June 15 of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Taiji Palace, Taiji Palace.

Inviting the sun and the moon is the most kingly weather.

Accepting the stars, there is a hidden wind and clouds.

Li Zhigao sat on the top of the main hall, listening to His Royal Highness's ministers enter the table as usual, and narrating the state affairs that were almost the same as in the past-only, the names of people, things, and places were changed.

He suddenly felt a little tired.

I'm tired of this repetition day after day, tired of being the same year after year.

He closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead with a bit of a headache—waving his hand to interrupt the impulse of the household servant who was babbling on the income from the treasury and taxes.

There was only the voice of the young squire in the hall, and he was frustrated, but ......

It is also extremely hypnotic.

There were even a few elderly ministers, although they were holding Yugui in their arms, their eyes were already drooping, and they looked drowsy.

……

…………

………………

All of a sudden, really all of a sudden!

Three long shouts from far and near, from the level, with unexpected and vibrating long shouts, broke the peace of the entire hall, and also tore the peace on the faces of hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Report ——! The queen begs to see you! ”

"Report ——! The queen begged to see her!! ”

"Report ——! The queen begged to see her!! ”

The voice followed the leader of the Jinwuwei with the golden axe in his hand, all the way in, like a bolt of lightning, lighting up the expressions of everyone in the entire hall.

Silence, first silence.

The people standing in the whole hall—all the men—were a little dazed at first.

They didn't seem to understand what Jin Wuwei, who was so nervous that he almost rolled on the red carpet to get in, was saying.

Even Li Zhi himself was quite surprised. He raised his eyebrows, looked at that Jin Wuwei with some surprise, and asked for a long time: "What?" ”

The Jin Wuwei ran to him panting, but before such a question, he opened his mouth for a long time in a daze, and then crossed his hands and saluted: "Return...... Back to Your Majesty! Empress...... The queen mother, I beg to go to the palace to see the driver! ”

Silent.

But only for a moment.

Immediately, there was a commotion, and the entire hall exploded!

The sound of heated discussions almost lifted the entire roof of the temple!

"Ridiculous! Outrageous?! ”

"The queen is very rude this time, Your Majesty! Since ancient times, on top of this golden palace, in addition to the sealing of the concubine ceremony, where is the place where women can easily set foot in! ”

"Please Your Majesty immediately reprimand the queen mother!"

"Please reprimand the Empress immediately!!"

"Please Your Majesty immediately reprimanded the queen!!"

Li Zhi looked at the angry faces, and was a little confused for a while-

He couldn't understand why these people were so indignant. Everyone...... Everyone was angry, frightened, and incredible......

It's as if his Mei Niang has done something very wrong.

Isn't it just to go up to the temple and see yourself? What's so wrong?

Li Zhi looked at those ministers in wonder, turned his head and looked for a few familiar faces everywhere, habitually wanting to see some different looks on those faces that he was most familiar with.

To his surprise, he didn't mention the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji. Even Wei Zhiqi, Di Renjie, and even Xu Jingzong, who always acted like he was obedient to the emperor's orders......

It's all dissatisfied.

He raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing something.

By the way, this is the Golden Palace, the Taiji Palace.

The entire Tang Empire, his grandfather, his father, all his uncles, royal brothers, and brothers...... Everyone, every boy surnamed Li, abandoned everything for the Taiji Palace.

This is the Tang Dynasty......

No, this is the first hall in the whole sea, the golden palace of a hundred countries, and the palace of the king that all nations look up to.

So......

Probably they don't like it, and they absolutely can't allow it, to see a woman walk up to this hall and step on the red carpet when they don't allow it?

blinked clearly, his eyes fell on the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, and then, his eyes widened-

Unlike the others, the expressions of these two people were not surprised at all. Even the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji was almost cold.

Although Li Ji was not as cold as him, his expression was not surprising. There are even some expected looks, which exist in the bottom of the eyes.

Li Zhi didn't say anything, lowered his eyes, and thought about his own thoughts.

Normally, when he was like this, the entire hall would only make noise for a moment at most, and then it would immediately return to quiet. Today is different, the more silent he is, the more commotion will be in the whole hall.

