Although Zheng Ningji will worry about serving discipline, after all, his father Zheng Ji is not dead, and mentioning this now means that Zheng Ningji is not filial.

Unfilial people are spurned wherever they go, and Zheng Ningji naturally knows this.

Li Ye's personal arrival, Zheng Ningji naturally went out in advance to greet him, and when he saw Zheng Ningji, he didn't care too much about the pomp, so that Liu Chenyan and others had a family affair with the female relatives of the Zheng Mansion, and he directly asked Zheng Ningji about Zheng Ningji's condition.

"How is Ling Zun doing now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after the diagnosis of the imperial doctors, I am afraid that time is running out." Zheng Ningji had obvious sadness on his face, obviously his father's condition was worsening, which also had a great impact on him.

"Take me to see it." Li Ye commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zheng Jin's father and son did not separate, so the place where Zheng Zheng lived was naturally the main house of Zheng's mansion, and Li Ye smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine from a long distance.

Li Ye, along with Zhang Wei, Zhang Cheng, Li Zhen and others who followed next to him, couldn't help frowning, and Zheng Ningji hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty... ”

Li Ye interrupted, "It's okay! ”

When I came to the room, a thin figure was lying on the bed, and there were two maids serving beside me.

This so-called bed is a little different from the modern bed, in fact, it can refer to the Japanese home style, which is very close to the style of the middle and early Tang Dynasty.

Before the late Tang Dynasty, from the princes and nobles to the common people, the furniture in the home was mainly low-type furniture, and it was impossible to steal people to hide under the bed and the like, unless you had the ability to shrink your bones, you would get in.

Even the bed that Li Ye is resting on now has a limited height, and of course he likes this kind of low-type bed very much.

"See Your Majesty!"

When they came to the bed, the two maids hurriedly saluted, Li Ye waved his hand with a flat expression, and the two girls stood up and waited on the side.

And Zheng Ningji came to the bed and softly shouted to Zheng Jin, who was resting on the bed, "Father, Your Majesty has come to see you." ”

Li Ye was actually sitting in front of the couch, and when he saw Zheng Zheng with a yellow complexion, a thin face, and sunken eyes, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Hearing Zheng Ningji's shout, Zheng Jin, who was on the couch, opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Li Ye, he looked a little excited, and wanted to sit up and even stay and salute, but at this time he couldn't complete these at all.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please... Forgive the old minister... Unable.. Rise.. Salute! ”

Li Ye hurriedly helped the other party and comforted, "Zheng Qing doesn't have to get up, that's it." I heard that Zheng Qing's health was not very good, so I came to visit, but I didn't expect Zheng Qing's appearance to make me a little shocked now. ”

Maybe it was because of seeing Li Ye, Zheng Jin's eyes glowed with some light, although he still spoke slowly, but it was much better than before, Zheng Ningji didn't know what it meant when he saw this, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye. Since the emperor was on his side, he was not good at acting too sad, so as not to upset the emperor.

"Many... Thank.. Your Majesty cares. Old... The body of the old minister, the old minister knows, if... If it weren't for the precious medicinal materials given by His Majesty, the old minister might have ... It probably won't last now. Zheng Jin's withered face showed a hint of a smile, but it didn't make people happy.

"Zheng Qing is the pillar of the country, if there is no Zheng Qing, there will be no Tang Dynasty today, and naturally there will be no me. But seeing Aiqing's physical condition, I can't help it, I really feel a little guilty。。。。。 ”

Zheng Zhen slowly raised his hand, but as soon as he was halfway up, he had to put it down again, "Your Majesty... Speech.. To put it seriously, birth, old age, sickness and death are predestined, but now it is the turn of the minister. ”

This seems to be a very ordinary sentence, but there is a faint desolation in it, which makes people can't help but moisten their eyes.

Just when Li Ye still wanted to say a few words, Zheng Zhen turned his head with difficulty, looked at the people around him, and stopped talking. Li Ye knew that the other party should have some last words to say to himself, and he didn't want too many people to know, and he must have something to do with Li Yi.

