At dawn, the ministers gathered outside the gate and waited for the court.

Li Tong stayed overnight in the official residence of Luantai, and now he is on duty in parallel with the officials of Luantai.

Soon someone noticed this, and they couldn't help whispering, they didn't have too much contact with the young king in their daily life or concerns, but after all, the identity of the young king was here, and there would be more or less concern. Today is just a normal dynasty, not looking forward to Shuo, why did the young king appear here and go into class with the officials of Luantai?

Li Tong is actually a little helpless, the mastermind behind the scenes has been doing it for a long time, and he is not used to being paid so much attention. However, after today, it is difficult for him not to attract attention, and when he sees the officials dodging and looking at him, his mood is also a little complicated.

He didn't know how many people present were really interested in Li Tang, and the way he stepped into the current situation would definitely make some people find it difficult to accept. But if you want to make a living in such a world, how can it be so simple if you don't get dirty.

Only by living can there be a future, and no matter how innocent the fish on the chopping board is, it is just a meal on a human plate. He is not willing to be slaughtered by others, not for fish and meat, that is, for knives, making such a choice, it is inevitable that he will be criticized by others, this kind of consciousness, Li Tong still has this kind of awareness.

By the time he entered the Rank Guard, these court bigwigs had more or less heard about what had happened last night, and they no longer looked at him as indifferent as before, either smiling or looking at him coldly.

However, the attention that Li Tong attracted did not last long, because soon the arrival of another minister surprised the officials present, that is, Yang Zhirou, who served as the chief of the march of Xinping Road.

Compared with before the army, Yang Zhirou's appearance was thinner and haggard, his face was full of dust, and there was a dark tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes. But what is the mental state of the person, obviously not in the scope of everyone's concern, the reason why everyone has changed color is that Yang Zhirou, the marching chief, has arrived in Shendu and publicly appeared to participate in the court meeting, so is the return date of the army attacking the Turks in the north still far away?

Seeing Yang Zhirou's arrival, Li Tong was also slightly taken aback, and then realized that if he hadn't been summoned yesterday, his grandmother was afraid that she would not be able to help but break the situation with her strength and start killing.

Yang Zhirou's return means that Xue Huaiyi's army is near, and Wu Zetian has always been the best at bluffing.

Those soldiers on a long-distance expedition themselves could not directly join in pacifying the situation in Shendu, and Wu Zetian might choose to show his fearlessness through bloody killings, gambling that those who provoked the situation in Shendu did not dare to really stand in the foreground and launch any armed rebellion.

As for now, with such an excellent means of propaganda as "The Buddha Says the Treasure Rain Sutra", it is possible that the next evolution of the situation will continue in a relatively smooth manner. After all, every time he kills, Wu Zetian himself has to bear a lot of political risks.

Of course, Yang Zhirou's early return cannot be said to be completely meaningless. If there was no expeditionary army to rely on, Wu Zetian was afraid that he would not give up Qiu Shenqi so easily.

Or rather, Wu Zetian urgently needed an explanation to stabilize the morale of the army that was about to return to the capital, so that these expeditionary troops would not be affected by the current situation in the divine capital.

What Li Tong provided was an incremental change, and there were too many hidden dangers in reactivating Qiu Shenxian, so when Li Tong said so bluntly that he wanted to get rid of Qiu Shenxian's heart, his grandmother would make such a simple decision.

Thinking of this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh again, people's thoughts sometimes can't be so clear and distinct. He was a little moved by his grandmother's actions last night, and felt that it might really be a bit of an emotional factor for his relatives, but when he turned his head to see Yang Zhirou, he realized that it was a shrewd calculation again.

The music sounded, and the ministers ascended the hall in shifts. Compared with the Wangshuo court, the scale of the daily court meeting is not so large, and the only people who participate in the court meeting are the officials of the five grades or above in the Beijing offices and the officials of Taiwan Province. The so-called worship officials are Lang officials, Sheren and Zhuyan officials, and a wider range of worship officials also include officials in the palace, Lintai and the school hall to be edicted.

Today's court meeting was arranged in the Renshou Hall, which was closer to the forbidden center, and when the hundred officials arrived here, the sky was already bright.

When the ceremonial official took the roll call, there was another small episode, and the ceremonial official directly announced in the hall that Li Shouyi, the king of Hedong, had changed his name to Li Baoyu, which inevitably made Li Tong get the attention of the officials present.

Li Tong was thanked when he came out of class, and saw that the searchlights of the ministers were constantly shooting on him, especially when Wu Sansi looked at him, he was even more jealous, which made him feel a little sweet in his heart, this feeling of being a leader on the side, if you don't make moral judgments, it is really good.

After returning to class with the edict in hand, Li Tong glanced at Wu Sansi provocatively: Look at what you can, why don't you let your aunt change your name? Think twice, think twice, why don't you call Wu Chengzu and Wu Chengzong?

However, when he saw that Wu Sansi's official robe had been changed into a three-grade Shangshu again, his mood suddenly became less happy again. He still has a long way to go if he wants to overtake in the corner, step past the Wu family and become his grandmother's real intimate little padded jacket.

But he's not in a hurry, so that's where it goes. After changing this name, in recent years, as long as he doesn't make a big death, basically no one can touch him. These rare years are also an excellent period for him to be patient to lay a foundation and engage in a career, and in the future, Wu Sansi will stare at him casually with his eyes, and directly pull out the old boy's eyeballs!

The scale of Renshou Hall is not as large as the halls of Mingtang, after Li Tong followed Ban to the palace, it was not too far from the imperial bed above, and he could see Wu Zetian sitting on the imperial bed when he looked up.

