Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 315 Seeing or not seeing

"Mingzhang? Very Mingzhang, make it clear!"

After Gao Zong was stunned for a long time, he finally came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he snorted in extreme dissatisfaction.

"Returning to His Majesty, Prime Minister Dai never confessed, the old slave really doesn't know."

Seeing Gaozong's unhappy face, Gao Hesheng dared to talk nonsense, and put all the responsibility on Dai Zhide's unclear words as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hmph, useless things, go, Xuan Dai Zhide will see you right away!"

Hearing Gao Hesheng's words, Gaozong immediately woke up, vaguely aware that the matter might not be simple, and immediately became in a bad mood, waved his hands impatiently, and cursed in a vicious voice.

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

Now that Emperor Gaozong had made the decree, Gao Hesheng dared not be negligent, bowed to accept the promise, and hurriedly left the dormitory, going to work without mentioning it.

"Hey, these two little bastards have been messing around all day long. I really don't want to worry about it. It made the brothers see a joke."

Gaozong is a little cowardly, but he is not stupid. Although he has not seen this chapter of the ministers, he can guess that Li Xian brothers are doing something very famous, and he is very disappointed in his heart, probably because of the establishment of the prince. , Gaozong took a lot of thought, and took all kinds of measures, just for the sake of a stable society. He really didn't want to have a white-haired person send a black-haired person to happen again. This painstaking effort was smashed into pieces by Li Xian brothers in such a reckless move. Gao Zong was very annoyed that he could not be free. Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the brothers, Gao Zong's heart suddenly became more bitter. It's a little bit, but the matter has come to this point, I am afraid that Gaozong will not follow the steps, and Gaozong can only sigh with a wry smile in desperation.

A group of princes may not be all good people, but they are in the Tian family, they have long been used to the complexity of Tian family affairs, don't think Gao Zong said it was a joke, but who dares to really laugh, Don't make jokes, I dare not even say a word casually, just because if I say something wrong at this time, the serious consequences may not be fun, so a group of princes all pretended to be wooden people , There was no reaction at all, and Gaozong himself didn't know what to say, the people in the room just fell silent in such a strange way, and the atmosphere in the dormitory was suffocating for a while.

"The old minister kowtows to His Majesty."

In the unbearable loneliness, there was a sound of hasty footsteps, and Dai Zhide, who was sweating all over his head, had turned quickly from behind the screen. Seeing Gao Zong sitting on the couch with a dark face, Dai Zhide's face changed instantly , but didn't dare to look more, rushed forward in a hurry, and wanted to pay respects.

"No, no, let's talk about it, those two bastards are doing a lot of tricks."

Gao Zong was very angry, he didn't have the heart to play with Dai Zhide those vain rituals, before Dai Zhide knelt down, he waved his hand impatiently, and hurriedly asked for details.

"Yes, back to Your Majesty, the old minister and Prime Minister Zhang are on duty today. Around noon, courtiers gathered in front of Dongqi Gate, but there was no change, and the ministers were not easy to ask. Before and after the time, His Royal Highness King Lu and Ying His Highness Wang came hand in hand, saying that there is a book to be published, and the ministers dare not neglect it, so they can only accept the book according to the law, but the officials behind them also followed the book. This is a big matter, and if you are not a minister who can seize it, you can only report it to His Majesty urgently, and ask His Majesty for an order."

Seeing Gao Zong's unlucky face, Dai Zhide didn't dare to delay a bit, so he bowed and hurriedly reported the clues of the matter.

"Hmph, nonsense!"

Although he had already had a hunch, but he heard the truth, Gaozong still couldn't help being furious for a while. He lifted the brocade quilt on his body, and got out of bed angrily. He didn't wear clogs, and just walked back and forth in the bedroom barefoot. He looked like he was in a state of desperation.

"Your Majesty calm down, I think that all the ministers and workers are also thinking about the stability of the country. Even if their behavior is poor, their hearts are good."

When Gaozong had such an attack, all the princes in the room were dumbfounded, they couldn't sit still, they all stood up, and looked at Gaozong who was obviously on the verge of going crazy with embarrassing expressions. People were silent like cicadas, but Yue Wang Li Zhen didn't care much, raised his eyebrows, and explained a sentence in a gentle manner.

"Ah."

For King Yue, a capable elder brother, Gaozong still trusted him very much. Although his heart was full of anger, he still didn't refute King Yue's face. He sat on the couch, silently sulking, and didn't see a word for a long time, everyone saw this, but they didn't dare to speak out at will, and the bedroom suddenly became dead silent again.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu, His Royal Highness King Ying, and other officials such as Le and others handed out signs outside the palace gate to see you." In the dead silence, Gao Hesheng crept in and reported bravely.

"Ok?"

Hearing the noise, Gao Zong suddenly raised his head, and glanced at Gao He Sheng with extreme displeasure, but didn't say whether he saw it or not.

"Your Majesty, please clarify."

