People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1408: Happy events from heaven, good luck and fortune

By early morning, the rain had subsided.

The Daming Palace was shrouded in mist, and the morning sunlight penetrated the mist, just as it penetrated the confusion in people's hearts.

In the Penglai Hall, a memorial was just delivered to Li Zhi's hand. When he looked up, it read: Your Majesty, the envoy of Luo Xie Tao, Peng Wangxuan, I would like to present this memorial.

The font is twice as big as the others, and the font is darker, which makes the emperor look easy on the eyes.

In a very short time, Li Zhi had read through the entire memorial and nodded with satisfaction.

Placing the memorial on the table, Li Zhi looked up at the golden dragon hanging down above his head and said softly: "It looks like he didn't do it."

The whole story of the memorial supervised by the secretary may be investigated by those who are interested.

If that thing was done deliberately by someone who deliberately calculated the day of the solar eclipse, deliberately calculated that the news of the Western Turkic rebellion would come, deliberately calculated that the day the emperor's illness would break out, then everything that person did was tantamount to It's regicide.

There are actually not many people in the world who are suspected, and even fewer who have the ability to do it.

For example, Liu Rengui, such as Li Xuan.

But neither man had any need to do any of this.

Liu Rengui is over 80 years old, and he hopes to become an official as soon as possible.

Li Xuan is three thousand miles away. How can he rest assured if he doesn't personally handle such a major matter in Chang'an.

Not to mention that during that time, he had been cleaning and widening the river channels in the lower reaches of the Nujiang River and Luoxue River. The wind and rain came and went every day, and he had no time to care about the news in Chang'an.

Both Li Xuan's own memorial and the people buried by the emperor proved that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Then, it is an aristocratic family.

The emperor's eyes turned sinister.

He never believed in chance or coincidence. Since he woke up, the secret guards had already inspected the entire secretary, especially the most critical Secretary Cheng, who fell into the hands of the secret guards and was tortured for an unknown amount of time. all over.

Others Dou Xiaochen, Li Yan, and Wu Sansi were all frantically investigating the case, and many times they didn't even care about the surface calm.

Li Zhi looked at all this with cold eyes. Wu Sansi and Li Yan were the parties involved. Even if the matter seemed to be over, they still needed to figure everything out.

Li Yan wanted to prevent similar things from happening again, while Wu Sansi wanted to find out whether someone had harmed him, so as to restore his image in the hearts of the emperor and Empress Wu.

Dou Xiaochen was because of Li Dan. If the emperor could take a high look at this matter, it would be good for Li Dan.

Nowadays, all aspects involved in the investigation are working hard, but all methods have been exhausted. The things found in half a month show that someone accidentally packed Taishi Ling's memorial underneath. It seems that it was really unintentional. of.

The corner of Li Zhi's mouth curved into a sneer. The more this happened, the more he felt that the person behind him had extraordinary means.

This was also the reason why Li Xuan and Liu Rengui were able to escape suspicion, because even the two of them could not have done so without any trace in the secretary's supervision.

Especially Li Xuan is still three thousand miles away.

It’s not surprising that there are no traces. It’s enough that no one involved knows what they did.

To be able to achieve this step, the manpower required is huge, but everyone's actions are within a reasonable range. This method makes Li Zhi smell a familiar smell.

The taste of aristocratic family, the taste of aristocratic family.

Several aristocratic families joined forces to plan the final outcome.

Who is it?
The sound of slight footsteps interrupted Li Zhi's thoughts. A chambermaid in green stood in front of the palace door, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Fuchang and Princess Taiping would like to see you."

"Shout!" Li Zhi raised his head slightly, and then saw Taiping and Xia'er, both dressed in green skirts, walking in together. They looked like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Li Zhi couldn't help but smile happily, waved his hand and said, "Princess Fuchang, come and take a look. Your father has sent another letter."

Xia'er immediately raised her head in surprise, couldn't help but pick up her little skirt, trotted to Li Zhi's side, then she leaned slightly and shouted in a sweet voice: "I've seen the emperor."

"Haha!" Li Zhi smiled happily, and then handed the memorial in his hand to Xia'er.

After Xia'er took it, she carefully looked at the familiar but unfamiliar names on the memorial, and then cried "Wow".

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Xia'er cried loudly and said, "Xia'er misses Aye."

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh immediately, then shook his head and said, "Let's wait until next year. I will ask your father to take you to Fanzhou with him, and let him accompany you every day, okay?"

"Yeah!" Xia'er nodded gently.

"Okay, uncle Huang is here to teach you how to read." Li Zhi took the memorial and placed it on the imperial couch.

At this time, Princess Taiping came over and said slightly: "I have met my father, my father, my daughter must also be literate."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Taiping, you have to fight for this."

Princess Taiping pouted and shook her head: "My daughter wants it, my daughter wants it... vomit vomit vomit..."

Halfway through her words, Princess Taiping suddenly felt nauseous, turned around subconsciously, and retched for a long time.

Li Zhi frowned and sat up: "Taiping, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Father." After Princess Taiping recovered, she patted her chest and said, "I don't know what happened these past two days. Maybe I didn't eat well, or maybe I caught a cold due to the rain. It's okay." "Oh!" Li Zhi looked at the curtain on one side with a strange expression and called out softly: "Qin Qing."

"I'm here." Qin Heming, the imperial doctor, walked out from behind the curtain, walked quickly to Taiping, bowed and said, "Your Highness!"

