.At the beginning of the winter month, it snowed in Luoyang.

The snow is not big, crystal clear, like cute elves, melting into the ground.

Li Zhi looked at Xiaoxue flying outside the window and said, "Meihua, accompany me out to see the snow."

“It’s cold outside.”

"It's cold before frost, and it's cold after snow, and it's only when it starts to snow. It's not cold, and auspicious snow indicates a good harvest."

Ancient people did not know much about science, but they had a simple dialectical view. The snow should not fall too much. If it falls too much, there would be a great cold weather. Especially when cotton was not popular, the old people could only wear squids and squids, which would freeze many people. They also had to fall a few snowfalls, like quilts, which could protect crops. The cold snow water melted and the insects lurking in the soil.

At this time, the poor and low production technology was very dependent on the weather. The weather was good, the country was peaceful and the people were safe. A major disaster was difficult. If the ruler did not act, it would even cause great changes. Just like the poor Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty later.

It cannot be said that he did nothing, let alone that he had no backbone. It was just that the Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core and was terminally ill and had no cure. There was another important reason. The arrival of the Little Glacier, and the world was in great wasteland. By the Qing Dynasty, the Little Glacier ended, and the South American grains such as sweet potatoes brought to the Ming Dynasty supplemented the source of food. Therefore, the prosperous eras of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong came. It was quite ironic, just like the vast Grand Canal, which laid the foreshadowing for the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. The various changes in the Ming Dynasty also created the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.

The husband insisted on seeing, so Wu Zetian had to help him walk outside the hall.

Li Zhi reached out his hand childishly, took a handful, and a few grains of snow flew into his hands and quickly melted into water droplets.

He murmured, "What a pity, my eyes are not really visible, and the snow in front of me is all vague."

"His Majesty……"

"I want to ask Qin Minghe to treat me."

"No."

Qin Minghe took a very standard Chinese name, but was actually a Westerner. His parents were Byzantine, which was the Great Qin people mentioned by the Tang Dynasty. Because they believed in Neshinism and were not popular in China, they fell into the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, his treatment was from the West, including some "surgical surgery". Later, he was summoned to the palace as an imperial physician. However, the most famous imperial physician in the palace was not Qin Minghe, but Zhang Wenzhong. When he was very young, he was known as the three famous doctors in the world with Zhang Qianzong from Luoyang and Wei Cizàng from Chang'an, and his reputation was almost comparable to Sun Simiao. His best reputation was to treat wind and dizziness. After Ming Chongyan was in charge, he was treating almost all of Li Zhi's illnesses.

It was Zhang Wenzhong's treatment that allowed Li Zhi to survive for several years. However, Li Zhi believed in Ming Chongyan's xié. Ming Chongyan pretended to be a god while treating him. Li Zhi's illness was healed quickly. Zhang Wenzhong's medical skills were slightly above Ming Chongyan, but he did not have much effect.

Qin Minghe once said that the thorny head would solve Li Zhi's headache and unclear vision. There is also scientific basis for the long-term wind dizziness, poor pulse, and stasis that not only affects vision, but also aggravates the headache. Releasing the stasis can relieve headache symptoms and restore some vision. However, the prescription for treating symptoms is still not curable.

But at this time people didn't understand medicine. When they heard the little boy putting on their heads, Wu Zetian disagreed. Not only did Wu Zetian disagre, but Li Zhi was also a little scared. After Qin Minghe made a comment, he did not agree for a long time.

Although Li Zhi was still hesitating in his heart, he heard his wife's concern and paused and said, "I want to say something to you."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"I'm not good at my body."

"Your Majesty, I won't."

"I know in my heart that the deadline has come, but I don't feel regretful. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to maintain the foundation of the ancestors. Although many disasters have occurred, the country is stable and the hundred surnames are rich. What I am worried about is the future..."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything. In the future, I will be at ease to support Honger and govern a stronger Tang Dynasty."

"With your words, my wish is over. If others don't worry, I'm worried about you, I'm afraid that Honger will turn against you in the future."

"No, Honger has read many ritual books since childhood, and his work will be sensible. After all, I am his mother. If not, I will never be able to do so. I will never be able to do it. Over the years, I have been tired and want to have a good rest."

Speaking of the hard work over the past decade, Li Zhi was finally speechless.

The snow was getting worse, and suddenly the report came from outside: "An urgent report from the Western Regions."

The battle took place in Yinshijia River and Suiye City. Although it was not Khurasan, it was far away from Luoyang. And in the winter months, many sections of the road were frozen. In order to send the news to Luoyang, the inn suffered all the hardships along the way, and it took a month to arrive in Luoyang.

