Quiet!

The air seemed to gradually solidify because of Cui Jijian's words.

Everyone looked at Cui Jijian in surprise, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, are you crazy? Why did I do that before, didn't I just want to stop Wu Meiniang, now that Your Majesty has given up, you mention this again, you villain.

"That's not going to work."

This time, it was Zhang Wenguan's turn to catch fire, and with a bang, the old man also jumped up and scolded Cui Jijian angrily: "Cui Zhongcheng, do you know what you are talking about? It is a taboo for the country to interfere in the politics of this harem, and if you say so, you are simply a vain minister. ”

He has no entanglement with Wu Meiniang, but he is resolutely against this, because he is strict by nature, Wu Meiniang made such a big mistake before, the crime should be punished, and if she is not punished, it is enough to save face, and Wu Meiniang can no longer be used in public or private.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't make a sound, and watched them quietly.

Cui Jijian said: "I don't know if Zhang Shangshu thinks that Empress Xiaowen Dou of the Western Han Dynasty and Queen Dugu of the former dynasty can be regarded as virtuous queens?" ”

Zhang Wen said: "Empress Xiaowen Dou and Empress Dugu can of course be regarded as virtuous queens. ”

Cui Jijian said: "But they all have the behavior of interfering in politics, in fact, that ordinary family, if the head of the family is sick, this hostess will also come out to take care of the housework, it is impossible to watch the family collapse." Now that Your Majesty is unwell, the Queen, as Your Majesty's wife, assists Your Majesty in handling government affairs, which is human nature, so what's wrong? ”

Liu Xiangdao got up and said: "Having said that, the queen made a lot of mistakes before, which led to chaos in the country, even if we agreed, the people of the world would not agree." ”

Cui Jijian said: "This is wrong, the queen's new policy was actually for the sake of the people, at the beginning of the promulgation of the queen's new policy, the two did not object, and they also participated in it, only because of Li Yifu's poor implementation, which led to the outbreak of the crisis, which cannot be blamed on the queen." ”

Zhang Wen was furious, you are simply talking nonsense with your eyes open, your eyes are round, and you said: "Is the queen promulgating the new policy for the people, don't you know?" ”

At the beginning, everyone knew what happened, and the queen went to Han Yi.

Wang Xuandao hurriedly got up and said: "Who has no fault in this person, he can change his mistakes, and he is very good." Many of us have made mistakes, but because we are men, we are easily forgiven, and the queen's mistake is that she is a woman. To say a big disrespectful word, if it was the prince's mistake, would Zhang Shangshu ask His Majesty to abolish the prince? ”

Zhang Wenguan was immediately stunned.

Wang Xuandao is usually silent, polite, and dignified, but this guy is very cloudy. If Zhang Wenguan thinks that he wants to abolish the crown prince, doesn't it mean that if the emperor makes a mistake, you have to abolish the emperor.

Di Renjie hurriedly got up and said: "Although what Wang Shilang said is not unreasonable, but this is the case, the queen is the queen, the queen is not the prince, and the queen has no power to deal with government affairs. ”

The truth is that women are humble.

Wang Xuandao said: "But as courtiers, how can we ignore Your Majesty's body, Your Majesty's body is the top priority of the country, Cui Zhongcheng suggested that the queen should come out to assist Your Majesty, not for the queen, but for the sake of Your Majesty's body, for the sake of the people of the world." ”

Zhang Wen said: "The queen has made such a big mistake, if it is so easy to forgive, then anyone can mess around in the future, if so, I would rather support the regent of Shang Shuling." ”

Your sister's! Han Yi stood up abruptly and said excitedly: "Zhang Shangshu, don't get involved with me, I resolutely refuse to agree to this, it's not that I don't want to share worries for Your Majesty, but I don't have the ability or qualification, if I have the regent, who will be convinced by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" I'm from a Tianshe'er, and I haven't studied for a few days, and I'm young, this Shangshu order is temporary, if I am allowed to be this Shangshu order for a long time, then there will definitely be chaos, don't you push me into the fire pit. ”

Zhang Wenguan looked at Han Yi and was angry, you kid is really useless, if Empress Wu returns to the court, will you be better?

Several parties are at a stalemate.

There seems to be no solution to this problem.

