The palace in Wuyi has been built for a long time, but his master has not been in the house. Li Ze did not mention this incident, and the other officials did not seem to think about it at all. Therefore, this palace, which can be regarded as the most luxurious palace in Wuyi, has been vacant and handed over to Tian Lingzi, the secretary of Taichang Temple, to take charge.

Tian Lingzi is an interesting character.

When the Emperor Taishang left Chang'an, the future was uncertain, and among the three central ministers, he was the only one who was determined to follow the Emperor Taishang Beijiao, and the other two, Zhongshu Ling Wang Shu and Shangshu Ling Chen Bi, both stayed because of their own considerations.

The fates of these three important ministers are also very different.

Zhu Wen captured Chang'an, Shang Shu Ling Chen Bi organized the last force to resist desperately, and finally died in the imperial city, before dying, this once made Li Ze look down on Shang Shuling was also ready to burn the palace, not let Zhu Wen succeed, although in the end did not succeed, only burned a side hall, was destroyed by those who wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of Zhu Wen.

On the contrary, Wang Shu, who had always been very disciplined in front of Li Ze, surrendered after Zhu Wen arrived in Chang'an. Then after Zhu Wen, Zhu Youyu, and Zhu Youzhen, the three emperors of the Liang State, this person still holds the position of Zhongshu Ling, of course, the Zhongshu Order at this time is not the Zhongshu Order at that time, and the power is not as good as before.

Compared with these two, Tian Lingzi is lucky in some ways. Because although there were many risks on the way to the north hunting, he and his family finally arrived in Zhenzhou smoothly.

Although he has been far away from the center of power since then, he is not as dead as Chen Bi after all, nor is he ruined like Wang Shu.

Serving as an idle position of Taichang Siqing, who has almost nothing to do, leading a very good salary, and the family has also started to invest in some business in Wuyi, over the years, the Tian family, but slowly in the north, there are some excellent children in the family after graduating from Wuwei Academy into the bureaucratic system of the north. Although they all start from the grassroots level, they may not be able to go further with time.

For these Tian clansmen, especially the children who have become officials, they naturally hope that Tian Lingzi will be loyal to Li Ze. Don't look at Tian Lingzi's current affairs, but where is this person's previous position, if he moves closer to Li Ze, Li Ze will definitely accept it happily.

But Tian Lingzi refused.

But Tian Lingzi is also very much said to be a royalist. At least when Xue Ping and Han Qi were jumping up and down, Tian Lingzi had always been a state of cold bystanders, sometimes doing some peripheral work, and after a long time, even the royalists who had expectations for him were dead to him.

He seemed to be very detached from both sides, and then did some of his share of the work of Taichang Siqing.

Then, in Wuyi, he is almost a forgotten character.

It wasn't until this time that the imperial court was holding a worship that everyone remembered these things, and Taichang Temple should be in charge of all affairs, but Tian Lingzi was very familiar with these links.

Tian Lingzi, the Taichang Siqing, has returned to everyone's field of vision.

And the nominal emperor of the Tang Dynasty was taken back from Wuwei Academy to live in another palace.

Li Ke sat in the room, and several old eunuchs were serving him to put on the intricate crown. This is the second time that Li Ke has worn this expensive ceremonial dress since his official accession to the throne, and the first time was that he wore it when he ascended the throne, and then it became an ornament. Today will be the day of the official worship of the imperial court, and all the courtiers are already dressed and waiting in the main hall outside the palace, waiting for the ceremony to take place.

Wearing a crown and putting on a gown, although the young Li Ke still has a childish face, he is slightly precocious, and he still shows a noble atmosphere, which is completely different from the appearance of the students in the Wuwei Academy on weekdays.

People rely on clothes, and it's really good.

Tian Lingzi looked at the luxurious twelve chapter patterns on his robe, but his eyes were red.

"Your Majesty, the time has come!" An attendant walked in from outside, bowed slightly.

Li Ke took a deep breath and stood up.

Tian Lingzi walked out of the corner, grabbed in front of Li Ke, knelt down with a bang, and said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, listen to the minister, this is the last chance." ”

Li Ke did not look down at the minister who was kowtowing in front of him, but looked ahead, but his eyes were extremely determined.

Tian Lingzi glanced up at Li Ke, sighed, got up from the ground, and gave in sideways.

Li Ke strode out.

Three days ago, Li Ke had already arrived in the other palace, according to the requirements of the ceremony, burned incense and bathed, began to fast, the place of worship should have been in the temple, but the Tang Temple was still in Chang'an, in Wuyi, but everything could only be simple, and the ceremony of worshipping the general was held in this palace.

Walking into the main hall of the other palace, all the civil and military ministers had already gathered here, and the full house of uniforms made the hall shine, and the person standing in the middle was Li Ze.

As soon as the ritual system was made, Tian Lingzi had already informed Li Ke.

Li Ke stood facing east and west, while Li Ze was standing in the south and facing the north.

