"Come in and sit down, won't you?" Yuan Ziyan invited with a smile.

Li Ji had a hint of surprise on his face, but he still asked hesitantly: "Lonely men and widows, I'm afraid it will damage Ziyan's reputation." ”

"Hey, you and I were originally husband and wife, and now we are good friends, and we are not afraid of shadows, why not?"

Yuan Ziyan walked into the door as he spoke, Li Ji naturally followed closely, and there was naturally the eyeliner of the eldest grandson Wuji staring at the door outside the door, and he reported this situation.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and secretly scolded Yuan Ziyan for not abiding by women's morals, and he didn't know how to avoid it late at night, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the two important ministers of the court discussing important matters, so he had to order people to pay close attention, and it was best to catch their handles.

The candlelight in the house elongated the figures in the room and reflected them on the window, and everyone who came and went could clearly see the fact that the two were chatting opposite each other, and there was no misconduct.

"Hey, time is like a sword, and the purple smoke is still as beautiful as a flower, I am ashamed of myself and dare not look at it directly." Li Ji made a rare joke lightly.

Yuan Ziyan giggled and sighed: "Yes, those old faces are gone. I just said that Wei Chigong was honest, and he didn't know how to scheming, but in fact, he was a big slippery head when he looked at him now. When the first emperor was there, he was sick at home, raising birds, planting flowers, listening to songs and dancing, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was even more at ease, uninvited. ”

"Jingde had a great friendship with the first emperor, and the death of the first emperor made him unhappy, so he was addicted to singing and dancing and did not want to come back." Li Ji sighed slightly, and said: "Ziyan's appearance has not changed, and Biting Jin is also an ageless naughty boy, and he is also in the capital at this time. ”

"That's right, the first emperor died. Biting Jin was ordered to lead the royal guards to escort Zhi'er back to the palace to ascend the throne, and he has not been seen again, where is he at this time? Yuan Ziyan asked.

"The new emperor ascends the throne. There is a lot of turmoil, just in case, at this time the bite of Jin is guarding outside the Zuo Yanming Gate, it is said that the clothes are not untied, the axe does not leave the hand, and the smell is unbearable. ”

After Li Ji finished speaking, he and Yuan Ziyan both laughed. After laughing, his heart was also a little sour, only the loyal ministers would protect the new monarch like this.

"Mao Gong. Xue Rengui has a good character, you usually pay more attention to him, and if you have the opportunity, you will also be promoted. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Obey the will of the national teacher." Li Ji arched his hand with a straight face, and Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but laugh again. This guy didn't have a sense of humor at all when he was younger. How did you get old, but instead you became funny and cute.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he also made a series of measures to benefit the country and the people. In August, a severe earthquake struck Hedong, and thousands of people were crushed to death by collapsed houses because most of the people were sleeping at the time of the incident, and the aftershocks continued, and the people were terrified. Soon, rumors spread from the people, saying that the first emperor was wise. And the new emperor seems to be unable to control this prosperous age, but I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty is going downhill.

As the so-called human words are terrifying, although Li Zhi was angry with the rumor-mongers, he couldn't ignore this kind of thing, so he convened the ministers to discuss. Due to Yuan Ziyan's noble status, he was given a phoenix chair, and then under Li Zhi's repeated requests, he moved to the left side of the dragon chair, which made the eldest grandson Wuji and others very unhappy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Hedong earthquake, endless disasters, the displacement of people, and many rumors, what should we do?" Li Zhi asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty!"

"Wait!" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, Yuan Ziyan waved his hand to stop him, turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and encouraged: "Your Majesty, you are no longer the prince who relied on the ministers at the beginning, this kind of thing is not difficult to handle, you should have an idea yourself." ”

"But Zhi'er is afraid that he will say the wrong thing and attract ridicule from everyone." Li Zhi whispered to Yuan Ziyan with a bitter face.

Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly, got up slowly, and asked in a loud voice: "People are not sages, and they are not afraid of right and wrong. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" I don't know what the situation is, so I immediately complimented in unison.

Li Zhi was encouraged, cleared his throat, and said: "Disasters have fallen from heaven, there is nowhere to live, there is no food to know, and the people are naturally frightened. I thought that the tax could be exempted for three years, so that the people could recuperate, and the dead and wounded would be given financial cloth and silk relief. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The eldest grandson Wuji burst into tears with excitement, and took the lead in shouting, Li Zhi was very happy, looked at Yuan Ziyan, and saw that she also nodded at herself.

"Mother-in-law, is what Zhi'er said right?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it's good." Yuan Ziyan praised it first, but after a change of words, he changed to a serious expression, and said: "These can solve the material worries of the people, but the panic in my heart is even worse, according to what I see, the important ministers of the court should be sent to replace Your Majesty to comfort the people." As long as the people regain their confidence in earthquake relief, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Good, good!" Li Zhi slapped his palms a few times, nodded and said, "It's still the stepmother who is thoughtful, but I don't know who to send better?" ”

"It's good for Your Majesty to have an idea, but it should be more suitable for a high-ranking old minister." Yuan Ziyan glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji a few times as he spoke, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately turned cold and lowered his head.

