In Guanzhong in December, colorful snowflakes fluttered down, standing on the palace wall wrapped in a thick coat, looking at the colorful snow, Li Jie felt uncomfortable.

It doesn't snow in Tianzhu.

I don't know when, Li Jie is no longer used to the snow in Guanzhong.

At some point, a gentle footstep sounded behind Li Jie, and after a while, the delicate little hand holding an umbrella covered Li Jie's head.

"Thank you."

Listening to Queen Wang's rare gentle voice, Li Jie didn't look back, still looking at the snowflakes falling in the early morning so sullenly, for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Do you love him?" I took such a big risk for him, and there are some things that I can't see. ”

"Love?" This question made Queen Wang confused, and she shook her head blankly for a while: "Is there any difference between this?" Since the beginning of my marriage, I have been used as a link to connect the Taiyuan King with the royal family, if the emperor is deposed, the Taiyuan Wang family as an in-law will not have a good end, if you want to count, even if I love him. ”

This answer made Li Jie dumbfounded, think about it carefully, but it is true, such as Li Shimin, as the son of the emperor of the ages, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to love Li Jie, but in the political situation, the two are like enemies in the game for round after round, and even Li Shimin signed several assassinations and attacks on Li Jie in the secret guard.

There is also Concubine Yang, Li Jie's mother, who came from the end of the Sui Dynasty, from the bottom of her heart she was tired of it, afraid of the struggle for power, and she also vetoed Li Jie's efforts, but now, isn't Li Jie still standing at the head of this Chang'an city, controlling the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in this city?

Losing the will to talk, Li Jie finally turned around, but patted Wang Yan's shoulder.

"Do what you have to do, and don't forget, your mission has changed, and it's time to "love" him in a different way. After speaking, Li Jie turned around and walked down the Chengtian Gate. Holding an umbrella, Wang Yan, who was dressed in a queen's formal suit, did not go there for the first time, but also looked at the colorful snow with a confused gaze.

A few quarters of an hour later, the gray sky finally began to slowly brighten, and the Tang Palace, which had been silent all night, quickly became lively and rippling.

The southern suburbs sacrifice to the sky, the most important sacrifice in China in the feudal era!

The scholars and hundreds of officials had been waiting in the palace last night, led by the eunuchs, and the huge honor guard of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army was playing ceremonial music, facing Xiaoxue and carrying the flag and long banner from the five gates, guarding the outermost, and in the center, the hundred officials were following on foot, wearing the most cumbersome curved deep clothes of the sergeant doctors, wearing a high crown, shaking their heads and following them.

However, the sequence of hundreds of officials in the past is different, in just a few days, the high-level power of the Tang Dynasty has undergone a makeover, leading the hundred officials to the forefront is the third duke, the once empty Taiwei is now being topped by Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, originally after Fang Xuanling's death, Situ's position is the special eldest grandson Wuji, but in essence, he has already controlled the power, and the eldest grandson Wuji did not care about a Situ official position and resigned, but now he has been replaced by Chu Suiliang, who has been following the back of the eldest grandson Wuji's buttocks, and has become the new Situ.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji, he became the biggest loser in this power struggle, and under the promotion of Li Jie, he was forced to become a prince due to illness, although the title of Sikong could be retained, but his position as the governor of Zhongshu Province and Zhongshu Ling was replaced by another prime minister, Liu Zheng, a servant under the Zhongshu Sect.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Zheng is the uncle of Queen Wang, the in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, and a relative!

Yuwen Festival, Han Ying and other three prime ministers under the same Zhongshu sect have also changed a lot to a greater or lesser extent, but on the whole, the rights of the prime minister have been mostly strengthened.

In front of the hundred officials, on the chariot that was lifted by thirty-two strong men together, stood two men and women wearing majestic costumes and ruling the world, Li Zhi and Queen Wang.

Wrapped in a thick emperor's robe, Li Zhi was still trembling in the winter snow, and he was excited.

