Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 657 Phase Controversy (5)

At the end of Haishi, the night is getting dark, the noisy city of Chang'an has completely quieted down, the lights are gradually extinguished, and under the bleak moonlight, the whole city is dead silent, most of the people are already immersed in the In the dreamland, of course, there are always exceptions, Hao Chujun is one of them, just because he is very annoying, not just ordinary annoying, the root of everything is naturally the Empress Wu's edict.

Sealing back or letting go, it's just a matter of affixing a seal, but this seal is really not that easy to affix, from the heart, Hao Chujun absolutely does not want to let such an absurd decree be grandiose It's just that Hao Chujun can't help but feel a little palpitating when he thinks of Empress Wu's ruthlessness. In addition, there are quite a lot of disputes among subordinate officials about it. Whether they let it go or not is divided into half. Once such a situation occurs, the pressure on Hao Chujun's shoulders is invisible. After returning to the mansion, Hao Chujun didn't even feel like having dinner, so he locked himself in the study and thought about countermeasures, but he couldn't think of a suitable solution. When the solution came, the restlessness surged up in my heart, and I suddenly felt that my body was extremely hot, so I walked to the window impatiently, stretched out my hand, and pushed the window open, letting the cold wind blow my hair messily Every now and then, it is still difficult to suppress the anxiety and apprehension in my heart.

"Father, it's getting late, you should rest earlier."

Not long after Hao Chujun opened the window, the simple wooden door creaked, and a middle-aged man in a green robe and holding a lantern walked into the room, but he bowed deeply towards Hao Chujun's back, He asked for instructions very respectfully and said, this person is Hao Chujun's eldest son, Hao Xiangxian, who is currently serving as a doctor in the household department.

"Well, you go ahead, it's fine for my father."

Hao Chujun was in a state of disarray, he didn't want to rest, but faced with the eldest son's kindness, he didn't want to act recklessly, so he frowned slightly, and said impatiently.

"No, is father worried about that Feng Xiangyi?"

Hao Xiangxian promised, but his feet didn't move a little, he just bowed slightly and asked tentatively.

"It's not something you can ask, go ahead!"

Hao Chujun is a very well-behaved person, but he never discusses government affairs privately with others, even if he is facing his own eldest son, there is no exception. Hearing Hao Xiangxian's question like this, his complexion instantly sank. He scolded very politely.

"Father, that Wu Chengsi is just an ignorant and incompetent person, what can he do to take up the important position of Zhongshu Ling, this is chaos..."

Hao Xiangxian has always been an impartial and neutral faction in the court, but deep down in his heart he hates Empress Wu, the rooster who sits in the morning, but because of his father's restraint, he never dared to complain, but Facing Empress Wu's absurd will to support Wu Chengsi, Hao Xiangxian couldn't bear it anymore, so he spoke loudly.

"Enough is enough. You are no more than a sixth-rank official in this society. What virtue and ability do you have? Don't you dare to make irresponsible remarks and not step down!"

Hao Xiangxian spoke impassionedly, but Hao Chujun obviously didn't intend to listen, and before he finished speaking, he reprimanded him unceremoniously.

"promise!"

Seeing that his old father was already furious, Hao Xiangxian didn't dare to say any more, even though he felt particularly unwilling. He could only blushed and agreed, shook his head and left the study with a sigh.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Although the eldest son had been blasted away, Hao Chujun was still furious, stomped his foot on the spot angrily, and was about to curse a few more times when he heard a soft clapping sound from behind , I was startled immediately, turned around suddenly, and suddenly found that Li Xian, who was wearing night clothes, had appeared in the room at some time, and he was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Hao Xiang does not bully the dark room, he is a real gentleman!"

Li Xian didn't mind Hao Chujun's disrespect at all, and praised him with a smile.

"Ah, the old minister kowtowed to His Highness."

Hearing Li Xian speak, Hao Chujun finally came to his senses, and hurriedly asked for a big gift, see the previous section.

"Hao Xiang doesn't need to be too polite. I'm so surprised that my palace came so suddenly. I hope Hao Xiang is not to blame."

Li Xian stretched out his hand to stop Hao Chujun from paying homage, and apologized with a smile.

"Don't dare, if His Royal Highness is called, the old minister will go to listen to His Highness's teachings immediately, such a cowardly clothes, it is not the way a prince should do, and the old minister dare not take it!"

Hao Chujun has a straightforward personality, not only did he not feel honored by Li Xian's arrival, on the contrary he disapproved, frowned, and unceremoniously remonstrated.

"Xiang Hao taught the lesson that I didn't want to do this, but the situation forced me to do so. To tell you the truth, Xiang Xiang, your house is full of spies. If I come here with great fanfare, I will call Hao It's hard to do, it's a mere sympathy, please forgive me, Hao Xiang."

