It's night.

In the Tai Chi Palace, in the back bed.

When Mei Niang entered the palace, she was in a mess all over the place-

Li Zhi had already smashed everything that could and couldn't be smashed clean, and even the seal of the Tang Emperor was lying alone in the broken porcelain at the moment.

Li Zhi's eyes were red, and his hair was slightly messy and stood in the ruin-like hall, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Even the father's legacy to the prime minister must be accepted......

Even the widows have to be driven out......

Are they really ignorant and incompetent to the point where they are at their mercy!!

Isn't it?! ”

The shouts echoed in the hall for a long time, and on one side, including De'an, all the servants knelt on the ground, trembling in panic, waiting for the wrath of the Son of Heaven to leave.

Seeing this, Mei Niang didn't move, just silently walked into the ruins, held the seal that was too huge for her with both hands, looked at it carefully, and found no harm, then turned her head and walked towards Li Zhi, and presented it in front of him:

"If you can't find the right person to spread fire, Mei Niang can find a lot for you immediately......

It's just Zhilang, you have to remember that this emperor's seal represents not only the dignity of Zhilang, your Tang Emperor, but also the well-being of the entire Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu and the first emperor have worked hard, a lifetime, and even your life, Mei Niang's life, Hong'er's life, and this child's ......"

Mei Niang looked down at her lower abdomen, which had begun to bulge slightly, and then looked up and said:

"Therefore, if you are angry, it is the anger of the Son of Heaven, you can throw anything, smash anything, only this thing, don't hurt it!"

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang in a daze, and suddenly laughed for a while, laughing forward and backward, laughing so painful that his abdomen was like twisting, laughing so much that his muscles were exposed, his face was red with laughter, and tears were pouring out of his laughter:

"The Son of Heaven...... The blessing of Datang?!

Really?

As the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, I can't even keep my two brothers who love me the most......

What kind of genius am I?!

What kind of king?!

What else is this emperor?! ”

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi, who had all his beard, nodded, and said softly:

"Indeed......

At present, it really does not have the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the dignity of the emperor......

But Jiro, it's just a seal, and these things are not something he was born with.

But His Majesty Emperor Gaozu, the first emperor, and Jiro himself, brought it to ......

Jiro, Jiro...... My lord, my majesty, if you don't believe that it has the power of the Son of Heaven, the dignity of the emperor, and can command the world......

So who else will believe it? ”

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi affectionately and asked softly.

But such a gentle voice, to Li Zhi's ears, was as straight as thunder rumbling, deafening!

Oh, yes......

If you don't believe in it anymore, then how can it represent the power of the Son of Heaven, the dignity of the emperor, how can it command the world?

It...... After all, it's just a seal, a dead thing, and what can really bring it to life......

It's yourself......

It's yourself!!

It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

Li Zhi was under the candlelight, looking at the watch, while silently waiting for a person to arrive.

Soon, outside the hall, there was a sound of the British Duke Li Ji asking to see him.

"Biography."

Li Zhi snapped the recital and said lightly.

As one after another "Chuan British Gong Li Ji" sounded, soon, an old minister who was over fifty years old but still in a flying mood walked in.

"Minister Li Ji, see ......"

"Please hurry up in the UK, no need to be polite."

Li Zhi hurriedly got up, came down the steps, and personally helped Li Ji up.

Li Ji said that he was frightened, and after repeatedly insisting on finishing the salute, he got up and said:

"I don't know what the Lord has to call the old minister to come today, what is the command?"

Li Zhi looked at him fixedly for a while before saying:

"British duke, there is a vacancy at the moment, I am interested in you, but Uncle Yuan and the ministers seem to think that it is more appropriate for Yu Suiliang or the queen's father, Wang Renyou......

How is it?

This time, do you still want to be honored? ”

Li Ji's heart trembled, raised his eyes to look at Li Zhi, and said softly after a while:

"Has the Lord decided?"

"It's decided."

Li Zhi's expression was calm:

"There's always a beginning."

Li Ji bowed his head and saluted again - this time, Li Zhi did not stop him.

"The minister is the minister of the lord, but he has the king's life, and he should die as if he were home!"

In March of the fourth year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was vacant because of the vacancy, and he ordered to open the palace and change it to the third division Li Ji.

……

Another night.

Changan.

The eldest grandson of the house.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the somewhat aggrieved Sui Liang, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:

"Suiliang, this is your appearance.

If you really talk about it, it is the position of the old man, and Li Ji can also sit it. ”

Yu Suiliang raised his eyes and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said:

"The teacher thinks that the student is bored because he can't be in a high position?

Definitely, definitely! ”

He sighed heavily and said:

"Teacher, since the students can see it, then you should see that the Lord has clearly expressed some vigilance to the teacher in this trip!"

Yu Suiliang gritted his teeth and said:

"If it's on weekdays, it's fine...... But at this time when the storm was full of palaces, the lord himself gave an order......

This......

Isn't this a rumor, pointing out that you are the one behind the murder of Wu Wang Li Ke?

This...... How is it not chilling that the Lord is acting like this?! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said indifferently:

"Really?

Do you think the Lord is acting in a chilling way?

Then have you ever thought about it from the perspective of the Lord, over the years, among our Guanlong family, how many heart-warming things have been done by some courtiers in the name of seeking government for the Lord and for the peace of the Tang Dynasty?

It has been four years since the Lord's accession to the throne.

But when those court and temple discussions, the monarch is not allowed to do the king's will, and the ministers leave the courtiers, how many behaviors?

Not to mention anything else, how many holy decrees of the Lord have been stopped for no reason in the past few years in Zhongshu Province under the banner of the old man and your goodness?

Why don't you feel strange when we act like this, because once the Lord learned from us, you can't bear it, and you don't stop resenting? ”

Yu Suiliang's old face turned red, and he said softly after a while:

"yes......

Over the years......

If it weren't for the teacher's words to wake up today, Sui Liang would not have realized that the Lord had ...... over the years Lord on this dragon throne ......"

"Over the years, the dragon seat of the Lord has been extremely stable.

But at what cost?

The prestige is gone, and the trust of the monarch is lost.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has made a promise, and it cannot be moved lightly.

And now...... Nowadays, which one of the central and central governments does not take the refutation of the decree of the Son of Heaven as a common thing? ”

"But...... But the same was true when the first emperor was there. ”

"It seemed to be the same when the first emperor was there, but when you and I think about it, we know that there are many differences-

When the first emperor was there, although he was also admonished, but after all, no one dared to say a word about his own recital, and the first emperor would inevitably approve it in full......

But now?

Two days ago, a new little imperial commander in the DPRK dared to shout at the national abbot, saying that if the other party angered him, then he would inevitably go to the book to refer to him to rely on his position and be a powerful and blessed script, and he dared to say it......

I dare to say that the Lord will definitely approve it......

Sui Liang, do you think this kind of atmosphere is really like the Qingming political phenomenon when the first emperor was there? ”

Yu Suiliang opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he couldn't say yes:

Oh, yes......

It's still different after all.

In the final analysis, although the first emperor of the year was also receptive, he still grasped the trend of the entire government, and there was no momentum of today's monarch without prestige, and the ministers were close to suppressing the monarch.
