Chapter 109 All parties plan

"Your Highness."

Li Xiangang left for a short time, and Yan and Liu immediately walked out of the cubicle. In their eyes, they saw Li Hong, who was sitting behind several children, his face changing blue and red. Obviously, his inner thoughts and struggles were fierce. They did not dare to disturb at will. They could only wait silently until Li Hong looked up, and Yan and Liu hurriedly bowed and called.

"Well, I've heard it. If you have any opinions, you can say it." Li Hong nodded indifferently and said in a calm tone.

"Your Highness, this matter may not be as dangerous as His Royal Highness the King of Zhou said. Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and the Empress reconciles the government on her behalf. It seems to be reasonable. Your Majesty is just a little itchy ear, and it can be cured in a few days. It should not be in danger of the reversal of the universe. According to the old minister, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou took advantage of the fire to rob. Qi Nong, Your Highness, be careful." Yan Liben was also extremely disgusted with the Empress Wu who often intervened in the court affairs, but in his heart, he did not think that the Empress Wu could achieve any climate. In his opinion, the Empress Wu was just relying on the power of spoiling the inner palace. Although she could be proud for a while, she could not make great achievements in the end. On the contrary, Li Xian, the incommitable prince, was more reassuring. Hearing Li Hong's news, Yan Liben did not hide his opinion and opened his mouth to analyze a lot.

"Hmm." Li Hong was not in a hurry to make a statement. He just said nothing, frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xiang, who was silent, and asked indifferently, "Does Mr. Liu have any advice about this?"

"Your Highness, it's all old ministers who deserve to die. I'm in trouble for Your Highness..." Liu Xiangshivered, and his waist bent a little lower in an instant. His mouth was full of useless nonsense, which made Li Hong's eyebrows immediately wrinkle a little deeper.

"That's all. It's over. Let's talk about what those hard-working people are doing. Let's talk about how to deal with this situation." When Li Hong was in a bad mood, he was really impatient to listen to Liu Xiangdao's nonsense. Without waiting for him to finish his words, he raised his hand rudely, interrupted Liu Xiangdao's words, and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, you should bear the mistakes made by the old minister. The old minister will resign from you, and please complete it." Although Liu Xiangdao and Yan Liben are both important ministers of the prince's family, it is not the same thing. First, the time for him to turn to the prince is not long, and he is not sure that Li Hong will do his best to protect himself. Second, when he interrogated Li Yifu, Liu Xiangdao was one of the chief examiners. He had long offended Queen Wu, and this time fell to Queen Wu. In his hand, he felt that he could not escape the fate of being dismissed, and he really didn't want to go to the court to be humiliated again, so he bowed his head and replied.

"Tongshou (Liu Xiangdao's character) brother can't give up like this. In Yan's opinion, there is still a lot to do. Moreover, even if Tongshou brother resigns at this time, the queen can still gather a group of ministers in the name of the replacement. In this way, not only is Tongshou brother aggrieved, but also His Highness will be with the villains because of it. What's the benefit of fighting in the court?" Without waiting for Li Hong to make a statement, Yan Liben has inserted from the side. Although he did not say it clearly, in fact, he clearly showed his unwillingness to cooperate with Li Xian.

"Well, what Lord Yan said is reasonable, and the argument is still necessary. How can I sit and watch the villain rampant like this? If it is not harmonious, I will ask my father to uphold justice. I can't let Duke Liu suffer from this." After thinking about it, Li Hong also felt that it was extremely inappropriate to give up Liu Xiangdao without arguing for a while. Not to mention that it would chill the hearts of his ministers, he said that it was not easy to control the secretary of the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs in his hands again. Li Hong did not believe that Li Xian would act so honestly.

"Your Highness!" Yan Liben has been fed up with the anger of the Wuhou Party. He has long wanted to compete with those shameless villains. At this time, when he heard Li Hong's words, he was very excited and hurriedly praised him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but if the situation is strange and not clear today, Your Highness still needs to take precautions. If the old minister leaves office, it is inevitable. I hope Your Highness can make a decision as soon as possible." Liu Xiangdao was not as confident as Yan Liben. He was afraid that Li Hong would miss the overall situation because of his anger, so he had to say something to remind him.

"Well, may Zhao Ren be competent?" Li Hong's original intention was to take the middle strategy offered by Li Xian, but it's just not easy to say it in front of Liu Xiangdao. Now that Liu Xiangdao mentioned it himself, Li Hong also asked along the boat.

"Zhao Shilang is old and should be the best candidate."

Zhao Renben is currently the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies. He was originally Liu Xiangdao's deputy. The relationship between the two has always been good. Liu Xiangdao also intended to recommend him. At this time, when he heard that Li Hong had mentioned it himself, there was no reason to disolite.

"It's feasible."

Although each minister's book is at the same level, in terms of the obvious degree, the Ministry of Public Affairs is the leader. Yan Liben originally intended to recommend himself, but unfortunately, before he could say this, Li Hong had already said something. Yan Liben could not say more, and he could only agree with it.

"Well, that's the case. When the court is ready to discuss it, it still needs to be done by all the public. Let's inform it first. I don't want to go well in this battle!" Seeing that the two trusted ministers had no objection, Li Hong was secretly relieved, waved his hand and said firmly.

"I am obeded. Your Highness, don't worry, I am at peace with the thief!"

"I will leave."

