Li Dan glanced at Yuan Tiangang and spread his hands towards Wu Zhao: "Mother, you can go and rest. Don't give in. I am young and have plenty of energy."
Wu Zhao stepped forward and straightened Li Dan's clothes, and said with a serious face: "My mother is not kidding you."
"In the past, my mother committed a lot of murders. At that time, she was either forced by the situation or needed to eliminate dissidents and establish her authority. Now, my mother has ascended to the supreme throne, and all people in the world are my subjects."
"In this way, I should be kind to the world and hope to make up for it."
"If there is a theory of cause and effect, killing will inevitably lead to evil retribution, and I will bear this evil consequence for the world now in order to have peace of mind."
Li Dan shook his head vigorously: "Mother, I know that since ancient times, emperors have always resorted to war when they succeeded to the throne."
"The Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty conquered the world and fought for nearly twenty years. In the Battle of Taizong Hulao, there were countless killings and corpses everywhere. Even Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, who had the easiest way to conquer the world, still had chaos in three directions."
"I know that my mother wants everyone to remember you well, but even so, you can't do this to your body, right?"
"No need to say it." Wu Zhao said lightly: "Compared with them, what my mother has done is nothing."
After the words fell, Wu Zhao stood up and left.
Li Dan glanced at his mother's back and shook his head.
"Forget it, let's go, I can't sleep anymore, go take a look."
Yuan Tiangang nodded and followed Li Dan.
Shangyang Palace is not too far from Taichu Palace, but after all, it is across Luoshui. If you travel by car, it will still take a while.
At this time, the night was still dark and the fog was so thick that the guards' torches could not shine very far.
In the car, Wu Zhao was wearing a coat, and his eyes were not tired at all.
Li Dan also sat inside wearing his coat, and the two of them were speechless.
Yuan Tiangang, on the other hand, followed closely behind the carriage on horseback.
Wu Zhao glanced at Li Dan and handed over his coat.
"It's cold in the early spring, and you don't practice martial arts. Just put it on. Mom has the internal strength to hold on, so it's okay."
Li Dan waved his hand and refused. He was not a child, so how could he have so many things going on? Besides, he wasn't too cold.
Wu Zhao smiled lightly and put his clothes back on his body.
Looking at the full moon through the carriage window, Wu Zhao had many things hidden in his heart.
Time flies so fast, one moment to the next, and now her identity has changed, and she is already an upright emperor.
The way we act must be changed.
Since ancient times, kings have established the world with virtue, and with such a clear example as Li Yunxiao, she can definitely follow her example.
Even though some of her deeds had been recorded in the Yongzhen Ceremony, she did not refute it.
But whether it is to current people or future generations, would it sound good to her, Wu Zhao, for being known as a cruel person?
She was the one who supported the cool officials she was more happy with before, and she was the one who helped them achieve great power. Now, she was looking for an opportunity to slowly settle the matter.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the car gradually increased.
Approaching Shangyang Palace, there would be a Yulin army specialized in armor. Not long after, a voice came, making Wu Zhao slightly startled.
"Didn't I ask you to rest? Why did you come here early again?"
What greeted them were Gao Lishi and Shangguan Wan'er day after day.
Gao Lishi bowed his hands and saluted: "I have been serving your Majesty for many years, and I have long been used to it. I can't sleep when I go back."
"It's windy and foggy tonight. If I don't personally welcome you back, how can I feel relieved..."
Li Dan tugged on his long coat, leaned against the carriage door and said happily:
"No wonder my mother never changed eunuchs while she kept you. You are really good at talking and doing well. When the court is over, I will reward you. Bah, bah, bah, it's the prince who wants to reward you!"
Li Dan knew some of the bad guys in Thirty-Six Tiangang, but he didn't know about the bad guys in Disha, and Li Yunxiao didn't let Yuan Tiangang tell him.
Gao Lishi, a bad guy from Earth, had served Wu Zhao for decades. Apart from passing on some information to Li Yunxiao outside, he was also considered loyal.
Now it is even more worthy of the title, Wu Zhao's first confidant eunuch, no one can replace him!
Following Li Dan's words, Wu Zhao smiled lightly and said: "Okay, since Dan'er wants to reward you, then I will reward you with a mansion in Luoyang, and you will be my chamberlain from now on!"
Granted a mansion and the status of a chamberlain?
Chamberlains are from the fourth rank, and most of them are served by the descendants of the nobles. This is not a light weight!
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness!"
Gao Lishi must have had no shortage of money over the years, let alone food and drink. The more of these things, the merrier, he would definitely not resent it.
Of course, when accepting it, he also secretly glanced at Yuan Tiangang. If Yuan Tiangang didn't let him accept it, he would definitely refuse.
Fortunately, it was as if Yuan Tiangang didn't exist, and he wasn't even where his head was facing.
Wu Zhao waved his hand: "Okay, since we are here, let's lead the way from the front."
"By the way, I would like to ask the soldiers to keep quiet. I am afraid that ministers have already entered the palace at this moment. If they hear about it and come to see you, you must not come out to salute."
"Those guys are no match for me. It's freezing in the early spring, so don't let them freeze and cause trouble."
Yuan Tiangang spoke slowly at this time: "It's rare for you to have such a considerate heart..."
Wu Zhao said calmly: "There are still many things I can do. It's almost the same as you, I think it's about the same."
Yuan Tiangang's methods were much more powerful than Wu Zhao's, and he sometimes killed innocent people in vain. He didn't say anything when he heard what the other party said.
Li Dan took a deep breath and said, "How about I go out and buy two swords for you, and then you two go to the imperial city to discuss swords!"
When Wu Zhao heard this, it didn't matter. He knew that Li Dan was acting as a middleman.
But Yuan Tiangang was stunned when he heard this. Why are these words so familiar? He's heard it before!
"Your Highness, this is..."
Li Dan smiled and said: "Of course it was the Imperial Master who taught me. He said, if you two don't get along, then let me tell you to go out and discuss swords."
Yuan Tiangang slowly shook his head, this was really his style.
After the words fell, no one spoke. Only a few cavalry escorts quietly entered the palace gate, and no one paid much attention to them in the fog.
There are few guards because there is Yuan Tiangang, an unfathomable person beside him.
Now Li Dan is also in the car. If he is in danger, Li Dan will definitely protect Wu Zhao, and he, Yuan Tiangang, will naturally protect Li Dan.
Less than half an hour later.
When Mao hour arrives, the bells and drums chime, announcing the start of the court meeting that happens every other day!
Except for some officials and prime ministers accompanied by Chang'an, the remaining officials of fifth rank and above all walked into Zhenguan Hall one after another and stood still.
Before they could shout long live, all the ministers were stunned.
Wu Zhao was dressed in a yellow robe and sat steadily on the dragon chair, with a peaceful demeanor and a calm demeanor.
With a straight back and a pair of phoenix eyebrows, he looks calm and confident. Who would have thought that this is someone who hasn't slept for two days in a row?
What surprised them was not this, but that there was an extra chair on the far right side against the wall, and Li Dan was sitting there calmly...
