Chapter 88 A thunder on the ground

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it was the middle of April of the first year of Qianfeng. The news suddenly came from the internal ban. Gao Zong was finally going to the court. This is the first big dynasty since Gao Zong came to Luoyang in February last year. The ministers were all attracted to the attention, and what made the ministers and workers talk about was that Li Xian, the king of Lu, the king of Zhou, will also be Stepping into the court, the meaning is quite thought-provoking - after Gao Zong returned to Beijing on March 18, although he had never been to the early morning, the imperial edict was not bad. He not only recalled Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao, who had been demoted from the capital, but also had been further promoted - Liu Xiangdao Jin Lifu Shangshu, Yan Liben Jinhu Department. Shang Shu and the rest of the officials who are close to the prince have also been promoted. For example, the former minister of the Ministry of Officials, Le Yanwei, Jinzhong Shushe, who participated in political affairs (prime minister); the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Lu Chengqing, Jin ceremonial department, participated in political affairs (prime minister), while Xu Yushi and Li Anqi, who originally held a neutral attitude in the court, were dismissed. At the same time, Gao Zong also deliberately The imperial edict, the prince continued to supervise the country, which can be regarded as the first time that the emperor was still in the dynasty but the prince could supervise the country since ancient times. For a time, the power of the prince Li Hongzhi rose sharply. The government affairs was almost out of the prince's handwriting, and the ministers had a vision of returning home. However, under such circumstances, Emperor Gao suddenly issued an edict in the morning and ordered Lu and the king of Tuesday to discuss politics. It's hard not to make all the ministers think about it.

What's strange? What can be strange? Others may be confused about Gao Zong's move, but Li Xian, who has been an emperor, is very bright in his heart - to put it bluntly, it's not worth a penny. This is just a check and balance. Yes, Gao Zong wants to support the prince to suppress the expanding ambition of martial arts, but he doesn't want to overdo it, in case it is Under the surge of the prince's power, if there is also a change in Xuanwumen, isn't it too late for Gaozong to cry? Obviously, the necessary precautions are naturally indispensable. There is no doubt that it is the best means of prevention to bring the Li Xian brothers, who have always been not at peace with the prince, into the court. Of course, there must be a few here. The push of the martial arts queen contributed to the flames.

The reason is very simple. As for the queen of martial arts, it is impossible to sit and watch the prince become more and more powerful. If the prince really sits firmly in the country, how can there be a stage for the queen of martial arts performance? Anyway, the queen has to find ways to create some problems for the prince. The problem is that Gao Zong's heart is because of the tragic death of the Korean wife and daughter. With resentment, it is impossible for Queen Wu to stand up in person at this time. If you can see the three brothers fighting in the court, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Queen Wu at present. When it is really time for the court to fall into chaos because of the infighting between the princes, it is time for her Wu Mei Niang to fully collect her power. This is just a long-term fishing. It's just the method of fish. It's really not surprising.

As the old saying goes: If you don't have enough strength, you should take advantage of it! Obviously, Li Xian is in this situation at this time - regardless of Gao Zong and Empress Wu's idea. This entry into the court is a great opportunity for both Li Xian and Li Xian to take advantage of the situation. Naturally, it should not be missed. In fact, Li Xian has already been fully prepared to wait for this opportunity. Come on, now, everything is ready to stop, the east wind has come, and it's time to ride the wind and waves!

The matter of early morning is not a relaxing thing for the emperor and minister. Not to mention that the time of the morning is the beginning of the court, and the time is almost time to go. It is the same thing to get up early, and eating is a big trouble. There is no other reason. It often takes two or three hours to come down in the morning. If you encounter a difficult matter, If you don't decide, you may have to go until the afternoon. There is no chance to "rest between classes" in the middle. If you are in a hurry to pee in the middle, you will have a lot of fun. If you accidentally roll down on the spot, it is not a matter of make a fool, but a big crime of rudeness in front of you. Therefore, every morning, the courtiers can always eat. If you don't eat, your body really can't stand it, then try to eat dry food. This is naturally not a problem for Li Xian, who has been used to the early morning in his previous life. Well, Li Xian got up early in the morning, finished practicing martial arts, hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes, and did not use white porridge. He ate two white pancakes to cushion his stomach, and then got into the carriage. The imperial city rushed there.

Are you excited? One point, although it is not much, but after all, it is still there. You should know that this is the first time for Li Xian to participate in the government in his life. It is naturally impossible to say that he is not excited. Besides, this court discussion is the first step of Li Xian's whole big plan. It is really not allowed to lose. A little worry is a natural thing. Because of this, this On the road, Li Xian's thoughts were also a little disordered. However, when the carriage stopped, Li Xian was completely calm. Shi Shiran got off the carriage and looked at the small square in front of Chengtian Gate. He couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Lao Liu is really a good guy. Well, you don't need to wear makeup to move on the stage. You can play the role of a student! At the first time Li Xian got out of the carriage, he saw Li Xian, the king of Lu, and the spring breeze was circling among the ministers. The forced modesty was really some exaggerated elements of acting, which made Li Xian secretly laugh. Of course, happy, Li Xian would not save the etiquette, so he hurried to the center of the square. That's it.

