On the tenth day of the first month of the third year of Yifeng, the provincial servant of the door Hao Chujun sealed the Jin Wu Chenghei of the Wuhou for the Yizhi of the Zhongshu Order, as soon as this matter came out, the government and the opposition were shocked - since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, the number of times the province sealed back the emperor's will is not less, the generation of famous ministers Wei Zheng did not make such a move, and since Gaozong took power, he often eats such closed-door soup, it is not uncommon to say, but it falls on the Wuhou, but it is different, because since the Wuhou Dynasty, the Yizhi has really never been sealed, this time it can be regarded as unprecedented, In addition, the connotation is the promotion of the nephew of the martial queen, the sensation caused by it is inevitably bigger, the government and the opposition are talking about it, the dark tide has also begun to surge, all kinds of alliances emerge in endlessly, under the wrestling of all forces, the atmosphere in the capital is so strange that it is suffocating, and all kinds of rumors are rampant, so that the high-ranking sect with nine layers can not sit still, and can't wait for the morning of the next day, and hurriedly summoned all the Zaifu and the prince Li Xian into the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace to discuss this matter.

"Let's talk about it, how should this matter be resolved?"

Gaozong's body was already weak, angry and anxious, his complexion was quite bad, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were big and black, and the whole person was haggard as if he would fall when the wind blew.

Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, this matter is already sensitive, plus one saw Gaozong's disgraced face, all the courtiers didn't want to be the first bird, they all kept silent, the hall was quiet, only Gaozong's rapid gasp sounded like a windmill.

"What? All dumb, huh? What's the use of waiting for me! ”

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Gaozong's face became more and more ugly, and in a hurry, he drank regardless of it, without saving any face for the group of top ministers below.

"The father is angry, and the sons think that the Zhongshu Order is one of the pillars of the society, and those who do not have both ability and political integrity cannot do it.

Seeing Gaozong's anger like this, Li Xian couldn't bear it, so he stood up from the brocade and bowed down and replied.

"Your Majesty respectfully requests the Holy Judgment!"

With Li Xian taking the lead, all the courtiers did not dare to lag behind, and they all bowed down to echo it.

"Hmph, Holy Judge, what a Holy Judge! Now that you know that you want to be judged, you have already done something, huh? ”

It is very difficult for Gaozong to get angry, but once he gets angry, it is not so easy to calm down, even if the ministers are sincere, he still refuses to give up, and reprimands unceremoniously.

Why did you go earlier? Look at what the old man said, you are hiding in the palace and enjoying Qingfu, don't care about, who can tell you first, this time it is strange to others, it is really not sure where to start, besides, this matter is your old mother-in-law to make trouble, I really want to scold, you always have the courage to scold your mother-in-law, I am afraid that you don't have the guts, of course, this is such a reason, the big guy has a number in his heart, but who dares to say it in person, in desperation, the courtiers have to continue to pretend to be wooden, Let Gaozong be furious from above.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, your dragon body is important, if there is something, everyone will slowly discuss it."

Gaozong was angry, and his mouth was gone, and after scolding Zaifu, scolding the minister, he scolded and scolded, and he was about to scold the head of the Empress Wu, and the Empress Wu couldn't keep silent anymore, so he hurriedly interjected a sentence from the side and persuaded softly.

"Discussion, okay, then let's discuss, I want to see what kind of negotiation method this negotiation is, hum!"

Gaozong scolded for a while, and the anger in his heart was almost discharged, and the fear was always there, so he didn't scold anymore when he saw Wuhou, but he just flicked his sleeves angrily and snorted coldly hatefully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the position of Zhongshu Ling is very important and indispensable, so you can say what you think."

Empress Wu has been in the dynasty for many years, and his ability to control the scene is extremely strong, and when he saw Gaozong, he immediately took over the presiding power, and opened his mouth shamelessly.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the old minister thinks that the post of Zhongshu Ling is related to the stability of the court, and non-pro-noble ministers are not allowed to do it, and now there is a criminal department Shangshu Wu Chenghei, shrewd and diligent, and repeatedly made miraculous achievements, it is ......"

As the backbone of the Wuhou party, Jia Chaoyin is a master of stinky feet, so he hurriedly grabbed it, took the lead in showing his attitude, and praised Wu Chenghe.

"Fart! Can Wu Chengsi be literate? Do I have to write the next edict myself, huh? ”

Gaozong already looked down on Wu Chenghei, and he was angry at this time, as soon as he heard Jia Chaoyin boasting about Wu Chenghei like this, he was furious, and he didn't care that Empress Wu was by his side, and before Jia Chaoyin finished speaking, he had already spoken rudely and scolded him fiercely.

"Your Majesty is angry, the old minister should die, the old minister should die."

