"The son knocks on the queen mother."

In a flurry of footsteps, the Empress Wu in a purple dress had already led Cheng Deng's senior eunuchs and palace ladies to turn in from behind the screen.

"The concubine has seen the saint."

Empress Wu didn't pay attention to Li Xian's salute at all, didn't even look at Li Xian, walked straight to Gaozong, and bowed one by one.

"Ah, Mei Niang is here."

At this time, Gaozong actually didn't want to see Empress Wu in every way, but everyone came, but Gaozong didn't have the courage to leave after the martial arts, so he could only rub his hands awkwardly and reply with a nonsense that was not very nutritious.

"Why is it so dark in this palace, come here, hold the lamp!"

Empress Wu got up, and did not look at Gaozong's face, but gave an order on his own, although this move is small, the connotation is not simple, faintly accusing Gaozong's father and son of playing dark room operations, as soon as Si Yan came out, Gaozong's already embarrassed face became more ugly, but it was not good to explain much in this matter, so he could only smile helplessly, and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids wordlessly to light up the candlesticks placed in the palace one by one, and it would not be long, the entire palace was already transparent, compared to the bright sunshine outside, not the slightest.

"Mei Niang is here to look for me, but what happened to the court?"

Although Gaozong is not a Ming Jun, he is not a dull person, since he knows that the Empress Wu must have come here for Gao Zhi's incident, although he is reluctant to talk about this matter in every way, but his heart is inevitably a little empty, and the words that come out of the question obviously carry the meaning that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Your Majesty should already know, when Gao Zhizhou was inspecting Caizhou, he was assassinated by a villain, and the dignified Zaifu died, this scandal through the ages should also be thoroughly investigated to find out the truth, if not, how can the hearts of the subjects of the world be appeased!"

Empress Wu is a shrewd individual, how could he not hear that Gaozong is knowingly asking, so he glanced at Li Xian, who had retreated to the side, with great meaning, and then made a righteous indignation to speak.

"Well, it should be checked, it should be checked, Mei Niang's words are very true, I am accurate."

Gaozong originally thought that there were many doubts in this case, and since Empress Wu proposed to investigate, he would not object, as long as it did not involve the phase, what would Empress Wu do, Gaozong would not have any objections.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that this case is serious, and she has to be able to go to investigate it thoroughly, I don't know if Your Majesty thinks so?"

Empress Wu was not relieved by Gaozong's quasi-performance, the expression on her face was still solemn, and she stated in a tough tone.

"This is natural, Mei Niang just looks at it, and I have no reason to be inaccurate."

Literally, what Empress Wu said was all right, and Gaozong had no intention of knowing specific government affairs, so he would not have any different opinions, so he agreed with his mouth.

"The concubine thanks Your Majesty for your trust, even so, the concubine has the courage to recommend a person, Liu Yi, a scholar in the middle school, is the right person, Your Majesty may like it?"

As soon as he saw that Gaozong responded so briskly, Empress Wu's solemn expression was already a little slow, but the steps of advancing were not slow at all, leaving no room for Li Xian to interject, and then Liu Yizhi was introduced cautiously.

"This ......, I'm right."

As soon as he heard Liu Yizhi's name, Gaozong immediately remembered the rumors that Li Xian had said before, and there was inevitably some muttering in his heart, and he hesitated slightly, but in the end, he still agreed to the invitation of the martial queen.

"Your Majesty Shengming, but the concubine has another worry, it stands to reason that Liu Yizhi's talent is outstanding, and it is more than enough to make this errand, however, his official position is slightly low, and all the officials involved in the case are on it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, if there is a bad pool, I am afraid that it is not beautiful, yes, the concubine thinks that it should be over-promoted, and it is better to entrust it to be the third product under the same book?"

As soon as Gaozong was allowed to do so, Empress Wu unceremoniously climbed up the pole, and he had no scruples about begging for Liu Yizhi.

"This ......"

Although the three products under the same Zhongshu sect are fictitious, but they are the threshold for entering the political affairs hall, just with this name, Liu Yizhi has also become a Zaifu in a grand manner, which is not something that Gaozong is happy to see, but he promised too much before that, and in the end, it is difficult to find a reason to oppose it, and in desperation, he can only set his eyes on Li Xian.

Hey, the old man's fear of guilt has been committed again, it seems that there is no possibility of healing in this life!

As soon as he saw Gaozong's eyes swept over, Li Xian's heart was filled with bitterness, he really didn't want to come out of this head, but in such a situation, except for him Li Xian, no one had the courage to compete with the Empress Wu, in order to ensure that Liu Yizhi's entry into the prime minister was stopped, this head, even if Li Xian was reluctant, it was inevitable.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, the son thought that the queen mother's words were wrong, Liu Yizhi and his people had served under the son of the minister, when it came to the talent of government affairs, there may be some, but in the way of judging the case, but the ability is average, and it does not have very outstanding political achievements, suddenly with the position of the chief assistant, how can he convince the public, therefore, the son thinks that this is not appropriate!"

