After Li Zhi fainted, in order to establish a regime centered on Wu Meiniang and the others who supported Li Hong were transferred to the surrounding prefectures and counties to appease the people.

But it does not mean that they have lost power, because they still support the prince. This is not that they have been in the wrong team, but that they are too pedantic and do not consider the national situation. Moreover, Li Zhi is still alive.

They didn't say they were discouraged.

But they did not expect that the war had not ended yet, and Wu Meiniang suddenly summoned them back to Chang'an.

Liangyi Hall.

"See the Queen!"

"Please be exempted from gifts, please sit down quickly."

Zhang Wenguan and the others sat down, and everyone's eyes were full of confusion. They really didn't understand why Wu Meiniang was in a hurry to see them.

Wu Meiniang looked tired and sighed softly: "I know you must blame me in your heart."

Liu Xiangdao hurriedly said, "Empress, I will never dare to think so."

"Liu Zhongshu, please listen to me."

Wu Meiniang raised her hand and interrupted him, saying, "Actually, I can understand that you blame me. You did not make any mistakes at that time, but I had to do it at that time. But I have worked with you for some time. I know your talents better than anyone else. I was thinking that after the war is over, I will immediately transfer you back to Chang'an. I still have to rely on you to govern the country."

Zhang Wenguan and the others were both excited and guilty as they said this.

At this point, they also realized their mistakes. If it weren't for Wu Meiniang's toughness, Zhongyuan might have really fallen apart. It was precisely because Wu Meiniang was very strong and firm that everyone was united by her side. If it were the prince, the situation would be really not necessarily.

But Wu Meiniang also took the initiative to say this, which made them all very ashamed.

Zhang Wenguan stood up and said, "I offended the Queen at the beginning, so please forgive me."

"Please forgive me, Queen."

Hao Chujun and the others also stood up to salute.

"I dare not, I dare not." Wu Meiniang waved her hand quickly and said, "Actually, you are already the ministers of the Pure Land, what else can you do? Everything you do is for Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the Crown Prince. But I had to do that at that time! I have no idea in my heart. I also hope that you can understand me and not blame me."

As far as he goes, what else can Zhang Wenguan and the others say? He is so ashamed that he can't even raise his head. He feels that he is narrow-minded and is not even as good as a woman.

Wu Meiniang suddenly turned red in her eyes and she choked and said, "Actually, I originally planned to call you back after the war is over, but now I have to call you all right away."

When Zhang Wenguan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly raised their heads and looked at Wu Meiniang, feeling a little bad in their hearts.

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes closed gently, and two lines of clear tears came. "In fact, His Majesty had already passed away a few months ago. The prince was too sad and returned to the East Palace to rest. However, the war was urgent at that time, so I could only block this news to avoid disrupting the morale of the army."

In fact, Li Zhi was so anxious that he had a stroke directly, so he was paralyzed throughout his body. Because his disease had a lot to do with hypertension, he could not be too tired, especially stimulating. At that time, the black clouds were pressing against the city and wanted to destroy it. Li Zhi had reached his limit and could not bear the collapse of the sky and the earth, and normal people might not be able to hold on. There was no way to do this disease in later generations, not to mention now. In fact, Wu Meiniang and Han Yi knew that Li Zhi would definitely be in short order, including the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor said it very tactfully. In fact, Li Zhi himself wanted to persevere, otherwise he might have died at that time, but this disease could not be solved by his will, so he died.

The wise ruler of the generation, Li Zhi, died young when he was only in his forties.

However, this is by no means a bad thing, because since ancient times, many wise monarchs have lost their moral integrity. This has been the case since Qin Shihuang. Later, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Wu Zetian, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and later Qianlong, all had a very good virtue and began to mess around in their later years. If Emperor Taizong of Tang lived to his eighties, he would probably be Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Emperor Taizong of Tang actually became more extravagant in his later years.

This is true for people. When they are young, they are ambitious and energetic, and they govern the country in an orderly manner. However, when they are old, if they don’t have enough energy, they will definitely be greedy for pleasure. Enjoyment does not require energy.

