Chapter 113: Empress Wu Comes to the Dynasty (II)
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, the other way around, that is, the more you know, the deeper the fear in your heart, obviously, Li Xian's heart is full of fear at this time, of course, Li Xian's fear is not to stand up and talk, but to be afraid of the political skills of the martial arts - the court discussion, as the name suggests, is to have a controversial party is the court discussion, if it is one-sided, it is just a call, it is obvious, what the military queen wants is to preside over the court meeting that deserves its name, and this is why he is not in a hurry to pursue Liu Xiangdao's case, But he first figured out the root cause of so many incidents, whether it was the disaster relief in front of him or the imperial examination in the back, it was just focusing on the word "court discussion".
First, with the successful example of presiding over the court, the Empress Wu has the basis of the dynasty, and Gaozong's weak temperament is afraid that he will not be able to stop the requirements of the Empress Wu; Second, taking disaster relief as an example, the morale of the prince's party was first defeated, and in the next political struggle, the morale of the prince's party was frustrated, and it may be difficult for it to make great achievements; Third, the reason why Li Xian's nerves was stirred was not really to stuff those bullshit anthologies such as "Chen Rail" into the imperial examination, of course, if Li Xian didn't jump out, the Empress Wu would be happy to see it, after all, those bullshit anthologies were all signed by the Empress Wu, and if you can really use them to ** the world's scholars, the Empress Wu can also be very proud, but as far as Li Xian's character is concerned, he will definitely stand up against it, and this is obviously already expected by the Empress Wu, If Empress Wu makes some concessions in this matter, then in the matter of dealing with Liu Xiangdao, it is not good for Li Xian and others to make a fierce struggle, so that the joint force between the three princes will also be torn apart, and the final result will not be detailed.
The above-mentioned general manager Li Xian was not completely sure, but after the roll call of Empress Wu, Li Xian was already completely sure, but what if he knew? So far, even if Li Xian's intelligence is astonishing, but he can only cry out in vain, Li Xian has not had much hope for the result of this court discussion, but even so, in the face of the roll call of the Empress Wu, Li Xian still can't help but stand up and express his attitude, and the crookedness in his heart can be imagined.
Dr. Yuan put forward this request is also a good intention, basically to let the students through the ancient and modern, but the sons think that this move may be a little inappropriate, because the original four books and five classics have been enough to tens of thousands of words, even if the intelligent generation, without a ten or eight years of hard reading, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a small success, if the current text is required, I am afraid that the students will not be able to catch up, it is really contrary to the original intention of the court to recruit talents, therefore, The sons thought that this matter might be considered one or two more, and the sons of this son were shallow and looked forward to the queen mother's detailed investigation. ”
Li Xian did not launch a fierce attack on Yuan Wanqing, who had a long-term grudge, as soon as he came up, but euphemistically implicated the reason for not being able to implement it on the overwhelm of the students.
"Well, Xian'er's words are reasonable, this palace thinks so, this matter will be shelved first, and then discussed in the future, do the ministers still have any opinions on this?" Empress Wu put on an open face and praised Li Xian.
"Niangniang Shengming, the ministers have no objections."
Empress Wu said so, and it was inconvenient for the courtiers to come out and sing the opposite, otherwise, not only would they offend Empress Wu, but they would also offend Li Xian and the brothers to death, and the courtiers were not stupid.
"In addition to practicing martial arts, Xian'er can still know how to read and reason, and if he has a son, this palace is very comforting." The ministers expressed their attitudes, and when they were about to retreat, Empress Wu suddenly laughed, and then praised Li Xian, her face was full of unconcealed relief and appreciation, but she almost trembled under Li Xian's feet.
I'll fuck it, this old thief is so ruthless, and this is starting to sow discord, damn it! Li Xianduo is a shrewd individual, just as soon as he heard it, he knew what the intention of the Empress Wu was to say this, and the corner of his eyes quickly glanced at Li Xian on the side, and sure enough, he saw Li Xian's eyes showing a look of contemplation and suspicion, and his heart couldn't help jumping, and he scolded secretly, but his face was full of humble smiles, and he bowed down and replied: "The queen mother has a good reputation, and her sons practice martial arts every day, that is, they listen to Master Xixi's idle talk in their spare time, and they know a little bit of truth, and they really don't deserve to be praised by the queen mother like this." ”
"I don't have to be too humble like this, I can know books and reason in casual conversations, and it is really a big and difficult thing, and the ancient sages are better than this." Empress Wu did not stop because of Li Xian's thanks, and smiled and raised Li Xian to the same level as the ancient sages.
