Chapter 600: Head to Head (Part II)
"Xian'er Hugh wants to mess around, this is the ...... of the court"
Empress Wu is not an ordinary person, she will not be confused by Li Xian's well-behavedness, and she doesn't believe that Li Xian's so-called poetry has no intentions, and she doesn't want to be sideways, so she unceremoniously plans to give Li Xian a big hat that is not doing business, so as to block Li Xian's mouth.
"Xian'er can write poems? I was very curious, so I came and listened to me. ”
Gaozong also couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xian's gourd, but now his hope of saving Li Xian's life was on Li Xian's body, and he didn't want Li Xian to be suppressed by Empress Wu so soon.
"Yes, the sons and daughters will obey their father's orders."
Li Xian didn't pay attention to the face of Tie Qing of Empress Wu at all, and respectfully bowed to Gaozong, then stood up straight, and said with a sad face: "Under the stage of planting melon yellow, the melon ripe seeds are separated, one pick is good for the melon, and then the melon is thin, and the three picks are still free, and the picks are not returning!" ”
Li Xian's voice is not loud, and his voice is also low, but the magnetic voice has a kind of speculative appeal in it, and the listener can't help but bow his head and ponder, as for Gaozong, he has long been unable to stop the old tears, ignoring his own image, sobbing and his face is full of tears and snot, even the Empress Wu's eyes are a little dim, but he soon woke up, and looked at Li Xian's eyes with an unconcealed murderous aura, but at this moment, she was angry, but she didn't dare to speak easily, can only be ruthless in the heart.
"I can't pick it anymore, I can't pick it anymore, I can't, I can't......"
Gaozong is really sad, he only has eight sons in total, the eldest son Li Zhong was given death, and the fifth son Li Hong was poisoned.
"Father Emperor Shengming, the son thinks that although the fifth brother has a big fault, he may repent deeply, he is already a good person, although his sin is big, but there is also a way to forgive, he should be given a way to reform, the so-called law, do not cure the disease and save people's ears, how can there be no reason not to reform with others, the son of the minister implores his father to issue an edict, allow the fifth brother to be released in a place, with all his body!"
"Cucumber Words" should have been written by Li Xian, but it was plagiarized by Li Xian, but Li Xian had no chance to write such a desperate poem again, but since it was used to save his life, Li Xian felt guilty in his heart.
"I ......"
Gaozong's mood was stirring at this time, and he wanted to save Li Xian's life, how could he not agree to Li Xian's request, and with a wipe of tears, he had to say yes to come down.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is something wrong with His Royal Highness the British King's discussion, you must know that the country has its own laws, rebellion is the first of the ten evils, the crime is unforgivable, and the three treasures are already extrajudicial graces, and if you want to be released, there will be a suspicion of forgiveness, and the minister implores Your Majesty and Niangniang to be clear!"
The Donggong rebellion case is a big case handled by Wu Chenghe, and it is also a great opportunity for him to show the Empress Wu, since he does not want to be mixed up by Li Xian for Shengsheng, at this time, when he saw that Gaozong was going to approve Li Xian's invitation, he was anxious, and he didn't wait for the Empress Wu to hint, he was already jumping out with a roar, and he strongly objected.
"Your Majesty, although Wu Shangshu's words are against the ear, they are loyal, and the concubine implores Your Majesty to think twice."
Empress Wu is stoic by nature, and he has never been a master who is willing to admit defeat easily, and he does not want to be overturned by Li Xian.
"Humph!"
Although Gaozong was in a rage, he was still afraid of guilt in the end, and was interrupted by the Empress Wu like this, although it was not good to attack Wu Chenghei again, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart, so he snorted coldly, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot in an instant.
"Wu Shangshu opened his mouth to speak about the law, and what he said when he closed his mouth is also the law, I think he must be a person who understands the law?"
Gaozong was afraid of being afraid and didn't dare to speak, but Li Xian didn't have that concern, he didn't pay attention to the aggressive gaze of the Empress Wu, sneered, his eyes were as sharp as knives and looked at Wu Chenghe, and he asked coldly.
"This ......, His Royal Highness laughed, since the lower official took charge of the Criminal Department, he has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he did not dare to be negligent, and the "Tang Law" has been kept in mind."
Wu Chengsi didn't expect Li Xian to target himself in court without any taboos, and he was choked by Li Xian's evil anger when he landed, but he didn't want to weaken his own morale, so he replied with a smile.
"It's so good, I have a question, and I ask Wu Shangshu to solve the confusion on my behalf, I don't know if Wu Shangshu is willing?"
Li Xian smiled disdainfully and asked casually.
"This, this ......, hehe, this is natural, Your Highness, please say, the lower officials should know everything, and the words are endless."
Li Xian asked casually, but Wu Chengsi didn't dare to accept it easily, he said twice, looked at Empress Wu who was sitting on the big seat, and nodded quietly when he saw Empress Wu, so he pretended to accept it heroically, but his heart was still very empty, and the smiling smile on his face was really stiff and tight.
