Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 600 Confrontation (3)

"Xian'er, don't mess around, this is an important place in the court..."

Empress Wu is not an ordinary person, so she will not be fooled by Li Xian's cuteness, let alone believe that Li Xian's so-called poetry reciting has no other intentions, and she does not want to make any troubles, so she unceremoniously intends to buckle Li Xian first. A big hat for not doing business properly, so as to block Li Xian's mouth.

"Xian'er can compose poems? I'm really curious, so I come here and listen to it."

Gaozong also couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xian's gourd, but now his hope of saving Li Xian's life was placed on Li Xian, so he didn't want Li Xian to be killed so soon. Empress Wu suppressed it, and when she saw that Empress Wu was about to take advantage of the situation, she immediately interrupted Empress Wu's conversation.

"Yes, my son obeys my father's orders."

Li Xian didn't pay attention to Empress Wu's livid face at all, and respectfully saluted Gaozong, then stood up straight, and said with a mournful face: "Planting melons under the platform, melons are ripe!" Zi Lili, one pick is good for a melon, another pick will make the melon thinner, three picks are still good, and never pick the vines!"

Li Xian's voice in reciting poems is not loud, and his voice is also low and deep, but there is a kind of thought-provoking appeal in his magnetic voice, and everyone who hears it bows his head and meditates. As for Gaozong, he can't stop The old man was tearing freely, disregarding his own image, sobbing until his face was covered with tears and snot. Even Empress Wu's eyes were dim, but he soon woke up, looking at Li Xian. There was a murderous aura that couldn't be concealed, but at this moment, she was furious, but she didn't dare to speak again easily, so she could only be furious in her heart.

"I won't pick it anymore, I can't pick it anymore, I can't, I can't..."

Gaozong was really sad. He only had eight sons in total. The eldest son Li Zhong was given to death, and the fifth son Li Hong was poisoned to death. Now if Li Xian is given to death again, who will be next? Could it be that if you really want to pick off the vines, you can't return?

"Father Huang Shengming, my son thinks that although the fifth elder brother has made a serious mistake, he may have deeply repented. He is already a good person. Although his crime is great, there is a way to forgive him. It’s nothing more than curing the disease and saving the ears, how can there be no reason not to rehabilitate others, my son implores the emperor to issue an edict to allow the fifth brother to be released to a place, so that he can use his whole body!”

"Cucumber Speech" should have been written by Li Xian, but it was plagiarized by Li Xian. Li Xian had no chance to write such a deadly poem again, but since it was used to save his life, Li Xian He didn't feel any guilt in his heart, seeing Gao Zong so sad at this moment, although Li Xian felt sorry for him, he would never let go of this great opportunity to speak out, and hurried to Then he bowed again, admonishing him sincerely.

"I……"

Gao Zong's mood was surging at this moment, and he wanted to save Li Xian's life, so how could he not agree to Li Xian's request, and he wanted to say yes with a tear.

"Your Majesty, I think that His Majesty the King's opinion is very inappropriate. You must know that the country has its own laws, and treason is the first of the ten evils. The crime is unforgivable. Giving the Three Jewels is an extrajudicial favor. If you want to release it, you will be forgiven. I beg your majesty and empress to investigate clearly!"

The Donggong conspiracy case was a major case arranged by Wu Chengsi alone, and it was also a great opportunity for him to show it to Empress Wu. He didn't want to be messed up by Li Xian for no reason. Li Xian was impatient at the invitation, and before Empress Wu could give a hint, he jumped out anxiously and strongly objected.

"Your Majesty, although Wu Shangshu's words are harsh, they are true words. I beg Your Majesty to think twice."

Empress Wu was persevering by nature, she was never a master who was willing to admit defeat easily, and she didn't want to be overthrown by Li Xian. Seeing that Gaozong's eyes widened and he seemed to have a tendency to attack Wu Chengsi, he immediately stepped in from the sidelines One sentence.

"Humph!"

Although Emperor Gaozong was in a rage, he was still afraid of his inner self. After being interrupted by Empress Wu, although it was not good for Wu Chengsi to relapse, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart, so he snorted coldly, and his face turned black in an instant It must be like the bottom of a pot.

"Wu Shangshu opened his mouth to talk about the law, but he said the law when he closed his mouth. Presumably he must be a person who understands the law?"

Gao Zong dared not speak in fear, but Li Xian didn't have that concern. He ignored Empress Wu's aggressive gaze, sneered, stared at Wu Chengsi with sharp eyes like knives, and asked coldly.

"This...Your Highness is joking. Since taking charge of the Ministry of Punishments, I have always worked hard and never dared to be negligent. The "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" must be kept in mind."

Wu Chengsi didn't expect that Li Xian would point the finger at him in court without any scruples, and he was immediately choked by Li Xian's evil spirit, but he didn't want to weaken his own morale, so he responded with a smile on his face said a word.

"That's very good. I have only one question. I would like to ask Wu Shangshu to explain it for you. I wonder if Wu Shangshu is willing?"

Li Xian smiled disdainfully, and asked casually.

"This, this...hehe, this is natural, please tell me, Your Highness, the next official will know everything and say everything."

