The Tai Hospital is judged to be a clear position, and of course it is also very dangerous.

Just like now, when Qian Niu Wei searched out a small package of unmarked medicinal materials from He Yuanju, this He Yuanju was already collapsed to the ground and couldn't speak.

Li Zhi's gaze was as gloomy as water, and the aura on his body was no longer as easy-going as in the past, but now it was an aura of being an emperor.

The emperor is lonely, and the emperor is to be strangled in the face of danger.

After reading so many letters of conspiracy, Li Zhi never spoke. Only when he saw the letter of the court that he spoke.

As for the reason, it is because he perceives danger.

Fiddling with the small medicine bag in his hand, Li Zhi looked at it for a while and threw it down directly, "Take a look at it all, tell me what this is." ”

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital stepped forward tremblingly, picked up the medicine bag and analyzed and discussed, and finally the hospital replied, "Your Majesty, this is a tonic medicine." ”

"Tonic?" Li Zhi's eyes playfully "Sure?" ”

"The ministers don't dare to bully the king."

Li Zhi laughed, and his laughter was a little vicissitudes. He didn't look at the queen beside him, but looked at Wang Xiao, "Wang Daochang, you can also take a look." ”

"Yes."

Wang Xiao took the medicine bag and studied it, and nodded slightly, "It is indeed a tonic medicine." ”

He Yuanju breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had passed the test this time.

Then he heard Wang Xiao continue: "But sometimes the tonic medicine is mixed with other things, and it will change the medicinal properties and become poison. I wonder if His Majesty has any medicine to take recently? ”

Li Zhi's gaze swept over the royal relatives and important ministers of the court who were summoned, "I have been eating all the medicine sent by the Taoist chief to clear the eyes and remove the fire. ”

The beckoner brought a bowl of potion up, and then sprinkled half of the powder in the medicine bag into it.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed at He Yuanju, "Let him drink." ”

Several Qianniu guards stepped forward, pinched He Yuanju's mouth and poured the potion directly into it.

The hall fell silent again. Everyone didn't dare to breathe, only the heavy gasping sound of He Yuan's judgment.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response, and many people began to secretly exchange heads, and the noise in the hall gradually became louder.

Then, the judge of the court, who was lying on the ground, began to convulse.

In full view of everyone, He Yuanju began to roll and began to howl. The sound is so miserable that it makes people feel terrible.

After tossing for almost half a stick of incense, the roar of He Yuanju gradually subsided. The whole person lay on the ground motionless.

Qianniu, my general, stepped forward to take a look, and bowed to Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, the person is dead." ”

The hall was quiet again, and it was almost like a pin dropping.

If the nature of this matter before was that a group of people connected together to frame the prince. Now, it has turned into rebellion!

Wang Xiao sat quietly, closed his eyes, and silently recited in his heart, 'Taishang Laojun said Changqing Jingjing'.

The things he laid out have been done, and the next thing has nothing to do with him.

Everyone didn't say anything, they sat quietly, and their eyes fell on Li Zhi's body. Everyone was waiting for him to make his final verdict.

"Lockdown the city, arrest people."

Wang Xiao, who left Daming Palace and returned home, lay on the bed and slept peacefully.

As for how the Li family is torn internally, that's their own business.

Although all the clues point to Wu Meiniang, it is difficult for Li Zhi to move her for the stability of his family and the country.

Son, daughter. The important people around him are all involved with the queen.

A counterinsurgency war of the greatest scale is being waged in the north, and Tibet in the west is ready to go to war at any time.

Under this kind of internal and external troubles, Li Zhi when he was young may do whatever it takes. But now he will only seek stability.

However, it is obvious that Wu Meiniang will not have a chance to turn over. And her power will also be wiped out.

It is even difficult to hear about her again in the future.

If you hear it again, it is probably that when Li Zhi dies soon, the queen will die of illness first.

Things developed just as Wang Xiao thought.

In the next few days, Wu Meiniang's power in the court was uprooted.

Wu Sansi, Suo Yuanli, Lai Junchen, Qiu Shenji, Fu Youyi, Zhou Xing, Wang Dejian and a large number of Wu Meiniang's henchmen in the court were punished.

People are being arrested everywhere in Chang'an City, and a large number of sergeants are running back and forth in the city, and many wealthy families in the past have disappeared in an instant, making people panic.

This chaotic situation lasted for more than a month before it gradually settled down.

When Wang Xiao came to Daming Palace again, he could clearly see that Li Zhi's expression was much older.

And there is no Wu Meiniang who has been sitting beside him.

"Dao Chief, thank you for this incident." Li Zhi beckoned Wang Xiao to sit down, "The Taoist can measure the heavens, and he has made great contributions to my Datang." I intend to be the head of the road as a national teacher, but I don't know what to do? ”

Wang Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "Poor Dao is just a cultivator in the mortal world, and he has always pursued fame and fortune. His Majesty's kindness was received, but the national teacher was ashamed. ”

Li Zhi persuaded again and again, but Wang Xiao repeatedly refused. In the end, the national teacher was pushed out.

For Wang Xiao, his current identity is just right. Everyone in the Li family trusts him very much, and he can enter and leave Daming Palace at will, and there is no need to be a national teacher to make trouble for himself.

