Chapter 285: The Mountain Rain is Coming, and the Wind Fills the Building (II)

"The Holy One has arrived!"

It was almost noon, just when everyone in the front hall was waiting anxiously, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the apse, and immediately, Gao Hesheng's unique shrill voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded, and the eyes of all the people turned to the screen at the apse, and immediately saw Gao Zong's gloomy face came out first, and Ming Chongyan, who was as pale as paper, slowly mixed in the crowd of accompanying eunuchs.

"Ministers (sons, ministers, etc.) knock to see Your Majesty (father)!"

As soon as Gaozong arrived, the group of people did not dare to slack off, and they each stood up and paid homage.

"Flat, it's all flat."

Gaozong's complexion was extremely poor, obviously some of them were absent-minded, lowered his head, walked slowly to the front of the tower, and did not look at the ministers, and waved his hand indiscriminately After saying a word, he sat down on the dragon bed heavily.

"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gaozong can be at will, but the ministers dare not slack off, they are full of thoughts, but they still have to thank them according to the rules.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

Empress Wu first exchanged glances with Ming Chongyan, who stood still at the end of the ministers, and then stretched out his hand and helped Gaozong into the seat with great tenderness, and then asked a word.

"It's okay, I won't be able to die for a while."

Gaozong shook his head with a bitter face, and let out a long sigh, and his endless sadness was undoubtedly expressed in this sigh - Gaozong's body has always been weak, and it is like this since he was small, but it does not prevent him from taking Taizong as his own example, for this reason, since Gaozong succeeded to the throne, in fact, he secretly wanted to work hard, but when his health was good, it was when the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were in power, and it was almost not Gaozong's turn to be in charge of affairs, and he finally defeated the eldest grandson Wuji, just thinking about cheering up, but his body collapsed again, had to fake the martial arts to take care of the affairs of the court, so that it caused countless turmoil in the court, this year, the body finally improved, just tried his best to get back the imperial power, but the body was not good in a blink of an eye, this kind of ambition but can not be paid for the tragedy of how embarrassed Gao Zongqing?

"Your Majesty, if you are not in good health, just rest more, don't be tired, and explain anything to the concubine." Empress Wu obviously understood the bitterness in Gaozong's sigh, but she didn't break it, but gently comforted her.

"Well, Mei Niang still knows me the most."

Facing Empress Wu's affection, Gaozong's face gradually softened, he reached out and patted Empress Wu's arm, nodded, and sighed.

"Your Majesty, the concubine body can share some worries for you, this life is enough."

Empress Wu looked at Gaozong with affection in her eyes, as if she was loyal, and she spoke as if she was pouring out her true feelings.

"I can trust Mei Niang's words, if it weren't for Mei Niang's support over the years, I wouldn't know how to deal with myself." Gaozong was obviously moved by Wu Meiniang's words, there were faint tears flashing in his eyes, his tone choked and nodded heavily, and then turned his head to look around at the people in the hall, and said with a fake cough: "Ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, every time I want to cheer up, but I am riddled with diseases, I have the heart and powerlessness, fortunately Mei Niang's hard work, I have to ensure the safety of the society, I really dare not or forget, now I have the old disease suddenly, I have no power to govern, stealing the big position is not what I want, I want to be inferior to Mei Niang, what do the ministers think?" ”

“……”

As soon as Gaozong's astonishing words came out, all the people in the hall were petrified, and everyone was dumbfounded, no one knew why Gaozong highlighted such nonsense, not only the princes and courtiers were all stupid, but the martial queen who was gently supporting Gaozong was also completely stunned, and for a time the hall was full of strange dead silence.

"No, absolutely not!"

In the dead silence, he saw Hao Chujun walking out and objected loudly.

"Why did Hao Xiang say this, every time I rely on Mei Niang to govern, it must be indispensable, and Mei Niang's big and small things are deeply in line with my intentions, and Mei Niang will govern, which can lead to peace in the world, why can't I say it?" Gaozong looked at Hao Chujun with a surprised look on his face, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have tasted the rites and scriptures: 'The Son of Heaven is the Yang Dao, and the Hou is the Yin Virtue.'" Then the emperor and the queen, the sun and the moon, the yang and the yin, each has its own master. Your Majesty wants to violate this way now, and the ministers are afraid that the upper will see the heavens, and the lower ones will blame others. Emperor Wen of the former Wei Dynasty ordered that the queen was not allowed to come to the court after his death, so why did His Majesty want to bow to the autobiography of the Queen of Heaven? In addition, the world of Gaozu and Taizong is not the world of His Majesty. His Majesty is in harmony with the temple and the descendants of the heirs, and they must not hold the country and others, and they are private in their descendants. I beg your majesty to think twice! Hao Chujun's face was pale, and he refuted it without leaving any affection for Gaozong, quoting scriptures and classics, and not giving an inch!

"Your Majesty, what Hao Xiang said is very true, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, this sincerity can't mess with the government, please forgive the old minister for not agreeing!"

