Wu Meiniang felt a little strange when she saw the solemn look on his face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead.
"Your Majesty, just say whatever you want. How can Mei Niang not obey you?"
Li Zhi took a deep breath and said: "From now on, you will handle government affairs on my behalf and write memorials."
A sound as subtle as the sound of mosquitoes clenching fists suddenly sounded, and Wu Meiniang couldn't help but look at Gao Lishi outside the hall and frowned slightly.
Gao Lishi's throat rolled, and he looked at the handsome man beside him, not daring to make the slightest move, with that indifferent expression on his face.
The next moment, Yuan Tiangang's figure disappeared here instantly.
Wu Meiniang was a little confused. Did she hear it wrong just now?
"Mei Niang, are you listening to me?"
Wu Meiniang nodded after reacting, but then she was stunned. What did Li Zhi just say? Let her take care of government affairs?
Li Zhi rubbed Wu Meiniang's palms and said seriously: "I need to rest for a while. It is really inconvenient to handle the affairs of the court. I will leave the affairs of the court to you for the time being."
"This...concubine...I..." My beautiful lady has always been decisive, but at this time she was obviously hesitant.
Although she is different from the former master of the harem and has intervened in government affairs early, in the end it is Li Zhi who makes the decision and she only makes suggestions.
She likes power, and she even likes to dominate the world, but she never imagined that one day she would be entrusted with taking charge of the country's political affairs!
Wu Meiniang bit her lips lightly, and she couldn't help but feel eager to give it a try, but as a woman, the master of the harem was already in power. If she broke the etiquette, or even the bottom line, what would she do in the future?
For a time, two mentalities settled in her heart, and she didn't know how to choose.
If everyone in the court is now hers, then it's okay, nothing will happen no matter what, but the problem is that the Xuantian Sect has not been in a hurry to send people to the court recently.
On the contrary, they have been in big trouble recently. Several garrison points were dug out and destroyed by Di Renjie, resulting in hundreds of casualties among the followers.
"Alas!" When the words came to her lips, Wu Meiniang sighed tangledly and said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I can do it as a concubine, but I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, it will delay political affairs."
Li Zhi saw a hint of desire in Wu Meiniang's eyes, and encouraged him after a moment: "It's not like you are in charge for the time being. Meiniang, I understand you."
"Whether it is talent, knowledge, or courage, you are not inferior to me. In the past few years, you have been so familiar with me from the rear, so handling government affairs should be a no-brainer."
"Besides, have you forgotten that we still have a trump card? With him here, even if the sky falls! You don't have to be afraid!"
Wu Meiniang smiled bitterly, how could she not know that he was talking about Imperial Master Li Yunxiao.
"Your Majesty, that Imperial Master has an eccentric and elusive personality, and he is unwilling to contact me. You have known this for a long time. How can I get him to help me?"
Li Zhi shook his head: "How can the righteousness of the emperor and master be defined by helping each other? Don't worry, I believe he will not cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty."
Having said this, Li Zhi opened his arms to show himself.
"Look at me now half-dead, how can I take care of government affairs? No matter what, you have to help me get through this difficulty."
Wu Meiniang shook her head: "Then why don't you go directly and let the Imperial Master handle the government affairs."
"he?!"
"I can't figure out his temperament. If something urgent suddenly happens and I give up my job, where can I find someone? Just follow him?"
Wu Meiniang was slightly startled. It seemed that Li Yunxiao could really do this.
Li Zhi also felt a little helpless in making this decision.
His eyes are a little blurry now, and the wind disease reminds him of his father from time to time, which makes him fearful. If he wants to be cured quickly, he can only practice cultivation.
But as the emperor, the great Tang Dynasty cannot be left empty and unattended, right?
But to whom? Prince Li Hong?
He is only eight years old, and his body is almost the same as when he was a child. Now that he is shouldering a heavy burden, even if there is an imperial master around him, the consequences will inevitably be the same as his.
The rest of the royal family?
He couldn't guard against it. His old Li family had never lacked ambitious people, and Li Yunxiao had also taught him that not only his old Li family, but also the world had no shortage of ambitious people.
Favorite prime minister Li Yifu?
This guy has a smooth tone, so he can be used as a gun, but if this gun is pointed at him in the future, wouldn't he be the second Changsun Wuji?
Once bitten by a snake, he has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. This thing must never happen to him again.
So now, except for the Mei Niang who has been with him day and night for nearly twenty years, there is really no one available.
Seeing that Wu Meiniang was still hesitating, Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes and lay quietly on the dragon chair.
"If you really find it difficult, then let it be like this. You will handle the ordinary government affairs, you will criticize the memorials, and if you encounter major national affairs, you will discuss it with me."
Wu Meiniang thought for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
Seeing her consent, Li Zhi smiled and nodded, and the two of them went to the training room together.
....
Inside Chang'an Tai Chi Palace.
Li Yunxiao has also received news that Sijie, Tongluo and other troops are causing chaos.
At this time, he was looking up at the stars with his hands behind his back.
Sijie and Tongluo were different from Goryeo. In his eyes, Goryeo were foreigners, but Sijie and Tongluo were not.
"Li Yifu, tell me, did I make a mistake? Did I ask His Majesty to destroy Baekje, which prompted their desire to rebel..."
Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Everything the commander-in-chief did was for the better development of Datang. How could he have done something wrong?"
"It's just that those barbarians didn't understand the gift of the commander-in-chief and chose to die just for the immediate benefit!"
Li Yunxiao glanced at his palm.
He had promised Li Chunfeng that he would not let his hands occupy the blood of the Manchus, but if he didn't, how could he talk about the road to peace in the world?
"Li Yifu."
"My subordinate is here!"
"Gather the bad guys scattered around and gather outside Chang'an. I want to conquer them myself!"
"Uh... Commander, just leave these matters to your subordinates. You..."
"Do you have any questions about my decision?"
Li Yifu's throat rolled: "I don't dare, I will call for you now."
After Li Yifu left, Li Yunxiao stared at the bright moonlight and murmured to himself.
"It seems that we still have to carve the shadow into the hearts of those people again! More than ten years have passed, and they have forgotten how the Turks were wiped out in the first place!"
"Emperor Master, Emperor Master~~"
After Li Hong saw Li Yifu going out, he quickly ran in.
"Master Imperial, are you going to fight?"
As the supervisor here, Li Hong knows a lot although he is young.
Li Yunxiao nodded: "Why, do you want to go?"
Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then said with firm eyes: "I want to!"
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and rubbed Li Hong's head: "Do you know how the leader will be defined if you go this time?"
Li Hong nodded: "I know, they practice tyranny and hide hidden dangers, but they are the ones causing trouble, so what do we care about?"
Li Yunxiao nodded: "You boy can be taught. Since you want to practice martial arts and become a general, I will teach you a few words today. You must keep them in mind."
"Hong'er would like to listen to the emperor's words."
