The court meeting of the Tang Dynasty is held once every three days, and if there are no exceptions, officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must participate, mainly to solve various political affairs.

Like the last big meeting, it will only be held when there is a major court event or festival!

Early in the morning, the ministers came to the Hanyuan Hall early in the glimmer of dawn, and the court meeting has been held countless times, but this time it is different for them, because it is now approaching the end of the year, and today, it is the last court meeting of the year, and then the officials began to take a holiday, preparing for the New Year!

So today's ministers are beaming with joy on their faces, but what they don't know is that today's court meeting is not peaceful!

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Hong was dressed in court clothes, standing at the head of the ministers with a calm face, and every minister who came would come to greet him first, and Li Hong also responded with a smile.

But today, there was an extraordinary person who walked in front of him.

"I've seen Brother Prince!"

The person who came was dressed in a purple royal suit, with a jade hanging from his waist, a handsome face, and a just right smile on his face, which did not look humble, but also revealed a sense of alienation.

Bow respectfully, quietly and elegantly!

Li Hong sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the courtiers praised him as a virtuous king, who would have thought that this quiet and gentle young man would hide such wolf ambitions.

"The sixth brother is here, let's wait for a while, the court meeting will not start until a while!"

With a smile on his face, Li Hong replied lightly.

Li Xian's title just now made him in a trance, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered his other two younger brothers. Li Xian and Li Dan, every time they see him, they call him "Fifth Brother" affectionately.

Only Li Xian. Every time I see him, I respectfully call him "Brother Prince"!

It turns out that since then, he has been so concerned about the position of the East Palace?

That's it. Li Hong suddenly lost interest in talking to Li Xian, and after answering lightly, he turned around and ignored him.

Li Xian, on the other hand, was slightly stunned, and then a complicated smile appeared on his face, and he slowly walked behind Li Hong and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty is slightly ill, today's court meeting is presided over by the queen! Everyone, come with me! ”

Not much. Wu Liangfu walked out and said to the ministers.

The emperor suffers from dizziness, which the courtiers know, and it is not once or twice that the queen is entrusted to temporarily preside over the government, so the ministers are used to it.

After caring about the emperor's health, everything went as usual and began to enter the palace to prepare for the court meeting.

Only Li Hong's face changed slightly, although when he was discussing it yesterday, he said that he didn't expect Li Zhi to come out to stop this. But in fact, he still hopes that Li Zhi can come forward to control the situation, at least so that he can find out what Li Zhi's attitude is towards this matter.

But now it seems that it is going to fail!

"I've seen the Queen Mother!"

When I entered the Hanyuan Palace, I really saw that the dragon chair in the middle was empty. On a slightly smaller throne next to it, Empress Wu sat on it through a layer of bead curtains.

Speaking of which, Li Hong is a little strange. It stands to reason that Empress Wu has been pregnant for about six months now. This is the time when you should have a baby with peace of mind.

But his fierce queen mother did not have the tiredness of her pregnancy. Even in better spirits than Li Zhi, it is said that he can still handle the cantata.

Except for the fact that it is a little inconvenient to walk now, it is no different from before pregnancy.

"Zhuqing, let's be flat!"

Empress Wu's voice was calm, but anyone who was careful could still hear a trace of worry in it, but it disappeared in a flash, and after a while, Empress Wu's voice became cheerful.

"Today is the last court meeting before the Yuan Ri, so let's discuss some happy things first! Hyun'er? ”

Empress Wu smiled and shouted lightly below.

And Li Xian's face was also slightly excited, and he stepped out of his position and said to Empress Wu.

"The queen mother, before the son's ministers in March, summoned all the doctors of the country, together with the great Confucian scholars in Chang'an City, annotated Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han", which has now been completed, and is hereby presented, please take a look at the queen mother, and pray for the father's early recovery!"

After saying that, Li Xian waved his hand, and a small chamberlain took out a thick book and presented it to the imperial case in front of the martial arts.

The faces of the ministers were also filled with a hint of admiration, you must know that the Later Han book is extremely complicated, and it is not easy to read it, let alone the annotations, and someone will play it at the moment.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yong's following is very charming, and it is really a great fortune for my dynasty!"

Then there was a burst of echoing voices, which were nothing more than praise for Li Xian's annotation of the Later Han Book, his hard work and high achievements, which was of great benefit to our dynasty and should be rewarded.

Li Hong's face remained unchanged, and he was still the same gentle as ever, but he sneered in his heart.

If anything, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods jumped out, and the first one to jump out was Li Yifu's old friend, Shangshu's left servant shot Liu Renliang!

Previously, Li Hong was still wondering, as the left servant of Shangshu Province, why did this old man suddenly hook up with Li Yifu, and he also obeyed Li Yifu's words, and even was willing to be a pawn, and he didn't even want his own identity, but now it seems that it is just because the two of them have taken refuge in one master!

There are a lot of people who come out of power, but there are only a few who make the most trouble, and most of the ministers just casually echo it.

And the real bigwigs, like Xu Jingzong, Hao Chujun, and even the remaining six Shangshu, all stayed in place and did not move, these old guys who have been in the court for so many years have noticed a trace of unusual flavor in today's atmosphere......

However, what made Li Hong a little strange was that Zhou Yunyuan's old guy was also standing in place, not moving at all!

"Well, it's indeed a big project, it's really hard for Xian'er to be able to concentrate on studying the sage's scriptures, comprehend the deep meaning, and be able to compile a book and pass it on to future generations!"

At this time, Empress Wu also closed the annotation of the Later Han Book that Li Xian had just presented, and said with a smile on his face.

"Since you have merit, you should naturally be rewarded, your father usually rewards you a lot of money, and there must be no shortage of them, now that Xian'er is already old, he should naturally be familiar with government affairs, and he can assist your fifth brother well in the future, so how about Xian'er participate in the future court meeting?"

Empress Wu restrained the smile on her face, and there was a little more seriousness in her words.

"Erchen thanks the queen mother, and he will be a good assistant to the prince's brother in the future!"

Li Xian's face was excited, but he still stepped forward to thank him calmly.

"Hong'er? What do you think? ”

As soon as the former's words fell, Empress Wu turned to Li Hong and asked lightly.

Suddenly made Li Hong's heart sink.

At today's court meeting, Li Xian would be allowed to enter the court to participate in politics, which he had expected and was not surprised, but at this moment, Empress Wu's attitude caught him a little off guard.

Because if she really wanted to ask Li Hong's opinion, she wouldn't ask Li Hong again after making a decision, and asking Li Hong at this moment was not asking his opinion at all, but asking him to show his attitude.

And in this current situation, can Li Hong say no?

That is not only the meaning of disobedience to Empress Wu, but also makes the courtiers feel that Li Hong is intolerable, so Empress Wu's move is to force him to support Li Xian to enter the court.

To be honest, Li Hong actually doesn't care about this matter, even if it is blocked today, I am afraid that Li Xian will think of other ways in the future, but it is not necessary for him to end up with a bad reputation.

What makes Li Hong really vigilant is the attitude of the Empress Wu, it stands to reason that as long as the Empress Wu announces that Li Xian will enter the court, the goal will be achieved, and there is no need to involve Li Hong at all.

But she did this to warn Li Hong about his recent behavior? Or is she telling Li Hong that she is already planning to support Li Xian?

Either way, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, now it is above the court meeting, and the Empress Wu asks questions, naturally he can't delay for too long, it is Li Hong who arched his hand and was about to speak.

But I heard a voice behind me.

"Queen Mother, the old minister thinks this matter is inappropriate!" (To be continued.) )
