The first thousand one hundred and forty-five chapters abdicate
"mean!"
After seeing off the little ladies, Xiao Wuyi immediately looked at Han Yi squintly.
Han Yi smiled, put his hands on her slender waist and said, "What a despicable thing? This is the husband and wife follow her, or it can be said that the wife follows her. It can be seen that we are a pair made by heaven and earth."
It can also be said that mutual use!
Of course, Xiao Wuyi would not admit to using each other and hummed softly: "Don't bully me ignorant. You are clearly using me and want women to teach at Zhaoyi College."
Han Yi smiled and said, "That's just an advertisement, but I really want to build a library for you. This is not within the planning. It was decided temporarily. If you don't believe it, you can ask the queen for verification."
Xiao Wuyi said suspiciously: "Why?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Because you want to read a book!"
Xiao Wuyi felt very sweet in his heart when he heard this. A sweet smile rose from the corner of his mouth and said, "You can talk sweet words."
"This is sincere. I plan to name the library after you!"
"Do it—take it seriously?" Xiao Wuyi said in shock.
"Of course, let alone a mere library, even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you with my own hands."
"Then I want the stars!"
"ah?"
"Are you lied to me?"
"When-of course not!"
Han Yi was sweating coldly. It was sunny, and it was too sensational! He slapped the fat man in the face and said, "Isn't it just a star? I will definitely pick it for you."
Xiao Wuyi pursed her lips and smiled. Even though she knew it was impossible, she felt very sweet and said, "But the queen wouldn't have any objection to naming the library after me?"
"This is simple, fooling around - uh no, the Royal Library already includes the Queen, she doesn't need to build it anymore. Even if she wants to build it, it can be built at any time. This is just a gift I give you." Han Yi blinked and said, "Are you very touched?"
"Little little!" Xiao Wuyi tilted his pretty face slightly.
But Xiao Wuyi's shy expression was a deadly poison for Han Yi. Looking at his fair and red face and bright cherry lips, he wanted to kiss him.
"Ahem!!"
Suddenly, a cough kept ringing.
Han Yi suddenly turned his head and saw two people standing outside, which were Xiao Rui and Xiao Shouguru's father and son.
"Dad! Big Brother!"
Xiao Wuyi jumped out of Han Yi's embrace like lightning and glared at Han Yi fiercely.
Han Yi didn't think anything was there, and smiled and said, "Father-in-law, brother! You are back!"
"I didn't expect you to be earlier than us!" Xiao Shougui smiled. He really didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so unrestrained.
Han Yi said: "Oh, our Sixth Academy has nothing to do yet, so I'm back early."
Xiao Rui didn't say a word, walked into the hall and sat down.
Xiao Wuyi glanced at Han Yi with a little curiosity.
Han Yi blinked his right eye, and after Xiao Shougui sat down, he sat down with Xiao Wuyi.
Xiao Rui glanced at Han Yi and said, "Han Yi, don't blame me for being too talkative. Sometimes, I think you are a little too aggressive. In fact, you don't need to be so radical. The way of being an official is to focus on perfection!"
Could it be that my husband is in trouble again? I have to ask later! Xiao Wuyi raised his head and said, "Dad, this daughter dare not agree. My husband is humble. If he didn't strive for the best in everything, he would not have the status he is today. He would have been trampled by those nobles long ago."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Rui glared at him with a slanted eye, and Xiao Wuyi immediately fell to his mind, lowering his head, his eyes full of grievances.
Xiao Shougui smiled and said, "Dad, the child thinks Wuyi's words are reasonable. Everything his brother-in-law has obtained through his own struggles. This is also his way of success. If he is asked to change his approach, it will be counterproductive."
Xiao Rui nodded slightly.
"eccentric!"
Xiao Wuyi hummed softly.
Han Yi glanced at his beloved wife and smiled at Xiao Shougui, "Brother, my father-in-law actually cares about me, and I am very grateful. After all, I am still too young and have some things to be thoughtful about. Some people need to advise me. I will remember my father-in-law's good advice and try to restrain myself as much as possible."
Xiao Rui smiled and nodded and said, "It would be better if you can understand."
A hint of praise flashed in Xiao Shougui's eyes. He gradually understood why Xiao Rui favored Han Yi and said, "But brother-in-law, I have seen your skills today. I never thought that anyone could speak the great-talking Grand Secretary speechless."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Brother is wrong. In fact, the reason why I can win repeatedly is fairness. Buddhism says that sentient beings are equal, and their speeches are all based on the perspective of unfairness. Therefore, the truth must be on my side. But no one dares to say these words before, and those who dare to say them are all vested interests."
When Xiao Rui heard Buddhism, he immediately felt it made sense. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's reasonable!"
Xiao Shougui and Xiao Wuyi looked at each other and thought to themselves that it would not take long before Han Yi would be far better than them in his father's heart.
Xiao Rui suddenly said: "Han Yi, have you heard about the East Palace recently?"
Even my father-in-law knew about it. It seemed that Xu Jingzong and the others were already impatient! Han Yi nodded and said, "I heard a little."
Xiao Rui said: "Then what are you going to do?"
Han Yi said: "This is the general trend and it is a foregone conclusion. There is no need to worry about it."
Xiao Rui nodded.
On the other side, Li Zhi returned to the palace and habitually went to Liangyi Hall to review the memorials.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the prince this morning!"
Zhang Desheng handed a memorial to Li Zhi.
"Prince?"
Li Zhi frowned slightly, took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but frown. After reading it, he closed the memorial and handed it back to Zhang Desheng: "Take it and burn it!"
Zhang Desheng was stunned at first, then hurriedly took the memorial, "The villain obeys the order!"
After Zhang Desheng left, Li Zhi had no intention of reviewing the memorials. He lay half on the couch, supported his head with one hand, and fell into deep thought.
