Chapter 160: Get down to business

Although Wu Liangfu was not the highest official position present, he was undoubtedly the most important, because he generally did not come out, but whenever he came out, he must have been ordered by Li Zhi or Empress Wu.

And if it is a formal edict, then Wu Liangfu will not wait so long, presumably there are some edicts to be conveyed, and they are not very urgent.

"Your Royal Highness, the old slave came today to serve the order of the mother, please enter the palace tomorrow!"

Wu Liangfu was not verbose, and said bluntly.

"The Queen Mother?"

Li Hong asked with some doubts.

"Oh, look at the old slave's brain, Your Majesty is a little unwell, so I went to the apse early to rest, and now the government is temporarily handled by the mother."

"Father is sick? But is it serious, and Lone will go to the palace to visit? ”

Hearing that Li Zhi was unwell, Li Hong immediately frowned and stood up.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty is just a little tired, and it's fine, and before the old slave came, Your Majesty specially explained that Your Highness doesn't have to worry, if it's late today, there is no need to visit!"

Seeing Li Hong in such a hurry, a hint of approval flashed in Wu Liangfu's eyes, and he hurriedly explained.

After a pause, he continued.

"The specific thing, Niangniang didn't say, but presumably you adults know, since the words have arrived, the old slave will leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liangfu got up and said goodbye to Li Hong.

Li Hong didn't keep him either.

If it was usual, Wu Liangfu came to deliver the decree, presumably to stay and sit for a while, but today since Dai Zhide and others are also there, it is not very convenient.

When Dai Zhide and others came, they must have something to discuss with Li Hong. So it's a bit wrong for him to stay.

Wu Liangfu is a person who knows feelings and interests, and naturally knows the way to advance and retreat.

Sent Wu Liangfu away. Li Hong returned to the front hall.

"I've kept you waiting!"

Li Hong said again.

"Your Highness is really benevolent and filial!"

Unexpectedly, Dai Zhide, who originally had a serious face, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Li Hong was stunned, and then reacted. Dai Zhide was praising his knee-jerk reaction when he heard that Li Zhi was unwell.

So he arched his hand.

"Master Dai praised it falsely, but the son of man is not commendable!"

No matter how long it has been, Li Hong can't forget that when he just woke up in Luoyang Palace, the man with a scruffy beard and red eyes, at that moment he had no imperial demeanor, but it made Li Hong feel at ease. Because at that moment he could clearly feel that it was his father!

That feeling of blood connection, Li Hong will never forget it for the rest of his life!

"Alas, the Son of Man is duty! It's easy to say, but how many people in the Emperor's House can do it? ”

Dai Zhide sighed and said faintly, obviously recalling the old things when the kings seized the heirs when Taizong was in the past.

After a while, Dai Zhide came back to his senses and said apologetically.

"Your Highness. The old minister is rude! ”

"It's okay!"

Li Hong also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and hurriedly said.

"A few adults are here today, but what's the matter? Also, just now Wu Daban said that the queen mother summoned the orphan in the future, what is the matter? ”

Got down to business. Dai Zhide and the others became serious.

After a pause, Zhang Wenqian took the lead in speaking.

"What happened in the political hall today, presumably His Highness doesn't know about it, right?"

"Political Affairs?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Hong's mind. With a hint of excitement on his face, he said.

"But there has been a repetition of the triage of the three divisions?"

"That's right! Your Highness is really far-sighted! ”

Dai Zhide sighed in admiration. Go on.

"Today, the old minister was instructed by His Royal Highness to go to the government hall with Xu Xiang to deal with government affairs. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for a large number of impeachments of Liu Renliang for colluding with Li Yifu, asking His Majesty to choose another merit to preside over the trial of the three divisions, which was only a part at first, and then more and more, Xu Xiang had no choice but to enter the palace to face the holy ......"

Saying this, Dai Zhide showed a smile on his face.

"At that time, His Majesty's dragon was sick, and the queen mother was looking at the court on behalf of him, seeing this situation, Feng Yan was furious, but fortunately, Xu Xiang dissuaded him in time, and Niangniang calmed down, and finally in desperation, Niangniang had to agree to re-determine the presiding judge of the three divisions, presumably tomorrow Niangniang will discuss this matter with His Royal Highness!"

After listening to Dai Zhide's words, Zhang Wenjun on the side couldn't help but say.

"Great goodness! That's how it should be! How can the triage of the three divisions be so neglectful and become a villain's favoritism! ”

A grim smile appeared on Li Hong's face!

And so it was!

This is why he insisted on the triage of the three divisions at yesterday's court meeting? Now his relationship with Li Yifu can be described as extremely bad, how could he give him a chance to clear his name for no reason!

This creamed cake is filled with deadly poison!

is still the same sentence, the court has the rules of the court, no matter which dynasty, the judge and the person being tried must not have a too close relationship, if it involves relatives, no matter who must avoid suspicion.

And now up and down the court, who doesn't know Liu Renliang, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong is the right-hand man under the queen's mother, Xu Jingzong is okay to say, firstly, he is not the chief judge, and secondly, Xu Jingzong's reputation, prestige, and qualifications are much better than Li Yifu.

And Liu Renliang really can't say it, firstly, he has no qualifications, and secondly, he has an excellent relationship with Li Yifu, and the courtiers still remember the situation of the two of them being embarrassed and traitorous at the court.

Now that he is coming to preside over Li Yifu, how can he convince the public?!

This is almost already favoritism on the surface!

How can those imperial historians endure it?

At that time, Empress Wu only said that Li Hong had no choice but to give in, and even gave Li Yifu a good opportunity to clear his name in order to ease the relationship!

But he ignored this basic rule in the court.

In the past, Zhao Gao referred to the deer as a horse, which was the case, but today's court is not the time of Qin II, so naturally such a ridiculous and generous thing will not appear.

I'm afraid that this time, Liu Renliang, an old boy, is going to make a fuss.

"Good! Lone has long said that this triage of the three divisions is promising! ”

Li Hong smiled indifferently and said softly.

In fact, he had expected that there would be such a turmoil in the trial of the three divisions this time, and those imperial histories would definitely not give up!

But I didn't expect them to move so fast.

"But ......"

After the excitement, Zhang Wenjun continued to frown and said.

"Although the court is talking about it this time, but Niangniang is not an easy person to deal with, if the strength is not enough, I am afraid that in the end there will be little effect!"

Old man Zhang's meaning is very simple, the courtiers have never been a united collective, and various entanglements of interests will make their positions change at any time, and now they are emotional, but this is only for a while, if the Empress Wu chooses to deal with it coldly.

I'm afraid that after a while, this matter won't make much waves, and at that time, Li Yifu will still be unscathed, and the disgraced ones will be a courtier.

"Well, the old minister also has this concern!"

Dai Zhide's brows also furrowed, and he agreed. (To be continued.) )
