Chapter 280 "Xiongqi" Gao Zong Xia

There are more and more courtiers who stand up to agree with Xiao Ming. At the end, more than 50 courtiers have bowed and stand on the hall, which has exceeded a quarter of the total number of courtiers. There are still many important ministers such as Yan Liben and Le Yanwei. Their feelings can only be described in one word - shocking and condensed. The pressure is so great that it is really amazing. If a person with a slightly weaker nerve, he is afraid that he will collapse on the spot, but Li Xian doesn't care at all. When the advice of the courtiers is like the breeze brushing his face, if he doesn't say his face to face, he doesn't even frown, as if what the ministers said has nothing to do with himself. Of.

Worried? Not at all! By now, Li Xian can see it more clearly than anyone else. In his opinion, what he should worry about is not himself, but the prince who thinks that the overall situation is in control. The reason is simple. As the saying goes, whether he is extremely prosperous or not, whether he should come or not - not look at the prince's current power and prestige, but the most fundamental one. The prince is just a prince, half a king, not an emperor. Is it the result of trying to suppress the emperor with momentum? He can only lift a stone and hit his own foot. Even if Gao Zong has always been cowardly, he must not tolerate a powerful prince. Control and balances and suppression are inevitable. In a word, the prince is in a hurry. I'm afraid it's going to suffer a lot. As for how much the prince will suffer, Li Xian doesn't care at all. The left and right are so complacent that he deserves to be beaten by Haosheng. What really deserves Li Xian's attention is the trend of the Empress Wu, which is really the key to determining the change of the political pattern for a long time to come. In.

"Pei Aiqing, as the left prime minister, is the head of the ministers. I want to hear what Aiqing thinks about this matter."

As Li Xian expected, as more and more courtiers stood up, the smile on Gao Zong's face faded more and more. At the end, it was already full of haze, but it did not come out, but abandoned the ministers and ignored the name of Pei Xingjian.

As soon as Gao Zong heard the name of Pei Xingjian, the courtiers who were shouting immediately calmed down. Everyone's eyes were focused on Pei Xingjian, who was the head of the courtiers, because of Pei Xingjian's humanistic and martial arts skills, and his military achievements, and he was also famous for his courage to speak, whether it was personal prestige or a strategy of the world. Talent is the only person in the Tang Dynasty, and the words from his mouth are extremely important.

"In reply to your majesty, this is the family affairs of the son of heaven. I dare not hear about it, only your majesty's holy judge."

Pei Xingjian is a rare wise man today. He sees himself a little more far-reaching than others. In the depths of his heart, he always believes that the rear of Wu is the root of the chaos. However, because there is a lesson from the establishment of that year, when Pei Xingjian is the prime minister, he always does more, says less, and secretly gives a lot to the party of Queen Wu. Some stumblings, but on the surface, he never conflicts with the party of the Empress Wu. As for the dispute between the princes, Pei Xingjian does not want to participate in it. Even if he is actually very optimistic about Li Xian, a nominal "little brother", he will never support Li Xian in public. This time, the officials of the princes Pei Xingjian has never expressed his opinion. Today, the court was originally intended to watch from the wall, but he still couldn't avoid it. Hearing Gao Zong's name, Pei Xingjian did not dare not answer. After a little meditation, he gave an ambiguous answer.

"Well, the words of love are very much to me."

Pei Xingjian's words were actually a nonsense. It was the same thing as whether he said it or not. However, Gao Zong was obviously happy to hear it. He waved his hand and motioned Pei Xingjian to return to his position. Even if he turned his eyes to Li Xian, he picked up the corners of his mouth, showed a gentle smile, and said warmly, "Xian Son, I've heard all the chapters of Xiao Yushi. What do you think, huh?"

"In the words of the father, as a prince, it is natural and righteous to share the worries of the father. As for the rest, it is not within the consideration of the father, but if the father has the order, the son dare not to disove." As soon as Li Xian heard this, he understood Gao Zong's meaning and smiled secretly in his heart, but he was in a high-profile way. He put on the high posture of "a brick of revolution" and replied impassionedly.

"Okay, Si Yan Da Shan, I didn't read it wrong, good, very good." The more Gao Zong liked Li Xian, the more he liked him. He applauded and praised Li Xian a few words. Although he did not clearly express his position on the official matter, the implication was that he clearly rejected Xiao Ming and others.

"Father, I think that the seventh brother is really a great talent, and it must be used as appropriate. Today, Liaodong is at the beginning of peace, and Xinluo is chaotic. It must be a town with great talents. The seventh brother went to fight at the end of the year, and Tubo was frightened, which is really impossible for no one. If the seventh brother is the general manager of the Liaodong Road march, there is no need to worry about the north. This son's stupid opinion is also a fool, please father. The emperor is broken."

