Chapter 599: Head-to-Head (Medium)

If possible, Li Xian actually didn't want to meet the Empress Wu so soon, not because of timidity, but because of the limitations of the situation, because most of the strength Li Xian has now is in the locality, as for the court, with King Luo Bin and Lin Mingdu, the two last important ministers were sent to the place, Li Xian only had Xiao Qian and a few other shrimp soldiers and crab generals left, and the general trend held by the Empress Wu really can't be compared. This is undoubtedly a safe way, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of people, it should be so, but Li Xian is not an ordinary person, just because he knows too well what Empress Wu is like, if Li Xian really plays a safe way, it can only be a dead end!

Reason? It's very simple, Empress Wu has never been a soft-hearted person, no matter how Li Xian retreats, she can't let Li Xian go, didn't Li Xian back down in his previous life, what is the result, the princess was given death, his son was given death, his daughter was also given death, and even he himself was almost given death, Li Xian didn't want to retreat half a step in this life, besides, Empress Wu was a person who was good at taking advantage of the situation, once he grasped the initiative in the political struggle, the follow-up attack was one after another, and there was no time to stop, There will be no respite for the opponent at all, because of this, even if he knows that things are difficult, Li Xian has no intention of retreating, no matter how difficult it is, the posture of fighting in the ring with the Empress Wu must not fall, which involves a hidden secret, that is, the change of Gaozong's mind.

Gaozong is indeed weak and cowardly, and he has no great ability to govern the country, but after all, he is an emperor, whether it is when he is a prince, or after he ascends the throne, he has experienced all kinds of conspiracies, and he has a lot of knowledge, and his political skills are naturally some, although he is not too clever, but he is by no means a dull person. So that the crown prince actually fell to the point of taking risks, from this point of view, Gaozong has remorse in his heart, which is also where Gaozong's hidden intention to pardon Li Xian's capital crime lies, therefore, if Li Xian can show his determination to confront Empress Wu, Gaozong will inevitably give Li Xian the necessary support to achieve a new balance of the court, and this is what Li Xian needs most under the eye, and it is also where Li Xian's confidence to dare to stand up!

"Speak!"

Empress Wu doesn't really care about Li Xian's life and death, as far as she is concerned, a deposed prince is like a bird with its wings cut off, and there is no possibility of spreading its wings and flying high again, of course, it may be better to eliminate evil, if not, it is not a big deal, but once it involves authority, then everything will be different - although Gaozong has never said it explicitly, but Empress Wu can keenly perceive the secret in Gaozong's heart, she doesn't want to hand over the authority that has been in her hands again, therefore, She needs an opportunity to openly attack Li Xian, the most popular candidate in the East Palace, and Li Xian's rebellion case is undoubtedly such a good opportunity, Empress Wu refused to let it go easily, and made so many arrangements, in order to wait for Li Xian to jump into this big pit, and now, since Li Xian has come out, although Empress Wu is excited in her heart, she has put on a majestic appearance on her face, her brows furrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly with a thick look of displeasure.

"No, the father and the emperor, the queen mother, and the sons went to the edict yesterday, and they have already visited the sixth brother, and they have been entrusted by the sixth brother, and they have a copy here, and they will allow the children to be the father and the queen mother."

After experiencing the bloody tempering of the battlefield, Li Xian's city government had already cultivated to the point where Mount Tai collapsed and did not change color, how could he be intimidated by the power of the Empress Wu, unhurriedly took out the unclothed music from the wide sleeves, held his hands in front of his chest, and opened his mouth in a calm tone.

"That's right."

As soon as he heard Li Xian's play, Gaozong's eyes immediately flashed a trace of essence, and he didn't wait for Empress Wu to speak, and some of them couldn't wait to approve Li Xianzhi's request, obviously, in terms of how to deal with Li Xian's affairs, Gaozong and Empress Wu's opinions were not unanimous, and as soon as the word "quasi" came out, the contradictions between the two sides had a superficial tendency, and the courtiers with flexible eyes all turned to different ideas.

"Thank you for your grace." Li Xian had long expected that Gaozong would come forward to support, but his face still pretended to be extremely grateful, and he thanked him solemnly, and then spread out the notebook in his hand, and read it out with a solemn expression: "The father and the queen mother are above, and the sin child is worshipped, and the sin child has been loved by his father and mother since he was a child, and he has been reused repeatedly, and he has been the heir of the East Palace. But I want to be able to police the world with one body...... Sinners are to be heard! ”

"Idiot, idiot, alas......"

Listening to Li Xianzhi's confession relayed by Li Xian, Gaozong's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and sighed with tears in his eyes, but he did not make a statement about it, but looked at Li Xian with a pleading look, as if urging Li Xian to come up with a way to save Li Xian's life.

