All the Heavens Return

"Did you pick these?" Zhao Ji asked after taking the ball of herbs.

"That's right, the father's illness is always not good. Kang Yi misses him in his heart, so he goes to gather medicine every day. In this way, the father can come back sooner."

""

Hearing this, Zhao Ji suddenly fell silent, speechless for a long time.On the floor, Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it any longer, sobbing unceasingly.

During Emperor Zhezong's reign, he doted on the Liu family to the utmost, gradually promoted him from a royal attendant to Jieyu, and later even spared no effort to abolish the Meng family and help her become a queen.

This shows how deep the relationship between the two is.Hearing Kang Yi's childlike words at this time inevitably brought back those good memories of the past.

Of course, Mrs. Liu is not a good woman. With Zhe Zong's favor, she became more arrogant and domineering, and her heart became more vicious.Meng's abolition of the post was also planned by her in collusion with foreign ministers.

Seeing the tearful eyes of the empress, Xiao Kangyi couldn't sit still, and struggled to get down from Zhao Ji's arms and ran back.

"Your Majesty, don't cry, Kang Yi is with you."

"Okay, okay, mother don't cry"

Liu suppressed the sadness in her heart, and even hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, taking her as her only support.

"I'll treat the previous incident as if it never happened, and I won't pursue it any more. However, you can't do the same thing again. Once there is a next time, don't blame me for not thinking about family affection." After a long time, Zhao Ji waited for the other party to relax a little bit. He straightened his expression and said.He had no intention of staying any longer, so he got up and walked outside.When he came to the door, he suddenly said,

"I like Kang Yi very much. When she grows up, I will find a good marriage for her to protect her prosperity for the rest of her life. I hope the emperor's wife can take care of herself."

Before the words fell, people had gradually walked away.

"Your Majesty, why did the Emperor Uncle leave? He hasn't brought my herbs yet?"

"Kang Yi, good boy, the emperor's uncle has something urgent to leave first. Mother will send those herbs over later." Madam Liu stroked her daughter's pink and jade-carved face and forced a smile.However, when he saw the haggard maid who was tied up with ropes at the door, her expression became extremely complicated.

next day

At the top of the dynasty, Zhao Ji directly issued an imperial decree, promoting the brother of the Nine Emperors, Zhao Bi, to enter the Shufu as a prince and temporarily serve as a deputy.In addition, the original official positions of King Wei, King Cai and King Ding remained unchanged, and they were given the right to participate in the government.

All of a sudden, the entire court exploded, and voices of opposition were heard endlessly.Whether it is the new party or the old party, they all share the same hatred at this time and strongly oppose this matter.

However, Zhao Ji didn't listen to any opinions at all, forcibly passed the decree, and then directly retreated and left.In the hall, only a group of ministers were left looking at each other in blank dismay.

Just returned to the Yanhe Hall, before he sat down, there was a servant from outside to report, Prime Minister Zhang Dun, together with the ruling ministers jointly visited, and discussed important matters.

"Is it really here?" Zhao Ji smiled, and then ordered,

"Let them wait outside first, I want to review the memorial, and I'll talk about it after I'm done."

The servant left, and after a while, he returned to report again. King Chen, King Wei, King Cai, and King Ding came to see him.Zhao Ji also ordered,

"Didn't you say that, I want to review the memorial, and I don't have time to see them. Let the four princes wait with the ministers."

"According to the order."

The inner waiter was suspicious, but he didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and left again.At this time, Zhao Ji's expression changed, and he looked at Zhang Yandao,

"Recently, I have sent all your people out. I want to know at all times what these ministers in power are thinking and what they are doing. If there is any abnormality, please report to me at any time."

"Small obedience."

Although it is early spring, the temperature is still not high, and it is inevitable that the body will not be able to support standing outside for a long time.All the rulers in the East and West Mansions are not young, so naturally they couldn't bear it first.

On the contrary, the four princes are young people in their twenties, so it doesn't matter if they stand a little longer.

However, the four of them were also a little bit guilty at this time.It's okay if the officials didn't summon these ministers, but why didn't they also disappear? Could it be that something was not done well and made the officials angry?

This is not a trivial matter, especially at this time, an imperial decree from the court immediately pushed the four of them to the forefront.The glory is naturally the glory, the clan has finally stood up.However, there are also too many constraints, and if you are a little careless, you will be lost forever.

"Brother Jiu, what do you mean by the officials? Obviously, I have been given the right to participate in political affairs, and Brother Jiu has even entered the Privy Council. Suddenly, his attitude changed again. Let us and these officials All the ministers are waiting here?"

"The government is unpredictable, so doing this naturally has a deeper meaning. As blood brothers of the government, we just need to support, why ask so many why?" Zhao Yu smiled and replied quite easily.

"Uh..." Zhao Si opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.However, he didn't want to be so confused, so he had to turn his head to look at his brother who was the same mother.The latter couldn't help shaking his head slightly,

"I'm not as capable as Brother Nine Emperors, so I don't think much. However, one thing is certain, this decree will not be passed so easily. Presumably, the officials have other plans."

"The decree has been issued and the position has been sealed. What can I do? Will I go back on my word?"

"That might not be the case."

"Ah..." Zhao Si was stunned for a moment. Originally, he had the power to participate in government affairs, and he could also be powerful, but he didn't expect that he was still not sure?

Time passed, and after waiting for nearly an hour, finally, a servant came out from the hall and said loudly:

"Your Majesty has an order to announce that the officials and the four princes will enter the palace to have a conversation."

"The ministers obey the order."

Finally, there is no need to stay in this cold environment, and all the courtiers feel relieved.Moving his still trembling body, he walked towards the main hall.

"See Your Majesty."

"Be flat."

In Yanhe Hall, Zhao Ji glanced at the dozen or so figures in front of him, then said,

"This is not a great dynasty, if you have any ideas, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be abolished. If it is abolished, the government will be unstable and the world will be in turmoil."

"Taizu established the world. In view of the blood and tears of the past dynasties, he established a system that the clan's children are not allowed to participate in military and political affairs. The purpose is not to alienate blood relatives, but to do it once and for all, so as to avoid the possibility of rebellion by the powerful vassal kings of the previous dynasties."
