"Lux, Datang is so critical, the world is in turmoil~ chaos, lives are devastated, soldiers are in danger, you say, this person's heart, but I am still here?"

Halfway through, Li Longji, who had been silent, suddenly said such a sentence, Gao Lishi, who was following him, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied in a whisper: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty, creating the prosperous era of Kaiyuan Tianbao, the people of the Tang Dynasty are rich and strong, whether it is the people or the officials and soldiers, everyone is grateful for the grace of the saint."

Hu people and wolves are ambitious, not of our race, strong will be thieves, weak will be humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, their nature is also ...... I live in my elbows and armpits, and I am in Wangji, and the disease of my henchmen will be a problem for the future.

Duke Wei Wenzhen (Wei Zheng) has long judged, why should Your Majesty care about the rebellion of these ungrateful Hu people? The other people of Datang still have their hearts set on Datang, and the land of Hebei is just temporarily taken by the soldiers, and they are just rebelling. ”

"The Hu people are not cultivated and have no kindness, these I naturally know that in the past, the Tang Dynasty was too lenient to these Hu people, and after the rebellion is quelled, I will find a way to solve this problem permanently."

Li Longji shook his head and said: "I am asking, I am tired of political affairs, I handed over state affairs to the prime minister, and I was deceived by the Youzhou mongrel Hu, so that there was this rebellion, you said that this person's heart, but I am still here?" ”

Gao Lishi's face changed suddenly: "Naturally, he is still here with His Majesty." Your Majesty has been the Prince of Peace for 40 years, Datang can have today's wealth and strength, Your Majesty's contribution is indispensable, and the people of the world are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness! ”

After a pause, Gao Lishi glanced at Li Longji cautiously, and said very nervously and carefully: "As long as Your Majesty can put a little more effort into the government affairs, and appoint a few more talented and virtuous prime ministers like Yao Xianggong and Song Xianggong." The country will surely be able to bounce back again. ”

Li Longji nodded. When he first ascended the throne and became emperor. Isn't it just a mess that took over, but within ten years, Datang became stronger and stronger under the conscientious governance of himself and his ministers.

As long as I renew my efforts and spend more time on national politics, why worry that national affairs cannot be clear and prosperous, I still have at least sixty years to live, even if I leave the stain of An Lushan's rebellion. I can also make future generations ignore this stain through my later efforts, I can do better, and Datang can become stronger!

After thinking about this, Li Longji's mood was much more relaxed, but then he thought of what Li Qi and Tiance Mansion had done, and there was a sense of crisis and inexplicable anger in his heart.

This is my country, my world, no one can snatch him away, Li Heng can't. Li Qi is even worse!

On the other side, it is called Da Xi Xun Rite Department Shangshu. Returned to the office of the imperial city, and then he recruited a confidant servant, explained a few words, and then it didn't take long for the servant to come to a big hotel in Wubenfang, and after a while, a Haidongqing fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, all the way east, to Luoyang.

Luoyang, the palace of Lanling Wang.

Xiao Quzhi sat at the head of the bed, hugged He Ke'er tightly in his arms, and the bodies of the two snuggled tightly together, listening to each other's heartbeats slowly become calmer.

It has been almost three days since Xiao Qu'er returned to Luoyang, and when he heard that He Ke'er was so grief-stricken that he vomited blood, Xiao Qu'er was naturally more anxious than anyone else, but fortunately, after entering the secret room of the Lanling Palace's mansion from the secret passage, he was slightly relieved to see that He Ke'er's body had almost recovered.

In fact, He Ke'er is actually a master of the peak of dark energy now, if she wants to kill someone, she can slap the person on the head hard, and she can also kill the person with a palm without seeing any casualties on the outside.

This is naturally the credit of Xiao Quai's illness, He Keer's physical qualifications are excellent, but her heart is extremely unsuitable for martial arts, and she has to be in charge of the Four Seas Trading Company, working hard every day, how can she calm down and stand on the pile to practice martial arts without distractions, and she doesn't have the ruthlessness to kill.

It was Xiao Quai's illness that not only went to Shaolin Temple for her to obtain the "Yijin Sutra" and "Washing the Marrow Sutra", but also that others had to concentrate and calm their own qi and blood circulation in the Great Zhou Tian, but He Keer relied on Xiao Qu's illness every day to push the palace to pass the blood, and used external force to help her carry the meridians and acupoints of the whole body for qi and blood circulation.

