Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 170 Li Xulun's Request for Help
The tone can be set extremely high, but one has to be cautious in actions, otherwise, one will seek death. This truth is naturally well understood by Li Xian, so since the imperial decree was issued, Li Xian will not bother with Shiwei Lane anymore. Every day, except for the necessary visits to the palace to pay his respects, he didn't go anywhere. He stayed at his own house, practicing martial arts, or reading books. He seemed to be enjoying himself. The uproar of the case investigation doesn't seem to care at all.

Worry?Now Li Xian really has nothing to worry about, the clues that should be erased have already been wiped clean, the men who participated in the battle in Shiwei Lane, except for Luo Tong, the rest have been sent to the south long ago The Yangzhou sub-helm went to avoid the limelight for the time being. As for those ruffians who were captured by Yan Desheng alive, that was none of Li Xian's business. It's nothing more than Han, he doesn't know anything at all, he is worthless at all, life and death have nothing to do with Li Xian, of course, if Empress Wu's party wants to let these idlers make some false accusations, Li Xian will It will cause a headache, but, as long as Yan Desheng doesn't show up for a day, Empress Wu will definitely not dare to do such a thing. Obviously, Yan Desheng, who has been destroyed for a long time, will never have a chance to reappear. , there is nothing that can worry Li Xian.

There was nothing to worry about, but there were quite a few things to worry about. Let alone the trivial matters in his own house, the only thing that troubled Li Xian the most was that he couldn't see Zhao Qiong. It wasn't that Li Xian didn't want to go, but If you can't go, at least until the Shiwei Lane case is closed, Li Xian can't appear in Zhao's house. As for the private invitation, the risk is still too great. But there is no other way to do it except for the longing. Fortunately, since Empress Wu deliberately covered up this case, it will not be protracted if you think about it. After a while, it will be over.

Of course, the days will not speed up because people are in a good mood, but if they are in a bad mood, the days will pass slower and slower. Poor Li Xian has counted the days with his fingers several times, but only six days have passed , although the case in Lion's Tail Lane is being handled in a hurry, there is obviously no sign of closing the case. This makes Li Xian very upset, but there is nothing he can do. Because of the hard work, he finally graciously sent a bell-breaker to Li Xian——Li Xulun, who was devastated by the murder case, couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to Li Xian's mansion for help.

"Why is the eighth brother free to come to my elder brother's house today? Is the case closed?"

As soon as Li Xulun arrived, Li Xian had already guessed the reason for his visit, but he didn't intend to tell the truth, he just smiled and led him into the backyard hall. Tea, and then asked knowingly with a smile.

"No, no, no."

Li Xulun has always regarded Li Xian as a role model since he was a child, and always thought that if he got the chance, he would have to behave like Li Xian. Last time, when he took over the Lion's Tail Lane case this time, Li Xulun was full of confidence I planned to turn it into an iron case similar to Li Xiancheng's famous work—the case of Shangguanyi. Unfortunately, the wish is good, but the reality is extremely cruel. Poor Li Xulun has been living in the palace all these years. Without any experience, how can there be any clever means when encountering such a big event suddenly, after a few days of busy work, life has become thinner, but there is no clue at all, not only failed to take advantage of this opportunity to establish prestige, but also because of Unfamiliar with government affairs and often gossiped by foreign ministers, under such encounter, Li Xulun's all kinds of pride had already turned into discouragement, now hearing Li Xian's knowledge, feeling ashamed in his heart, his tender face couldn't help but blush, He stammered back, lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Xian's eyes.

"Oh? Is it so difficult? The eighth brother has suffered."

Li Xian smiled gently, and said a word of comfort.

"Seventh brother, little brother, little brother, ah, that..."

Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xulun's face immediately turned a little redder, and he wanted to ask for help, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't speak them out, and his face turned purple.

Tsk, this little guy is really thin-skinned, he can't even open his mouth to beg someone, it's embarrassing!Li Xian and Li Xulun are brothers of two lifetimes, so they know Li Xulun's temperament, but seeing him so shy, they still can't help laughing for a while, but no matter what, since Li Xulun came to the door, it's always busy Need to help, of course, before helping, Li Xian must first cover Li Xulun's words, and he must see if there is any movement on the other side of Empress Wu before making any plans. Smile.

"Seventh brother, my younger brother is stuck in the mud this time, but it is difficult to find a way out. I also hope that my seventh brother can take the time to point out the maze for my younger brother. Thank you in advance, younger brother."

