Chapter 33 The Unexpected Person

Li Xian, who was standing at the head of the hall, never expected that Helan Minzhi would attack him as the palace, and suddenly couldn't react and stood there. He expected that his cousin would dislike him more and more. He had had several small verbal disputes before, but he did not expect that he would attack him as the palace without any signs. You must know that the verbal disputes were just because of something big and not small, and there was no actual conflict of interests, which made him confused.

As soon as Helan Minzhi finished speaking, Qiu Shenji immediately stood up and expressed his support for Chen Yi's memorial, believing that it was inappropriate for the prince to handle the memorial proposed by Wu, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue in this way. After Qiu Shenji stood up, several officials of different levels stood up one after another, expressing similar meanings, that is, Li Xian's talent and experience are not enough to handle state affairs on behalf of the emperor and the queen, and it needs to be tempered before he can do things. He begged Queen Wu Zetian to take back the power of the prince to handle court affairs on behalf of the people, so as to avoid chaos and make some wrong decisions, which harm the people of the world.

Seeing that many people stood up and expressed their controversy about what Helan Min was accused of, and these were all figures that were attracted by Wu Zetian as their confidants. Many officials have understood what happened. This is basically the move Wu Zetian made against Prince Li Xian. The purpose is to knock down Li Xian in momentum and make the prince, who was originally cowardly, give up his plan to participate in the court. The essential problem of this matter is that there is conflict and conflict between the Queen and Prince Li Xian, which is similar and affectionate. Moreover, in the past, Li Hong was already in the process of becoming the crown prince. After understanding the matter, many people were worried that another storm occurred in the court, and some people were criticized, including Prince Li Xian, and even endangered the position of Prince Li Xian. The fate of the crown prince in the Tang Dynasty was full of fate. The obedient Li Xian expressed his willingness to share the court affairs for his father and mother. In the eyes of others, Wu Zetian was not tolerated. Then, how things would develop in the future would not be expected.

Of course, there are ministers who stood up to support Li Xian. Most of them were officials of the Eastern Palace. They believed that although Li Xian's handling was not very appropriate, there was no big mistake. Forced the people to do things they were unwilling to do was a questionable thing. The prince was young and had no experience in dealing with the affairs of the court. It was normal to have any mistakes. Anyway, there was the Empress of the Heavenly Queen in the end, so it would not lead to a big mistake. As long as the prince was given another chance, he would definitely make progress after a period of training and become a qualified candidate for the crown prince.

The ministers were quarreling, and the court was full of porridge, but Wu Zetian in the hall did not express any statement, nor did he express dissatisfaction with Li Xian. However, Li Xian, who knew his mother's temperament, was already frightened. Now it was late winter and early spring, and Li Xian's forehead and body were sweating. Seeing some ministers in the hall quarreling about his affairs, he could no longer stand up. He knelt down at His Highness and admitted his mistake to Wu Zetian, saying that he was wrong in this matter and had never thought about it more. He thought that as today, there was enough food. He did not need to promote rice planting and rice-wheat cultivation techniques on a large scale, especially Jianghuai, which rarely planted rice in the past.

The approval opinion was not entirely his. It was approved by several people. The main reason was that these people were born in the north, used to wheat food and did not like to eat rice, so they opposed the promotion of rice planting in the north. They believed that the winter and spring wheat cultivation should be increased, so they motivated Li Xian to oppose this proposal. Li Xian believed that the people should not be forced to do anything, and that what they plant in the fields should be decided by themselves, so as not to arouse public grievances. They thought they would have been praised by the mother queen who always claimed to be in charge of the ruler and loved the people, but they did not expect that such a big leak would be revealed. Li Xian never dreamed that Helan Minzhi would grab this matter and accuse him at the court meeting.

During this period, he reviewed many memorials on his behalf. It can be said that most of them gave his opinions after careful consideration. He asked many people's opinions. After reviewing dozens of memorials and handing them over to Wu Zetian for re-reading, he was not criticized. Even if the comments were given by Helan Minzhi, Wu Zetian did not express anything after re-reading them. Li Xian was very surprised that such a big storm caused today. He also understood that Helan Minzhi stood up to accuse him of the matter reviewed by this memorial, and accused him of the matter reviewed by this memorial, just to find an excuse to deprive him of the power to participate in the court affairs. Everyone knows that this memorial has not been approved, which means that the opinions can be modified. Even if the opinions he criticized were completely wrong, it would not have much impact. It would be enough to correct them. But if someone "hype" this matter and accuse him of being unable to do anything, then the intention of Drunk Man is not a problem of drinking at all.

