He didn¡¯t know if his mother was testing him or if he really asked him to supervise the country, so he hurriedly declined. After a while, he finally realized that his father was about to die. Under such circumstances, his mother only asked him to supervise state affairs. She did not dare to refuse anymore and went out to do things with trepidation. It's just that there is a shadow of the incident two months ago. Being accused by He Lanminzhi of being incompetent made Li Xian feel shadowy. In the following process of supervising the country, he did not dare to keep most things private. When making decisions, he would convene several "Tongdonggong Pingzhangshi" to discuss everything big or small before he dared to make a decision, or he would ask his mother to discuss it. But every time he discussed it with Wu Zetian, he would be scolded, blaming him for not knowing how to deal with things. Let Li Xian not dare to nag Wu Zetian anymore. When convening several "Tongdonggong Pingzhangshi" to discuss matters, they were often ridiculed hotly and coldly by He Lan Minzhi and Li Jingxuan, ridiculing him for his inability to deal with things, which made Li Xian very uncomfortable. But Li Xian¡¯s forbearance ability is still good. In addition to not daring to offend Wu Zetian and taking his mother¡¯s opinions seriously, he can ignore the ridicule of He Lan Minzhi and others and still ask for advice humbly. But Li Xian is young after all, and no matter how cowardly he is, he still has personality. When things went wrong, he was teased by He Lan Minzhi and others, which made him feel very uncomfortable every day. After returning to the palace, he would vent a few words to Wei Shi, which made Wei Shi sigh constantly and feel equally angry. , but there is not much we can do. Li Zhi¡¯s condition worsened day by day, and everything was as Chen Yi expected. Wu Zetian looked worried. She certainly didn't want Li Zhi to die just like this. According to her expectations, Li Zhi could get better for a while, then get worse for a while, and then get better again. That would be the best outcome, leaving the ministers speechless. But Chen Yi told him that Li Zhi was terminally ill and there was no way to extend his life. She was also sad. Of course Chen Yi also knew that the death of Li Zhi at this time would bring a huge shock to the court. No one could predict how the situation would evolve next, but he believed that the more chaotic the situation, the more special it would be for him. Target person. It is even more advantageous, otherwise he would not have started to reduce the effective dose of medicine given to Li Zhi just two months after Li Xian was deprived of the right to participate in court affairs, causing Li Zhi to die long ago. Li Zhirong returned to heaven. In fact, there is not much difference between Li Zhi's life and death in these years. Except for Wu Zetian who hopes that he will survive like this, others either hope that Li Zhi will recover or hope that he will die early. In that case, the affairs of the court would not continue in this state, and a new king could be established early and allowed to govern personally. As a result, it was strange for a woman like Wu Zetian to interfere in the affairs of the court. Li Zhi's condition gradually worsened, and the imperial doctors in the palace took turns to stay by his side, not daring to leave him day and night. Although Chen Yi had told Li Zhi how many days he had left to live, Wu Zetian still held some illusions, hoping to let Li Zhi live a few more days. In this way, her follow-up arrangements can be more complete, so that she will not be able to control the situation after Li Zhi's death. Among the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, Wu Zetian felt that after Li Zhi's death, only Chen Yi and He Lan Minzhi would support her unconditionally, no matter what she did. And whether it's Li Jingxuan or Pei Yan. They all only supported her conditionally. If she did anything against heaven, not only Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, Xue Yuanchao and others would strongly oppose her, but even Li Jingxuan, Pei Yan and others would stand against her. And what she's going to do now. She further sought out people who could support her unconditionally, but Li Zhi's condition changed too suddenly, and Chen Yi had nothing to do. Sun Simiao, who had rarely come to Chang'an, was unwilling to go to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, saying that the emperor's illness was incurable. After the war, Wu Zetian was completely disappointed and could only step up her efforts to network with people who were loyal to her. But under such circumstances, how can she recruit people who are unconditionally loyal to her? Li Zhi was about to die. Not only Wu Zetian was speeding up preparations, but other informed ministers, including Chen Yi, were also preparing for changes in court affairs after Li Zhi's death. In addition to making preparations to keep the Forbidden Army in his own hands, Chen Yi also tried to put his cronies through Wu Zetian's hands into key departments, allowing them to take charge of the main affairs of each department, so as to increase his influence in the government. The right to speak in the hall. In addition to these, he also started his very bold move. This move was achieved through Webster. Li Zhi is about to pass away. