Chapter 131: Brothers Together (Part II)

Li Xian walked unhurriedly, walking extremely steadily, and the expression on his face was also very calm, and he was confident, but in fact, he was not calm at all in his heart - that's right, this lawsuit in front of him can't be lost, once he loses, the prince will have no face at all, and he will no longer have the shame to stand on the court, even if the queen of martial arts is not in a hurry to poison him, the prince basically has no capital to toss, but even if he wins, what can he do? With the courage of Empress Wu to listen to the government, there are still things she dare not do, even if she can suppress it once, it will be difficult to stop her ambition to coerce the Son of Heaven to run rampant in the court, at most it can only play a delaying role, in other words, as soon as the Empress Wu's move to listen to the government comes out, the value of this court battle in front of her has been greatly reduced, but even so, Li Xian can't accept the result of failure, even if the gain is limited, it is better than losing all the games.

"Does Xian'er have something to play?"

Looking at Li Xian, who was slowly walking out of the queue, Gaozong felt a burst of panic and palpitations for no reason, and he didn't wait for Li Xian to open his mouth, so he asked first.

"Qi Yu father, mother, sons think that Xu Xiang is a veteran of the three dynasties, and it is impossible to take charge of the case of Dali Temple, however, this case involves too much, the case is complex and difficult to understand, and the cases involved are as many as thousands, regardless of the side, it is not easy to verify them one by one, and it is laborious and laborious, Xu Xiangnian Gao Dezhao, is the mainstay of the court, if this case is overworked, it is the loss of my dynasty is overwhelmed, and the sons and daughters think that this move may be inappropriate, and please ask the father to investigate." Seeing that Gaozong was flustered there, Li Xian's heart rolled through a burst of sadness, but he didn't bring it to his face, but just bowed respectfully and saluted, euphemistically expressing his opposition to Xu Jingzong's proposal to take charge of the case.

"Hmm, what Xian'er said is quite reasonable, Xu Xiang, you see ......"

Gaozong actually wanted to check what was going on in Dali Temple in his heart, but because of the face of the Empress Wu, he didn't dare to oppose it openly, and at this time, seeing that Li Xian gave a reasonable reason, he came to the spirit, so he looked at Xu Jingzong with a deep groan, and asked half of the words tentatively.

"Your Majesty, the old minister likes meat food, three meals a day, half a catty of meat per meal, three bowls of rice can still be eaten, deaf and not dizzy, Gu Zhilian is nothing more than that?" Xu Jingzong's old face was extremely wooden, he bowed to Gaozong calmly, and replied to the question, but the meaning was very clear, that is, he Xu Jingzong did not have any problems physically and mentally, and was enough to bear the heavy responsibility of adjudicating the case.

"Enlighten the father, Xu Xiang should be strong, the treasure of my dynasty is also, the so-called family has an old, if there is a treasure, the court can have Xu Xiang, it is the blessing of the community, it should be cherished and important, how can it be because of some trivial matters to work his heart, the son is not talented, I would like to ask for a thorough investigation of Dali Temple, return the clarity of my court, and ask my father for permission!" As soon as Xu Jingzong's words fell, Li Xian, the king of Lu, had already strode into the hall and asked for his life in a loud voice.

"Father, what the sixth brother said is very true, and now the war in the north is in full swing, the court and the military state have many important affairs, and it is urgent to need Xu Xiang to sit in charge to ensure that there is no danger, as for the investigation of the case, such as the cumbersome matters that only require patience, it is really not suitable to work Xu Xiangda, the sixth brother has always been meticulous, and he is the best candidate for the investigation of the case, and the son of the minister implores his father for permission." Li Xian originally intended to let Li Xian use this matter to strengthen his strength, so naturally he would not oppose Li Xian's request, and without waiting for Gaozong to say something, he immediately followed up and echoed.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what His Royal Highness King Lu said is very true, and I implore Your Majesty to make a clear decision!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Lu is wise and wise, and he is the best candidate to investigate the case."

"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded it!"

……

As soon as the Li Xian brothers said this, the courtiers who were attached to the two kings did not dare to slack off, and a large number of officials such as Yangwu, Lynch, and He Long immediately stood up and waved their flags and shouted one after another.

"Qi Qi father, the son thinks that the sixth brother is talented, and it is indeed a good choice to thoroughly investigate the Dali Temple, and the son implores his father to make a clear decision."

Seeing that Li Xian's brothers actually took advantage of the fire to rob at this time, Li Hong's face couldn't help but be a little unpleasant, but the problem was that Li Hong couldn't defeat this time, no matter what, he couldn't sit back and watch the right to try the case fall into the hands of the Wuhou party, and the two evils could only be the lesser of them.

"I beg Your Majesty to judge!"

