He does not have a burly body, and the wrinkles on his face are stained with wind and frost. Even though this old man is no longer as heroic as he used to be, even though he is old and haggard, his movements are still full of that sure and confident demeanor.
It seemed that just by being looked at by his sharp eyes, a sense of trust would rise in my heart.
This once powerful and powerful minister of Zhenguan is still full of personality and charm to this day...
Arriving in the study, Changsun Wuji took off his felt hat, adjusted his clothes a little, bowed his head to the ground, and said in an old and hoarse voice, "I have an audience with Your Highness."
How dare Jin King Li Zhi sit still? He stood up hurriedly, stepped forward, leaned down and held Changsun Wuji's shoulders with both hands to help him up. His mouth was full of sighs: "Why should uncle be so polite? This time I am accompanying my father on an expedition to Liaodong. My uncle is going on an expedition to Liaodong.
My hard work has paid off, so I should pay my respects to my uncle."
Instead, he held one of Changsun Wuji's palms, moved him to his seat, and asked someone to serve him tea. Then he waved his hand and asked the waiter to exit the door, and stood outside the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.
Changsun Wuji naturally did not feel constrained in his duties in front of Li Zhi. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. The hot tea went down his throat and into his abdomen. A warm current rose from the bottom of his heart to dispel the coldness all over his body. He spit out a long sip.
Cool air.
This trip from Liaodong back to Chang'an is thousands of miles away, and it's the middle of winter. The journey is difficult and the weather is freezing. Even a strong young man can't bear such hardship, let alone an old man who is over fifty and usually lives in a dignified manner?
If you don't have a good foundation, you will almost lose half your life...
Li Zhi observed the words, but could not see anything on Changsun Wuji's face, so he had to ask: "I heard that the Eastern Expedition ended hastily, my father was seriously injured, and the army had already traveled all the way back to Guanzhong. But I don't know why my uncle went first.
step?"
This is nonsense. The Guanlong clan launched troops into the city today to remonstrate. Changsun Wuji took the lead in throwing away the Eastern Expedition army and returned to Chang'an. No one knew it in advance. At this moment, he boarded the gate of the Jin Palace... Put everything in one place, Changsun
Wuji's intentions are obvious.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji frowned subconsciously.
How could Li Zhi ask such stupid questions with his intelligence?
Something is not quite right...
Changsun Wuji put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhi, and said slowly: "The reason why I returned to Guanzhong all the way, Your Highness really doesn't know why?"
Li Zhi's young face was full of confusion, and he spread his hands and said: "What my uncle said... you have always been full of tricks and strategies. How can I guess the intention of my uncle's actions? Not only can I not guess, but I also dare not guess.
"
"hehe……"
Changsun Wuji smiled softly, stared at Li Zhi with a pair of old eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you need to hide your clumsiness, Your Highness? Your Majesty's disciples are all among the best, but when it comes to wit and resourcefulness, none of them can surpass Your Highness.
Now that the matter has come to an end, the old minister opened his mouth and said that now the Guanlong families are mobilizing soldiers and civilians to enter the city to carry out military remonstrances, depose the rebellious prince, who has no talent and virtue, and support His Highness to succeed to the throne of the Crown Prince. He will lead hundreds of millions of people to follow His Majesty's footsteps.
With the splendid mountains and rivers managed, it becomes more and more prosperous and dazzling, unparalleled in the world!"
After saying this, he left the table and stood up, bowing his hands to the ground: "Old minister, I sincerely ask Your Highness to succeed to the position of Crown Prince!"
The King of Jin Li Zhi had been eyeing the throne for a long time and wanted to replace him with the crown prince. This time the Guanlong clan clan issued military remonstrances just in time before the Eastern Expedition army returned to Beijing. No one could stop the Guanlong clan clan from deposing the East Palace, and His Majesty died.
Before the news of the incident has been leaked, the overall situation will be determined by cooking the raw rice into cooked rice.
By the time the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns to Beijing, the East Palace has been abandoned, and the King of Jin has ascended the throne. The fact has been established, and His Majesty has passed away, and the new Emperor is about to succeed to the throne. Who can have any objections?
In this world, your majesty's son will eventually succeed to the throne. Since the prince is deposed, or even passed away at that time, it is natural and logical for the king of Jin to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
He did not hesitate to bear the reputation of "treachery", but he also wanted to depose the East Palace and support the King of Jin. How could the King of Jin not be grateful and burst into tears? When he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor one day, he will be grateful for his support today and will naturally obey his words.
Even if you are dissatisfied with your control of the government, what can you do? You have spent your whole life and ruled the world. Is it possible that you can't surrender to a child with a yellow mouth...
