Li Xian just walked into the lobby of Dali Temple with the imperial edict in his hand. He saw Li Xianzheng walking back and forth in the lobby with a livid face. As for the bunch of Dali Temple officials, they were completely missing. Obviously, those old slickers didn't buy it.
Li Xian's account, I'm afraid they all found excuses to run away, Li Xian's ant on the hot pot must have been very angry, and Li Xian was secretly amused.
After enduring it, he walked over and said hello softly.
"Seventh brother has arrived at just the right time. What does the father want?"
Hearing the noise, Li Xian immediately raised his head. Seeing that Li Xian had arrived, he immediately became energetic and rushed to Li Xian's side with a big step, roaring anxiously.
asked.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. My father's will is here. The sixth brother will preside over the thorough investigation, and I will assist you. The time limit is ten days, so as to find out the truth."
Li Xian smiled slightly, raised the imperial edict in his hand high above his head, and answered with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Okay, okay, the seventh brother has made a great contribution." Li Xian was angry with the officials of Dali Temple before and was thinking about how to deal with those guys who didn't know how to praise. When Gaozong heard this, he
With such an edict, he was immediately overjoyed. He punched Li Xian with a smile and praised him. Then, with a solemn look on his face, he bowed and took the imperial edict from Li Xian's hand, spread it out carefully, and quickly passed it aside, frowning.
He frowned suddenly and looked at Li Xian doubtfully, as if he wanted to speak.
"Sixth brother, my father has said that this case will be handled by you and me. If we can't handle it, it will be a lot of fun."
Li Xian was a shrewd person. Even if Li Xian never spoke, Li Xian knew who he wanted to ask. He just wanted to ask about the arrangement of Liu Yizhi, who was originally recommended by Empress Wu, and Liu Boying, who was recommended by the prince.
Li Xian has naturally thought about the question a long time ago. The answer is very simple. It is not that Gaozong forgot about this incident, but that he deliberately ignored the past. In addition to sincerely wanting to find out the actual situation of Dali Temple
, in fact, there is no lack of intention to cultivate the two brothers Li Xian. The twists and turns here are complicated, and it is impossible to explain them in detail in such a chatty place. Li Xian can only use a casual tone, vaguely
He said something.
"Well, seventh brother's words make sense. This matter should be taken care of sooner rather than later. Now that Father's imperial decree has arrived, let's get started."
Li Xian's temperament is a bit more upright, but he is extremely smart. After just a moment's thought, he understood the unfinished meaning of Li Xian's words, and immediately a sinister smile flashed across his face, and he spoke unambiguously.
Made a decision.
"Sixth brother just handle it, and I will serve Jiwei."
Now that things have come to this, it is naturally better to start as early as possible, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams. Li Xian will not object to Li Xian's decision, so he took a small step back, cupped his fists and responded.
"Okay, here comes someone!"
Seeing that Li Xian agreed with his decision, Li Xian's spirit was immediately lifted, and he drank loudly.
"My slave is here."
Zhang Che had been waiting at the entrance of the hall for a long time. When he heard Li Xian's words, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He led several guards and generals of Prince Lu's Palace and rushed into the hall, and hurriedly bowed to answer.
"Zhang Che, go and tell all the seventh-rank and above officials of Dali Temple to come to the lobby immediately to receive the order. Li Qicheng, Gu Ling'er immediately mobilized all the personal guards of the palace to take over the defense of Dali Temple. Wu Gu or the seventh brother ordered that no one can enter or leave without authorization.
!" Li Xian was always decisive in his actions. Once he made up his mind, he was unambiguous in issuing orders.
"My slave obeys the order."
Zhang Che had been following Li Xian for a long time, and he knew that Li Xian had never tolerated anything in his eyes. Without asking why, he hurriedly responded and led the people into the back hall.
"Your Highness, this..."
Li Qicheng, the commander of Prince Lu's palace, had just been transferred from the Youyu Lin Army and was not yet Li Xian's confidant. When he heard that Li Xian's order was suspected of violating the rules, he did not dare to accept the order easily, but he did not dare to
He refuted Li Xian's order on the spot, and could only make a grimace, murmur a few times, and show hesitation.
"This is the holy decree. Does Li Dianjun want to resist it?"
The appointment of the royal army has always been assigned to the Ministry of War. Even if you are a prince, it is difficult for you to get involved. Li Xian is actually not interested in the newly appointed Li Qicheng and is just making do with it. At this time, he sees how much he cares about him.
There were doubts about the order given, so he was even more unhappy. Then he put a straight face on his face, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and asked in a cold voice.
"The last general will not dare, the last general will accept the order!"
When Li Qicheng saw the unhappy look on Li Xian's face, he didn't dare to show off his strength. He hurriedly bowed and accepted the promise, rushed out of the hall in a hurry, and was busy mobilizing troops and generals.
"Sixth brother, there are still people from Jingzhao Mansion outside. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid it will be bad. It's better for me to go and make a trip."
