After blocking Pei Yan back, Li Xian said again: "I think that the governor of Yuzhou Wei Xuanzhen, Gongsheng, is loyal to the country and dares to take on the position of Shizhong, so his talent is enough to take on the position of Shizhong."

"I wonder what you guys think?"

After saying that, Li Xian stared at Liu Rengui and others with a burning look.

He didn't even look back to ask Wu Zetian for his intention.

It seems that he did not take the major events in the "sacred edict" seriously by the Empress Dowager's words, or rather, he actually did this intentionally, trying to regain the power of the government from Wu Zetian.

Pei Shaoqing can only give him three words, which is too naive!

Young people, politics is not like this, it will kill you.

Pei Shaoqing turned his head to look at Wu Zetian again. Sure enough, Wu Zetian's face had become very ugly.

Liu Yizhi looked at Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian nodded slightly. Liu Yizhi immediately prepared to stand up and speak.

But before Liu Yizhi could get up, Guo Daju had already stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, I think this move is inappropriate!"

Pei Shaoqing shook his head and sighed again, saying that Guo Daiju, like Liu Yizhi, was the first time he participated in the Political Affairs Hall to discuss politics. With the cultivation of a politician, he would not speak easily.

Otherwise, the official who has been in vain for so many years will be in vain.

But now Guo Taiju is willing to break this convention and speak.

It can be seen that Li Xian’s proposal really touched their cheese!

Or to put it more precisely, it is the cheese that touched the prime minister's group!

You, a young emperor who had just ascended the throne, couldn't wait to appoint your father-in-law as the attendant. What do you think? Do you really think that the Tang Dynasty is the world of your Li family?

Too naive!

The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of aristocratic families!

"What's wrong?" Li Xian said angrily, "What's wrong?"

Guo Taiju said: "Wei Xuanzhen was originally just a mere military officer in Xiazhou. She was promoted to twenty levels in a row in one day and became the governor of Shangzhou. This was a great grace."

"If you take further management and save trouble, you will be worried about being promoted too quickly."

"This is probably not a good thing for the governor Wei himself or the Tang Dynasty."

What Guo Tieju said was actually very tactful. He was actually trying to say that he suddenly promoted Wei Xuanzhen to Shizhong, just like suddenly letting a beggar become a county magistrate. Can he be regarded as a beggar?

If you forcefully set up, wouldn’t it harm the common people of a county?

Did Wei Xuanzhen say that he was the talented man in the state and just let him be the minister?

"Why isn't that a good thing?" Li Xian had no political awareness of becoming an emperor at all, and he did not hesitate to fight with the prime minister himself. "It is not necessary to say that Wei Xuan himself is promoted to Shizhong. It is also a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, because I have an extra capable official to serve as the head of the branch office, and a more virtuous prime minister in the Political Affairs Hall!"

Guo Daju couldn't help it and said in a deep voice: "Are you not afraid of the coldness of the world?"

"How come this makes the hearts of the world cold?" Li Xian said, "Isn't this just right for those who are capable to be in a high position?"

At this time, Pei Yan finally spoke: "However, as far as I know, Wei Xuanzhen's political achievements in joining the army in Puzhou were mediocre, and there was no extraordinary political reputation, and the people's reputation seemed to be bad."

Li Xian was completely angry.

"So what if there is no political voice?"

"So what if the people's reputation is not good?"

"Just because he is my father-in-law, that's enough!"

Li Xian said angrily: "Is my father-in-law not worthy of being the attendant?"

Pei Shaoqing couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands, thinking that Li Xian was so lacking in political wisdom? He didn't feel that he was so stupid when he was studying in Chongwenguan before?

Pei Yan asked Li Xian calmly: "Does Your Majesty want to be nepotist?"

"What if I am appointing others as a nepotism?" Li Xian couldn't control his mouth at all. "So what if I am happy, I will send this beautiful country to Wei Xuanzhen?"

"Your Majesty is careful!"

Pei Yan changed his path with anger.

Wu Zetian's face was also dark.

Liu Yizhi, Guo Huaiju and others looked at each other.

Pei Shaoqing was also dumbfounded. When he was studying Zizhi Tongjian, he said that Li Xian was like this. He thought that it was mostly fabricated by people who wrote history books to embellish Wu Zetian.

Unexpectedly, it was true!

Li Xian can really say such brainless words.

Now, I guess I can't sit on the throne.

If there is no accident, the emperor's term may end sooner than in history.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Zetian suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "You really plan to give this country to Wei? You are so unreserving the Li Tang country that my mother is trying hard to protect?"

