Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 134
Li Xian's carriage was walking slowly on the avenue outside the palace. It looked neither in a hurry nor slow, at first glance it seemed to be strolling on an outing, without the slightest rush that a reporter should have. As for Li Xian himself, it was even more so. His eyes were slightly closed, and he was leaning on the brocade cushion in a leisurely manner, as if he was leisurely closing his eyes and resting his mind, but the eyelashes that were shaking from time to time revealed that the waves in Li Xian's heart were actually turbulent. It's just that Li Xian's mind is not focused on the arson case in front of him-although this case is difficult, it is not impossible to solve it. No problem, Li Xian has absolute confidence in this point. What really bothers Li Xian is that Empress Wu has officially walked in front of the stage. Maybe it won't be long before that bead curtain used to hide her shame will no longer exist, "Second Saint I am afraid that the situation of facing the court" is already difficult or easier. If so, the road ahead will be even more difficult and difficult.

Since ancient times, those who have been able to become emperors are all people who have mastered the thick black school. In terms of superb level, I am afraid that no one can compare with Empress Wu. At least in Li Xian's opinion, this is the case, even if Li Xian has three generations Even if Li Xian has never been behind in the confrontation all this time, he can even gain the upper hand from time to time, but Li Xian himself knows clearly that he can't do it. It's just taking advantage of "familiarity with the direction of history". Of course, one of the reasons is that Empress Wu never really paid attention to it. Now, since history has undergone many turning points, under the flapping of the butterfly's wings, the future changes will only increase. As it gets bigger and bigger, the advantages Li Xian can have will become smaller and smaller. It is no longer enough to rely on "familiarity with history". Perhaps it will become Empress Wu's primary target. If one accidentally gets caught, the consequences will be extremely unbearable.

escape?It's just a joke, don't say that Li Xian didn't have such an idea, even if he did, how could he escape? Could it be that he fled to the desert and became a horse thief?That's really a joke in the world. Besides, as for Empress Wu and other people who are greedy for power, no matter how much Li Xian backs down, he will inevitably end up being suppressed. Could it be that the extremely miserable fate of the previous life is really going to happen again? Repeat?of course not!After being reborn with great difficulty, Li Xian didn't want to be a doormat again. It was unquestionable to stand up and fight, but when he thought of Empress Wu's evil intentions, Li Xian couldn't help feeling a little palpitating and irritable.

People in later generations think that Zhu Yuanzhang is the ancestor of spy politics, but in Li Xian's view, that is not the case. The real ancestor of spy politics should be Empress Wu, but Empress Wu does not act as openly as Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, in the previous life, the reason why Wu Zetian was able to purge political opponents on a large scale before and after he ascended the throne was due to two hands—one was the politics of cruel officials, and the other was a strict surveillance system, of course, there were black hands doing dirty work. Now, this is the rudiment of spy politics, and Li Xian has learned a lot about it in his previous life—whether it was Li Xian’s No. Obviously, the decisive battle with Empress Wu is not only a contest in the court, but also an extremely crucial part in the competition of dark forces. Now, the layout of Li Xian's dark forces has been laid out, but no matter in terms of scale or strength, They are far from enough to deal with the strong pressure from Empress Wu, and these things will not be resolved in a short while. Thinking of this, Li Xian's already annoying heart couldn't help but become even more annoyed.

No, I can't let the old villain play the game so calmly, we must try to contain the situation of "two saints coming to court", and at worst, we have to postpone this situation for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid the gods will come Don't even try to stop that old thief's rampant deeds!It's just that how to do it is tricky, oh, I have it!While Li Xian was in a daze, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, which immediately made Li Xian stand up suddenly, completely forgetting that he was in the carriage at this time. Then it hit the roof of the car, but after hearing the sound of "dong", a small horn appeared on the top of Li Xian's head, which caused Li Xian to grin his teeth and scream in pain. The guards outside didn't let the joke go.

Damn it, it hurts me to death, mother, they say that extreme joy begets sorrow, it's true!Angrily, Li Xian stretched out his hand to rub the bulge on his forehead, cursed secretly, and then, regardless of whether it hurts or not, he thought about it carefully according to the previous train of thought. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it was, the corner of his mouth He couldn't help but pull out a smug smile.

"Your Highness, the Chengtian Gate has arrived."

Just as Li was smiling contentedly, the carriage had arrived at the small square outside Chengtianmen. The impatient Gao Miao waited for the carriage to stop, so he rushed to the side of the carriage curtain and reminded him in a hasty tone.

"Oh, I see."

Hearing that the Chengtian Gate had arrived, Li Xian immediately shook his head lightly, restrained his thoughts, let out a soft groan, said yes, got out of the carriage, and was supported by Gao Miao to the ground, and walked steadily to the At the gate of the palace, a badge of invitation was handed over, and within a few moments, a decree came from the palace, ordering Li Xian to go to the Liangyi Hall to have an audience.

