As time passed, Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and others also walked out of their sorrow.

However, Li Zhi has always come to the academy to sigh recently.

Su Cheng actually didn't want to pay attention, because even if he used his toes, he knew why Li Zhi sighed.

Because he knew that Changsun Wuji in history was eventually sentenced to death by Li Zhi, the reason was that Changsun Wuji opposed Li Zhiyi's queen. In fact, the fundamental reason was that Li Zhi wanted to regain power from Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang who received the will to assist in the administration.

Although Su Cheng was not in the court for a long time, he knew the situation in the court clearly.

All the power in the court was under the hands of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. Perhaps they were Li Zhi or a child who had not grown up, or perhaps because they had already tasted the taste of power and could not be given up.

It is undeniable that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang both have the ability of prime ministers. They are good at governing the country and handling the government affairs, and they do not do anything wrong. However, in Li Zhi's eyes, they may not be wise ministers.

What made Li Zhi even more helpless was that the two ministers of the regents, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, did not compete for power and profit. Instead, they united and cooperated tacitly, leaving Li Zhi with no chance.

Originally, Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji did not have much love for nephews and uncles, but now they are probably gone.

Although Empress Changsun is still alive, Li Zhi cannot be killed by Changsun Wuji, but the resentment in his heart is definitely indispensable.

Although I don’t want to pay attention to it, it’s not OK to pay attention to it.

Su Cheng asked, "Why did Your Majesty sigh?"

Li Zhi sighed: "What I am an emperor is really not very good, it is completely different from my father. I also want to be as diligent as my father, love the people, what, alas!"

"It's good to be diligent and loving the people, and what the wise king does." Su Cheng smiled.

Li Zhi said depressedly: "Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were ordered to assist in the administration. The father did not say that they would monopolize the government. They still regarded me as a child? At that time, I thought Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were both wise ministers, but I didn't expect that they were powerful ministers. Brother-in-law, what do you think you should do?"

Su Cheng pondered: "Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are indeed very talented and loyal. It is not wrong for Your Majesty to choose them to assist in the government. However, the key to the word "Auxiliary" is to be a "Auxiliary" and it is indeed too much."

Hearing Su Cheng say this, Li Zhi immediately became happy and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, too much is not enough, that's the reason. Brother-in-law, I want to achieve great things, but I'm hindered everywhere. What do you think I should do?"

Su Cheng pondered: "You can find an excuse to demote Chu Suiliang from Chang'an. If Your Majesty still wants to use it more, you can wait a few years before your Majesty clears the government's affairs and recalls him to Chang'an for important tasks."

"As for Changsun Wuji, I have to worry about the face of the queen mother. Forget it, I'll go to the palace."

Li Zhi was overjoyed after hearing this, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, yeah, okay."

Su Cheng was not polite, so he left to enter the palace directly, while Li Zhize was in a good mood and stayed in the academy to wander around.

Looking at Su Cheng's back as he was gone, Li Zhi felt full of emotion. After thinking about it, it would be better for Su Cheng to do all the civil and military officials in the court.

Su Cheng is not greedy for power or loves power, and he will always rely on it at critical moments.

After gaining Su Cheng's support, he immediately felt relieved. Whether it was Changsun Wuji, who was powerful in the court or the country, he was no longer afraid.

Even the queen mother who made him feel a headache, he believed that Su Cheng would definitely be able to handle it so that he would not let the queen mother blame him.

Although the Empress Dowager Changsun was much clearer in the Lizheng Hall, her complexion improved as time passed. Although it was not as bright as before, it was even more beautiful.

"Duke Rong asked for a meeting? This guy hasn't entered the palace for a long time. Please invite him in." Empress Dowager Changsun was a little surprised and a little surprised.

Su Cheng quickly walked into the Lizheng Hall and said respectfully: "I pay homage to the Empress Dowager."

"Didn't you always hide in the academy? What kind of wind blows you today?" Queen Mother Changsun asked with a smile.

"I can't hide, I'm just reading history recently and am fascinated by it." Su Cheng said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Changsun was surprised when she heard this: "You, read history? What history books make you so fascinated?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I am reading the "Book of Han" recently, and one of the passages made me feel very moved."

Empress Dowager Changsun was well-read and curious when she heard it: "I don't know which passage made you feel very moved? If you have any insights, you might as well say it."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Emperor Wen is known for his kindness. He once tasted medicine for his mother and was very filial, but he still killed Bo Zhao. I have been reading history and have a lot of emotion."

The smile on Empress Dowager Changsun's face froze. She naturally knew this passage through reading history books.

Bo Zhao was the only younger brother of Empress Dowager Bo and the uncle of Emperor Wen of Han.

Su Cheng continued to laugh and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. The late emperor raised an army at the age of 18 and swept the world. At the age of 22, he was promoted to General Tiance at the age of 20. Now His Majesty is over twenty years old. Although he does not have the martial arts skills of the late emperor, he is deeply capable of governing the country. In his later years, his Majesty praised Your Majesty. Now His Majesty has succeeded to the throne for several years. The country has been prosperous and the country is growing stronger and stronger. The late emperor will be relieved to have a spirit."

The Empress Dowager Changsun had already understood and nodded slightly, "I always feel that His Majesty is still a child, I didn't notice it at all. In fact, His Majesty has grown up. Duke Zhao and Duke Chu have been assisted by the emperor's will for several years. He has worked hard and can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is smart and kind, and will definitely make this prosperous era last."

After talking about some interesting stories from the academy, Su Cheng then left.

"Su Cheng, you are intent." Empress Changsun said very sincerely.

