In Luoyang, the dynasty meeting, civil and military officials gathered, and the atmosphere in the temple was also a bit depressing.

It is inevitable that there is a conflict between the emperor and the ministers of the regent.

The imperial power is supreme, but the regent ministers have the influence to compete with the imperial power.

There is no conflict between the two, it depends on who compromises between the emperor and the ministers of the regent and who tolerate them.

According to the benevolent Confucianism shown by Li Zhi and the cunning and cunning Changsun Wuji, most temple officials felt that Li Zhi was the compromise party.

No one expected that the benevolent Li Zhi would start the war in advance and intend to abolish Queen Wang.

Although Empress Wang had no son, she adopted the eldest son Li Zhong and was appointed as the crown prince shortly afterwards. Moreover, Empress Wang was the daughter-in-law chosen by Li Shimin from a hundred miles away and was also a lady from a famous family. Although she could not be considered a virtuous and good queen, she was also a talented woman with both virtue and virtue.

Li Zhi's plan to abolish the queen was naturally refuted.

This matter will be put on hold for the time being, but judging from Li Zhi's attitude, he did not intend to give up the deposed queen.

At this moment, the occurrence of the Jianghuai flood caused Li Zhi to be hit by the head.

As prime minister, Yuwen Jie dared to question Li Zhi's unethical virtue at the meeting, which led to constant natural disasters. This is a side warning.

As various unfavorable news of the Jianghuai River flood spread to Luoyang, the atmosphere in the temple became even worse.

Li Zhigao sat in the upper position, his face was a little unhappy and even more annoyed. This natural disaster was too bad.

He did break the honeymoon period between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji first. After Changsun Wuji officially handled the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion and destroyed Li Tai's party.

He chose to turn against him, intending to use the deposed queen to break the political alliance between former relative Changsun Wuji and current relative Liu Shi.

Compared to others' inability to understand, Li Zhi did not regret his decision, even if he was in this situation...

From the very beginning, he understood that it was impossible for him to be as harmonious as Emperor Xuan of Han and Huo Guang of the monarch and ministers.

There are many reasons, and the most important point is time.

Time is the biggest difficulty Li Zhi faces. He is very clear and helpless. He is born with many diseases and is not a sign of longevity.

However, Changsun Wuji became more and more demonic. He was fifty-nine years old and was as strong as a cow. He handled national security without taking a break for seven or eight hours. Li Zhi himself could not do it.

It’s not that Li Zhi didn’t want to learn from Emperor Xuan of Han, but was in harmony with Emperor Changsun Wuji and gained a reputation throughout his life.

He was afraid that he would not survive Changsun Wuji. What if Changsun Wuji was the same as Sima Yi?

Even if he survived Changsun Wuji, how many years will he have left for him?

Li Zhi was not an emperor who was willing to be mediocre. As a father who had great achievements like Li Shimin, he did not want to be a background board. Even if it was difficult to surpass, he had to match it and become an emperor who was not inferior to him, rather than letting someone say that his name was Li Shimin's son.

With Changsun Wuji here, Li Zhi couldn't help but resign. At the same time, he was worried that once the relatives behind Queen Wang were fattened, his son would be in a more difficult situation in the future.

Faced with all these, Li Zhi decisively attacked Queen Wang, on the one hand, broke the alliance between the two foreign relatives, and on the other hand, he did not really fight with Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was beyond doubt. Faced with the actions of Li Zhi's deposed queen, he did not stand up and express his opinion, so as not to be unable to step down, but the rest of Changsun Wuji's party had already expressed his attitude.

Li Zhi looked around and saw that there were many people in the temple at present, but most of them were not as good as the weather, lacked qualifications, and the only status of Xu Jingzong was not speaking enough. Li Ji was neutral on the surface, but he was a crucial killer move inside and could not be revealed too early.

There is still a lack of a real person who can carry the tripod.