Others were afraid of Empress Wu's domineering and ruthlessness, but Li Xian didn't care at all, didn't leave any face for Empress Wu, and bluntly raised objections.

"Xian'er is so afraid that the truth of this case will be revealed, is it because he has some scruples?"

Empress Wu did not argue with Li Xianqiang about Liu Yizhi's ability or not, but smiled sarcastically and asked meaningfully.

"The child doesn't know what the scruples of the queen mother are, the root of the matter, this case has nothing to do with the child, and how can there be scruples at all, but the son heard some rumors, saying that the Taoist priest who led the assassination of the prime minister had appeared in the Dajiao Temple, I really don't know how he got into the palace, and I am afraid that it must be checked by a good student."

When it comes to digging pits, Li Xian is already a good player, how could he be afraid of the allusion of the Empress Wu, and unceremoniously pointed out Zhang Er's identity.

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

After experiencing Li Xianbing's mess with the communication door, Gaozong was not very at ease about the defense of the palace ban, and when he heard that Zhang Erqi had appeared in the palace, he was immediately startled, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked.

"Erchen doesn't dare to lie and coax his father, this matter is true, if you don't believe it, you can take down the big horn viewer and so on, and you can know it in the first instance!"

Li Xian has long wanted to clear Qingxu and other big-horned viewers, but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity, this time since the martial queen himself sent to the door, then Li Xianke is not polite, he actually wants to take advantage of this case to make trouble, in order to defeat the force in the hands of the martial queen in one fell swoop.

"Mei Niang, what the hell is going on?"

As soon as he heard Li Xian say so surely, Gaozong already believed a little, but because all the Taoist priests of Dajiaoguan were invited by Empress Wu, it was not good to make a decision on the spot, so he looked at Empress Wu with an unhappy expression and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Your Majesty, this is all framed words, all the immortals of Dajiaoguan are all born in Baiyun Temple of Jiuhua Mountain, their resumes are innocent and testable, and Qixia Mountain is one south and one north, how can there be anything to do with it, such absurd words can also prevail without hindrance, which shows that the morning wind is already under the sun, if it is not rectified, there will be endless troubles, and please ask the Holy Edict to make it clear!"

Empress Wu dared to blatantly pull Qingxu and others into the palace, since she had already done her best, she was not afraid of investigation, and when she heard Li Xian expose the matter, she immediately took a bite back, and she was fearless.

"Hmm, this ......"

Gaozong was originally a person who did not have a great opinion, and when he heard what the Empress Wu said, he retreated again, although he still did not believe it in his heart, but it was not good to dwell on this matter anymore, and he said twice, and then there was no follow-up.

"Father, there must be an explanation of right and wrong, the son is not talented, I wish to ask for a thorough investigation of this matter!"

Li Xian finally caught a flaw, how could he let the Empress Wu pass the pass so easily, even if he couldn't level the big horn in one fell swoop, but he had to completely mess up the matter of Liu Yizhi's appointment.

"Well, that's fine, then ......"

Although Gaozong has a slight suspicion of Li Xian, there is still no shortage of trust, and seeing that Li Xian insists on investigating, he also has this intention, so he groaned and agreed to Li Xian's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, since Xian'er insists on investigating, it should be a good time to investigate, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Xian'er to come forward, and I still want to avoid suspicion after all, so I will hand it over to the political hall to check it."

How ruthless Li Xian's methods are, the Empress Wu has learned too many times, and he refuses to really let Li Xian preside over his affairs, this time seeing that Gaozong is going to make an order, he hurriedly interjected from the side.

"Well, that's fine, it's so decided, and I'll send an edict to the government hall when I turn around."

Thinking about Empress Wu's words, Gaozong also felt reasonable, he couldn't let Li Xian take the lead, and let him investigate the case, which obviously didn't make sense.

"Father Emperor Shengming, the son thought that since he wanted to avoid suspicion, then the old man should preside over his affairs, and the son suggested that Liu Renliang should be transferred back to the dynasty and judge the case in detail as the chief assistant of the political affairs hall to find out the truth!"

Seeing that Liu Yi's appointment as prime minister was almost disrupted, Li Xian refused to let go of the great opportunity to completely finalize the situation, so he moved Liu Renliang out while the iron was hot.

"Well, Zhengzheng is a good hand at investigating the case, this matter is so decided, Zhengzheng is the mainstay, Liu Yizhi assists from the side, and the time limit is one month, and this huge case must be investigated."

Gaozong originally wanted Liu Renliang to come out of the mountain again, and at this time, Li Xian had already handed over the ladder, so why didn't he hurry up to take advantage of the steps down, but in order to take care of the emotions of the Empress Wu, he still put Liu Yizhi in the position of deputy chief judge.

"Father Emperor Shengming, the son has no objection!"

Seeing this, the corners of the Empress Wu's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end, he still didn't dwell on it, but he didn't dwell on it anymore, but his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Li Xian......
