Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 145: The Ingenious Strategy to Dispel Martial Arts (1)

On September [-]th of the first year of Qianfeng, the inner court issued several imperial edicts. First, the Ming edict announced that Chen Renhao, the young Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, secretly sent people to burn the Dali Temple files and create a fake case, hoping to solve the huge case. On the way to advance, because Zhou Wang Li Xian was clearly investigating his treachery, he brazenly assassinated Changjie. After the incident was defeated, he committed suicide in fear of crime. The empress is benevolent, and she asks for it, and the limit is to destroy the whole family; second, Duan Baoxuan, the minister of Dali Temple, neglected his duties and was burdened with the grace of the saints. He should have been exiled for three thousand miles. Third, Yuan Gongyu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was not good at governing, so that Dali Temple was reborn. Hou Shanye, the Shaoqing of the temple, failed to fulfill his duties. He thought that he had not been in office for a long time, so he was fined half a year as a punishment; fifth, the ministers of Dali Temple, Qiu Shenfu and Wang Yi, were corrupt and perverted the law. Sixth, Li Xian, the king of Lu, awarded [-] households for his meritorious service in judging the case, with a reward of [-] taels and [-] pieces of silk.

As soon as the snowflake-like imperial edict came out, the entire court was shaken, and the court and the public were in a turmoil. There were different opinions. Most people attributed the credit for solving the huge case to the Li Xian brothers. For a time, Lu and Zhou Zhou became famous. However, those who are interested can keenly discover that many imperial edicts do not mention who should take over the Dali Temple Minister left by Duan Baoxuan after he resigned. Both the East Palace and Prince Lu’s Mansion are full of visitors, and Li Xian’s mansion is also full of people who come to visit, but everyone who comes to Zhou’s mansion will be shut down—the king of Zhou, Li Xian, is ill, and there is no way he will guest.

sick?It is indeed sick, and it is still "serious". Li Xian's illness means that he did not go out of the house for seven or eight days, let alone meeting guests, even if he did not go to the morning court, even if the impatient Li Xian came to the house in person Please, Li Xian also used his physical discomfort as an excuse to politely reject Li Xian's request to go to court to support him in competing for the position of Minister of Dali Temple. While everyone was astonished, no one could guess what kind of tricks Li Xian was playing.

Li Xian is really not pretending to be ill, because the illness is not physical, but in the heart. In a word, Li Xian has a heart disease——As soon as the edicts came out, Li Xian was keenly aware of his own illness. The calculation of dancing on the "four eggs" has gone wrong, and the other three eggs are fine, except that the rotten egg of Empress Wu may have been stepped on a crack, even if it is not completely broken, it has been crushed. If you are in an extremely dangerous situation, if you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable. Under such circumstances, how dare Li Xian participate in the competition for Dali Temple Secretary? Besides, Li Xian has already made up his mind The result of this fight, if nothing else, the new Minister of Dali Temple is likely to be Empress Wu. As for the crown prince and Li Xian, no matter how much they fight, they are still making wedding clothes for others. The more fierce the fight, the loser The possibility is higher. Because of this, Li Xian is more reluctant to join in the fun. Of course, this does not mean that Li Xian is indifferent to this matter. On the contrary, Li Xian has always paid attention to the court situation. It can even be said that it is anxiously waiting for the final result in order to implement its long-planned "expulsion of military forces".

"His Royal Highness, the court meeting has a result."

On the third day of October, at [-]:[-] p.m., it was already past lunch time, but Li Xian had no appetite at all. He was sitting in front of the desk in the study, staring blankly at the half-finished chess record. Since he was extremely bored, he saw Gao Miao rushing in from outside the room, he didn't even care to wipe off the sweat all over his face, and hurriedly yelled loudly.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Xian immediately raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he let out a soft sigh. Although he didn't ask for details, his face was full of unconcealable inquiry.

"His Royal Highness, Dali Temple Minister was changed from Da Sixian (Censor Doctor) Liu Rengui, and Minister of Criminal Affairs Liu Boying was promoted to the post of Da Sixian. Make up for it, and the Ministry of Officials will select officials to make up for it." Gao Miao knew that Li Xian was impatient, so he dared not neglect him, so he hurriedly told the details of what he knew.

Liu Rengui?Tsk, what an old villain, unexpectedly came to change the soup but not the medicine!When Li Xian heard that Liu Rengui, who was still leading troops in the front line, was appointed Minister of Dali Temple, he immediately knew that this was definitely recommended by Empress Wu, and couldn't help laughing bitterly—after a long time of trouble, except for driving away a Yuan Gongyu In addition, the gain is nothing more than the slaughter of two little ants, Qiu Shenfu and Wang Yi, and it has never really hurt the vitality of the rear party at all. In any case, this series of events can barely be regarded as a temporary conclusion, and it is time for the exorcism plan to be officially put on the table!

