There was silence in the court, and it was obvious that the current situation was no longer a question of whether His Royal Highness King Yong could enter the court, but a game between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother!

Everyone was waiting for Li Hong to make a statement, but at this time, a voice suddenly came out, which caught all the ministers off guard.

Li Hong turned his head to look, but a wry smile couldn't help but appear on his face, this person was the stubborn old man who gave Li Zhi a headache, Wang Yifang!

The last time he impeached Li Yifu in the court, although it caused Li Zhilongyan to be angry, he won a reputation in the court.

All the ministers praised him for his courage and outspokenness, and Kuang helped the monarch, comparable to his benefactor Wei Hui and Wei Cheng.

In addition, soon after, Li Yifu quickly fell, which made his prestige in the court even higher, although he was punished slightly, but compared to the praise of the Manchu Dynasty, it was insignificant.

However, although Li Hong has some friendship with him, this old man has always rejected people thousands of miles away, and always looks cold.

I didn't expect that at this time, it would be him who would stand up and speak up.

"What does Wang Yushi think is wrong?"

There was a little displeasure in Empress Wu's voice, obviously remembering some unpleasant memories, but she still asked with a flat face.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the prince's participation in politics has never been an auspicious thing, and the prince has his own palace ministers to assist, why should the prince participate in politics? Even if it is a fief, there is also a history of the governor's palace, and the local governor will deal with it on his behalf, and His Royal Highness King Yong does not have to bother with it personally! The prince's practice of politics is harmful and unhelpful! Please Niang Mingjian! ”

Wang Yifang's voice was still hard, neither very excited nor cowering. He finished speaking calmly and bowed down. Waiting for the decision of the Empress Wu.

But on the contrary, it was this attitude that made Empress Wu's face ugly.

"What does Wang Yushi mean? It is not necessary for the son of this palace to learn more things. Isn't it possible? Or is it that my son has done such a great job that he can't even be rewarded? ”

Empress Wu's voice was slightly cold, and her good-looking eyebrows were furrowed.

"His Royal Highness King Yong's annotation of the Hou Han Book is naturally a great choice and should be rewarded, but even if it is a reward, the wealth and silk are all heavenly graces, so why bother to use political participation as a reward. What's more, the prince's participation in politics, the events of the previous dynasty are vivid, His Majesty Taizong in the past also had a Shangshu order, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Wu have all entered the dynasty to participate in politics. ”

Wang Yifang's face finally changed, but his originally cold face had a little more determination. His tone was slightly deep, his voice was clear, and after a pause, Wang Yifang continued.

"What's more, there is already one less Shangshu order in my dynasty. Is there any need for more official positions? ”

Wang Yifang's tone was not heavy, but it made everyone in the hall change their faces!

This Wang Yifang really deserves to be a student of Wei Hui. Dare to say anything!

These words have actually crossed the line a bit, His Majesty Taizong Li Shimin back then. He once held the position of Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Ling, and it is precisely because of this. Since then, in order to avoid suspicion, the official position of Shang Shuling has been simply revoked, so in today's Tang Dynasty, only Shang Shu is left and right, and Shang Shuling is no longer awarded officials, although there is this position, it is useless!

As for the original King of Wei Li Tai and King Wu Li Ke, they were the most outstanding guys in seizing the heir, and it was precisely because they and the crown prince Li Chengqian fought with each other that they would die together in the end, so that the youngest son-in-law Li Zhi won the throne.

However, these words are too taboo, although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know it in their hearts, no one dares to say it, only this stunned Wang Yifang is not afraid of anything and just said it!

But this time it really aroused the anger of the martial queen.

"What both the Gaozu Dynasty and the Taizong Dynasty have, why is it not feasible now? Wang Yushi looks down on a weak female stream in this palace! If Your Majesty is here, why is it here? ”

Empress Wu's voice was a little sharp, and the anger in it was undisguised.

"What's more, my son has always been a brother, obedient and friendly, why did he become an intrigue when he came to Wang Yushi, but I don't know what your intentions are?!"

After a pause, Empress Wu's face was cold, and her voice became a little cold.

If it were another courtier here, I am afraid that I would have been so frightened that I would not dare to say a word more.

But when he met Wang Yifang, who was not afraid of death, he was not even afraid of Li Zhi, how could he be frightened by this little formation.

At the moment, his face remained unchanged, and he bowed respectfully and bowed.

"The queen's mother is serious, the mother is in line with His Majesty's will to see the court, the minister should naturally be regarded as a king, if His Majesty is here today, the minister will still be so admonished, this is not a personal grudge, but a major event in the court!

His Royal Highness King Yong is young and handsome, talented, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and benevolent, and has a good way of handling politics, the two His Royal Highnesses are dragons among people, and the daily affairs of the two brothers, friends and brothers, ministers, etc. are also in their eyes! His Majesty's mother has taught her well, and the ministers are also very pleased! ”

Wang Yifang's voice was still as unhurried as usual, but it shocked his eyes.

Even Li Hong secretly swallowed his saliva!

Is this really the style of Wang Yushi? Such an obvious sycophant is not in line with his character at all, okay?

Seeing Wang Yifang's serious expression, Li Hong suddenly felt a little crying and laughing in his heart.

This person is simply an old-fashioned dogma, what he said is not sycophant at all, he will only tell the truth, at the beginning he felt that Li Yifu was rampant, so he wrote to impeach Li Yifu, and felt that Liu Renliang could not judge the case impartially, so he wrote to impeach Liu Renliang, and now he feels that it is inappropriate for the prince to participate in politics, so he said it directly.

He doesn't care about the consequences at all, and what he says now is not deliberately flattering, but what he really thinks in his heart!

That's why Li Hong thinks he can't cry or laugh, I'm afraid that this kind of courtier who will tell the truth to the king without reservation can't find a few now!

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Li Zhi loves and hates him, repeatedly belittles him, and finally returns to Chang'an!

"In that case, why are you stopping Hongu?"

Hearing Wang Yifang's words, Empress Wu was also stunned for a moment, and even remembered what Li Zhi had said to him before, Wang Yifang is a person, don't mess with him if you can.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I really can't do anything about him, I can't hang up my face if I don't punish him, and I can't bear to punish him heavily, it's really a headache!

"However, His Royal Highness's brothers, friends and brothers are the same thing, the minister is the imperial history, and he should consider it for the Tang Dynasty, the matter of the first emperor is still in front of him, and Niangniang must not worry about it, so he asks Niangniang to consider this matter carefully!"

I have to say that with the foreshadowing of the previous remarks, these two sentences are much easier to accept.

At least Empress Wu was not angry, but frowned and fell silent, as if she was a little moved, but then her expression became firm, and she said lightly.

"Wang Yushi is too worried, Xian'er is a prince, and he should be familiar with government affairs, otherwise how can he manage the fiefdom, not to mention that this matter has also been discussed with His Majesty, Your Majesty also means this, presumably Hong'er will not have any opinions, Wang Yushi is loyal to the country, and the palace is naturally pleased, but the royal family affairs do not have to be so aggressive!"

Empress Wu's tone was not heavy, and even had a bit of comfort.

But the meaning of the words is very clear, this is a family matter of our family, the emperor and the crown prince have no opinion, what are you involved with?

With that, Empress Wu turned her gaze back to Li Hong.

Li Hong didn't hesitate this time, because he knew that it was really time for him to make a statement this time! (To be continued.) )
