Rumors soon spread in the capital city of Chang'an. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty problems have been frequent, first the riots in Shuzhong, and now the smallpox is raging, they feel that all this is related to Li Zhi, if he did not ascend the throne before the first emperor was buried, if it was not for him and the martial arts people, how could it cause the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and bring disasters to the world?

The people were holding their breath and were angry, as soon as this rumor came out, everyone really pointed the finger at Li Zhi.

They accused Li Zhi of not being a good emperor, so that the originally prosperous and powerful Tang Dynasty is now in turmoil.

The ministers of the court and the central government put the main target on Wu Meiniang, and they asked Li Zhi to drive Wu Meiniang out of the palace.

It happened suddenly, Li Zhi couldn't react for a while, Datang, is it really as rumored to be stormy?

Since he ascended the throne, he has been very diligent, even more diligent than his father, in order to build the Tang Dynasty better, but why does things always backfire?

Resentment, resentment.

Li Zhi was about to be driven crazy, facing the pointing of the ministers, Li Zhi couldn't be perfunctory anymore, what could he do, could he ignore the entire Tang Dynasty for the sake of a Wu Meiniang?

After retiring from the dynasty that day, he and Wu Meiniang had one last madness.

After the madness, Li Zhi was silent, but Wu Meiniang saw his thoughts and said, "The saint wants to drive Meiniang away?" ”

Li Zhi glanced up at Wu Meiniang, then lowered his head again, and after a long time, he said, "I'm sorry for you, I ...... I'm under too much pressure. ”

Wu Meiniang was not angry, not even sad, she just suddenly hugged Li Zhi into her arms, like a mother hugged Li Zhi into her arms, after a long time, she finally said: "I understand the suffering of the saint, I only hate that I am a woman, I can't share the worries for the saint, if my departure can make the saint more energetic to deal with the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to leave, if the love between the two is long, how can it be in the twilight of the dynasty, this poem written by the little marquis back then, I want to give it to the two of us now, I am willing to leave." ”

Wu Meiniang knows very well that it is inappropriate for her to continue to stay in the palace now, that will only make things worse, if Datang is not Datang, what if she gets Li Zhi?

At this time, she should retreat and let Li Zhi always remember her.

As long as she doesn't die, she will have a chance sooner or later.

And after listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Li Zhi felt more and more that Wu Meiniang was empathetic and couldn't love him, and secretly swore in his heart that after these things were over, he would definitely find a way to bring Wu Meiniang to his side again.

Not long after the two finished saying this, Li Zhi ordered Wu Meiniang to be a monk in Ganye Temple.

Wu Meiniang left the palace, although she was reluctant, but she had to do it.

It's just that after Wu Meiniang left, those princes didn't stop there, they still spread rumors, accusing Li Zhi of having something to do with everything that happened now, and he didn't deserve to be a good emperor at all.

It's just that these princes made remarks again, but the ministers in the court didn't buy it.

At the beginning, the purpose of these ministers was just to drive Wu Meiniang out of the palace and save the reputation of the royal family, but now that the goal has been achieved, what they have to do next is to maintain the dignity of the Tang Emperor, and they will not allow anyone to damage the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.

This morning, Li Zhi looked a little haggard, he sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how has the matter of smallpox in Anning County been handled?" ”

"The words of the saint have been curbed for the time being, but if we can't think of a complete solution, I'm afraid that there will be people who will continue to be infected with smallpox and die, and then I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up."

"Besides, the people of Anning County are very irritable now, and if this continues, I am afraid that unexpected disasters will occur."

The people are generally very peaceful, but if there is a danger to their lives, they will also take up arms to resist, especially these people in Guanzhong, they are born with the spirit of resistance, which has been the case since the Qin Dynasty.

After the ministers said this, Li Zhi naturally knew that the matter was serious, so he asked, "In the face of this situation, what can you do?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji stood up and said, "Holy Lord, Old Doctor Sun and Lin Qingsu have rushed to Anning County, they will find a way to deal with smallpox, we should have confidence in them." ”

At this time, another official stood up and said, "Holy Lord, there is no cure for smallpox at all, and whether or not you can survive depends on luck, so the minister thinks that in order to prevent smallpox from spreading again, we should dispose of all the patients suffering from smallpox, and then cremate them and bury them deeply, so that the problem can be solved." ”

After the official finished speaking, Li Zhi's brows condensed slightly, and he said, "You mean to kill those who are sick, how can this work, it's too cruel." ”

"Holy Lord, when the judgment continues to suffer from chaos, for the safety of more people, for the stability of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, this move is imperative."

In the face of smallpox, a terrible disease, no one was confident that they would be spared, so after the official's words came out, even those who were usually very benevolent stood up to express their support.

Sacrificing some people can save more people, so why not do this kind of thing?

There are more and more people supporting, Li Zhi's voice is very fragile, he glanced at Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, and finally stood up and said: "Shengshang, the ministers also approve, only in this way can smallpox be completely exterminated, and more people in my Tang Dynasty can survive." ”

Even the eldest grandson Wuji supports it, and others will not oppose it.

But there are still people who object, Ma Zhou objected, after he stood up, he said: "Holy Lord, this move must not be, even if they are infected with smallpox, they are also my Tang people, it is not a crime to be infected with smallpox, why should we slaughter them?" ”

"Master Ma, we are thinking about more people, do you know?"

"That is, do you want to see that the entire Chang'an City is also infected with smallpox, and at that time we will have more people to die, and we will be more helpless."

The ministers quarreled endlessly, Li Zhi's head hurt a little, and the people accused him of not being the emperor properly, and now that there is such a quarrel in the court, he really doesn't know what to do.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Tang Zhou, if only Tang Zhou was here, as long as he was there, this kind of thing would definitely be solved, but unfortunately he went out to Shuzhong, alas, Datang is really a disaster.

The ministers of the court quarreled for a long time, and after a long time, Li Zhi suddenly snorted, and the whole hall quieted down, Li Zhi said: "The outbreak of smallpox in the Tang Dynasty is my sin, and I am ashamed of the people. ”

Less than a month after ascending the throne, he suddenly issued an edict against himself, which is something that many emperors have never encountered, and the ministers looked at each other, looking slightly shocked, and then they all knelt on the ground: "Please think twice." ”