However, as soon as he bowed his head to the ground and held the ceremony very respectfully, he did not see Li Zhi come forward to help him for a long time. He couldn't help but feel surprised. He looked up and saw Li Zhi's face was sad and shocked, with two lines of clear tears flowing down his face. His whole body was filled with tears.
Shivering slightly.
Changsun Wuji was taken aback and was about to ask, but he heard Li Zhi gritting his teeth and holding back tears as he asked one word at a time: "Don't bully me, Duke Zhao. I only want to ask you, Father... Father...
...are you still safe?"
"this……"
Changsun Wuji was shocked, but he did not expect that this child was really smart and sharp. He could see clues in his words and expressions and guess that His Majesty had passed away...
But now, there was no need to hide it from Li Zhi, so he looked sad, covered his face with his hands, knelt down and cried: "I have disgraced my mission and failed to protect His Majesty. I will never be able to atone for my sin even if I die!"
He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. There was a mix of truth and lies in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
I just cried for a while, but found that I was the only one crying, and Li Zhi, who should be crying the most, made no sound at all...
Could it be that the child was overly sad and fainted?
He quickly looked up and saw Li Zhi sitting on a chair, looking up to the sky, tears streaming down his face, and there was no sound of crying at all.
Not only was I surprised.
When Queen Wende died, Li Zhi and Si Zi were young. His Majesty Li Er took pity on the two young sons who had lost their babies early, so he kept them by his side and raised them personally. Therefore, when it comes to the relationship between the royal father and son, His Majesty is naturally the one who
The deepest relationship with King Jin.
Now that he heard the news of His Majesty's death, based on his understanding of Li Zhi, he must have been heartbroken and burst into tears, unable to recover for a while.
But now Li Zhi's reaction was really beyond his expectation...
However, this is not a bad thing. Li Zhi is calm and strong enough, so he can naturally better cooperate with his plan and does not need to work hard to persuade and comfort him.
Then he tentatively said: "Your Highness... I express my condolences and accept the change. Things cannot be changed. Your Majesty's death is a fact. It is useless to be too sad at the moment. The most important thing is to fulfill His Majesty's unfinished wish so that Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about anymore."
Although Li Zhi sadly refused, he was surprisingly calm at this time. After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, he raised his hand to wipe his tears and asked, "What does uncle mean by this?"
What kind of "unfinished wish" may it be that the father left a legacy, so no matter what, the whole country will naturally try their best to fulfill it. But if the eldest son Wuji has a red mouth and white teeth, then it is worth discussing.
But just by watching Changsun Wuji sneak away from the army and sneak back to Chang'an, we know that he must have no legacy...
Sure enough, Changsun Wuji stood up, took two steps forward, looked at Li Zhi with stern eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, His Majesty loved you the most during his lifetime. He showed his determination more than once to appoint you as the crown prince.
This is your Majesty's wish! Now that your Majesty's wish has not been fulfilled, the dragon controls Bintian. If our ministers ignore your Majesty's wish and only know how to obey and obey you, we will be ashamed of your Majesty and unworthy of others! Your Majesty, for your Majesty's wish, for your Majesty's wish, for
For the sake of the common people of the world, I sincerely ask Your Highness to succeed you as the crown prince, and announce to the heaven and earth in the Tai Chi Palace in the future that you will ascend the throne as the emperor!"
After saying this, he knelt down and bowed his head to the ground to perform a great ceremony.
When he thought about it, Li Zhi had always coveted the position of crown prince, didn't he want to ascend the throne as emperor in the future and sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Now that His Majesty has passed away, the Guanlong clan sent troops into the city to issue military remonstrances, and the East Palace fell in an instant
In the meantime, when the overall situation has been decided and the Eastern Expedition army returns, the prince will immediately ascend to the throne of God, and life will reach its peak. Isn't it wonderful?
I never dreamed of having such a good thing happen to me.
What he says and does now is just "persuading" King Li Zhi to give Jin King Li Zhi a step up, so as not to appear too impatient to become the crown prince and be criticized by others. He only needs to be declined twice by King Jin, and he insists twice more, and then Jin
Wang pushed the boat along and reluctantly agreed...
However, where he was kneeling, his heart was fluctuating with excitement. He was already imagining that after deposing the East Palace, he would single-handedly control the government and become more powerful than he was at the beginning of Zhenguan. However, he found that Li Zhi had not moved again...
He had no choice but to raise his head and found that Li Zhi was in a daze again.
I sighed in my heart. Although His Highness was extremely intelligent, he was still young and inexperienced. He must have gone crazy with joy when he suddenly heard about such a good thing.
He then said: "His Royal Highness is wise and mighty, and is quite like your Majesty. After ascending to the throne, he will definitely continue your Majesty's legacy, work diligently and love the people, and work hard to govern..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi.
Li Zhi sat on the chair, lowered his head slightly and looked at Changsun Wuji who was kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Is there any imperial edict from my father?"
