Once again, there was a voice condemning Li Zhongxuan, and some people began to compile all kinds of drum books again, but it was not Li Zhongxuan who arranged it.

Things were even worse than before, General Cheng hurriedly entered Beijing and told Li Zhongxuan about these things, Li Zhongxuan was shocked after hearing this: "I haven't been to the court for a month?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's been more than a month!" General Cheng sighed.

Li Zhongxuan trembled and stood up, and shouted: "Now arrange for hundreds of civil and military officials to go to the court, and it is time for me to deal with the affairs of the imperial capital." ”

In fact, if it weren't for General Youcheng, Du Bian, Fengyu and others cooperating with him, if it weren't for his great achievements that the people would remember, he would have abandoned the government for looking for Shen Qiaoan this month, and he would have been turned against the people.

When General Cheng heard this, he did not act immediately.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence like a bone in his throat, and he really doesn't vomit or be unhappy." General Cheng looked at Li Zhongxuan in embarrassment, and Li Zhongxuan also knew what General Cheng was going to say.

Without waiting for General Cheng to speak, he got up slowly, and waved his sleeves, "I won't look for it for the time being, the officials and soldiers are in place, let's talk about this matter when it's cold." When General Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed.

hurriedly found a hundred civil and military officials.

This is the first meeting between the civil and military officials and the emperor after a 30-day absence, and everyone can't believe that the man with a silver frost on his sideburns in the court is actually Li Zhongxuan.

followed by a drastic arrangement, the matter of catching thieves and thieves was all General Cheng's, General Cheng dealt with more than 20 lawsuits in three days, and after all the troops were transferred back again, the imperial capital returned to its former tranquility.

But as everyone knows, Li Zhongxuan is not happy at all.

During the day, he is still the Ninety-Five, but when night comes, when there are no outsiders, he can only use wine to drown his sorrows.

His strength is for outsiders to see!

"Your Majesty, you can't continue to drink, your body is important." Li Zhongxuan is basically drunk every night.

Recently, the alcoholism is even worse than before, and the courtyard is full of jars and jars.

"Your Majesty!" Guan Li knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan and kowtowed vigorously, "The slave begs you, how can you go on like this?" ”

Seeing the big girl Guan Li kneeling on the ground, the rest of the maids and the little maids all came over and approached Guan Li and bowed in front of him, Li Zhongxuan glanced at the crowd, but did not say a word.

Guan Li couldn't kneel, but Li Zhongxuan ignored it, and on the second day, Guan Li really had nothing to do, and told General Cheng about Li Zhongxuan's recent situation, and General Cheng was stunned when he heard it.

"How is this possible? Isn't he good? ”

"Where is it good, the general will see it at a glance when he comes to see it himself tonight." After Guan Li said that, he left.

That night, when Li Zhongxuan was drinking, General Cheng peeked at it and was immediately convinced, "Why did he drink so much?" ”

Li Zhongxuan was not surprised by General Cheng's appearance, and even invited General Cheng to drink.

But he was pondering something else.

Li Zhongxuan still drinks, Guan Li is afraid that Li Zhongxuan will really drink his body, and he often mixes water in Li Zhongxuan's wine, Li Zhongxuan scolded Guan Li after knowing it, but Guan Li still did that every three or five times.

"Brother Zhongxuan, it's enough to stop, you are so sad and haggard and what about her? Who knows if she has you in her heart. Guan Li frowned and looked at Li Zhongxuan.

"Go away!" Li Zhongxuan pushed Guan Li away, Guan Li staggered into the wine jar, and the broken porcelain stabbed Guan Li's hand, but her tears never changed Li Zhongxuan's vice.

Three or five days later, the matter on General Cheng's side had been arranged.

In the early days, the Imperial Historian and the Speaker suggested a general election, and they were righteous and strict, enumerating many of the advantages of the general election.

"Your Majesty, the harem can't be so empty, the sun and the moon are in the sky, the yin and yang are the imperial court, and now the old minister has prepared the roster, take a look."

Their attitude is tougher.

The Imperial Historian handed the roster to the eunuch, who delivered it to him, and the roster contained the officials of the dynasty and the girls of marriageable age from the noble families in the imperial city.

He just glanced at the dazzling roster, swept it to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, Weichen and others are all for your good, you can't treat the good letter of Weichen and others as donkey liver and lungs, Your Majesty." One person spoke on behalf of the ministers, and everyone nodded their heads again and again.

"Don't talk about it in the future!" Li Zhongxuan got up angrily and rolled up the curtain in advance and retreated.

But on the second and even third days, and every day after that, General Cheng clamored for his ministers to discuss the matter in the court.

In this way, he knew that he could not resist their intentions, so he could only reluctantly agree.

On the day of the election, he lost his mind, his eyes looked outside the palace gate, behind every smiling face, he seemed to be recalling something, and the girls stood in front of him in a row.

The eunuch next to him coughed slightly, and then he caught Li Zhongxuan's wandering thoughts, Li Zhongxuan looked at the person in front of him, and after being stunned for a long time, he put down a few signs.

Everyone nodded again and again, the day of the election passed like a year, and at night, Mama Jiao Xi brought a few maids over to go to the night, but Li Zhongxuan turned them away one by one.

On the second day, General Cheng knew about the matter again, and General Cheng and his ministers continued to discuss, and the result was that he had to choose one of the girls to be the queen.

"I have been forced to choose a concubine, and you still want me to choose a queen, am I really so good at talking?" Li Zhongxuan got up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the three palaces and six courtyards can't do without an East Palace Niangniang, please think twice." General Cheng knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan, and as soon as Li Zhongxuan retreated, another person knelt down behind him.