Oh, the old man is really, just point to us as wicked people, you are always a good person, it's really a good calculation! Li Xian is a shrewd individual, how could he not see the meaning in Gaozong's eyes, but he didn't plan to attack immediately, just because the heat was not mature at that time, and he had to jump out of the Empress Wu and his party to perform, so even if Gaozong's eyes were already resentful, Li Xian pretended not to see it, and after reading Li Xian's confession, he immediately bowed down and stood in the hall, with a look of resignation to Gaozong and Empress Wu.

As soon as Li Xian's well-behaved posture came out, the courtiers below were arguing indiscriminately, but Empress Wu frowned, and she really didn't know how to evaluate it for a while - no matter how much Empress Wu hated Li Xian, but the relationship between mother and son really existed, and Li Xian had already confessed her guilt, but she, the queen mother, insisted on killing regardless of it, at least on the bright side, as a mother, she categorically couldn't easily say the word "kill", otherwise, the saliva of the people in the world alone is enough to drown it, And if Li Xian secretly adds a little more to the trouble, the seemingly stable position of the Empress Wu at the moment may not be guaranteed, and at this delicate moment, the Empress Wu can only keep silent while casting a hint of attention on Wu Chenghe, the chief judge.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Weichen has something to say."

Strictly speaking, there is actually a grudge between Wu Chengsi and the Empress Wu to kill his father, but this guy is a master who has no discipline, and he thinks about being promoted and making a fortune, he only remembers one thing now, that is, he hugged the thigh of the Empress Wu tightly, and everything was done according to the will of the Empress Wu.

"Speak!"

In her opinion, having Wu Chengsi come forward to fight with Li Xian in the ring, one can resolve the embarrassing danger in front of him, and the other can also make Li Xian downgrade, of course, the most important thing is that she can mediate in the middle, and even piggyback on the majesty of killing Li Xian, which can be said to be more than one stone, and there is no reason to be allowed.

"Thank you, Queen Niang Longen." Wu Chengsi thanked him respectfully, took the opportunity to quickly sort out his thoughts, and then said with a sad look: "Your Majesty, Niang Niang Mingjian, Wei Chen thinks that the confession written by the abolished prince is indeed a profound analysis, although there is a suspicion of shirking, but it is generally true, as the so-called pitiful feelings, but its sin is unforgivable, as a son of man does not think about filial piety, as a prince, does not think about governance, but does extreme things, it is against human morality, and there is a great deal of kindness to His Majesty and Niangniang, however, he has a little remorse, and he has been a nobleman, and he should not be punished with punishment, It seems that the three treasures are still the case, giving the three treasures (the so-called three treasures refer to the white silk, the wine, and the dagger), both the whole body, and the whole law, and the way of the two realities, Weichen implores His Majesty and Niangniang to make a clear decision. ”

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Weichen thinks that Wu Shangshu is very true, the law of the country is moderate, although the prince violates the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the minister implores Your Majesty and Niangniang to judge!"

As soon as Wu Chenghe's words fell, Ming Chongyan flashed out from the side, and echoed a sentence in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Weichen thinks that giving the Three Treasures is a safe way, and it should be feasible, please Your Majesty and Niangniang's permission."

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Weichen seconded the proposal!"

"Wechen also seconded it!"

……

With Ming Chongyan taking the lead, a group of martial arts party members were not to be left behind, and they came out one after another to wave their flags and shout, and in just an instant, they seemed to have dissolved the silent killing machine created by Li Xian.

"What do you think about this?"

Seeing that the situation had been reversed, Empress Wu naturally refused to let go of such a great opportunity to hit Li Xian's prestige, and did not rush to make a conclusion, but pressed his hand and signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then glanced at Li Xian with great interest, and unceremoniously took Li Xian's army.

Sure enough, hey, just waiting for you to get old! Li Xian had long anticipated the current situation, and he had already had a countermeasure in his heart, the reason why he was not in a hurry to show his attitude was to wait for the words of the Empress Wu, and what he wanted was to kill the situation when he was trying to see the dagger, and he would not give the Empress Wu and his party the slightest turnaround.

"After seeing the fifth brother yesterday, I suddenly felt a poem in my heart, and I don't know whether it is good or bad, and I want to invite my father and mother to be the first and second axes."

Facing the general of Empress Wu, Li Xian did not have the slightest fear, but he was not in a hurry to discuss the matter, but replied with a sense of concern to him.

"Boom ......"

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, the courtiers below couldn't help but be in a commotion, not for anything else, just because Li Xian rarely had a literary name, if Li Xian was good at fighting, the ministers all bowed to him, in other words, Li Xian's good governance, the courtiers were also convinced, after all, the originally barren Hexi was already a well-known and wealthy place after Li Xian's efforts for several years, but when it came to poetry, the courtiers didn't believe it. The courtiers were a little puzzled by their thoughts......
