After Li Xian announced the dissolution of the dynasty, all the ministers left separately, went out of the palace or went to the place where they were on duty, Liu Yi also saw the opportunity to wait for Pei Xingjian, and walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall with Pei Xingjian.

Today's personnel appointment situation is very puzzling, and Liu Yi is also very puzzled about his position change.

As the "secretary of the garrison department" who was dismissed after serving for more than 20 days, Liu Yi did not quite understand why Li Xian personally presided over the court meeting on the first day to announce such a decision on appointment and dismissal, Liu Yi knew that his post as the secretary of the garrison department was not very long, but he was dismissed in less than a month, which was still very surprising to him. The situation in the military department has just become familiar, and officials at all levels have almost done things according to his way of doing things, and in this case, he is still a little uncomfortable when he is removed from his post, but it is Pei Xingjian who takes over the position, and Liu Yi still feels a little relieved, and the handover of some things should still be relatively smooth.

Liu Yi had some doubts to ask Pei Xingjian, coupled with the appointment and dismissal of the old and new chief officials, there were many things to be handed over, the two of them were talking a few words, and they also went directly to the military department yamen located in Taiji Palace.

After Pei Xingjian and Liu Yi came to the yamen of the Ministry of War, after talking to the officials in charge of the Ministry of War about the appointment and dismissal, the two also entered a separate room on the grounds that some secret affairs needed to be handed over, closed the door, and did not let others disturb them.

"Yi'an, you must be wondering about the situation that happened in the middle of the court today, right?!" After Pei Xingjian sat down, he asked Liu Yi directly.

Liu Yi nodded, "I don't understand!"

"Your Majesty, this is involuntary and helpless! That's why he will announce it at today's court meeting," Pei Xingjian sighed and said, "Your Majesty's meaning today is to use the words of a few prime ministers who obey him to force the Queen Mother to let go of the court, but I didn't expect that Pei Yan would say this, and besides, the Queen Mother would leave the court halfway..."

"Teacher, this is not a surprise to the disciples, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, the queen mother is definitely unwilling to give up power, and the surprise of the disciples is that these personnel appointments and dismissals announced by His Majesty today are really not easy to understand!"

Liu Yi knew that when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely announce a series of new policies, as well as personnel appointments and dismissals, but at today's court meeting, Li Xian only announced the handling of the situation in Anxi, and did not take out anything else related to the government, which is not a normal place. There is also a place that is not very understandable, that is, the announced appointment and dismissal of personnel, if it is said that the disposal of Anxi affairs, the establishment of two major metropolitan protectorates in Anxi, and the strengthening of the governance of the original Anxi land, such a new policy can be said to be Li Xian's original intention, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel is not like Li Xian's own intention. These appointed officials like Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi, and other generals of the Praetorian Guard in the palace, according to Liu Yi's information, are almost all figures cited by Wu Zetian as a cronie, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and most of the first personnel appointments and dismissals were not characters that he could control, which was a bit unbelievable.

"If you say that everything announced at the court meeting today is the meaning of the Queen Mother, don't you understand?" Pei Xingjian had a serious look on his face, and said in a low voice.

"All personnel appointments and dismissals, as well as the handling of Anxi affairs, are all the meaning of the Queen Mother?" Liu Yi was a little surprised.

Pei Xingjian nodded, "Exactly, it's all the Queen Mother's intention, the way to deal with Anxi is to play for the Queen Mother, these things, Your Majesty can't do it now... As the chief minister entrusted by the emperor, Pei Yan has power in the handling of court affairs that we cannot compare with others, and these affairs announced at the court meeting today are the result of discussions between Pei Yan and the Queen Mother!"

"The Queen Mother did this, isn't that your majesty's power hollowed out? Will His Majesty be willing to admit it? Liu Yi thought of Li Xian's iron-blue face at the court meeting, if the new emperor's enthronement was jubilant, then Li Xian of today's reign must not have this mood, as the emperor presided over the court meeting for the first time, this happened, he was forced to say in front of the ministers that the court affairs were handed over to his mother to deal with, and when some ministers argued for themselves, his mother brushed his sleeves away, and the blow to him would be very big.

Pei Xingjian shook his head, "Of course I won't be willing to admit it, this drama should be negotiated between His Majesty and Zhang Da'an, Pei Yan greeted the Queen Mother so vigorously, it should be something they didn't expect, and the Queen Mother's departure in the middle of the road was something they didn't consider!"

Pei Xingjian stared at Liu Yi for a moment, and continued: "Presumably, this situation will make the Queen Mother very wary of Your Majesty's future methods, like you, a general who is now in a high position in the palace, the Queen Mother will definitely summon you to discuss secretly, and Your Majesty will also summon you to discuss the situation...... Alas, the first emperor is newly mourned, and there will definitely be turmoil in the DPRK and China, and I hope that the shorter the time of turmoil, the better!"

Liu Yi listened to Pei Xingjian's emotion, stared at him with some disregard for etiquette, and asked directly: "Why didn't the teacher express his support for which side today?" ”

Hearing Liu Yi's question, Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Yi meant, smiled, and then had a serious look on his face, and said: "The teacher has expected that the queen mother will not be willing to hand over power, and before the matter is clear, of course the teacher will not stand up and say anything clearly, I hope you will too... Don't bring trouble to yourself by being on the wrong side!"

