At the moment, Li Xian lacks a team, lacks backers, lacks money, lacks force, lacks almost everything, but he does not lack patience. Others feel that the unbearable pressure of silence has no effect on Li Xian.
Even if this pressure comes from such a frightening person as Wu Meiniang, it is the same. Therefore, although Li Xian's waist is bent uncomfortably, his legs and feet are standing extremely stable, let alone trembling.
Shake it up a bit.
Silence, still silence, Li Xian has been bowing for a long time, but what is waiting is still suffocating silence, but Li Xian remains unmoved, because he knows very well that this is not just
The test of patience is also a test before the confrontation. If Li Xian shows a trace of panic at this time, what awaits him will be a storm of criticism and rebuke from Empress Wu. If that happens, even if Li Xian is torn
It was in vain to yell for Tianqu. No one dared to soften his cheeks in front of the furious Empress Wu. Let alone Li Xian, even Gaozong probably didn't have the guts. In other words, Li Xian could be said to be at this moment.
We are on the edge of a cliff, and there is no other way out except gritting our teeth and persevering.
"Just be flat."
Wu Meiniang stared at Li Xian for a long time, but she never saw any sign of Li Xian wavering. A look of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly covered it up. She looked like she couldn't force him with pressure.
Li showed his flaw, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, and reluctantly spoke in a cold voice.
"After thanking the mother, the child listened respectfully to the mother's instructions."
Li Xian was not lacking in patience, but after bending down for a long time, he felt very uncomfortable. After hearing Wu Hou finally scream, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and looked at Gao with a pair of big eyes innocently.
Wu Meiniang, who was sitting on the dragon bed, replied with great respect.
"Oh? Really? Well, I want to ask you, did the Imperial College's direct talk about Yuan Wanqing ever offend you?" Although Wu Meiniang was surprised by Li Xian's calmness, she still didn't take it to heart and frowned slightly.
He glanced at Li Xian and asked in a cold tone.
"Mother, I don't know the child. The child and Mr. Yuan have never interacted. There is no enmity to speak of. This offending is really out of the question." Li Xianba blinked his big eyes and replied innocently.
"It's hard to talk about. If that's the case, why did you point the knife at me? Are you dissatisfied with me for assigning Yuan Wanqing to give you lectures?" Wu Meiniang was not moved by Li Xian's innocent appearance at all and asked with a cold face.
"The mother knew clearly, how could the child dare to do this? This fact was unexpected. The child was so obsessed with practicing martial arts that he never noticed Lord Yuan's arrival. He was unable to stop in time and frightened Lord Yuan. It's all the child's fault. The child has already complained to Lord Yuan.
He made the truth clear and did not dare to deceive his mother with lies." Li Xian had long known that Empress Wu would ask this question, so he had prepared his answer early. When he saw Empress Wu, he unabashedly wanted to find a way for Yuan Wanqing.
, he immediately called out to Chongtianqulai, his words were stern and impeccable, as if it was he, Li Xian, who was really wronged.
"Practice martial arts? Are you practicing martial arts properly?"
If Wu Meiniang was a little surprised by Li Xian's calmness before, Wu Meiniang was shocked by Li Xian's clear words. You must know that in Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Xian is just a child who will not grow up.
, cowardly and very incompetent, but now there is still a trace of childishness in this calm and fluent reply, which makes Wu Meiniang have to be a little more careful when blaming her.
Li Xian saw Wu Meiniang's reaction, so he didn't know that his performance had aroused Empress Wu's suspicion. Of course, Li Xian had considered this issue thoroughly before acting, and came to the conclusion that he had to do it.
In short, the reason is very simple. With Empress Wu's shrewdness, even if Li Xian pretends to be stupid, he won't be able to pretend for long. As long as Li Xian wants to develop his own power, sooner or later he will be exposed. Instead of being passive then, it is better to do it now.
Showing a little bit of ferocity can also set the stage for her future performance. Besides, after the imprisonment incident, Empress Wu's overall plan has been disrupted. Before she can win over the hearts of the prime ministers, it is impossible for her to
Just like in his previous life, he came to the government immediately to govern, and this rare and stable time is exactly the development space that Li Xian needs. Therefore, Li Xian is not afraid to show his abilities a little.
"If you go back to your mother, baby, baby..."
Facing Empress Wu's pressing steps, Li Xian deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated to tell the truth.
"Um?"
As expected by Li Xian, when Wu Meiniang saw that Li Xian seemed to have something to hide, she immediately snorted coldly, giving Li Xian no chance to dodge.
"Mother, you know that the child is stupid and has limited literary qualifications. Even if he studies hard, he will never have the chance to succeed. Every time the child reflects on it, he feels extremely ashamed. I even read "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and I feel so moved.
The majesty of the champion wiping out the Hulu, and thinking about the feat of those super soldiers who joined the army, the child really longed for it, and also thought that the prince brother and the sixth brother were both well-educated people, the child was far beyond his reach, and Wen couldn't help his father to share his worries, so he deserved it
After working hard in martial arts, I immediately became interested in practicing martial arts. A dozen days ago, I asked Li Taishi about this question, and he was convinced that Li Taishi would not give up.