Jia Chaoyin is not a capable person, the reason why he can be among the zaifu can be said to be a little bit of luck and the driving force behind the martial queen, as for the courage, since it is not at all, seeing that Gaozong is so frenzy, he panicked, knelt down in front of the hall, and was already trembling and forgiving.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Taizong once said, don't scold people with words, Jia Xiang is just talking about things, even if it is not in line with Your Majesty's wishes, but it is also out of the public heart, and I hope Your Majesty will be more considerate."

Jia Chaoyin is the right-hand man of Empress Wu, and he can't sit back and watch him be attacked by Gaozong like this, seeing that the situation is not right, Empress Wu immediately explained from the side.

"Humph! That's it, this proposal has to be mentioned again, step down! ”

Since Empress Wu had already opened his mouth, Gaozong was not good at asking Jia Chaoyin again, so he could only wave his hand impatiently, and while driving Jia Chaoyin away, he resolutely put an end to the possibility of Wu Chenghei taking office as the Zhongshu Order.

"Old Minister Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jia Chaoyin had already thought that he would not be able to escape the catastrophe, but when he saw that Gaozong did not attack him again, his heart was suddenly relieved, and he didn't care that his back was already sweaty and heavy, so he hurriedly thanked him, and retreated to the side in embarrassment, and no longer dared to have anything out of line with his words and deeds.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to recommend the Imperial Doctor Gao Zhizhou to take over the post of Zhongshu Ling, and also ask Your Majesty to judge!"

Originally, there were only two candidates who were reported, but now that Wu Chenghei has no hope, Li Zhen's heart is alive, but he blinked at Li Xianba vigorously, expecting Li Xianneng to stand up and shoot this first cannon, but unfortunately Li Xian didn't react much, the old god was sitting on the ground and didn't move, which made Li Zhen annoyed, but he was helpless, and after a little thought, the heart of power prevailed, which flashed out from the side and reported loudly.

"Well, I know the meaning of the starling, and the princes will discuss it."

Gaozong still respects Li Zhen's brother very much, although he is not too satisfied with Gao Zhizhou's candidate, but he did not scold back directly like Jia Chaoyin did before, but euphemistically expressed his disfavor to Gao Zhizhou.

Discuss? This matter is not easy to discuss, there is no doubt that Gaozong clearly disagrees with Li Zhen's recommendation, otherwise, it is enough to agree directly, at most it is to ask the big guy if he has any objections, but at the moment Gaozong does not express his position, but calls the big guy to discuss, this is not clearly to ask the big guy to come out and sing the opposite tune, the problem is that this counter tune is really not good to sing, and it doesn't matter if you offend Li Zhen in person, the key is that there is also a prince who is co-signed by Li Xian this time, before Li Xian did not express his position, who really dared to discuss the matter indiscriminately, Isn't that boring or what? So, no matter how eager Gaozong's gaze was, all the Zaifu pretended not to see it, and all stood still.

"Xian'er, you can tell me."

Gaozong waited for a long time, and when he saw that no one was willing to come out to be this wicked person, he couldn't help but get annoyed, but it was not good to attack everyone again, so he frowned and directly named Li Xian's name.

Hehe, the old man is not stupid, this is calculating us!

Although Gaozong's mind is hidden, Li Xian is very tight, and he just thinks that Li Xian raised Gao Zhizhou, just to pull Li Zhen to fight with Empress Wu, and now the candidate of Wu Chenghei has been vetoed, and the two sides should have no basis for cooperation.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, Erchen thinks that Gao Zhizhou is quite talented, and through government affairs, he is indeed a candidate for Zaifu, but there is a slight lack of writing, according to Erchen, if he is promoted to the three products of the Huangmen Shilang and Zhongshumen, he can participate in the deliberations of the political hall, as for the position of Zhongshu Ling, why do you need to give up the near and far, all the Zaifu are all people with both ability and political integrity, and the father can choose one at will."

The wicked can be a wicked person, but Li Xian doesn't want to really offend Li Zhen to death, after a few words, he deftly took himself out, not only taking care of Gaozong's intentions, but also did not completely wipe Li Zhen's face, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the knife cuts tofu on both sides, of course, Li Xian ignored the face of the martial queen.

"Well, Xian'er's words are very much in line with my heart, so it is decided, pass on my will, Jin Imperial Doctor Gao Zhizhou is the Yellow Gate Servant Lang and the three products under the Zhongshu Sect, and the remaining vacancies will be filled by Wu Chenghei, as for the position of Zhongshu Ling, I will see that Pei Yan will be in charge."

Gaozong was obviously very satisfied with Li Xian's compromise suggestion, but fearing that Empress Wu would intervene again, he hurriedly made a decision, and as soon as his voice fell, he already got up, and did not give everyone a chance to object.

"Your Majesty is sage, and the ministers obey the order."

Gaozong has already said so, even if all the ministers have objections, they can only hold back their own hearts, and at this time, in addition to bowing down and praising themselves, there is nothing to do......