"Does the teacher want the Queen Mother to continue to hold power? Would you like to see a Empress Lu also appear in my Tang Dynasty? Liu Yi continued to ask questions that Pei Xingjian did not expect.

Pei Xingjian looked at Liu Yi in surprise, "Yi'an, don't you understand what you just said for the teacher?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head, "The apprentice understands, the apprentice, like the teacher, doesn't want chaos in the court, nor does he want a fight between the Queen Mother and His Majesty, I hope that my Datang can develop smoothly and not cause chaos, but now in such a situation, chaos will inevitably occur!" His Majesty is very talented and ambitious, and he will not be willing to obey the Queen Mother, and he is unwilling to see and tolerate the Queen Mother taking charge of court affairs, and His Majesty is not young, and he is already close to the age of establishment, but his foundation in the court is still shallow, and there are not many ministers who can support him, the Queen Mother has been in power for many years, and there are many ministers who have been promoted by her. There will be chaos... If there is chaos, what will the teacher do? Please also make it clear to the apprentices, so that the apprentices can understand something!"

Pei Xingjian looked at Liu Yi in a daze for a while, his eyes became a little gloomy, "We can take a look... Riding on the wall, but it looks like you're going to support Your Majesty... Alas, I don't even know what to say about you!"

"Teacher, if you say in vain that the Queen Mother will one day abolish the current emperor and become the emperor herself, you say... Would you want that to happen? Liu Yi threw a bombshell again.

"What?" Pei Xingjian opened his mouth wide in surprise, with an unbelievable look, "Yi'an, are you confused, the Queen Mother is the queen of the former emperor, a female streamer, and now that she has been criticized for interfering in politics, how dare you ...... You must not say this to other people, if it enters the ears of other people, you will definitely lose your life!"

Liu Yi looked very determined, "Teacher, if Your Majesty loses in the battle, it is likely that this situation will occur, and the desire for power will make a person lose his mind, even if it is a person like the Queen Mother!"

Pei Xingjian looked at Liu Yi in a daze for a while, his expression was very complicated, and finally his face became full of frustration, "Rong Weishi will go back and think about it, don't tell anyone about today's matter, you better listen to Weishi's words first, don't make anything clear, the Queen Mother's methods are endless, you will see immediately, her follow-up measures..."

Two days later, Emperor Li Xian announced at the court meeting that Pei Yan's recital in the service hall would be placed in Zhongshu Province in the future, and it would be presided over by Zhongshu Ling, the governor of Zhongshu Province, and the Empress Dowager had agreed to this recital.

As soon as this proposal came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was in the province of Menxia, called the political hall, Zhenguan, the eldest grandson Wuji was Sikong, Fang Xuanling was the left servant of Shangshu, Wei Zheng was the prince and the prince, all of them were in the province of Menxia, and now Pei Yan was appointed as the Zhongshu Order, but he wanted to move the political hall to Zhongshu Province, which was opposed by others, especially Pei Xingjian, who led the middle position, as well as Xue Yuanchao, Zhang Da'an and others, and the emperor Li Xian also did not agree with this proposal, but Wu Zetian supported, the matter was still so decided, Li Xian was forced by Wu Zetian's pressure, The matter had to be announced in the court, and the courtiers were not allowed to discuss it again.

After this court meeting, Pei Xingjian's condition began to deteriorate again, unable to take care of the affairs of the court, repeatedly resigned, Emperor Li Xian did not agree to Pei Xingjian's resignation, but under Pei Yan's proposal, and under the pressure of Wu Zetian, Pei Xingjian's request was finally approved, Pei Xingjian resigned along with the post of the guard, and the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the military department was still led by Liu Yi, and the secretary of the military department was appointed and dismissed like a marquee within a month or two, which made people even more confused. And Wu Sansi, who originally led the middle of the guard, also officially became the middle of the waiter, which also made some people finally understand why there were two guards in the first place, and there was such a strange setting as the waiter.

After Pei Xingjian resigned due to illness, Zhang Daan was also removed from the post of prime minister, transferred to the post of imperial historian, and dismissed the governor.

Wu Zetian's methods were used one after another, but what was strange was that Emperor Li Xian became more and more calm, as if all this chaos in the court had nothing to do with him.

Liu Yi was still busy between the Yulin Army camp and the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and Princess Taiping at this time was taken back to Princess Taiping's mansion because the delivery date was approaching, but Liu Yi did not have much time to go back to the mansion to accompany Princess Taiping, who was about to give birth.

On September 25 of the first year of Yongchun, Princess Taiping gave birth to a daughter in the princess's mansion accompanied by Liu Yi, who was urgently summoned back to the house.

On October 12, Li Zhi's coffin was finally buried, and the construction of the Qianling Tomb in Liangshan began.

After the emperor was buried, the heavy filial piety ceremony in the palace was also excepted, it stands to reason that the state affairs and court affairs are gradually becoming formal, but almost everyone feels that in the Daming Palace, there is a depressing feeling that the mountain rain is coming!
