Chapter 317: The Overall Situation is Initially Determined (II)

Gaozong was very angry, the consequences seemed to be very serious, the people in the hall were all silent, but they didn't even dare to take a casual breath of the atmosphere, for fear of accidentally provoking the anger of the Son of Heaven, especially Li Xian, who had just become ugly, was even more pale as paper, but Li Xian was calm and calm, as if he had never seen the old man's gloomy black face that could drip water. In the past, his handsome face was distorted and quite hideous, and the sweat on his forehead flowed like a waterfall, he really couldn't understand where Li Xian got such calm courage.

Scared? There is a little bit of it, but it is definitely not much, just because Li Xian has seen the helplessness behind Gaozong's anger, in fact, things are so far in the field, it can be said that they are completely following the route predetermined by Li Xian, everything is going smoothly, Li Xian has nothing to worry about, of course, the old man is so angry, after the discussion, Li Xianbao may not want to eat some heads, but, in this regard, Li Xian has already been psychologically prepared, and has a countermeasure, but he is not afraid of being hit by multiple boards, and he is very free, Just wait left and right.

"The ministers will knock to see Your Majesty, and they will see the queen."

It was agreed that the prince of the East Palace was a major event of the country, although Pei Xingjian and others did not participate in the trick of Li Xian's gathering of ministers, but they were always paying attention to the progress of the matter, and after receiving Gaozong's command, no one dared to slack off a little, and in just a quarter of an hour, Pei Xingjian and other important ministers went to the Qianyuan Palace.

"It's all gone."

Gaozong is not a character with a full personality, and after a little delay, the anger in his heart has already disappeared for the most part, although he has not completely calmed down, but in the end, he no longer has a tight face, this time he saw Pei Xingjian and others salute himself, he was not good at making everyone angry, sighed slightly, and some of them screamed abruptly.

"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Pei Xingjian and the others are all human spirits, and seeing that Gaozong's face is not very good-looking at this time, they can't help but muttering in their hearts, but the voice of the three shouts is not ambiguous at all, and it is really loud and tight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hong'er ......"

When Pei Xingjian and the others stood up, Gaozong looked around at everyone, bit his lower lip, and planned to mention the matter of the prince, but as soon as he talked about Li Hong's death, Gaozong's eyes immediately turned red, and he choked up and couldn't continue, obviously, it had been a month, and Gaozong couldn't let go of Li Hong's bizarre death.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the East Palace has been open for a long time and is not the blessing of the society, it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible, Zhu Aiqing may as well put it forward for discussion." Gaozong couldn't cry like this, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird, and when Empress Wu saw this, she had to fake a cough and interject from the side.

Discuss? Is this so negotiable? This is the prince of the council, a person who accidentally stands on the wrong team, the consequences are not as simple as dismissal, and he may have to be exterminated, not to mention that the two most promising princes in the East Palace are standing in this hall and watching, who dares to express his position easily - don't look at Li Xianqian leading the ministers to make a fuss to support Li Xian, but in the eyes of the important ministers, it is difficult to ensure that Li Xian is not playing a trick of retreating into advance, especially when the holy will is not clear, no one dares to make a big statement, so no matter how gentle the Empress Wu is, All the ministers took it as a deaf ear, everyone closed their mouths, and each of them put up wooden figures, and there was a dead silence in the hall.

Seeing that the big guys were silent, Li Xianke was anxious, and he couldn't wait to jump forward and come to a Mao Sui self-recommendation, but he didn't have the courage, besides, on such occasions, even if he dared to come forward and recommend himself, he might not be able to make things happen, but it would make the big guy look down on him, and in desperation, he had to turn his eyes to Li Xian for help, and he was counting on Li Xian to help him say something good.

This guy really can't hold his breath, it's just that, don't move anymore, I'm afraid this guy is going to do something stupid! Li Xian really didn't look down on Li Xian's anxious appearance, but he couldn't help it, seeing that Li Xian was so anxious that the green tendons on his forehead had burst out, Li Xian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and was about to come out to pick a head, but saw that Le Yanwei had already stood up first, so he had to stop.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Lu is both virtuous and capable, according to the order, and he is the eldest son, and he is the best candidate for the East Palace, and the minister implores His Majesty to make a holy judgment!"

Le Yanwei has been quietly observing Li Xian's brothers, seeing that Li Xian was forced by Li Xian's pleading gaze, it seemed that he was ready to force his head, and he couldn't help but worry that Li Xian's move would further anger Gaozong, so he immediately made a decision, stood up first, and reported loudly.

"Well, do you have any concerns about this?"

Gaozong was not too interested in Li Xian, but in front of the ministers, he couldn't say anything, so he could only speak quietly, and it was not appropriate to comment on Le Yanwei's suggestion.

