I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Pei Yuan took the memorial and read it out: "If the fathers and grandfathers beat their children and grandchildren, they will be charged with harming their descendants and being unfilial to their ancestors. Their crime is the same as beating and injuring ordinary people..."

"If a husband beats his wife or concubine, he shall be punished as if he had beaten an ordinary person..."

It’s just a small matter, it can be changed. How can the law be as important as your own life?

Li Zhi approved it on the spot: "Approved! Issue an order immediately! What you said makes sense, all approved!"

Wu Meiniang also spoke up: "Your Majesty, I also have a good policy that I would like to discuss with Your Majesty."

"There are tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, which is a huge waste. It would be better to release some of them, let them marry freely, and stabilize the country."

"Those who don't want to get married can go home or become self-reliant."

"Old people can become Taoists and spread the teachings of Taoism in their hometowns, educating the people there. This is also a meritorious deed and can also form a system. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Zhi nodded: "You are the queen, you have the final say on matters concerning the harem."

Wu Meiniang suggested again: "Your Majesty, since you have already made a good policy, why don't we worship the Kitchen God in the palace again and ask him to convey the will of heaven and cancel the heavenly punishment first, so that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it every day, what do you think?"

What a good idea! Li Zhi held Wu Meiniang's hand and said, "My dear, what you said is very true."

As soon as the emperor said a word, the palace servants immediately started to prepare. They prepared cattle, sheep, three kinds of animals, fruits, cakes, tea and wine.

The court painter quickly painted a picture of the Kitchen Goddess that was the same as the one in the folk art, for the emperor, empress and other ministers to worship in person.

On the day of the worship, the sky was clear. The emperor and empress led all the ministers and palace ladies to worship the Kitchen God outside the Lianbi Palace. Li Zhao asked Qingluan to send out an avatar, and he stood aside and watched, waiting for an opportunity to perform a miracle.

After the emperor and empress personally burned the sacrificial table and led the people in kneeling, the Qingluan clone hiding on the side moved.

She grabbed a handful of fruits and cakes in one hand and a teapot and wine jug in the other, and ate them all in front of everyone.

The emperor, empress and ministers had seen many miracles before, but when they saw the Kitchen God appear again, they could not help but marvel.

After eating, Qingluan's clone smeared a handful of pastry crumbs, wine and tea on the mouth of the Kitchen God's portrait.

Then, he walked away.

The emperor, empress and their ministers didn't know whether the Kitchen God was still there or not. Only the deep water stains on the drawing paper proved that she had been there.

After the worship, Li Zhi was quite restless as he did not get any definite news.

On the third day, when Li Zhi was falling into despair, Princess Wencheng brought good news.

"Sister Li Chao said that your majesty has done good deeds, and Taiwei Tiandi has reduced the heavenly punishment in recognition of your majesty. Your majesty's headache will not continue to hurt."

Li Zhi was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! I hope the pain won't last forever!"

Princess Wencheng said solemnly, "However, my sister said that the punishment from Heaven that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven bestowed upon our ancestors and that has been passed down in Your Majesty's bloodline has not disappeared. Your Majesty still needs to take care of your health."

Li Zhi certainly understood this, and he said helplessly: "I understand, thank you Sister Wencheng for helping me."

The matter has finally come to an end.

Li Zhao Qingluan laughed secretly: Humph, that’s not the case.

Li Zhao said that his spell could relieve pain for three days, which was pure nonsense. The effect of [Painless Delivery Pill] could last for three months, but after three months...

The effect of [Splitting Headache Pill] will continue to appear and torture people.

Li Zhi resumed his previous life. His headache disappeared for three months and he lived a comfortable life.

Until the beginning of June, his migraine recurred!

This time, the pain was more severe than ever.

In Lianbi Hall, Li Zhi had a leather bag filled with ice on his head and was sweating from the pain. Wu Meiniang, Ming Chongyan and others were guarding him. Even Princess Wencheng and other close confidants of the prime minister came to attend to him.

