Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 720
For Li Xian, a son who is both civil and military, Gao Zong's feelings have always been quite complicated. From the father's point of view, Gao Zong is extremely doting, but from the emperor's point of view, Gao Zong has great feelings for Li Xian He was wary, although he never showed it, but he had set up several insurances in his actions, including allowing Empress Wu to take charge, and vigorously supporting the Yue King family. It was to limit Li Xian's energy. Of course, this was just a precautionary measure for an emperor. Gaozong never had too much suspicion of Li Xian. There is a great relationship. Generally speaking, Gaozong is still very satisfied with Li Xian, the prince, but that was only in the past. At this moment, under the series of hints from Empress Wu, Gaozong is already suspicious of Li Xian Dafa, when he heard that Li Xian broke into the palace brazenly, he immediately panicked and stared at him, not knowing how to deal with him.

"His Majesty."

Empress Wu naturally didn't want Gaozong to meet Li Xian, but she also knew that the eunuchs outside obviously couldn't stop Li Xian's footsteps. , but saw him wipe away his tears sadly, and let out a sad cry. Although he didn't say anything else, all his grievances were fully expressed.

"Well, Mei Niang is not afraid, I am here!"

Seeing the weak appearance of Empress Wu, Gao Zong seemed to have seen the situation when he first met Empress Wu 30 years ago, and a sense of pride suddenly surged in his heart, his chest straightened immediately, and he embraced Empress Wu in a heroic manner. In his arms, he comforted me softly.

"The concubine knows."

Clinging closely to Gao Zong's chest, which was not really thick, Empress Wu made a coy look, responded timidly, and buried her head deeply in Gao Zong's arms.

"You bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, go, let me announce that kid!"

When Gao Zong was arrogant, he became more courageous. He stared at Cheng Denggao, who was dumbfounded, and scolded angrily.

"Ah, Nuo, the old slave complies with the order, the old slave will go now, this time!"

Cheng Denggao has been following Empress Wu for many years, but he has never seen such a weak and delicate bird like Empress Wu. For a while, he really felt a bit confused like in a dream. When he was in a daze, he was suddenly caught When Gaozong yelled, his heart panicked immediately, he trembled suddenly, he agreed indiscriminately, and rushed out of the bedroom as if fleeing, and after a while, he was accompanied by Li Xian, who was in neat court clothes, from the screen Turned back again.

"Father..."

As soon as he turned around the screen, Li Xian quickly glanced at the situation in the room. Seeing Gao Zong standing upright while Empress Wu bowed his head in silence, Li Xian already guessed the general situation, and sneered secretly in his heart, but However, there was a look of grievance on his face, he rushed to Gaozong's body in a few strides, knelt down on the ground, and called out with trembling voice, tears could not stop flowing down his cheeks .

"Huh? Xian'er, what's wrong with you and why?"

Gao Zong had made up his mind at first, planning to beat Li Xian up when he saw Li Xian's face, but he never expected that Li Xian would cry first without saying a word, and immediately became a little at a loss, and looked at it blankly. Looking at Li Xian, seeing that his grievances didn't seem fake, his heart immediately softened, rubbed his hands, and some children asked in surprise.

"Father, my child is terrified. Father, my child has always upheld justice for the country and never dared to go beyond the rules. With such care, he was still framed by a villain, and rumors and rumors spread all over the sky. On the ground, the boy was surprised to hear about this and rushed to see his father, but unexpectedly he failed to report, the boy was so angry that he had to enter the palace without permission, he had already violated the palace rules, and begged his father to punish him."

Li Xian stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and reported with a sad face. In his words, he cleverly connected the rumors flying all over the sky with the villain in the palace.

"What? There's such a thing? Cheng Denggao, I'm a very good cook, don't you dare to deceive me!"

Hearing that Li Xian's request to see him was intercepted by the eunuchs in private, Gaozong became angry immediately, turned his head sideways, stared fiercely at Cheng Denggao, and asked in an extremely unfriendly tone.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, this old slave is wronged, this old slave really doesn't know about it, Your Majesty."

The order to stop Li Xian from seeing him was exactly Cheng Denggao's, but how dare he admit it at this moment, seeing Gaozong's anger coming at him, his legs and feet immediately went limp, and he fell to his knees. Qu Lai was called out.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cheng has always been reliable in his affairs. He is not a rebellious person. There may be some misunderstandings."

Cheng Denggao was a loyal dog by Empress Wu's side, and it was impossible for Empress Wu to just sit back and watch Gaozong get mad at him, and without waiting for Gaozong to speak, she interjected a sentence from the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, this old servant should be punished for his ineffectiveness. However, we have to investigate the problem. I beg Your Majesty to allow this old servant to investigate."

With Empress Wu's help, Cheng Denggao immediately gained confidence, and hurriedly followed the pole to plead.

"Hmph, what are you still doing here in a daze, get out, don't let me find out, be careful of your skin!"

