Chapter 53 Necessary Lessons 3

On the third day of May in the second year of Linde, the Dragon Boat Festival was coming. It rained all night. Until dawn, it stopped a little, but the sky was still extremely gloomy. The clouds were extremely low, which made people feel breathless and depressed at first sight. It is really not a pleasant thing to rush on the road in this weather, even if there is a carriage. To cover the rain that floated down from time to time, the wet and stuffy air was unavoidable. It didn't take long to go on the road for a long time. The clothes that had just changed when I got up early were already damp. They stuck to their bodies and felt uncomfortable, which made Boss Li Xian uncomfortable. In addition, he was worried about the things that would take place in a while, and I was quite in a good mood. Irritability, that is, relying on the effort to nourish his spirit, he finally waited until the carriage stopped. Li Xian almost rushed out of the car as if he had fled. As soon as he raised his head, he saw countless eyes staring at him, which immediately stunned Li Xian.

Er, what the hell? Are we wearing the wrong clothes? Suddenly, it became the focus of the sight of the courtiers. Even if Li Xian's city was deep, he couldn't help but chatter for a while and hesitated beside the carriage. Then he slowly walked to the courtiers and quickly adjusted his mentality while walking. When he got the ministers and workers, he was already full of the image of spring breeze.

"See Your Highness."

Although Li Xian is also an idle prince, he has no power in his hands, but after all, the title of the prince is there, and he is the most noble master in the field. When he sees it, how dares to neglect and bow down and salute.

"You are all polite. Let's not do it." Seeing the ministers and workers salute themselves, Li Xian quickly bowed his hand and replied with a smile.

"Why did Your Highness come here?"

Without waiting for Li Xian to perform the routine of virtuous sergeant, the old prime minister Dai Zhide suddenly asked. His voice was flat, but the incomprehension and unhelloval was very strong inside - among the five prime ministers, Xu Jingzong and Xu Yushi accompanied him to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Today, all the officials are led by Dai Zhide, and they have always been Geng Zhi was not happy with the princes' secret fight. At this time, when he saw such an idle prince as Li Xian running to participate in the court, he naturally didn't look at it very much. Others were afraid of the prince's hat on Li Xian's head, but Dai Zhide didn't care much, and he didn't save any face for Li Xian in his words.

Well, this old man is really asking so directly! Although he had been familiar with Dai Zhide's nature for a long time, Li Xian was still choked fiercely and muttered a few words in his heart. However, his face was full of humility. He said with a smiling face, "Dai Xiang doesn't know anything. Xiao Wang received an order from the prince's brother yesterday, so that Xiao Wang came to the East Palace this morning. Xiao Wang didn't know anything about it. What's the matter?"

"Well..."

Dai Zhide is an old official eunuch. As soon as he heard it, he knew that Li Xian's words were not true. His long eyebrows trembled. Just as he was about to say more, he saw Wang Dequan trotting out all the way from the gate of the East Palace and shouted, "Your Highness the prince's words, declare the matter of the ministers and the Hall of Xiande!"

Enter the palace, run away quickly! Li Xian didn't want to be tortured by Dai Zhide in public. As soon as he heard the shouting, he hurriedly bowed to the ministers and said, "Your Highness, please. Don't let the prince wait." As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for everyone to return the salute. He had already slipped away first.

"Xingzhi (Dai Zhide's character), why are you suffering? Don't worry about it, immortals fight, be careful of mortals."

As soon as Dai Zhide saw Li Xian slipped away like this, he couldn't help but be a little angry. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice. The unhappy look fell into Hao Chujun's eyes and couldn't help making him secretly laugh. He came to his side and said with a smile.

"Oh, that's all. Let's go into the palace."

Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun are both colleagues and good friends. At this time, they listened to what they said. Although they did not agree with them, they did not want to argue with them in public. They sighed and raised their feet to the palace. When he moved, the rest of the courtiers followed him...

Li Hong was obviously extremely close to what he wanted to discuss today. He arrived at the Xiande Hall early in the morning and wandered around the hall uneasily. He finally made it through the agreed discussion time. He hurriedly asked Wang Dequan to pass on to the ministers. He sat on the throne in front of him and was in a trance. However, when he saw Li Xian stroll in, he was overjoyed. Just as he opened his mouth and was about to say hello, he saw that a group of ministers led by Dai Zhide had arrived. They hurriedly swallowed the words that had come to their mouths back into their stomachs, but quickly gave Li Xian a look, and then sat solemnly and his waist was straight. Perhaps it was because of excitement. His always pale face showed a faint blush.

"See Your Highness the Prince!"

The ministers and workers marched through the hall, stood in positions according to the level of quality, and bowed to each other.

"All of you, Aiqing, don't be polite."

Li Hong couldn't wait to get to the point quickly, but the necessary etiquette could not be saved. In the face of the courtesy of the ministers and workers, Li Hong could only force the deer jump in his heart, smiled and raised his hand and said a routine.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

All the ministers and workers are all old officials and eunuchs. Naturally, there will be no mistakes in etiquette. As soon as they thanked him, they stood on both sides of the hall according to the rules. Only Li Xian, who was originally standing in the middle, suffered - there was no way. Li Xian really didn't go to the court in his life. Naturally, there was no place for him in this hall. Li Xian looked left and right and didn't know which side to stand on.

