Chapter 283 The mountain rain is coming and the wind is all over the building
If you haven't experienced the bitterness of life and death, you won't know the difficulty of getting together. No matter what others think, Li Xian refused to relax at all about the engagement. As soon as he got the imperial edict, he first went to thank Gao Zong and Wu Hou, and then refused to stop for a moment and immediately rushed to the ceremonial department, almost forced. Forced a group of officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies to turn around. The impatient appearance really stunned the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty. However, Li Xian didn't care at all. In addition to his due business every day, he spent almost all the time in the Ministry of Ceremonies. Fortunately, the person who presided over the engagement ceremony was Lin Mingdu. My best-hearted confidant, if not, I'm afraid I'll really be annoyed by Li Xian.
Although it's just an engagement, there are so many things to do. Even if Li Xian is strong and strong, he can't escape the smell of exhaustion. I don't see ordinary people's formalities to get married. It's not easy to do things like giving betrothal gifts and worshipping Taishan's mother, let alone Li Xian. When the identity of the prince is there, the etiquette is so much that it scares people to death. If there is more, there is only one marriage between others, but this time Li Xian is two marriages together. After running the Zhao family, he has to run to the Lifan Hall. After several times, the poor Li Xian has only gasp. For the time being, he is painful and happy.
Although the engagement is cumbersome, at least it has dealt with the past. Everything is still extremely smooth, which is also Li Xian's heart. The only regret is that the wedding date has to be scheduled until the ninth day of February of the following year. It's not that Li Xian doesn't want to get married early, or that the Ministry of Ceremonies is deliberately embarrassed. There is really no suitable prince this year. On the good day of marriage, even if a group of people from Qin Tianjian turned over the almanac, there was nothing he could do. Li Xian was a little unhappy, but he could only follow him to the market.
Since the marriage can't be concluded for a while, Li Xian had no choice but to turn his mind back to his official business and hurriedly prepare for the martial arts. At one hand, he was busy connecting various ministries and government offices, and at the other hand, he was very busy. Fortunately, Li Xian had put a lot of people into various departments in the early years. Things went smoothly. There was almost no hurdle that could not be overcome. Li Xian had some leisure to watch the undercurrents in the court. After the court disturbance at the end of August, Gao Zong did not make it too difficult for the prince. He just demoted Xiao Ming, the scapegoat servant, to Caizhou as a county lieutenant, but did not adjust the prince's department. The rest of the officials immediately issued an edict to recall Liu Rengui, an old minister who had returned to his hometown, and asked him to serve as the son of the prince, thinking that he was the prince's teacher. At the beginning of October, Gao Zong moved to the Jiucheng Palace on the outskirts of Luoyang and issued an edict to follow the political hall, leaving the prince alone in Luoyang Palace. At the end of October, Gao Zong issued a decree to talk about politics. The notes attached to the hall have many omissions and many delays. The resolution is to read and approve it in person. Of course, the so-called omissions in the political hall are actually just an excuse. In fact, the person who has really corrected the folds since this time is the prince. With such a will, Gao Zong took back the right to criticize his hand. At this point, although the prince's officials are particularly popular, the power in his hands has been greatly reduced.
Gao Zong's set of combination of punches is really smooth. Even if Li Xian, an old master of this way, can only give a thumbs up and a wonderful cry. However, Li Xian does not intend to intervene in this change. Not only did he watch coldly, but also Li Xiansheng, who was eager to try, pressed on. The reason is very simple. Gao Zong's series of power collection measures are beautiful, but his body may not be able to get rid of the trouble of the day by day. The big change may be in front of him. Li Xian has to stabilize his position and think of the need to deal with the change.
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the first month of the third year of Xianheng. In the early morning, the ministers gathered in the small square outside Zetianmen early in the morning, waiting for the beginning of the early morning. At the beginning of the heavy snow stopped, the wind was strong, the cold day was tight, and the square was full of ministers. The sound of foot warmth and the harshness of the noise, but somehow, the hours of the early morning have passed, but I have never heard the sound of shouting in the palace gate, and the surprising discussion in the small square gradually sounded.
"Seventh brother, the time has passed. After all, this dynasty is not up. How can my father not even give a word? Let the big guy wait like this. It's a big deal."
Waiting to wait again, it was already a quarter of an hour in a blink of an eye. After the early morning, Li Xian, who had always been anxious, was really impatient. He looked up at the sky and then at Li Xian, who was motionless, and couldn't help complaining.
"Sixth brother, wait, my father may be delayed."
The doubts in Li Xian's heart are a little stronger than that in Li Xian, and there are faint uneasiness in the bottom of his heart. However, in this public, Li Xian is calm. In the face of Li Xian's complaints, Li Xian just replied indifferently, with a calm manner.
