Li Xian's memorial in the palace caused a shock in the court. When he finished his statement and handed over the memorial to a provincial eunuch who was coming to retreat to the side, there was no sound in the huge Xuanzheng Hall, and most of the ministers were stunned.

Of course, some people have the idea of ​​being self-protection-oriented and never say anything in such occasions to avoid causing trouble.

For the ministers who jointly submitted the memorials by Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan and others, this is a bad thing that cannot be bad. As the prince, Li Xian said in the palace that he was unwilling to inherit the throne now. He had no experience in handling the affairs of the court. This is equivalent to the faces of Dai Zhide and others who said Li Xian very well when submitting the memorials and were able to handle the duties of an emperor. This is not Li Xian's politeness. Obviously, Li Xian dared not and did not want to. His Royal Highness must have felt any risks, or was threatened by the queen Wu Zetian, so he gave up. Although Li Xian hid in the East Palace a few days ago, he hid in the East Palace.

Unwilling to see that these ministers had already made Dai Zhide and others feel panic, but they were also understood to a certain extent as Li Xian's cowardice and did not dare to express their opinions at critical moments and obtain more support. They thought that Li Xian would be forced to force the situation into a tyranny, and Li Xian would eventually be forced to agree half-support, but they did not expect that the prince would stage such a play during the court meeting, and there was no warning in advance, and he did not reveal any information to them, which caught them off guard. However, Dai Zhide and others were not good at making trouble. They were able to get into this position for a long time, and they immediately responded after being shocked.

Among these people, Dai Zhide has the best qualifications. He is also above the other people in the current position of the Political Affairs Hall. After Li Xian finished his statement, he also stood up for the first time and expressed his opinion: "I have reported to the Empress of the Heavenly Empress, the Crown Prince is benevolent and afraid of chaos in the court. Therefore, he strongly recommended that he refuse to inherit the throne! The Crown Prince is outstanding in talent, which makes me admire him very much. The benevolence of the Crown Prince is also admired by everyone. Such a great and righteous prince and extraordinary talent should help His Majesty the Emperor and Empress of the Heavenly Empress in charge of the affairs of the court. For example, His Majesty the Emperor has been sick for a long time. Many court affairs cannot be settled for a long time. The country cannot be left without a monarch for a day, and the court affairs cannot be put aside for too long, otherwise the world will be in chaos. I beg the Empress of the Heavenly Empress to make the crown prince the king and continue the throne. In order to make the world feel at ease!"

The court issued an edict last year to change the title of "Emperor, Empress". Although "Your Majesty" and "Empress" can still be referred to as "Empress" in many occasions, some people are persistent and do not want to change in private. Just like Chen Yi, they still call the Empress Wu Zetian in private, and Wu Zetian had no objection. However, at the formal court meeting, they were called "Your Majesty of the Emperor" and "Empress".

As soon as Dai Zhide came out, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan and others stepped out one after another, stood close to Dai Zhide, bowed and asked for the appointment of the prince as the king for similar reasons to avoid chaos in the world. There were also many ministers who followed these prime ministers, but there were fewer than the ministers on the joint memorial list. Those were very smooth and the situation was wrong. They were already hesitant and did not dare to follow Dai Zhide and others to express their opinions when the palace forced Wu Zetian to make a statement. Many people did not really dislike Wu Zetian's acquisition of politics. They just felt that following the joint memorial, they could force Wu Zetian to establish the prince as the emperor. The achievements of supporting the new emperor could allow them to gain a lot of political capital. Maybe this was the bargaining chip for great success.

But now the Crown Prince Li Xian stood up and asked the Empress Tian to continue to take charge of the government affairs on behalf of the emperor. Looking at Wu Zetian, there was not much movement these days, there was no abnormal movement, and the palace was also very calm. Judging from many situations, Empress Tian was confident and did not fear the force of so many ministers to force the palace. She sat behind the curtain today and couldn't see her appearance clearly, but from her performance just now, there was no sign of losing her compulsory behavior. Many signs indicate that the ministers who forced the palace must have failed.

Since the act of forcing the palace will fail, the ministers who follow the same path will definitely be unlucky. Why do those fence-type ministers who are not "involved" deeply still go to this muddy water at such critical moments and make themselves uncomfortable? Therefore, many ministers who hesitate to follow and stand up with a Chen Yan. After hesitating for a while, they finally retracted their steps and prepared to see how the situation changes first. Some people directly gave up their original plans and were about to pretend to be deaf and not express their opinions, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.

There were many people who supported Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun, and Li Yiyan who forced the palace, but there must be people who opposed them and supported Wu Zetian. The first person to stand up to refute these people's forced the palace was the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall. It was not someone else, but Li Jingxuan. Amid the noise, Li Jingxuan walked out of the train and walked to the front of the hall. He did not look at the impatient people around him. After bowing to Wu Zetian behind the curtain in the hall, he said in a very energetic voice: "Empress Tian, ​​I am against the suggestion of letting His Highness the Crown Prince succeed to the throne at this time!"

