After Li Zhi finished speaking, Wu Zetian was also stunned on the spot.

What did you hear? The eldest grandson Wuji wants to resign and resign?

Is this possible?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, where did you hear that? This is no joke. ”

Wu Zetian was also a little trembling when he spoke, looking at Li Zhi, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Really, it's more real than real gold, in just these two days, the eldest grandson Wuji will be on the table and ask for resignation."

Li Zhi directly hugged Wu Zetian, happy like a child.

After turning for a while, Li Zhi fell on the sofa with Wu Zetian in his arms.

"Mei Niang, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

"Nine years, nine years."

Li Zhi leaned on the sofa, looked at the roof, and said to himself.

"Your Majesty, it's not that Mei Niang wants to pour cold water on you, if the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't leave for a day, we can't relax our vigilance for a day, is it possible that the eldest grandson Wuji is a trick?"

To be honest, Wu Zetian still doesn't believe that the eldest grandson Wuji will go into the wild so easily.

"No, it won't."

Li Zhi shook his head, he had also thought about Wu Zetian's worries, but now that he thought about it, what if it was a trick?

As long as he leaves the position of prime minister, the eldest grandson Wuji is a toothless tiger, and he no longer poses any threat to himself.

"Your Majesty, since you are convinced, shouldn't we think about who will succeed to the position of prime minister after the eldest grandson Wuji goes into the wilderness, after all, Datang can't be without a prime minister for a day.

And the eldest grandson Wuji stepped down, and his forces must also be swept away, so he can't keep his tail and let it resurge. ”

Although Wu Zetian didn't understand why Li Zhi was so sure, since he said so, there must be his reason.

"I came to you for this matter, I have to discuss, I can't let Datang have chaos because of my uncle's resignation."

Li Zhi nodded, this is what he came to do.

"Then who does Your Majesty think is more suitable?"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, if the eldest grandson Wuji fell, her power would be a little too big.

After all, the emperor is the emperor and will not allow others to share the profits.

Whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji or the queen himself, it is impossible.

Li Zhi had the same heart with himself before, just to support her to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji,

Now, if you don't take this step well, maybe it will be your turn.

"Xu Jingzong, how do you feel? This person is talented and virtuous, and he is loyal to Datang. ”

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetian and directly mentioned her number one henchman, Xu Jingzong.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong is talented and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is still a little worse."

Wu Zetian shook her head, she would definitely not let her power expand now.

It is not only to show Li Zhi's absolute authority, but also to show his own attitude.

"If Xu Jingzong can't do it, how about Li Yifu, although there was some contradiction with Du Zhenglun at the beginning, but this person is also a loyal person of the Tang Dynasty, if you feel that you can, you will recall him to Chang'an, the prime minister."

Li Zhi also mentioned Li Yifu, who was deposed to Puzhou.

"Li Yifu is greedy for money and lustful, and it is inappropriate for Prime Minister Kong, I hope Your Majesty will find someone else."

Wu Zetian shook her head again, no matter whether Li Zhi was tempting herself or not, she would not change her strategy.

Anyone can be this prime minister, but Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu cannot.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so who should be the prime minister? How is Renya Xiang? ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly and proposed a third candidate.

"What Your Majesty said is that Yan Ran, who accompanied General Su Dingfang to conquer the Western Turks, protected Ren Yaxiang?"

Wu Zetian was also stunned when she heard this name, she still knew a little about the officials of the Tang Dynasty over the years of her prime minister's government.

Renya is capable of literature and martial arts, and once broke the Western Turks with Su Dingfang, and he is indeed a capable person.

But can this person really do it?

"That's right, this person can be civil and martial, I'm very optimistic."

Li Zhi nodded, he was actually thinking about the candidate for prime minister on the way back to the palace, and the selection of Ren Yaxiang also appeared from his mind.

"If Your Majesty is optimistic, then let's decide, I believe he will not live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Although I don't know how much of this Renya is good, since it is Li Zhixuan's person, she naturally has no objections.

Anyway, the prime minister actually serves the emperor, and major decisions still have to be submitted to the emperor for adjudication.