Li Zhi has made it very clear that it is difficult for him to handle government affairs for the time being, and he is willing to hand over power to the prime minister, but the problem is that the prime minister refuses to ask for it.

But then again, who would dare to ask for this power?

Li Zhi's body is weak, but Li Zhi is not very old, his illness is sometimes good and sometimes bad, in this case, which minister dares to regent!

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Cui Jijian said again: "Your Majesty, the minister has a way to eliminate the worries in everyone's hearts, but I don't know if to say it?" ”

Li Zhi said: "But it doesn't hurt if you say it's okay, I will pardon you first." ”

Cui Jijian said: "The reason why Zhang Shangshu and they are very worried about the queen's handling of government affairs is mainly because this is not the right name, the words are not good, and the ministers do not know how to face the queen, which will inevitably cause panic in the people of the court and chaos in the system." Rather than this, it is better to formally issue an edict to give the queen some power, so that the queen can handle government affairs justifiably. ”

Zhang Wenguan is going crazy when he hears it, do I mean that? Just as he was about to speak, Cui Jijian preemptively said: "Please also ask Zhang Shangshu to listen to me." ”

Zhang Wenguan was so angry that his neck was thick!

Di Renjie and the others also shook their heads one after another, you are purely nonsense.

Cui Jijian said again: "But the queen has made a lot of mistakes before, so if she easily lets the queen come out to preside over government affairs, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will not be recognized by the people and ministers." And the minister suggested that the queen should come out to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs, but he only hoped that the queen could share some of His Majesty's pressure, so that His Majesty could rest and recuperate with peace of mind, which was an expedient measure, so the minister thought that the queen should be given some restrictions, otherwise, the minister and the people would not be at ease. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "You go on." ”

Cui Jijian said: "Every decree of the queen, as long as it belongs to government affairs, then at least half of the cardinal ministers must have the support of the cardinal ministers before they can be passed, in other words, the cardinal ministers have the power to veto all the queen's decrees." ”

When Han Yi heard this, he couldn't help frowning suddenly, and quietly glanced at Cui Jijian again, his palms were slightly sweaty, could it be.... Did he see through my plan?

And Zheng Shanxing, they were also silent in thought.

Li Zhi also fell into deep thought, he didn't expect Cui Jijian to make such a suggestion.

He is now determined to ask Wu Meiniang to come out to help him, because of his physical condition, it is difficult to control the court as before, he is not Li Shimin's kind of emperor who is afraid even if he is asleep, the ministers are afraid, Li Shimin is the emperor on horseback after all, he has that kind of domineering spirit, he does not have this foundation, what he is good at is balancing power, he needs a spokesperson now, standing by his side to support him, to monitor the court, to control the situation.

At present, his body can still hold on, in case he really falls ill, it will naturally be Han Yi in power.

Since ancient times, there have been many such cases, which are based on facts, Cao Pi didn't die too early, which led to the fall of power, and that Sima Yi was cautious all his life, he boiled his opponent to death, and Han Yi is so young, he can also boil his opponent to death. Li Zhi trusts Han Yi, but he also has to guard against it, of course he doesn't want to see that kind of situation happen, and the last time Zhang Wen played with them, it already made him feel a little pressure, although Han Yi was on vacation at the time, but he would think that Han Yi must be secretly pushing, because anyone would think that Han Yi wanted Queen Wu to come out of the mountain again.

This is also why Li Zhi asked Han Yi to be regent as soon as he opened his mouth, that is, to block Han Yi's mouth first, Han Yi's current prestige is too high, if he wants to oppose it, it will be difficult to succeed, but he knows that Han Yi will not agree.

And Wu Meiniang did everything at the beginning, not to deal with Li Zhi, but to deal with Han Yi, although it was a bit excessive, but at the moment, it was very in line with Li Zhi's interests, he just didn't want the ministers to be too united, so that he could threaten the imperial power.

But he also didn't want Wu Meiniang's power to be too big, because from the last struggle, he also saw that Wu Meiniang's desire for power was not small, and she couldn't tolerate anyone who opposed her.

From this point of view, Cui Jijian's suggestion is feasible. Cui Jijian's suggestion is to limit the power of the queen, but not to limit his power, then if he hides behind, it is possible to be able to move easily and balance the two sides, and Wu Meiniang's return to the court itself has the power to limit the cardinal ministers.

