Marriage among middle-aged people is mostly a sigh.
The marriage of Tianjia couples is more than a sigh. For thousands of years, there are only a handful of Tianjia couples who are truly in love. Most of them are parents and matchmakers. They make do with each other for a lifetime, and some live forever. .
Li Zhi and Empress Wu are relatively unusual couples among the Tian family. They get together because of love and stay apart because of profit.
Not everyone's youth was fed to dogs. In fact, most of them are very regretful, regretful that things and people have changed, and regretful that they are drifting away.
When Li Zhi was not a scumbag, he had also truly loved Empress Wu. During that time, the two of them were indeed in love with each other, and they both looked forward to a life of love and never let each other down.
When did a couple become distant?
Neither he nor she can remember clearly. Perhaps there is something more worthy of pursuit than love in the world.
Li Zhi rarely showed his true feelings, but quickly recovered his emotions.
Just like youth, some things are gone forever and can never be repeated.
We are so unfamiliar with each other now that we almost no longer recognize each other. Isn’t it ridiculous for the Imperial Family to recall the past?
"I know about the wings you have cultivated in the court over the years, but I pretend not to know. When I deposed the king and queen, I guess you also have a big shadow, right?"
Li Zhi smiled sarcastically: "You are worried that you will become the next queen, so you need the wings of the court to support you and become a force that I have to be afraid of?"
Empress Wu fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "I don't dare to have such an idea. Just sitting in the position of the queen, there are many things that I can't help myself. I really can't refuse my flattery..."
Li Zhi closed his eyes, his expression as cold as ice.
Empress Wu wiped away her tears and looked up inadvertently. Seeing the expression on Li Zhi's face, her heart sank.
At this moment, he was no longer the husband who was loving her from ear to ear. At this moment, he was a high-ranking emperor, the real dragon emperor who moved the clouds and spread the rain.
After a long time, Li Zhi said slowly: "Since you are the master of the harem, you can control the harem peacefully from now on."
Empress Wu responded sadly.
She knew the implication.
The rear party in the court disappeared from now on.
The only good news is that Li Zhi seems to have given up on the plan to depose the queen. She is still the current queen, but from now on, she dare not stretch her hands too far.
The price paid for poisoning a Wei lady was too heavy.
Empress Wu's heart was filled with deep regret at this moment.
Li Zhi's cold expression gradually relaxed, and he even smiled at her.
"There has been a lot of discussion between the government and the public recently. If we let it go, I might damage the dignity of the Tian family. I plan to hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to have fun with the ministers. Is the queen willing to accompany me?"
Empress Wu felt secretly in her heart that it was another scene of love between husband and wife, but she had to cooperate.
"I am willing to have a banquet with His Majesty and all the ministers."
Li Zhi's expression became gentler: "Very good, the ground is very cold. Queen, please straighten yourself and sit next to me..."
Empress Wu's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
For the first time, she felt three-thirds of fear from the bottom of her heart towards this man.
…………
Early the next morning, Duan Baoxuan, the minister of Dali Temple, suddenly issued an arrest order, and the officers were ordered to rush into the residence of Li Yifu, the governor of Hejian County, and take Li Yifu away.
The whole city was in an uproar, and the government and the public were shocked!
There was no warning in advance, and the heat over Mrs. Wei's death had only subsided a little when Li Yifu was suddenly taken away by Dali Temple.
It is worth mentioning that some onlookers saw with their own eyes that when Li Yifu was escorted out of the mansion, his arms were tied behind his back.
This detail is very important. Without conclusive evidence, Dali Temple would never have been so rude to an imperial prince before being formally sentenced.
Once Dali Temple does this, it means that they have mastered the evidence. The evidence is so ironclad that Li Yifu will not be able to uncover it until his death.
At the same time that Li Yifu was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, the Right Prime Minister Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Punishment Liu Xiangdao, the Dali Temple Minister Duan Baoxuan, and the Xitai Palace Attendant Liu Rengui jointly signed the detention order.
Two ministers, four chief ministers, the minister of Honglu Temple, the young minister of Taichang Temple, the young eunuch of the inner palace, and eight supervisory censors, a total of thirty-two officials were arrested and imprisoned together.
The courtiers were shocked, and when they thought carefully about the identities and backgrounds of the officials being questioned, they couldn't help but take a breath.
They all have close contacts with the Queen and Li Yifu, and can even be said to be members of the "back party".
He dared to purge all the members of the rear party on the same day. With Xu Jingzong's behavior, this old fox would never dare to commit suicide like this without the emperor's will. What's more, the order for questioning was jointly signed by the prime minister and the chief of the Three Laws Department. Decisions made together.
This is clearly the emperor's intention to purge the rear party and suppress the rear party forces in the court.
Silently, without warning, and suddenly swept away with the force of thunder, this is very consistent with the emperor's behavior.
So, does the emperor really have the desire to abolish the queen?
Obviously, the consequences of the death of Mrs. Wei were very serious. The emperor was truly angry, and even someone as noble as the queen could not withstand the power of thunder.
After being shocked, the courtiers suddenly realized the danger involved, so they kept silent. Even in their own mansions, they did not dare to discuss the palace in private.
Nowadays, the right prime minister and the three ministers are wielding big sticks to take people everywhere. It would be unjust if they were inexplicably involved in this scandal because of their bad mouth.
Just when the people of the government and the public were secretly speculating that the emperor might be deposed, the night when Li Yifu and other prisoners were interrogated and sent to prison, the gate of Taiji Palace was opened wide, and the emperor and the queen entertained the ministers, and the emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together.
The invited courtiers entered the palace with trepidation. When they saw the emperor and the queen appearing side by side at the palace banquet, smiling and accepting the worship of courtiers and envoys from foreign countries, they were stunned again.
Didn’t you say abolishing the queen? Why are you so loving again? Logically speaking, it would be normal for the Tian family couple to be pulling each other's hair and spitting in each other's faces in the harem at this time.
Sure enough, God's will is unpredictable, especially the mysterious love of the Tian family.
…………
Ganjingzhuang has returned to its previous calm.
Li Qinzai crossed his legs and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.
Jin Xiang stayed with him, completely ignoring the expressions of the passing servants who were snickering and chewing sugar.
After being married by Li Qinzai, Jin Xiang gradually got used to the lifestyle in the mansion, including the couple's intimacy in public.
My husband is shameless, so what’s the use of this shame?
Fall, be artificial.
"There was someone in the palace yesterday. His Majesty invited my husband to return to Chang'an to attend the palace banquet tonight. Why did my husband refuse to go because he was sick?" Jin Xiang asked softly and sweetly in his ear. His gentle and sweet breath made Li Qinzai's ears tingle. Itchy.
If it hadn't been for the excessive killing last night and the loss of one billion elite soldiers, she should have been taken into the room at this moment and given a severe lesson.
By the way, in order to get pregnant recently, this woman has been so crazy that she treats her husband like a beast. No donkey in the production team has ever been so tired.