After listening to Wu Zetian's report on the mansion, countless stars flashed into Li Zhi's eyes.

Not understanding the matter is ignorant. Moreover, the newspaper also said that the situation is serious.

Tubo alone is not worth worrying. However, the invasion of the Turks and the Gelu people became extremely serious. Even if they did not rescue Saiye City and let Saiye City be corrupt, Lun Qinling was prepared long ago. There was enough food. Don’t say that the Western Regions became very cold. This cold weather was a god-given opportunity for the Tubo people. Although they had the advantage of their power, they still wanted to immediately eat up the 50,000-yuan junction of Lun Qinling. Unless Li Jing is alive, Li Ji will be resurrected.

Lunqinling continued to stalemate, and the Turks seized the empty Suoye City and continued to move south. This was also another team that was not afraid of the cold. The two attacked together, and many of the soldiers and family members were still in Suoye City. In addition to the soldiers from Qinghai, the original Western Regions must be unstable. The result was doomed to be defeated.

After Wu Zetian finished reading, Li Zhi's body became weak and he fell into a coma.

"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor," Wu Zetian held Li Zhi and shouted.

After a while, Zhang Wenzhong, Zhang Qianzong, Wei Cizàng and others, including Qin Minghe, were all reduced to the bedroom. Zhang Wenzhong stretched out his hand, took Li Zhi's pulse, and then looked at Wu Zetian and shook his head weakly.

"What's wrong with your majesty?"

"Empress Dowager, I can prescribe a blind yào for the Taishang Emperor, and temporarily make the Taishang Emperor awaken, but Taishang Emperor's illness... has reached the ointment waste."

"You are talking," Wu Zetian was prepared in his heart and still scolded him.

"I dare not, or I am not good at medical skills, let Doctor Zhang and Doctor Wei take a look."

Those who took the pulse to diagnose the disease had nothing to do with Qin Ming, Zhang Qianzong and Wei Cizang successively put the pulse on Li Zhi, and they all shook their heads. Those who dared not seek credit were exhausted. Li Zhilan had exhausted the oil. In addition, the news of the unfortunate news of the Western Regions was severely hit, and the last trace of vitality was exhausted. The god Daluo came to him and could not be cured. He said he had a treatment, and the death of Emperor Taishang in a few days will be undoubtedly true!

Wu Zetian knew that Li Zhi's reign had finally arrived and ordered all those who knew the inner feelings to keep their mouths closed, and those who reveal themselves would not be polite.

I summoned all my confidants overnight and went to the palace to discuss.

Li Zhi actually woke up again the next day. When he returned to his eyes, he seemed to have improved his anger and said to Wu Zetian: "Tell me an edict for me and let Liu Jing see you first."

The eunuch went down and called Liu Jing from the imperial city first.

Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian understood and said softly: "I will say goodbye for the time being."

After she left, Li Zhi said, "My deadline has arrived, I am not a pity. But I am very worried about the country, Liuqing, who do you think I am entrusting the country to?"

It was not about handing over the country to a certain minister, but about asking Liu Jingxing to propose a candidate. Before Li Wei came back, he took into account the National Congress and made a smooth transition.

"Your Majesty, it's enough to be supervised by Xianggong Pei."

"Why do you say this?" Li Zhi asked in anger.

The matters in the Western Regions cannot be entirely blamed on Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting. If he did not acquiesce, he would not issue those edicts. Then Xiao Wu felt that he was not capable enough and could transfer some jun teams from the Central Plains. Even if he transferred more martial arts weapons to the past, he could loosen the pressure of the Western Regions. But those edicts were issued by these two people who were bewitching them! What did Tubo not come out, and Turks not come out. But what about now?

"Your Majesty, let me listen to my words. Prince Pei doesn't understand the affairs of the matter very much, but he has talked with me in private many times. He said that the heavens are in no different ways, and the earth is in no way. Your Majesty has no immortals on earth. As a minister, he should serve the emperor. No matter how the emperor is wrong, what kind of person does outsiders think, he will persevere to the end. If Prince Pei... he will serve the emperor. He will even send someone to welcome the emperor immediately. If the emperor is dissatisfied, he will willingly hand over the Xiangquan and retire and go home. Unfortunately, the emperor did not understand Prince Pei because of some of the grievances he said in the past, which caused all kinds of misunderstandings. Otherwise, why did this happen?"

This statement can be very confusing.

