Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 343 The wind rises to the end of Qingping (2)

Calm down, you must be calm, once the attack is over, it's all over!
Li Xian was very angry, but he knew that he must not lose his manners at this time, otherwise, everything would be irreparable, so he took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his anger, and bowed to Empress Wu Turning around, the tone of the mouth was calm and said: "My mother clearly learned that my son thinks that the eighth younger brother is indeed not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with being an official. However, I don't think that the eighth younger brother will be so confused. I think there must be a misunderstanding. My son is willing to ask father and mother to investigate carefully!"

"Huh? Xian'er is saying that Mother is lying?"

Originally seeing that Li Xian was on the verge of having a seizure, Empress Wu was delighted in her heart, but she didn't expect that Li Xian would go back alive and stable. Immediately, he pulled it down, staring at Li Xian with evil eyes, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"I don't dare, but since the matter involves my eighth younger brother Qing Yu, I think that this matter must not be done hastily..."

Facing Empress Wu's cold face, if it was someone else, he would have been trembling with fright, but Li Xian didn't care at all, and replied in a high voice.

"Presumptuous, this is the front of the imperial court, not a place where you can play wild!"

Empress Wu was determined to subdue Li Xian, no matter how ugly the faces of others were, before Li Xian finished speaking, she was already on her feet, and interrupted Li Xian's words with a loud drink.

"The empress mother also asked to calm down the anger of the thunder. The son-in-law did not doubt the mother-in-law, but thought that the group of bastard eunuchs below was messing with his tongue. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it will not damage the reputation of the eighth younger brother. The son-in-law dare not obey." !"

Li Xian bowed calmly, he didn't feel the slightest timidity because of Empress Wu's anger, nor was he angered by it, but just stated his views calmly.

"Queen mother, please calm down. Seventh brother, if you don't back down, stop messing around!"

Seeing that Li Xian and Empress Wu were on the spot, Li Xian couldn't sit still. After all, he and Li Xian had always been one, so he was worried that Empress Wu's anger would spread to his own head. Picking up the crown prince's airs, he yelled at Li Xian.

You are an idiot, you only think about yourself, you are an unfamiliar dog!Li Xian saw through Li Xian's careful thinking at a glance, and sneered secretly in his heart, he would not act according to his words, and now it's in such a field, it's not a big deal to make enough trouble, this is cold He glanced at Li Xian incomparably, and responded lightly: "Brother Prince, forgive me, it's not that I'm messing around. This matter is related to the eighth younger brother's reputation, and I have no way out. If I don't investigate thoroughly, I will Never dare to accept it!"

"You, this... Oh, seventh brother, do you know that the eighth brother was smashed on the spot this time, right from wrong, there is nothing to investigate thoroughly, don't make trouble anymore, why bother to provoke father, The queen mother is angry."

Being hit by Li Xian in such a way, Li Xian's face immediately became a little unbearable, and he was about to explode, but when he saw Li Xian's expression was cold and stern, he lost his courage and had no choice but to rub his hands together awkwardly, biting the bullet I persuaded him a lot.

waste!Li Xian scorned Li Xian in his heart, he was really too lazy to talk too much, so he bowed to Gao Zong who was lying on the bed in a daze, with a touch of excitement Reported in a statement: "Father, you know the temperament of the eighth younger brother. He has always been a prudent man. How could he do anything wrong? I believe that there must be something wrong with it. I also ask my father to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly. I would like to ask for it myself, and if the eighth younger brother really committed wrongdoing, I would like to share the same crime with him!"

"This one……"

When Emperor Gaozong listened to Empress Wu's report on Li Xulun's mess, he was too angry to think about whether there was any fraud in it. In addition, the princes and kings who came successively claimed that this matter involved the face of the Tian family, so they had to cover up the past. Well, poor Gao Zong is a person who doesn't have much opinion. He saw that everyone said so, so he followed the crowd, but at this time Li Xian made such a fuss, and Gao Zong realized that things didn't seem to be as they appeared on the surface. It sounded so simple, he couldn't help hesitating about the original decision, but being caught between Empress Wu and Li Xian, he really didn't know what decision to make for a while.

"Father, my sons and ministers insist, and I also ask my father for permission!"

Li Xian knew very well that Gao Zong's muddled nature would easily be swayed by other people's opinions, so he forced a sentence tightly, not giving other people room to interject.

"Forget it, check it out, um, starling, what do you think?"

Being forced by Li Xian, Gaozong was really helpless, so he had to reluctantly agree to Li Xian's suggestion, but he felt uneasy in his heart, and kicked the ball to the silent Li Zhen's feet as soon as he changed his mouth.

"I have no objection, everything depends on His Majesty's holy order!"

Li Zhen is not such a fatuous person as Gaozong, so she has already seen the strangeness of this matter. The reason why she agreed with Empress Wu's suggestion before was just to push Li Xian along the way. Being so tough, he didn't want to have a conflict with Li Xian on the spot, and at the same time, he didn't want to have an unpleasant scene with Empress Wu, so he played Tai Chi and kicked the ball back to Gaozong calmly.

