Chapter 129 The Prince's Counterattack 6

The early morning on September 28 of the first year of Qianfeng finally arrived under the different expectations of all parties. Li Xian got up early in the morning. After practicing martial arts, he hurriedly used two pancakes for breakfast. All the way to the small square outside Chengtianmen, he got off the carriage and immediately felt the strong and almost substantial tightness in the square. Zhang Yi, the courtiers who used to be divided into countless small circles in the past were vaguely divided into five major pieces this time - the princes led by Yan Liben, Le Yanwei and other officials were one group, the Lu Wang group led by Li Xian was another group, and the descendants led by Xu Jingzong were another group. As for Dai Zhide and other courtiers. It is one group, and the remaining small number is Li Xian'an's close ministers who inserted into the court. There is a clear difference between the people and horses of the parties, and there is a tendency to resist the court. As soon as this posture comes out, it is really a little tense. Li Xian couldn't help frowned slightly, but he didn't say much. After a short pause, he raised his feet and went up to the square. Go over.

"Your Highness, good morning."

"Your Highness, you are here."

......

Over the past few years, Li Xian has repeatedly performed well in the court. The courtiers have seen it in their eyes and dare not despise Li Xian because of his youth. When Li Xian was about to come, they bowed their hands and said hello one after another.

"Morning, my father-in-law."

Today's court is a big deal. Even Li Xian has made full preparations, but he is still not too down-to-earth. At this time, he is really not in the mood to greet the courtiers. However, he can't lose his courtesy. He can only respond with a strong spirit and responded with a smile. Then he walked slowly to Li Xian and nodded with a smile. It was after greeting, and Li Xian obviously had no intention to talk about those false gifts. He also nod and signaled, which was regarded as a return. After the two brothers only exchanged a understanding look, they stood side by side.

"What's the matter? It's almost an hour. Isn't it early today?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the edict announced. Oh, just wait."

"Well, what time is it? Are you still waiting, alas..."

......

Time passed quickly in the waiting. The Mao time that was supposed to open the court had already passed. It was about to arrive, but the Chengtian Gate was still tightly closed. There was no sound on the drum tower, let alone saw the eunuchs coming to announce the decree. The courtiers waiting in the small square were all dumbfounded and didn't understand today. In the end, the voice of private discussion immediately became noisy.

"Seventh brother, I'm afraid something will happen in the early morning today."

Not only the courtiers were impatient to wait, but also Li Xian, the king of Lu, couldn't calm down. He looked sideways at Li Xian, who had always been silent, and said tentatively.

Is it strange? It seems to be a little strange. The smell is a little wrong. Is it possible that there is trouble in the palace again? Li Xian was as calm as before, but he was actually nagging in his heart. Although he didn't know what the problem was, he had a bad hunch from the bottom of his heart. It was just that this was not a separate occasion. Li Xian could only say, "Six brother, wait and see."

"Hmm."

In fact, Li Xian also knew that it was useless to ask about this matter, but he just asked for peace of mind. After listening to Li Xian's words, he couldn't say more. After humming sullenly, he could only wait patiently.

"Dong, Dong, Dong..."

Just as the courtiers were waiting anxious, the big drum on the corner of Chengtianmen was finally ringed. Immediately, the heavy Chengtianmen was also slowly pushed away from the inside. At the same time, the sound of the eunuchs' shouting also spread out from the deep palace. The early morning finally began, and the courtiers did not dare to neglect. They stood in a good line according to the grade, marched into Chengtianmen, and trotted all the way to the Taiji Hall. However, as soon as they entered the Taiji Hall, all the courtiers immediately looked dumbfounded, and the sound of inhaling in surprise kept ringing one after another.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, it should be the courtiers waiting for the arrival of the emperor in the early morning, but now the father and son of Emperor Gaozong have arrived at the hall first. One sits high on the dragon bed and the other under the front. This situation has become the emperor and other ministers. This is obviously not in line with the system, but it is not a big deal. After all, It's already an hour, and it's past the beginning of the morning. As an emperor, when he is late, there is nothing wrong with the ministers. What really horrified the courtiers is that there is a bead curtain hanging behind the side of the dragon bed. There is a person sitting behind the pearl curtain. Although he can't see his face clearly, everyone knows that he can sit on the front. It can only be the Empress Dowager Wu. The ominous term "listening to politics with the curtain" immediately appeared in the minds of all the courtiers. For a moment, Wen Wu of the whole dynasty was stunned.

Father, father, can you always be more cowardly? A good emperor is always regarded as such virtue by you! When everyone was surprised and inexplicably surprised, Li Xian was the first to come to his senses and quickly glance at the situation in the hall. When he saw that Gao Zong's face was full of fatigue and embarrassment, while Prince Li Hong's face was full of grievances and indignation. How could Li Xian not guess the root cause of the delay in the early morning? Nine times out of ten was because the Empress Wu was forced to hang the curtain. Listening to the government, the prince firmly opposed and quarreled with each other, which caused a delay in the early morning. Obviously, Gao Zong finally supported Wuhou. In this matter, the prince was completely defeated!

