The fastest in the world is not a horse, nor the wind, but a rumor, and I don't know where to blow an evil wind, saying that it is the intention to let the prince supervise the country, in order to replace the Empress Wu's dynasty, the news has spread throughout the capital almost overnight, early in the morning the people and officials in the city are talking about this matter, the more rumors spread, the more versions, but no matter which version of the rumors, its tendency is extremely obvious, except for the party loyalty, the vast majority of people support the prince's rule, for a while, Li Xian's already high prestige suddenly raised the boss again, so that many courtiers who thought they were unstoppable were impatient to take the chapter of persuasion, and the government hall received nearly a hundred such folds, which made all the Zaifu who originally planned to discuss the matter busy and confused, and at the end of the day, they had to stop the rest of the matter and discuss the matter first.

"Princess, this matter has come to such a field, I'm afraid it won't be done if you don't hurry up and make a decision, I don't know if all the princes have any ideas?"

As the first and auxiliary minister, Pei Xingjian presided over the overall situation of this deliberation without giving up, first ordered the officials of the political hall to suspend the delivery of folds to the council hall, and then looked around at the colleagues who were seated in their respective seats, and opened his mouth in a heavy tone.

Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, facing Pei Xingjian's gaze, all the Zaifu in the hall bowed their heads and said nothing, just because the big guys knew that this matter was too important, once they stood on the wrong team, it was very likely that they would face the disaster of overturning the nest, and in the case of an unclear situation, it was better not to open their mouths as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble in vain, so the hall was so strangely quiet.

"Princess, no matter what, this matter must be presented by my political affairs hall first, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be able to be said in front of Your Majesty, and now the turmoil is big, if you don't calm down quickly, the court situation is afraid of chaos, how can you bear it?"

Seeing that the colleagues were silent for a long time, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he couldn't attack his colleagues, so he could only frown slightly and patiently persuade him.

"What the people want, what is there to discuss, according to the facts, it is in front of the emperor!"

Among the many Zaifu, although Hao Chujun is neutral on the surface, he is actually the one who supports Li Xian the most, and he is happy to see Li Xianneng in charge of the court.

"Hao Xiang's words are quite reasonable, Taizong once said: water will carry the boat, water will overturn the boat, the people's will is the general trend, and it cannot be violated!"

Dai Zhide was also inclined to Li Xian's Zaifu, and when he heard Hao Chujun's expression, he was happy to help him, and hurriedly echoed the words.

"Hao Xiang's words are bad, this is not the people's heart, but there are villains in it, the queen of heaven is entrusted by His Majesty, and she has worked hard to achieve peace in the world, which is a great merit of the world, how can you talk about it because of the nonsense of the children, ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

As soon as he saw that the two Zaifu had expressed their support for Li Xian, Jia Chaoyin, the martial queen's sworn friend, couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly jumped out and objected loudly.

"Where did the villain come from, does Jia Xiang have any evidence? If not, I am afraid that it is not what Zaifu should do? ”

As soon as he heard Jia Chaoyin's words be so ugly, Hao Chujunke, who had a tough personality, pulled down his face and reprimanded Jia Chaoyin unceremoniously.

"This matter should be thoroughly investigated to know the root cause, Jia thought that there must be something else in it!"

Although Jia Chaoyin ranked second to last in Zaifu, he relied on the full support of Empress Wu behind him, but he was not afraid of Hao Chujun in his heart, and he forced him back with his head high.

"Thorough investigation? What does Jia Xiang want? It is necessary to know that the prince is the prince, the foundation of the country, when His Majesty is slightly ill, it is natural for him to supervise the country, and today he is in the heart, and the subjects are all looking forward to it, but Jia Xiang wants to go against the general trend and act recklessly, what is the reason! ”

Hao Chujun has always looked down on Jia Chaoyin, a colleague who has no skills, and now seeing that he is making a big fallacy there, how can he give him a very good look, so he scolded him bluntly.

"The two of you don't have to be so excited, this matter must be discussed after all, according to Gao, whether it is the queen of heaven or the prince in charge of the country, it is a good thing, as for what to do, it is better to ask Your Majesty to adjudicate."

Hao Chujun's eloquence is much higher than Jia Chaoyin's, after a few rounds of competition, Jia Chaoyin can't say a complete sentence in a huff, seeing the overall situation, he wants to support Li Xian's slip away, but Gao Zhizhou, the last Zai Fu, suddenly appeared and started a round vaguely.

"It is true that Your Majesty is asking for a holy judgment, but we should always have a way to show it, Pei thinks that the people's hearts are inviolable, and those who move against the tide in vain have no reason to perish!"

Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan is the youngest among all the Zaifu, and his qualifications are also the shallower, but his status is not low, only ranked below Pei Xingjian, Hao Chujun and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, although he has not had much contact with Li Xian, in fact, he has no special friendship, but he has long been unaccustomed to the martial arts peony Si Chen, and he couldn't find the opportunity to step down after the martial arts before, but now he has the opportunity to borrow his strength, and he doesn't want to sit back and watch anymore, and besides, there are already Hao and Dai two Zaifu in front of him, and he is not afraid to express his position, didn't want Gao Zhizhou's plan to be realized, so he hurriedly stood up and clearly supported the opinions of Hao and Dai.

"Does His Royal Highness King Yue have any opinion on this?"

Pei Xingjian also supported Li Xian in his heart, but as the host of the discussion, he was not good at expressing his attitude casually, and at this time, when he saw that there were three people who supported Li Xian, he already had the bottom in his heart, but for the sake of prudence, he still consulted Li Zhen first.

"What the princes say is reasonable, however, the old man thinks that the queen of heaven is entrusted by His Majesty to take care of the court, how can the sacred heart be violated, and the young and old are orderly, although the prince's position is respected, filial piety must be kept after all? What does Pei Xiang think? ”

In the past, when Li Zhen was discussing matters in the political hall, she was either silent or following the crowd, and she never easily expressed her attitude towards something, but this time it was abnormal, and she clearly showed her attitude of supporting the military queen.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Yue is very kind, and filial piety should be the first in all things, how can we trap His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in injustice!"

As soon as Li Zhen expressed his attitude, the Zaifu were a little dizzy, and they really couldn't understand the purpose of Li Zhen's move, but Gao Zhizhou had already received Li Zhen's suggestion, and he was the first to come out and echo it.

"Good! His Royal Highness King Yue's eyes are like torches, and Jia is also impressed! ”

Jia Chaoyin did not receive the relevant instructions from the Empress Wu this time, nor did he know the overall arrangements of the Empress Wu, but from his own point of view, he desperately wanted to block the passage of the prince's imprisonment in the political hall.

"His Royal Highness King Yue's words are too far-fetched, please forgive Hao for not agreeing, it is a matter of national body, how to be filial! Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is old, Wen can be safe, Wu can set the country, has the atmosphere of a Ming monarch, plus the world is in the heart, what is the reason to entrust state affairs to others? Could it be that His Royal Highness the King Yue thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not virtuous, unknown, and can't care? ”

Although Hao Chujun was shocked by Li Zhen's sudden statement, he quickly came back to his senses, frowned, and unceremoniously issued a series of rhetorical questions one after another.

"Pei Xiang, what do you mean ......"

Hao Chujun is known for his eloquence, Li Zhen asked himself if he was not his opponent, and he did not intend to argue with him to the end, pretending not to hear Hao Chujun's rhetorical question, he arched his hand towards Pei Xingjian, who had a solemn face, and asked half of his words tentatively.

This damn old slippery head!

Seeing that Li Zhen did not respond to Hao Chujun's challenge, but asked for his own opinion, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but roll over a crooked feeling in his heart, and scolded secretly, but he didn't rush to speak, but frowned slightly, and his brain was running at high speed. The situation has become three votes to three, half for support and half against, which makes it difficult for Pei Xingjian to do, if it is other government affairs, Pei Xingjian can also postpone the processing, or the contradiction is handed over, but the main thing to discuss is who will be in charge of the government, the political hall does not come up with a statement, it is absolutely impossible, but this matter is too important, although Pei Xingjian's heart is towards Li Xian, but he does not dare to make a statement easily, in case something goes wrong, the consequences are not generally serious.

"Since the princes can't hold each other, why don't you take the folds of the ministers and workers and go to face the saints together, I think that with the wisdom of Your Majesty, I will make a decision."

Pei Xingjian thought about it for a while, but he still didn't dare to make a decision easily, and he faintly felt that there was something strange about the matter of the ministers this time, so he planned to have a contradiction in a cheeky manner, even if he was reprimanded by Gaozong for it, it was better than messing around with Shangtiao Chen and causing trouble.

"Good!"

"Yes!"

"Seconded!"

……

It was Pei Xingjian who said that he wanted to draw up a statement, and it was Pei Xingjian who said that he wanted to turn in the contradictions, and such inconsistent practices inevitably had the suspicion of slapping himself in the face, but all the Zaifu had no intention of making fun of Pei Xingjian's backsliding at this time, and they all agreed with Pei Xingjian's opinion.

"Well, then, I'll go and face the saint together."

Seeing that all his colleagues had no objection to this move, Pei Xingjian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly stood up, and after giving an order, he raised his feet and walked outside the hall......
