However, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan fell ill one after another after this incident, and they became very serious. After all, they were old and in their sixties or seventies, and they were in poor health and suffered a major blow. They were discouraged and were sick.

During their sickbed, they submitted their resignation to the court again. In the end, Wu Zetian agreed to their request for resignation and issued an edict to commend their contributions to the court over the past years. After the punishment and encouragement of kindness and power, the court soon calmed down. The ministers' awe of Wu Zetian rose to a new level. Those who benefited from this incident were increasingly admired by them.

I don’t know if this incident had a big blow to Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan, or if they were not in good health in their original health. After they got sick, they had not been cured. Wu Zetian personally sent the imperial physician to treat him but failed. As time went by, the two of them became more and more serious and died within two months. Dai Zhide was 71 years old at the age of 73 when Zhang Wenguan passed away.

Wu Zetian also expressed his grief over the deaths of Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan. They each stopped the court for three days. The court issued an edict to posthumously award Dai Zhide as the three departments of Kaifu Yitong and Bingzhou, with the posthumous title of "Gong". Zhang Wenguan was posthumously awarded Zhang Wenguan as the governor of Youzhou, with the posthumous title of "Yi"!

Regarding the disposal of Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan, Wu Zetian agreed to the humanized disposal method suggested by Chen Yi. He knew that their health had always been poor, and it might not be too long before they were allowed to stay in the court. Therefore, he did not give them serious responsibility and allowed them to continue to hold their original positions by comparing their merits and demerits. In the end, the two old ministers did not encounter the heavy responsibility that most people think, but the two got sick and died one after another, which no one expected, including Chen Yi. It can only be said that it was a coincidence, because they were almost alive, not for other reasons.

On the other hand, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan are willing to take the lead in doing this, but it may be because they are old and have little time. Why not do something that is famous for being in history when they are about to retire? If things fail, even if Wu Zetian blames them seriously, there is not much so-called. In their opinion, such things should not affect their children and grandchildren.

If you are unlucky, someone will benefit. This is an unchanging truth. Many ministers were unlucky in this matter and were demoted. But many people benefited from it. After Dai Zhide passed away, the position of Shangshu Youpushe was vacant. But after thinking about it, no one with such a reputation could hold this position. Wu Zetian invited Liu Rengui, who had retired, to take on this position.

Liu Rengui refused to come out, but after Wu Zetian came to invite him personally, he finally agreed. The vacant Shizhong position of Zhang Wenguan was appointed by Gao Zhizhou Zhou, but the word "shou" was given. The censor Zhang Da'an was promoted to the post of the Censorate of the Procuratorate, which turned out to be Hao Chujun's position. Liu Shenli was transferred to the position of the Censorate of the Ministry of Works. He Lan Minzhi also added the word "procuratorate" in front.

Pei Yan was able to become the Minister of the Secretariat, and was given the title of the third rank of the same as the Secretary of the Central Committee, making up for Li Yiyan's lack and was ranked in the Political Affairs Hall. It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of this incident was this young scholar who came from the same rank as Pei Xingjian and was a member of the Pei family. He stepped into the ranks of prime ministers from the original fifth rank of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, which surprised many people, and even Pei Xingjian was surprised and puzzled.

The two Pei officials from the same family were in the Political Affairs Hall. They were just as shocking as the post of the six ministers of the Cui Zhiti and Cui Zhiwen brothers. However, they were in harmony with the Cui brothers. Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan gradually accumulated grievances afterwards, and eventually became like fire. Of course, this is a later story!

A grand event ended with unexpected results from many people, which made many people sigh. However, the impact of this incident was not very large, nor did it involve the people, and not many news spread. The matter about the emperor's condition was originally very taboo. In recent years, many people dared to talk about it privately, and this time many people were demoted and even more afraid to talk about it privately.

Officials dare not talk about this matter more, and strictly ordered people around them to prohibit discussions, so who dares to say more?

Without the officials, the people in the market could not find out such news, so they spread. The order in Chang'an City was still in place. This incident could be said to have not affected the lives of any people. The demoted officials and their families were affected.

As the midsummer came, everything settled down, and the war in the Japanese side had also subsided. All the Japanese troops were annihilated by our Tang army. The Prince of the Dahairen continued to be his King of Japanese and ordered the tribes to surrender. After the Tang army led by Gao Kan wiped out the more formal Japanese team, most of the troops also retreated to the Ori River area to garrison. The Ori River City had been renovated and the city walls were all built. The scale was much magnificent than the original Japanese built by the Japanese. The city wall was more than half higher, and it could be used as a defensive project. In addition to the large number of Tang troops stationed in Ori River City, near the coast in the Andong Protectorate, some fortifications built by the Japanese were originally built to prevent the Tang army from attacking the sea. The Tang army also had garrisons and strengthened the construction of buildings such as cities that could be used for garrisons.

