On the third day of May in the second year of Linde, the Dragon Boat Festival was about to begin. It rained heavily all night. It stopped for a while until dawn, but the sky was still extremely gloomy, and the clouds were extremely low, which made people feel excited at the first sight.
Breathless and oppressive, it is really not a pleasant thing to drive in this weather. Even if there is a carriage that can block the rain that falls from time to time, the humid air is unavoidable. It has not been long since I have been on the road.
Well, the clothes I had just changed into when I got up early were already extremely damp. They clung to my body and felt sticky and uncomfortable, which made Boss Li Xian uncomfortable. In addition, he was worried about the court meeting that was going to take place in a while, and he was in a comfortable mood.
He was quite irritable, and he just managed to hold it back by cultivating his Qi. Finally, when the carriage stopped, Li Xian hurriedly got out of the carriage, almost as if he was running away. As soon as he raised his head, he saw countless glances.
Li Xian was immediately stunned when he stared at him.
Oops, what are you doing? Are we wearing the right clothes? Suddenly, he became the focus of all the courtiers' attention. Even though Li Xiancheng was a wealthy man, some people couldn't help but hesitated for a moment beside the carriage.
Then he walked slowly towards the courtiers, quickly adjusting his mentality as he walked, and when he was in front of the courtiers, his face was already full of spring breeze.
"See Your Highness."
Although Li Xian is just an idle prince with no authority in his hands, after all, the title of prince is there, and he is the most noble master in the field. Seeing him come over, how dare the ministers dare to neglect him?
, each bowed and saluted.
"You gentlemen, you are too polite, please excuse me." Seeing the ministers and ministers greeting him, Li Xian hurriedly returned the gift with his hands, and replied with a smile.
"Why are you here, Your Highness?"
Before Li Xian could finish performing the routine of Corporal Li Xian, the old Prime Minister Dai Zhide asked suddenly, his voice was calm, but the meaning of confusion and displeasure was very strong - among the five prime ministers, Xu Jingzong and Xu Yushi
They all accompanied him to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Now the officials in the court are headed by Dai Zhide. This old man has always been upright and does not like the princes fighting secretly. At this time, he saw such an idle prince like Li Xian coming to participate in the court meeting.
, naturally he didn't take it seriously. Others were wary of the prince's hat on Li Xian's head, but Dai Zhide didn't care much about it, and he didn't save any face for Li Xian in his words.
Wow, this old man really asked such a direct question! Although he had long known that Dai Zhide's temperament was born like this, Li Xian was still choked severely, muttering a few words in his heart, but there was nothing on his face.
But with a respectful and humble expression, he said with a smile: "Xiang Dai doesn't know. Yesterday, Xiao Wang received an order from the prince's brother, asking Xiao Wang to come to the East Palace to have an audience this morning. Xiao Wang doesn't know why.
thing."
"Well……"
Dai Zhide was an old official, so he knew immediately that Li Xian's words were untrue. His long eyebrows twitched, and just when he was about to say more, he saw Wang Dequan coming from the east palace gate.
He trotted out and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, announcing to all ministers that matters will be discussed in Xiande Hall!"
Entering the palace, escape quickly! Li Xian didn't want to be tortured by Dai Zhide in public. As soon as he heard the call for court, he hurriedly smiled and bowed to all the ministers, and said: "Everyone, please
Please, don't keep His Highness the Prince waiting." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away before everyone could return the courtesy.
"Xingzhi (Dai Zhide's words), why are you doing this? Don't worry about it. Gods fight, be careful of mortals suffering."
When Dai Zhide saw that Li Xian had slipped away like this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He shook his head and murmured in a low voice. The unhappy look fell into Hao Chujun's eyes, making him secretly amused. This
Then he came close to him and said something with a smile.
"Hey, that's all, let's go into the palace."
Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun were both colleagues and friends. When he heard what he said, although he didn't agree with it, he didn't want to argue with him in public. He sighed and walked towards the palace. With this move,
All the other courtiers followed him.
Li Hong was obviously very concerned about the matters to be discussed today. He arrived at the Xiande Hall early in the morning and wandered back and forth restlessly in the hall. He finally made it to the agreed time for the meeting, and hurriedly asked Wang Dequan to pass the news.
Among the ministers and workers, he himself was sitting on the big seat on the front porch. Just when he was in a trance, he saw Li Xian strolling in. He felt happy and just when he opened his mouth to say hello,
Seeing that a group of ministers headed by Dai Zhide had arrived, he hurriedly swallowed the words that were on his lips, just glanced at Li Xian quickly, and then sat down solemnly, with his back straight, maybe
It was because of excitement that his usually pale face showed a faint blush.
"I am waiting to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The ministers filed into the hall, took their seats according to their rank, and each bowed in greeting.
"My dear friends, you will be spared any courtesy."
Li Hong wanted to get to the point quickly, but he couldn't skip the necessary etiquette. Facing the courtesy of the ministers and workers, Li Hong could only suppress the feeling in his heart, smiled and raised his hand, saying
A cliche.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
All the ministers and ministers were all old officials, so there would naturally be no lapses in etiquette. After thanking each other, they stood on both sides of the hall according to the rules, except for Li Xian, who was originally standing in the middle.
