Chapter 14 Family Meetings

"The sons and the others have seen their fathers and emperors, and they have seen their mothers."

Although the three brothers have different thoughts, the shock in their hearts is the same, but as a child of the heavenly family, they are all good at covering up, and at such a sensitive time, no one will show their true feelings, let alone ask why Wu Meiniang appeared here, and even turn a blind eye to Wu Meiniang and Gaozong sitting on the dragon bed and other obvious violations of the system.

"Flat, flat."

Looking at the three sons who bowed down, Gaozong Li Zhi's face was embarrassed with a trace of redness, his eyes were extremely complicated, there was a bit of pain inside, a little embarrassment, and more guilt, and the voice of waving his hand couldn't help but have a slight tremble - since he learned about the edict case from the little eunuch Zhang Dekai, although Gaozong didn't know who was presiding over the whole thing, he had already decided to come forward to support it, not only to pity Shangguan Yi's unjust death, but also to give Empress Wu a warning, But he never expected that he had just arrived at the Taiji Palace, and before anyone had time to sit down, the Empress Wu had already arrived, and there was almost no dispute, and Gaozong had already been defeated, so he could only agree that the matter was decided by the Empress Wu, and the guilt in his heart was inevitably strong.

"Thank you, Father!"

Although the situation is not yet clear, but it is obviously not good, although the three princes have different scheming, but they all know that things are tricky, therefore, the voice of gratitude is loud, but that's all, as soon as the thanks are finished, all of them stand with their hands down, no one refuses to speak first, and the empty hall is strangely quiet, but the atmosphere is more and more depressed.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The prince was already weak, and then he was rushed by this oppressive atmosphere, and after standing for a while, he couldn't help coughing lightly, although the voice was not loud, but on such occasions, it was particularly harsh.

"I'm stunned to do anything, why don't you move Jindun quickly, what's the use of waiting, a bunch of waste without eyesight!" As soon as Li Hong's cough sounded, Gaozong suddenly had a seizure as if he had eaten gunpowder, and scolded the eunuchs waiting by the palace regardless of it, and the sound was so fierce that all the eunuchs panicked.

"Your Majesty also asked for the anger of the thunder, and the concubine forgot to mention it." When Gaozong had such an attack, not only the eunuchs panicked, but also the three Li Hong brothers were quite stunned, and when they didn't know how to deal with it, they saw Wu Meiniang, who was always sitting upright, suddenly smiled, and persuaded Gaozong softly.

"Hmm."

As the so-called brine points tofu, one thing drops one thing, Wu Meiniang only spoke, and the anger on Gaozong's face immediately stopped, and after he didn't know what to say, there was no other words, but the snort was a little heavier.

"Hmm." After the eunuchs brought a brocade pier, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, raised her hand, and waved away all the eunuchs in the hall, and then looked back and forth on the three Li Hong brothers, but they were not in a hurry to speak, and the three brothers couldn't help but mutter.

It's a big trouble, it seems that the worst situation is inevitable, and now the solution can only be to settle for the next best, but it's a pity, it's a pity! Although Li Xianren stood honestly, his brain was running rapidly, and after several calculations, he still regretted that things were beyond his control, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed - as early as when he decided to make a fuss about the case of Shangguanyi, Li Xian had already considered all kinds of possibilities, and the intervention from Empress Wu was of course expected by Li Xian, but Li Xian never expected Empress Wu to act so decisively, was able to personally come forward to get Gaozong before the ministers met him, and now, under the prestige of the Empress Wu and other coerced princes, it is impossible to realize the strategy of a comprehensive attack on the Hou Party that was predetermined earlier, and whether he can cut off one of his arms is still undecided, and what is more troublesome is that Li Xian himself does not want to come out so quickly, in case he becomes the key target of the Empress Wu, how to take advantage of the situation in the middle has become a worry that Li Xian has to think about repeatedly.

"Xian'er, come, tell my mother, what are you tossing outside in a hurry?" Just as Li Xian was thinking hard about countermeasures, Wu Meiniang's wandering gaze was fixed on him, her red lips opened lightly, and she asked lightly.

"Ah......h

As soon as Wu Meiniang's voice fell, Li Xian's small body couldn't help but tremble, opened his mouth, and exhaled, his expression was full of consternation, obviously frightened, at least on the surface.

"Don't panic, my mother just wants to know the reason for the matter, just say it." Wu Meiniang was obviously very satisfied with Li Xian's "performance", smiled and waved her hand, and explained warmly.

