, Li Zhi had already thought it through and told the world.
It was claimed that Wu Zhao was of noble birth, talented and virtuous, and was originally recruited by his father. However, because Li Zhi had been with Li Shimin for too long in his early years, Li Shimin took pity on him and gave him Wu Zhao because he thought he liked it.
Just like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave Wang Zhengjun to his son Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he could be established as a queen.
After these words came out, even Li Yunxiao had to admire how good this kid was.
All negative effects were transformed into romantic and beautiful explanations, which not only proved their innocence, but also designated Wu Zhao as his woman in the name of the late emperor, so she could naturally become the queen.
On a city wall.
Li Yunxiao and Li Chunfeng took their seats here. There were drinks between them, but they did not go to the noisy place like everyone else.
Li Yunxiao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said, "He is really good at making up stories."
Li Chunfeng said lightly: "But a story is a story after all. There are many shrewd people among the people. How wise is Taizong? How could he ignore etiquette and imitate others in giving away his woman?"
"But it doesn't matter now. Your Majesty now has imperial power and power. With this power, who would be stupid enough to expose it?"
"Yes, they are all smart people."
After a while, Li Yunxiao leaned against the wall and murmured: "In a flash, it has been more than 20 years since I joined the court with you. Time flies so fast."
"Yes, you are no longer the dissolute Brother Yunxiao you used to be. You have matured a lot, hahahaha..."
"Of course, everyone can learn and grow."
"Speaking of which, Brother Li, I wrote a book more than a month ago, which troubled me very much. How about you enlighten me?"
Li Chunfeng smiled lightly and said, "What's the name of the book?"
"The Tang Dynasty laid out its plans for three hundred years!"
"The Tang Dynasty has been laid out for three hundred years. You are quite ambitious. Even if you take the Immortality Pill, are you sure you can live that long?"
"Whatever, I wrote it and sent it out anyway, but the response from the public was not very good."
"Oh? Why?"
Li Yunxiao sighed: "I wrote about my own experiences in it, but many people always insulted me and even discredited my book. What's funny is that some people said it was no good and had to hire someone to discredit it."
Li Chunfeng laughed heartily: "Everything has its good and bad sides. No matter what you idle people do, if they had the ability, wouldn't they have written their own books? Why do they need to read Brother Yunxiao's writing?"
Li Yunxiao nodded melancholy: "Yes, sometimes I understand this kind of person. After all, it is possible that his life is not satisfactory, his parents may have been gone for a long time, his woman belongs to Lao Wang next door, or maybe he None of his sons are his own."
"It's fun to finally find a chance to vent and give some advice."
Li Chunfeng filled a glass of wine for himself and asked: "There are still people who support you, right?"
"Of course there are, but most of them are bad people, their own people."
Li Chunfeng put his arm around Li Yunxiao's shoulders and smiled: "With their support, it's okay. You don't rely on this to make money. Isn't the Silk Road enough for you?"
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath, just sighing and complaining for a moment, and did not dwell on this topic.
"By the way, I have a question and want to ask Brother Li."
"What's the matter?"
"Are you still sure that destiny is unbreakable?"
"Why do you ask?"
Li Yunxiao looked at the bustling venue: "There are many secrets I planted in this dynasty. Maybe some things will not happen?"
"You don't have to think about Brother Yunxiao anymore. Even if you kill Wu Zhao, there will still be other troublemakers, even worse than her, and far worse than her existence. Besides, can you kill ten thousand people or one hundred thousand people? When people are weak, you can’t kill them all.”
"I'm not asking about whether to kill someone or not."
"Oh? What is that?"
"I'm talking about the problem of prosperity must come down."
Li Chunfeng sighed and murmured: "Who knows what didn't happen? Even if it was predicted, wouldn't it be you and Brother Yuan? Maybe you two can really do it."
"What about you? How about I buy you a bastard too?"
Li Chunfeng sneered and shook his head: "I think you two are raising him well. I'll forget it. I don't know how to raise a bastard. Stop raising him to death."
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath, filled the glass and drank it in one gulp. The spicy taste suddenly turned a little bitter.
The two fell into silence, as if they were two different worlds compared to the bustling venue in the distance.
....
The event continues.
Changsun Wuji was not punished and just stood under the gate tower.
These days, he has been reflecting on the reasons for his failure.
Today he understands that his failure stemmed from his arrogance and tyranny.
He never thought that Li Zhi, whom he had ignored, looked cowardly, but actually had desires hidden in his heart.
He didn't even expect that a woman could have such great abilities.
He even ignored Li Yifu. This guy had been groveling in front of him for several years, and now he was the first one to betray him!
"well--"
Changsun Wuji sighed and couldn't help but think of Yuan Tiangang's advice to him.
Could it be that all of this was something that the late emperor had anticipated a long time ago, and whether it was Yuan Tiangang or Li Yifu, they were all pawns left by the late emperor to contain him?
"Uh!" Changsun Wuji suddenly widened his eyes, he figured it out!
He happily accepted the rights given to him by Li Shimin, but he unknowingly walked into a trap and became a stepping stone in Li Zhi's growth!