"I told you it would be fine." Princess Taiping was a little helpless, but she still stretched out her wrist.

Qin Heming put his hand on Princess Taiping's wrist and examined it carefully.

Li Zhi held Xia'er and sat on the royal couch, looking at him with some excitement, while Xia'er had a confused look on her face, as if she didn't understand anything.

In just a moment, Qin Heming had already let go of his hand, looked respectful, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's Hua Mai. Your Highness the Princess is pregnant, she should be about two months old."

Li Zhi's smile had already fully bloomed.

Xia'er looked confused.

Princess Taiping suddenly stood up at this time, a little panicked and surprised, but more at a loss. She even looked at Li Zhi tremblingly: "Father."

"Why panic, this is a good thing." The joy on Li Zhi's face subsided slightly, and then he said calmly: "Come here, tell the queen about this, and ask her to come over now no matter what she does. Also, call The Crown Princess and the Prime Minister enter the palace together, and by the way, the Prince Consort!”

At the end of the sentence, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Good things come from heaven, good things come from heaven.

Looking down at Xia'er, Li Zhi couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead and said, "Princess Fuchang, you are really my lucky star, just like your father."

"Oh!" Xia'er nodded with some vague understanding.

Seeing Princess Taiping who was still a little confused, Li Zhi couldn't help but stood up, walked to Princess Taiping, looked at her, and said seriously: "Taiping, remember, this is a good thing, for you and for Xue Family is a good thing for my father, and you should face it happily, do you understand?"

Princess Taiping came back to her senses and looked at Li Zhi standing in front of her. She was in disbelief and said with surprise on her face: "Father, father, you are okay."

"Yeah!" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and saw that he was already standing in Penglai Hall.

Only then did Li Zhi realize that he had already stepped down from the imperial couch.

Since waking up from coma, Li Zhi has never left the bed. Although he has summoned foreign ministers, his legs have never felt better, and there is even a faint feeling in the back of his head from time to time, which makes Li Zhi feel that his life is ready at any time. The illusion that they were all walking a tightrope, but now, is gone.

He stood firmly on the ground, and a steady force came from his feet. All the anxiety and weakness before completely disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Surrounded by everyone in the palace with faces filled with surprise, there was a golden dragon's head hanging down above their head.

Li Zhi quickly calmed down, smiled at Princess Taiping, and said: "I have long felt that my health is better, but your mother has always been very strict, so I did not stay. Well, now that I have gotten up, Taiping , come with me outside and have a look, and Fuchang, come with me."

"Yes!" Xia'er immediately ran over, grabbed the emperor's hand with one hand and Princess Taiping's hand with the other, and said with a smile: "Let's go bask in the sun together."

Li Zhi smiled, and then walked out of Penglai Hall with Taiping and Xia'er.

When the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army around saw Li Zhi, they all knelt down and saluted immediately without any hesitation: "Your Majesty!"

Li Zhi ignored them and walked to the railing, letting the warm early summer sun shine on him, as if driving away all the chill in his body.

At this time, in the direction of Zichen Palace, Empress Wu walked quickly with an anxious look on her face. Behind her, she was followed by the prince Li Xian, as well as Liu Rengui, Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan, Li Yiyan, Cui Zhiwen, Wang Dezhen and other prime ministers.

Seeing Li Zhi, Li Xian and other prime ministers standing in front of the palace, their expressions were full of surprise, and then their faces were full of joy.

"Your Majesty." Li Xian and other officials knelt down at the same time in front of the Penglai Hall and shouted in unison: "I will see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty may live forever."

Li Zhi nodded gently to Empress Wu who came to his side, his eyes full of smiles, and Empress Wu nodded slightly in response.

Turning around, Li Zhi looked at the ministers in front and said directly: "My lords, please get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xian and other ministers stood up at the same time.

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Don't delay your eastward tour in the future. If you delay any longer, it will put pressure on the government. There is also the matter of flood control, Prime Minister Zuo, I will leave everything to you."

"I will accept the order." All the ministers raised their hands at the same time.

The emperor was safe and sound, which really reassured them.

Only they themselves know best how much trouble the entire government is under the water when the emperor's health is unstable.

Now that the emperor seems to be fine, people's hearts should calm down, and it's time for those ambitious people to leave.

"Okay, let's go and do our own work." Li Zhi turned to look at Li Xian and said, "Before the evening drum, come here. Today you will personally send Princess Fuchang back to Prince Peng's Mansion."

"Here!" Li Xian immediately handed over his hand and his eyes fell on Xia'er who was standing behind the emperor. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Does the Lord of Fuchang County really have his own luck?

"There is still peace. The Crown Princess and the Prime Minister will arrive in a moment. Please ask the two royal sisters-in-law for advice on how to prepare the child." At this point, Li Zhi looked at Empress Wu and said, "Prince Peng left a lot of guarantees back then. Use the recipe for the fetus well, and let Taiping give me a grandson who can bring blessings."

"Yes!" Empress Wu smiled and nodded, looking at Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping was completely awake at this time, and looked at Empress Wu's somewhat shy body: "Empress."

Empress Wu smiled, then looked at the emperor and said, "Although your Majesty's health is better, you can't be too windy. Go back."

"Okay." Li Zhi nodded, then looked at the ministers: "Go and get busy."

"Yes, I will leave." The ministers slowly retreated, and Li Zhi returned to Penglai Hall with the support of Empress Wu.

The moment he entered Penglai Hall, Li Zhi's expression immediately changed slightly.