Therefore, for more than two years, He Keer's body qi and blood operation is completely different from ordinary people, almost half of his feet have stepped into the threshold of transforming energy, and he can operate according to specific meridian acupuncture points without consciously controlling qi and blood. Later, after she learned the news that Xiao Qu was actually fine, she recuperated by herself, and her body almost recovered.

And after Xiao Qu came back from illness, he also helped her to push the uterine blood once in the first time, plus these two days of conditioning, He Keer's body has completely recovered as before, or even better, and she is full of energy.

At this moment, after the two had just pushed the palace through the blood, they made out again, hugged each other tightly and enjoyed each other's warmth, and after a long time, He Keer asked softly: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm going to Hebei tomorrow." Xiao Quzhi hugged his wife's perfect body tightly in his arms, the necks of the two were tightly pressed together, and Xiao Quzhi rubbed He Keer's sideburns with his ears.

"I'm a little worried about Xiao Qi, it's strange to say, on the one hand, I'm actually very relieved about him, after all, he was taught by me; But I can't help but worry about him, his personality is too strong, too impulsive, in case something happens to him......"

Ke'er put her chin on Xiao Quai's shoulder, and her body moved slightly: "If something happens to Xiao Qi, what will happen to you?" ”

After thinking for two or three seconds, Xiao Qu said sickly: "If something happens to him, we can't retire at the age of thirty-five, and we can do whatever we want." ”

He suddenly raised his head, looked at He Ke'er's big autumn eyes, and said with a smile: "I will be the emperor, you are the queen." How about it, do you want to be a queen? ”

He Ke'er didn't think about it: "No, I just want you to be by my side every day, it's better than anything." I know you, if you become an emperor, you will not be a faint king, then you will be busy with state affairs every day. ”

After a while, probably because she felt that she had made a bad decision for Xiao Quai, she looked at Xiao Quai's illness and said seriously: "But I am your wife, what you want to do, I naturally support all of them, if you want to be the emperor, then I will be your queen and assist you in governing the world well." ”

Xiao Quzhi was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Be an emperor, dominate the world." It's nice to think about. But. If we do. It will be several times or even more than ten times more troublesome, not only will it be hard work, but it may also mess things up if you are not careful. So, forget it.

Besides, what's so good about being an emperor, the happiness and achievements that the emperor can enjoy, I can also enjoy, and my ideal emperor. It's not that there is an emperor like Li Longji now, there is such an emperor in the world, it is the sorrow of the people of the world, and it is also the sorrow of the emperor. ”

"Why? Didn't Your Majesty work hard before, wasn't the Kaiyuan period a monarch and a minister, and in the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, wasn't the people solid and the whole country rich, how could it be sad? ”

Xiao Quzhi suddenly wanted to laugh, and at this moment, the two hugged each other naked. But he was talking about such an extremely serious topic. However, such a topic can only be talked to He Keer, even with Li Qi. It can't be talked about now.

Xiao Quzhi said: "Because this imperial power is too big, the emperor's responsibility and influence are too great, when Li Longji was working hard, the country was prosperous, and when he ignored the government and died, the Tang Dynasty became extremely dark and corrupt."

An Lushan's problem can be seen clearly almost all over the world, but because he Li Longji is the emperor, he favors this mongrel for no reason, such as Gao Lishi and others, and many ministers who are worried about him, so he can only watch this world being corrupted by him Li Longji, and there is nothing he can do, because he is the Son of Heaven, and this world is his. ”

As the person closest to Xiao Quai, He Keer was the first to hear Xiao Qubing say the sentence "The world is the world of all people in the world", which is naturally a little different from her previous cognition, but as Xiao Quai's wife and the most trusted person, He Keer also agreed with this sentence for the first time, what the husband said is right, for her, Xiao Qubing is God!

He Ke'er smiled and said: "So, what does the husband mean is to limit the emperor's power, even if the emperor wants to corrupt the world, he can't do it?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled and kissed her twice on the mouth, and said: "That's it, in fact, at this point, Li Shimin did a good job, but unfortunately he was destroyed by Wu Zetian, the darkest and most vicious woman, so that the imperial power has become like this now, and the emperor can do whatever he wants." ”

He Ke'er laughed: "Ke'er found out that you don't like Wu Zetian very much, is it just because he is an empress and a woman is an emperor?" ”

"Of course not, you know, I have no prejudice against women, the evil result of Wu Zetian is that she should not have obtained so much, so much power, but in order to obtain these powers, she did whatever it took to obtain these powers, such as framing the queen and queen, such as appointing cool officials, such as framing Zhongliang, such as suppressing the Guanlong military general group, in short, all the bad things were done, but these are not the point, the point is that she broke the rules and released the imperial power from the cage."

