Knowing that Li Zhi's body would be destroyed, Wu Zetian drafted an edict as the Empress Dowager of the State, ordering the Crown Prince Li Xian to supervise the State, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, Li Jingxuan, Xue Yuanchao, Helan Minzhi, and Chen Yi to "Pingzhangshi in the East Palace" to assist the Crown Prince in handling the affairs of the court. <800 Novel Network wWw.800book.net Full text, fast update, no pop-ups!>[Training the Queen]
The edict to let Li Xian supervise the state and handle the court affairs on behalf of the emperor was issued. Li Xian was still in the dark. He didn't know whether it was his mother's test for him or whether he really made him supervise the state. He hurriedly refused for a while, and finally realized that his father was about to die. In this case, his mother's mother asked him to supervise the state affairs and did not dare to refuse anymore, and came out to do things tremblingly.
However, there was a shadow of the incident two months ago. Helan Minzhi was accused of his inability to deal with things, which made Li Xian feel in his heart. In the subsequent process of supervising the country, he did not dare to make any decisions on most matters. He summoned several people to discuss with the East Palace Pingzhangshi" before he could decide, or to discuss with his mother. However, every time he discussed with Wu Zetian, he would be blamed for not knowing how to deal with things, which made Li Xian dare not talk to Wu Zetian again. When summoning several people to discuss with things, he was often ridiculed by Helan Minzhi and Li Jingxuan for not being able to deal with things, which made Li Xian very uncomfortable.
But Li Xian has a good tolerance. In addition to not daring to anger Wu Zetian and taking any opinions from his mother very seriously, he could ignore the ridicule of Helan Minzhi and others and still humbly ask for advice. However, Li Xian was young and even if he was cowardly, he had a personality. He was still teased by Helan Minzhi and others when he was not doing things well, which made him very uncomfortable every day. After returning to the bedroom, he would vent a few words to Wei, which made Wei sigh and feel angry, but he didn't have many ways.
Li Zhi's condition was getting worse day by day, and everything was expected by Chen Yi. Wu Zetian looked worried, and of course she didn't want Li Zhi to leave just by no means. With her expectations, Li Zhi would be able to get better for a while, and then get better again, which was the best result, leaving the ministers with nothing to say.
But Chen Yi told him that Li Zhi was already terminally ill and could not continue his life. She was also sad.
Of course, Chen Yi also knew that Li Zhi's death would bring great tremor to the court at this time, and no one could predict how the situation would evolve next, but he believed that the more chaotic the situation was, it would be more beneficial to him, a person who already had a special purpose. Otherwise, he would not have started to reduce the effective dose of medicine for Li Zhi when Li Xian was deprived of his power to deal with the affairs of the court for almost two months, so that Li Zhi, who should have died, would return to heaven. In fact, Li Zhi's life and death were not much different in recent years. Except for Wu Zetian who hoped that he would survive in such a life, others either hoped that Li Zhi would recover or hope that he would die early. In that case, the affairs of the court would not continue in such a state. A new king could be established early and the new king would be in charge of power. As a result, a strange thing like Wu Zetian was involved in the affairs of the court.
Li Zhi's condition gradually worsened, and the imperial physicians in the palace took turns to wait by their side, and did not dare to leave them day and night.
Although Chen Yi had already told Li Zhi how many days his life would be, Wu Zetian still had a little fantasy, hoping that Li Zhi would live a few more days. In this way, her subsequent arrangements would be more complete, so that she would not be able to control the situation after Li Zhi died.
Among the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, Wu Zetian felt that after Li Zhi returned to heaven, only Chen Yi and Helan Minzhi would support her unconditionally, no matter what she did. Whether it was Li Jingxuan or Pei Yan, they only supported her conditionally. If she did anything against the will of heaven, not only Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, Xue Yuanchao and others would strongly oppose it, and even Li Jingxuan, Pei Yan and others would stand opposite her. What she had to do now is to further recruit people who could support her unconditionally, but Li Zhi's condition changed too suddenly, and Chen Yi had no choice. Sun Simiao, who had rarely come to Chang'an, was unwilling to go to the palace to treat him again. After saying that the emperor's illness was cured and could not be cured, Wu Zetian was completely disappointed and could only step up the Internet to be loyal to her. But suddenly, how could he recruit people who were loyal to her unconditionally?
Li Zhi was about to die, not only Wu Zetian was speeding up preparations, but other ministers including Chen Yi were also preparing for changes in the court after Li Zhi's death. In addition to trying to take the imperial guards as much as possible, Chen Yi also tried to put his confidants into key departments through Wu Zetian's hands, so that they could take over the main affairs of each department to increase his voice in the court. In addition to these, he also began his very bold move. This move was achieved through Wei. Li Zhi was about to die, and Li Xian would take over the throne of the emperor without any accident. His plan against heaven will not be implemented now, and there will be no such good opportunity to be implemented again.
For this reason, he took the initiative to meet Wei Shi and wanted to force Wei Shi to agree to his request through many detailed discussions. It can be said that he wanted to coerce Wei Shi and do that. As long as he knew it was so powerful, the woman would agree.
