In the Qianyuan Palace, the ministers stood solemnly.

The crown prince stood on the top of the golden steps, his eyes looked around, and everywhere he looked, the ministers bowed their heads.

Empress Wu sat on the imperial couch and looked at Fan Yunxian on one side.

Fan Yunxian bowed slightly towards Empress Wu, then took out another holy decree from behind him, turned to look at the ministers, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree." ”

"Minister's order." The ministers bowed their heads again.

Fan Yunxian opened his holy decree and said loudly to the ministers: "But in the second year of Yonglong, the second year of the year, the second day of the twelfth year, the third day of the first month of the new year, the emperor said:

Yu play!

In the month of this winter, the nobles and relatives of the government and the opposition gathered in Luoyang, and the world was uneasy.

Therefore, the general of the Praetorian Guard, Pei Xingjian, the general of the Right Jinwuwei, Xue Guwu, the general of the Left Guard, Xue Rengui, the general of the Right Guard, Li Xuan, the general of the Right Guard, Gao Kan, the general of the Left Guard, Li Jinxing, the general of the Right Guard, and Sun Renshi, the general of the Right Tunwei, were ordered to sit on the board of directors and properly handle military affairs.

Chin this. ”

"Your Majesty has no borders."

The ministers bowed their heads at the same time, but their eyes unnaturally fell on the seven generals who bowed on the right.

No wonder the emperor specially asked all seven generals to stand in front of the palace gate today.

Now that they are guarding the sixteen guards of the yamen, then the sixteen guards of Luoyang will be as stable as Mount Tai.

The imperial court is strict in Luoyang, and the prince sits on the director of the political hall, and more military affairs are in charge of the queen of heaven, and the center has been as stable as Mount Tai since then.

Li Xuan got up with a solemn expression, his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through the Qianyuan Hall and see the Zhenguan Hall behind him.

The emperor's layout is indeed extremely strict, but it can also be seen that Li Zhi's confidence is insufficient.

Seven generals sat in the army, and the military was authoritative.

If you are not careful, it may lead to military rebellion.

Now the seven generals in the court, Pei Xingjian is the prince's guest, Li Xuan is the prince's guest, Gao Kan is the prince's concubine's daughter-in-law, and the prince is now sitting in the political hall, is the emperor really at ease?

People with a real keen sense of smell have already sniffed a glimmer of opportunity.

However, Li Xuan's gaze drooped.

Although the emperor was seriously ill, the Empress Wu sitting on the imperial couch was not so easy to deal with, not to mention that Li Xian didn't have any messy thoughts at all.

It's another game to say badly at the moment.

The emperor was seriously ill, but the more he was at this time, the more unstable his mind became.

……

In the Qianyang Palace, the Empress Wu was in charge.

The household department reported to the Empress Wu that this year's income and expenditure should be made from the first month of the first month to the first day of November.

The officials and the ministry have transferred more than five personnel in this year.

The Ministry of War made a report on the use of troops between the DPRK and China this year, especially the war in the Western Regions.

Even Li Xuan's proposal to send more people to Persia to assist in the restoration of Persia was also put on the agenda.

The Ministry of Industry played the work of the world's mountains and rivers and waterways this year.

The Criminal Department played the major criminal cases in the world this year.

The Ministry of Rites performed all the ceremonial events of the year.

In particular, there is Mount Tai Feng Zen......

Empress Wu sat on the imperial couch, glanced at Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then looked at the ministers and said: "Zhuqing, the matter of the Ministry of Rites can not be delayed any longer, Songshan Fengzen is imminent, the post of the Ministry of Rites must be determined before the 15th Dynasty, what are the recommended candidates for the Ministry of Rites, you can push the Ministry of Officials, and then the political hall will be agreed, and the palace and Your Majesty will be played." ”

"Minister's order." The ministers in the palace gave up their hands at the same time.

Quite a few people's eyes flashed with excitement.

The emperor was seriously ill, and it was difficult to determine the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in one word.

In this way, all parties in the DPRK and China who have the power to recommend will jump out.

Empress Wu sat on the imperial couch, her eyes swept over Li Xian, Li Dan, Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen and others, and finally fell on the body of Dou Xuande, the secretary of the ministry.

