Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 241 Anti-customer (3)

"That's enough, shut up!"

When the court debate started, the atmosphere in the hall instantly boiled up. The two sides came and went to attack each other, and all the nonsense was poured out. They were arguing with each other red-faced, just like a group of old ladies on the street. There was not even the slightest magnanimity that a courtier should have. Gaozong's eyes were stared and his mind was dizzy.

Gaozong had always been cowardly and poor in health. He often did not go to court due to illness. Even if he did go to court, it was mostly just for show. Empress Wu seldom expresses her opinion. As for getting angry, it never happened. Even if Li Yifu, the traitor of the first generation, was bullied to the head, Gaozong just kept his grudges in his heart, but he still didn't have any outbursts for his big face. Such a violent jump at this time was really scary, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned on the spot, staring blankly, this fight would not be able to continue the quarrel.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have been rude to you before the emperor. I deserve ten thousand deaths for my sins."

In the face of the furious Emperor Gaozong, the officials could keep silent, but Yan Liben, who was the right minister, was not so lucky-as the highest official among those participating in the debate, Yan Liben could hardly escape the blame, he could only be hard-pressed. Standing up with a scalp, pleading guilty with shame on his face.

"Hmph, I'm rude, what a rudeness, do you still see me in your eyes, huh?"

Gaozong's spirit was obviously extremely excited today, he was not as easy to talk as usual, and he didn't save Yan Liben the slightest bit of face, he shouted and asked angrily, with a look of reluctance.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The ministers deserve ten thousand deaths for their crimes, and they deserve ten thousand deaths for their crimes!"

When Gaozong asked such a question, not only Yan Liben couldn't bear it anymore, but also all the courtiers who participated in the debate were weak in their legs and feet, and they knelt on the ground in disorder, kowtowing their heads and apologizing one after another.

"Father, calm down. Although the behavior of the adults is a little bit out of order, but the heart is good. They all want to be loyal to the country. It is probably because this matter is important, and some disputes are normal. I also ask the father to learn from you." .”

The prince wanted to take advantage of He Lanmin's case to deal a severe blow to Empress Wu's party, so he naturally didn't want to see Gaozong press down on the matter by getting angry. Explained from the side.

"Humph!"

The reason why Gaozong was angry was not entirely because the courtiers were too presumptuous, but more because he didn't want to see Empress Wu and the prince arguing about housework in court. In the past, it was not good to be angry after such an admonition by the prince. He had no choice but to snort coldly and stop pursuing the courtiers' rudeness before him, but his face was still extremely ugly.

"Father, although Xiao Yushi's words are a bit exaggerated, but he has to guard against his concerns. As a relative of the state, Wu Min has been an official in the court for a long time. He is involved in a lot of things. He has to be judged. , I really need to be more cautious, I hope my father will make a decision."

Li Hong can be regarded as a ruthless person, since he has already torn his face with Empress Wu, he refuses to let it go. Seeing that Gao Zong was silent, Li Hong immediately made his words clearer and said that he was like beating a dog in the water Make pie.

"Well, what Hong'er said is also reasonable. Is this..."

Gaozong was not an ignorant person, although he did not like to see the fierce conflict between Empress Wu and the crown prince, but seeing that He Lanmin's matter could not be suppressed, he could only think about starting from the chief judge to suppress the situation Within the controllable range, it's just that this candidate is obviously not that easy to choose. Rao Gaozong hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing Gaozong groaning there, all the courtiers held their breath consciously, and no one dared to move a little, let alone move, even dared not take a breath, for fear of causing trouble. Gaozong's attention, nothing else, just because the presiding officer is really too difficult to be, that is the job of sitting on the crater, if you don't pay attention, you will end up in pieces, so the huge hall was so quiet Even a needle can be heard falling to the ground, and the atmosphere is oppressive and suffocating.

"Father, my son thinks that this case is so important that non-virtuous people are not enough to try it. Today, the seventh younger brother is both virtuous and capable, and has experience in handling cases. He is really the best candidate. I implore Father for a ruling." Seeing that Gaozong had held back for a long time without letting out a fart, Li Hong couldn't help showing a weird smile that was so faint that he could hardly see it, and then played solemnly.

"Your Majesty, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, and the old minister seconded it!"

"Your Majesty, the king of England is capable, and he is the best candidate to adjudicate the case, and the minister also agrees!"

"Your Majesty, no one in the world knows the power of the King of England. If he can preside over the overall situation, there will be no omissions. The ministers agree!"

As soon as Li Hong's words fell, Yan Liben immediately took the lead and loudly seconded the proposal. Immediately afterwards, not only the officials belonging to the prince's line stood up, but also many of the neutral ministers also spoke out in support.

Damn it, you bastard, prince!I was shot while lying down, damn it!Li Xian was watching the excitement with cold eyes, but he didn't expect that the prince would push himself up to the crater. He was stunned for a moment, and then his anger rose, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, wishing he could rush up and tear the prince's mouth , It's a pity that I want to return to thinking, but I can't do it. In desperation, I can only stand aside with a cold face.

