Chapter 295 Female Power is boundless

"Duke Gao, what is the will of the Holy Lord?"

In the face of the sudden death of the prince, Yan Liben obviously lost his ordinary heart. Previously, he inexplicably burned Li Xian. At this time, he ignored etiquette and etiquette. He didn't wait for Gao Hesheng to speak at all, so he was impatient to ask first.

"It's good for Yan Xiang to know that there have been changes in the palace. Your Majesty's worries have become a disease, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Gao Hesheng is a character like a smiling tiger. He has always been rarely happy and angry. Even if Yan Liben asked such an urgent question, he really lost the decentness of the courtiers, but Gao Hesheng did not mean to be surprised at all. He just flattened his face and replied lukewarmly. Immediately, his face was solemn. As soon as he waved the dust in his hand, he announced loudly, "Your mother has a purpose for this purpose. Meet Li Xian, the king of Xuanlu, Li Xian, the king of Ying, and all the ministers Gong Deyang Hall!"

"I would like to obey my mother's will."

As soon as the ministers and workers heard that the Empress Wu was going to gather the ministers in Deyang Hall, they were all stunned and did not react for a while. Only Li Xianxin hung on the prince's throne and took the lead in a loud voice.

"My son obeys the order."

This man is really too calm. He is blind to my previous analysis. It's really rotten wood! With Li Xian's eyes, he saw through the little thought in Li Xian's heart at a glance and couldn't help cursing, but it was not easy to say it. He could only stand up and echoed.

"I will obey the order."

At this time, the two princes had received the order, and the ministers and workers were not good to make troubles, but they could only reluctantly receive the order. They organized the team according to the level of grade, fished into Zetianmen, and walked all the way to Deyang Hall speechlessly. However, among the ministers and workers, there were a lot of people who were dissatisfied with this move of the Empress Wu, mostly because of Deyang Hall. It is the main hall of the imperial city, and it is not allowed to use it unless it is a big dynasty. In addition, in the past, the Empress Wu accompanied Gaozong every time she sat on the side in the early morning. It was already an excess of the system. However, the ministers repeatedly adowed Gaozong did not accept it, so he had to acquiesce to it, but it did not mean that the ministers and workers really regarded the Empress Wu as an emperor. This time, the Empress Wu actually wanted to ascend to the dynasty alone. Even if there is a reason for the incident, it is impossible to explain its ambition and suspicion of usurping the throne. All the ministers and workers are generally deeply influenced by Confucianism. In fact, it is difficult to tolerate such measures such as the Empress Wu, and a feeling of depression and indignation quietly brewing and fermentation in this silence.

"My son kowtowed to my mother."

As princes, the two Li Xian brothers are the most respected among the ministers. They walked at the forefront of the queue. As soon as they entered the Deyang Hall, they saw the slightly red and swollen Wu Houan sitting in the middle of the dragon bed, and Li Xulun, dressed in a white robe, stood sideways beside the back of Wu. They were shocked, but at this time, But they didn't dare to say that they could only rush forward and worship each other.

"I have seen the Queen!"

Compared with the big ceremonial worship of the Li Xian brothers, the ceremonial of the ministers is not so formal, and their voices are uneven. Except for Liu Yizhi, Ming Chongyan, Fan Lubing and a few other members of the martial arts queens who insist on the big salute, the other courtiers just perform regular salute, which is clear that they are protesting against the martial arts queen's unauthorized promotion. Measures in the morning.

"Excommtion, please be flat."

Although Empress Wu had expected that the courtiers would have resistance, she didn't expect that the ministers would not show their faces so much. A trace of light flashed in their eyes, but there was no inappropriateness. She just raised her hand and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"My son (chen, etc.) thank my mother (mother) for your kindness."

No matter what the Empress Wu said, the ministers are still not very pleasing to face. Except for the slight sound of gratitude of the Li Xian and the two brothers, the rest is generally perfunctory, even the spirit of Liu Yizhi and others is not high. There is no such thing, and the taste of becoming the target of public criticism is naturally not very good. The number of the Queen Wu's party is There are too few, and I dare not have too much conflict with the mainstream.

"I'm afraid you all know, Hong'er..." Empress Wu didn't seem to care about the attitude of the ministers. She looked around at the crowd and slowly opened her mouth. Half of the words stopped. Tears surged wildly and sobbed gently, sobbing in tune. The lower prince's official Seeing this, most of the members were very sad, and there were many people who cried with them.

"Mother, how did the prince go? I don't know, please give me some advice!"

Yan Liben didn't believe that the Empress Dowager Wu was sad for the death of the prince, nor did he believe that the prince really died of a violent illness. At this time, when he saw the Empress Wu there, the anger in his heart couldn't help it. He strode to the hall, almost in a reprimand.

"Hmm."

