Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 336 Leadership Controversy (7)

Once a bad-tempered old man gets angry, it is definitely a terrible thing. If this person is still an emperor, it is not terrible, but terrifying. The old saying "When the emperor is angry, he will lay dead for thousands of miles" is not just for fun Yes, countless history has given clear proof that whoever dares to stand in front of the furious emperor will have only one result-death!This hall is full of elites, so naturally they don't understand such a truth.Besides, Gao Hesheng and other annoying eunuch characters, let alone helpless, even if they can help, the big guy will not reach out that hand, so, despite Gao Hesheng's wailing cry for help How miserable it was, everyone treated it like nothing was heard, no one would stand up and say a word, even Empress Wu also kept silent, not for anything else, just for one thing - dead people can't speak!
"Wait a minute!"

Just as the sword-wielding warriors outside the hall swarmed up and set up Gao Hesheng and were about to go out, Li Xian suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and blocked the way of the spear-wielding warriors.

"Ok?"

Gaozong was on fire, although most of the fire was aimed at Gao Hesheng, but a small part was also aimed at Li Xian, when he saw Li Xian appearing again, his face immediately turned a little grim, but Li Xian didn't get angry on the spot, but with a dark face, he snorted heavily from his nostrils, full of extreme displeasure.

"Reporting to the emperor, my son thought that Gao Hesheng deserved to die for his crimes, and he should be punished without a doubt. However, this thief has stolen the high position for a long time, and he is also responsible for the management of the internal treasury. The mystery of the disappearance of the imperial gift wine and meat must be related to him Can't get rid of the relationship, if you don't investigate thoroughly, why do you make an explanation to the people of the world. Therefore, I think that this thief can't be killed for the time being. After thoroughly investigating the truth, I will punish the canon severely according to the law, so as to imitate others. It's a foolish opinion, and I ask my father to enlighten me."

Li Xian knows better than anyone the reason why dead people can't speak. His various arrangements and calculations are not for the purpose of allowing Empress Wu to pass the test easily. Li Xian has completely torn his face and fought with Empress Wu hard. If there is no result, wouldn't it make people laugh their teeth off? There is no doubt that Li Xianzi could not just sit back and watch Gao Hesheng die so lightly. To overthrow him would only make sense if he got some benefits in return. In view of this, even if Gaozong's anger was a little stronger, Li Xian, who was in the limelight, would still have to grit his teeth!
"Humph!"

Although Gaozong was in a rage, but when he heard Li Xian's words, he couldn't get angry anymore. After his complexion changed for a while, he finally endured it. He didn't open his mouth to express his attitude.

"Father, my son thinks that what the seventh brother said is true. The high-ranking thief is the key to the 'Gongling' case, and must be strictly interrogated. My son is not talented, so I would like to share my father's worries!"

Although Li Xian's political skills were poor, they were not so bad that they could not be cured. Seeing the situation at this point, he would not let go of the great opportunity to beat the dog in the water, so he stood up boldly and begged for his life loudly.

"Well……"

Although Emperor Gaozong didn't take a fancy to Li Xian, since he had already established him as the crown prince, he should be given respect. Hearing that Li Xian stood up and volunteered, he was a little moved, but he was not impressed by Li Xian's ability. Somewhat uneasy, inevitably hesitated a little, mused and refused to express his opinion immediately.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good for a concubine to think that a virtuous son has such a heart. It's just that this case is serious, and after all, it needs to be handled by a mature and prudent person. The eighth uncle has always acted steadily and has rich experience. He is the presiding judge. It fits well."

The intentions of the Li Xian brothers in singing and singing together are too obvious, and they can't hide it from a shrewd person like Empress Wu. The means, not to mention that Gao Hesheng really holds a big secret in his hands, even if he doesn't have it, Li Xian will probably be able to figure out endless right and wrong, and this is obviously not the result that Empress Wu would like to see, and it can almost be said to be a matter of life and death here In fact, it is impossible for Empress Wu to back down in the slightest, so she interjected from the sidelines.

"Father, my son thinks that although the queen mother's words are reasonable, but the eighth uncle is an elder after all, my son really dare not work too much, and my son can do these things on his own."

Although Li Xian's ability is far inferior to Li Xian's, and he is not as far-sighted as Li Xian, but it is still possible to see the significance of this case, so how can you not know the importance of grasping the right to hear the case? , Since he refused to hand over the right to adjudicate the case, he hurriedly retorted.

"This one……"

Seeing Li Xian's brothers and Empress Wu collided in front of him, Gao Zong's head was so big that he looked at Li Xian, and then at Yue Wang Li Zhen who was standing silently by the side all the time. , For a while, I really didn't know how to make this decision.