Yan Liben expressed his confidence, while Liu Xiangdao just asked for a speech. Obviously, he was not very optimistic about the fight in this court, but he didn't say anything more. He withdrew from the study with Yan Liben and arranged a group of courtiers who were close to the prince to prepare for the battle.

"Hey..."

After Yan and Liu retreated, Li Hong sat alone for a long time. Then, he sighed and got up and walked out of the study, but his footsteps obviously dragged a lot more than usual, and his back was also cring because of it...

Penglai Palace, formerly known as Yong'an Palace, is located on the Longshouyuan on the northeast side of Chang'an City. It was built in the eighth year of Zhenguan. It was originally a summer palace built by Li Shimin for Taishang Emperor Li Yuan, that is, a palace for summer vacation. The palace has not yet been completed. Taishang Emperor Li Yuan died of illness in Da'an Palace in May of the following year, and the construction of the summer palace is also This is the end of work. So it was renamed Daming Palace in the first month of the ninth year of Zhenguan. After that, in the second year of Long Shuo, Emperor Gao changed the name of the palace to Penglai Palace and expanded it to become a large palace that was more than twice as large as Taiji Palace. However, when Fan Gaozong was paralysed, he hid in this palace for cultivation, especially the Penglai Hall adjacent to Penglai Pool, which is the most common for Gaozong to move in. At this time, Gao Zong lay in an airless room in Penglai Palace. On a hot day, he was still covered with a thick blanket and a hot towel on his forehead. Even so, Gao Zong's body was still trembling enough, and his face was as pale as paper. He kept shouting cold, but his sweat was surging wildly. The eunuchs and maids beside her were all confused, wiping their sweat, and the people who added blankets were also busy.

"Get out of here."

Just as a group of people were waiting to be busy, the well-dressed Empress Wu turned in from the screen at the door of the room. She only raised her hand and immediately scolded Yan Desheng, the eunuch of Yide Hall. The people who were busy all the time did not dare to neglect themselves. They bowed their promises and put down their hands. All the jobs went out of the house.

"Your Majesty, Xu Xiang has this chapter impeachment of Liu Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and said arrogantly commenting on the affairs of the princes. It is really a great crime of disrespect. When I heard about this matter, I deeply felt that the matter was serious and did not dare to devote myself. I would like to ask Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation." After the crowd retreated, Queen Wu walked to the bed and took out a piece of white silk from his sleeves. He gently wiped Gao Zong's sweaty face and reported in a low voice.

"The queen is self, herself, line, disposal, and place. I, I can't control so much." Gao Zong was uncomfortable at this moment. He didn't care about anything else. He replied in a trembling voice, and his tone was full of impatience.

"Your Majesty, if my concubine is easily disposed of it, I'm afraid it's not good. Can you make a settlement after a discussion?" Queen Wu didn't care about Gao Zong's impatience. While wiping the sweat on Gao Zong's face, she continued to ask unrelentlessly.

"The queen will do it, that's it, yes, I have no problem." Gao Zong was afraid of the inside, and his headache was about to crack. He really had no psychological politics. No matter what the Empress Wu said, he all agreed.

"In this case, the concubine has to be reluctant to do so, but without your majesty's will, it seems difficult for me to discuss the matter in court. Please also ask your majesty to give me an edict so that she can act cheaply." Queen Wu's voice became more and more gentle, and she pleaded cleverly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to give it, can't I give it to you? The queen just go and find Xu Xiang to come up with the charter. Gao Zong shouted angrily, but unexpectedly, he lost his breath and coughed desperately, and his face was instantly suffoed into purple.

"Come on, come on, pass on to the imperial doctor!"

When the imperial edict of Queen Wu arrived, she was first happy, but when she saw that Gao Zong was uncomfortable, she couldn't help but be anxious and shouted one after another. The eunuchs waiting outside were all busy, and a group of old doctors with white beards roared and rushed into the room, busy. Living for Gao Zong Shunqi, after a long period of busyness, Gao Zong finally got over, but his breath became short, and the heavy gasps kept ringing like a bellows, and it had been tossed for nearly half an hour before he fell asleep.

"Wang Yizheng, how about Your Majesty's dragon body?"

He finally put Gao Zong to sleep. The Empress Wu was so tired that she was out of breath, but she didn't have time to breathe, so she hurriedly summoned the doctor Wang Qi to his side and asked solemnly.

"Your Majesty's body is slightly unharmed. You can recover after a few more days' rest. The old ministers have already prescribed the prescription. Please have a look." Wang Qi is an old imperial doctor. He knows that Gao Zong's disease is incurable and belongs to an intermittent disease. He always has an attack every other day, but in front of Wu Hou, he dares not say it clearly. He can only speak lightly.

"That's good. Dr. Wang has taken a lot of trouble. Be sure to ensure that your majesty's body is healthy and pass on the will of the palace. If there is no edict of this palace, no one can disturb the holy driver. Do you remember it, huh?" As soon as Queen Wu heard that Gao Zong's life was not in danger, her hanging heart immediately fell to the ground. She did not pick up the prescription in Wang Qi's hand, but stood up and issued a ban.

"The maidservants and others obey the decree of the Queen."

Empress Wu is a one-of-a-a-word figure in the harem. Since she opened her mouth, no one dares to disobey. Although many people have doubts about this will in their hearts, no one dares to stand up and say "no". They can only promise repeatedly...
