Crown Tang emperor

Hearing this, Xue Ji pondered for a moment before saying: "Since the Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for envoys to serve as middle officials..."

"But I remember that during Taizong and Emperor Taizong's reign, middle officials often went in and out, and even sent orders to all sides."

Unwilling to give up, Li Dan continued.

Xue Ji smiled wryly after hearing the words, you also know that it is Taizong and the emperor, of course he dare not express this idea directly.The emperor may just say it casually, if it is really discussed in the political affairs hall, someone will naturally hate him.

Seeing that Xue Ji didn't make a clear statement, Li Dan was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "The victory in Longbian is originally a great joy for the community. When I first heard this, I was worried. I don't know if my virtue is not worthy of enjoying this, or the court can't use it." others……"

Hearing what the emperor said, Xue Ji was flustered, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty is the heir of the two saints, and the world agrees on this matter. There is no doubt about it!" The disturbance is really the negligence of the ministers and other officials in the political affairs hall!"

"It's a mixed feeling for a while, but Xianggong doesn't have to be like this."

Li Dan stepped down to help Xue Ji himself, patted him on the arm and said, "Mr., go first, and I will come later."

After Xue Ji also left the hall, Li Dan sat back on the imperial bed, his expression changed for a long time, and after a while he said sadly: "The joy of the society is not the king's blessing, everything is so reluctant..."

In the political affairs hall, because the emperor had not arrived yet, the ministers had not formally discussed the matter, but the atmosphere was already very lively.Right now, besides the Prime Minister Zhitang, there are also officials from various provinces and temples, including one or two generals, who are entering the Zhengshitang.

Among them, of course, General Zuo Yulin and Lu Wang Li Shouli attracted the most attention. At this moment, half of the courtiers gathered beside Lu Wang's seat, each giving congratulatory words.

Prime Minister Li Zhaode and Di Renjie didn't need to come forward to compliment King Lu, they sat alone in their special seats, among them Li Zhaode was looking through the relevant information about Shuofang that he just got from the Ministry of War, while Di Renjie was asking in a low voice if there were any Hus in Longbian for this victory State registration information.

After a long time, the sound of advocacy and other ceremonial guards sounded outside the political affairs hall, accompanied by the Zhongguan's singing: "The sage is here!"

Chapter 0634 group chaos, Zhaode resignation

When the emperor arrived, all the ministers went out to meet him.Wearing an ocher yellow robe, Li Dan sat down in the hall while the officials were welcoming him. Officials from the Political Affairs Hall came in and began to carefully report the Longyou battle report just received.

Although the vast majority of the ministers already knew about this matter, when the report began, everyone still listened to it seriously, and they couldn't help but feel deeply moved again.

And when the emperor Li Dan heard that this victory turned out to be on such a large scale, he couldn't help showing surprise for a while, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion after listening to the report: "The soldiers of Longbian have defeated the enemy. Thieves, sincerity is meritorious, Yan Guogong Changzhi, Wang Shangshu Xiaojie, worthy of being a model of town generals, towns and borders that can be obtained by the country, scholars and people are at ease, and I have no worries. Zhenguo Yongwang is even more worthy of the honor, everything If you appoint each other, there will be good news!"

"Such a great achievement must be rewarded. Today we are discussing rewards for meritorious persons, and the rest are ignored."

As the emperor made his statement, a group of courtiers also began to organize their own words and prepare to speak.

This time, it was Di Renjie, a servant of the sect who was not diligent in everything, who spoke first.

"Since Tuyuhun lost his country, Tubo has often been harassed by the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court has used troops several times. Although the victory and defeat have been poor, they have successfully kept them out of the country. Now that Longbian and the Western Regions have gained more victories, it is really gratifying to participate in the war. Soldiers, it is advisable to confer awards, but it is a common practice, so there is no need to exaggerate."

Di Renjie is not in favor of making use of side affairs, and all the ministers know this.However, many people were quite surprised when they heard such a clear expression from him, which really didn't fit Di Renjie's usual style.

As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, Zuo Yu Lin Quannan came out of the class and said with a frown, "How can Di serve too much? Tubo has been powerful for a long time, and it has hurt our country's plan to conquer the army. The four towns of Anxi have been destroyed, and they are all Tibetans. As a result of the thieves' riots, as for Wang Shangshu's army far away, and then conquered the four towns, it was my possession again. Qinghai's victory, Qinling, the prime minister of the Fan Kingdom who supervised the war, was the most powerful and vicious among the thieves, and now he is Yong. His Majesty the king made a magnificent miracle that has never been seen in modern times, how can it be expected by ordinary people!"

