    When we arrived at the inner palace, the sky was already gray.

    Along the way, the maids and eunuchs saluted one by one. Some of them had a look of shock on their faces. They were afraid that after Wu Zetian lost power, she would be furious and kill people indiscriminately in the inner palace.  Li Wei was not comforted either.  Seeing Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian said displeasedly: "Why are you here?"

    ¡°I¡¯ve killed a few people, and you¡¯re here right away. What¡¯s your intention?¡±  Li Huiyuangui thought to himself, why can't he come? Although they are just a few slaves, they are not ordinary slaves.  But it also depends on His Majesty's wishes. He probably wanted to make this matter a big deal, but it turned into a trivial matter.  Standing nearby, Li Wei sat down and said: "Mother, many things have happened in the past few years, including my sons and ministers, and they have not done well. It is possible that history books can compare it with the Xuanwu Gate incident."

    First, in the case of Ming Chongyan, Li Zhi and his wife were more or less coerced into giving him back his political rights.  Without this opportunity, Guan Jian would not be able to take a step forward, and it may not be known who will win in the future.

    Second, they used Pei Xingjian and the Meulu family's plan to send people outside to threaten that I was the one who fled from Yangtong to Tianze and escaped from Tianze.  It can also explain the reason for his disappearance for more than a year.  That is a cover-up, and even smart people will know that it is false.  No matter how you put it, they used disgraceful means and even killed many people. It was not a good thing to find a way to reduce Wu Zetian's power and weaken Wu Zetian's power.

    Wu Zetian snorted back and said nothing.

    "No matter who is right or wrong, the matter is in the past. If it continues, the clan will be gone. The late emperor's edict I have never thought about pursuing it."

    Some people in the inner palace were afraid, but Wu Zetian did not kill people randomly.  Pei Yan tampered with the imperial edict and died. It was not that there was no evidence. There were several other people around Li Zhi. At that time, there were several serving eunuchs and palace concubines. By comparing them, the truth could be found out. But Li Wei thought about it carefully and gave up.  Got this idea.  Things happened very quickly at that time. First, his father ordered Liu Jingxian to be careful. He didn't ask the truth yet, but he also guessed that he wanted to ask Minister Tuogu.  Liu Jingxian didn't know how he persuaded his father to follow Pei Yan to the Jin Dynasty. When the imperial edict came out, his father died.  But during this process, my mother was never with my father.

    It took a lot of trouble to find out the truth. My mother can also say that it was the Minister's confusion and had nothing to do with me.  The facts are already saying that.

    On the contrary, many things happened out of thin air, and I was suspected of abusing my mother's evil.  It is better to discuss the matter as it is and to simplify things by beheading some ministers, relatives and internal servants from the perspective of the country.  He can also sell his mother a favor.

    ??????????? Wu Zetian probably knew his intention, so she sat there and still didn¡¯t say a word.

    Li Wei added: "The return of the sons and ministers went very smoothly, mostly due to the mother's contribution. However, some ministers played the country into their own hands for their own rights, and some were even more daring, including relatives and internal servants.  For example, Wu Chengsi was just a minor relative and not an elder, but he actually presided over the important event of establishing the crown prince twice. Another example was that he and Wu Sansi deceived the queen to establish seven temples and asked her to deal with the clan. However, the queen, her sons and ministers will  Try to minimize the impact."

    This is another promise. In fact, Li Huiyuangui cannot get involved before bringing Li Huiyuangui, but he is the highest generation in the Li family's closest relatives and has the right to witness.

    With the overall situation settled, Li Wei wanted to do something good.

    "There are many talented people among my relatives" Wu Zetian finally spoke.

    "I also know that some relatives still remain loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and they will continue to retain their original official positions."

    "Well, it's up to you."

    The two finally broke the ice and started haggling in a vague way.

