"Seventh brother, it's been so long, do you see if it will ......?"

The sign had already been handed into the palace, but everyone had been waiting outside the gate of heaven for more than half an hour, but they never saw Gaozong's will come out.

"It's hard to say, just wait."

It's really hard to say what the situation is in the palace, Rao is Li Xianzhi is a good person, and he doesn't dare to make an assertion easily, of course, how much can still be guessed, nine times out of ten it is the Empress Wu who stirs up the wind and rain in it - at present, nearly half of the courtiers gathered at the palace gate, in addition to the two princes of the prince and Li Xian, there are Yan, Le and Hao Chujun and Pei Xingjian, a total of four prime ministers, who rushed to hear the news, and it is strange not to be suspicious of Gaozong's cowardly temperament, which gives the Empress Wu the opportunity to say from the side, As for whether Gaozong would be impressed by Empress Wu's words, Li Xian really didn't have much certainty, and in the face of Li Hong's anxiety at this time, Li Xian really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only answer plainly.

"Well, that's fine, let's wait."

Finally seized such a good opportunity to sweep the Empress Wu and his party out of the house, Li Hong didn't want to miss it, the urgency in his heart can be described as monstrous, but he was in a hurry, Li Hong's mind was quite sober, and he didn't dare to move blindly, he still had the heart to encourage Li Xian to go out and make a fuss, but when he saw Li Xian's temperament, such a small calculation really couldn't be taken, so he had no choice but to sigh, and after answering casually, he frowned and waited down.

"Here we are."

"Look, it's coming, it's coming."

……

It was almost noon, and all the courtiers were sweating from the scorching sun, all of them were in pain, and they were anxious in their hearts, when they suddenly saw the eunuch Gao Hesheng leading two little eunuchs out of the gate of heaven, and the spirits of all the people were lifted, and even the prince and Li Xian, who were calm and abnormal, were secretly relieved.

"Your Majesty has a message, Xuanying King Li Xianqian Yuan Hall to meet you."

Gao Hesheng always smiled against the usual image, walked quickly in front of everyone with a straight face, did not greet everyone, and directly announced Gaozong's will.

"Sons obey orders!"

As soon as he heard such a will, Li Xian had already guessed what the meaning behind it was, but it was the Empress Wu who persuaded Gaozong, this was to fight with himself, the chief judge, in order to suppress the impact of the case to a minimum, but it was clear that at this moment, Li Xian could not resist the will, so he could only respectfully receive the will, and raised his feet to go to the palace gate.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Li Xian was leaving, the prince was in a hurry, stood up regardless of it, broke off a snort, and stopped in front of Li Xian, staring at Gao Hesheng with anger in his eyes, a faction of devouring evil.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are ......"

Gao Hesheng originally planned to leave as soon as he finished announcing the decree, not giving the ministers a chance to protest, but when he saw the prince's anger, his heart immediately became empty, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still forced himself to hold back a smile, and asked in a confused manner.

"Gonggong Gao invited, the palace and a group of ministers are here for Helan Min's case, it is almost noon, the sun is scorching, I am afraid of hurting my vitality for a long time, my father is a saint, I don't want to see this happen, and I also ask Gonggong Gao to tell the truth to my father, and ask my father to be more sympathetic to the difficulties of the ministers." Li Hong is not an ordinary person in the end, his anger is just to deter Gao Hesheng, and seeing that he has opened his mouth, Li Hong is not self-conscious, he quickly changed his smiling face, and gave a kind order, although his tone was flat, but he was undoubtedly resolute inside.

"This, this ......, it's okay, please wait a while for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the old slave will go back to Your Majesty."

As soon as he heard Li Hong say this, Gao Hesheng secretly complained in his heart, stammered a few times, and desperately looked at Li Xian, hoping that Li Xian could consciously enter the palace with him, but unfortunately Li Xian's eyes were lowered, and he didn't react at all, and he couldn't do anything when he saw it, Gao Hesheng had no choice but to drop the sentence with a strong smile, and hurriedly led a few little eunuchs back to the palace.

"Seventh brother, thank you."

Li Hong glared at Gao Hesheng's back hatefully, let out a sigh, glanced sideways at Li Xian, and seemed to thank him with a head and a tail.

"It doesn't matter."

Others don't know the meaning of Li Hong's words, but Li Xian knows it in his heart, but he doesn't talk to Li Hong more politely, after all, as soon as such a matter of leading orders and not complying with them comes out, Li Xian has to eat and hang, even if at this time when the crowd is excited, Gaozong is not good at taking Li Xian to punish him, but he may not be able to take the scene in the future It will be a big mistake for Li Xian, Li Xian can bear this kind of thing, and he deserves Li Hong's thanks, of course, this is also because Li Xian's original intention is to take this opportunity to defeat the Wuhou party, which is considered to have a common goal with Li Hong, otherwise, Li Xian didn't have the interest to stick a knife in Li Hong's ribs.

