Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 265
On July [-]th of the second year of Xianheng, when all parties were wondering when Li Xian would be able to settle the case of He Lanmin, Li Xian suddenly concluded the case quickly, but did not Go directly to Gaozong, but submit this chapter and even the confessions of all the officials to the Zhengshitang, and make the whole story of the case public in the form of Mingzhang, and the ministers of the Zhengshitang also tacitly refused to change it. One word, on the same day, he signed Li Xian's chapter and handed it over to Emperor Gaozong for review, and the case became an irreversible iron case.Although Gaozong was unwilling to accept such a punishment, he had to delay for several days for this reason. However, under the urging of his important ministers, he could only reluctantly issue an edict to approve the matter. He Lanminzhi was deposed from the title of Zhou Guogong and exiled to Leizhou; a large number of officials of the Empress Wu Party, including Hou Shanye and Jia Chaoyin involved in the case, were sacked one after another.

After handling such a big case, logically speaking, it should be regarded as a great contribution, no matter what happens, it will have a good time, even if you don't celebrate it, you should be full of complacency Forget it, but Li Xian obviously didn't have such a plan, since he wrote this chapter, he immediately took sick leave, not only ignored the court disputes after the book, he even stopped going to the morning court, leaving the gate, Ermenbumaidao was in his palace, and there was no sign of showing his head for a whole month. After disappearing, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and it goes without saying that it is a festival. No, there are still a few days before the festival, and the city of Luoyang is already full of joy. The festive season is approaching, and it is more because Gaozong issued an edict, saying that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will hold a polo match. In addition to the royal team, the folks can also participate in the selection. The winners should be rewarded. As soon as the edict came out, the dedicated royal polo field in Xiyuan was fully open, and matches were staged almost every day, and the people of the city were feasting their eyes.

Polo originated in Persia and was introduced to the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was widely spread in the Tang Dynasty. The three generations of emperors since the Tang Dynasty were all polo lovers, especially Emperor Taizong. , and held several polo matches almost every year to have fun with the people. As for Gaozong, although he seldom played games due to his weak health, he really liked watching polo matches and was interested in holding large-scale matches. Although not as enthusiastic as Emperor Taizong, there will always be a meeting every two or three years. If there is no serious health problem, Emperor Gaozong will definitely come to the scene and have fun with the people.A few years ago, due to his serious illness, Emperor Gaozong had not held an event for four consecutive years. This year, because of Ming Chongyan's "treatment", Emperor Gaozong felt good about himself, so he started to hold the event again. The intention of the competition was announced to the world early on, and the scale of the competition can be described as unprecedentedly large.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be effective at the bottom. Under the leadership of three generations of emperors, polo was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. From the dignitaries to the common people, everyone talked about polo in a logical manner. The only ones who start the entire polo team are those extremely noble ones. As for the ordinary subjects, the focus is on participation. Looking at today’s polo players, most of them are from the military ranks. Most of them are officers and soldiers of the sixteen guards.

Li Xian's polo level is quite good, but it's not from this life, but the ability accumulated in the previous life. In this life, he occasionally plays a game with the royal guards on the small school field, and it's just a matter of course. It’s for connecting feelings, but I’m not obsessed with it, and I don’t raise a polo team like other dignitaries to show off. I don’t have any special thoughts on the Mid-Autumn Festival polo game, and I don’t plan to join in the fun, even if it is The enthusiastic Li Xian has come to invite him several times, but Li Xian is still indifferent, not to mention forming a team to participate in the competition, but he doesn't even want to watch the grand event during the main match. The case is a bit tougher, no matter what happens, you have to avoid it, right?Besides, now that Li Xianzheng is highly valued by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, Li Xian doesn't want to steal Li Xian's limelight in public, it's better to hide in his own house and make a fortune silently. It's a pity that it couldn't be realized - just the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Gaozong suddenly issued an edict to Li Xian, saying that the polo match is a grand event for the people to enjoy together, and one must not miss it for no reason.

Such a decree is obviously not right, and there is something strange in it, but Li Xian can't figure out the meaning behind Gaozong's order for a while, but anyway, since Gaozong has issued the decree, this Xiyuan Li Obviously, he had to go for a walk no matter what, besides, after being a cat in his own house for so long, although Li Xian was naturally calm, he was a little stuffy, and it was useless to go out to catch his breath. What's more, in view of this, early in the morning, Li Xian led the officials of the whole family and a large group of maids in the room to ride in more than a dozen carriages, and rushed to Xiyuan in a mighty manner. .

"Seventh brother, seventh brother."

