Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, a small chamberlain came again to deliver the decree and ordered Li Hong to go to the Zichen Hall to meet the driver.

However, Li Hong was not in a hurry, and calmly waited until Di Renjie arrived at the East Palace before leaving for Daming Palace.

For some reason, the palace gate opened very late today.

And after Li Hong arrived at the Zichen Palace, he did not see Empress Wu and Li Zhi.

On the contrary, I saw a bunch of old ministers, not only Xu Jingzong, Zhou Yunyuan was already waiting here, even Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide were called over, in addition, there was a middle-aged man who Li Hong was not very familiar with, dressed in imperial history clothes, and his face was full of the four big characters "Do not approach the living".

Except for Hao Chujun, who is sick today, and Li Yifu and Liu Renliang, who are now sensitive, almost all the prime ministers of the political affairs hall have arrived, which makes Li Hong's heart sink, what happened again?

glanced in the direction of Dai Zhide, but saw the old man shaking his head lightly at him, indicating that he didn't know why there was such a big battle.

Thankfully, they didn't have to wait long, just a few moments later.

Then a pretty female officer came out and said.

"The queen has an order, order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the apse!"

The female official's voice was crisp, but there was a detached and formulaic smile on her face, Li Hong's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that this female official was Shangguan Wan'er who had just met a few **** before.

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Li Hong's heart.

followed Shangguan Wan'er and hurriedly walked into the apse, and the scene in front of her made Li Hong's face instantly ugly.

In the apse, Li Zhi lay weakly on the couch, his eyes slightly closed. Kneeling on the ground were two imperial doctors with medicine boxes, sweating profusely!

Empress Wu sat quietly next to her. Softly humming a song that Li Hong hadn't heard, a moment later. Li Zhi let out a slight snoring sound.

Then Wu Houfang raised his head, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Hong to go out.

"Lord Shangguan, what's going on? What happened to my father? ”

As soon as he came out of the apse, Li Hong asked urgently at Shangguan Wan'er.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty suddenly became dizzy last night, and urgently summoned the imperial doctor overnight, and he tossed until now before he fell asleep! As for His Majesty's condition. The slave maid heard Imperial Doctor Zhou say that she was temporarily stable and came down, but these days I am afraid that she needs to recuperate in peace and mind, and she can't look at the court! ”

Shangguan Wan'er is not as anxious as Li Hong, although she has not followed Empress Wu for a long time, but Li Zhi's dizziness is not a one-time offense, every time she follows Empress Wu, so she is much calmer than Li Hong.

It's just that this time the disease is menacing, and the trouble is even worse than the previous times!

The complexion moved slightly. Said softly.

Although Shangguan Wan'er didn't say it explicitly, Li Hong already understood what she meant.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hong's face has become more and more difficult to see.

Li Zhi could not look at the court, which meant that the court situation would be controlled by the Empress Wu during this time. Although it is not to the point of covering the sky with one hand, it will also make it difficult for Li Hong to move an inch.

What's more, now is the moment when the candidates for the three divisions are agreed, and Li Zhi will not be able to come forward. Li Hong lost the biggest hole card after the balance of Wu.

And at this moment, Li Hong suddenly understood. Why did Empress Wu just summon him into the hall inexplicably, and then didn't say a word. and let him go.

Because this time is too coincidental, Empress Wu needs someone to help her prove that she did not hold the monarch hostage in order to keep Li Yifu, and prove that she is the emperor on behalf of Li Zhi.

And Li Hong is the most convincing candidate!

Empress Wu didn't need Li Hong to do anything, he just needed to see that His Majesty the Emperor was still fine, which was enough to shut up the others.

And Li Hong had to do it!

Because it is Li Zhi's intention to take charge of the government after the martial arts, if Li Hong dares to stumble at this time, he will definitely be unlucky.

Wait for Li Hong to return to the front hall.

A cadre of ministers immediately surrounded him, and all the people present were human spirits, and they vaguely guessed something when Empress Wu summoned Li Hong into the apse.

At this moment, Li Hong came out, naturally to ask for an understanding.

However, Li Hong didn't say a word and sat down quietly.

A moment later, Wu Liangfu's slightly shrill voice sounded.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, after a group of ministers hurriedly saluted, they saw Empress Wu with a slightly tired face walking out.

What is different from usual is that this time Empress Wu is not only followed by a group of female officials, but also Wu Liangfu is standing.

Seeing this scene, Dai Zhide became more and more firm in his guess, and when he contacted the reaction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, his heart suddenly sank!

"Your Majesty is in poor health, and the palace is ordered to look at the court for the time being!"

Empress Wu sat down on the throne, glanced around, and slowly spoke.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, to say that His Majesty the Emperor is indeed not in good health today, and it is not the first time that the descendants of Wu have looked at the dynasty, but this point in time is really a coincidence, just to discuss the presiding judge of Li Yifu's case, Li Zhi suddenly fell ill, which is really a little suspicious.

Seeing that the minister was a little hesitant, Li Hong sighed and stepped forward.

"Father and emperor should rest in peace at this moment, and the affairs of the court and government are at the discretion of the queen mother!"

In fact, Li Hong knew from the beginning that Empress Wu would not hold Li Zhi hostage, not to mention the situation he had just seen in the apse, that is, Wu Liangfu, who was expressionless under his eyes, was the proof!

This old guy is the henchman of Li Zhi's henchmen, and standing behind Empress Wu at the moment, he can only represent one meaning, this is what Li Zhi meant!

This is also the reason why Li Hong is worried.

Li Zhi will not be unaware of the current opportunity, let alone the twists and turns of the ministers who are flocking to him, although it may be an accident at this juncture, but Li Zhi still chooses to let the Empress Wu take full charge of the overall situation.

And with such a strong action to express support for the Empress Wu, a lot can already be seen.

At least this means that Li Zhi still has a protective attitude towards Li Yifu, perhaps he has not said it positively considering the prince's face, but this attitude of ignoring it has shown everything.

What's more, in the past, when the descendants of the martial arts looked at the dynasty, Li Zhi would issue an order to order all the prime ministers of the political affairs hall to participate in the governor's affairs, but this time he did not leave a single word, which probably did not include the meaning of wanting Li Hong to retreat.

And this is also the reason why Empress Wu used such a big battle this time, Li Zhi rashly let her preside over the court situation alone, and many ministers under her will definitely be dissatisfied, so she took the first step to lay out the facts and determine the legitimacy of her power.

In this way, whatever the outcome of today's deliberations is, the courtiers must accept it.

Because Empress Wu is the real acting monarch this time, what she means is what the emperor means!

Seeing Li Hong's actions, everyone in the main hall immediately dispelled the last trace of doubt in their hearts.

Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction, paused for a moment, and spoke.

"I summoned you here today because the political hall sent a lot of twists and turns the day before yesterday, all of which were to impeach Liu Renliang, the chief judge of the triage of the three divisions, thinking that he had a close relationship with Li Zhongshu, and requesting the removal of the presiding judge! If you have any opinions, let's talk about them! ”