"Well, Hong'er is a good idea." Gaozong was quite impressed by Li Xian's previous trial cases. Seeing that all the courtiers recommended Li Xian in unison, he was very moved, nodded approvingly, and was about to make a decision. He made a decree, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he looked sideways at Empress Wu, and asked tentatively, "Meiniang, do you think Xian'er may be competent?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and my concubine has no objection."

Empress Wu's face was very calm, and she was not moved by the recommendation of the ministers at all. It was not until Gaozong asked about it that she smiled and expressed her opinion without hesitation.

"Well, that's good, Xian'er, all the ministers unanimously recommended you, is it possible for you to try this case?"

After hearing that Empress Wu had no objection, Gaozong was relieved, and with a wave of his hand, he called Li Xian out, and asked a very kind question.

You have already made up your mind, and you still ask a fart, can you say no to this?Li Xian knew the root of this case very well, and he was unwilling to get involved in it in every possible way. The problem was that the old man had already opened his mouth, so how could Li Xian refuse him? No matter how unwilling he was, he could only Responding with a calm look: "Father and emperor have orders, sons and ministers should serve themselves."

"Okay, that's it for now!"

The big event has been decided, Gaozong's mood is getting better and better, and he doesn't want to be entangled with it any more. As soon as Jinkou opened, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the apse. Seeing this, Empress Wu felt deeply Glancing at Li Xian, he didn't say much, and followed Gaozong step by step.

"Disperse!"

Gaozong and Empress Wu had already left, Gao Hesheng, who was waiting on the front wall, dared not neglect, shouted at the top of his voice, and led a group of eunuchs, big and small, to chase after Empress Wu.

"Seventh brother, congratulations."

After the court was over, all the ministers left one after another, but the prince did not rush back to the harem, but walked slowly to Li Xian's side, cupped his hands with a smile on his face, and said politely.

"Thanks to the support of the prince's elder brother, the younger brother will never forget it."

Li Xiancheng's mansion was not as deep as usual. Although he was very annoyed by Li Hong's actions in his heart, he was very calm on his face. He just returned the salute indifferently, and replied in a neutral manner.

"Hey, Brother Prince really has a heart."

Li Xian didn't express any dissatisfaction, but Li Xian couldn't see it anymore, he sneered, and said sarcastically.

"Seventh brother has a great job, it's really hard work, I prepared some thin wine for brother, and please take the time to talk about it." Li Hong didn't pay attention to Li Xian's sarcasm at all, just looked at Li Xian with a smile. Obviously, he made an invitation pointingly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Prince. If you are free, I will go to the palace to pay my respects to Brother Prince."

Li Xian didn't want to quarrel with Li Hong on such occasions, and he didn't want to openly vote for the prince, so he responded vaguely, without expressly saying whether to go or not.

"Okay, I'm here to wish my seventh brother great success."

The crown prince was obviously convinced of Li Xian, and he didn't care about Li Xian's ambiguity at all. He laughed, flung his sleeves smartly, and led a group of eunuchs into the harem.

"What, bah!"

After being so obviously ignored by the crown prince, Li Xian turned blue with anger, he poohed lightly at the crown prince's back from embarrassment, and cursed vaguely in his mouth.

"Sixth brother, go back."

Li Xiansheng was afraid that Li Xian would say something worse, so he hurriedly helped him.

"Ah."

The matter has come to this point, no matter how much resentment and anger there is, it is useless, Li Xian is not so stupid as to go crazy on the spot, after a muffled grunt, he walked out of the palace side by side with Li Xian, intending to After returning home, I discussed the countermeasures with Li Xianhaosheng. This kind of idea is undoubtedly a good one, but it is a pity that it cannot be realized at the moment. A greeting sounded: "His Royal Highness, please stay!"

"Oh, it's Eunuch Gao, what's the matter?"

Hearing the noise, Li Xian looked back and saw Gao Hesheng leading several young eunuchs chasing up from behind, he immediately stood still, and when he arrived in front of him, he politely asked.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty has an oral order, and His Highness Xuan will see you in the Qianyuan Hall."

Gao Hesheng obviously ran very fast and was out of breath, but his articulate words were still very clear, and he hurriedly proclaimed the Holy Master's oral instructions.

"Oh? Is there any other explanation for Father?"

When Li Xian heard that it was Gao Zong's call, he frowned unconsciously, glanced at Gao Hesheng, and asked tentatively.

"That's not true, the Holy Majesty is already waiting, please, Your Highness."

Gao Hesheng was very tight-lipped, not revealing the slightest bit of information, just urging him blindly.

"That's it, that's fine, I'll go here alone." Li Xian knew that it was difficult to get the words out of Gao Hesheng's mouth, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he nodded and agreed, and made a gesture to Li Xian winked, then turned around, and walked towards the deep palace...