This look can't help but sigh again, power is really a good thing that can make people rejuvenate, today's Wu Zetian is very different from when they met yesterday, his sideburns are combed under the crown, his eyes are shining, and he has regained his aggressive spirit.

As if sensing Li Tong's scrutiny, Wu Zetian also lowered his eyes slightly in the hall, and nodded to this grandson.

This small interaction naturally fell into the eyes of these people in the hall, and when he looked at the young king, his face was very different, it seems that this young king's appearance in the palace today seems to contain a lot of mystery!

The rituals of the Chang Dynasty are simpler, and after the group of ministers and ministers was established, Wu Chenghe, the prime minister who was on duty in the government hall yesterday, stepped out of the ranks first, and recited some chapters with an expressionless face.

Wu Chenghe's mood naturally couldn't be happy, originally today's process should first be his first big proposal since he was the right minister of Wenchang and presided over the six government affairs of Shangshu Province, that is, the list of the departments that will be held in October will be drafted.

However, this proposal was temporarily drawn up by His Majesty the Divine Emperor, and instead added the general Qiu Shenxuan of Zuojin Wuwei to conspire against the case and commit suicide in fear of crime in the edict prison last night.

Although Wu Chenghei was not interested, after hearing the news, the courtiers were already full of discussions. Including several prime ministers who had already known about this in advance, there was still some uncertainty at this time.

Qiu Shenxian's popularity is not very good, and the reason why his life and death have caused such a big consternation is naturally because of his identity as the confidant of the God Emperor. Although there have been many rumors about Qiu Shenqi recently, especially after he was imprisoned, there were many shouts of killing, but there was no conclusive news for a long time.

But I didn't expect that when I heard the really accurate news, Qiu Shenxun, the person who embodied the greatest will of the God Emperor in the Nanya Forbidden Army, had become a dead corpse!

Wu Zetian raised his hand and pressed it, and the discussion in the hall paused slightly, and then she said: "Since I came to the court, Corporal Lixian has not dared to slack off, and Qing and other talents have been offered, and I am afraid that the position is insufficient. Qiu Mou from the door of the country, or the door style is not beautiful by the Yashi criticism, I value its loyalty and bravery, slightly its simplicity, the safety of the Beijing house depends on his body, and the courtesy is more generous than Class A. The thief doesn't think about the grace of the country, and tries my law lightly. I rule this world, love and righteousness, rules and regulations, celebrities, magic knives, people take their own, and they should check themselves! ”

Hearing this emotionless declaration, all the people in the temple were silent for a while. After another moment, Wu Chenghei continued to read out the following matters, and Yang Zhirou, who had newly returned to the capital, presented a map to the Emperor on behalf of the Xinping Dao army.

Li Tong was standing in the class, and when he heard his grandmother's declaration that there was no lack of middle school atmosphere, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he wanted to talk about such a messy idea without me, so that he didn't even feel much about the death of Qiu Shenxian, a confidant. After all, people still have to look forward, and if it is over, it will pass, and it is not worth remembering.

There were many people participating in the meeting, and there were time constraints, so many things could not be said to be concrete, probably similar to the briefings of major institutions in later generations, so that these officials could keep abreast of the general policy and line issues.

If everything is really discussed in the court, then these officials don't have to do anything else, just stand here from white to black and hold meetings.

The court meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and this was because it had been really eventful recently, and it was not calm inside and outside.

Truly participating in this kind of transactional court meeting, listening to the brief description of one major event after another, Li Tong inevitably had a sense of indifference in his heart of "taking everything as a dog", not because people have become arrogant, but because there are too many major events, and many things are listed in it, and it is really nothing more than that.

For example, the death of Qiu Shenxian, a general of Nanya, died unexpectedly, this should be a big thing no matter how you say it. But it only caused a brief surprise to the ministers, and then the energy was diverted by other events.

The most important events at the moment are, first, the triumph of Xue Huaiyi's army, second, the handling of the defeat of the Western Expedition, and third, the relief of the Taizhou earthquake. The first thing is that there is nothing to say, this kind of water skill even Wu Zetian himself is embarrassed to brag about it again.

The second thing has a surprising arrangement, that is, Zhou Xing, the autumn official servant, is to supervise the imperial history, and immediately goes to Hexi to escort the Shuren Wei to return to Luo.

Hearing this news, the ministers were even more excited than hearing about Qiu Shenxian's death. Zhou Xing, this guy has dealt with countless grievances, and the number of people who have been framed by him is countless, and the degree of abhorrence far exceeds that of Qiu Shenxian. After all, General Qiu Shenqian Nanya, even if he did evil, he would not face these ordinary courtiers.

Now Zhou Xing, a wicked man with bloody hands, has been sent out, which also makes many people want to move in their hearts, and they sincerely hope that Zhou Xing will never return.

Seeing that the ministers were like this, Li Tong was also happy. He didn't know if Zhou Xing's release was directly related to his previous operation, if there was, he could talk about it as comfort, in addition to ruining the ancestral industry and pleasing his grandmother, he might be able to indirectly save many lives.

Regarding the earthquake in Taizhou, the Zhengshitang Song stated that after the Taizhou mountain surge, many scriptures and steles were found, and the inscriptions were suspected to be Sanskrit scriptures.

Then at the end of the recital, it is mentioned that Li Baoyu, the king of Hedong, obtained a scripture in Longmen, which is a classical Ruijing, and it is suspected that it is of the same origin as Taizhou things. King Xianrui of Hedong was meritorious, sealed 300 households in Shiyi, and entered the third order of Sansan as a Zhongsan doctor.
