The first year of Yifeng was destined to be an eventful autumn, the war in the west had just stopped, but there was a stir in the eastern capital, and this trouble was really not trivial - the prince was reversed! Gaozong was furious, issued an edict to depose the position of Prince Li Xian, and tried the three divisions to convict him, and urgently summoned the British King Li Xian, and Li Xulun, who had just been renamed the Wing King, returned to Beijing with two sons-in-law, Li Xian has already begun to deal with the aftermath.

On the seventh day of November in the first year of Yifeng, from the fall of Luo Qicheng, although more than half a month has passed, Asugu Tsering and other former Tubo generals are still fighting over the border issue, and they are noisy every day. For the ranch with a large dispute, Li Xian did not make it clear that he belonged to it, but put it aside, said that he would make a decision in the future, and swore a blood oath with the lord of the five countries, agreeing that the military and political autonomy of the five countries would be forever, but he must be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty forever, and once again respect Gaozong as the heavenly khan, and all things in Tibet will be decided.

On the ninth day of November in the first year of Yifeng, when the heavy snow stopped, Li Xianliu Wang Bing was the governor of Luo, and led 3,000 soldiers to garrison the Hongshan Palace, controlled the five countries and Qinghai, and the whole army pulled out the camp, embarked on the way home, rushed through Naqu before the heavy snow completely closed the mountain, and returned to Qinghai on November 20, leaving 1,000 soldiers to garrison Wuhai City, and 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fuqi City; On the first day of December, the army withdrew to Shanzhou, and each department returned to its own state, and the battle in the northwest ended.

On the third day of December in the first year of Yifeng, Li Xian led his troops back to Lanzhou on the way to return to Lanzhou with a holy decree, ordering Li Xian to hand over the military and political affairs of Hexi to the new governor of Hexi, Heiya Changzhi, and hurried back to the eastern capital. Li Xian did not dare to postpone, after the handover of military power, he led the personal guard team of 2,000 people back to Lanzhou City, and had already packed up his family to meet, braved the vast snow and embarked on the way home, December 15, after the difficult trek, Li Xian and his party had passed Longshan, had not yet arrived in Qizhou, the holy decree arrived, and once again urged Li Xian to hurry back to the eastern capital, as a last resort, Li Xian could only leave the personal guard brigade to protect the family and family slowly, and led a hundred horsemen to brave the snow all the way to Luoyang.

On December 23 of the first year of Yifeng, the snow was heavy, and Li Xian, who was in a hurry day and night, finally returned to Luoyang City after many years of absence.

After many years of absence, it's finally back! Since Gaozong had a will, Li Xian did not dare to disobey, so he could only rush all the way to the imperial city, as soon as he saw the majestic and majestic Zetianmen, the corners of Li Xian's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, and a lot of emotion in his heart swelled up, and the speed of the longitudinal horse galloping was also slightly slowed down, but he did not stop, and rushed all the way to the front of Zetianmen.

"Old slave, see His Royal Highness."

Li Xianfang had just dismounted, and Cheng Denggao, the eunuch of the ceremony, had already led several young eunuchs to greet him, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, the lonely brand is here, so it's good to bother Father-in-law Cheng to do it on his behalf."

For Cheng Denggao, the confidant of the martial queen, Li Xian has never had a good impression at all, and he is too lazy to be false and wrong, so he indifferently took out the number plate from his sleeve, handed it to him, and casually commanded.

"The old slave is waiting for His Highness here on the instructions of His Majesty, please inside."

Cheng Denggao did not reach out to pick up Li Xian's sign, but took a small half step back, waved his hand, and responded respectfully.

"I'm tired."

As soon as he heard Cheng Denggao say this, the green tendons on Li Xian's forehead jumped, but he didn't say much, just said indifferently, raised his feet and walked towards the palace.

"The sons knock to see the father and the queen mother!"

All the way to the Qianyuan Hall speechlessly, just walked into the hall, and saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the big seat, Li Xianzi did not dare to have the slightest neglect, and hurriedly rushed forward, respectfully bowed to the Tao.

"Xian'er, come, get up, get up, let me take a look."

It has been many years since he said goodbye, and when he saw Li Xian salute himself, Gaozong's haggard face was immediately covered with a flush of excitement, and he couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up half-bent over, stretched out his trembling hands, raised them a few times, and cried out in a choked voice.