Killing, this is naked/naked/naked killing! You damn old thief, we'll see! Li Xian was extremely disgusted with Empress Wu, at this time, when he heard Empress Wu's words of killing, the anger in his heart surged upwards one after another, but at this moment, it was not a place where Li Xian could spread wild, and it was only wrong to say more, rather than entanglement with Empress Wu here, it was better to simply acquiesce to things, as for what others would think, Li Xian couldn't take care of it at this time, so he closed his mouth, bowed deeply, and retreated to the side wordlessly.
"Do you have any more chapters to play?"
Empress Wu obviously didn't expect Li Xian to deal with it like this, and a trace of essence flashed in her eyes, but she didn't embarrass Li Xian anymore, but smiled and looked around at the ministers in the palace, and asked lightly.
"Qi Niangniang, the old minister has this chapter here, the old minister wants to impeach Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the ministry, misbehaved, criticized the princes, and imposed his notoriety on His Royal Highness the King of Zhou. As soon as Empress Wu's words fell, Xu Jingzong, the attendant, stood out of the queue and accused Liu Xiangdao of his "crime" with righteous indignation.
Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, Xu Jingzong has finished speaking, but the hall is completely dead silent, for a time no one dared to stand up to refute Xu Jingzong's bullet seal, not only because of Xu Jingzong's notoriety, but also because the Empress Wu had praised Li Xianneng in court before and was comparable to the ancient sages, who dared to say that Xu Jingzong's impeachment was wrong, not to mention that Liu Xiangdao himself did not dare, even Li Hong, who was bent on competing with the Empress Wu and the party in the court, did not dare to come forward at this time, as for Li Xian, he didn't plan to get too involved in this matter, Naturally, he was happy to wait and see, and although Li Xian had a heart, he couldn't stand up either, he couldn't slap himself and say that what Liu Xiangdao said was reasonable, these masters didn't move, and the rest of the people didn't have the courage to talk nonsense, so the ministers of the palace were all dumbfounded.
"Where is Liu Xiangdao?"
Empress Wu deliberately waited for a long time, and when she saw that the courtiers were all out of life, she straightened her face and snorted coldly.
"The old minister is here."
Seeing that the situation was already bad, Liu Xiangdao felt sad in his heart, and after hearing the roll call, he had to stand up tremblingly and bow down in response.
"I'm asking you, but those rebellious words came from you, huh?" Empress Wu stared at Liu Xiangdao awe-inspiringly, silent for a while, until she saw that Liu Xiangdao's legs and feet trembled, and then Empress Wu asked in a cold voice.
"The old minister should die, the old minister lost his honor after drinking, and the old minister was ......confused" Liu Xiangdao was completely shocked by the aura of the martial queen, and when the martial queen asked, Liu Xiangdao couldn't support it, so he knelt on the ground in a panic, stammering and confessing his guilt.
"Confused? It's a fool.,Shouldn't this palace also cut off Er's skull in a daze.,Huh? No matter how pitifully Liu Xiangdao confessed his guilt, the Empress Wu did not have a trace of compassion, and asked coldly.
"Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry, the old minister is old and confused, and he is really unbearable, I implore Niangniang to see that the old minister has served in the court for many years, and the quasi-old minister begs to go into hiding." Liu Xiangdao was frightened by the words full of murderous intent of the Empress Wu, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged, poor Liu Xiangdao was already nearly seventy people, and under this fright, his whole face had wrinkled into a bitter melon.
"After enlightening the mother, the sons thought that Lord Liu was unintentional, although there was a crime, but it was not an unforgivable crime, and it should be a punishment of silver according to the rules, and I hope that the queen mother will learn from it." Seeing that Liu Xiangdao had completely collapsed, Li Hong could no longer sit still, so he hurriedly stood up, bowed to Empress Wu, and persuaded him euphemistically.
"The punishment of the fine? The prince is good-minded, you must know that Xian'er is your own brother, you say so, where do you want to put Xian'er, huh? Empress Wu raised her eyebrows, did not leave Li Hong with the slightest affection, and asked disdainfully in a cold voice.
"The queen mother is angry, the sons dare not misunderstand the law of the country because of family affection, there are rules in the court, the state has the law of the country, and the violator should be dealt with according to the law, otherwise, ......" Li Hong is not a person who can speak well, and when the Empress Wu said this, his face turned red, and in addition to embarrassment, he could only move out of the law and defend himself.
"Hmph, what a court law, does the prince want to say that the palace doesn't know the law?" Empress Wu didn't give Li Hong a chance to finish his words at all, waved her hand unceremoniously, interrupted Li Hong's words, and asked with extreme displeasure.
"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen ......"
Li Hong obviously didn't expect that Empress Wu would not give any affection, and he was completely dumbfounded, and the more anxious he was to explain, the more he didn't know how to say it, and he was in a hurry with sweat on his face surging like spring water......