My uncle is the most suitable one, but the news about Jianghuai has been too unoptimistic recently, and all kinds of unknown rumors have spread to Luoyang.

What roads are blocked, the landslides are piled up, refugees and ants gather in Sizhou, it is difficult for people to control, people's hearts are floating, and there is a sense of chaos...

All this uneasy news even reached his ears.

"I won't steal chickens and lose some rice!"

Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little panicked. With Li Yuanai's merits and status, he was enough to enter the temple, but he just lacked an excuse for opportunities.

But if the disaster relief is messed up again and again, it would be impossible for Li Yuanai to enter Beijing with the current attitude shown by Changsun Wuji.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Zhe, the Minister of Personnel, came out to the ranks and said, "His Royal Highness of the King of Wu is the pillar of the country, but the sun and the moon are still large and small, let alone people? The King of Wu is good at governing, and the reforms in Jiangnan have made great contributions. The disaster relief matter is to weigh and dispatch, which is not the director of His Royal Highness of Wu. I think he gathered the victims and the people in Sizhou, which is very wrong. Sizhou City is built in mountains and the city is not vast, how can it accommodate hundreds of thousands of victims? So many victims gather together and people's hearts are unstable, so how can they not cause chaos? I am sure that if this continues, Sizhou will be in turmoil."

"In the opinion of the minister, we should prevent the problem from escalating. Before the turmoil occurs, we should choose a wise man to go south and replace the King of Wu to provide disaster relief. The King of Wu can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and mobilize food and grass to support the Jianghuai River. The best strategy is."

Wang Zhe talked endlessly.

Li Zhi was unfamiliar with his heart, but his determination to be abolished queen.

This Wang Zhe is one of the new foreign relatives, and Empress Wang has two major backgrounds in the Wang family in Taiyuan, Guanlong.

The Guanlong nobles seemed powerful, but they were actually extremely average. Although they were headed by Changsun Wuji to control the temple, they were then unable to do so.

The main reason is that the Guanlong nobles belonged to a military group. After this development, descendants of various families were used to the peaceful days and had already thrown their bows, horses, riding and shooting behind their heads, and there were no outstanding talents.

The Wang family in Taiyuan is different. They are based on their thousand-year cultural heritage. The children of the sect have been practicing literature since childhood. Those with excellent grades have taught themselves how to be officials. They have emerged in many talents and have become officials in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. They can easily rely on their achievements to promote themselves to the capital and become officials in the temple.

Queen Wang’s uncle Liu Shi served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat for only half a year. Many people from the Wang family have entered the court for their merits, and two of them have entered the six ministries and shared important positions.

Wang Zhe is one of them.

Li Zhi felt very dissatisfied and a little uneasy. Wang Zhe said this too much, and he felt that this civil strife would definitely happen.

If the JAC really has a civil strife, then if Wang Zhe asked today, Li Yuanai would become a sinner.

He frowned slightly and said, "My dear, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration?"

Wang Zhe bowed deeply and said, "It's not that I'm exaggerating, but that the King of Wu made obvious mistakes in the decision to provide disaster relief, so we must investigate it."

Changsun Wuji came out in time to make things happen and said with a smile: "Have you sent Zhang Luoke, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, to visit the disaster? When he comes back, will you know what the situation in Jianghuai is? According to the itinerary, it will only take a few days."

Two days later, the little court meeting.

Li Zhi was still dealing with the issue of Turkic comfort, and received news from Zhang Luoke's request for a report.

Li Zhi's face tightened and asked someone to invite him into the hall.

Zhang Luoke reported his inspection experience with a solemn look: "This flood is rare in a century. What I have seen along the way is that the fields are deserted, the houses collapsed, the bridges are destroyed, and the roads are blocked, which is horrifying."

Li Zhi's face turned pale.

Changsun Wuji was in the ancient well, but Liu Shi smiled quietly.

Zhang Luoke continued: "Where I go, there are disasters in heaven and disasters in the earth, but... no disasters in people."
