It was Zhang Zong who came here for the second time in the Zichen Palace of Daming Palace. Looking at the majestic palace in front of him, Zhang Zong suddenly felt a strange feeling. Such a magnificent palace, but he did not admire him in his eyes. Instead, he felt that the whole palace seemed to be in a dusk, and even the eunuchs and palace maids entering and leaving could not see much anger.

Li Zhi should have summoned Zhang Zong long ago. After all, the imperial edict for marriage had been issued long ago, but Zhang Zong's serious illness interrupted the process, so it was delayed until now. Li Hong was also walking in front of him and personally took Zhang Zong into the Zichen Hall.

The hall was more majestic and solemn than outside. After passing through the heavy dragon pillars, Zhang Zong finally saw Li Zhi, but when he saw Li Zhi clearly, he showed a surprised expression, and then his heart sank.

When Zhang Zong met Li Zhi last time, although the other party was sick, he was relatively fat. However, after only a while, Li Zhi became much thinner. If he didn't even look carefully, he felt that Li Zhi was stronger than before.

For ordinary people, being able to lose weight is of course a good thing, but for people like Li Zhi who enters old age and who have serious illnesses, suddenly losing weight is not a good thing. Instead, it means that his body has begun to be overwhelmed and even at risk of deterioration at any time.

However, Zhang Zong was not allowed to think too much at this time. He immediately saluted with Li Zhi and said, "See Father, Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, give me a seat!" Li Zhi stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat next to him and said, although he had lost a lot of weight, he was in good spirits. If it weren't for the illness on his face, it would probably not have made people think of him suffering from illness.

Zhang Zong and Li Hong also sat down separately after hearing this, and then a palace maid brought tea. After all, it was not a court meeting now, and Zhang Zong was about to marry Taiping as his wife, so he was not considered an outsider. Therefore, Li Zhi was very casual at this time.

"Zhang Zong, you were seriously ill before, but now you are well?" Li Zhi asked Zhang Zong with a smile.

"Your Majesty is worried about it, my illness is fine!" Zhang Zong answered.

"It's fine!" Li Zhi smiled and nodded again, and then said again, "Zhang Zong, your marriage with Taiping has been announced to the world, and the Ministry of Rites has also begun to prepare the wedding. If you have any ideas about the wedding, you can propose it now and the people from the Ministry of Rites will arrange it."

"Leave everything to your Majesty!" Zhang Zong replied again with a plain expression. He had already accepted the marriage rationally, and he didn't care at all as to how to arrange it.

Li Zhi didn't seem surprised to see Zhang Zong's performance in such a plain manner. In fact, he knew more about Zhang Zong and Ning'er than anyone else. After all, Princess Chengyang had come to confront him in person before, but as an emperor, sometimes he had to pretend to be confused, so he didn't care about Zhang Zong's performance, let alone mention the previous events.

"Hong'er, after Zhang Zong and Taiping got married, your mother and I decided to move to Luoyang. You will stay in Chang'an for a while." At this time, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Li Hongdao.

Originally, the matter of moving the capital was a big quarrel in the court, but later Li Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to defeat Tubo and pushed his reputation to the top, which made the opposing ministers in the court unable to hold on anymore. And most importantly, Li Hong no longer blocked the capital from moving, so the matter was settled. During this period, the court had been preparing for the capital move.

"My son obeys the order, but my father is far away in Luoyang. My son is unable to be filial to my father for a short time and is very uneasy. Why not let Chongye go to Luoyang on my behalf. In addition, he is not young anymore, so I also want him to learn more with my father so that he can help me handle government affairs in the future!" Li Hong nodded first, and then put forward his own ideas.

"Zhongye is a good child, so let him follow me!" Li Hong immediately agreed when he heard this. Chongye was just his eldest grandson before, but now he is the eldest son and grandson. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also succeed the throne of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Zhi still attaches great importance to his eldest grandson.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Hong immediately saluted.

Since he talked about moving the capital, Li Zhi took this opportunity to discuss some moving the capital with Li Hong. Although Zhang Zong next to him heard it, he was a little confused and did not express any opinions. In fact, since he recovered from the illness, he felt a little unimpressed in other things except for the matter of growing cowpox.

After finally waiting for Li Zhi and Li Hong to discuss the move of the capital, Zhang Zong thought he could say goodbye and leave, but he didn't expect that Li Zhi suddenly looked at him and said to Li Hong: "Hong'er, you go back first, Zhang Zong and I have a few words to say!"

"This..." Li Hong was also very surprised when he heard this, and also showed a hesitant expression. After all, Zhang Zong was not willing to get married. He was also afraid that Zhang Zong would be unhappy when meeting with Li Zhi, so he deliberately accompanied Zhang Zong into the palace. However, now his father asked him to leave first, which made him very worried.

"What, are you still afraid that he can't find the way back alone?" Li Zhi asked as if he was joking when he saw Li Hong hesitating.

"Father is joking, my son is leaving!" Li Hong didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. He immediately winked at Zhang Zong, and then left the hall.

After Li Hong left, Li Zhi waved his hand and asked the eunuchs and palace maids around him to retreat, and only him and Zhang Zong were left in the hall, which made Zhang Zong suddenly feel a little nervous.

"Zhang Zong, you are a smart person, do you know why I left you alone?" Li Zhi stared at Zhang Zong for a long time before he asked slowly.

"I... don't know!" Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment before speaking. In fact, he vaguely guessed in his heart that Li Zhi left his intention, but he deliberately pretended to be confused.

"I don't know?" Li Zhi looked at Zhang Zong with a lot of fun at this time. After a moment, he said again, "The matter between you and Taiping is a foregone conclusion. Although this matter is a bit sorry for Cheng Yang and the others, there is nothing I can do about it. I also know that you are very unwilling to accept it, and may even take your anger on Taiping because of this. But you must know that Taiping is my favorite daughter, and I will never allow any harm to her!"

"Your Majesty is so serious. Who dares to hurt her as a princess? " Zhang Zong replied in a steady voice, and when it comes to being ordinary, there is no slight turmoil, like a pool of stagnant water.
