Wei Zheng disagreed with Hou Junji's opinion, but he saw that Hou Junji's words obviously had an effect, and the other auxiliary ministers were also suspicious of the emperor's so-called retreat and cultivation after leaving Chang'an for so long.

At the beginning, when he went to Yuxu Cave, he went with Li Xiaogong, so he set his sights on Li Xiaogong, hoping to get his support.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaogong said: "Hou Junji's words are reasonable, what secrets does the emperor cultivate." Can it be compared to the Tang Dynasty?

I suggest that we go to the Jade Void Cave to find out the true situation of the emperor. ”

Li Xiaogong's words aroused everyone's approval.

Wei Zheng suddenly fell into a passive situation.

The current situation is that if Wei Zheng disagrees with everyone's opinions, then there is a suspicion that Hou Junji said that he wants to cover up the truth and engage in conspiracy.

Wei Zheng is Wei Zheng, iron-clad, he doesn't care about other people's opinions, he insists on fulfilling the emperor's entrustment.

He said solemnly: "Now, there are some crises between the government and the opposition temporarily, and it is of course good for the emperor to come forward to deal with them." ”

"But", Wei Zheng suddenly raised his voice, and he said loudly:

"We are all Auxiliary Ministers, what is Auxiliary Ministers?

The auxiliary minister is to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in handling the government during the emperor's absence.

Have you all forgotten the emperor's entrustment to everyone at the beginning? ”

Wei Zheng's righteous and awe-inspiring words made everyone a little embarrassed. Quite a few people bowed their heads.

Wei Zheng continued: "The emperor made it very clear that after his retreat and cultivation are over, he will naturally return to Chang'an.

He hasn't returned to Chang'an now, maybe it's because he encountered some difficulties in the process of cultivation.

Can't we understand the emperor's difficulties, and forget our duties when we encounter a little difficulty? ”

Speaking of this, although everyone is a little disapproving, it is not good to say anything more.

After everyone left, Wei Zheng was deeply worried about Li Xiaogong's attitude.

He thought about it for a long time in his office, and personally came to the office of the head of the Royal Home Affairs Investigation Bureau, Wu Cong.

"Lord Wei, I was about to look for you." Wu Cong said.

Wei Zheng asked, "What information do you have?" ”

Wu Cong said: "The sudden appearance on the border is not accidental, this incident is all to create chaos and force the emperor to show up.

Now, because the emperor is not in Chang'an, it has aroused people's suspicions, and many people are ready to move, and the situation is very complicated.

In fact, these things are easy to explain, if the emperor really can't come back, the thing he will face immediately is that the prince is young, and whether he can inherit the throne will probably cause controversy.

So there is the idea of fighting for the throne. ”

Wei Zheng said: "I understand this matter, what I want to ask is not this, can you tell me the truth, what happened to the emperor?" ”

Wu Cong said: "To tell you the truth, I met the emperor last month, and I can assure you that he is fine now, but he has something unspeakable and cannot return to Chang'an for the time being."

He told me to trust you fully. Stabilize the situation and wait for him to come back. ”

When Wei Zheng heard that the emperor was fine, he felt a lot more at ease. He told Wu Cong about today's meeting of the Council of Auxiliary Ministers.

Wu Cong was very pleased with Wei Zheng's ability to control the overall situation.

The two fully exchanged views and worked out a strategy for maintaining stability in the DPRK situation.

The two agreed that Wei Zheng would preside over the overall situation outside, and Wu Cong would be responsible for the work of the palace and key figures.

Night fell, the moonlight was bright, and Chang'an City was peaceful and quiet.

Somehow, Wei Zheng couldn't sleep well, and tossed and turned all night.

The same is true for Wu Cong.

Suddenly, Wu Cong entered the phoenix eye of the storm, and she, a young woman, became the most critical figure in the Tang Dynasty.

So far, Wu Cong is the only one who has the overall picture and the only one who can communicate with all the key people.

At this moment, it may be this beautiful young woman who can turn the tide.

Wu Cong felt a great responsibility.

The night is gentle, and everything is silent. Wu Cong carefully thought about all the problems he was going to face.

After a long time, she felt a little tired. At this time, Li Su's face appeared in front of her eyes, which made her full of fascination.

Li Su seemed to be smiling at her, his eyes full of trust.

Wu Cong's heart was warm, his mood relaxed, and he soon fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Taiji Hall.

Not long after the early dynasty began, Yao Kaijun stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, and the emperor is urgently needed to return to the court to preside over the government.

The minister suggested going to Yuxu Cave immediately to welcome the emperor back. ”

The crown prince Li Yun said: "King Gu is too young, and the affairs of the court are also discussed and decided by Wei Zheng and other auxiliary ministers."

Li Yun doesn't look young, under the teaching of Qibi Wuyun, he looks good.

Wei Zheng said: "The minister obeys the order. ”

Then, Wei Zheng said to Yao Kaijun: "Lord Yao, as a minister, you must be responsible when you speak, what is the internal and external troubles of the imperial court?"

What are internal worries? Where is the external danger? You are talking nonsense here and disrupting the audio-visual. ”

Wei Zheng didn't want to dwell on this sensitive issue, and he rebuked Yao Kaijun in a stern tone.

What Wei Zheng has to do is to show his attitude and prevent some people from taking advantage of this issue.

Unexpectedly, Yao Kaijun did not show weakness, he said: "

First of all, in a Tang Dynasty with a population of hundreds of millions, how many major events happen every day, the emperor should preside over the government and fulfill the responsibility of a son of heaven, instead of giving up his responsibilities, staying away from Chang'an, and cultivating anything that has nothing to do with the government

Cheats.

This is the internal worry.

Secondly, everyone knows that many caravans of Datang have been hijacked, the border defenders have been attacked, many outstanding Datang soldiers have died, and Datang's territory is threatened by war.

Isn't this an external threat? ”

His words resonated with many people. In particular, the officials of the caravan whose families were hijacked followed suit.

At this time, Yu Ningzhi stood up, and he said: "The emperor has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years, everyone can see.

When did the emperor abandon the government, the emperor, retreat and cultivate, he has his own reasons. You don't know the real situation? How can it be casually said that the emperor has not fulfilled his responsibilities?

What does the court want us ministers to do? Is the emperor present or not? We should all be conscientious and do our jobs well, do these things that happen in the court every day, must be handled by the emperor himself?

In the court, Li Ning'er and Wu Cong observed the movement on the side.

Except for Li Su's name Wu Cong, Wu Cong never spoke in the court. Her rank can participate in court politics, and she also participated in the early dynasty, just to observe the ministers and understand their temperament.

In this situation, she still won't speak.

Li Ning'er has always been known for her hot temper, and when she heard someone questioning Li Su, her heart was already on fire.
