The ministers were in an uproar again. They really couldn't understand what was going on in today's court meeting. The two princes actually had their own agenda. It was normal for Li Xian to go to the court. After all, he had just been ordered to visit the deceased.
Once the crown prince returns, he will eventually be rewarded, but Li Xulun, a master who has only been to court once or twice in total, is also clamoring for a reward, which makes the officials a little bit embarrassed.
"What's wrong with Lun'er? I'll just play this chapter."
Emperor Gaozong had already left the dragon bed, but when he heard that Li Xulun was about to go to school, he couldn't leave just like that. He could only sit down helplessly and raised his hands with a tired face.
"My dear father, thank you for your kindness!" Li Xulun thanked him respectfully, then spread out the memorial in his hand and read loudly: "The prince is the foundation of the country. He who does not possess both ability and political integrity cannot bear the responsibility."
Therefore, today we are fortunate to have the King of England to show his virtuous
Being capable of martial arts, being a commander who can subdue border bandits, being a leader, being able to benefit all people, he is called the pillar of the country, being pure and filial and benevolent is called virtue... Therefore, the son and minister thought that Sixth Brother was the enemy of the East Palace.
I sincerely ask the Emperor Father and the Queen Mother for their approval for the two selections!"
"this……"
As soon as Li Xulun's memorial came out, the officials were a little surprised. They couldn't figure out whether Li Xu's move came from his sincerity or whether he was retreating as a way to advance. They all fell silent for a while, and Gaozong was also a little confused.
, It's not that there is something wrong with Li Xulun's memorial, but that he had no intention of negotiating the crown prince in this morning meeting. When he was suddenly mentioned like this by Li Xulun, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lun'er. This is not something you can get involved in, so I won't back down."
After failing to suppress Li Xian, Empress Wu was already in an extremely bad mood. Although she still looked graceful and calm on the surface, in fact, it was all forced on her by cultivating her energy. Now she was
When Li Xulun made such a fuss, he immediately became angry. Seeing Gaozong's unprepared look, he immediately made a decision in his heart. With a straight face, he scolded Li Xulun unceremoniously.
"Father, the crown prince is the foundation of the country. We cannot be left without a master for a day. Please ask your father to make a holy decision!"
Li Xulun had been afraid of Empress Wu since he was a child. When Empress Wu scolded him like this, his thin body couldn't help but tremble. He seemed to be unable to bear it and wanted to step back, but he held it back and did not look at Empress Wu.
Zhang Tie raised his head with a livid face and shouted loudly with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, I believe that what His Royal Highness King Yi said is true. Without the establishment of a crown prince, the country will not be in peace. I sincerely ask your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."
As soon as Li Xulun finished speaking, before Empress Wu could scold her again, Zhang Wenguan had already rushed out of the queue of civil servants and shouted in agreement.
"Your Majesty, on this occasion of the great dynasty, it is the time to discuss matters. I believe that the crown prince is indeed worthy of being appointed. I am also willing to recommend His Royal Highness to the East Palace. I sincerely request your Majesty to sanction it!"
After Zhang Wenguan took the lead, Pei Xingjian also stood up and echoed loudly.
"I have the same intention, and I sincerely request His Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England has repeatedly made great contributions to the country and is also benevolent and obedient. He is the best candidate for the crown prince. I second the proposal and I sincerely request your Majesty to make a judgment!"
"Your Majesty, please appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to appease the hearts of the people in the world!"
…
In addition to Empress Wu's party, all the courtiers actually criticized Empress Wu's administration, but they dared to be angry but dared not speak out. With the two prime ministers Pei and Zhang taking the lead, there was a burst of laughter.
Blockbusters have expressed their support for Li Xian.
"Xian'er, all the princes are interested in you, are you willing to share my father's worries?"
Emperor Gaozong originally preferred Li Xian, but he did not originally plan to discuss the matter today. Instead, he wanted to summon the prime ministers to discuss it some time later. However, now that all the ministers have expressed their support for Li Xian, Naturally, he would not object, nor did he ask what Empress Wu meant. He pressed his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet, then turned his attention to Li Xian, who was standing silently beside the hall, and asked with a smile.
"I am willing to serve my father as hard as I can, even if I die!"
Li Xian has been patiently waiting for this moment for many years, during which he spent a lot of energy and price. Now, finally, he has waited for the opportunity to go straight to the top. How can he be unhappy? His heart is already filled with excitement. , but the city was so deep that he didn't bring it to his face, but he gave a great salute very calmly and responded with the utmost respect.
"Well, well, since all the princes think that it is feasible to show off one's son, how can I go against everyone's will and just settle the matter like this? I will tell you my will and go to the Qin Tian Jian to choose an auspicious day and hold the canonization ceremony!"
Looking at Li Xian's heroic face, Gaozong smiled with satisfaction, stroked his long beard on his chest, and made his decree with excitement.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Seeing that Gaozong had already made a decision, the ministers and workers did not dare to neglect it, and they all shouted long live.
"Um."
Emperor Gaozong accomplished two major events in one day, and he was in a good mood. However, after all, his body was weak and he could not bear to sit for a long time. Seeing that the matter was over, he did not want to stay in this hall any longer, so it was easy for him to do so. After saying something, he stood up and walked to the back hall. Seeing this, Empress Wu glanced at Li Xian with a gloomy look on her face, but she didn't say anything and stood calmly. He got up and chased Gaozong.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
…
After Gao Zong left, the court discussion came to an end. However, the courtiers did not disperse as usual. Instead, they all gathered around Li Xian and cheered him up.
