It was not the first time that Pei Kuan or Du Shiyi came to Xingqing Palace. Although Pei Kuan was suppressed by Li Linfu for many years, Yang Guozhong had not had time to deal with him when he came to power. However, with his younger brother, Du Shiyi helped him to help him and he was lucky enough to escape the many storms and waves. He always stood firm in the court and occupied an important position. Du Shiyi has been away from the town in recent years, and whenever he returns to Beijing, he will be summoned frequently, and it is normal to travel to and from here. However, now the two of them have set foot here again, which is completely different from the experience of the previous one.

Although they are still ministers, the once supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty is no longer as good as before

At this moment, Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan were watching the imperial doctor treat Li Longji in the hall. Jiang Du, who was standing in the yard of the front hall, looked smiling. Looking at the people in the eunuch palace who were driven out to gather here, seeing a person kneeling on the ground and trembling, he laughed and raised two fingers.

The scene that happened at the court meeting today was sent back here as Li Longji, whose eyes were closed and fainted, was not necessarily clear. Although the Xingqing Palace may not know the clear, the general situation could still be imagined. After two major purges of Jiang Du, even though Li Longji spared no effort to win over people's hearts and wanted to use it for himself, many people still felt fearful, diligent and only did their own things, and did not dare to come to the emperor. However, there were always those who were lucky enough to think that it was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and would not be really controlled by his ministers. So, when Li Longji and Pei Kuan and Du Shiyi returned, Jiang Du was still following behind him, and many people turned pale.

"Two times, within a few months, I, Jiang Si, used two sharp methods. I didn't expect that there were so many people who didn't listen to the lesson and asked me to say what was good?" Jiang Du's voice suddenly changed and he shouted in a deep voice, "According to the list, I will lift all those ulterior motives out one by one, hum, and those who are bullying the superiors and the inferiors also want to climb up?"

Seeing a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rushed straight over, some changed their faces and wanted to resist one or two, while others lowered their heads and dared not look up. The latter was far more numerous than the former. When seven or eight people were twisted and rushed out of the crowd, there were both begging for mercy, cursing, and more cries. Jiang Du was impatient to listen to these things. After a wink, his ears immediately became clear. Seeing that the rest of the people were silent, he said lightly: "Don't I need to talk too much, follow the old rules."

When those guys who fainted were taken away, he just raised his foot to Xingqing Hall. When he was about to climb the steps, he said without looking back: "It's only three things, and I don't want to commit murder again and again, so you all keep your eyes open and your thoughts brighter. Your Majesty's abdication is within these ten days. If you want to go on safely, don't have those bad thoughts."

Pei Kuan heard the sudden movement outside the hall clearly. He didn't know that Jiang Du took this opportunity to clean up the people serving in Xingqing Hall, but he had not been politely persuaded him before, but Jiang Du had no intention of listening. Instead, he took out the old story of his father Jiang Jiao's lawsuit, and made it clear that he was to stop the court from having another verbal dispute in the palace and to cause trouble. At this moment, seeing several imperial doctors busying around the emperor, Li Longji still showed no sign of awakening. He couldn't help but ask Du Shiyi softly: "You said you had asked the ministers to elect the prince, isn't this really a joke?"

"How could I say nothing in front of so many people?" Du Shiyi found that the movements of several imperial doctors had stopped for a moment, so she continued to work hard. He didn't know that this was the most concerned issue for everyone now, but he still said carelessly, "Prince Yisu and the Two Kings are dead. Among the remaining princes and grandsons, no one knows which person is the most able to convince the public. In this case, letting officials in Beijing recommend the fifth rank and above, and to see who gets the most votes, decide who will succeed the throne. This is the most fair way."

"Then you really..."

"Brother Changkuan wants to ask me if I really don't interfere? Of course I don't interfere. I can even say clearly that no matter who succeeds to the throne, I have no objection. After I recaptured the entire territory of Hebei, I once told the generals of the three towns that I am used to being free and unused to being in Chang'an City. This right prime minister is just a false reputation. In addition, there are still scattered rebels in Hebei and the people are not determined. In addition, this spring plowing is soaked this year, and it is almost too late to replenish it. Some are famine. If there are no strong people to comfort me, I am afraid I will not be able to recover for a few years. So I originally planned to stay in Youzhou after the war. Unfortunately, I had to come back after the assassination of the King of Nanyang.

Seeing that Pei Kuan was clearly unbelievable, Du Shiyi said indifferently: "I will not interfere in the establishment of the crown prince. As my youngest son, Youlin will not participate. Even if there are officials above the fifth rank in the court, if there are officials who do not want to interfere in this matter, there are no need to force them. In other words, if there are recommendations, there are also those who abstain. This is the real fairness.

"Then I abstain from the right."

While speaking, Jiang Du also entered the hall. Seeing Pei Kuan turn to look at him, his face was gloomy and gloomy, the Duke of Chu said with a smile: "Even if there are almost no one of the dragons, sons, phoenix grandsons who are outstanding, I don't like any of them. Since Prime Minister Du said that he could abstain from power, it would be much more troublesome. I won't recommend the chief executive, right? I will tell Dou Shi when I look back, I will feel relieved if he doesn't need to get involved in this matter."

