Chapter 804: Fighting alone
Chu Suiliang looked at Changsun Wuji with inquiring eyes.
Changsun Wuji sighed softly and said lightly: "This is not the worst result!"
After saying that, he walked out first.
Li Bi was waiting outside the palace all the time, and suddenly saw Li Ji being helped by two eunuchs and walked out. He was so scared that he rushed forward, "Brother, what are you?"
Li Ji shook his head and said, "I've been having an old problem. I'll take it home quickly and take medicine."
"oh!"
When Li Bi heard this, he felt relieved and quickly supported Li Ji's carriage and left.
As the saying goes, you, Chu Suiliang, have Zhang Liang's plan, and he, Li Ji, also, has passed the wall ladder.
Li Ji was also a cunning person, so he was unwilling to be sold inside. If he stayed there, there were only two possibilities: either support or oppose it, and it was impossible to be neutral, because after Chu Suiliang said that he would not speak, he would become Sun Wuji's side without saying anything. The only neutral choice was to leave here.
If he is neutral, it will naturally be a good thing for Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji is worried that he will stand on Li Zhi's side.
Suddenly, a person came out of a corner next to him. It was Han Yi. He looked at the departing carriage and frowned.
Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and Yu Zhining came to Liangyi Hall and saw Li Zhi sitting alone.
As soon as his eyes were touched, Li Zhi was extremely nervous.
But the three of them were very calm. After all, when facing Li Zhi, they had an absolute advantage in their hearts and strengths, and they went forward and bowed.
Li Zhi glanced at him and knew in advance that Li Ji had run away, so he had no choice. At least Li Ji is still neutral at the moment. You can still ask him for accusation. If Li Ji gets angry and runs to Changsun Wuji, you can't continue playing happily.
"Three dear friends, please sit down."
Li Zhi had no expression on his face and stretched out his hand, but when he looked closely, his hands were still trembling.
Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining and Chu Suiliang sat down.
This is definitely the most high-end meeting of the Tang Dynasty, and it also kicked off the decisive battle.
From this we can see that the true top duel is not like the ones performed on TV, intrigue and secretly stumbling. It is all things that women play, just like Wu Meiniang is playing with those methods now and cannot be on the table. The decisive battle at this level is comparable to strength. Without strength, everything is a cloud.
However, when the two armies faced each other, Li Zhi really felt that he was fighting alone, but now that things have come to this point, there is no way to go. He said straight to the point: "The queen has no son, Wu Zhaoyi has a son. I want to make Wu Zhaoyi the queen now, I wonder what the three dear ministers think?"
It's very direct, and it's all at this level. Or are there any and nothing, and it's useless. Let's talk about it. Moreover, regarding the establishment of Wu Meiniang as the queen, Li Zhi only told Changsun Wuji that it was the spoken at the family banquet. This is the first time to talk about this on a formal occasion, which is very necessary.
Changsun Wuji did not say anything. In fact, he never opposed Li Zhi from beginning to end. He had said to Yang and Xu Jingzong, but he had never expressed his opinion to Li Zhi because if he had conflicted with Li Zhi in person, it would be a big problem. He was a minister entrusting his orphan, his uncle, and the first person in the dynasty. Until the last moment, he would not choose to go to war with Li Zhi head-on.
Yu Zhining is timid and afraid of things, and Chu Suiliang has already expressed his opinion just now, so it is up to Chu Suiliang to tell you.
As the saying goes, if you raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while, Chu Suiliang, who was full of confidence, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is from a famous family, and the late emperor personally married him. When the late emperor was about to die, he put the hand of your Majesty and the queen in his hand and said, "I am a pair of beautiful sons and wives, and I am entrusting you to you. This is still in my ears. Your Majesty is also there at that time. Have you ever said a word wrong? But now the queen has never heard of it, so how can I be abolished! I dare not follow Your Majesty and violate the order of the late emperor."
