Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 242 If you want to play, play it big (1)

"The sons and ministers see the father and mother!"

As soon as Li Xian turned around the screen in front of the bedroom door of Qianyuan Hall, he saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the Hu bed, face to face, seeming to be discussing something in a low voice, but they were far away. Even though Li Xian's hearing was excellent, he couldn't hear clearly. Seeing that Empress Wu's eyes had swept over, Li Xian didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed forward and bowed to greet him.

"Stay flat."

Gao Zong's complexion was obviously not very good, and a hint of worry could be seen faintly on his face, but when he saw Li Xian coming, Gao Zong still had a peaceful smile on his face, raised his hand, and gave a gentle order.

"I thank my father, Emperor Long En."

No need to think about it, Li Xian knew exactly what Gaozong's worries were. It was nothing more than Empress Wu's request. He wanted to persuade Li Xian to let the queen party members involved in the case go, but as an emperor, It's really difficult to say this obviously illegal statement. After all, although Gaozong is cowardly, he is not stupid. Of course, he is clear in his heart, but Li Xian will not be so stupid as to point it out by himself. He thanked him politely, and stood with his hands down. One faction obeyed the order, but never asked what the purpose of Gaozong's call was.

"Xian'er doesn't need to be formal, there are no outsiders here, so just be more casual."

Looking at Li Xian's tall and straight figure, Gao Zong felt very relieved, but when he thought of the mouth he was about to open, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only be forced. He waved his hand with a smile, and ordered indiscriminately.

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

Li Xian did not intend to relax at all, bowed meticulously and thanked him, and then stood up straight again, still in the incomparably tall and straight soldier posture.

"Well, does Xian'er have any opinion on Minzhi's case? Ah, I'm just asking casually. Let's talk about Xian'er for now. It's just my family members talking about it."

Seeing that Li Xian never asked the reason, Gaozong had no choice but to provoke the head himself, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, the words were incoherent, but the second thing was that the words were weak and powerless, long gone. That kind of momentum when you go crazy in the classroom.

"Father, the emperor has learned that the child has not yet taken over the case, so he doesn't know the details, so I dare not speak nonsense."

Li Xian himself hadn't figured out how to handle this case yet, so how could he come up with an idea? Besides, even if he had some ideas, it was impossible for Li Xian to tell the truth in front of these two. Li Xian could only answer Gaozong's inquiry in a business-like manner.

"Well, that's right, I'm a little impatient, hehe, Xian'er doesn't need to be nervous, just talk about how you plan to try the case."

Hearing Li Xian's obviously perfunctory words, although Gao Zong was a little dissatisfied, he didn't want to get angry. Besides, Li Xian's answer was routine, but it was not groundless nonsense. Even if Gao Zong wanted to get angry , and there was no way to get angry, I could only laugh dryly, and then asked further.

"Returning to my father's words, my son thinks that since this case is quite controversial, the trial should be done according to the law, and it should not be wronged or indulged. If it is not like this, it will be difficult to convince the public."

Knowing that Gaozong wanted the answer to be "Let everything be decided by the emperor", but Li Xian just didn't want to answer like this, and still gave the answer in a standard way.

"Okay, Xian'er's words are very kind. Mother believes that Xian'er will be able to find out the root cause, and there will be no serious grievances."

Facing Li Xian's marshmallow tactics, Gaozong had nowhere to focus. He really didn't know how to continue asking the general. In the midst of extreme embarrassment, Empress Wu had already opened his mouth to take over the conversation. Wearing a tall hat.

"The queen mother has wrongly rewarded her, and the sons and ministers should try their best to do it, and they will never dare to live up to the high hopes of the emperor father and the queen mother."

Li Xian could calmly deal with Emperor Gaozong who felt ashamed in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate Empress Wu's ruthlessness. When he saw Empress Wu go out in person, his heartstrings immediately tensed up. With a face on his face, he still answered a cliché very calmly.

"Well, that's very good, but the case is too involved, and Xian'er may be too busy alone. Mother can't bear to work too hard on Xian'er. So good, let Ximei (Liu Yizhi's word) and Shen Ning ( Hou Shanye's words) and the two of you helped each other, and the case was settled within five days, and it's not a problem if it drags on for a long time, what does Xianer think?" Empress Wu's face is not as thick as Gaozong's, she is as thick as a city wall Yes, he dared to talk nonsense with his eyes open. On the surface, he seemed to be thinking about Li Xianming, but in fact, several rounds of magic spells were unceremoniously put on Li Xian's head.

Five days?Ha, you old bastard really dare to speak, I'll fuck you, just wait and see!Li Xian was still hesitating whether he should kill Empress Wu in one fell swoop - it wasn't that Li Xian didn't want to bring down Empress Wu in one fell swoop, but he was really worried about Li Hong. Silly man, seeing Empress Wu being so aggressive at this time, the anger in his heart "babbled", but because of his skill in nourishing his energy, it never showed on his face. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his heart felt He has made a secret decision, planning to use this matter to have a big showdown with Wu Hou.

