Li Hong never thought that Empress Wu's determination would be so great that in order to send Li Xian to the court, he was willing to give up the position of Zhongshu Ling!

You must know that this is not as simple as simply mentioning a name, an official position like the Zhongshu Order has always been arbitrary, and there is no room for subordinates to have any opinions, especially the Zhongshu Order, which adheres to the secrets and has always been held by the emperor's cronies.

Empress Wu was willing to let Li Hong come to the election of the book order, but it was beyond his expectations.

Squinting at Li Xian, Li Hong was puzzled in his heart, he really didn't expect that this kid was really powerful, and he could let Empress Wu send him to the court so much at any cost......

However, the current situation does not allow Li Hong to continue to hesitate, Empress Wu has already given such a big concession, and the next thing is to depend on Li Hong's attitude.

"After returning to the mother, the head of the Zhongshu Province is in charge of the secret, and the edict is drafted, which is really the most important thing, and the sons think that they are elected as the old and important ministers to take on the post of the Zhongshu Order, so the sons recommend the squire Hao Chujun, and look forward to the holy judgment of the mother!"

Li Hong didn't mention Li Xian's matter again, but his current attitude has represented everything, since he recommended Hao Chujun, he naturally won't hold Li Xian anymore, this is the rule in the court, Li Hong naturally will not violate it.

In fact, speaking of which, in Li Hong's heart, although Li Xian is scheming and the city is very heavy, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance after all, he has been living in the shadow for so many years, and he will not get used to it rashly when he comes to the front desk, and if he really hands over the country's major affairs to him, it will only be the people of Li who will suffer, and if he only goes to the court to listen to the government, it will not hurt.

Compared with. Zhongshuling's position is much more important, if he can win this position. Li Hong will have a lot of power to speak in the court in the future, and even has the strength to compete with the Empress Wu!

But who should be in this position? But it is also a difficult problem, without him, Li Hong knows in his heart that although Li Zhi has not gone to the dynasty now, he must always pay attention to the changes in the previous dynasty.

If Li Hong really proposed an official with a strong faction in the East Palace to come out, that would be the real search for death, and Li Zhi would never allow a subordinate official of the East Palace to occupy the position of Zhongshu Ling.

And at this point, the advantage of the Empress Wu is much greater, first of all, Li Zhi has almost complete trust in the Empress Wu, otherwise he would not have entrusted the previous dynasty to her. Moreover, Empress Wu does need the support of ministers with status to gain a foothold in the previous dynasty, so no matter what, Li Zhi is likely to continue to support an official of the Empress Wu's faction to take over the Zhongshu Order.

This is also the reason why Li Hong is puzzled, what did Li Xian say that after using force, he gave up this position in exchange for his entry into the court!

And he is neither an official of the Empress Wu faction nor the Donggong faction. There are also candidates with qualifications and abilities to take over the Zhongshu Order, Li Hong counted them, and then thought of Hao Chujun.

The old man seemed to be eager and hot-tempered. But to be able to mix in this position, who really doesn't have any ability.

Hao Chujun has always been unfamiliar with the Empress Wu. When Li Zhi wanted to let Wu Hou take charge of the government, he even raised objections. If it had been a different person, it would have been rectified by the Empress Wu a long time ago. But this old man still won the emperor's trust.

As we all know, Xu Jingzong, the prefect of Menxia Province, is the right-hand man of the Empress Wu, but Hao Chujun is Xu Jingzong's deputy in Menxia Province, but he is still in the mix, which shows that his person is not as simple as it seems.

What's more, although he has a very good relationship with the East Palace, he is not an official of the East Palace, presumably Li Zhi will not object to this matter!

"Well, what Hong'er said is very true, but this matter is very important, it is difficult for the palace to make a decision, and it still needs to be decided by His Majesty himself, but now that the dragons of Zhongshu Province have no leader, Hao Xiang will work a little hard, and it is good to temporarily dominate Zhongshu Province!"

Hearing Li Hong's recommendation of Hao Chujun, Empress Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded slightly, although Hao Chujun was a little dissatisfied with her, but this candidate was acceptable to her.

Putting aside everything else, Empress Wu is extremely recognized of Hao Chujun's talent and ethics, this person knows right and wrong, knows advance and retreat, and more importantly, in addition to the things of the year, it is very pleasant to partner with Xu Jingzong in Menxia Province, and he must have arrived in Zhongshu Province, and he will not deliberately embarrass her.

But having said that, after all, such a big matter as the Zhongshu Order is not something that the Empress Wu can decide, there must be an official edict of the emperor, of course, this point is naturally not a problem for the Empress Wu, before coming to the court, Li Zhi also mentioned the matter of the Zhongshu Order to her, and the implication is to let Hao Chujun succeed him.

Therefore, although Empress Wu did not directly agree, it has already been explained that Hao Chujun is temporarily in charge of Zhongshu Province, and I am afraid that the rest is a matter of going through the procedure!

"Uh, the old minister obeys the order, Xie Niangniang!"

Hao Chujun was still stunned on the side, although he had also thought about the position of Zhongshuling, but he didn't expect it to come so smoothly, so he didn't react for a while.

When he woke up, he honestly thanked him, and did not say other prevarications, since the Empress Wu had already said this, there was no need for that modesty!

"Well, it's hard work!"

Empress Wu nodded lightly and continued to speak.

"Today is the last court meeting before the first day, since there is nothing major, let's retreat! Xian'er, the great court meeting of the Yuan Ri, you will follow! ”

After that, Empress Wu didn't wait for the others to speak again, so she got up and left the hall with the support of Shangguan Wan'er.

This last court meeting of the year has finally come to an end.

Although he did not prevent Li Xian from entering the court, he finally did not let the position of Zhongshu Ling fall back into the hands of Empress Wu!

This also made Li Hong breathe a sigh of relief, but looking at Li Xian, who left in a hurry, Li Hong's expression was a little complicated, and there was a little more helplessness in his eyes.

In fact, today's court meeting was really a bit unexpected to him, if there was a choice, he really didn't want to let Li Xian enter the court as he wished, but I have to say that the timing he chose was really good.

Li Hong knew in his heart that Li Xian had arranged for so long, and there must be many of his men in the court, even if it was not enough to compete with the East Palace, it would not be a problem to make a big storm.

And now that the New Year is approaching, naturally everything is focused on stability, even Li Hong will not start a war lightly, which will not only displease the courtiers, but also make Li Zhi dissatisfied.

The most important thing is that the current situation in the court is very special, Li Zhifeng has a dizzy attack, and the descendants of the martial arts are looking at the dynasty, which is not something special, but now the martial queen is still pregnant, if something goes wrong, it is inevitable that there will be some ill-intentioned people who slyly slander, that is the danger to Li Hongzhen.

So in any case, the stability of the situation should be the most important thing now, not to mention that Li Hong can't always devote his mind to this matter.

Counting the days, the army of the Western Expedition is about to return to Chang'an, and when the time comes, Ashina Funian still needs Li Hong to deal with, which is the real big thing, but it must not be overlooked.

Li Hong's brain center was complicated, and some thoughts did not belong to the direction of the East Palace.

Unexpectedly, a small palace maid rushed to Li Hong's front in a hurry, panting and saying.

"Your Highness, it's not good! The Crown Princess...... Niangniang ......" (To be continued.) )