Since Li Xian had spoken, Yan Liben and other officials of the prince's family understood it, and they came out again one after another, echoing it in unison, and under the overwhelming number of people, the momentum was huge, and for a while, the situation that was originally manipulated by the Empress Wu was reversed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, I, I also think that Xian'er is indeed a good choice for a thorough investigation, don't ......" Seeing that the three sons were united, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military groups echoed, Gaozong couldn't help but be moved, and also had the intention of cultivating Li Xian, after all, this was Gaozong's intention to drag Li Xian's brothers into the court, but he was worried about the martial arts, and Gaozong didn't dare to make a decision on this, after a hesitant voice, he turned his head to look at the bead curtain, and said hesitantly: "Queen, Xian'er is loyal and commendable, I think it may be possible, What does the Queen think about this? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, the concubine thinks that Xian'er is shrewd and capable, and will live up to His Majesty's love, the concubine has no objection, but Xian'er is young after all, and this matter still needs the assistance of the old and serious ministers to ensure that it is not in vain. Empress Wu behind the bead curtain did not hesitate at all, and as soon as Gaozong's voice fell, Empress Wu had already replied with all his words, surprisingly did not object to Li Xian's responsibility for investigating the case, but only added Liu Yizhi, a hardcore rear party.

"So very good, I have made up my mind, by Luwang Li Xian as the main body, supplemented by Liu Yizhi in the matter, each has its own division to cooperate, be sure to find out whether the shortcomings of the Dali Temple backlog are true, do you have any objections to this?" After hearing Wu's objection, Gaozong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and almost couldn't wait to issue a holy message.

"The father is wise, however, the son of the minister secretly thinks that the investigation of the case is extraordinary, and it must be assisted by a minister who understands the name of the crime, and the son of the minister proposes that Liu Boying, the servant of the criminal department, be the assistant of the sixth brother."

The three brothers are the same in dealing with the martial arts, but they are not monolithic, and they can even be said to be competing with each other.

"Well, Hong'er's words are reasonable, I'm right!"

Although Gaozong is cowardly, he is not stupid, and he can understand Li Hong's intentions in making this statement, but this is also something that Gaozong is happy to see, and he will not object, so he accepted it with a full mouth, and then, without waiting for the courtiers to say anything, he got up and went to the apse.

"Retreat!"

Gao Hesheng, who was waiting on the side, saw that Gaozong had left, and he didn't dare to slack off, he shouted at the top of his throat, and hurriedly led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to follow behind Gaozong, as for the martial queen behind the bead curtain, he had quietly left the hall before Gaozong got up, and a court discussion that might have been a desperate fight ended in such a bland way.

"Sixth brother, congratulations."

Gaozong and Empress Wu had left, but the prince did not follow as usual, but stood up from his seat, slowly walked to the Li Xian brothers who were surrounded by a group of henchmen, arched his hand with a smile, and said congratulations sincerely, but there was a deep meaning in the eyes that swept towards Li Xian.

"Don't dare, my brother should do his best to thoroughly investigate this case and live up to his father's kindness."

Li Xian has always been not very opposed to the prince, even if he joined forces several times to block the martial queen, but there is still no friendship between them.

"Well, if this can be the case, it will be a great fortune for the court, and Lone will wait for the good news of the sixth brother." Li Hong was not moved by Li Xian's coldness, he took the prince's posture, smiled and encouraged, and then, regardless of Li Xian's expression, looked at the silent Li Xian with a side face and said: "Seventh brother, there is still a lot of wine in the lonely palace, when you have free time, even if you come to look for the lonely, the wine is enough." ”

I'm going to it, this guy actually unabashedly used a divisive plan, isn't he too tired? Li Xian is a shrewd individual, how could he not see through such a little trick played by Li Hong, but he didn't bother to say it, he just laughed and said: "Thank you Brother Prince, the little brother will definitely nag." ”

"Well, Lone is welcome."

Li Hong smiled, glanced at Li Xian, who was pale, with deep meaning, and then flicked his big sleeves and led a group of small eunuchs to go away.

"Humph!"

Li Xian was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Hong's attitude, although it was not good to scold his mother on such occasions, he still couldn't help but snort angrily.

"Sixth brother, let's go, the case of Dali Temple is not easy to try, and you have to think about it in the long run."

Seeing that Li Xian's complexion was wrong, Li Xiansheng was afraid that he couldn't help it for a while, so he said something that shouldn't be said, and hurriedly interrupted from the side.

"Well, let's go!"

Although Li Xian's personality is upright, he is not a person who does not know what to do, and he also knows that on such occasions, it is really not appropriate to have any Meng Lang's actions, so he stomped his feet hatefully, and ignored the henchmen beside him, and strode towards the outside of the hall, Li Xian saw this, shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and did not talk nonsense, strode up, half a body behind Li Xian, and walked towards the palace gate side by side, just out of Chengtianmen, I saw Zhang Che and Gao Miao, the two little eunuchs, were extremely anxious not far away, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but "chuckle", and a strong sense of foreboding came to his heart......
