Chapter 63: Hanguguan Night Talk (I)
On August 13 of the second year of Linde, Gaozong issued an edict to announce the world, saying that it would be at the beginning of the first month of next year to pray for the blessings of the people. As soon as this edict came out, there were many discussions in the Manchu Dynasty, some were surprised, some were amazed, and even more opposed, and the government and the opposition were discussed.
On August 14 of the second year of Lin De, the great Sikong Li Tao asked for his resignation and finally offered a responsibility, saying that the old injury recurred, it was difficult to climb the height, and there was a risk of mistakes, so he implored Gaozong to withdraw the proposal and appoint someone else.
On August 16 of the second year of Lin De, Yan Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, jointly signed this chapter on the matter of sealing Mount Tai, saying that the ancient rites cannot be abolished, and they can be easily changed, which may be disadvantageous. At the same time, Wang Dejian, the head of the household department, Hou Shanye, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Liu Yizhi of Zuo Shi, and other officials of the Wuhou Party refuted Yan and Liu Zhi's chapter, claiming that the Wuhou had made great contributions to the society, and the name of Yaxian was true, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and fought for the East Palace Xiande Palace, the prince Li Hong could not be suppressed, and the two sides then each Chen Ben in front of His Majesty, and started a lawsuit in front of the imperial court, and the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.
On August 18 of the second year of Linde, Li Xian, the king of Lu, also on the matter of sealing Zen Taishan, clearly supported the Empress Wu for Yaxian, and more than a dozen courtiers such as Yang Wu, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, attached to it.
On August 22 of the second year of Lin De, Gaozong, who had always been silent on all parties, suddenly issued a decree, announcing the edict to the world, accusing Yan Liben, Liu Xiangdao and others of rebellious and disorderly discussions, degrading Yan Liben as the deposed envoy of Henan Province, and Liu Xiangdao as the assassin of Zezhou, and the rest of the joint ministers had their own punishments, or punishments, or demotions, and so on.
In the second year of Linde, on the third day of September, Gaozong issued an edict again, and Li Xian, the king of Lulu, and Li Xian, the king of Zhou, participated in the Fengzen Taishan affair, and ordered the prince Li Hong to stay in Beijing, this edict was a moment, Li Hong, who had been defeated and lost because of the opposition to the Empress Wu, suffered a heavy setback again, and was depressed, and fell ill in bed, on the ninth day of September, Li Xian, the king of Zhou, left Beijing to go to Luoyang, and on the 14th, stayed in Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass, according to the plateau in the west, bordering the stream in the east, connecting the Qinling Mountains in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the terrain is dangerous, known as the name of "Tiankai Hangu Zhuang Pass, the Ten Thousand Valley is shocked to the north of the sky", since ancient times, it is the important place for soldiers to fight, and it is also the most well-known Xiongguan on the ancient road of Chang'an, since the Silk Road has flourished, the business travel is endless, the grand occasion of the busy traffic has never been seen before, and the lively energy is really noisy, even if it is Li Xian such a well-informed person to see, he can't help but be amazed again and again.
What is the Tang Dynasty? That's it! It is really comforting to be able to live in the first dynasty of the world! Li Xian was in a good mood, he was pleasing to the eye, standing on the high city gate tower, with a sense of satisfaction on his face, he didn't pay attention to the flattery of the local officials who accompanied him, and his eyes switched back and forth between Guanxia Sheng City and the distance of the avenue from time to time, as if he was looking forward to it, but in fact, his mind had long been out of sight.
"Your Highness, look, it's coming, it's coming!"
Just when Li Xian was distracted, Gao Miao, who was accompanying him, suddenly shouted loudly, and instantly woke Li Xian up from his reverie, looked up, and immediately saw a burst of smoke and dust rising at the far end of the avenue, and several carriages turned out of a mountain bay surrounded by a group of military horses, and drove along the ancient road towards Guancheng like a gallop, a fiery red flag fluttered in front of the team, with a huge "Li" character on it, and the emblem on the flag unmistakably showed the identity of the comer-Li Xian, the king of Lu!
Good boy, it's finally here! As soon as he saw the emblem on the Qing Banner, Li Xian's heart immediately rolled through a burst of excitement, and with a wave of his arm, he shouted: "Go, follow the lonely pass to greet the sixth brother!" As soon as the words fell, he opened his legs and strode down the city gate, and he was so excited that he could not hold himself, and when he moved, the people who were accompanying him did not dare to slack off, and they all poured down from the city in chaos.
The horse convoy looks close, but in fact it is still far away from the city, so this is the reason why the mountain runs and the dead horse is the reason, no, Li Xian waited for nearly half an hour, and the galloping horse convoy slowly stopped in front of the pass, when the curtain of a luxury carriage moved, and Li Xian, the king of Lu, had already stepped out of the car.
"Sixth brother, you are finally here, but you can wait for the little brother!"
As soon as he saw Li Xian get out of the carriage, Li Xian immediately strode forward and greeted him excitedly.
"There is a seventh brother of Lao."
Half a year is not a long time, but Li Xian's change is great, the body that is in the development period suddenly rises a section of the boss, compared to Li Xian, who has not yet developed, a whole head taller, the original green face has been tempered by local government affairs, and it has matured a lot, standing there, suddenly there is a virtuous king who looks forward to self-pride, even if a pair of eyes are flashing with excitement, but the face is still calm, and the mouth is just a simple word, and there are not too many words.
