Planting trees without seeing anyone, but picking peaches comes very quickly. Be careful not to choke on the peaches! Although he hasn't seen the prince's face yet, Li Xian has already guessed the purpose of his visit, and although his expression is slightly different
Although he looked unhappy, he was actually sneering in his heart - the most depressing person in Empress Wu's power was actually not Gaozong, but the prince. The reason, to put it bluntly, was very simple. Gaozong was henpecked, and he had long been treated as submissive by Empress Wu.
Yes, although there is resentment, it is not too deep, but the prince is different. He can obviously use the opportunity of handling government affairs to consolidate his position, but when he encounters an old lady who has to dictate everything, no matter how big or small, he still has resentment.
He couldn't help but accumulate over time, and his resentment was already sky high. Now he finally had a chance to clear the clouds, how could he not come and intervene? Of course, whether the prince came or not, in fact, for Li Xian,
It doesn't matter, it's just a difference between the water being more turbid or clear. It doesn't affect Li Xian's plan to fish.
"I am waiting to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Hong was always kind to others, but he didn't show any airs about the prince. He quickly got out of the golden chrome car and accepted the greetings of the ministers with a smile. At the end, he raised his hand and said calmly: "
All my dear friends, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All the courtiers were not stupid, and they all roughly guessed Li Hong's intention. So, they thanked him for his kindness, but no one was willing to come forward to complain. After thanking them one by one, they all immediately rushed to the scene.
On the side, Li Xian was forced to let the two brothers out.
What a help to the old fox! Li Xian originally wanted to make a fortune in silence, but he never thought that all the courtiers were better than the others. When he was about to dodge, it was too late. When he saw that Li Xian had already turned his head to the side with a straight face, he didn't think so.
Come to think of it, except himself, it seems that no one can face the prince's smiling face.
"Brother Prince, you're finally here. My brother and I were just about to report to you. It's a coincidence that you arrived in Cocoli." Everyone didn't say anything. Li Xian had no choice but to look shy.
He walked forward and had a laugh and a laugh.
"Oh? But I don't know if the seventh brother has anything to offer. You might as well tell me and let him know. Don't panic. Talk slowly. I'll listen to you." Li Hong has always been a good-natured person. Although he treats Li Xian and the two brothers
This person was quite dissatisfied with making such a big fuss behind his back, but he didn't show his face to Li Xian, but the smile on his face had a different meaning.
"So that the prince brother knows that today coincides with Xunjia. My brother can't stay at the house, so I thought of inviting my sixth brother to go out with me. Unexpectedly, as soon as we and the brothers got together, we heard something strange happened on the other side of the imperial prison.
After careful investigation, I learned that Cui Xuanzhe, the supervisory censor, had actually tried to murder Lord Shangguan. My younger brother was shocked and inexplicable, but my sixth brother was wise and determined to capture the thief.
After being imprisoned, Mr. Shangguan was rescued from the knife point, and he got a tip. He followed the clues and captured the evil slave who framed Mr. Shangguan. He found conclusive evidence, which is enough to prove that Mr. Shangguan was imprisoned unjustly. My brother
Knowing the importance of this matter, I didn't dare to neglect it, so I hurried all the way. I was just planning to invite the prince's brother to come and take charge of the overall situation, and by chance, the prince's brother arrived. This is really God's will!" Li Xian said
He spoke impassionedly, not only giving all the credit for cracking the case to Li Xian, but also shaping him into a brave man, and also did not forget to please Li Hong, as if the two brothers really wanted to please Li Hongqian
He came to preside over the overall situation, but it was really smooth on both sides. Not only was Li Hong satisfied, but Li Xian also had nothing to say.
"Oh? Is this happening? I must not sit idly by and seek justice for Lord Shangguan. Without further delay, I will hand over a sign to see my father, my sixth brother, and my seventh brother as well. That's it." Li Hong said that he stopped immediately, looked around at the ministers with different expressions, held his hands in greeting and said: "Dear sirs, this matter is important and cannot be ruled out by my father. I would like to invite you all. My dear, please accompany me on this journey, I’ll ask you.”
Li Hong has gradually participated in the government over the years. Although he has not made any great achievements, he has never made any mistakes. In addition, he treats his subordinates kindly and has a reputation as a wise man in the minds of the ministers. His behavior makes the ministers unhappy. There will be objections. Moreover, many courtiers have been fed up with the oppression of the rear parties over the years, and have long been looking forward to teaching the rear parties a painful lesson. After hearing what Li Hong said, they all agreed, Statement after statement, praise after praise, the crowd was excited for a while.
The ministers on this side were excited, but Li Xian's face on the other side was a bit ugly - what Li Hong said was really nothing special. Li Xian had said similar things earlier, but he didn't see the ministers. They were so excited, and the huge difference made Li Xian very depressed. Unfortunately, he couldn't get angry at the moment, so he could only sulk alone.