"The queen mother has an order, and the sons and ministers should follow it. This matter should not be delayed for a long time, but it may be inappropriate to close the case hastily. If there is some negligence, it may not be beautiful." Although Li Xian already had calculations in his heart, he should fight for it. But Li Xian didn't want to let it go, so he replied unhurriedly.

"It's obvious that you're worrying too much. Wherever this case goes, it's fine. It doesn't matter if it's settled earlier, it can't affect the operation of the court after all. You must know that stability is the most important thing in the society, and it can't be easily overthrown." Will of Empress Wu She was extremely firm, and Li Xian couldn't bear to be ambiguous about what she was sure of. As soon as Li Xian's words fell, she had already rejected Li Xian's request, and unceremoniously put a circle of magic spells on Li Xian's head. superior.

"Xian'er, don't worry too much, everything is up to you, I'm in charge of you, this case, um, it's better if this case is over earlier, five days is a bit shorter, but it should be enough if you count the future If it’s not possible, next time it’s better to go ahead and finish it.” Gaozong was really caring for his son, although he was afraid of guilt, he couldn’t bear Li Xian being wronged too much. Seeing that Empress Wu was persecuting him too much, he was afraid that Li Xian would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained from the sidelines After a while, the time limit was quietly relaxed—according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of the early court was a seven-day court. Of course, Gao Zong seldom followed this rule, and it often took ten days and a half months to return to the court. , When he was seriously ill, he did not go to court for several months. Although Gaozong's health showed signs of improvement, it was hard to say when the next morning court would be.

"Yes, I would like to obey my father's imperial edict."

Li Xian could feel Gaozong's kindness, but he didn't take it to heart, because Li Xian had already made up his mind about the whole matter, but he was not afraid that time would run out, let alone the two The "assistance" of the Queen's Party, but when it's time to show loyalty, Li Xian will not lose his manners, so he respectfully thanked him.

"Well, that's good. I'll give you my will later on. Don't worry."

Gaozong didn't want Li Xian to be dissatisfied with Empress Wu when the conflict between Empress Wu and the prince was not resolved. Hearing that Li Xian agreed, he made a straightforward decision without waiting for Empress Wu to express anything.

"Yes, my son complies with the order, and my son resigns."

Li Xian didn't intend to argue with Empress Wu at this moment. Hearing what Gao Zong said, he immediately bowed and said that he was exhausted. He turned around, exited the bedroom, and strode out of the palace gate.

What an old villain, play this with me, hey, you are so beautiful, if you want to play, then let's play a big one, and see who will win!As soon as he walked out of the gate of Qianyuan Hall, Li Xian's face darkened in an instant, he clenched his fists unconsciously, and secretly raised a ruthlessness.

"Your Highness, you can be regarded as coming out. Not only are the servants waiting anxiously, but the two over there are probably as anxious as ants on a hot pot."

As soon as Li Xian walked out of Zetian Gate, Gao Miao, who was wandering around not far from the gate, rushed over immediately, the thief curled his lips with a smile, and said a witty remark.

"Huh?" Li Xian heard the strange words, and looked in the direction where Gao Miao pouted, and saw Wang Dequan and Zhang Che, the two chief eunuchs, facing each other a few meters apart, with big eyes staring at each other, and a school of thought. They couldn't help but be amused, but they didn't want to be too lazy, so they strode towards the carriage parked at the corner of the square.

"His Royal Highness, my Royal Highness, please be sure to come to the house to talk about it."

Zhang Che's eyes were good, he was the first to see Li Xian's arrival, he didn't care about fighting against Wang Dequan any more, he quickly rushed to Li Xian, bowed his waist, and conveyed his master Li Xian's invitation with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, please stay. His Royal Highness has an order. Please come to the East Palace and discuss important matters."

Seeing Zhang Che running away, Wang Dequan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, hurriedly followed and ran to Li Xian, and politely announced the crown prince's orders.

These two bastards are really not fuel-efficient lamps. At this time, they are still playing such a hand. Is there any mistake?How could Li Xian not know the little Jiujiu in the heart of the two brothers, but at this moment Li Xian didn't want to meet them, so he frowned and snorted coldly: "I'm not free, we can talk about it later It's over." As soon as the words fell, regardless of the expressions of the two chief eunuchs, they lifted the curtain of the carriage, bent over and got into the carriage.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, you..."

Seeing that Li Xian rejected his master's invitation so resolutely, both Wang and Zhang panicked and opened their mouths, but Gao Miao didn't give them another chance to speak up, so he raised his hand and shouted He said: "Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, hundreds of guards from the palace surrounded the carriage and started, driving along the long street to the palace of the king of England, leaving only the two eunuch leaders Wang and Zhang dumbfounded. stupidly...
