Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 606 The Imperial Court (2)

"The concubine has seen His Majesty!"

Even though he saw Li Xian as soon as he turned the screen, Empress Wu seemed to have never seen Li Xian. He called out tremblingly.

"Meiniang is here, sit down, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Fear of guilt has always been Gaozong's chronic illness, and it has never been better. No, he was furious to uphold justice for Li Xian before, but when Empress Wu showed up, Gaozong's anger dissipated instantly. Especially when he heard that Empress Wu's voice was not right, Gaozong immediately showed a few embarrassing smiles, stretched out his hand to pat the bed, and greeted him softly with a sense of comfort.

"My concubine thanks Your Majesty Long En."

Over the years, Empress Wu has often suffered under Li Xian's subordinates, and her hatred for Li Xian can be said to be extremely deep. Although she was angry at this time, she didn't attack it immediately, because she knew that Li Xian was not an easy person, Before finding out Li Xian's trump card, Empress Wu didn't intend to vent her anger easily, fearing that Li Xian would take advantage of it in turn. No matter how polite he was, after thanking him, he sat beside Gao Zong and ignored Li Xian's greeting, but secretly gave Wu Yining a wink.

"Your Majesty, the last general was wronged. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the last general. The last general was sent to the East Palace by a letter from the Ministry of War to take up his post. What I lost was the face of the court, the last general is incompetent, Your Majesty, the last general..."

Don't look at Wu Yining's literary proficiency, but his acting skills are excellent. Just now, he still had a respectful expression on his face. After he knelt down on the ground, he immediately burst into tears, crying with snot and tears. Now, the sad state is so realistic that even if you use a magnifying glass to look for it, you can't find any flaws.

"Your Majesty, the court is a place of laws and regulations. Those who do not obey the laws are rebellious. His Highness the Crown Prince has acted like this. The general will not agree with it. Please make a holy judgment!"

As soon as Wu Yining finished speaking, Wu Sansi immediately flashed out from the side, speaking with righteous indignation.

"Well, I know all about this matter, if it's not serious, maybe something went wrong at the Ministry of War."

Gaozong had heard what happened from Li Xian before, and originally intended to support Li Xian last time, but Empress Wu was by his side. After trying to smooth things over, he thought about gently exposing this matter.

"Your Majesty, before my concubine came here, I have asked people to investigate all the affairs of the Ministry of War. All the transfer letters issued are true, and there are all cases to check, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Although Gaozong's idea was good, but Empress Wu had no intention of accepting it at all, so she interjected indifferently from the side, and knocked Gaozong's plan of reconciliation into pieces at once.

"That's it, uh..."

Hearing what Empress Wu said, Gao Zong felt a little stuck, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Xian'er, let me explain to your mother why you are making such a fuss? But do you have any dissatisfaction with your mother's decision? If you have any grievances, just talk to your mother and listen to it. Don't worry, your mother will definitely make the decision for you .”

Gaozong fell silent, but Empress Wu regained her spirits, looked at Li Xian with concern, and asked a very gentle question, but it didn't sound like she was comforting Li Xian, but rather plainly The land is forcing the palace!

The old man is really unreliable, alas, it is really a piece of muffin cake for ten thousand years, yes, it is true to rely on yourself!Seeing Empress Wu had already pushed to the door, but Gaozong never said a word, Li Xian was inevitably muttering in his heart, but this was expected, although Li Xian was a little depressed, he also It was still acceptable, so he pondered for a while, stepped forward and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your inquiry, but my child has something to report."

"Well, let's talk, mother, listen."

Empress Wu nodded indifferently, seeming relieved, but also sarcastically raised the corner of her mouth, showing an ambiguous smile, waved her hand, and said in a drawling voice.

"I have reported to my father and mother that the reason why my boy does not want Wu Yining to take over the post of General Huben of the Eastern Palace is because my boy is afraid of death."

Faced with Empress Wu's pressing approach, Li Xian seemed a little out of control, stepped back half a step, and gave an unimaginable answer with an impressive expression.

"Absurd. Yining is your cousin. Even if he has no relatives, he is still an official of the imperial court. Even if you don't like it, you don't need to use this to prevaricate. Don't forget that this is the imperial court. You must not tolerate your reckless remarks!"

Empress Wu was already planning to grab Li Xian's sore foot, but when she heard Li Xian's words, her expression darkened instantly, and she yelled angrily.

"Xian'er must not be joking, let's talk about business."

Gaozong obviously didn't listen to Li Xian's words very much, and seeing that Empress Wu was in danger of breaking out, but he didn't want Li Xianping to suffer in vain, so he interrupted from the side, trying to calm down the sudden tension. The situation will slow down slightly.