Unlucky child, you are not a prince, so you should comfort yourself as soon as possible. Li Xian's eyes were very sharp. Although he never turned his head, the corner of his eyes had already caught Li Xian's expression, and although he felt in his heart It's funny, but it's hard to bring it to your face. Not only that, for the next step, you have to try to coax him to prevent Li Xian from causing serious problems in a fit of anger.
"Sixth brother, there are so many people at this time, don't let the younger generation take advantage of it. The evil slave Shangguan Fu must be watched closely." Taking advantage of the moment when Li Hong and the ministers were reunited, Li Xian quietly moved. After a few steps, he came to Li Xian's side and whispered something.
There is no need for a heavy hammer to sound the drum. Li Xian is a sober person. Just by listening to it, he already understood what was hidden in Li Xian's words - no matter how Li Hong acted, Li Xian was the first to overturn the case. This is something that no one can obliterate. The ministers kept silent, but they knew it in their hearts! Li Xianwei was stunned, his eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded with a smile, but did not say anything else. He just stood silently side by side with Li Xian, waiting for the call from the Holy One.
Time passed by minute by minute, and nearly half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. The sign had been handed in long ago, but he never waited for Gaozong's call. As time went by, after hearing the news More and more courtiers gathered in front of Chengtian Gate. In the end, there were nearly a hundred of them. Everyone had a bit of anxiety on their faces, but no one dared to make a loud noise. The atmosphere in the small square was It became depressing, just like the darkening sky.
"Look, it's coming, it's coming!"
Just when everyone was impatient to wait, Liu Fuming, the chamberlain supervisor, led two young eunuchs out of the Chengtian Gate in a hurry. The originally silent crowd suddenly became commotion, and low voices broke out. Li The three Hong brothers were all refreshed and stepped forward to meet him.
"Your Majesty has spoken: Prince Li Hong, King Lu Li Xian, and King Zhou Li Xian are here to meet you at the Tai Chi Hall!" As soon as he saw the three Li Hong brothers approaching, the chubby Liu Fuming hurriedly took a few steps, then stood still and waved his hands. Whisk in the air, preaching in a drawl.
"Huh?" After Li Hong bowed and thanked him, he raised his head, looked at Deputy Liu Ming with doubts in his eyes, said softly, frowned slightly and said: "Eunuch Liu, all the ministers and ministers are here."
I’ve been waiting for a long time. Is there anything I can tell you from my father?”
"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is already waiting at the Taiji Hall. Please don't delay your Highnesses." Upon hearing Li Hong's question, Liu Fuming's fat face immediately twitched a few times, but there was not much more.
To explain, he just shook his head slightly and gave a reminder.
"This..." Li Hong obviously didn't expect that Gaozong only summoned three of his brothers. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he opened his mouth hesitantly, but in the end he didn't say much, just nodded and said.
"Forget it, I'll go to the palace now." After saying this, he looked back at the two relatively speechless brothers Li Xian, then he bowed his hands to the ministers and said, "My dear friends, please wait a moment.
I will go and inform my father first and then make a decision."
Something is wrong, absolutely wrong. There must be something fishy here. Could it be that Empress Wu has already taken action? Damn it, it looks like we are going to be in trouble! Li Xian raised his head and glanced at Liu Fuming, feeling a strong uneasiness in his heart, but here
At that moment, he could not say anything more, so he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, walk a few steps, shoulder to shoulder with Li Xian, and follow Li Hong, and walked all the way to Tai Chi Hall.
Taiji Hall, also known as Zhongchao, is the main hall of the palace. It is not only the place where the emperor meets with ministers in the early morning, but also the place where sacrifices, enthronement and other grand ceremonies are held. The momentum is naturally so majestic that ordinary ministers rarely come here.
For those who are not shuddering, even the three Li Hong brothers, who had long been accustomed to the palace atmosphere, slowed down unconsciously when they arrived in front of the palace. Their faces showed solemnity, but they were obviously indifferent to each other.
They were all interested in talking and silently stepped onto the steps into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, they could see two people sitting on the high front porch. Apart from Gaozong, the other person had a tall phoenix crown.
Xia Pei dazzled, and it turned out to be Queen Wu Meiniang. The bodies of the three brothers could not help but freeze!
Sure enough, it came so quickly! Although Li Xian had a premonition of Empress Wu's intervention, he never expected that Empress Wu would ignore the confinement rules and rush to the Tai Chi Palace in person. In addition to being shocked, Li Xian was filled with rage.
Countless old and new hatreds surged up from the bottom of my heart. It was difficult to control myself, and my eyes instantly became filled with fine bloodshot eyes.
Calm down, you must calm down! Although the resentment in his heart is difficult to calm down, Li Xian, who has the memory of three generations, knows that this is not a place where he can be arbitrary. He quietly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and forced himself to remove all inappropriate things.
All of his emotions were suppressed, he lowered his head and followed Li Hong, walking quickly into the hall.