"Isn't there anything to delay? Isn't it just an oracle? Pingbai..." Li Xian was not as good as Li Xian. He reluctantly curled his mouth and muttered with an unhappy face. Before he finished speaking, he saw that the Tianmen was suddenly pushed away from the inside. Li Xian couldn't help stopping his mouth and looked over with a doubtful face.
"Your Majesty's words, please adjud the doctor Ming Chongyan to meet immediately!"
As soon as the Tianmen opened the first line, Gao Hesheng flashed out of the door impatiently and strode to the doubtful courtiers and preached loudly.
"Weichen obeys the order."
As soon as Gao Hesheng's voice fell, the courtiers all over the square were a little dumbfounded. For a moment, the scene was silent, but only Ming Chongyan rushed out and said in a loud voice.
"Mr. Ming, please come with someone. Your Majesty is waiting."
Gao Hesheng ignored the surprised eyes of the courtiers, waved to Ming Chongyu, and turned to go to the palace.
"Gong Gong-gong, slow down."
He didn't wait for Gao Hesheng to complete the action of turning around. Yan Liben stood up and shouted loudly.
"Do you have any advice about Yan Xiang? Your Majesty is still waiting for someone to reply.
Although Gao Hesheng did not dare to show off in front of Yan Liben, he obviously didn't want to have more trenches with Yan Liben, so he rudely carried Gao Zong out.
"Eunuch Gao, the time has passed. Why hasn't your majesty been summoned yet? Is this morning still not up?"
Yan Liben didn't eat Gao Hesheng's way at all. He flat-faced, took out the momentum of the prime minister, and asked in an awe-inspiring tone.
"I'm sorry. Some family is not clear. Please wait for a moment. Your Majesty will have the will."
Although Gao Hesheng did not dare to answer Yan Liben's question, he obviously did not want to explain the truth. He just said perfunctorily without a smile. After that, he no longer gave Yan Liben a chance to open his mouth. As soon as he turned around, he quickly rushed back to the palace door. Seeing this, Ming Chongyan did not dare to neglect and hurried into the palace.
"How could this happen? What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"Yes, are you still not going on this morning?"
"Strange thing, what's wrong with Zhao Ming Chong's fake cow nose?"
......
The ministers did not expect that Gao Hesheng would run away in such a hurry. They were all stunned for a moment. Immediately, the voice of discussion became loud, and the voice of doubt flew all over the sky.
"Seventh brother, do you think it will be my father's body..."
The matter of Ming Chong's treatment for Gao Zong is a secret in the palace. It is rare for a group of ministers to know it, but Li Xian knows it. At this time, when he saw Gao Zong Du Xuanming Chong entered the palace, he immediately reacted, opened his mouth, and blurted out.
"It's hard to say, just wait."
Li Xian naturally thought of what Li Xian could guess earlier, but he just didn't want to say it. When he saw Li Xian's words, he wanted to reveal the secret of the emperor in public. He was shocked and quickly interrupted Li Xian's words.
"Oh, well, just wait."
Li Xian's words were cut off by Li Xiansheng. He was a little unhappy, but he woke up in an instant. He pumped awkwardly, said an embarrassment, and stopped talking.
There should be something wrong with the old man's health. Otherwise, he would never go to court and recruit Ming Chongyan so urgently, but I don't know what the condition is. If it is... Well, it's impossible. Generally speaking, the old man still has more than ten years of good life. He should not finish it like this, and the possibility of accumulated hard work will become a disease. The biggest, if so, where will this court go? What tricks will the old thief play again? Although Li Xian stopped Li Xian's nonsense, he quickly turned his brain and inferred the possible situation one by one. The uneasiness in his heart was as strong as for a while, and he always felt that something big might happen.
Time passed minute by minute and second, and the time has come to an end, and half of the time has passed. The courtiers who have stood in the piercing cold wind for nearly two hours have gradually lost their physical strength. All of them are blue and their lips are purple. After a little more time, it is not necessary to have a serious illness, but the palace is still dead. He was calm and quiet. At this point, not to mention the impatience of the courtiers, Li Xian, who had always been calm, could not calm down. Looking at the slightly closed palace door, Li Xian had an impulse to rush into the palace to find out, but he thought about it. Obviously, he could not do this. At this moment, Li Xian could only secretly pray for the worst. The situation is not going to happen.
"Look, Grandpa Gao is out again!"
Just as the courtiers were waiting anxiously, they saw Gao Hesheng leading several little eunuchs coming out of the semi-closed Zetianmen. The sharp-eyed courtiers shouted and drank as if they had poked a hornet's nest. A large group of courtiers rushed over and surrounded Gao Hesheng's party. Central...
