Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 333 Leadership Controversy (4)

Gaozong's body collapsed completely. Although he would not be bedridden, it is an indisputable fact that his body is getting weaker and weaker. That's why more than half of it collapsed, not to mention the complicated government affairs, even Qianyuan Hall, the main hall of the harem, he didn't have the heart to take care of, except for occasionally walking in the back garden when he was in a better mood every day, Most of the time is spent on the couch, either flipping through idle books, or doing nothing, just staring at the ceiling in a daze, the spirit of previous years has long since disappeared, and he is like an old man who is dying Just people.

"Father!"

"The child kowtowed to the father."

It was hot today, and he was not in a good mood, Gao Zong really didn't want to move, no, he lay on the couch and became dazed again, he didn't see Princess Taiping and Li Xulun rushing into the room.Li Xulun was still behaved, he stood a long way away from the wooden couch, and greeted him politely, but Princess Taiping didn't realize this, she called delicately, twisted her small body and rushed to the couch.

"Hey, my little princess is here, what's the matter, don't you study Chinese today?"

Although Gao Zong was not in a very good mood at the moment, when he saw Xiao Taiping coming, he immediately became happy, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Taiping's pink and tender face, and asked with a smile.

"Father, look at what you said, how long has it been, I have already finished studying."

Little Taiping twisted his body in reluctance, pouting and climbed onto the couch, sticking to Gaozong's body with a grunt.

"Oh, it's my fault, is it okay?"

Gao Zong really loved Xiao Taiping very much from the bottom of his heart, seeing him pouted, he hurriedly smiled and coaxed him.

"That's about the same, ah, by the way, Father, do you know that brother Hong's tomb was burned, those rebels are too hateful, Yue'er is so angry, hmph, it's time to copy the nine clans of those thieves !"

After Xiao Taiping acted coquettishly for a while, she finally remembered the business, and hurriedly poured out all the bits and pieces of news she had heard, not forgetting to add her own judgment on this matter.

"What? What's going on? Why didn't anyone tell me? Lun'er, tell me!"

Regarding Li Hong's death, Emperor Gaozong was extremely guilty. He knew that his death was unjust, but he did not dare to issue an order to investigate thoroughly. But Gao Zong got anxious, and his complexion instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot. He turned over, jumped off the bed, waved his hands angrily, and asked angrily.

"Returning to the father, the minister has heard a little bit about it, so I ask the father to inquire."

Li Xulun had been waiting for Gao Zong's words for a long time. Seeing Gao Zong's anger was quite frightening. replied.

"Say, I'm listening!"

Gao Zong waved his hand impatiently, brushed away Li Xulun's support, and made peace in an annoyed manner.

"Yes, father calm down, and let the child explain in detail." Seeing Gaozong's anger was very strong, Li Xulun didn't dare to delay any longer, so he took a small step back, bowed his body and said: "According to what the child said You know, before the Dragon Boat Festival, my father issued an edict to give wine and meat to all the people in Jingshan. He didn't receive the wages, and there was a disturbance, but Liu Yi, as the supervisor, couldn't be loyal to his duty. Not to mention, even the mausoleum was burned because of it. The elder brother of the crown prince and the elder brother of the king of Ying did not dare to be negligent when they heard about it. You and many courtiers are all blocked outside the palace gate, and now things seem to be getting out of control, so please ask father emperor to check!"

Li Xulun's eloquence is quite good, he didn't even catch his breath when he finished speaking, he was very organized and emotional, and the things were roughly explained clearly, but the open confrontation between Empress Wu and the prince and others was hidden in it. But even so, Gao Zong Longyan was furious, trembling all over.

"Where is your mother? Why didn't you report such an important matter to me earlier?"

Gaozong was so angry that he had already put aside his fear of empress Wu in the past, waved his hands angrily, glared at Li Xulun, and reprimanded Li Xulun viciously, regardless of whether he was the person in charge of the matter or not. stand up.

"Father, Emperor Mingjian, if it is not for the son and minister who did not come to report earlier, he will not be able to enter the door. If it is not for the younger sister, even the son and minister will not be able to enter this palace."

Seeing Gaozong getting angry at him, Li Xulun's face turned pale immediately, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart, and answered with a trembling voice.

"Huh? There is such a thing?"

When Gao Zong heard the strange words, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned his eyes to Princess Taiping who was timidly standing aside.

"Father, myna is right. That bastard Sun Quanfu stopped Yue'er from entering the palace earlier."

Although Princess Taiping is small, her mind is not small. Now that she is in such a field, she has already vaguely guessed that there may be housework between Empress Wu and her three elder brothers, and she hesitated for a while, not knowing where to stand. Which side is right? However, after Li Xian's handsome face flashed in his mind, Princess Taiping had already made a choice, so she bit her lip and unceremoniously sued Sun Quanfu .

