Li Ze stepped into the emperor's bedroom with steady steps.

Although the sun was shining outside, the dormitory was covered by curtains, the windows were closed, and it couldn't help but look gloomy, and the strong smell of medicine in the air could not be removed.

Li Ze frowned and stopped. As soon as he stopped, the large number of officials who followed him naturally stopped. waved at an old eunuch, the old eunuch's body trembled, and then trotted in front of Li Ze, bowed down and said, "I don't know what the master commands?" ”

"Why don't you open the windows to let the room breathe? Your Majesty has been staying in this house all the time, and has not gone out to bask in the sun or anything? ”

"The mother ordered, saying that Your Majesty is in poor health, and I am afraid that a cool breeze will blow. So......" the old eunuch muttered and couldn't go on.

Li Ze snorted: "In this way, you didn't follow the doctor's instructions and messed around." How comfortable is it to lock up Your Majesty in such a room? How can the body recover as quickly as possible? Go, pull the curtains, open the windows, change the air, and let the sun shine in. ”

"Yes!" The old eunuch answered, turned around and left, and in a moment, several eunuchs and palace maids were busy, Li Ze stood upright, until the whole room was bright, and then continued to walk inside.

The officials behind Li Ze had different expressions.

Arrogant and domineering, as far as Si.

Although the old eunuch's voice was small, everyone heard it clearly, regardless of whether the queen's move was wrong or wrong, but this was the mother's order after all. But Li Ze directly and rudely judged the queen's demeanor, which made everyone gasp.

Li Ze naturally didn't have to take care of the new queen who had just taken office.

Because this new queen is also the daughter of the Zheng family, and she is the sister-in-law of the previous queen.

The death of the previous queen, no matter how clever the official cover-up, but those who know the inside story will still know. Without Li Ze's persecution, how could the queen commit suicide?

The blood feud with the Zheng family has long been concluded and is insoluble.

The Zheng family naturally hated Li Ze to the bone.

However, Li Ze didn't take them seriously at all.

A person who eats and drinks Lazar has to rely on his own family, and he can make it disappear with a flick of his fingers, thinking that letting a woman become a queen again can make the situation better?

Oh, I'm about to become the Queen Mother.

Li Ze flattened his mouth.

I have long informed that today Li Ze will bring the important ministers of various ministries to come to worship and discuss matters, so the emperor is no longer lying on the bed today, but leaning on a pile of bedding, barely supporting his upper body obliquely, in his crooked mouth, there is a constant flow of saliva coming out, and a young woman dressed as an empress kneeling beside the emperor, gently wiping the emperor's mouth with the handkerchief in her hand from time to time.

Seeing Li Ze come in, the woman turned her head and glanced at Li Ze, even though it was a glimpse, the hatred in her eyes still lingered.

Li Ze smiled and looked at each other calmly.

The queen quickly turned her head and lowered her eyelids.

The emperor on the bed, when he saw Li Ze coming in, his eyes lit up at first, but then, it quickly dimmed.

"Minister Li Ze, I've seen Your Majesty!" Li Ze walked to the bed and bowed.

Behind him, the ministers of the various ministries also bowed down in unison to say goodbye.

The emperor's eyes were rolling, and it could be seen that he must be extremely excited in his heart at this moment, after all, a court meeting like this had not been held for a long time.

After the ceremony, the queen on the bed said softly: "Prime Minister Li, please sit down, all ministers, please sit down too." ”

Li Ze arched his hand and immediately sat down on a brocade stool closest to the bed.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to congratulate you first." Clearing his throat, Li Ze said: "Now that the northeast has been decided, Zhang Zhongwu is entrenched in the northeast, and it is difficult to exterminate it for a while, but he and our army have been defeated in several battles, so the above table is begging." At the same time, he asked the court to confer the position of the king of the county, and the minister thought it was feasible. The northeast is remote and desolate, let him go first, and if there is any disobedience in the future, the minister should raise a large army to exterminate it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The northwest land has now been pacified, Tubo and our army fought in Ansui, our army annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and Tocharo fled in embarrassment. It's just that in this battle, Ansui Jiedu made Du Youcai's father and son both loyal to the country, and died on the battlefield, and the minister also wanted to ask His Majesty to entitle Du Youcai County on the throne and Du Liang's marquis. ”

The emperor was naturally speechless, but he could still see endless joy in his eyes.

The Northeast rebels surrendered, and the biggest enemy of Datang in the Northwest was no longer able to intrude on Datang, and for a while, the situation in Datang was unprecedentedly better.

The joy faded, the emperor's eyes were filled with tears, looking at the emperor with tears rolling down, Li Ze's heart trembled slightly. Behind him, Tian Lingzi, Han Qi, Xue Ping and others were even more choked.

The good situation, but the glory, will not be gathered on the emperor. If he could still get up, he must have made a great sacrifice to comfort the spirits of his ancestors, but now, he can only lie on the bed like a living dead.