Ancient wise monarchs should have died young. Living too long is not good for everyone and the country, because the emperor has no retirement system, but he must hold power in his hands. When his energy is not enough to control this supreme power, he either kills all the ministers who can threaten him. I am weak, I will make you weaker, or put power in the hands of eunuchs.

"ah."

This sound came from Zhang Wen's throat.

"His Majesty!"

After a while, Shangguan Yi suddenly exclaimed in grief and knelt on the ground, tears falling like rain.

Liu Xiangdao, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun and others also burst into tears.

The lifelong beliefs of these old scholars were all loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and they were really sad from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Meiniang also covered her face and sobbed gently. There was actually a performance element here.

Her feelings for Li Zhi are actually quite complicated. Of course, she loved Li Zhi, which is beyond doubt. However, because of the world and the crisis, they began to become more politically beneficial than mutual love. Li Zhi re-engaged Wu Meiniang not for love, but for political interests. Another thing that can be seen very intuitively is that Princess Taiping and Li Zhe were not born.

Wu Meiniang is very rational and sad.

After a while, Wu Meiniang choked and said, "Everyone, now is not a time for sadness. This country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Zhang Wenguan and the others were stunned and thought to themselves, was it her thinking?

No wonder you old scholars are fooled by Han Yi! Wu Meiniang could see at a glance what they were thinking. They were just thinking. You said so many good things just now, most of whom we want us to support you. He said: "Before your majesty, you have already issued a will and decided to pass the throne to the prince. Now the war is about to end, and my mission has been completed, and I should hand over this power to the prince. I am eager to summon a few people today, hoping that you will assist the prince in the future to repay His Majesty's kindness to you."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi let out a long sigh and hurriedly bowed: "Please rest assured Queen, I will do my best to assist the prince."

Zhang Wenguan and the others immediately made a vow.

Wu Meiniang nodded gently and said, "I will feel relieved if you are here."

As she said that, her body suddenly trembled.

"Queen!"

The palace maid on the side hurried forward, supporting Wu Meiniang, and looked at Zhang Wenguan and the others excitedly, "You ministers are really useless. You have to let the queen deal with everything. Do you know that the queen has been sick for a long time."

"shut up!"

Wu Meiniang glared at the palace maid angrily and said, "You slave dare to be arrogant here."

"I dare not." The palace maid said in panic.

Zhang Wenguan didn't blame the palace maid at all. He also thought she was right. Her husband died and her son was sick again. She was carrying such a heavy burden on her shoulders. Not to mention that she was still a woman. How difficult it was.

Liu Xiangdao said with a guilty look on his face: "Queen, please take care of your health."

They are very guilty about Wu Meiniang now. The queen is really nothing to say. She can definitely be comparable to Empress Dugu and Empress Changsun. The two queens can only be said to be a virtuous supporter, but Wu Meiniang is not only a virtuous supporter, but also an excellent ruler. She still led the Tang Dynasty and won this battle, and then immediately retired and handed over the power to the crown prince, which is awe-inspiring!

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Wu Meiniang waved her hand and said with a tired face: "I will restore your authority now, and the next thing will depend on you."

Zhang Wenguan and the others bowed to the ground and swear to ensure that they would complete the task.

Wu Meiniang leaned on the couch tiredly and said, "You guys go back."

"I'm leaving."

After Zhang Wenguan and the others retreated.

A glimmer flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes, and she sat up again, looking a little dejected, "Now all the initiative is in his hands."

Of course, Han Yi asked her to do this, which caught her off guard. She never expected Han Yi to let her do this, transfer Zhang Wenguan and the others back, and let her retreat to advance.

If she didn't ask for it, she could ignore it, but whether she wanted to or not, she would have to obey Han Yi. Now Han Yi is the commander of the three armies and holds military power, and the prince is destined to be the destiny. If she doesn't do this and faces Han Yi, then Han Yi is very likely to defect to the prince and make a comeback, and she has no choice but to play.

