Bachelor of the North Gate, what a Bachelor of the North Gate! After all, this floating cloud thing has come out as scheduled. Could it be that we have been busy so much and it has all been in vain? Li Xian was talking and laughing with Li Xian casually, but at the same time he was confused in his heart.
He kept reflecting, feeling quite unwilling and annoyed - with the memory of three lives, Li Xian knew the foundation of Beimen Bachelor very well. In the previous life, the reason why such a weird institution as Beimen Bachelor could be established was
It was all because the government affairs at that time had basically fallen into the hands of Empress Wu, but because she could not subdue the gang of big shots in the DPRK who were acting shady and unreasonable, Empress Wu carefully planned such an organization.
It was to bring the emperor to order the courtiers, but in the current situation, Empress Wu was not able to manage the affairs of the court in an upright manner. Although the victory in the Fengchan Taishan matter was a heavy blow to the prince Li Hong, but such a victory
After all, it was not enough to support Empress Wu to create such a freak as the North Gate Bachelor. Obviously, there must be something fishy in this, but Li Xian was a little confused as to what the strangeness was.
Although there are still some doubts about how the Beimen Bachelor was established, Li Xian has completely guessed the purpose of its appearance today. There is no doubt that this is a trial by Empress Wu - the purpose of deliberately replacing the Ministry of Rites.
There are two reasons. One is to test the reaction of Brother Li Xian. The other is to use this to send a message to the big guys in the DPRK-Beimen Bachelor will be of great use in the future DPRK situation.
, it is just a vaccination for the courtiers in advance.
This is a cancer that must be eradicated, otherwise, the future political situation will probably be even more corrupted! Li Xian made a conclusion in his mind about the Beimen Bachelor, and determined to uproot this cancer at all costs.
Of course, he also knew that this matter was difficult. His own strength alone was not enough to accomplish it, not even with Li Xian's power. He had to rely on the prince's help, but even the prince's line was not sure.
In this matter, it was Gaozong who really had the decisive role. However, Li Xian was in trouble as to how to use Gaozong. When he thought of Gaozong's cowardly character, which was eaten up by Empress Wu, Li Xian couldn't help but feel confused.
big head.
"Seventh brother, do you have any thoughts?" Although Li Xian's ability to multi-task is good, he is not an ordinary person after all. Although he didn't feel it for a short period of time, as the conversation continued along the way, as time went on, he became aware of it.
He also saw some clues, so he couldn't help but stop the original topic, frowned slightly and asked.
"Yeah." Li Xian saw through Li Xian's thoughts, and Li Xian didn't hide it. He nodded and said: "Sixth brother, I'm just wondering why my mother asked those two idiots to come to greet you and my brother. I'm afraid it's not that good here.
Just keep it simple.”
"Well, it's a bit strange. What do seventh brothers think of this?" Li Xian was also suspicious of the appearance of Li and Yan, but after his previous complaint was interrupted by Li Xian, he put it behind him.
At this time, he had already forgotten about the general, but was reminded by Li Xian. Once again, he saw that Li Xian seemed to have already made up his mind, so he didn't bother to think about it more and simply asked.
"It's hard to say. I just have a vague idea. I can't tell whether it's right or wrong." Li Xian wanted to deal with the North Gate bachelor, so he wanted to win Li Xian's support, so he pretended to be deep in thought.
Although he was hesitating, he was actually working hard to prepare a proper speech.
"It doesn't matter, we are the only brothers here. Seventh brother, just speak out if you have any thoughts. There is no right or wrong." Li Xian waved his hand impatiently and said as if he was unhappy.
"Sixth brother taught you a lesson." Seeing the impatience on Li Xian's face, Li Xian stopped pretending to hesitate. After confessing his crime, he said solemnly: "My little brother thought that the mother was doing this for her." In preparation for the administration of the government, the North Gate bachelor may be placed above the six ministries. Once this happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Huh? How is this possible!" When Li Xian heard this, his eyes immediately widened, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
How is it possible? Yes, it is indeed unbelievable. If Li Xian had not had the memory of three generations, he would not have believed that the ambition of a woman could be so strong. In fact, in the previous life, when Empress Wu first came to govern, For a while, the courtiers couldn't believe that Gaozong could go to such lengths of mischief, but this is the fact!
"Brother Six, this is just a vague thought. It's hard to prove it. If Brother Six doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it." Li Xian really couldn't tell the secret in his heart, so he could only spread his hands. , making a helpless gesture.
"This, this..." Although Li Xian always admired Li Xian's resourcefulness, after all, this inference was too shocking. Li Xian found it difficult to accept it for a while. He stuttered for a long time and did not say why. , after a long time, he glanced at Li Xian suspiciously and said, "If so, what should we do?"
"My little brother thought..." In fact, Li Xian hadn't fully thought about what to do. The reason why he raised the topic clearly at this time was just to give Li Xian a vaccination. When Li Xian asked for a solution, , Li Xian was really embarrassed. After pondering for a long time, he reluctantly spoke. Just when he was about to explain some of the methods he had thought of, he heard Zhang Che's voice coming from outside the carriage: "I'm sorry. Your Highness, the palace has arrived, please indicate your whereabouts."
