"The sons and daughters knock to see the father and the queen mother."

Turning the screen in front of the door of the dormitory, I saw that Empress Wu was sitting on the couch, crying silently, while Gaozong was like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around on the side, obviously dizzy by Empress Wu's crying, seeing that the situation was almost the same as he had pre-envisioned, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to be rude, walked to the front of the couch, and greeted him very respectfully.

"Ah, Xian'er is here, excused, excused."

As soon as he saw that Li Xian had arrived, Gaozong was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief - although Gaozong had not been ill in the past few days, his body was relatively weak, and he was very tired, too lazy to move, not to mention the administration of the court, that is, he had not even taken a step towards the door of the dormitory, in addition to eating every day, most of the time he was curled up on the couch to read idle books to pass the time. Since I can't help but wonder about the end of the morning today, I asked in passing, but I didn't expect to ask it, under this question, the Empress Wu began to cry, no matter how Gaozong asked, how to persuade, how to coax, the Empress Wu did not speak, just sat there and wept, until Gaozong was flustered, fortunately, the arrival of Li Xian finally gave Gaozong a chance to take a breath, of course, by his own son to see his own embarrassment, Gaozong's embarrassment in his heart is inevitable.

"Son, thank you, Emperor Longen!"

Li Xian thanked him calmly, stood with his eyes down, and did not raise his eyes to look at Gaozong's embarrassed expression.

"Hmm, Xian'er, is it going well this morning?"

Noticing that Li Xian's gaze did not fall on his body, the embarrassment on Gaozong's face not only did not subside, but became a little stronger, and after muttering for a while, he barely suppressed the strong discomfort in his heart, and after a slight hesitation, Gaozong still asked hesitantly.

Well? Why does the old man ask this, hasn't the old thief sued the black woman yet? No, this old thief had already expected us to come, heh, this is a trap waiting for us to jump!

As soon as he heard Gaozong's words and asked a strange question, Li Xian was only slightly stunned, and he already understood, there was nothing else, it was just a small trick played by the Empress Wu, just because the matter of the early dynasty was so noisy, even if she hid it, she could not guarantee that the story would not reach Gaozong's ears, since it was no longer possible to use the results of the court discussion to pressure Gaozong to agree to send troops, then the Empress Wu only had to play the role of the wronged mother, in order to coerce Gaozong to agree to his unreasonable demands, the reason why she didn't play the trick of suing the wicked first, In order to play the aggrieved role more seriously, the reason is very simple, the first to explain will be in a state of attack, in this situation, whoever opens his mouth to explain first will be left behind.

"Back to my father's words, the court discussion did not go well, and there was indeed some accident."

Knowing that he had fallen into a small ambush after the martial arts, but Gaozong had a question, Li Xian couldn't help but answer, and he could only explain with a wry smile.

"Oh? What happened and why did your queen mother ......"

Gaozong is not a foolish person, he had already suspected that something had gone wrong in the early dynasty, and when he saw Li Xian's face was slightly bitter at this time, how could he not guess that the mother and son must have made a fuss in the early dynasty, and in addition to a headache, he couldn't help but be a little happy, just because this is the situation that Gaozong wants to see, not for anything else, just because only the balance of the court can his throne be safe, whether it is the martial queen or Li Xian's strength, for Gaozong, it is an extremely dangerous thing, of course, whether it is a headache or a joy, it should be asked, Gaozong still has to ask after all.

"So that the father and the emperor know that this is the case, at the beginning of the early dynasty, the Honglu Temple Qing Yuan Wanqing has taken the lead in this chapter, for the Persian prince Ni Ni Shi on behalf of the transfer of the chapter for help, for the war or not, the ministers and workers have their own opinions, can not hold each other, the queen of Wu then asked the child, the son of the minister said: The father has already made a decision on this, the son does not dare to disobey also, the mother is Jia Chaoyin and others Gu, insisted on the son of the army to go out, the child is frightened, dare not respond to the order, only said that if this matter is the father's edict, the child should plan for it, the mother complains that the child does not listen to the call, Then he was angry and quit the dynasty, all kinds of things are the fault of the child, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety, so as to make the mother sad, it really shouldn't be, but it is a major military matter, and the son does not dare to take it lightly, and he must be determined by his father. ”

Knowing that Empress Wu was pricking up his ears and preparing to pick on his own language disease, but in the face of Gaozong's question, Li Xian couldn't help but answer, and in desperation, he could only briefly state what happened in the court.

