Chapter 53: Necessary Lessons (3)

On the third day of the fifth month of the second year of Linde, it was the Dragon Boat Festival to see the sky, and the heavy rain poured all night, until the day was almost dawn, and the party stopped a little, but the sky was still extremely gloomy, and the cloud layer was extremely low, which made people feel a kind of breathless depression at first sight, and it was really not a pleasant thing to rush in this weather, even if there was a carriage that could cover the rain that drifted down from time to time, but the wet and stuffy air was unavoidable, and it was not long on the road, and the clothes that had just been changed in the morning were so damp that they were sticking to the body, sticking to the body, sticky and uncomfortable, made Li Xian's boss uncomfortable, coupled with the concern about the court discussion that was going to be carried out for a while, his mood was quite irritable, that is, he endured it by relying on the kung fu of nourishing his qi, and finally waited until the carriage stopped, Li Xian almost ran away and hurried out of the car, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw countless eyes glaring at him, which made Li Xian stunned.

What's the matter, we're not wearing the wrong clothes, are we? Suddenly became the focus of the courtiers' attention, Rao is Li Xiancheng's mansion is deep, for a while, some people inevitably made a fuss, hesitated beside the carriage, and then slowly walked towards the courtiers, and quickly adjusted his mentality while walking, and when he got in front of the ministers, he was already full of the image of the spring breeze.

"See Your Highness."

Don't look at Li Xian is an idle prince, he doesn't have a trace of authority in his hands, but after all, the title of the prince is there, and he is the most noble lord in the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all exempt." Seeing that the ministers gave him a salute, Li Xian hurriedly returned the salute and replied with a smile.

"Why did Your Highness come?"

Without waiting for Li Xian to finish performing the routine of Corporal Lixian, the old prime minister Dai Zhide suddenly asked, his voice was flat, but the incomprehension and dislike inside were very strong - among the five prime ministers, Xu Jingzong and Xu Yushi both drove to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and now the officials in the court are headed by Dai Zhide, this old man has always been upright, and he never likes the princes to fight secretly, the words didn't save Li Xian any face.

Ah, this old man is really right, he asked so directly! Although he had long been familiar with Dai Zhide's temperament, Li Xian was still choked fiercely, and muttered a few words in his heart, but his face was full of respect, and he said with a smile: "Dai Xiang doesn't know, Xiao Wang received an order from the prince's brother yesterday to let Xiao Wang come to the East Palace this morning to meet him, and Xiao Wang doesn't know what happened." ”

"Hmm......"

Dai Zhide is an old eunuch, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Li Xian's words were not true or untrue, and his long eyebrows trembled, and he was just about to say more, but he saw Wang Dequan trotting out from the door of the East Palace, and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, announce the ministers and workers to show the deliberations of the palace!" ”

I've entered the palace, hurry up! Li Xian didn't want to be tortured by Dai Zhide in public, and when he heard the shouting of the court, he hurriedly smiled and made a group of gestures to the ministers, and dropped the sentence: "Princess, all invited, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait." As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for everyone to return the salute, and he had already slipped away.

"Xingzhi (Dai Zhide's word), why are you bothering, don't care, the gods fight, be careful of mortals suffering."

When Dai Zhide saw that Li Xian had slipped away like this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, shook his head, and muttered in a low voice, and that unhappy look fell into Hao Chujun's eyes, and couldn't help but make him secretly amused, so he came to his side and said with a smile.

"Hey, that's it, let's go to the palace."

Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun are both colleagues and friends, at this time listening to his words, although he did not agree with it, but he did not want to argue with him in public, so he sighed, raised his feet and walked towards the palace, he moved like this, and the rest of the courtiers all followed......

Li Hong is obviously very concerned about the things to be discussed today, he has arrived at the Xiande Hall early in the morning, and he wanders back and forth in the hall restlessly, and finally survives to the agreed time, and hurriedly asks Wang Dequan to pass on the ministers, and he himself sits on the big seat on the front pier, and when he is in a slight trance, he sees Li Xian sneaking in one by one, and his heart is happy, and when he opens his mouth to say hello, he sees that the ministers led by Dai Zhide have arrived, and he hurriedly swallows the words that have reached his mouth back into his stomach. just glanced at Li Xian quickly, and then sat upright, his waist straight, perhaps because of excitement, his always pale face actually showed a faint flush.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The ministers marched into the main hall, stood up according to the rank, and bowed down to see each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite."

Li Hong was eager to get to the point quickly, but the necessary etiquette was unavoidable, and in the face of the courtesy of the ministers, Li Hong could only force the deer jump in his heart, smiled and raised his hand, and said a cliché.

"Your Highness!"

