Chapter 718 Persuasion Storm 5
At noon, it was very hot. Even if there was only a single robe, Gao Zong was still hot with sweat all over his head, but he was obviously in a good mood. Although his body was still a little weak after recovering from a serious illness, he was very energetic. He got up early in the morning and swaying in the back garden with enthusiasm for most of the day. This time When he arrived at the bedroom, he immediately urged him to pass the meal. He planned to have a meal and then take a nap. However, the meal did not wait, but Cheng Denggao jumped in from the outside in panic. His anxious face immediately made Gao Zong frown unhappily.
"Your Majesty, all the Lords of the Political Affairs Hall have come and said that they have something important to meet with your majesty."
As soon as he saw that Gao Zong's face was wrong, Cheng Denggao did not dare to neglect it. He quickly grabbed the bed and hurried to report.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Gao Zong is now a big shopkeeper. Except for military and state affairs, he ignores everything. When he heard all the Zaifu come to see him together, his heart was tight, and his eyebrows, which were originally slightly frowned, frowned into a capital "Chuan" in an instant.
"In your majesty's words, it is said that there are people in the court who are making trouble for the prince to supervise the country, and all the prime ministers and assistants will not agree, so they will come to invite your majesty to judge."
Gao Zong asked, and Cheng Denggao hurriedly bowed his waist a little lower and said the reason with an uneasy face.
"What? How can there be such a thing?
As soon as he heard this, Gao Zong's eyes widened in an instant, and he asked eagerly.
"Your Majesty, this matter has now caused a lot of trouble in the city. The subordinates and others are rumoring that this matter is the holy intention, and that the prince has won the hearts of the people and is in charge of the world. That's what happened. The old slave dares not speak rashly, and I would like to ask your majesty to make a holy decision."
Cheng Denggao has already been ordered by the Queen of Martial Arts. He will not let go of this opportunity to give Li Xian eye medicine. The hint between words means that it is really thick enough, so he almost doesn't directly point out that it is the prince who is behind his back.
"Humph!"
Although Gao Zong did not pay attention to political affairs, it did not mean that he was willing to give up the throne. At this time, when he heard Cheng Denggao's words, his face immediately became gloomy and snorted heavily. Huo Ran stood up and paced back and forth quickly in the bedroom. He was angry, and the temperature in the bedroom was caused by The cold is about to rise.
"Does Mei Niang know about this?"
Gao Zong paced back and forth several times, suddenly stopped, glanced at Cheng Denggao gloomily, and squeezed out a question from between his teeth.
"In reply to Your Majesty's words, the Empress knew about this matter yesterday, but it was only related to the heavenly family. The Empress did not dare to make a decision. In order to avoid suspicion, the Empress went to the White Horse Temple to serve incense early this morning. Before leaving, she only confessed: However, there is no objection to all the decisions in the political hall, and everything is up to your majesty."
Being so stared at by Gao Zong's eyes, even though Cheng Denggao had been psychologically prepared, he couldn't help sweating coldly, but he didn't dare to delay a little and rushed to report.
"Well, I know, go and Xuan Zhu Zaifu to meet in one!"
Although Gao Zong is cowardly, he is not a fool. Although his heart is confused, he is not in a hurry to express his position. He is just that he has realized that this matter is not simple. If he can't handle it well, the court will be in chaos. Whether the prince falls or the Wu Hou step down, it is not what Gao Zong wants to see. After a little meditation, he will still decide. Be sure to listen to what Zhu Zaifu said and then care about it.
"No!"
Seeing that Gao Zong did not attack, Cheng Denggao was a little disappointed, but he did not dare to express it in front of Gao Zong. He could only answer respectfully and hurried out of the bedroom. After a moment, he had accompanied Pei Xingjian and other Zaifu from outside.
"I will see your majesty!"
As soon as Zhu Zaifu turned the screen, he saw Gao Zong sitting on the couch with a gloomy face. He couldn't help but be cheered, but he didn't dare to be very rude. They rushed forward one after another and worshipped in a regular manner.
"Except, after saying that, it's all noisy, huh?"
Gao Zong was in a bad mood. He didn't look at Zhu Zaifu's face very well. He raised his hand with a black face and said unhungrately.
"Your Majesty, I have received nearly a hundred folds today. They are all recommending the prince to supervise the country, which is related to the state. I dare not be good at it, so I hereby invite your majesty to make a holy decision."
Seeing that Gao Zong's look was not right, Zhu Zaifu closed his mouth after thanking him. No one was willing to speak easily. After a long period of embarrassing silence, as the assistant minister, Pei Xingjian had no choice but to stand up and carefully report.
"Well, I know. Let's talk about it. Is there any statement about this matter?"
Although Gao Zong was upset, it was not easy to attack Zhu Zaifu. He could only hold down his anxiety and asked as gently as possible.
"In your majesty's words, it's a big deal. I really don't dare to be good at it. Only your majesty's holy judge is obedient."
