Chapter 3: The Two Heavens of Life and Death (Part II)

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi had a romantic life, and he asked for a lot of women, but there were not too many children, and there were only eight sons and four daughters who were born in the world, among which the fate of Princess Anding was the most tragic, she was born for a month, and she was strangled to death by Empress Wu, so as to frame Queen Wang, and the eldest son Li Zhong was deposed as the crown prince in the sixth year of Yonghui, and was just given to die a few months ago, not counting the Taiping princess who has not yet been born, there are only seven sons and two daughters at present, and half of Thailand are born by Empress Wu - fourteen-year-old fifth son Li Hong, twelve-year-old sixth son Li Xian, The ten-year-old seventh son Li Xian and the three-year-old eighth son Li Xulun, the smartest of the sons is Li Xian - Li Xian, the word Mingyun, the sixth son of Gaozong, less intelligent, five-year-old can write, seven-year-old can poetry, has the ability to never forget, known as the ministers, the talent can be described as outstanding, but the character is too rigid, the amount is slightly small, every time there is injustice, it will be resounding.

Although Li Xian is a young talent, but Li Xian has never liked Li Xian's brother, whether it is in the past life or in this life, every time the brothers meet, they always have to make some unpleasantness, generally speaking, it is the domineering Li Xian who provokes the conflict, but in the end, it is often the weak Li Xian who suffers, if it is in the past, Li Xian is so reprimanded, Li Xian must not be outdone, he has to say something back, and he quarrels all over the time, and most of the Li Xian who is not as good as the argument ends up crying, but today Li Xian's heart is chaotic, I really didn't want to quarrel with Li Xian, and I didn't want to provoke any trouble at this time, so I nodded lightly, and without saying a word, I walked to Li Hong's soft couch, and stood with my hands down, as if I had never heard Li Xian's accusation.

"Hmph, even if you suffer from the cold, this is lazy, you know that your body is weak, why don't you practice, mediocrity!"

Seeing that Li Xian was silent, Li Xian suddenly felt a sense of loss when he punched into the empty place, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy, glared at Li Xian, and reprimanded him unrelentingly.

Bored! Today's Li Xian is no longer the original Li Xian, with the memory of the third life, how can he be angered by the tricks of children like Li Xian, and he didn't even bother to look at Li Xian, and stood in place quietly.

"Sixth brother, how can you say this, the seventh brother is sick, I should be more considerate as brothers."

Li Xian didn't speak, but Li Hong, who was leaning on the soft couch, couldn't stand it - Li Hong has always been weak and often sick in bed, and the most unheard thing is the word "frail".

"Brother Prince's words are right, it's just that the seventh brother has always been lazy, and I, as an elder brother, should also mention one or two, otherwise, it will be inappropriate for my heavenly family to be decent." As soon as Li Hong opened his mouth, Li Xian realized that his previous words were quite inappropriate, but Li Xian was strong by nature and did not intend to apologize for it.

"Cough, cough, cough......"

Li Hong is not good at arguing with others, the more he listens to Li Xian's words, the more muddy he becomes, his heart is even more unhappy, his anger is surging, his face is red, and he coughs and wheezes involuntarily.

Fight, fight, fight! What is there to fight, alas, what can the two of you fight for, fight back and forth, not all of them were killed by the queen mother with a glass of poisoned wine, and at the end of the day, it was cheaper for Li Dan's kid! Li Xian was reluctant to participate in the dispute between the two elder brothers, besides, up to now, he had not yet figured out how to go next, how could he have the heart to pay attention to such quarrels, but when he remembered that the tragic deaths of his two elder brothers in the future were almost the same, his heart suddenly became unbearable, so he shook his head with a wry smile, stood up and said: "Brother Prince, the sixth brother is also for the good of the younger brother, the younger brother should change it, and if he doesn't, he will be encouraged." ”

"If there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged? Okay, well said, Zeng Ziyun: I have three times a day to save my body, it is precisely this meaning, the seventh brother has made progress in his homework recently, good, very good. Li Hong has always been studious, this hearing Li Xian's extraordinary mouth, he was stunned at first, and then stroked his palms and shouted, completely forgetting the previous dispute with Li Xian - "If there is it, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged" is from Zhu Xi's "Collection of Notes" in the Song Dynasty, not to mention Zhu Xi at this time, that is, Zhu Xi's grandfather's grandfather has not yet been born.

Damn, that's a leak! Hearing Li Hong's praise for this, Li Xian was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that he had plagiarized the future generations, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly thanked him: "The prince's brother is too famous, and the courtier's brother is ashamed, ashamed." ”

Li Xian obviously didn't expect that his younger brother, who had always been mediocre, could say such philosophical words, raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something sarcastic, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he couldn't refute it, so he had to stop, shook his big sleeves, kept his face calm, and no longer paid attention to Li Hong's chat.

"Change, change, encouragement, encouragement......" Li Xian quieted down, but Li Xulun, who was held in the arms of the nursing mother, became excited, waving his hands and feet wildly and shouting, and that proud little appearance made all the brothers laugh, and the dull atmosphere in the hall that was originally tense and tense also dissipated.

"Wait for ......" The princes laughed really louder, and Li Zhi, who was circling around in the back hall, was immediately alarmed, and when he looked back, he saw that the princes were smiling happily, and his heart was full of suspicion, and he opened his mouth to ask what was going on, but before he finished speaking, he saw a palace maid rushing out of the apse, and shouted loudly: "Born, born, congratulations to Your Majesty on getting a princess, mother and daughter are safe." ”

"Ah......" Li Zhi turned around suddenly, looked at the panting little palace maid in surprise and joy, opened her mouth widely, and after being stunned for a long time, she suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, peace, good peace, since the mother and daughter are safe, I will make the little princess Princess Taiping, I want to amnesty the world, come, draft, quickly, draft!" ”

"Congratulations to my father."

