The court was the most important political activity of officials in Beijing in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the system regulations, there were three different times and forms of the Tang Dynasty. One was the grand ceremony held on the New Year and the Winter Solstice. It was the most solemn and needed "big decorations", namely, the exhibition palace hangs and drums, and the chariots and chariots.

At that time, the emperor "put his robe and crown, and the imperial carriage was out, and the police guards were as usual."

Receive the ministers and envoys to the court to congratulate.

The most participants in the court meeting were among the princes and relatives, civil and military officers above the Jiu rank in Beijing, local commemorations, Duke Jiedu, Duke Jiedu, descendants of Zhou and Sui Dynasty, and envoys from foreign countries. After the congratulations, there was a banquet.

At the same time, the winter dynasty meetings are all in the Tai Chi Hall of Daxing Palace.

Daxing Palace is the palace city of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and is collectively known as the three major inner palaces, along with the Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.

This palace is located in the north of the central axis of Chang'an City. It was built in the second year of Kaihuang in Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. It was called Daxing Palace in the Sui Dynasty. It was renamed Tai Chi Palace after the first year of Jingyun of Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty.

...

On the third year of Yonghui, on the eve of the winter solstice.

Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty stood in the Tai Chi Hall of Daxing Palace in a crown.

The civil and military officials standing below him were all ranked as talented, and they were all important officials of the Tang Dynasty.

This time, it is a preview of the upcoming Winter Solstice Festival.

The Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Secretary of the Left and Right Pushe, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the General Staff of the Right Sanqi, the Official of the Right Advisor, the Official of the Right Repair, the Living House, the House of Jixian Hall and the History Museum,

The deputy chief officer is the minister of the subordinate minister, the minister of the subordinate minister, the left cavalry attendant, the left counselor, the left supplementary court, the left picker, the left picker, the city gate, the Fu Baolang, and the Hongwenguan,

All officials from six ministries were present.

This formation was much beyond Li Zhi's expectations. His face changed slightly, and he felt something in his heart.

Before Li Zhi could shout "All the ministers were exempted from courtesy" as pre-arranged. Among the ministers, the Minister of State's Right Pushe, the official Chu Suiliang stood up and bowed to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial."

"Chu Aiqing was also an old minister during the reign of Emperor Taizong. I was very clear about it..."

Li Zhi responded in a false voice and quickly thought about the other party's intentions.

At the same time, he spoke: "Come, don't be standing there. All the officials of the court are my strongholds. Give them a seat to all your beloved ministers."

With Li Zhi's voice, the eunuch who was accompanying him had already gone to move the stool.

But Chu Suiliang seemed to be unhappy and said with his fists: "Your Majesty, although I am old, I dare not say that I have worked hard for the country. Now there is a major event that I must report to Your Majesty."

"Chu Aiqing, don't worry, sit down first, and then talk about it."

Although Li Zhi smiled, his smile was already a little reluctant.

He glanced over at a glance. Although there were many court officials at the scene, his expressions and eyes clearly knew what he had.

Yes, it must be for that case.

Li Zhi was so clear in his heart, but he was thinking hard and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Chu Suiliang looked at Changsun Wuji, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, his thoughts were even more firm.

He stepped forward, used all the energy from his dantian, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have seized the major case of Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai's rebellion. The evidence in this case is conclusive. How to make it happen? Please ask Your Majesty to decide."

Following Chu Suiliang's words, officials from all three provinces and six ministries standing behind him all stepped out and bowed to Li Zhi.

"My me, please decide."

The echoes rolled in the wide Tai Chi Hall.

Everyone stopped shouting that, but the lingering sound was still like thunder, and it kept roaring in Li Zhi's ears.

The young emperor's face turned pale and seemed to be a little scared. He took a step back slightly, staggered and reached out to hold the armrest of the imperial chair beside him, so that he could maintain his balance and not lose his composure.

"Why...why is this?"

Li Zhi raised his hand and wanted to say something.

His eyes flew past, facing Changsun Wuji, who was standing among the court officials, watching coldly.

Changsun Wuji's eyes were as cold as a knife.

This made him wake up and remember what Changsun Wuji said to him a few days ago.

For a moment, Li Zhi almost screamed out as if he had been hit by some pain point.

Uncle, it’s you, it must be you!

Why do you force me?

Li Yuanjing, Fang Yiai, Li Daozong, and Gao Yang, what crime is it?

Do they really deserve to die?

Can't you just open your own side and save their lives?

"cannot!"

Changsun Wuji's eyes were like cold knifes, ruthlessly piercing into Li Zhi's softest heart.

"Because I am your uncle, I must teach you to be a qualified king.

Put away your useless childlike attitude,

You are the emperor,

You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

You have thousands of people who rely on you.

In front of you, there is the light of Taizong,

There are countless royal families, important officials, and generals around you.

There are countless ambitious people in places you cannot see.

They are eyeing each other,

Wait for you to reveal your flaws.

You can only show your emperor's side, your ruthless side, your iron fist side,

With the power of thunder, we will wipe out all enemies.

Used to shock the sky.

In this way, your throne will be stable.

Only when the Tang Dynasty's regime was stable.

You also have to inherit Taizong's will.

Sweeping the eight wildernesses,

Let the Tang Dynasty stand on the top of the mountain forever."

"But... But last time I was attacked, Fang Yiai saved me from his life. Li Yuanjing is my uncle and Gao Yang is my favorite sister. If you call me, how can I attack them? What do you think of other royal families in the Tang Dynasty?"

"This is why I say you are weak. If you truly recognize your identity as an emperor from the bottom of your heart,

I would never ask such a naive question.

How could the Tian family have any personal love?

When faced with all problems, you just need to consider whether this is beneficial to your power or not?

This is what you should do!”

"I don't! If I want to be a cold-blooded person, or a butcher who raises a knife and waves it at his relatives, what's the use of being this emperor?"

Bang!

"You are so confused! If it was Li Tai and Li Ke who were sitting on the throne today, could you still live? Can you still live? Ah!"

Li Zhi's body was shocked and he woke up from his memories.

All the blood on his face faded away.

Standing there fiercely under countless pairs of eyes, trying hard to maintain the emperor's dignity.

He knew that he must not be weak.

Not only represents oneself, but also represents Taizong.

How can you show your timidity in front of these people?

Finger tightly clamps the handrail.

Finally, he took a long breath, and the Tai Chi Hall where the air almost solidified and the cold penetrated into the bone marrow, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang: "Two beloved friends come with me, everyone else will be dispersed."

The emperor set up a carriage, and the group came to Lingyan Pavilion in a vast way.

This is what Li Zhi means,

In response to this, Changsun Wuji gently stroked his long beard and did not say a word.

My nephew is a little weaker, but let him make more decisions.

No one is born to be an emperor.