Li Zhi was twitching his eyebrows, and he was very displeased. He annoyed Chu Suiliang often used Li Shimin to teach him a lesson. When Li Shimin was there, he had been taught a lesson so badly that he almost got scared of mental illness. Now that Li Shimin has passed away, do you need to keep Li Shimin all day long? Now I, Li Zhi, are your emperor! He said: "Your dear words are bad. The empress has no children. There are three unfilial piety. It is great if you have no descendants. How can you say that you have never heard of it?"
Chu Suiliang knew that Li Zhi could use this as a matter. He had prepared this for a long time and said slowly: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. According to the "Book of the Great Dai Li", there is a saying that a woman is seven times gone. One is that she does not obey her parents, which is because she is against her virtue; the other is that she has no son, which is her peerlessness; the third is that she is lustful, which is her chaotic family; the fourth is that she is jealous, which is that she is chaotic family; the fifth is that she is that she is not able to share the same fate; the sixth is that she is talking too much, which is that she is divorced from her relatives; the seventh is that she is burglary, which is the opposite of her. This includes no son, but this is that she is not a son in the mouth of Your Majesty.
The second half of the article explains in detail that the 'no son' cannot be determined until the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the queen is only twenty-five. Your Majesty said that the empress has no son, which is too early. This example has been included in the law of our Tang Dynasty. There is also provision that even if we have not given birth to a child in the destiny of heaven, as long as we have been filial and sent to our parents for the death of our parents, such a wife cannot be born. The empress originally sent to Emperor Taizong of Tang."
The ancients still protected marriage very much, and it could also be said to protect women. This woman had to be fifty years old and had no children, so her husband could divorce her wife. But what else can she have to divorce? She is fifty years old, but in fact, unilateral divorce is not allowed. But then again, divorce was also very common in the Tang Dynasty, and women were still a vulnerable group.
To reason, Chu Suiliang is called second, and no one dares to be the first. At this time, it reflects the use of reading, because the ancients admire the ancients, you have to quote the classics to convince others. Han Yi’s greatness is a fallacy and a loophole. If you want him to reason with Chu Suiliang, he can’t explain it.
Li Zhi looked at Chu Suiliang talking unhappily, and said unhappily: "I am the emperor, how can I be like ordinary people? My descendants are related to the Tang Dynasty."
There is a threat in the words. I am the emperor, and the law has something to do with me. Are you kidding me with the law?
Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, so you should set an example. Doing this is not in accordance with etiquette and law. If Your Majesty does this, the people will definitely strive to follow the example. By then, our Tang Dynasty ritual system will collapse and disasters will arise. Please also ask Your Majesty to think about the country and the country and to stop this thought."
Seeing that Li Zhi was so tough, his tone was eased a little more, and he said, "You should not be bound by etiquette and law in everything. If you just stick to the rules, how can you make progress?"
Chu Suiliang said: "That towering tree can be pruned for its beauty and leaves, but it cannot dig its roots for its beauty. Even if it is a towering tree, it will definitely die, and some things cannot be changed. Moreover, the queen was identified by the late emperor. If Your Majesty abolished the queen for this crime, how can you convince the public? How can Your Majesty ignore the country and filial piety with his own selfish desires?"
This old guy didn't get into the air. Li Zhi was angry and glared at Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang was famous for his fierceness and was not afraid at all, and he also looked at the emperor.
This old man! Li Zhi cursed inwardly, glanced at him from left to right, and the two old men Changsun Wuji and Yu Zhining lowered their eyelids and remained silent. They did not speak, which meant that they supported Chu Suiliang. If they did not support him, they would definitely oppose Chu Suiliang.
There were only four people here, and three of them opposed it. He could not say that Chu Suiliang would be boring if he continued to talk about it. Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I am a little tired, you guys should step down first."
A look of pride flashed in Chu Suiliang's eyes.
"The old minister sue him!"
The three of them saluted and retreated.