The reason why Liu Jingxian was found was that Li Zhi was vaguely worried that the court would be completely controlled by Wu Zetian and deliberately promoted the candidates. However, the final result was not what Li Zhi thought. Whether Guo Zhengyi, Guo Taiju, Cen Changqian, Wei Xuantong, or Liu Jingxian, they were not very experienced. Their character was not bad, but because of their qualifications and ability to read, they were bewitched by Pei Yan, and were actually used by Wu Zetian by Pei Yan. On the contrary, although the weak Xue Yuanchao was threatened by Wu Zetian and worshipped under Wu Zetian's pomegranate skirt, he was very loyal to Li Zhi.

At this time, it is better to go to Xue Yuanchao than to find Liu Jingxian.

It cannot be said that Liu Jing was thinking first, but the fact was also his inner thoughts. This suggestion also caused different results.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, his head was dizzy, and he also felt that it was the case. So he said, "You tell me that Pei Qingjin saw it."

"Here." Liu Jing left first, and Pei Yan was brought in later.

After Li Zhi waited for him to meet him, he asked, "Pei Qing, I have always admired you very much. But before I died, I couldn't understand your heart. What kind of person would you be?"

Finally, he was willing to consider the problem from the opposite perspective, but it was too late, and his current head could not clearly explain the clues.

"Your Majesty, I am not loyal to you, not the emperor, but the Tang Dynasty's society. My heart is in the sky and can be expressed."

"But why is my son very disgusted with you?"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty and I am unwilling to help him, so the emperor is very disgusted with me. What can I do? I can't fight and can't lead a minister like Liu Yu. Er Wu is not a relative of the outside world, so I can't be Wang Mang and Emperor Wen of Sui. The emperor... Your Majesty, black and white will be distinguished."

This is another confusing thing. It is not a relative of the foreigner, and does not know how to be a Quan minister who controls the court. In history, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Huo Guang, Sima Lun, later Wang Anshi, Cai Jing, Qin Hui, Jia Sidao, Zhang Juzheng, Wei Yuanzhong, etc., are not foreigner, and most of them cannot fight. These people have literati, hu people, eunuchs, good people, and heroes, but they all control the court, leaving the emperor helpless.

Besides, Pei Yan had a good foundation to be Quanchen at this time. The only thing that was in trouble was Li Wei, which was his thought.

Li Zhi was confused again, and said, "I handed over the affairs to you. Can you be competent?"

"I am frightened and uneasy, but Your Majesty has entrusted me to do it well. Before the Emperor comes back, I must make this country safe."

"That's good. You are like four edicts for me. The first thing is to let Di Renjie be the Minister of Personnel and the Third Secretariat."

If he was not si, he would compete with his son for the spring. Once si, he would pave the way for his son. Di Renjie was in the past and his witty and changeable. The Minister of Personnel was the chief minister of the Ministry of Personnel and served as prime minister. It was much more realistic than the Minister of Revenue and served as prime minister.

Pei Yan did not take it seriously. No matter how powerful a person is, no matter how high a job he is, he must have a group of people under his command to put his post into practice. Even if Di Renjie is the prime minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he will not have much hinderment to him. He replied without hesitation: "Hey, I will immediately plan it."

"The second edict, I will send a quick horse to the Western Regions to issue an edict to Honger, asking him to return to Beijing to preside over the country. It doesn't matter if the Western Regions are corrupt, it is not the place where the people of the country are confidant and it is not very harmful. You can deal with it slowly in the future. But the people of the country cannot say that there is no king."

"Here." At this time, Pei Yan frowned. But his brows instantly dispersed. At this time, he went to the Western Regions, with ice and snow, and the road was not easy to walk. There was a lot of room for cāo to do. The emperor was fighting vigorously, so he couldn't worry about his heart at this time, right!

Li Zhi also thought of it and said, "It took a long time to go to the Western Regions. I have entrusted the affairs to Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao and Liu Rengui, and Jun Daquan is temporarily handed over to the Queen Mother for handling."

"Here." Pei Yan replied in his mouth, his pen and ink were constantly in his hand, but when he wrote this edict, he deliberately missed two words, and temporarily turned into handing over the Daquan of Junzhong to the empress dowager for execution. Two words were missing, and it was a thousand miles away. After writing, Li Zhi said: "Read."

Pei Yan read the edict again, but Li Zhi did not notice the difference in the middle. He nodded with satisfaction, then took Pei Yan's hand and said, "Liu Rengui is old, Xue Yuanchao has a cowardly personality, so I will leave it to you."

"Your Majesty," Pei Yan sobbed softly, but there was no tears in his eyes.

After explaining the funeral in one breath, Li Zhi closed his eyes and his hands became cold for a while.

When the news came out, everyone in Luoyang was shocked. The emperor was so angry that he would be the emperor. However, the emperor was far away in the Western Regions. What should the country do? It seems that this situation has never happened in history.