Pei Xingjian was originally worried about Gao Zong's questioning about Chen. When he heard that Gao Zong asked about it as soon as he came up, his scalp couldn't help but feel numb. He had no choice but to deal with it vaguely.
"All the princes are the pillars of the country. When I hand over the government affairs to Thor and others, I expect the nobles to share my worries. No matter how big or small, it is ultimately in charge of the political affairs. As for whether the holy judge is not, it's all a later story. Pei Aiqing doesn't want to tell me that you can't even make up a piece of it, huh?"
Pei Xingjian wanted to be vague, but unfortunately, Gao Zong did not intend to let him pass through it so easily. He held a strip of Chen unrelentlessly. There was a gun and a stick in his words, which made Pei Xingjian sweat all over.
"Your Majesty forgives me, I am incompetent, ashamed, ashamed."
Even if it is Pei Xingjian, he has been an eunuch for a long time, and he was also a little panicked by Gao Zong's muffled stick. He knew that Gao Zong's move was intentional. His intention was just to force the political hall to decide on this matter, but he did not dare to complain much. He could only take half a step back in fear, bowed his body, and his face was full of shame. Blessed.
"Incompetent? I don't believe that all the public are so incompetent. Humph, everything can't escape the word 'serious'. This is the foundation of governance. I don't want to hear much excuses. The princes went to draw up a plan to see me again. Let's all retreat.
Gao Zong himself did not know how to break such a lawsuit, especially in the case of not knowing the intention of the prince and Empress Wu, and he was unwilling to make a serious decision on this matter. No matter whether the political hall would be difficult because of this, he rudely scolded Pei Xingjian and kicked the ball back to the feet of the political affairs hall. Down.
"No, I'm leaving."
Hearing Gao Zong's words, the assistants who had hoped to hand over the contradictions were dumbfounded, but when they saw Gao Zong's gloomy face, no one dared to say the word "no". They could only bowed and agreed, and left the bedroom helplessly and turned back to the political hall by themselves, and then I don't want to mention the "difficult/proportance" clause.
"A bunch of slippery heads!"
Zhu Zaifu went away, but Gao Zong's mood did not improve. On the contrary, it was even worse. Once again, he got up and scolded angrily. He brushed his big sleeves, and walked back and down in the bedroom with his head down. The speed was so fast that Cheng Deng, who was waiting beside him, was dazzled, but he did not dare to have a trace of difference. What he was afraid of was that Gao Zong turned his anger to his head. He could only hold his breath carefully and wait silently.
"Go, Prince Xuan, come to see me!"
After Gao Zong wandered for a long time, he suddenly stopped his feet, gritted his teeth, stared at Cheng Denggao, and squeezed a word from between his teeth.
"No, the old slave obeys the order!"
Seeing Gao Zong's angry look, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to say more. He hurriedly answered, turned around and rushed out of the bedroom.
"Wait, go, invite Mei Niang to me first!"
I didn't wait for Cheng Denggao to leave, but Gao Zong's idea changed again.
"Ah, yes, I'm going, I'm going!"
Hearing that Gao Zong wanted to see Wu first, Cheng Deng's hanging heart immediately fell to the ground, but he did not dare to show it in front of Gao Zong. He hurriedly answered a few times, hurriedly led the two little eunuchs out of the bedroom and rushed away in the direction of the White Horse Temple in a carriage...
In the study of the East Palace of Taiji Palace, Li Xianduan, dressed in a neat imperial costume, sat behind the copywriting, holding the book folds. He seemed to be looking at it carefully, but in fact, he didn't see Li Xian turn the page for a long time. Obviously, his mind was not in the folds at all. The reason why he behaved very calmly was actually just to raise It's just anger, but in fact, there are still a lot of waves in my heart, which is not surprising. This disturbance is a little big. Although there is already a plan in mind, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no omissions. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if it is as strong as Li Xian, it is inevitably nervous.
"Your Highness."
Just as Li Xian was in a dull daze, the figure in the study flashed, and Luo Tong, dressed in the bodyguard costume of the East Palace, appeared in the room, but when he saw a big step in front of the copywriting, he quickly bowed and gently called.
"Well, what's the situation?"
Hearing the sound, Li Xian immediately raised his head, glanced at Luo Tong, and asked in a gentle tone.
"When I returned to Your Highness, the news came from the inside line. According to the news, the political affairs hall will not agree. I went to meet the saint to ask for the saint, but unexpectedly, your majesty did not say a word, but only asked the political hall to discuss this matter. In addition, your majesty has sent Cheng Denggao to the White Horse Temple to return to return to the palace!"
As Li Xian's confidant, Luo Tong knew the general reason of the matter, and how could he not know that it was a big deal? Hearing Li Xian's question, he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly reported the news one by one.
Oh, the old man really trusts the old thief more. I'm afraid it will be a twist!
When he heard that Gao Zong summoned the Empress Wu first, Li Xian's heart inevitably darkened. Although his face was still calm, there was a trace of gloomy in his eyes...
