Chapter 697: The Ministers Are All Stupid

During this night, the stars surrounded the bright moon, and when the bright moon gradually sank in the west, the moonlit night finally passed. No one knows what the emperor's family said on the palace wall, and later historians racked their brains about this period of history.

In the end, Han Yue, who was still the king of Zhao in Xifu at the time, did he confide in the emperor and empress, did the emperor and empress forgive this lie that had been deceived for many years, and what did the three of them talk about on the palace wall......

Everything is a mystery, and no one knows.

In short, this night, a family of three, quietly standing on the palace wall, drank five or six pots of wine, and heated up seven or eight dishes, when the palace gate general Li Long came to clean up the scene with a group of small palace maids, only to find that the royal three were all drunk under the table, the ground was in a mess, and the three of them were drunk.

The emperor hugged the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson hugged Han Yue's arm, and the three of them all had soft smiles on their faces, and they didn't know if they were drunk and dreamed of something.

At this time, the stars in the sky were still shining, and there was a sudden shadow on Suzaku Street in front of the palace gate, civil officials sitting in sedan chairs, military attachΓ©s riding horses, imperial relatives riding on carriages, and nobles wearing armor.

These are all ministers who came to participate in the early dynasty, and it is the first time in five years that they have come so early.

It's not early, it's not early, King Zhao of Xifu came back yesterday, if it was just to come back, but when King Zhao came back, he directly bombarded Chang'an.

Killing Intent!

All the ministers felt the killing intent!

The three guards of Xifu became tough again, and swept away the capital in one day. Dozens of high gates and large valves were scorched, and the Chang'an Great Buddha Temple became a ruin.

The stars in the night sky finally began to dim, and the eastern heavenly machine slightly revealed the white of the fish's belly, and as time slowly passed, more and more ministers gathered at the door.

In the past, during the fourth watch, the palace gate would be opened, and then the Yulin Guard would inspect the ministers who came to the court, and then send someone to lead them to the Taiji Palace.

But it seems a little strange today, the palace gate was not opened when the ministers arrived.

"What's going on? It's not the day of rest, huh? A Wenchen's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously muttered a few times.

A military general next to him coughed twice, and said with the same curiosity: "I deliberately wore armor to go to the court today, why did I suddenly encounter this situation, could it be that Your Majesty actually wants to give Xiu Mu a leave, and you should announce it in advance." ”

Today's generals all deliberately wore armor, which is a very grand etiquette of the dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty established the country with military merits, so it is not disobedient to wear armor to the dynasty. Not only is it not disobedience, but it is a great respect for the emperor.

But generals generally don't wear it, after all, a bright light armor weighs dozens of catties. It's a good thing to wear on the battlefield, but it doesn't make sense to wear it in normal times. There is no other purpose than to show etiquette.

The ministers waited for a while, and their hearts became more and more anxious, and some people even flashed bad thoughts in their minds, and secretly guessed: "Could it be that the palace is in a panic, and King Zhao is forcing the palace?" ”

But he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, so he could only put it in his heart.

Since ancient times, there has been no delay, and the sky is gradually getting brighter, but the palace door is still tightly closed.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the ministers and found that many people were whispering, the Tang Dynasty chief assistant looked a little worried, and quietly walked to the side of the crown prince Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, you come to call the door, the ministers are anxious, don't delay and wait too long." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head twice, and directly refused: "If the lonely king doesn't shout, the lonely king won't shout." The eldest brother entered the palace last night, presumably with his father and queen mother. I'm not going to bother, I'm going to call you to find someone else. ”

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, but when he caught a glimpse of Li Chengqian's determined face, the Tang Dynasty Shoufu had no choice but to sigh, arched his hand and turned around and walked towards Li Tai's side.

I didn't know that he hadn't arrived yet, Li Tai had already shook his head, and said hurriedly: "Don't come here, don't shout at this palace gate." I want to shout to you to find someone else, this king would rather wait here for a day. ”

A prince and a King of Wei, as a result, neither of them dared to call the door, and Fang Xuanling's face was full of helplessness.

"It's better for the old man to come!" Among the ministers, a person suddenly stood up, and it was Li Xiaogong, the famous hob meat prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "The king of Hejian County called the door, which is exactly what the old man wants." You are the highest ranking of the royal family present, even if you disturb the palace, you should be fine. ”

Li Xiaogong snorted, bared his teeth and said, "It's more powerful for you to shout, but you old guy can't slip." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked to the palace gate, shouting at the inside: "Li Long, you rabbit cub, did you snooze and forget to be on duty?" Look at what time it is, hurry up and open the palace door for everyone......"

This kind of shouting tone, only Li Xiaogong can do it in the Manchu Dynasty. He is a royal family, and he is also a royal family of the same generation as Li Shimin. The most important thing is that he is still Li Long's own uncle, and he is qualified to call Li Long a rabbit cub.