So Li Ye sent everyone away, including the maids who served, leaving only Zhang Wei alone.

Seeing that there was no one else, Zheng Zheng said, "Old. . . The old minister was brave and wanted to ask His Majesty, the emperor's illness。。。。。 ”

Li Ye guessed that the other party was going to ask about this, he shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me, the imperial brother is his own work." Last year's fall into the lake made his health very poor, but he didn't pay attention to taking care of his body when he got a little better, and he was overindulged, so his body collapsed. I don't need to lie to you, I'm not the kind of hard-hearted person, since he has abdicated, I don't need to be in such a hurry to get rid of him, but now that he is dead, it will bring some bad effects to me. ”

Zheng Jin nodded slowly, and understood this truth, "That... No... Knowing that Your Majesty will... How will the two princes of the Emperor be placed? ”

"As long as they don't keep their minds crooked, I can ensure that they are rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives, I am the son of heaven, and my words count." Li Ye affirmed.

Seeing that Li Ye had promised this, Zheng Zhen knew that the other party would definitely not break his promise, so he stopped asking about it, "Old minister... The old minister has another word, cut... Your Majesty can't be in a hurry when it comes to cutting the domain, age is Your Majesty's greatest advantage! ”

Li Ye nodded, "Zheng Qing rest assured, I have a bottom in my heart about this matter, and I won't be in a hurry." ”

Li Ye and Zheng Jin stayed in the room for almost half an hour, although the time was long, but they didn't talk a few words, Zheng Zhen at this time spoke very hard, and the speed of speech was also very slow, so naturally he couldn't talk too much.

However, seeing that Zheng Jin's face was better than before, Li Ye was also a lot more relieved.

Then he called Zheng Ningji and Zheng's subordinates to serve Zheng Ji well, and he persuaded Zheng Ningji to say two words of relief, and then walked towards the door.

When he was about to leave the room, Zhang Wei reminded him in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, Zheng Taibao may be a return to the light." ”

Hearing this, Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then remembered how Zheng Ji looked like a terminally ill person just now, and when he didn't come back to his senses, Zheng Ningji's sad cry sounded in the back room.

Li Ye was stunned, then sighed and left the Zheng Mansion.

Zheng Ji finally left, and before he died, he didn't forget to ask him to show mercy to Li Yi's subordinates.

For Zheng Jin, Li Yi is a gentleman, and he Li Ye is also a gentleman. Although Zheng Yi knew that Li Yi was a faint monarch, as a minister who served as prime minister twice during Li Yi's reign, he still had some feelings for Li Yi.

When Li Ye left, the Zheng Mansion fell into a state of sadness, but he did not go back to the palace directly, but went to Xingqing Palace.

When looking at Li Yi, who was basking in the sun in a small pavilion next to the dragon pond with the support of the eunuch and palace maid, Li Ye directly withdrew the others, and then sat on the stone bench next to Li Yi. Zhang Wei was worried that the stone bench was too cold and wanted to put a cushion, but Li Ye refused.

"Brother Huang, Zheng Zheng is gone, just now."

Li Yi didn't look back, but his body was shocked.

At this time, Li Yi was paralyzed in later generations, and his body was inconvenient to move, but he was still conscious. A person who is less than thirty years old is actually paralyzed, and few people may believe it in the future, but Li Yi at this time is undoubtedly paralyzed.

Li Yi didn't speak, and Li Ye didn't force him to answer, but said to himself, "Before Zheng Qing left, I was asking me what to do to you, Brother Huang. I know that Zheng Qing's resignation was related to me forcing you to abdicate, not all because of physical reasons, and I didn't blame him.

As an incompetent king, you have such a loyal minister who will not forget you before he dies, and I don't know what kind of blessing you have cultivated in your life.

I promised him that he wouldn't harm you, and how long you can live depends on you, brother.

