I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Li Zhao: "So what if he is the emperor? If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided."

"It's karma, it's reincarnation, this is what he deserves. What are you afraid of!"

"Oh~ Two gods, you...oh~"

"What are you doing?"

Li Zhi tried hard to stay awake and make his voice heard, but he could not get up and could not leave the bed.

[Let You Do Whatever You Want] It's really awesome. If Li Zhi really meets a gangster in this state, he might be done whatever he wants to him.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Li Zhao.

Li Zhao shook off the color waste in his brain and said majestically: "Human Emperor Li Zhi, I am also acting on the orders of His Majesty the Supreme Taiwei Heavenly Emperor. Don't blame me."

What on earth do you want to do?! Speak up!

Li Zhi was trapped in bed, screaming wildly in his heart.

Ignoring Li Zhi's frightened look seeking help, Li Zhao placed an order for a [Headache Pill] from the Palace Fighting System's mall.

[Headache Pill], 50,000 points per pill, effective for ten years, will cause pain wherever you point your finger, no risk of death, imperial physicians will never be able to diagnose it, and ordinary medicines cannot cure it.

It was specifically used to deal with the emperor, artificially creating a headache to make it easier for the empress or concubine to seize power and usurp the throne.

The goddess played by Li Zhao had a dignified face and deliberately stretched out her voice, "I am a subordinate of the East Kitchen Siming Seat of the Donghua Siming Palace in the Dafang Palace, and the Kitchen God of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty."

"Today, I am here to bring disaster by order of the Supreme Taiwei Heavenly Emperor, the Young God of East China."

"Li Zhi, got it."

She clicked on the [Headache Pill] on the system interface and confirmed that the target of the user was - Li Zhi!

At the same time, Li Zhao took away the [Let You Do Whatever You Want Fragrance], instantly put on the [Void Crane Cloak], and hid in the corner.

Qingluan disappeared, took a stick of incense and smoked it everywhere, and the people below began to wake up slowly.

After a while, the effect of the medicine wore off, and an earth-shattering scream suddenly rang out in the hall.

“Ahhhhhhh! It hurts! Someone, someone, come!!”

Li Zhi rolled over in pain on the big bed. He felt like his head was about to split open! !

His voice immediately woke up the people in the palace. Wu Meiniang, who was sleeping beside him, quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Several flower-branch lamps in the hall illuminated even the corners. The emperor suddenly cried out in pain, and all the palace servants became panic-stricken.

Someone had already hurried out of the door to fetch the imperial physician who was waiting in the side hall.

Li Zhi was in Wu Meiniang's arms, feeling so painful that he couldn't breathe, and his first words were.

"Quick, quick, go find Xuan Zun! Save me!!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the hall, Li Zhao quietly turned around, consumed a little faith value, and instantly moved back to the Qisheng Temple where he lived without alarming anyone.

Soon, Wu Meiniang and her people came with lanterns, and they asked for help through the palace door.

"Xuan Zun, Your Majesty has a sudden headache for some reason. Please, Xuan Zun, save Your Majesty!"

Li Zhao sat cross-legged on the couch. The rest of the people in the Qisheng Temple had already woken up. She just said impatiently: "It's the middle of the night, why are you making so much noise!"

The sound penetrated the entire space, causing everyone inside and outside the hall to hold their breath and concentrate, not daring to make any sound. Even Li Zhi gritted his teeth and tried not to cry out in pain.

After cursing, Li Zhao ordered Madam Zhang: "Madam Zhang, bring them in."

When Wu Meiniang came in, she looked anxious and asked Li Zhao to see Li Zhi first.

"Xuan Zun, look, what happened to His Majesty?"

"Hmm? Let me take a look."

Li Zhao gave Li Zhi a pain-free childbirth pill that he had prepared earlier.

Everyone saw a ray of light coming out from Xuanzun's fingertips, and Li Zhi instantly recovered and stood up.

Li Zhao asked someone to offer Li Zhi a seat. As soon as Li Zhi sat down, Wu Meiniang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He said, "Xuanzun, I heard two gods talking tonight while I was half asleep and half awake."

Before he could finish, Li Zhao raised his hand and said, "I know what happened to you. There is no need to elaborate."

Li Zhi pleaded, "Xuan Zun, the Kitchen God said that he was ordered by His Majesty the Great Emperor of Heaven, Xuan Zun's Mother Goddess of Taiwei to punish me. I wonder what fault I have committed that the gods want to punish me by making my headache worse?"

That’s right, Li Zhi already felt that his headache had become more serious.

