Chapter Twenty-Six: Riding the Tide (Part II)

At present, Li Xian lacks a team, a lack of backers, a lack of money, a lack of force, a lack of ......, and almost everything, but there is no lack of patience, others feel that the 120,000 unbearable silent pressure has no effect on Li Xian, even if this pressure comes from a terrifying person like Wu Meiniang, so although Li Xian's waist is uncomfortably bent, his legs and feet are extremely stable, not to mention trembling, even if he has never shaken.

Silence, still silence, Li Xian has bowed down for a full time with a pillar of incense, but what he is waiting for is still a suffocating silence, but Li Xian is still unmoved, just because he knows very well that this is not only a test of patience, but also a test before the confrontation with each other, if Li Xian has a trace of panic at this time, what awaits him must be the stormy attack and reprimand of the Empress Wu, if it is really at that time, even if Li Xian tears his throat and shouts to hit the sky, it is in vain, no one dares to ease his cheeks in front of the angry Empress Wu, not to mention that Li Xian can't, Even Gaozong is afraid and doesn't have the guts, in other words, Li Xian can be said to be on the edge of the cliff at this time, and there is no second way to go except gritting his teeth and insisting.

"Flat."

Wu Meiniang stared at Li Xian for a long time, but she never saw Li Xian show the slightest sign of wavering, and her face couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, but she quickly covered it up, seeing that she couldn't force Li Xian to reveal her flaws with pressure, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, and reluctantly opened her mouth in a cold voice.

"After thanking the mother, the child listens to the mother's instructions."

Li Xian is not lacking in patience, but he has been bending for a long time, but he is also very uncomfortable, and finally called out after hearing Wu, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and looked at Wu Meiniang who was sitting on the dragon bed with big eyes and innocence, and replied respectfully.

"Oh? Really? Well, this palace asks you, did Guozijian say that Yuan Wanqing ever offended you? Although Wu Meiniang was surprised by Li Xian's calmness, she still didn't pay much attention to it, glanced at Li Xian with a slight frown, and asked in a cold tone.

"The queen mother, the child is unknown, the child and the Yuan adult have never intersected, and there is no enmity at all, so it is impossible to talk about this offense." Li Xianba blinked his eyes wide and replied with an innocent expression.

"It's impossible to talk about it, even so, why do you use a knife to each other, is it dissatisfied with the assignment of Yuan Wanqing to give a lecture by the palace?" Wu Meiniang was not moved by Li Xian's innocent appearance at all, and asked with a cold face.

"The queen mother, how dare the child be like this, this fact is unexpected, the child is addicted to martial arts, he really didn't notice the arrival of the Yuan adult, he couldn't stop it for a while, and frightened the Yuan adult, all of the child's faults, the child has already confessed to the Yuan adult, told the truth, and did not dare to lie and coax the queen mother." Li Xian had long known that Empress Wu would ask this, and he had prepared an answer early, and when he saw that Empress Wu was unabashedly going to find a place for Yuan Wanqing, he immediately called out to hit the sky, his words were scorching, and he didn't leak, as if he was really wronged by Li Xian.

"Martial arts? Are you doing martial arts in a good way? ”

If Li Xian's calmness surprised Wu Meiniang a little before, Li Xian's clear words surprised Wu Meiniang, you must know that in Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Xian is a child who doesn't grow up, cowardly and incompetent, but at the moment, there is still a trace of naïve image in such a calm and calm manner, which makes Wu Meiniang have to be a little more careful when she is reproached.

Wu Meiniang's reaction Li Xian saw it in his eyes, how could he not know that his performance had aroused the suspicion of the Empress Wu, of course, this Li Xian had already considered it before acting, and came to the conclusion that he had to do it, the reason is very simple, as far as the shrewdness of the Empress Wu, even if Li Xian pretends to be stupid, he can't pretend to be too long, as long as Li Xian wants to develop his own power, sooner or later he will have to show his feet, rather than be passive at that time, it is better to show a little hideous now, so as to lay a foreshadowing for his future performance, besides, After the edict case, Empress Wu's overall plan has been disrupted, and before she fails to win the hearts of the prime ministers, she can no longer be as immediate as in her previous life, and this rare stable time is exactly the development space that Li Xian needs, so Li Xian is not afraid to show his ability a little.

"When you go back to your mother, child, child......"

Faced with the pressure of Empress Wu step by step, Li Xian deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and did not tell the truth.

"Huh?"

As Li Xian expected, Wu Meiniang saw that Li Xian seemed to have an unspeakable hidden appearance, and immediately snorted coldly, not giving Li Xian a chance to dodge at all.

