This memorial proposed to make the crown prince Li Xian the emperor and demanded that the emperor Li Zhi be respected as the emperor, which caused a stir in the court, which surprised countless people and of course surprised Wu Zetian. However, after knowing who proposed the memorial, more people were surprised. Everyone who knew about this matter knew that another huge wave would be stirred up in the court.

This memorial was jointly submitted by many ministers, including several heavyweight ministers: Shangshu Zuo Pushe Dai Zhide, Shizhong Zhang Wenguan, Zhongshu Ling Hao Chujun, Zhongshu Secretariat Li Yiyan, etc., as well as many ministers with the fourth and fifth ranks.

Many prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall jointly submitted a letter with other ministers, saying that on the grounds that the emperor was sleepy for many years and could not manage government affairs, and would be unable to deal with the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, he asked the court to make the crown prince Li Xian the emperor and change Li Zhi to the Supreme Emperor, which was no less than forcing the palace. After receiving this joint memorial, Wu Zetian almost fainted. When he had nowhere to extricate his anger, he could only lose his temper in the Xianju Hall and scold the palace servants.

Chen Yi was summoned to the palace by Wu Zetian at the first time, but this time he was not very lucky. Before he could salute and greet him, he was scolded by Wu Zetian. "Chen Yi, tell me, why didn't you find out such a big thing?" After shutting down all the servants, Wu Zetian walked up to Chen Yi angrily, almost nodding and scolding, "Aren't you responsible for the Military Intelligence Institute? The imperial court has spent a lot of effort to train so many intelligence personnel, and the palace has also given such great support. You can't even find out about this matter. You said, what's the use of this palace asking you?"

Of course Chen Yi was very surprised. He didn't expect that Wu Zetian would scold him fiercely when he met him today. He remembered that he had never encountered such a time since he met Wu Zetian. He originally thought that Wu Zetian summoned him in today to discuss how to deal with this matter. When he came in, he was also muttering about this matter, thinking about how to answer Wu Zetian's inquiry for a while, but he didn't expect to be scolded a few words first. But he immediately reacted and explained without any retreat: "Empress, they must have such a thing.

It is very strict and cannot be made public before the memorial is submitted. No matter how powerful the intelligence personnel are, they cannot be investigated, unless the person involved is arrested and questioned. These heavenly ministers have reported to you. Some ministers in the court have had close contacts, but they just don’t know what they are discussing! However, this matter is also a dereliction of duty. The Military Intelligence Agency has just established its subordinates’ abilities, and the ability of the subordinates is a little poor. After returning, the ministers will definitely question their subordinates so that they can no longer be slack and strictly prevent such things from happening!"

Indeed, the Military Intelligence Agency did not find out the relevant situation in this matter, and Chen Yi felt it was a bit inappropriate. What if, as in history, Zhang Jianzhi and others led the Yulin Army soldiers to force the palace to force Wu Zetian to abdicate, such difficult things happened early because of his appearance? In that way, Wu Zetian could not respond early. When the matter was at a loss, it was not bad to think of a way to deal with it? It seems that the work of intelligence detectives still needs to be improved. However, intelligence personnel investigated that many senior officials in the court had close contact with each other after the New Year. They reported the matter to Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian did not pay enough attention.

Some officials in the court have close contacts, but they cannot find out what they are discussing. After all, only relevant personnel will know such high-level confidential matters. Those senior staff and entourages cannot know, and several parties involved will not know the details unless they arrest them and torture them. Chen Yi can only explain this, hoping that Wu Zetian will not pursue this matter, but will find a way to solve the problem of the ministers' forcing the palace. He was a little worried that Wu Zetian took the opportunity to remove him from the Military Intelligence Academy. If you hand over your official position to Qiu Shenji or others, his one or two years of hard work will be wasted. Chen Yi spent a lot of hard work on the establishment of the intelligence investigation system. He felt that the establishment of this institution could allow him to gain a lot of benefits. People who traveled through time in the future knew the importance of such a secret institution. But if the institution had just been established, the person who proposed a plan and was responsible for the entire construction work was dereliction of duty because of such a dereliction of duty. Wu Zetian kicked him away, then he would definitely be depressed.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian did not think about this at this time, and did not threaten to remove Chen Yi from his position as a part-time position, but she still got angry with Chen Yi. She blamed him and his subordinates for not doing their best to do their best, so that she could not find out such a major event in advance, so that she was caught off guard and unable to respond effectively. She also said hatefully that if such a thing happens next time, she will definitely punish Chen Yi and his subordinates severely. Seeing that Wu Zetian did not threaten to remove him from his position in the Military Intelligence Institute, Chen Yi was relieved.