Dou Xuande immediately bowed down and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Empress Wu nodded slightly, and then swept her gaze over Wei Xuantong, the servant of the Ministry of Households, Lu Qinwang, the waiter of the Household Department, Wei Zhiqi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Pei Judao, and Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

These people, Wei Xuantong is Wang Dezhen, Ouyang Tong is a party; Doulu Qinwang is Li Dan's long history; Wei Zhihui is a member of the princess's clan.

These are the three most promising people, the other Pei Judao, Li Huaiyan, Yao Lingzhang, Cui Mi and others, although they all have their own coming, but they are just running together.

Empress Wu raised her head, looked at Li Dan, and said, "King Xiang." ”

"The son is here." Li Dan immediately turned around and looked solemnly at Empress Wu.

"You have always been responsible for the affairs of Songshan, so today I ordered you to be the governor of Songshan, in charge of the temples of Songshan, the preparations of the divisions, and the safety of the affairs." Empress Wu looked at Li Dan and said seriously: "After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Songshan Mountain is closed, and no one is allowed to go out, and all hidden places inside are cleared, and irrelevant people are expelled. ”

"Whoa!" Li Dan solemnly received the order.

Empress Wu raised her head and turned to look at Li Yuanjia, the king of Han: "King Han! ”

"Minister!" Li Yuanjia walked out with a solemn face.

Empress Wu nodded, and then looked at Taichang Siqing: "Lin Qing." ”

Lin Renji, the secretary of Taichang Temple, arched his hand and stood up: "The minister is here." ”

Empress Wu nodded and said, "Order the two of you to be the deputy head of Songshan and assist the Prime Minister in handling the affairs of Songshan safely." ”

"Minister's order." Li Yuanjia and Lin Renji bowed their heads at the same time.

……

Li Xuan stood on the side, his eyes lowered, his expression did not change in the slightest, but he was thinking in his heart.

The emperor and the Empress Wu, as expected, threw out the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and threw it to the ministers to compete for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The East Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the family, the clear stream, and the relatives will all fight for it.

While the parties are fighting, the eyes that fall on the emperor and the empress will be much less.

While the emperor was recuperating, he was also able to withstand the pressure of the outside world as much as possible.

It's just the matter of Songshan, and Li Dan was directly pushed out, aren't you afraid of him doing something?

If the emperor let Li Xian sit in the political hall, in addition to being at ease enough with Li Xian, he also wanted to see if there were some particularly ambitious people around Li Xian who wanted to push Li Xian to plot misdeeds.

Now it seems that the emperor's suspicion is not only aimed at Li Xian, but also Li Dan.

Wrong.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed, the emperor's suspicion was aimed at all those who had plans for the throne at this time.

For example, the Zheng family.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes completely converged, and the next moment, Empress Wu's gaze had already swept over him.

"Li Qing!" Empress Wu's gaze fell on Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Huaiyan immediately stood up and gave his hand: "The minister is here." ”

Empress Wu nodded and said: "This time the emperor sealed Zen, and the history of the Zhuzhou Assassin brought a large number of tributes into the palace from all over the country, and the Ministry of Rites selected some of them, and then sent them to the political hall, and the prince selected some to send to the palace here. ”

"Minister's order." Li Xian and Li Huaiyan gave up at the same time.

The emperor sealed Zen, and the three hundred states in the world had to pay tribute.

Now it's the end of the year, and there is a tribute to be sent for next year's New Year's Day.

Now it's just a gift to celebrate the New Year's Day with a tribute to Feng Chan.

Empress Wu continued to speak, and said: "Shangshu Province will send the state affairs annual music submitted by each state, and after selection, send it to the political affairs hall, and after the political affairs hall is selected, send it to the Qianyuan Palace, and the palace will summon relevant people. ”

Shangshu left Cheng Liu Jingxian, Shangshu right Cheng Guo to be lifted, and the crown prince Li Xian stood up at the same time: "The ministers are in order." ”

"Criminal Department." Empress Wu's gaze fell on Duan Baoxuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"The minister is here." Duan Baoxuan stood up and gave his hand.

"Many of the prefectures are in Luoyang, and it is inevitable that there will be some stupidity in the localities, and the criminal department will send personnel into the local states and counties to supervise, if anyone makes trouble between His Majesty's confessions, they will be dealt with severely." Empress Wu looked at Duan Baoxuan coldly.

