Reckless? It seems a little bit. Compared with Li Xian's past tendency to hide when trouble comes, today's act of volunteering is indeed a bit reckless. Of course, if possible, Li Xian actually doesn't want to do it so early.
Exposed to Empress Wu's sight, this was not only due to considerations of strength, but also because Li Xian himself had not yet been able to accurately position himself. In other words, Li Xian had not yet been able to identify the three.
With different lives, or three different souls completely integrated into one, it is not suitable to randomly participate in such important court affairs at this moment. It is a pity that Li Xian had to do so as a last resort.
The cause of Shangguan Yi's death, the unjust death and the symbolic significance of his death may not be clear to others, but Li Xian, who has experienced it once, knows it well - from the obvious point of view, Shangguan Yi is because of
Xu Jingzong, an important minister of the Hou Party, reported that Shangguan Yi conspired with the deposed prince Li Zhong to rebel, and was ordered by Empress Wu to kill his whole family. However, in fact, Shangguan Yi was secretly ordered by Empress Wu because he helped Gaozong draft the abolition of the imperial edict and failed.
Xu Jingzong was framed and suffered disaster.
In the previous life, Gaozong Li Zhi also made a lot of efforts to save Shangguan Yi's life. He wanted to take advantage of Empress Wu's confinement and was unable to govern, and issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world. Unfortunately, Xu Jingzong thought that the princess was not born enough.
The edict was rejected in the name of amnesty. Even if Gaozong personally talked to Xu Jingzong, it would be of no avail. The emperor and his ministers argued for three days, and Xu Jingzong reluctantly agreed to attach it. But by that time, all the men in Shangguanyi's family were already there.
The day before, Li Zhi was executed in prison by the Secret Service, and Li Zhi's efforts were completely in vain. After this incident, the frustrated Li Zhi became decadent, and the power of the court gradually fell into the hands of Empress Wu.
Therefore, it can be said with certainty that the sudden death of Shangguan Yi was the benchmark signal that the power of the court was accelerating from Gaozong to Empress Wu.
Li Xian has always admired Shangguan Yi's talent, both in his past life and in this life, but this is not the main reason for rashly stepping forward this time. The real reason is that Li Xian does not want to see Empress Wu completely taking control of the court situation prematurely. He
It takes enough time to lay a solid foundation for himself. According to Li Sheng's way of thinking, Shangguan Yi is not immortal. He can die under the hooves of a galloping horse, die of a sudden illness, or even die of an assassination.
But he could not die alone due to Gaozong's helplessness. In the previous life, Li Xian, who also experienced the same thing, chose to sit silently and watch, but this time Li Xian did not want to remain silent anymore. In order to change his extremely miserable future
Li Xian chose to take the initiative to make changes, just to see if the butterfly wings could set off a storm that would change his destiny!
It is natural to be anxious. Seeing his father unable to make a decision for a long time, Li Xian felt anxious in his heart, but he did not dare to make any further comments because his previous volunteering had attracted the attention of the two of his family members.
Li Xian didn't want to be in the limelight and become the target of his two brothers. Furthermore, Li Xian knew his father's temperament well. If he spoke too clearly, not only would he not be able to help Gaozong make a decision.
, on the contrary, it would frighten him into shrinking back, which would be counterproductive. Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, Li Xian could only grit his teeth and endure it, quietly waiting for Gaozong to make a decision.
"What Xian'er said is quite reasonable, but Mr. Xu..."
Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi obviously understood the unfinished meaning of Li Xian's words - bypassing the normal procedures, first creating a fait accompli, and then filing a lawsuit in the court. At that time, because of Empress Wu's confinement,
Therefore, the rear party members are bound to be unable to obtain effective support from Empress Wu. It is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose in this court debate. Even if they lose, it doesn't matter. They can't recapture those who have been amnesty. After all,
The Tian family still needs face. In this way, the lives of Shangguan Yi and his family can be saved. At most, they can only be given a punishment of being banished to the frontier and never used again. And this, compared with Shangguan Yi's full family being
In terms of the consequences of beheading, it is already many times stronger. The strategy is not a brilliant one, but it is a pity that Li Zhi's cowardice comes from his bones. Even if he understands the key, in the end,
Still too hesitant to take a chance, he wandered around for a long time and only half of his words came out.
Alas, Father, Father, could you ever be more cowardly? A good emperor has been treated like this by you! As soon as he heard what Li Zhi said, Li Xian's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
I want to speak out loudly, but unfortunately I want to think about it, but I can't do it - a rash move can be said to be reckless, and speaking out one after another of shocking words is asking for death. Therefore, even if there is something in my heart,
Unwilling to give in, Li Xian could only endure it, lowered his head, and did not look at Gaozong's confused face.
It can be said that Gaozong's fear of Xu Jingzong has been around for a long time. Not only was Xu Jingzong himself the right prime minister and provincial minister, who had great power for a while, but also because of the people standing behind Xu Jingzong.