"Your Highness, good morning."

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

......

As soon as the courtiers saw Li Xian's arrival, they stopped talking one after another, either saying hello, or seeing the ceremony. For a while, the sound in the small square seemed particularly noisy.

"All the princes have invited, Xiao Wang is a step late, Haihan, Haihan."

For the salute of a group of ministers and workers, Li Xian did not dare to hold a big bow. He bowed with his hand and said that it was half a salute, but he did not stop under his feet and walked all the way to Li Xian. Then he stood still, bowed slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Sixth brother, good morning."

"Well, the seventh brother is here. OK, he's in good spirits. Come on, stand here, and he will open later." At the sight of Li Xian's salute, Li Xian nodded cautiously and returned the salute. He casually praised Li Xian and pretended his brother's style.

Oh, this is a love performance, it's terrible! Li Xian knows the meaning of Li Xian's put on such airs. He is just declaring to the ministers that Li Xian is the head of the Second King Alliance. Of course, for Li Xian, it doesn't matter what impression he gives to others. As long as Li Xian doesn't have a bad nature, he can do it. As for how outsiders think who is the leader of the two kings. It doesn't matter. I won't care so much about it. I answered with a smile and stood beside Li Xian humbly, but deliberately lagged behind half of Li Xian's position to highlight Li Xian's leadership position.

"Upward, upward!"

Li Xian's time was very accurate. He just arrived at the small square for a long time. That is, when he had just finished greeting Li Xian, the shouts in the palace had come out one after another. The courtiers who were originally stealing privately did not dare to neglect themselves. They quickly lined up according to the order, and the Li Xian brothers took the lead, several The prime minister followed closely, walked into the Chengtian Gate, along the Avenue in the palace, and hurried to the Taiji Hall. When he got the hall, everyone stood solemnly, waiting for the arrival of Gao Zong and the prince.

"The Holy King is coming!"

After the courtiers waited for less than a quarter of an hour, the sharp and loud shouts of Si Li eunuch Gao Hesheng came from the apse. Even if they saw Gao Zong's footsteps staggering out of the apse, the prince followed him through several small eunuchs.

"I welcome your majesty, welcome your highness!"

When the ministers saw that Emperor Gaozong and the prince were coming, they did not dare to lose. They knelt to the ground one after another and worshipped.

"All Aiqing is flat."

Gao Zong's mental state is not very good. His face is pale and haggard. At first glance, people who are less than 40 look like almost 50. As soon as he simply sits on the dragon bed, he can't help gasping a little, and the shouting voice also seems a little weak.

"Hangt, my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gao Zong shouted, and the courtiers rushed to call long live as usual, and then kowtowed and stood in two columns according to the grade and literary and martial arts, and stood one by one by one in a breath into a wooden clay sculpture.

"My dear lords, I have not been in the early morning since February. All government affairs depend on the help of the prince, and everything I am in is very in line with my mind. Now that I have come in person, what is this chapter?"

After a group of ministers stood still, Gao Zong looked around at the ministers, and then stroked the long beard on his chest. First, he praised the prince Li Hong, and then the words turned around, as if he had the intention of being pro-government again. This made the ministers and workers have a question mark about Gao Zong's previous praise of Prince Li Hong, and for a moment No one came out of the list, and they all specified the emperor's heart in surprise, and the hall was so quiet that it was a little strange.

Poor prince brother, why don't you understand that the emperor's heart is unpredictable? The more capable you can do things, the easier it is for the old man to grumble in his heart. Well, if you can deliberately make some insignificant small mistakes and give the old man some opportunities to correct him, it will be okay. Well, this time, it will be mixed with sand. No? Although Li Xian also stood awe-inspiringly like the ministers, in fact, the remnants of his eyes have never missed the change of the prince's expression. As Li Xian expected, as soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Li Hong's face became a little gloomy, which made Li Xian sigh.

"Father, I have this chapter here!"

In the silence of a school, he saw Li Xian strode to the hall, bowed and reported loudly. At that time, the eyes of the people in the hall were all focused on Li Xian.

Er, damn it, how can this bastard be so calm! Li Xian was sighing a lot before, and he didn't notice Li Xian's behavior. When he found it, he didn't have time to stop it. As soon as his heart sank, he couldn't help scolding. But now, there is no way. He can only suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart and look at Li Xian in the hall without expression. It started running fast...