"Father and Emperor Mingjian, what the child said is not false. Since the September of the first year of Qianfeng, and so far, it has not been once or twice that the child has been assassinated. Although the child still has some abilities, it is just as the saying goes: only Being a thief for a thousand days, there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If there is a slight negligence, and there is no capable person to protect him, wouldn't it be a tragedy? Therefore, it is not because the child is unruly, but because Wu Yining is too useless. How dare the child put his back on it, this feeling and heart can show the sun and the moon, and I hope the emperor will be considerate."

Facing Empress Wu's thunderous wrath, Li Xian's face suddenly turned into fear, but he didn't admit the slightest bit of mistake in his mouth, but talked casually, moving with emotion and reasoning.

"What my son said is quite reasonable. The guard should be stronger after all. It's just..."

Li Xian was assassinated several times successively. Gao Zong knew everything about it. For this, he was quite apologetic in his heart. Probably because of so many cases, none of them could really be solved. Li Xian asked for effective protection However, in the middle of the sentence, I suddenly remembered the matter of Li Xian leading troops into the palace, but then changed my mind. There is nothing else, just because of the phrase "The King of England is like Taizong" The rumors about Emperor Gaozong never forgot, therefore, they stopped in the middle of the conversation.

"Your Majesty, the court has its own laws, how can it act arbitrarily. If His Royal Highness has any objections to the transfer of the Ministry of War, then he should file a complaint. Such reckless behavior is really suspected of deceiving the emperor, and it is not what the prince should do. !"

When Gaozong hesitated, Wu Sansi, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately jumped out, and unceremoniously put his big hat on Li Xian's head.

"Your Majesty, the general is wronged. The general has always behaved well and worked hard. He never dared to make a mistake, but he was humiliated like this for no reason. The general is bitter. Your majesty wants to make the decision for the general. Your Majesty ..."

As soon as Wu Sansi came out like this, Wu Yining, who had already calmed down, immediately began to cry again.

"This, this..."

Gao Zong was not a person with big opinions at all, when Erwu made such a fuss, he immediately became dizzy, he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't tell the reason.

"Father, when it comes to testimonials, I have some doubts about whether to speak or not."

Li Xianduo is a shrewd person, and he has always been a master who refuses to suffer. Now when he saw Gao Zong swallowing water there, he immediately knew that Gao Zong must be scruples, but he didn't take it to heart, so his expression changed Su, said solemnly.

"Xian'er has something to say, but it's okay to say it, I'm listening."

In all honesty, although Gaozong was a little wary of Li Xian, but not much, he didn't want to punish Li Xian because of this incident, but seeing that Empress Wu refused to let go, he was helpless Yes, now that Li Xian has something to say, he will not object.

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Li Xian thanked you meticulously, then stood up straight, and said boldly: "Father, my son has read through the three books of "Wu De Law", "Zhen Guan Law" and "Yong Hui Law". I don't dare to say that I am proficient, but I can still remember it. If I remember correctly, the ninth chapter of "Wu De Law", the tenth chapter of "Zhen Guan Law", and the tenth volume of "Yong Hui Law" are all led by the princes and guards. According to the regulations, it is stated that the prince's guards are the prince's close guards. They should choose their relatives and those who can do it. And why is it said that it is rude and illegal? My son wonders where Wu Yining came from for the transfer letter from the Ministry of War. Does it mean that the private transfer of the Habayashi Guards does not need to be approved by the emperor? This is a strange thing, and there must be some Hidden situation, my son implores the emperor to issue an edict to investigate clearly!"

"Ok?"

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Gaozong's face immediately turned a little ugly, and the eyes that looked at Wu Yining immediately became a little more angry, not for anything else, but because Yulin Jun is the emperor The private army is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War has no authority to mobilize the Habayashi Army. The only one who can mobilize the Habayashi Army is Gaozong, but Gaozong did not know about Wu Yining's transfer of the army. Obviously, this It is an out-and-out deception!
"Your Majesty, this matter is an oral order from my concubine."

Seeing that Emperor Gaozong was about to lose his temper, Empress Wu's heart sank involuntarily, and she hurriedly explained from the side.

"Forget it, let's leave this matter alone and talk about it. I am tired, and you are all tired."

Empress Wu didn’t explain it, it’s fine, but with this explanation, Gaozong’s doubts not only did not disappear, but on the contrary deepened a little bit—when he thought that most of Wu’s disciples served as powerful generals in the Yulin Army, Gaozong’s heart would inevitably be confused. There was a slight uproar, but Gaozong didn't want to show it in front of Empress Wu, so he yawned and issued an order to expel the guest noncommittally.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave."

Gaozong had already shown his impatience, even Empress Wu dared not say any more, no matter whether they were willing or not, they could only leave with their own bows, a court case was just like this It seems that it came to an end without a problem.