Du Shiyi himself did not participate, nor was he allowed to participate. Jiang Du even patted his chest and said that he and Dou E would not interfere, but Pei Kuan would not really think that the Du people had no influence on this most important thing in the Tang Dynasty today. You must know that the King of Nanyang Li came back with Du Shiyi's army, and Du Shiyi's attack was also because of Li's incident. Many people would think that this was Du Shiyi's attitude. Even if it was not, King of Nanyang Li, the princess of the East Palace, and the princess Zhang, behind him, how could they not add fuel to the fire?

But what else can Pei Kuan do if things go like this? He is already annoyed by the troubles caused by Li Longji. Moreover, as the left prime minister who is in power, he heard too many rumors and was extremely tired. He was so excited that he suddenly lost the interest of waiting for the emperor to wake up here and sighed deeply.

"I think there will be a pile of memorials from the Zhengshi Hall soon. I will go back and finish the other things first, and I will leave it to Junli and General Jiang."

When Pei Kuan left, Jiang Du felt that it was much easier. He did not take these imperial physicians seriously at all and said bluntly: "Du Shijiu, what do you know what I admire most about you? He was not afraid of the powerful and the nobles, but he was just a noble relative like Wang Mao Zhong, but now he has to have one more. That is, the one who can clearly enter the coffin, but he refuses to abdicate. The words you said on the diligent government office building are really too pleasing to me. The king treats his ministers as earth, and the ministers regard him as enemies. Master Meng is really right. Everyone says Confucianism is the monarchy of the king, the ministers, but that is why some people are stupid in their studies."

Seeing that Jiang Du was speaking happily, Du Shiyi couldn't help but glance at the imperial physicians. Seeing that some of them were even trembling slightly, he glanced at Jiang Du: "Save your breath and vent your anger. Now the election of the wise king has not even come out. If Your Majesty wakes up at this time and is angry with your words, will you be responsible for the consequences then?"

"Of course I can't take that responsibility, but I really can't help it when I finally feel relieved after being held back for too long in the years." Jiang Du walked slowly to the imperial bed and saw Li Longji's eyes closed, his face was not bloodless. He waved his hand and told the imperial doctors to do his own work, but said, "You are Confucius on the left and Mencius on the right. I remember the great struggles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The princes are not arrogant. If there is any mistake, they will take the throne or even their lives. The scholars can be proud of the ministers and princes. This is the real national scholar. Since the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, these scholars have become less and less valuable."

"It's just a word of class. If a scholar becomes a minister, he naturally does not want anyone to spit in front of him. If he becomes a prince, he will not be able to tolerate a mere stingy person." Du Shiyi knew that Jiang Du was just showing off his verbal advantage and was not really a stubborn person. He sighed casually, and then asked at an imperial doctor who finally stopped, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, although the pulse is weak, it is not a big deal for the time being."

Although the Imperial Medical Office has not undergone any cleaning, and it is even called pulse diagnosis, it is actually a message for the emperor to send news. It was enough to face Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan. Now there is another real evil star Jiang Du. Every imperial physician raises his heart to his throat, fearing that the next moment will be an unexpected disaster.

Sure enough, Jiang Du's face sank and asked directly: "Don't tell me these stupid words. Explain it clearly, how many days will there be?"

This problem immediately made several imperial doctors look at each other. After a while, someone whispered carefully: "Since your Majesty returned to Chang'an, his health has been getting worse. The previous time was because of the king of Yong, and because of the assassination of the commoner Li, he was extremely deficient. Today's situation should be a stroke. If it is carefully adjusted, it will be three or five months. But if there is a situation, it may be only ten days and half months left."

"It's actually a stroke..."

When leaving Xingqing Hall, Du Shiyi murmured to himself, and saw Jiang Du's expression that deserved, and he didn't want to say anything. With Jiang Jiao's love for him back then, he was just because of Wang Shouyi's small plan, Jiang Jiao was exiled and died on the road. He was executed and demoted, and was demoted. However, since the Tang Dynasty was in power in the aftermath of Wu, it has become increasingly popular in the palace to humiliate the heavy stick. The so-called punishment doctor has been left behind. When Li Longji took power, he has completely followed his grandmother's plan. It is no wonder that after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had many vassal states and the imperial power had almost never really regained its power.

The talents that the court can win over can also win over, and the power of eunuchs exceeds that of the emperor and the concubines. The power of the imperial guards is to control the decree and establish the emperor, which is simply a replica of the emperor's use to command the princes.

In Xingqing Hall, several imperial doctors had already retreated, and the curtain in front of the imperial bed had been put down. Li Longji, who was lying flat, had opened his eyes, but his eyes were dull. He opened his mouth to make a sound, but only silent sighs were heard. At that moment, his heart was filled with endless regret and bitterness.