The important ministers of the palace are all keen-minded people, even if Gaozong does not say it explicitly, the big guys can also hear the unfinished words behind these words, but they know that they know, and the ministers still do not intend to express their positions indiscriminately, after all, the meaning of the Empress Wu is not clear, if there is something wrong with the speech at this time, I am afraid that the two ends will not be pleased, and keeping silent has become a common choice for a group of people.

"Xian'er, do you have any disagreement with Lexiang's words?"

Gaozong's meaning is really too obvious, and it is naturally impossible for Empress Wu to really let Li Xian enter the East Palace, seeing that the ministers are silent, Empress Wu does not think that the matter is safe, so he rolled his eyes, and unceremoniously directly named Li Xian, what he wanted was for Li Xian to express his own position, so as to block the mouths of Gaozong and even the ministers.

Oh, this old thief doesn't forget to pit Lao Tzu at any time, it's really insidious! Li Xian's political skills are very clever, and he can see through the intentions of the Empress Wu at a glance, but he doesn't take it to heart, because Li Xian didn't plan to enter the East Palace at this time, and he was happy to push the boat down the river, so he came out of the queue proudly, bowed to Gaozong and Empress Wu, and said loudly: "After returning to his mother's words, Erchen thought that what Le Xiang said was very true, the sixth brother has both civil and military, both ability and political integrity, and he deserves the position of the East Palace. The queen mother made a decision early to calm the hearts of the subjects of the world! ”

"Well, Xian'er's words are very good, the ancients said: Brothers work together, their profits are gold, if the two brothers can join hands for the country, my mother and your father should be worry-free, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Empress Wu didn't want to see Li Xian in every possible way, and when she heard Li Xian say this, she immediately took advantage of the situation and affirmed, and then asked Gaozong pretendly.

"Well, do you have any doubts?"

Seeing that the matter was basically irretrievable, Gaozong was so disappointed in his heart that he couldn't do it, but he didn't dare to refute Empress Wu's opinion in public, so he had no choice but to speak vaguely, and even if he set his eyes on the brothers who were standing indifferently on the side, he was counting on Li Zhen and others to come forward to talk about it and see if the situation could change.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Lu really deserves the position of the East Palace, but when it comes to talent and merit, His Royal Highness seems to be better, of course, this is just the minister's foolish opinion, and please make a clear judgment."

Feeling the eyes of Gaozong's sweeping generals, all the kings immediately looked at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen did not shirk, strode to the palace, and admonished with a public heart.

"Brother Starling's words are quite reasonable, the establishment of the reserve is the foundation of the society, I dare not be cautious, what do you think Aiqing thinks of this?"

Seeing that King Yue really lived up to his expectations, Gaozong's heart became active again, and without waiting for the Empress Wu to express something, he immediately spoke a word of approval.

As soon as Gaozong's words came out, the ministers all saw it clearly, and they dared to love Gaozong and Empress Wu had a great difference in the matter of establishing the prince, and it was obvious that they were going to confront each other in court.

Old man, old man, we are going to be miserable by you! Li Xian didn't expect that Gaozong would not give up at this time, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, he didn't think that King Yue was really talking for himself, it was just burying nails - according to Li Zhen's meaning, Li Xian is more capable than Li Xian, if Li Xian is established, how should Li Xian, a more capable prince, be arranged? For the sake of the stability of the society, even if you don't cut it, I'm afraid you have to rush to the field far away, how can this be a good thing, the partial Gaozong just can't hear it, it really makes Li Xian's head big and young.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, the son thinks that the eighth uncle's words are wrong, not that the son is humble, if you talk about sweeping all sides, the sixth brother is not as good as the son, but when it comes to the old way of government affairs, although the son also has some confidence, but not as far as the sixth brother, the son is willing to fight for the father and the sixth brother in all directions, and level the world, if this wish is violated, heaven and earth will not allow!" Li Xian was already forced into a corner, so he had no choice but to come up with a gambling method and make an oath in court.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is filial piety, it is really commendable, if you can have a son, your majesty and the concubine are blessed, you can see Xian'er and Xian'er supporting each other, the concubine is ecstatic, this matter should be settled!" Empress Wu obviously didn't want to see things drag on endlessly, and she didn't wait for Gaozong to speak, she clapped her hands and praised Li Xian with a smile, and then made a decision in an unquestionable tone, without even a hint of asking Gaozong.

"Well, that's it."

Although Gaozong was dissatisfied, he didn't have the courage to turn his face with Empress Wu on the spot, and after a moment of uncertainty with his face cloudy, he still had to raise the white flag.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Now that Gaozong has opened Chrysostom, the courtiers are all relieved and praised, but it is difficult to say what everyone thinks in their hearts......
