Chapter 505: Xun'er (II)
"It's too late, it should be too late!"
After Li Xian stood silently by the windowsill for a long time, Mu Ne's face finally showed a trace of bitterness, shook his head slightly, and let out a very unwilling sigh, full of helplessness and melancholy!
"Your Highness!"
Zhang Cambodia is a wise man in the world, since he also saw the strange place behind this fraud case, and vaguely guessed that the sword dance of Wuhou Xiangzhuang was intended for Pei Gong's dark intentions, but he was not as thorough as Li Xian, when Li Xian was silent before, he also silently deduced the changes in the court situation in his heart, and came to the conclusion that the prince was afraid that he would suffer some losses, but he might not be defeated, but at this time, seeing that Li Xian's expression was obviously wrong, his heart couldn't help but sink slightly, and he called out with a little worry.
"It's okay to be alone, it's just a little uneasy."
Li Xian didn't say anything to explain, but let out a sigh of relief, and replied casually.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for saying bluntly, there is nothing wrong with sitting and watching this matter!"
In his opinion, it is a good thing for Li Xian that the prince has fallen into bad luck, so he has always wanted Li Xian to interfere in the court, and he has not changed his original intention at this time.
"Sitting and watching? Hey, if you are in the court, there is still something to be done, now, it's too late to intervene, if you are alone, I am afraid that the dust should have settled at this time! ”
Li Xian shook his head wistfully, and let out another sigh of extreme helplessness.
"If you don't give up, the crown prince is not incompetent, and the court has a lot of savings, so he may not be able to fight."
As soon as he heard Li Xian say this, Zhang Cambodia's brows immediately wrinkled, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and hesitantly put forward a different opinion.
"Mr. doesn't know, the lonely prince's brother is too strong, the battle is bound to fight, but it's a pity that it's in vain, the mother-in-law is daring to shoot, since there has been an ambush a long time ago, afraid that the prince does not fight, once the prince rises, he will definitely be hit by the head, the key is on the father, hey, the prince has been in charge of the country for two years, the authority is growing, and I don't know how to converge, although the father is cowardly, but not stupid, how can I be unsuspecting, I have already thought about giving the prince a lesson, plus the queen mother blows the wind, the prince is undefeated to see the hell, lonely in the court, Or can persuade the prince, but he is now out of reach of the whip, although Huaiying (Di Renjie's words) is capable, but unfortunately his prestige is not enough to lead the ministers, it is difficult to do much, and now the situation is bad, the difference is just how bad it is, maybe there will be news in the next two days, let's see and then make a decision. ”
Li Xian did not hide Zhang Cambodia's meaning at all, so he sighed and analyzed the thoughts in his heart, although his words were calm, but they were full of worry and worry.
"In that case, let's wait and see."
Zhang Cambodia doesn't care about whether the prince will be unlucky, all he cares about is whether Li Xian's interests will be affected, as long as Li Xian doesn't interfere in the court situation indiscriminately, for Zhang Cambodia, that's a good thing, as for the future, Zhang Cambodia is not so worried, so he replied indifferently.
"Well, that's all there is to it!"
At this point, Li Xian had no way to think about it except waiting, so he could only snort sullenly, turned his head to look out of the window again, and his eyes were full of unconcealed sorrow and worry......
In front of the Qianyuan Palace, the prince in a bright yellow dress was pacing back and forth under the steps anxiously, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and he didn't bother to wipe it, Yingting's face was full of shame that could not be concealed, and his eyes were full of resentment and anger when he glanced at the door of the hall from time to time.
It's been three days, and it's been three days since the start of the fraud case, but Li Xian hasn't found any news at all, not only that, but he can't even ask to see Gaozong, which makes Li Xiankong anxious, but he doesn't know how to deal with Fang Hao - Li Xian is not stupid, he knows that this so-called fraud case is a conspiracy nine times out of ten, and it is definitely aimed at him Li Xian, and he also knows that the Empress Wu must be manipulating behind this matter, otherwise he will not hand over this case to Wu Chenghe, who has no qualifications at all. It's just that he knows and knows, but Li Xian doesn't have too many ways to think about it, just because Wu Chenghe's side covered the case tightly, it was completely closed like a trial, and Li Xian tried in many ways, but he couldn't find out a little bit of news, in this situation of unclear circumstances, Li Xian really didn't know where to start, and he was helpless, in addition to ordering a group of subordinates to step up the investigation of the news, he also counted on Gaozong to be the master of it, and he asked to see him for several days in a row, but he didn't get Gaozong's permission, which made Li Xian inevitably annoyed.
"Your Majesty's dictation, Xuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"
Waiting and waiting, just when Li Xian was anxious, he saw the eunuch Cheng Denggao leading the two little eunuchs Shi Shiran out of the palace gate, standing on the steps, coughing twice, and procrastinating to announce Gaozong's oracle.
"Son's order is grateful!"
