Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 721 They Are All Acting (1)

I have a headache, Gaozong really has a headache, no matter who is playing behind the scenes, the investigation cannot be investigated, no matter what the truth is found out, it is a discredit to the Tian family, this one Gao Zong knew it well, if the problem is not thoroughly investigated, how should he explain to the world, after all, this matter has already become a turmoil, and coercion is absolutely unstoppable, after all, it must be done properly Only when it is dealt with, Piansheng is a "proper" word is not correct, poor Gao Zong is not a first-class wise person, how can he think of a good way, he is so distressed that his forehead is covered with beads of sweat.

"Xian'er has always kept the word 'discourse' in every word. I think he must have a plan in mind. You might as well say it out, so that your father and mother can take a closer look."

What Empress Wu had planned for a long time was completely destroyed by Li Xian. On the surface, it seemed normal, but in his heart, he longed to tear Li Xian into pieces. If this is the case, and Li Xian was idle on the sidelines like a person with nothing to do, how can he not see it, so he fiddled with and kicked the problem back to Li Xian's feet.

"Well, what Mei Niang said is true, Xian'er has always been very wise, and there must be a safe calculation, so let me listen to it."

Gao Zong was anxious, and when he heard Empress Wu's words to relieve himself, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and climbed up the pole handed over by Empress Wu very simply.

Haha, this old thief is really worrying!

Li Xian had long expected that Empress Wu would do something like this, but he didn't care too much about it. However, he didn't intend to vent his feelings easily, but pretended to be embarrassed, frowned, and grimaced. Said: "It's not easy to investigate this matter, but it's hard not to have an explanation."

"As the saying goes: To untie the bell, one must tie it. Since this matter started because of Xian'er, then please ask Xian'er to do his best."

The more embarrassing Li Xian was, the more Empress Wu would not let him go, so she interjected with something to say.

Hey, look at what this old villain said, she is really relentless, her heart is really damnable!

Gaozong was anxious at this moment, he couldn't understand the subtext in Empress Wu's words, but he felt that the taste of these words seemed wrong, but Li Xian saw through Empress Wu's careful thinking as soon as he heard it. He just wanted to bury a thorn in Gaozong's heart, but he didn't care much about it. He pondered for a while and said, "The mother's words are serious. The father and the mother have something to do. The child should obey his work. This is the law of human relations, and the child dare not say goodbye." , Although I am thinking a little bit now, I don’t know if I am right or not, I also ask the emperor father and the queen mother to make it right.”

"Oh? Xian'er has any ideas, let's talk about it."

As soon as Li Xian had an idea, Gao Zongke regained his energy, and hurriedly asked questions.

"My father and my mother clearly learned that this matter is so violent, there must be a pusher behind it, and the fundamental purpose is to alienate the family relationship of my family. However, in my child's view, most of the courtiers involved in this incident In this category, I originally hope that my Tang Dynasty will be prosperous forever, but the good intentions are maliciously used by villains, which will lead to the current situation. Therefore, I think that the heart of the ministers should be the most important thing. Only in this way can we keep the peace of our court, otherwise, everyone will be in danger, and the court situation may be in chaos."

Li Xian and Zhang Jianzhi discussed the corresponding countermeasures when they noticed the wind of persuasion blowing. Every detail has been carefully considered. With the city in mind, there is nothing to fear The problem is difficult to solve, but Li Xian didn't forget to counter the attack of Empress Wu's verbal hint before explaining the solution.

"Well, Xian'er's words are very reasonable. As for the affairs of the court, it is better to be stable, but what is the meaning of the word 'stable'?"

What Gaozong was afraid of was chaos, and what he wanted was stability. Whether Empress Wu overwhelmed Li Xian, or Li Xian defeated Empress Wu, it was not the situation Gaozong wanted to see. He was very satisfied with his attitude, and the lingering doubts about Li Xian dissipated, but he had some doubts about the series of words and deeds of Empress Wu, but it was not too much. It's nothing more than a thin thread, of course, under Empress Wu's consistent prestige, no matter how many doubts he had, Gaozong didn't have the guts to go to Empress Wu for further investigation, and it was Gaozong's greatest concern to deal with this matter as soon as possible. Things.

"Father, my child has already said before that in order to stabilize the court, you must first settle down the hearts of the officials. If you want to do this, you must first dispel the evil thoughts of black hands and alienation from my family in heaven. Only in this way can you We can solve this matter from the root, if not, there will be disturbances sooner or later, in view of this, I implore Father Emperor and Mother Empress to personally preside over the discussions in the Political Affairs Hall, so that we may have a unified understanding."