Now that Han Yi is outside, she has no choice but to obey Han Yi. If she does this, at least she will ensure that her queen will not lose her power and show her noble character. Moreover, it can also prevent Han Yi from picking up the benefits of the fisherman. Without absolute certainty, she will not fight with the prince. She is very nervous now because she doesn't know what Han Yi is going to do.

Han Yi is really too cunning. Every move he takes is real and real. It is really hard to guess which move is a false move and which move is a real move.

If Han Yi's plan is to look at it, it should be a vain, because Han Yi's ultimate goal is to help her get to power. But the problem is that in her opinion, fighting the Khitan was also a vain trick, but she didn't expect that it was a solid move, and everything started with the Khitan.

Wu Meiniang, who wanted to cross the river and burn the bridge, really didn't dare to move rashly at this time.

Not to mention winning or losing, she felt very unhappy. Han Yi stuck her so hard that she had always wanted to break free from Han Yi's plan, but Han Yi's plan was like a tight curse. The more you struggle, the tighter you tighter you will be. She can only take one step and see.

The people of Chang'an did not wait for the news of the war ending, but waited for the news of the emperor's death.

This is really a sudden bad news.

The government and the country cried so hard that they were both inside and outside. In fact, the people still loved Li Zhi very much. Li Zhi was definitely a wise monarch. Under his governance, the world was peaceful and the country developed very rapidly. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was beyond doubt that this was a rare good monarch.

However, ordinary people only know how to be sad. As for the impact this may affect them, it may not be big, and they cannot control it.

But there are some people who are not just sad in their hearts. Li Zhi's death indicates the end of an era. What will happen to the next era? In feudal society, the emperor is supreme, and who sits on it is closely related to their interests, and even their lives are at stake.

When the power was transferred, some people would not be killed, and this time the situation was even more special. When Li Zhi died, few people knew about it, and the current situation was also very subtle.

Yuwen’s family!

"elder brother."

"It's He Ruo here!"

Yuwen Xiumi glanced at He Ruohan weakly.

Seeing that Yuwen Xiumi was listless and listless, He Ruohan said, "Is your brother still feeling sad about His Majesty's death?"

"Yeah." Yuwen Xiumi nodded slightly, looked around and ordered the maid beside him and said, "You guys retreat first."

The two maids bowed and retreated.

Yuwen Xiumi glanced at He Ruohan again and said, "He Ruo, in fact, my brother is not entirely worried about His Majesty's affairs."

He Ruohan asked, "What else is there to worry about brother?"

Yuwen Xiumi stumbled twice and suddenly asked, "Who should you say ascend the throne next?"

He Ruohan said: "Of course it's the prince."

Yuwen Xiu sighed, "I know you and I, the prince. He can be said to be respectful to the wise and inferior, and be kind and filial piety are the first priority. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely be a benevolent king."

He Ruohan said: "This is a blessing for the people of the world."

Yuwen Xiumi said: "That's right, but the prince advocates Confucianism. Confucianism looks down on us merchants the most. However, the queen's policy supports our merchants very much. When the court was over, the queen didn't ask us for a penny. Will we be so relaxed if we exchanged it for other monarchs? In addition, you don't think about it. The court now owes 50 million trump sum of national debts, and most of these national debts are bought by our merchants. Of course, I believe that the prince will not be able to rely on the debt, but the prince will definitely be important Confucian scholars as ministers. They look down on us merchants, but those people are greedy for enjoyment, how can they be wronged and come to pay back our money?"

"This is not possible. Brother Han, he supports us!"

"Hey, the emperor is the minister of this day, who can guarantee that the prince will continue to reuse Brother Han? Have you forgotten that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang have come to help?"

"I feel a little scared after hearing what you said." He Ruohan frowned and said, "The war is not over yet. After the war is over, the surrounding areas are full of bad luck, and the court is in debt. The prince's ability can still be able to bear it. The best way is to rely on the debt."

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Isn't that true?"

"well."

The two sighed at the same time.
