The first thousand two hundred and forty-two chapters

Everyone has weaknesses, and Li Zhi is no exception. When it comes to his own core interests, he is very decisive in his actions and his goals are very clear. He has no problems in this regard. The fastest update is

The problem Li Zhi was most afraid of was the current situation. Both sides involved his interests, but did not touch his core interests, so his indecisive character was exposed.

The most powerful thing about Wu Meiniang is that she is ruthless and acts very resolutely. It can be seen from the sex alliance that usually at this time, Wu Meiniang can give Li Zhi great help, which is also the main reason why Li Zhi regards Wu Meiniang as a political ally. Couples are related to love, and political alliances are abilities. If Wu Meiniang does not have the ability, Li Zhi will marry her, but it is unlikely that she will come out to help her in charge of government affairs.

However, this time it happened to involve Wu Meiniang's own interests, so Wu Meiniang was of course more decisive. She didn't need to consider Li Zhi's political interests. This matter was only about her future and even her life. She knew that this matter could not be delayed. If it was delayed, she would have to take the blame. However, as long as she took the blame, her political career would end here because it could not be taken down.

Li Zhi was under great pressure because only he could abolish Wu Meiniang. If he had no action, the account would have to be taken over to him. He was just thinking about letting Wu Meiniang go back to the harem and keeping the position of queen first, but he did not expect that Wu Meiniang took the initiative to take responsibility for all this and prove his innocence. This was reasonable, and he would not reject Wu Meiniang's request.

So on the second day, Li Zhi immediately held a reuse meeting in Liangyi Hall, and Wu Meiniang also participated in it personally.

When the ministers saw Wu Meiniang coming out again, they really felt a cold sweat in their hearts. This was obviously a tit-for-tat thing.

In fact, this can also be regarded as a continuation of the struggle between Wu Meiniang and Guanlong Group.

Because Shangguan Yi is also a member of the Guanlong Group with a strong root. The Shangguan family is a great nobleman in Guanzhong. However, he was just a Grand Secretary at that time, not a main member, had no power, and did not offend Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi. Li Zhi did not want to kill everyone. He just killed those who could threaten him. People like Shangguan Yi would never threaten him. If they wanted to kill Shangguan Yi, Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, and Zhao Chiman would be even more damned.

But Lai Ji, Han Yuan and the others are all friends of Shangguan Yi. In Shangguan Yixin, they were definitely slandered by Wu Meiniang, and he knew the truth. It would be impossible to say that Shangguan Yi did not have any selfish thoughts on this matter.

In fact, this is exactly what the saying goes, if you make a fortune, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

The same is true for Han Yi. Although the Korean arts are calm now, if one day Korean arts really fall into the pit, someone will definitely pour oil into it.

Li Zhi doesn't care much about these things now. The disaster is the most important thing at the moment. He just went straight to the point and told Wu Meiniang about his request. He wouldn't say that he wanted Wu Meiniang to take responsibility. He didn't want to get involved in this matter because it was a natural disaster and it hurts the people. Of course, if you can't get involved, try not to get involved.

No one has accused Li Zhi so far.

This was impossible in the past natural disasters, but Wu Meiniang helped Li Zhi block many arrows.

"Your Majesty, you must not. This move is undoubtedly aggravation."

When Shangguan Yi heard this, he immediately jumped out and said, "This locust plague is God who wants to warn Your Majesty. How can Your Majesty still go against the will of heaven!"

Before Li Zhi spoke, Wu Meiniang sneered: "Sir Shangguan is really domineering!"

Now that things have come to this point, Shangguan Yi is not afraid of Wu Meiniang anymore and asks, "I wonder what the queen means?"

Wu Meiniang said: "You have been saying that this natural disaster was caused by me. I ask you, do you have any evidence?"

Shangguan Yi snorted: "This is not my family's words. If the queen doesn't believe it, she can go outside the palace to listen to the people's discussions. During the period when His Majesty was in charge of government affairs, not to mention natural disasters of this scale, even disasters were rarely heard of. However, as soon as the queen came out to preside over government affairs, a crisis broke out immediately. This was the case last time, and this time again. I wonder how the queen explained all this?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Last time, I admitted that I had made a mistake in it, but that was also due to the fact that Li Yifu and others were improperly implemented, and they were inappropriate in their own rights and abused the law. They did not completely implement the court's policies, which led to the outbreak of danger. This situation has happened in all dynasties. What does this have to do with God? This time, it has nothing to do with me, and you cannot prove that it has something to do with me. You are ministers in the court and the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan. How can you bring the rumors about the citizens to the court to testify?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Di Renjie and Changsun Yan, "Di Shaoqing, Changsun Minister."

"I'm here."

"One of you is in charge of Dali Temple and the other is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Do you think there is evidence to prove that this matter is related to me?"

Di Renjie and Changsun Yan shook their heads one after another.

Shangguan Yi said: "How can this matter be proved by evidence? Queen, you should be in the harem and manage the harem well for Your Majesty. This queen's interference in politics is a taboo in the court. You have interfered in the government over and over again, which not only did not play any role, but also caused me to be in constant disasters in the Tang Dynasty. This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes. The iron-like fact is definitely not a malicious slander of the queen."

