In the end, Li Zhi relented and said the words of entrustment.
Wu Meiniang nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, take the medicine first."
After taking the medicine, Li Hong was also taken out by Liu Shenwei, and the others also left, leaving only Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.
The two didn't say anything, but they both knew what they were thinking.
When going to court on the second day.
The civil and military ministers all seemed worried, but surprisingly, they usually discussed some things or chatted before going to court.
But it seemed extremely quiet today, and no one dared to discuss Li Zhi's condition.
As Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang took their seats, the eunuch announced the start of the court meeting. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Wu Meiniang walked out directly from behind the bead curtain!
Although the bead curtain can't block anything and is just a decoration, it is etiquette and rules after all, and it has been an insurmountable gap for many years.
Now in front of all the officials, Wu Meiniang walked out openly, which made the ministers a little stunned.
Forgetting the etiquette of bowing their heads, everyone stared at this woman stupidly.
Under everyone's doubtful eyes, Wu Meiniang walked down the steps and knelt directly in front of Li Zhi.
"Uh, this?"
All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what kind of drama this was.
Wu Meiniang lowered her head, took out a memorial book from her arms, and presented it with both hands.
"I have something to report to you!"
Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang below calmly. He didn't know about this matter, and he had never discussed it with Wu Meiniang at all. It was not a show.
But he almost guessed in his mind what she was going to do.
Wu Meiniang lowered her head and glanced sideways at Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi's throat rolled and he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi closed his eyes, and then Gao Lishi stepped forward to take it and began to read it out.
"I have heard that women cannot participate in politics. A man's way is to lead outside, and a woman's way is to serve inside."
"I have many misdeeds. I am neither knowledgeable nor virtuous. Because Your Majesty was in poor physical health, I reluctantly participated in political affairs and served the king at court, but made many mistakes."
"There have been people talking about Kuang Chao and Ye for a long time, saying that he is humble, lives in the palace secretly, is jealous and ungrateful, and his relatives are arrogant."
"No matter what I say, it is difficult for everyone to agree, but natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. It may be due to changes in the stars, and we should study the theory of yin and yang."
"The world is out of order, the internal and external are out of order, and the world is in turmoil. All of them are here. Therefore, I invite you and I invite you..."
After thinking about this, Gao Lishi raised his head and glanced at Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.
Li Zhi said calmly: "Continue!"
Gao Lishi's throat rolled and he continued:
"I have asked you to relinquish your position in the palace to serve your mother as a filial piety. I hope that your majesty will search for orchids and hui to match the holy virtues and form the power of yin and yang to bless all living beings."
After saying this, there was an uproar in Tai Chi Hall.
The queen deposed herself? !
Is this a dream? how can that be possible? Misheard?
Gao Lishi was also confused and looked at the memorial in a daze.
He had been following Wu Meiniang for nearly twenty years, causing many officials to look down their noses, and many even wanted to kill him, a bitch who clings to the dragon and the phoenix.
If Wu Meiniang quits at this time, wouldn't that mean...
Doesn't it mean that his mission is completed and he can find a boss or become a small boss?
Ha ha ha ha! !
When he thought of this, Gao Lishi suppressed his excitement and lowered his head with a serious expression.
He was happy, but the civil and military officials would not admit it!
The meaning behind these words is that these ministers have been listening to her, Wu Meiniang, and presiding over the affairs of the state over the past few years.
To put it too much, it means that everyone from the emperor to the officials are puppets manipulated by her!
If he admitted it, wouldn't he be recorded in the annals of Confucian history? Wouldn't they be infamy for eternity?
Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair and sighed, and couldn't help but think to himself, Mei Niang, Mei Niang, you are really good at playing!
Nowadays, there are many things going on, and his Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty is away all year round, and he cannot contact Yuan Tiangang, the bad handsome man. At this time, he gives up the position of the queen, leaving behind him, the sick emperor, and the sick prince. Isn't it just a matter of time to catch the duck?
Although he felt uncomfortable, Li Zhi knew that Wu Meiniang wanted to give him a real status, a status of managing government affairs.
As for what he said about changing the queen, how could he change it?
Which concubine in the harem was not controlled and obeyed by her? Who dares to take her place?
More importantly, regardless of Shude, who has the courage and wisdom like her?
Without these two things, what use would Li Zhi have for them now? As a vase?
Besides, even if he is willing to abolish Wu Meiniang, how can they agree to it when his children are adults?
This is like putting him on the fire...
"Have you thought it through?" (Can you please stop making trouble?)
Li Zhi stared at Wu Meiniang on the dragon chair and asked.
Wu Meiniang was unmoved when she heard this and just knelt there straight.
It wasn't that Wu Meiniang had to force Li Zhi, but the past events forced her to take precautions.
She could no longer believe Li Zhi's verbal promises and entrustments.
For the sake of the reputation of the so-called Second Saint, she greeted everyone with a smile. Whenever she was pregnant and recuperating, Li Zhi would eliminate her cronies and create a group of enemies for her.
It can be said that the two have been fighting over the years, and neither one will accept the other's fight!
A few years ago, Li Zhi almost won, and Shangguan Yi almost killed her. Among the civil servants in the court now, which one is not more powerful than Shangguan Yi?
Now, except for Wu Minzhi, who has fallen into her hands, and Gao Lishi and Li Yifu, who have been with her for more than ten years, the rest are not her own.
As for the Xuantian Sect, although some have been resettled in the peripheral states and counties, they have not yet penetrated deep into the palace and cannot help her, and she does not trust them 100%.
She likes power, and the feeling of having power is very addictive.
So now, she must let Li Zhi express his stance in front of all the civil and military officials of the court!
While Li Zhi was struggling, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I think this matter is unacceptable!"
In full view of everyone, Li Yifu stood up.
The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth quirked up slightly.
Li Yifu bowed his hands and stood in the center of the hall.
"The Queen is a virtuous and virtuous person. She holds the title of honor in the court. She is a favor to the common people. As the master of the harem, she assists Your Majesty and is connected to the country. She should be admired both internally and externally. How can she be abandoned so easily?"
He, Li Yifu, could be said to be a veteran of two dynasties. Although he didn't understand Li Shimin, he understood Li Zhi.
This is Li Zhi's hesitation disease again. He wants fame and control, and he still has to use others. How can he take advantage of all the good things in the world.
It would definitely be embarrassing to say this from the emperor, but it was different when Li Yifu said it.
It is equivalent to giving Li Zhi a step up in disguise, and also giving Wu Meiniang a step up.
After Li Zhi heard this, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, what Li Yifu said is right. The master of the harem cannot easily abolish him."
"I am ill and need a queen, the country also needs a queen, and the prince also needs a queen!"
After saying this, everyone knew what Li Zhi meant. If he didn't express his position at this time, he would be against Wu Meiniang!
All the people present, except for a few ministers, all echoed loudly, asking Wu Meiniang to put Sheji first and speak for Sheji.
Wu Meiniang still lowered her head, but her eyes were extremely bright.
This is all what they said themselves, she did not force any ministers!
Wu Meiniang prostrated on the ground: "This is the holy will, how dare I disobey it?"
When this happened, Wu Meiniang used retreat to advance, consolidating her position and power in the government.
But at the same time, while she enjoyed her rights, she also shouldered greater responsibilities.
Natural disasters, people suffering, neighboring neighboring countries are watching eagerly. In the west, there are Tubo rebellions one after another, and in the east, there are some surviving people who have subjugated their country.
Next, she knew that she would have greater challenges!