"Congratulations to the Emperor."

……

As soon as the three princes heard that they had an extra sister, they all came to their senses, and when they saw that their father was so happy, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all stepped forward and congratulated in unison.

Purpose? Why is there such a hurry to grant amnesty to the world? Oh yes, I see! Although Li Xian also followed several elder brothers to congratulate him, he turned a corner more than the two elder brothers in his heart, and after a little thought, he had guessed what his father's intentions were in this move - all this is for one person, and this person is the Zhongshu Shilang Shangguanyi.

Shangguan Yi, a native of Shaanxi County, was born in Jiangdu, his father Shangguan Hong was the deputy supervisor of Jiangdu Palace, and later died in the Yu Culture and Rebellion. In the first year of Zhenguan of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (627 AD), Shangguanyi was valued by Yang Rengong, who was then the governor of Yangzhou, and recommended him to go to Beijing to participate in the scientific expedition. Shangguan Yi was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hongwenguan with the two strategies of "seeking merit and strategy" and "leniency and fierce policy for punishment", and he was relocated to the secretary; After Gaozong ascended the throne, he was appointed as the crown prince in the first year of Xianqing (656 AD), the fourth year of Xianqing (660 AD) was appointed as the commander of the capital, the first year of Longshuo (661 AD) was appointed as the Zhongshu Shilang, and in the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), he was appointed as the Huangmen Shilang and the three products (prime minister) of the Tongzhongshu Men.

Shangguan Yi is talented, personality is upright and dares to admonish, in August of the first year of Lin De, taking advantage of the fact that the Empress Wu is pregnant, on the occasion of recuperation in the palace, Shangguan Yi secretly wrote to Gaozong Li Zhi, saying that the autocracy of the Empress Wu, which is not conducive to the country, should be abolished, Gaozong thought so, secretly ordered Shangguan Yi to make a move, ready to abolish the queen, how could it not be secret, for the eunuch in the palace to report, the Empress Wu learned of this, furious, bypassing Gaozong, and skillfully used the name to capture Shangguan Yi's whole family, the third trial has passed, just after the beginning of spring, the whole family will be beheaded.

Although Gaozong Li Zhi is cowardly by nature, he is not an unreasonable person, Li Zhi does not agree with the matter of copying and beheading Shangguanyi, but he is afraid of the inside, and does not dare to openly exonerate Shangguanyi, the reason why he is in a hurry to take advantage of the birth of a daughter after the martial artist to issue an edict to amnesty the world is to take this opportunity to seek a way out for Shangguanyi's family.

Because of the age, there is not much intersection between Li Xian and Shangguanyi at this time, but at the end of each year, Gaozong has seen a few times when he feasts on the ministers, but he has not read much of Shangguanyi's poems, and he is also quite appreciative of his demeanor, and he has a lot of pity for his unjust death. Li Xianzi didn't want to miss it.

What to do, to do or not to do? Li Xian really wanted to save Shangguan Yi's life in his heart, but he was worried that this move would arouse the infinite anger of the martial queen, in case the person was not saved, but he lost his own life, it would not be worth it, after all, the martial queen was powerful in his previous life, Li Xian had not been less taught, even if he had a career of fighting waves in the sea for Li Sheng in the later generations, Li Xian did not have the slightest confidence that he could wrestle with the ruthless martial queen, at least in the current situation, Li Xian really did not have such ability.

The eldest husband should do something and not do something, since God has given him a chance to start over, if he doesn't try again, wouldn't he be disappointed by this rebirth! At the moment when the inner chamberlain was about to recruit, Li Xian's heart was fiercely fighting, and at the end, Li Sheng's way of thinking in the future took over, Li Xian planned to gamble once, try to see if he could change his extremely miserable fate in the future!

"Enlighten the father, the son thinks that the amnesty of the world is the father's compassion for the subjects, the father is merciful, the son does not dare to lag behind, now there are many prisoners in the edict, the son is willing to ask for the order to carry forward the benevolence of the father, and ask the father for permission." Seeing that the inner eunuch had prepared the edict and used the jade seal, Li Xian could no longer be silent, and flashed out from the side, asking for his life in a loud voice.

"This ......"

Gaozong Li Zhi originally had the intention of taking the opportunity to release Shangguanyi, otherwise, he would not have ordered the draft in such a hurry, but after the edict was prepared, Li Zhi had some gains and losses, and hesitated to decide whether to promulgate this edict immediately, besides, according to the Tang system, if the edict is not signed by the province, it does not have legal effect. When Leng Buding saw Li Xian come out to admonish, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Seventh brother Hugh is messing around!"

Li Zhi was silent, but Li Xian stood up from the side, pointed at Li Xian unceremoniously, and reprimanded him with a face.

"Seventh brother, my father has his own opinions, and you can't talk nonsense about major affairs in the court."

Li Hong obviously did not approve of Li Xian's proposal either, and it was rare to hold the same position as Li Xian, but there was a little leeway for Li Xian between his words.

"Father, my son is willing to go, please ask my father for permission."

No matter what the two brothers said, Li Xian was unmoved, and said further with his neck stalked.

"Hmm......"

Li Zhi has never been an assertive person, this time seeing that the three sons did not agree with each other, he couldn't help but lose his opinion, look at this, look at that, his mouth is not small, but he hasn't said a word for a long time......
