After the vacation, when Li Zhi, who was radiant, came to the five-day court meeting again, he put the matter of building the Ming Hall out.

At this time, Li Xianqing, who was standing above, clearly saw that several prime ministers who had prepared in advance were still calm and steady, while others were in an uproar. It wasn't until there was a chamberlain Gao Xuan who was quiet that the hall gradually quieted down. Just looking at the faces with different expressions, Li Xian felt like watching a movie, and it was worth the ticket price.

Seeing the old Shangguan below glaring at him, Li Xian could only reply angrily with a helpless expression. He can be regarded as a good speaker, yesterday he admonished, sarcastic, and admonished...... The final result of reasoning with facts is that Daddy doesn't eat this set at all. Not only that, but Li Zhi also refuted it with eloquence.

"Do you think that I am not the emperor now, so you must not listen to what I mean?"

Listen, what are these words, what is this not called a curse? He had known for a long time that his father was capricious, but now he really understood it. This wife has been peaceful for more than a year, and my father has shown signs of loss, and now he finally can't help but start tossing. In other words, Li Zhi wanted to regain his prestige as the emperor and wanted his ministers to understand that he was still the master of the Tang Dynasty.

The question is, who is Daddy talking to? Li Hong, the emperor, is unlucky enough, and he doesn't seem to have any performance in fighting for power, right? Even if his mother is a little bit enthusiastic about power, she still puts her father in her eyes, which is not excessive!

At this moment, Li Zhi's impassioned speech suddenly sounded behind him: "I have mentioned the construction of the Ming Hall since the Xianqing period, and the Zhuqing Dynasty has advised on the grounds that the treasury has not yet been full, and I have listened to it. Now there is no war in Shengping in the four seas, although there is a famine in Guanzhong, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment with Henan's grain storage. Not to mention anything else, now the rice is only eight or nine dollars, although it is not as good as the rule of Zhenguan, but it is also a fact that the people are rich! Isn't it more expensive to build a Ming Hall than Daming Palace? ”

This finally gets to the point. At this time, Li Xian wanted to jump out and say bluntly. It's because Dad, since you ascended the throne, you have been repairing Luoyang Palace and Daming Palace, and you have spent too much money, so this Ming Hall can't be built. But his son had already been reprimanded yesterday, and if he raised the banner of opposition at this time, he would inevitably touch his nose again, so he could only look down.

The iron-faced Hao Chujun finally stepped forward with the hopes of countless people. The reason is nothing more than that the treasury is now only balancing, and if it is necessary to build a Ming Hall, it is necessary to increase taxes, which is not conducive to the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, and the emperor should be sympathetic to the people. As soon as he hit the head, he followed countless people, including almost two-thirds of the officials attending today's meeting. This reason, which is usually tried and tested, was given a cold reception this time. This also made the ministers feel. Li Zhi once again fell into the strange circle of unreasonableness.

"Okay, okay, it turns out that I once abdicated. This proposal has become inconsiderate of people's livelihood! ”

Seeing the angry Li Zhi brushing his sleeves away, everyone was stunned. Li Hong didn't say a word today, seconding the courtiers' opinions, it is estimated that his father will not be happy; If this is to support his father, he feels that it is really inappropriate. Li Xian said everything that should be said yesterday, and now he has nothing to say. Not only the two of them, but also the Empress Wu did not say a word for the first time. She was more confused in her heart than her two sons.

When he was in Jiucheng Palace, Li Zhi was clearly in a good mood, but when he returned, he suddenly mentioned Mingtang. She was indispensable, but she never wanted to be in such a fierce situation of opposition from her ministers. The husband refused to back down at all, and at the end of the day, he actually left such a thoughtless question.

What is going on with Emperor Li Zhi?

When the day of the great dynasty broke up unhappily, everyone had such questions in their hearts, especially the six-member group of the political affairs hall was even more heavy. As he walked, Shangguan Yi caught a glimpse of a figure dangling beside him. I don't know where the agility came from. He jumped up and grabbed the man's sleeve.

"Di Langzhong, you are now in charge of the treasury. If the Emperor Taishang insisted on building the Ming Hall, this treasury might be able to support it? ”

It is naturally called Di Renjie in Di Lang. Today in the court, he is not among the seconders. Facing the old official's scolding and the sharp eyes of the rest of the prime ministers, he sighed softly.

