After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

At three o'clock, the court drum of Chengtianmen rang on time.

The guards of the prison slowly opened the gates of the two palaces of 'Jianfu' and 'Wangxian' as usual.

Civil and military officials have long been waiting outside the gates of the two palaces, ready to enter the Chaoshang Palace.

The Captain of the Supervisory Gate stood under the gate of the building, and "visited" all the officials who participated in the court meeting one by one. After all the identities were verified, two supervisory censors led the officials and slowly entered the palace.

Civil officials enter from the Jianfu Gate on the left, and military officers enter from the Wangxian Gate on the right!
The Jinwu Guards accompanied on both sides to maintain the order of the early dynasty.

After the ministers arrived at the Xuanzheng Gate, they entered the Xuanzheng Hall from the east and west gates, and were divided into left and right civil and military classes according to their grades.

The court meeting in the Tang Dynasty was much more enlightened than other dynasties. Officials did not need to stand, but knelt and sat on the banquet together to discuss politics!
Before the emperor went to the palace, officials could also walk around and have a short chat with each other.

Sitting in the second row, Prime Minister Li Dan gave a hache and said to Li Xian next to him:
"Third brother, why are there so many people here today? It's not even the first or fifteenth day of the junior high school!"

No wonder he asked this question. In the Tang Dynasty, Beijing officials below the fifth rank would only participate in the court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and officials above the fifth rank would go to court once every five days.

Li Xian straightened up, stretched his neck and looked back, just as the fourth brother said, the queue of civil and military classes was endless at a glance, and it was estimated that there were as many as three to four hundred officials entering the Xuanzheng Hall.

Li Xian's face was a little excited, he patted Li Dan's shoulder and said with a smile:

"If my guess is correct, the royal father summoned a group of ministers, it should be to use troops against Tubo, haha, the opportunity for us brothers to fight on the battlefield has finally come!"

"Really? I don't believe it!" Li Danpi said.

Seeing that the two younger brothers had suffered from secondary illness again, the second prince, Li Xian, curled his lips and started the daily jealousy mode:

"Idiot! Do your eyes grow at the back? Look at the person in front?"

Angrily, Li Xian followed Li Xian's words and looked forward, only to see an old man with a white beard appearing out of nowhere in the front row. He was wearing a purple court dress, kneeling and sitting in front of the three princes, and was following the crowd who came to greet him. Colleagues chat enthusiastically.

"Strange, this old man looks familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere!" Li Xian muttered to himself, resting his cheeks.

"Third brother, how can he sit in front of us? Could it be some uncle?" Li Dan asked weakly.

Li Xian rolled his eyes and taunted Li Xian, the third son, "I haven't seen the fourth son. Could it be that you haven't seen him yet? Think about it, ten years ago, on the day you were just crowned king of Zhou, he sat Behind you, remember?"

Li Xian was so angry that his face turned red, and he forcefully argued: "Who remembers what happened ten years ago? Besides, I only came to the Xuanzheng Hall once when I became king. How can I remember it so clearly!"

Li Xian was completely speechless, and reminded again: "Young sister, do you remember the full moon ceremony? That prime minister who falsely preached the imperial decree in the Hanyuan Hall, saying that he wanted to abolish the queen mother!"

"Hao Chujun!!!" Li Xian slapped his thigh and finally remembered.

His voice was loud, Hao Chujun, who was surrounded by his colleagues, looked sideways at him, and then cupped his hands.

Li Xian hurriedly returned the salute, embarrassingly apologizing.

When the other party turned his head away, Li Xian lowered his voice and asked Li Xian: "Whether he comes to the court or not, what does it have to do with whether the emperor conquers Tubo or not?"

Li Xian looked at this younger brother who was more mature than himself but stupid than a pig, rubbed his temples, and said angrily:
"You are stupid, he was promoted by his mother to be the crown prince and Taibao. Although he is a first-rank official, he has no real power. If the emperor really wants to crusade against Tubo, why would he come to join in the fun as a young Baobao!"

"That's right! Shaobao ranks among the three princes, and he doesn't need to go to court if it's not a big deal. Why does he come here to join in the fun?" Li Xian came to his senses and asked along with Li Xian's words!
"Yeah, why is he here to join in the fun?" Li Dan repeated like a repeater.

Li Xian didn't answer right away, but looked at the bright red phoenix chair behind the dragon chair, a hint of imperceptible excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Hey! You said it!" Li Xian urged.

Li Xian withdrew his gaze, adjusted his long sleeves pretendingly, and said ambiguously:

"There's nothing to say, you two just watch the show today!"

"Watching a play? What play?" Li Xian looked puzzled.

"Yeah, what show are you watching?" Li Dan looked dumbfounded.

Li Xian moved his body and took the initiative to stay away from the two brothers, but after thinking about it, he leaned in front of the two brothers again and asked tentatively:

"Third and fourth, if, I mean, if, if the mother goes to Dongdu to live permanently, are you happy?"

"Nonsense, of course... Mmmm!"

Li Xian subconsciously said what was on his mind, but his younger brother Li Dan covered his mouth.

"Brother, speak carefully, speak carefully!"

Li Xian came to his senses immediately, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and secretly called 'it's dangerous'.

"Okay, you second child, do you want to piss me off again? Asking these for no reason, what is your intention?"

Li Xian has found out what the other party is thinking, so he doesn't hide his clumsiness, and simply speaks clearly:
"Third son, with your intellect, you must have seen the clues. When your grandmother passed away, the queen mother will definitely go back to the Eastern Capital for the funeral, but going to the funeral is one thing, and attending the funeral is another. At present, so many Beijing officials are participating in the court meeting. I am afraid that the visitor is not kind, if the emperor asks our opinion, how should you and the fourth brother answer?"

Li Xian was taken aback by the question. Although he was not very intelligent, his mind was quite normal. After Li Xian said this, he immediately thought of the question of 'choosing sides'!

Although he was very eager for Empress Wu to leave Chang'an, he didn't have the courage to stand against Empress Wu.

Glancing at the officials, he said firmly: "What's the use of saying this, no one can beat the queen mother?"

"Oh! Really?" Li Xian showed a smile unconsciously. Seeing the two younger brothers looking at him, he wiped his nose in a concealed manner and stopped talking.

At this time, the inner prisoner in the apse waved a long whip and sounded the whip to send an alarm, and the officials of the Xuanzheng Hall returned to their seats and sat upright.

"His Majesty is here!"

Following Eunuch Chen's singing, Li Zhi and Empress Wu walked up to the altar from the West Gate as usual.

The only difference is that Empress Wu didn't wear makeup, her face was facing the sky, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was only wearing a white onyx suit.

The four female officials holding the fans stood on both sides of the dragon chair and the phoenix chair respectively, closed the feather fans, waited for Li Zhi and Empress Wu to sit down, and then removed the palm fans, and then the officials sang together:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the ceremony was over, a junior official of the seventh rank walked out from the tail of the civil servant camp, holding a wat board, and strode to the front of the hall.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Kangyuan, the imperial censor in the minister's palace, has something to play!"

"Zunza!" Li Zhi said lightly.

Jin Kangyuan arched towards Li Zhiyi, and said loudly with a thick voice:
"The minister is in charge of court rituals, inspects words and deeds, has always been upright and upright, and dare not slack off. However, the queen's mother has recently died, and she does not think about her filial piety, but she enters the hall with onyx clothes. , chaotic court guidelines, I beg Your Majesty to expel the queen from the palace!"