I don't know if anyone in Xingqing Palace told you that I recovered Longyou and re-established the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. What the imperial grandfather, the father, and the imperial brother you didn't do, I did it, if the imperial brother could live a few more years, you would see how I made Li Keyong kneel in front of me to ask for guilt, and Zhu Wen, these disobedient feudal towns, I will clean them up one by one.

Okay, I won't disturb the royal brother, you have rested, and you can recuperate! ”

No one knew what Li Ye and Li Yi said, there were only two brothers in the pavilion at that time, no one else, even Zhang Wei was waiting outside the pavilion.

However, the eunuchs and palace maids who served Li Yi found that after Li Ye left, the emperor Li Yi sat in the pavilion in a daze, and let the eunuch and palace maid next to him shout, but there was no answer, so he sat in the pavilion for a few hours.

Zheng Jin's death caused a lot of waves in the court.

Li Ye did not treat Zheng Zheng badly, and issued an order to posthumously present Zheng Jin's wife, nicknamed Wenzhao.

Of course, Zheng Ningji also resigned from the post of secretary of the Criminal Department and a member of the cabinet because of the death of his father Zheng Jin, and chose to serve his father for three years.

Li Ye didn't keep it, it's not that he is unkind, he doesn't want to destroy this discipline system, he can come as he wants.

With the death of Zheng Jin, Zheng Ningji resigned, and the imperial court also ushered in a small personnel change.

At the same time, with the stabilization of the situation in Shannan Dongdao, it is not suitable for Zheng Congyan to continue to serve as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao as a scholar in Shannan Province, and at the same time, Sun Ye, the envoy of Sichuan Daojiedu, is no longer suitable to serve as a landlord because of his age.

As a result, three important positions suddenly became vacant.

Although the power of the festival has become smaller, the ministers of the DPRK and China are still very enthusiastic about the position of the festival, and they all want to compete for these vacant positions.

Whether it is the envoy of the Sichuan Provincial Festival, or the Shannan Dongdao Envoy, or the secretary of the Criminal Department, they are all important positions and cannot be sloppy.

After careful consideration, Li Ye finally made a decision.

Zhongshu Shilang Du Rangneng was transferred to the Sichuan Provincial Section;

As for the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy, Zheng Congyan still served as the envoy, but he was removed from his posts as a scholar in the middle of the chamberlain and the cabinet.

Sun Ye was transferred back to Chang'an to lead Jingzhao Mu, and was not responsible for the actual work of Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion was still in charge of Yin Li Yingxu of Jingzhao Mansion. However, in order to balance, Sun Chen, the second eldest of the three brothers of the Sun family, was transferred to the political envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and Liu Lin, the land of Liu Qi, was transferred to the Sima of the Sichuan Road March.

And Wei Zhaodu, one of Li Yi's former ministers, was also reactivated, but it became Shannan Dongdao Xuezheng. Although Xuezheng is the lowest weight among the big members, it can be regarded as getting out of the trough, and it is still much better than Kong Wei who was left aside.

And the one who took over as the secretary of the Criminal Department was Pei Zhen, who was also from Wenxi Pei, but he did not enter the cabinet.

Therefore, the new cabinet members became Pei Rong, Li Zhen, Wang Hui, Liu Chongwang, Li, Li Mi and Xiao Rong.

Although Li Ye did not establish the so-called chief scholar of the cabinet, Pei Rong, who was born in the history of the Shouwang Mansion, is undoubtedly the first person in the cabinet, but Pei Rong is relatively low-key and generally does not get involved in court disputes.

Although Pei Zhen served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, which made Wen Xi Pei's influence in the court a little greater, the most surprising thing was Xiao Rong's entry into the cabinet.

You must know that many years ago, Xiao Rong was just a state assassin in Bazhou, but he didn't expect that now he became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and entered the cabinet, becoming one of the ministers in the center of power.

Surprise is surprise, but since the decree has been made, there is no possibility of changing it. It's just that some people still wonder that after Du Rang can be transferred, the vacant position of Zhongshu Shilang is not held, which makes people have more reverie.