"Go, invite Taoist Priest Yujizi here, and say that I have something important to discuss."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Xian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and didn't make any further comments on the court proceedings, so he gritted his teeth and gave an order in a low voice.

"Ah, yes, the servant obeys."

Gao Miao was waiting for Li Xian to make arrangements for the court meeting, but he didn't expect that Li Xian didn't ask about the court meeting, he didn't even give an explanation, his thinking was obviously out of joint, he couldn't help being a little stunned, until Li Xian glanced over with dissatisfied eyes, and then answered as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurried to the backyard.

"Wait a minute, let the dining room prepare a table of noodles first, well, let's arrange it in the Linshui Pavilion in the back garden. I just want to have a drink with Taoist Yujizi, let's go." Without waiting for Gao Miao After walking out of the study, Li Xian changed his mind and moved the meeting place to the back garden.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Gao Miao couldn't figure out what Li Xian's intentions were, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly agreed and ran out of the room in a hurry.

That's all, it's dead or alive!After Gao Miao left, Li Xian sat in a daze for a long time, calculated his plan over and over again, and decided that there was nothing more to modify, so he shook his head and took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, slowly stood up straight, and walked slowly towards the back garden... The Linshui Pavilion is not that big, it is just a two-story building by the pond in the back garden, small and delicate, half-hidden Hidden among the bamboo groves, it is extremely quiet, and it is a good place to view the scenery, but the location is a bit out of the way, and Li Xian himself seldom visits here, but it is also very useful for discussing secret matters. It was also the reason why Li Xian set up the banquet here.

"Junior brother has a lot of thoughts, drinking this wine is boring, so let's talk about it, please come here, what's the matter?"

Yu Jizi is not very old, but he has been in the Jianghu for several years. He is very experienced in the Jianghu. In addition, he has the title of acting as a teacher and apprentice, but he did not show courtesy to Li Xianduo. After the three rounds, without Li Xian opening his mouth, Yu Jizi had already said something sharply.

"Hey, senior brother is wise, Xiao Wang admires him so much..." Li Xian couldn't help being happy when he heard this, and wanted to put a stack of high hats on Yujizi's head without any money.

"Stop it, stop it, junior brother should be less flattering. The more high hats are given, the more difficult things will definitely be. Well, let's talk about business. I don't dare to answer first if I become poor or not." Those who have been fooled by Li Xian several times have already learned how to be good. When they heard Li Xian's flattery, they immediately shook their hands vigorously.

Haha, this guy is not easy to cheat, so, next time try another trick!Li Xian laughed, not at all unhappy because his scheme was exposed on the spot, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "To tell the truth, brother, Xiao Wang wants to send some things to the palace, but he doesn't want people to know about them." I wonder if senior brother is sure about the source?"

"Ok?"

The imperial palace is a forbidden place, so it is not easy to enter, but Li Xian said it lightly, but Yujizi was taken aback, his hand trembled, and the wine bottle he was holding almost fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open. Looking at Li Xian like a bullfrog, his face was full of suspicion.

"Senior brother, don't panic. Xiao Wang doesn't want senior brother to do the assassination. He just wants to ask senior brother to send a few cats into the mansion. I wonder if senior brother might do it?" There is no outsider here, and Li Xian has no secrets With a little thought, he asked bluntly.

"Cat? Brother, what do you mean by this?"

When Yujizi heard that he was going to send the cat into the palace, he was immediately dumbfounded, and looked at Li Xian suspiciously for a while, seeing that Li Xian didn't look like he was joking anymore, his face slowly became serious, and he questioned carefully said a word.

"Brother, please answer Xiao Wang's question first, can this be done?"

Li Xian was not in a hurry to explain, but repeated the question carefully.

"This..." After pondering hesitantly for a while, Yujizi replied cautiously: "If you send some dead things into the palace, maybe you can barely do it. It's hard to keep Pindao, but if it's a living thing, it's very difficult, Pindao really can't guarantee that it will be able to hide it from the interrogation of many masters in the palace."

"Oh? If that's the case, the big thing can be done. Brother, don't worry. Xiao Wang has a way to make the living creature sleep for several hours. The brother just needs to take it as a dead thing." The biggest trouble in Li Xian's plan is how to quietly He quietly brought the live cat into the palace, and when he heard that Yu Jizi could do it, he was overjoyed immediately.

"Wait a minute, don't tell me what you mean by asking Chu, I don't dare to risk the crime of beheading."

Seeing Li Xian was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, Yu Jizi immediately rolled his eyes angrily, and replied angrily.

"It's true. To tell you the truth, brother, Xiao Wang's move is a last resort to save himself. If brother refuses to help, maybe in a month or so, brother should collect Xiao Wang's body." The obvious expression fell instantly, and he let out a long sigh with a sad face, and smiled wryly with hazy eyes.

"Boom"

Li Xian's scaremongering words are indeed very lethal. Poor Yujizi, a top expert, was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and the wine bottle he was holding fell to the ground...
