Yan Li is not an ordinary minister, not to mention his identity as the leader, just his official title of right minister and servant, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the left minister and Zhongshu Ling Pei Xingjian can slightly suppress him, no one can compare with him, even if the other four prime ministers, whether it is prestige or authority, Yan Liben is a cut behind, as soon as he was taken down, the ministers were all shocked to the point that everyone was in danger, but they were reluctant to succumb to the obscene power of the martial queen, so, Silence in protest became the unanimous choice of the ministers, and for a time the hall was filled with a suffocating dead silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hong'er has always been kind-hearted, filial piety is commendable, unfortunately died early, the palace is really painful, His Majesty is sick in bed, the palace has no owner, but the aftermath is complicated, and can not be delayed, but also ask the princes to help the palace, don't give to Hong'er, the palace is here to thank the princes."

Empress Wu is worthy of being a chameleon-like political animal, when she dealt with Yan Liben before, she was still as violent as a storm, and in a blink of an eye, she was already in a pitiful state with tears rippling, pleading with great poignans, and she really seemed to be a mother with infinite grievances.

"Rest assured, the ministers should serve their lives, and they will never dare to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have half a point of condescension in the spirit of heaven."

"Niangniang has an order, and the ministers have nothing to do."

……

All the important ministers are not fools, and they will not be easily fooled by the Empress Wu, but Liu Yizhi, Ming Chongyan and other guys from the Empress Wu are jumping up and down to wave the flag and shout for the Empress Wu, but unfortunately the number of people is really too small, even if the noise is more energetic, it is just like that, compared to the silence of the ministers, it is not even a wave.

"Pei Aiqing, Hong'er is in Japan, every time I say that Aiqing is the mainstay of the court, Your Majesty often praises Aiqing's ability, now Hong'er passed away suddenly, not only His Majesty is grief-stricken, the palace is also in turmoil, Aiqing is the minister of the first assistant, please also support the court on behalf of the palace, and take care of all kinds of matters?"

The acting skills of the martial arts queen are really difficult to match in the world, after the poignant tricks, they are immediately sincere and unparalleled, and they are really like what they are, in Li Xian's view, such ability to be put into future generations, and it is as easy as playing with ten or eight "little golden men".

"The old minister will follow the decree of Niangniang, and ask the mother to explain the next charter first, and the old minister can handle it accordingly."

As early as when Gaozong just succeeded to the throne, Pei Xingjian was already a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Shangshu, and the reason why he was assigned to the Western Regions was all because of the Empress Wu, and he had never looked at the Empress Wu in his heart.

"This palace is already in turmoil, so I ask Pei Aiqing to watch it is done, and this palace believes that Pei Aiqing will never give in to Hong'er."

Empress Wu wiped her tears in a lonely manner, and seemed to have no assertiveness and pushed all the responsibilities and powers to Pei Xingjian.

"Yes, the old minister obeys."

As soon as he heard Empress Wu say this, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but have a big head - with Pei Xingjian's wisdom, he would never fail to see that the prince's death was strange, but since Empress Wu dared to hand over the prince's funeral, everything must have been arranged a long time ago, even if he went to investigate, he might not be able to find out the bottom line, besides, unless Gaozong agreed, otherwise, no one was qualified to investigate the case, and now Gaozong was sick in bed, this holy decree was obviously not obtained, so as to do so, The only person who presided over the prince's affairs was to help Empress Wu clean up the mess, and Pei Xingjian was reluctant to do such things, but unfortunately now, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only pinch his nose and accept it.

"Princes, the funeral should be called, and now all the princes are here, what is the plan for this, and let's talk about it."

Regardless of whether he is willing or not, Pei Xingjian did not dare to be ambiguous at all, and after receiving the decree, Pei Xingjian immediately entered the state, standing in the hall, facing the courtiers, and said in a solemn tone.

"What Pei Xiang said is very true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Japan, he will be generous, and he will be filial to His Majesty, and he can be described as a person with the utmost affection and sex, and he should be said to be 'pure'."

The face of the Empress Wu can not be given, Pei Xingjian's face still can't be brushed away, whether the courtiers want to or not, Pei Xingjian has already opened his mouth, and the voice of discussion immediately became loud, but it is a big matter, and the courtiers do not dare to express their position rashly, generally speaking, mainly in private, no one really stood up for a long time, and at the end, Le Yanwei really couldn't stand it anymore, and was the first to stand up and suggest loudly.

"Yes, the prince is benevolent and filial, in fact, he deserves the word 'pure'."

"It makes sense, Your Highness, pure people, the 'pure' of the scold, there should be no difference!"

