Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Killing Opportunity of the Slight Revelation (I)
North Gate Bachelor, what a North Gate Bachelor! This bullshit thing is still coming out as scheduled, could it be that we are so busy that we are all busy in vain? Li Xian was casually talking and laughing with Li Xian, while constantly reflecting in his heart, quite unwilling and annoyed - with the memory of the third life, Li Xian knew the foundation of the North Gate Bachelor very well, in the previous life, the reason why such a freak institution as the North Gate Bachelor was established was all because the government and government at that time had basically fallen into the hands of the Empress Wu, but because he could not suppress the gang of tycoons in the court, the Empress Wu carefully planned such an institution, relying on the Son of Heaven to order the courtiers, But in this situation, the Empress Wu did not manage the government openly, although because of the victory in the matter of Feng Chan Taishan, it was a heavy blow to the crown prince Li Hong, but after all, this victory was not enough to support the Empress Wu to get out of such a freak as the North Gate Bachelor, obviously, there must be something strange in this, but Li Xian was a little at a loss where this strange thing was.
There is no doubt that this is a test for the Empress Wu - the purpose of deliberately replacing the Ministry of Rites is twofold, one is to try the reaction of Li Xian and the two brothers, and second, there is no shortage of this to send a message to the bigwigs in the DPRK and China - the North Gate Bachelor will be of great use in the future court, which can be regarded as a preventive injection for the courtiers in advance.
This is a cancerous tumor, and it must be eradicated, otherwise, I am afraid that the future situation will be corrupted to the point of no return! Li Xian made a conclusion in his heart about the North Gate Bachelor, determined to uproot such a tumor at all costs, of course, he also knew that this matter was difficult, his own strength alone was not enough to succeed, even if he added Li Xian's strength, he had to use the prince's hand, but even if it was the prince's family, he was not sure to do this, and it was Gaozong who could really play a decisive role, but how to use Gaozong made it difficult for Li Xian, and when he thought of Gaozong's cowardly nature that was eaten by the Empress Wu, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a big head for a while.
"Seventh brother, do you have a mind?" Although Li Xian's dual-purpose skills are good, Li Xian is not an ordinary person after all, although he is unconscious in a short period of time, but after a long time, he has seen some clues, and he can't help but stop the original topic, and ask with a slight frown.
"Hmm." Li Xian saw through his thoughts, Li Xian didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Sixth brother, the younger brother is wondering why the queen mother let those two fools come to greet you and my brother, I'm afraid it's not that simple here." ”
"Well, it's a little strange, what does the seventh brother think about this?" Li Xian was also suspicious of the appearance of Li and Yan, but after his previous complaint was interrupted by Li Xian, he put it to the back of his mind, and at this time he had already forgotten about it, but he was hooked by Li Xian, and then he saw that Li Xian seemed to have a fixed opinion, so he didn't bother to think about it, and asked very simply.
"It's hard to say, the little brother only has a vague idea, and he can't tell whether it's right or wrong." Li Xian had the intention of dealing with the Northern Gate Bachelor, and he wanted to try his best to win Li Xian's support, so he pretended to hesitate with a deep groan, but in fact, he was preparing a proper rhetoric with all his brain.
"It's okay, only you and my brother are here, and the seventh brother will say it bluntly if he thinks about it, what is right or wrong." Li Xian waved his hand impatiently and said as if he was a little displeased.
"Sixth brother has to teach him a lesson." Seeing the impatient look on Li Xian's face, Li Xian no longer pretended to hesitate, and after confessing the crime, he said with a solemn face: "The younger brother thinks that the queen mother is preparing for the administration of the dynasty, and maybe the North Gate Bachelor will be above the six departments, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Huh? How is this possible! As soon as Li Xian heard this, his eyes immediately widened, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he exhaled in disbelief.
How is that possible? Yes, it is indeed incredible, if it weren't for Li Xian's memory of the third generation, he couldn't believe that the ambition of a female streamer could be erected to that extent, in fact, when the martial arts first came to govern the court in the previous life, the courtiers couldn't believe that Gaozong could mess around like that, but this is the truth!
"Sixth brother, the younger brother is just a vague idea, it is really difficult to have any evidence, if the sixth brother does not believe it, the younger brother is helpless." Li Xian really couldn't tell the secret in his heart, so he could only spread his hands and make a helpless gesture.
"This, this ......" Although Li Xian has always admired Li Xian's resourcefulness, but after all, this inference is really too amazing, Li Xian will be really difficult to accept for a while, he stammered for a long time, and did not say why, after a long time, he glanced at Li Xian suspiciously and said: "If so, how should it be?" ”
"Little brother thinks ......" what to do In fact, Li Xian didn't completely think about it, the reason why the topic was picked out at this time was just to give Li Xian a preventive shot, and when Li Xian asked for a solution, Li Xian was really a little embarrassed, and he muttered for a long time, and then he reluctantly opened his mouth, and was about to make some of the methods that he had thought of clear, but he heard Zhang Che's voice from outside the carriage: "Your Royal Highness, the palace has arrived, please make it clear." ”
"Sixth brother, this matter is complicated, and it is difficult to explain it for a while, why not discuss it in the future?" Li Xian didn't want to tell the immature plan, but when he heard Zhang Che's report, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and suggested.
