Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the middle of April of the first year of Qianfeng, the internal ban suddenly came out of the news, Gaozong is finally going to the court, this is the first time since Gaozong came to Luoyang in February last year, the ministers are all concerned, and what makes the ministers talk about it is - Li Xian, King of Lu, and Li Xian, King of Zhou, will also officially enter the court this time, the meaning of which is quite thought-provoking - after Gaozong returned to Beijing on March 18, although he had not been to the early court, but the holy decree was not less, not only Yan Liben, who had been demoted out of Beijing before, Liu Xiangdao has all recalled the Beijing Division, and they have all been further promoted - Liu Xiangdao Jin Officials Department Shangshu, Yan Liben Jin Household Department Shangshu, and the rest of the officials close to the prince have also been promoted, such as the original Ministry of Officials Shangshu Le Yanwei Jin Zhong Shusheren, and the governor (prime minister); At the same time, Gaozong also deliberately issued an edict that the prince continued to supervise the country, which was regarded as a precedent for the emperor to be in the court and the prince to be able to supervise the country, and for a time the power of the prince Li Hongzhi rose sharply, and the government affairs were almost from the hands of the prince, and the ministers had a vision of returning, but in this case, Gaozong suddenly issued an edict to the early dynasty, and ordered Lu and the king of Tuesday to enter the court to discuss politics. It's really hard not to make the ministers think of it.

Strange? What can be strange, others may be puzzled by Gaozong's move, but Li Xian, who has been the emperor, is very clear in his heart - to put it bluntly, it is worthless, this is just a check and balance, that's right, Gaozong wants to support the prince to suppress the expanding ambition of the martial queen, but he doesn't want to overkill, in case the prince's power rises sharply, there is also a change in Xuanwumen, then Gaozong is not even too late to cry, obviously, the necessary precautions are naturally indispensable, there is no doubt about it, Bringing the Li Xian brothers, who have never been very harmonious with the crown prince, into the court is the best means of prevention, of course, here must be the impetus of the Empress Wu.

The reason is very simple, as far as the Empress Wu is so good at playing power, it is impossible to sit and watch the prince become more and more powerful, if the prince really sits firmly in the country, then how can there be a stage for the Empress Wu to perform, no matter what, the Empress Wu has to find ways to create some problems for the prince, the problem is that Gaozong is resentful in his heart because of the tragic death of Mrs. Han and his mother, and it is impossible for the Empress Wu to come forward in person at this time, It's time for her Wu Meiniang to fully regain her authority, this is just a long-line fishing trick, it's really not unusual.

As the old saying goes: if you don't have enough strength, you should take advantage of the momentum to achieve it! Obviously, Li Xian's situation at this time is exactly like this - regardless of Gaozong and Empress Wu's fight, this time to enter the court, whether for Li Xian or Li Xian, is a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation, naturally not to be missed, in fact, Li Xian has already made full preparations, in order to wait for the arrival of this opportunity, and now, everything is ready to stop, the east wind has risen, it is time to ride the wind and waves!

Early dynasty, for the monarch and ministers, are not a relaxed and comfortable thing, not to say, the time is the opening of the dynasty, the time is almost to set off, getting up early is one thing, eating is a ** annoying, there is no other reason, an early dynasty often has to take two or three hours of time, if you encounter difficult things to discuss and not decide, then maybe you have to go to the afternoon, there is no "recess" opportunity in the middle, if it is a half-middle urgency, then the fun can be big, if you accidentally roll down on the spot, That's not a matter of making a fool of yourself, but a big sin of rudeness in front of the king, therefore, every time in the early dynasty, the courtiers can always not eat without eating, and the body really can't stand it, so try to eat dry, this is not a problem for Li Xian, who has long been accustomed to the early dynasty in the previous life, naturally not a problem, no, Li Xian got up early in the morning, finished practicing martial arts, hurriedly bathed and changed clothes, and did not use white porridge, so he ate two white pancakes and paddled his stomach, and then took a carriage to the imperial city.

Excited? There is one point, although it is not much, but after all, there are still there, you must know that this is the first time Li Xian has participated in the government in this life, it is impossible to say that it is naturally impossible not to be excited, besides, this court meeting is the first step of Li Xian's entire big plan, it is really not to be missed, a little worry is a natural thing, because of this, Li Xian's thoughts are also a little disordered along the way, but when the carriage stops, Li Xian is completely calm, Shi Shiran got off the carriage and looked at the small square in front of Chengtian Gate, I can't help but be slightly happy.