It turned out that this memorial was requested by Prince Li Zhong to resign from the position of Prince. Li Zhong was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was originally the puppet in Changsun Wuji and the others. When Queen Wang died tragically, Li Zhong was so scared that he was seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, he lived a life of fear and fearless every day, like walking on thin ice, and he had no relatives in the palace. In the outer court, all the ministers who supported him left. They were always frightened and were already frightened. There were only a few ministers from the East Palace around him.
Therefore, when Dong Ye told the Crown Prince Li Zhong about his investigation by the Censorate, Li Zhong was so scared that he almost didn't wet his pants, which meant that the other party was ready to depose him, and he no longer had the ability to fight back. However, he was afraid that his ministers were even more afraid than him. They all knew that the position of the crown prince would be handed over to Wu Meiniang's son sooner or later. Instead of being driven down, demoted or killed, it would be better to instigate the crown prince to resign. As long as Li Zhong did not sit in the seat of the crown prince, the threat to the queen would be greatly reduced, and they might spare everyone's life.
The officials in the entire Eastern Palace were only asking for life, and there were even people from Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion.
Li Zhong was already very scared. The people around him were furious and quickly reported that he was in poor health and was stupid and could not be the prince. Dad, you should ask someone else for a clever one.
At the same time, Xu Jingzong took the lead in submitting a memorial with a group of his followers, requesting Li Zhi to depose the current crown prince and make the Age King Li Hong the crown prince. In fact, this time the matter was led by him. Obviously, Minister Xu Jingzong also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to promote his own people.
The main reason is that Li Zhongdu was not born to Empress Wang, his biological mother was just a palace maid, and his status was humble, let alone the current queen, who was definitely not the eldest son. This name was wrong, his words were not right, and the people in the world were dissatisfied. In addition, there were various reasons listed, and all the hats were placed on the crown prince's head.
However, all the memorials that went up were sank to the sea and did not even react at all. The court meeting was temporarily cancelled because of Li Zhi's discomfort.
But no matter what, this matter suddenly became a mess.
Xu Jingzong and the others did not care about so many things, and continued to submit memorials and insisted on establishing another crown prince. Moreover, more and more people reported memorials. This crown prince is the future. Everyone knows that this is the general trend. If you don’t support it, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, which will be the time to settle the score in the autumn. The crown prince Li Zhong was also submitting memorials, almost one a day, and four memorials were posted in a row, and he will definitely not be the crown prince.
At this time, Wu Meiniang was surprisingly quiet and sat firmly in the palace because he knew that this was a foregone conclusion and no one could reverse it.
Xiao Mansion!
"Husband, the memorial has been written, please take a look."
Xiao Wuyi handed a memorial to Han Yi.
Han Yi took the memorial over, frowned, and seemed very struggling.
Xiao Wuyi said curiously: "Husband, what are you thinking?"
Han Yi still seemed hesitant and said, "Wuyi, please write another memorial for me!"
On the evening, Li Zhi, who had been showing up for a long time, finally summoned the important officials in the court to Liangyi Hall, and even Gao Luxing, who had been "restoring" at home, came. Xu Jingzong and the others knew that Gao Luxing came here just to act as the spokesperson for Changsun Wuji. After all, they still had power in the court, but they were not worried about this because they knew that Changsun Wuji was determined not to emerge in this matter.
Li Zhi said straight to the point: "Today I call on all my dear friends to come, it's about the prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong stood up impatiently. Just as he was about to speak, Li Zhi suddenly raised his hand and said first: "Xu Aiqing, please sit down first, and listen to me."
“Yes—Yes!”
Xu Jingzong forced himself to swallow the words he said, almost without any distractions. He nodded awkwardly and sat down again, with some uneasiness in his eyes. This is a little weird.
Li Zhi said very seriously: "Recently, the prince has given me four memorials in a row, saying that he has been weak and sick since childhood, and even has a little bit of strength in his daily study. He is afraid that he will not be able to inherit the throne in the future. For the sake of our Tang Dynasty, he hopes that I can establish a new crown prince. What do you think?"
Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others couldn't help but look at each other. What does this mean? We also want to say this. Why did Your Majesty say it before?
A strange light flashed in Han Yi's eyes. Old fox, old fox, you are so awesome!
Li Ji, who has always been taciturn, suddenly spoke first: "Your Majesty, there are countless wise men in all dynasties, but few of them can abdicate and give in to the wise. I think that the prince has such a mind, which is truly a blessing for the people of the world and the country, and it is really rare. His filial piety is a testament to heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Therefore, the old minister thinks that why your majesty does not fulfill his wish and establish a new crown prince is also an example for other princes. I hope they can live in harmony."
Xu Jingzong and the others suddenly realized.
If Li Zhi asked them to speak first, they would definitely be picking Li Zhong’s bad words. They would have to find some reasons, and these reasons should be enough to get Li Zhong to leave the East Palace. Needless to say, the sewage must be poured all over the ground.
But after Li Zhi said this, he went from firing a squid to requesting an automatic demotion. The two are very different.
It can be seen that Li Zhi also knew that Li Zhong could not be the crown prince because the ministers in power now all opposed Li Zhong. Since ancient times, the first thing the emperor considered to establish a crown prince was not whether the crown prince was wise, but whether there were ministers in the court to support the crown prince. If they did not support it, then no matter how wise the crown prince was, it would be impossible to establish it. Then, the emperor closed his eyes, what should the crown prince do?
Li Zhi’s meaning is very simple. You can depose the crown prince, but don’t think about killing everyone. No matter what, he is also my son.
Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others knew it well, and they all agreed with Li Ji's intentions and praised Prince Li Zhong hard. The atmosphere was completely different from what they expected.
