Chapter 663: Rough Waves (Medium)

"Father-in-law Gao, our family came to pass the decree on the order of the queen of heaven, and we must not delay, and I also ask Father-in-law Gao to go and say goodbye again."

In front of the Chunhua Gate of the East Palace, Gao Miao led several little eunuchs to accompany Cheng Denggao to talk nonsense, at first Cheng Denggao was patient and echoed a few times, but after a long time, Cheng Denggao's patience was exhausted, and he put down the dust whisk in his hand very impatiently, and interrupted Gao Miao's idle talk with a gloomy face.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, a certain family will go on again, Cheng's father-in-law, please wait."

Gao Miao was ordered to delay time, he tried his best, and the nonsense was already a big basket, at this time he saw Cheng Denggao going crazy, but he didn't want to tear his face on the spot, so he responded with a smile, and ordered his eunuchs to wait carefully, and walked into the palace slowly. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go back to Daming Palace, he told Li Xian a trick, but after seeing a commotion in the palace, Li Xian had already been surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and guards.

"The old slave knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."

Cheng Denggao has suffered a lot from Li Xian, don't look at his previous hatred, but once he saw Li Xian's face, he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face, hurried to the front, and made a big gift very respectfully.

"Father-in-law Cheng is polite, excuse me."

For Cheng Denggao, the diehard loyalist of the martial queen, Li Xian was extremely disgusted, but he still wanted to be polite on a big face, so he smiled kindly, raised his hand in vain, and shouted.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang has a message, announcing that you will immediately enter the Daming Palace to meet you, Your Highness, please!"

Cheng Denggao came on the urgent order of the Empress Wu, but most of the hours had passed, and he couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment.

"Well, okay, then there will be Lao Cheng's father-in-law to guide the way, come here, set up the Daming Palace!"

The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, this catastrophe can't be avoided by hiding, Li Xian is too lazy to talk nonsense, and he gave an order straightforwardly, and a group of his eunuchs rushed to the golden chrome car, waiting for Li Xian to enter the carriage, and the group waited for the mighty out of the city, and went straight to the Daming Palace on the Longshou Plain......

"The sons knock to see the father and the queen mother!"

Li Xian and his entourage entered the Xuanzheng Palace, and saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the dragon bed, and there were Li Zhen, Pei Xingjian and other Zaifu standing below.

"Excuse me."

After Gaozong stared at Li Xian with a complicated expression for a long time, he called out in a flat voice, but he did not give a seat as usual, but let Li Xian stand in the hall, which was obviously not a very good sign.

"Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen."

Li Xian knew that this trip would not be easy before he came, and since he would not be embarrassed by the change in Gaozong's attitude, after respectfully thanking him, he calmly stood up straight, his eyes were clear and calm, and there was no trace of panic.

"Xian'er has been in the palace less recently, I think I'm very busy, aren't we all busy, and I can listen to my mother?"

After Li Xian's salute was finished, the martial queen had already opened his mouth, although his tone was flat, there was a faint sense of tranquility in it.

"After returning to my mother, at this time, when I was busy with spring ploughing and farming, my sons went to the next year at the behest of my father to promote overseas grain varieties.

Li Xianzi understood the intentions behind Empress Wu's question, but he was not frightened, and replied respectfully.

"Oh? In this way, Xian'er is really dedicated to the people? ”

Empress Wu didn't know that the impeachment of Zhuzhou was already known to Li Xian, and when he heard that Li Xian had fallen into the trap set by himself in his words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile, but it was very faint, so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

"The queen mother has an overreputation, and the sons are just doing their job, and they really don't deserve the queen mother's award."

Li Xian's ability to observe his face was very strong, although the smug smile of the martial queen was extremely faint, but Li Xian saw it at a glance, and the anger in his heart surged up instantly, fortunately, the city was deep, but it would not be brought to his face, but he just said quietly and humbly.

"Duty? Do you still know your duty? Hmph, come on, Xuan! ”

Empress Wu was obviously waiting for Li Xian's humble words, and before Gaozong could say anything, she had already changed color, snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, and shouted loudly.

"No!"

After the martial arts, Cheng Denggao, the eunuch who had been prepared, immediately led the famous little eunuch holding a stack of music books to flash out from the side, answered loudly, and then reached out to take the fold in the hand of the attendant eunuch, and procrastinated according to the book: "Minister, Luzhou Governor Han Wang Li Yuanjia, there is a book to play the heavens, and there is a spring ploughing envoy Wang Fangming in the name of promoting overseas grain varieties, to do things that disturb the people, and dozens of families in Chenjia Village, Shexian County, under the rule of the minister, were beaten and insulted because they refused to plant overseas grain seeds, and had a dispute with the envoy servant, several families because of the humiliation, sued to the county government, this is a matter of legal course, but unexpectedly by the special envoy from the public expulsion, so that several people desperately surrendered, grievances are difficult to describe, the matter involves the Qin, the minister does not dare to be arbitrary, but also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice! In addition, Liu Wu, the assassin of the same state, also has this chapter here, impeaching the spring ploughing envoy Lu Youning for being arrogant and ......"

