Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 317 The overall situation is initially determined (2)

Gaozong was very angry, and the consequences seemed to be very serious. All the people in the hall were silent, but they didn't even dare to take a breath, lest they accidentally provoke the emperor's wrath, especially Li Xian, who had just made an ugly appearance. His complexion was as pale as paper, but Li Xian's expression was calm and composed, as if he had never seen the old man's black face that was so gloomy that water dripped out. Li Xian, who was standing beside him, was terrified, fearing that the old man's attack on Li Xian would affect himself. His handsome face in the past was distorted to look ferocious, and the sweat on his forehead flowed like a waterfall. He really didn't understand where Li Xian got such calm courage.

Are you afraid?There is a little bit, but definitely not much, because Li Xian has already seen the helplessness behind Gaozong's anger. In fact, the matter has come to the present situation, and it can be said that it is completely according to the route that Li Xian had planned in advance. As we were leaving, everything was going smoothly, so Li Xian had nothing to worry about. Of course, the old man was so angry. After discussing the matter, Li Xianbao might have to take the lead. With mental preparation and countermeasures, I am not afraid of getting hit with multiple boards, so I am very happy, just wait around.

"Your Majesty and the Empress will be greeted by the ministers."

It was decided that the Crown Prince of the East Palace was a major national event. Although Pei Xingjian and others did not participate in the trick of Li Xian's gathering of officials, they were always paying attention to the progress of the matter. No one dared to be negligent, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Pei Xingjian and other important officials arrived at the Qianyuan Hall in unison, starting with Pei Xingjian, and all the people paid respects and paid respects.

"It's all free."

Gao Zong was not a person with full of personality. After a little delay, most of the anger in his heart had already subsided. Hao took everyone to vent his anger, sighed slightly, and some people cried out in dismay.

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Pei Xingjian and the others are all good people. Seeing that Gaozong's face is not very good-looking, each of them can't help but grumble in their hearts, but the voice of the three shouts of long live is unambiguous at all, it is really loud tight.

"My dear friends, Hong'er..."

After Pei Xingjian and others took their positions, Gaozong looked around at the crowd, bit his lower lip, and planned to bring up the matter of discussing the crown prince, but as soon as Li Hong's death was mentioned, Gaozong's eyes immediately turned red Got up, choked up and couldn't continue, obviously, it has been a month, and Gao Zong couldn't let go of Li Hong's bizarre death.

"My lords, the long expanse of the East Palace is not the blessing of the community. It is advisable to make a decision in the morning. If you have any opinions on this, you may wish to discuss it." Gaozong broke down in tears, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became strange When she got up, Empress Wu had to give a fake cough when she saw this, and interjected from the side.

Proposal?Is this a good thing to discuss?This is Prince Yi, if one accidentally stands on the wrong team, the consequences may not be as simple as dismissal from office, and the family may even be confiscated, not to mention that the two princes who are most likely to enter the East Palace are both standing in this hall Looking at it from above, who dares to express his opinion easily-don't look at Li Xian leading the ministers to support Li Xian, but in the eyes of the important ministers, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Xian is not playing a trick of retreating to advance, especially When the holy will is not clear, no one dares to speak nonsense, so no matter how gentle Empress Wu said, all the ministers fell on deaf ears, everyone shut their mouths tightly, and everyone pretended to be a wooden man. Immediately, there was a dead silence in the hall.

Seeing that the big guys were all silent, Li Xianke became anxious, wishing to jump forward and recommend himself, but he didn't have the guts, besides, in such occasions, even if he dared to recommend himself, he would not see him. If things can be done, if they make trouble, they will be underestimated by the big guys. In desperation, they have no choice but to look to Li Xian for help, hoping that Li Xian can help him say something good.

This guy really can't hold his breath, that's all, if he doesn't move anymore, I'm afraid this guy will do something stupid!Li Xian really didn't like Li Xian's eagerness, but there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing that Li Xian was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were bulging, Li Xian smiled wryly in his heart, and was about to go out When picking his head, he saw that Le Yanwei had already stood up first, so he had to stop there.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Lu is both virtuous and capable, and he is also the eldest son, so he is the best candidate for the East Palace. I implore His Majesty to order you!"

Le Yanwei has been quietly observing the Li Xian brothers, seeing that Li Xian seems to be ready to force his way under Li Xian's pleading eyes, he cannot help worrying that Li Xian's move will further anger Gaozong, so he made a decisive decision. He stood up first and reported aloud.

"Well, do gentlemen care about this?"

Gao Zong was not too fond of Li Xian, but in front of all his ministers, he couldn't say anything, he could only say a word calmly, and it was not appropriate to comment on Le Yanwei's suggestion, and he was like Wang Gu left and right In terms of his posture.

All the important officials in the palace are people with keen minds. Even if Gaozong didn't say it clearly, the big guys can still hear the unfinished words behind these words. The meaning of the head is not yet clear, if there is something wrong with the speech at this time, I am afraid that the two sides will not please, keeping silent will become the unanimous choice of the crowd.