Empress Changsun’s life can be said to be magnificent. It is precisely because of her much experience that she realized that Su Cheng’s reminder was not alarmist.

After Su Cheng left, Empress Changsun immediately ordered: "Go and find Duke Zhao."

In May of the fourth year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingzong wrote a letter to impeach Changsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang forced the land to buy at a low price.

Chu Suiliang was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou, and Changsun Wuji wrote a letter to apologize for punishment, and was expelled from the Taiwei, and was the third rank of the Secretariat.

Yu Zhining became the Minister of Shangshu, and Xu Jingzong became the Minister of Rites.

The direction of the court changed, and the Tang Dynasty officially entered an era with Li Zhi as the core of power. Li Zhi was ambitious to make the Tang Dynasty more glorious, but was trained by Li Shimin. In addition, Li Zhi, who was influenced by Su Cheng, also had a broader horizon and a more open mind.

History has entered a new chapter.

Su Cheng's eyes had already turned from the Tang Dynasty to overseas, actively preparing to go overseas.

Li Zhi came over, and he had become much more steady with the monopoly of power.

"Why have you always wanted to go to sea? There are risks in going to sea. My mother and sister are very worried about you, so I must dissuade you." Li Zhi looked bitter and thought.

"Do you want to go to Haizhou to have a look?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

Li Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. In fact, he wanted to go to Haizhou for a long time ago, especially when Su Cheng went to Haizhou to reorganize the fleet, he also begged his father, but unfortunately his father disagreed.

But now it’s different. Now he is the lord of the world. Who can stop him?

After being stunned, Li Zhi smiled in surprise and said, "I have long wanted to go to Haizhou to see you. Are you going to Haizhou?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "The first steam giant ship has been launched, and the second one is also fast. Of course I have to go and see it. Not only me, I will go there by myself, but I want to take the whole family. Anyway, it is very fast and convenient to take the train, so I just think it's going on vacation."

Li Zhi was immediately excited when he heard this: "I want to go too, but the ministers will definitely advise me, and my mother is afraid that she will not agree to leave Chang'an."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The maritime trade has flourished now, and it will definitely become more and more important in the future. Not only will His Majesty be the one, but the ministers should also go and see it. As for the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty might as well take the Empress Dowager with you, just to relax. The late emperor actually wanted to go there, but he didn't have the chance. He also fulfilled his wish for the late emperor at that time."

Li Zhi couldn't help but smile: "You are right, to be safe, you and your sister will also go to the palace to persuade your mother."

Li Zhi's persistence and Su Cheng's persuasion led to this huge plan.

Of course, it is also because of the increasing influence of sea trade, the convenience of railway transportation, and the legendary steam ship.

The emperor and the empress dowager took a large number of ministers to Haizhou by train. A large number of guards were accompanied, and the railway stations along the way were also martial law.

At the beginning, Haizhou Port was very desolate, but now Haizhou Port is very prosperous and lively, even more prosperous than Haizhou City.

When Li Zhi, Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and others came to Haizhou Port, they were shocked by the prosperity and excitement in front of them.

Isn’t it just a small port? Why does it look like a bustling city? And it seems to be more lively than an ordinary city?

However, the most eye-catching thing is the anchored steam ships on the sea, which are majestic and spectacular and extremely impactful.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slowly spit out a word: "Damn!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty understands why I want to go out to sea by a steam ship, right?"

Of course Li Zhi understood. Not to mention Su Cheng, even he himself couldn't help but take a giant ship to sea, ride the wind and waves, and was invincible.

So Li Zhi really couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

Arriving on the steam ship, the cannon on the ship proved that the ship was not just a mere appearance, but a powerful war monster. At least in this era, it was the invincible maritime overlord.

Su Cheng came to Princess Changle and smiled and said, "Isn't you worried now? The previous fleet had already scattered across the sea. Now there are giant steam ships, and many warships have also been changed to steam-driven, and their strength has doubled."

Princess Changle pouted and said nothing, because she knew that Su Cheng really wanted to go out to sea, and the steam giant ship in front of her really conquered her.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "This time, I will go explore the road first. When the child gets older, I will take you around the world."

Princess Changle nodded and said, "Okay then."

Wu Yu next to him heard this and said, "I'll go with you this time."

Su Cheng turned his head and asked, "You are willing to give up your child?"

Wu Xi rolled his eyes charmingly: "The child is taken care of by his sister. What should I worry about? I am even more worried about you, don't be attracted by the Western fox charm."

Su Cheng nodded and smiled, "Okay, if you want to follow, then follow."

After hearing this, Wang Shengnan hurriedly said, "Then I will follow you to see you for a long time."

Chen Xiao raised his hand and said, "I'll go too!"

Princess Zhenzhu hurriedly said, "I'll go with you too."

Princess Changle comforted her forehead: "Go and go, go as you want."

Su Cheng was full of enthusiasm: "Okay, when we go back, we will go out to sea by giant ships, so that the local buns in the west can see the strength of our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Zhi on the other side couldn't help but look envious when he heard this. He could imagine what would happen when the steam giant ship appeared in the West.

That must be a deterrent to all countries!

It was completed, lasting two and a half years, with 3.8 million words. It was the longest novel that Nanshan had ever written and the most difficult one. I encountered many things, but I insisted on it.

I hope this novel brings a lot of happiness to everyone and may leave some regrets, but the ending is a bit hasty but is still complete.

Thank you very much for your support and company, especially many friends have followed you all the way from "The Little Marquis of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Emperor Xiaoyao Fights the Country", which is touching and inspiring.
Chapter completed!