Li Xian asked casually, but Wu Chengsi didn't dare to accept the move lightly. He faltered twice, looked at Empress Wu who was sitting high on the big seat, and nodded calmly when he saw Empress Wu. Tsukuru agreed boldly, but his heart was still very empty, and the flattering smile on his face became stiffer.

"That's good. I heard the words of Wu Shangshu before and believed that the truth of the Donggong case has been revealed, and the whole case has been concluded. There is no doubt about it, but that's the case?"

Li Xian nodded calmly, and asked indifferently.

"That's true. I don't know what His Highness means by this statement? Could it be that there is something missing? Please advise!"

Wu Chengsi was tense at first, and was afraid that Li Xian would ask some weird questions. Now that Li Xian was asking about the case, he felt relieved, thinking that the case was under control. In the middle, I am not afraid that Li Xianneng will reverse the case, not only give an affirmative answer, but also turn Li Xian into an army.

"Omissions? It turns out that Wu Shangshu knew there were omissions in this case? Hehe, did Gu really underestimate you?" Li Xian has always hated Wu Chengsi and other people who have no integrity at all. All the grievances in the world were aimed at the fact that he was the dog's leg of Empress Wu. Li Xian didn't intend to give him any face, so he unceremoniously brushed him off, and his face suddenly became serious, full of evil spirits He yelled loudly: "What are the roles of Chen Xiaotian and Zhu Kaizhi in this case? Why did Wu Sansi deliberately not report to the imperial court knowing that the orphaned fifth brother was instigated by the villain? And why did he wait for the guards of the Eastern Palace to enter the palace before launching an ambush?" What is the reason for this? Also, the two thieves Chen and Zhu slaughtered many soldiers of the Habayashi Army along the way. Why is there no such record in the case? Where are these two thieves now? Why are you deliberately concealing such information? Tell me! "

"This, this, this..."

The evil spirit on Li Xian's body was created from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, which was amazing. How could Wu Chengsi, who had never seen blood before, be able to bear this sudden mobilization? Coupled with the fact that the matter between Chen and Zhu was exposed by Li Xian in court, Wu Chengsi had already panicked in his heart, he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, and his face was full of shock. The cold sweat was pouring madly.

"Father, my son suspects that there is something wrong with the case of the East Palace. Although Fifth Brother has made a serious mistake, it is obvious that he was bewitched by a villain. The hidden truth must be thoroughly investigated. If not, why block the world? Mouth, I hope the emperor will find out!"

Li Xian didn't even look at Wu Chengsi who was in a panic anymore, and turned to one side, offering a big gift to Gaozong, begging in a very painful tone.

There was an uproar, a faction of uproar, the officials had long suspected that the case was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but Li Xian's rebellion was a fact, and the officials and workers were forced by Empress Wu's despotic power, but no one dared to mess around with this case Intervene, at this time, hearing that Li Xian's words did not seem to be false, everyone was startled by the complexity of the inside story of the case, all of them started discussing indiscriminately, and the whole hall was full of humming sounds.

"Wu Chengsi is bold, if you dare to deceive me, you will be convicted!"

Although Gao Zong was a little cowardly, he was not dull. How could he not see that the case was most likely caused by Empress Wu behind the scenes? He slammed the dragon's case extremely, and stopped drinking without any politeness.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, humble minister, humble minister..."

Wu Chengsi was already dizzy from Li Xian's evil spirit, but after being attacked by Gao Zong, he couldn't stand still. He knelt down on the ground in a hurry, kowtowed like garlic.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think that there is nothing wrong with this matter. Xian'er may be bewitched by a villain, but it is true that her heart is not strong. Even if there are thousands of reasons, the act of treason is indisputable." As a matter of fact, Xian'er is far away in Tubo, so he doesn't know the details of the case, so it's no wonder that he has some doubts."

Seeing that Wu Chengsi couldn't bear it anymore, fearing that he would say something terrible in court, although Empress Wu was unwilling, she had to forcefully stop her.

"I don't care whether the facts are real or not. It's not up to others to tell me what I'm going to do. I have made up my mind. From then on, I will remove Li Xian from the position of prince and be reduced to the king of Jiangling County. Immediately, I will go to Beijing to take up the post. Do not leave the territory without permission!"

Gaozong had a small dispute with Empress Wu before going to court, over whether to let Li Xian go, but at that time Gaozong was afraid of internal thoughts, so he could not overcome Empress Wu's insistence. It could only be that he was unwillingly defeated, but under the current rage, he ignored Empress Wu's intentions and showed the posture of an emperor very rarely. The decree went down, leaving no chance for Empress Wu to object!

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

The effect that should be achieved has been achieved, and Li Xian didn't intend to get entangled in this case anymore, so he was the first to stand up and praise him without hesitation.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers originally did not want to participate in the open confrontation between the King of England and Empress Wu. Now that Emperor Gaozong had made up his mind, no one wanted to make any further troubles, so they followed the mountain call and praised endlessly.

"Father, emperor and queen are played, and sons and ministers have their own books to play!"

Gaozong went to court once in a while, in order to save Li Xian's life. Now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally doesn't want to have any more troublesome things, and his body is exhausted after a long illness. He retreated, but before he got up, he saw Li Xulun, the King of Wings, flashing out from the side, holding a folded book covered with yellow silk in his hand, and reported aloud.
