Chapter 722: It's All Acting (Part II)
The end has passed, the deliberations in the political hall are still continuing, but it is a dead silence of a faction, no one has spoken, all of them have gloomy faces, sitting still, as if a statue of wood carved clay in general, it is clear that the deliberations have become a deadlock, the two factions stand side by side, no one can convince anyone, the reasons for the statement have already been stated, the quarrel has also been argued, and now there is only wordless silence, in such a situation, since no one wants to provoke a war again, the atmosphere in the hall seems to be frozen, It's so loud that the atmosphere is a little breathless.
"Ahem, ahem."
Facing the stalemate, Pei Xingjian was really helpless in his heart, if it was possible, he wanted to be silent to the end, but unfortunately he couldn't, as the first assistant, he had to urge the political hall to come up with a statement, this is a responsibility that he can't escape, even if he is reluctant, he can only be the first to be the first bird, but seeing that he faked coughing twice, he attracted all the attention of Zhu Zaifu, and then said in a deep tone: "Princess, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have an oracle in this matter, if you can't negotiate a statement, I'm afraid that it can't be explained, but now that each has its own holds, it will be better to vote, I don't know if the public can have objections? ”
"Seconded!"
"Yes!"
"That's fine!"
……
Hao Chujun and others all knew that although Pei Xingjian had never expressed his position, he was actually a staunch supporter of Li Xian, and with such a crucial vote, there was no reason to disagree with this proposal, so they echoed it one after another.
"Something is against! It's about the court situation, how can it be child's play! ”
Although Jia Chaoyin is not a smart person, he is not stupid, he has long known where Pei Xingjian's mind is, and he only needs to vote, but the result is not good, so he refuses to do so, and he is busy speaking out against it.
"If Lord Jia thinks that the vote is inappropriate, then come up with an alternative method."
Hao Chujun has always looked at Jia Chao and couldn't hide it, but when he saw him jump out and sing the opposite, he immediately unceremoniously took one of his troops.
"This ......, old man, ah, Lord Yue, what do you think of this matter?"
Jia Chaoyin's ability is very limited, how can he find any alternative, and he was choked by Hao Chujun so embarrassed that he had to turn his attention to Li Zhen, the king of Yue, for help.
"Well, what Jia Xiang said is also reasonable, this matter should be cautious, well, it's better to be cautious."
Li Zhen naturally didn't want to see Li Xian's situation in prison, but if he wanted to come up with a voting plan, he had nothing to think about, so he avoided the importance and lightly echoed Jia Chaoyin.
"What His Royal Highness King Yue said is very true, this matter should indeed be cautious, if something goes wrong, it must not be tricked."
As soon as Li Zhen spoke, Gao Zhizhou, as his confidant, naturally followed closely.
"That's not good, that's not appropriate, it's still a big deal, hum!"
Although Hao Chujun is old, his temper is not small, and when he saw that King Yue was pushing again, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed, so he got up, shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and planned to leave.
"Hao Gong, wait!"
Pei Xingjian, as the first assistant, has the important responsibility of presiding over the overall situation of the political affairs hall, and he can't sit back and watch this discussion break up unhappily, seeing that Hao Chujun is leaving, he can't help but be a little anxious, and he hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly said hello.
"Hao Gong, don't you have to be angry, the discussion is just something to say, what do you say?"
The number of votes in the political hall is not dominant, Jia Chaoyin is eager to discuss this matter, it is better to break up unhappily, this time seeing that Hao Chujun is leaving, he hurriedly said a sentence without yin and yang, making it clear that he wants to further provoke Hao Chujun's anger.
"Yes, yes, Jia Xiang's words are reasonable, can you sit down and talk about anything?"
Li Zhen's mind is not very different from Jia Chaoyin's, and he is happy to see Hao Chujun go away in a bad mood, so he pretends to be a good person, and seems to persuade him to say a word.
"Wait ......"
Hao Chujun is not a good stubble, although the anger in his heart is booming, but his IQ will not be lowered because of this, just listen to it and already understand the sinister intentions of Jia Chaoyin and others, but then he will understand it, but the anger in his heart will not be reduced because of it, his face sank, and he planned to give Jia Chaoyin a few ruthless words.
"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen of Heaven has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
If Hao Chujun really scolded someone, although Jia Chaoyin and the others would be a little ugly on their faces, they could use this matter to completely disrupt this discussion, and not make noise, just learn from Hao Chujun's previous style, and come to a flick of his sleeves to make this discussion end without a problem, this kind of intention can not be said to be sinister, but unfortunately before Hao Chujun scolded, he heard the loud shouting outside, and when the Zaifu heard that the three great gods arrived at the same time, how could they still take care of the anger, and they all stood up in a hurry, and reached out to the official robe on their bodies indiscriminately, Then they stood solemnly, nervously waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the queen!"
