When he saw Li Xian doing this, he obviously lost his composure. Although Empress Wu was secretly happy, her face suddenly became cold and stared at Li Xian coldly, and squeezed out a few words from her teeth.
"promise!"
Although Wu Chengsi was so tall that he had just reached the temple, he was not at all afraid. When he heard Empress Wu's words, he flashed out from the side without panic. He bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully. Then he stood up straight, slowly spread out a memorial in his hand, cleared his throat, and reported seriously: "Since Yonghui, the world has been peaceful and education has been flourishing, so that the emperor could not bear it, so he set up a special competition, thinking that the way for aspiring people to serve the court is a special kindness. Since the third year of Xianheng, it has been customized, and it has been indefinitely talented, and the country has been a great achievement, and it is not a worldly achievement, and it is not a villain to do it.
In this case, the court and the government were shocked for a lifetime. It was not enough to calm the public's anger without thorough investigation. The empress was not abandoned by the emperor and was able to preside over the case. He was afraid to be proud of himself. He did not dare to slacken at all. He did not dare to relax for three days and three nights. It was up to Your Majesty's great blessing. Finally, he learned the whole story. According to investigation: The chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Qi colluded with Wang Shi, the Minister of Revenue, Xie Sheng, the Minister of Personnel, Sun Ze, the Minister of Rites, and Li Qisheng, the Minister of Justice, and used his position to sell test questions to seek huge profits. The crime was unforgivable. I begged Your Majesty to be approved and arrest all the criminals involved in the case, and find out the truth to the whole world!"
"Speak nonsense! This is absolutely impossible! You talk nonsense! You..."
Before entering the hall, Li Xian knew that Empress Wu would definitely make a big fuss about the crime of corruption. At least he was somewhat mentally prepared. However, he never expected that Wu Chengsi was so cruel. He went on a net and put the strength of the court that Li Xian had at the moment. He was immediately so angry that he looked at him and didn't care that this was the imperial front. He pointed at Wu Chengsi and roared angrily.
"presumptuous!"
Empress Wu was waiting to catch Li Xian's painful foot. Seeing that he was so incompetent, he would never miss this opportunity to attack Li Xian. Before Li Xian finished speaking, he shouted without hesitation.
"Father, this case is definitely not what the Minister of War Wu said. The child thought there must be another hidden truth. The child begged him to issue an edict to select another talent to thoroughly investigate the case!"
In a hurry, Li Xian had no time to be angry with Empress Wu. He didn't care how ugly Empress Wu's face was. He bowed to Emperor Gaozong and asked in great panic.
"Um?"
Emperor Gaozong ignored Li Xian's request, but said lightly without knowing the so-called, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Wu Chengsi, who was quite lustful with expressionless expression.
"I will report to Your Majesty. I dare not deceive Your Majesty with false words. All the things I have reported are based on. The current criminal Lynch and the confession of more than a dozen candidates who bought the exam questions are here. I would like to ask Your Majesty to read it."
Wu Chengsi came prepared and was not afraid of Li Xian's anger. Seeing that Gao Zong looked over, he immediately bowed humbly, took out dozens of rolled documents from his broad sleeves, held them in both hands, and raised them high above his head.
“Shift it!”
Gaozong's face was still dull, but there was a flash of invisible light in his eyes, but there was no sign of anything else. He just gave a plain command, and Cheng Denggao, who was serving him, walked over quickly, took the stack of documents from Wu Chengsi, and respectfully handed them to Gaozong.
"You are crazy, be really crazy, look at it, let's have a good time, these are all the so-called wise men whom you rely on! Hum!"
Gao Zong shook his wide sleeves, reached out to pick up the document, and spread it open. As soon as he saw it, his brows frowned, and his hand was turning faster and faster. At the end, he was already angrily rubbing all the documents into a ball, smashing them towards Li Xian, and cursing him angrily.
"Father, son minister, son minister..."
Li Xian had already put all the hope of turning the tables on Emperor Gaozong. Seeing Emperor Gaozong so furious, his heart was extremely cold. What followed was extremely panic. His body trembled involuntarily, his feet became soft, and he had already kneeled on the ground, stammering and not knowing what to say.
"I have entrusted the court to you. I originally hoped that you could do your best, but you are so disappointed that you accept villains and compare them with treacherous friends!"
Emperor Gaozong was angry, but he was not soft-hearted because of Li Xian's pitiful behavior. He was scolding with heartache. His bad tone immediately made Li Xian sweat and burst into tears.
"Don't rest your anger, please stop your anger!"
Now that the incident has come to an end, even though he knows that there is something else in this case, Li Xian has no longer the courage to argue in front of Emperor Gaozong, and can only kowtow and mourn repeatedly.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to offend you, so you don't have to worry about this case anymore."
After Emperor Gaozong took a few breaths, he did not get another attack. He just waved his hand lazily and issued a ban on Li Xian. Then he raised his tone and shouted: "Wu Chengsi!"
"I'm here!"
Wu Chengsi was watching the excitement with great enthusiasm. He suddenly heard Gaozong's name pointing, and was really shocked. Fortunately, he lowered his head, but he didn't expect Gaozong to find something wrong. He hurriedly calmed down, flashed out of the side, and responded loudly.
"I give you the decree to arrest the city foxes and rats involved in the case, and go for a long trial. Be sure to give an explanation to the people of the world, go!"