Li Xian was already disappointed when he arrived home, thinking that he would run in vain again today, this time he heard Cheng Denggao say this, his heart was relieved for no reason, but he didn't dare to delay a little, and hurriedly thanked him, and didn't pay attention to Cheng Denggao, who was smiling all over his face, and hurriedly walked up the steps and walked into the hall quickly.
"Sons, see father, emperor, and mother."
Li Xianfang just walked into the main hall, and saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the dragon bed, and there was a person standing beside him, who was actually Wu Chenghei, who was ordered to preside over the trial of the fraud case in the department, and his heart couldn't help but sink, but he didn't dare to look more, and quickly grabbed the front of the palace, and saluted and greeted him thoroughly.
"Well, let's get even."
Gaozong's face was very serious, with flat ears and a smile on his face, facing the prince's great gift, he did not sit as kindly as usual, but spoke without saltiness.
"Thank you, Emperor Longen."
Li Xian had a premonition that things might not be good, but when he saw Gaozong's expression like this, his already heavy heart sank a little more, but he didn't dare to be rude in the slightest, so he hurriedly thanked him and stood up straight.
"Xian'er came just in time, I ask you, what is the relationship between Lynch and Er, eh?"
Gaozong glanced at Li Xian indifferently, and there was no transitional greeting, and he ran straight to the topic.
"Ah......" Li Xian obviously didn't expect Gaozong to ask such a question, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then saw that Gaozong's face was wrong, and his heart immediately became empty, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and explained in a loud voice: "Father Emperor Mingjian, Lin Shangshu is a subordinate official in the child's mansion, quite talented, and diligent, so the child is ......"
"Diligence? What a diligent one, I'm afraid it's diligent to make money, Xian'er attaches so much importance to such a sneaky villain, it's really disappointing for my mother and your father! ”
Before Li Xian finished speaking, Wu Hou's complexion sank, and he waved his hand unceremoniously, interrupting Li Xian's words, and reprimanded him in a cold voice.
"The queen mother, the child, the child really doesn't know what the queen mother means by this?"
Li Xian is upright by nature, and his authority has grown in the past two years, and he has already developed a temperament that cannot be disobeyed, and he is not at fault at this time, how can he let Empress Wu scold him like this, this Jun Jun blushed, gritted his teeth, and asked in a loud voice.
"What's the explanation? You did a good thing by yourself, and asked your mother what to understand, when your wings are really hard, your mother said that you are terrible, huh? ”
Empress Wu sneered, glanced at Li Xian disdainfully, and scolded her head and face.
"The child didn't dare, the child just wanted to know what was wrong with the child, and it caused the queen mother to be so angry."
Li Xiannai is an arrogant person, and when he saw the martial arts, he couldn't help but slap his face, and the anger in his heart "poofed", and he didn't care about whether he was humble or not, and the tip of the needle was forced back against Mai Mangdi.
"Presumptuous! Do you talk to your mother like this? If you don't admit your mistakes, you still want to quibble, and you don't want to be humble? Don't you really think that you are the sky, don't forget that there is only one day in this Tang Dynasty, and that is your father! ”
Hearing Li Xian's confrontation like this, a faint hint of ecstasy flashed in the eyes of the Empress Wu, but there was no relaxation in her mouth, she raised the big brand of Gaozong, and gave Li Xian another wild training.
"The child doesn't dare, the child doesn't dare!"
knew that Empress Wu was there to play on the topic, but Li Xian couldn't help it, he couldn't really say that he was the sky, so he could only be so aggrieved that he didn't dare to say anything.
"Don't dare? Mother, do you dare to see you? Dabi is a ceremony for the court to select talents, no matter how cautious you are, but what about you, what good things have you done? Do you really think that social affairs can be child's play? Like you, how can my father and mother rest assured that this Tang Dynasty will be in your hands! ”
Empress Wu had long looked at Li Xian unpleasantly, even if she didn't have a handle, she could find some reasons, not to mention that she caught the problem of Li Xian's attitude at this time, and she would not give up because of Li Xian's bowing, and reluctantly reprimanded him again.
"The queen mother's lesson is that the child does not dare to be rude and illegal, I really don't know what the child did badly, which made the queen mother angry, and asked the queen mother to make it clear, and the child should change it."
People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, Rao is Li Xian has all kinds of unconvincing in his heart, but in front of Gaozong, there is no room for him to attack, so he can only reply in a reluctant voice.
"Don't dare to be rude and illegal? In this way, Xian'er is alluding to her mother wronging you? Well, that's good! ”
Empress Wu was obviously not satisfied with Li Xian's forbearance, her brows raised slightly, and she sneered at him gloomily.
"If the child is wrong, the queen mother can be punished according to the rules of the court, if there is no mistake, please forgive the child for not wanting to admit it!"
was reprimanded by the martial queen one after another, Li Xian's anger could no longer be suppressed, Huo Ran raised his head, and slammed back with great toughness, as soon as these words came out, the ** smell in the hall immediately became strong......
