"Your Highness."

Not long after Li Xian left, Yan and Liu walked out of the cubicle, and when they saw Li Hong, who was sitting behind a few sons, his face changed blue and red, obviously his inner thoughts and struggles were intense, and the two of them did not dare to disturb at will, so they could only wait silently aside, until Li Hong looked up, Yan and Liu hurriedly bowed down and called.

"Well, I've heard it, and I'll tell you what you think." Li Hong nodded indifferently and said in a flat tone.

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, this matter may not be as dangerous as His Royal Highness King Zhou said, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, the queen mother will reconcile the government on behalf of you, it seems to be reasonable, Your Majesty is just a small itch, it can be healed in a few days, there should be no danger of turning the world upside down, according to the old minister, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou's move to take advantage of the fire to rob the meaning is very strong, His Royal Highness should be cautious." Yan Liben is also extremely disgusted with the fact that the Empress Wu often interferes in court affairs, but in his heart he does not think that the Empress Wu can become a big climate, in his opinion, the Empress Wu is just relying on the trend of favoring the inner palace, although he can be proud for a while, but it is difficult to make great achievements after all, but Li Xian, the incomprehensible prince, is even more uneasy, this listening to Li Hong's observations, Yan Liben did not hide his opinion, and opened his mouth to analyze a large chase.

"Hmm." Li Hong didn't rush to express his position, but just said noncommittally, frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xiangdao, who was silent, and asked indifferently: "Does Liu Gong have any advice on this?" ”

"Your Highness, it's all the old ministers who deserve to die, and you've caused trouble for Your Highness......" Liu Xiangdao's body trembled, his waist instantly bent a little lower, and his mouth was full of useless nonsense, and Li Hong's brows immediately wrinkled a little deeper when he heard it.

"That's it, it's out, let's talk about what those laborers are doing, let's talk about it, how should Lone deal with this situation." Li Hong was in a bad mood, he was really impatient to listen to Liu Xiangdao's nonsense, and before he could finish speaking, he unceremoniously raised his hand, interrupted Liu Xiangdao's words, and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Royal Highness, the mistakes made by the old minister should be borne by yourself, and the old minister will resign from the book, and please ask His Royal Highness to fulfill it." Although Liu Xiangdao and Yan Liben are both important ministers of the prince's family, they are not the same thing, firstly, the time for them to take refuge in the prince is not long, and they dare not believe that Li Hong will die to protect himself, secondly, when he interrogated Li Yifu, he Liu Xiangdao was one of the chief judges, and he had already offended the Empress Wu, which fell back into the hands of the Empress Wu, and he thought that he could not escape the fate of being dismissed, and he really did not want to go to the court to suffer humiliation, so he bowed his head and replied.

"Brother Tongshou (Liu Xiangdao's word) can't give up on himself, according to Yan's view, things are still promising, and besides, even if Brother Tongshou resigns at this time, the queen can still gather the ministers in the name of agreeing on a replacement candidate, so that not only Brother Tongshou will be aggrieved in vain, but His Royal Highness will also fight with the villains in the court because of it, what is the benefit?" Without waiting for Li Hong to express his position, Yan Li had already interjected from the side, although he did not say it explicitly, but in fact, he made it clear that he was unwilling to cooperate with Li Xian.

"Well, what Yan Gong said is reasonable, fight or fight, how can Lone sit back and watch the villain run rampant like this, if things are not harmonious, Lone will go to ask his father to administer justice, and he must not let Liu Gong be aggrieved." Li Hong thought about it, and also felt that it was extremely inappropriate to give up Liu Xiangdao without fighting, not to mention that it would chill the hearts of his ministers, so he said that it would not be easy to control the official book in his hands again, Li Hong didn't believe that Li Xian would cooperate so honestly.

"Your Highness Shengming!" Yan Liben has always been fed up with the anger of the Empress Wu's party, and he has long wanted to compete with that group of shameless villains.

"Thank you for your kindness, but now the situation is strange and unclear, Your Highness still needs to take precautions, if the old minister is inevitable, I hope His Highness will make a decision as soon as possible." Liu Xiangdao was not as confident as Yan Liben, for fear that Li Hong would miss the overall situation because of his willfulness, so he had to remind him.

"Well, is Zhao Renben capable of doing it?" Li Hong's original intention was to take Li Xian's middle strategy, but it was not good to say it clearly in front of Liu Xiangdao, and now that Liu Xiangdao mentioned it himself, Li Hong also asked along the way.

"Zhao Shilang is old and serious, and he should be the best candidate."

Zhao Renben is currently the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is Liu Xiangdao's deputy, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

"Feasible."

Although the Shangshu of each ministry is at the same level, but in terms of the degree of prominence, the official department is the leader, Yan Liben originally planned to recommend himself, but unfortunately before he could say this meaning, Li Hong had already released his words, Yan Liben was not good to say more, and he could only echo it.

"Well, this matter is so decided, when the court has to discuss, it still needs to be done by all the publics, and they will be notified first, this battle does not want to go wrong!" Seeing that the two henchmen had no objections, Li Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said in a resolute tone.

"The ministers obey the order, Your Highness rest assured, the ministers and the thieves are incompatible!"

"The ministers are leaving."