There is a 30% chance. The child thought that although the 30% chance was small, he would still be able to help his father and mother. This would be convenient for the palace to practice weapons. Unfortunately, despite the guidance of the unknown master, he still couldn’t get the point. The children and ministers were frightened when they saw Wu Meiniang being entangled.
Li Xian was secretly happy because he kept practicing martial arts, but his face was full of panic. He talked a lot, expressing his stance and reasoning. At the end of the day, he didn't forget to treat Li Chunfeng's tiger-skinned face.
Pull it out and wave it around.
Not to mention, what Li Xian said was quite touching. Not only did several prime ministers show admiration on their faces, but Gaozong also looked at Li Xian with a bit more tenderness.
It's just that everyone didn't dare to speak up for Li Xian because of Wu Meiniang's presence.
"Father, Emperor, Mother, I think there is nothing wrong with the seventh brother's desire to pursue martial arts. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is not peaceful. Whenever there are many battles, the desire to pursue martial arts is indispensable. Moreover, the prince's brother is good at literary affairs, so I can understand it."
, but lacks the spirit of conquest. It is a good thing that the seventh brother is willing to join the army now. We should choose a famous teacher for the seventh brother to teach. In the future, we may be able to add a wise king to protect the country." Others did not dare to speak.
, but Li Xian was not afraid, not only because he had promised Li Xian to help, but also because Zhang Dekai's death had deeply stimulated his heart, and he couldn't help but grab it without hesitation.
Before Wu Meiniang expressed her stance, she stood up and openly supported Li Xian.
"Xian'er's words make sense." Emperor Gaozong himself actually yearned for a career of fighting with an iron horse. In his early years, he wanted to conquer Goguryeo in person. Unfortunately, his health was not good. His ministers were firmly opposed to his personal expedition, so he had no choice but to give up.
That's all. At this moment, seeing that both of them were right, he couldn't help but affirmed. However, when he saw Wu Meiniang's unhappy face, Gaozong immediately stopped and said: "It's just, ah, it's just..."
Gaozong was not a very clever person, how could he do such a temporary change of words smoothly? It was "just" that he couldn't do it for a long time, and the embarrassment on his face made everyone want to laugh, but when he said it, , who dares to laugh out loud, but there is no choice, everyone can only hold back and feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, it's not a good thing for Xian'er to be interested in military affairs. However, all generals have their own official duties. How can they be distracted by such a trivial matter as teaching Xian'er? It's better to postpone the matter and discuss it later." Wu Meiniang looked at her with eyes. The topic went off the rails. It was originally meant to reprimand Li Xian for being rude to his master, but now it turned into asking him to select a famous general for Li Xian to teach him martial arts. He was extremely annoyed. How could Li Xian be allowed to do so? It seemed that he had succeeded so easily, so he interrupted.
"Ah, that's right. This matter can be discussed later, or later." Gaozong had always been afraid of guilt. When he heard Wu Meiniang's words, he immediately followed Wu Meiniang's wishes and spoke.
Discuss again? What the hell! Father, Father, can you be any more cowardly? Seeing Gaozong succumb to Empress Wu's lust once again, Li Xian was completely disappointed with Gaozong. In my heart, I despised my father fiercely, but I didn't intend to let the matter end there.
"Father, I think my mother's lesson is correct. All the generals have their own important tasks. How can they be distracted by such a trivial matter as my son Xiang Wu? If I miss the military and state affairs because of this, I will die without mercy. However, my son is not willing to give up." I have a plan, and I beg my father and mother to give me permission." As soon as Gaozong finished speaking, Li Xian immediately took a step forward and spoke loudly.
"Oh? Xian'er has anything else to say, I'll just listen." Seeing that Li Xian refused to give up, Emperor Gaozong couldn't help but frowned. After pondering for a moment, he still withstood Empress Wu's pass. Despite the pressure, Li Xian's request was not directly rejected.
"Reporting to the emperor and the queen, the child believes that the most important thing in martial arts is to practice on oneself. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. Since ancient times, most of the famous generals did not come from famous families. Instead, heroes emerged from the wilderness in large numbers. The child does not dare to expect to be like Su Dingfang. , Xue Rengui and other veteran generals gave me advice, but it would be enough if I could have someone who knew military strategy to teach me." As soon as Gaozong opened his mouth, Li Xian immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick, speaking impassionedly.
"Oh? That's it. I don't know who my son is interested in. Come and tell me." When Emperor Gaozong heard that Li Xian only planned to worship the school captain as his disciple, his curiosity immediately aroused and he asked with a smile.
"If I go back to my father, I don't know who to be my teacher at the moment. Li Taishi only said that if I let my son join Zuo Xiaowei and his party, I will definitely gain something. I really don't dare to deceive my father." Seeing that the situation has been changed by him, After skillfully controlling it, the big stone in Li Xian's heart finally fell to the ground. However, he still did not intend to expose the target prematurely, but just took up the banner of Li Chunfeng and waved it again.
"Well, that's it." Gaozong had always been convinced of Li Chunfeng's ability. Hearing that this was Li Chunfeng's confession, he didn't become suspicious, but he didn't dare to accept it. Instead, he said without comment, and then turned his gaze to He looked at Wu Meiniang and said tentatively: "Meiniang, what do you think of this matter?"
As soon as Gaozong said this, everyone in the palace focused their attention on Wu Meiniang, wanting to hear what Wu Meiniang had to say about this matter.