Gaozong wanted to be stable, so Li Xian did not hesitate to give him a false impression of stability. Li Xian did not want to follow Taizong's old path, so he would not care about temporary gains and losses, not to mention that such gains and losses are just superficial tricks that have nothing to do with the overall situation. It doesn't have much influence at all, just because Li Xian is now full-fledged and has the power to compete with Empress Wu's coming to power. It is gratifying to be able to supervise the country, but it doesn't matter if he can't. On the day of Beng, I will settle the final score with the queen party members, so it doesn't matter if I give up a little bit of face at this time.

"Huh? Xian'er means..."

Although Gao Zong was not a wise man, after all he had been emperor for many years, he still lacked basic political skills and common sense. Li Xian had already spoken so clearly, he could naturally hear what Li Xian said from his heart. It lit up immediately, but he still had some doubts, because Li Xian seemed to have to make a relatively large sacrifice, at least in Gaozong's view, this price was not small, he had to worry about Will Li Xian repent before the battle, he hesitated to test half of the words.

"Father Huang Mingjian, the ministers and assistants in the political affairs hall are the role models for the officials. If you want to calm down the hearts of the ministers, you must first appease the ministers. The emperor father and the queen mother jointly preside over the affairs of the political affairs hall, which is enough to explain everything. It's not difficult to make a decision on this matter."

The left and right things have come to the present, and Li Xian has no intention of playing tricks to force the palace. As for the gesture, Li Xian will not hesitate to do it thoroughly. If you can successfully understand the doubts and fears in Gaozong's heart, why not do it.

"Well, Xianer's words are very true, what does Mei Niang think?"

In Gaozong's view, if Li Xianke backed down, it would not be difficult to resolve the matter, but he was also worried that Empress Wu would have other thoughts on the other side. , that was not the situation that Gao Zong liked to see, so he turned his head to look at the expressionless Empress Wu, and tentatively asked a question.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection, and everything is up to His Majesty's holy order."

Empress Wu made such a big scene, even at the risk of being forced into the palace by Li Xian, what she wanted was not the result of the current turmoil that ended without a problem, but it was a pity that one move was wrong, and Li Xian made every step of the way. It was so easy to disintegrate inadvertently. Now that she is in such a field, she is also helpless. Do you want to object, but you can't find a suitable excuse? At the same time, you are also worried that Li Xian has another ambush. Do you agree? Contrary to her original intention, the problem is that she can't find a better way to cheat Li Xian at this moment. Facing Gaozong's expectant gaze, Empress Wu has no other choice but to agree. "Well, that's good, that's it, come on!"

Empress Wu's acting skills are very good, although there are all kinds of reluctance in her heart, she can express 12 points of sincerity. With Gaozong's little political ability, I can't see the nuances in it. This is also agreed from the bottom of my heart, and I will not hesitate any more, so I raised my voice and drank a scorpion.

"The old slave is here!"

Cheng Denggao had just been reprimanded before and lost two of his three souls. Now when he heard Gaozong's summons, he dared not delay the slightest. He rushed into the room almost as if rushing, and hurriedly bowed to answer.

"Go, get the soft chariot ready, I'm going to drive the political affairs hall!"

With a solution to the turmoil, Gaozong was very confident, he completely forgot that he hadn't even used his lunch yet, and hurriedly made an order.

"No, the old slave obeys the order!"

Hearing that Gaozong was going to the Zhengshitang instead of looking for trouble with himself, Cheng Denggao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, not daring to have any other thoughts, he hurriedly responded, and then ran out.

"Wait a minute!"

Before Cheng Denggao could leave, Li Xian suddenly called out from the side.

"Huh? What else is there for Xianer?"

Li Xian's yell came so suddenly, Gaozong couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, fearing that Li Xian would change his mind, he hastily asked a question.

"Father, you haven't had a meal yet, and the ministers are obviously the same. It's getting late at this time. If you are too hungry, I'm afraid it's not good. I think you should ask the imperial dining room to hurry up." Prepare some meals and use them together in the political affairs hall."

Li Xian was originally a meticulous person, and when it was time to show filial piety, he would definitely not miss it. Facing Gaozong's puzzled eyes, Li Xian saluted respectfully and replied with a concerned face. .

"Well, okay, Xian'er's words really please me, so let's do it like this!"

Li Xian didn't say anything, Gao Zong didn't feel hungry yet, after mentioning this, Gao Zong realized that he had put his heart behind his back, and there was no reason for him to be wrong.

"No, the old slave will do it now."

Now that Emperor Gaozong had spoken, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to delay any longer, and after a respectful reply, he trotted out of the bedroom, commanding a group of eunuchs, big and small, to get busy, pass on the meals, prepare them The preparation of the chariot, the huge Zichen Palace was suddenly busy. After a long period of preparation, everything was finally ready, and Gaozong and his family of three took three soft chariots to the front palace. The political affairs hall went.
