If you haven't experienced the pain of life and death, you won't know the difficulty of getting together, no matter what others think, Li Xian is not willing to relax in the slightest in the matter of engagement, as soon as he got the holy decree, he first went to thank Gaozong and Empress Wu, and then refused to stop for a moment and immediately rushed to the Ministry of Rites, almost forcing a group of officials of all sizes in the Ministry of Rites to turn up in a row, and the impatient appearance really made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dumbfounded, but Li Xian didn't care at all, in addition to the official duties that should be done every day, almost all of the time was soaked in the Ministry of Rites, but fortunately, the person who presided over the engagement ceremony was Lin Mingdu, a dedicated henchman, otherwise, I was afraid that I would really be annoyed by Li Xian.

Although it is just an engagement, but there are too many things, a trip to the end of the hand, Rao is Li Xian is strong and strong, but it is difficult to escape the tiredness of stinking to death, I don't see ordinary people to get married The procedures are cumbersome and tight, what is the bride price, worship Taishan's mother-in-law and other things are not easy work, not to mention that Li Xian's identity as a prince is there, the number of etiquette is so much that it scares people to death, and then there is, others are just a family, but Li Xian is two family affairs together, after running the Zhao family, he has to run the Lifan Pavilion, and he tossed it down several times, Poor Li Xian only has gasping for breath, let's just be in pain and happy.

Although the engagement is cumbersome, it can be regarded as coping with the past, everything is still very smooth, but it can be regarded as Li Xian's mind, the only regret is that the wedding date has to be scheduled until the ninth day of February of the following year, not that Li Xian does not want to get married early, nor is it that the Ministry of Rites is deliberately embarrassed, it is really that there is no good day for the prince to marry this year, even if Qin Tianjian and a group of people go through the yellow calendar, there is no helplessness, Li Xian is a little unhappy, but he can only go to the market with him.

Since the marriage will not be concluded for a while, Li Xian has no choice but to turn his mind back to official business, and hurriedly prepare for the martial arts, for a while he is busy connecting the various ministries and yamen, and for a while he is busy with the following local governments, but fortunately, Li Xian has stuffed a lot of manpower into various ministries a few years ago, and things are very easy to do, and he has hardly encountered any hurdles that cannot be passed, Li Xian has some leisure to watch the undercurrent in the court - after the court turmoil at the end of August, Gaozong did not embarrass the prince too much, only demoted the scapegoat servant Shi Xiaoming to Caizhou as the county lieutenant, but did not adjust the rest of the officials of the prince's line, and immediately issued an edict to recall Liu Renliang, an old minister who had returned to his hometown, to the court, and let him serve as the prince's concubine, thinking that he was the prince's teacher; At the beginning of October, Gaozong moved to the Jiucheng Palace on the outskirts of Luoyang, and issued an edict to accompany the political affairs hall, leaving the prince alone in the Luoyang Palace; At the end of October, Emperor Gojong issued a decree that the annotations to the political hall had been repeatedly omission and delayed, and the resolution was read and approved in person. Of course, the so-called political affairs hall has many omissions in fact is just a pretext, in fact, the person who has always really corrected the fold is the prince, Gaozong said so much, and then the right to approve the fold was withdrawn in his hands, so far, although the prince's officials are numerous, but the authority in his hands has been greatly reduced.

Gaozong's combination of punches will come down, it is really smooth, even if Li Xian, a master who is old in this way, can only give a thumbs up, and the voice is wonderful, but no, applaud, Li Xian did not plan to intervene in this change, not only did he watch coldly, but also pressed the eager Li Xiansheng down, the reason is very simple, Gaozong's series of measures to take power is beautiful, but his body may not be able to withstand the fatigue of daily criticism, and the big change may be in front of him, Li Xian had to stabilize his position as a contingency need.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the ninth day of the first month of the third year of Xianheng, and it is the time of the early dynasty, the ministers gathered in the small square outside the gate of heaven early, waiting for the beginning of the early dynasty, when the heavy snow stopped, the wind was very strong, the weather was cold, the square was full of the sound of the ministers stomping their feet to keep warm, and the noise was extraordinarily harsh, but somehow, the time of the early dynasty had passed, but they had never heard the sound of shouting the court that should have sounded in the palace gate, and the sound of the suspicious discussion in the small square gradually sounded.

"Seventh brother, the time has passed, whether this dynasty is still up or not, how can my father not even give an edict, just let the big guy do this and wait, it's a big deal."

Waiting and waiting, it was already four minutes in a blink of an eye, and it was already past the time of the early dynasty, Li Xian, who had always been anxious, was really impatient to wait, looked up at the sky, and then looked at Li Xian, who was not moving like a mountain, and couldn't help but complain.

"Sixth brother, just wait, my father may have something to delay."