"Sixth brother, let's go, the younger brother has prepared a banquet, you and my brother have to have a good drink today." Li Xian saw that Li Xian's temperament had changed greatly, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, but he still had a warm smile on his face, and hurriedly invited.
"Okay, the seventh brother's wine brother must drink it, the seventh brother, please!"
For Li Xian's invitation, Li Xian would not refuse, smiled slightly, made a gesture of "please", and walked into Guancheng side by side with Li Xian with a smile......
The reception banquet is actually just a meaning, Li Xian and Li Xian are not greedy people, naturally it is a matter of meaning when it comes to the meaning, but after all, there are many people at the banquet, there are not only many subordinate officials of the two royal palaces, but also the local officials of Hangu, although the two brothers do not want to spend more effort on this kind of banquet, but they can only drink patiently, just like this, after a banquet, the sky is already dark, after sending away a group of officials, The two brothers who stayed in the same post finally had the opportunity to meet alone.
"Seventh brother, this incident is for your brother, and I will report it for my brother."
In an empty room in the post station, the two little brothers sat opposite each other from a few children, although their faces were a little red and tender after drinking, but their eyes were very bright, and after looking at each other calmly for a while, Li Xian took the lead in breaking the dullness and said with emotion.
Li Xian's words were extremely sincere, and there was indeed no lie, but if it wasn't for Li Xian's plan to inform the prince in time and give a clear suggestion, Li Xian would definitely not be able to make an accurate response, let alone profit from it, in other words, he could participate in the Zen Sealing Ceremony, and the opportunity to be transferred back to the Beijing Division was all arranged by Li Xian's skillful hands, otherwise, he Li Xian didn't know how long he would be the one who would have been the assassin of Qizhou, if he stayed away from the center for a long time, even if he could return to the Beijing Division, I'm afraid there won't be any drama to sing.
"The sixth brother is exaggerating, you and my brother are one, one is lost, one is prosperous, and it is fortunate that the younger brother can do something small for the sixth brother." Li Xian was not complacent because of Li Xian's thanks, smiled faintly, and replied very sincerely.
"Well, the words of the seventh brother are trustworthy for the brother, you and my brother work together, its strength is enough to break the gold, and it is a blessing for the brother to get the help of the seventh brother." After so many twists and turns, Li Xian no longer suspects that Li Xian has ulterior motives for his own association, although he is still a little vigilant, he has basically affirmed Li Xian's own identity.
"The sixth brother has an overreputation, the younger brother is just the posture of Pu Liu, he can only be driven slightly, only the power of running, it is not enough to worry about it, now the situation is particularly chaotic, everything still needs the sixth brother to be in the middle of the dispatch." As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Li Xian knew that he had basically won Li Xian's trust, and the initial plan for the development behind him was basically completed, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, but his face was a humble compliment.
"Hmm, now that master has lost a lot, it's a good time, what does the seventh brother think about this?" Li Xian didn't pay attention to Li Xian's compliment, but was more interested in the sentence "The court situation is particularly chaotic", and asked unabashedly.
Tsk, although this guy is a lot calmer than before, the acute problem still hasn't changed much, it's enough to choke! Although Li Xian's words were peaceful, Li Xian knew that he had the idea of pursuing the victory as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but said with a slight mutter: "What the sixth brother said is certainly reasonable, but in the younger brother's mind, although the person has suffered some setbacks this time, the foundation is still there, and it is not easy to shake it, and now the sixth brother has just returned to the court, it is really not appropriate to show the edge, in the eyes of the younger brother, if the sixth brother can relieve his cheeks a little in front of his father and mother, it may not be effective, of course, This is only the youngest brother's superficial opinion, and the sixth brother still needs to make an idea of how to behave. ”
"Well, let's look at it again, it's okay to leave it like this, seventh brother, after sealing Zen, it is estimated that my father will have a will, and my brother may be able to participate in the affairs of the court, can the seventh brother have any advice on this?" Hearing that Li Xian disagreed with his own proposal, Li Xian obviously frowned, was silent for a long time, and thought about Li Xian's suggestion repeatedly in his heart, and in the end, he breathed a sigh of air, and reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's proposal, but he was obviously not too reluctant in his heart, which turned the topic to practice.
Oh, this guy's competitive spirit is still so strong, interesting! As soon as Li Xian heard it, he knew that Li Xian had just been told by himself, and he was unwilling, and he wanted to find some face from the practice of the court bureau, and he laughed secretly in his heart, but Li Xian still had to give this face, even if Li Xian was actually very familiar with the practice of the imperial court, so he pretended to be silent for a while, shook his head and said: "The sixth brother is smiling, the younger brother has never experienced it, and it may be difficult to peck at this, everything is up to the decision of the sixth brother." ”
"Well, that's the same, but, according to the talent of the seventh brother, after a few years, he will be a good player." As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Li Xian suddenly felt that his face had been slightly frustrated before, so he smiled and comforted Li Xian.
"The sixth brother has a good reputation, and the younger brother is just a bastard, but I don't know where the sixth brother plans to start, and the younger brother can help with a detailed look or two, even if it is a little bit of effort." The practice of the court is not a joke, if something goes wrong, then the fun will be great, as soon as he heard that Li Xian seemed to have a plan, Li Xian's heart was full of muttering.
"Don't hide the seventh brother, for the brother to start from the household, now although Guanzhong is rich, but lack of food, unfavorable luck is also the root cause, if you can go from here, when there is a lot to do, I don't know what the seventh brother thinks?" Li Xian really had already thought about the direction of the shot, and pointed out the topic with a smile, he said it clearly, but it made Li Xian's head bigger......
