Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 331 Leadership Controversy (2)

"The Empress has a decree, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuan, His Royal Highness the King of England, and the Political Advisor Le Yan Wei Deyang Palace will meet you!"

The officials waited and waited for more than half an hour under the scorching sun outside the Zetian Gate, and finally saw the figure of Gao Hesheng rushing out of the palace gate. Before the officials could breathe a sigh of relief, But seeing Gao Hesheng walking quickly to a place ten feet away from the officials, he stopped immediately, and quickly announced the imperial edict of Empress Wu, and then, without waiting for the officials to accept the order, he continued Turning around, he planned to shrink back into the palace.

"Eunuch Gao, please stop!"

As soon as he heard that the decree came from Empress Wu, and only three people were summoned, Li Xian immediately became angry. How could he let Gao Hesheng leave without accepting the decree to thank him, so he drank angrily.

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, and according to your mother's order, I still have important things to do. Do you have any orders from Your Highness?"

After all, Li Xian is the crown prince. After he had spoken, Gao Hesheng didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of so many courtiers. He vaguely carried out Wu Hou and pressed Li Xian on the head.

"Hmph, the one I want to meet with is the royal father. If you don't dare to tell me, what do you want to do? Tell me!"

Li Xian has long been displeased with Gao Hesheng, and this time he thinks he has caught Empress Wu's weakness, so he doesn't take Gao Hesheng seriously. Immediately, his anger became stronger, his face darkened, and he reprimanded him unceremoniously.

"His Royal Highness, Hai Han, His Majesty is ill and cannot be harassed. All matters are in the hands of the mother, and the old slave dare not violate it. If His Highness has no other matters, the old slave will be allowed to retire temporarily."

Li Xian's aura was not small, but Gao Hesheng didn't care at all, and replied with a smirk, making it clear that he didn't want to save face for Li Xian.

"Presumptuous, you dare to be so rude, this palace, this palace..."

Li Xian has always been headstrong and irritable. Seeing Gao Hesheng despise him so much, he immediately trembled with anger. Gao Hesheng's power suddenly made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Snapped!"

Seeing Li Xian's distraught but helpless look there, Gao Hesheng twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile, but he obviously laughed too early, before he understood what was going on, suddenly He felt a pain in his cheek, and the person flew out like flying through the clouds, and it was Li Xian who mercilessly slapped him, until He Sheng's cheeks were swollen, and several of his big teeth fell out. Mouth and nose spurt blood continuously.

"you you you……"

Gao Hesheng's pain was really serious, he was about to have an attack, but suddenly seeing murderous intent in Li Xian's eyes, he panicked immediately, pointed at Li Xian, but didn't dare to say a word.

"You lowly dog ​​slave, how brave you are, how dare you reply to His Highness the Crown Prince like this, saying, who gave you the guts!"

Regardless of whether Gao Hesheng was annoyed or not, Li Xian stepped forward with big strides, looked down at Gao Hesheng, and gave a cold drink. With all the evil spirits bursting out from his body, Gao Hesheng shrank back in fright. Group, don't even dare to fart anymore.

"Seventh brother, forget it, you have nothing to worry about with this kind of dog."

Seeing Gao Hesheng being beaten, Li Xian felt as refreshed as if drinking honey in the dog days, but he didn't forget to do the superficial kung fu, so he pretended to stop Li Xian.

"The prince's brother is soft-hearted. It seems that this kind of slave who sees people as low as dogs doesn't know what to do if he doesn't fight. You bastard, why don't you lie down and pretend to be dead? Why don't you get out of here quickly and report to the emperor, if you dare to fool around Why, be careful of your dog's life!"

Li Xian wanted to make things worse, so he didn't care that Gao Hesheng was standing behind Empress Wu, he didn't show any face to Gao Hesheng, and kicked Gao Hesheng, rolling him to the ground.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life, this old servant will go now, now!"

Heroes don't suffer from immediate disadvantages, not to mention Gao Hesheng is not a strong master at all. Seeing Li Xian is so fierce, how can he have the courage to contradict him? He got up, scrambled and rushed into the palace.

"Seventh brother, you, alas, are reckless, reckless."

After Li Xian was overjoyed, he couldn't help worrying about the revenge from Empress Wu, but he couldn't accuse Li Xian of wrongdoing in front of everyone, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and said something complaining.

"It's okay, if you don't teach these bastards a lesson, you really don't know how high the heavens and the earth are. Don't worry, brother prince, this matter will be borne by the younger brother."

Li Xian had already made up his mind, so he was not afraid of causing trouble because of this matter. Seeing Li Xian babbling, he sneered secretly in his heart, and deliberately uttered words to squeeze Li Xian.

"Hey, you seventh brother, what are you talking about? How can you let the seventh brother suffer wronged for nothing? That guy deserves to be beaten, and if he is beaten, he will be beaten. It's not a big deal, even if there is something wrong , I took care of it for my brother, but it doesn't matter."