Li Xian was not familiar with Li Qicheng. He had only met Li Qicheng a few times in his previous life. He only knew that this man was the second son of the late Youwuwei General Li Daliang.
He served as a military officer of Prince Lu for a period of time, but he was quickly transferred back to the army. Later, he was killed in Xue Rengui's westward expedition to the Tianshan Mountains.
It was obvious that he was not very reassured, so he gave a suggestion from the side.
"Well, things are important here. Seventh brother, please go and come back soon." Li Xian himself was not too relieved about Li Qicheng. Hearing that Li Xian volunteered to arrange defense, there was no reason why he was not allowed to do so.
"Don't worry, sixth brother, I will come back as soon as I go."
Li Xian nodded in response, then strode out of the lobby, not caring about how Li Qicheng arranged his troops, and walked straight to the cordon of Jingzhao Mansion not far away.
"I have met Your Highness."
Cui Jing is indeed an old official, very alert. After the two kings appeared, he stopped outside Dali Temple and refused to take a step into the Yamen. However, he did not dare to leave just like that. He could only stay honest and honest.
Staying at the cordon, when they saw Li Xianxing approaching, they immediately led two deputies, Liu Shaan and Chen Renhao, to greet him and greeted Li Xian respectfully.
"Cui Fu Yin, you don't have to be polite. My father has made a decree. All matters in Dali Temple are decided by King Lu. The soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion no longer need to stay here. Just withdraw." Li Xian said to Cui Jing.
It’s hard to say that I have much favorable impressions of old cunning bureaucrats, but I’m not disgusted with them either. After all, such characters are too common in the officialdom and are not worthy of being called real at all. Therefore, Li Xian is just plain.
He gave the order in a very polite manner without saying much else.
"Ah, that's good, that's good, I'll go and give the order now. I'll go and give the order right now."
The pond in front of him was really too deep, and Cui Jing wished he could get away quickly. When he heard Li Xian's instructions, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed, turning around.
Need to leave.
"Wait a minute, the soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion can be withdrawn, but the policemen must be sent in as soon as possible, so as not to miss important events."
Seeing Cui Jing and the others eager to run away, Li Xian was so angry and amused that he had to add something quickly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this will be easy. I will go and call someone right away."
Cui Jing was startled by Li Xian's "Wait a minute". His chubby body trembled obviously, and his movements when he turned back became much stiffer. But when he heard that Li Xian was just asking for a few gangsters, he was hanging in the air.
His heart immediately dropped to the ground, and he quickly responded with a smile.
"This is the best." Li Xian was really too lazy to look at the charming smile on Cui Jing's face that looked as ugly as crying. After saying something, he cast his eyes on Chen Renhao, who looked obviously uneasy, and said with a half-smile.
He said: "Could it be that Chen Shaoyin has forgotten my previous confession? After such a long time, could it be that Chen Shaoyin still hasn't found the soldier who reported the news?"
"this……"
As soon as Li Xian's question came out, the uneasiness on Chen Renhao's face immediately became more intense, he hesitated, and his eyelids jumped wildly involuntarily.
"Um?"
Seeing that Chen Renhao didn't say anything for a long time, Li Xian's face immediately dropped, and he snorted sinisterly, and suddenly pressed towards Chen Renhao with a huge momentum.
"Your Highness, Ming, Mingjian, I'm here, I've been looking for that person, and I've found that person. Please allow me to come here, so I'm going to call him." Li Xian's aura was accumulated in three lifetimes.
It is not something that a person like Chen Renhao can afford. Poor Chen Renhao is a high-ranking official of the fourth rank after all, but he is so frightened that he is trembling all over and can hardly speak.
"Well, I'll help you with Chen Shaoyin."
What Li Xian wanted was this result. When he saw what Chen Renhao said, Li Xian didn't think too much about himself. He restrained his intimidating aura, smiled faintly, and gave an easy-going order.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right now. I'll go right now."
Chen Renhao gasped as if he was receiving an amnesty. He turned around and rushed towards the soldiers on duty not far away. After a while, he led a sturdy government servant back and hurriedly asked Li Xian
He bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is the person who brought the message."
"Oh? What a man, not bad, not bad."
Li Xian looked at the yamen servant with great interest and praised him with a smile.
"Little Yan He has met His Royal Highness King Zhou."
The yamen servant seemed to be very courageous. In front of a prince like Li Xian, he did not panic at all, and the etiquette he performed was extremely good.
"Yan He? This one is doing well. I heard that you discovered the fire in Dali Temple and reported it to Chen Shaoyin urgently. But is that true?" Li Xian narrowed his eyes and asked in a casual manner.
road.
"That's true."
Yan He seemed to be a man who cherished words as much as gold. He answered very simply, but did not give a detailed explanation.
"Well, well, I still have something to ask you, so Yan Zhuangshi will stay here for now. Gao Miao will send a few brothers to accompany Yan Zhuangshi." Li Xianyi looked at Yan Heyi with admiration.
After a while, he waved his hand and gave the order in an unquestionable tone. As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone waiting immediately became strange...
