Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 247

It was very hot in July. Even though there were two big basins of ice cubes in the room, it was still extremely hot. Both Li Xian and Li Xian were sweating profusely from the heat. More than a dozen pieces of white silk to wipe sweat had been used up, but neither of the brothers had a single complaint. They just sat and played chess silently, but seeing black and white pieces criss-cross on the chessboard, the dragons on both sides strangled into a ball, and the flames of war In the midst of the turmoil, the chess situation has reached an indissoluble white-hot level.

"Call to eat!"

During the fierce fighting, Li Xian thought he had found a great opportunity, so he slapped the white chess piece on the board hard and let out a cry of excitement.

"Sixth brother is good at writing and chess, but unfortunately, he missed a move, sharp!"

Li Xian looked at the self-satisfied Li Xian with great interest, with a slight smile on his lips, he casually dropped a piece on the chessboard, and then teased Li Xian.

"Ah... oh, I lost again, I can't play anymore, it's boring!"

As soon as Li Xian's son fell, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and after only counting, he found that his dragon spirit was not enough, and he was only short of one breath, so he couldn't help feeling discouraged, and shook his head with a wry smile, Bluntly throw in the towel.

"Chess players, Xiaodao, it's just entertainment, why care about winning or losing."

Li Xian laughed, stretched out his hand to stir the chessboard, and said casually.

"Seventh brother's words are a bit out of place. It's entertainment for you. Playing chess with you for your brother is called suffering. Confucius moved and lost. There is nothing to entertain." Li Xian said Li Xian obviously didn't like to listen to the words, rolled his eyes, and unceremoniously pointed out the root of the facts.

"Hahaha……"

Li Xian was amused by Li Xian's angry appearance and laughed, but before the laughter fell, he saw Gao Miao hurried in from the screen at the door, Li Xian immediately stopped laughing, his brows slightly As soon as he raised his hand, his inquiring eyes swept over.

"I would like to report to the two Highnesses that Liu Yizhi came again during the incident and said that His Highness is invited to go to Dali Temple for trial."

As soon as he saw Li Xian's gaze, Gao Miao didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed forward, bowed, and reported the report respectfully.

"I don't see you, just say that I'm not feeling well, and the case will be tried another day."

As soon as Gao Miao finished speaking, Li Xian replied directly without even thinking about it.

"Yes, slaves obey."

Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Gao Miao didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly responded and went to the layman.

"Wait a minute." Li Xian was not as calm as Li Xian. Seeing that Gao Miao was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted, stopped Gao Miao's footsteps, and looked at Li Xiandao with a serious look behind him. : "Seventh brother, two days have already passed the five-day deadline. If you continue to delay like this, you may be criticized."

"Sixth brother, don't worry, just wait a little longer, after all, you have to see the performance of the prince's brother first, the younger brother doesn't believe that the prince's brother can survive."

Having already received the approval letter from He Lanminzhi, Li Xian was very confident, and was worried about the issue of the deadline, so he shook his head nonchalantly, and answered casually.

"You, you really are the master who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, that's all, just count it as a brother who talks too much."

Li Xian gave a wry smile helplessly, waved Gao Miao, sent him away, and then cursed at Li Xian with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Six is ​​really right. Why should we brothers help for nothing? There is no benefit. I really dare to leave this case there. Let's see if Brother Prince is in a hurry!" Li Xian said. It's not pretending not to care, it's supported by real materials, so it's very calm.

"Your Highness, Wang Dequan and Wang Gonggong are here."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao turned back and rushed to report.

"Oh? It's really a coincidence. When you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. Go, let him come in."

Li Xian was overjoyed when he heard it, he waved his hands with a hearty laugh, and said cheerfully.

"Yes, slaves obey."

Although Gao Miao didn't know how happy Li Xian was, he could see that he was happy, and he became excited too. He hurriedly answered with a smile, turned around and left the study, and went to summon Wang Dequan without mentioning it.

At the gate of the King's Mansion, Liu Yizhi, who was dressed in a neat court uniform, stood sweating profusely at the bottom of the steps. From time to time, he glanced into the deep palace, but spent more time observing the people not far away. Wang Dequan tried to see something strange from his expression, but Wang Dequan is also a man with a deep mind, although he is very irritable, but his face is always cheerful, no matter how hard Liu Yizhi looks at it, it is difficult It was found that something was wrong.

"Eunuch Gao."

Just when Liu Yizhi guessed Wang Dequan's intention to appear here, he saw Gao Miao leading several servants out of the palace. He said hello.

"Master Liu, sorry for keeping you waiting, Haihan, Haihan."

When Gao Miao saw Liu Yizhi approaching, he didn't dare to be rude, so he hurriedly bowed his hands with a smile, and said politely and apologetically.

"Don't dare, dare not, I don't know what His Highness means..."

Although Liu Yizhi is already a member of the court, how dare he put on airs in front of Gao Miao, seeing Gao Miao salute him, he hastily retreated half a step to show that he did not dare to accept Gao Miao's salute, and said in his mouth But hurriedly asked.

"Ah, Mr. Liu Haihan, His Highness is a little ill. I'm afraid the case will not be tried today. I'm really sorry for letting Mr. Liu go for nothing." Gao Miao smiled wryly and shook his head, replying in a worried manner. road.

