Chapter 297 Unsolved Problems

The position of prince has always been a high-risk profession. If you are lucky, you get the death of the old emperor and ascend the throne smoothly. That's a high return. Of course, the opposite of high return is high risk. Since ancient times, I don't know how many princes have lost their lives. Especially since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the three dynasties have come together. After five princes were established, only Gao Zong ascended the throne. The rest of them became the victims of the power struggle, which could be said to be bloody and cruel. In this regard, although the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not say anything, they were already used to it. Although today's courtiers seemed to care about the death of the prince, in fact, it was not true. It's all superficial work, that is, it's just a performance of loyalty and filial piety. As for what the prince's nickname should be, there are very few people who really care about it. Most of the courtiers are waiting for Gao Zong to make a come up. They take advantage of the opportunity to praise it perfunctorily. Even if it's over, it's over, but they didn't expect Gao Zong to come out. With such an absurd nickname, everyone was dumbfounded. No one knew whether it was appropriate to praise or oppose it.

The so-called nickname has two meanings - the one who has two meanings - the one who has the one who has the one who has the title, and the one who has the one who has the one who the one who the one who the one who has the one who the one who the one who the one who the one who the one who the one who the Only those with high status can have a nickname, that is, the meaning of a coffin. For relatives and friends, it is of course, it is extremely important, but for others, it is not important. Originally, how to determine the prince's nickname, and the courtiers are just a manifestation of loyalty, but Gao Zong put Li Hong's nickname. As soon as the words "filial piety to the emperor" come out, trouble will come - first of all, there has been no such precedent since ancient times. Even if you look through the ancient rites and the Law of the Tang Dynasty, you can't find any basis. There is no doubt that Gaozong's will has a strong suspicion of chaos. Secondly, since Li Hong's nickname is "filial piety to the emperor" The funeral has to be done according to the emperor's ceremonies. The cost is not a small amount. The most important thing is that at the time of busy farming, it is necessary to build the emperor's tomb. The number of people's husbands to be used can't be handled in three or five states and counties. It is not an exaggage to say that it is labor and hurting people and money. However, neither of these two are not a group of ministers. The key to the mouth is that what really worries the courtiers is the intention of Gao Zong's move. Obviously, no minister of the Manchu Dynasty wants to be the second official.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that Hong'er has worked hard all his life, and everything he does is beneficial to the country and the people. He really should get this nickname."

The courtiers all saw that it was inappropriate. The Empress Wu, who had an exquisite heart, naturally knew better that Gaozong's move was expressing dissatisfaction to herself, but the Empress Wu wiped her tears as if she didn't realize it, took the lead in breaking the suffocating dullness in the hall, and was considerate to the extreme.

"Father Shengming, my son and so on have no objection."

As soon as Queen Wu's voice fell, Li Xian, who was ready to express himself, flashed out from the side and claimed to praise him.

"Your Majesty, I am amazed."

Since Li Xian has come forward, Lin Qi, who has just been transferred back to serve as the imperial historian in the court, and more than a dozen other courtiers of Lu Wang's family did not dare to neglect it. They were seconded by each other, but the vast majority of the courtiers still stood on the spot with condolence, neither agreeing nor against it, but just kept silent.

"Where is Li Jingxuan?"

Gao Zong was obviously determined to ignore the silence of the ministers at all, and did not pay attention to the praise of Queen Wu and Li Xian and others. Tie Qing nodded the name of Li Jingxuan, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

"I'm here."

Li Jingxuan is also an old minister in the court. As early as when Gao Zong was the prince, he had served in the East Palace. However, the official fortune can only be described in general. After more than 20 years, he was able to take over the ceremonial department because of the illness of Lu Chengqing, the former minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies. He has always been cautious. He has long seen that Gao Zong gave this. The strangeness of a hobby was to pretend to be deaf and mute, but he didn't expect that Gao Zong was the first to click on his name. He was reluctant, but he could only stand up.

"Aiqing has always been known for his good five rites. Now that he is in charge of the ceremonial department, I will make you preside over Hong'er's funeral. I hope you can take care of yourself. Don't lose my hope." Gao Zong sat back heavily on the dragon bed and took a breath. Then he made a will.

"I will abide by the order."

As soon as he heard Gao Zong's statement, Li Jingxuan had a big head, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to take the order.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is in Japan. Every time he loves the people, he is benevolent and kind. Now the farming is waiting for him to reclamation, and the land is prosperous. He is back to Guanfu. I'm afraid of hard work. I think she will be a camp in Jingshan, or suitable. Please make it clear." Li Jingxuan just retreated, and Queen Wu immediately stood up and gave an admonishment to Gao Zong Yingying.

"It's accurate!"

In the face of Wu Hou's request for money, Gao Zong's face changed for a long time and seemed to have different meanings. However, when it came to the bottom, he still didn't have the courage to refute Wu Hou face to face, so he could only reluctantly spit out two words.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that this is a big deal, and it is necessary to have a close and noble person to sit in the town. The children have always been shrewd and strong, and have their central dispatch. It can be sure that there is no safety. I implore your majesty to judge." The Empress Dowager Wu was not dissatisfied at all because of Gao Zong's impatience. She was still blessed and said again.

