Chapter 648: Wanting to Welcome and Refuse (I)

Seeing that the sky is about to be early, although all the things that should be explained have been explained, and the preparations that should be made have already been arranged, but Li Xian still feels that there is some uncertainty, just because the deployment of the Empress Wu is now only showing a vague outline, Rao is "Ming Di" has been launched with all his might, but still has not been able to get accurate news, obviously, for the success of this court discussion, the Empress Wu must have issued a gag order, in order to hit Li Xian by surprise, in the case of the enemy situation is still unclear, Li Xian didn't dare to be blindly optimistic, even if the sky was already dark, Li Xian didn't care about resting, and still worked with Zhang Cambodia and Di Renjie, two confidants, to deliberate on the possible variables of the court situation one by one.

"Your Royal Highness, the Yue Wangfu has sent a letter."

Just when everyone was discussing hotly, they saw Gao Miao hurriedly turn out from behind the screen, hurriedly rushed to Li Xian, and whispered a word.

"Oh?"

Hearing that Li Zhen had sent a letter at such a sensitive moment, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't say much, he reached out and took the letter stamped with fire paint, only tore it, then tore the seal open, took out a piece of white paper full of words from the inside, and after a rough look, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say much about the letter, but just asked lightly: "Where is the messenger?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the man handed over the letter and left, without much to say, Ding Quan also asked him if he needed a receipt, and that person should not just go by himself."

Gao Miao didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that Li Xian's face didn't seem right, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out with the information he had learned.

"Well, got it, let's go down."

As soon as he heard Gao Miao say this, Li Xian didn't ask any further, just waved his hand and commanded lightly.

"No!"

Since Li Xian said this, Gao Miao didn't dare to delay a little, and after answering, he hurriedly withdrew from the study.

"Your Highness, isn't this letter about the restoration of Persia?"

Di and Zhang are both wise men in the world, when they saw Li Xian with such a demeanor, they both guessed the content of the letter, the difference is that Di Renjie is more mellow, Li Xian doesn't say it, he will never ask questions, but Zhang Cambodia has no scruples, and asks directly.

"Well, the whole nonsense, that is, it hints that there may be waves in the restoration of Persia, and this letter is not written by him, let alone paid, hey, the eighth uncle of this palace is cautious and has arrived at home, and he wants to please both sides, and his intentions are not right in the first place, and he will come from a time when he suffers greatly!"

Li Xian crumpled the letter into a ball, casually threw it into the paper basket on the side, and commented disdainfully.

"It's not Princess Taiping who reminded me that His Royal Highness King Yue's gift is not light, although the affection is fake, but the news is true and undoubted, tomorrow's waves must be not small, His Royal Highness must be cautious."

Zhang Cambodia also looked down on Li Zhen's self-pretentious cleverness, and was very sarcastic, but he didn't forget to remind Li Xian to be cautious in his words.

"Well, this palace has a plan in mind, and then let's discuss it."

The matter had reached a critical moment, Li Xianzi didn't want to delve into King Yue's "good intentions", and with a wave of his hand, he had already put the matter of King Yue's letter behind him, and discussed the previous topic with Zhang and Di......

On September 22, the second year of Yifeng, the hour was approaching, the sky was dark and dark, there were no stars and no moon, it was difficult to see the five fingers when he stretched out his hand, even if a few lanterns around him were still bright, but they could not illuminate the three-foot land, not only could not give people light, but made the night a little darker, the wind was not small, and the autumn wind was cold to the bone, but Li Xian did not care, even if the court clothes on his body were not actually thick, but they could not affect Li Xian's tall and mountain-like posture at all.

The time of the last dynasty is about to come, but the Qianyuan Hall is still a faction of dead and heavy, which makes Li Xian, who has been waiting in front of the palace for a long time, can't help but be slightly annoyed, just because today's early dynasty is quite important, and there is no room for mistakes, even if he has done his homework, but until the moment the dust settles, Li Xian does not dare to take it lightly, just because the pressure is not only from the Empress Wu, Gaozong's mentality is also the key to this court dispute, but in the past two days, Li Xian's repeated requests to see Gaozong have been blocked, I couldn't find a chance to reach a consensus with Gaozong in advance, so the variables of this court discussion will undoubtedly increase a lot, and whether I can have the last laugh is still between the two, in this case, Li Xian's heart will fluctuate.

"The queen of heaven has arrived!"

Just when Li Xian was impatiently waiting, there was a loud sound of footsteps, and Cheng Denggao's sharp voice had already taken the lead from the hall, and the crowd of people who had been waiting outside the hall were all in a hurry, ready to take over.

"The son knocks on the queen mother."

As soon as he heard Cheng Denggao shouting the Dao Fa, Li Xian knew that this court meeting was presided over by the Empress Wu alone, and his heart couldn't help but sink, but he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the Empress Wu who had just stepped out of the palace gate.

