On the eighth day of the seventh month of the second year of Xianheng, it was the day of the early dynasty, and all the courtiers rushed to the small square in front of the gate of Zetian early, gathered together in twos and threes, and discussed in a low voice, the topic of discussion was generally the same as the case of Helan Min, and the faces of the people were happy, or worried, or anxious, or quiet, and so on, but one thing was the same, that is, the heart of anticipation, just because today's early dynasty may determine the fate of countless people, and it is related to the overall situation of the court, and no one can treat it with a normal heart.

"Yo, look, it's coming."

"Look, it's His Royal Highness."

……

In the eyes of the courtiers, the court situation at this time can be said to be extremely tense, but Li Xian does not seem to have such a nervous consciousness, until the time of the court meeting is approaching, Li Xian is late, but as soon as he arrives, it immediately caused a commotion among the courtiers for a while, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Xian, who slowly stepped out of the carriage.

"Seventh brother, early."

Looking at Li Xian, who had become the focus of attention, Li Xian's heart immediately rolled over for a while, both admiration and dissatisfaction, and more jealousy, hesitated, but still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, slowly greeted him, and greeted him in a flat tone.

I'll it, this guy is eating dry vinegar again, it's such a boring individual! Just one look at Li Xian's eyes, Li Xian immediately guessed the little calculation in his heart, and he was really angry and funny in his heart, but he didn't bother to meet with him in general, so he smiled and arched his hand and said, "Sixth brother, early." ”

"Well, seventh brother, that case ......"

Li Xian couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and came out with half a sentence.

"Sixth brother rest assured, the younger brother knows in his heart, and the younger brother should give the sixth brother an explanation."

Hearing Li Xian open his mouth to ask about the case, Li Xian couldn't help but feel upset - a few days ago, Li Xian had repeatedly told Li Xian several times, this case was too wide, and there were endless troubles involved in it, so let him wait for the news with peace of mind, this was completely out of the kindness of protecting Li Xian, but he didn't expect Li Xian to be so uncontrollable, and even sent people to the house to listen to the news. But it was not easy to refute Li Xian's face, and Li Xian could only answer vaguely.

"Well, that's fine."

Although Li Xian still wanted to ask more details, but when he heard Li Xian say this, he couldn't open this mouth again, so he could only nod reservedly, even if he had temporarily revealed the matter, he wanted to change the topic, but when he saw Yan Liben walking out of the side with square steps, he had to pause and stand aside with a deep groan.

"Your Highnesses have seen them."

Yan Liben slowly walked closer, and greeted the Li Xian brothers with a smile, but his eyes were always fixed on Li Xian's body, but he didn't even glance at Li Xian.

"Early."

Li Xian has never had a good impression of Yan Liben, the *** leader, and when he saw that he had no self in his eyes, he was even more annoyed, but it was not good to lose his dignity in this public, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and spit out a word coldly, which could be regarded as a greeting.

"Yan Xiang, it's early."

Li Xian didn't care what Yan Liben meant, he smiled, politely bowed his hand back, and greeted politely.

"His Royal Highness has worked hard these days, and as a courtier, he has not been able to help His Highness share his worries, which is really ashamed, ashamed." Yan Liben said with a smile, his old face was full of guilt, as if he really felt guilty.

"Yan Xiang has a good reputation, Xiao Wang is as talented as he can, but he doesn't dare to forget the country's worries, and what he has done is just his duty, which is really insignificant." Li Xian's experience is not in vain, when it comes to clichés, it is very smooth, if you want to find out the truth from Li Xian's mouth, there are only two words - no way!

"Your Royal Highness is too humble, the court can get His Royal Highness's talents, it is really a great luck, the old and others are willing to attach to the tail, the country is together, and I hope Your Highness will help you more." Yan Liben has dealt with Li Xian not once or twice, he knows Li Xian's ability, and when he saw Li Xian's clichés, he knew that he couldn't get the answer from Li Xian's mouth, although he was helpless, he couldn't, so he had to vaguely express his attitude of cooperation.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Yan Xiangyan is serious, Xiao Wang acts but asks his heart, whoever benefits the society, don't dare not do it, Yan Xiang is a minister of the society, Xiao Wang has always been respected, if he can be supported by Yan Xiang, it is really the luck of Xiao Wang's three lives." Yan Li had something to say, and Li Xian did the same, faintly pointing out the basis of mutual cooperation.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, yo, it's time to go to court, Your Highness, please."

Yan Liben could understand the meaning of Li Xian's words, his heart sank slightly, but he was helpless, and it happened that at this time, the shouting in the palace sounded, and Yan Liben smiled sideways, which was regarded as the end of this verbal confrontation of mutual temptation.

"Yan Xiang, please."