"This..."

This suggestion of Queen Wu was obviously greatly beyond Gao Zong's expectation. He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. He looked at Queen Wu and glanced at Li Xian, who stood silently by the hall. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Dead old thief woman, never forget to cheat me, have guts! Li Xian was very smart. He only frowned and saw through the intention of Queen Wu - it is only one to let Li Xian bear the charge of labor and hurting money. As for the second, it is to temporarily squeeze Li Xian out of the court and not let Li Xian make a difference in the establishment of the crown prince. The most important thing is to prevent the ministers from supporting Li Xian. The possibility is that the intention is vicious. However, Li Xian did not intend to compete for the position of the crown prince, and he did not mind temporarily leaving the court that was destined to fight, but he did not want to bear the harm to the people. How to avoid this matter can be decided.

"Father, what my mother said is very true. Every time the prince and brother treat the people with benevolence in Japan, I remember that in the first year of the General Chapter, my Tang Dynasty sent troops to go to goguryeo. There will be those who are desperate and desperate. They will die, and their family members have no officials. The prince's brother said, "If you live up to death, you'd rather lose." I would like to ask you to say goodbye to the subject, and there is no use of it. The father thought it was good, so he gave up the law of the family. When the people heard it, they regarded the prince's brother as Bodhisattva. The children's ministers have always been impressed. They took the prince's brother as a role model. Today, the prince's brother died early, and the children's ministers were heartbroken. If they could do their best for the prince's brother's affairs, it would be a blessing. However, the children's ministers did not dare to violate it. The way of the prince's brother is now when the farmers are busy. If you recruit the people's husband to repair the mausoleum of the prince's brother, I'm afraid that the prince's brother will be very uneasy in heaven. Please think twice.

In the face of the big right and wrong, Li Xian was not ambiguous at all. Without waiting for Gao Zong to speak, he had already stood out from the side, bowed and talked freely. There was evidence, and he did not forget to take the spear of the Queen Wu to attack its shield. He talked about the people, but did not mention how. To make the decision, it was clear that Gao Zong wanted to make it clear by himself.

"Well, this is very true. How can I bother the people? Do you have a good strategy for this?" Gao Zong was not good at government affairs. In the face of such problems, there was no good strategy, so he had to throw the problem to the ministers.

This is the unsolved problem. Not to mention Gao Zong, even if Zhuge Liang is reincarnated, he can't find a safe solution. The reason is very simple. In terms of the emperor's funeral, the people think that the use of repairing the mausoleum is a law. It has been the same in all dynasties. Although it disturbs the people, there is no difference in terms of the name of righteousness. Even if the people have resentment, they can understand that the problem is that Li Hong is not the real emperor, but the emperor given the title of emperor. Naturally, he can't enjoy the treatment of arbitrarily soliciting the people's husband to repair the mausoleum. Obviously, there is no such possibility to convince the people. The enance of the ensuing people can be imagined. If you really want to solve it, it is only If it is not buried according to the emperor's ceremonial, Gao Zong has made a decision, and the courtiers dare not put forward an objection at this time. Therefore, no matter how much expectation is in Gao Zong's eyes, a group of ministers and workers can only pretend not to see it. They all stand in a mute, and no one dares to look at Gao Zong.

"What? Are you all dumb? Huh?"

Gao Zong has always spoiled Li Hong. Although he knew that his death was quite strange this time, he did not dare to pursue the bottom because of the Queen of Wu. He was extremely unhappy. The reason why he proposed to give Li Hong a decent funeral was not so much a sign of favor as Gao Zong's intention to soothe his deep shame. Guilty, he can't tolerate the slightest opposition from others on this matter, but he can't help but pay attention to the opinions put forward by Li Xian. After all, Gao Zong himself does not want to carry a charge of disturbing the people. At this time, no one of the courtiers who was willing to stand up and speak, and Gao Zong's face was immediately difficult to see the extreme. .

Gao Zong's anger was not tight, but the ministers who were panicked strengthened their determination to be silent. No one wanted to touch Gao Zong's bad head at this time. In addition, the current situation was clear that King Li Xian and Queen Wu were in court. Before the situation was clear, no one dared to intervene easily, in case If a person accidentally offends one of them, the consequences will not be so easy to suffer. Everyone is not a fool. The truth of silence is still clear. As for Gao Zong's anger, as long as it doesn't burn on his own head, it will be the right to listen to the wind.

"Waste, it's all waste. I'm so angry, I..."

Gao Zong blew his beard and stared for a long time, but no one was willing to stand up and speak. The anger in his heart could no longer be held back. As soon as he patted the dragon case, he changed his face and scolded. As soon as he was emotional, his body suddenly shivered, and he was crooked and paralyzed...
