I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 620 Chaos
When Li Ao's straightforward passing of the throne shocked all the ministers, they had to face another fact.

That was Li Ao's situation, it was really bad.

Now everyone can only follow Li Ao's wishes and choose an auspicious day to help Li Dong ascend the throne smoothly, but when everyone was discussing among them, Song Mu was called out by Li Dong.

Song Mu, who had been silent all the time, also looked at the sound at this moment. Seeing Li Dong's serious face, he followed out immediately.

Outside the bedroom, it was already night, and the spring night was still a bit deserted, but Li Dong was standing in the courtyard right now, with his hands hanging down, looking up at the sky.

Song Mu walked to the other party's side, and Li Dong took a long time to look back at the sky, and then looked at Song Mu.

"Master Song, what should I do?"

Li Dong asked out of the blue, Song Mu's expression also paused at the moment, looking at Li Dong this time, he saw a bit of sadness in his tired eyes.

Song Mu said silently, this time he just cupped his hands slightly.

"Your Highness, it will be fine to have Feng Xiang and Tan Xiang assist you in matters concerning the Wen Dynasty in the future."

"It's just that maybe His Highness needs to do more homework on the policy of governing the country."

Hearing this, Li Dong shook his head slightly, fixed his eyes on Song Mu, and said.

"Master Song, I just want to hear your opinion."

Song Mu's gaze met the other person's, but at this moment his heart paused, thinking of what Li Ao said to him that day.

I am not a political minister, nor can I be a powerful minister...

At this moment, Song Mu looked sideways at the direction of the bedroom, seeing the bright lights and flickering figures, he just sighed slightly, looked at Li Dong, and said with cupped hands.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty once said that he does not want me to participate in political affairs, and now I am not allowed to speak nonsense about my identity."

"If it's a political matter, His Highness may ask the two lords of Xiangguo, or the lords of Shangshu."

Hearing this, Li Dong stood in place for a while, with more and more surprise in his eyes, staring at Song Mu closely at this moment.

After a while, Li Dong slowly lowered his gaze, and then nodded slightly.

"Indeed, I was reckless."

Song Mu couldn't bear to hear this.

Having been with Li Dong for many years, Song Mu also knew what kind of person Li Dong was. When he was young, the empress passed away, and when he was a child, he was strictly demanded, and he was given high hopes as an only son.

But this palace is so lonely to him, it has cultivated his resolute character, but it also made him feel less secure.

Now that Li Ao passed on the position of monarch to Li Dong, under such heavy pressure, Li Dong's heart inevitably felt a little empty, and he wanted to seek some persuasion, but he could only hear these things from Song Mu.

But this is the world, when the power changes, Li Dong will have to bear more such bloody storms in the future.

What Song Mu can do now is to make Li Dong willing to face these.

"Your Highness, follow the trend in everything. You can keep in mind what His Majesty said. Everything must be carefully considered. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

Li Dong looked at Song Mu, and nodded silently this time, before speaking to Song Mu after a while.

"Master Song, teach me this knowledge later."

"There are tens of millions of pages in the world, but I have learned very little."

Saying so, at this time there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and then a group of people came, and an old voice came.

"Dong'er, Your Majesty is awake."

"The Queen Mother."

Song Mu quickly turned sideways and cupped his hands. Li Dong had already stepped forward and explained the situation. The older queen mother was relieved.

It's just that Li Ao is discussing things with the ministers, and Li Dong is inconvenient to let him in, but the Queen Mother refuses, but at this time, a crisp voice rang out.

Song Mu looked up when he heard this voice, and saw that it was Li Mo'er who was persuading the Queen Mother.

After explaining a few words in this way, the queen mother nodded and went back to rest first.

Li Dong was also a little surprised when he saw Li Mo'er again. This time the two of them talked for a few words, and Li Mo'er also looked at Song Mu.

The two sides didn't talk to each other, Song Mu just knew that the other party came here in place of Her Royal Highness, and had been taking care of the Queen Mother in the palace for the past few days.

Li Dong was very emotional about this, and when he told Song Mu about the past of the imperial sister, Song Mu's gaze dropped slightly, flickering from time to time.

In the next few days, Li Ao did not go to the court, but let Li Dong act as the host, and the two prime ministers assisted. This behavior also made the court officials have some judgments in their hearts.

It's just that there is still an undercurrent in Chang'an today. At least from Song Mu's point of view, the discussion about His Majesty's condition is getting worse.

All kinds of remarks came one after another, and Yushitai had even noticed it. They were mentioned in the court, and Li Dong also nodded in agreement to curb such remarks.

Soon it will be another day of government affairs, but on this day in the court hall, suddenly and inexplicably, there is a bit of tension.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Tan's words are wrong. Now that the war in the four borders is a bit more stable, it should be a solid result instead of being so rash. This matter is not without lessons learned."

"Feng Xiang, what you said is a lesson from the past. We should also look at the current situation."

"Your Highness, there is a faint tendency to gather monster forces in the southern border. If you don't attack immediately and mess up their deployment, it may cause catastrophe."

"Feng Xiang, don't forget that it is His Majesty's will to attack to quell the turmoil in the territory, and I will do my best."

Tan Quitetang refuted Feng Xiang's statement. At this moment, Feng Xiang's expression changed a lot, but he bowed his hands to His Highness.

"Tan Xiang said so, but now His Majesty has given His Highness full power to deal with it. Now that troops are being deployed everywhere, the country's power is already being consumed. I ask His Highness to make a decision on this matter."

As soon as these words were said, someone immediately responded, but also officials who supported Prime Minister Tan stood up and refuted, and there was an uproar in the hall for a while.

Standing in the hall at the moment, Song Mu also felt that the atmosphere was vaguely wrong.

Several old ministers stepped forward to make peace, but it was still of no avail. The two powerful prime ministers seemed to want to suppress each other this time.

And at this moment, Li Dong's roar came.

"enough!"

Li Dong jumped up at the scene, his loud voice spread, and the hall was silent for a moment. At this moment, Li Dong scanned the crowd with a rather displeased expression on his face.

"It's only been a few days, and it's like this in the morning, so from now on, don't you just need to listen to your noise?"

Saying this, both Feng Xiang and Tan Xiang had lowered their heads, but at this time Feng Xiang bowed his hands to Li Dong and said slowly at this moment.

"Your Highness, in the current situation, if we can't come up with a good solution for this matter, I'm afraid there will be long nights and dreams."

Li Dong glanced across the crowd, and seemed to have inadvertently glanced at Song Mu again, then heaved a sigh of relief and did not speak.

Seeing such a scene, Xiang Feng still stepped forward and continued to speak.

"Your Highness, for the current plan, perhaps we need to take a step back, and wait until the troops are fully assembled before attacking, which will save a lot of trouble."

Having said that, Tan Quite on the other side also came out and handed over his hands, strongly opposing Feng Xiang's approach.

Li Dong had already raised his hand towards the two of them again, and the expression on his face seemed determined.

"I've already made a decision on this matter. Since my father doesn't like the turmoil in the frontiers, and cuts through the mess quickly, I will continue to follow Tan Xiang's wishes."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the scene lowered their heads and looked at each other, and Feng Xiang's expression also suddenly paused. At this moment, when he looked at Tan Xiang, his face was a bit ugly.

Song Mu suddenly felt that it was not good. Li Dong's outspokenness not only undermined Feng Xiang's majesty, but also probably made all the officials weigh in their hearts.
