Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 14 Family Meeting
"The sons and ministers have seen the emperor father and the queen mother."

Although the three brothers have different thoughts, the shock in their hearts is all the same, but as the children of the Tian family, they are all good at covering up. He will not show his true feelings, let alone ask why Wu Meiniang appeared here, and even turn a blind eye to the situation that Wu Meiniang and Gaozong sit on the dragon bed together, which is obviously against the system, brother three One at a time, two at a time, they walked to the front of the chimney, respectfully saluted and greeted each other according to court regulations.

"Let's be flat, let's all be flat."

Looking at the three sons bowing down, Gao Zong Li Zhi's face blushed embarrassingly, his eyes were extremely complicated, there was a bit of pain, a bit of embarrassment, and more guilt, waved The voice could not help but tremble - ever since the eunuch Zhang Dekai learned about the prison case, although Gao Zong didn't know who was behind the whole thing, he had already decided to intervene. The support is not only to sympathize with Shangguanyi's unjust death, but also to give Empress Wu a warning, but he never expected that he had just driven to the Taiji Hall, and before everyone had time to sit down, Empress Wu would rush over. Without disputes, Gao Zong was completely defeated, and he could only resentfully agree that Empress Wu had the full power to decide this matter, and the feeling of guilt in his heart was unavoidable.

"Thank you, Father!"

Although the situation is still unclear, it is obviously not very good. Although the three princes have different plans, they all know that the matter is difficult, so the voice of thanking them is loud, but that's all. While standing, no one was willing to speak first, and the empty hall became strangely quiet, but the atmosphere became more and more depressed.

"Cough cough cough..."

The prince was already weak, but when he was overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere, he couldn't help but coughed lightly after standing for a while. Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely harsh on such occasions.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you move Jindun here quickly, what's the use of waiting for you, a bunch of useless waste!" Li Hong coughed just now, when Gaozong suddenly had a fit like a gunpowder He got up, and recklessly scolded the eunuchs waiting beside the hall, his voice was so severe that all the eunuchs panicked.

"Your Majesty, please calm down the fury of thunder. It's all my fault that I forgot to mention something." When Gaozong had such an outburst, not only the eunuchs panicked, but Li Hong and the three brothers were also quite astonished, and they didn't know how to deal with it. At this moment, Wu Meiniang, who was always sitting upright, suddenly smiled, and persuaded Gao Zong in a gentle voice.

"Well."

As the saying goes, ordering tofu in brine, one thing is one thing, Wu Meiniang only spoke, and the anger on Gaozong's face immediately subsided. After he hesitated for some reason, there was no other words, but his breath was a little heavier .

"En." After a group of eunuchs brought up a brocade pier, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, raised her hand, and with a soft sound, waved away all the eunuchs in the hall, and then looked at Li Hong The three brothers inspected back and forth, but they didn't rush to speak, seeing that the three brothers couldn't help but start to mutter.

The trouble is big, it seems that the worst situation is inevitable, and the current plan is to retreat to the next best thing, what a pity, what a pity!Although Li Xianren stood obediently, but his mind was running rapidly. After several calculations, he still regretted to find that the matter was beyond his control, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed—— —Early when he decided to make a fuss about the case of Shangguanyi, Li Xian had already considered all kinds of possibilities. Of course, the intervention from Empress Wu was also expected by Li Xian, but Li Xian never thought of it. Thinking that Empress Wu acted so resolutely that she was able to personally deal with Gaozong before the ministers had an audience. Now, under the power of Empress Wu who is coercing the emperor to command the princes, if she wants to realize the comprehensive comprehensive treatment of the queen party that she had planned earlier The attack strategy is absolutely impossible, and it is still uncertain whether he can cut off his arm. What is more troublesome is that Li Xian himself does not want to show up so soon, in case he becomes the key target of the Empress Wu. How to take the center of the situation has become a troublesome thing that Li Xian has to think over and over again.

"Xian'er, come on, tell mother, what's going on outside?" Just as Li Xian was thinking hard about a countermeasure, Wu Meiniang's wandering eyes fixed on him, her red lips parted lightly, and she said in an understatement. asked a question.

"what……"

As soon as Wu Meiniang finished speaking, Li Xian's small body trembled involuntarily, opened his mouth, and let out a cry, his expression was full of astonishment, obviously he was quite frightened, at least on the surface.

"Don't panic, Xian'er, mother just wants to know the reason of the matter, let's talk." Wu Meiniang was obviously satisfied with Li Xian's "performance", she waved her hand with a smile, and explained gently.

Hurry up, a little bit, but it's not as exaggerated as it appears. In fact, Li Xian had already guessed that Wu Meiniang would use herself as a breakthrough point. How to deal with Li Xian has already made up his mind, and acting like a weak person is quite similar, but he acted honestly, but he shocked Li Hong and Li Xian, two little brothers, into a cold sweat. What I'm afraid of is Li Xian's nonsense and random shirk responsibility.

