Chapter 5: Someone Dare to Make a Stumbling Block......
The Hall of Politics.
Although it was already evening, several prime ministers rarely gathered together, staring at the will that had just been sent from the Eastern Capital on the table, and no one spoke quietly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ahem, Your Majesty's will has been in the political hall for a few days, three days ago, several disagreed and could not be decided, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has set off to Chang'an, how to deal with the six rates of the East Palace, it should be finalized today."
After being silent for a while, the elderly Xu Jingzong stroked his huge belly and said with a smile.
"Is this still negotiable? His Majesty has already made his will clear, so naturally he should prepare for the sixth rate of the East Palace as soon as possible, at least before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushes back. ”
The doorman Hao Chujun has always been a straight man, and he spoke hurriedly.
"Hao Xiang's words are wrong, the sixth rate of the East Palace is a big matter, how can it be ignored. Let me ask you, Chang'an's military equipment has been a precedent for many years, and now if there is an extra East Palace Six Rate, how should it be placed? How can you gather so many soldiers at one time? What's more, in the past few years, natural disasters have been repeated, how can the household department have the spare strength to support the reconstruction of the East Palace? ”
Liu Renliang twisted the white beard on his chin, but he didn't let it go, and a series of questions made Hao Chujun speechless for a while.
"This ...... This...... You're a strong word! If everything is ready, what else do I have to do! ”
Hao Chu's handsome face changed, but he couldn't get back to Liu Renliang's question.
"Hehe, old man Hao, you are all old, and your temperament is still so big, come and drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger."
Xu Jingzong smiled and handed over a cup of tea.
"Well, since you have different opinions, then how about we play Your Majesty according to the truth?"
"Great goodness!"
Liu Renliang glanced at Hao Chujun, who was humming angrily, showed a smile, and stroked his palm and said.
"Yes!"
It stands to reason that the left and right servants of Shangshu Province have always been at odds, and there are few times when they have unified opinions, but this time, Dai Zhide was unusual, silent for a moment, and chose to agree to the matter.
"You...... Dai Zhide, are you an old horseman, worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
Hao Chujun turned around sharply and pointed at Dai Zhide, his face full of surprise.
Several people present are all thoughtful people, what to say is played according to the facts, Li Zhi's will is already uncertain, if it is a letter from the political hall, this matter must be hopeless, what surprised Hao Chujun the most was Dai Zhide's attitude, not to mention that he and Liu Renliang have always been at odds, it is his identity, and he should not make such a choice.
Because although Dai Zhide is the right servant of Shangshu Province, he still has the title of the prince's right concubine, which can be said to be the confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, but now he has such an attitude, which has to make Hao Chujun a little angry.
"Old man Hao, you ...... You're out of character! Don't you know that in the past, Emperor Yang was the only one who made the people of the world miserable because of his reckless military force, His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince, how could he lightly start the army, Dai, as the prince's right concubine, was responsible for advising the prince, and His Royal Highness would never be allowed to go astray. ”
Being pointed at his nose and scolded, Dai Zhide's face changed slightly, but he still held back his anger and explained.
"Well, since everyone's opinions are unified, then the old man will write to Your Majesty, Chen Ming......"
Xu Jingzong still had a smile on his face, but he obviously ignored Hao Chujun's meaning in his words, so he planned to finalize the matter, but Xu Jingzong was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a clear voice.
"Slowly!"
"Huh?"
Xu Jingzong was a little disliked, as a provincial servant under the door, he held the power to refute, plus he was old and a confidant of the Empress Wu, no one dared to interrupt him for a long time, looking up at the door, Xu Jingzong could distinguish the identity of the person at a glance, and he was stunned for a while.
Li Hong has actually been here for a while, but these people in the political hall are arguing very much, and they didn't notice it, seeing that these prime ministers are here, Li Hong didn't want to show up, after all, the prince returned to Beijing without permission is a big crime, Li Hong originally calculated, today is his teacher Dai Zhide on duty, so he thought about fighting and scolding the political hall to finalize the six rates of the East Palace, but he didn't expect to find out that the prime ministers were gathered here after he came, and what made him most angry was that Dai Zhide also opposed him to rebuild the East Palace Six Rates.
"Xu Xiang has always been good?"
Li Hong's face was a little gloomy, and he strode into the political hall and greeted Xu Jingzong, after all, Xu Jingzong's qualifications were there, and the elders of the three dynasties were in a high position, even if Li Hong was angry in his heart, he couldn't lose the etiquette he should have.
"Ministers and others participate in His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Seeing Li Hong appear in the political affairs hall, everyone's reactions were different, Hao Chujun's face was happy, Liu Renliang looked gloomy, Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, but there was nothing unusual, and replied with a smile.
"With His Royal Highness Prince Lao worried, the old minister is all right."
Li Hong greeted everyone one by one, and then sat down on the main seat, groaned for a while, and said.
"Lone just heard outside that you want to play your father on the matter of the six rates of the East Palace?"
"Well, we're discussing this later."
Xu Jingzong stroked his fat belly and said vaguely.
"But since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, it naturally depends on the opinion of His Royal Highness the Prince......"
This old fox, if he hadn't come in just now, he would have strangled the matter.
"In that case, please let Prime Minister Xu make his father's will clear to the world."
Li Hong leaned back in the chair and said lazily, Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become like this...... Shameless, he was just polite to him, he actually climbed the pole, how could there be such a casual reason for the deliberations in the political hall.
However, Xu Jingzong couldn't cry or laugh a little, the words had already been spoken, and if he didn't do his face, there would be no place to put it.
But if this will is passed like this, Xu Jingzong also hesitated a little in his heart, so he had to secretly give Liu Renliang a look, which means that if you don't speak again, I will really listen to the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please be cautious ......"
Sure enough, Liu Renliang saw Xu Jingzong's face and jumped out at once.
"Liu Xiang!"
Li Hong suddenly raised his voice, but then slowed down.
"Lone was outside just now, and I also heard the arguments of several ministers, Liu Xiang's questions, Lone will give Liu Xiang a satisfactory answer!"
Liu Renliang was interrupted by Li Hong in front of so many people, and his face turned red for a while.
Since the worship of the prime minister, it was Li Zhi and Empress Wu who also gave him some face, how dare anyone talk to him like this, but because of Li Hong's identity, he was not good for a while, so he had to sit down angrily.
"Then the old minister is waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's explanation!"
Seeing Liu Renliang sit down with an embarrassed face, Hao Chujun's heart was very happy, it was really feng shui in turn, just now he was forced by Liu Renliang to be unable to advance or retreat, and in a blink of an eye, this old thing ended up like himself.
