Everyone has weaknesses, and Li Zhi is no exception, when it comes to his own core interests, he is very decisive and has a very clear goal, and he has no problem in this regard.

The problem that Li Zhi is most afraid of encountering is the current situation, where his interests are involved on both sides, but his core interests are not touched, and his indecisive character is exposed.

And the most powerful thing about Wu Meiniang is that she is ruthless enough and acts very resolutely, it can be seen from the alliance of the bed, usually at this time, Wu Meiniang can give Li Zhi a lot of help, which is also the main reason why Li Zhi regards Wu Meiniang as a political ally, husband and wife are about love, and the political alliance is ability, if Wu Meiniang is not capable, Li Zhi will marry her, but it is unlikely that she will come out to help him preside over government affairs.

It's just that this time it just involves Wu Meiniang's own interests, of course Wu Meiniang is more decisive, she doesn't need to consider Li Zhi's political interests, this matter is only about her future, and even her life, she knows that this matter can't be delayed, if it drags on, then she is determined to carry this black pot, however, as long as she carries this pot, then her political career will end here, because this can't be unloaded.

Li Zhi is also under great pressure, because only he can abolish Wu Meiniang, if he doesn't act, then this account has to be counted on his head, he still wants to let Wu Meiniang go back to the harem and keep the position of queen first, but he didn't expect Wu Meiniang to take the initiative to take on all this and prove his innocence, which is reasonable, and he will not refuse Wu Meiniang's request.

So on the second day, Li Zhi immediately held a reuse meeting in the Liangyi Palace, and Wu Meiniang also participated in person.

When the ministers saw Wu Meiniang coming out again, they really silently pinched a cold sweat in their hearts, which was obviously a-for-tat.

In fact, this can also be regarded as a continuation of the struggle between Wu Meiniang and the Guanlong Group.

Because this Shangguan Yi is also a member of the Guanlong Group with a strong foundation, the Shangguan family is a big nobleman in Guanzhong, but he was just a scholar at the time, not a major member, he had no power, and he didn't offend Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi, Li Zhi didn't want to kill them all, he just killed those who could threaten him, people like Shangguan Yi would never be able to threaten him, if he wanted to kill Shangguan Yi, then Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, and Zhao Zhiman would be even more damned.

But Laiji and Han Ying are all friends of Shangguan Yi, in Shangguan Yi's heart, they were definitely slandered by Wu Meiniang, and he knows the truth, if you want to say that Shangguan Yi did not have a little selfishness in this matter, it is impossible.

In fact, this is also in response to that sentence, if you are confused, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

The same is true for Han Yi, don't look at the calm in the DPRK and China, but if Han Yi really falls into the pit one day, someone will definitely pour oil into it.

Li Zhi doesn't care much about these now, the current disaster is the most important, he went straight to the point and said Wu Meiniang's appeal, he won't say that he wants Wu Meiniang to be responsible, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, because this is a natural disaster, and it hurts the people, of course, if you don't get involved, try not to get involved.

So far, no one has blamed Li Zhi.

This was impossible in previous natural disasters, that is, Wu Meiniang helped Li Zhi block a lot of arrows.

"Your Majesty, by all means, this move is undoubtedly intensifying."

When Shangguan Yi heard this, he immediately jumped out and said, "This time the locust plague is God's desire to warn Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty still go against the sky!" ”

Before Li Zhi could speak, Wu Meiniang sneered: "Shangguan University Scholar is really domineering!" ”

At this point, Shangguan Yi was not afraid of Wu Meiniang, and asked, "I don't know what the queen means by this?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "You have always said that this natural disaster was caused by me, let me ask you, do you have any evidence?" ”

Shangguan Yi snorted: "This is not my family's words, if the queen doesn't believe it, she can go outside the palace to listen to the people's discussions." During the period when His Majesty personally presided over the government affairs, not to mention natural disasters of this scale, even the disasters were rarely heard of, but as soon as the queen came out to preside over the government affairs, a crisis immediately broke out, this time it was like this, this time it was like this, I don't know how the queen explained all this? ”

Wu Meiniang said: "In the last crisis, I have admitted that I made mistakes in it, but it was also caused by man-made disasters, it was Li Yifu who did not implement the law properly, and bent the law for personal gain, and did not thoroughly implement the policies of the imperial court, which led to the outbreak of danger, this situation has also appeared in all dynasties, what does this have to do with God?" And this time, it has nothing to do with me, and you can't prove that it has anything to do with me, but you are the minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and you are a scholar of Hongbunkan, how can you bring the false rumors of those citizens to the court to testify. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Di Renjie and Eldest Sun Yan, "Di Shaoqing, Eldest Sun Shilang." ”

"The minister is here."

"One of you is in charge of Dali Temple, and the other is in charge of the Criminal Department, you say, is there any evidence to prove that this matter is related to me?"

Di Renjie and Eldest Sun Yan shook their heads one after another.