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing that his father was so excited, Li Xianzi was also quite emotional, not only because he had been separated for too long, but also because of the fact that his brothers had withered, his eyes were red, and two lines of tears could not stop flowing.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, Xian'er is thin, dark, I've worked hard for you outside all these years, I, I'm ......"

Looking at Li Xian's handsome face, Gaozong couldn't help but leave tears, and the corners of his mouth trembled, and at the end, he couldn't cry anymore.

"Father, the child can share the worries of the father, it is really a child's luck, but the child has been gone for many years, and it is a shame that he has not been filial piety in front of his father."

Li Xian's mood is certainly excited, but the ingredients of the drama in the words are not old and young, Shengsheng will play a picture of filial piety vividly, as soon as the scene of filial piety of father and son comes out, the old ministers waiting on the side can't help but cry for it, and for a while, there were faint sobs in the hall, and even the eyes of the Empress Wu were slightly red, as for whether it was really moved or falsely moved, then only the old man knew.

"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, Xian'er has been on the border for many years, and he can use the power of Hexi to exterminate such a big disaster as Tubo, which is really what no one can do, I am happy, but, alas, ......, Xian'er ...... him"

Gaozong stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, comforted Li Xian a few words, and then his face turned dark, and he couldn't say anything anymore after half of his words.

Oh, it's coming! As soon as he saw Gaozong's expression, Li Xian's heart immediately chuckled, and a sour feeling was already surging - although Li Xian was in a hurry all the way, he did not cut off contact with the Eastern Capital, and he was clear about the current dynamics of the court situation, to put it simply, there were two, one was the issue of establishing the prince, and the other was how to convict the abolished prince. The British king is the most expensive! However, Gaozong has never expressed his position, but anyone who dares to ask him face-to-face will be blasted out, even if the person who admonishes him is an old minister like Zhang Wenjun, no exception, so far no one knows who Gaozong wants; As for the latter, Wu Chenghe, the chief judge of the Criminal Department, had already finished the trial, and among the more than 10,000 people involved, more than 400 were beheaded, and there were more than 100 people who copied and destroyed the three clans, and the rest were all mismatched, and the prince also got a death sentence for the great crime of rebellion, and Gaozong was also noncommittal on this matter.

"The father is overrated, and the child is just doing his duty."

Although Li Xian had already guessed Gaozong's intentions, he didn't intend to answer, so he pretended not to hear Gaozong's words, but only humbly said to Gaozong's praise in front of him.

"If everyone acts according to their duty, why should I bother, alas, ......"

Gaozong was not a changeable person in the first place, and those emotions in front of him wanted to lead to Li Xian's advice, but they didn't expect Li Xian to not take over, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit empty, and he couldn't think of how to deal with Fang Hao for a while, so he could only follow Li Xian's words and let out a few sighs that had no nutrition at all, and the gloomy color on his face suddenly deepened a little.

"Father, the child has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Li Xian didn't plan to follow Gaozong's routine, but in terms of purpose, there was not much difference from what Gaozong thought in his heart.

"Xian'er has something to say, but it's okay to speak, I just listen."

Gaozong's purpose is actually one, that is, to save Li Xian's life, not for anything else, but from the psychology of a father, he really doesn't want to see another son die unexpectedly, no matter how unworthy this son is, but after all, father and son have been together for many years, Gaozong really can't bear to let Li Xian die like this, the problem is that Li Xian's sin this time is too heavy, under the conclusive evidence, even if Gaozong is the emperor, it is not good to forcibly pardon him, he can only count on Li Xian to come forward to take care of things, And this is the root cause of Gaozong's crazy urging Li Xian all the way back, Li Xian came back and came back, but he pretended to be confused there, which made Gaozong feel very unhappy.

"The child implores his father to allow the child to visit the sixth brother."

Li Xian has his own sense of proportion in his heart, and he will not change because of Gaozong's cold reception, and after a little silence, he respectfully pleaded.

"Well, good, good, take a look, I'm ready."

Gaozong was worried that no one dared to intercede for Li Xian, and when he heard that Li Xian was willing to visit Li Xian, he was greatly moved, and agreed to Li Xian's request without hesitation......
