"Your Highness, something big happened in Zhao Prison. Last night, Cui Xuanzhe committed suicide by throwing himself into a bamboo basket. Shangguan Fu hit the wall and died. Xue Rengui, the general of the Zuoyu Lin Army, has ordered the prison to be under martial law. All news from inside and outside has been cut off." Li Xian waved back.
After a group of maids, Gao Miao hurriedly came closer, lowered his voice, and hurriedly reported the report.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" When Li Xian heard this, his face immediately showed a look of astonishment, but his heart was peaceful, because he had guessed such a result a few days ago, and since then
I don’t think there is anything surprising about things like this that should be extremely strange.
Over the years, the reason why Wu Meiniang has been able to exercise power in the court is not because her party members are all over the court. In fact, there are not too many die-hard rear party members in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty, especially those who are qualified to go to court.
It was so pitiful that there were only a dozen people after all. But there was a reason why such a small number of rear party members were able to run rampant in the court. Except for the two prime ministers Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, who had just been demoted and exiled last year.
In addition to controlling Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng respectively, thereby controlling the power to issue and refute imperial edicts, the more important reason is that Dali Temple has basically become the base camp of the rear party - Dali Temple Qing
Although Duan Baoxuan was not a queen, he had been severely punished by Empress Wu regarding the impeachment of Li Yifu. He was already frightened. In addition, due to his old age, he basically no longer took charge of affairs. He just held an empty title.
As for Yuan Gongyu, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, Shan Ye, the Zhenghou of Dali, and even more than half of the middle and lower-level officials such as the Dali Judges, they are basically die-hard rear party members.
With a weapon like Dali Temple in hand, and coupled with officials like Cui Xuanzhe, whoever dares to go against Empress Wu, how can there be a good one? He can just go to Dali Temple with a bullet.
There is no crime that cannot be tried, and things like silence are even easier. This routine is Wu Meiniang's invincible magic weapon. Li Xian, who has experienced the suffering in his previous life, knows this very well. Therefore, in the Tai Chi Palace, Wu Meiniang
When it was proposed that Dali Temple should continue the trial, Li Xian had already concluded that Cui Xuanzhe and Shangguan Fu, the two key witnesses, were certain to die. Unfortunately, Li Xian did not dare and could not express such inferences. After all,
He simply doesn't have the strength to do anything wantonly.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely true. It is the news that Lin Hu's second brother fought his way out of the prison. It should be true." Seeing the disbelief on Li Xian's face, Gao Miao couldn't help but become anxious and hurriedly explained.
road.
"Well, that's it. Alas, it's a big deal. That's all. Since Lin Hu has accomplished this feat, he will be promoted to the position of Marriage Officer (official name, Prince's Guard, seventh rank title.), and in addition, from the accountant's office.
Withdraw fifteen strings and divide them among the people. Just watch and do it. Gu want to live quietly!" Li Xian naturally knew the authenticity of this matter, but he didn't want to show it in front of others, even in front of others.
The same was true for such a loyal subordinate like Gao Miao, who pretended to be troubled and lamented. In the end, he did not forget to reward the subordinates who had made great contributions.
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Since Li Xian gave the order, Gao Miao did not dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly answered and went to take care of everything without mentioning anything.
Finally I took action, what a spicy trick! It’s not that easy to cut off a strong man’s wrist, eh, Xue Rengui? He actually asked Xue Rengui to lead his troops to Dali Temple. I’m afraid it’s not that woman’s trick. In this case, my father should be
It's only right to be suspicious. It's a pity that Xue Rengui can fight well. Asking him to investigate the case will be useless. Is there anything that can be used here? After Gao Miao left, Li Xian paced back and forth in the main room alone.
, carefully pondering the strangeness behind this whole thing, trying to find some space that can be used, I have thought of a lot of ways, but when it comes to the success rate, I really don’t have much confidence, and I can’t help but feel a little unsure for a while.
I became upset.
The opportunity is not impossible, but it is a pity that it is difficult to take advantage of it. The reason is very simple. Things need people to handle things. What Li Xian lacks most right now is precisely manpower. Not to mention the important ministers in the court, such as the supervisory censor.
Li Xian, an inconspicuous little official, didn't even have it in his hands. It was almost impossible to make trouble over the imperial edict. Even if Li Xian jumped out and shouted loudly, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble. Besides, it's not his time to show up now.
At the right time, at least before his wings are full, Li Xian does not intend to conflict with Wu Meiniang head-on. What he did in the Tai Chi Palace in the previous episode was already the limit, or it was a risk, but once it was done, it could never be repeated. Li Xian knew this well.
, but Li Xian was really unwilling to see the opportunity lost!
Using Li Xian again? That is somewhat feasible. The problem is that Li Xian is not a marionette in the hands of Li Xian. Once Li Xian sees something fishy, it will miss important things. After all, for a long time in the future,
, Li Xian still needs a shield like Li Xian to cover up his various little moves, so he is not willing to make all-out moves at this time.
"Your Highness."