"Excuse me, the hour is coming, and go up to the court."

Empress Wu did not rush to call out, but looked at Li Xian with deep meaning, and let Li Xian carry out the big salute to the end, and then ordered lightly.

"No, my son respectfully asks the queen mother to get up."

Although he had already noticed the ill-intentioned in Empress Wu's eyes, Li Xian didn't react much, just obediently leaned over and asked Empress Wu to go up first.

"Hmm."

Empress Wu deliberately made a sluggish look, just to see how Li Xian reacted, generally to test whether Li Xian knew about the surprise attack that would be launched today, but unfortunately Li Xian's face was as usual, and he couldn't see anything wrong, and a sense of loss for no reason came to his heart, and he didn't bother to bother more, so he nodded gracefully, sighed lightly, walked down the steps in front of the hall, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked towards the soft chariot that stopped aside, A group of eunuchs and palace maids who were accompanying them rushed forward, and waited for the queen to go on the soft chariot.

"Drive Deyang Palace!"

The Empress Wu had just fallen, and Cheng Denggao didn't wait for Li Xian to take his reins, so he drank a sip on his own, and waited for the Empress Wu's brigade to move even if they heard the order, and walked in the direction of Deyang Palace, not caring whether Li Xian, the prince, followed or not.

"Let's get up."

Cheng Denggao's way of holding this was really rude, and the people in the East Palace who entered the palace with Li Xian couldn't help but change their colors, but Li Xian himself didn't take it to heart, only he knew very well that Cheng Denggao's move was just deliberately provoking himself, but he didn't bother to see it in general. The people of the East Palace didn't dare to delay a little, so they took their own actions, hugged the soft chariot that Li Xian was riding, quickened their pace, followed the honor guard of the Empress Wu, and also rushed to the Deyang Palace......

"The queen of heaven has arrived!"

In the Deyang Palace, the ministers had been waiting for a long time, but no one dared to whisper, and they all stood quietly in the hall, until Cheng Deng's voice sounded, and the ministers and workers moved one after another, and they hurriedly tidied up their official robes.

"The ministers knock on the queen of heaven!"

As soon as they saw the Empress Wu turn out of the apse, the ministers did not dare to slack off, and they paid their respects.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

With the increasing frequency of Gaozong's illness, the number of times the Empress Wu came to the court alone was already not old and young, and he was already familiar with the affairs of the court, and he did not feel the slightest sense of nervousness, but he saw that he walked up to the front with his head held high, and sat on the dragon bed with a majestic demeanor, raised his hand in a void, and called out in a calm voice.

"Wait for Xie Niangniang Longen!"

Just as the Empress Wu has long been accustomed to the courtiers shouting a tsunami-like courtesy, the courtiers have long been accustomed to the Empress Wu coming to the court alone, and no one has any objections to the imperial posture of the Empress Wu, all of them thanked them respectfully, and then each fell into place, and today's early dynasty is officially begun.

"Do you have any chapters to play?"

After all the courtiers stood still, Empress Wu looked around the ministers majestically, and then opened her mouth with a solemn expression.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Weichen has a book to play!"

As soon as Empress Wu's voice fell, the new Honglu Temple Qing Yuan Wanqing had already flashed out from the side, holding the fold of the yellow silk mask in his hand, and said in a loud voice.

Yuan Wanqing stood out like this, the ministers couldn't help but be stunned, because Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs reception, ethnic affairs and funeral ceremonies, its functions, equivalent to the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ethnic Affairs Commission, and part of the General Office, according to the Tang system, all affairs of Honglu Temple are under the jurisdiction of the political hall, unless it involves the state funeral, there is not much important matter worth discussing in the court, the official has always been this official, the dignitary is noble, but it is just an idle official, although the rank is quite high, But most of them are just observers of the court meeting, and there are very few times to express their opinions, let alone to lead the direction of the court discussion from the beginning, it is obvious that Yuan Wanqing's actions are really abrupt, and the courtiers who don't know the root are really a little unable to react for a while.

Hey, sure enough, it's coming, I'm really going to give us a surprise attack, let's see! As soon as he saw Yuan Wanqing jumping out so impatiently, Li Xian's face was still calm, but there was a trace of essence flashing in his eyes, but he didn't react too much, just sat quietly on the Jindunzi, waiting to see how the Empress Wu's party would perform such a big drama of forcing the palace.

"Aiqing, why do you have to play this chapter, this palace listens."

Empress Wu quickly glanced at the courtiers, and saw that most of the courtiers were stunned and dazed, obviously not knowing what Yuan Wanqing was going to play, the leak that he was worried about did not seem to have happened, and he was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but feel a little more complacent in his voice......