"Mother, you know, the child has his own stupidity, and limited qualifications in literary affairs, even if he reads hard, it is difficult to have a chance to achieve success, the child every more reflection, ashamed to the extreme, occasionally read the "Book of the Later Han", feel that Huo Champion swept away the majesty of Hu Lu, and think about the feat of the super pen from Rong, the child really yearns for it, and thinks that the prince's brother and the sixth brother are all full of learning, the child is far away, the text can not help the father and the emperor share the worries, since the martial arts work hard, then the heart of martial arts, more than ten days ago, the child also asked Li Taishi about this confusion, Demeng Li Taishi did not give up, for the child to deduce a little, said that if the child practiced martial arts, about the chance of thirty percent, the child thought that thirty percent of the opportunity is few, but after all, there is still a day to help the father and the mother, which is convenient for the house to practice swords, but unfortunately the unknown teacher pointed out, never get the essentials, the son is afraid. Seeing Wu Meiniang entangled in the practice of martial arts, Li Xian was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was panicked, and he babbled a lot, expressed his position, and reasoned, and at the end, he didn't forget to pull out Li Chunfeng's tiger skin and wave it.

Not to mention, Li Xian's words are quite touching, not only the faces of several prime ministers showed appreciation, but also Gaozong's eyes when he looked at Li Xian were a little more tender, but the big guys were hindered by Wu Meiniang's presence, so they didn't dare to speak for Li Xian.

"Father, mother, the child thinks that the seventh brother to Wu is not wrong, now I am restless around the Tang Dynasty, every more war, the heart of Xiang Wu is essential, and the prince's brother is good at literary affairs, the child can also understand a little, but only less conquest gas, now the seventh brother is willing to put pen to paper from Rong is really a good thing, when the seventh brother chooses a famous teacher to teach, he may be able to add a protector to my Tang Dynasty in the future." Others didn't dare to speak, but Li Xian was not afraid, not only because he promised Li Xian to help, but also because Zhang Dekai's death had deeply stimulated his heart.

"Xian'er has a point." Gaozong himself is actually very yearning for the career of Jin Ge Iron Horse, in the early years he wanted to conquer Goguryeo, but unfortunately his health has always been bad, the ministers resolutely oppose his royal conquest, and he can only give up in desperation, at this time he saw that the two sons were reasonable, and he couldn't help but say a sentence of affirmation, but when he saw Wu Meiniang's face was unhappy, Gaozong immediately closed his mouth and said: "It's just, ah, it's just ......."

Gaozong is not a very clever person, how can such a temporary change of words be done smoothly, "just" for a long time can not just come for a reason, the embarrassment on his face makes everyone want to laugh, but at this moment, who dares to laugh will come out, helpless, everyone and others can only hold back uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, it's not good for Xian'er to have a heart for martial arts, it's just that all the generals have their own business trips, how can they be distracted by such a trivial matter as teaching Xian'er, this matter should be postponed and discussed." Wu Meiniang looked at the topic and ran away, originally to reprimand Li Xian for being rude and ramming the master, but now it has evolved into a martial arts choice for Li Xian, and she is extremely annoyed in her heart, how could Li Xian succeed so easily, so she interrupted.

"Ah, that's right, this matter can be discussed later, and it is better to discuss it later." Gaozong has always been afraid of guilt, and when he heard that Wu Meiniang had spoken, he immediately opened the golden mouth according to Wu Meiniang's meaning.

Discuss again? Talk about it again! Father, father, can you be more cowardly! Seeing that Gaozong once again succumbed to the obscenity of Empress Wu, Li Xian was really completely disappointed in Gaozong, and despised his father viciously in his heart, but he didn't intend to end there.

"Father, the child thinks that the queen mother has taught him a lesson, all the generals have their own priorities, how can they be distracted by such a trivial matter as the child Xiangwu, if this is because of this mistake, the child will die a hundred times, however, the child has a plan, and I implore the father and the queen mother for permission." As soon as Gaozong's words fell, Li Xian immediately stepped forward and admonished in a loud voice.

"Oh? Xian'er has anything else to say, I just listen. Seeing that Li Xian refused to give up, Gaozong couldn't help frowning, and after muttering for a while, he still withstood the pressure from the Empress Wu, and did not directly reject Li Xian's request.

Since ancient times, most of the famous generals are not from famous families, but they are heroes in the recklessness, and the children dare not expect to be able to get the guidance of veteran generals such as Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, but it is enough to have a captain who has a military strategy." As soon as he saw Gaozong open his mouth, Li Xian immediately hit the snake with the stick and spoke impassionedly.

"Oh? In this way, I don't know who my son likes, and let's talk to me about it. As soon as Gaozong heard that Li Xian only planned to worship the school captain as a teacher, his curiosity immediately rose, and he asked with a smile.

"Back to his father's words, the child doesn't know who to worship as a teacher, Li Taishi only said that let the child go to Zuo Xiaowei and his party, he will be able to gain, and the child really doesn't dare to deceive his father." Seeing that the situation had been skillfully controlled by himself, the big stone in Li Xian's heart finally fell to the ground, but he still didn't plan to expose the target prematurely, but just carried out the banner of Li Chunfeng again and waved it.

"Well, I see." Gaozong has always been convinced of Li Chunfeng's ability, and when he heard Li Chunfeng's explanation, he didn't doubt it, but he didn't dare to accept it, but said noncommittally, and then set his eyes on Wu Meiniang, and said tentatively: "Meiniang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

As soon as Gaozong said this, all the people in the hall focused their eyes on Wu Meiniang, and they all wanted to hear what Wu Meiniang could say about this matter......