"Thank you so much for your love, I'm sorry for you. I'm ashamed of you."
When there are more people, there are more things to talk about. Although Li Xian has experienced a lot of big scenes, he is still a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the ministers. It's just that he can't show off his words, he can only be modest. The ground responded one by one, and by the end, my head was a bit bigger, which can be regarded as painful and happy.
"Your Highness, the King of England, congratulations. To celebrate His Highness's rise to the top of the clouds, I have prepared a bottle of wine at my house and asked His Highness to give me a compliment."
After finally sending away the over-enthusiastic ministers one by one, before Li Xian could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the Yue King Li Zhen had led his eldest son Li Chong and his second son Li Qian, who were now officials in the court. His son came forward and extended an invitation very politely.
Huh? What does this old man want to do? Upon hearing Li Zhen’s invitation to a banquet, Li Xian’s eyebrows skipped a beat without anyone noticing, but he didn’t hesitate much. He just smiled and returned the favor, saying, “Eight My uncle has an order, and my nephew should obey it. However, my nephew has been involved in worldly affairs recently and it is really difficult to escape. How about changing it to the future?"
"Then I'm so kind, so I'll just sweep the bed and wait for you. Say goodbye, say goodbye."
Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Li Zhen's face immediately showed a look of joy. Without any more nonsense, she smiled and bowed her hands, then led her two sons away.
"Seventh brother, that guy..."
Li Xulun did not disperse with the courtiers, but followed Li Xian silently. Until he saw that Li Zhen was far away, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He pointed at Li Zhen's back and planned to persuade Li Xian.
Ichiban.
"Eighth brother, I know what I'm doing. Let's go. Fifth brother will be leaving early tomorrow morning. You and I should go and see him off together."
There was no need for Li Xulun to point it out. Li Xian had long known what kind of person Li Zhen was. Although he couldn't figure out his motives for inviting her so eagerly, he didn't take it to heart very much. Besides, at this moment, the ministers
Although they dispersed, there were still many eunuchs on duty in the main hall. With so many people watching, Li Xianzi didn't want to see Li Xulun make a mistake, so he interrupted his words.
"Well, I remember it, little brother."
Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Li Xulun did not dare to say anything more. He hurriedly responded and followed Li Xian. The two brothers left the palace on their own, talking and laughing...
"Father, why did you invite that guy to your house? If the Queen of Heaven is blamed, then..."
Li Chong was originally an impatient person, and even after many years of experience in the court, he had not changed much. In addition, due to jealousy, he had always disliked Li Xian. As soon as he returned to the study room of his palace, his buttocks
Before he even sat down, he started shouting urgently. When he noticed that his father's expression was wrong and he only spoke half of the words, he couldn't continue.
"Shude, what do you think?"
Li Zhen glanced at Li Chong, but did not blame Meng Lang. Instead, she asked the question to Pei Shoude, who was smiling and silent.
"When I replied to the prince, my son-in-law thought this was a great move and it was indeed a clever move."
Pei Shoude was obviously smarter than Li Chong. He had already seen through the intention of Li Zhen's move, but he just didn't want to reveal it. Now that he saw that Li Zhen had made it clear that he wanted to give Li Chong some advice, he no longer hid his clumsiness.
, replied with a smile.
"Oh? What's so wonderful about it?"
Li Zhen was obviously very satisfied with Pei Shoude's agility. She smiled, stroked her long beard on her chest, and asked in a leisurely manner.
"The wonderful thing is your Majesty. If my son-in-law has predicted it correctly, this time His Royal Highness the King of England has entered the East Palace, His Majesty will have to give strong support. However, it is only limited by the government. Even though the King of England is capable, he has no place to display it. The person in the palace
It won't be given a place to use, so besides the prince, who else can help it?"
Pei Shoude chuckled lightly and analyzed the reasons freely, explaining the truth thoroughly.
"This is a great kindness, has Chong'er understood it?"
Li Zhen had always been extremely fond of Li Chong, the prince, and never forgot to mention something to him, hoping that he would mature as soon as possible.
"Father, I know this, but it's just my mother's fault..."
Although Li Chong was reckless, he was not stupid. Pei Shoude had already made it so clear that he would not understand. However, he was still worried that Empress Wu would get angry. After hesitating for a while, he still had to bite the bullet.
The confusion in my heart was raised.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Li Chong still failed to understand the essence of it. Li Zhen's face was obviously a little embarrassed. Although he did not scold him, his attitude was already expressed with a cold snort.
"Brother Chong, there is no need to worry too much. My Yue Prince's Mansion is the Prince's Mansion, not a eunuch in the palace. How can I allow others to scold those who come and go at will? When it comes to a critical moment, both sides have to beg for help, so how can we blame them?"
said."
Pei Shoude and Li Chong had always had a good relationship. When he saw Li Zhen acting like this, he smiled and explained from the side.
"I see, the kid knows what to do."
After all, Li Chong was not an idiot. He finally understood the purpose of his father's plan. He bowed and hurriedly expressed his stance.
"That's good. Then I'll drink a few more bottles with His Majesty the King of England. We are all young people. We can get along after all."
Seeing that Li Chong really understood, Li Zhen laughed happily, like an old fox who had stolen grapes...