"Your Majesty, these two things still need your permission. If you agree, your eyes will turn twice, and if you don't, you won't move. Li Ze looked at the emperor on the bed and said.

The empress wiped away the tears from the emperor's eyes, looked at Li Ze, and the emperor's eyes rolled twice.

Li Ze immediately turned around and said to Cao Xin: "Your Majesty has given permission, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will turn back to preside over this matter, Mrs. Du and Du Liang's widow are now in Zhenzhou, this matter must be handled in a big way, and everyone must know that those who are loyal to the country will never be treated badly by the imperial court." ”

"Yes!" Cao Xin stood up and bowed.

"Over there in the Northeast, you want to send someone with weight, I don't know who you think is appropriate?" Li Ze asked again.

"The next official is willing to go!" Wang Duo rose in response.

Li Ze laughed: "The left servant is willing to go, but it has given Zhang Zhongwu enough face." It's just that I went to Liaozhou, I'm afraid it will take half a year to come and go, and when I come back, I'm afraid that it's already cold, and the left servant can still hold up the body? ”

"No problem." Wang Duo said.

Li Ze turned around with a smile and said to the emperor: "Can Your Majesty approve such an arrangement?" ”

The Emperor's eyes rolled twice.

"Your Majesty, next, the minister will reorganize the army to the south." Li Ze said excitedly: "At present, although the Zhu thief occupies Chang'an and Luoyang, he is in a difficult situation, and a big war with Zhujie Town in the south is inevitable, so the minister thinks that it is the best time for the southern expedition, or it will not be long before we can recover Chang'an and Luoyang." ”

The Emperor's mouth fluttered, trying to say something, but in the end he only made some incomprehensible ahhhhh

Li Ze's expression darkened a little, and said, "Taichangqing, you can talk to Your Majesty!" ”

Tian Lingzi walked to the bed with a sad expression, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, your body, the imperial doctors have done their best, we even invited Weng Ming from Zhang Zhongwu to diagnose and treat together with Jin Shaoqing and others, but the final result is still powerless, and it is the best result to be able to maintain the current situation." ”

The emperor's eyes flashed with anger, resentment, and a hint of fear.

Who doesn't want to have a day of recovery? But Tian Lingzi's words were tantamount to pronouncing his death sentence. If this was Li Ze's words, the emperor might still have a little fantasy, but from Tian Lingzi, the most loyal courtier, the emperor would basically die.

The queen sobbed softly.

"Your Majesty, so there is a discussion in the court, and I want to ask Your Majesty for consent." Li Ze stood up and said, "Your Majesty can't look at things, but the country can't be left without an owner for a day." Although the crown prince is young, he is gifted and intelligent, and the ministers ask His Majesty to abdicate, and the crown prince ascends the throne and respects His Majesty as the emperor. ”

Li Ze bent down, lifted his robe, and knelt down.

Behind him, all the ministers also knelt down in unison.

"Please abdicate Your Majesty and the crown prince ascends the throne!" The voices of the ministers were unanimous.

The Emperor's eyes were fixed on the courtiers below. Except for Li Ze, everyone's eyes lowered and looked down at the bluestone slab on the ground.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ze finally saw the emperor's eyes turn twice, and then slowly closed.

Li Ze stood up, turned his head to look at everyone, and said, "Your Majesty agreed." His Majesty abdicated, and the crown prince ascended the throne! ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" In the dormitory, everyone shouted long live.

The news of His Majesty's abdication of the crown prince and his ascension to the throne quickly spread all over the world.

The world shook.

Once all the forces thought that Li Ze would inevitably take advantage of the emperor's serious illness and the young age of the crown prince to seize the throne, but the truth was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, even so, Li Ze's status has not been shaken at all.

The first holy decree after the crown prince ascended the throne was to directly promote Li Ze as the prince and control the government until the prince was in power.

In the Li Tang Dynasty, the county king often gave the title to the meritorious minister, but the prince could not be awarded if he was not a descendant of the Li Tang clan, Li Ze, and finally made an exception, becoming the first person to be crowned a prince without royal blood since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial palace in Zhenzhou has become the place where the emperor is recuperating, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will move to Wuyi, and Wuyi will build a new palace for the new emperor. After moving to Wuyi, the new emperor's main task is still to study, of course, there is one more thing, that is, to watch politics.

The reason for this is because Li Ze is in Wuyi, and all the yamen of the ministers of various ministries and courts are also in Wuyi.

Xue Ping and Han Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, they never thought that this matter would go so smoothly.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the southern festivals also sent congratulatory gifts through various channels, showing their loyalty in face.

"That's enough!" Li Ze looked at the congratulatory watches sent by the southern parts of the country in front of him, and said with a smile: "With these allegiances on the surface, we can give them the will of the imperial court in a righteous and bright manner." ”