"I will see your majesty!"

After the courtiers panicked for a while, they soon came to their senses. No matter what kind of mood they were, they could not avoid it. They knelt to the ground one after another and worshipped, but their voices were quite messy and disappeared from the solemnity of the past.

"All Aiqing is flat, flat."

The courtiers were weak when they saw the salute, and Gao Zong's voice was also exhausted. It could even be said that it was perfunctory, and his interest was obviously extremely low.

"Thank you, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The voice raised by Gao Zong was dim and hoarse, and the hearts of the courtiers were immediately tightened. However, at this moment, no one dared to ask questions. They could only thank them according to the old practice. After getting up, they fell into their positions according to the grade. For a moment, no one dared to stand up for this chapter, and the court was strangely quiet. Come on.

"Cough." Gao Zong waited for a long time and looked at the fact that no one had said anything. He was a little embarrassed. Then he coughed twice and said, "What do you want to play?"

The dead silence is still the dead silence of a faction. Even if Emperor Gao Zong has already said something, the courtiers still dare not talk nonsense, but it is not really nothing to play. In fact, during this period of time, the affairs of the dynasty have been very complicated, not only the war in Liaodong, but also the reform of imperial examination and even the affairs of river industry in the DPRK are in full swing, which it appears. There are countless kinds of problems. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many contradictions, not to mention the court scandal that just happened a few days ago. A group of ministers and workers have different views on so many court affairs. They should have been raised one by one at this time of the Great Dynasty, but the current situation is too strange to be confused. Under the situation, no one was willing to stand up to be the first bird, so the civil and military ministers in the palace were all dressed up wooden people, and the hall was as quiet as a ghostland.

Everyone else can stand it, but Li Hong can't stand it anymore. In one of He Lanmin's things, he has been slapped in the face by Queen Wu. It is not an exawe of saying that it hurts his heart and lungs. He wanted to make a surprise attack in the morning today, but he didn't expect to go forward, Queen Wu. Unexpectedly, he appeared with Gao Zong and said that he wanted to listen to the government, which made Li Hong unbearable. He didn't care much about ethics and unethical. He expressed extreme dissatisfaction on the spot. He fiercely clashed with the Empress Wu and tried to fight strongly against the last time, but Gaozong failed the **/wei of the Empress Wu, and actually persuaded Li Hong to accept it. Such an unprecedented strange thing, poor Li Hong was full of complacency, but he could only accept such a shameful ending to the extreme, but he did not want to give in. However, in such an early morning occasion, as a prince, he could not take the lead in coming forward. In desperation, he had to suppress his heart. The impulse, Xiao Ming, the imperial historian, gave a suggestive look.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

Xiao Ming is Li Hong's absolute confidant. He has long been under Li Hong's secret order and is ready to attack at any time. When he saw that Li Hong gave a "action" code, he did not dare to neglect it. He flashed out from the end of the civil servant queue, walked quickly to the hall, bowed to Gao Zong, and reported loudly.

"Aiqing can only play it. I'll just listen to it."

After waiting for such a long time, someone finally got the book. The embarrassment in Gao Zong's heart was slightly reduced. But as soon as he saw that Xiao Ming, the prince's confidant, wanted to get the book, Gao Zong couldn't help but feel a little panic. However, it was worth it at this time, but he couldn't help Xiao Ming to open his mouth. After thinking about it, he was still encouraged. He forced his mouth to agree to Xiao Ming's invitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Xiao Ming thanked his kindness meticulously, and then did not open the book he was holding in his hand. He said, "Weichen wants to impeach Duan Baoxuan, the vegetarian restaurant of Dali Temple, and ignore political affairs, so that the Dali Temple is rotten. What's more, Yuan Gongyu and Hou Shanye, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are embarrassed to be traitors, and they are in vain. Unexpectedly, there are more than 3,000 cases in Dali Temple. What's more, these two thieves colluded with Qiu Shenfu and other subordinates to buy people's lives and corrupt the law. Their sins are unforgivable. I beg your majesty to issue an edict to strictly investigate this gang of thieves and return the clarity of my court!"

"Boom..."

As soon as Xiao Ming's impassioned words came out, the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty was stunned. No one would have thought that the prince would take action this time, and he would have the momentum to meet the Empress Dowager Wu. Not only the neutral courtiers were surprised and inexplicably, but the Queen Wu's party was also confused because Xiao Ming's book was not the party in advance. The script, as for the courtiers who were close to the prince, were also shocked, because the secret order they originally received was to concentrate their firepower to impeach He Lanminzhi, but they never expected that Xiao Ming's head would be such an amazing move. Everyone was shocked and all of them got up, and there was an uproar. The film is as noisy as a vegetable market...