Li Jingxuan's voice was very loud, and his roar was suddenly overwhelming the irritating voices on the side. Xuanzheng Hall also quieted for a moment, and Li Jingxuan's voice continued to sound: "Empress of the Heavenly Queen, my colleagues, if Your Majesty is still alive today, I just let Your Majesty take charge of the court affairs because of your health. One day Your Majesty recovers and will still come out to rule. When Your Majesty is still alive, you ask for the position of the crown prince and let the crown prince succeed to the throne. Where will Your Majesty and the empress be placed this time? You are threatening His Highness the crown prince's name to force His Majesty and His Majesty to pass on the throne to the crown prince, and now His Majesty has been rejected with all your might. You are still unwilling to let go. When the palace threatens the Empress of the Heavenly Queen who is in court on behalf of His Majesty, he agrees to pass on the position of the crown prince. What is the difference between you and your plot?"

Li Jingxuan's last words were harsh, and he suddenly shocked many ministers who stood up and irritated. Some of them were obviously frightened and secretly retreated, trying to sneak back to the train. What Li Jingxuan said is of course right. In terms of reputation, the queen Wu Zetian was just taking charge of the government affairs on behalf of the emperor, not really taking charge of the government. She has always done these things according to the emperor's will. In the past, Li Zhi could handle things and preside over the court meeting. When the palace announced this to the ministers many times, the emperor was still alive and had not died. Then Wu Zetian could always handle the government affairs on behalf of the people. If someone opposed the emperor's own decision and forced her to change the new king, it would naturally be equivalent to plotting rebellion. If the emperor recovered one day, how could he tolerate such a thing?

At this time, Helan Minzhi also stood up and said loudly: "Empress of the Heavenly Queen, I will discuss it! Your Majesty is still alive and his condition is gradually improving. Your Majesty is alive, but he just wants the Majesty to take charge of the court affairs to avoid chaos in the court, but he did not ask the Majesty to pass the throne to the crown prince! The Crown Prince has been newly established and has no experience in governing the country. If the throne is passed on to the crown prince now, our Tang Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos. Many achievements made before will be destroyed. The Majesty must not be forced by some people and agree to establish the Crown Prince as the new monarch! Some people in the court are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and want to force the Majesty to do wrong things in the name of threatening the prince to achieve their evil goals. He also asked the Majesty not to be forced by them and do wrong things!" Helan Minzhi said, and saluted respectfully again, ignoring the anger of other ministers at all, and retreating back to the train.

Helan Minzhi's strong offensive words annoyed many ministers. Zhang Wenguan and other ministers with a tough personality immediately stood up and retorted, accusing Helan Minzhi, who was a descendant of the Wu family, was so sarcastic to protect the status and glory of the Wu family. Helan Minzhi, who was full of energy, certainly could not tolerate others criticizing him like this, and immediately stood up again, angrily accusing the ministers who submitted the joint report of the ministers who just wanted to be ministers for their own selfish interests and gained a higher position after the new king ascended the throne, so they joined forces to force the court to make the decision to pass the throne to the crown prince. What they did was not for the sake of the people of the world and the country.

The court was in chaos, and Wu Zetian, who had not said anything, finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily, making the ministers quiet. Helan Minzhi, Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenguan and others stopped talking unwillingly, but still glared. At this time, the Secretariat's servant Pei Yan walked out and when everyone had just calmed down, he loudly reported: "Empress of the Heavenly Queen, I have a report!"

"Tell me!" Wu Zetian's voice was still not too abnormal from usual.

After Pei Yan gave a tribute, he stood up and said loudly: "Empress, my colleagues are worried about the world and are afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to manage the government for a long time, which will lead to chaos in the court. However, Empress Tian Hu is handling the affairs of the court on behalf of Your Majesty, and is entrusted by Your Majesty. When Your Majesty is not cured, it is reasonable to take charge of the affairs of the court on his behalf. Unless Your Majesty is in a serious condition, you can consider placing it in the crown prince! If your Majesty is in a state of health, if your Majesty recovers slowly and there is a possibility of continuing to manage the government after he is cured, then the colleagues jointly submitted a memorial to ask the court to change the new monarch and do not need to discuss anything else!"

Chen Yi, who didn't want to stand up and join in the fun today, just wanted to see what the ministers performed, was very amazed after hearing Pei Yan's words. He couldn't figure out why Pei Yan said this, as if he knew Li Zhi's physical condition. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Won't Wu Zetian revealed the details to Pei Yan?" He knew that Pei Yan was promoted by Wu Zetian in the original history. Although Pei Yan was killed by Wu Zetian in the end, it still couldn't change it early. Pei Yan was Wu Zetian's iron confidant. Is there a story about him who didn't know the reason?
