Chapter 159: Something Changed
A few little eunuchs came over and drove the eldest grandson Wuji to sit on a high cushion next to him, and a few palace maids came to rub his legs and drink hot soup, and the eldest grandson Wuji's pale face finally appeared a little bloody. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info but I still feel sluggish, and there is no essence in my eyes.
Sure enough, after a while, Li Zhi hurriedly walked towards the main hall. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji sitting there.
Since I was a child, my uncle has the impression that he is the one who directs the country and strategizes. It seems that he has never seen his lost appearance. Now, the crown was removed, revealing his gray hair. I knelt all night, and my face looked very pale. With their legs stretched out, several palace maids were rubbing. But as if he didn't feel it, his eyelids drooped, his eyes were blank, and he stared blankly ahead.
At this moment, Li Zhi's heart was more sour than happy. Uncle is also old, even if he has energy, can he stay in this court for a few years? Are you going too far?
Li Zhi is benevolent, even if he has made the heart of an emperor, but his perennial habits always make him unconsciously uncomfortable with his cold self. People need a process of transformation. And the person who prompted him to change was the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him.
"Uncle, how does he feel? Yesterday was really tiring, and I didn't check it for a while when I went back, and I made my uncle kneel for so long, and I was guilty. Li Zhi arched his hand, and his words softened. Sadness is sadness, but politicians know how to hide their emotions and how to proceed according to the plan to achieve the greatest purpose and effect.
"Old minister...", as he spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly struggled and pushed away the little eunuch who was holding him, and was about to get up and salute Li Zhi. However, before he had time to stand up, his legs were weak and he was about to pounce forward. I am over 60 years old, and I knelt all night, even if this pair of legs is not wasted, it is difficult to ensure that I will not fall into any disease when I go back to take good care of it. Naturally, I can't stand up at this time.
Seeing him pounce forward, Li Zhi hurriedly ran two big steps and hugged him: "Uncle too, is it possible to blame me?" Why are you so rusty, you and my uncle and nephew are still using the courtesy, you can sit down. As he spoke, he helped the eldest grandson Wuji to sit on the soft cushion, and pointed to the eunuch and palace maid who were waiting: "Rub it for the captain, and bring more bowls of hot soup." ”
"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister doesn't dare." The eldest grandson Wuji said again and again.
Li Zhi turned around and walked on the dragon chair and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Uncle rest for a while, and after you recover, let's talk about it, what did you have to tell me yesterday?" ”
Finally asked the main question, this morning the eldest grandson Wuji lowered his posture just to talk about this matter. Otherwise, he was punished for kneeling all night, even if he was not in good spirits, he would not still be here to talk to Li Zhi.
The reason why Li Zhi came over so early was also because he was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would really leave the palace gate in a fit of anger. That's a big deal, and it's hard to say that it really shakes the foundation of the rule. He is at the helm of the Guanlong nobles, and the emperor can't easily treat him. If this matter spreads, Li Zhi's reputation will definitely be damaged, and he will abuse the old ministers of the first emperor and treat his uncle ruthlessly. Both of them have their own ideas, so they both sat here this morning and prepared to talk.
For Li Zhi, being able to sit here is an improvement. He has already relied on his own strength to be able to compete with the eldest grandson Wuji on an equal footing. However, the eldest grandson Wuji seemed very aggrieved, and the ups and downs of Huan Hai were calculated all his life.
Still, things have to be said.
"Please Your Majesty retreat, the old minister's body knows by himself, it's okay."
Li Zhi frowned, but still waved his hand: "You all go down." Wang Laifu went to the door to star, and there were people around, so he killed him on the spot. ”
"Yes, old slave command." went down with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
"Uncle can talk about it this time, right?"
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "Your Majesty, you have been blocked by floods in the Jiucheng Palace for many days. At that time, the flood was huge, and the palace was completely cut off from the outside world, so the old minister had to prevent all the other prime ministers from governing together with Sikong, and asked His Majesty to forgive the ministers for the crime of trespassing. ”
"It happened suddenly, even I didn't expect it. At that time, if the Taiwei had not taken care of the government, what would have happened to this huge country? Uncle is not guilty of this matter but has merit, after today's court, my uncle will enter the palace and I will discuss the matter of meritorious deeds. Li Zhi seems to be very generous, because he usually handles political affairs with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is at most a soy sauce player. It's just a matter of looking at the twists and turns and expressing opinions, and it has never been his lead.
The old minister was terrified, and what the minister wanted to say was the second thing. When His Majesty was blocked by the flood for nearly four days, Prime Minister Liu Zheng made a change. ”
"Huh?" Li Zhi almost couldn't believe his ears, and said loudly: "Uncle, you say it again." ”
"Your Majesty didn't hear it wrong, and the old minister didn't say it wrong, Prime Minister Liu Zheng has made a move, and the minister has a twist here, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he took out a book from the sleeves of his wide robe and raised his hands above his head.
"Don't be busy watching," my uncle continued.
"It rained for a long time, and it was more than half a month. The minister saw that Liu Zheng had moved, and he was very frightened. After all, his identity is really... So he urgently met with Sikong that night, and ordered to closely monitor the seven families and five surnames, the Taiyuan Wang family, and..."The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't go on a little anymore. But Li Zhi squinted his eyes and kept blooming with a fierce light, what he wanted to hear was the words below.
"Say" almost suppressed the anger in his heart, shouting, just didn't slap the table.
"And the East Palace, the Middle Palace."
This is the crime of killing the head... No, this is the crime of the Nine Clans. When the emperor is not in the palace, what do you want to do by closely monitoring the queen and the crown prince? Do you want to rebel?
However, it is clear that Li Zhi does not believe that the eldest grandson Wuji will rebel. As for the auxiliary ministers left by Taizong, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, he was never worried that the two of them would rebel. So even if he is so dissatisfied, he still does not feel worried that the eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of power and Li Ji is in charge of military power. So put this matter aside for now.
"Say, Liu Zheng has a change, what about the East Palace? What about the Middle Palace? ”
"Your Majesty, there is not the slightest movement in the East Palace. But... The middle palace frequently met with Mrs. Taiyuan Wang, and the old minister didn't know what to talk about. A few days ago, the Taiyuan Wang family was still running around seven families and five surnames. However, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Li family of Longxi, the Cui family of Boling, and the Cui family of Qinghe did not change in the slightest. ”
"Then what about the Fanyang Lu family and the Xingyang Zheng family?" Li Zhi couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.
"The two brothers of the current head of the Fanyang Lu family went to Chang'an and left yesterday. The Zheng family in Xingyang seems to be hoarding grain and grass. ”
"It seems?"
"Xingyang Zheng's background in food is too deep, and it is difficult for the old minister to find out the details for a while." (To be continued.) )