"I don't hide it from me." Li Zhi coughed, "Dao Chang, can you calculate a hexagram for my three sons to see who is suitable to inherit the unification." ”

Wu Meiniang's incident hit Li Zhi very hard, making his whole person seem to grow old in an instant.

This kind of mental blow is not something that can be solved by taking medicine, and Li Zhi has already noticed that his condition is getting worse and worse.

Wang Xiao has a lot of experience, and when he heard this, he shook his head directly, "This hexagram can't be counted." ”

At any time, those who participate in the royal legacy will not end well. He won't be stupid enough to jump into the pit.

"It is impossible to calculate the hexagram, and it is impossible to calculate it. However, if Your Majesty is confused, you can talk to Poor Dao. ”

Wu Meiniang's incident made Li Zhi deeply understand the desire of the royal family for the throne. also let him see with his own eyes that he can really do anything for the throne.

A mother can frame a child, and a wife can murder her husband. Li Zhi was afraid that when he died, his sons would fight in the same room again.

"Li Xian is smart, Li Xian is benevolent, and Li Dan is witty. If they all want to compete for the throne, I'm afraid it'll happen again. ”

The so-called old things refer to Li Shimin's Xuanwu Sect and the fierce competition between Li Zhi's brothers.

At the thought of that terrible cannibalism, Li Zhi couldn't sleep with worry.

"Oh." Wang Xiao nodded and didn't speak.

Li Zhi waited for a while, didn't wait for Wang Xiao's response, and said with some tears and laughter: "I have already said that I am confused in my heart." ”

Wang Xiao responded: "Poor Dao has heard it." ”

"What do you think?"

"There is no opinion, Your Majesty can pass on the throne to whoever he wants."

Li Zhi rubbed his forehead, "Dao Chang doesn't need to be like this, although he said it bluntly, I will never blame." ”

"Hehe~~~"

Wang Xiao, who has been an emperor himself, will never believe such words. If he really said which name, he would definitely write his name on the funeral list when Li Zhi was about to die.

"If you want to say who to pass the throne to, that's your majesty's business. However, Poor Dao had an idea to arrange a way out for the rest of the princes. ”

"Oh?" Li Zhi came to be interested, "Daoist, please speak." ”

"Your Majesty, do you have a map of the whole world here?"

Li Zhi beckoned the attendants to bring up a large map.

Wang Xiao stepped forward, pointed to the map and roughly drew the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and his finger fell on the grassland in the north, "The extraterritorial grassland has been the confidant of the Central Plains for generations. This was the case with this Eastern Turkic rebellion. His Majesty can divide the prince into a feudal prince in the grassland and do the king's thing. ”

The fingers moved and landed in the Western Regions "The Western Regions is very important here, communicating things from east to west, and it is a necessary place for Datang to break through the terrain restrictions and go to the fertile soil. It is also possible to divide the prince here. ”

"Partition?"

Li Zhi walked over with his hands behind his back and watched carefully, "If there is a clan in the domain, it can indeed effectively control the local area." But what if there was a rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Han Dynasty? ”

"These places are not strong enough to pose a threat. If you want to have that kind of strength, I don't know if it will be hundreds of years later. If it really comes to that time, even if there is a rebellion of the Seven Kings, whether you win or lose, it will be your own family. ”

Wang Xiao's words were not wrong, it was really a rebellion, and it was also the descendants of their Li family. For Li Zhi, it makes no difference.

Separation into remote areas can effectively strengthen local control. It also gave the sons who failed to inherit the throne a chance to be called lonely.

From the father's point of view, as well as from the emperor's point of view, this is indeed a good choice.

Wang Xiao's hand kept pointing west, and directly delineated the scope of the map, "This world is very large, far beyond everyone's imagination. Fight down the land and divide the prince to garrison, and then continue to fight until the end of the world. At that point, it doesn't matter who fights. ”

Li Zhi stood in front of the map and watched, "Let me think about it, think about it." ”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is a new year.

More than 300,000 Tang soldiers and horses marched north and successfully extinguished the rebellion of the Eastern Turks.

In the west, the powerful Tubo stretched out his claws, and was also broken in the confrontation with the Tang Dynasty.

The strength of Datang shocked everyone in the world.

When the army returned to the court, Li Zhi finally made a decision.

The previous Dadan was given to Li Xian as a fief in the Imperial Protectorate.

Anxi, on the other hand, was given to Li Dan.

They have their own court ministers and soldiers, and they can be called lonely and widowed when they become kings.

And the position of the crown prince Li Xian has been completely consolidated.

Li Xian was very happy about this, and finally didn't have to break his head in order to compete for the throne like the previous two generations of Tang emperors.

And his wife Webster wants to be the queen, and he can be regarded as satisfying Webster's wishes.

Li Xian's father is still there, and although his mother is under house arrest, she is still alive after all.

The brothers and sisters are also in a good relationship, and Webster's wish has been fulfilled, and he is also pregnant and is about to have a child of his own.

At this moment, Li Xian felt that his life was really good.

When Li Xian came over with imperial wine and wanted to invite Wang Xiao to have a drink before going to the domain, Wang Xiao had already received a notice from the wishing system.

The wisher Li Xian's wish has been fulfilled, and he can leave after completing the task.

Standing on the wall, looking at the Huanghuang Chang'an City. Wang Xiao waved his sleeves and floated away.