"You're really brave, I'm not dead yet, let's go, let me have a look!"

Gaozong's personality is weak and cowardly, and he would not get angry under normal circumstances, but when he really got angry, it would be a disaster. Under this anger, he really had the killing spirit of Emperor Taizong back then. They walked towards the outside of the hall, but there was not a single bit of sloppiness. Seeing this, Li Xulun and Princess Taiping did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed behind Gaozong.

"The old slave kowtows to His Majesty."

Earlier when Li Xulun and Princess Taiping broke into the palace, Sun Quanfu knew that something might be wrong, but he didn't dare to leave his post without authorization, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to Empress Wu, while he himself led the palace restlessly. People guarded outside the Qianyuan Hall, and when they saw Gaozong walking out of the hall with a black face, he knew that something had happened, but he didn't dare to hide, so he had to bite the bullet Going forward, tremblingly saluted and greeted him.

"Snapped!"

When Gaozong saw such a posture in the small square, how could he not know what Sun Quanfu and others were doing? In a rage, without saying a word, a big boss threw out his ear slap viciously, and twitched Sun Quanfu fell to the ground crookedly.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down!"

Facing the furious Emperor Gaozong, Sun Quanfu did not dare to speak out to defend himself, he could only crawl and kneel down on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, begging for forgiveness.

"Dog, dare to imprison me, what a big dog, come here, drag this guy down to me, and die with a stick!"

Emperor Gaozong was in a hurry, but he didn't realize that Sun Quanfu was a person who was in front of Empress Wu. He raised his hand and issued the order to kill without mercy.

"Forgive Your Majesty, Forgive Your Majesty."

Hearing that Gao Zong said that it was death, Sun Quanfu was frightened immediately, stretched out his hand to hug Gao Zong's leg, and cried and begged.

"Why, don't you understand what I'm saying? Why are you still standing there, pull it down, die!"

Li Xian had sued Sun Quanfu last time, because Gaozong was afraid of Empress Wu's face, he didn't want to care about Sun Quanfu. Seeing that he dared to lead people to try to make him empty, how could he bear it? All the servants stood there dumbfounded, their anger grew a little bit, they glared and roared angrily, which scared all the servants into shock, they didn't dare to hesitate any more, they all agreed , rushed forward, set up Sun Quanfu and dragged him down.

"Hmph, a bunch of bastards!"

It has been a long time since Gaozong had such an outburst. After this outburst, although his anger had calmed down a little, his heart was aroused. With a flick, he strode towards the Deyang Hall... "I want to report to the empress, the old minister has already asked the two highnesses, and it is said that it was Eunuch Gao's speechless words that angered the two highnesses, and this happened. What the truth is, we need to conduct a detailed investigation to find out, besides, the old minister has passed on the imperial edict, but the two His Highnesses insist on meeting the saint, and the old minister has nothing to do, so I ask the empress to learn from her."

Almost at the same time when Gaozong walked out of the Qianyuan Hall angrily, the Yue King Li Zhen strolled back to the Deyang Hall, and made a big salute to the Empress Wu who was sitting on the top, and reported it unhurriedly. Some, seemingly scathing words, are actually full of nonsense, without any personal opinion in it.

"It's time for my eighth uncle."

Empress Wu saw through the calculations at both ends of Li Zhen's first mouse at a glance, but she didn't tell the truth in public, she just waved her hand lightly, signaling Li Zhen to back down by herself, then stood up slowly, looked around at all the important officials in the hall, with a tone of voice He said sadly: "My dear friends, the second son is rude and has kept you waiting for a long time. Let me ask you to tell me how to deal with this kind of resistance and non-compliance."

Say?To put it bluntly, it is obvious that the two kings and the Empress Wu are having trouble with housework, and if they join in, they will definitely seek their own death. Neither of these two parties is easy to mess with. God knows that cloud is going to rain. Before a victory or defeat, it is the only choice to be wise and protect yourself. The big guys are all sensible people, so they are not willing to speak easily on this matter, and they all pretend to be wooden people, even the most important tool for Empress Wu. Minister Jia Dayin was no exception, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange.

"What? Are you all dumb, huh?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Empress Wu's face darkened again in an instant, she snorted sinisterly, and glanced at Jia Dayin coldly, which clearly meant that Jia Dayin should take the lead in responding to the previous round.

"Mistress Qizuo, the old minister thinks that such rebellion and disobedience must not be condoned, and must be severely punished!"

Sensing the murderous intent in Empress Wu's eyes, Jia Dayin didn't dare to pretend to be dumb anymore, so he could only bravely stand up and yelled in a bravado, which could be regarded as setting the tone for the palace discussion. As for whether it can be done, in fact, Jia Dayin himself There is no certainty in my heart.