As soon as he heard Gao Zong's words, Li Hong obviously couldn't sit still. In his opinion, Li Xian, who was half dead, had no big threat at all. On the contrary, Li Xian, the guy who always hid behind Li Xian, was the biggest scourge. He refused to let Li Xian pass the test so easily. He didn't wait for Gao Zong to make it clear. He immediately stood up and said passionately.

"Hong'er's words are a big fallacy. You should know that the soldiers are in danger. If you are not careful, you will be under the blood-stained yellow sand. What's the reason for you to strongly recommend Xian'er to go on an expedition, huh?" As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, Empress Wu, who had always sat silently beside Gao Zong, suddenly looked fierce and scolded Li Hong rudely. His words were so fierce that she did not leave any affection for Li Hong, the prince.

"Mother, that's not what I mean. I'm just..."

The prince never expected that the Empress Wu would intercept at this time, and he spoke so seriously that he was a little disgraceful, and his face instantly turned red with blood, and he hurriedly wanted to make a statement to explain.

"It's just that there are only a few younger brothers. Do they have to be sent to the battlefield before they are happy? As brothers and elders, it's just that you don't feel sympathetic to your brothers. How can you bear to fry each other like this!"

Empress Wu caught the flaw and did not let go. She rudely interrupted the prince's defense. The more she said, the more sharp the words became. Li Hong was sweating profusely. When the courtiers saw this, they were all dumbfounded. No one expected that there would be such a huge turning point.

Tut-tut, that's awesome. This old thief is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! Others couldn't bear the intention of Queen Wu's move, but Li Xian saw through the strangeness at a glance. There was nothing else. On the one hand, it was to take the opportunity to attack the prince's prestige. On the other hand, it was nothing more than selling Li Xian a good one and stretched out a false olive branch to induce Li Xian to be grateful. If Li Xian did not have the memory of the third generation. If it's not good, I will really be moved by Queen Wu. As for now, Li Xian will naturally not pay attention to the "good intentions" of Queen Wu.

"My mother's words are serious. I think that the prince's brother is definitely not such a ruthless and righteous person. It is also out of a public heart to recommend my son to Ping Liao. If my father has an order, my son's minister will definitely be flattening the whole Liao and protect me from Ningjing in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty." Although Li Xian was extremely dissatisfied with the prince's blatant persecution, he didn't want to see Queen Wu take the opportunity to win back the situation, so he stood up and said in a loud voice.

"The mother is clear, and my son's thoughts are exactly what the seventh brother said. I dare not have the slightest intention of frying each other. I also ask my father and mother to observe it clearly." When the prince was in great embarrassment, he was relieved by Li Xian, and immediately hit the snake with the stick and hurried to echo.

"Well, I can believe Hong'er's words."

Empress Wu obviously didn't expect Li Xian to be so disgraceful. At that moment, she was choked fiercely, and her face sank in an instant, but she had a bad attack. In her embarrasssment, fortunately, Gao Zong said something slowly, and immediately took the opportunity to close his mouth and no longer say more, but glanced at Li Xian, vaguely. There is a faint evil spirit surging.

"Father Shengming."

Li Hong got out of the hardship and didn't dare to say more about the official matter. After praising him, he sat down and closed his mouth like the Empress Wu, and did not dare to act rashly.

"All Aiqing think that the elder prince should be the official, and I think it is also feasible. However, it is not advisable to be an official for the official. In my opinion, Xian'er and Xian'er are all pillars. It's a little difficult to put it in this place. In this case, I will let Xian'er enter the prison to help run the school. As for Xian'er, I will go to the Ministry of War to help. It's all right." Gao Zong did not pay attention to the prince's embarrassment, but looked around at the prince's confidants who bowed and stood in the hall, and said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be the best. The court has its own system. The official of the prince is an ancestral system, and it can't be changed without permission. I beg your majesty to think twice!" As soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Xiao Ming knelt to the ground and fought loudly.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, by all!"

"Your Majesty, it is not an auspicious sign to change the ancestral system without permission. Please take back your order!"

......

Xiao Ming shouted like this, and the ministers who had been stunned by Gao Zong's words immediately woke up and objected one after another, and their voices became noisy.

"Bold Xiao Ming, do you want to alienate my father and son? Come on, get this fool out!"

Seeing that Xiao Ming was so stubborn, Gao Zong suddenly became angry. When he patted the dragon case, he was rarely angry in court. Under this roar, all the ministers were stunned and watched Xiao Ming wailing and being dragged down the hall by several bodyguards in front of the hall. For a moment, he did not dare to stand out for Xiao Ming's gentle cheeks.

"My father is angry. Although what Xiao Yushi said is a little too much, it is also out of a fair mind. I hope my father will forgive him."

After being humiliated before, the prince was already timid, but when he saw that Xiao Ming was going to suffer, he couldn't sit back and watch. He had no choice but to stand up boldly and persuade him gently.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are indeed of a fair heart."

With the appearance of the prince, a group of courtiers finally had the backbone, so they spoke and persuaded them one after another, but there was no impassionment in the voice when he had forced Gao Zong, and there was only a faint chill...
