In the next period of time, Li Hong did not plan to return to Chang'an, not to mention that now the officials have basically gathered in Luoyang, and the incident of risking death some time ago happened in Luoyang.

In addition, since entering the autumn and winter, Li Zhi's body has been deteriorating, day by day, and now vertigo is flaring up from time to time, making the entire Luoyang Palace seem to be shrouded in a faint smell of medicine and solemnity.

Now Pei Wanying, who is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, also hurried over from Chang'an, as the last female disciple Sun Simiao received before his death, but Li Hong and Wu Mei's last hope.

But even if Sun Simiao taught him everything at the beginning, now Pei Wanying is facing Li Zhi's terminally ill vertigo, and there is no way at all, and the whole person is soaked in the medical hall of Guozijian every day, taking palace maids and eunuchs, carefully flipping through ancient books.

As long as there are various unique books related to medicine in Chang'an Guozijian and Chongwen Pavilion, they were also ordered by Li Hong to be transported to Luoyang Palace in whole vehicles.

And as long as the original copy is unique, it is absolutely not necessary to print books over the years because of the production of movable type printing, so I am deeply afraid that there will be errors and omissions in the printed books.

Although this possibility basically does not exist, out of an instinctive psychology, a large number of lonely books are still transported.

Li Hong and Wu Mei looked at Pei Wanying every day as if they were soaked in the Guozi Prison, and they were helpless in their hearts, whether it was Li Hong or Wu Mei at this time, seeing how Li Zhi was suffering from illness every day, they didn't know what to do.

Li Zhi, who was tortured by illness, even ordered the eunuch to give him a pair of poison when his brain was dizzy, so that he could be completely freed and no longer suffer from this disease.

Wu Mei and Li Hong looked at the desperate Li Zhi on the couch, and in addition to the heaviness in their hearts, there was only a helpless sigh left.

"I wish I could replace my father's illness and transfer it to me." Li Hong smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room, thinking about how many people in the previous life were tortured by illness, and in the end they couldn't stand it anymore, so he begged the doctor and his family to give him a good time, so as not to let him suffer from this kind of pain again.

But at this time, it is not more than a thousand years later, not to mention that Li Zhi is still the emperor, his father, this kind of rebellious idea, even if he is bold, looking at the pain tortured on the couch and moaning in pain, the dragon father who has lost a lot of weight, does not dare to say it in front of anyone.

A bitter potion similar to sleeping pills, under the service of Li Hong and Wu Mei, was drunk by the weak Li Zhi one by one, Li Zhi, who was as pale as paper, closed his eyes tightly, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead over and over again, but he still couldn't stop seeping out.

"Queen...... Hong'er ...... I...... I am ...... That's enough....... Li Zhi reluctantly opened his eyes groggily, looking at the worried Empress Wu Mei and Li Hong with a solemn face, and there seemed to be a trace of request hidden in his weak tone.

"In three days, Li Xian will be back." Li Hong grabbed the thin hand like wood, it felt like grasping a branch, and he couldn't feel the slightest warmth and the feeling of flesh and skin.

"Really?" Li Zhi suddenly opened his eyes violently this time, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became a little brighter.

"Yes, the snow in Anxi was too big a few days ago, so Li Xian was delayed on the way. Li Sujie, Li Shangjin, Li Zhe, and Li Dan were also on their way back to Luoyang. Li Hong continued to hold the hand that was trembling like a branch at first, and said seriously.

"That's good, that's good, that's good. I wronged you Hong'er...... Empress...... Wake me up when they come back, and I'll get some good sleep. Li Zhi let go of Li Hong's hand, and then was hurriedly taken by Wu Mei.

"I know, the concubine will always be by your side." Wu Mei grabbed Li Zhi's hand with both hands and said softly in her words.

Li Hong left the next space for the old couple, and then just stood up, he heard Wu Mei say next to him: "Wait for me in the study for a while." ”

Li Hong, who got up, was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, then turned around and walked in the direction of the study, and said to Hua Meng as he walked: "Let's take the music to this study, Di Renjie and they are here, let them wait in the Zhenguan Palace." ”

"Your Majesty......." A look of danger flashed on Hua Meng's face, and he followed behind Li Hong without saying anything.

"Say."

"The Zhenguan Hall is now full of the clans and some old ministers who entered the palace early in the morning to visit the Emperor Taishang, and some people from the family are now in the Zhenguan Palace, and Lord Di ...... if they come." Hua Meng said cautiously.

After all, these days, Di Renjie and others have been fighting with some wealthy families, as well as people with five surnames and seven wangs, and two days ago, Cui Xinggong, the governor of Yizhou, and Cui Xuanwei, the prince of Anguo, have just been jointly imprisoned by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.

And now these people gathered in the Zhenguan Palace, although they have nothing to do with the five surnames and Qiwang, or they do not support the original five surnames and Qiwang risking death to give direct advice, but now most of the officials headed by Di Renjie have called the officials who risked death to give direct advice back to Luoyang one after another, or sent people to try them directly in other places.

Such a big turmoil, coupled with the fact that Li Hong turned a blind eye to this matter, and completely relied on Di Renjie and others' recitals to give instructions, which made these clan relatives have to feel that Di Renjie and others are a great rebellion to deceive and conceal them, and they are the act of excluding dissidents and forming parties for personal gain.