This first round of confrontation ended with Li Zhi's complete defeat, and the process was very fast.
But this is just a tentative head-on confrontation between the two sides.
In fact, Chu Suiliang had to stick to three points: "from a famous family", "asked by the late emperor" and "never heard of it."
This Queen Wang came from a famous family and was well-educated. She was a little cold-hearted and had a young lady's temper, but she could not do anything that would violate the morality of a woman. After all, she had received a good education. There is still a certain reason for why she chose a famous family to be a queen. The only thing that is criticized is that she had no birth. Li Zhi could only use a little to explain the matter and could not find any other mistakes. As for the technique of strangling the princess and disgusting victory, there is no specific evidence to prove that it was done by the queen. If you really investigate it, you will definitely find out some of the things.
Therefore, Li Zhi did not dare to propose it. Once it could not be proved, he would not even have a chance to turn the tables.
"Chu Suiliang, you old man, I can't spare you."
Li Zhi, who returned to the harem, began to go crazy and curse.
Wu Meiniang was waiting for the news, but when she heard the scolding, her heart fell down and hurriedly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, who is so angry about you?"
"Who else can be there? Isn't it just that old man Chu Suiliang will rely on his seniority and rely on his studies for a few years to ignore anyone. He is simply too bullying."
Li Zhi just endured the attack and was afraid to have sex. Now that he has reached his own territory, how could he still bear it? He scolded Chu Suiliang from the beginning to the end.
Wu Meiniang was very disappointed at first, but when she heard Li Zhi's scolding, she couldn't help but ignite hope. Li Zhi scolded him, but in fact she had only one meaning, that is, Chu Suiliang did not give him face, which highlighted the fall of imperial power, and Li Zhi would definitely not give up. He quickly poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't be angry, drink a cup of tea first."
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Meiniang, took the teacup, looked at it, and couldn't drink it. He put the teacup back on the table, sat down, and felt frustrated alone. He was embarrassed to be angry with others in this matter, and it was too boring.
After seeing this, Wu Meiniang reached out and held Li Zhi's hand and said, "Your Majesty calms down. It's all my fault. It's because of you. Your Majesty is so angry. I hope Your Majesty will face it together."
Li Zhi felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, patted the back of her hand and said, "How can you blame you? If you want to blame, blame that old man Chu Suiliang."
When Wu Meiniang heard him, she scolded Chu Suiliang. She had obviously made an appointment with four people and said curiously: "Who doesn't know what the uncle, Zuo Pushe, and Sikong said?"
Li Zhi was stunned and sighed: "Neither uncle nor Zuo Pushe made a sound, but they must support Chu Suiliang. As for Li Ji, huh, I asked myself that he was good at treating him, but I never expected that he would retreat in the face of trouble and pretend to be sick and slip away."
Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "I think Your Majesty should not blame Sikong, at least he is not on Chu Suiliang's side."
Li Zhi said: "But I really need his help at this moment."
Wu Meiniang knew nothing about it, but the problem was that Li Ji seemed unwilling to interfere. If you force him, you might force him to Changsun Wuji. This matter became very subtle and said, "Your Majesty, let's discuss it with the Censor and the others."
Li Zhi sighed: "Chu Suiliang is famous for being eloquent in the court. No one in the court can compete with him, and I see that they have no choice."
Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up and she said, "It may not be true of my opinion."
Li Zhi said in confusion: "What do you say?"
Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty has forgotten that there is someone who has repeatedly left Chu Suiliang speechless."
Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Are you talking about Han Yi?"
Wu Meiniang nodded.
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said distressedly: "But Han Yi's qualifications are still very low and his official position is too low. How can he be qualified to sit with his uncle and others to discuss matters?"
Wu Meiniang frowned. She had always wanted to promote Han Yi, but she was opposed by all the ministers in the court. Now she couldn't use it. She thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, Your Majesty must meet them and discuss how to deal with it."