Li Xian thought for a while and realized that this was his mother's dissatisfaction with his intervention in the court affairs. He warned him, how dare he not stand up and express his opinion. After admitting his mistake and saying that he really lacked the ability to handle the court affairs, he immediately asked Wu Zetian that because of his lack of ability, he did not dare to review the memorial for his father and mother. In the future, he would read more, listen more, and learn more. When the mother felt that he had the ability, he would come to deal with the affairs on his behalf. Li Xian also expressed his self-blame many times for his wrong decision to let the mother's mother make full use of all the people in the world, and he would let the mother's mother punish him many times for his wrong decision.

Li Xian was so tactful that he even let the ministers who spoke for him stop talking again, which surprised Wu Zetian in the palace. She originally thought that Li Xian would not give in, at least she would not admit her own mistakes before she expressed her opinions, and she took the initiative to propose that she would not interfere in the court affairs. The debate in the court would continue for a while. After this leading matter occurred, there would be some deeper things, that is, Li Xian would reveal more inappropriate things to deal with the court affairs, so that Li Xian would take the initiative to admit his mistakes and give up.

However, he did not expect that when the matter started, Li Xian expressed this way. While feeling glad that his son was "sensible", he also stopped for the matter and could not regret that he could make a big deal. He could not make a big deal any more. Li Xian stood up and said that he voluntarily gave up interfering in the court, so that there would not be more ministers standing up and insisting on giving Li Xian the opportunity to supervise the country, so that she would not have the opportunity to crack down on criticism and exempt some officials from the opportunity.

Li Xian's voluntary admission of mistakes and his power to resign and deal with things not only surprised Wu Zetian, but also surprised many ministers. He originally wanted to stand up, but Yili pleaded for Li Xian hesitated. After several ministers stood up, he stated a few words, but after Li Xian stopped him, no one stood up to insist. The prince himself expressed this way, and was unwilling to cause trouble for his father and mother, and even scolded the person who asked for his life. What else did the others insist on doing? Chen Yi, who had been standing still and watching the fun without showing any intention, did not intend to express his support or opposition to Li Xian's intervention in the court affairs, was also surprised that the development of things was like this. It can only be said that Li Xian was too tactful, and it can also be said that the prince who had always acted like a good baby was afraid that he would be punished by Wu Zetian. He knew his mother too well.

It's good that things happened like this. The sudden storm in the court can be said to have ended with Li Xian's voluntary admission of his mistake, resigned, and prevented the ministers from ending his argument. Whether it was those who wanted to argue for Li Xian, or those who wanted to "stumbling" to Li Xian, those who wanted to "stumbling" Li Xian, they were unwilling to retreat. Wu Zetian also took the opportunity to "stop" the ministers' argument, saying that she would do this matter according to the prince's own wishes, but the prince is the crown prince of a country. In the future, he will definitely let him interfere in the court affairs and accumulate experience in governing the country. Experience is always accumulated slowly, so that all the ministers will not worry.

--------

Helan Minzhi's almost "dominate" performance at the court meeting surprised many people, especially those who are scheming and scheming. Chen Yi was of course worried that he was afraid that Helan Minzhi would attack him one day. Although they were close relatives' son-in-law, in the face of power, all the disguise of family affection could be torn off, and no one knew what the other party would do in the conflict of interest. Judging from Helan Minzhi's dissatisfaction with his performance during this period, Chen Yi felt that it would not take long.

In the future, there will be more conflicts with Helan Minzhi, and it will become more intense, and even fundamental conflicts may occur. Helan Minzhi has a lot of ambitions, and Chen Yi has already known this in recent years. He must be careful of his elder brother. Many times, the blows given by his closest relatives are the most deadly. Chen Yi does not want such a situation and does not want to see himself encounter such bad luck. For his family and for himself, he must start preparing.

The unexpected thing followed. On the second day of the court meeting, Chen Yi took the opportunity to escape from the government office after finishing the work, found a reason to return to his mansion, and wanted to hide in the study alone to think about yesterday's affairs and make some careful arrangements. The housekeeper Chen Zhong hurried in with a stranger and went straight to the study to find him.

When Chen Yi saw the man's dress, he recognized him as a eunuch in the palace. He did not dare to neglect him and welcomed him into the house. The man had a very handsome face. Chen Yi felt that he had never seen him before. He could not recognize the eunuch in which person the eunuch was from, and he could not tell who sent him to him. However, this man was not polite and said directly that someone who was familiar with Chen Yi asked him to move to see him.

After hearing this person's words, Chen Yi thought for a while, but did not refuse, nor did he ask any questions. After giving Chen Zhong a little order, he took a few followers to the date place and called Feng Ke to the restaurant.

This is a restaurant with a decorative style, but there are not many diners. After lunch, it looks a little quiet. After arriving at the restaurant, Chen Yi followed the waiter who led the way to the second floor and entered a private room with many people outside. After entering the private room and seeing who was waiting for him clearly, he was shocked. The person who asked him out to speak was not the person he expected, but the person he had never expected.

The one who is waiting here is actually a woman - Crown Princess Wei. (To be continued.)