"Ridiculous! I have long said that Persia is left to its own devices, and Yuan Wanqing dares to deceive me, which is really hateful, and I can't spare it! ”

Gaozong is not stupid, this time he saw that the martial arts queen and Li Xian were fighting too hard this time, and he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive in his heart, just because he wanted the balance of the court situation, not the mother and son fighting again and again, and now that he was so laughed at by the courtiers, Gaozong's face was lost, but he was a beloved son and a wife, and Gaozong scolded no one, so he could only arrest Yuan Wanqing, the initiator, and scold him, and it was clear that he wanted to vaguely expose the matter.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Although Gaozong's mind was good, it was a pity that Empress Wu did not intend to appreciate it, and as soon as Gaozong's words fell, Empress Wu's cry was already ringing.

"Mei Niang, I, I, I ......"

As soon as Empress Wu cried like this, Gaozong's true nature of fear was immediately exposed, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what he was talking about, and as for the previous anger, he had already disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are incompetent, you can't share your worries for Your Majesty, concubines, woo woo......"

Gaozong was in such a mess, and the cry of the Empress Wu immediately became a little louder, and under the tears, it was really as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Mei Niang, what are you talking about, how can I blame you, alas, don't cry, don't cry, isn't it just the restoration of Persia, it's just a little bit of a trivial matter, why bother."

Gaozong himself has an addiction to foreign soldiers, since his ascension, there has been no less foreign war, the reason for rejecting the request of the Persian king and his son, is not that he does not want to fight, but considering the long distance, even if the war is won, in the Tang Dynasty itself, there is not much interest at all, this will refuse to send troops, at this time by the military queen so noisy, the heart is already in chaos, in order to stabilize the military queen, it is a little relieved.

"Father Emperor Shengming, the child also thinks that the matter of the restoration of Persia should be discussed again."

Gaozong's heart has not changed, and the reason why he relaxed a little was just to interrupt the commotion of coaxing Empress Wu first, but it was just an expedient measure, but for Li Xian, it was a good opportunity to push the boat along the river, so he refused to let it go, and hurriedly praised him.

was interrupted by Li Xian's sudden interruption, not only Gaozong was stunned, but the Empress Wu, who was crying, was also suffocated, and the gradual crying suddenly weakened because of it.

"Xian'er, what do you mean by that?"

Gaozong originally thought that Li Xian had an anti-war attitude, but when he heard Li Xian's words, it didn't seem to be like this, and he couldn't help but be a little confused, and he couldn't care about appeasing Empress Wu anymore, so he glanced at Li Xian suspiciously, and asked hesitantly.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, the queen mother wants to help Persia restore the country, it is out of the consideration of promoting the prestige of my Tang Dynasty, the starting point is good, and the sons and daughters also think that it should be so, the former Han Dynasty is not as strong as my Tang Dynasty, especially dare to exhale: Those who commit my strong Han will be punished even if they are far away! And now my Tang Dynasty is far above the previous dynasties, the front of the soldiers, all invincible, just a big ear, really nothing to worry about, the worry, but the road is far away, the rapid war is not conducive to stalemate, if you really want to fight, then the child has a candidate, will be competent for the responsibility of the army! ”

Originally, according to Li Xian's plan, it should be to overthrow Empress Wu first, stabilize the domestic situation, and then start to do this, but since Empress Wu intends to make a fuss about this matter, Li Xian is not opposed to starting to do it in advance, and there is only one thing that he does not want, that is, Li Xian will never leave the court at such a critical moment, and in addition, everything is easy to say.

"Hmm, Xian'er's words are reasonable, but the soldiers will come out? Where does the grain come from? ”

If he can really win a big battle in a hurry, Gao Zongzi will not have any objections, but he does not support it in his heart, so he did not ask Li Xian about the leader candidate, but asked the most critical issue of military resources and grain, after all, the disaster situation in Henan and Hebei has only been dealt with in the past, and the court really has not much surplus food to call.

"Father, the soldier saint has clouds: the soldiers are not many but fine, like this expedition to the extreme west, more soldiers but to make mistakes, according to the child's opinion, if the deputy governor of Hexi Lin Chengbin led 20,000 people to go on the expedition, it will be enough to level the country of Persia, as for the weight of the grain, it is not necessary to bear it alone in Hexi."

Li Xian had already planned the expedition, and he knew it in his heart, and when he heard Gaozong ask, he answered quickly.

"Well, ......"

Gaozong had a lot of scruples about Li Xian's grasp of the affairs of Hexi, and he had long had the intention of slowly adjusting the civil and military officials in Hexi......