"It's okay, if you can't be in a hurry about this matter, let's do it first, and I'll see my father and queen mother in the palace." Li Xian still didn't believe Li Xian's judgment in his heart, and seeing that the conversation could not continue, he didn't care much, nodded, lifted the curtain of the car, and got out of the carriage.
"Your Majesty has an edict, Xuan, Li Xian, King of Lu, and Li Xianren, King of Zhou, will meet you in the Heart Palace!"
Soon after Li Xian and his brothers handed over the sign at the palace gate, Gao Hesheng, the eunuch of Sili, led two small eunuchs out of the palace in a hurry, and stood on their feet about four steps away from Li Xian's brothers, and procrastinated to announce Gaozong's edict.
"Sons and daughters thank their fathers for their holy grace." Although it is just an oracle, but the etiquette of receiving the order is the same, the little brothers thanked them according to the old practice, and then they got up, the difference is that after Li Xian stood up straight, he didn't pay attention to Gao Hesheng at all, raised his feet and walked towards the palace gate, and Li Xian came to Gao Hesheng's side with a smile, avoiding the eyes and ears of others, and with a flick of his fingers, a folded "Baiguan Flying Banknote" had fallen into Gao Hesheng's sleeve unconsciously, and then smiled and hugged his fist and said hello:" There is Lao Gao's father-in-law. ”
Li Xian's generosity is well-known in the palace, and the people who go to the king of Zhou to pass the decree can always return with a full load, so that the business envoys of the palace of the king of Zhou have become the eunuchs who are vying to do the beauty difference, although this Gao He Sheng has not experienced it personally, but in the past, it was not less heard, at this time, I saw Li Xian bounce into his sleeve The color of the stacked flying banknotes is obviously the color of "Baiguan", Rao is that he did not accept the filial piety of others, but he was still shaken hard, and the smile on his fat face immediately brightened a lot, hurriedly bowed his waist and replied politely: "Your Highness is polite, the old slave can't deserve it." ”
"Father-in-law Gao, the father and the queen mother have always been good, and the Taiping sister didn't make a fuss, right?" Li Xian had long known that Gao Hesheng was a close confidant of the Empress Wu and a key person in helping the Empress Wu master the intelligence system in the palace, so he naturally would not have the intention of encircling him, but he might as well be close to him, and he might as well use it when he could use it, so he greeted Gao Hesheng with a smile, and did not put on the prince's shelf at all.
"Okay, it's all good, the little princess can now walk a few steps, Your Highness ......" Although Gao Hesheng is high and powerful, in front of princes like Li Xian, he is just a minion, Li Xian asked, he naturally didn't dare not answer.
"Seventh brother, don't grind mushrooms, it's not good to keep my father waiting for a long time." Seeing that Li Xian was actually polite to a minion, Li Xianke became impatient, frowned and stopped at the palace gate, and said without looking back, interrupting Gao Hesheng's words very politely.
Hey, this guy still can't change the ** disease that looks down on others, just like that, it will inevitably offend people, no wonder even if he becomes the prince, he still can't sit firmly! Seeing that Li Xian was impatient, Li Xian was not good at talking to Gao Hesheng anymore, and buried Li Xian in his heart, but he still smiled extremely brightly on his face, nodded apologetically at Gao Hesheng, sped up his pace, half a step behind, followed Li Xian's side, and walked inward along the avenue in the palace speechlessly......
Luoyang Palace and Chang'an Taiji Palace belong to the old palace inherited from the Sui Dynasty, the difference is that Luoyang Palace was originally mostly destroyed in the war, the Luoyang Palace at this time was rebuilt on the original site, and the decoration is more prosperous Tang Dynasty scene, whether it is the main hall of the front palace - Vientiane Divine Palace, or the main palace of the inner ban - Qianyuan Palace are all rich and magnificent, gilded carved dragons everywhere, red walls and yellow tiles, cornices row corners, carved beams and painted buildings, through the flower lattice windows, it is really a miracle, bizarre, brilliant golden, majestic and magnificent, all in all, It is impossible to describe the beautiful scenery too much, but Li Xian has no intention of paying attention to these beautiful scenery in front of him, and there is only one question in his heart that hovers from time to time - why is this audience in the Hall of Benevolence?
As far as Li Xian knows, the Renxin Palace is just a not-so-conspicuous palace among the thirty-six halls of the internal ban, the location is in the northwest corner, a little secluded, whether it is far away from the main palace Qianyuan Palace or the Fengyi Hall where the queen lives, it is really not a good place to meet, it is reasonable, Gaozong and Empress Wu should not arrange the place to meet their sons from afar, unless there is a mystery inside, but why this mystery makes Li Xian think a little, but this question has not existed in Li Xian's heart for a long time- When Li Xian saw the situation in the palace for the first time, the mystery was revealed......
