Wu Meiniang didn't go to rest, but just looked at her son's corpse in a daze.

Her face was calm, but her heart was full of pain.

Looking at the motionless body, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but stretch out her palm to caress his face.

"You seem to have been like this since you were a child, and there is always a light smile on the corner of your mouth, as if you just climbed out of your mother's arms."

"Mother is very sad to lose you forever, but my mother's tears... Why can't it flow out? ”

miserable, helpless, desolate.

She felt all of this, but now it wasn't as good as it had been at the beginning.

Why?

Although Li Hong finally had some unhappiness with her, such as helping the enemy's daughter get married.

Ignore the matter and expel her courtiers.

But none of this is enough to cut off their feelings.

After all, if he hadn't been born at the beginning, it would have been difficult for him to defeat King Xiao and the others.

Wu Meiniang looked at her hands in a daze.

She can be ruthless, but as a mother, can't you shed a tear when the child you value the most dies?

A light red internal force slowly emerged on Wu Meiniang's body.

"It must be the Xuantian Sect's exercises, it suppresses the pain in my heart!"

"Nope! Wrong! I've cried before, how could it be? ”

Wu Meiniang stood up abruptly and walked out, pacing back and forth outside the courtyard.

At the moment when she re-entered Li Hong's courtyard from outside the courtyard, she looked at the slave kneeling on the ground, and tears burst out of her eyes.

She knew, and she used to hear the voice calling her as soon as she came in, but now it was gone...

Wu Meiniang walked into the house again, held Li Hong's cold palm, and used all her strength to cross the internal force.

But everything was in vain, and the internal force that passed through it returned to the body in an instant, without accepting it at all.

After staying with her all night, Wu Meiniang's eyes were a little red and swollen and left.

Hong'a is dead, and Lee Hyun is the heir.

Li Xian is not obedient to her, nor is she at her mercy, there are many things she has to do, a lot!

A few days later.

The news of the death of the crown prince Li Hong was announced, and he was buried in Zhaoling.

Li Hong's death made Li Xian the second heir.

His title changed from King Pei to King Yong.

This title is almost all given to the second prince after the crown prince, and the son of Concubine Xiao Shu was awarded the title of King Yong.

As soon as this title came out, it was announced to the world, Li Xian, that is, the prince, and the other sons were not considered.

After that, Li Zhi preached that Li Hong was talented and benevolent.

In previous years, during the great drought, he ordered people to distribute food rations to the officers and soldiers, and all the people who heard about this move and accepted the favor were all full of sorrow.

At the same time, Liu Shenwei resigned, saying that he failed to persuade the prince to change his lungs, blamed himself, and had no shame to serve the royal family.

But Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang tried their best to keep it, saying that everything was Hong'er's own choice.

Liu Shenwei hesitated for many days, and saw that the second saint had no intention of letting him go, so he could only nod and stay.

Li Xian successfully sat on the throne of the crown prince of the East Palace, and at the beginning he showed his completely different methods of governance from Li Hong.

He is not as forward-looking as Li Hong, and he needs to think about it for a long time.

He is clever and witty, has excellent knowledge, and does things vigorously and resolutely, whether it is in the court or in private to communicate with ministers, he can talk eloquently.

And he also showed great respect to some old ministers, and every ten days and a half he would arrange for people to send gifts and condolences.

This also caused him to win people's hearts very quickly.

And there are two sons under Li Xian, which is also to tell everyone that if he is the prince, then the bloodline inheritance of the old Li family will not have to worry!

But Li Xian's approach made the two of them very interested.

One is Wu Meiniang, she can see that Li Xian has directly bypassed her in many things, and he has disposed of it by himself, and there is no need to report it, which is deliberately setting her up.

The other is Li Yunxiao, because when he wanted to arrange bad people, Li Xian seemed to have insight into something, and he only trusted some old ministers and some new faces that he had handed over a long time ago, and he would almost never reuse them.

It's a pity.

He didn't know that among the courtiers he was more considering, there was Li Yifu.

Li Yifu's reputation has been very bad for many years, and it has hardly been very good, and since he saved the princess, his reputation has only improved slightly.

And Li Zhi trusts Li Yifu, and Li Xian is not blind, he has been observing words and emotions in private for several years, so he naturally knows.

If there is anyone who Li Xian hates the most now, it must be Gao Lishi, the dead eunuch.

Or anyone who is a little closer to his mother, Wu Meiniang.

After so many years of observing outside, how could he not know about the royal affairs?

Li Yunxiao didn't pay attention to the affairs in Beijing, it didn't matter how they made trouble, as long as they didn't hurt his bad people and didn't harm the people, even if they demolished the palace, it would be something they were happy to do.

And now he is leaving for Raojiang to find Yuan Tiangang.

For he had heard from the bad mouths that were scattered everywhere that there was a man in rags, who looked like him!

But before he could catch up, the man vanished, and the bad guy wasn't sure if he was dazzled.

But Li Yunxiao would rather believe it than believe it, and he has to try it anyway.

In the past few years, he did not ask to send 5,000 troops to change into civilian clothes to search, but in the end, there was no shadow.

It can be seen that Yuan Tiangang is hiding from people and wants to close himself off.

....

Four months later, winter begins.

The open and secret battle between Wu Meiniang and Li Xian has completely begun.

The rights that have been obtained step by step for decades have been suppressed by Li Xian in just a few months, she is uncomfortable, and she is even more unhappy!

As for this matter, Li Zhi's attitude is ambiguous, and he does not accept her power, nor does he speak out for her, and he also turns a blind eye to the swaying of the prime minister and ministers, and sways all day long.

Now it was their turn to guess what Li Zhi was thinking.

But fortunately, some of Li Xian's actions are true, but they hurt the people, and the improper handling of corrupt officials made Di Renjie say it a few times.

Wu Meiniang now looks at Di Renjie more and more pleasing to the eye.

Li Xian listened to Di Renjie's words, but he still went his own way, but slightly reduced his expenses.

At this time, someone introduced Wu Meiniang, saying that he could deal with it if he used it well, and maybe he could reuse it in the future.

Xue Yuanchao!

Many years ago, because of the crime of fornication, he was demoted by Li Zhi.

When the world was amnesty, Li Zhi transferred him back, after all, he had been with him since he was a child, and now he should come back.

When Wu Meiniang heard Xue Yuanchao, she wanted to refuse, because this guy was killed by someone from the Xuantian Sect at the beginning, and the person from the Xuantian Sect was introduced by her.

Xue Yuanchao is not a fool, he will definitely guess something.

But after a little thought, she thought she could pull it over.

She knows Li Zhi, and he must remember that if she promotes Xue Yuanchao, she can not only make up for some things to block Xue Yuanchao's mouth, but also please Li Zhi, wouldn't it be wonderful to do this?

The decision was made, and after that, it was time to wait for the moment.

And during this time, Wu Meiniang was not idle, but ordered someone to write the 'New Commandments of Hundred Bureaucrats'.

The book lists a bunch of taboos for people and ministers, such as strictly prohibiting forming parties, not exceeding etiquette, prohibiting private personal relations with princes, princes and others, and so on.

It's almost like writing Li Xian's name directly on it.

Many people in the officialdom were uncomfortable when they received this new commandment.

They have been in officialdom for so long, do they still need the queen's teaching? Besides, Li Xian's handling of things is not bad now, you are not good at staying in the harem as a woman, so you have to come out to work against Li Xian, isn't it idle to do anything?

But they just say these things in their hearts, who dares to say it on the real surface?