"Your Majesty, I think that although this case is an important matter, I should be more cautious. However, the court affairs are cumbersome, but they should not be ignored. Now that Xian'er is in the middle palace, she must be familiar with government affairs earlier. Well, if not, I'm afraid it will be a big disadvantage to the community."

Regarding the "Gongling" case, Empress Wu could not retreat half a step. He had to make concessions in other areas, exchange the political power for the right to adjudicate cases, and strive to overcome the current difficulties before discussing the rest.

"Well, Mei Niang's words are very true. It's good that the starling handles the case. As for Xian'er, he will be in charge of the country from now on. Do you love me, what do you think about this?"

After Gao Zong's anger receded a bit, his fear of Empress Wu reappeared, and he really didn't want the housework to continue to make trouble. Holding on to it, after pondering for a moment, he finally made a seemingly balanced decision.

"Father Huang Shengming, my son has no objection!"

Hearing Gao Zong's kind approach, Li Xian knew that the hope of using this matter to bring down Empress Wu was extremely slim. Although he felt a little disappointed, he didn't care too much about it. Originally, Li Xian was so big The purpose of disturbing the trouble is to help Li Xian gain more power, so that he can support the court for a period of time. As for the complete solution of Empress Wu, Li Xian really dare not pin his hopes on the weak On the cowardly Gaozong, seeing that Gaozong had made up his mind, Li Xian was happy to accept it as soon as he saw it, so he expressed his attitude first before everyone spoke.

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

Not being able to overthrow Empress Wu, Li Xian felt much more unwilling than Li Xian, but when he saw that Li Xian had expressed his position, he didn't dare to insist any more, he could only agree with him road.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection!"

The two Li Xian brothers have expressed their opinions one after another, and all the ministers will not stand up and sing the opposite, but obviously they are not very willing to accept such a result of not doing their best. Some are limp.

"Well, then it's settled, myna, this case will be handed over to you for trial. The matter is urgent and there must be no delay. I hope myna can take more trouble."

Gaozong hadn't had the pleasure of being the master of the country for a long time. Under the high spirits, he was really complacent and didn't care about the attitude of the courtiers. He raised his eyebrows and cast his eyes on Li Zhen, smiling. exhorted.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best, and I will never dare to betray Your Majesty's great trust."

In the eyes of others, this case is a hot potato, but for Li Zhen, it is a great opportunity to have both sides. He can gain a firm foothold in the court based on the trial of this case, so he will not refuse to wait for it to come to his door. This is a very good thing, and this is a simple and neat way to get the order.

"Well, my starling is doing things, I am very relieved." Gaozong obviously trusted Li Zhen extremely, seeing Li Zhen express his attitude, his face immediately showed a look of relief, and after encouraging Li Zhen with a smile, this Then he turned his head to look at the two Li Xian brothers who were standing with hands down, stroked his long beard on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Xian'er has been smart since childhood, and he is indeed quite understanding in government affairs, but he is just in charge of court affairs and is unfamiliar with it. Inevitably, you have to work hard, if you have any doubts, you can ask me, um, or discuss with Xianer more, don't know how to pretend, do you remember?"

"Yes, my child complies."

Gao Zong's words made it clear that he was worried about Li Xian's ability, and it was not a good thing, especially for Li Xian, who was so arrogant and arrogant, it was really harsh, but on such occasions, And there is no place for Li Xian to express his dissatisfaction, except for honestly agreeing to the promise, Li Xian can only be secretly annoyed in his heart.

A fool is a fool after all, mud will never be able to support the wall!Just looking at Li Xian's expression, Li Xian knew what was going on in his heart, and he couldn't help but cursed secretly, because Li Xian really couldn't afford it--Li Xian had confessed to Li Xian a long time ago It is clear that although this move is big, the real purpose is not to defeat Empress Wu in one fell swoop, but to fight for the leadership of the court affairs. With the political power in hand, as long as you move slowly, it is not difficult to gain a firm foothold in the court situation. As for the rest of the things, when things will come to fruition, what can you do?Now the most important goal has been achieved, but he is still dreaming about the impossible, so what if he is not a fool?If Empress Wu was so easy to defeat, how could it be Li Xian's turn to be the crown prince? Li Xian would have rushed to grab it by himself.

"Since all my lovers have no objections, let's stop here today. I'm tired, so you can leave."

Gaozong lost his temper a few times, and after tossing and tossing for so long, he finally managed to finish the matter, the fatigue in his bones immediately surfaced, and when he lost his energy, he became very sleepy, and he really didn't want to discuss any more matters, so he lost his mind In the next scene, without waiting for the officials to resign, he stood up on his own, dragged his feet, and turned to the apse.
