Dahan first prince

Chapter 48
"Come on!!!"

"Fork out!!!!!!"

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

Lu Zhi yelled sharply, several armored soldiers poured into the gate of the palace, and they all threw their hands at Lu Zhi.

"Here!"

With a rough promise, those soldiers wanted to go forward to arrest him, but when they saw that the person kneeling in front of Lu Zhi was actually Shen Shiqi wearing a purple ribbon and a gold seal on his waist, they became a little bit tangled up.

"how?"

"Could it be that this Weiyang Palace is not the residence of the Empress of Han?!"

"The queen's decree, you can't wait for it!!!"

There was another cry of anger, and the hall of Xuanshi fell completely silent.

Seeing this, the few soldiers could only grit their teeth and stepped forward bravely. They were about to bow their hands to Shen Shiqi to express their apology, when they heard an old-fashioned salutation from the gate of the palace.

"Prime Minister Binghou Chenhe, I would like to pay homage to the queen~"

With a hoarse salutation, Xiao He walked into the hall on his own, and bowed to Liu Ying who was beside Lu Zhi.

"I've seen it at home."

As Xiao He's figure appeared in the palace, the monstrous anger on Lu Zhi's face was finally suppressed a little with all his strength.

"Xiao Xiang."

Liu Ying also bowed her hands to Xiao He in return, then turned her body worriedly, turned her back to Xiao He, and shook her head slightly at Lu Zhi at an angle that others could not see.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lu Zhi finally took a deep breath, then tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and slowly exhaled the anger along with the stale air in his mouth.

But to Liu Ying's surprise: Seeing Xiao He's uninvited voice, Lu Zhi did not follow the etiquette and sat down with his head back, but still stood in the center of the hall with his head slightly raised.

"The sun has not yet risen, and the bright moon is in the sky. If Prime Minister Xiao doesn't go to Changle to discuss with the imperial court, how could he still be as elegant as Weiyang?"

After saying a word in a cold tone, Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes a little, and looked at Xiao He with a little alienation.

Seeing this, Xiao He couldn't help but wryly smiled secretly, but he walked forward with a slight smile on his face, and with a little effort helped Shen Shiqi up.

Waiting to be judged, Shi Qi retreated to the side of the hall with hesitation on his face, Xiao Hecai came to Lu Zhi, and his face straightened accordingly.

"At dusk yesterday, His Majesty issued an edict: At today's hour, the morning court will be held in Changxin Hall."

"The minister also heard that Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, had entered Weiyang, so he should call the prince to attend the meeting."

Saying that, Xiao He glanced calmly at Liu Ying who was beside him, and immediately bowed heavily to Lu Zhi.

"Your Majesty suspects: Your Majesty has not summoned the Empress for today's court meeting, but when the Empress hears about it, she will definitely join her in person."

"The old minister came here to remonstrate the queen, and must not meet with today's court..."

Hearing Xiao He's explanation in a gentle tone, and looking at Xiao He's calm eyes without any pretense, Lu Zhi couldn't help but stop the urge to speak, and turned his head thoughtfully.

After seeing the pleading in Liu Ying's eyes, Lu Zhi sighed secretly, and his frown was slightly loosened.

"The Prime Minister really found out about the matter of the court meeting today at sunset yesterday?"

Hearing this, Xiao He only smiled wryly and nodded: "Of course."

"Not the only minister, except Zhao Yao, the royal historian, who was ordered by His Majesty to inform the courtiers and officials, the rest of the meritorious officials, all of them knew about today's court meeting before and after the curfew yesterday..."

Hearing this, although Lu Zhi was still worried, the anxious look on his face eased a lot in a moment.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhi turned sideways deliberately, and said casually: "Xiao Xiang thinks that His Majesty is holding a court meeting today, what are you talking about?"

"Why did Your Majesty summon the prince alone to attend the meeting?"

Hearing this question, Xiao He didn't even need to raise his head, he already had a guess in his heart.

——Queen Lu Pheasant, I am afraid that she has become a little wary of herself...

Wanting to understand this point, Xiao He said almost without hesitation: "When the Supreme Emperor passed away, His Majesty ordered the ministers and the young mansion to return to Chang'an in order to raise food and grass for the army to go out."

"The preparation of food and grass is nearly finished. Your Majesty will hold a court meeting to determine the generals and the date of the expedition."

As he said that, Xiao He quickly cast his eyes at Liu Ying, and then hastily withdrew his eyes.

"And His Majesty summoned the family alone..."

"Although I don't know it, I also feel that it is inappropriate."

Speaking of this, Xiao He stopped talking for a while, looked at the people in the hall pointedly, and signaled Lu Zhi to send the others away.

However, Lu Zhi didn't seem to have seen Xiao He's hint at all, and only raised his head with a serious expression.

"Since Xiao Xiang knows that there is something wrong with the prince's participation in today's court meeting, why did he come here to admonish me not to go with him?"

When he said this, Lu Zhi's tone could not hear much guard and temptation.

It's not that Xiao He won Lu Zhi's trust with a few words, but at this time, Lu Zhi's brain has entered the rapid rotation mode.

With so many worries, under the balance of all parties, Lu Zhi couldn't care less about working hard.

Hearing Lu's pheasant's question, Xiao He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and placed all the drafts he had prepared in front of Lu's pheasant.

"One: The court councilors are proposed by the emperor, and given by hundreds of officials and marquises, and they are also used to discuss state affairs. The empress, who considers herself the master of the harem, went privately without being summoned by her majesty, which may be inappropriate."

When he said these words with a calm expression on his face, Xiao He's face took on a little solemnity.

"The queen should know that there is also a saying in the folks: men plow the fields and master the outside, women weave in the house and master the interior, men do not care about the back house, women do not care about the outdoors."

"It's the same with the peasant households, and it's the same with the state: Your Majesty controls the power of the court and governs the people of the world. The queen controls the harem and the mother respects the world. In the harem family affairs, your majesty doesn't care much; in the affairs of foreign courts, the queen is inconvenient to intervene."

Concisely expressing his opinion that 'the harem should not be involved in politics', Xiao He observed Lu Zhi's complexion for a while, and sure enough, when he saw Lu Zhi's brows, he became a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Xiao He hastily bowed again.

"Second."

"When the Supreme Emperor passed away, His Majesty wanted to change the storage, but the Empress strongly resisted it."

"Now that the army is going out to fight against Chen Xi, His Majesty has already given in to the Queen; all the Lu and Zhou Lu generals are appointed by Your Majesty as generals to suppress the rebellion."

"Your Majesty has made concessions, but if the empress persecutes her too much, I'm afraid His Majesty's majesty will be damaged."

Having said that, Xiao He finally straightened up, with a look of deep worry hanging on his face.

"In today's world, there is no one who knows His Majesty's temperament better than the Empress."

"If you annoy Your Majesty too much, the Queen should know what evil will happen..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi's complexion finally softened a little, but there was still a hint of hostility in his tone of voice.

"Xiao Xiang's words are all reasonable, but today's court discussion is too abrupt!"

"If your Majesty launches an attack due to a sudden meeting of the court, or even takes the crown prince as commander, and goes out on your majesty's behalf to put an end to the chaos of Chen Xi, what should we do?"

"If that's the case, I will protect myself, and I'm afraid I will be blocked from Changle, and I will be beyond my reach?"

After speaking, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ying again, and deep worry could not help but hang in those determined eyes.
