Li Zhong explained in detail what happened tonight, before and after, and Zhao Zhi was silent after listening.

Li Yi suddenly stepped forward at this time, wiped Zhao Zhi's sweat with a towel, tears flowed in his eyes, and looked at Zhao Zhi's gaze, full of guilt.

Zhao Zhi looked at Li Yi silently, there was no anger and resentment on his face, his expression was very strange, there was an indescribable taste, as if he couldn't believe it, and it was a matter of course.

After listening to the narration of Li Zhong and Yang Daolin, Zhao Zhi already knew everything, Zhao He raised troops to seize the throne and occupied a huge advantage, but in the end it ended in failure.

Zhao Zhi's eyes were a little distracted, he couldn't believe it, his favorite son and woman finally chose this kind of means and methods, they really got their hands on it, but at the same time, Zhao Zhi didn't blame them, everyone has their own ideas, their own wishes and arrangements, and they can't override others' principles after all.

Moreover, didn't he use this method to finally ascend to the throne?

Li Yi wiped the sweat for Zhao Zhi, walked away silently again, and stood aside.

Li Zhong said softly: "Your Majesty, how should Zhao He deal with it?" ”

Li Yi glanced at Li Zhong, then looked at Zhao Zhi, his eyes flashing.

Zhao Zhi was silent, and after a long while, he sighed deeply: "The destiny is not in him, what can I do about it." ”

Li Zhong pursed his lips, Yang Daolin secretly pulled his arm, Li Zhong shook his head, sighed in his heart, and didn't speak.

Zhao Zhi asked softly, "What about Mu Gong, why isn't he here?" ”

Yang Daolin said silently: "Your Majesty, Mu Gong was killed by the rebels, but fortunately, there is a whole corpse. ”

Zhao Zhi didn't show any sadness, he knew that with the character of the shepherd, if he died, he would definitely be buried and martyred, and he would never live alone in the world, but he didn't expect that he would still die in this turmoil and not die well.

Li Zhong asked, "How to arrange the funeral of the pastor?" ”

Although Mu Gong is a eunuch and is very low-key, his influence in Zhao Zhi's dynasty is definitely very huge, and he has a deep friendship with Li Zhong, Yang Daosi, Liu Wei and other Zhongxing meritorious deeds.

Zhao Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Buried within ten miles of the imperial tomb, don't erect a stone stele." ”

Li Zhong and Yang Daolin nodded their heads, indicating that they understood.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhi asked Zhao Bolin again, and Li Zhong replied that he had inspected Jiangnan and had not come back yet, and asked about the situation of Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, and other miscellaneous things, but he did not mention tonight's coup d'état and Zhao He.

Li Zhong replied one by one.

Liu Zhongyuan, Liu Guanghui, Qin Anming and others had a strange expression, they came here with a heavy and bumpy mood, but who would have thought that Zhao Zhi would actually pull Li Zhong there to chat about family life, as well as talk about some minor things, but they didn't mention a word, they couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts, did they want the prince to arrive, and then make the final announcement?

At the critical moment of the change of imperial power, it is not only important to the crown prince, but also extremely important to them, the ministers, whether they can still maintain a considerable position in the core of the new emperor's power, it depends on how the old emperor arranges it.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely actively cultivate his henchmen and descendants, in order to let them ascend to the throne, many people will go down, and this is the case in all dynasties.

Liu Zhongyuan, Liu Guanghui, and Qin Anming, who are the ministers of the political hall, are now in mixed moods, not only for the future of the country, but also for their own future, worrying.

Subsequently, everyone retreated, letting Zhao Zhi be quiet for a while, as for the arrangements for the aftermath, after the arrival of the crown prince Zhao Xun, Zhao Zhi will make the final explanation.

Everyone came to the outer hall, everyone's expressions were very heavy, this sudden coup d'état, all the contradictions and struggles, concentrated outbreaks, and put on the bright side, although Zhao He's rebellion was put down, but many people know in their hearts that this is just the beginning, internal contradictions and strife, if the prince can not be well balanced and adjusted, it will become more and more serious, sometimes, using force to solve a thing, is the simplest and most effective, but it can't break down the entire system, the real danger is internal division and external pressure, These two aspects are now very prominent, Zhao Zhi is alive for a day, it may be obvious, once this emperor who has reigned for many years and has a high prestige dies, I am afraid that many problems will be exposed one by one, and they will become more and more serious.

Li Zhong's expression was also very heavy, he was not only sad for Zhao Zhijiang to die soon, but at the same time, his heart was also full of strong pressure.

Before Zhao Zhi fell into a coma, within a month, he summoned Li Zhong into the palace more than ten times in a row, and gave Li Zhong a thorough understanding of his posthumous affairs in advance, and there will be a major reorganization in the political affairs hall, and the number of Xiangguo will be re-replenished to nine, but the existing seven Xiangguo, except for Li Zhong and Yang Daolin, who can be retained, the remaining people will all be cleared out of the political affairs hall, and the new Xiangguo candidates will be selected by the new emperor's henchmen and descendants to consolidate the imperial power as quickly as possible.

Li Zhong's military power will be further expanded, and the first few years of the new emperor's reign will be escorted by Li Zhong.

As for Yang Daolin, he will still not move in the position of the right minister, his immobility, not because he is the ideal candidate for the right minister, but because of the Yang family, the contradiction between Yang Daolin and Yang Binglin, the patriarch of the Yang family, has become public, as Yang Daolin sits in the position of the right minister for a long time, the contradiction between the two will become deeper and deeper, so that it will finally break out, which is likely to cause division and internal strife within the Yang familyIf the biggest stumbling block of the Yang family can be removed, then the political balance of the imperial court and the stability of the new emperor's throne will be of great help.

Yang Daolin is worried, back and forth there, the Yang family has developed to the present, it has been very powerful, when Yang Daosi is here, there are already many people below who are secretly discussing, saying that he has too much power, too much credit, and high merit.

For a series of big moves in the last few years of Yang Daosi, the major reorganization and adjustment of the family, politically and militarily, only the core is retained, and everything else that is irrelevant is thrown away.

Yang Daolin is very much in agreement with this, and is also an active supporter of this plan, if it were not for the sudden death of Yang Daosi, this matter has been done by now, I am afraid it has been done, but unfortunately, Yang Daosi's sudden death, so that all the situation is out of control, Yang Binglin inherited the position of patriarch, there is no one else to contain and supervise, he abandoned Yang Daosi's previous plan, and led the entire Yang family to violently impact and snatch towards a larger power space.