Yan Liben expressed his attitude with confidence, while Liu Xiangdao just said his resignation, obviously not too optimistic about the battle of the court, but he didn't say anything more, and withdrew from the study with Yan Liben, and went to arrange for a group of courtiers close to the prince to prepare for the battle.

"Hey......"

After Yan and Liu retreated, Li Hong sat alone in silence for a long time, and then, with a long sigh, got up and walked out of the study, but his steps were obviously much dragging compared to the past, and his back was also a lot stiffer......

Penglai Palace, formerly known as Yong'an Palace, is located on the Longshou Plateau on the northeast side of Chang'an City, was built in Zhenguan eight years, it was originally the summer palace built by Li Shimin for the Emperor Li Yuan, that is, the palace for summer vacation, and the palace has not yet been built, the Emperor Li Yuan died of illness in Da'an Palace in May of the second year, and the construction of the summer palace was also stopped. Then in the first month of the ninth year of Zhenguan changed its name to Daming Palace, after the second year of Longshuo, Gaozong renamed this palace Penglai Palace, and greatly expanded, becoming a large palace more than twice as large as Taiji Palace, but where Gaozong was paralyzed, he hid in this palace to recuperate, especially the Penglai Hall adjacent to Penglai Pond is the palace where Gaozong most often stays, at this time, Gaozong is lying in a dense room in Penglai Palace, the hot day, still covered with a thick blanket, and a hot towel on his forehead, even so, Gaozong's body was still trembling enough, his face was as pale as paper, and he kept shouting cold, but on the other hand, he was sweating wildly, making the eunuchs and palace maids waiting on the side all messed up, wiping sweat and wiping sweat, and adding blankets were also busy.

"Stand down."

Just when a group of people were busy with their work, a dressed martial queen turned in from the screen at the door of the room, only raised her hand, followed by Yan Desheng, the eunuch in charge of the Yide Palace, immediately shouted knowingly, and the people who were busy working non-stop did not dare to slack off, and each bowed down to the promise, put down the work in his hand, and all withdrew from the room.

"Your Majesty, Xu Xiangyou has this chapter to impeach Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, to speak wildly, vainly commenting on the affairs of the princes, there is really a great crime of disrespect, the concubine heard about this matter, and felt that it was a major matter, and did not dare to be self-deprecating, so I hereby ask Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation." After everyone retreated, Empress Wu walked to the couch in a row, took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve, and gently wiped Gaozong's sweaty face while whispering.

"The queen is self, herself, acting, disposing of, and disposing of, and I can't manage so much, too much." Gaozong was uncomfortable at this moment, how could he have anything to worry about the things on the side, and replied with a trembling voice, his tone full of impatience.

"Your Majesty, the matter involves the court officials, if the concubine is easily disposed of, I'm afraid it's not good, can the court discuss it and then make a decision?" Empress Wu didn't care about Gaozong's impatience, wiped the sweat on Gaozong's head and face, and continued to ask a question unrelentingly.

"The queen looks at it, it is, yes, I don't have it, I don't have an opinion." Gaozong was already afraid of guilt, coupled with a headache, he really had no mental politics, and he didn't care what the Empress Wu said, he agreed to it.

"Even so, the concubine has no choice but to make it difficult, but if there is no will of His Majesty, the concubine does not seem to be able to discuss matters in court, and please ask Your Majesty to give the concubine an edict so that she can act cheaply." Empress Wu's voice became softer and softer, and she pleaded with a well-behaved look.

"Okay, good, good, I'll give, can't I give? The queen just has to go and find Xu Xiang's charter. Gaozong shouted angrily, but unexpectedly, he was angry, coughed desperately, and his face was instantly suffocated into purple.

"Someone, quickly, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"

When the holy decree of the Empress Wu arrived, I was happy at first, but then I saw that Gaozong was uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted loudly, and the eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside were all busy, and the old doctors with a group of white beards rushed into the room in a hurry, and they were busy working for Gaozong, and after a while of being busy, Gaozong finally came over, but the breath was urgent, and the heavy wheezing sound sounded like pulling bellows, I tossed for nearly half an hour, and then I fell asleep deeply.

"Wang Yizheng, how is Your Majesty's dragon body?"

Finally waited for Gaozong to sleep, and the Empress Wu was already tired and out of breath, but she couldn't take a breath, so she hurriedly summoned Yizheng Wang Qi to her side, and asked with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty is slightly ill, you can recover after a few more days of rest, the old ministers have prescribed medicine, please take a look." Wang Qi is an old imperial doctor, and he knows that Gaozong's disease is difficult to treat, it is an intermittent disease, and he always has an attack every once in a while, but in front of the Empress Wu, he didn't dare to say it openly, so he could only say it lightly.

"That's good, there is a lot of trouble with Dr. Lao, you must ensure that Your Majesty is healthy and healthy, and pass on the will of the palace, without the edict of the palace, no one must disturb the holy driver, do you remember it, huh?" As soon as Empress Wu heard that Gaozong's life was not in danger, her hanging heart immediately fell to the ground, and she didn't take the prescription in Wang Qi's hand, but put on a straight face and issued a ban.

"Slaves and maids will obey the queen's will."

Empress Wu is a character in the harem, she has opened her mouth, no one dares to disobey, although many people have doubts about this will in their hearts, but no one dares to stand up and say the word "no", can only be a brush to the promise......