"What Le Xiang said is very true, and the lower officials and others seconded it!"

……

Although the prince is a half-monarch, but at the end of the year failed to ascend the throne as the emperor, he can only be buried with a ceremony half a level higher than the prince.

"Although what Le Xiang said is reasonable, the lower officials think that although the word 'pure' is good, it is a minister's confession, which is not enough to show the respect of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the lower officials think that the word 'benevolence and filial piety' may be better."

In the praise of the faction, Ming Chongyan suddenly stood up from the side, and put forward an opposing opinion, on the surface, it seems that the prince is highly respected, but in fact, it is not, the name is precious, and the two words are a step worse, don't look at the word "benevolence and filial piety" is good, but compared to the word "pure", it is not old and young, and furthermore, this "benevolence and filial piety" is just to cover up the sharp contradiction between the prince and the martial queen, and it is just to smear the fat and whitewash for the martial queen.

"Doctor Ming's statement is a big mistake, 'benevolence and filial piety' is just the duty of a person, how can it be compared with the benevolence of His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive this official for not agreeing!"

Seeing that Ming Chongyan, the backbone of the rear party, was about to jump out, Le Yanwei's face immediately drooped, took out the frame of the prime minister of the dynasty, and unceremoniously reprimanded Ming Chongyan.

"Otherwise, the happiness is wrong, only the duty is rare, and I think that the word 'benevolence and filial piety' is good, why can't I say it." As soon as Le Yanwei's voice fell, Liu Yizhi immediately stood up and refuted, refusing to back down at all.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, ......"

Le Yanwei has been in the center for a long time, both in terms of seniority and official rank are far above Liu and Ming, and at this time he is full of grief and indignation because of the death of the prince.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Before Le Yanwei finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the apse, and the ministers and workers couldn't care about any more disputes, and they were busy with their own plastic surgery, waiting for Gaozong's arrival.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is important, you must not lose it, the concubine is incompetent, and he let His Majesty hold the illness to discuss the matter, and the concubine ......"

Gaozong arrived, but he didn't walk in by himself, but turned out of the apse by the soft chariot carried by four people, his face was as pale as paper, and he trembled from time to time, obviously the illness was not light, and the courtiers saw it, they were secretly sad, and they didn't dare to look more, and they paid their respects, and the queen of martial arts, who was sitting on the dragon bed, frowned inadvertently, and even covered up the past, hurriedly got up, met the front pier, and grabbed Gaozong's side. His eyes were red, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

"I'm fine, I can't die yet!"

Gaozong's complexion was not good, his temper was obviously too big to be old or young, and he didn't care how Empress Wu cried, he waved his hand impatiently, and after a word, he was supported by several small eunuchs and got off the soft chariot, swayed and walked up to the front pier, sat down heavily, raised his hand slightly panting, raised his hand to the ministers, and said in a hurried and hoarse tone: "All Aiqing are all flat, and then discuss, I just listen." ”

"Ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although the courtiers were not sure what Gaozong's intentions were, they all saw that Gaozong was obviously dissatisfied with Empress Wu, and Xie En's voice was naturally high.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and even a person who is affectionate and pure and filial, and his death is really the sorrow of my Tang Sheji, and the word 'pure' should be used as a word to show the benevolence of the prince, and I implore Your Majesty to make a clear decision."

Seeing that Gaozong didn't even look at Empress Wu since he entered the hall, he was obviously dissatisfied with Empress Wu, Le Yanwei was greatly encouraged, and immediately stood up for the first time and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think so, and please make a clear decision!"

Le Yanwei's words represented the hearts of many courtiers, and they stood up one after another, responding in unison, and the situation in the court was one-sided.

"I have always had expectations for Hong'er, and I also owe it to Hong'er's meritocracy, I can get some leisurely days, and now Hong'er is gone, how can I bend it, how can I be worthy of my Hong'er, I originally meant to pass on to Hong'er, but the day is not a holiday, Hong'er actually went, I feel distressed, if I can pass on Hong'er early, maybe Hong'er will not go so early, I am ashamed, I am ashamed, woo woo......"

The more Gao Zong spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end of the day, he was already crying with old tears, so panicked that all the courtiers were at a loss and didn't know what to say.

"I know that Hong'er has been in charge of state affairs all these years, and he is more like an emperor than me, I can't bend Hong'er, I have made up my mind, and Hong'er's nickname is 'Filial Piety to the Emperor'!" After Gaozong cried for a while, he suddenly slapped the dragon case and made a decision in an unquestionable tone......