"Oh, then it's fine if it's settled like this, Mei Niang, let Xian'er go and have a look again, it won't take much time, and we can discuss it later."

Gaozong originally expected Li Zhen to give a suggestion, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to play Tai Chi on the spot. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Empress Wu who was standing by the couch with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Regarding Li Xian's tough attitude, Empress Wu was extremely angry in her heart, but since Gaozong had opened his mouth, she couldn't resist it anymore. In addition, she thought that she had already arranged everything, but it was not He was too worried about how much trouble Li Xian could cause, so he praised him with a dull face.

"Alright then, Xian'er will go and ask, and I will wait here for your return."

Seeing Empress Wu nodded, Gaozong immediately made up his mind, and instead of asking Li Xian, who was fidgeting, he directly gave Li Xian an oral instruction.

"Thank you, Father, for your grace. However, I have one more thing to ask for your father's permission."

Li Xian received the order, but he did not leave in a hurry, but made another request.

"Oh? What's the matter? Xian'er just tell me and listen to me."

Gao Zong glanced at Li Xian suspiciously, and frowned slightly. He was obviously dissatisfied with Li Xian's progress, but he didn't directly refuse, but asked with a hint of displeasure. .

"Returning to the father, the son is not familiar with all the places in the palace, and I also ask the father to give the son a decree, and the son is allowed to call the people related to this matter."

Most of the people in the harem were members of Empress Wu's party. Since they dared to frame Li Xulun like this, they had planned well. If they foolishly went to investigate without authority, wouldn't they be jumping into the pit dug by Empress Wu?Li Xian was not stupefied, so it was impossible for him to do such a stupid thing, no matter how displeased Gao Zong was, Li Xian had to get the power in his hands.

"Well, I'm sure!" Hearing that Li Xian's words were reasonable, Emperor Gaozong stopped being angry. He took a jade pendant from his pillow, handed it to Li Xian, and said, "Xian'er is welcome!" Hold this jade pendant and let the people involved in the case be summoned, if anyone dares to disobey, Xian'er can send it away on his own."

"I thank my father for your kindness!"

Now that the power is in his hands, Li Xian won't talk nonsense anymore, he held the jade pendant with both hands respectfully, thanked him loudly, and didn't care how ugly Empress Wu's face was, turned around, and strode out of the bedroom Just now, when he turned the screen, he saw Cheng Denggao leading a group of young eunuchs looking inside the door. Li Xian couldn't help but feel a move, he already had an idea.

"Eunuch Cheng has invited you. Xiao Wang is following the order of his father to thoroughly investigate the matter of Prince Yin. Now that his father's jade pendant is here, how about asking Eunuch Cheng to accompany Xiao Wang on this journey?"

Li Xian's words were very polite, but the meaning of arresting a strong man was very strong. Although the tone was in a negotiating tone, it was full of unquestionable determination.

"what……"

Cheng Denggao obviously didn't expect Li Xian to grab him as soon as he came up, and he choked hard, his mouth was wide enough to stuff a big pear into it.

"What? Is it convenient for Mr. Cheng, huh?"

Li Xian didn't show Cheng Denggao much face, and when he saw Cheng Denggao stunned on the spot, he immediately let out a cold voice.

"No, no, ah, please, Your Highness, the old slave will follow."

After being asked by Li Xian, Cheng Denggao finally came to his senses, peeked at the jade pendant in Li Xian's hand, and reluctantly bowed to the promise, waved his hand, signaling Li Xian to invite first.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wang wants to go to Ningxin Hall first, so please show me the way, Eunuch Cheng."

Li Xian nodded expressionlessly, gave an order in a calm voice, and walked out of the hall. Seeing this, Cheng Denggao was filled with reluctance, but he had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile. , hurriedly caught up with Li Xian's footsteps, and led the way for Li Xian in a courteous manner.

Ningxin Hall is located in the most remote corner of the west side of the imperial palace. The name sounds pleasant, but it is actually just a dilapidated small courtyard, which is commonly known as the cold palace. Without other concubines, this cold palace is of course useless. Under the years of disrepair, it is inevitable that it will be dirty and messy. Not to mention, the weeds growing on the roof alone will cause trouble. As tall as half a person, he could feel the bad luck of mildew from a long distance, but Li Xian didn't care at all, and didn't get close to Cheng Denggao, and walked to the yard silently all the way.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Before Li Xian could get close to the gate of the courtyard, a middle-aged eunuch with a strong figure and several subordinates rushed up and blocked Li Xian's way.

"Get out!"

Li Xian was too lazy to make any noise with these little people, so he raised the jade pendant in his hand and scolded unceremoniously.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant is entrusted by the Empress Empress Yi to take care of His Highness Yin Wang. If there is no Empress Yi's order, please forgive me for not being accommodating!"

Although the jade pendant in Li Xian's hand was often used by Emperor Gaozong, but the middle-aged eunuch was not a person who followed the emperor, he didn't approve of it, and he didn't care about Li Xian's title of prince, so he strongly opposed Li Xian In a word, they put on a confident posture, and made it clear that they didn't intend to make things easier for Li Xianxing.
