In the previous life, I would have vomited when I saw some leaders, polite corporals, and visits to the grassroots.

However, when it comes to himself, Li Xian feels that he still has to copy that routine.

No matter how effective it is, as long as you do it, it will definitely work.

Just looking at Hao Chujun's smile, Li Xian knew that his move was right.

There was no time to see what the big guys in the front row looked like. Li Xian walked to the head of the class before standing up.

The palace door was completely opened, and the eunuch somewhere shouted at the top of his lungs: "The great court meeting has begun, all ministers are entering the palace."

Hearing this voice, Li Xian set off quickly.

He had never experienced this before, but now Li Xian only felt that the leader was really Alexander, after all, he was standing at the front of a group of people.

After passing Jianfumen, although many buildings of Daming Palace still look blurry, there are torches on both sides of the road. There is no need for a guide, just follow the path marked by the torches.

After walking up a staircase, Yeonyoung Palace appears in front of you.

(This was the mainstream in the late Tang Dynasty. Yanying Hall was convenient for the emperor to go to court)

The palace door opened wide, and Li Xian stood still after walking through the court hall until he saw the innermost cushion.

After all the courtiers entered the hall, the candles were lit and the hall door was closed.

Looking at the high seat, Li Xian secretly sighed.

Throughout the ages, countless people have not only risked their own lives for this position, but also risked their lives with a large number of followers.

After all, it’s all about profit!

"The saint has arrived!"

Along with Jiang Hao's voice, Li Zhi, also wearing plain clothes, appeared.

Different from the time in the palace, Li Zhi looked at Zixiong at this time, and his majesty was in a mess.

Li Zhi sat behind the case and stretched out his hands. Jiang Hao then shouted: "The great meeting has begun, all ministers and ministers should kneel down and worship!"

bow down?

Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered that during the court meeting, the ministers still had to kneel down.

If you can't bend your knees at this time, your head will have to move. It can be fooled at the back, but not at the front.

In desperation, Li Xian had no choice but to kneel down and worship.

Although a man has gold at his knees, compared with gold and life, life is more fragrant. What's more, the environment is different, and it's really not worth it to die in one breath.

After kneeling down, you can sit down.

The Tang Dynasty was not like later TV series. When going to court, ministers could sit down and did not need to stand up unless they were discussing important matters.

Li Xiancai pulled his own cushion and knelt down to sit down. He saw Zhang Wenguan still standing in the crowd, especially conspicuous.

This means something is wrong.

Sure enough, after everyone was seated, Zhang Wenguan came out and raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask your Majesty, why do you wear plain clothes to go to court? I am a minister, and it is right for you to wear plain clothes for the sake of His Majesty the Crown Prince. But you are noble How can you, the most respected person in the world, and the biological father of His Highness the Crown Prince, wear plain clothes? I ask Your Majesty to take off your plain clothes!"

Zhang Wenguan proposed it, and immediately officials from the Ministry of Rites and Yushi all came out and shouted, "Wei Chen seconded the proposal."

Seeing that more and more people were coming, even Hao Chujun, who was next to Li Xian, sighed, stood up and joined the team.

As a result, Li Xian was confused.

To stand up and second the proposal is to go against my father, and I can't explain it clearly in terms of filial piety.

If you don't stand up, you will be in trouble with the ministers. Children are ministers, and princes are ministers. If the monarch makes mistakes, and the ministers don't point them out, they have failed to fulfill their responsibilities as ministers.

This is clearly a road blocked at both ends! No matter which one you choose, problems will arise.

I thought I was going to visit the court today, but who would have thought that I would encounter such a problem before the mat was even warmed.

When you encounter difficulty in making a choice, you should weigh the two sides and choose the side with the smaller loss.

However, this is in the court, so there is no time to think about so many things!

With no choice, Li Xian had no choice but to continue sitting.

Standing on the emperor's side at this time is the only choice when there is no way to compare.

Seeing that most of the courtiers stood up, Li Zhi, who was on the throne, first looked at Li Xian's position.

Seeing that he was still sitting in his seat, Li Zhi couldn't help but snickered.

You knew this would be the result. Do you think the court is complicated?

No!

The court is just more complicated than you think!

Encountering this kind of dilemma can only be said to be a common occurrence.

However, this boy still had some conscience and did not follow the courtiers to deal with his father.

After snickering, Li Zhi frowned, looked at the large group of courtiers below, and said: "I mourn the departure of the prince, why don't you wear plain clothes to express your condolences! You guys are so presumptuous!"

Zhang Wenguan raised his head, not afraid of the emperor's anger at all: "Your Majesty, there is a folk saying that doing good deeds during one's lifetime will increase Yang longevity and avoid damaging Yin virtue. Now you dress the prince in plain clothes with the respect of a father and the emperor, isn't it? Damage His Royal Highness the character of the Crown Prince? There are many ways to express grief, why did Your Majesty have to choose this one?"

After listening to Zhang Wenguan's words, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense.

In the past, Emperor Taizong was admonished by his ministers for wearing plain clothes because of Yu Zhang's death.

If you insist on something that has precedent, I'm afraid it will lead to the recurrence of old stories!

With no choice, Li Zhi had no choice but to stand up. Under Jiang Hao's service, he took off his plain clothes and put them aside.

Seeing that the emperor was doing well, the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.

Seeing Zhang Wenguan return to his position as if nothing had happened, Li Xian couldn't help but sweat for him.

Being in the position of a waiter is no different from having your head on your waist.

Apart from anything else, confronting the emperor from time to time is a big problem.

Everyone who has studied history textbooks knows that Wei Zheng has been remembered for thousands of years. However, many people do not know that there is a follow-up to this matter. After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin knocked down the tombstone, and it was not until he missed Wei Zheng that he erected it again.

The emperor is so moody. Although his ministers sometimes perform their duties and their advice is reasonable,...

Just when Li Xian was sighing with emotion, Hao Chujun stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Goguryeo, Wei Chen and others have found a way. To put it simply, it is to divide and resolve."

"Oh? How to separate it? My dear, you might as well explain it carefully."

Such a big thing should still be discussed in court. There are many people in the court, so you can also check for deficiencies and make up for them.

The purpose of holding the meeting is to brainstorm ideas.