"Well, Lone listened to Wu Shangshu's words before, and decided that the truth of the Donggong case has been revealed, and the whole case has been concluded, so there is no doubt about it, but is it so?"
Li Xian nodded quietly and asked indifferently.
"Indeed, I wonder what His Highness means by this? Could it be that there is something missing? Please advise! ”
Wu Chengsi was originally tense in his nerves, afraid that Li Xian would ask a very strange question, but at this time, when he heard that Li Xian actually asked about the case, his heart was settled, and he thought that the case was already under control, and he was not afraid that Li Xianneng would turn over the case, not only gave a positive answer, but also turned Li Xian's army.
"Omission? It turns out that Wu Shangshu still knows that there are omissions in this case? Hehe, is Lone really a little underestimated? Li Xian has always hated Wu Chenghe, who has no ethics at all, not to mention the grievances of the previous life, just because he is the dog leg of the martial queen, Li Xian did not plan to leave him a little face, so after unceremoniously brushing him, his face suddenly turned solemn, and he scolded angrily: "What is the role of Chen Xiaotian and Zhu Kai in this case?" Why did Wu Sansi deliberately not report to the palace because he knew that the lonely fifth brother was instigated by the villain? Why did you wait for the East Palace guards to enter the palace before launching an ambush? What is the reason for this? Also, there are not a few thieves Chen and Zhu who killed the Yulin soldiers all the way, why is there no such record in the case file? Where are these two thieves now? What is the reason for deliberately withholding such information? Say! ”
"This, this, this ......"
The evil qi on Li Xian's body was boiled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, which was very amazing, and under this sudden launch, how could it be affordable by people like Wu Chengsi who had never seen blood, plus the matter of Chen and Zhu was exposed by Li Xian in court, Wu Chenghe's heart was already panicked, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and he was so shocked that the cold sweat on his face was still flowing wildly.
"Father, the son suspects that there is something strange in the case of the East Palace, although the fifth brother has a big mistake, but it is obvious that he has been bewitched by the villain, and the hidden situation must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, why block the mouth of the people in the world, and hope that the father and emperor will see it!"
Li Xian didn't even look at the flustered Wu Chenghe, turned to one side, and made a big gift to Gaozong, and asked in a painful tone.
Uproar, an uproar, the ministers have long suspected that this case is not as simple as it seems, but Li Xian's rebellion is a fact, and the ministers and workers are forced by the obscenity of the Empress Wu, but no one dares to interfere in this case.
"Bold Wu Chenghei, Er'an dares to deceive, you can be guilty!"
Although Gaozong is a little weaker, he is not stupid, and now, how can he not see that this case is a ghost behind the scenes of the Empress Wu, and the anger in his heart can no longer be suppressed, and he is very angry and pats the dragon case, and unceremoniously breaks off.
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, We're angry, We're ......"
Wu Chengsi was originally dizzy by Li Xian's evil anger, and if he was attacked by Gaozong like this, how could he still stand, so he fell to his knees in a hurry, kowtowing like pounding garlic and shouting in his throat.
"Your Majesty is angry, the concubine thinks that there is nothing wrong with this matter, Xian'er may be bewitched by the villain, but his heart is not strong but it is also a fact, even if there are thousands of reasons, the rebellion is an indisputable fact, Xian'er is far away in Tibet, I don't know the specific circumstances of the case, some doubts but no wonder."
Seeing that Wu Chenghei couldn't bear it at all, lest he say something unbearable in court, although Empress Wu was unwilling, he had to forcibly come out to stop him.
"I don't care if it's a fact or not, what I want to do is not the turn of others to point fingers, I have made up my mind, since then I have removed the position of Prince Li Xian, demoted to the king of Jiangling County, and immediately went out of Beijing to take up my post, without my will, I must not leave the territory without permission!"
Gaozong had a small dispute with Empress Wu before the last dynasty, in order to decide whether to let Li Xian go, but at that time, Gaozong was afraid of internal thoughts, and failed to resist Empress Wu's insistence, so he could only be unwilling to lose the battle, but at this time, under the anger and attack, he no longer paid attention to Empress Wu's meaning, and it was extremely rare to bring out the emperor's posture.
"Father Emperor Shengming!"
The effect that should have been achieved has been achieved, and Li Xian did not plan to dwell on this case any more, so he did not hesitate to be the first to stand up and praise it.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The ministers didn't want to participate in the open confrontation between the king and the empress, but at this time, seeing that Gaozong had made up his mind, no one was willing to make any more extraneous branches, and he also followed the mountain to praise him.
"Kick off the father, the queen mother, and the sons have a book to play!"
Gaozong rarely went to the court once, in order to save Li Xian's life, now the goal has been achieved, he doesn't want to have anything to worry about, and the body has been tired for a long time, so he owes his body to get up, and plans to retire from the court, but he didn't wait for him to get up, but he saw that the winged king Li Xulun had flashed out from the side, holding the fold of the yellow silk in his hand, and reported in a loud voice.