After being told by Li Xian, Li Xian's old face immediately became a little uneasy, and he had no choice but to act calmly and wrap it up.

"Brother Prince, don't worry, it's fine. I'll just wait and wait. My father will come out with a decree soon." Li Xian didn't bother to talk about these things with Li Xian, so he gave it to him with a smile. An assertion was made.

"Oh? Really?"

Although Li Xian is headstrong, he is not stupid. He heard Gao Hesheng's decree earlier, and guessed that Gaozong must have been deceived by the people sent by Empress Wu at this time, so he couldn't help feeling deeply worried, but Hearing Li Xian speak so confidently at this moment, his curiosity was immediately aroused, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"The Buddha said: Don't say it, brother Prince, please wait and see."

Li Xian didn't intend to tell the truth, especially in such a situation where there are so many people with mixed eyes, it is impossible to tell the inside story, so he said with a smile.

"You, oh, what time is this, and you're still playing tricks on Brother Wei, that's all, it's up to you."

Seeing Li Xian's playful smile, Li Xian didn't vent his anger anywhere. He had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile. He didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and looked at him with a worried look on his face. At the gate of the palace...on the main hall of the Deyang Palace, Empress Wu sat high on the dragon bed, her face solemn and dignified, as if she was waiting for the ministers to come to meet her. Pei Xingjian, Prime Minister Hao Chujun, Prime Minister Li Jingxuan, Liu Rengui, Minister of the Household Department Pei Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Jia Dayin, and more than a dozen important officials in the court, all of them had extremely solemn expressions, and the whole hall was silently waiting for the crown prince. Waiting for someone to arrive, but what was waiting was not Li Xian and others, but Gao Hesheng who rushed into the hall in a hurry. When everyone saw Gao Hesheng's miserable appearance with crooked nose and slanted mouth, they all widened their eyes in surprise. .

"Report to Madam, the old servant has announced the decree. Not only did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of England not accept the decree, but they shot and wounded the old servant. The old slave is incompetent. Please punish the old servant." Gao Hesheng rushed into the hall and stumbled to the place. At the front wall, he fell face down on the ground, and the old man complained with tears in his eyes.

"What? I made it clear to Ben Gong!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Wu's face darkened in an instant, she slapped the dragon table, and shouted angrily.

"I don't know why I'm going back to my mother, I just announced it according to my mother's will, but His Royal Highness wanted to see His Majesty, but I didn't dare to obey, so His Royal Highness, I beat this old slave." , The old slave is really wronged, the old slave is incompetent, the beating is a minor matter, and the face of the mother is swept away, but it is the old slave's fault, the old slave deserves to die, the old slave deserves to die!"

Gao Hesheng deserves to be a good accuser who has been in the court for a long time. While weeping and crying, he dragged his beating into Empress Wu's face. Li Xian couldn't get back his face once, and his intentions could not be described as insidious.

"Bold!"

Empress Wu herself was a conspiratorial figure, and she has done a lot of such tricky things in the past, so how can she not hear the carefulness in Gao Hesheng's words, but no matter whether she can see it or not, , this face must be recovered. In a fit of anger, he suddenly stood up and scolded, as if he wanted to issue an order to arrest Li Xian, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't dare to do so. Because Empress Wu knew Li Xian's temperament very well, she didn't believe that Li Xian would not leave a counter move if he made such a brazen move. Without knowing Li Xian's hole cards, Empress Wu could not and would not dare to act blindly. Seize the opportunity to fight back, and I am afraid that things will go beyond the controllable range.

"Your Majesty, calm down. There may be something wrong with this matter. It is better to invite the two Highnesses to come here first, and then make a decision after verifying the authenticity."

As the dispute between heaven and family was involved, Pei Xingjian and the others did not dare to speak out easily, they could only respond in a wise and self-protective silence, but Li Zhen had a faint feeling that the inside story of the matter was not that simple, and she was afraid that even herself would be involved with Li Zhen. Said obviously, so he hurriedly came out and said a word of advice.

"Well, Uncle Eighth's words are very kind. Since that's the case, then Uncle Eighth will be in a position to pass on the word to those two bastards."

After all, Empress Wu was not an ordinary person, she was angry, but her mind was not disturbed by it. Seeing Li Zhen's appearance at this moment, she hurriedly got off the donkey on the slope, and kicked the problem to Li Zhenhuai middle.

"Yes, the old minister complies."

Li Zhen was forced to board Empress Wu's boat earlier, and she was really uneasy in her heart. She had the heart to find out about Li Xian's brother, but now that she listened to Empress Wu's order, she was happy to do it by chance, and she didn't mind. No more words, he simply received the order incomparably, and hurried towards the palace gate, but he didn't realize that the gloomy eyes of Empress Wu behind him were full of resentment.