"How? What about the Xian'er people, huh? ”

In the dormitory of the Qianyuan Palace, a dressed Wu Houwei sat on the couch, and Gaozong paced back and forth in front of the couch with a heavy heart, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, Gaozong immediately looked over reflexively, and when he saw that only Gao Hesheng was coming, Gaozong's face suddenly drooped a little, and he snorted coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has already pronounced an edict, but, it's just ......"

Seeing that Gao Zong's face was not good, Gao Hesheng not only did not panic in his heart, but had a hint of joy, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, quickly exchanged glances with Empress Wu, hurriedly rushed to the front, made a look of embarrassment, and stammered out half of the words.

"It's just a very, say, you made it clear to me, say it quickly!"

Gaozong slept lazily today, the mood was originally good, after the "breakfast", he was going to go to the imperial garden to cool off, but he didn't expect to leave yet, he heard that the prince and Li Xian led a large group of courtiers to block the door, and he didn't care much, but he didn't expect the queen to follow, saying that the prince led the ministers to force the palace, and the mood was extremely bad. That is, Empress Wu gently persuaded for a long time, before he extinguished some of the fire, and Gao Zong, who did not want to see the division of the court, accepted Empress Wu's proposal and planned to call Li Xian alone, so as to reduce the impact of this matter to an acceptable level, but he never expected that Li Xian would dare to disobey the order, and the anger in his heart was bursting, and he almost yelled and asked.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, it's not that the old slave doesn't care, it's really His Royal Highness the Prince, ah, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that all the ministers and workers are here for Wu Min's case, and they should see together to distinguish right from wrong, the old slave doesn't dare to persuade him, and he asks His Majesty to make a clear decision." Gao Hesheng was originally a confidant of the Empress Wu, so he naturally would not cover for Li Hong, so he replied in a panicked manner, although there was nothing to add fuel and vinegar, but it was clearly taken out of context.

"Huh? Hum! Waste, it's all waste! ”

Although Li Hong's words are extremely unpleasant, they are true, Gaozong is not a mediocre person, he knows this principle, and he has nowhere to spill his anger, so he can only flick his big sleeves angrily, scold hatefully, and pacing back and forth in front of the couch anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it's almost noon, the sun is very strong, it's not appropriate to let the courtiers wait and be afraid, according to the concubines, please invite the prince and Xian'er to come together, as for the rest of the ministers, you might as well disperse first, the day after tomorrow is the early dynasty, and if there is something to do early, the court will discuss it soon." Seeing that Gaozong was obviously out of proportion, Empress Wu's brows wrinkled slightly at first, but she quickly stretched, got up, walked to Gaozong's side, and persuaded gently.

"Well, that's fine." Gao Zong was originally a person who did not have much opinion, and what he said after hearing Wu Hou seemed to be quite reasonable, so he immediately agreed, glanced at Gao Hesheng sideways, waved his sleeves, and shouted angrily: "I am stunned, I don't want to announce the decree quickly, I really don't have any eyesight!" ”

"The slave and the maid obey the order, and the slave and the maid will do it."

As soon as he heard Gaozong say this, Gao Hesheng didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly answered, turned around and ran towards the palace gate.

"Your Majesty has a decree: His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and His Royal Highness King Qianyuan will meet you, and the rest of the ministers will return to their duties first, and then discuss it the day after the day, and then discuss it!" Gao Hesheng trotted out of Zetianmen all the way, and he didn't even have time to breathe, so he hurriedly pronounced Gaozong's message.

"Ministers and ministers are grateful."

As soon as they saw Gao Hesheng's formal edict, the ministers were dissatisfied with it in their hearts, but they could only lead to the edict in advance.

"Father-in-law Gao, this official has something important to do to meet Your Majesty, and please give a voice on your behalf."

Everyone thanked Fang Fang, and Yan Liben had already taken the lead in standing up, taking out the right minister's shelf, and opening his mouth in an unquestionable tone.

"Father-in-law Gao, this official also has important things to do, and it is urgent!"

"I have something important to play, and I ask Gonggong Gao to do it on my behalf!"

……

Yan Liben's words were the signal, Le Yanwei and other courtiers all followed suit, the scene was chaotic for a while, and under the excitement of the crowd, Gao Hesheng's face turned a little green with fright.

"Seventh brother, what do you think should happen in this matter?"

Li Hong did not follow the coaxing, but looked at Li Xian sideways, and inquired in a low voice.

What should I do? To be honest, before Gao Hesheng announced his decree, Li Xian had already calculated that there might be such a scene, and he also repeatedly deduced various possible results in his heart, but he never dared to come to a conclusion - the group of people forcing the palace can undoubtedly maximize the benefits, but in this way, it will inevitably arouse Gaozong's suspicion, which can be said to have gained a lot and has many troubles; If you go to see the driver alone, it is difficult to finish the palace in one battle, fight the tiger without dying, I am afraid of being injured by the tiger, and it is also an endless trouble, it is obviously not easy to achieve a balance, and it will be difficult for Li Xian to make a conclusive decision for a while......