"The cage of imperial power?"

"I'll tell you all over again." Xiao Quzhi nodded and said: "The first emperor unified the six countries and began to have an emperor, the Qin Dynasty was too short, let's start with the Han Dynasty."

The problem faced by the Han Dynasty is that the dictatorship of foreign relatives and eunuchs interfere in politics, why this problem arises, is because the imperial power is too big, you think, the emperor is rich, the whole world is his, what do you want to do, who wants to die, how majestic, how spirited; The good things in the world have to be paid tribute to the emperor, the best enjoyment, three palaces and six courtyards, groups of beautiful women, and being a groom every night, how desirable. ”

"Except for me, I have higher pursuits." Looking at He Ke'er's strange expression, Xiao Quzhi hurriedly said: "Back to the topic, it is precisely because everyone yearns for the emperor that the imperial power is lonely, and the emperor wants to fight against the whole world by himself, and he must guard against the people of the whole world."

And the biggest threat to the imperial power, first of all, is the emperor's ancestry, for example, the old emperor let the third son be the emperor, the eldest son, the second son, the fourth, fifth and sixth sons must be unconvinced, everyone is almost the same, why should you be.

So the emperor is going to find someone to help him fight against these princes of the same sect, who is he looking for? Looking for his own wife and concubine, this is his own woman, and the interests are bundled, and the wife's concubine's family will naturally help him, so he has a relative.

The relatives originally helped the emperor stabilize the imperial power and fight against the brothers, but later the relatives became dictatorial, and the emperor said, no, then you have to find someone to fight against the relatives, who to find? Find eunuchs around you, so there are eunuchs to interfere in politics.

The relatives and the eunuchs fought, and the ministers got up, that is, Dong Zhuo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo controlled the government and did a lot of bad things, and then the princes and towns didn't do it, and the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo again. The feudal town is up again. At this time, the imperial power was very weak. Then the world was in turmoil, and the Han Dynasty perished. ”

Xiao Quzhi kissed He Ke'er on the face again, and then said: "After hundreds of years of **** split, the emperors actually kept staging the above cycle, either relatives or eunuchs, either powerful ministers or warlords usurped the throne, and then there was the Sui Dynasty."

Emperor Wen of Sui left Emperor Yang of Sui a good situation, but he was forced to die by Emperor Yang of Sui. What's with? It's that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is too eloquent, too ambitious, too capable of tossing, and is building canals, slapping his face to attract investment in the Western Regions, and conquering Goguryeo.

In short, he has too many ideas, too many things to do, and he doesn't think about whether the people can bear it, nor does he consider the basis of his rule, whether the Guanlong aristocratic group is willing, in short. He is the emperor, and he must do what he wants. Whoever dares to object, he will kill whom!

This is another problem of imperial power, that is, the imperial power is too big, the imperial power is too strong, and then this Yang Guang is too strong and willful, and he tossed a good Sui to the death of the country, and finally the throne went to the hands of Emperor Taizong. ”

He Ke'er asked, "Then Emperor Taizong learned all the lessons of his predecessors?" ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded: "Although Emperor Taizong also has various problems, such as today's Youzhou Zahu Rebellion, the source of which is Li Shimin's lure of wolves, but he did the best job in restricting imperial power.

The imperial power during the Taizong period almost solved all the problems that arose in front of him, first of all, the relatives, Empress Wende, who can be described as the first virtuous queen in ancient and modern times, resolutely resisted the people of the Changsun family to rely on her nepotism to ascend to the throne, and asked Emperor Taizong not to give the people of the Changsun family to serve as important positions in the imperial court, and there was no eunuch problem;

And then because Emperor Taizong is actually strong enough, wise enough and powerful, and eloquent, so the problem of the ministers and the feudal towns did not appear, you find no, in fact, Taizong is very similar to Emperor Yang of Sui in all aspects, but he took Emperor Yang of Sui as a lesson and deliberately limited his power, that is, he locked the imperial power in a cage.