The signs for Li Xian and others had been handed over a long time ago, but Gao Hesheng didn't report it in time. Instead, he went to report to Empress Wu before he came to ask Gaozong for instructions. He Sheng couldn't help feeling guilty, but he didn't dare to dodge, so he could only lower his head and remind him again.

"Go, just tell me..."

Although Gaozong's political ability is not great, he has been the emperor for so many years, how can he not know that if he really meets the ministers at this time, the matter of establishing a crown prince may have to be settled, and this is obviously not in line with Gaozong. Zong Yuan's original prediction was that he was unwilling to give in, so he opened his mouth impatiently, intending to directly reject the requests of the officials, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a shrill voice coming from outside the bedroom. The voice said: "The empress is here!" Gao Zong had to swallow the words he hadn't finished speaking.

"I have seen the empress."

Amidst the rustling sound of her sleeves rubbing against each other, the Empress Wu, who was in neat court attire, was already marching gracefully into the bedroom, surrounded by a group of court ladies. .

"You don't have to be polite, uncles, please be at peace."

Empress Wu walked slowly to the couch, first gave a blessing to Gao Zongfu who was at a loss, then turned around, raised her hand, and cried out gently.

"I am waiting to thank you, Madam Long En."

All the princes may not be afraid of Gaozong, but no one is afraid of the cruel and merciless Empress Wu. Even if the smile on Empress Wu's face is so beautiful, the princes still feel a little guilty in their hearts. He shut his mouth tightly, and no one dared to express anything at this moment.

"Meiniang came just in time. Xian'er and Xian'er are leading the courtiers to make a fuss outside. I am upset and don't want to discuss matters, so I am about to send them all away." As soon as he saw Empress Wu, Gaozong had long since lost the momentum he had when he was angry. , Some sons stammered the matter vaguely.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the courtiers and concubines have no different opinions, but since this matter has been made clear, it will spread all over the world in a few days. I am afraid it is not good to suppress it. Moreover, it is not a matter that the position of the Eastern Palace is vacant. My son, after all, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible, this concubine is too shallow to hear, so I ask your majesty to order it."

Who is Empress Wu? Gaozong's self-conceived calculations, in the eyes of Empress Wu, are nothing more than child's tricks, not worth mentioning at all. Of course, Empress Wu also knows that Li Xian now has Li Xian's support. The general trend has come, and it is extremely difficult to prevent him from entering the East Palace, let alone supporting that little boy Li Xulun. However, Empress Wu didn't care much. After all, Li Xian was much easier to deal with than Li Xian. It is better to let a relatively mediocre person like Li Xian become the prince if a powerful person like Li Xian enters the Eastern Palace. As for the potential of joining forces, Empress Wu also had a corresponding plan, and she is not afraid that the two kings will turn against each other. Under such circumstances, she is naturally unwilling to comply with Gaozong's wishes. This seems to agree, but actually opposes it. expressed his own opinion.

"Well, that's it, I, I..."

Gao Zong could not say anything about Empress Wu, nor did he have the guts to oppose Empress Wu's opinion, but he didn't want to admit it, he hesitated and refused to issue an edict.

Seeing Gaozong hesitating and hesitating there, Empress Wu was not in a hurry to urge him, but gave a look to Li Zhen, the king of Yue who was standing aside.Seeing this, Li Zhen nodded knowingly, took a few steps forward, bowed to Emperor Gaozong, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I think what the empress said is very true. The decision can also reassure the hearts of the subjects, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers and others also feel the same way. Please make a clear judgment, Your Majesty."

Seeing the king of Yue raised his head, the three kings Jiang, Ji, and Cao did not dare to neglect, and each went forward, admonishing in unison.

"This..." Gao Zong was originally a person who didn't have much opinion. Seeing that all the brothers agreed with Empress Wu's words, he lost all confidence in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he said, "When the decree goes on, it's said that I'm not feeling well. I really can't bear the troubles of the court. I'll have a look at the chapters of all the ministers and workers, so I'll leave them first. In addition, Wang Xian of Xuanlu, Wang Xian of Ying and Pei , Hao, Zhang, Le Sixiang and all the ministers will come to Qianyuan Hall to have an audience immediately!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Gao Hesheng had obviously been waiting for Gaozong's decree for a long time. As soon as Gaozong's voice fell, the other Gao Hesheng couldn't wait to receive the decree, and hurriedly led a few young eunuchs to rush He walked out of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The crowd ignored Gao Hesheng who left in a hurry, and only cared about praising Gaozong.

"Forget it, let's all go with me and take a look, and see how long those two bastards are going to toss."

Although Gaozong agreed to the second king's invitation, he still felt uncomfortable and didn't want to listen to the people's nonsense, so he waved his hand in a dispirited manner, and let the little eunuch who served beside him wear it for him. The dragon robe, dragging his feet, walked to the front hall, and when the crowd saw this, they dared not be negligent, and each flocked to follow behind.
