Nearly noon, a group of ministers of the southern province supported the imperial heir Li Dan and arrived outside the Xishang Cabinet.

The West Pavilion is located on the west side of the Great Inner Zhenguan Hall, and does not belong to the formal pilgrimage occasion, so the space around the hall is not too large, and the main body of the hall is not much idle space with the chamber halls to be made on both sides.

But this time the summons was destined to be sensitive, and both sides were vigilant, so long before the arrival of the imperial heir, Li Tong summoned a thousand elites of the Northern Ya Imperial Forest Army to set up a defense here, and he and Zuo Yulin's general Lu Chongyu were divided into internal and external custody.

As for the imperial heir and his entourage entering the palace to see him, the risk he took was undoubtedly greater, so he carried more soldiers. When the imperial heir and his entourage arrived at the gate of the Inner Palace, there were more than 2,000 people from the Southern Yajia.

This should be all the mobile forces that the Southern Ya can mobilize in the forbidden at the moment, after all, although there are many Southern Yawei Mansions, the soldiers are also stationed inside and outside, and the area that needs to be prevented and controlled is much larger, far less centralized and flexible than the Northern Ya.

Although last night's incident mainly occurred between the imperial palace and a limited number of squares, all the gates of the Shendu must be effectively controlled. Coupled with Jin Wuwei, who is the main force of the city defense, there is still chaos at the moment.

Wu Yizong, the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, is smart, he didn't leave the workshop at all last night, and he is still trapped in the official office of Qinghua Fang, and there are estimated that there are nearly 2,000 Jinwuwei soldiers around him, and he is still confronting the Suyue army athletes outside the fang. This requires the ban to be lowered and killed after reaching a consensus and resolution.

The Quannan stationed at the gate of Daye was ordered by the king to allow 1,000 soldiers from Nanya to enter the palace. This is just to ask for peace of mind with each other, if the next negotiations really have to be resolved by fighting, the current Nanya is really not the opponent of the Beiya, but there is no reason to do so.

When the imperial heir and his entourage arrived at the West Upper Pavilion, the environment inevitably seemed even more cramped. There are more than 1,000 people on both sides, and it is easy for something to happen in this slightly crowded space.

Therefore, under the auspices of Li Zhaode, who had just been restored, the northern yajun occupied the area on the right and rear of the Xishang Pavilion, while the southern yajun stayed on the left side and the Zhenguan Palace. If any variables occur in the process, they can also ensure that each has a way out.

Li Tong stood on the inside of the imperial case in the palace and guarded his grandmother, and did not go out of the palace to greet the imperial heir. The whole process of swapping lasted more than a quarter of an hour, during which Li Tong heard his grandmother's sigh more than once.

Some of these sighs may be the sadness that mother and son can't see each other. But more, Li Tong felt that it should be the disappointment of his fourth uncle Li Dan.

Before meeting, such a careful arrangement was subconsciously putting himself on the opposite side of his mother, which would undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable to Li Dan's inheritance of his mother's political assets and prestige.

No matter what the situation was before, but now the mother and son are one, and they together represent the imperial power. But now it seems that Li Dan is not an assertive person, and he has already shown a hint of being at the mercy of others, and the coldness of the mother-son relationship is vividly expressed through such a detail.

Of course, Li Tong also understands that he can't blame his fourth uncle.

Whoever has been imprisoned and played with for such a long time, his wife has been tortured and killed, his relatives have been persecuted, and his own life is in danger, and it is his mother who has imposed a series of persecutions.

Just like that, after a while, Li Dan entered the hall under the arch of several ministers.

Li Tong saw that every time his fourth uncle took a step forward, his body was unconsciously rickety, and when he entered the hall, his head was already hanging deep on his chest, and he didn't look up at the empress sitting in the hall from beginning to end. As for his grandmother, the lines at the corners of her mouth were even more profound, and she glanced at Li Tong casually.

"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty the Holy Emperor."

After entering the hall, Li Dan bent down to worship, and several other ministers also bowed down and said, "The ministers see Your Majesty." ”

Wu Zetian sat in the hall, and waited until everyone finished worshipping, then raised his finger and pointed to the empty seat in the hall and said, "The emperor's heir is seated." ”

When Li Dan stepped into the table and sat down, Wu Zetian waved his hand and patted the imperial case, and said angrily: "Wait for the Qing, can you tell me that the King of Wei and others are using power to harm the government, and of course they will be punished." But the emperor's heir is in the garden, why should he forcibly disturb him? ”

Hearing Wu Zetian's sharp shout, the heartstrings of the ministers in the palace were shocked, and the imperial heir finally raised his head to look at his mother, and opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but after all, he still didn't say anything.

