Someone who had never had a good night's sleep, after finishing his morning exercise, saw An Xiaohe jumping up and down with a hot and wet towel, so he didn't care that he was covered in sweat and put his slender waist in his arms, Praising An Chenghui for being sensible.
An Xiaohe didn't care about the sweat on Li Hong's body, and let Li Hong hold his waist, wiping the sweat from His Highness's face with both hands.
"Your Highness, you have to take a shower and change clothes quickly. You have to go to court today." An Xiaohe reminded him in his arms.
"Huh? Why did you tell me? Where's Pei Wanying, is she out?" Li Hong let go of An Xiaohe's waist, and they walked side by side to Lizheng Hall.
"The Queen summoned Sister Wanying and Sister Bai Chun into the palace early in the morning. After serving you in a while, I have to go over." An Xiaohe said with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Why is it so grand that all three of you are called into the palace?" Li Hong enjoyed An Xiaohe helping him change clothes and take a bath, while admiring the beauty's thin clothes, which stuck to her body after being wet by hot water. , revealing her exquisite figure.
As An Xiaohe's jade hands wandered around someone's body, An Xiaohe's face became even redder and his breathing became faster in a short while.
The clothes that were wetted and stuck to the body by the hot water, especially when An Xiaohe bent down with his back to Li Hong, those exquisite and round attractive curves made someone somewhere start to pay attention to An Xiaohe.
"I hate it." An Xiaohe slapped away Li Hong's hand that was on his body to undress, and then his smart eyes flashed with seductive light, and he slowly knelt down facing the place where someone was paying attention.
Everything was as expected by Li Hong. When the court meeting was in the middle of the meeting, Father Long broke into the Xuanzheng Hall in a furious manner and entered the ongoing court meeting.
The ministers have become accustomed to His Majesty's behavior of forcing his way into the court from time to time in the past few days. After all, Li Zhi is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the one on the high platform is just the prince overseeing the country.
Therefore, the ministers naturally had nothing to say about Li Zhi forcing his way into the court. Even the censor had no way to impeach him. They could only look at the prince who smiled helplessly on the high platform, and then silently lowered his head and allowed the emperor to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to quarrel in front of all the ministers.
The conflict between the two is still at the starting point of whether to build a palace or not, but this time Li Zhi has one more reason to accuse Li Hong, that is, because of the comfort Wu Mei and his daughter-in-law gave him last night, he It is believed that this was done deliberately by Prince Li Hong.
"You! Come here, sign and approve!" Li Zhi held yesterday's memorial in his hand, started the on-site office roll call, pointed at Shangguan Yi and ordered.
So, Zhongshu Shengzhongshu Ling Shangguanyi walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Li Zhi and glanced at Li Hong awkwardly. He took the pen from Li Zhi's hand with trembling hands. After trembling for a long time, he finally stood under Li Zhi's hand. After urging, I reluctantly gave the approval.
"Come here too, where are you hiding? Do you still take me seriously?" Li Zhi pointed at the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and snorted coldly. In the end, whether it was the Ministry of Menxia, the Ministry of Public Security, or the General Supervisor and the Ministry of Household Affairs, They all signed it.
Li Hong was speechless. He didn't know why Father Long was acting like a gangster now. The old man's style now is much more vigorous and resolute than when he was in power. He was very decisive and not as hesitant as before. .
Could it be that after taking the throne, his behavior and attitude no longer had too much influence and consideration on the court, but he became more relaxed, and the whole person was no longer bound by the throne, so he exposed his true colors
Wu Sansi is still the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wu Chengsi is still the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. At this moment, seeing all the relevant people give their approval, the two of them looked at Li Hong on the high platform in awe, and then they were full of emotions. He walked towards His Majesty the Emperor, who was looking for someone in the crowd.
But what made the two of them embarrassed in front of the ministers was that they were stopped by Li Zhi just after they took a few steps.
"You two don't have to come over. It's not you and I who have the final say at the Ministry of Works. Do you think I don't know? Even if you two have approved it, it's no different from not doing it. Where is Heng Yanfan, the right minister of the Ministry of Works? What's the matter? Didn't come to court?" Li Zhi pulled away the taller ministers in front and couldn't find Heng Yanfan in the crowd, so he looked at the red-faced Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Industry and asked.
"Go back to your Majesty, I don't know." Wu Sansi returned to his original position and said awkwardly.
But it has to be said that the two of them are just decorations in the Ministry of Industry and have no rights. The original rights in their hands were unknowingly and with the secret support of the prince, they were gradually transferred to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Hengyan. Fan.
"Hmph, I don't even know where my subordinates are, yet I still have the nerve to say that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry!" Li Zhi did not save any face for Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, who looked extremely embarrassed, and said again with words.