In addition to these, after the Tang army defeated the Japanese team, there was no more action. Gao Kan ordered the guard on the spot and train troops on the spot.

The main force of the Japanese army was defeated and all the Japanese were occupied, which only shows how much power the Japanese had been included in the Tang Dynasty, but the various forces in its country still exist. The current territory of Japan is still very different from that of Japan in later generations. The current sphere of influence of Japan is only on three islands. There are some small countries like Ekima that Chen Yi had never heard of in later generations in this archipelago. In the place traditionally called "Water", it can also be said that it was ruled by several major forces. There are many tribes in Japan. Before the Tang army entered, there were often fighting among the tribes. Brother Zhongda was assassinated at the beginning.

Su Woji, the leader of the Su Wo family, finally gained power. Su Woji was the most influential force at that time. After Su Woji was assassinated, his power was quickly weakened. At the same time, several other major forces also took the opportunity to exaggerate the influence. It was impossible for various forces to have no fighting. It was just that the struggle between the various forces was not so obvious because of the prestige of Zhongda's brother. However, now that Japan was attacked by our Tang army, Zhongda's brother was captured, and the major forces that were temporarily suppressed became active immediately. They hoped to get the support of the Tang army, hoped to gain a larger sphere of influence, and began to fight each other.

This is also the situation that the Tang Dynasty is most willing to see. It is a turning a blind eye to the struggles between all forces. Even when the major forces later became superficial and even faced each other with force, they did not adopt a policy of interference. They allowed the Japanese to fight each other, and even secretly poured some oil and added fire, making the Japanese ground more and more lively.

There are millions of people in Japan, and the number of young and strong people accounts for at least one-fifth to sixths. To occupy its land and minimize resistance, it will consume a large amount of young and strong people. The best way to consume is massacre. But in the current situation, of course it is not possible. Doing this when the Japanese did not rise up on a large scale will be a loss. So let them fight in their own internal struggles, and let them kill each other to consume a large amount of young and strong people!

Don’t pay too much attention to the matter in Japan for the time being. Just wait and see what happens and finally get the benefits of the fisherman.

Of course, nearly 100,000 Japanese captured in the battle with the main force of the Japanese army would no longer have the chance to stay on the Japanese land. They would be escorted back to the mainland to contribute to the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty.

This summer, Wu Zetian still did not go abroad to escape the heat. After the weather was hot, he moved to Qingliang Hall with Li Zhi on his sickbed. However, Li Zhi's condition did not look very good and he was unable to get up as a director when the weather was hot. However, the situation was much better than at the beginning of the year. Wu Zetian blamed this situation as visits by many ministers on that day, which made the emperor feel excited and the treatment effect decreased. Wu Zetian blamed this situation as disturbing the ministers, which caused the emperor's heart to stir up trouble, which caused the treatment effect to be poor. This made Li Xian, who had cried in front of Li Zhi's sickbed that day, was frightened again. He thought his mother pointed the finger at him and wanted to punish him.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian did not blame him afterwards, but just asked him to study in the East Palace well and listen to the teachings of those officials in the East Palace more.

Li Xian became an obedient and good baby again, and he had almost no time to leave the palace. He stayed in the East Palace all day long, reading and writing, and accepted the teachings of the prince's Taishi, the prince's Shaoshi and other officials of the East Palace. As one of the officials of the East Palace, Chen Yi occasionally went to teach Li Xian some lessons, but he often followed Pei Xingjian, who was entrusted as the prince's Shaoshi. He was afraid that Li Xian would be dragged to complain or something alone.

However, he went to the East Palace a lot of times, and sometimes he was forced to go there by Wu Zetian. It was impossible for him to follow Pei Xingjian's butt every time and be a so-called figure. On one morning in this hot summer, he followed Wu Zetian's order and took a piece of calligraphy written by Wu Zetian to teach Li Xian and gave Li Xian a lecture.