Tian Lingzi lifted a tray above his head with both hands, and in the tray, there was a small and delicate Yue. Li Ke picked up the head of the Yue and handed the handle to Li Ze, at this time, he really had the urge to raise the Yue in his hand and hammer the head of the powerful minister in front of him to a pulp. But in the end, he could only hand the tail of the Yue to Li Ze.

"From now on, the one who ascends to heaven will be ruled by the general!"

This is an authorization, granting the general the power of life and death.

Then Li Ke picked up the handle of the Yue again and pointed the blade towards Li Ze.

"Whoever goes down to the abyss from now on, the general will control it!"

This is also a warning to the generals to respect themselves, and when he said this, Li Ke involuntarily increased his tone. And Li Ze in front of him, his face was as usual, and he didn't seem to feel anything.

"If you see the falsehood, you will advance, and if you see the truth, you will stop. Don't underestimate the enemy with the crowd of the three armies, don't die because of the weight of the order, don't be cheap because you're noble, don't disobey the crowd with your own opinions, and don't take arguments as inevitable. Don't sit if you don't sit, don't eat if you don't eat, and the cold and heat will be the same. In this way, the people will learn the power of death! ”

Li Ke did not have the slightest emotion, and completed his mission according to the script.

Li Ze took the Yue with both hands, took a step back, stood up straight, looked at Li Ke and said: "The ministers can't rule the country from the outside, and the army can't control from the middle." You can't be a gentleman with two hearts, and you can't be suspicious of the enemy. Since the minister was ordered, the power of the axe, the minister did not dare to survive, and I hope that the king will also give a word to the minister. The king does not allow the ministers, and the ministers dare not general. ”

Li Ke stared at Li Ze for a long time, at this time, he should have responded immediately and promised Li Ze full authority, but he was choked in his throat, and this sentence was not said for a long time.

The full hall of civil and military officers raised their heads in surprise, although it was only a formality, but it was also very important.

Tian Lingzi coughed heavily, and Li Ke suddenly came to his senses, and said the words that gave Li Ke full authority word by word.

At this point, the worship ceremony is finally over.

Li Ze received the order, held the axe in his hand, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and behind him, the full hall of civil and military forces actually left with him in turn, and in the blink of an eye, the hall that had just been returned to the hall was deserted to the extreme. Li Ke, who was standing on the top of the steps and wearing a crown, burst into tears.

Tian Lingzi sighed, his final hope was still not realized, and Li Ke did not do the last life-saving move that Han Qi taught him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is going now!" Tian Lingzi bowed.

"Are you going to congratulate Li Zehe?" Li Ke said coldly.

Tian Lingzi shook his head: "The minister is old, before today's ceremony, he has submitted his resignation to Li Xiang, today is the last time the minister will go to the court, and tomorrow, the minister will return home." ”

Bending down again, Tian Lingzi bent his back and left the hall with some staggering steps.

On the square outside the main hall, thousands of Li Ze's personal guards stood solemnly, Li Ze strode forward, turned over the horse brought by the personal guards, and hugged his fists and said to the minister of civil and military affairs who saw him off behind him: "Li Ze is leaving, and I will ask you for all the affairs of the imperial court." ”

"I wish Li Xiangli to sweep the cave and destroy the pseudo-Liang." The ministers of civil and military affairs clenched their fists together and slammed them to the ground.

Li Ze lightly led the war horse, and the sound of hooves was audible, and he walked along the wide street towards the outside of the city.

Before Li Ze set off, the troops stationed in Wuyi, Zhenzhou, Yizhou and other places had already been drawn in advance. Datang's final general attack on the pseudo-Liang has finally begun.

At this time, on the Haixing Wharf in Cangzhou, countless large sea ships gathered here, and a team of right leading guards were boarding the ships in turn under the command of the commander.

For ordinary people who don't know the inside story, everyone thinks that the right leading guard boarded the ship this time to travel is related to Prime Minister Li Ze's all-out general attack on the pseudo-Liang, and only a few people know that after the ship goes to sea, the direction it will go is completely different from everyone's speculation.

The place where they landed on this trip was Goryeo.

The first batch of pioneers consisted of only five thousand people, but they carried a large amount of ordnance, supplies. Since the formation of the army, the right leading guard has been staying in Cangzhou, and one of the conditions for the right leading guard to recruit soldiers is to have a good water nature, and the fishermen who often go to the sea are the best choice.

All of this is due to Li Ze's desire to build the right leading guard into a real marine corps.

The only senior official who came to see him off was Hou Zhen, the governor of Cangzhou.

"General Wen, I wish you a smooth journey and all the best!" Hou Zhen said.

"Thank you for waiting for Zhizhou Jiyan." Wen Fu said with a smile: "The follow-up brigade of men and materials still needs to be greatly assisted by Zhizhou." ”

"Military affairs, dare not slack off!" Hou Zhen nodded and said: "Although the general is bent on moving forward, Hou Zhen will definitely do his best in the follow-up." ”

Without further words, Wen Fu arched his hand and turned to board the ship.