Crown Prince Li Hong was far away in Chang'an. Upon hearing that his father was seriously ill, he hurriedly sent his trusted official Hao Chujun to express his regards.

Inside the palace, Wu Meiniang was scolding Ming Chongyan and the imperial doctors: "What a bunch of good-for-nothings! His Majesty is so unwell, have you come up with any solution?!"

Ming Chongyan was responsible for treating the emperor's migraine. He had to step forward upon hearing this. He flicked his whisk and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's headache is so severe that I have tried everything, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage, but none of them worked."

"If it really doesn't work, we can only try the Indian magic medicine."

Wu Meiniang rejected it outright: "No! The late emperor also took the Indian magic medicine, but it didn't work!"

Indian magic medicine is an imported product from India, most of which are anesthetic drugs with added substances such as Datura.

When Emperor Taizong of Tang was in the late stage of rheumatism, no medicine worked for him. He took some of this kind of medicine to relieve the pain with the mentality of giving it a try, but it was still too late and he passed away.

Li Zhi couldn't hold it any longer: "Come... someone! Carry me to Xuanzun!"

Where is Yudou Xuanzun? She is fishing in Shanglin Garden.

Li Zhao was eating fruit while fishing on the railing of the corridor in the water, with dozens of palace maids and attendants standing by his side.

Li Chao also sat next to her and grilled the freshly caught fish for her.

Li Zhi was hurriedly carried over and helped to pay respect to Yudou Xuanzun. The first thing he said was: "Xuanzun, please save me!"

He only felt that there was darkness in front of his eyes and his ears were filled with the buzzing sounds of mosquitoes and flies, which was so painful that he could not bear it.

Li Zhao put down his fishing rod and said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you that?"

"Your headache is a punishment from the East China Sea God. I am the God of Stars. I can change the fate of living beings, but I cannot change the punishment from the gods."

"I can't cure your disease."

Li Zhao's idea of ​​describing the genetic disease as a punishment from Donghua Shaoshenming is really cunning.

Li Zhi burst into tears and said, "Xuan Zun, my headache is a punishment from the Heaven that Taiwei Tiandi gave to my ancestors and passed down to future generations? May I ask what caused this punishment?"

Tell me so I can correct it!

Qingluan stood on the railing, turned around and said in surprise: "Because your family has been generals for generations, and they have killed too many people!"

"Before you became emperors, the retribution was not obvious. Now that you have become emperors, your karma has become even heavier. The heavens have given your family members a headache as a punishment."

Li Zhi: “…………”

He had nothing to say.

Qingluan continued to sigh: "Alas! In fact, your father had the same fate. If he hadn't built so many buildings in his later years and hadn't repeatedly engaged in wars, his death wouldn't have been so painful."

"Your elder brothers and sisters will not suffer retribution at a young age, or become lame or die of gas disease."

Li Zhi pounded the bed angrily: "My father and I have worked diligently to govern the country and bring peace to the people, and now we have to suffer retribution like this?"

Li Chao comforted Li Zhi: "Emperor, be content. Your family's experience is relatively good. Do you know what the last masterpiece of Taiwei Mother Goddess was?"

Li Zhi had a headache, but his curiosity was undiminished: "What is it?"

Li Chao smiled and said, "The king and the horse share the world."

Li Zhi had a headache and was stunned when he heard this.

Princess Wencheng was shocked before him: "The last masterpiece of Emperor Taiwei Tian was the Sima family, a family of idiots and lunatics?!"

Everyone present took a deep breath.

The Sima family during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was very famous!

Li Zhao became interested and asked jokingly, "Do you know why the Sima family was punished by heaven?"

Wu Meiniang asked, "Because Sima Yi was unfaithful, he was killed in public?"

Li Zhao shook his head slowly, smiling: "That's not right."

That's why!

Everyone was puzzled and waited for Yu Dou Xuan Zun to explain.