"Brother Six, this matter is complicated and difficult to explain clearly at the moment. How about we discuss it later?" Li Xian didn't want to reveal the immature plan. When he heard Zhang Che's report, he immediately took advantage of the slope to make suggestions. road.
"It doesn't matter, we can't rush this matter. Let's just go to the palace and meet the father and the queen." Li Xian still didn't believe in Li Xian's judgment. At this time, he saw that the conversation could no longer continue. , but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He nodded, lifted the curtain, bowed and got out of the carriage.
"Your Majesty has an oral edict to announce that King Lu Li Xian and King Zhou Li Xianren will pay homage to you at the Heart Palace!"
Soon after the two brothers Li Xian handed over the sign at the palace gate, the eunuch Gao Hesheng led the two young eunuchs out of the palace in a hurry, and stood reservedly about four steps away from the two brothers Li Xian. He stood up and proclaimed Gaozong's oral edict in a drawl.
"My son, I will thank you for your father's holy grace." Although it was just a verbal message, the etiquette of receiving orders is still indispensable. After the two brothers thanked each other as usual, they stood up separately. What was surprising was that after Li Xian stood up straight, he ignored Gao Hesheng at all and walked towards the palace gate. Li Xian smiled and walked towards Gao Hesheng, avoiding the attention of others. With a flick of his fingers, a folded "Hundred-Guan Flying Banknote" fell into Gao Hesheng's sleeve without anyone noticing. Then he smiled and said hello with his fists: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao." "
Li Xian was well-known in the palace for his generosity. Those who went to the King of Zhou to convey orders could always come back with a full load, so much so that the eunuchs who went on business trips to the King of Zhou became a job that the eunuchs were vying to do.
Sorry, although Gao Hesheng has never experienced this personally, he has heard about it many times in the past. At this time, the color of the stacked flying banknotes that Li Xian flicked into his sleeve was obviously "Bai Guan".
Even though he accepted the filial piety from others, he was still shaken violently. The smile on his fat face immediately became brighter. He quickly bent down and politely replied: "Your Highness, you're welcome, old slave."
Not worthy of it."
"Eunuch Gao, my father, and my mother have always been good. Didn't Miss Taiping make a scene?" Li Xian had long known that Gao Hesheng was Empress Wu's confidant and a key figure in helping Empress Wu master the palace's intelligence system. Naturally, he would not have
He wanted to win over his thoughts, but he might as well get close to him, as he might be able to take advantage of it at some point, so he chatted happily with Gao Hesheng without any pretense of being a prince.
"Okay, everything is okay. The little princess can now walk a few steps. Your Highness..." Although Gao Hesheng has a high and powerful position, in front of princes like Li Xian, he is just a slave. Li Xian has questions.
, he naturally did not dare not answer.
"Seventh brother, stop grinding mushrooms. It's not good to keep your father waiting for a long time." Seeing Li Xian chatting endlessly with a slave, Li Xian became impatient and stopped at the palace gate with a frown.
, said without looking back, and interrupted Gao Hesheng's words rudely.
Hey, this guy still can't change his old habit of looking down on others. If he acts like this, he will inevitably offend others. No wonder he still can't sit still even if he becomes the prince! Seeing that Li Xian was impatient, Li Xian was not good at it.
After chatting with Gao Hesheng for a long time, he said something to Li Xian in his heart, but he still smiled brightly on his face. He nodded apologetically to Gao Hesheng, quickened his pace, fell half a step behind, and followed Li Xian.
Beside Xian, he walked silently along the palace avenue toward the inner sanctum.
Luoyang Palace and Chang'an Taiji Palace are both old palaces inherited from the Sui Dynasty. The difference is that Luoyang Palace was originally mostly destroyed by war. At this time, Luoyang Palace was rebuilt on the original site. The decoration is more indicative of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Whether it is the main hall of the front palace, the Wanxiang Shrine, or the main palace of the inner palace, the Qianyuan Hall, they are all gorgeous and majestic, with gilt and carved dragons everywhere, red walls and yellow tiles, cornices, carved beams and painted buildings.
Through the flowered lattice window, it is truly magical, bizarre, brilliant, and majestic. In short, its beauty cannot be overstated. However, Li Xian has no intention to pay attention to these beautiful scenery in front of him. There is only one question in his mind from time to time.
Circling - why are you meeting at Renxin Hall this time?
As far as Li Xian knew, the Renxin Palace was just a relatively inconspicuous palace among the thirty-six imperial palaces. It was located in the northwest corner and was a little out of the way.
The Yi Palace is far away, so it is not really a good place for an audience. Due to emotional and rational reasons, neither Emperor Gaozong nor Empress Wu should arrange the place to receive their son who came from afar, unless there is some mystery inside, but what is the mystery?
Why did it make Li Xian think a little, but this question did not exist in Li Xian's mind for long - when Li Xian saw the situation in the palace for the first time, the mystery was revealed.