Emperor Gaozong did not seek the opinions of the Empress of Wu, and ignored Li Xian's begging eyes. He gritted his teeth and issued an oral order.
"I promise, I am obeying the order!"
Wu Chengsi was in high spirits for the trial of the case, so he would not miss such a great opportunity to make contributions and invite favor. He bowed happily and did not look at Li Xian, who was kneeling on the ground. After taking a few steps back, he turned around and walked out of the hall, and arranged for the matter of not mentioning the matter.
"Father, no, Father, this matter..."
The prince was already extremely frightened, but when he heard Emperor Gaozong issued such an edict, he became anxious immediately. However, due to Emperor Gaozong's anger, he did not dare to plead for mercy without authorization. When he saw Wu Chengsi leaving, he could no longer bear it. You must know that all the so-called officials involved in the case were the loyal ministers promoted by him, Li Xian. Once all of them were taken down, although Li Xian would not be alone, he was seriously injured, but it was a destiny. At this point, Li Xian didn't care about panic, so he raised his head suddenly, and plucked up his courage, and planned to make a judgment on Yan Qiang.
"Hmph, I have said that there is no need to worry about this matter, why? I can't count my words, huh?"
Emperor Gaozong didn't leave any face for Li Xian, and asked in a gloomy tone.
"The father calms down, but the sons dare not."
Emperor Gaozong's words were extremely serious. If he had to bear it, it would be a serious crime of disobedience. Li Xian was filled with indignation, but at this time, he did not dare to say more. He could only kneel on the ground with aggrievedness, kowtowed a few times, and said no.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you. I've been feeling unwell in the past two years and I'm really impatient with the troubles of court affairs. I originally hoped that I could support the country's work. Perhaps because of my high hopes, I couldn't blame you. Well, I'll help you find a check-up. From now on, your mother will be responsible for this matter. However, all the court affairs you handle must be checked by your mother before you can do it!"
Emperor Gaozong's original intention was to hit the prince, and he would not have a desire to depose him. At this time, Li Xian was already embarrassed and did not cause any more trouble. However, he did not intend to just put Li Xian in a vain so easily. Instead, he unceremoniously added a tight curse to Li Xian's power to supervise the country.
"ah……"
Li Xian never expected that the punishment given by Emperor Gaozong would be so heavy. When he heard this, he was stunned. He raised his head in surprise, looked at Emperor Gaozong at a loss, and completely forgot the order to thank him.
"Well? Do you want to resist the order?"
Seeing Li Xian doing this, Emperor Gaozong's face, which had just been slow, immediately became ugly again and said coldly.
"My son dare not, but I will receive the order to thank me."
Helpless, aggrieved, but nowhere to explain it, this is a reflection of Li Xian's mood at this time. However, no matter how much unwilling or guilt he had, facing Gaozong who insisted on his own opinion, he had no choice but to reason. In such a field, Li Xian had no other way to go except to receive the order honestly.
"It's so good, you're too scarce."
All that should be said has been done, and all that should be done has been done. Emperor Gaozong was in poor health. After this incident, fatigue surged up uncontrollably. He really had no intention of comforting Li Xian's injured little heart. He yawned hard, waved his hand impatiently, and issued an order to expel the guest without any hesitation.
"Yes, the father, the emperor, and the son, took his leave."
Seeing that the Gao Zong had made up his mind, Li Xian knew that even if he had said something even more, it would be useless. He didn't want to be too sad in this sad place. So he kowtowed, sued him, and then withdrew from the Qianyuan Palace in a bad mood and left the palace gate in a soft chariot.
"Your Highness, you..."
The eunuch of the Eastern Palace, Zhang Che, led a group of Eastern Palace guards to wait bored outside the Zetian Gate. When he saw Li Xian sitting on the soft chariot, he was extremely surprised. He rushed forward and asked half of his words in surprise.
"Hmph, go back to the palace!"
Li Xian was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to explain much to Zhang Che. He glared at his eyes and yelled angrily. Then, he didn't care about how Zhang Che's expression was. He jumped off the soft chariot in anger and strode towards the Jin Chuang car parked beside him. The anger made Zhang Che silly and stunned for a moment, then followed him in panic. Unexpectedly, Li Xian had just walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped his feet. Zhang Che, who could not dodge, hit Li Xian's back and immediately hit Li Xian with unstable foothold and almost fell to the ground.
"Ah, your highness calms down, I should die, I should die."
Zhang Che grew up with Li Xian as a child. He knew how terrible it was when Li Xian was angry. Seeing that Li Xian had already stared at him, he immediately became paralyzed and hurriedly fell to the ground and began to mourn.
"Hmph, trash! Go, Di Renjie, the young minister of Xuan Dali Temple, will come to the East Palace to meet him. Why don't you go quickly? Are you trying to die?"
Although Li Xian was angry at this moment, he was worried about such a major event as Empress Wu was in charge of the court, but he didn't have time to argue with Zhang Cheduo. He glared at him and scolded him and ordered him.
"Ah, yes, I'll go now, go now!"
Zhang Che was confused and didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He quickly agreed to the promise, turned over, rushed towards the crowd of guards beside him, snatched a war horse, and casually ordered several guards to accompany him. He rode his horse and rushed towards Di Renjie's mansion...
