Chapter 663 In the turbulent waves
"Eunuch Gao, our family came to pass the decree by the order of the queen. We must not delay. Please also ask Eunuch Gao to inform us again."
In front of the Donggong Chunhua Gate, Gao Mio led several little eunuchs and accompanied Cheng Denggao to talk nonsense. At first, Cheng Denggao was still patient and echoed a few times, but after a long time, Cheng Denggao's patience was exhausted. He impatiently put the dust in his hand and interrupted Gao Mio's gossip with a cold face.
"Good, good to say, a certain family will go again. Mr. Cheng, please wait a moment."
Gao Mio was ordered to delay the time and tried his best. He had already pulled a lot of lies. At this time, he saw Cheng Denggao want to lose his temper, but he didn't want to tear his face on the spot. He answered with a smile and ordered his eunuchs to wait carefully and slowly strolled into the palace. I haven't seen him for most of the day. Then he raised his head and made Cheng Deng angry, but he did not dare to be wild in front of the gate of the East Palace. In desperation, he could only be angry and pestle in place. His face was as gloomy as the bottom of the pot. He was wondering whether he should return to the Daming Palace. When he sued Li Xian for a trick, but after a while in the palace, Li Xian has been surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and bodyguards.
"The old slave met His Royal Highness the Prince."
Cheng Denggao has suffered a lot of suffering from Li Xian. Although he hated him before, once he saw Li Xian's face, he did not dare to neglect him at all. He quickly put on a smiling face, quickly grabbed the front, and made a very respectful salute.
"Gong Cheng is very polite. Let's stop."
Li Xian was extremely disgusted with Cheng Denggao, the loyal of the queen of martial arts, but he still wanted to be polite in his face. He smiled warmly, raised his hand and shouted.
"Your Highness, the Empress has an oracle. I would like to announce that you will enter the Daming Palace immediately. Your Highness, please!"
Cheng Denggao came this time under the urgent order of the Empress Wu, but more than half of the time had passed, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. As soon as he stood up straight, he hurriedly announced the Wuhou's oracle.
"Well, okay, then Mr. Cheng will lead the way. Come on, set up the Daming Palace!"
The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her parents-in-law. This disaster can't be avoided. Li Xian is also too lazy to talk nonsense. He directly issued an order. Since a group of eunuchs were busy rushing to the golden chrome car and waited for Li Xian into the carriage, the group of people to leave the city and went straight to the Daming Palace on the original dragon's head...< /P>
"My son knocked to see my father and mother!"
Li Xian and his entourage entered the Xuanzheng Hall. When they saw Gao Zong and Empress Wu sitting side by side with Long**, Li Zhen, Pei Xingjian and other Zaifu were still standing below. The posture was vaguely like a court trial. He couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, but he didn't dare to say anything. He strode to the front of the emperor and hurriedly bowed and made a big salute.
"Let it go."
After Gao Zong stared at Li Xian with a complicated expression for a long time, he cried flatly, but did not give a seat as usual, but let Li Xian stand in the hall, which was obviously not a good omen.
"Thank you for your father's kindness."
Before Li Xian came, he knew that this trip would not be good. He would not be lustful because of Gao Zong's attitude. After respectfully thanking him, he stood up calmly, his eyes were clear and calm, and there was no trace of panic.
"Xian'er hasn't been to the palace recently. I think he's very busy. Isn't he all busy? Let's listen to it with his mother?"
After Li Xian's salute, Queen Wu has opened her mouth. Although her tone is plain, there is a faint meaning in it.
"After returning to my mother's words, this is the time when the spring ploughing is busy. At the end of the year, I will follow the will of my father and the emperor to promote overseas grain. I dare not neglect a little, neglect to say good times. It is also the crime of the child, and please forgive me."
Li Xian understood the intention behind the Queen Wu's question, but he was not panicked and answered respectfully.
"Oh? In this way, Xian'er is really dedicated to the people, isn't she?
Empress Wu did not know that the impeachment of Zhuzhou had been known by Li Xian. Hearing this, Li Xian got into the trap he secretly set in his words, and a proud smile couldn't help showing at the corners of his mouth, but it was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
"The mother's queen is overreputed. My son is just doing his own business. In fact, he can't be praised by his mother."
Li Xian's ability to observe his face is very strong. Although the Empress Wu's smistic smile was extremely light, Li Xian saw it at a glance, and the anger in his heart surged up in an instant. Fortunately, the city was deep, but it did not bring it to his face, but said humbly.
"What's your job? Do you still know your job? Humph, come on, Xuan!"
Queen Wu was obviously Li Xian's humble words. She didn't wait for Gao Zong to express it. She suddenly changed her color. She snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves, and shouted loudly.
"No!"