    "There is one more thing that I would like to say. I am in my prime, and I want to do something good, contribute to our court, and lay a good foundation for my descendants. However, my energy is limited, and several princes have  They need someone to take care of them. The concubines in the East Palace are not as talented as they are. In the near future, I will return to Xijing. I hope that my mother will teach them in the Daming Palace. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany my mother often in the future.  I'm afraid we have to wait until the princes grow up before they can accompany their mother and empress with peace of mind and fulfill their duties as sons of men." This is a nice way of saying it, but it's a bad way of saying it. You are starting to teach your grandson, but it's not just about chopping, it's possible  I will do some isolation so that you can retire with peace of mind.  Even teaching Yuzi is an excuse.

    But it is not pure isolation. There will be some space for activities, not real confinement. When will I feel relieved? My son will grow up and you will kill me. I have been away from current affairs for a long time and the new harem is growing.  , my son has grown up, and no matter what happens, it will not be your turn to preside over the country's affairs again. At that time, let's reunite as a family.  There is no way you have the ability to kill me and all my sons.

    When the time comes, I will also give you the rights and enjoyment that the old lady deserves, but in the next few years,Don¡¯t worry, just feel aggrieved first.

    Wu Zetian thought for a long time, with a flash of rage in her eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "I rely on you!"

    "Finally, I would like to say one thing. I owe it to Father Cheng to leave a legacy. Many maids and servants in the inner palace have been living in the deep palace for many years without being allowed to see their families. This is the most cruel thing in the world.  . Therefore, I selected a group of young and capable women from good families from Qinghai and other prefectures and counties to come to the Western Capital and Eastern Capital for replacement. The elders can stay for five years and return home, and the younger ones can stay for ten years. This is also a sign of benevolence.  Therefore, in the inner palace, all the chamberlains and ladies-in-waiting must stay and be screened one by one. Along the way, including the sons and ministers, they do not want to bring too many ladies-in-law and chamberlains with them, and I hope the mother will be considerate. But if the queen mother is  If you have considerate slaves, you can take a few less with you."

    ?Another obscure condition.

    Using the women selected from Qinghai can ensure the loyalty of the inner palace and will not be completely controlled by Wu Zetian again.  As for the repatriation of the palace maids, it is true, but if they stay, they will deal with a group of internal servants.

    Gong E weakened Wu Zetian's control over the inner palace, but Li Wei softened his tone this time allowing Wu Zetian to choose a group of slaves to take away.  But the prerequisite is not to bring too much.

    "Youokay, I will follow you."

    We had no choice but to hear that Cheng and Zhang had been captured, and that the troops outside the Pass had gradually grown from more than 400,000 to nearly 500,000. We knew that the situation was over.  Even if he stops his son from sending an army of 500,000 to Yanmen Pass, who would dare to move?  It is better to take some active cooperation to prevent this insidious son from taking more drastic measures against himself, such as complete confinement or inexplicable death.  The latter is not impossible.

    "In the past few years, my mother's father has passed away, a lot of things have happened, and the country is also in some chaos. Let's just endure it for a while. In a few years, our children will not let our mother down. The emperor's uncle is here to prove it.  "

    "I understand, please go down."

    "Here."

    Li Wei and Li Huiyuangui came out. Chief Li Huiyuangui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, this is the best way to deal with it."

    It must be dealt with, it can¡¯t be what Su Wenwei thinks.

    But the Queen Mother is still unwilling to give in, and it will be very troublesome.  That would force the emperor to be forced into confinement or die inexplicably.  No matter what happened, it was the mother who would become another scandal in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

    It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Huiyuangui also vaguely felt that if the emperor had not appeared, even the lives of princes like them would be in danger if they continued to develop in the future.  The Queen Mother is a man-eating tiger, so she needs to take some precautions.

    Li Wei remained silent.

    There was no joy in my heart, and I walked out of the inner palace with a dark face. It was completely dark.

    ??Suddenly said: "Uncle Emperor, please accompany Lian to the Political Affairs Hall."

    I heard a news in the East Palace that Qiu Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong actually took the quilt to the political affairs hall because of the backlog of affairs, and slept in the political affairs hall to work.