"My mother, I..." Seeing Wu Zetian getting angry, Li Xian suddenly became disorganized again.

He swallowed and said, "I'm just a joke."

"You have no joke!" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice, "The emperor's words are imperial edicts, and words will be fulfilled!"

Li Xian's head immediately drooped, and he said something that would make a fuss. Including you, you, and the nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, who took my words seriously?

Wu Zetian said again: "Where are the General of Jinwu Guards on the left and right?"

The left Jinwu Guard General Qiu Shenji, and the right Jinwu Guard General Yang Xuanjian, came in and said: "I am here!"

Wu Zetian pointed at Li Xian and said, "Stripped the saint's dragon robe, and threw it into another palace to wait for his death."

Yang Xuanjian was stunned when he heard this, but Qiu Shenjie replied without thinking: "Here!"

Immediately, Qiu Shenjie took two Jinwu Guards generals and stripped Li Xian of the dragon robe, then raised him up and walked quickly to His Highness Si Zheng.

"My mother!" Li Xian said in panic, "What's my fault?"

Wu Zetian said angrily: "You want to give Li Tang's country to Wei, and you still say you are innocent?"

"It's just a joke, a joke." Li Xian said, "I don't really want to give up the country to Wei."

"Even if it's a joke, you are not suitable to be an emperor." Wu Zetian said this and said to Liu Rengui and Pei Yan, "What do you think Liu Ge Lao, and Pei Ge Lao, what do you think?"

Before Liu Rengui could speak, Pei Yan rushed to say, "The Empress Dowager is wise, and I think that a saint is no longer suitable to be an emperor. The prime minister, who is talented, wise and has a decent manner, can succeed to the throne."

Guo Waiju, Wei Xuantong and others stood up and agreed, "I will discuss it."

Pei Shaoqing sighed again, Li seemed to be so defeated that no minister was willing to speak for him.

Liu Rengui might have wanted to speak for him, but when he saw so many people discussing, he stopped talking.

Wu Zetian turned around and said to Guo Zhengyi: "Ge Lao Guo, please write an edict to depose the saint as King Luling, leave Chang'an for a limited period of time and go to Luling, and the Prime Minister Li Dan will choose the day to succeed the throne."

"Here!" Guo Zheng replied with his hands crossed.

Pei Yan asked again: "Empress Dowager, then today's court discussion?"

"The court's discussion continues." Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "National affairs cannot be abolished."

What he meant is that I still have in the Tang Dynasty? What does it matter if the absence of a saint?

Speaking of this, he said: "Although the words of the saint are not desirable, there is one thing that is right. The head of the sect is indeed indispensable for a long time."

His eyes turned to Cui Zhiwen and said, "Ge Lao Cui will take over as the position of Shizhong."

According to Wu Zetian's original intention, of course, it is best to be the minister of Liu Yizhi directly.

But this is obviously impossible. First, Liu Yi's qualifications are too shallow, and second, Wu Zetian has not fully controlled the situation.

Although Xue Yuanchao has been expelled from the Political Affairs Hall and the ancestors of the Xue family have been uprooted, the Prime Minister's Alliance did not disintegrate because of this, but instead showed signs of greater unity.

This is also the support of Cui Zhiwen while Wu Zetian.

On the other hand, he also vigorously recommended the reason why Liu Yizhi entered the Political Affairs Hall.

Because Wu Zetian discovered that Pei Yan had a tendency to get away from her.

Therefore, it is necessary to support Cui Zhiwen to check and balance Pei Yan.

Sure enough, when Pei Yan heard that Wu Zetian was willing to be the attendant, Cui Zhiwen was immediately frowned and he was about to get up to object.

However, before he could get up,

However, Liu Rengui had already stood up first and said, "Old ministers are here to discuss."

After Liu Rengui's words, Wei Xuantong, Guo Zhengyi and Cen Changqian stood up and agreed: "I will discuss with you."

Now, Pei Yan had no need to object, because even if Li Yiyan and Guo Daiju both supported him, the situation could only be three to six, which was the result of being crushed.

It’s not just face to be crushed.

So Pei Yan could only shut up obediently.

"I am afraid." Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Cui Zhiwen was overjoyed, but said in a panic, "But please don't worry, I will do my best to devote my efforts to our Tang Dynasty and die."

"I believe in Mr. Cui's character and ethics."

Wu Zetian praised him and said, "Now talk about the matter of opening the Central Dharma."