Panic, a little, but by no means as exaggerated as it appeared, in fact, Li Xian had already guessed that Wu Meiniang would use herself as a breakthrough, it was nothing more than a move to pinch soft persimmons, to put it bluntly, it was worthless, how to deal with Li Xianzi had already asserted, and it was quite like that to show the weak, but he acted sincerely, but Li Hong and Li Xian, the little brothers, were shocked into a cold sweat, and what he was afraid of was that Li Xian was talking about and shirking his responsibilities indiscriminately.

What is obscenity, this is it, hey, God is pitiful, the battle has not been fought, and the morale is all gone! While Li Xian was playing the weak, he didn't forget to pay attention to the looks of everyone in the hall, this saw not only Gaozong and Li Hong nervous, but even Li Xian, who has always been pretentious and arrogant, turned pale, how could it be that everyone didn't know that everyone actually didn't have much confidence to fight with Wu Meiniang head-on, and secretly sighed, and his heart was also a little cold.

"The queen mother, the son, the son, the son knows very little, the queen mother is a question, a son, a son, a son, a son, a son, ......" is to play the weak, Li Xianzi has completely acted enough, so he forced himself to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, took two steps forward, bowed and bowed, stammered and opened his mouth, and his eyes peeked at Wu Meiniang's face from time to time, which was completely timid and afraid.

As soon as Li Xian's small appearance came out, Gaozong's originally gloomy face immediately became darker, and Li Hong's originally white face became a little more dazed, as for Li Xian, on the contrary, his face turned red, and he was ready to refute Li Xian's nonsense at any time, and Wu Meiniang laughed, although it was just a smile, but the victory in the smile was undoubtedly obvious, but he did not urge Li Xian, but only encouraged him.

"Queen Mother, here's the thing." Li Xian pretended to swallow his saliva with difficulty, and said with a flickering eye: "The child originally asked the sixth brother to go to the suburbs to relax today, but unexpectedly heard that there was a change in the edict, and sent someone to investigate. Knowing that the evil slave Shangguan Fu who came out of the first Shangguan boss before was framing a good person with a clear conscience, the sons and daughters were angry, so they took down the evil slaves together, and after hearing the news, the prince's brother heard the news and felt that the case was important and should not be ignored, so he led his sons and other ministers and ministers to gather outside the palace, and wanted to ask his father and mother to investigate the case in detail, so as to return the innocence of the world. ”

Don't look at Li Xian's expression and cowering, but these words were unambiguous, avoiding fiction and truth, not talking about the cause, just biting the truth of the case in one bite, the coherence is clear, and the tone can be described as earnest.

"Father, mother, and the seventh brother said very much, thinking that I am a brilliant Tang Dynasty, Lang Lang Qiankun, there are treacherous villains like Cui Xuanzhe who dare to take the risk of killing Qiao Zhao, and even more evil slaves do not think about the master's kindness, and frame the master for unwarranted crimes, which is really the shame of my Tang Dynasty, and it must be investigated!" Li Xian was still worried that Li Xian would bite people indiscriminately under his timidity, but when he heard that Li Xian did not change his original intention, he was immediately encouraged, so he snatched it out and made a generous statement.

"Father, mother, this matter is strange and bizarre, the officials are surprised, if you don't investigate in detail, it is really difficult to convince the public." Seeing that the two younger brothers stood up bravely, Li Hong was obviously not far behind, but his scruples about Wu Meiniang were obviously far deeper than Li Xian's.

"Oh? That's the case, well, Xian'er and tell her mother in detail about the situation in the prison. Wu Meiniang originally thought that Li Xian, who had always been cowardly, would definitely beg for mercy under heavy pressure, once this was the case, she could take advantage of the situation to cover up this case vaguely, but she never expected Li Xian to be able to say such methodical words, let alone that the princes would dare to bounce back in front of her, for a while, her heart couldn't help but be a little confused, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she didn't pay attention to Li Hong's words, just stared at Li Xian for a while, and then asked in a flat tone.

Sharp, really spicy! As soon as Wu Meiniang's words came out, Li Xian had already guessed Wu Meiniang's next plan, but unfortunately he could guess it, but Li Xian was helpless at this time, even if he was reluctant, he could only bow down honestly and said: "Yes, the son obeyed the order, enlightened the father and the queen mother, and when the child and the sixth brother rushed to the edict, it was just the time to ask for the beheading......

Li Xian did not dare to lie about this matter, so he could only tell the story of the matter completely, but slightly concealed the interaction with Li Xian, and did not have any comments......