Queen Wu did not answer Yan Liben's question, but wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, waved her hand, and said softly. Gao Hesheng turned out from the side.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the King of England got married yesterday. In addition to the joy, the Prince drank more wine. He was too excited and didn't want to sleep. He actually wanted to correct the folds all night. Unexpectedly, the old disease suddenly broke out. The doctor could not save him, so he died. In fact, it was an unbearable pain. Your Majesty fainted several times because of it, and he couldn't reason. It is specially sent to the Empress to act as an agent for official duties and to formulate various matters behind the prince. Please pay more attention to it. Gao Hesheng explained with a sad face, and his words were burning, as if there was such a thing.

"Is there any evidence for Mr. Gao's words? How on earth did His Royal Highness go, huh?"

No matter how cleverly Gao Hesheng said, Yan Liben, who was angry, didn't believe it at all and asked rudely.

"It's good for Yan Xiang to know that a certain family has its own East Palace study here with the confessions of many eunuchs. In addition, there are also medical certificates of the visiting imperial doctors Liu Wu, Chen Dongliang, Hong Subao and others. If Yan Xiang doesn't believe it, he can check one or two." Gao Hesheng was obviously prepared. He was not panicked by Yan Liben's questioning at all. He took out a pile of paper from his wide sleeves and explained slowly.

"Well, I just don't believe it. This matter is very strange. It should be thoroughly investigated!"

Yan Liben's painstaking efforts for the second half of his life were almost all used on Li Hong. He couldn't accept Li Hong's violent death. Even if Gao Hesheng said it, Yan Liben still didn't believe it, regardless of the expression of the Empress Wu, he shouted rudely.

"Presumptuous! Yan Liben, you are so bold. According to your words, is there anyone in this palace who dares to plot against the prince? What's your intention? Come on, give this old man to me and get out!"

As soon as Yan Liben's voice fell, Queen Wu had already stood up. She pointed to Yan Liben angrily and launched a rush. With a broken shout, several guards in front of the hall rushed up and set up Yan Liben and were about to drag him out.

"Wait!"

The ministers did not expect that the martial arts queen would deal with Yan Liben so decisively. At that moment, they were all shocked and looked at Yan Liben's bad, but Hao Chujun couldn't stand it anymore. Although he and Yan Liben's political opinions were different, there were many entanglements on weekdays, but when he thought of the fierceness of the Empress Wu, he thought that Hao Chujun, who had offended the Empress Wu more deeply. He couldn't sit and watch Wu Hou so majestic. He rushed out and stretched out his hand to block the way of the guards in front of the hall.

"What does Hao Xiang mean by this move? Do you have to despise me?"

Empress Wu glanced at Hao Chujun and said coldly.

"The Empress is angry, and the old minister does not mean it. Even if Yan Xiang is rude, it is also due to the death of the painful prince. It is not a contempt for the Empress. Please forgive me."

Although Hao Chujun has always hated the Empress Wu, the prince has passed away and Gao Zong is unable to rule. The overall situation has been controlled by the Empress Wu. No matter how much dissatisfaction he has, he does not dare to resist the ** power of the Empress Wu. He can only bow down and gently persuade him.

"Well, if I'm not old and confused, how can I be so rude? Hao Xiang doesn't need to say anything more. I just let him go back home to reflect and go out!" The original intention of Empress Wu was to take Yan Li to stand up power. She would not raise her hand because of Hao Chujun's plea. Then she looked solemn and waved her hand suddenly, and she made the order in an unquestionable tone.

"The old minister is not convinced, the old minister is not convinced, Your Highness, you are in the spirit of heaven..."

At this moment, Yan Liben was completely desperate, struggling and shouting. However, he was just an old man. How could he get rid of the strong clamping of the guards in front of the hall? Before he finished shouting, he had been gagged and was forcibly dragged out of the hall. Seeing this, the ministers were very cold, and no one dared to do it for a moment. Forced to come out again.

The damn old thief woman is really good at seizing the opportunity. It's really fierce! Others did not know the calculations of the Empress Wu, but Li Xian was as clear as a mirror. How could he not know that the Empress Wu was actually paving the way for the formal regent - at this time, the prince died and Gao Zong fell ill. In the whole dynasty, except for her Empress Wu, naturally no one was qualified to preside over the overall situation. This is the general situation; pull Li Xulun to Taiwan. On the surface, Li Xian, who may establish him as a prince, is naturally shocked that Li Xian, who wants to enter the East Palace, dares not act rashly, and Li Xian himself is bound to steal Li Xian's limelight at this time. Otherwise, there will obviously be infinite obstacles in recommending Li Xian to the East Palace, which is a plan; as for taking Yan Liben Liwei, if you are sure, it is the death of the prince. His confidants must have their own plans. They don't want to express their position indiscriminately under the uncertain situation. At last, Yan Liben's bad luck is right.

I understand, but what can I do? Even if Li Xianzhi is good at calculating, there is no way to destroy the way of Wuhou's calculation on such occasions. At this moment, he can only watch the Empress Wu show off her power there, not to mention how crooked it is in his heart. However, then again, such a strong faction as Queen Wu also has people who secretly subdue the prince Li Xian. With a lot of help, in this sense, Li Xian really doesn't plan to share with Queen Wu on this matter. As for the little unhance in his heart, forbearance is over. The key is that Queen Wu's plan to play some tricks next...