However, Li Zhi still named the eldest grandson Wuji to go to comfort the affected people as a condolence messenger on behalf of the emperor. In any case, this is also a matter of immeasurable merit, although the eldest grandson Wuji secretly complained, he had to bow and accept the order.

The people are very dissatisfied, and they have a lot of distrust in the new emperor, and this time they go not only to express condolences, but also to persuade each other with good words and be patient and enlightened, which will definitely take a lot of words.

The fact is also the same, and it is more serious than the eldest grandson Wuji imagined, there have been several small-scale rebellions in many disaster areas, and the eldest grandson Wuji is very busy, but he still does not forget to inquire about the affairs of the imperial court.

Li Zhi attaches great importance to the relationship between brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother Li Chengqian rebelled, and it was not good to rehabilitate his father just after he died, but Li Zhi treated his nephew very well, and named Li Xiang as the Taishou of Qichun County, and gave it to the governor of Yuezhou, and he was named the Duke of Xunguo. There is also Li Tai, and later Li Shimin forgave him in the end, and he was named King Pu, and Li Zhi rewarded him richly, whether it was from the food and clothing and the travel vehicles, it was extremely luxurious. It's just that Li Tai is ashamed, and he has no intention of enjoying these things, so he is still depressed every day, and he died of illness three years later.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, who has always been unwilling, was crowned as Sikong and Liangzhou Assassin, which is tantamount to a beautiful turnaround, but Li Ke does not think that Li Zhi cares about his brotherhood, but deliberately humiliates him, overrides his brother, and forces his brother to bow to him and thank him.

is not only alive, Li Zhi is also very thoughtful, and those who have passed away, such as Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, and Qu Tutong, have been posthumously gifted. Because they were all the people who their father relied on the most during his lifetime, and they were also the people on the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Li Zhi also treated them well, so that they could all be sacrificed in Taizong Temple, which was the highest honor after death as a minister.

Li Zhi's series of measures, so that the old ministers and their descendants and their families feel warm, and the newcomers are promoted and reused, are also happy, in Yuan Ziyan, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and Li Jicheng bite the gold and other people's strong support, Li Zhi soon sat firmly on the dragon chair, has been widely recognized by the people of the world.

There are also vassal states to present rare treasures, the most special is the Tocharian sacrifice of the big bird, the appearance is similar to the ostrich, the call is high and powerful, colorful feathers, the stomach is excellent, can melt copper and iron.

Li Zhi is a young man, so he naturally likes it very much, but thinking that his father had never seen this kind of big bird before his death, he reluctantly sent this bird to Zhaoling. This move moved the courtiers, who praised Li Zhi as the first person to be loyal and filial to the king.

Compared with Li Shimin, who is good at war and victorious, Li Zhi concentrates on domestic economic development, which makes the people full of confidence in the continuation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After the first lively New Year after Li Zhi's accession to the throne, he ended the Zhenguan era name and changed the era name to Yonghui. Under the pressure of the ministers, in the end, the concubine Wang was set up as the queen, the Xiao family, who gave birth to children for him, was the concubine, and the prince Chen Wang was the pastor of Yongzhou, and all major events were decided.

No matter how much hustle and bustle will be quiet, Li Zhi gradually got used to his identity as an emperor, and while valuing love and righteousness, it is difficult to say that he used the art of trade-off.

"Mother-in-law, Gao Yang and his father were estranged during their lifetime, and now that his father has died, Gao Yang has lost his support, and he must be very depressed in his heart." On this day, Li Zhi consulted with Yuan Ziyan.

"Hmph, above your father's funeral, Gao Yang didn't even shed a tear, such a big unfilial daughter, it doesn't matter what she thinks." When it came to this stubble, Yuan Ziyan was full of unhappiness.

"At the beginning, my father severely punished the debate machine, and Gao Yang couldn't think about it for a while." Li Zhi hurriedly defended his little sister.

"Gao Yang and Debater have only known each other for a few years? But she forgot that she grew up next to your father, is it not as good as a few days of friendship with a monk for more than 20 years? Yuan Ziyan snorted and said, "I don't think your father is right to do this, after all, the punishment is too cruel, and it is unfair to the debater." But Gao Yang did things extremely, and he bumped into your father several times and made him feel cold, which is what Gao Yang is not. ”

"Hehe, it's all strange that Zhi'er is confused, and I mentioned the sadness of my stepmother again." Li Zhi actually wanted Yuan Ziyan to accompany him to visit Gao Yang in the house, so that the relationship between the brothers and sisters could be restored to the same state.

But now it seems that the grudge between Yuan Ziyan and Princess Gaoyang has also deepened and cannot be reconciled, so she went by herself later. Gao Yang was also very sad about the death of her father, but her husband Fang Yiai kept sowing discord in her ears, and she was a straight person, so the misunderstanding became bigger and bigger, causing irreparable regrets for life.

Fang Yiai's love did not play a good role between Li Shimin and Princess Gaoyang, and he was very weak-hearted, but for him, Li Shimin's death meant that the original page was turned over, and he smiled happily every day.

However, after a few days of happiness, Fang Yiai couldn't laugh anymore, because he suddenly found that his eldest brother didn't like him very much, just like his father-in-law, although his tone was polite, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was just the surface, and it was all in front of Princess Gaoyang.