Di Renjie glanced at Quan Nanchan, but did not respond directly. He just glanced at the emperor Li Dan sitting upright in the hall and Li Zhaode who was still groaning in the banquet, as if waiting for their voices.

However, another prime minister, Cui Xuanwei, stood up and began to supplement Di Renjie's views.

"Wang Xiaojie's recovery of the four towns is already a great achievement. This time, Anxi won again, but the remnants of the previous battle, the bandits were not reconciled to the loss of the four towns, so they started the war again. Wang Xiaojie should be defeated, but his responsibility within. It is acceptable to commend the deeds and encourage them, and there is no need to reward them twice for one deed.”

Cui Xuanwei has his own reasons for saying this. During the Changshou years, Wang Xiaojie recovered the four towns, and the rewards he received have exceeded the meaning of his victory.Now that he is the guardian of Anxi, he is naturally responsible for guarding it. Anxi's victory this time is a routine operation, and it has not yet reached the standard for the officials of the political affairs hall to discuss matters together.

Of course, the focus of today's discussion was not on Wang Xiaojie at all, everyone knew in their hearts that the issue of Anxi's meritorious service was just an addition, and the focus was naturally on Qinghai, where King Yong supervised the battle.

However, Cui Xuanwei's next words caused an uproar in the hall: "The battle of Qinghai, although the meritorious service has been recorded, but if the cause is investigated, I ask King Yong to be punished for the crime of light recklessness!"

As soon as Cui Xuanwei finished speaking, not to mention the surprise of the ministers, Lu Wang Li Shouli couldn't hold back any further, and raised the case, pointed at Cui Xuanwei with a halberd and said angrily: "Cui Xuanwei hurt ministers and slandered meritorious officials, it is annoying and hateful! Please make it immediately and send it to the hall!"

With the violent rise of King Lu, the officials of King Yong's line in the hall also stared at Cui Xuanwei with unfriendly eyes, which made the atmosphere in the political affairs hall suddenly become sharply opposed.

At this time, the emperor Li Dan glanced at Li Zhaode first, seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, so he smiled at Li Shouli and said, "Prince Lu, don't be impatient. The current agenda is still under discussion. Listen to what you say, and let everyone speak." It is only fair to talk about wide mining. Since Xianggong Cui made this statement, I and all the princes are also curious about how to form this argument. If what you say is unreasonable, you can refute it in court."

Li Shouli was even more dissatisfied with the attitude of the emperor and Si Ni, or in other words, favoring Cui Xuanwei.

But he didn't think about how to continue to refute for a while. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Prime Minister Lu Yuanfang and Guozijian Siye Zheng Rong both hinting. Lu Yuanfang's meaning is not clear, but because Zheng Rong is closer, Li Shouli also Seeing it more clearly, I saw that Zheng Rong was using his fingers to outline a word "go" on the case.

After pondering for a while, Li Shouli realized a little, and said again: "I have seen that King Yong has made great achievements, and his deeds are conclusive. There is no doubt about it. Discuss it harshly. I am not curious about Cui Xuanwei's strange remarks."

While speaking, he raised his hand and shook the embroidered armor he was wearing, and continued: "The minister respects the Beiya government with his thin talent, and does not win his appointment through debate. Because of his duties, he dare not be distracted for a moment. Once he tells what he sees, he will not be distracted for a moment. If you dare to stay here again to avoid trouble, I respectfully ask you to retire temporarily and arrange the affairs of the guards."

Hearing what Li Shouli said, the atmosphere in the hall became a little calm again.As for the Emperor Li Dan, of course his expression was a bit ugly, but the Zuo Yulin Army led by Li Shouli was currently serving as a full-time guard at the Shangyang Palace where the Empress Dowager lived, and Li Dan couldn't refuse his request to retire for a while. He was ordered to continue to consult in the church.

Li Shouli showed his anger, and the atmosphere in the Zhengshitang did not recover for a long time.The officials of King Yong's lineage, from prime minister Lu Yuanfang down, were all silent and made their attitude clear. No matter what Cui Xuanwei said, they would just treat him as farting.

This kind of silence is more like a demonstration, and it clearly outlines the power of King Yong in the court.For some people, the heart is naturally very unhappy.