But why is this happening?

Li Zhi was puzzled.

Li Zhao said with a sigh, and said nonchalantly: "Emperor, have you forgotten?"

Li Zhi didn't understand what was going on, so he bowed his head and said, "Please release me, Xuanzun."

Li Zhao smiled: "The Battle of Dafeichuan."

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's eyebrows jumped.

Qing Luan snorted, "In the Battle of Dafeichuan, 100,000 soldiers died unjustly on the battlefield, and several states and counties fell into the hands of the enemy. What a deep karma this is."

"As the emperor of mankind, you are responsible for caring for your people and stabilizing the border. This is your mission. Now that you have committed such a serious mistake, how can the heavens not punish you?"

Li Zhao said: "You are the emperor of mankind. When you govern the country, you will have merits and karma every moment. The rewards of merits and karma will befall you in different ways."

"Your headache is a punishment from the heavens for your ancestors, and it was passed down to you through your bloodline."

"Now my headache is getting worse and the pain is constant. This is a punishment from God that has been given to you alone."

When heavenly punishment is added to heavenly punishment, how can it not be painful?

Xue Rengui, Guo Daifeng!! You two beasts!!

Li Zhi cursed them in his heart, but was forced into a corner, so he gritted his teeth and turned over and knelt down.

This attitude is as humble as it can be.

"Xuan Zun! I know I was wrong! Please help me, Xuan Zun, and let His Majesty Taiwei Tiandi revoke the heavenly punishment!"

Li Zhao refused directly: "That's impossible. What is your punishment for the day? A dish of food on the table. Can you remove it if you want?"

"The Taiwei Mother Goddess is the Young Sima of Donghua, in charge of the life and death, disaster and fortune, and fate of all living beings in the three realms and ten directions. The punishment from heaven is brought down according to the laws of heaven that she has established."

"As the Great Supreme Heavenly Venerable Taixuannuqing, the Heavenly Laws she has established cannot be violated even by the Three Pure Ones."

Li Zhao started to chase them away: "I am only letting you forget the pain temporarily. After three days, the punishment will continue and you will be in constant pain. You better take care of yourself!"

"Go back."

After Li Zhao finished speaking, he used his spiritual sense to throw them all out the door!

The door in front of him slammed shut, and Li Zhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "What should I do! If the pain I felt just now continues, I will die from the pain!"

A severe headache is not pleasant, it feels like someone has opened a water and land temple in your head.

Li Zhi shuddered just thinking about the pain.

Suddenly, Li Zhi had an idea: "Oh, right, merit! Xuanzun said that my heavenly punishment came because I had too many karmas, so if I accumulate more merits, can I offset the heavenly punishment?"

It was daybreak, and Li Zhi immediately issued an edict, asking the prime minister and his confidants who had accompanied him to the Eastern Capital to come to the palace to discuss the matter of accumulating merit.

Cen Changqian, Pei Yan, Princess Wencheng and others hurried into the palace. Li Zhi told them what had happened and then asked, "Do you have any ideas to help me accumulate more merits?"

Li Zhi looked at Princess Wencheng first and said, "Sister Wencheng, you were Xuanzun's sister in your previous life. Could you please go to Xuanzun and mediate on your brother's behalf?"

Princess Wencheng did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After she left, the other prime ministers and their confidants thought hard and gave several suggestions. At this time, Princess Wencheng came back.

Princess Wencheng: "I didn't meet Xuanzun, I just met Sister Li Chao. She asked me to tell Your Majesty that it is impossible to accumulate a lot of merit in a short period of time. You have to do something that will benefit the present and future generations."

Li Zhi asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Sister, tell me quickly."

Princess Wencheng said: "For example, amending unjust laws and implementing some benevolent policies."

She took out a memorial and said, "This is what I asked for from Sister Li Chao."

Wu Meiniang and Li Zhao had already colluded with each other and seized Li Zhi's power step by step.

The first step is to change some of the laws that are unfair to women, starting with the criminal law.

In terms of criminal law, the Tang Dynasty treated women and men in completely different ways.

If a husband beats and injures his wife, his punishment shall be reduced by two levels to that of an ordinary person; if the wife dies, she shall be treated as an ordinary person.

Killing one's wife still causes discord.

However, any wife who beats her husband shall be sentenced to one year in prison; if the beating is serious, the punishment shall be three times higher than the usual punishment for fighting and injury; the husband shall be required to file a complaint before the wife can be sentenced. If the wife dies, she shall be beheaded.

Such an unfair law must be changed! Why not change it all at once?