"Xian'er, do you have any disagreement with Le Xiang's words?"

Gaozong's meaning was really too obvious, Empress Wu couldn't really let Li Xian into the East Palace, seeing all the ministers remained silent, Empress Wu didn't think that the matter was safe, so she rolled her eyes and said nothing. Politely, he directly called Li Xian's name, what he wanted was for Li Xian to express himself, so as to silence the mouths of Emperor Gaozong and even the officials.

Heh, this old thief never forgets to trick me, it's really insidious!Li Xian's political skills are very clever, and he can see through the intention of Empress Wu's move at a glance, but he doesn't care about it, probably because Li Xian didn't plan to enter the East Palace at this time, so he naturally He was so happy to push the boat along the water, so he stepped out of the row proudly, bowed to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, and said loudly: "What you said when you returned to the empress mother, my son thought it was true. The sixth brother has both civil and military skills, and both moral and ability. , I should be the East Palace, and I would like to assist the sixth elder brother, so as to achieve the foundation of our Great Tang Dynasty, I implore the father, the emperor, and the mother to make a decision as soon as possible, so that the hearts of the people in the world will be reassured!"

"Well, Xian'er's words are very good. The ancients said: Brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can cut gold. If you two brothers can work together for the country, your mother and your father will have no worries. Your Majesty, what do you think?" Empress Wu He didn't want to see Li Xianshi in every possible way. Hearing what Li Xian said, he immediately took advantage of the situation and affirmed it, and then asked Gaozong in a pretentious manner.

"Well, do you have any doubts?"

Seeing that the matter was basically irreversible, Gaozong felt very lost in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute Empress Wu's opinion in public, so he had no choice but to make a vague sound, and immediately cast his eyes on the man who stood indifferently. I hope that Li Zhen and others can come forward and talk about it to see if the situation can change.

"Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness King Lu is indeed worthy of the position of the East Palace, but in terms of talents and merits, His Royal Highness King Ying seems to be better. Of course, this is just my humble opinion. Please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Sensing Gaozong's sweeping eyes, all the kings immediately looked at Li Zhen, as if Li Zhen was the only one to look forward to, and Li Zhen didn't refuse, and strode into the palace, admonishing him out of a public heart .

"Brother's words are quite reasonable. Establishing a reserve is the foundation of the country. I dare not be careless. What do you think about this proposal?"

Seeing that the King of Yue really lived up to his expectations, Gaozong's heart immediately became active again, and before Empress Wu could express anything, he immediately expressed his approval.

As soon as Gaozong said this, all the ministers saw it clearly. They dared to say that Gaozong and Empress Wu had great differences on the matter of establishing a crown prince. It was obvious that they were going to confront each other in court. Under such circumstances, they did not dare The ministers of Yan Yan immediately became more cautious, and no one wanted to be involved in the dispute between the emperor and empress. After all, wealth and life were important, and it was not so easy to be the "Second Shangguanyi".

Old man, old man, we are going to be doomed by you!Li Xian didn't expect that Gaozong would still refuse to give up at this time, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He didn't think that the king of Yue was really speaking for him, but it was just burying a nail—according to Li Zhen, Li Xian He is more capable than Li Xian. If Li Xian is established, how should Li Xian, a more capable prince, be arranged?For the sake of the stability of the country, even if it is not cut down, I am afraid that I will have to go far away to other places. How could this be a good word? I just couldn’t hear it when I was born in Gaozong. It really made Li Xian a big head Not young or old.

"Father Huang Mingjian, my son thinks that the eighth uncle's words are wrong. It is not my son's self-effacing. If it is about sweeping all sides, the sixth brother is not as good as my son. But when it comes to government affairs, my son has some confidence, but he is not as good as the sixth brother." My brother is so far away, my son is willing to conquer all directions for my father and sixth brother, and bring peace to the world, if I go against this wish, the world will not tolerate it!" Li Xian was forced to the corner, he had no choice but to take out a swearing method, in court Initiated the oath.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er's filial piety is really commendable. If you can have a son like this, your Majesty and my concubine are truly blessed. Seeing Xian'er and Xian'er supporting each other makes me ecstatic. This matter should be settled." !" Empress Wu obviously didn't want to see the matter go on forever, and didn't wait for Gaozong to speak, so she gave Li Xian a high-five, smiled and praised Li Xian, and then made a decision in an unquestionable tone, without even a trace of Including the meaning of Gaozong.

"Well, that's good, let's settle the matter like this."

Although Gaozong was dissatisfied, he didn't have the courage to turn against Empress Wu on the spot. After pondering for a moment with a cloudy expression on his face, he had no choice but to raise the white flag.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Now that Emperor Gaozong had opened the mouth of gold, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief and praised him endlessly. However, it is hard to say what is in everyone's mind.
