On the eve of the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin and Changsun said that they would arrange for someone to secretly send their mother and son away, but Empress Changsun refused.
When Li Shimin led the people to Xuanwu Gate, Queen Changsun even appeared in person to boost morale.
Empress Changsun can be said to be a model of women in this era.
Empress Changsun taught Li Lizhi the most, and she was very satisfied with him in every aspect.
But now that Li Lizhi is so messed up, Empress Changsun is really disappointed.
Li Lizhi said with some shame: "Mother, I know I was wrong."
Only then did she remember that Lin's father and Lin's mother knew that Lin Xuan was summoned to the palace, but they didn't know why.
Now the news about He Yu's disciples leading people to kneel down at the gate of the palace is spreading. It won't be long before Father Lin and Mother Lin will know about it. At that time, they will think that Lin Xuan was called into the palace and scared out of their wits. What should they do?
Queen Changsun's expression softened a bit and she said, "You are the mistress of the family. No matter what happens, you must remain calm. If you are in chaos, then the entire Lin family will also be in chaos. Do you understand?"
"Mother, I understand. Thank you very much for your teaching," Li Lizhi said.
The eldest grandson nodded and said, "Don't worry about Zichu, everything will be fine."
After all, she was her favorite daughter. In order to reassure Li Lizhi, Empress Changsun still said a few more words.
Although Empress Changsun does not care about political affairs, she does not lack political vision.
This incident is nothing more than a game between the family and Li Shimin, and with Li Shimin's character, it is impossible to compromise with the family.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Li Lizhi's face showed a hint of joy.
…
"Master Marquis, please have tea." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.
Lin Xuan took a sip, put down the tea bowl, and said, "Thank you for your help this time."
"Haha, the Marquis is too polite. I am just following orders. I just don't know if there is any place where the Marquis needs my service?" Xu Jingzong asked.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Master Xu should also know about the hundreds of scholars kneeling outside the Suzaku Gate. I have been ordered by His Majesty to handle this matter, and Master Xu is the key to success."
Xu Jingzong was startled and asked with some confusion: "What does the Marquis need to do?"
Lin Xuan softly explained his purpose to Xu Jingzong.
A trace of shock flashed in Xu Jingzong's eyes and he said: "Master Hou, is it not a good idea to do this?"
Lin Xuan said: "Master Xu, just do what I say. With His Majesty's instructions, even if something happens, it won't involve Master Xu. Don't worry, Master Xu."
Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly and said: "The Marquis has misunderstood. I didn't mean it this way. I was just worried that doing so would cause a big mess. Since the Marquis said so, I will just do it."
After giving instructions to Xu Jingzong, Lin Xuan said goodbye, left the bookstore, and went directly to Zhuque Gate.
Of course, Lin Xuan will not go out now, but is inside the Suzaku Gate, and the scholars cannot see him.
Lin Xuan found a forbidden soldier and asked him to inform him. Not long after, Li Junxian came over.
"I've seen the prince-in-law." Li Junxian cupped his hand.
Li Junxian is a county prince and has a higher title than Lin Xuan, so naturally he will not be called Marquis.
"General Li, you should have received His Majesty's order for you to cooperate with me, right?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Junxian nodded and said: "I have already received it. If your consort has any orders, just tell me. As long as they are reasonable, I will carry them out naturally."
Although Li Shimin ordered him to cooperate with Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan couldn't bring people into the palace, so he should cooperate as well.
"I would like to ask General Li to send five hundred forbidden troops to surround the scholars outside the palace gate." Lin Xuan said.
Li Junxian frowned slightly: "The prince-in-law wants to attack them?"
These people forced the palace to punish Lin Xuan severely. Could it be that Lin Xuan became angry and wanted to kill all those people directly?
No wonder Li Junxian thought so. Li Shimin had ordered him to send the imperial army to stop the people before, and now Lin Xuan asked people to surround those people again. He looked like he wanted to take action no matter what.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "General Li misunderstood. Seriously, I am also a scholar. How could I kill someone for such a trivial matter?"
"These people are the future pillars of our Tang Dynasty. I asked the imperial army to surround them to protect their safety."
"Although the Tang Dynasty is now stable, there are still remnants of the previous dynasty and remnants of those who rebelled against the king and were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. If someone secretly plots against them, it will probably cause great chaos."
"The prince-in-law is overly worried. I have already sent people to keep the people away. Ordinary people outside the Zhuque Gate can't get through at all, so why bother to murder him?" Li Junxian said.
"General Li also said that ordinary people can't get through, but don't they still have people coming? What I mean is that no one is allowed to have contact with those scholars. If some of them leave, let them leave, but they are not allowed to enter again." Lin
Xuan said.
Li Junxian was a little confused. Could it be that Lin Xuan wanted to surround those people and wait until those people were hungry or anxious to leave?
Although this method has some quirks, I have to say it is a very good method.
"Okay, I will do what the consort said. Does the consort have any other instructions?" Li Junxian asked.
"I would also like to ask General Li to ask someone to prepare more thick clothes. Although the weather is hot now, it is still a bit cool at night. In addition, someone will prepare three meals a day for them, as well as buckets and other things." Lin
Xuan thought for a moment and said.
Li Junxian:......
He thought that Lin Xuan wanted to wait for those people to get hungry or unable to hold back their guilt and leave, but who knew that Lin Xuan actually asked him to prepare clothes and food, and even thought of Chu Gong's bucket.
He looked like he really cared about those scholars.
"I will remember what the consort said." Li Junxian did not ask Lin Xuan if he had any other instructions. He was worried that Lin Xuan would ask him to prepare more houses for those people, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
.
As for letting those people pay respects at the palace gate, it was indeed inappropriate, but Li Shimin had asked him to listen to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan's request would not affect the safety of the palace, so he had no choice but to agree.
…
"Squeak~ah~"
The sound of the Suzaku Gate opening attracted the attention of the kneeling scholars.
Da da da~
A group of forbidden soldiers wearing armor and holding spears ran out.
When they saw a group of Imperial Guards running out with great momentum, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of those kneeling soldiers.
They thought that because there were so many people, Li Shimin would not do anything to them, but now that they saw these forbidden troops coming out, they were inevitably a little panicked.
Only then did they remember that Li Shimin had even killed his own brothers, including their children, but left no one alive.
Although Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, ordinary people were not aware of it, but they all came from aristocratic families, how could they not know about it.
The four middle-aged men kneeling in front did not panic, but they frowned when they saw the imperial soldiers running over.
Naturally, they knew the purpose of forcing the uterus this time.
In fact, they did not necessarily want Li Shimin to execute Lin Xuan, but they wanted to force Li Shimin to bow his head.