The sixth guy is really a good guy, yes, you don't need makeup to move on stage, you can play a little student! The first time Li Xian got out of the carriage, he saw that Li Xian, the king of Lu, was maneuvering around the ministers with a spring breeze, and the humility of the strong pretense was really some exaggerated elements of acting, and Li Xian was secretly amused, of course, happy to be happy, Li Xian would not save the etiquette that should be had, so he hurried to the center of the square.

"Your Highness, morning."

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Zhou."

……

As soon as the courtiers saw Li Xian's arrival, they stopped talking one after another, or greeted each other, or greeted each other, and the voices in the small square were particularly noisy for a while.

"All the princes are invited, Xiao Wang is one step late, Haihan, Haihan."

For the courtesy of the ministers, Li Xianzi didn't dare to hold it up, so he made a group of gestures, and said Haihan in his mouth, which was considered to be a half-salute, but he didn't stop at his feet, and walked to Li Xian's side, then he stopped, bowed slightly, and beckoned: "Sixth brother, it's early." ”

"Well, the seventh brother is here, okay, the spirit is good, come, stand brother, the court will start later." Seeing that Li Xian gave himself a gift, Li Xian nodded reservedly, which can be regarded as a return of the gift, and casually praised Li Xian, putting on a good attitude towards his brother.

Oh, this guy is a performance of love, enough to choke! Li Xian knew the significance of Li Xian's posture, and he was just announcing to the ministers that he Li Xian was the leader of the alliance of the two kings, of course, for Li Xian, it doesn't matter what impression he gives to others, as long as Li Xian doesn't come by temperament, as for how outsiders see who is the leader of the two kings, it doesn't matter, he won't care so much, so he responded with a smile, and stood by Li Xian's side with humility, but deliberately fell behind Li Xian by half a position, to highlight Li Xian's leadership position.

"Go up, go up!"

Li Xian's time was very accurate, and it didn't take long to get to the small square, that is, when he had just finished greeting Li Xian, the shouts in the palace had come out one after another, and the courtiers who were originally whispering privately did not dare to slack off, and quickly lined up according to the rank, led by the Li Xian brothers, followed by several prime ministers, and walked into the Chengtianmen, along the avenue in the palace, and hurriedly walked towards the Taiji Palace.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

The courtiers waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and the sharp and high-pitched shouts of the eunuch Gao Hesheng came from the apse, and then they saw that Gaozong's footsteps seemed to be a little staggering out of the apse, and the prince followed closely behind several small eunuchs.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When the ministers saw that Gaozong and the crown prince were coming, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they knelt on the ground and bowed to worship.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

Gaozong's mental state is not very good, his face is pale and haggard, and at first glance, a person who is less than forty looks like he is almost fifty, and as soon as he simply sits on the dragon bed, he can't help but gasp slightly, and his voice seems a little weak.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gaozong shouted, and a group of courtiers hurriedly shouted long live according to the old practice, and then each kowtowed, and stood in two columns according to the rank and civil and military ranks, and stood one by one with bated breath into a series of wood carved clay sculptures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have not been in the early dynasty since February last year, all government affairs depend on the help of the prince, and everything I am doing is very much in line with my wishes.

After the ministers stood still, Gaozong looked around at the ministers, and then stroked the long beard on his chest, first praised the prince Li Hong, and then changed the conversation, as if he had the intention of pro-government again, which made the ministers and workers can't help but put a question mark on Gaozong's previous praise of the prince Li Hong.

Poor brother prince, why don't you understand that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, the more capable you are, the easier it is for the old man to make a muttering in his heart, tsk, if you can deliberately make some irrelevant little forks and give the old man some chance to correct, isn't it okay, yes, this time it's okay, it's going to be mixed with sand, isn't it? Although Li Xian also stood solemnly like the ministers, in fact, the corner of his eyes never missed the change in the prince's expression, as Li Xian expected, as soon as Gaozong's words fell, Li Hong's face was a little gloomy, and Li Xian sighed in his heart.

"Father and Emperor, the son has this chapter here!"

In the silence of the group, he saw Li Xian striding into the hall, bowing down, and shouting a word, which made the eyes of all the people in the hall focus on Li Xian.

Oh, damn it, how can this bastard be so breathless! Li Xian was full of emotion before, and he didn't notice Li Xian's appearance, but when he found out, it was too late to stop it, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but curse secretly, but now, he couldn't help but scold secretly, but now, he couldn't help suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, and looked at Li Xian in the hall with an expressionless face, and his brain was running rapidly......