Emperor Li Dan just looked down at the utensils and ornaments on the case at the moment, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

At this moment, Prime Minister Li Zhaode finally spoke, raised his finger and pointed at Cui Xuanwei, who was a bit at a loss, and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Such a fierce reaction from King Lu interrupted Cui Xuanwei's train of thought a little. After a moment of silence, he didn't care to savor his emotions, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "This battle in Qinghai is not inevitable. Longbian Taking Heyuan as the hub town and setting up defenses based on Chiling, although the bandits roam across Qinghai, they are powerless to invade Longyou. Chang'an in Xijing is in chaos and has not yet been established. Come on, it's a matter of course!

King Yong, on the other hand, not only climbed Long himself, but also took the initiative to plan a war.Looking at what he does, how can he take the safety of his family and country as a measure?The plot is just the name of the Qinling of the Fan Kingdom, which is good at fighting. If it can be defeated by luck, the reputation of King Yong will be the most important for a while, far surpassing the famous officials of the previous generation.But if unfortunately defeated, Longyou and Guanzhong are in danger!

The safety of this half of the country depends on the prominence of one person.King Yong's victory did not hide the danger of his schemes. He said that he was magnificent, but in fact he was lonely. This is really not useful and a role model! "

Although the officials of King Yong's family have stated that they will no longer participate in the follow-up discussion, they still couldn't help but frown for a while when they heard Cui Xuanwei's accusations against King Yong, and they just suppressed themselves.

After Cui Xuanwei finished speaking, Li Zhaode got up from the seat, turned to the emperor's seat and bowed deeply, and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty will grant you the opportunity to take charge of the affairs of the country. Since the beginning of the work, I have been trembling for fear of neglecting my duties. But in the end Unfulfilling people's wishes, such evil words were born in the political affairs hall, slandering the meritorious, and narrow-mindedness is beautiful, so that people all over the world will know this, and they will criticize it.

The minister is not afraid of people's words, but he is afraid of disappointing the emperor's favor. The current deeds are like this, and there is no room for sophistry.I ask you to change this important task, abandon the poor talent, and think of the successor as a policeman! "

If Cui Xuanwei's argument is already surprising, then Li Zhaode's voluntary resignation is even more shocking and inexplicable.Li Zhaode has always been tough in his actions, when will he see that he can make such a retreat?

If he was dissatisfied with Cui Xuanwei's speech, he could directly reprimand him.But now there is no tit-for-tat debate with Cui Xuanwei at all, but a resignation based on this, which is really inexplicable.

In particular, even if Cui Xuanwei criticized him, it was only aimed at King Yong. Li Zhaode may echo King Yong in some matters, but it is really impossible to use his own power to retreat in order to advance.

Could it be that Li Zhaode really intends to quit?

After some people in the hall thought of this, they couldn't help feeling even more ups and downs for a while.Could it be that the DPRK situation has just stabilized, and there will be a new round of shocks?

When everyone was surprised and suspicious, the emperor Li Dan also stood up with a face of shock, and walked quickly to Li Zhaode, opened his mouth first, and then said in a complicated voice: "I have not won the country for a long time, and I have With no accomplishments to claim and no faults to hide, how could my virtues have declined to such an extent that I secretly thought of abandoning me?"

"Zhaode is crazy! The sage bestows an important position, but he uses it to keep coercion!"

Hearing what the emperor said, the officials in the palace became even more excited, and several of them directly pointed at Li Zhaode with a halberd and reprimanded: "Such behavior, how can you be a ruler! How can such a mad minister rely on the country's plan!"

With the development of the matter to this point, the court situation is gradually getting out of control, and some famous and veteran ministers are also showing a secretive attitude at the moment, not daring to speak lightly.

In the end, it was Di Renjie who stood up again, walked between the emperor and Li Zhaode, and said earnestly, "Today's discussion is a victory in Longbian. Before entering the discussion, His Majesty has already spoken, so don't care about other things. Li Xianggong suddenly said something out of the ordinary." , It’s really a shame.”

"The minister lost his temper in a hurry, he was indeed guilty, and he was willing to accept the punishment afterwards. However, the victory in Longbian, the minister thought that King Yong's meritorious deeds could indeed be praised. Although the soldiers are fierce and the gentleman is not serious, but the safety of the family and the country must not yield an inch! Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be any reason to give service to thieves? Kill when you kill, and cut when you cut down! Xuan Wei spent half his life in vain; How can Cui Xuanwei and his like see the outlines of their schemes from the bottom of a well?"

After Di Renjie spoke, Li Zhaode took the opportunity to return to the topic and expressed his views on the matter.