"The ministers and others are all thinking about the emperor, but you can't be like this, the emperor."

"Go away." Li Zhongxuan dodged the left and right, but a few kneeling people appeared one after another in front and behind, and now, he was wrapped in the line.

Li Zhongxuan had a headache, she knew that if she didn't make a decision, they would be like this tomorrow, the so-called "out of sight and out of mind", Li Zhongxuan could only sigh, "That's it, from tomorrow onwards, I will think twice before acting, you should step down." ”

Then the people rejoiced and withdrew.

After returning to the palace, Li Zhongxuan frowned, in fact, he was as smart as Li Zhongxuan, he understood better than anyone else that they were afraid, afraid of Shen Qiao'an's return!

They were afraid, afraid that he would find Shen Qiao'an and make Qiao An the queen.

Therefore, in this gap, they put forward the idea that they seemed to be fair but were actually mercenary, but Li Zhongxuan couldn't help but think seriously, this group of old and young people were too stubborn, and Li Zhongxuan had already learned their ability to fight a protracted war.

"Your Majesty, have the ministers embarrassed you again?"

When night fell, Li Zhongxuan was drinking alone again, seeing this, Guan Li hurriedly leaned over and asked, Li Zhongxuan sighed, "They actually want me to choose a queen, I don't even know what the names of those girls are, how do I know their conduct and their integrity?" ”

"Actually, the old minister only needs you to choose a concubine, and they may not be able to theorize who the person to choose is." Guan Li boldly sat in front of Li Zhongxuan and looked at Li Zhongxuan.

Li Zhongxuan sighed and took a sip of wine, "Isn't it a failure that I can't even protect the people I love, that's it, I'm gradually overwhelmed!" Even my world, my government and government have to be controlled in the hands of this group of advisers. ”

"Your Majesty, they have no ill intentions." The deep meaning does not need to be carefully explained, Li Zhongxuan also understands it.

Who is Shen Qiaoan? Descendants of the emperor, but what about Shen Qiao'an today? inexplicably became the target of public criticism, and now he even wondered if someone had attacked Qiao An.

"How are you a failed emperor? You are one of the most legendary emperors, no one in this imperial capital is as powerful as you, you went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, became a general at the age of sixteen, and became the most relied on staff of the first emperor at the age of seventeen, and when you were eighteen years old, you eradicated Chen Dongye, and destroyed Lingyuan Pavilion at the age of nineteen......"

Guan Li gushed endlessly, I have to say that Li Zhongxuan is indeed very powerful, the first half of his life was so lively and wonderful, no one can match it.

"Slave and maid wish you well, I hope you are happy, if you really want to drink, slave and maid will accompany you to drink, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk." Guan Li took the wine glass from Li Zhongxuan's hand and accompanied Li Zhongxuan to drink.

In order to adapt to the drink, Guan Li has been secretly drinking recently, and he has increased his tolerance little by little, and now Guan Li can also drink half a bottle.

Li Zhongxuan saw Guan Li's little face crimson, and knew that Guan Li had recently concealed that he was secretly running out of food, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

After drinking a bottle of wine, Guan Li was drunk and staggered, Li Zhongxuan put the cloak on Guan Li's shoulders and sent Guan Li to rest.

On the second day, Guan Li met with General Cheng and told him about Li Zhongxuan's relapse, and General Cheng immediately went to discuss things with his ministers.

As for Guan Li, no one saw a sly smile blooming at the corner of her mouth.

The next day, General Cheng led the ministers to discuss the matter after the election again, and it was originally a difficult thing after the election, but they had already selected the best candidate for Li Zhongxuan to make the queen, that is, the daughter of General Zhenguo, Begonia.

"Your Majesty, the old minister sees that this autumn girl is very good, she is a girl with both ability and political integrity, and Miss Begonia's father is a great general, after this person is selected, it really complements each other!"

Li Zhongxuan had seen begonias, but he didn't like this girl, so he took a step back, "Everyone, let me think about it." ”

That night, Li Zhongxuan discussed this matter with Guan Li while drinking, and Guan Li smiled sweetly, "There is nothing difficult about this, but according to the slave's wishes, you can't listen to them this time." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhongxuan smiled, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Guan Li looked at Li Zhongxuan and found that Li Zhongxuan's eyes were as bright as stars, and softly, she smiled.

"Didn't the emperor find out? Along the way, they already know how to blackmail you, they are the ones who want you to choose a concubine, and they are also the ones who want you to choose, can the emperor think about what the next step is? "Guan Li's clever tongue is like a spring.

"What's next?" This Li Zhongxuan really didn't think about it.

"The next step is for you to have a child with the queen, if you give birth to an emperor, they will not agree, and after discussion, they will let you and the queen have a prince, what will this look like?"

Li Zhongxuan thought about it, there was no such possibility, he frowned in disgust, and his palm fell heavily on the table, "This group of people is really bad." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, they have their meaning, we also have our intentions, the emperor can choose a person who is willing to serve you, but will not ask you to have a child to be the queen." Guan Li smiled.

"The man?" Li Zhongxuan was discouraged, "Where can I find such a puppet?" Ay! Li Zhongxuan lowered his eyebrows.

Guan Li smiled, "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, why didn't the emperor consider letting the slave maid be the queen?" This is just a position, and when the slave maid occupies this position, if Sister Qiao An comes back in the future, wouldn't it be the best thing for the slave and maid to be willing to abdicate and make way for Xian? ”