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xian will take over the throne of the emperor. If his plan against heaven is not implemented now, then there will never be such a good opportunity again.put into action. For this reason, he took the initiative to make an appointment with Webster, hoping to force Webster to agree to his request through many detailed discussions. It can be said that he wanted to coerce Webster to do so. As long as Xiao was powerful, this woman would agree. On the day when Li Xian had finished his work and went to wait at Li Zhi's bedside, Chen Yi met Wei Shi in a side hall of Tai Chi Palace. When the two met, before Chen Yi had time to salute Wei Shi, Wei Shi saluted and thanked him: "Chen Shangshu, I thank you very much for taking care of the prince during this period. Now the prince acts on behalf of the emperor and empress." In handling state affairs, this must be due to Chen Shangshu's strong advice in front of the Queen. When Chen Shangshu assisted the prince, he gave him a lot of help. The prince and I are very grateful!" "Prince, please don't be so polite. , that is what a minister should do. Your Majesty is getting sicker and sicker, and the Queen has to take care of you. What else can you do if you don¡¯t let the prince supervise the affairs of the country? Haha, as a minister, you can give some advice to the prince when he is unable to resolve matters. It's reasonable!" Chen Yi looked at Webster with a faint smile, did not hide away, and accepted Webster's thank you gift. After Webster got up, he motioned for her to go to another inner room to talk. Webster didn¡¯t have any doubts and followed Chen Yi to the small room that seemed to have a musty smell since he hadn¡¯t been in it for a long time. Today, Chen Yi, together with Pei Xingjian, accompanied Li Xian after the court, excused himself to stay in Taiji Palace, and sent someone to tell Webster where he was waiting. Yesterday, Chen Yi had someone tell Webster that he had something important to say today. Webster, who agreed to Chen Yi's appointment the day before, came here with only one maid today. However, she was a little nervous when she first arrived because this place was too deserted and even a bit cold, and there was no one around. , Webster didn't feel safe at all! However, Webster finally followed Chen Yi into the inner room and faced him alone. After entering the inner room, Chen Yi stood a step away in front of Webster: he looked up and down at the slightly trembling Webster, and jokingly said: "Princess, you have said it many times before, you want to thank me." , I just don¡¯t know how the Crown Princess wants to thank me!¡± He just met Wei Shi today, and he had the idea of ??teasing her, so he said the playful words inadvertently! ¡°Ah?! This¡± I didn¡¯t expect to meet today, Chen Yi was the first to say this, which surprised the unprepared Webster. She didn't know how to answer for a while. After seeing Chen Yi's eyes looking up and down, her face suddenly turned red. She could tell from Chen Yi She understood something special in what she just said and in the eyes that looked her up and down. Chen Yi also understood some of her implicit expressions before, but the firm temper she had developed over the years made her not run away, but bite her. Standing in front of Chen Yi with her lips pursed, she suppressed the shame in her heart and raised her red face to look at Chen Yi: "I wonder how Chen Shangshu wants me to thank you?" Thanking me so much is just a prevarication. I never thought about how to really thank me. It¡¯s really disappointing!" Chen Yi laughed twice as he said this and bowed his hands, "I misunderstood the Crown Princess. Sincerely, just pretend that you have never said these things before, and let¡¯s not talk about today¡¯s matters. I will take my leave!¡± ¡°Hey, Chen Shangshu, don¡¯t leave!¡± Seeing Chen Yi wanting to leave, Wei Shi He couldn't help being anxious, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull Chen Yi's sleeve. When Chen Yi stopped, he lowered his head and said softly: "Chen Shangshu, I know that you are not greedy for money. I am now There is no way to give you power. Originally, I wanted the prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and begged the prince to give you a promotion. But now the queen has promoted you to an official position and placed you in the political hall. Even if the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the concubine will not be there. Thank you for this! I really want to ask Chen Shangshu today, how do you want me to thank you? As long as Chen Shangshu asks, I will definitely agree if I can do it!" Chen Yi smiled. Looking at Webster, he said in a joking tone: "What if you think you can't do it?" "Huh?!" Webster exhaled softly, his pretty face turned even redder, and with a very light expression The voice asked: "What is Chen Shangshu referring to?" Looking at the blushing and cute Wei Shi in front of him, Chen Yi suddenly became flirtatious and ignored the person in front of him. She was the Crown Princess, who might become the Empress of the Tang Dynasty in a few days. She reached out to grab Wei Shi's sleeve and pulled it gently. With a cry of surprise, Wei Shi fell into Chen Yi's arms, and the two of them had a knot. A solid hug. It was already the early summer when the weather was slightly hot. Both of them were wearing thin clothes. Their bodies were close to each other, and the heat of their skins could be felt by each other. Wei Shi suddenly threw himself into Chen Yi's arms, and his plump breasts just pressed against Chen Yi's. A strange feeling immediately arose in Yi's chest and within the two of them. Because in the previous contacts with Chen Yi, Webster expressed some special meanings intentionally or unintentionally. Today, when he was alone with Chen Yi, after a few words, Chen YiAfter holding her in his arms so actively, she quickly calmed down after the initial shock and did not struggle to leave. Instead, she just leaned into Chen Yi's arms and made no movement, although her heartbeat was very strong and her face was It is also red and can bleed. I am prepared in my heart. I have had such a plan and I have not had such an idea. When I encounter a very strange thing, my reaction is completely different. At this time, Webster is a little indulgent of her own plan. She has already guessed what Chen Chen will do today. The purpose of Yi's invitation to her was to thank her. If she expressed her gratitude, Chen Yi would continue to help her and Li Xian. It¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t know whether Chen Yi will ask her for thanks here today! (To be continued.)