Originally, after the coup d'état launched by Li Jie, Li Zhi was really discouraged, and his favorite concubine was used as a slave, and the queen could not protect him, this shame made Li Zhi grit his teeth every day and forget it, but after all, he was a person who had been the emperor, and his scheming was far deeper than what he saw on the surface, even if he was imprisoned in prison, Li Zhi still tried his best to save his life and wait for the opportunity to fight back.

Among them, including currying favor with Concubine Yang, and the secret hand with the eldest grandson Wuji to incite Zuo Xiaowei, but Li Zhi had a hundred dreams, but he didn't expect Li Jie to let him out one day.

Although it was only from the East Palace to the Taiji Palace, and the ceremony of worshipping the heavens was held under the supervision of Cong Cong, but the sacrifice to the sky has been the right of the Son of Heaven since ancient times, and if there is a desire to usurp the throne or change people, it will definitely not be Li Zhi's turn to sacrifice to the sky, and now the right to worship the sky is returned to himself, which shows that his emperor's life has not been broken.

Is there anything bigger in the world than the emperor? Along the way, standing beside the calm and silent Queen Wang, Li Zhi's hands were always trembling, even when he arrived at the southern suburbs of the capital, the sacrificial mounds that had been built with huge cost to build, he still couldn't suppress the excitement.

In the Chinese cosmology, the sky is round, so the mounds that worship the heavens are a circular altar, and the surrounding sacrificial places are square, facing the misty snow to the southern suburbs, according to the etiquette, the casual thousands of Beiya forbidden troops lined up around the mound with the banner of the Star Dou Domain, and displayed the twenty-eight stars in the world, the most center, Li Zhi wore a big fur, a gown, and wore a crown of twelve to go hand in hand with the queen and the queen, and all the officials were ranked behind.

In the sound of drums, the three animals as sacrificial tributes were moved to be slaughtered on the spot, and then a large firewood pile was piled up in front of the mound, and the emperor sacrificed the three animals of the emperor, jade, jade, and silk were placed on it, Li Zhi trembled and threw the torch on the firewood pile, and performed the burning ceremony.

The complicated sacrificial text in Zong Zhengqing's mouth seems to be frustrated by yin and yang, a cumbersome etiquette is meticulously implemented, and the power of the emperor ordered by the sky is spread vividly in the sense of mystery, after offering five qi to heaven and earth, the Son of Heaven will give the sacrificial meat to the ministers, for the gift of gauntlets, seeing the officials and ministers once again bow down to themselves, Li Zhi's heart can't help but surge, and he mutters viciously in his heart.

Lone is the emperor! No one can take away Lone's power!

The sacrifice took a full day, until sunset, and the huge procession of worshipping the heavens went home, walking through the long Suzaku Street back to the Taiji Palace.

Although he was still guarded by the guards, living in the Taiji Palace, Li Zhi seemed to see the light.

In the Lizheng Palace, not far from Taiji Palace, Li Jie is also making the final layout.

"The four of you gave the name Wang Zhi, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, starting today, you and others will be the leader of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and Wang Linggong will be in charge of the forbidden army with a thousand horsemen!"

Li Jie is ruthless enough, the four most famous eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all moved to the Tang Dynasty in one breath, in history, the eunuch dictatorship and the dictatorship of relatives have always been the unsolvable knot of the dynasty, in just a few months, Li Jie has greatly cultivated the eunuch power in the palace, almost all the military power in Chang'an City is controlled by the eunuchs except for the Fujian country's own soldiers, which is the first hoop that the Fujian State put on Li Zhi.

There is no shortage of talents among the eunuchs, and the newly canonized four eunuchs immediately bowed to the ground in ecstasy, and kowtowed respectfully: "Slaves and others swear allegiance to the King of Min!" ”

Looking at the four ambitious eunuchs, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and let a few of them go down, to be honest, the four eunuchs don't look grateful and loyal now, but in two days, it is estimated that these people will sell all the Fujian country.

But it doesn't matter, all Min needs is their ambition.