In the eyes of these royal relatives, after all, His Majesty had already issued a notice in Luoyang City, saying that he did not believe those rumors, and it stands to reason that this matter should end here, after all, whether it is His Majesty or the wealthy nobles led by the five surnames and Qiwang, they have all kept each other's face and interests, and there is no need to continue to risk the turmoil in the court and fight with the five surnames and Qiwang.

But now Di Renjie and they have been dormant for an autumn harvest time, and they have begun to intensify their efforts to investigate the responsibility of the five surnames and Qiwang in the matter of risking death to give direct advice, but all officials related to the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng family, whether they participated in the direct advice of death or not, have been thoroughly investigated by the judicial group headed by Di Renjie.

Now whether it is the Boling Cui clan or the Xingyang Zheng clan, they have all been investigated by Di Renjie and others, and there is only an empty shelf left, and it has only been a few months? In less than two months, the two great families fell so easily under the impeachment, interrogation, and investigation of Di Renjie and others.

The outcome of the two great families in the future can be seen even by the blind now, and their decline is their only way out.

In addition, over the years, they have been for the imperial court, or the academy ordered by the imperial court to fund them, was taken back by Xu Yanbo, the new sacrificial wine of the Guozijian and the court officials, and it has become an imperative and irrevocable event.

This is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and it is determined to do this absolutely without giving the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan a chance to maneuver and make a comeback.

Even if someone bypasses the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial Historical Observatory, and directly sends a letter to the middle book and the door, or uses his official position to write to His Majesty, His Majesty is based on the judgment of Di Renjie and others, and does not give them any opportunity to defend themselves and intercede at all.

But even so, Li Hong's imperial study was still full of thin and thick piles of requests.

But there are also some people who have seen it from the beginning, knowing that the original notice was just a trick released by His Majesty to confuse the five surnames and seven hopes, and now Di Renjie and others have impeached and investigated the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan with thunderous power, which is completely the result of His Majesty's support behind the scenes.

Otherwise, whether it is Di Renjie or Li Qiao, or Yao Chong and Wang Xiaojie, how could these loyal ministers and good generals who have always been loyal to His Majesty be so bold and reckless to set off such a big storm in the court!

"King Ji means it's not over yet?" Cen Changqian, an old man with the same white hair next to him, slowly turned his head and asked.

Although it is not said that there is a lot of noise in the Zhenguan Palace, but because the dragon body of the Emperor Taishang is sick, day by day is not as good as a day, they who were courtiers under the rule of the Emperor Taishang can only be like the original court every day, come and sit in the Zhenguan Hall every day, waiting for the eunuch to convey various news related to His Majesty's dragon body.

"Lord Cen, it's not good for me to intervene in this kind of thing, so I also hope that Lord Cen won't interfere, you have been away from the court for a few years? And Your Majesty treats you ...... the same. ”

"Li Shen, you weren't this kind of character at the beginning, you are a virtuous king of my Tang Dynasty, why do you start doing this kind of thing now? Why, is it because your son-in-law Xu Yanbo is now the sacrificial wine of the country's eunuch, and you want to accept those schools with five surnames and seven hopes for him, and you have no conscience? Cen Changqian held an important position during Li Zhi's reign, and was also an important minister that the prince relied on when Li Hong was in charge of the country.

But since he entered Chang'an as an official, he has admired Li Shen of the clan very much, but now looking at Di Renjie and others making the court smoky, Li Shen, the king of Ji, who was originally known as a virtuous king, did not say at this moment to remind His Majesty and fulfill the responsibilities of the ministers, and even helped Di Renjie and others to play sloppy.

"Cen Changqian, am I Li Shen that kind of person? For the son-in-law's new sacrificial wine? It's a shame that you old thing came up with such a ridiculous reason! For the sake of many years of friendship, I will also tell you about you, an old thing who has been away from the court for many years, this is secretly supported by Your Majesty, you were also relied on by Your Majesty in front of Your Majesty back then, and you are not unfamiliar with Di Renjie and others, and it is not that you don't know ....... ”

"But people will become, as His Majesty gives more power, who knows if they, the important ministers of the country, are still the same as they were back then, whether they are really not in a high position, flattered by others to show their ambitions." Cen Changqian snorted, then thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure Your Majesty knows these things?" ”

"Your Majesty not only knows, but all this is planned by Your Majesty, when the notice was jointly issued by Zhongshu and his subordinates, I ask you, who has the ability to make Zhongshu and his subordinates jointly issued? Who has the ability to keep Cui Xinggong, the governor of Yizhou, in Luoyang for half a year, and then be sent to prison? Yizhou, that was the fief of King Xu Li Sujie back then, and now although Li Sujie has been no longer in Yizhou for many years, as His Majesty's brother and eyes and ears, a chief official in Yizhou has been absent from office for half a year, can King Xu not be aware? ”

"That'...... Your Majesty won't really ...... this time. Cen Changqian stretched out a hand, shook it in front of King Ji Li Shen, and asked solemnly: "Then this winter, wouldn't it be that several other families will also have to ...... Chilled? ”

"You old thing, you still learn from Your Majesty to speak? Do you dare to use this word even if it's cold? Li Shen looked at the hand covered with age spots, and finally nodded.

"It's a good thing my son didn't get involved, otherwise he would have ...... It's cold. ”

"Cold?"

"It's cold."

The two old men sitting in the front row of the Zhenguan Hall suddenly laughed tacitly like two old foxes.