All the ministers and workers are old eunuchs, and there will naturally be no mistakes in etiquette, and after thanking them, they each stood on both sides of the hall according to the rules, but they were bitter Li Xian, who was originally standing in the middle of the first place - no way, Li Xian really hasn't been to the court in his life, and there is naturally no place for him in this hall, so that Li Xian doesn't know which side to stand on.

"Come on, show His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Although Li Xian's behavior of looking in the hall is hidden, Li Hong, who is sitting on the front pier, can see it clearly, if it is in the past, Li Hong may sit and watch him make some jokes, but today is different, after all, he will have to rely on Li Xian to come forward to settle the ministers, naturally he can't embarrass Li Xian, in case Li Xian runs away in anger, then Li Hong's plan will be yellow, in view of this, Li Hong announced in a timely manner, which is considered to solve Li Xian's embarrassment.

"Brother Chen, thank you Brother Prince."

Naturally, no one wants to stand while sitting, of course Li Xian will not be polite to Li Hong, and after thanking him with a smile, he walked to the right hand side, sat on the brocade pier carried by several little eunuchs, and looked at the courtiers with a smile, but it was also very comfortable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I invite you to come, only to discuss one thing, a month ago, Shangguan Yi Boss was unfortunately robbed on the way to Aizhou, all over the house in the Li River, so far has not been able to recover the bones, its feelings are pitiful, lonely thinking and Shangguan Boss's past demeanor, really guilty, should be asked for a sacrifice for it, now the matter is not decided, lonely and anxious, I specially invite you to come to discuss, so as to be safe." After the ministers and workers stood up, Li Hongpo couldn't wait to open his mouth, and as soon as he spoke, he set the tone of the matter, although the volume was not too loud, but it was full of undoubted meaning.

"His Royal Highness wants to be very much, the minister is ashamed, the minister steals the post of Taichang Bo (another name for the Ministry of Rites), but he can't share the worries for His Highness, and he competes for a few days, and he is undecided, and the minister is ashamed of his love for His Highness, and the minister should ask for punishment." As soon as Li Hong's words fell, he saw Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, flashing out from the side with tacit understanding, and he confessed his mistakes one after another, his face was extremely painful, and he almost cried bitterly.

Tsk, the acting is good, it's good, it's good, Lao Liu Tou really has two brushes! Li Xian saw that Liu Xiangdao came out, and couldn't help but be happy, but it was not all because of watching the play, but more suddenly remembered one thing - when Li Yifu fell, Liu Xiangdao was one of the chief judges, this move deeply offended the Empress Wu, in the previous life, as soon as Shangguan Yi died, the Empress Wu immediately took Liu Xiangdao and kicked him to Shuozhou to the border, and he was not allowed to beg for old age, causing Liu Xiangdao to finally die in a foreign land, but now, Liu Xiangdao is still staying in the post of the Ministry of Rites. It can be seen that Li Xian's efforts in the past few days were not in vain, and it is worth rejoicing.

"Liu Shangshu doesn't have to be like this, Lone knows that Liu Aiqing has done his best, you must know that this matter involves the conclusion of the coffin, it is not negligent, and some disputes are also normal, but Lone steals thinks that there must be a result in the end, but I don't know if the Ministry of Rites has any regulations now?" Liu Xiangdao's acting skills are good, and Li Hong is also not bad, Liu Xiangdao is still blaming himself there, and Li Hong has already taken the mouth, and he has never left the slightest gap for others to interject, and the cooperation can be described as wonderful.

"If I go back to His Royal Highness, the old ministers and others have been thinking about it for several days, and they have already drafted it, and they plan to ask for it to be 'Mu', so as to show the merits of the life of the Shangguan Boss, or it may be appropriate." Liu Xiangdao has obviously rehearsed with Li Hong in private, so you and I sang "two people turn" happily, and after a few back and forth, there were signs that the controversial nickname had been finalized.

"Hmm, 'Mu'? I also think it's good, do you have different opinions? "Acting has to play the whole book, Li Hong is obviously familiar with the three flavors, he himself opened Chrysostom and said yes, the next sentence to ask the big guy if he has any different opinions is simply holding the identity of the prince of the prison country to put pressure on the ministers, just barely take a big stick, roar who dares to object, look at the fight!

It's true that the prince is a half-king, but it's not the emperor in the end, since ancient times, there are more deposed princes, and the courtiers in this hall are as clear as a mirror in their hearts, no matter how pious they are on the surface, they don't necessarily take the prince seriously in private, but Li Hong is different, just because he still has the word "prison country" on his head, this is a fatal title, after all, the county official is not as good as the current management, if he is hit by Li Hong's stick, I am afraid that I can't even find a place to complain, so so, The ministers in the hall all installed wooden figures, and the hall was eerily quiet.

"Your Highness, I think that the word 'Mu' still needs to be considered."

There are always people who are not afraid of authority, no, after a suffocating silence, a loud voice suddenly rang out, and the silence in the temple was shattered......