"Come on, let's see a seat for His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

Although Li Xian's behavior in the hall is hidden, Li Hong, who is sitting high in front of him, can see clearly. In the past, Li Hong may have sat and watched him make some jokes, but today is different. After all, he has to rely on Li Xian to deal with the ministers and workers later. Naturally, he can't embarrass Li Xian. In case Li Xian is angry. When he ran down, Li Hong's big plan was probably yellow. In view of this, Li Hong announced it in time, which was a solution to Li Xian's embarrassment.

"Thank you very much for your goodwill."

Naturally, no one wants to stand when you can sit. Of course, Li Xian will not be polite to Li Hong. After thanking Li with a smile, he walked to the right hand side and sat on the brocade piers carried by several little eunuchs. He looked at the courtiers who were doing it with a smile, which was also very comfortable.

"All Aiqing, I invite you to come today. I only want to discuss one thing. A month ago, the old man Shangguan Yi was unfortunately robbed on his way to Aizhou. He was all over the door in the Lijiang River. So far, he has not been able to find the bones. His feelings are pitiful. He is lonely and the old man Shangguan's past demeanor. He is really guilty. He should ask for it as a sacrifice. Now The matter is indecisive, and I am in a hurry. I would like to ask all the public to come and discuss with each other to make sure that it is safe and appropriate. When the ministers stood in place, Li Hong couldn't wait to open his mouth. As soon as he spoke, he set the matter. Although the volume was not high, it was full of indisputable meaning.

"Your Highness is very much, and I am ashamed. I steal the position of Tai Changbo (an alias of the Ministry of Ceremonies), but I can't share my worries for Your Highness. After a few days of competition, I have not decided. I am ashamed of my kindness to Your Highness, and I should ask for my own punishment." As soon as Li Hong's words fell, he saw Liu Xiangdao, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and tacitly flashed from the side. He repeatedly made mistakes, and his face was extremely painful, so he almost cried.

Tut-tut, the acting is excellent, not bad, not bad, old Liu really has two brushes! Li Xian saw that Liu Xiangdao came out, and he couldn't help but feel happy, but it was not all because of watching the play. What's more, he suddenly remembered one thing. When Li Yifu fell, Liu Xiangdao was one of the chief judge. This move deeply offended Queen Wu. In his previous life, as soon as Shangguan Yi died, Queen Wu immediately opened Liu Xiangdao. With a knife, he kicked it to Shuozhou to garrison the border. He was not allowed to beg for his old age, which made Liu Xiangdao finally die in a foreign country. But now, Liu Xiangdao is still in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies. It can be seen that Li Xian's efforts in the past few days were not in vain, and it is worth stealing and happy last time.

"Liu Shangshu doesn't have to be like this. I know that Liu Aiqing has done his best. It should be noted that this matter involves the conclusion of the coffin. It can't be ignored. Some disputes are also normal. It's just that I think that I will fight back and discuss it. In the end, there must be a good result, but I don't know what regulations the Ministry of Ceremonies have now?" Liu Xiangdao's acting skills are good, and Li Hong is also not bad. Liu Xiangdao is still blaming himself. That Li Hong has already picked up his mouth, and he has never left the slightest gap for others to interrupt, and the cooperation can be said to be wonderful.

"In the words of Your Highness, under the deliberation of the old minister and others for days, there has been a preliminary draft, which is proposed to be called 'Mu', in order to show the merits of the senior official's life, or it may be appropriate." Obviously, Liu Xiangdao had already rehearsed with Li Hong in private. In this way, you sang the "two-person transfer" happily. After a few back and forth, there are signs that the nickname, which was originally controversial, has been finalized.

"Well, 'Mu'? I also think this nickname is good. Do you have different opinions? In acting, you have to play the whole book. Li Hong is obviously familiar with the three flavors. He opened his own golden mouth and said it was good. The next sentence to ask the big guy what different opinions are simply to put pressure on the ministers and workers with the identity of the crown prince of the prison. He almost didn't take a big stick and roared, who dares to object? Let's see!

It's true that the prince is half a king, but after all, it's not the emperor. Since ancient times, the deposed prince has been too many. The courtiers in this palace are as clear as a mirror. No matter how pious the surface is, they don't see the prince as the same in private, but Li Hong is different, only Because he still has the word "supervision of the country" on his head, this is a terrible title. After all, it is not as good as a county magistrate. If he is hit by Li Hong's stick, he is afraid that he can't even find a place to complain. Therefore, all the ministers in the hall put on wooden people, and the hall became strangely quiet.

"Your Highness, I think the word 'Mu' still needs to be considered."

People who are not afraid of authority always exist. After a suffocating silence, a loud voice suddenly sounded, which shone the silence in the hall into pieces...