What is obscenity, that's it, hey, what a pity, the battle hasn't been fought yet, and morale is gone!While Li Xian was playing the role of the weak, he never forgot to pay attention to the expressions of the people in the hall. Not only Gaozong and Li Hong were nervous at this sight, but even Li Xian, who always pretended to be proud, turned pale. They didn't even have much confidence to fight Wu Meiniang head-on, and while secretly sighing, their hearts were a little bit cold.

"I told my mother, my son, my son doesn't know much. Since the mother asked me, my son, my son..." Since he wanted to play the weak, Li Xian had played enough, so he suppressed himself. The thoughts in his heart were fluctuating, he took two steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, he stammered and opened his mouth, his eyes peeped at Wu Meiniang's face from time to time, he was completely timid and fearful.

As soon as Li Xian's petite appearance appeared, Gaozong's originally gloomy face immediately turned darker, and Li Hong's originally pale face became a little more confused. As for Li Xian, he turned red just now. The face was ready to refute Li Xian's nonsense at any time, while Wu Meiniang smiled. Although it was just a smile, the victory in the smile was obvious, but she never said anything to urge Li Xian, she just nodded to encourage him. for a moment.

"Mother Mingjian, the thing is like this." Li Xian pretended to swallow hard, and said with flickering eyes: "Today, the boy invited the sixth brother to go to the suburbs to relax, but unexpectedly, he heard that there was a change in the imperial prison. They sent people to investigate, and only then did they know that Cui Xuanzhe, the supervisory censor, actually wanted to behead Shangguan Yiman's family. The boy planned to rush into the palace to report to his father and mother, but he was afraid that it would be too late. Fortunately, the sixth brother was decisive. Leading the sons and ministers to the imperial prison, the general rescued the boss of Shangguan, and got a report, knowing that Shangguan Fu, the evil slave of the former boss of the boss, had framed a good person with no conscience. The evil slave was taken down together. After hearing the news, the prince's elder brother deeply felt that the case was serious and could not be ignored, so he led his sons and ministers and other ministers and workers to gather outside the palace, and wanted to invite his father and mother to investigate the case in detail. , it’s better to return the world’s innocence.”

Don't look at Li Xian's timid expression, but these words are unambiguous, avoiding the truth and not talking about the cause, just biting the truth of the case in one bite, the order is clear, and the tone is even more sincere Zhi, although it can't be said to be full of sensuality, but it explained all the basic facts of the facts clearly, which immediately lifted the spirits of Li Xian and brother.

"Royal father, queen mother, and the seventh brother are right. Thinking of my glorious Tang Dynasty, the world is bright and clear. There is a treacherous villain like Cui Xuanzhe who dares to dare to commit Qiao Zhao's murder. Arbitrarily framing the master with unprovoked crimes is a shame to Tang Dynasty, and we must investigate!" Li Xian was worried that Li Xian would bite people indiscriminately because of his cowardice, but he was greatly encouraged when he heard that Li Xian did not change his original intention. So he snatched it out and made a generous speech.

"Father, mother, this matter is strange and bizarre, and all the officials are shocked. If we don't investigate it in detail, it will be hard to convince everyone." Seeing that the two younger brothers have bravely stood up, Li Hong is obviously not far behind, but he is very concerned about Wu Meiniang. Li Xian's scruples are obviously far deeper than Li Xian's. Although his words are high-sounding, they are not biased, and they are not as sharp-edged as Li Xian.

"Oh? That's the case. Well, Xian'er will tell Mother about the situation in the edict prison in detail." Wu Meiniang originally thought that Li Xian, who had always been cowardly, would definitely be begging for mercy under heavy pressure. Once this happened, she He could use the momentum to cover up the case vaguely, but he never expected that Li Xian could say such an orderly word, let alone that the scholars would dare to rebound like this in front of her, and he couldn't help but The ground was a little confused, a trace of suspicion quickly flashed in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the words of Li Hong and his brother, just stared at Li Xian for a long time, and then asked a question in a flat tone.

Sharp, really spicy!As soon as Wu Meiniang said this, Li Xian had already guessed Wu Meiniang's next plan, but it was a pity that if he guessed it, he guessed it, but Li Xian had no choice but to bow down honestly no matter how reluctant he was. : "Yes, I obeyed my orders and reported to my father and mother. When the boy and the sixth elder brother arrived at the imperial prison, it was just the time for him to be executed..."

There were so many onlookers about the execution ground, it was really hard to hide anything, and Li Xian didn't dare to lie about it, so he could only narrate the whole thing, but slightly concealed the relationship between Li Xian and Li Xian. The interaction between them did not include any comments, and after talking for half a stick of incense, Li Xian's mouth inevitably became a little dry.
