Chapter 721: It's All Acting (Part I)
Headache, Gaozong is really a headache, no matter who is playing behind the small action behind the scenes, the investigation can not be checked, even if the truth is found, it is all a smear of the face of the heavenly family, this Gaozong knows it in his heart, the problem is not thorough, how to give an explanation to the people of the world, after all, this matter is now a big fuss, the pressure is categorically uncontrollable, after all, it must be properly handled, the partial life is a "proper" word is not good, poor Gaozong is not a first-class person of wisdom, How could I think of a good way, I was so distressed that my forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"Xian'er keeps saying the word 'Saying', I think I must be confident, I might as well say it, so that your father and mother can refer to it together."
The things that the Empress Wu had planned for a long time were completely broken by Li Xian, which seemed to be normal on the surface, but in fact, he had long wanted to break Li Xian's body into thousands of pieces, and at this time, he saw that Gaozong was embarrassed, and Li Xian was idle like nothing, how could he still see it, so he made a fool of himself and kicked the problem back to Li Xian's feet.
"Well, Mei Niang is right, Xian'er has always been wise, and she must have a safe plan, so let's talk to me."
Gao Zongzheng was anxious, and after hearing Empress Wu's words, he relieved himself, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and climbed up very simply along the pole handed over by Empress Wu.
Hehe, this old thief is really worry-free!
Li Xian had long expected that the Empress Wu would come to such a hand, but he didn't care much, but he didn't plan to leak the bottom easily, but pretended to be embarrassed, frowned, and said with a bitter face: "Father and mother, this matter is not easy to investigate, but it can't be without an explanation, and it is difficult to do it." ”
"As the saying goes: the bell must be tied to the bell after all, and since this matter is because of Xian'er, then please ask Xian'er to serve his work."
The more embarrassed Li Xian was, the more the Empress Wu naturally refused to let him go, so he interjected a sentence from the side.
Hey, look at what this old thief said, she is really unforgiving, and her heart is really punishable!
Gaozong was anxious at this time, and he couldn't hear the subtext in the words of the Empress Wu, but he faintly felt that the taste of these words seemed to be wrong, but Li Xian saw through the careful thinking of the Empress Wu as soon as he heard it, it was nothing more than wanting to bury a thorn in Gaozong's heart, but he didn't care much, and said in a deep voice: "The queen mother's words are serious, the father and the queen mother have something, and the child should obey his work. ”
"Oh? Xian'er has some ideas, and let's listen to them. ”
As soon as he heard that Li Xian had an idea, Gao Zongke came to his senses, and hurriedly asked.
"Father, mother, mother, this matter is so turbulent, there must be a push behind the existence of a pusher, the fundamental purpose is to separate the family affection of my heavenly family, however, according to the child's point of view, the vast majority of the courtiers involved in the matter are not in this category, the heart is to hope that my Tang Dynasty can be eternal and prosperous, but the good intentions are maliciously used by the villain, which will have today's situation, therefore, the son thinks that the heart of the ministers should be the first priority, only in this way, can we keep the peace of my court, otherwise, everyone is in danger, and the court is afraid that there will be chaos."
As early as when he noticed that the wind of persuasion was blowing, Li Xian discussed the corresponding countermeasures with Zhang Khan Zhi, every detail has been repeatedly scrutinized, and he is not afraid of the difficulty of this problem, but before Li Xian explained the problem, he did not forget to counter the attack of the martial queen's verbal hints.
"Well, Xian'er's words are very reasonable, is it a matter of the court, or is it appropriate to be stable, but what should be the meaning of the word 'stable'?"
Gaozong is afraid of chaos, what he wants is stability, whether it is the Empress Wu overwhelmed Li Xian, or Li Xian overthrew the Empress Wu, it is not the situation that Gaozong wants to see, at this time, when he heard Li Xian clearly expressed his attitude of calming things down, his heart was satisfied, and the original trace of suspicion about Li Xian also dissipated, but he had some doubts about a series of words and deeds of the Empress Wu, but it was not much, only a thin trace, of course, under the consistent prestige of the Empress Wu, even if there were more doubts, Gaozong didn't have the courage to go to Empress Wu to investigate deeply, and it was only Gaozong's greatest concern to deal with this matter in a hurry.
"Father, the child has said before, to stabilize the situation, you must first settle the hearts of the ministers, if you want to do so, you have to first crack the evil thoughts of the black and then the black hand to divide my heavenly family, only in this way, can we solve this matter from the root, otherwise, sooner or later there will be turmoil, in view of this, the son implores the father and the queen mother to personally preside over the deliberations of the political hall, so, or can be unified understanding."