After sending them away, Wang Ling, who had been Li Jie's playmate for several days, also came to thank him, and today Li Zhi went to worship the sky, which was also the first day he controlled the thousand horses, and ordered Liu Zheng and Wang Ling to form a group of relatives in Taiyuan, and half of the military power in Chang'an was in their hands.

It is said that politicians are a mixture of liars, scoundrels, ruffians, and bitches, and the Taiyuan Wang family has struggled with Li Jie for ten years for the sake of interests, and in just a few months, it has also become a staunch ally of Fujian, and his relatives have become the second confinement of Li Zhi by Fujian.

After dealing with the trivial things in the Lizheng Palace, Li Jie turned around and put on his clothes in the increasingly dense night, and the sturdy Wenshan armor was wrapped around the clothes again, just as Li Jie was wearing, there were countless black shadows in the palace constantly picking something out of the palace, the snowflakes were still drifting, and the figure was longing for the Min King Tielin, who had been stationed in the Tang Palace for more than half a year, actually began to evacuate slowly.

After cleaning up, Li Jie also slowly walked out of the Lizheng Hall surrounded by more than a dozen guards led by Zanpo, and just walked into the courtyard, a staggering figure sweeping the floor with a big broom appeared in Li Jie's figure again, and he was full of melancholy to see Xu Jieyu, who was still reformed through labor, which could be regarded as adding a little fun to Li Jie.

casually took a large pile of fruit peels from the hall, passed by Xu Ying's side, Li Jie threw it away very vulgarly, and the yard that was finally cleaned was suddenly a mess again, and the angry Xu Ying almost threw away the broom, but unfortunately, the taste of starvation these days is too hard, and the slightly rough little hand twisted green tendons holding the broom burst out, and Xu Ying still cleaned up silently with tears in her eyes.

"After sweeping these, you will go to Taiji Palace and go to Lao Shi."

After sweeping for a few more seconds, Xu Ying reacted, and raised her head in surprise and amazement, but saw Li Jie staring at her with a straight face, which frightened her again.

"Remember, this time Lone can use you and your Xu family as a slave, and again, Lone can also let your little Xu family be destroyed in the Central Plains.

In the snowy night, the nail leaves rattled, leading the guards, Li Jie had been gone for a long time, Xu Ying was still trembling and kept sweeping, until it was cleaned up, and then he lost the broom and ran out of the palace like a ghost.

The Huzhou Xu clan, which was supposed to stand up and grow up like the Wenshui Wu clan, fell by mistake under the blow of the Fujian State.

In the early morning of the next day, all the Min * teams in the Taiji Palace disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared, and after half a year of turbulent coup, Chang'an seemed to have restored the calm of the early years of Yonghui.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Li Zhi was almost supported to go to the court, not afraid, but excited, and never imagined that Li Jie actually returned the throne.

However, Li Zhi would not be grateful to this ninth brother who had taught him a lesson, and when he came to the outer hall, the ministers were already waiting there, and as soon as he got on the cold dragon chair, Li Zhi almost bounced up and shouted: "Go to the court!" ”

First yin and then yang, first soft and then hard, slowly figure it, how to take revenge on the Fujian country, Li Zhi thought of a plan during the six months he was imprisoned, and after shouting a sentence, Li Zhi sat back on the dragon chair in good spirits, and planned to take it out, but it was not until a moment later that Li Zhi suddenly reacted.

The ministers did not move, even the servants of the eunuchs and eunuchs did not move.

"I said the court!" Quite annoyed, Li Zhi knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair and yelled loudly to the left and right, but, like wood, none of the eunuchs of the Three Princes and Jiuqing's palm prints paid any attention to him.

Until a wide step sounded behind him, Li Zhi looked back in amazement and walked over slowly, just behind the dragon chair I don't know when to set up a curtain hanging curtain curtain, open the bead curtain, Wang Yan sat on the same golden and shining phoenix chair solemnly, and the eunuch of the upper court dragged a long voice and roared: "Shang Chao~"

"Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty, to meet the Queen of Heaven!" Under the leadership of Chu Suiliang, in Li Zhi's stunned gaze, the ministers slowly bowed down and .......
