Chapter 610 Empress Wu's face, the barometer of the court

How can you shake the body of the tiger and release a momentum that others can't resist

According to Li Xian's years of observation, he finally came to a conclusion - the spirit of the king overlord exists, but this kind of king spirit needs to be cultivated for many years. For example, he Li Xian, who is just a little hairy child when he first arrives in your realm, no matter how much he wants to behave, he can't release any momentum. But after more than ten years of being in a high position and pampering the good days, there is always such a kind of atmosphere of a superior. However, if you want to talk about the spirit of the king, he is still some way from that standard.

However, there are people around him who possess this high standard. That person was none other than his supreme mother. When Empress Wu was still Zhaoyi, she dared to hide behind Li Zhi's background to guide the country, and now she has become the second holy day of the dynasty, and the power is not trivial, and the spirit of the king is shocking to everyone, and the number of officials who can resist is never too much. Even Shangguan Yi complained to Li Xian in private, and he, the chief prime minister, would be stunned when he saw Empress Wu angry.

Therefore, when Li Xian hurried to the Zichen Palace, what he heard was a roar coming from inside. The voice was not too loud, but it was strong in penetration, if it wasn't for his fixed mind, maybe he would have thought that his mother had cultivated some kind of lion's roaring magic skill. It's just that the maids and eunuchs who serve in this Zichen Hall are about used to it, and everyone bows their heads and doesn't say a word.

Di Renjie doesn't seem to have this kind of experience of meeting alone, can he handle it?

Li Xian had a huge question mark in his heart, but considering that his mother did not call him, it was definitely self-inflicted to appear at this time, so he intended to find a place to observe. He was about to find a suitable person to take him in, but he saw a curtain lift not far in front of him. But it was Ah Qian who flashed out.

The two looked at each other, and he immediately went up with a smile and said hello. Seeing that others turned a blind eye and did not hear it, he quietly told his intentions. As a result, Ah Qian raised her eyebrows, poked him lightly on the forehead while people were not noticing, and then pulled his sleeve and brought people in.

When he arrived at a no-man's land in the inner room, Ah Qian turned his head and complained: "Don't you know how to avoid it, is it difficult to publicize the fact that Di Renjie is your person to everyone?" ”

Li Xian still looked like a hippie smile: "Anyway, they are all people I recommend, and no one will believe them if they are cleared up." This Lao Di is a capable person, am I not afraid that he will scare the queen mother's majesty? ”

"Scared out of the ordinary? What a good way for this new squire. You're underestimating him too! Ah Qian sneered, and then pushed Li Xian to the corner door, and then lowered his voice again, "It's the first time I've seen someone so frank and unhurried under the questioning of His Majesty the Queen of Heaven, this Di Renjie is really a character!" ”

cough, if you are not a character, how can you be as prosperous as a tumbler in Wu Zhou in the future?

Thinking that he had just entered this Zichen Hall in the open, Ah Qian would definitely not dare to hide the matter of eavesdropping on himself, so he simply stood at the corner door blatantly, pricking up his ears while trying his best to distinguish the people in the hall with his eyes.

I saw that the martial queen phoenix above had a powerful look on her face. And Di Renjie at the bottom bowed his head with his hands down, although he couldn't see the slightest expression. But apparently, he didn't have much fear. Just this calmness is enough to prove that this Di Renjie is worthy of being a famous prime minister.

"Since you took over as the Imperial Servant, the Yulin Army has dispatched thousands of horsemen back and forth no less than a dozen times, but what is the final result, is it not in vain? rashly brought the three princes into the imperial history platform, and suddenly let all the people go, do you know this criticism from the DPRK and China? When King Yong recommended you in the past, he once said that you were stable and capable, and you were a great talent. But now that you have been in office for more than a month, several cases have been fruitless, but there is an increasingly fierce trend, how did you act as a servant! ”

If it's someone else. At this time, he must have been frightened and prostrate to plead guilty, but Di Renjie was originally a very assertive person, but he suddenly raised his head at this time. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, there are indeed a lot of things in Chang'an City recently, but the so-called low heat and slow simmering can get the best product, the more complicated the situation seems, the more you can't blindly use a quick knife to cut the mess." Although the minister had invited the three princes to come and ask questions, they were all courteous, and even the three princes themselves seemed to be quite happy about this experience. ”

This is the strangest point of the martial queen. The Tang Dynasty is still martial, and the prince often thinks very highly of himself, not to mention that he was invited to the Yushitai for a few days because he was involved in the case, and was asked a few words by a certain official, which often caused him to be furious, where is it like the situation of these three this time. Ji Wang Li Shen also forgot it, he was originally a good-tempered person; But what kind of goods is Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and what kind of goods is Wang Sujie?