Gaozong wants to be stable, Li Xian does not hesitate to give him a stable illusion, and Li Xian does not want to follow the old path of Taizong, so he will not care about the gains and losses of the moment, not to mention that the gains and losses are just tricks on the surface, and the overall situation does not have much impact at all, just because Li Xian is now full-fledged, and already has the strength to compete with the Empress Wu in the dynasty, it is gratifying to be able to supervise the country, but it doesn't matter, everything can wait until the day of Gaozong's death and then settle the general account with the later party, and at this time make some concessions in face. What's the matter.
"Huh? Xian'er means ......"
Although Gaozong is not a wise man, but after all, he has been the emperor for many years, and there is still no shortage of basic political skills and common sense, Li Xian has already said it so clearly, he can naturally hear the intention of Li Xian's words, and his eyes immediately lit up, but he can't help but still have some doubts, just because of this, Li Xian seems to have to make a big sacrifice, at least in Gaozong's opinion, this price is not small, he has to worry about whether Li Xian will regret it, so he hesitated to test half of his words.
"Father and Emperor Mingjian, all the ministers in the political hall are exemplary ministers, if you want to calm the hearts of the ministers, you must first settle the ministers, and the father and the queen mother jointly preside over the deliberations of the political hall, which is enough to explain everything, and the child will beat the side drum on the side, and it is not difficult to decide on this matter."
Things have come to this point, Li Xian has no intention of playing the trick of forcing the palace, should he do it, Li Xian has done it thoroughly, although it is impossible to eliminate the hostility of the Empress Wu because of this, but he can successfully understand the suspicion in Gaozong's heart, so why not.
"Well, Xian'er Si is very serious, what does Mei Niang think?"
In Gaozong's view, if Li Xian can back down, it is not difficult to solve this matter, but he is worried that the Empress Wu will have a side mind, if the Empress Wu takes advantage of the situation to gain another inch, it will not make a big mess on the side, it is not a situation that Gaozong is happy to see, so he looked sideways at the expressionless Empress Wu, and tentatively asked for a word.
"Your Majesty is Shengming, the concubine has no objections, everything is subject to Your Majesty's holy judgment."
Empress Wu made such a big scene, and even did not hesitate to take the risk of being forced into the palace by Li Xian, what she wanted was not the result of such a turmoil ending without a problem, but it was a pity that the chess was a bad move, step by step, all of which were easily and inadvertently disintegrated by Li Xian, and now in such a field, she is also helpless, is she willing to object, but she can't find a suitable excuse, and at the same time she is worried that Li Xian has another ambush, agree, and contrary to her heart, the problem is that she can't find a better way to pit Li Xian at this time, Facing Gaozong's expectant gaze, Empress Wu had no other way to think about it except to agree.
"Well, that's it, it's decided, come on!"
Empress Wu's acting skills are very good, although there is all kinds of reluctance in her heart, but what she shows is 120,000 sincerity, as far as Gaozong's political ability is concerned, she can't see the subtle differences, but when Empress Wu also agrees with it in her heart, she will not hesitate anymore, so she raised her voice and drank a throat.
"The old slave is here!"
Cheng Denggao had just been reprimanded so much that he lost two souls, and when he heard Gaozong's summons at this moment, how could he dare to have the slightest delay, he rushed into the room almost like a rush, and hurriedly bowed down to answer.
"Go, prepare the soft chariots, I want to set up the political affairs hall!"
With a way to solve the turmoil, Gaozong's confidence was so sufficient that he completely forgot that he had not used his lunch, and made a decree in a hurry.
"No, the old slave obeys!"
As soon as he heard that Gaozong was going to the political affairs hall, instead of looking for his own fork, Cheng Denggao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly responded and ran out.
"Wait!"
Without waiting for Cheng Denggao to leave, Li Xian suddenly shouted from the side.
"Huh? Is there anything else going on with Xian'er? ”
Li Xian's shout came suddenly, and Gaozong's heart couldn't help but snort because of it, lest Li Xian change his hexagram, so he hurriedly asked.
"Father, you haven't eaten yet, and the Zaifu are obviously the same, it's not early at this hour, if you are too hungry, I'm afraid it's not good, the son thinks that you should ask the imperial dining room to prepare some meals in a hurry, and use them together in the political hall."
Li Xian is a meticulous person, when it is time to show filial piety, it is definitely not missed, facing Gaozong's puzzled eyes, Li Xian bowed respectfully, and replied with a concerned face.
"Well, okay, Xian'er's words are very meaningful, so I will do it!"
Li Xian didn't say it, Gaozong didn't feel hungry yet, and when he said this, Gaozong realized that he was already close to his back, and there was no reason to be inaccurate.
"No, the old slave will do it."
Since Gaozong had already spoken, Cheng Denggao did not dare to delay any longer, and after responding respectfully, he trotted out of the dormitory, commanding a group of eunuchs of all sizes to be busy, passing the meal of passing the meal, preparing the chariot, the huge Zichen Hall was suddenly busy, after a long period of Zhang Luo, everything was finally ready to stop, and Gaozong and other families of three took three soft chariots to the political hall of the front palace......