There was no way, Li Xian had never gone to court seriously in his life, so there was naturally no place for him in this hall, which made Li Xian look left and right, not knowing which way to stand.
"Come here, show His Royal Highness the King of Zhou a seat."
Although Li Xian's behavior of looking around in the palace was hidden, Li Hong, who was sitting high on the front porch, could see clearly. In the past, Li Hong might have sat back and watched him make some jokes, but it was different today. After all,
Later, we have to rely on Li Xian to come forward to settle the affairs of the ministers. Naturally, we can't embarrass Li Xian. If Li Xian runs away in a rage, then Li Hong's plan will most likely be ruined. In view of this,
At this point, Li Hong made a timely announcement, which relieved Li Xian's embarrassment.
"My dear brother, thank you very much for your kindness."
Of course, no one wanted to stand if they could sit. Of course, Li Xian would not be polite to Li Hong. After thanking him with a smile, he walked to the right side and sat on the brocade pier carried by several young eunuchs.
, looking at the courtiers who were attacking with a smile, it felt very comfortable.
"Dear sirs, I have invited you to come here today to discuss only one matter. A few months ago, Shangguan Yi was unfortunately robbed on his way to Aizhou. His whole family was buried in the Li River. His body has not been recovered so far. It is so sad.
I feel sorry for you, thinking about the past demeanor of Mr. Shangguan, and I really feel guilty in my heart. I should give him a posthumous title as a memorial. Now that the matter has not been decided, I am so anxious that I specially invite you to come and discuss it for safety.
For the sake of it." After all the ministers had taken their seats, Li Hong couldn't wait to speak, and the matter was settled as soon as he spoke. Although the volume was not loud, it was full of undoubted meaning.
"Your Highness desires so much. I am ashamed of myself. I have stolen the post of Taichang Bo (another name of the Minister of Rites), but I can't share the worries of Your Highness. I have been competing for several days without making a decision. I am ashamed of my love for Your Highness. I should ask for punishment myself."
." As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, Liu Daoxiang, the Minister of Rites, stepped out from the side with tacit cooperation, and repeatedly confessed his mistakes. His face was so sad that he almost burst into tears.
Tsk tsk, the acting and acting are both excellent, yes, yes, old Liu Tou really has two skills! When Li Xian saw that Liu Daoxiang appeared, he couldn't help but feel happy, but it was not all because of watching the show.
What's more, I suddenly remembered something - when Li Yifu fell, Liu Daoxiang was one of the chief judges. This move deeply offended Empress Wu. In the previous life, when Shangguan Yi died, Empress Wu immediately took advantage of Liu Daoxiang.
Liu Daoxiang finally died of old age in a foreign land. But now, Liu Daoxiang still stays in his post as Minister of Rites, which shows that Li Xianqian was more advanced.
The hard work you have done every day has not been in vain, and it is worthy of a happy life.
"Liu Shangshu doesn't have to be like this. I know that Liu Aiqing has tried his best. It should be noted that this matter involves a final decision, so it cannot be ignored. Some disputes are normal. I just think that the dispute will be a dispute, and the discussion will be discussed.
There must be a result, but I wonder if the Ministry of Rites has any regulations now?" Liu Daoxiang is a good actor, and Li Hong is not bad either. Liu Daoxiang is still blaming himself on this end, but Li Hong has already caught up with him, completely unaware.
There was no room for others to interrupt, and the coordination was extremely wonderful.
"Returning to Your Highness, after days of deliberation, the veteran ministers and others have come up with a first draft. They plan to request the posthumous title of Mu to show Mr. Shangguan's life's achievements. It may be appropriate." Liu Daoxiang had obviously rehearsed with Li Hong in private.
In this way, you and I sang the "Errenzhuan" with great joy. After a few back and forth, the originally controversial posthumous title showed signs of being finalized.
"Well, Mu? I think this posthumous title is good too. Do you have any different opinions?" To act, you have to act the whole story. Li Hong is obviously familiar with the three flavors. He even said it is good. Next,
The question of asking everyone if they have any different opinions is simply using the identity of the prince of the prison country to put pressure on the ministers and workers, without even using a big stick, and shouting whoever dares to object will be beaten!
The prince is a semi-king, but he is not an emperor after all. Since ancient times, there have been many deposed princes. The courtiers in the palace know this clearly in their hearts, regardless of what they see on the surface.
Although respectful, he may not take the prince seriously in private, but Li Hong is different because he still wears the word "supervisor of the country" on his head. This is a fatal title. After all, he is a county magistrate.
It's better to take charge now. If Li Hong was hit with a stick at this time, he might not even have a place to complain. So, all the ministers in the hall pretended to be wooden figures, and the hall became strangely quiet.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the word Mu needs to be carefully considered."
There are always people who are not afraid of authority. No, after a period of suffocating silence, a loud voice suddenly rang out, shattering the silence in the hall into pieces.