Chapter 0635 All feelings are not in harmony, the country is in dire straits

Li Zhaode's words were very blunt, but this is the Li Zhaode everyone knows, and some people were relieved because of this.

At this time, Li Dan also retreated to the banquet, and sighed: "King Yong is great, I know it. So I asked the princes, because the reward is difficult to determine. Such a grand deed, the special reward is not enough to show. But now The imperial court has made new decisions inside and outside, and it is difficult to spend, and I am afraid that people in the world will criticize the Tian family, and expand the search for treasures and give them to private individuals..."

"The family of heaven and the people are all one. King Yong has such talents and deeds, even if he did not give birth to a family of heaven, he can be called a beautiful weapon that can be reused in the community. Your majesty is worried, and it is necessary to take a long-term plan. The use of the country is not appropriate, and this prime minister is guilty. You can’t be harsh on heroes because of this. People like Xuan Wei can’t check their own meritorious deeds, but use narrow-minded evil words to hurt the country’s pillars, ministers and strong men, which is a big loss of justice!”

Li Zhaode continued to speak, and he did not conceal his distaste for Cui Xuanwei and even Di Renjie's remarks.

Hearing Li Zhaode's words, Di Renjie smiled wryly, gave a long salute, and then retreated to the table without saying anything more.It's just that every time he glanced at the emperor Li Dan in the hall, his eyes became complicated, and he was more or less disappointed in his heart.

Putting aside their respective positions and political opinions, during today's meeting alone, the emperor's attitude changed several times. To put it nicely, he followed the trend of good, but in fact he just followed the trend and had no plans.

Cui Xuanwei was whipped by Li Zhaode with words, so he was naturally anxious, but even His Majesty the Emperor had already stated that King Yong had done a great job, so it was not good for him to continue arguing about his arguments, so he simply bowed his head in silence, but His gaze continued to wander over several people in the hall.

At this time, Xue Ji, the servant of the Huangmen, got up and said: "King Yong is a talented man in the heavenly family. He is not trapped in favor and nourishment. He has made frequent achievements. It is really admirable. And because he was born in the heavenly family, his meritorious deeds are beyond common. When the sound track is not clear, the generosity of the enjoyment has surpassed that of ordinary people. Today, the family's kindness is used in various ways, and the merits of nurturing will not be wasted. , Loyalty and bravery are commendable, not only heavy rewards, but not enough to create grace..."

Xue Ji proposed a new idea, and the reason is fair.King Yong was born in Tian's family, and he has enjoyed all kinds of honors before he has made any achievements. Now that he has made great achievements, he is only repaying Tian's family's kindness in nurturing him.The focus of the imperial court's rewards should still be on the soldiers on the Longyou frontier.

So when Xue Ji finished his statement, many courtiers present also echoed their voices.Not just because I think what Xue Ji said makes sense, but if I have to express my opinion, it is undoubtedly the safest and safest to go along with Xue Ji.After all, it is well known that Xue Ji participated in politics as the emperor's confidant, and his attitude can represent the emperor's attitude to a certain extent.

Li Dan didn't immediately agree with Xue Ji's words, but turned his eyes to Zheng Rong who had been sitting silently in the table, and said with a smile: "Zheng Siye is a relative of the heavenly family, He has profound morals and profound bearing, and he should not just sit idle here, both in public and in private. I want to hear what Zheng Siye sees here."

When Zheng Rong was asked by name, he avoided the table and walked into the hall. He saluted first and then said, "I'm not doing this professional job. I'm just filling the table today and preparing for details. I don't dare to discuss it lightly. The sage asked, Dare not to answer. But I am grateful for the grace of heaven, and I have to be a guest and friend with the famous king of the heavenly family.

His Royal Highness King Yong participated in Dingding and Zhenguo. In all the major events he has experienced, if he had stubbornly pursued one or two private schemes, how could he have accomplished all his achievements?I feel that His Royal Highness has a high character, respects and admires him, and is proud of it. My humble feelings can no longer be counted, and I will not be overjoyed if I keep this fate.Talking about personal feelings, pouring everything I have, is not enough to express deep meaning! "

Zheng Rong's speech immediately made the atmosphere in the Zhengshitang become weird again. The previous tit-for-tat seriousness faded away, and many people looked at Zheng Rong with envious eyes.

When Emperor Li Dan heard Zheng Rong's words, his expression was complicated for a while, and he couldn't tell what it was like.In terms of official affairs, I don't have any right to speak about this, but you must ask my opinion. With this relationship, I have everything I need, and I am willing to give him everything.