Although Gaozong was a bit cowardly, he was not so easy to be deceived. How could he not know that Li Xian's interception must have been done by Cheng Denggao, but because of Empress Wu's favor, it was not easy to use Cheng Denggao's tricks. I couldn't help feeling irritable in my heart, the more I looked at Cheng Denggao, the more unpleasant it became, so I stomped my feet resentfully, and mercilessly drove Cheng Denggao out of the bedroom.

"No, the old slave will do it now, and I will do it now."

Hearing that Emperor Gaozong didn't use this matter to anger him, Cheng Denggao was secretly relieved, he dared not delay any longer, he hurriedly responded, and then exited the palace in embarrassment.

"Xian'er, I really don't know about this. These bastards are negligent in their duties. They really deserve to die. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Earlier, Empress Wu said something, but Li Xian hinted at another way. Although Gao Zong was a little clever, he was not a man of great wisdom. Who was playing tricks behind the incident, but no matter what, it was an obvious fact that Li Xian was intercepted when he asked to see him, and Gaozong must give Li Xian some explanation, so he comforted Li Xian with a warm words.

"Father's words are serious, the child's grievances are minor, but family and country affairs are not to be ambiguous. Now that there is a lot of discussion in the court, if there is no explanation, something big will happen. I implore the father to order it! "

After a series of performances, the unfavorable situation has been turned back, but Li Xian didn't intend to stop as soon as it was good, but started to counterattack and calculate.

"Ah, this..."

Hearing Li Xian's words, Gaozong's head hurt again, because what he thought was to maintain the status quo, whether it was Li Xian supervising the country, or Empress Wu acting arbitrarily, Gaozong was not happy to see the situation, and now things are so troubled Great, it’s impossible to say nothing, but Gaozong didn’t have a clue as to where to start with this statement.

"Xian'er don't need to panic. Everyone in the world says that Xian'er has the image of a bright emperor. When the doctor of Ming Dynasty was in Japan, he also said that Xian'er was like Taizong. If Xian'er was in power, mother can rest assured. Oh, my mother is too old. I can't do what I want. Sooner or later Letting Xian'er take over the court can be regarded as giving mother a chance to breathe, thinking that Xian'er will not disappoint mother, right?"

Empress Wu had already grasped the pulse of Emperor Gaozong's pursuit of stability. Seeing that Li Xian was about to counterattack, she refused to let Li Xian go. After thinking about it again, it is full of references to Sang and Huai, not only implying that Li Xian is impatient to usurp power, but also implying that Li Xian has the ability and means to stage the "Xuanwu Gate Change", the intention of which is needless to say sinister.

"The mother's empress is too famous, but the child's achievements are all due to the kindness of the father and mother. I dare not boast about myself. As for what others say, they are all lies without knowing the facts. My Tang Dynasty can have today. Its prosperity is all due to the great kindness of my father and the hard work of Empress Wu. Today, there is a villain who is trying to alienate my family from heaven. His heart should be punished. I implore my father to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate this matter, find out the culprit behind the scenes, and return to justice. If the mother is fair, she will also give the child an innocence."

Empress Wu dug a hole in the words, Li Xian immediately turned back, and also planted a foreshadowing in the words, even incidentally, he insisted on stuffing Empress Wu into the cover, but the logic of the words was tight, and he didn't leave the slightest for Empress Wu Picky gaps.

"I'm afraid it's not good for Xian'er to have such a heart. Look, mother, this matter is really without any trouble. It should be investigated carefully. As for whether it is fair or not, mother does not care, but I really want to investigate it. My Tianjia's The face is not good-looking, alas, according to my mother, she is too old, and it is not a problem to let my mother worry about state affairs all the time. It is better to supervise the country, and it will save the boss and others from gossiping, mother , you can plant flowers and raise birds with peace of mind, but you can also enjoy yourself, Xianer, what do you think?"

Empress Wu knew Li Xian's ruthlessness very well. Hearing that Li Xian insisted on thoroughly investigating the case, some people couldn't help feeling worried, fearing that Li Xian had really got something wrong, lest Li Xian would take advantage of the situation to make use of it. With a single word, he blocked the proposal of a thorough investigation, and in turn, Li Xian was ruthlessly thrown into the army.

"Why did Mei Niang say such a thing, I still rely on you to support the overall situation, so don't bring up this matter again."

Empress Wu wants to hand over the power, the most urgent person is not Li Xian, but Gao Zong, he doesn't want Li Xian to be in power, so he makes Gao Zongzhu the Supreme Emperor, so he pretends to be unhappy, frowning and inserting said a word.

"Father, Emperor Shengming, and sons and ministers also think the same way. The overall situation of the court has a mother and queen, and it will definitely not be chaotic. The children can also learn from the good students, and work hard to help them. I must call me the Great Tang Dynasty forever, but Now that this incident has happened, there must be an explanation after all, otherwise the rumors will continue, and it will be very detrimental to the court situation, I implore my father to make a judgment."

Li Xian didn't expect to be able to rule in this way, so he didn't care about Gaozong's decision, but he didn't want to give Empress Wu so much for nothing. There is a problem.
