Chapter 296 Absurd Imperial Order
Yan Li was not an ordinary minister. Not to mention the identity of the leader of his prince's party, he was only the official title of his right prime minister and servant. In the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the left prime minister and the Chinese calligraphy that made Pei Xingjian slightly suppress one, no one can compare with him. Even the other four prime ministers, whether in terms of prestige and power, Yan Liben, are different. In a big way, when he was taken down, all the ministers were shocked and everyone was in danger, but they were reluctant to give in to the ** power of the queen of Wu. Therefore, silence as a protest became the unanimous choice of all the ministers and workers. For a time, the hall was full of suffocating dead silence.
"All my dear, Hong'er has always been kind-hearted and filial. Unfortunately, I died early this morning. My palace is really heartbroken. Your Majesty is sick in bed again. I have no choice but I have no choice but to deal with the aftermath. I can't delay. Please help me with my palace. Don't give up to Hong'er. I'm here to thank you."
Queen Wu is worthy of being a chameleon-like political animal. When she had dealt with Yan Liben before, she was still as fierce as a storm. In a blink of an eye, she was already in a pitiful state of tears. She pleaded sadly, and she was really like a mother with infinite grievances.
"Don't worry, my mother, I will die. I dare not let the prince bend in the spirit of heaven."
"The Empress has a destiny, and I have nothing to do."
......
All the important ministers are not fools. They will not be easily fooled by the Empress Dowager Wu. However, Liu Yizhi, Ming Chongyan and other people of the Queen of the War, but they jumped up and down to wake the flag and shouted for the Queen of Wu. Unfortunately, the number of people is really too small. Even if it is noisy again, it's just that. Compared with the group The silence of the ministers is like a sea, and even a wave is not a wave.
"Pei Aiqing, Hong'er is in the sun. Every time he talks about Aiqing, he is the mainstay in the court. Your Majesty also often praises the ability of Aiqing. Now Hong'er has passed away for a long time. He is not only his majesty, but also his heart is in turmoil. As the chief auxiliary minister, please support the court and take care of all kinds of matters?"
The martial arts queen's acting skills are so high that it is hard to be matched in the world. After the sad trick, she is immediately sincere and unparalleled. In Li Xian's opinion, it's easy to play with ten or eight "little gold people" for later generations.
"The old minister will abide by the mother's order and ask the mother to explain the next constitution first, so that the old minister can also handle it."
As early as when Gao Zong just succeeded to the throne, Pei Xingjian was already a senior official of the Ministry of Officials. The reason why he was assigned to the Western Regions was all because of the Empress Wu. He never looked at the Empress Wu in his heart. At this moment, when he heard that Queen Wu was going to stuff such a hot potato into his own arms, Pei Xingjian's heart was He was extremely dissatisfied, but as the head of the ministers, it was his responsibility to arrange the affairs behind the prince, but there was really nowhere to shirk it. There was no way. He could only stand up and respectfully asked for instructions.
"I'm in a mess. Please ask Pei Aiqing to do it. I believe that Pei Aiqing will never succumb to Hong'er."
The Empress Wu wiped her tears in a lonely way, as if she had no opinion and pushed all the responsibility to Pei Xingjian.
"Yes, the old minister obeys."
As soon as he heard what the Empress Wu said, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but have a big head - with Pei Xingjian's wisdom, he will never see that the death of the prince is strange. However, since Empress Wu dares to hand over the prince's affairs, everything must have been arranged for a long time. Even if he goes to investigate, he may not be able. Investigate the root. Besides, unless Gao Zong agrees, no one is qualified to investigate the case. Now that Gao Zong is sick in bed, this imperial edict is obviously not available. In this way, the only person who presides over the prince's affairs is to help Empress Wu clean up the mess. Pei Xingjian is unwilling to do such things. Unfortunately, now, he really can't refuse, so he can only accept it with his nose.
"All the princes, the funeral should be treated with the title, and now all the princes are here. Let's talk about it."
No matter whether he was willing or not, Pei Xingjian did not dare to be vague at all. After receiving the decree, Pei Xingjian immediately entered the state, stood in the hall, facing a group of courtiers, and said solemnly.
"What Pei Xiang said is that His Royal Highness is generous in the day, and he is filial to your majesty. He can be said to be the most affectionate person. He should use the word 'pure'."
Queen Wu's face can not be given, but Pei Xingjian's face can't be brushed away. A group of courtiers did not care whether they were willing or not. Since Pei Xingjian had opened his mouth, the voice of discussion immediately made a big. However, the courtiers did not dare to speak lightly. Generally speaking, it was mainly in private, and no one was real for a long time. He stood up and said, at the end, Le Yanwei really couldn't stand it anymore. He was the first to stand up and suggested loudly.
"Yes, the prince is unparalleled in filial piety. In fact, it should be the word 'pure'."
"It makes sense, Your Highness, pure people, the 'pure', there should be no difference!"