The next moment, Li Long's head leaked out of the palace wall, and he said with a nervous expression: "King Hejian, shout a little." ”

Just this sentence suddenly made Li Xiaogong's pupils shrink, and he subconsciously said: "Your Majesty is here?" ”

If the emperor was not here, Li Long would inevitably call him Uncle Wang, but what he called him just now was a knighthood, which was obviously the emperor by his side.

Li Long nodded, and said in a low voice: "Not only Your Majesty is here, but the Queen Mother is also here, not only the two Supremes are here, but His Royal Highness Xifu is also here." ”

Whoop -

A sound suddenly sounded under the palace wall, whether it was a minister or a general, all subconsciously stopped their waists, the ministers were busy sorting out their court clothes, and the generals also shook the armor leaves of their armor.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter on the palace wall, Li Shimin's figure swayed and appeared on the city wall, the emperor's face was drunk, he opened his mouth and burped first, and said in a daze: "It's all here, it's good, it's good, it's ...... the court, the court."

Everyone's heads are confused!

But this is not the end, there is a rickety young man behind the emperor, who doesn't know this young man, it is the king of Xifu Zhao who they respect and fear, I saw Han Yue and Li Shimin hooking shoulders and backs, and said in a daze: "Come on, come on, let's drink another one, go to the court?" On what court? Let them discuss it for themselves, and report it to you directly if there is anything to ......"

Everyone's heads are no longer confused!

"Dude? Our brothers? Everyone was stunned, almost thinking that they had misheard.

Cheng Yanjin stared at the palace wall dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he smashed his mouth and said, "How much did you drink, father and son have become brothers?" ”

At this time, the figure on the palace wall flashed again, and I saw the usually graceful and elegant queen's hair messy, and she said in a daze: "Who is here?" When you come, you will fill it together......"

Good guys, a family of three, almost the three supremes in the world, but the three of them broke at the same time, and all the calmness and grace were gone.

Fang Xuanling's head suddenly turned, and at the same time, his body also turned, and he snorted in a hurry, and ordered: "Turn around, don't look." ”

All the ministers were shocked, and immediately reacted, and everyone turned around with a bang, and some of the timid even blocked their ears.

"Let's go!" Fang Xuanling drank again and said in a deep voice: "This morning, I can't open it." ”

said that he should take the lead, and he wanted to run away in a hurry. can become the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty, this reaction is really not something that ordinary ministers can have.

Many ministers in the back were stunned for a moment, and only then did they realize that they had seen something they shouldn't have seen today, and everyone rushed to flee, and there was a mess in front of the palace gate.

"Fang Qiao, wait!" Just when everyone ran out twenty or thirty steps, Li Shimin's voice suddenly remembered on the palace wall.

The emperor was still a little dazed, but there was a big bowl of decanting soup in his hand, and Li Long behind him was carefully supporting, and several little palace maids were constantly wiping the chest of the emperor and Han Yue.

Li Shimin pushed Li Long away, swayed and insisted on standing on the edge of the wall, and said loudly: "Go to the court, go to the court here today." Whoever dares to go, you don't have to come again. ”

The ministers were stunned, and their feet couldn't help but stop.

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and finally Fang Xuanling took the lead, and everyone slowly turned around, and walked back to the palace gate towards all the civil and military officials.

In front of the palace gate, I have never heard of it.

Li Shimin seemed to be a little awake, and seemed to be a little drunk, the emperor looked at the ministers under the wall, and suddenly spit out a long breath of wine, and said: "Today, in the court, I only talk about one thing, the Tang Dynasty has stopped the imperial examination for several years, and it should be resumed again." I discussed with King Zhao of Xifu to reopen Enke this year. ”

Open the imperial examination?

The ministers looked at each other, some frowned, some were secretly happy in their hearts, and the ministers' reactions were varied, but they were all seen by Li Shimin, who was drunk and bowed.

The emperor let out a breath of wine again, and suddenly his voice became serious, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Fang Xuanling, draft the will!" ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please speak, the minister is listening." ”

Li Shimin's eyes seemed to be cloudy and profound, and he said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty has been watching for 12 years, and I want to select talents for the country. Jian pulled out the poor scholars, relieved the poor and studyed, opened the Enke, changed the rules, and all the subjects and people could participate in the territory of the twelve roads of the Tang Dynasty......"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly memorized it attentively, and several court assistants next to him also recorded it.

But when the emperor said this, he suddenly stopped, pulled Han Yue with his hand, and said loudly: "Good son, for the rest of you, for the father, there is a little drunkenness, and you forgot how to change the imperial examination system." ”

Everyone below was shocked, and someone subconsciously blurted out, stunned: "The holy decree let King Zhao say?" ”

Immediately realized that he shouldn't have talked too much, and hurriedly covered it with his hand, right?

Han Yue was pushed to the front by Li Shimin, cracked his big mouth and smiled stupidly at everyone, and then his head was slapped hard, and then he heard the drunken eldest grandson scold him: "What are you laughing at, talking." ”

"Oh, talk, speak!"

Han Yue nodded stupidly, everyone obviously looked at him with a little dull eyes, but the next moment Han Yue suddenly spoke, and what he said made people have no time to think about anything else.