    "Here."

    The two came to the political hall and saw many candles lit and many people inside.  Li Wei walked in and saw that not only Qiu Renjie was working at the desk, but also Wei Yuanzhong, Wei Zhigu, Zhu Jingze and others, including Su Weili, Wang Dezhen and others.

    "you¡­¡­?"

    Zhu Jingze replied: "Your Majesty, we saw that there was too much backlog of government affairs. Mr. Qiu and Mr. Wei were handling government affairs overnight. We also moved in and wanted to help."

    Li Wei became cheerful and shouted to the guards: "Go, go to the east palace dining room, give instructions to the couplet, and ask the queen to take out a box of snow ginseng that was sent as a tribute from Silla in the east palace, and have the dining room stew a few old hens and bring it to  Come to the political hall."

    "Your Majesty, no, the food in the political hall is already very rich, we can't spend any more." Wei Zhigu said.

    "That's what you deserve. But my dear friends, although government affairs are important, your body is more important. The purpose of joining forces is not something you can accomplish overnight. I also want to work with you to build a prosperous Tang Dynasty in the next few decades."

    "Your Majesty, I regret it very much" Wang Dezhen, who was indifferent to taste, bowed down at the same time.

    The food in Zhengshitang was indeed very good. This was the preferential treatment given by the Tang Dynasty to important ministers. However, the food given by the emperor, and even the snow ginseng paid tribute by the Silla people, was of a different nature.  You must know that there are not many good things in the East Palace now.  They are all in the inner palace of the Queen Mother.

    The two of you may be touched, but they may have other intentions. They take the opportunity to express that I will be loyal to you from now on.

    After finishing speaking, Wang Dezhen still glanced at Li Wei.

    Without showing any expression, he said: "Get up, dear ladies, you are all so busy. The Lian is just here. Let's handle government affairs together."

    Sit down, of course, if??If the emperor sits in the political hall every day, the speed of office work will be accelerated several times, but this is impossible.  Even Li Wei couldn't do it.  The etiquette system is also inconsistent. After all, it is necessary to show the order of dignity and inferiority.  But it¡¯s not an exaggeration to do it occasionally.  Just waiting for the ginseng chicken soup.

    The biggest advantage of years of hardship is that Li Wei has accumulated a lot of experience and has assisted in handling government affairs many times, so his ability is still acceptable.  With united efforts, the backlog of memorials quickly disappeared, but compared to the even greater backlog of memorials, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

    Several prime ministers were very excited, especially Qiu Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, who worked desperately for him.  Since ancient times, has any emperor dared to shout something unintentional?  Once the answer is revealed, I don¡¯t know how many people will be moved!

    At the second watch, the soup was served.

    Li Wei said: "Everyone, let's eat."

    After finishing eating, he said again: "Everyone, take a rest. This is Lian's edict."

    We can no longer work hard. If we work hard like this every day, everyone will lose ten years of their life.

    He let them rest again and watched the eunuch blow out the lights before leaving.  However, not long after walking, I found that the lights of the Political Hall were on again.

    "This group of people" Li Wei was about to go back, but Li Huiyuangui grabbed him and said, "How can you let them sleep if this bowl of chicken soup is put under their shoes?"

    The emperor definitely didn¡¯t use any scheming, but he secretly used Yihe¡¯s scheming, just like Wu Qi sucked the pus for the soldiers, so the soldiers went to the battlefield and fought risklessly one by one.  Even if this is done deliberately, the subordinate would not want to meet such a boss?

    Li Huiyuangui sighed in his heart, and the signs of peace showed that a good era was really coming.

    Because of Song Jin's unintentional act, the departure was delayed for half a month, but with the hard work of various prime ministers and ministers, more than half of the backlog of official affairs was actually dealt with, and the government orders quickly became smoother.

    But it¡¯s time to set off.

    Many ministers have forgotten the pain.

    However, big things started happening right from the start