These words were alluding to what Xue Ji said, King Yong was the clan of the Tang family, so this was not a reason to reward him harshly.If His Majesty the Emperor really valued family affection, King Yong should be more rewarded when he made such a great achievement.

As the official father-in-law of King Yong, although Zheng Rong himself is not ranked high in the current political affairs hall, no one dares to despise him since he has spoken out.

After Zheng Rong finished speaking, Prime Minister Lu Yuanfang also stood up and said: "There is still a folk theory of accumulating grain to prepare for disasters and stockpiling goods for future affairs. This section can already be credited. It even annihilated the Tibetan army in Qinghai, advocating the prestige of our country and calming our side.

With this kind of scholar, there is no heavy consumption inside but great merit outside. This kind of talent is beyond the reach of ministers.King Yong's meritorious service is majestic and powerful, and he is also a prime minister. The imperial court commissioned him to fix chaos in Guanfu, chase Hu in Hequ, and kill Tibetans in Qinghai.It is really putting the cart before the horse when talking about the amount of merit, only how much can be used to make full use of one's talents is the great plan to benefit the country and the family! "

After Lu Yuanfang finished speaking, the audience was completely silent.After hearing these words, everyone suddenly realized that discussing King Yong Qinghai's merit was indeed meaningless.Not long after King Yong went west, he had already done so many deeds.

Each of these incidents, for the Tang Dynasty who had just experienced the coup turmoil and the initial decision of the court, could cause headaches.

However, after King Yong went west, the imperial court had almost no involvement in Shaanxi affairs, but King Yong was able to handle it in an orderly manner.In this process, the imperial court did not give any assistance at all.

After such a thorough thinking, everyone realized a problem. The current King Yong can be said to ask for nothing from the court, but if the court does not have King Yong, it must be absolutely impossible.Just because King Yong now possesses all the powers, even if the court sends three or five talented people, it may be difficult to take over completely, and they can do as well as King Yong.

After realizing this, some courtiers gradually realized why the atmosphere seemed so weird at the beginning of today's discussion.

Di Renjie, who was used to keeping a low profile and keeping everything in check, unexpectedly spoke first, and made a lot of contemptuous remarks about Longbian's meritorious deeds.As for Prime Minister Cui Xuanwei, his attitude was even more obvious. He was full of malice towards King Yong, almost surpassing the group of nobles from Guanlong who hated King Yong the most in the current situation.

Li Zhaode made his remarks first, and then expressed his views on the matter, which was also quite contrary to the usual style of conduct.

As for the officials of King Yong's family, they allowed the courtiers to argue, but they kept silent and did not argue.It turned out that including Lu Wang's early exit, they were all confident and confident.

Now Lu Yuanfang is taking the initiative to explain the underlying logic of the current situation that the public has not realized for a while. The amount of information contained in it is even more difficult to digest for a while, but it can also make people judge according to their specific situations. Think about it.

Hearing what Lu Yuanfang said, the corners of Emperor Li Dan's mouth trembled unnaturally. The reason why he said before the start of the meeting that today's discussion of merits and not getting involved in the rest is because he wanted to maintain a false appearance of decency. I would like to expose the embarrassment of the imperial court in the face of King Yong's problem, and I don't want to expose that King Yong is irreplaceable to the current Tang Dynasty even more than himself as the emperor!

Di Renjie and other ministers of Hebei made a step-by-step statement, which really made Li Dan feel certain, at least for now, there is no consensus in the court.But then Li Zhaode's statement made him confused, and even secretly thought of retreating.

Li Dan is dissatisfied with the current political situation and wants to make some changes. Maybe he thinks he has hidden it well, but Li Zhaode, Di Renjie and others have been tested and experienced in political struggles for a long time, so how could they not see it? What the emperor thought.

Li Zhaode seems to be hijacking the King Yong's matter to retreat and advance, but in essence, he is targeting Emperor Li Dan's heart that has gradually become turbulent but has no strategy.

The emperor wanted to change, but he didn't know where to start, what adjustments to make, and what kind of situation to achieve.However, Li Zhaode, as the most powerful prime minister in the Zhengshitang, his existence means that the court order is currently in operation.

He made a big fuss and threw out his resignation just to make the emperor calm down a little bit and look forward a little bit. Even if the current court order is broken, how much can the emperor decide in the new order that will be formed next?Is the order achieved is the one the emperor hoped for?