"Commandment." Duan Baoxuan solemnly bowed his hand.

……

Li Xuan stood on the side, and her heart couldn't help but move.

Has Empress Wu noticed this at this time now?

The emperor has always wanted to give amnesty to the world.

And it is a greater amnesty than the change of the yuan.

Compared with the emperor's accession to the throne, the emperor's wedding, and the emperor's birthday are not bad at all.

But for everything else, the government and the opposition are unprepared, but the matter of sealing Zen has been several years.

Before Mount Tai sealed Zen, although the government and the opposition knew that the emperor would grant amnesty to the world, no one knew to what extent the amnesty would be granted, but now, Songshan sealed Zen, but there is a precedent for Mount Tai to follow.

In the government and the opposition, there are such smart people who will do things that they usually dare not do at this time.

Anyway, even if he is caught in prison, he will be amnesty next year.

It's not even good to say, now something has happened in the place.

Li Xuan's eyes groaned, this kind of thing, the arrangement of the Empress Wu is enough, why do you have to advance in the court, aren't you afraid that this will remind some people?

Or does it seem like this is a reminder to some people?

Li Zhi and Empress Wu, the husband and wife, singing and harmonizing, are fishing again.

Li Xuan's expression calmed down, and he stood in the queue, watching Empress Wu dispose of all the accumulated court affairs.

Over the years, the ministers have become accustomed to the handling of political affairs by the emperor of the Wu Dynasty.

Even the crown prince had no objections.

……

"Retreat!" Fan Yunxian stood on the golden steps and shouted loudly.

The ministers in the palace bowed their hands at the same time: "The ministers send the queen of heaven, and the queen of heaven is blessed with gold." ”

Empress Wu nodded, then stood up and walked towards the side door.

After just taking two steps, Empress Wu stopped again and looked at the crown prince Li Xian behind him.

Li Xian immediately understood and quickly followed.

Soon after, the sound of Empress Wu and the prince talking in a low voice could be heard outside the hall, and it was getting farther and farther away.

Li Xuan stood up straight, and his gaze fell on Li Dan in the center of the golden steps.

There is no doubt that before today's dynasty, Empress Wu and Li Xian must have met the emperor together.

In this way, the mother and son will handle government affairs together.

But unfortunately, Li Dan was kicked out.

Even from last month to now, Li Dan has not seen the emperor, but Li Xian, who has seen the emperor several times in the past few days since he came to Luoyang from Chang'an.

Glancing at Li Dan, who was a little depressed, Li Xuan shook his head in his heart, turned to look at Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, Li Jinxing, Sun Renshi, Gao Kan and Xue Guwu and others, walked over and whispered a few words.

Even if several people and Li Xuan have fought side by side, even Gao Kan is also Liu Renliang's old department, and now he is Li Xian's prince and concubine's Yue Weng, only Xue Guwu, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, has not had much contact.

Walking out of the Chengtian Gate, Li Xuan was about to return to the right guard with Ma Sizong and Li Rong.

Su Liangsi also walked out from under the Chengtian Gate at this time, and the two glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

The Ministry of Rites is basically set at the price, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

But it is inevitable that someone will show flaws in this battle, and Su Liangsi's opportunity will come.

……

The night was quiet, and Li Xuan, dressed in red and gold armor, returned to the Jade Dragon Garden under the escort of a team of right guard cavalry.

On this day, sitting on the right guard's subordinates, Li Xuan began to deal with all the affairs of the right guard.

Originally, many things that were handled by the Ma Si Sect were originally sent to Li Xuan.

Before, it was because Li Xuan avoided suspicion and didn't deal with the right guard matters, but now that the emperor and the Empress Wu let him sit in the office, he also handled some right guard matters with his "heart".

Turning over and dismounting, the right guard cavalry turned and returned to the ya.

Li Xuan had just entered the Jade Dragon Garden, and Li Bi had already walked up quickly, and said in a low and cautious voice: "Lord Wang, there is a secret letter to send back." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then walked quickly into the study.

In Peng Wangfu, there are some secret letters that Li Bi has no right to open.

For example, the one in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

"Zheng's!"