This is in line with Li Zhi's current political needs.

Li Zhi weighed it for a long time and said, "I don't know what Aiqing thinks of Cui Zhongcheng's suggestion?" ”

That said, I don't have a problem.

Zhang Wenguan looked at each other, of course they didn't want to, but they also understood now that Li Zhi was playing a trick, that is, to force them to agree, if you don't agree, then the new deal will have to be delayed, and I don't want to, as soon as I open my mouth, I will let the prime minister regent.

This emperor has played a hooligan, so who can play him.

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the queen is as stubborn as before and acts arbitrarily, what should the ministers do?" ”

The identity of the queen is too special, and she can't be restricted verbally, but she can be restricted.

Li Zhi said very resolutely: "Then deal with it according to law." ”

He also has to prevent Wu Meiniang from messing up, and if he messes up the country again, it may really be over, and this is not what he wants to see.

Eldest Sun Yan immediately said: "If you want to do this, then you must legislate on this matter, and then the queen and her ministers will be able to have laws to follow." ”

"Of course."

Li Zhi nodded, he also knew that these ministers were worried, if he could, he didn't want to do it, he had no way, so as long as the ministers agreed, he could take a step back, suddenly looked at Han Yi, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Shang Shuling, what do you think?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "As long as you don't let the minister regent, the minister has no opinion." ”

Li Zhi laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "It's really rare to see such a humble courtier as Qing!" ”

Han Yi said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment." ”

Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Regarding this matter, we will discuss it here for the time being, you will first write a piece of music and hand it over, and then decide whether to do it or not." ”

"Wechen obeys."

Until this time, Li Zhi still had room to spare, and did not say that he would make a decision immediately, because it didn't count if Guangshu asked the minister to agree, and the ministers also agreed, and he also had to see how the people thought of the matter.

......

Out of the Liangyi Palace, Zheng Shanxing, Lu Shigua, and Changsun Yan immediately came to Cui Jijian's side.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Zheng Shanxing frowned and asked.

If the cardinal ministers are all against it, then Li Zhi has no choice, the problem is that Cui Jijian is a traitor, causing them to only take a step back.

Cui Jijian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zheng, don't you see it, Your Majesty is not at ease to give us all the power, you look at Han Yi's nervous appearance, if we don't bargain at this time, but blindly oppose it, then Your Majesty will use Empress Wu even more, and the situation may be even worse than now." ”

Zheng Shanxing sighed and said, "But the queen ......." ”

Wang Xuandao said with a smile: "We big men are so afraid of a woman, it is inevitable that we will lose our true character as men. ”

The eldest grandson Yan showed timidity on his face and said, "But Empress Wu is not an ordinary woman." ”

The momentum is very weak, he has a deep feeling, the eldest grandson Wuji can't play her, and we are really not necessarily the queen's opponents.

Cui Jijian said: "But we can only do this, because this is Your Majesty's will, and the more we oppose it, the more Your Majesty supports Empress Wu." As he spoke, he suddenly glanced back, this was actually what he meant, he was the real mastermind behind the scenes, and His Majesty and the Empress were just pawns in his plan.

Ever since Cui Jijian made this suggestion, Han Yi has been preoccupied, and when he got out of the hall, he walked aside alone.

Zhang Wenguan and Liu Xiangdao didn't bother to deal with him, thinking that he was too cowardly, and they were so worried about Han Yi, thinking that it must be because of Wu Meiniang.

You deserve it!

As everyone knows, Han Yicai is not worried about Wu Meiniang, he is worried, and that is because Cui Jijian told him everything he was going to say, which made him feel very uneasy. He glanced up at Cui Jijian in front of him slightly, and thought, could it be that guy really saw through my plan? It shouldn't be, with his previous performance, he shouldn't have seen through my plan. Is this just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a person, could it be that he ....... There is really this possibility, that strange man is really a headache, if he stands in front of me, I can clean him up, but he has no official position, hiding in the temple every day and reciting Buddhist scriptures, what is he going to do? Judging from Cui Jijian's performance, he should support me, but why should he support me? Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to test their father and son! No, I shouldn't have left any evidence, even if they see something, they may just guess, this may be their deliberate attempt to test me, I have to be calm, I can't mess with myself, anyway, things are still in my plan.