Zhu Zaifu had just finished sorting out his personal image, and Gaozong and his wife had been accompanied by Li Xian from the hall to come in.
"All Aiqing, please get up."
Gaozong's mental outlook is obviously good, although his face is still pale, but the smile on his face is extraordinarily kind, and after walking side by side with Empress Wu and sitting down, he raised his hand and shouted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
As soon as they saw Gaozong's smile so relaxed, and the angry look that they had seen more than an hour ago, the hearts of all the Zaifu were all alive, but at this moment, no one dared to lose their manners, and they all thanked them in a proper manner, and then stood on their left and right sides.
"All of you Aiqing have worked hard, come, sit down, eat first, and then it's not too late to discuss."
Although Gaozong has not been in charge of politics for a long time, he still cares very much about the attitude of the Zaifu to himself, and at this time, seeing that all the Zaifu are very respectful, he is very satisfied, he stretched out his hand and stroked the long beard on his chest, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zaifu are often walking in the palace masters, in the past there are no less feasts, but those times do not feel very rare, but at this time it is different, after all, there is a major event related to the national body, this banquet, naturally not so delicious, although the Zaifu have different thoughts, but in the response, but there is no difference, all of them hurried to thank the grace, and sat down in a proper manner, on the surface it seems that all of them have a calm attitude, but in fact, the big guy's heart is already boiling at this time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't use alcohol, so I won't advise you to drink, Aiqing and others are free to do as they please."
The dishes in the imperial dining room are generally steamed in a warm pot, in case the emperor can pass the meal at any time, the material is good, but the taste, in fact, it is just average, it is really not very delicious, besides, with the presence of the three great gods, how dare the Zaifu really let go, and there is no singing and dancing, this meal is really dull enough, not to mention that the Zaifu are uncomfortable, that is, Gaozong is also a little uncomfortable, and he has the intention to adjust the atmosphere, so he smiled and commanded.
"What Your Majesty said is that you Aiqing just open up and use it well, well, it's just that having wine doesn't help but it's not appropriate, Xian'er has always been talented, why don't you say something interesting about the wine?"
As soon as Gaozong's words fell, and without waiting for the Zaifu to say thank you, the Empress Wu had already interjected from the side with a smile.
"The queen mother has an order, the child should obey, the child really has a joke, or can be used for the public to have fun, it is said that there is a lifetime to take the scholar to catch the exam, on the way the wind blows the hat down, the scholar said: the hat falls to the ground (first). Sheng was furious and said: An dares to speak to the ground, you have to say the ground! Tong Heran, pick up the hat on the ground, put the top of the life, tie it with a rope, and then say: So, never to the ground! There is no place to live! ”
As soon as the Empress Wu finished speaking, the full hall of Zaifu were all dumbfounded, not for anything else, just because telling jokes with wine was Youling's job, and it should not be done by the prince, of course, on such occasions, there is no Youling, and the prince will flatter him, which makes sense in theory, but if the prince should not, then the fun will be great, but to the surprise of the Zaifu, Li Xian actually did not excuse himself, and opened his mouth with a smile and said a joke.
"Hahaha......"
The prince said a joke, whether it was funny or not, all the zaifu had to follow the joy, and for a while, the hall was full of laughter, and the depressed atmosphere dissipated, of course, the zaifu were smiling in their mouths, but they were quickly thinking about it in their hearts, and they were all assessing what kind of agreement had been reached between the mother and son, who had never been in harmony.
"Well, Xian'er's joke is really funny, my mother hasn't laughed so heartily for a long time, be rewarded!"
Zhu Zaifu burst into laughter, and the Empress Wu also followed suit, of course, she couldn't really laugh and lean forward, that is, she covered her face with her sleeves, twitched the corners of her mouth a few times, even if she was happy, as soon as Bu put down his sleeves, he didn't hesitate to say that he wanted to reward, but the reward was not clear.
"It is the honor of the sons and daughters to be able to smile at the queen mother, and they dare not be rewarded again, if the queen mother does not give up, the sons still have a joke to be happy with, and the words ......"
As soon as Empress Wu's voice fell, Li Xian continued to joke again, and as usual, it caused a full house of laughter, but this time the laughter was a little more brisk, not for anything else, just because all the Zaifu had already seen the strange thing from the mother and son's singing and harmonizing emotional drama, which was nothing more than hinting at the direction of the big guy's discussion, that is, it was better to maintain the status quo than anything else, this is to solve the urgent need of the Zaifu, if you don't hurry up and follow Leyu, when will you wait......
