Chapter 667: Emperor Li has finally retired
There are times when strangers speak more effectively than relatives and friends. After Sun Simiao left on this day, Li Zhi still did not order the curfew of the Zhenguan Palace, and sat alone at the desk in a daze, until the lights went out at night, Wang Fushun came to persuade him to go to bed, and he woke up in a daze.
If someone else said it like Sun Simiao, he would definitely be angry and denounced as alarmist and ill-intentioned, but that was a famous medicine king, and he never met a miracle doctor who welcomed the officialdom and the powerful, so he would never perfunctory him on this kind of issue. Moreover, the eight words of decay before old age and exhaustion of oil and lamp withering are really terrible. I don't think he wanted to live a few more years when he abdicated, could it be that he had to follow those old ministers so soon?
Li Jixu Jingzong's ones all survived past eighty, and his old mother-in-law even lived past ninety, why can't he? So, after a night of tossing and turning in bed, Li Zhi finally made a final decision.
He can no longer care about state affairs, but Mingtang must be built!
No one thought that Li Zhi would suddenly appear in the Chang Dynasty, and no one would have thought that the emperor, who was tired and obviously had not slept well at night, would suddenly propose that the emperor had reached adulthood, and that he would no longer ask about state affairs if the special court was dismissed once every five days in the future. Under the news of such a heavyweight earthquake, many people under Rao is have super ability to resist attacks, and they can't help but be stunned in place.
Li Xian, a well-informed person, had already learned that Sun Simiao had gone to see his father yesterday, but in his expectation, Sun Simiao was notoriously ignorant of the world and would definitely not persuade anything, so the news just now really stunned him. However, yesterday a father was still in the court, saying that the courtiers did not put him in their eyes after retiring, and today he doesn't want to capture the old and prepare for a bigger storm, right?
On this occasion, even if 1,000 people and 10,000 people remain silent, Li Hong, who has now become His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, cannot remain silent. He immediately got out of his seat. said with a sincere face that he lacked experience in governing the country and needed the guidance of his father. However, Li Zhi once again showed the iron-hearted side of eating the scales.
"I thought about it all night last night, it has been a year and a half since I abdicated, and you have been the emperor for a year and a half, plus the years when I was the prince and the governor of the country before, and I have already accumulated experience in governing the world, and it is only right for me to retire to the deep palace to live in the old age." After saying such a thing flatly, he immediately accentuated his tone, "I have first built a Ming Hall. Since the cost of the hall is too large, then I will not be confined to a year. Five years, I can wait five years! ”
"Five years later, I want to see a Ming Hall, presumably the emperor and Zhuqing will not fail to fulfill the last wish of this old man, right?"
These words are already very heavy, and the courtiers below will inevitably shout long live after the collective aphasia. It wasn't until Li Zhi left surrounded by the inner servants that the courtiers and ministers recovered a little from the shock just now. There is a saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, that is, there will be no more two suns in this court now?
Shangguan Yi stood down. I sighed inexplicably. He himself is a courtier who Li Zhi has picked up, although he feels that this son of heaven is capricious and unpredictable, but now that he heard that the emperor will no longer be in the court in the future, he still has a strong sense of loss. Looking at the other people around him, he found that there were many people with the same expressions as him, and thinking about the five-year covenant proposed by Li Zhi, he only felt that his head was faintly swollen.
Today's court meeting did not come to the Empress Wu. One is because she wants to think carefully about the reason for her husband Li Zhi's recent abnormal activities. The second is that she has to sort out her mood and face this messy situation. So, when Ah Qian came in with a strange look. When she said that Li Xian had come, she suddenly felt her heart shrink, and there was an inexplicable palpitation.
As soon as Li Xian entered the door, he said straight to the point: "Does the queen mother know that my father announced in the court today that there will be no five-day court from now on." He will live in the Zhenguan Palace. ”
If Li Xian said that Li Zhi is shining again in the court today. Then Empress Wu may still feel normal, but these words are too inexplicable. She jerked down the dossier in her hand. Huo Di stood up and wanted to ask a question, but all the words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't spit out a word.
"Your father...... Just one day, your father actually made such a decision? You didn't even discuss it with me! ”
Empress Wu was shocked, but more than that, angry. This has happened twice! The last time she was about to abdicate abruptly, she even set up Li Xian as the prince at the succession ceremony, but she didn't know anything about it in advance. This time, he suddenly said that he didn't care about state affairs from now on, and he didn't inform her of a few words. Could it be that the influence she has painstakingly built up over the years has now disappeared?
