As soon as this statement came out, it was like a stone dropped into deep water, which immediately aroused the consternation of the officials.
Pass?
How could such a big event be treated like child's play?
Moreover, Li Shimin is still strong and strong, so there is no need to pass the position!
Even if there is, it should be discussed with the ministers in advance and announced later when the time is almost up.
How can it be as ridiculous as now!
Before the officials could speak to dissuade him, Li Zhi stood up.
"My son, I accept the decree!"
Then, Li Shimin also stood up and gave up the dragon chair directly.
Then, Li Shimin walked towards the outside of the hall as if he couldn't see anyone.
Wang De didn't understand the situation either. Since last night, he felt like Li Shimin had changed.
And all this happened after meeting Li Zhi.
Having said that, Wang De had no choice but to help Li Shimin leave quickly.
Before Li Shimin left the main hall, Li Zhi suddenly sat on the dragon chair.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"The dragon chair is the seat of the emperor. Isn't it inappropriate for the prince to sit down like this?"
"Prince, get up quickly, otherwise I will definitely give you a copy!"
Wei Zheng, the most upright among the officials, said this even more.
Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"My beloved, are you deaf?"
"The Emperor has just passed on the throne to me. Are you going to resist the decree?"
At the end of the sentence, Li Zhi slammed the armrest and shouted angrily: "Come here, put the few people who just made rude remarks into a prison and punish them by punishing the nine tribes!"
"Here!"
A group of soldiers rushed in and directly escorted a group of ministers out.
Having learned from the past, he and the ministers also kept their mouths shut.
Just kidding, this is the implicated nine tribes! It can be called the biggest punishment!
Furthermore, Li Shimin said it himself, and no one forced him. No matter how bizarre it is, everyone has to accept it!
Besides, when Li Shimin took office, things were out of the norm. Maybe this was the characteristic of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the officials no longer thought about anything, and quickly knelt down to Li Zhi and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Li Zhi enjoyed this very much and even burst into laughter.
Changsun Wuji was also one of the people who shouted along, but he discovered many strange things about Li Zhi.
The first is the hands.
From the beginning of the fight, Li Zhi's left hand was always in his arms, as if he was holding something.
Even the exposed right hand has something unusual about it.
Changsun Wuji was one of the few people who saw Li Zhi curling his fingers. He keenly noticed that Li Shimin announced his decree only after Li Zhi finished curling his fingers.
Secondly, there are the eyes.
Changsun Wuji faintly saw the golden light shining in Li Zhi's eyes.
Although purple energy comes from the east and golden light shines are the highest words to praise the emperor, if they are really reflected in people, it would be a bit weird.
Could it be that he has been possessed by evil spirits?
Changsun Wuji was extremely anxious when he thought about this possibility.
It's not that he is very loyal, but that he is worried that his position of power will disappear.
At the subsequent court meeting, Li Zhi arranged the enthronement ceremony and issued tasks to all ministries.
From what Li Zhi said, he wanted to hold a super grand ceremony that was unprecedented and unprecedented.
The cost of this grand ceremony was at least millions of taels of silver.
Such extravagant, corrupt, and wasteful measures naturally aroused strong opposition from a large number of ministers.
Their fate was very tragic. They were all taken to the prison to wait for the execution of the Nine Tribes.
In the end, no one dared to speak anymore.
They finally saw that the new master of the Tang Dynasty was a tyrant much more cruel than Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty!
Many people even sighed in their hearts, lamenting that the Tang Dynasty was about to be destroyed.
After the court meeting, many ministers approached Changsun Wuji and wanted him to go find Li Shimin and ask what was going on.
Needless to say to the ministers, Changsun Wuji himself wanted to see Li Shimin.
He is now almost 100% sure that Li Zhi is absolutely abnormal, almost like a ghost.
Maybe Li Shimin has some solution.
Ever since, Changsun Wuji took everyone's hope and went to see Li Shimin.
"Lord Changsun, please come back. Your Majesty will not see anyone."
Wang De gave the answer with a wry smile.
Until this moment, Wang De was very uncomfortable. He did not expect that Li Shimin would give up his position so suddenly.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt even more strange.
He asked Wang De and wanted to know why Li Shimin suddenly became like this.
Seeing no one around, Wang De secretly told Changsun Wuji the truth.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look shocked when he learned that Li Shimin became like this after meeting Li Zhi.
"No! It must be Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's evil spirits possessing them. They are here to take revenge on His Majesty!"
The reason why Changsun Wuji said this was because Li Shimin used to have nightmares every day, always dreaming about Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji's dead soul demanding his life.
Li Shimin even called Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong to watch the door.
The evil spirit of these two fierce generals was so strong that they drove away the dead souls, allowing Li Shimin to have a good sleep.
But now, Yuchi Gong is expelling the Huns in the north, Qin Qiong is attacking Goguryeo, and neither of them is in Chang'an. I am afraid that the ghosts of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have found an opportunity!
Changsun Wuji's words also shocked Wang De.
He hurriedly said: "Lord Changsun, I'm afraid you are right. I just want to say that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to have suddenly changed into a different person. It turns out that he is possessed by a ghost!"
Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "In my opinion, the one who fell in love with the prince must be Li Jiancheng, and the one who fell in love with His Majesty is Li Yuanji."
"My lord, this matter is not trivial. You must not tell anyone about it, let alone those two evil spirits. Otherwise, your majesty and the prince will definitely be in trouble!"
Wang De obviously understood the importance of the matter and nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that Lord Changsun has a way to deal with it?"
Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "It's a coincidence. I made friends with a Taoist priest a few days ago. I saw that he had some abilities, so I entertained him well. I originally planned to let him help find my son.
He is a lonely soul, but now it seems that he may be of great use."
Hearing this, Wang De also believed that this must be the way of survival given by heaven, and repeatedly begged Changsun Wuji to rescue Li Shimin and Li Zhi.
Changsun Wuji agreed wholeheartedly, and then hurriedly left the palace and returned to his residence.
As soon as he returned home, he grabbed his servant and asked him where the Taoist priest was, intending to plead for mercy.