At that time, Taizong was called the co-governance of monarchs and ministers, not the emperor alone had the final say, set the rules, everyone came according to the rules, what the emperor wanted to do, he couldn't do it if he didn't comply with the rules. For example, that Wei Zheng often used the law of the country and all kinds of truths, and made Taizong speechless and angry, but in the end, Taizong also made most concessions, according to the rules and reason.

There are many advantages to restricting the imperial power, putting the imperial power in a cage, and the monarch and the minister co-governing according to the rules of the law. First of all, he is very stable, because the monarch and the ministers govern together, these ministers share the imperial power, and they will naturally help the emperor maintain the imperial power, so the emperor has such a helper, he doesn't have to find relatives to be helpers to deal with his brothers, let alone eunuchs to deal with relatives, isn't it enough to have so many helpers?

And so many ministers govern the world together, it is even more difficult for the feudal towns to appear, and in the end, these ministers share the imperial power, help the emperor deal with the threat of imperial power, and govern the world at the same time, it also restricts the imperial power, so the imperial power like Emperor Yang of Sui is too strong and will not appear.

It's just perfect, and of course the only price is that the emperor is sometimes unhappy. ”

Xiao Quzhi continued: "Later, when Gaozong ascended the throne, it was the same way, what Gaozong sometimes wanted to do, if it was not in harmony with the legal system and the rules, it was often resisted by the ministers and could not be implemented. There are many such examples, for example, if someone cut down a tree in Zhaoling, and Gaozong wanted to kill him, the minister said that according to the law, this is not a capital crime, how can he be killed? So Gaozong had no choice but to give up.

Gaozong is not a strong emperor, so he often can't compete with these courtiers, and he doesn't have Taizong's mind and vision, so he holds a grudge, and later after he married Wu Zetian, under the influence of Wu Zetian, he began to rectify the Guanlong aristocratic group.

Wu Zetian is a person who has the means to frame and plot infighting, she has begun to break the rules since this time, this person is not guilty, or the crime does not deserve death, but she pleaded with Gaozong and did not follow the rules, she would be killed.

It is in her hands that the imperial power is getting stronger and stronger, and when Wu Zetian himself becomes the emperor, she can completely ignore all national laws and completely ignore legal procedures.

Then the emperor almost does whatever he wants, kills whoever he wants, promotes whoever he wants, and belittles whoever he wants, Wu Zetian not only does not follow the law, but also does not follow the procedure, a person is not guilty at all, she can also be killed directly without going through the procedure, there are no rules at all.

Then when Li Longji became the emperor, the imperial power actually never returned to that cage, and he was always very strong, but Li Longji was also very restrained at the beginning, but in the end he was not restrained.

So there were relatives, there were ministers, and the power of eunuchs also rose, if Gao Weng was replaced by Zhao Gao, it would be the eunuchs who interfered in politics, and then there were feudal towns, and then there was An Lushan rebellion, and Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong misled the country. ”

He Ke'er thought for a moment and said with a smile: "So what does the husband mean, after Xiao Qi becomes the emperor, you have to put the imperial power in the cage again, and let Xiao Qi be an emperor who can't do whatever he wants?" ”

"Yes, my assumption is to make this an iron law that cannot be violated, the emperor must obey it, and if he does not comply, the courtiers can remove the emperor from the power to participate in politics, and even force the emperor to abdicate to the crown prince."

He Ke'er thought for a while: "Then do you think Li Qi will be willing?" ”

"He should be willing, if he is unwilling, then it will be troublesome, I will be Cao Cao or Wang Mang." Xiao Quzhi smiled and muttered, "Xiao Qi, you should accept it, right?" ”

"Ahh On the front line of Julu, Li Qi woke himself up with a sneeze, he sat up from the marching bed, tomorrow is the first battle between the Tiance soldiers and the peasant soldiers, Li Qi actually still has a heart, he patrolled the camp several times at night, and finally fell asleep, but he didn't expect to wake up suddenly.

"Who's thinking I'm coming? Is it Master or Yuting? Li Qi opened his eyes and looked around the military tent, and muttered: "Master, the prosperous Tang Dynasty you want, Xiao Qi will create the conditions for you to realize all this, and the two of us will complete all this together, and then take a back seat, do what you want to do, go where you want, and play what you want, okay?" (To be continued.) )