Wu Meiniang smiled and shook her head and said, "No matter how much you say, it's all empty talk. And you can't prove it yourself, that's fine, but you still don't allow others to prove whether this matter is related to me. What's wrong with you if you are not domineering?"

Shangguan Yi said in surprise: "When will I not allow others to prove it?"

Wu Meiniang said, "Then why don't you allow me to deal with this matter? The reason why I beg Your Majesty to hand over this matter to me is to prove that this matter has nothing to do with me."

Shangguan Yi frowned and said, "I wonder how the queen plans to prove it?"

Wu Meiniang said, "Since you think this natural disaster is targeted by God, then okay, now I personally come forward to preside over this matter. If God really wants to punish me, the disaster will definitely expand further. But if I can quickly calm this natural disaster, it will prove that this is a natural disaster, not a target of me."

Shangguan Yi thought for a moment and said, "What if the queen can't stop this disaster?"

Wu Meiniang said decisively: "I will go to Yangzhou immediately to become a monk and nun, and I will never set foot in Guanzhong."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked.

This is a bet on life!

Li Ji suddenly stood up and said, "Empress, the old minister can't make trouble to this point when he sees this matter."

Han Yi also stood up and said, "Please think twice before the queen!"

Zhang Wenguan and others also stood up and dissuaded them one after another, but this was only the duty of a minister and did not represent any political stance.

Wu Meiniang said, "Thank you, but I have decided, because I want to know the answer. If I can't prove this, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will think that I am an ominous woman. In that case, let alone the position of the queen, I have no face to live in this world."

Everyone looked at Li Zhi again.

Li Zhi pondered for a while, glanced away, and said, "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with the queen, would you believe it?"

No one said anything, and they dared not take it because it was not a **, but a natural disaster, and no one could prove why this natural disaster was born.

Li Zhi waited for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then let's decide like this."

After saying that, he got up and left.

He is also Wu Meiniang's husband, and he can't have no temper at all. Moreover, this means he doesn't believe it. It's just that you are aggressive. As the monarch, you take the people and the fate of the country to force me to abolish the queen. I really have no choice but to do so.

What is the result of this? Li Zhi's reputation will not be hurt at all. If Wu Meiniang loses, then Li Zhi will give up his love for the people. This is definitely a model of killing oneself, sacrificing oneself for righteousness, and benevolent politics. But if Wu Meiniang wins, it will prove that he believes in the queen, which is right.

But in this case, there is no room for maneuvering in this matter.

If Wu Meiniang couldn't stop him, she would have to become a monk in Yangzhou.

However, Zhang Wenguan and the others were not optimistic about Wu Meiniang because this was a natural disaster. Nowadays, when facing natural disasters, the only way is to pray.

"Shangshu Ling, come to the Political Affairs Hall."

As soon as Li Zhi left, Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Han Yi, and saw Han Yi looking surprised.

After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she walked out with her head held high and her chest held high.

Han Yi sighed and muttered, "Just say that this Shangshu Ling cannot be regarded as the one. Everything has to do with me. It's really up to you."

But everyone heard it clearly and walked out silently.

"It turns out that the queen wants to bet on Han Yi!"

Wang Xuandao whispered.

I'm afraid they had already agreed on a way to get rid of the locusts. Cui Jie said, "Then do you think the queen is taking the right bet?"

Wang Xuandao pondered slightly and said with a smile: "No matter whether it is because of the queen or not, this natural disaster is a natural disaster, but God's actions, how can man overcome nature?"

Cui Jiebian said: "Then do you think the queen is wrong?"

Wang Xuandao shook his head and said, "I told you before that Han Yi itself is a variable. This variable can change many things. Therefore, the immunity of heaven's will has become unpredictable. Therefore, I think only Han Yi can turn the tide. If Han Yi cannot, it is the queen's fate to have such a disaster."

......

Political Affairs Hall.

"Okay! I have no way out now."

When Han Yi came to the Political Affairs Hall, Wu Meiniang didn't ask him to sit down and spoke directly.

Han Yi sat down and said, "If becoming a monk is not a way out, then you really have no way out now, Queen."

Wu Meiniang said: "Do you think I'm in the mood to tell you this now?"

"Sorry, sorry, habit problem, I am such an optimistic person." Han Yi smiled and said seriously: "Queen, please wait for Cui Jieren, Wang Xuandao, Changsun Yan, Di Renjie and others to go to the disaster-stricken state prefectures. Natural disasters are not scary, so scary are human disasters, because once a natural disaster occurs, there will be chaos everywhere. This is the best time to catch fish in the troubled waters. They are quite upright. At this time, they can only use people like them. I don't have high requirements for them, just control the granary."

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, you also need to ask my father-in-law to mobilize some imperial guards to go with you, on the one hand, protect you, and on the other hand, maintain stability at that time."

Wu Meiniang asked, "What about you?"