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself: "Did your father ever mention me?" ”
"Nope." This is Li Xian's biggest wonder and doubt, this emperor doesn't care about state affairs, and it stands to reason that the queen shouldn't care, but this kind of common sense is often difficult to take effect on people like Empress Wu. After announcing this, the partial-born father did not mention the arrangements of the martial arts, which is undoubtedly extremely rare. Of course, it is enough to prove that Li Zhi's so-called thoughtfulness is actually a whim.
After pondering for a long time, Empress Wu's annoyance gradually faded, and she gradually regained her former self-confidence and composure, and interrogated Li Xian again and sent her son away. Immediately after her, she called the palace people to change their clothes, but this time she did not wear a dark blue formal dress, but chose a crimson floor-length skirt, put on a long shirt of the same color outside, and took a few palace attendants to the direction of Zhenguan Palace.
Li Xian, who hadn't gone far, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he saw this scene. Looking at this situation, the possibility of his parents breaking out into a war is definitely relatively low---- his mother has always been moved in front of his father, and rarely knows reason. After a protracted battle, the final result is likely to be that Daddy backs down and Mom wins.
Counting on Empress Wu to retire from the stage of history? As long as his father Li Zhi is alive for one day, it is wishful thinking! Of course, in all fairness, he still hoped that Empress Wu would stay, thinking that the two Taishang went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer and leave him such a mess, he really wanted to cry without tears. It doesn't matter if the capricious dad who always causes chaos retires and retires, but if the mother also retires with the elderly, it will be a waste of resources!
Thinking that there was nothing important in the past few days, he walked out of Changle Gate gracefully, bypassing many government departments in the imperial city, and preparing to quietly leave the palace from Zuoye Gate. However, before he could rejoice that he had escaped, a person suddenly flashed out of the doorway, and hehe sneered and grabbed his sleeve.
"Lao Hao and I are on the side, I don't believe I can let you slip out!"
Seeing the old Shangguan's iron-green face, Li Xian didn't know that the plan to skip work had failed, but he was not stunned, and invited the chief prime minister to his house for a drink. Seeing Shangguan Yi's expression of don't take me for a fool, he had no choice but to let the other party drag him aside, and muttered something before anyone could open his mouth to ask.
It was the first time for Li Xian to see Shangguan Yi look so depressed, although he didn't think it was necessary, he still patted the shoulder of the person and comforted him paradoxically. In the end, before the old Shangguan could react, he quickly walked out of the left door, got on the horse and slipped away.
"So, this is a real change......
raised his head and disappeared Li Xian, but Shangguan Yi did not jump like thunder as before, but after muttering to himself on the spot, he sighed heavily, and went to the right gate to meet Hao Chujun who was guarding there. There is a way that once the son of heaven and a courtier, although the current emperor Li Hong should not be the kind of person who likes the new and hates the old and can't tolerate their old ministers, but the preparations that should be there are still needed.
Wait, Li Zhi doesn't care about state affairs, so what about the Empress Wu?
After meeting with Hao Chujun and discussing it, the hearts of the two veteran prime ministers suddenly became lively. Can this scene of the brilliant Tang Dynasty chicken Sichen come to an end?
There are not a few people who have the same wish as Shangguan Yi Hao Chujun, at least in the political hall, there is Pei Xingjian, who was once demoted to Xizhou because of his criticism of the military queen, and he is also thinking about such a question in his heart. Li Jingxuan and Liu Zhi, who only relied on the Empress Wu to sit in this position, were quite uneasy in their hearts. And Pei Yan, who was in the prime of life, did not show any expression that could make people catch the clues.
He was a courtier personally promoted by Li Zhi, and at the same time he was favored by the Empress Wu, and his friendship with Li Xian was quite good. From this point of view, Pei Yan was invincible early.
And when a large number of powerful people were racking their brains, Wei Yuanzhong, a former student who was ordered to study government affairs under the Zhongshu Sect, was also anxious about his future. The era of Emperor Li Zhi has obviously passed, should he show loyalty to the emperor, or should he move closer to the prince, or should he go off the rails to show favor to the Empress Taishang?
Few people guessed that such a heavyweight decision was just a warning made by a miracle doctor of Xianyun Wild Crane.
Li Xian guessed it, but even if he guessed, could he still go to Sun Simiao for confirmation? Besides, he was deeply grateful for his father's wisdom and decisiveness this time, after all, the more this kind of thing dragged on, the greater the trouble might be, and there was no one in the sky and no one in the people, and the end of this pattern was definitely a great thing. He no longer has to worry about his father's capriciousness, and can sleep well at home.
However, as if God couldn't get used to seeing him continue to be lazy, late that night, the quiet palace of the emperor's brother suddenly made a commotion, and from top to bottom, all the sleeping people were awakened in their sleep. And when Li Xian put on his clothes and felt the ground, he only felt that his scalp was numb.
The eldest sister is actually about to give birth! There is at least a month and a half left before the scheduled date!
