Chapter 126: Fear and Rubbing Rice

Li Zhi is still dressed as a member of the Ministry of Labor today, with a green round-necked hakama robe, a belt around his waist, riding a green-haired horse, and followed by Wu Shi in a man's outfit and a Taoist robe.

They had just come out of Tamase's mountain villa.

Just now, Li Zhi told Tamase about his decision to dispose of Li Ke.

Because Li Ke was finally willing to admit his guilt, Li Zhi opened his rare net, looking at the brotherhood, and also looking at Tamase, the sister he liked, he decided to cut off Li Ke's title and official position, confiscate his Zhuangtian money, but exempt him from a capital crime.

Originally, the eldest grandson Wuji had already convicted Li Ke, the king of Wu, to be sentenced to death in Chang'an.

And now, Li Zhi decided to spare Li Ke from death, cut off the official title, demote him to a commoner, and did not even exile Li Zhi to the frontier wilderness thousands of miles away.

"Tamase has changed quite a bit recently, and the changes are a little unbelievable." Wu is riding on a white horse, in a white robe and a white horse, very heroic.

Li Zhi looked at the green field in front of him, "Yes, I didn't expect that she would actually ask for a monk, Tamase was not like this before, but now her eyes are dim, without the flying appearance of before, it is distressing to see." ”

"Actually, if Tamase really wants to become a monk, it's nothing. The eldest princess of her court, who has just been reconciled and separated, and her ex-husband has been punished again, and now she is also disheartened, she is willing, then His Majesty will build a Taoist temple for her here, and let her practice here. Her change of heart may be a good thing. Wu said.

Wu actually doesn't believe that Tamase can really get used to the life of a monk, after all, she herself has been in the temple for a while, although not a few years, but after the death of Taizong, she and other concubines went to Ganye Temple to become a nun according to the custom, the kind of green lantern ancient Buddha, the day of fasting and chanting scriptures every day is quite lonely and unbearable.

With Tamase's previous flying temperament, even if her temperament has changed now, it is impossible for her to really stay, after all, she is only in her early twenties.

But now that Tamase has this idea, then her sister-in-law is also willing to support it, after all, she has had a good relationship with Tamase during this time. And Li Zhi's love for Tamase is also in her eyes, she is willing to continue to maintain a good relationship with Tamase, and also hopes that Tamase can sometimes say something good for her in front of the emperor.

Today's Wu family is not satisfied with the palace title of Zhaoyi, she has long been ambitious and has long been interested in the queen's throne, and even the position of the fourth concubine cannot satisfy her.

And she also knows that it is actually too difficult to be a queen.

Wuji, the eldest grandson of the first person in the DPRK, will not agree.

"Did you say I'm too soft-hearted this time?" Li Zhi asked.

The Wu family knew that the emperor was asking about letting Li Ke go, and this decision was resolutely opposed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and several prime ministers such as Chu Suiliang in the center were basically in the same pants as the eldest grandson Wuji, and they were all determined to execute Li Ke.

Whether Li Ke is a rebel or not, everyone knows it.

Li Ke had always refused to admit his guilt before, so everyone hoped that he would be executed earlier.

And now that Li Ke suddenly confessed, the emperor actually wanted to open the net, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others thought that there would be trouble if the grass was cut and not eradicated.

But Li Zhi decided to spare Li Ke's death.

"King Wu was charged with rebellion, and His Majesty spared him to die, which showed His Majesty's generosity and mercy. also calmed the emotions of the clan lords through this incident. After all, this case is so big and the implication is also very wide, and everyone hopes that this matter will end here and not continue to be implicated. ”

Li Zhi nodded, although this rebellion was concocted by the eldest grandson Wuji with his consent, their purpose was the same, they were all to consolidate his emperor's authority and throne. But the case is up to this, it is enough, and the desired result is received.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to stop immediately, and wanted to use this case to knock down many of his opponents, such as Yu Wenjie, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, who was close to Fang Xuanling in the past, also down, this is selfishness.

This Li Zhi was clear, and Wu also reminded him a few times.

It's just that he was a little hesitant to stop his uncle Changsun Wuji, after seeing Tamase just now, Yuse woke up the emperor, although Changsun Wuji is the uncle of the country, but the emperor also has to beware of this uncle, after all, now the uncle of the country is already the sole power.

Although Datang has never had a history of foreign relatives interfering in politics, it also has to beware of starting from the eldest grandson Wuji.

After all, Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when he was the emperor's father-in-law, and later became the grandfather of the new emperor.

The Li family of the Tang Dynasty was actually a relative of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even a relative of the Sui Dynasty.

Who can guarantee that the eldest grandson Wuji will not become another Yang Jian, after all, there are not many heroes in the early days of the founding of the country, and there are few who can be compared with the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji's current status in the court is unmatched, and even the emperor has to listen to him everywhere.

Although Li Zhi is young, he is certainly not willing to be just a dead emperor.

"The eldest grandson Wuji previously requested that Yuwen be throttled with Lingnan Guizhou, and I feel that it is better to remember his hard work, reduce his title, degrade his official position, and still stay in the court to reform his merits."

Yuwenjie used to be the old man when Taizong, and Fang Xuanling had a very good relationship, and the eldest grandson Wuji has always had a bad relationship, before Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, worship Yuwenjie as the servant, Zhongshu under the door with the same three products, is one of the prime ministers.

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji is bent on kicking out of the Yuwen Festival, Li Zhi didn't want to veto it, but at this time he had another idea.

"Your Majesty, Yuwenjie is a well-known capable official in the Taizong Dynasty, and the first emperor also praised him for his ability to discern officials, and he was fair and selfless when he was in the imperial history, Your Majesty might as well remove him from the post of prime minister in his service, and then let him serve as the post of the imperial history of the imperial history platform."

From the servant to the imperial history, it is a degraded official.

After all, this is the governor of the province under the door, and the third rank of the middle book is the title of the real prime minister.

And Yu Shi Zhongcheng is just the chief official of the Yu Shi Tai, responsible for supervising the impeachment, although the power and responsibility are not small, but it is certainly not as good as the prime minister.

On the other hand, Li Zhi found that Wu's suggestion was very good, after all, the responsibilities of Yushitai are quite important, especially the impeachment of hundreds of officials and the supervision of the government, plus Yuwenjie and the eldest grandson Wuji have always had a bad relationship, and after this case, the relationship between the two is even more impossible.

If Li Zhi let Yuwenjie go, Yuwenjie would definitely be grateful, and he would definitely obey him, the emperor, in the court in the future.

What Li Zhi needs most now is a minister who can have enough prestige in the court and dare to confront the eldest grandson Wuji.

Undoubtedly, the method that Wu is proposing now will allow him to collect a cadre.

Although the eldest grandson is the uncle of the country, although he is guaranteed to succeed to the throne, but now Li Zhi is also a little jealous of this uncle who has the final say in court politics.

"Hey, why is Lijiazhuang so lively today?" When Li Zhi was still pondering, the Wu family next to him found that there was not far ahead of Lijiazhuang, and it was extremely lively today, with a sea of people.

"Well, what kind of fame is that Li San, who doesn't know how to lift, is he doing?" Li Zhi snorted, he was very upset about Li Xiao's ignorance.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and have a look, see the excitement, and go for a meal by the way." Wu Dao.

Saying this, Li Zhi remembered that although Li Xiao, who didn't know how to lift, didn't know how to lift, his family's food was still really delicious.

"Okay, let's see."