The doubts in Li Xian's heart were a little stronger than Li Xian's, and there was a faint uneasy emotion surging in his heart, but under such a large public, Li Xian was very calm, and in the face of Li Xian's complaints, Li Xian just replied indifferently, with a calm and calm bearing.

"What is there to delay, is it not just a matter of a dictation? ......"Li Xian didn't have the same good temperament as Li Xian, he pouted reluctantly, muttered with displeasure on his face, and before he finished speaking, he saw that the gate of heaven was suddenly pushed open from the inside, Li Xian couldn't help but stop his mouth, and looked over with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty's dictation, proclaim that the Doctor Ming Chongyan will be seen immediately!"

As soon as the gate of heaven was opened, Gao Hesheng had already flashed out of the door with some impatience, and walked in front of the courtiers who were full of doubts in a few strides and preached loudly.

"Wechen obeys."

As soon as Gao Hesheng's voice fell, all the courtiers in the square were a little dumbfounded, and the audience was silent for a while, but Ming Chongyan rushed out and promised loudly.

"Doctor Ming, please come with a certain family, Your Majesty is waiting."

Gao Hesheng ignored the surprised gazes of the courtiers, beckoned to Ming Chongyan, turned around and was about to walk towards the palace.

"Gao Gonggong is slow."

Without waiting for Gao Hesheng to finish turning around, Yan Li had already stood up and shouted loudly.

"Does Yan Xiang have any advice? Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply from a certain family. ”

Although Gao Hesheng didn't dare to take a stand in front of Yan Liben, he obviously didn't want to talk to Yan Liben more, so he unceremoniously lifted Gaozong out.

"Father-in-law Gao, the time has passed, why hasn't Your Majesty been summoned yet, is it still up to this early dynasty?"

Yan Liben didn't eat Gao Hesheng at all, his face was flat, he took out the momentum of the prime minister of the dynasty, and asked in an awe-inspiring tone.

"Yan Xiang, forgive me, a certain family is not clear, please wait a little longer for Yan Xiang and the princes, Your Majesty will have a will."

Although Gao Hesheng didn't dare to answer Yan Liben's question, he obviously didn't want to explain the truth, but just said a perfunctory sentence without smiling, and then, he no longer gave Yan Liben a chance to speak, and as soon as he turned around, he hurried back to the palace gate.

"How can this be, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"

"yes, is this early morning still up?"

"Strange thing, what is the fake bull's nose doing when Ming Chongyan is summoned?"

……

The ministers didn't expect Gao Hesheng to run away in such a hurry, and they were all stunned for a while, and immediately, the voice of discussion became loud, and the sound of questions flew all over the sky.

"Seventh brother, do you see if it will be the body of the emperor......

Ming Chongyan's treatment of Gaozong is a secret in the palace, and it is rare for the ministers to know it, but Li Xian knows it.

"It's hard to say, just wait."

Li Xian could guess the thing Li Xian naturally thought of one step earlier, but he didn't want to say it, this time he saw that Li Xian's words were about to leak the emperor's secret in public without thinking, so he was startled and hurriedly interrupted Li Xian's words.

"Oh, well, let's wait."

Li Xian's words were cut off by Li Xianshengsheng, and he was a little unhappy, but he came to his senses in an instant, and his face twitched in embarrassment, and he stopped talking.

The old man's body should be out of condition, otherwise he would never go to the court but recruited Ming Chongyan so urgently, but I don't know what the condition is, if it is ......, well, it is unlikely, it stands to reason that the old man still has more than ten years to live, it should not be just over like this, the possibility of becoming ill from hard work is the greatest, if so, where will this court go? What tricks will the old thief play? Although Li Xian stopped Li Xian's nonsense, his own brain teaser turned rapidly, and he deduced the possible situations one by one, and the uneasiness in his heart was strong for a while, and he always felt that something big might happen.

Time passed minute by minute, the hour was over, the hour was already halfway through, the courtiers who had stood in the biting cold wind for nearly two hours were already physically exhausted, all of them were blue and purple, and if they lasted a little longer, they had to go back to a serious illness, but the palace was still dead and quiet, at this time, not to mention the impatience of the courtiers, even the calm Li Xian was also a little unable to hold his breath, looking at the slightly closed palace door, Li Xian had an urge to rush into the palace to find out, However, thinking about it, it is obvious that this cannot be done, and at this moment, Li Xian can only secretly pray that the worst situation will not happen.

"Look, Grandpa Gao is out again!"

Just when the courtiers were waiting anxiously, they saw Gao Hesheng leading several small eunuchs out of the half-closed gate of Zetian, and the sharp-eyed courtiers immediately shouted, and this time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and a large group of courtiers rushed over with a hula and surrounded Gao Hesheng and his party in the center......