"Is that all that Xian'er is busy with, huh?"

Cheng Denggao's voice was extremely sharp and ugly, but Empress Wu enjoyed it very much, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little thicker.

"The queen mother, the child did send a lot of spring ploughing envoys, in order to supervise the spring ploughing matters, all the itinerary has been recorded, I have never heard of things like the five states, the son thinks that there must be something strange inside, what is it, after all, it must be investigated clearly to distinguish right from wrong, the so-called partial hearing is dark, nothing more than the ear."

Before Li Xian came to Daming Palace, he had already planned a strategy to deal with it, and he would not be frightened by the sudden impeachment, and in the face of the martyrdom, Li Xian did not have the slightest excitement, but explained in a flat tone.

"If you listen to it, it's dark, according to Er's statement, the history of the five states is not in the mouth?"

The Empress Wu gathered all the Zaifu today, and dragged Gaozong out, the fundamental purpose was to take down Li Xian in one fell swoop, how could he let Li Xian mix up with a few words of explanation, his face sank, and his voice asked coldly.

"There is justice on the merits of the matter, the sons dare not say that the history of the five states is bullying the king, however, there must be a perverse place, and it must be thoroughly investigated to distinguish between right and wrong, the sons and daughters implore their father to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate this matter, if it is the responsibility of the sons, the sons dare not defend themselves, if there is no evidence, what should be the responsibility of the history of the five states, then according to the law!"

Although he has not yet received the official investigation results from the other end of the "Ming Di", Li Xian has enough confidence in the envoy sent out, in his opinion, whether it is Wang Fangming or Lu Youning, they are all cautious people, it may be difficult to act perfectly, but it is impossible to make such a big mistake, at this time, Li Xian refused to bow his head and admit his guilt, and no matter how cold the face of the Empress Wu was, his eyes were fixed on Gaozong, and he proudly asked for the order.

"This ......, well, I should look it up."

When Gaozong read the bullet chapter of the Wuzhou Assassination History before, his dissatisfaction with Li Xian was very strong, but when he heard Li Xian's words at this time, he couldn't help but have doubts, and after hesitating for a while, he still agreed to Li Xian's request for a thorough investigation.

"Your Majesty is sage, and the old minister also thinks that there is something strange in it, and I would like to ask for it, and I implore Your Majesty and Niangniang to judge it."

As soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Gao Zhizhou flashed out from the side and volunteered to investigate the case.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Gao Xiang has always been fair and honest, and it should be safe for him to come forward to take charge of the investigation of the case."

As soon as Gao Zhizhou came out like this, Jia Chaoyin immediately stood up and agreed, and the cooperation could be described as extremely tacit.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiangnian Gao Dezhao, known as a clear name, is in charge of a thorough investigation by him, and the old minister thinks it is very good."

As soon as Jia Chaoyin's voice fell, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, also flashed out from the side, and also agreed with him.

"Hmm......, what does Mei Niang think?"

Gaozong can ignore Gao Zhizhou's volunteering, or he can ignore Jia Chaoyin's echoing words, but for Li Zhen's brother's suggestion, he is not good and goes back directly, even if he faintly feels that this proposal is a little inappropriate in his heart, so he asked for the opinion of the Empress Wu.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang has been in the place for a long time, and he is familiar with government affairs, so he is the best candidate, and the concubine thinks there is nothing wrong."

Gaozong's original intention of asking the Empress Wu to raise objections was good, but unfortunately it was just a matter of asking Yu Blind, and Empress Wu had already colluded with the Yue Wang family, so how could he speak out against it at this time.

"Well, that's good, I'll see ......"

In his mind, Li Zhen's side is the best buffer to balance the dispute between Empress Wu and Li Xian, and he should have a neutral position.

"Father and emperor are slow, and the son thinks this matter is inappropriate!"

Li Xian had long known that this matter was a conspiracy concocted by the Yue Wang family and the Wuhou party, how could he let Gao Zhizhou, the backbone of the Yue Wang party, grasp the investigation power, this time Seeing that Gao Zong was going to make a decision, how could he dare to have the slightest negligence, so he interrupted regardless of his words.

Li Xian's interjection behavior is really against the way of the ministers, to put it seriously, that is the suspicion of bullying the king, as soon as the words came out, the eyes of the courtiers in the palace immediately swept towards Li Xian, the meaning is complex and difficult to understand, there are those who are shocked, there are those who are surprised, and there are those who gloat......
