Chapter 15 Victory or Defeat is Unknown
When a clever swordsman makes a move, he is often casual as an understatement, but he can always accurately hit the weakest point of the opponent, a blow is enough to seal the throat, showing his ability in the ordinary, it is obvious, as far as political battles are concerned, Wu Meiniang is such a top master, as soon as the move comes out, the result is doomed - to persuade and even control Gaozong, this is to take the general momentum, and a possible court storm will be born into a family meeting, this is a fixed shape, as for the situation of the scene of the edict to ask, that is a sword that seals the throat with blood, It's just that only here can neither be faked nor moved, but, for Yu Wu's later view, it has infinite use of leverage.
The skill of the Empress Wu is difficult for others to understand, at least the Gaozong in the hall and Li Hong and Li Xian, who are known for their virtuous ability, have not been able to understand the tricks, but all this can not be hidden from Li Xian, who has the memory of the third life, the problem is that it is one thing to see clearly, but it is another thing to be able to find a way to deal with it, it is precisely because of Li Xian's sobriety, so he feels extraordinarily troublesome, but it is a pity that even if he is troublesome again, he can only bite the bullet and describe the events in the edict one by one.
"Okay, my son can see the subtleties, and he can see righteousness and act bravely, the great luck of the country and the great luck of the court!" As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, Empress Wu immediately stroked his palms and smiled, and praised him, and then looked at Li Zhi sideways, and said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, Xian'er is resolute, Xian'er is wise, Hong'er can take care of the overall situation, and all are good. ”
"Ah, this, this, good, good, deserve to be rewarded, deserve to be rewarded, Mei Niang's words are deeply in line with my meaning, good, good, hahaha......"
Listening to Li Xian's babbling words before, Gaozong's face was already gloomy as water, although he never said anything, in fact, his heartstrings were very tight, and he was afraid that Wu Meiniang would take three sons, just because Gaozong knew very well that Cui Xuanzhe passed on Wu Meiniang's will, and what Li Xian brothers did was obviously pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, if Wu Meiniang was really mad about it, Gaozong asked himself if he didn't have the courage to compete with him, but he didn't expect that Wu Meiniang was not angry, but wanted to ask for credit for the three sons, The suddenness of such a change greatly surprised Gaozong, and Gaozong couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Father, what the sons and daughters are doing is just doing their duty, and they really don't dare to claim their own credit."
Li Xian was also shocked by Wu Meiniang's words, and when he saw that his father had opened the golden mouth, his hanging heart immediately relaxed, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and humbled himself, saying that he didn't dare, but the irrepressible joy on his face unmistakably revealed his surprise thoughts.
"The duty is good, the most rare thing is the duty, the virtuous can know the duty, and will be the pillar of the country in the future, Xian'er, you have to learn from your sixth brother." Wu Meiniang waved her hand with a smile, and praised Li Xian again, but there was a faint meaning of beating the prince Li Hong in her words, which made Li Hong's face stiffen slightly.
"What the queen mother said is that the sixth brother can be anxious about the urgency of the court, and the sons and daughters are impressed, and it is really a virtuous king."
His father and mother all praised Li Xian, even if Li Hong was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it at this time, not only that, but he also had to hurry up and have fun, and the greasy taste in his heart could be imagined.
It's over, the general trend is gone! A bunch of stupid people, they dizzy after hearing a few good words, it's really unmatchable! Seeing that his father and two brothers had all fallen into Wu Meiniang's trap and didn't know it, although Li Xian's face was also smirking happily, his heart sank to the bottom - the reason why Li Xian would force his head this time, although it is not excluded that there is a reason for dissatisfaction with Wu Meiniang, but the main purpose is to have the opportunity to intervene in the government openly, which has obviously been seen through by Wu Meiniang, after giving a little sweetness, Li Xian is bound to be content, and then when discussing the case, Yizun will no longer be stubborn in his earlier plan, nine times out of ten it is mostly compromise, and without Li Xian as the protagonist, how can such a drama of forcing the palace continue? What's more, Wu Meiniang's words also cleverly separated the relationship between Li Hong and Li Xian, and the two brothers had a gap between their hearts, and the next infighting can be imagined, and the final result can only be that both of them become puppets in Wu Meiniang's hands.
"Your Majesty, the case of the edict is related to the dignity of the imperial court, it is really unusual, I think that Choi Hyun-cheol is just a petty official of the eighth grade, how can he have the courage to falsely preach the holy decree, there must be something strange in this, and it must be investigated thoroughly as soon as possible." As Li Xian expected, the family had just laughed and talked for a short time, and the martial arts queen changed her words and threw out the topic with a harmonious atmosphere.