Although Li Xian acted like a good baby during this period, Wu Zetian was still not relieved and often gave admonitions. What Chen Yi brought over was an article "Biography of Filial Sons" written by her personally, so that Li Xian could study hard. Wu Zetian asked him to study "Theory of Filial Sons". No matter how stupid Li Xian was, he could understand his mother's meaning. Moreover, he was not stupid at all. He was smart, so he could describe it as a little, let alone a little bit of wisdom, Wei, who was extremely smart. After Chen Yi sent this "Theory of Filial Sons", he was so grateful that he kept expressing his filial piety to Chen Yi and asked Chen Yi to tell Wu Zetian that he would follow his mother's teachings at any time in the future. The similar meaning was that Wu Zetian asked him to go east, and he would never go west. Li Xian's performance was still a little shocked.

He also became more and more convinced that Li Xian was a very scheming person, not as docile as he appeared on the surface, and that Wei, who looked pure and lovely, was also a powerful character. Li Xian must have been bewitched by her, and many of the ways of doing things were probably taught by Wei.

This time, Chen Yi taught Li Xian some miscellaneous lessons. Seeing that noon was approaching, Chen Yi was about to say goodbye and leave. However, Li Xian disagreed and insisted on pulling him to have a meal in the Eastern Palace. Later, Wei also came out to persuade him, and said that Li Xian was frightened since the last incident, hoping that Chen Yi could comfort him and make Li Xian less worried. With the passion of the couple, Chen Yi had no choice but to stay for lunch.

Although the Tang people liked to drink, they usually rarely drink at noon, mainly for fear of misleading things. However, Li Xian didn't seem to be worried about this, so he had to pull Chen Yi to drink. Li Xian said nothing, and Chen Yi just agreed. He just asked Li Xian to drink less so that the two of them would not be drunk all afternoon and could not do anything! Li Xian naturally agreed, but when he drank, he was not so easy to control. He drank too much and talked more. He didn't know whether he was going crazy by drinking or was like this. After drinking too much, Li Xian said a lot of "crazy words", saying that his son was very filial to the empress and mother. He didn't want to be the prince, let alone become emperor, and hoped that his mother would spare his position as the prince and give it to his younger brother Xiang Wang Dan. Finally, with Wei's panic comfort and support, Li Xian stopped talking and was helped to sleep.

Facing the leftovers on the table, Chen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Of course, he wanted to tell Wu Zetian about Li Xian's performance, but he really didn't know whether this was Li Xian's acting or something. He was about to leave, but he had just taken two steps, but was called by Wei, who was holding Li Xian in and then coming out.

"Chen Dajian, the prince is unable to drink, he is talking nonsense after drinking, which makes you laugh!" Wei, who had used some strength to support Li Xian, was gasping for breath, and stood in front of Chen Yi with a pretty face, and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay!" Chen Yi smiled generously, "Then please ask the princess to come in and serve the prince. I will take the leave first!"

In summer, Wei was wearing very light clothes. He stood close and looked down from above and could see some of the scenery on his chest. Because his wives and concubines went out to escape the summer heat, even Wu Tuaner who was recuperating and Wu Shun who lived with Helan Minyue also followed. These days, Chen Yi had no place to vent his strong energy. Seeing the attractive scenery, he always felt restless. In the Eastern Palace, this would be very embarrassing, and Chen Yi wanted to escape.

During the last private chat, what Wei Shi said made Chen Yi remember clearly. Although he was expected that the crown princess would not do anything out of order, it was always difficult to see the two get along in private.

But just when Chen Yi wanted to leave, he was called away by Wei: "Chen Dajian, please go slowly, I still have a few words to say!"

"If you have anything to say, please give me your order!"

"Thank you for your beautiful words in front of the Empress last time. The prince was less scolded. Thank you for your reminder. I am very grateful!" Wei said, raising his slightly blushed face, looked at Chen Yi calmly, and whispered: "I hope Chen Dajian will remind the prince more in the future, and ask Chen Dajian to say more beautiful words to the prince in front of the Empress! The prince is timid and afraid of being scolded by his mother. He is always careful in doing things and will be awakened from time to time at night. Please take care of Chen Dajian. After all, Chen Dajian is also the prince's cousin and husband, and they are both family! The family should take care of each other. I hope that in the next days, Chen Dajian will take care of the prince. The prince and I are very grateful!"

"The Crown Princess is so serious, his position is low and his official position is light, and he is not able to do what the Crown Princess said. He just often teaches the Crown Princess something randomly. He also asks the Crown Princess not to expect too much to do what I can do, which will disappoint you!"

"Chen Dajian is humble. I know you can definitely help us!" Wei bit his lip and said, "If Chen Dajian is willing to help, the prince and I will be very grateful to you. Really... I will definitely find a way to thank Chen Dajian for his help!"
