Although the main body of the plan to transfer the population and disperse it to various state capitals in the Tang Dynasty has been formulated. But when broken down, there are still many problems. As the actual ruler, the imperial court should consider all issues as much as possible when formulating a certain decree.

Because of this, the issuance of a government order does not happen overnight.

Seeing that Li Xian's mouth was tight, Hao Chujun smiled mysteriously and asked no more questions. To find out the answer to a question, you don't necessarily have to judge it from the words that come out of your mouth. Hao Chujun, who has been in court for many years, knows this very well.

Just look at King Yong's faint smile and you know that this is probably going to happen.

Simply, Hao Chujun stopped asking, and instead talked about Goguryeo: "Your Highness, Goguryeo, Goguryeo, although many people call Goguryeo Goryeo, but when it comes to formal address, it is more appropriate to call Goguryeo.

We have carefully planned the policy to be implemented against Goguryeo. If your Majesty wants to hear it at the court meeting later, we will report it to you. When the time comes, Your Highness may wish to check and fill in the gaps for us. If you have any questions, be sure to ask them. "

Thinking about the emperor's request to him, Li Xian smiled and agreed, but made up his mind and said nothing.

Although I don’t know why the emperor said this, I heard him right.

Soon, the carriage began to slow down, and when his body shook involuntarily, Li Xian knew that he had probably arrived outside the Jianfu Gate of Daming Palace.

Just as he was about to get off the car, he heard Hao Chujun on the opposite side say: "Why are you in such a hurry, Your Highness? The palace door has not been opened yet. If you go down at this time, it is just for the wind. Look, all smart people know what to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xian saw a face suddenly appear by the car window opposite.

Zhang Wenguan!

Zhang Wenguan, who had heard the conversation outside the carriage, chuckled and said: "His Royal Highness will probably have to go to court in the future. Remember, as long as the palace door is not open, just wait in the carriage. Lower-level officials still need to line up and be busy for a while. If I wait for someone with a higher seat, I don’t have to be so busy. If we don’t schedule a shift, they won’t dare to come in.”

This is the unspoken rule of officialdom. Li Xian quickly bowed his hand to show that he was taught. It's still very cold outside at this time. If you force yourself out before the cold willow breeze blows on your face, you're just looking for trouble for yourself.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Queen of Heaven came to the palace yesterday?"

The way the two old men squeezed their heads against the window was very funny. Li Xian suppressed his laughter and talked about what happened yesterday.

You absolutely can't talk about asking for money. You'd rather keep it known than tell it in front of others!

What surprised Li Xian was that the expressions of the two old men changed, which was a bit unexpected.

The two people were solemn at first, but after listening, their expressions relaxed a little.

Two old guys, looking very afraid of the Queen?

Seeing this scene, Li Xian understood a little bit about the current situation.

When I was living in the later generations, my understanding of history was always superficial.

The so-called history is actually just a story compiled by later generations. The authenticity of the data relied on during the collation process cannot yet be determined, let alone whether some personal belongings of the collation personnel will be mixed in during the collation process.

It is precisely because of these uncertainties that Li Xian has always used some of the history he knows as a reference, but he cannot believe it all.

Although analysis from historical records suggests that Wu Zetian's ambitions would only be revealed after Li Zhi's death, who can be 100% sure?

At least from the expressions of the two big men in the court, Li Xian discovered that at least now, the courtiers were wary of the Queen.

A good thing, this means that I will definitely gain a strong ally in the future.

Pretending not to see the expressions of the two old guys, Li Xian said, "You two, I'm afraid we have to queue up after hearing the sound of the censor organizing the queue outside."

Hearing the reminder, Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan both regained their composure, agreed with a smile, and lowered the car curtains.

Li Xian also tidied his clothes and got out of the carriage.

Opening the door curtain, a slightly cold breeze blew over.

Looking around, outside Jianfu Gate, all the officials in the court have lined up neatly, and the imperial censor is walking through them, ordering some disheveled officials to tidy up their clothes. Of course, this phenomenon only exists for low-level officials, but when it comes to the front, where officials of fourth rank and above can't see a single censor.

When serving as the censor, he was ordered to serve as the censor Zhongcheng. He accepted the minister's report and it was illegal to impeach him.

Translated, it is actually managed by people who make big reports, and officials who make small reports.

If any court official breaks the law or makes any mistakes, the censor can impeach him on the spot. But officials of fourth rank and above cannot make small reports. They need to report it to Yushi Zhongcheng, who will then make a special memorial and report it to the emperor.

Those with rank four or above are considered high-ranking officials in the court. Even if an official at this level bends the law for personal gain, the emperor will give him a lighter sentence due to his personal abilities, and his status will not be shaken so easily. Therefore, the intimidating effect of Shi Yushi only exists among low-level officials.

And now the behavior of these censors using chicken feathers as arrows should not be criticized.

After all, you are eating this bowl of rice, so you have to behave loyally.

No longer watching the show, Li Xian stepped out of the carriage with the help of the guard, and walked towards the front.

He is a prince, and according to his rank, he is the first rank. Of course, Li Xian would not be so stupid as to really treat himself as a first-class person.

You must know that this Cong Yipin actually takes advantage of the royal family. According to the title, he is Cong Yipin. But just look at Cong Yipin's official official position and you will know how fat this "Cong Yipin Prince" is.

The Prince's Taishi, the Prince's Taifu, the Prince's Taibao, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the Hussar General.

These official positions are rarely awarded to courtiers under normal circumstances, and even those with outstanding merits are rarely awarded posthumous titles.

Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan walked towards the front chatting and laughing, while Li Xian stood still at the position of the fourth-rank official.

Feeling that King Yong had stopped, Hao Chujun turned around and said in surprise: "Your Highness, what are you doing standing here? It's a great meeting now. You should stand at the head of the class."

Li Xian smiled and shook his head and said: "This king is here to observe the government. At the same time, I also want to hear about the emperor's brother. Since it is a meeting of the imperial court, there are naturally important matters to discuss, and I have not If you are qualified to participate, it is better not to occupy a place in the front row, so as not to affect everyone."

As soon as these words came out, the officials in the ranks of the fourth rank were all surprised.

This is the first time that a prince has consciously retreated to this position. To be honest, although no one has dared to say it, they actually all feel that the idle prince, even if he goes to court, should stand aside and not occupy space in front.

Because he was born into the royal family, he could naturally reach the rank of first rank, which was actually a kind of irony for all the courtiers.

But now, although King Yong didn't say it clearly, he showed respect for them. It's really...

How strange!

There is also something touching.

However, even though King Yong said this, the rules should not be messed with.

Li Chongzu, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, came out and said to Li Xian: "Don't mess around. Stand where you should. If you mess around again, come to Zongzheng Mansion later to receive your punishment!"

Zongzheng Mansion specializes in controlling and punishing members of the royal family, even if Li Xian is now King Yong.

After all, there are only a few members of the royal family who dare to refute Minister Zongzhengji, so Li Xian quickly bowed his hands and saluted, and then immediately walked forward.