After a while, Di Renjie took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not taking advantage of the chaos to disturb you. The king of Wei and others are not among the people, the merit is not worthy of the country's grace, they are not respectful, they are not obedient, they are absurd, they are rude, and they are ignorant of righteousness. The Holy Emperor rules the world, why is the evil thief great? Tracing back to the source, it lies in the long-term emptiness of the Spring Palace.

The emperor's heir is the heir of the two saints, the spring and autumn are in full bloom, the ambition is long-term, and the filial piety is the best choice for the reserve. It should be inappropriate, deviate from people's expectations, and inevitably expose evil feelings! It is easy to remove the thief of the surface, and the root of the disaster must not be overlooked! Therefore, the ministers are knocking on the emperor's heirs and asking about state affairs, which is also related to the society, and it is definitely not a rude nuisance! ”

"What Di Shaoqing said, Juchen and other intentions, but His Majesty knows it!"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, the ministers who ascended the palace also answered one after another.

Hearing the voices of the ministers, Wu Zetian was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the imperial heir and said in a deep voice: "The imperial heir also thinks like this? ”

Li Dan subconsciously stood up, bent down and arched his hand: "The ministers, the ministers have been neglected for a long time, and they dare not talk about the national economy. However, the behavior of King Wei and others is so bad, although they have been banned for a long time, they have also heard of it. This time, the princes of the southern province and the clan are young and brave and punish the thief, Kuang supports the right way, and the minister does not dare to steal the merit from the United States, but if His Majesty wants to investigate the crime of uninvited, the minister and the son are willing to receive it, and only ask the mother not to see the sin of this bright and unstained chastity! ”

Hearing the emperor's answer, Wu Zetian's brows trembled subconsciously, and then he sneered: "I am the lord of the world, and the favor of personal feelings is not tolerated by the inside and outside. The original intention was just to favor and indulge a few relatives in the door, but it was not intended to be a mediocrity that held the world hostage? ”

Hearing this, not only Li Dan attended and knelt, but Li Tong was also busy retreating into the subordinate class and pleading guilty.

At this time, the old minister Ouyang Tong spoke again: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world in public sincerity, and he is the foundation of humanity in the court, and his children and grandchildren are close to him, so he doesn't have to take care of the fortunate people with personal affection." The family and the country and the emperor's trust are also in good order, how can the genus of evil and evil be a peep?

The King of Wei and others should be punished for their crimes, because they were arrogant and trampled on the order, and the way of the world was not defiled, but His Majesty's sacred name was not affected. The emperor's heir, the acting king, the beauty of the family, far from the King of Wei and other mediocre talents, love blood relatives, the water is happy, the world is envious! ”

"What Ou Qing said, honesty is virtue."

After a long while, Wu Zetian suddenly sighed and pointed at Ouyang Tong and said.

Then, she pointed to Li Dan and motioned for him to come in, and continued: "Between mother and son, you should speak freely. The emperor's heir is not showing, and the mother and son know each other, which is inevitably difficult. Therefore, the name is the heir, and the meaning is profound, can't you still have it? ”

"Son, son...... Ashamed! My mother's love is already silent, but my son is ashamed of himself and can't ......"

When Li Dan heard this, he was busy kneeling beside the imperial case again, sobbing and grief.

When Li Tong saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his grandmother really took his fourth uncle to death.

"The king of Wei and others have taken power by grace and disrupted the society, and I have made mistakes. Fortunately, there are few strong humerus in the family, and there are many loyal people in the court. Li Zhaode, the history of the Feng Pavilion, investigated the crimes of the kings, and those who had been ambushed clearly listed their crimes, and told the government and the opposition, and those who did not issue them investigated the crimes and announced the criminal division. ”

Wu Zetian stood up from the imperial seat, pulled the imperial heir up and stood side by side with himself, and continued: "Si Liqing Ouyang Tong is loyal to the monarch and has a dignified physique, and he will be awarded the spring official book and merged into the government hall, and he will supervise the canonization ceremony on the same day, and lead the imperial heir back to the East Palace. The rest of the ministers shall be determined and distributed. ”

Her tone was unquestionable, and she didn't mean to discuss it with her ministers, as if she was planning to settle the matter.