Not to mention the emperor Li Dan, Li Zhaode is not lacking in disappointment with the current court situation, even though he has a lot of power in this order.Moreover, the emperor's shallow intentions will be constantly noticed and used by others, and the method is nothing more than to attack Li Zhaode.

Although Li Zhaode has a lot of fighting spirit and is not afraid of any challenges, he feels that the Great Tang Dynasty, which he has won with great difficulty, should no longer be obsessed with various internal frictions and political struggles.

So when he stated his resignation, he really didn't want to retreat because he was pampered. King Yong's deeds really made him quite envious of the situation where he quit the dispute and focused on the camp.

He may not have the talent and magnanimity of King Yong, but if he can go north and concentrate on solving the Turkic border problems, he also looks forward to it, and he is even willing to give up his position as prime minister for this.

After all, the current him is already the biggest and most eye-catching target in the political situation in God's Capital. As long as he doesn't fight to the death, the black hands hidden in the dark will probably not stop.What's even more frightening is that maybe one of these black hands belongs to the emperor!

Lu Yuanfang's straight-to-the-point speech made all the subsequent discussions become perfunctory. Everyone was no longer eager to express their opinions on this, and began to think about some more immediate issues.

Feeling the change in the atmosphere, Li Dan simply stopped the discussion, ordered the Zhengshitang to continue, and left the Zhengshitang himself.

After leaving the Political Affairs Hall, Li Dan did not return to the palace. After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Go to Shangyang Palace."

Chapter 0636 If Wang Ruo returns to the dynasty, the erotic palace will treat him

Emperor Yi drove to Shangyang Palace, which was definitely a sensational event.

Since the coup in Shendu, the Empress Dowager moved to Shangyang Palace, and the emperor's family returned to live in Da Nei.Although it is not said that the emperor disappeared in Shangyang Palace, except for some formal etiquette, basically he rarely went there.

At the beginning of April, there was even a debate in the hall of Shendu about whether the emperor should ask questions day and night.The final result is that Shangyang Palace is located on the west side of Da Nei, and it is not easy to come and go.

But in fact, even on the day of Wangsuo, the emperor still has various affairs to worry about. He entered some ritual days with his officials, and other times he could avoid it.

Regarding this point, the court and the market are also closely guarded, and there is little discussion.Each of them knows the reasons well, talking too much is just causing trouble for themselves.

It was precisely because of this that the emperor suddenly went to the Yang Palace, which aroused a lot of attention and various speculations.

In front of the gate of Shangyang Palace, Lu Wang Li Shouli, who had just left the political affairs hall early, was wearing armor, and led the soldiers of Zuo Yulin with a serious expression to welcome the emperor Yijia here.Knowing that the emperor was coming to Shangyang Palace, Li Shouli transferred another two thousand soldiers from the Yulin barracks to be stationed in various sects urgently. This attitude of being ready for battle also reflected the embarrassing relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager.

In fact, the defense of Shangyang Palace is not the only one that has been tightened up. During the trip of Emperor Yijia, the soldiers of the two Yamen are also dispatching additional troops.

When Emperor Yi drove out of Da Nei, General Zuowei and Guan Guogong Yang Jiaben was in charge of dispatching the road defense between the imperial city and Shangyang Palace in person.In addition, You Yulin Li Duozuo personally took up the armor and followed Emperor Yijia into the Shangyang Palace.

After this round of personnel hustle and bustle, when the mother and son met in Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace, more than an hour had passed.Although the atmosphere before the meeting was solemn and tense, the scene of the meeting in Guanfeng Palace was not very serious.

Li Dan dismissed all his entourage and went to the palace alone.After the empress dowager in the palace saw this, she also ordered the soldiers of Zuo Yulin, who were guarding the palace, to withdraw from the palace, leaving only Lu Wang Li Shouli and several female officials and maidservants to wait on them.

"My son's nature is simple, and he can only be called without orders. Since he was in charge of the prison, he has been busy with everything, but he rarely has time to pay respects to his mother. I am ashamed of thinking about it. Please forgive my mother."

After ascending the hall, Li Dan made a solemn salute first, and did not rush to get up, bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

The empress dowager did not sit upright on the mat, but stood sideways outside the mat. After hearing the words, she just smiled and said: "The emperor leads the people in the world, and the matter is for the well-being of all people. Don't pay too much attention to private gifts in the court. .Your mother has a long time in her spare time, and her daily life is smooth. There are many relatives to accompany her, and she is not weak in love."
