Chapter 1053: Save some face

The moment Li Shimin closed his eyes, the cries of Li Zhi and Li Mingda burst out as if they were out of control. They went crazy and called out to their father, but unfortunately, their father would never respond to them, not even half a word.

The eunuch who was guarding outside heard the cry inside and hurriedly came in to appease Li Zhi and Li Mingda, and the imperial doctor waiting outside the hall walked into the hall with weak hands and feet, and after Li Shimin diagnosed his pulse, he almost sat on the ground and announced in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...... Immortals are gone! ”

"Nope! Father didn't leave! Father just fell asleep! You quack! You quacks! Cure my father for me! Otherwise, I will punish you." ”

The two imperial doctors were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, and they almost collapsed on the ground, constantly kowtowing to apologize, begging Li Zhi not to kill them.

At this time, Li Zhi suffered a huge mental impact and had already lost his mind. Ordered the warriors outside the palace to drag the two imperial doctors out to punish the crime.

In the end, Li Mingda interceded for the two imperial doctors, because these two imperial doctors had taken care of her for a period of time, although Li Mingda was heartbroken, but she inherited the gentle character of the eldest grandson queen very perfectly, and begged Li Zhi bitterly at this time, which spared the lives of the two imperial doctors.

After a while, a melodious bell rang in the palace, sounding a little sad.

In the yamen outside the palace, all the ministers who were working stopped what they were doing for a moment, showing disbelief and sad expressions, they knew very well the meaning of the bell - it was the death knell of the emperor's death! In other words, Li Shimin ...... Immortals are gone!

Soon, groups of ministers gathered outside the palace gate, and in Chang'an City, regardless of the size of the official position, all came to wait outside the palace gate. At the same time, groups of soldiers went to the streets with knives, splashed the streets with clean water, and all the people returned to their houses and were not allowed to walk around the streets at will, and the entire Chang'an City entered the highest level of martial law. There was no one on the street except the soldiers who came and went!

An hour later, Li Zhi, supported by the eunuch Wanfu, went out of the palace to meet the minister in plain white.

Under the gaze of Li Zhi's six gods, the ministers all knelt down and bowed.

The eldest grandson Wuji took out a secret decree, stepped forward and walked in front of Li Zhi, and said softly: "Your Highness, this is Your Majesty's edict, do you want to read it now?" ”

Li Zhi raised his empty eyes and glanced at Eldest Sun Wuji, and nodded slightly. The eldest grandson Wuji immediately turned around and nodded towards Cheng Yanjin. Then tremblingly, he read out Li Shimin's edict.

The content of the edict is very simple, and the central idea is only one - to establish Li Zhi as the new emperor! All officials in the world should do their best to assist, and there must be no mistakes.

After reading it out, the eldest grandson Wuji coldly glanced at all the ministers present, especially the princes, and his every move fell in his eyes.

"By the edict of His Majesty, the new emperor should be established, do you have any objections?"

Cheng Yanjin took a step forward and waved his hand vigorously, and the surrounding Praetorian Guard warriors took a step forward with weapons in their hands, if anyone dared to raise an objection at this time, it could be guaranteed that this person would not live for more than thirty seconds and would be killed on the spot by the Janissaries who were eyeing him!

"Ministers are no different! Congratulations to welcome Your Majesty to the throne, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin also knelt down and saw the new emperor.

Li Zhi watched the ministers salute him, and was a little dazed for a moment, the emperor's hat at the pinnacle of power fell on his head at once, he felt a little overwhelmed, and wanted to give up and run away, but the responsibility told him that he couldn't do that. He once promised his father that he would carry the whole world, but ...... But he really didn't expect this day to come so suddenly! Suddenly, he didn't have time to grieve, he didn't have time to suffer, the heavy responsibility of tens of millions of square kilometers and tens of millions of people in Datang suddenly fell on his thin shoulders!

What to do? He didn't know that his mind was very messy now, and it was too late for him to think about it.

"Your Majesty, it's time to let the ministers get even." Wanfu reminded softly in Li Zhi's ear.

Li Zhi followed Wanfu and said numbly: "Everyone, Aiqing...... Flatten. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers got up.

Seeing Li Zhi standing there at a loss, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed, comforted Li Zhi lightly, and after getting Li Zhi's approval, he arranged the next things.

This scene made Chen Fei, who was standing among the courtiers, secretly frown.

What the eldest grandson Wuji did today is a bit out of bounds. Even if Li Zhi is young and doesn't know how to deal with himself now, as an uncle and the first prime minister, you should try your best to guide Li Zhi and teach him, instead of taking it over!

What's more, His Majesty died not long ago, and the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and you, as a courtier, will inevitably make people feel like they have a monopoly on power.

The new emperor's prestige is insufficient, I am afraid that more people will be attracted to take refuge in the eldest grandson Wuji, so that in this way, won't he be the one in charge of the court?

No wonder the eldest grandson Wuji in history ended up like this, all of this is probably his own trouble, and today, he has already planted cause and effect for himself. It's no wonder that His Majesty summoned him alone, I'm afraid His Majesty had already expected such a scene, so he wanted him to check and balance the power of the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, at this time, Chen Fei obviously couldn't say anything, otherwise he would offend the eldest grandson Wuji to death! And he doesn't have the capital to compete with him now.

He needs a chance, a chance to really compete with the eldest grandson Wuji, otherwise, he is undoubtedly killing himself now! So what he has to do now is ...... Low profile! Well, he's always been a very low-key person. It was, and it is.

If you want to carry a black pot or something in the future, please let Xu Jingzong go up!

Chen Fei did not follow the minister to go in to mourn Li Shimin's remains, he came to Li Zhi's side, because he knew that what Li Zhi needed most now was not the position of the emperor, this right, but a sense of security that could make him feel at ease.

Unfortunately, all the ministers didn't know about Li Zhi's panic and uneasiness, and at this moment, only Chen Fei came to his side and comforted him lightly.

Li Zhi put Buddha and grabbed the life-saving straw, and the person in his twenties actually leaned directly on Chen Fei's shoulder and cried.

As Chen Fei expected, Li Zhi was indeed not ready to accept the throne, it all came so suddenly that he didn't even know what to do next!

"Zicheng! I... I'm so scared! This huge country, I ......"

"Your Majesty!" Chen Fei woke up Li Zhi and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are already the emperor of this country, it is useless to escape, weakness will only make you more cowardly!" Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you told me before? Was that day's ambition just an impromptu empty talk? Your Majesty, if you are strong, the country will be strong, if you are weak, the country will also be weak, and the minister implores Your Majesty to give priority to state affairs, and the former emperor Yingling will definitely be pleased with Your Majesty. ”

"I ...... I ......"

Chen Fei reminded: "Your Majesty, you should call 'me'. ”

Li Zhi looked at Chen Fei in a daze, a little at a loss. Chen Fei sighed, and then leaned into Li Zhi's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, please, save some face for everyone, okay?" ”