Li Xian arrived relatively early. When he arrived at the field, it was just dawn, but compared to Li Xian, a polo fanatic, he was quite late. In the three-storey pavilion, everyone hadn't sat down yet, when they heard the sound of the stairs, Li Xian's excited voice had already reached his ears.

"Brother Six, you are..."

Although Li Xian didn't like Li Xian very much in his heart, he couldn't do anything wrong with his big face. Li Xian heard the sound and rushed to the stairs, and saw Li Xian immediately. Xian was dressed in a purple narrow-sleeved gown, black boots on his feet, a toe on his head, and a moon-shaped club in his hand. He looked as if he was about to make his debut, and Li Xian couldn't help being stunned when he saw it.

"Why, is the seventh brother very strange? Haha, brother Wei personally led the team to win five games in a row before making it to the top four. In today's battle, brother Wei is going for the championship. Don't forget to replace brother Wei Big brother cheers." Seeing Li Xian's suspicious eyes, Li Xian couldn't help laughing triumphantly, and let out a bold statement.

"Brother Liu has such ambitions, so I should wave the flag for Brother Six, and wish Brother Six a victory." Li Xian hadn't paid much attention to this polo match, so he didn't know the progress of the game. He was in high spirits, and he didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he followed Li Xian's words and said.

"Ha, then I would like to thank the seventh brother for his good words. If you can come back with a big victory, I will buy wine for my brother and have a good drink with my seventh brother. Oh, the father is here, stop talking, let's go, and give it to the father, Queen Mother, please go." Li Xianzhen was talking vigorously, but there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside, but the holy car had arrived, and Li Xianzi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly threw the polo stick in his hand to the people who followed him closely. Zhang Che beside him waved his hand with a smile and made a gesture of please.

"Sixth brother, please."

Greeting is a great gift, Li Xian didn't dare to lose anything, so he smiled and waved his hand, walked down the stairs side by side with Li Xian, and rushed all the way to the gate of Xiyuan.

"Your servants will kowtow to the Holy One, and kowtow to the empress!"

Strictly speaking, Emperor Gaozong was not a poor and extravagant person, and he was not too particular about enjoyment. However, the emperor's travel is no small matter after all. There are nearly ten thousand soldiers, eunuchs and even palace maids. Wherever they go, the security is extremely strict. Only a few dozens of people can get close to the royal driver. Most of the officials and even the people can only be in the distance Kneeling down to pay respects is nothing more than to say that it is more appropriate to disturb the people than to please them.

"Everyone in your family is safe."

Emperor Gaozong was obviously very interested. Hearing the tsunami-like greetings from the mountains outside, he immediately ordered the attendants to roll up the curtains of the car, straightened their waists, waved their hands, and shouted proudly, side by side. Sitting next to Gao Sheng, Empress Wu smiled virtuously and looked around at the soldiers and civilians kneeling beside the road with gentle eyes, showing the demeanor of a mother who respects the world.

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Lu Wang Li Xian is the person with the highest rank among the people who greeted the driver. Hearing Gao Zong's call, the three leaders immediately shouted "Long Live". Shua ground followed and shouted, the sound was so loud that it went straight to the sky.

Ok?These two bastards actually appeared, damn it!Li Xian has participated in picking up the driver for countless times. He is used to such a big scene, he thanked him indifferently, stood up with a calm expression, and turned his eyes to the place where Shengjia was. , but suddenly discovered that there were two extremely familiar figures among the crowd accompanying the driver. After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized the origins of those two people. Shen, a bright light flashed in his eyes immediately.

In the previous life, Li Xian had enmity with the disciples of Zhuwu, and it was not a small enmity. It was a deep enmity that could not be washed away by pouring the waters of the three rivers. It was not only a public enmity, but also a deep personal enmity. For this reason, this life Li Xian tried his best to take advantage of the fact that the martial arts disciples had not yet made their fortunes, and deal with them quickly. It is a pity that Wu Youning, Wu Youde and other collateral descendants of the martial arts family were eliminated through the death of Mrs. Han, but they never did. It was always a pity to be able to get rid of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, the two chief villains among the martial arts disciples. Seeing these two bastards mixed in with the escorting team, Li Xian was in a natural mood. It was 12 points of displeasure, but at this moment, no matter how much dissatisfaction there was, Li Xian didn't dare to show it on his face. He only glanced at the brothers of the Wu family, then quickly turned his eyes away, and looked at him with a smile on his face. Li Xian was confronting Gaozong and Empress Wu in a serious manner, but he was already making quick calculations in his heart...