After getting angry at Chen Yi, Wu Zetian felt less angry. Maybe he was tired and thirsty. Gu Zi sat down on the side of the desk and drank a few cups of tea. After solving the problem of thirst, he saw Chen Yi still standing aside and signaled him to sit down aside with anger: "Okay, you sit down and talk. This happened today. You should give me some advice on how to stop!"

Chen Yi looked at Wu Zetian carefully with a look of care, and said humbly: "Empress, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and I don't know how to deal with it. When I entered the palace, I was also thinking about how to deal with it!"

Wu Zetian was in a bad mood today. Chen Yi's few polite words made her very impatient. She couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Just tell me what you thought of!"

Seeing Wu Zetian's appearance, Chen Yi felt a little sad. It seems that in Wu Zetian's mind, his status is still not irreplaceable. He also thought about what Sun Simiao said to him during the Chinese New Year. It seems that when a major event occurs, Wu Zetian will still pay more attention to things. In specific circumstances, it is not certain to sacrifice him. However, now is not the time to care about this. Since Wu Zetian asked him about his idea, he must also reply. If this matter helps Wu Zetian solve the problem, she may pay more attention to it. Not sure, he cleared his throat and said in a voice that made people feel calm as much as possible: "Empress, many ministers now ask the court to establish a new emperor on the grounds that His Majesty is in peace, unable to wake up for a long time, and unable to get up to deal with affairs in court, so as to avoid chaos in the court. The only reason they did this is that His Majesty is no longer able to manage the affairs. If His Majesty shows signs of recovery, such as being able to get up, or even make people feel that he can get up to handle affairs soon, what will the court officials think? Will the reasons they have made now be valid?"

This incident must have been absent in history. At least in Chen Yi's memory, similar things did not happen. The closest thing was that in the later years of Wu Zhou, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi led the soldiers of the Yulin Army to kill Wu Zetian's two male favorites Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Yizhi, and forced Wu Zetian to pass the throne to the crown prince Li Xian. But now Li Zhi is still alive. Although the emperor's Majesty is a bit like a living dead, at least his life is still preserved and he has not died. Moreover, Wu Zetian did not fully hold power. Even when he became emperor, Li Xian was not tortured by Wu Zetian. I don't know how many years it was missing in the era. There is no historical experience to learn from, so I can only think of a way. On the way to the palace, Chen Yi was always thinking about a solution, and this was the only thing he could think of.

However, after thinking about it, he still felt that the method he had just said was indeed very good. If people saw the hope of Li Zhi's recovery, His Majesty the Emperor might wake up and eventually the director could continue to take charge of the government affairs, then they would have no reason to force Wu Zetian to make a decision, to make the crown prince Li Xian the emperor and respect Li Zhi the emperor. If Li Zhi could get up to deal with the court affairs by himself in the near future, it would be too unreasonable if these people forced Wu Zetian to make Li Xian the emperor. It would be a bit like the suspicion of seeking the throne of power, which would be a great crime. And if Li Xian himself had this request, even the prince Li Xian could take the opportunity to depose him. After thinking about the past and the future, Chen Yi felt that his idea was very good and would definitely satisfy Wu Zetian. Moreover, he also had a way to make Li Zhi recover, but it was just a sign.

Chen Yi's words made Wu Zetian stunned. She didn't expect to get such an idea. She asked in disbelief: "Ziying, don't you say that Your Majesty has no possibility of recovery. Why do you say that today? Can you... really have a way to heal Your Majesty?"

"No!" Chen Yi shook his head, "I can't cure Your Majesty's disease. I believe that no one in the world can cure Your Majesty's disease. Even if the gods descend to the earth, the same is true. However, some medicine can be applied to make Chen Yi show signs of improvement, and he can get up and walk by someone. If the situation is better, he may even say some simple words, but it is absolutely impossible to fully recover from the director!"

"So that's it!" Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She didn't know whether it was because Li Zhi really couldn't fully recover, or because Chen Yi's idea just now made her feel relieved. But she didn't say anything, but began to ponder.

Chen Yi didn't continue, sitting quietly beside Wu Zetian, waiting for her to inquire again. After thinking for a while, Wu Zetian's originally frowning brows relaxed a little, but her expression still didn't feel relaxed. She then carefully asked Chen Yi about the situation, including how to treat Li Zhi and how to make Li Zhi recover as soon as possible without revealing the situation.

After listening to Chen Yi's detailed answer and feeling that Chen Yi was very confident about this, she really breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still did not give Chen Yi a definite answer, but she asked him to leave the palace first and call him in to discuss with him if there is anything. After listening to Chen Yi's words, Wu Zetian had almost made up his mind, but she still summoned Helan Minzhi, Li Jingxuan, Zhongshu Sheren Pei Yan, Qiu Shenjie and other close ministers to the palace, discussing this major event that is destined to cause storm.
