Chapter 740: Unfilial descendants implicate him

The other ministers stared at the father and son emperors, and they said, Li Ji was doing a good job, so why was he demoted for no reason?

It turns out that it was His Majesty who set up this trap. His Majesty is so cunning.

However, this game was done well, and it really made people dare not disobey.

The comments were all praising Emperor Taizong of Tang for his good strategies.

Some emperors have already done this secretly, why don’t they try this strategy as well?

But it seems that it is of no use.

Sky

Zhou Yu and Fan Wencheng both looked at Li Ji, feeling sympathy and a little envy.

The fact that the emperor could use such a strategy shows that he really trusts the other party and wants to use him.

It is said that a new emperor appoints new ministers. This is always true. Isn't it true?

Most new emperors are unwilling to use old ministers, and will suppress them and cultivate new ministers.

This kind of thing is extremely common. If you have good eyesight, it's not a big deal and you can spend your old age in peace and comfort.

If you are tactless, there are many cases of death or demotement.

"Senior Li Ji, it seems that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to you," Zhou Yu said with a smile looking at Li Ji.

Li Ji nodded, feeling helpless, angry and amused.

But I also understand the emperor's thoughts. I won't think too much about it. Thinking about those old ministers like Zhangsun Wuji and Shangguan Yi, his ending should be good.

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Li Wu also nodded and said, "Later, Li Zhi naturally followed the arrangement of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and ordered people to repaint your portrait, Senior Li Ji, and personally put it back in the Lingyan Pavilion.

Later, when Li Zhi wanted to make Wu Zetian the empress, almost all the old ministers in the dynasty were opposed.

Only you, Senior Li Ji, said that this is the emperor's family affair and there is no need for outsiders to point fingers.

Alas, those who opposed later all bear grudge against him," Li Wu shook his head, and Li Zhi also wanted to suppress the old ministers. Many of them relied on their status to point fingers at him, especially a certain old minister.

Chang Sun Wuji said, just click on me directly?_?

Li Ji was helpless. If he had not been arranged like that, he would have opposed making Wu Zetian the queen, just like the other old ministers. After all, this matter, really, how to put it, could be a big thing or a small thing.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, many ministers remained silent. The old ministers referred to them. Zhangsun Wuji, Shangguan Yi and others did not want to speak, because they had already known their fate from the barrage, no, from the little immortal when he talked about Wu Zetian.

Especially Shangguan Yi, who wanted to curse but didn't dare to.

It was obvious that Li Zhi himself had the idea of ​​deposing the queen, but then Wu Zetian came and put all the blame on him, making him hate her. What could he say? He could not say anything.

Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed and tried to appease his ministers.

Sky

Li Ji didn't dare to respond.

"Because of what you said, Senior Li Ji, Li Zhi was determined to make Wu Zetian his empress.

This is not just a matter of establishing a queen. It is a contest with the ministers, a contest between the emperor and the ministers. It depends on who wins.

If the emperor wins, the ministers also know that this emperor is not so easy to control. If the ministers win," Li Wu spread his hands, those who understand will understand.

Zhou Yu and the other two nodded, it was indeed true.

"And Senior Li Ji has also gained Wu Zetian's trust because of this.

In 666 AD, Goguryeo was in civil strife. Li Zhi naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Goguryeo.

At this time, Senior Li Ji, you were already over 70 years old and no longer young, but you still put on your armor and went into battle again, demonstrating your outstanding military talent.

You marched all the way to Pyongyang and completely wiped out Goguryeo, which had been a scourge to the Tang Dynasty for decades.

Not long after returning from the triumphant campaign against Goguryeo, Senior Li Ji's health deteriorated and he passed away soon after at the age of 75."

When Li Ji heard this, he could not help but feel happy. He was very satisfied with his later deeds. Not only did he live a long life, but he also died perfectly. He also played a part in the war against Goguryeo. Not bad.

He was already very satisfied.

"However," Li Wu said this was a good point. Li Ji was silent. Could it be that his unfilial descendants had done something again?

"In 684 AD, your grandson Li Jingye led an army to attack Wu Zetian. Later, Wu Zetian stripped you of your official title and dug up your grave and chopped up your coffin. She restored your original surname Xu and took back your surname Li," Li Yan looked at Li Ji with sympathy.

The smile on Li Ji's face froze. As expected, his unfilial descendants had implicated him and made him unable to rest in peace even after his death.

"Alas," Li Ji could only sigh, "Forget it, forget it, I didn't expect something like this to happen later." By that time he was already dead, and he couldn't care less.

After the little fairy was exposed, he thought that things would never be like that again.

Zhou Yu and Fan Wencheng looked at Li Ji with sympathy. They didn't expect that he would be dug out after his death. It was really tragic.

Faced with the sympathy of the two, Li Ji didn't want to talk, and he had nothing to say. Who should he blame for this? He didn't dare to blame the royal family. He couldn't beat his grandson to death.

As I said, forget it, these are things that happened after his death, so I won’t think about it too much.

In front of the sky curtain, Wu Zetian felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was the one who did these things.

There were also people criticizing Wu Zetian in the barrage, especially Wu Zetian's black fans, who would criticize Wu Zetian whenever they got the chance.

Wu Zetian didn't care about it, because she was not the only one like this, other emperors also had many black fans.

If they really care about it, can they get away with it?

Isn't it normal for an emperor to be scolded?

If it is the emperor that everyone praises, then they have never seen him.

"Senior Li Ji, please accept my condolences. I have finished telling you about your deeds. Let us toast you a glass," Li Wu said, raising his glass, and the others followed suit.

"Senior Li Ji, don't think too much. Who knows what happens after death, right? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We can't take care of so many things," Fan Wencheng comforted Li Ji when he saw that he was not in a good mood.

Li Ji smiled at Fan Wencheng and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine," and also smiled at Li Wu and Zhou Yu.

Everyone felt relieved. After all, Li Ji had experienced so much, what was there that he couldn't accept?

"Let me toast you, Li Ji, again," Zhou Yu said, and the three of them began to toast each other again. Li Wu was no longer doubtful now, she was sure that they were just taking this opportunity to drink, it was not like she was stopping them from drinking.

Li Wu just shook his head and smiled, looking quite helpless.

"Three seniors, please eat more dishes," Li Wu picked up some dishes for the three people. When the three people saw Li Wu, they all showed the same smile and ate the dishes.

The ancestors in front of the sky curtain couldn't help laughing when they saw the appearance of the three people, and they were a little envious of them for being able to go to the afterlife.

"Then I will now tell you about your deeds, Senior Fan Wencheng," Li Wu looked at Fan Wencheng and said. The three of them looked at him in unison. He said it so directly without taking a break first?