So, her anger disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a scrutinizing look: "Di Qing's good ability, no wonder it can make King Yong's blue eyes add up." ”

Di Renjie still looked so tepid: "The minister is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, although he is recommended by King Yong, but he still acts with public heart." Three princes

Later, although there are many criticisms in the DPRK and China, they also have their effect, and the ministers have already solved the case If His Majesty can trust the ministers, please wait until the day of the New Year. If the case cannot be solved on the first day, the minister will resign and be willing to suffer the crime of incompetence. ”

The Empress Wu has read countless people in her life, and she can be regarded as having cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, but at this time, looking at Di Renjie, she feels more and more that she is separated by a layer of clouds and mist. Having said that, she is now more focused on the abdication announced by Li Zhi last time, and she really has no intention of investing too much energy in these miscellaneous matters. Therefore, after looking at Di Renjie for a while, she finally agreed to such a request.

As soon as Di Renjie withdrew after saluting, she walked down the steps, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a ghostly black shadow at the corner gate, and her brows immediately furrowed. Just as she was about to scold, her heart suddenly moved, and she quickly turned around.

When she got closer and saw that it was really the person she expected, she suddenly became angry, stretched out her arm and dragged the person out, and reprimanded her face: "How many times have I told you, but I like to play this kind of drama of listening to the corner!" Wouldn't it be a joke if I hadn't thought that there would be no one but you? ”

If I hadn't deliberately shown my form, your mother would have found me so easily?

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Xian still smiled and said, "The queen mother is aware of everything, isn't it determined that it is me before she comes up?" I just want to come to see the queen mother's power, who knows that this Di Renjie really has a set, and there are not many people who can be so calm under the anger of the queen mother. ”

"Oh, so you're here to show off your eyesight!"

Empress Wu sneered, and suddenly grabbed Li Xian's ear again, and only let go after twisting left and right. People say that a gentleman doesn't do anything, and in the past, if she punished someone else, she would have no chance to do it herself, but this law has been made again and again in Li Xian's son. At this time, after glaring at Li Xian viciously, she slowly returned to the desk in the center and sat down.

"Now that you've heard it all, how sure do you think he is?"

To such a question, Li Xian replied almost without thinking: "Ten percent." ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Wu couldn't help but show a trace of consternation. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't ask Li Xian how she had such confidence, but had a friendly consultation with her son about the current situation. said that it was a consultation, but in fact, she told Li Xian to listen, and occasionally the mother and son would talk again, and that's it.

The atmosphere slowly softened from the initial seriousness, especially when Empress Wu and Li Xian discussed Li Xian's marriage. Although Li Xian is not the eldest brother of the four sons and one daughter born to Empress Wu, in fact, he often plays the role of the eldest brother. Therefore, as he spoke, endless emotions arose in his heart.

Unknowingly, even Li Xian is going to marry a wife! Next is Li Xulun and Li Lingyue, life is really fucking fast!

And Empress Wu didn't notice Li Xian's absent-mindedness, and threw out another topic: "The old general Chen of the Yulin Army is already old, and he wrote to let Xian'er take over as the general, I think this is a good idea." Although Xian'er is playful, he has too few duties as a prince, so he is inevitably not like it. He may not be interested in taking over as a general, so your brother ......"

The rest of the words are not said, and Li Xian also knows the meaning of his words - it is nothing more than that since you are capable, then those who are capable work harder, so take care of them more! Of course, from another level, my mother still trusts his son, no, as the Royal Praetorian Guard, the Yulin Army has given it to him, which shows the "ardent hope"!

However, as if to comply with the law that if you give a sweet jujube you have to hit a stick, Empress Wu suddenly added: "Yulin Army Thousand Cavalry Guoyi Cheng Wuting is a talent, I plan to promote him to Zhonglang General, and still lead Qianqi Guoyi." With him on your side, you can rest easy. ”

Cheng Wuting, the sometimes iron-faced and sometimes accommodating guy, has finally been promoted! Li Xian made a sudden break in his heart, considering that it was indeed impossible for him to carry a part-time job on the left and a part-time job on his back, so he naturally would not raise any objections to this appointment. After giving power, it is necessary to divide power, which is a long-term management mechanism for his mother's employment.

"Xue Rengui is in charge of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in Liaodong, and other generals can't be placed too much, the Sheng Yunwen next to you was good before, and he was also a famous family in the past, I am ready to transfer him back to Jinwuwei, what do you think?"

Okay, of course, do you still need to ask this kind of question? Although he was overjoyed, Li Xian still thanked others for two sentences, nothing more than saying that he was promoted too quickly or something. So, when the friendly consultation with the Empress Wu was over, and he went out of the Zichen Hall to see the sunshine outside again, he only felt that the whole person was comfortable.

Mom's face is not only a barometer of the court, but also a barometer of the world!