"You don't think about it anymore?"

Li Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Zetian to agree so easily, this was indeed beyond his imagination.

"What's the consideration for this, the person chosen by His Majesty must be the most suitable person, and Mei Niang is just a woman, and it is not easy to ask about the affairs of the court, so it is good for Your Majesty to call the shots."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said his mind again.

"Mei Niang, you think too much, I don't mean anything else."

Glancing at Wu Zetian, Li Zhi couldn't help frowning, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, you also think too much, Mei Niang has no other meaning.

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji has decided to go into hiding, His Majesty's heart has been removed.

Next, Mei Niang can concentrate on serving His Majesty, and she doesn't have to think about those things in the court. ”

Wu Zetian leaned directly on Li Zhi's chest, and his fingers kept drawing circles on it.

"Mei Niang, it is really my blessing to have a wife like this, but I don't allow you to rest like this, without you helping me deal with those government affairs, I can be annoyed to death."

Li Zhi hugged Wu Zetian in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.

That night, a superstitious letter was quietly sent to Xu Jingzong's house, and after reading the content of the secret letter, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but be shocked.

I looked at the night sky overhead, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

"Father, I have already met with Your Majesty, and I have told Your Majesty all the news that you are going to retire, you... You are ready to submit your resignation to Your Majesty. ”

The eldest grandson Yan returned to the eldest grandson's mansion and came straight to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Well, since everything that should be said has been said, the old man has nothing to be nostalgic about."

Time passed one day, two days, and finally on the third day of the court meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji appeared on the Jinluan Palace in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at the figure of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi's eyes were full of complexity.

"The officials have something to do early, and they have nothing to retreat from."

Ryan cleared his throat and shouted at the civil and military below.

"Your Majesty, the minister Sun Wuji has a plan to play."

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the colleagues around him and knelt directly in front of Li Zhi.

"Prime Minister, why is this so? Get up and speak. ”

The actions of the eldest grandson Wuji not only surprised the hundred officials, but even Li Zhi was shocked.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been conscientious since the first emperor, and he has never dared to slack off in the slightest in his duties, and now the old minister is already old, and it is really difficult to continue in the face of this prime minister."

"Therefore, the old minister is not here for anything else, just to ask His Majesty for resignation, and I hope to allow the eldest grandson Wuji to resign as prime minister and find another virtuous successor."

The eldest grandson Wuji said that he directly slammed his head on the ground.

His words were like a hurricane sweeping through the entire Jinluan Palace, and the civil and military officials looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with disbelief.

No one would have imagined that the first powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been in the position of prime minister for so long, would take the initiative to resign.

"Prime Minister, have you really decided to do so?"

Li Zhi looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked again.

"The old minister's body really doesn't allow it, and I hope Your Majesty can be sympathetic to the old minister and approve the old minister's resignation."

The eldest grandson Wuji slammed his head on the ground again, hoping that Li Zhi would agree quickly, and let his mind go.

"Prime Minister, you..."

Li Zhi shook his head, and finally sighed: "That's it, that's it, since the eldest grandson is old, I will allow it." ”

"Eldest grandson Wuji, thank you for your grace."

The eldest grandson Wuji slammed his head on the ground again and thanked Li Zhi.

"Spread the message, the eldest grandson Wuji is conscientious, dedicated to the country, has outstanding merits, has contributed to the community, and benefited all the people.

I specially commended the eldest grandson Wuji as the king of the county, added 5,000 households, rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 horses of silk and satin.

Jiafeng's son and grandson Yan are the dukes of Duyuan County, with 1,500 households, 1,000 taels of gold, and 100 horses of silk and satin. ”

Li Zhi had already thought of a reward for the eldest grandson Wuji, the other party was the only old man left in the Tang Dynasty, and he was his uncle, and he was the strongest promoter of his accession to the throne.

This will make him already determined to quit the court, and his reward cannot be missing, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a precedent of a different surname to be crowned a king, and his uncle is worth it.

"The eldest grandson Wuji, thank you, Lord Longen."