"This...Gao Gonggong, the deadline in the imperial decree is approaching, and the case has not yet been tried. If you fail the great trust of the Holy One, I am afraid it will be bad."

Liu Yizhi and Hou Shanye took turns to run to Yingwang's mansion in the past two days, and they have come to urge him four times, and each time they got this answer. Immediately, he couldn't hold back this old saying, so he replied threateningly.

"Hey, who's to say it's not? The time limit is really a big problem. It's just that His Highness is in poor health. I should be more considerate, right? Why don't Master Liu go to the trial first, and wait for my Highness to recover a little later? Is it possible to ask questions?"

Hearing Liu Yizhi's bad words, Gao Miao's expression darkened instantly, but he calmed down soon, and replied with a smile on his face.

Look at what Gao Miao said, Li Xian, the presiding judge, is not here, so where did the case start? Besides, it's not that Liu Yizhi doesn't want to try it. He Lanminzhi was "rescued" by the guards of the Royal Palace, but all of them were blocked by the guards of the Royal Palace mercilessly. It's not that he didn't report to Empress Wu, but it's a pity that Empress Wu didn't have a good way to deal with it. Hearing Gao Miao's obvious excuse, Liu Yizhi almost turned his nose in anger, but this place is the Palace of the King of England, so how could it be Liu Yizhi? Where Yizhi can be presumptuous, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only endure it. In desperation, he has no choice but to sigh, and cups his hands towards Gao Miao. He doesn't even bother to explain the situation and goes to his carriage.

"Gao Gonggong, it's been a long time since I saw you, and now you are becoming more and more expensive, it's really amazing."

When Liu Yizhi was negotiating with Gao Miao earlier, Wang Dequan just stood aside with a sneer on his face. It wasn't until Liu Yizhi left that Wang Dequan put on a smiling face, walked slowly to the steps, raised his head slightly, Looking at Gao Miao's growing belly with great interest, he joked with a smile.

"Well, Wang Gonggong, don't entertain a certain family. I dare to say that our family has not moved in the past few days, and my belly has grown a lot. We have not seen wealth, but it is a burden for everyone. It is better for you, every day. If we are busy, our family can only be envious."

Gao Miao and Wang Dequan had known each other for a long time, but because they were masters of each other, they often fought with each other. Every time they met, they would always taunt each other. Speaking of riches and honor made Gao Miao anxious, and he retorted that Wang Dequan could only be an errand runner.

"Haha, that's, that's, well, stop joking, is His Royal Highness here?"

Wang Dequan came to confess his sincerity this time, so he didn't want to get too stiff with Gao Miao. Although he had heard the subtext in Gao Miao's words, he deliberately pretended not to understand, and turned to the main topic with a smile.

"Please, Majesty, please!"

Gao Miao was also afraid of delaying his business, and he also didn't want to make any noise here, so he turned his body sideways, made a "please" gesture, and let Wang Dequan enter the gate of the palace.

"Go, go to the palace!"

After Liu Yi got on the carriage, he didn't order the driver to start it immediately, but hid in the carriage, and through the curtain of the carriage opened at a corner, he secretly followed the negotiation between Gao Miao and Wang Dequan, and waited until Wang Dequan entered the palace Liu Yizhi's expression changed immediately, he bit his lip, and after thinking for a moment, he gave an order through his teeth. He hurriedly shouted, raised his horsewhip, and drove the carriage out of the screen wall in front of the palace gate, and hurried along the long street towards the imperial city... "Your Majesty the King of England."

Accompanied by Gao Miao, Wang Dequan walked into the study room, and he saw Li Xian sitting behind the table with a book in his hand. In front of the son, he bowed to the end and saluted very respectfully.

"Oh? It's Eunuch Wang, what kind of wind brought you here today, Gao Miao, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you show your seat to Eunuch Wang soon." Li Xian heard the sound, as if he had just noticed Wang Dequan's As if arriving, with a kind smile on his face, he greeted him politely.

"Don't dare, dare not, this servant is here to follow His Highness the Crown Prince's order, to convey some kindness to His Highness, please His Highness to take a look."

Li Xian spoke extremely politely, but Wang Dequan didn't dare to take a seat in front of Li Xian. After thanking him a few words hastily, he took out a memorial from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, respectfully Handed it to Li Xian.

"Oh?" Li Xian seemed to be very surprised and gave a light snort. He stretched out his hand to take the memorial, opened it, and saw that it was a paper recommending Lu Wang Li Xian as the chief examiner of the next spring competition. The signer was Yan Liben, the right chancellor. He laughed, and said kindly: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I know this matter alone, and the prince's brother has a heart."

"Don't dare, His Royal Highness still has to explain, saying that he should live up to your request, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Wang Dequan bowed his body, and answered cautiously.

"Well, that's good. I would like to trouble you, Eunuch Wang, to give Gu a word, and say that the case will be tried tomorrow. Gu knows what he knows, so please ask the prince brother to prepare by himself." Now that the prince has revealed the truth, Li Xian naturally does not want to No matter how pretentious, he laughed, folded the memorial, handed it back to Wang Dequan, and made a promise calmly.

"Yes, slaves should serve themselves."

Hearing Li Xian's words, Wang Dequan's hanging heart was more than half relieved, he hurriedly took the memorial, responded respectfully, then turned around, exited the study, and went back to the East Palace to return his orders...