Li Xulun took a sneak peek at Li Xian's face, and saw that Li Xian was smiling very kindly, the panic in his heart was greatly relieved, he mustered up his courage, and hastily said what he asked for in one breath. After finishing, the breath became chaotic, and he only cared about gasping heavily, revealing his embarrassment.

"Eighth brother doesn't need to be like this. You and I are brothers. How can I just ignore the matter of the eighth brother? It's just that this matter is the will of the father and the queen, and it involves internal prohibition. Granted, it's really not good for me to get involved, this..." Li Xian first smiled, then frowned, and said awkwardly.

"Ah, this, this..."

Li Xulun was really helpless, so he found Li Xian's mansion. He thought that if he made a request, with Li Xian's boldness, he would be willing to take the lead, but he forgot that the Tian family has its own scruples, after all Li Xian is now the prince who founded the government and established the teeth. If there is no will, it is really not suitable to participate in the case related to internal ban. If the matter is revealed, Li Xian is very likely to be impeached for the crime of "conspiring to commit crimes". The risk is not small, and at this moment Li Xianyi made this point clear, Li Xulun's enthusiasm immediately froze, and his little face wrinkled in pain.

"Eighth brother, my mother has always been wise, why don't my eighth brother ask my mother for advice?"

Seeing Li Xulun in a daze, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, and asked a question in a casual manner.

"It's so that the seventh brother can know, but the younger brother asked, but, but... Alas, the queen mother just said, 'This case is important, and there must be an early result. I was in a hurry to solve this case, but why..." Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xulun's already bitter face suddenly became more bitter, he sighed and sighed continuously, he was a man who had suffered a great grievance but had nowhere to complain The image of a bitter child.

Close the case early?Ha, sure enough!Li Xian is not a rookie like Li Xulun who doesn't understand anything. He has already grasped the meaning hidden in Empress Wu's words just by listening to it - it doesn't matter how the case ends, the key is to settle it quickly. Obviously, Empress Wu The purpose of saying this sentence is not for Li Xulun, a fool, but for Li Xian, and what is released is a signal of compromise.

"Oh, so that's it. Does the queen mother have any other orders?"

Li Xian was very thoughtful, he would not rush to make a decision just because of Li Xulun's words, but continued to ask carefully.

"No, my younger brother hopes to have it, but the queen mother doesn't give my younger brother a chance to ask again. Alas, it's hard for my younger brother to see his mother's queen these days. Seventh brother, look..."

Li Xulun shook his head in distress, and after sighing, he looked at Li Xian helplessly, as if he wanted to ask for help, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Well, that's it. Does the emperor have anything to say?"

Although Li Xian already had concerns in his heart, he still didn't intend to say it immediately, but nodded thoughtfully, and asked hesitantly.

"Father only said that there is no rush. If the case is difficult, you can give me a little more time. I didn't say anything else. Seeing that Father's complexion is not good these days, I don't dare to disturb you. I can only Come to Seventh Brother to think of a way, Seventh Brother, can you, can you help me?" At this point, Li Xulun couldn't care less about losing face, so he stood up abruptly and gave Li Xian a slap in the face. Bow, speak directly for help.

"Eighth brother doesn't need to be like this, let's make some plans for brother's good life."

Li Xian didn't get up to return the salute, but pressed his hands solemnly, signaling Li Xulun to sit down, and then ignored Li Xulun's pitiful stare, frowned slightly, and began to think deeply for himself - as early as the matter Before the announcement, Li Xian had already calculated everything. He already had relevant plans for various situations that might arise, and he was not worried that he would not be able to pass this test. The best one in the situation, Li Xian didn't ask that Empress Wu would be lenient to him in the future, but only that Empress Wu would have some scruples when she planned to play tricks on him in the future. As for whether Empress Wu would hold a grudge because of it, Li Xian did not ask I don't really care about it. One and the other are irreconcilable natural enemies. It doesn't matter whether you hate it or not. Moreover, in Li Xian's view, Empress Wu's primary goal right now can only be the crown prince, not herself. Afterwards, it may be time for Empress Wu to attack the prince. Before that, there is very little possibility of Empress Wu having an incident. But for Li Xian, it was enough, at least he could figure out a safe way to marry Zhao Qiong back home.

"Brother Seven, is there a way?"

Li Xulun waited pitifully for a long time, and finally expected Li Xian to raise his head. Before Li Xian could speak, he couldn't wait to ask a question.

"Well, there is a way, but..."

Li Xian nodded solemnly, but he stopped after talking halfway, making Li Xulun scratch his head in anxiety...