But......

The more they made a fuss, the calmer Li Zhi's heart became, and even a little joy and pride. Such joy and pride were even obvious to the side of Qinghe, who was sweating profusely from being shocked by such a formation.

"Master ......"

Qinghe swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but saw Li Zhi slowly, got up, and put his hands behind him.

In an instant, it seemed that a majestic mountain stood up, and the men in the entire hall all closed their mouths, turned their heads one by one, looked at the emperor, and then crossed their hands, saluted, and sang in a dull voice.

"Your Majesty forgives ——! sins"

Li Zhi did not speak. He just calmly looked at all the people in the entire Great Highness, and then, suddenly, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since the queen has entered with courtesy, it is to meet with courtesy." According to the system, quasi! Empress Xuan goes to the palace! ”

There was an uproar, and all the civil and military forces, led by the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, knelt down in unison:

"Your Majesty——!"

Everyone's face showed pleading. This time, the expressions of the company commander Sun Wuji and Li Ji were finally shaken!

But Li Zhi didn't pay attention to it, just raised his eyebrows, looked at them, and smiled lightly: "Zhu Qing thinks that my decree is rude? The queen entered with a faux pas? All right...... Where is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites? Since he is a ceremonial official, he naturally knows etiquette in detail. You will tell me, the mother of the Tang Dynasty, after a country, what is the rudeness of entering the country? What's the faux pas? ”

Two light questions, but they asked the dumb waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and also asked all the people in the entire Great Highness - all the men.

Everyone was stunned - even the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji were also stunned.

They couldn't answer.

Because of the Tang Dynasty ritual system, or the earlier and higher ritual system, there is no clear statement that the mother of a country, after a country, Huai Feng gave Yugui to enter the palace with courtesy, what is wrong, what is rude.

Even......

In their opinion, there was such a thing before, or there was also a thing. It's just that they don't know and they're not sure. And because they don't know the certainty, they can't refute it.

There is no way to stop it -

Stop the woman who was dressed in a gold-embroidered vermilion flying phoenix robe, a phoenix crown on her head, a dragon and phoenix belt tied around her waist, and a mountain wind and cloud pattern embroidered on her shoulders, with her two beautiful female officials, holding a cyan embroidered gold queen phoenix watch in her left hand, and holding the sun, moon and stars in her right hand, and striding into the hall solemnly and elegantly.

Step by step, she walked extremely fast.

Go over everyone, and put every pair of resentment, horror, doubt, anger, insecurity, and suspicion...... The gaze, which contains all kinds of emotions, is firmly stepped on the feet and on the ground.

She walked up to the man who was standing behind the treasure case and looked at her with a smile.

This time, she came on her own, no one forced her, and no one designed her.

She came on her own, she wanted to come on her own.

Therefore, the resentment, fear, suspicion, anger, anxiety, and suspicion of these people are useless.

Because they can't stop it, they can't stop it, they can't stop her!

——

Mei Niang had already expected such a result before she came, and she also expected such a situation. But she didn't have the slightest worry, let alone the slightest hesitation.

Because she understands that the matter in her hand at the moment, no matter how she Wu Zhao handles it, or what kind of attitude she uses to handle it in Huairou, it will make the world criticize.

Therefore, for her, the best way to ensure that she will not be harshly criticized by the courtiers who are already dissatisfied with her is to ignore this matter.

But she can't wait, let alone be as gentle as before. Because this matter has already touched her most beloved person. And the situation is so urgent that she can't try to mediate left and right, or tell someone to try to inform her of the disposition as usual!

Time is running out, she can only stand up to the gaze of these people, holding her Yugui, who symbolizes the identity of the second person in the Tang Empire, putting on her phoenix crown - Jin Ming, putting on her phoenix robe, striding towards her man, her husband, and then ......

"The concubine body is the Lord! Please forgive the concubine for being in a hurry to obey the power and being rude to the temple! ”

With a wave of the jade arm, she raised her sleeves like a phoenix spreading its wings, and she was full of gifts! The words that spit out are even more like beads cracking ice trays, clanging!