"Check, check, Mei Niang said well, there are a lot of doubts in this matter, don't check how to convince the public, just ......" Gaozong's mind was relaxed, and he listened to Wu Meiniang mention that he wanted to investigate the case, and he was a little confused, and he really didn't understand what Wu Meiniang's words meant, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless for a while.
"Your Majesty Shengming, that Dali Zhenghou Shanye has always been sincere, and as an official, he is conscientious and conscientious, and he makes fewer mistakes, according to Xian'er, it can be seen that what he did was caused by the villain's blindness, although there is, fortunately it has not caused a big mistake, and the concubine thinks that he should be given a chance to redeem his merits, what is the will of the saint?" Seeing that Gaozong hesitated, Wu Meiniang immediately chuckled and proposed a solution in a slightly coquettish tone.
"Ah, this, this ......" As soon as Gaozong heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he had the heart to speak out against it, but he didn't have the guts, he stammered for a while, and he didn't say why, and then he saw that Wu Meiniang's face was already gloomy, and he couldn't help but be deflated, and he spread his hands helplessly and said: "That's the case, it's according to what Meiniang played." ”
Let the thief go to check the thief, it's really a big joke, not only Gaozong was dumbfounded, Li Hong and Li Xian were all dumbfounded, Li Hong didn't care, he couldn't figure out the cause and experience of this matter, and he didn't want to refute it on the spot, As for Li Xian, firstly, he just got a lottery from the Empress Wu, and it is really not good to tear his face at this time, and secondly, he is quite jealous of the Empress Wu's wrist, and he thinks that there is no need to fight with the Empress Wu at this time, so after his face changed a few times, he remained silent at the end.
Damn, it's really annoying to have such a shruggy daddy! Seeing that the chicken and egg were about to be empty, Li Xian's heart was crooked enough, it was as uncomfortable as eating a fly raw, the problem was that his father and brother had already compromised, even if Li Xian could toss no matter how he tossed, it was difficult to help the general trend, so he could only retreat, so he gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "Father Emperor Shengming, the child thinks that Lord Hou will try Qiao Zhao's case, but Lord Shangguan's case has another reason, and it seems that there is something wrong with the case. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's such a truth, what Xian'er said is very agreeable, hmm, ah, does Mei Niang have a definite opinion on this matter?" After a few tosses, Gaozong had already been dizzy, and he forgot the original intention of rescuing Shangguanyi, and was reminded by Li Xian like this, and suddenly woke up and agreed one after another, but the corner of his eyes saw that Wu Meiniang's face faded, and Gaozong immediately shrank back and obediently handed over the right to speak to Wu Meiniang.
"Hmm." Wu Meiniang did not rush to make a decision this time, but said noncommittally, and glanced at Li Xian with complicated eyes, full of suspicion and consternation - don't look at Wu Meiniang who has been letting Li Xian describe what happened, it seems that she attaches great importance to Li Xian, in fact, in Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Xian is just a cowardly and incompetent little guy, and she can't see anything extraordinary, but she is such an inconspicuous little guy, and she actually broke through her vague strategy in one word, and Wu Meiniang can't help but be suspicious.
Trouble is coming! Li Xian is not the waste person before, his mind has long been extremely mature, as soon as he touched Wu Meiniang's eyes, he immediately guessed what Wu Meiniang was thinking in his heart, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb, but Li Xian didn't plan to change his words, just because at this point, if he couldn't get back from Shangguanyi's life and death, this plan would be a complete failure, and the consequences would be difficult to stop Wu Meiniang's pace of governing the dynasty.
Li Xian's plan at the beginning was to take advantage of Li Xian's eagerness to gain a foothold in the court, and he mobilized his ministers to take advantage of the opportunity of the confinement of the Empress Wu to make a surprise attack, not seeking to completely collapse the Hou Party, but it was possible to kill a few people in the Hou Party, especially Xu Jingzong, who impeached Shangguan Yi, was the main target of Li Xian's move, but unfortunately this purpose had fallen into the void due to the decisive action of the Empress Wu, in this case, the only thing Li Xian could insist on was to temporarily save Shangguan Yi's life, so as to preserve the vitality of the court. It will not make all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty succumb to Wu Meiniang's obscenity - the real reason for Shangguanyi's conviction is that Gaozong intends to abolish the edict of the queen, which everyone in the court knows, if it is so and so offended that Shangguan Yi of the Empress Wu can be spared, the significance of the encouragement to the important ministers of the court is extraordinary, so no matter how difficult it is, Li Xian has to bite the bullet.
Pressure, massive pressure! Wu Meiniang didn't say a word for a long time, and she didn't even make the slightest move, but the pressure on Li Xian was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Xian was a little breathless, not only him, but also Gaozong, who was sitting next to Wu Meiniang, twisted his body a few times uneasily, as for Li Hong and Li Xian, the two little brothers, their faces were already pale, and their breathing was much heavier......