"The surplus of the national treasury in the past two years is only about 20 million yuan, which is equivalent to 20,000 yuan. This Mingtang costs billions, if it is built now, this treasury is afraid that it will not be enough. Guy Yin previously conquered Goguryeo, sealed Mount Tai, and repaired the Daming Palace, and many expenses were too great. It's just that the prime minister's advice today has gone a little too far, and the emperor's anger is difficult to say. ”

Referring to this kind of key issue, Hao Chujun suddenly thought that Di Renjie had no objection just now, and he couldn't help but have some opinions in his heart, so he said coldly at the moment: "Since I am the prime minister, even if it makes Your Majesty unhappy, I still have to say what I should say." You are Duzhilangzhong, and the state of the treasury is like this, and you should also let Your Majesty know! ”

Di Renjie did not panic about such a rebuke, arched his hand and said: "It is natural to advise, but have you ever put yourself in the position of the emperor?" The Emperor Taishang is now in his prime, although he is stubbornly ill, but he has not had a seizure for a long time, once he abdicated the emperor, and delegated power to His Majesty. ”

It's not that Shangguan Yi and the others haven't thought about this, but they haven't thought about it so deeply. Especially people like Pei Yan and Liu Zhi who are in the prime of life, they are even more caught in deep thinking. Di Renjie didn't bother the six prime ministers, said goodbye and left quietly. He didn't notice that Li Xian, who was not far from here, happened to take these words into his ears.

It seems that even Di Renjie has noticed this situation.

Li Xian sighed and looked up at the sky. The weather in this golden autumn is excellent, and the sky is as blue as a wash, and there is no trace of clouds. Occasionally, a handful of birds flew by, making melodious or unpleasant chirps. In the square in front of this Qianyuan Palace, although there are people from far and near, they can experience a lonely taste. Thinking that he felt this way, I was afraid that the three above him would feel the same way.

Here, Li Hong returned to the Huiyou Hall on the front foot, and there were officials on the back foot who asked to see him, which couldn't help but make a certain unworthy emperor stunned. The reason why he is not worthy of his name is not that the imperial power in his hands is not enough. Li Zhi only decides military affairs, but his body can't afford to work for four hours a day, so the only officials he meets are the prime minister and one Li Xian. The rest of the people knew about his condition and rarely bothered him.

In the face of this rare situation, he didn't know that most of the people were because of today's Dimingtang. Although he really wanted the chamberlain to go out and send the people away, he finally ordered to see them. However, it was this whim meeting that suddenly made a certain emperor fall into unprecedented confusion and confusion, and in the afternoon, it was unprecedented that he did not follow Sun Simiao's recuperation prescription.

Because of his distraction and the fact that he didn't want to face Shangguan Yi and the others, thinking that Empress Wu had already returned, and he didn't have to bury himself in the official pile every day, Li Xian simply didn't go back to the East Palace, and went directly to the heavenly street from the right door and went straight to his house. As soon as he entered the house, he learned from the gatekeeper that all his ladies had gone to the Cheng family's old house to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Forget it, no one cares, he won't worry about messy snacks and can sleep well.

"Close the door, no matter who it is!"

After saying this, he dragged his heavy steps straight to his lodgings, took off his coat and threw himself directly on the bed. It was about the time that he had been deprived of sleep and exerted himself these days, and it wasn't long before he let out a snoring sound. When the two maidservants who were tidying up the house came in and saw this scene, they immediately looked at each other, and then retreated silently.

This night's sleep was dark, and when he was dreaming, Li Xian suddenly felt that someone was tugging at his ear. This familiar action suddenly pulled him out of his sweet sleep, and patted it on that hand angrily: "I said ladies, don't make trouble, let me sleep a little longer, there will be no shop in this village!" ”

"I still think about your wife when I sleep, so that people should say something good about you!"

Hearing this voice, Li Xian reflexively jumped up all of a sudden, saw the figure in front of him clearly, he quickly rubbed his eyes, and then realized that he was not dreaming. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva hard, he felt more and more confused, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Queen Mother, why did you suddenly leave the palace?" ”

"Why, I can't come and see how you're doing?" Empress Wu sat on the couch for a long time, and saw that Li Xian was still at a loss, so she nodded and motioned for him to sit down, and then explained, "As early as your father proposed to go to Jiucheng Palace for summer vacation, I felt that something was wrong with him, and I really didn't feel at ease when I saw him like this at today's court meeting." Do you know that after he went back today, he locked himself in the Zhenguan Palace, and even if I went, he wouldn't see him. ”

Li Xian expected such a situation, so he didn't care about anything when he came back. Glancing at his mother's face, he was a little hesitant. Empress Wu made a special trip to his house, and she definitely didn't just say this. So, could it be that my mother has already dealt with this situation?

"What's the Queen's idea?"

"You first-class ghost has a lot of ideas, how can I come up with them?" Although Empress Wu glared at Li Xian angrily, the next moment she still spit out her lips lightly, and said lightly, "Your father is getting more and more difficult to coax now, this matter should not be too radical, it is better to agree to him first and let the craftsman survey it." It's just that if he does this again in the future, there is no way. ”

Li Xian understands the perfunctory truth of empty words, but what does it mean if it is not a method? Do you have to learn how to coax the old and the young, and spend precious time and energy on this every day? God, can you lower a character who can subdue his father!