"Where is Heng Yanfan? What's wrong? Do you think I've embarrassed you in the court? Can't you bear to watch anymore?" Li Zhi ignored Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, stepped forward and stood in the center of the court, looking at still sitting there The prince asked on the high platform, holding his forehead as if he was embarrassed to look down.
"No, how dare I, sir." Li Hong quickly raised his head and looked at the old man and explained.
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't have the courage. Where did you hide Heng Yanfan? Find him." Li Zhi held his head high and his chest high, and his aura of looking down on the world was much stronger than when he was in charge.
"My son, I don't know. You have to ask the Ministry of Industry about this matter." Li Hong said in a dismissive way.
"They know what the hell! What do they think I don't know? By the way, I will tell your mother about this when I get back, and hand over Heng Yanfan as soon as possible." Li Zhi said impatiently.
In the end, Li Hong still couldn't get over the old man who was becoming more and more stubborn. When everything was resolved in the court, the old man took the memorial in his hand directly to the high platform and coldly snorted to Li Hong: "I told you to write a reply."
Li Hong glanced helplessly at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Now he has not had time to delegate power. A year ago, he was too eager to take back power and eliminate dissidents. Now, in the court, in terms of etiquette, etiquette, etc., it is becoming more and more difficult. looser.
Moreover, facing such an emperor now, neither the officials nor oneself would argue with an old man.
Therefore, the current scene that occurred above the court had to be said to be the result of Li Hongjiu's own actions.
After looking at Li Hong's approval with satisfaction, Li Zhi personally leaned over to pick up the memorial, walked to Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, and warned: "I fought for this for you, and I also care about you. For the sake of loyalty, I can rest assured that you will be responsible for the royal affairs."
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi took over the hot memorial with trepidation. Naturally, they had seen the scene just now. Now His Majesty has handed over this matter to these two brothers, which is obviously against the will of His Highness the Crown Prince. No, this makes their brothers feel like they are sitting on pins and needles.
This is a hot potato... No, it should be as dangerous as a hot thunder. If I follow His Majesty's holy will, then I will definitely violate His Majesty's will. As a result, the two brothers are in danger in the Ministry of Industry. His position is even more shaky.
But if he violates His Majesty's holy will and obeys His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will, it will be difficult for him to retain his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Wu Chengsi's position as Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
So, the two brothers laughed harder than they cried, holding the memorial in both hands, wishing they could find a rope to settle the matter, but don't be so angry.
Li Hong returned to the East Palace with a long sigh, but the Crown Princess and Cheng Hui in the East Palace were still in the palace and had not returned. This made Li Hong wonder, why did the three of them get together with their mother
Could it be that the queen mother also supported the father in building the palace? So we called those three mahjong rookies to the palace to play mahjong, hoping to get some funds from the three of them to build the palace
After thinking for a while, he overturned his conclusion. If the queen mother really wanted to make money by playing mahjong, Pei Wanying and An Xiaohe didn't have much money at all. Only a rich woman, Bai Chun, had money, but she didn't have much cash now.
And the Queen Mother will definitely know this. If you want to make money, you can definitely find the other three rich and famous royal princesses in Chang'an City.
While thinking about it, Li Lingyue's voice sounded outside the door, and before she could react, she had passed the palace maid and the eunuch and walked in with Shangguan Wan'er.
"What are you doing here?" Li Hong asked curiously, looking at the bouncing Li Lingyue and the shy Shangguan Wan'er next to her.
This was the second time he met Shangguan Wan'er. The first time was naturally during the Shangyuan Festival, but that time because of his mother's summons, Li Hong didn't take a close look at the talented Shangguan Wan'er.
Now Shangguan Wan'er is only one year older than Li Lingyue, and is already a fifteen-year-old girl. During this period of the Tang Dynasty, it was already possible for a matchmaker to go to the house to negotiate for her.
The slim Shangguan Wan'er had a sense of tranquility and intelligence in her body. She was not too nervous when facing herself. After saluting dignifiedly, she stood in front of Li Lingyue and stopped talking.
"I'm hungry. The Queen Mother said she had something to do, so she asked us to come to your place for dinner." Li Lingyue raised her head and was slightly shorter than Shangguan Wan'er, who was one year older than her.
Li Hong looked at these two famous beauties and talented women in history silently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There are not many women who can leave their names in the long river of history, but the two in front of me are the most famous in the long river of history." , well-known beauties with too many records, whether it is their talents that have been read in poetry and books, or their beautiful posture that confuses all living beings, or their "heroine"-like behavior in history, it seems that it can be summed up in four words: harming the country and the people. !”