Wu Meiniang is such a big mountain, of course, Xu Jingzong's own tricky character is also an important factor for Emperor Gaozong's scruples - Xu Jingzong, courtesy name Yanzu, a native of Xincheng, Hangzhou. He has a rare literary name. In the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, he promoted talents and awarded them to Huai
The judicial secretary of Yang County soon entered the audience and reported on the personnel affairs of the Tongshishe. After his father Xu Shanxin was killed by Yu Wenhuaji, Xu Jingzong immediately joined the Limi Wagang Uprising Army and served as the secretary of the Marshal's Mansion. After the defeat of the Wagang Army,
After descending to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard of his name and called him a bachelor of literature. He successively held important positions such as Zhongshu Sheren, Wei Weiqing, and Minister of Rites. He was famous for his good governance. In the sixth year of Yonghui, he supported Wu Meiniang as his queen.
After winning favor, he was promoted to the rank of Shizhong, and later he was given the title of Right Chancellor. He was sinister and ruthless, and all the officials in the court were afraid of him. Even Gaozong himself had some helplessness towards Xu Jingzong.
"Father, it is the benevolence of my father to grant amnesty to the whole world. We should do it as soon as possible. The child is not talented. I would like to request an order to go to Menxia Province to deal with this matter. I sincerely ask my father for permission." Li Xian originally said to Xu Jingzong, who was twelve years old.
He couldn't stand it. When he saw Gaozong saying this, he immediately became angry. In addition, with Li Xian's previous example of speaking generously, Li Xian stood up and volunteered to ask for help.
road.
"Well, that's alright. It's fine if Xian'er wants to go, but it's better not to get into an argument." Li Zhi looked at Li Xian hesitantly, and then at the other two sons beside him. He hesitated for a while.
After that, he took a deep breath and reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's request, but in the end he was still worried that Li Xian would make things worse, so he gave a careful warning.
"Father, don't worry, I will come back as soon as I leave." Although Li Xian is only twelve years old, he has already begun to get involved in government affairs. However, due to identity issues, he used to act secretly and never dared to participate openly. This time he became serious.
He was so excited that he didn't think carefully about the stakes behind the whole thing. He hurriedly responded, held the imperial edict and walked out of the hall, leading several young eunuchs to go excitedly.
I went to the front door and hurried over.
No chance, absolutely no chance! Looking at Li Xian's hurried away figure, although Li Xian really hoped that Li Xian could handle this matter, his reason told him clearly that this matter would definitely not be accomplished. Not only could it not be accomplished, but it would
Although he wanted to make some suggestions, Li Xian wisely swallowed his advice after looking at the eunuchs and maidens who were waiting in the palace.
As expected by Li Xian, Li Xian left quickly and came back even faster. Before the inner palace could carry Princess Taiping out, Li Xian rushed back angrily with a childish little face.
It was all red and purple, and just like that, you didn't need to ask to know how painful the sap that Li Xian received was. Seeing this, the light of expectation in Gaozong's eyes dimmed instantly.
"Father, Mr. Xu fell in love with him, he... Humph!" Li Xian walked up to the dragon table angrily, put the rolled imperial edict on the table, blushed, and was about to curse, but the words got out of his mouth.
But he felt it was inappropriate, so he forced himself back, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Xian'er, don't be anxious, let me think about this for a while..." Although Li Xian didn't explain clearly what happened, Li Zhi had already guessed what happened. Seeing how angry Li Xian was, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When she was about to say something to comfort her, she saw a group of palace maids, surrounded by a midwife holding a baby, coming out of the inner hall. Her beloved daughter was so anxious that she didn't even bother to finish her words. She suddenly stood up and took three steps together.
He walked over in two steps.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the little princess weighs six pounds and is white and tender. She is naturally beautiful and unparalleled in the world..." The midwife was obviously a master of flattery. When she saw Gaozong running over, she quickly bowed and held the baby in her arms.
He stood up and kept chattering flattery, just like a chattering magpie. Of course, he was the fattest one.
"Hahaha. Okay, okay, reward, reward, hurry up, let me hug you." Gaozong was so full of love at this time that he had already forgotten all the previous unhappiness, and all he could think about was the newborn baby.
Princess Taiping hurriedly hugged the little princess into her arms, looking at it with a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth were so full of laughter that her ears were split.
The three Li Hong brothers originally planned to discuss the imperial edict, but when they saw that their father was no longer thinking about it, they were helpless. It was obvious that they were no longer brothers.
As much as the three of them could handle, the brothers looked at each other and had nothing to say, so they had to adjust their minds and get together one after another, surrounding the newborn little sister, and having a good time, of course.
Yes, it's just for fun - newborn babies, regardless of gender, all have wrinkled skin, just like little old men. They are really unattractive. People are waiting for compliments and they are just flattering. Listen.
It gives people goosebumps, especially for Li Xian who has long been familiar with the future of Princess Taiping. He is very impatient to hear it. However, in such an occasion, it is not the place for Li Xian to have fun, so he can only
My mouth was catering to it indiscriminately, but my thoughts had already gone to nowhere.
