Wenchen and Nengchen immediately united the front and sternly opposed it.

The courtiers were finally more loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Seventy years ago, there was a woman of the Wu clan who defeated the queen Wang, so that she ascended the throne to change the crown prince, and was called the second saint with the Son of Heaven, and finally sat on the throne of the emperor. After a change of dynasty and bloody rain, Li Tang almost perished.

Seventy years later, they wouldn't allow it to happen again. The Son of Heaven made such a request today, and in their opinion, it was a joke about the Tang Dynasty!

Even Zhang Shuo, who was once recruited by Concubine Wuxian and even had a heart for it, did not give a different performance this time because he wanted to fight with Nengchen - he didn't dare.

"Qi Shengren, there are many rumors among the people, saying that Zhang Youcheng wants to take the merit of the future, and has surrendered to the virtuous concubine. Whether this matter is true or not, does the saint want to see again the evil consequences that can be caused by the collusion between the harem and the courtiers? ”

Zhang Shuo hurriedly knelt on the ground when he heard this: "The minister is wronged!" Liwu Xianfei is the latter matter, and the minister also thinks it is inappropriate! ”

Seeing that there was only one voice left in the DPRK and China for a long time, Li Longji couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He habitually turned his head to take a look, and then remembered that Xiao Jiangyuan had taken sick leave and was not around for the past few days.

He was just a turn of his mind, and the ministers in the hall had knelt down one after another, and the voices of opposition came and went one after another, and they were endless for a long time.

…… Why are you still so noisy?

He was suddenly a little annoyed: "Have you said enough?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall, but in an instant, another courtier got up and came out of the ranks, and solemnly bowed his hand to Li Longji and said: "Enlighten the saint, the salute says: The enmity of parents is not shared!" Although there is the Empress of Heaven above, but my Tang Dynasty has died because of the Wu family, everyone can see it, how can the women of the Wu family be *? Furthermore, the prince was not born to the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine has her own flesh and blood, if the virtuous concubine is sealed, what should the prince do? The minister can't let the saint put the Tang Dynasty and the prince in danger, and ask the saint to take back his fate! ”

The ministers immediately said in unison: "Please also ask the saint to take back his fate!" ”

Li Longji knew that the hundred officials would oppose it, but he didn't expect their attitude to be so fierce.

If he delays it for a while in order to have a few more good days, he is afraid that the next court meeting will see that the entire hall is a public service and crown, then the matter will be a big problem. After all, he is a son of heaven who knows people and listens to a wide range of people, and it is impossible to completely ignore the opinions of hundreds of officials, and what they say is not unreasonable, the most important thing is his own mind.

Li Longji pretended to mutter, and said, "Since this is the case, then it will not be established." ”

As soon as the words fell, he remembered the scene when Concubine Wu Xian dressed up and knelt down to recommend herself. At that time, she was so confident, and she was still shining in the somewhat dark palace. Especially her eyes full of ambition and hope reminded Li Longji of himself when he was young, so he couldn't refuse.

For so many years, he and Yueniang have been not only a husband and wife who have been with each other day and night, but also a partner with a similar heart. The relationship between him and her is no longer comparable to ordinary concubines.

Li Longji thought for a while, and said solemnly: "For the rest of my life, I will no longer stand as a queen." ”

Without waiting for the courtiers to react, he immediately said: "The harem system has been followed for many years, and I have always felt that something is wrong. "The Book of Rites" once said: After the ancient emperor established and the six palaces, there were three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives. Among them, the queen is in the palace, the same body as the king, the lady sits on the women's ceremony, the nine concubines teach the four virtues, the women of the world are the main funerals, sacrifices, guests, and the female royal order is in the king's swallow bed. I have four concubines in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, so why don't I change it to three concubines to follow the ancient rites. Sacrifice of people—"

Zhang Jiuling looked at all the colleagues in the hall, only lowered his head, and did not have any intention of writing.

Li Longji understood what Zhang Jiuling meant. Although the duties of the Zhongshu Sheren are fictitious, not all the decrees issued by the emperor can be drawn up. If the will is wrong, then the emperor is not wrong, and the fault is that there is no advice, and the Zhongshu people who obey the emperor's will are wrong.

He would be the target of the courtiers' attacks for a time, and the wrong will would be.

It's not that Zhang Jiuling can't resist all the criticism and pressure for the emperor, but that is when he thinks it's right, and at the moment, he doesn't know whether it's right or wrong.

He suddenly thought of Li Linfu. I heard that he had taken sick leave, and I don't know what kind of reaction the saint would have had if he had been here.

Li Longji also remembered Li Linfu at this time. He was sick, Xiao Jiangyuan was also "sick", neither of them was there, so this step had to be created by Li Longji himself:

"Why, I followed your advice on the matter of establishing the queen, and now I want to change the harem system, this matter has nothing to do with national politics, and you still have to oppose it?"

Wenchen and Nengchen looked at each other, and they both wanted to wait for the other party to speak first, and then plan before acting.