But such a result is obviously unacceptable to the ministers. Almost as soon as Wu Zetian's words fell, Di Renjie and other ministers had already bowed again, and said: "Merit will be rewarded, crime will be punished, and the country will be in general." Only mercy and filial piety, only forgiveness and compassion, and the morality of the family. The emperor's heir, the emperor's beloved son, the world, the foundation of the Tang family. The emperor's edict, his majesty, the son, the industry trust, the ministers are also in the will!

This time he killed the king of thieves, so the success lies in the will of heaven and the people! The emperor's heir is old, but he has been outside the matter for a long time, although he has the name of benevolence, he has no merit in curing things. If the emperor's heir is weak and unsuccessful, it is not what heaven and man want, and the ministers will also respect His Majesty, so as to wait for the Zong family to support the great weapon!

Fang Jin's court is raping, the emperor's heir is already in the matter, the ambition is highlighted, the courtiers are praised, this majesty is also virtuous! The Tang family of the Manchu Dynasty is loyal, thinking of the emperor's heir, His Majesty endures the wishes of the people, so that the emperor's heir will be hidden in front of others? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was already silent. Even Li Tong didn't expect that Di Renjie and they would be able to be radical to this point in order to force the palace to seize power.

He looked up at Wu Zetian, whose face was already extremely ugly, and then looked at Di Renjie and the others who were still asking, got up to hold his sword, and looked at the emperor's heir Zhengse: "Since last night, the sword battle has been performed in the palace, and even those who are in the prime of life can't help but be afraid of the aftermath. Although the minister is proud of his muscles and bones, his heavy armor is covered at night, and he will inevitably look tired. Kindness is sad, food and drink are wasted, and the hair does not stick to the pillow, just to protect the overall situation from collapsing!

With hard work, Cigong is by no means a short year, how can it be erased with a word! The young son of the courtier's private court, he does not learn and has no skills, but he has all in this body, all of them are in his kindness, if the righteousness does not tolerate private feelings, people hope to be mean to ethics, and the grass is tied to the ring, that is, on this day! ”

As Li Tong got up to speak, the atmosphere in the hall was condensed again, and Chongyu, who was sitting in the box in the outer hall, heard the aftermath of the king outside the hall, and quickly stood up with a knife, and the formation of the Yulin Army behind him was a bundle.

After Li Dan heard these words, his face was also uncertain, and after a while, he took a step back and said to Li Tong: "The palace is a fight, unfortunately I can't wear armor and stay overnight, fortunately in the Zong family, I am young and strong, but I am chaotic outside the wall, and I have to take refuge here." The great achievement of the king can be sung and expressed. Although a certain is obsessed, he does not dare to compete for beauty. The grass ring is the same as the title, which no longer makes the acting king lonely and unrelieved. People should not be taken away from favors, so you can make a noise! ”

"Good, good! I have a good child, I have a good grandson! To enjoy this affectionate affection, why not be stingy to give it! ”

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zetian first grabbed the wrist of the emperor's heir, then walked down the hall, grabbed Li Tong's hand holding the sword, and said with a smile to the ministers: "The descendants are like this, are you envious?" ”

"God's grace, filial piety, family blessings, ministers and others congratulate Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed and congratulated again, and then got up and danced, and the atmosphere turned cheerful for a while, and the original solemn atmosphere gradually disappeared.

After some joy, Wu Zetian finally changed his original intention, and did not let the imperial heir stop at sealing the East Palace, but directly ordered the imperial heir to supervise the country. And the acting king is the governor of Dugi Province, commanding the military of Luozhou, Shaanzhou, Ruzhou, Zhengzhou, Huaizhou and other states.

Such an arrangement is basically to delegate political power and military power to children and grandchildren. The ministers also agreed with such a result, although they all had some dissatisfaction, but it was obvious that only by this arrangement could the situation be maintained.

From Li Tong's point of view, of course, he didn't really want the imperial heir to directly supervise the country. Although this result is unavoidable, it is certainly good if it can be delayed for ten days and half a month.

For some external forces, this at least means that there is still great resistance to the imperial heirs and even the succession, and it cannot be achieved overnight. This can be used in the next long-term game.

But at the same time, he also understands that after a long time, there must be justice. This night's incident, the overall change of banner in the northern ya, in sharp contrast to the contradictory status quo of the southern ya, also made these southern provincial ministers full of crisis. In terms of power, it is difficult to reverse it in the short term, so it is necessary to fight for a position with all your might, so as to ensure that the balance in the court is broken.