Shangguan Yi said: "How can this matter be proved by evidence, the queen, you should have stayed in the harem and managed the harem for Your Majesty, this queen's interference in politics is a taboo in the court, and you have repeatedly intervened in the government, not only did not play any role, but made my Tang Dynasty is a disaster, this is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, the ironclad fact is definitely not the minister's malicious slander of the queen." ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head with a smile and said: "No matter how much you say, it's all empty words, and you can't prove it yourself, so that's it, but you don't allow others to prove whether this matter is related to me, what are you not domineering?" ”

Shangguan Yi was surprised: "When will I not allow others to prove it?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Then why don't you allow me to deal with this matter?" The reason why I beg His Majesty to leave this matter to me is to prove that this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

Shangguan Yi frowned and said, "Then I don't know how the queen plans to prove it?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Since you think that this natural disaster is directed against me by God, well, now that I personally come forward to preside over this matter, if God really wants to punish me, the disaster will definitely be further expanded, but if I can quickly quell this natural disaster, then it proves that this is a natural disaster, not against me." ”

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "What if the queen can't stop this disaster?" ”

Wu Meiniang said decisively: "I will immediately go to Yangzhou to become a nun and never set foot in Guanzhong." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.

That's a gamble!

Li Ji suddenly stood up and said, "Empress, the old minister can't make such a fuss about this matter. ”

Han Yi also stood up and said, "Please also ask the queen to think twice!" ”

Zhang Wenguan and the others all stood up and dissuaded one after another, but this is only the duty of a courtier, and does not represent any political position.

Wu Meiniang said: "Thank you, but I have made up my mind, because I also want to know the answer." If I can't prove this, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will think that I am an ominous woman, in that case, let alone the position of the queen, I will not be ashamed to live in this world. ”

Everyone looked at Li Zhi again.

Li Zhi groaned for a while, swept away his eyes, and said, "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with the queen, are you willing to believe it?" ”

Everyone was silent, they didn't dare to take this risk, because this was not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster, and no one could prove the cause of this natural disaster.

Li Zhi waited for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then let's decide so." ”

With that, he got up and left.

How can he also be Wu Meiniang's husband, he can't have no temper at all, and this also means that he doesn't believe it, it's just that you people are aggressive, I, as the monarch, you use the people and the country's fortune to force me to abolish the queen, I really have no way to do it.

What is the result of this matter, Li Zhi's reputation will not be harmed in any way, if Wu Meiniang loses, then Li Zhi is to give up his love for the people, this is definitely a model of killing himself, sacrificing himself for righteousness, and benevolence, but if Wu Meiniang wins, it also proves that he believes in the queen, which is right.

But in this case, there is no room for manoeuvre in this matter.

If Wu Meiniang can't stop it, she must go to Yangzhou to become a monk.

However, Zhang Wenguan and they are not very optimistic about Wu Meiniang, because this is a natural disaster, and in the face of natural disasters today's technology, there is only one way, which is to pray.

"Shang Shuling, you come to the political affairs hall."

As soon as Li Zhi left, Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Han Yi, only to see that Han Yi was stunned.

After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she walked out with her head held high.

Han Yi sighed and muttered, "Just say that this Shangshu Order is not deserved, everything has to do with me, it's really dependent." ”

But everyone heard it and walked out in silence.

"It turns out that the queen wants to bet on Han Yi!"

Wang Xuandao whispered.

I'm afraid that they have already agreed on a way to get rid of the locusts. Cui Jijian said: "Then do you think the queen is right?" ”

Wang Xuandao groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Whether it is because of the queen or not, this natural disaster is a natural disaster, but it is the work of God, how can people overcome the sky." ”

Cui Jijian said: "Then do you think the queen is wrong?" ”

Wang Xuandao shook his head and said: "I told you before that Han Yi itself is a variable, and this variable can change many things, so the irresistible will of heaven has become unpredictable, so I think only Han Yi can turn the tide, if Han Yi can't, then it is also the queen's life that has this calamity." ”

......

The Hall of Politics.

"That's it! I have no way out. ”

When Han Yi came to the political hall, Wu Meiniang didn't invite him to sit down, and said directly.

Han Yi sat down and said, "If becoming a monk is not a way out, then you really have no way out now, queen." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Do you think I'm in the mood to tell you this now?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm such an optimistic person." Han Yi smiled, and said with a straight face: "Queen, you will order Cui Jijian, Wang Xuandao, Changsun Yan, and Di Renjie to go to the affected state capitals, natural disasters are not terrible, they are afraid of man-made disasters, because once a natural disaster occurs, there will be chaos everywhere, this is the best time to fish in troubled waters, and a few of them are relatively upright, at this time, you can only use people like them, and my requirements for them are not high, just control the granary." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, you also need to ask my father-in-law to mobilize some forbidden troops and go with you, on the one hand, to protect you, and on the other hand, to maintain stability at that time." ”

Wu Meiniang asked, "What about you?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "I still have to go to Sanmen Mountain, but it won't take long for us to meet in Luoyang." ”
