Chapter 732: The Aftermath
Led by Li Zhong and Yang Daolin, hundreds of civil and military ministers gathered in Changle Palace at this time, and with the gradual calming of the situation inside and outside the imperial city, more ministers went out of their homes and went to the imperial city.
Xiao Lezi walked out, bowed to Li Zhong, Yang Daolin and the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty wakes up and lets you in." ”
Many people saw a very heavy sadness on Xiao Lezi's face, which was a look that was very important in their hearts and was about to leave.
Zhao Zhi is about to die, his life has come to an end, and at this time, he summoned all the ministers in the political affairs hall to enter, I am afraid that he is preparing to explain the future.
Zhao Zhi ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of thirty-six, and reigned for twenty-six years, from the time he was the prince to govern the country, if it is counted from that time, to the present nearly forty years, many officials present, from the entry to the twilight of the old man, can be regarded as a lifetime in the hands of Zhao Zhi, such an official, the feelings for Zhao Zhi are extremely deep.
Now, Zhao Zhi's life is coming to an end, and many people guessed this possibility from the look on Xiao Lezi's face, and they cried bitterly and shouted to see the emperor.
Seeing the ministers like this, Xiao Lezi's eyes were also red, but he could only hold back his emotions and said loudly to everyone: "The emperor summoned all the ministers in the political hall to explain important matters. ”
With that, Xiao Lezi nodded at Li Zhong, then moved out of the way and motioned for them to go in.
After a purge of the political affairs hall, there are only six ministers now, but like Liu Zhigu, although he was dismissed as prime minister and did not have any official position, he has high prestige and qualifications, and like Liu Congji, although he is not a minister, but he is also involved in political affairs, and he is in charge of the imperial history platform, and his power and prestige in the court do not have to be much lower than Xiangguo, they also followed Li Zhong and others into Changle Palace, in this regard, Xiao Lezi did not stop him, obviously Zhao Zhi had a special explanation for him, the reason why he didn't say it was probably because he didn't want too many people to rush into Changle Palace.
Li Zhong and more than 30 others are not many, but they represent the mainstream forces of the court.
Xiao Lezi suddenly shouted loudly: "Is Zhai Hongliang coming?" ”
Everyone looked left and right, and after a while, Zhai Hongliang squeezed from the back to the front, he still had injuries on his body, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he was beaten by Hu Zhibing.
"I'm here, what instructions does my father-in-law have?"
Zhai Hongliang asked with his hand over to Xiao Lezi.
Xiao Lezi said: "Your Majesty called your name, you can also go in." ”
Zhai Hongliang nodded, and also entered Changle Palace.
Zhao Zhi singled out Zhai Hongliang's name, which surprised many people, the group of people who just entered can be said to be the representatives of the entire court forces, Zhai Hongliang is just a small imperial history from the seventh grade, what is it?
Zhao Zhi was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, bloodless, the rest of his body was very cold, but his head was bubbling with beads of sweat, Li Yi sat on the edge of the bed, holding a silk scarf and kept touching the sweat for Zhao Zhi, the temperature touched by the palm of his hand was cold, but the sweat kept coming out, which was too abnormal.
Li Zhong and the others walked into the dormitory, and when they saw Zhao Zhi's appearance, everyone's faces showed sadness, Li Zhong looked at the imperial doctor on the side, with questions in his eyes, and the imperial doctor shook his head silently at him, the meaning was very clear, Zhao Zhi's life was about to end, and he was powerless to return to heaven.
Li Zhong stepped forward and called softly, "Your Majesty, Minister Li Zhong is here." ”
Zhao Zhi's eyes slowly opened, looking at Li Zhong, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a weak voice: "You are here, I will be relieved." ”
"Let Your Majesty worry, the minister deserves death."
On the battlefield, Li Zhong, who has been born and died countless times, and has always been able to talk and laugh freely in the face of death, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhao Zhi said softly: "It's good to come, it's good to come!" ”
"Big brother, you have to hold on, Dajin can't live without you."
Li Zhong couldn't hold back any longer, and tears suddenly flowed out.
Zhao Zhi grabbed Li Zhong's hand and shook his head: "Second brother, now is not the time to cry. ”
Li Zhong nodded, wiped away his tears with his hands, and the look on his face became resolute, Zhao Zhi was right, now is not the time to cry, all dynasties, the change of imperial power, has always been an earth-shattering event, any accident, it is the earth shakes, implicating the overall situation of the whole world.
Zhao Zhi patted Li Yi's hand, Li Yi didn't speak, got up silently, and stood aside, seeing this, everyone gathered around.
Zhao Zhi silently glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Zhai Hongliang: "Zhai Yushi, from now on, you can record all the words said here, and don't miss a word." ”
"Minister, obey the order."
Zhai Hongliang nodded, sat aside, and began to grind, preparing for the record.
Subsequently, Zhao Zhi asked Li Zhong and Yang Daolin to tell him in detail what happened inside and outside the imperial city.
While listening to Li Zhong and Yang Daolin's narration, Zhao Zhi's mind was also thinking about more important things.
For death, Zhao Zhi is not afraid, psychologically has long been prepared, he is now worried not about how long he can live, but after his death, how can the imperial power be inherited smoothly and smoothly, now, the situation of the country, Zhao Zhi knows better than anyone else, the external strength is strong in the middle, the strong military strength on the surface, can not hide the extreme weakness inside, the political forces of the court, originally united, are now completely divided.
