After the bigwigs of the political hall came out of the imperial city, their faces were not very good-looking, and after meeting each other, they all went home, silently thinking about how to face this explosive news tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next day, the East Palace.

Standing in the center of the hall were the three prime ministers, Xu Jingzong's face was solemn, holding a yellow silk, and behind him, Hao Chujun and Dai Zhide also looked serious.

"By Divine Decree! Prince Hong's decree! ”

Although he got the news last night, but at this moment, Li Hong's heart was still a little more complicated.

"Under the door, the emperor is called ......"

Xu Jingzong's voice was old and steady, but it surprised the uninformed, you know, under normal circumstances, edicts that begin with such words are only used in other ceremonies such as the canonization of the crown prince......

However, Li Hong's face was still calm, and he already knew the content of this edict last night.

"I don't know if the dragon is in good shape, the government is powerless, the crown prince is gentle and pure, when he can inherit the great treasure, I want to follow Yao Shun, perform the ritual of Zen, and after March, do this ceremony! Chin this! ”

The front is a bunch of flowers, which is nothing more than praising Li Hong's usual benefits, and by the way, I reviewed the years that Li Zhi has been on the throne for so many years, and the last two sentences are the point!

It turned out to be a Zen edict!

You know, although there are rumors in the market, although there are a few suggestions that are not long-sighted.

But except for those who understood the inside story, everyone didn't expect His Majesty to have made such a decision!

"Xu Xiang, this edict Li Hong dare not accept it!"

Li Hong's face was also solemn, and his voice was calm.

"Although my father has a small illness, it is no big problem, Li Hong, as a son of man, should be filial piety and humble, and he is a son and a minister, and he dare not accept the edict!"

With that, he got up and waved his hand to signal the send-off.

Xu Jingzong was not hypocritical, and arched his hand and said.

"Your Royal Highness has this filial piety, Your Majesty will be grateful, and the old minister will receive the prince's edict!"

It is etiquette to say three words and three concessions, even if the edict is enthroned, this procedure cannot be omitted, whether Li Hong is sincere or false.

Indeed, he could not receive this will!

Theoretically, this is one of the procedures for taking place!

What's more, what he has in his hand is not an official edict of the Zen position, at most it can be regarded as a declaration that there is such a thing in the world!

Therefore, Xu Jingzong was not surprised, he put away the holy decree in his hand lightly, turned around and stepped out of the threshold of the East Palace, and Hao Chujun and Dai Zhide behind him also left.

For a while, the hall was clean, and only Li Hong was still in a daze.

"Your Highness......"

After a long time, Wang Fusheng, who really couldn't stand it, called out with a little timidity.

"Prepare for the car, I want to enter the palace alone!"

Li Hong sighed slowly, but the light in his eyes flickered slightly.

In fact, Li Hong was not surprised by this matter, after Li Xian's mutiny, Li Zhi had mentioned this matter, and finally gave up under the opposition of the ministers!

Then it was the time of Jiucheng Palace, although Li Hong did not know exactly what Li Zhi summoned them to talk about at that time, but later Shangguan Wan'er came back with a message, which also confirmed his guess!

It's just that these two times were done under the opposition of the minister!

Thinking of this, Li Hong suddenly had a strange thought!

Could it be ...... Li Zhi revealed the case of Pingkangfang to him, and this is the purpose?

He knew that Li Hong would definitely investigate it carefully, and he would definitely fight with the Wang family!

And the other party aimed at the East Palace, and the means were nothing more than these, and now the government and the opposition are all praising Li Hong.

He can push the boat down the river and conform to the "public opinion"!

Shaking his head slightly, sweeping away the chaotic thoughts, Li Hong focused his attention on the present, there is no doubt that Wang Hong's hand is playing very well!

This moment is the critical moment of the case, once it is delayed, the Wang family will have enough time to erase all traces! So Wang Hong simply sent a gift that Li Hong had to delay!

He didn't believe that anyone could not be moved in front of the throne, even if Li Hong was unwilling, it would depend on the one on the throne, whether it would be allowed or not......

"Your Highness, Your Majesty and Niangniang are in the Zichen Palace!"

Not long after, Li Hong came to the imperial city, and Wu Liangfu still looked smiling, standing respectfully at the foot of the steps, waiting for Li Hong.

"Sons see father and queen, queen mother!"

What Li Hong didn't expect was that this time Li Zhi was already waiting for him, you know, since returning to Beijing, Li Hong has asked to see Li Zhi many times, but he has never been summoned.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Li Hong still saluted respectfully.

It's just that when he looked up, he always felt that there was an inexplicable chill in this Zichen Palace.

"Get up!"

Li Zhi's face was good, lying on the couch, while Empress Wu was sitting on the side, with the same smile on her face.

"I don't think the speed of Xu Xiang is slow, the edict should have arrived in the East Palace!"

Before he could speak, Li Zhi's voice rang out again.

"Father, son, ......"

As if knowing what Li Hong was going to say, Li Zhi waved his hand slightly, sighed and said.

"Hong'er, I know that you are a good boy, but I have already made up my mind about the Zen position, you don't need to say it anymore!"

"But Father, the matter of the Wang family ......"

Seeing this scene, Li Hong knew that Li Zhi's mind had been decided, but he was still a little unwilling, and spoke again.

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi sighed, and his voice became a little heavier.

"Hong'er, the power of the family, I am naturally clear, this is also the reason why I tried my best to weaken the power of the family, the matter of the Wang family is not just the matter of the Wang family, I reminded you before, the family of the five surnames is one, although the case of the Wang family is conclusive, but it can't move their foundation, do you understand?"

Li Hong's expression was a little gloomy, he naturally knew that the Wang family had a hundred years of inheritance and a deep foundation, even if this case could really be handled, it would only be a matter of dealing with a few children of the Wang family.

And their ability to call the wind and rain in the court is what the emperor fears the most!

"Father, my Tang Dynasty has the law, naturally should act according to the law, although the family is big, but this court is not the court of his family, the son understands the hard work of his father, and also understands the Wang family's calculations, but this case, the son must investigate to the end!"

After settling down, a touch of resoluteness appeared on Li Hong's face, and his voice became solemn.

The plan of the Wang family is nothing more than to ask Li Hong to admit his feelings, and at the same time show his strength in the court, and finally be able to retreat in the face of difficulties!

It's a pity that Li Hong doesn't believe in this evil, and he will handle this case!

"Hong'er ......"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, he believed that Li Hong could know the stakes, but he still insisted on doing so......

Looking at his son's determined expression, Li Zhi sighed slightly.

"I ...... You will be given another month at most, and after one month, it will be the enthronement ceremony! ”