And the appointment of the governor of Li Tong Dugi Province will of course make the ministers a little dissatisfied. Of course, they could have imagined that the acting king played such an amazing role in the incident, and there would definitely be a qualitative leap in power in the future, but it was still a little scary that all the armed forces in Heluo were in their hands.

Although the governor of Togi Province could not directly control the military strength of the two ya, the acting king himself commanded the military strength of the northern ya, and now he has the control over the military forces of the government, which will also have a great impact on the next military integration of the southern ya.

The acting king is so powerful, it is better to let him directly enter the political hall, at least the Southern Province has its own system of affairs, and it is difficult for the acting king to be a monopoly and a monopoly of power.

But this result, they had to accept it, and they didn't see that when they bluntly said that they were forcing the palace in the palace, the acting king did not show weakness and said that he would tie the grass title ring to stumble on them.

Politics is about compromising with each other, otherwise we will not be able to sustain ourselves, and we will have to fight again.

At least at the moment when the kings of the martial arts family have just stopped cooking, the anger accumulated between the government and the opposition has been temporarily vented, and in the next period of time, whoever wants to deliberately find trouble if he doesn't want to have a peaceful birthday, it must be the unrighteous who has no help and tosses himself.

The talks between the Nishigami Cabinet can be regarded as a temporary consensus, which sets the tone for the restoration of order in the future. Wu Zetian handed over the power to his son, and the military power was given to his grandson, putting on a posture of wanting to live for the rest of his life, and ordered him to move to Shangyang Palace.

In this regard, Li Dan, who had just obtained the right to supervise the country, knelt in front of the imperial case again, crying bitterly to dissuade him. One is that in the middle of winter, forcing the old mother to move to live in another palace is really not filial piety. Second, the forbidden army of Beiya is still in the hands of his nephew, even if the old lady makes room for him, he doesn't dare to live in!

So in the end, it was decided that the imperial heir would temporarily reside in Shangyang Palace to handle state affairs, and the Holy Emperor would still reside in Da Nei.

After several books were issued one after another, the Imperial Court Baiji resumed operation again. After the news that the special imperial heir was able to leave the palace and supervise the country, it really made the hearts of the people in the southern province relax a little.

When Li Tong led the people to deliver the imperial heir and his entourage to the gate of heaven, he could already hear the sound of congratulatory messages in the imperial city, and his heart couldn't help but be sour, and he couldn't help but imagine how these courtiers would react if he was tougher with his grandmother and continued to detain the imperial heir in the deep palace and regard him as the emperor's grandson?

As soon as the imperial heir appeared at the gate of heaven, the ministers flocked to the front, and worshiped the mountain. That festive look made Li Tong a little jealous, and he didn't know what these people were stupid about, making them seem to be quite familiar with the emperor's heir.

But in any case, the imperial heir always means that the world is about to embark on a new situation, and even a person like Li Tong, who has a bad heart and no good ideas, can't help but be a little excited when he thinks of this, and it is really no wonder that the courtiers cheered at this.

"The temple has been revitalized against the trend, and the acting king is really a great achievement!"

Seeing the ministers bowing in front of the Zetian Gate, the emperor's heir also showed a heartfelt smile on his face, and turned back, pulling Li Tong to stand beside him, and greeted the ministers together.

Li Tong didn't refuse this treatment, after all, he was actually quite proud in his heart at this time, if you two brothers were counted, things would have to be tossed.

However, after standing for a while, he took the initiative to avoid it sideways, and said to the imperial heir: "The return of the national unification to the right path is the expectation of everyone. In the matter, only the lonely and weak strength is strong, and the weight of the family and the country still depends on the elderly. As a guard, it is inconvenient to send it away, so he is subordinate to this door and waits for the system. ”

Li Dan looked at this nephew, the appreciation in his eyes was also from the bottom of his heart, he raised his hand and patted Li Tong's shoulder, and his tone was a little sad: "Since the light house, the Zong family has had many perverse things. But on behalf of you, you can be a decent person, and you can't behave calmly in previous years, but from now on, I hope that my uncle and nephew can put their hearts in their hearts and not make the world laugh at the love of the heavenly family! ”

"The king's appointment of Chongyi, the luck of the clan, the luck of the community, and the grace of the minister, is also a great luck!"

Li Tong stepped back and saluted, and then watched the imperial heir go south from the imperial city to the south of the imperial city under the support of the ministers and the soldiers of the Southern Ya, and went out of the gate to Shangyang Palace.