Li Xian didn't really want to make things like this. The problem is that Hao Chujun is now on the cusp of the limelight. If people find out about Li Xian's arrival, not only Li Xian may be punished, but even Hao Chujun may not be ashamed. Good result, so, facing Hao Chujun's persuasion, Li Xian had no choice but to apologize again with a wry smile.

"Being upright is not afraid of the shadow being crooked. The old minister has nothing to say to others, but he doesn't have much scruples. On the contrary, Your Highness is the foundation of the society. It is appropriate to act with integrity. How can you follow the actions of reckless people? Your Highness, please go back." Forget it, old minister Rong will come to the East Palace tomorrow to ask for help."

Hao Chujun is a very principled person, and also a person who accepts death relatively. Since he didn't want Li Xian's lobbying to affect his own judgment, he didn't even intend to give Li Xian a chance to speak, so he directly issued the order to expel the guest.

"Since Hao Xiang said so, he presumably knew the purpose of my palace, and I will not hide it from Hao Xiang. This palace just wanted Hao Xiang to give back that random life, but it was not because of my own selfishness, but for the sake of the community. Great righteousness! Hao Xiang is familiar with history books, and he should know the dangers of the morning cock. There is no need for me to tell you whether you want to help the evildoers, so that you will be stigmatized for thousands of years, or you can put the chaos in order, and leave a clean name in history, Hao Xiang can choose for himself!"

Li Xian is tough by nature, since he is here, it is impossible for Hao Chujun to send him away with a single word, and he doesn't care how ugly his face is. Leave room for evasion.

"Your Highness, you, this is, alas, this is an act of violation of the rules, and the old minister dare not dissuade you."

Hao Chujun was born as a Jinshi, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is well-educated, he already understood what Li Xian said, and his original wish was also to confer the title of Hui Yi, but he is also a man of principle, From a procedural point of view, Empress Wu's edict is not very different. In addition, there are many disputes among officials in the province. As a servant, it is not easy for him to make such a decision to seal back. After all, the province must be unified first. He made a decision after making an opinion. Being forced by Li Xian at this moment, he was already confused and even more confused, but he was absolutely unwilling to express his attitude at this time, so he put on a straight face and persuaded him again Li Xian said in one sentence.

"Violation? Hehe, what a violation. It is true that my palace violated the regulations when I saw Mr. Hao at such a night, but what is it like to have a rooster in court today? Has this been done since ancient times? How come you don't see Mr. Hao impeaching him?" Could it be that such an extremely absurd act of violating the rules is willingly submitting to a woman, huh?"

Li Xian sneered, and unceremoniously let out his heart-breaking words, which immediately made Hao Chujun flushed with shame, lowered his head, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Hao Xiang is a gentleman. I know it all the time. Now the Tai A is holding back. If I don't do it sooner, I'm afraid that the world will be in trouble and the whole country will fall. The life and death of my palace are small, and the innocent people are tortured and poisoned. How can Xiang Hao bear it?"

Li Xian didn't care how embarrassed Hao Chujun's face was, and didn't wait for him to open his mouth to explain. He just kept shouting and asking, and with a few words, Hao Chujun was completely cornered.

"Your Majesty's holy words, the veteran should remember it in his heart, dare not forget it, the veteran knows how to do this matter."

Hao Chujun was inclined to confer back Yizhi, but he had too many scruples. At this time, he was persecuted by Li Xian's heavy words one after another, and he was startled. Then he suddenly realized that he had been entangled in the power of Empress Wu without knowing it. Feeling ashamed, he made up his mind immediately.

"It's so good, Prime Minister Hao, please take good care of yourself, it's getting late, I'm leaving."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Xian didn't linger any longer. He nodded with great satisfaction and left a word of confession. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared.

"Ah, although the crown prince is virtuous and capable, he is close to a demon. In terms of society, he really doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse!"

Hao Chujun didn't expect Li Xian to leave without a trace, he stood dumbfounded for a while, finally, he looked up to the sky and sighed with a cloudy expression, and didn't stay in the study any longer. He dragged his feet and walked towards the direction of the marriage... The night was getting dark, Li Xian didn't want to cause anything shocking to the world, as soon as he came out of the Hao Mansion, he stretched out his body with all his strength, and headed towards the East Palace like a gust of wind They rushed there at an extremely fast speed. Under the moonlight, it was like a stream of green smoke. The eyes of ordinary people couldn't catch Li Xian's figure at all, let alone intercept it, of course. , there is always a shortage of masters in this world, although Li Xian's figure is as fast as a shooting star, but someone still noticed something wrong - not long after Li Xian flew out of Hao's mansion, he was not far away from Hao's mansion. A masked man in black suddenly appeared on a roof ten feet away, but he looked at Li Xianyuan's back with vicious eyes, and then at the dark Hao Mansion. In a blink of an eye, the man had already plundered like a night owl, leaping across the roof and rushing toward the east of the city, but he didn't notice that not long after he showed his figure, two figures appeared from the dark night. Floating out, followed behind the previous person like a ghost.
