Chapter 6: The Sharp-toothed Prince

Li Hong didn't care much about Liu Renliang's reaction, this kind of person was offended if he was offended.

Although he didn't have a deep impression of Liu Renliang, he was basically sure that he and himself were not all the way.

Regarding the matter of the six rates of the East Palace, Liu Renliang has no reason to oppose it at all, what can't be gathered soldiers, the household department has no money, it's all a pretext, Datang has a million male soldiers, can't he get together his tens of thousands of personal guards.

In the past few years, natural disasters have been true, but is it really just a little bit of food for his people? What's more, Liu Renliang is a military general, and he reuses military generals, which is beneficial to him, but he is so fiercely opposed, which can only show that he has an opinion about himself, the prince, since he has no kindness to himself, there is no need for him to save any face.

After pondering for a moment, Li Hong spoke.

"Chang'an military equipment has indeed been a precedent for many years, but Liu Xiang can know that the sixth rate of the East Palace was set up by the first emperor, intended to guard the safety of the East Palace, and it originally belonged to the establishment of my Tang Dynasty army, but in the past, he was lonely and young, and he was unable to control, so he gradually fell into disuse, so how to settle it? Liu Xiang said this, but he was questioning the military system established by the emperor? Or does Liu Xiang feel that the prince Lonely, who is not worthy of the six rates of the East Palace? ”

Li Hong was unceremoniously, and the big hats were buttoned to Liu Ren's head one after another, just kidding, he didn't dare to mention Li Shimin in front of Li Zhi, didn't he dare to mention it here? Dare to stumble Lao Tzu so blatantly, see that I don't have a big hat to crush you!

"Old minister...... The old minister didn't dare, but it was really difficult to gather the soldiers for a while, and the household department was really tight, so it was better to postpone the discussion. ”

Liu Renliang's face turned from red to white, he didn't expect the prince to come back this time to be so strong, pressing step by step, not giving him a little face as the prime minister, gritting his teeth, he actually planned to oppose it to the end.

"Liu Xiangguo is really thoughtful."

Li Hong laughed angrily, this old horseman still wanted to delay, I really don't know what to do, and sneered at the moment.

"However, my father's will is clear, and the British public is responsible for the soldiers, so there is no need for Liu Xiang to worry."

Although the British Duke Li Ji has gradually ignored the affairs of the court, no one dares to provoke in the majesty of the military, even Liu Renliang, when he heard Li Ji's name, he wilted and stopped talking.

"As for the matter of the silver two, it will be temporarily allocated from the lonely's inner treasury, and I won't bother Liu Xiang!"

After Li Hong finished speaking, he no longer looked at Liu Renliang, who had a gray face, turned around and slowed down his tone, and said to Xu Jingzong.

"Xu Xiang, Lonely's reply, Xu Xiangke is still satisfied?"

"Hmm, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to the Eastern Capital, it's really different......"

Xu Jingzong, an old fox, was obviously unwilling to give Li Hong an answer.

It made Li Hong a little helpless, he dared to be so strong against Liu Renliang because Liu Renliang was not a confidant of the Empress Wu first, and secondly, he was not a confidant of the Empress Wu.

What's more, Li Hong has no grudges against him on weekdays, but he stumbled Li Hong like this, so that Li Hong couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson.

But Xu Jingzong is different, not to mention that he is the right-hand man of the Empress Wu, that is, as a subordinate servant, the power of refutation in his hands is enough to make Li Hong dare not be presumptuous, you must know that this lord is a person who has really refuted his father's holy decree.

In the first year of Lin De, after Shangguanyi instigated Li Zhi to abolish it, he was discovered by the Empress Wu in time, and the whole family was put into the prison, waiting for execution, his father Emperor had ignored the obstruction of the Empress Wu, and forcibly issued an order to pardon Shangguanyi, as a result, Xu Jingzong stuck the edict in Menxia Province, although the edict was passed later, but at that time Shangguanyi's family had already returned to the underworld.

So for this old fox, Li Hong really has no way at all, after all, it is the Empress Wu who stands behind him, not Li Zhi, but this old fox has always been cautious and wise to protect himself, and the six rates of the East Palace will not touch his interests at all, why should he risk offending Li Zhi and delay the passage of the edict? If you really want to refute the edict, why bother grinding with yourself here? Could it be ......

Li Hong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Xu Jingzong.

"Xu Xiang, speaking of which, it is not easy for Lone to ask for a decree, although his father reluctantly agreed, but Li Yuan did not agree from time to time, fortunately, the queen mother spoke well for Lone in front of his father, so there was this holy decree, Xu Xiang still don't embarrass Lonely."

After saying a word, Li Hong obviously saw Xu Jingzong's pupils shrink, and the secret way was really like this, Xu Jingzong actually didn't care whether the East Palace could be rebuilt, but the will from the Eastern Capital came from Li Zhi, not from the Empress Wu, Xu Jingzong couldn't get the meaning of the Empress Wu, so he kept grinding and hesitating.

"Oh, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true?"

Xu Jingzong's little eyes flashed with doubt, the prince's return this time was really different from before, which made him a little uncertain, this kid wouldn't be scolding him, right?

"Since it is true, the assassination of Lone in the Eastern Capital made the father and queen mother very angry, especially the queen mother, who mobilized the forbidden army to Suo the whole city, presumably Xu has heard about it, and the father and queen mother also felt this, so they specially allowed Lone to rebuild the East Palace."

Li Hong's heart blossomed, but his tone was serious, which made Xu Jingzong gradually feel at ease, after all, this kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time, if it is fake, once the Empress Wu returns to Chang'an, it will be exposed immediately, so Xu Jingzong is not worried that Li Hong will really dare to deceive him.

It's a pity that Xu Jingzong didn't expect that Li Hong, a bold guy, would really dare to deceive him!

In Luoyang Palace that day, Empress Wu clearly said that it was Li Zhi's decision, but when it came to Li Hong's mouth, he became a good word to Li Zhi for him to support this matter.

However, Li Hong is not worried about being exposed, anyway, by the time the emperor and queen return to Chang'an, the sixth rate of the prince has already been built, besides, Xu Jingzong will not be able to run in front of Empress Wu and ask her if she supports her to rebuild the sixth rate of the East Palace, no matter what Empress Wu thinks in her heart, since the will has been made, she will definitely be consistent with Li Zhi, so Li Hong is not afraid that Xu Jingzong will know the truth at all.

"In that case......

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong and said decisively.

"Xu Xiang, no!"

Dai Zhide suddenly spoke out to stop Xu Jingzong.

But Xu Jingzong ignored him at all, and said conclusively to everyone.

"According to His Royal Highness the Prince, tomorrow will make the will clear to the world, and begin to prepare for the reconstruction of the East Palace, and all ministries will fully cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the British Prince, okay, this is the end of today's deliberations."

After saying that, Xu Jingzong turned to Li Hong and said.

"Your Highness, the old minister is old and frail, so he will retire first, please forgive your Highness."

Then he left the government hall.

Seeing Xu Jingzong's figure disappear, Li Hongcai breathed a deep sigh of relief, glanced at Dai Zhide, whose face was flushed, and said.

"I'm lonely, go back first, and you ministers should go back quickly, the night is cold and the weather is cold, you are careful of the wind and cold."

With that, Li Hong strode out of the political hall.

"Your Highness stays ......"

There was a shout from behind, Li Hong frowned, but accelerated his pace.