"What Le Xiang said is very much, and the subordinates and others are seconded!"
......
Although the prince is half a king, he failed to ascend the throne as the emperor. He can only be buried with a ceremony half a grid higher than the prince. Speaking of which, he is still a minister, and one of the words "pure" is the highest praise for the minister. Naturally, a group of princes will not oppose it, and then they all stand up and agree.
"Although what Le Xiang said is reasonable, the subordinate thinks that although the word 'pure' is good, it is not enough to show the dignity of the prince. The subordinate thinks that the word 'benevolence and filial piety' may be better."
In the praise of a school, Ming Chong Yan suddenly stood up from the side and put forward an objection. On the surface, he seemed to be highly respected for the prince. In fact, this is not the case. The nickname is one word more expensive, and the second word is worse. Although the word "benevolence and filial piety" is good, it is worse than the word "pure". In addition, This "benevolence and filial piety" is just to cover up the sharp contradiction between the prince and the Empress Wu. It is just applying fat and powder to the Empress Wu.
"This is a big fallacy of Dr. Ming's words. 'benevolence and filial piety' is just the difference between people. How can it be equal to the benevolence and virtue of His Royal Highness the Prince? Please forgive me and I dare not agree!"
At this sight, Ming Chongyan, the backbone of the party, jumped out. Le Yanwei's face immediately drooped down, took out the air of the prime minister of the dynasty, and rudely scolded Ming Chongyan.
"Otherwise, happiness is wrong. Only those who are on their own are rare. Why can't you say that the word 'benevolence and filial piety' is good?" As soon as Le Yanwei's words fell, Liu Yizhi stood up and retorted, refusing to give in at all.
"Absurd, absurd, etc..."
Le Yanwei has been at the center for a long time. Both seniority and official rank are far above Liu and Ming. At this time, he was full of grief and indignation because of the death of the prince. Hearing that the two dared to face themselves in court, they were furious and stared at each other. They stared at each other, they were about to speak and reprimanded.
"Your Majesty is here!"
After Le Yanwei finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the apse. The ministers and workers could not care about any more disputes and hurriedly stood up with their own plastic surgery, waiting for the arrival of Gao Zong.
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is important. Don't lose anything. My concubine is incompetent, and you let your majesty take the disease to discuss matters, concubine..."
Gao Zong arrived, but he didn't walk in by himself, but turned out of the apse in a soft chaisen carried by four people. His face was as pale as paper, and he trembled from time to time. Obviously, his condition was not serious. When the courtiers saw it, they were secretly sad. They dared not look more. They saluted repeatedly, and they were right. Empress Wu, who was sitting in Long**, frowned inadvertently. Even if she covered it, she hurriedly got up, met the front, and grabbed Gao Zong's side. It was a blessing. She said in her mouth. Finally, her eyes turned red, and she choked and couldn't speak.
"I'm fine, I can't die!"
Gao Zong's complexion was not good, and his temper was obviously old and young, and he didn't care how the Empress Wu cried. He waved his hand impatiently. After saying a word, he was helped by several little eunuchs and got off the soft cham. He staggered to the front, sat down heavily, gasped and raised his hand to the ministers. He raised his voice and said in a hurry and hoarsely, "All Aiqings are flat. Continue to discuss, and I'll just listen."
"I obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Although the courtiers were not sure what Gao Zong's intention was, they all saw that Gao Zong was obviously dissatisfied with the Empress Wu, and Xie En's voice was so high.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness and even the person who is affectionate, pure and filial piety is the sorrow of the Tang Dynasty. Only by using the word 'pure' as a proveverence of the prince's benevolence, and I beg your majesty to make it clear."
After Gao Zong entered the hall, he didn't even look at Queen Wu. Obviously, he was more dissatisfied with Queen Wu. Encouraged by Le Yanwei, he was the first to stand up and report loudly.
"Your Majesty, I think so, please make it clear!"
Le Yanwei's words represented the hearts of many courtiers. They stood up one after another and responded in unison, and the situation in the court was one-sided.
"I have always had great expectations for Hong'er, and thanks to Hong'er's virtuous ability, I can have some free life. Now that Hong'er is gone, how can I give in to him? How can the word 'pure' be worthy of my Hong'er? My original intention was to pass it on to Hong'er, but it's not a holiday, but Hong'er actually went there. I'm heartache. If I could be early. It is said that Hong'er didn't leave so early. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, woo-woo..."
The more Gao Zong said, the more excited he became. At the end, he began to cry in tears, so panic that all the courtiers were at a loss and did not know what to say.
"I know that Hong'er has been in state affairs over the years. Compared with me, he is more like an emperor. I can't succumb to Hong'er. I have made up my mind, and Hong'er's nickname is 'filial piety to the emperor'!" After crying for a long time, Gao Zong suddenly patted the dragon case and made a decision in an unquestionable tone. As soon as such an unprecedented absurd nickname came out, the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty was petrified...