"The son has met the emperor father and the queen mother."

As soon as Li Xian walked into the Hall of Liangyi, he saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the top of the head, Xu Jingzong, Dai Zhide and other prime ministers were accompanying the two sides, and the faces of all the people were not very good-looking, as if they had just happened before. It was a fierce debate, but Li Xian didn't know exactly what the people were arguing about, but this was not the time to discuss it in detail, Li Xian didn't care to think about it, and hurriedly strode to the royal driver, and the gift was shown in the Tao.

"Xian'er came at the right time. I heard that you and Xian'er both went to Dali Temple. Tell me, what kind of shit happened there?" Gaozong's mood was obviously extremely bad, and his opening was full of gunpowder. , even the swear words came out, quite annoyed, of course, this is not surprising, after all, Gaozong just ordered a thorough investigation of Dali Temple in court. Bizarrely caught fire, it is not clear that this is to make Gao Zong lose face, no matter how cowardly Gao Zong is, he can't swallow such bad breath alive.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, my son did go to Dali Temple with the sixth brother. He originally wanted to carry out a thorough investigation first, but he never thought of the grounds, only to find that Dali Temple was on fire. According to reports, the burnt It is the location of the case case warehouse, and the exact loss is still being counted, and my ministers are in a hurry to ask for the imperial father's will, but there is no time to ask." Hearing that Gao Zong was very angry, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, vaguely guessing Arriving at the focus of the previous disputes, but with a look of panic on his face, he hastened to answer.

"A bunch of bastards, what use is there for me to have such mediocre officials! I don't believe that a well-behaved man would lose his temper. Check it out, check it out!" Gaozong roared in spite of the evil fire in his heart. up.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter should be investigated carefully. It's just that it's too important to be ignored. According to my concubine, since Cui Jing of Jingzhao Mansion has taken over, let him continue to investigate. Changing hands midway, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous in the investigation." As soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Empress Wu softly echoed, and pushed Cui Jing out of Jingzhao Mansion by the way.

Ask Cui Jing to investigate?Hey, thank you for being able to say it all the time, with Cui Jing's ability, you can find out something, besides, with Chen Renhao as an undercover agent, I'm afraid all the black people will become white. You are really shameless!Li Xian cursed secretly in his heart, but he was not slow in his mouth. He didn't wait for Gao Zong to speak, and interrupted him from the side: "Father Huang Mingjian, Cui Fu Yin is certainly a good hand in investigating cases, but earlier Father Huang has made an order. It would be wrong for Sixth Brother to thoroughly investigate Dali Temple, and now it is even more difficult in the middle of the process, the so-called not bothering the two masters, since Sixth Brother has arrived at Dali Temple, according to Erchen, it is better for Sixth Brother to be responsible for this case to the end."

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks His Royal Highness Zhou's words are probably inappropriate. The case of the fire should be investigated by the Jingzhao Mansion according to the law. His Royal Highness Lu has already taken over the thorough investigation. It may be difficult to solve the two cases. The old minister urges Your Majesty." Holy judge." As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Xu Jingzong stood up from the side, admonishing him tit for tat.

"Otherwise, the old minister thinks that the fire is strange, and the two cases may be related, so they should be dealt with together." Le Yanwei is the prince's confidant, and he doesn't want to see Empress Wu's party escape from this calamity, regardless of Empress Wu's face How ugly, he stood up with a big stride, loudly refuting Xu Jingzong's proposal.

"Why did Le Xiang make such a statement? Now that the case is still unclear, how could he be accused of committing a crime? Please forgive Xu for not agreeing!"

Xu Jingzong has never been an easy-going master, coupled with his self-confidence that his seniority and even ranking are above Le Yanwei, this opening is an unceremonious refutation.

"That's enough, quarrel, quarrel, quarrel, wait until I'm not here, huh?"

Seeing that the two prime ministers were about to quarrel again, Gaozong's patience had been worn out long ago, and he slapped the dragon table angrily and let out angrily.

"Father calmed down. My son thought that this matter was useless to argue about. Now that this incident has happened, the government and the public are shocked. We should find out the truth as soon as possible, so as to set the record straight, and hope that the father will make a decision as soon as possible." Zong was angry, Li Xian would not let go of such a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire, so he said something persuasive.

"What Xian'er said is very true. My intention has been decided. Xian'er will be in charge of this case, and Xian'er will assist you. I will give you ten days to solve this important case. Come and draw up an order!" In such an agitation, Gao Zong was so excited that he didn't even ask Empress Wu what he meant, and with a wave of his hand, he issued an order arbitrarily. The eunuchs did not dare to be negligent, they hurriedly offered pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and hurriedly drafted the imperial edict...
