June of the fifth year of Yonghui.

Just the second month after the Wannian Palace mountain torrent broke out.

At that time, Li Zhi and important officials in the court were still dealing with the follow-up at Wannian Palace.

Although Li Zhi did not immediately hold the matter accountable for Wannian Palace, all the officials vaguely realized that His Majesty seemed to be showing an increasingly tough attitude.

At that time, Queen Wang's uncle, Secretariat, made Liu Shi deeply uneasy.

Because the emperor's actions in Wannian Palace, he was responsible for the main responsibility.

In recent years, Li Zhi's momentum of favoring Wu Zhaoyi alone has become increasingly obvious. Not to mention Queen Wang, even Concubine Xiao and other concubines in the palace cannot be compared with Wu Zhaoyi.

In this environment, after talking to Changsun Wuji, Liu Shi made a move to throw a stone to ask for directions.

At that time, in Wannian Palace, Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi, Right Pushe Chu Suiliang, and Zhongshu Ling Liu Shi were all present, and only the left Pushe Yu Zhiling was in charge of government affairs in Chang'an.

All the people present, except Li Zhi himself, were Changsun Wuji's people.

Liu Shi said to Li Zhi: "I am guilty, please resolve the matter."

Li Zhi glanced at him deeply and said meaningfully: "As you wish."

Then Liu Shi was stunned.

He had thought about everything, but never thought that Li Zhi would say that.

The original Li Zhi might have kept him, and even if he didn't, he would be polite.

But this time, Li Zhi said it was as you wish, and it was over?

Liu Shi was completely dizzy and couldn't remember how he got out.

Until, I heard the eunuch's eunuch's order: "Discounted as Minister of Personnel."

It was directly reduced from three provinces to six ministries.

Liu Shi suddenly collapsed on the ground.

He knew that this was a strong signal that his good days were over.

This incident shocked the court.

But, undercurrents are all underwater.

Looking at the water surface, it always seems to be calm.

All the officials in the court still stood behind Changsun Wuji.

Three months passed in a flash.

Until today, the second court meeting returned to Chang'an.

Li Zhi suddenly said: "Why do you teach me?"

This is not playing according to the rules.

Dead silence.

The whole court was silent.

No one dares to speak.

Not even breathing heavily.

All the officials bowed their heads, and there was only one person, looking at the emperor boldly.

Changsun Wuji stood at the head of all officials, fearlessly, and looked straight at Li Zhi on the dragon throne with an almost unrestrained look.

The eyes were silent, but sharp.

It seemed as if under Changsun Wuji's seemingly calm gaze, there was a huge vortex hidden.

But Li Zhi ignored the eyes of President Sun Wuji.

He just looked among the ministers, then raised his voice and said, "When the late emperor was there, he saw officials above the fifth rank discussing state affairs, either making a report in person, or making a report to the lower rank, or returning to the upper ranks and tribunals. He never stopped talking about it today. How could he have nothing to do? "

This sentence reveals strong dissatisfaction.

Everyone could hear that under the emperor's voice, his anger could hardly be suppressed.

Countless eyes quietly turned to Changsun Wuji.

The reason for this is that it started with the last time Liu Shi was removed.

Li Zhi was very dissatisfied and dismissed Liu Shi.

Changsun Wuji did not make any statement in person, but since then all the officials have become puppets.

In the court, an invisible storm was brewing.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent.

Silence is also an attitude.

When Li Zhi wanted to learn from Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to actively accept advice, when Li Zhi wanted to change his past and make a difference, no one responded.

a long time.

Li Zhi waved with disappointment: "Retreat."

For the first time since he ascended the throne, one dynasty will be so quiet.

Countless officials quietly exited the hall by grade.

The harem of Daxing Palace.

"Ah my mother."

** knelt in front of Queen Wang with a cautious look on her face, holding the calligraphy letter in both hands and said, "This is the word that the child practices today."

"Let go."

Queen Wang had no intention of paying attention to him, and just said with a cold face.

**A little afraid and expectant, "My mother, I..."

"I said I'll let you go, can't you hear it?"

**The little face turned pale, and I didn't know what to say for a moment, and tears were surging in my eyes.

"Prince, step back, the queen is feeling a little uncomfortable today."

The palace maids on the side came up quickly and took ** down.

"The queen calms down, and the prince also wants you to see him working hard."

A personal palace maid said, "By the way, Queen, Concubine Xiao Shu came here again today."

"Gift?"

Queen Wang sneered: "What kind of good intentions can this slut have?"

"Yes, the queen said yes."

"Take it over and let me take a look." After some thought, Queen Wang suddenly changed her mind.

The palace maid quickly came up with a lacquer plate.

There were a few pieces of jewelry on the plate, and a doll embroidered with cloth. It had all the facial features and looked quite delicate.

"What does she mean?"

Queen Wang used two fingers to pick it in the paint plate: "She should not be as good as me now, right? What are she giving me these?"

"Maybe I want to please the Queen."

"Please please me?"

"After all, the prince ascended the throne in the future..."

Queen Wang glanced at her: "You are also a talking person."

She pointed to Qipan: "Pick one by yourself."

"Thank you for the reward of the Queen."

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

When I looked up again, I found that there was no smile on Queen Wang's face.

"The only thing I did wrong in my life is that I shouldn't have led Wu Mei into the palace. Who would have thought that she could be favored by His Majesty alone."

When Queen Wang remembered what happened back then, she felt a little self-pitying.

Especially when she thought of her dismissed uncle Liu Shi, she felt a sense of powerlessness for no reason.

"I have been with Your Majesty for so many years, and I have never seen him spoil anyone like this. I..."

"Queen, what are we afraid of with the prince in our hands?"

The palace maid who was rewarded just now said boldly.

"What do you know?"