Li Zhi and the ministers, who originally had their own thoughts, were attracted by her eager demeanor and language for a while. Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight color: "The queen entered this time, and she was already based on the courtesy, so how can she say that it is rude?" Let's calm down first, but what is urgent, let's talk about it one by one! ”

Mei Nianglang thanked her, got up and put Gui in her hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the concubine, as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, has her own reason to rectify the harem and assist the lord." However, when he got up this morning, the chamberlain reported that he had intercepted the secret documents of the concubines in the palace of the emperor's younger brother Ji Wangfu and the wife of the traitor Ashina Helu, as well as confidential documents in the army. When the concubine heard this, she knew that this matter was a matter of military importance, and she didn't dare to ignore it, so she ordered it to be tested. However, before the test, it was reported that the inner servant had been assassinated, and wanted to destroy his mouth under the southwest corner tower of the Lizheng Palace, but fortunately, His Royal Highness Li Yun, the commander of Jin Wuwei, found it in time, and rescued him and saved his life!

Originally, this matter was not a big deal, but with the Lord's insight as clear as the sun and the moon, I am a Tang Dynasty scholar and martial artist, so I naturally don't pay attention to it.

However, the most fearful thing for the concubine is that the servant in this room was originally a close attendant of the prince's East Palace, and recently because the prince was slightly infected with the cold, he temporarily lived in the back bed of the concubine's palace, so he had to serve in front of the concubine.

And this time, when he was wanted to be killed, the prince was only three steps away from him! When he was stabbed, blood splattered the prince's robe! was even more shocked that the prince fainted immediately!

Now although the Holy Hand of the Medicine King has been rescued, the concubine has also been comforted several times and barely slept, but she is still crying in her dreams! As a mother, the pain in the concubine's heart and the shame are difficult to describe in one word! Please also ask the Lord to give concubines the sin of poor care! ”

Mei Niang's words, the louder she spoke, the more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and in the last sentence, it was already the ministers who were moved, and Li Zhi changed color!

As for herself, her eyes were red, her willow eyebrows were angry, and her phoenix eyes were angry: "Lord! The weight of the national reserve bears the burden of the heir! The concubine has the responsibility of taking good care, and the crime of inability to protect herself, and even the loss of being rude, and voluntarily being punished by a thousand knives!

However, this time the traitor dared to be so bold, on the side of the Tang Queen's bedroom, he dared to stain the prince's spring drive with blood and murder the prince's close attendants! This trip and this act clearly ignores the power of heaven and despises the emperor!

Please also ask the lord to investigate this matter strictly, and give the concubine and the prince justice! ”

After speaking, Mei Niang's eyes were full of tears, and she knelt down against Fenggui, grabbed the hairpin and shook off the phoenix crown, and as soon as her long hair was scattered, she only knocked her forehead heavily on Yugui!

There was a loud "tom", and her forehead was immediately red and swollen!

Her move was urgent and fast, even the Yu sisters behind her did not guard against it, not to mention Li Zhi and others, for a while, His Royal Highness was in chaos!

Everyone exclaimed in amazement!

Li Zhi thought that she was just talking about something important, but he never thought that to this day, such a madman would dare to make trouble in the Lizheng Palace, which he took care of, in front of his pillow!

Hearing the words, he was angry and worried about Li Hong, and he didn't have time to ask, but when he saw Mei Niang kneeling and knocking like this, he actually broke his forehead, and he was so shocked that his heart was broken!

Immediately shouted, "What are you doing!" So he rushed down first, held her whole person up, hugged her in his arms, and didn't allow her to mess around anymore!

And Mei Niang struggled several times and wanted to bow again, but she was tightly pressed by Li Zhi and didn't tell her to move! There were also Yu sisters kneeling and begging, and for a while, they had to pull Li Zhilong's robe and cry loudly in his arms!

The sorrow of the sad son, the injury of the poor son, everyone in the whole hall can't bear to hear it, and hide it from the side!

And Li Zhi's eyes were as red as flames, he gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Princess Ji, the king of the legend!" Transmit! ”