Seeing the noise in the hall, which was quiet and quiet, Li Longji couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Don't speak? Then I agreed in public. Since there is nothing to say at this time, if there is any more words in the future, it will be a deliberate antagonism against me, a great crime of disrespect! ”

Hearing Li Longji's tone aggravated and hidden anger, the ministers had no choice but to say "yes" and recognize Fang Cai's meaning. After all, the Son of Heaven has taken a step back, and they have to accept it when they see it, and they can't offend the Son of Heaven so badly. Mutual concession and fulfillment, this is the way for the court to be stable and long-term.

Li Longji said again: "Giving up people to pretend—"

Zhang Jiuling only then held his sleeve in one hand, held the pen in the other, dipped in ink, and his movements were elegant and graceful.

"Now in the sixth palace, Concubine Liu has followed me for the longest time, and has an eldest son, and she has been renamed as a 'Hua Concubine' to show her virtue; Zhaoyi Zhao is the biological mother of the prince, and she is named a positive concubine 'Concubine Li' to show her merits;

Not only that, Li Longji also deliberately elevated all the benefits of Concubine Wu Hui, as if she were a queen - it is inconvenient to write it in the canonization book.

At this point, Concubine Liu Hua, Concubine Zhao Lifei and Concubine Wu Hui finally stepped onto the stage of history.

Concubine Liu Hua has always been very low-key, neither humble nor arrogant, not fighting or grabbing, after learning of this will, she just bowed in the direction of Li Longji to show her gratitude, and continued to live as usual.

When the eunuch sent the book to Concubine Zhao Li's bedroom, he couldn't find her anywhere.

"What, Concubine Li is missing?" Soon after the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Longji learned the news, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately got up and wanted to take someone to look for her, "She is not seriously ill and has been bedridden for many days, how can she be missing?" How did the group of palace people and eunuchs in her palace serve? ”

Before Li Longji could walk outside the hall, the crown prince Li Hong had already rushed over, knelt down in front of Li Longji and cried: "Aya, what should I do!" ”

"What are you crying about?" Li Longji was stunned, "Why don't you send someone to find it?" It doesn't matter where she often goes on weekdays, or where she doesn't go often, use everyone in the palace, even if she turns the whole palace over, she has to find Concubine Li for me! ”

The crown prince Li Hong now had the backbone, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and followed Li Longji very attachmentfully, both worried and sad and happy for a while.

In the end, it was the soldiers of Miyagi Mingdemen who heard about this, so they hurriedly informed the palace people of Zhao Lifei's whereabouts.

- Zhao Roujiang is on the tower of Mingde Gate.

It is the only gate in the entire palace that can see the Luoshui outside the palace.

Zhao Roujiang thinly applied powder, only two vermilion hairbands were tied to the fairy bun, the upper body was a rouge-colored treasure flower half-arm and snow-white twined dark pattern canneck, and the lower body was a small flower skirt with jade and ginger. The skirt is huge, and when it is spread out, it is like a peacock opening the screen, bright and gorgeous, and with her dancing posture, it is so beautiful that it is moving.

Zhao Roujiang's personal palace people were the first to come here, she knelt not far from the dancing Zhao Roujiang, looked at her master worriedly, and while persuading the master to go back with her, she told her Li Longji's will: "The saint named Mrs. Li Fei. The saint always remembered that his lady was beautiful and beautiful, and it was his favorite appearance......"

Zhao Roujiang's dance steps were only slightly paused, and then she continued to spin, as if everything the palace people said had nothing to do with her.

When she stopped completely, it was the moment she fell.

She didn't wait for her husband and son to come, but fell on the cold stone floor. She stroked the dust from the ground and raised her hand to her eyes with the last of her strength. She saw what she wanted to see, as small and small as she had missed, but real and comfortable, and finally smiled at all.

Unable to see Concubine Zhao Li for the last time, the crown prince Li Hong was grief-stricken and fell to cry in front of his mother's spirit.

Listening carefully to the palace people talking about Concubine Zhao Li's situation before her death, Li Longji was both aware and stunned.

The country is not old, and the red face is old.

What if she was dressed up as she was before she met him? It's just a lie to yourself.

He didn't want to be bound by this sad emotion, nor did he want to see his son crying bitterly, so a eunuch rushed to him and whispered, and he left Zhao Lifei's dormitory, which was the last time he set foot here.

After only a day of rest, such a big thing happened in the palace, and Xiao Jiangyuan had no excuse after hearing about it, so he went straight to the palace in his whole suit.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan holding up the "sick body" to take care of Concubine Zhao Li's funeral, the crown prince Li Hong was very moved, and he knew her since he was a child, so he transferred a little admiration to her.

Li Longji's children are almost all grown up by Xiao Jiangyuan since he was a child, and among them, the emperor's eldest son Li Cong and the crown prince Li Hong have the longest time. Seeing the crown prince Li Hong mourning like this, her heart couldn't help but tighten. She walked quickly to the crown prince Li Hong and knelt down, learned from the queen of heaven back then, reached out and stroked the sideburns of the crown prince Li Hong, and then held him in her arms.

In fact, for her, a eunuch, it was disrespectful to make such an action to the prince, but she was not worried that the crown prince Li Hong would blame her. She felt from the bottom of her heart that the crown prince Li Hong would not only not be disgusted, but would also accept it very much.

"Second brother ......" such a warm embrace, the crown prince Li Hong has not felt it for a long time. As Xiao Jiangyuan expected, he not only accepted it all, but also hugged him back very dependently.