After this order, Cheng Denggao, an eunuch who had been prepared for a long time, immediately led the little eunuch with a famous hand holding a pile of notebooks flashed out from the side and answered loudly. Then he reached out to take the folds in the hand of the eunuch, and said, "My minister, the king of Luzhou, the king of Han, has a book on the sky. I heard that Wang Fangming, the special envoy of spring ploughing, used the name of promoting overseas grain to disturb the people. Dozens of families in Chenjia Village, Shixian County, quarreled with the special envoys because they refused to plant overseas grain seeds. They were wantonly beaten and abused. Several families were humiliated and sued to the county government office. This was also a matter promised by the law, but unexpectedly, they were The special envoy expelled people in public, so that several people surrendered in despair. The grievances were difficult to say, and the matter was involved in the imperial envoys. I did not dare to be arbitrary. Please ask your majesty to uphold justice! In addition, Liu Wu, the assassin of Tongzhou, also has this chapter here. The impeachment of Chun Geng Special Envoy Road is Ning Arrogant..."
"Is it such a matter that you are busy, huh?"
Cheng Denggao's voice was extremely sharp and unpleasant, but Empress Wu enjoyed it very much. The smile at the corners of her mouth became stronger and stronger. As soon as Cheng Denggao finished the five memorials, he couldn't wait to start to make trouble.
"The mother is clear that the child has indeed sent a lot of special envoys for spring ploughing to urge spring ploughing. All the itineraries are on record. I have never heard of things like the five states. My ministers think that there must be something strange inside. In the end, they must be investigated clearly before they can distinguish right from wrong. The so-called partial listening is dark, just like this."
Before Li Xian came to Daming Palace, he had planned a strategy to deal with it. He would not be panicked by the sudden impeachment. In the face of the Wuhou's difficulties, Li Xian did not look excited at all, but explained in a calm tone.
"It's good to listen, but it's dark. According to this, the assassins of the five states are all talking about it?"
The Empress Dowager Wu gathered all kinds of assistants today and pulled Gaozong out again. The fundamental purpose was to take Li Xian down in one fell swoop. How could she let Li Xian casually explain a few words to mix over? Then his face darkened and his voice asked coldly.
"Rights and wrong have its own justice. My ministers dare not say that the assassins of the five states are bullying the king. However, there must be a perverseness in it. It must be thoroughly investigated to distinguish right from wrong. I beg my father to give an edict to thoroughly investigate this matter. If it is the responsibility of my ministers, I dare not defend myself. If there is no evidence, what responsibility should the assassins of the five states be responsible? Then follow the law. What!"
Although he has not received the official investigation results from the end of the "Mingdi", Li Xian has enough confidence in the special envoy sent out. In his opinion, whether it is Wang Fangming or Lu Youning, they are all cautious people. It may be difficult to act perfectly, but it is impossible to make such a big mistake. At this time Li Xian refused to bow his head and plead guilty. No matter how cold the Queen Wu's face was, he stared at Gao Zong and asked for an order.
"This... Well, it's time to check it."
When Gao Zong read the bullets of the five-states, he was very dissatisfied with Li Xian. However, when he heard Li Xian's statement, he couldn't help but be suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he still agreed to Li Xian's request for thorough investigation.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that there may be something strange in it, and I would like to ask for an order to do it, and I implore your majesty and the emperor."
As soon as Gao Zong's voice fell, Gao Zhizhou flashed out of the side and volunteered to investigate the case.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Gao Xiang has always been fair and honest, and he will be in charge of the investigation of the case."
As soon as Gao Zhizhou came out, Jia Chaoyin immediately stood up and agreed, and the cooperation was extremely tacit.
"Your Majesty, Gao Dezhao, the prime minister, has a clear reputation, and he will thoroughly investigate the matter. The old minister thinks it is very good."
As soon as Jia Chaoyin's voice fell, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, also flashed out from the side and also agreed.
"Well..., what do you think of Mei Niang?"
Gao Zong can ignore Gao Zhizhou's self-sponsiveness or pay attention to Jia Chaoyin's reconversion, but for Li Zhen's brother's suggestion, he can't go back directly. Even if he vaguely feels that this proposal is a little inappropriate in his heart, he meditates and asks Queen Wu's opinion.
"Your Majesty, you have experienced the place for a long time, and you are familiar with government affairs. You are the best candidate. I think there is nothing wrong with my concubine."
The original intention of Gao Zong's question was to put forward an objection from Queen Wu. His heart was good. Unfortunately, it was just a blind question. Queen Wu had colluded with the King of Yue. How could he object at this time?
"Well, well, I'm looking..."
Gao Zong has been estranged from government affairs for a long time, and he can't see the changes in the court situation. In his opinion, Li Zhen's side is the best buffer to balance the battle between Empress Wu and Li Xian. He should have a neutral position. At this time, Queen Wu has no objection, so she doesn't think much about it, and he intends to set the tone of the matter.
"Father, wait a minute. I don't think it's right!"
Li Xian had long known that this matter was a conspiracy jointly concocted by the King of Yue and the Party of the Queen of Wu. How could he let Gao Zhizhou, the backbone of the Yue Wang Party, grasp the right to investigate? When he saw that Gao Zong wanted to make a decision, he did not dare to neglect at all, so he ignored his words.
Li Xian's interference is really contrary to the way that people and ministers should have. To put it more seriously, there is a suspicion of bullying the king. As soon as Si Yan came out, the eyes of the courtiers immediately swept towards Li Xian. The meaning in it was complicated and difficult to understand. Some were shocked, and there were also those who were surprised. There are also those who gloat...
