Chapter 337: The first to take the lead
Time passes little by little, and it will not stop because of any one person.
Although His Majesty the Emperor has said that he has not seen his ministers when he is sick these days, but in fact, what is the situation, all the bigwigs in the political hall know very well, in the past two days, there is no imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital to enter the palace to diagnose the patient, if His Majesty the Emperor is really sick, how can it be so?
It's nothing more than the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince banned Honglu Temple!
But even so, how long can it be delayed?
Xu Jingzong looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a calm face in front of the courtiers, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
Although their majesty is not in good health, he is a master who works hard, but he never delays the court meeting, even if it is difficult for him to see the court, he will let the queen mother preside over the court meeting on his behalf.
So no matter what, today's court meeting can't escape, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't come up with an explanation that is convincing to all civil and military officials today, I'm afraid this level will not be so easy!
What's more, there is still a King Yong eyeing him right now......
Turning his head to look at Dai Zhide beside him, but seeing him with the same sad face, Xu Jingzong sighed secretly.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really incapable of escaping this time!
Now that it is summer, the weather is gradually becoming hotter, although it is now early in the morning, the weather is still cool, but the tense atmosphere in front of the Hanyuan Hall makes Xu Jingzong feel a little uncomfortable.
When the time came, the door of Hanyuan Hall was still open as scheduled, and there was no difference!
But everyone knows that I am afraid that today's court meeting will not be peaceful.
As everyone expected, His Majesty the Emperor did not have any sickness at all, and sat on the throne peacefully, and the Queen Mother's face did not have the slightest look of worry.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the East Palace for being bold and reckless, and banning the Honglu Temple without authorization, please Your Majesty will be aware of it!"
After the ministers saluted, before the others could react, Zhou Yunyuan, the middle of the imperial history, stood up directly and provoked the incident with a clear attitude.
Obviously, Zhou Yunyuan's behavior is not an exception, followed by seven or eight imperial historians, all of whom have moved out of their positions, and the chapter on the performance is the matter of His Royal Highness the Prince's unauthorized ban on Honglu Temple.
For a moment, the crown prince seemed to have become the object of Qianfu's point, and all the eyes of the court were focused on him.
And Xu Jingzong sighed secretly, he knew that it would be like this!
From that day when Wu Liangfu came to him with a will to let him stamp the big seal of the province, Xu Jingzong had already understood the meaning of the palace, although he had not been sure how the queen mother would treat His Royal Highness the prince in her heart, but whether it was His Majesty's will or the will of the mother this time did not matter, the important thing was that once the emperor spoke, there would inevitably be no different voices.
In other words, for this ban on Honglu Temple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obtained the tacit consent of the emperor.
But even so, so what?
You must know that even if it is the emperor and the queen, it is impossible to completely suppress the turbulence of the court, although the implication of the emperor's will is quite obvious, but after all, it is just a hint.
The impeachment notes received by the political affairs hall in the past two days can be piled up!
If they continue to come for a few more days, I'm afraid they really won't be able to support it.
But fortunately, the emperor and queen finally came to the court today, and this hot potato finally no longer has to be held in his hands, Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, he was also a little curious in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not expect this kind of scene, so what good way did he have to solve it?
"Hong'er, I have received a lot of reports from the political hall in this matter, saying that you have banned the entire Honglu Temple and detained the upper and lower people, but is there such a thing?"
Li Zhi's voice did not carry the slightest joy and anger, making it impossible to guess what the emperor was thinking.
And His Royal Highness Li Hong was even calmer, and he arched his hand without being humble or arrogant.
"Back to my father, it's true that Honglu Temple is not allowed to enter and leave now, but this crime of banning Honglu Temple without authorization is not acceptable to the sons!"
After a pause, Li Hong turned to the civil and military officials.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know where you got the news from, saying that Gu banned Honglu Temple, but today Gu is here to make it clear that the reason why Honglu Temple is not allowed to enter and leave is because the assassination of the Turkic Khan has not yet been investigated, and Gu arranged the six rates of the East Palace around Honglu Temple, which is also at the behest of His Majesty, but I don't know what you can impeach?"
The prince's words were extremely tough.
didn't admit that he had overstepped his authority to ban Honglu Temple, and in turn questioned those who were impeached in the book, his words were not sharp!
However, the corners of Li Xian's mouth were filled with a sneering smile, how clever can he think of himself as the prince's brother, it turned out that it was just a trick, but now that the facts are there, how can he be allowed to rely on the debt?
As soon as his expression moved, Zhou Yunyuan stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Highness, the transfer of the sixth rate of the East Palace is certainly a matter of Your Majesty's permission, but is it possible that this Chang'an Order will frame His Highness out of thin air? Cui Jingwen's recital is still in the political hall, can His Highness be transferred to check it? ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Li Hong's expression was abrupt, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly.
"I don't know, what did Chang'an Ling say in his father's recital, and how did Zhou Zhongcheng know? Could it be that in this political hall, there are also people in the middle of the week? Or is this subordinate to the king ready to announce to the world at any time? ”
Zhou Yunyuan's face suddenly froze, and he lowered his head a little weakly.
You must know that although this matter has been rumored throughout Chang'an City, in fact, the cause is because of a letter from the Chang'an Order.
Li Hong's two questions can be said to be justified, making it difficult for Zhou Yunyuan to explain......
"Hehe, why should the prince's brother be so harsh on Zhou Zhongcheng, the movement of Honglu Temple is so big, everyone in Chang'an City has heard of it, Zhou Zhongcheng is just a slip of the tongue, and the prince's brother doesn't have to hold on to it!"
Seeing that Zhou Yunyuan was already unsupportable, Li Xian secretly cursed in his heart, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.
However, how could Li Hong let them go so easily, his face became more serious at the moment, and he spoke.
"Sixth brother, I don't dare to agree with the fifth brother, the political hall is the key to the country, and the secret place, if you can't even keep the music in the political hall secret, then what secrets does my Datang have at all, so this matter must be investigated!"
After a pause, Li Hong's expression became a little colder, and he turned to Zhou Yunyuan and said.
"Dare to ask Zhou Zhongcheng to explain this matter clearly, why did Chang'an order Cui Jingwen to report to His Majesty's note, and Zhou Zhongcheng actually knew what it was?" (To be continued.) )