"Your Majesty, Sheji is the Li family's Sheji, how can you be the emperor from the back, such a chaotic life, the old ministers and others really dare not respond!"

……

As soon as Hao Chujun's voice fell, Yan Liben was the first to jump out and echo loudly, and immediately, Pei Xingjian, Le Yanwei and others also came out to oppose it, and their words became more and more intense, almost pointing at Gaozong's nose and scolding mediocrity, but the princes didn't move-the prince's eyes rolled, and he had guessed Gaozong's intention to deliberately say such amazing words, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but there was a worried look on his face, as for Li Xian, as for Li Xian, just thinking about getting out of the ranks, he was dragged by Li Xian, who was standing beside him, from behind, and had to stop, looked at Li Xian with a puzzled face.

Alas, the old man is really well-intentioned, he wants to help the prince occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, but unfortunately, you still underestimate the ruthlessness of the old thief, you are so whole, I am afraid that the prince will not have long to jump! When it comes to political IQ, Li Xian is definitely second to none among the people in the palace, and he can match the Empress Wu, how can he not see which play Gaozong is singing, and how can he guess how the Empress Wu will deal with this situation, but in this case, Li Xian is impossible to come out to break the key to the matter, of course, Li Xian has not yet thought about whether to save the prince, and keeping silent has become Li Xian's only feasible choice.

"Your Majesty, you must not say this, the concubine will not dare to respond to the order of death, if you insist, the concubine should die with a clear will."

Empress Wu is a shrewd individual, his political IQ is not slightly worse than Li Xian, and he also saw what Gaozong meant, and his heart was a colic, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only pretend to be sincerely afraid, knelt on the ground, and persuaded with a choked voice.

"Mei Niang, you ......, hurry, hurry up, I, I, alas, can't I say something wrong? I'm also thinking about the community. Looking at the frightened face of Empress Wu, Gaozong's heart immediately rolled over for a while, but the role that should be played, Gaozong still followed it.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is both virtuous and capable, and he can manage the government, and if Your Majesty's dragon body is against the peace, then it is the same for the prince to do it for him." Empress Wu felt pain like a knife in her heart, but the words were still said according to Gaozong's meaning.

"I already know the meaning of the princes, and now the queen is optimistic about Hong'er's ability, and I also think that it should be so, I wonder if the princes are willing to assist the prince in governing the government?" Gaozong staged such a big show, in order to force the martial queen to express his position, this after hearing the martial arts, he had already opened his mouth, and he got off the donkey by borrowing the slope, and turned around to force Zhu Zaifu to express his attitude.

"The ministers are willing to make meritorious deeds for the prince!"

Yan Li himself is the absolute confidant of the crown prince, so naturally he will not oppose Gaozong's intentions, and he was the first to stand up and resolutely express his position.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that the ministers should do their best to assist the prince to ensure the integrity of the society."

Pei Xingjian and others can be the best ministers, naturally they are not stupid, at this time, how can they not see Gaozong's true intentions, for them, assisting the prince to become the emperor is the responsibility of the original, and there is no much resistance, plus there is Yan Liben's statement in front, everyone is happy to echo the last time.

"Father, the son is terrified, and he asks the father to take back his life, and the child should try his best to share his father's worries!"

Everyone expressed their words burningly, the prince can no longer sit still, no matter what, he has to hurry up and thank him, otherwise, how can he reflect his pure filial piety, not only to thank him, but also to cry bitterly, this can be regarded as loyalty.

"Idiot, don't be like this, I'm sick and crippled, and I can't afford to be in power, but I put the burden on Er's shoulders, is it me, isn't Hong'er unwilling to help me share one or two?" Gaozong raised his hand with a loving face and asked kindly.

"Father, rest assured, no matter how difficult it is, the child will do his best for his father, and he will live up to his father's trust." At this point in the play, the heat is almost over, and the prince is naturally happy to quickly take over Gaozong's words and show his loyalty.

"Well, with Hong'er's words, I am relieved." Gaozong nodded with a look of relief, and then turned his gaze to the Li Xian brothers who were standing next to the hall, and obviously groaned for a while, and then opened his mouth and said: "Xian'er, Xian'er, are you willing to help Hong'er take care of the government?" ”

"Father, rest assured, the children should do their best to help the prince's brother, and they dare not slack off in the slightest."

So far, no matter what Li Xian and the brothers have in their hearts, the attitude they should express is indispensable, and under this response, they really have some generosity to die.

"Well, in this way, I can rest assured, I am not feeling well, so I don't have to wait, I don't have to wait, I don't have to wait."

Seeing that the big thing had been settled, Gaozong's spirit couldn't help but be relieved, and the sleepiness inevitably surged up uncontrollably, and he really didn't want to talk to everyone anymore, so he stood up, waved his hand, and then turned to the apse by himself, his back was thin and rickety, which was unbearable to witness......