On the day when Li Xian finished his work and went to Li Zhi's bed to wait, Chen Yi met Wei in a side hall of Tai Chi Palace.
Before Chen Yi could salute Wei, Wei saluted him and thanked him: "Shangshu Chen, I thank you for your care for the prince over the past period of time. Now the prince is the emperor and the empress handling state affairs. This must be because Chen Shangshu made a strong suggestion in front of the empress. When Chen assisted the prince, he gave the prince a lot of help. The prince and I are very grateful!"
"The Crown Princess should not be too polite. That is what a minister should do. Your Majesty is getting worse and worse. The Queen should take care of her. What else can she do if the prince is not allowed to supervise the country?! Haha, as a minister, when the prince cannot make a decision, it is reasonable to give some advice!" Chen Yi looked at Wei with a faint smile, but did not avoid it, and accepted Wei's thank-you gift.
After Wei stood up, he signaled her to go to another inner room to speak.
Wei followed Chen Yi to the small room that seemed to have not been in for a long time and smelled bad. Today, Chen Yi was with Pei Xingjian and accompanied Li Xian to the court, and stayed on excuse to stay in Tai Chi Palace, and sent someone to tell Wei where he was waiting. Yesterday, Chen Yi had someone tell Wei that he had something important to say today. Wei, who agreed to Chen Yi's appointment last day, only brought a maid here with her today, but she was a little nervous when she first arrived here because the place was too deserted and even a little cold. No one saw anyone around, and Wei didn't feel safe at all!
However, Wei finally followed Chen Yi into the inner room inside and faced him alone.
After entering the inner room, Chen Yi stood in front of Wei a long distance: he looked up and down and was a little trembling with fear, and joked: "Crown Princess, you have said it many times before. You should thank me well, but I don't know how the Crown Princess wants to thank me!" He just met Wei today, and he had the idea of teasing him, and he said the fun words inadvertently!
"Ah?!This..." Unexpectedly, when we met today, Chen Yi would say this first, which surprised Wei, who was unprepared, and didn't know how to answer. After seeing Chen Yi's eyes as he went up and down, her face turned red. She could understand something special from Chen Yi's words just now and the look of looking up and down. She also understood that Chen Yi had also understood some of her implicit expressions before, but the firmness she had developed over the years made her not escape, but bit her lips and stood in front of Chen Yi, holding back the shame in her heart, and looked at Chen Yi with a red face: "I don't know how Chen Shangshu wants me to thank you?"
"It turns out that the Crown Princess said he should thank me carefully several times, but he was just a scheming statement. He never thought about how to thank me really, and it was really disappointing!" Chen Yi said, laughing twice, bowed and bowed, "I misunderstood the Crown Princess' sincerity, so I just pretend that I had never said these things before, and don't say anything about today. I will say goodbye to me!"
"Oh, Shangshu Chen, don't leave!" Seeing Chen Yi's desire to leave, Wei couldn't help but feel anxious and couldn't help but reach out and hold Chen Yi's sleeve. When Chen Yi stopped with the flow, he lowered his head and said softly: "Shangshu Chen, I know that you are not greedy for money. I can't give you power now. I originally wanted the prince to ascend the throne and beg the prince to promote you, but now the Empress has promoted your official position and made you the political affairs hall. Even if the prince ascends the throne, I can't thank you in this regard! I really want to ask Shangshu Chen today, how do you hope I will thank you? As long as Shangshu Chen speaks, I will definitely agree!"
Chen Yi looked at Wei with a smile and said in a playful tone: "What if you think you can't do it?"
"Ah?!" Wei exclaimed softly, his pretty face turned redder, and he asked in a very light voice: "What is Chen Shangshu's referring to?"
Looking at Wei, who was blushing in front of him and looked very cute and cute, Chen Yi suddenly became teased and ignored the princess in front of him. He might become the queen of the Tang Dynasty in a few days. He reached out and grabbed Wei's sleeve and pulled it gently. Wei poured it into Chen Yi's arms in an exclaim. The two of them hugged a firm hug.
It was already a little hot early summer. Both of them were wearing thin clothes. They leaned against each other and felt the heat of their skin. Wei suddenly plunged into Chen Yi's arms, and his plump breasts just pressed on Chen Yi's chest. The strange feeling immediately aroused in their hearts. Because when they were in contact with Chen Yi a few times in the past few times, Wei expressed some special meanings intentionally or unintentionally. Today, he was alone with Chen Yi. After a few words, Chen Yi took the initiative to hold her in his arms. After she was initially shocked, she quickly calmed down and did not struggle to leave. Instead, she leaned in Chen Yi's arms without movement. Although her heart was beating very hard, her face was so red that it could bleed.
She was prepared in her mind. She had such plans and had never had such ideas. When she encountered something very strange, her reaction was completely different. At this time, Wei was a little indulging in her plan. She had guessed the purpose of Chen Yi's appointment with her today, which was to ask her for gratitude. If she expressed her gratitude, Chen Yi would continue to help her and Li Xian in the future.
But she didn't know if Chen Yi would ask her for thanks today! (To be continued.)