The last dynasty was imminent, and Li Xian didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so he smiled and bowed his hand, and walked to the courtiers who were in the whole team side by side with Li Xian.

"Seventh brother, this ......"

Li Xian was in a hurry, and he couldn't hide his words in his heart, and as soon as he was a little far away from Yan Liben, he couldn't help but say tentatively.

"Sixth brother, it's nothing, the younger brother just asked Yan Xiang to save his capital."

Regarding Li Xian's urgency, Li Xian was obviously helpless, so he could only mention it with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, his heart was happy, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and he didn't say anything more, and he and Li Xian were at the forefront of the ministers, walked into the palace gate, and went straight to the Deyang Hall along the palace avenue.

"The ministers will knock to see Your Majesty, and they will see the queen."

A group of courtiers marched into the main hall, and when they saw that Gaozong and Empress Wu were already sitting on the dragon bed, they did not dare to slack off, and they walked forward quickly, and paid their respects.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be even."

Gaozong's complexion was obviously not very good, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were faintly dark, and when he saw the arrival of the ministers, he reluctantly lifted his spirit, raised his hand weakly, and commanded with insufficient energy.

"Ministers thank Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

All the ministers noticed Gaozong's weakness, but at this moment, no one dared to lose their manners, according to the old practice, after each shouted three long live, they stood up one after another, and each fell into place according to the rank, and the early dynasty was officially started.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has this chapter to play."

As soon as the courtiers returned to their thrones, Yan Liben had already taken the lead in standing up, holding Yugui in his hand and reporting loudly.

"Yan Aiqing has a straight pipe to play, I just listen to it."

As soon as Gaozong saw Yan Liben come forward, he immediately thought of Helan Min's case, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he couldn't prohibit Yan Liben from doing something, so he could only speak patiently, and there was a lot of impatience between his words.

"Your Majesty, next spring is the year of Dabi, this is the great ceremony of the country's selection of talents, unusual and comparable, you must have outstanding literary relatives and nobles as the main examination, in order to show the importance of the court, the old minister thinks that Lu Wang Li Xian is both virtuous and capable, is the best candidate for this position, the old minister implored His Majesty to be clear." Yan Liben had been in the sea for a long time, and he could hear the impatience in Gaozong's words, but he didn't care much about it, and elaborated unhurriedly.

"Huh?"

Gaozong obviously didn't expect that what Yan Liben was talking about was Mingchun's big competition, and his thinking couldn't turn around for a while, and he was stunned, as if he didn't understand which play Yan Liben was singing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Yan Xiang said is very true, the Yuan Dabi is a major event of the country, and His Royal Highness King Lu presides over the overall situation, so he can select more talents for the court."

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the proposal!"

……

Without waiting for Gaozong to express his attitude, Le Yanwei and many other officials of the prince's family came out one after another to express their approval, and the officials of Li Xian's family also did not lag behind, and for a while, the whole hall was full of voices.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, I already know about this matter, don't ......"

The new imperial examination has just been held, and most of the dozens of jinshi selected are local small officials, even if they remain in the court, they are only minor officials at the level of the chief of each ministry, and there is no fundamental impact on the imperial court, Gaozong himself does not attach much importance to Dabi, and he originally didn't care who was the chief examiner of Dabi, but at this time, seeing that all the courtiers unanimously recommended Li Xian, he couldn't help but have some doubts, and he hesitated to know whether he should agree to it.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that the Yuan Ceremony is indeed an important matter, and it is appropriate to have an old man who is a serious person, Xian'er is outstanding in literature, but he is still young, and it may be difficult to suppress the scene, if Hao Xiang is the main examiner, Xian'er will be good for it."

Gaozong didn't understand Yan Liben's intentions in this chapter, but Empress Wu saw through the strangeness at a glance, and decided that this move must be one of the exchange conditions for cooperation between the three kings, so he refused to fulfill it, so he gave a suggestion before Gaozong made a statement.

"Well, Mei Niang's words are reasonable, and I think it's feasible." Gaozong was originally a person who did not have a big opinion, and he didn't take Dabi very seriously, this after hearing Wuhou say so, he would not object, as soon as Chrysostom opened, it was considered to have settled the matter, and immediately, regardless of how the courtiers reacted, he beckoned to Li Xianyi and said: "Xian'er, Dabi is the great ceremony of the country, you must act cautiously, learn more from Hao Xiang, or you can gain something." ”

"Yes, the sons and daughters will remember their father's orders, and they will not dare to be negligent."

Seeing that the main examination position that was about to be held was lost by Empress Wu's delicate words, the anger in Li Xian's heart could be said to be soaring to the sky, but in front of Gaozong, there was no room for what to say, so he could only honestly answer the promise, but secretly scolded the Empress Wu to a bloody head......