Just when Li Xian was immersed in deep thought, Gao Miao left and came back again, calling softly, which immediately woke Li Xian up from his deep thoughts.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Li Xianzheng was upset, and when Gao Miao was so disturbed, he couldn't help but frown, and said coldly, his tone full of displeasure.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang from Prince Lu's Mansion is here. He said that His Highness, Prince Lu, would like to ask His Highness to come over to the mansion immediately to speak." Upon hearing that Li Xian's tone was wrong, Gao Miao did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Passing the government?" Upon hearing Li Xian's invitation, Li Xian couldn't help but be slightly startled, rolled his eyes, and murmured, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision, but frowned slightly.
After pacing back and forth in the room for a few steps, he raised his head, waved his hand expressionlessly and said: "Get your car ready, let's go for a walk now!"
In the study room of Prince Lu's Mansion, Li Xian was sitting on his knees in front of several people with a sullen face. His face was full of evil spirits, and he looked like he should keep away from others. Some scraps of paper were randomly thrown around not far away from him. It was obviously Li Xian's anger.
The servants waiting on the side seemed to be very frightened. They all had tense faces and did not even dare to look at Li Xian. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.
"His Royal Highness King Zhou is here!"
An announcement came from outside the study, but Li Xian continued to sit on his knees as before, without even raising his head.
"Sixth brother." Li Xiangang entered the study room and saw Li Xian's angry look. His heart moved and he had already guessed what Li Xian was thinking, but he did not rush to point it out, but pretended not to know.
Di Xing stepped forward, bowed and said hello.
"Here, sit down." Hearing the noise, Li Xian finally raised his head, gestured impatiently to indicate that Li Xian should sit opposite him, and then waved to the servants waiting on the side and said: "
You guys stand down!"
"Promise." The servants had already stood up and trembled. When Li Xian called him away, they all agreed as if they had been released again, and hurriedly retreated. Only the two young brothers were left facing each other in the study.
sit.
"Seventh brother, you have heard everything. Something happened again in the imperial edict. Humph, it was said that Shenzi committed suicide out of fear of crime. From my brother's point of view, this is silence. It's shameless. It's so shameless. Gu, Gu should be impeached in this book.
These thieves! Seventh Brother, are you willing to second the proposal?" Li Xian was obviously very angry. Just after the servants retreated, he clapped several times and roared angrily.
Sure enough, this guy is really impatient! Li Xian secretly despised Li Xian in his heart, but his face was full of respect. He cupped his hands and said: "Sixth brother, don't worry, I can do whatever you say, no matter what.
Is it just the original book? Why don’t I want to do it? It’s just..."
"Why, seventh brother is scared?" Li Xian saw that Li Xian stopped mid-sentence, hesitating, and couldn't help but feel angry. He glanced sideways at Li Xian and snorted coldly.
.
"Brother Six, what are you talking about? I am a person who is afraid of getting into trouble. What's wrong with this chapter? However, I don't know who Brother Six wants to get involved with and what purpose he wants to achieve?" Li Xian was not dissatisfied with Li Xian's attitude.
He was angry and moved, but asked calmly.
"Who is Shen? Huh, who is Shen? Those gang of rebellious ministers and traitors dare to do such a bad thing. Isn't it possible for me to join them alone? Is there any justice in this? You say it, you say it!" Li Xian's words had just finished.
, Li Xian jumped up like a firecracker, pointed at Li Xian and roared like a madman.
Come on, if you really want to join people, you have already joined, so why are you so pretentious? They are just afraid that if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. Oh, you dare to think of motivating us to help you pioneer, interesting! Li
Showing his shrewdness, he could see through Li Xian's stern expression at a glance. He laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face. After letting Li Xian vent his anger, he said slowly: "Six
Brother, don't be impatient, I'm dealing with a serious matter, so I'll let you explain a little bit."
"Okay, okay, you say it, you say it!" After Li Xian vented for a while, the annoyance in his heart had disappeared a lot. After listening to what Li Xian said, he seemed to be confident, but he didn't have any more attacks.
He raised his hands and sat down dejectedly.
"Sixth brother, although the matter is important, there is still room for discussion. Now that the imperial edict case has occurred, it is actually trying to cover up the truth. The reason is known to everyone on the road, not to mention us. Now that Xue Rengui has gone to the imperial edict, I think he is serving his father.
The emperor's order seems to want to find out the truth. However, my brother secretly thought that General Xue would gain nothing by going here. No evidence was obtained. Even if he participated, it would be in vain. The only people who can be punished are just pawns. It is difficult to damage the root. This is in vain.
I disdain to do it, but if I can save Lord Shangguan from death, then this chapter can be published, I wonder what Sixth Brother thinks?"
"Oh? What's the plan?" Li Xian is not stupid. His previous yelling was actually just to vent his unwillingness. He had also considered rescuing Shangguan Yi, but he thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. He was afraid that it would be in vain.
On the contrary, it ruined his reputation as a wise king. The original intention of calling Li Xian here was to ask Li Xian to take the vanguard and test the depth of the water. He did not really want to plan countermeasures with Li Xian, but when he saw Li Xian
What he said was clear and logical, and he really got interested, so he pondered for a moment and asked in a slightly slower tone.
"Brother Six, although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible. I have a strategy here that may work. Please correct me." Seeing that Li Xian had fallen into the trap, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh and stood up.
, leaned over and whispered into Li Xian's ear, which made Li Xian nod his head repeatedly.
