"Huh?"

Seeing that Fan Lubing was not going there, Gaozong's face immediately became a little unpleasant, and he snorted coldly, full of displeasure inside.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter, this matter, well, there is something strange in this matter, and it seems that it should be investigated in detail......"

Obviously, compared to Gaozong's displeasure, what worries Fan Lubing more is that he will not be able to complete the task assigned by the martial arts, even if Gaozong's face is as cloudy as the bottom of a pot at this time, Fan Lubing still opened his mouth hard.

"Fan Aiqing is teaching me how to do things, huh?"

Gaozong didn't know that there was something strange inside, but he didn't want to investigate, as soon as Fan Lubing's careful thoughts were exposed, his face couldn't hold back, and he stared at Fan Lubing with a calm expression, and his tone was already extremely bad.

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare ......"

Fan Lubing was originally stubborn, but when he saw that Gao Zong was struggling, how could he still support it, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, bowing his body and not daring to say anything.

"Hmph, I'm ......"

As the emperor, His Majesty Gaozong has always been tolerant, and the courtiers occasionally offended, and most of them laughed at it, but as the father of the calf, Gaozong categorically did not allow others to hurt the already few sons, at this time, seeing Fan Lubing's "sinister intentions", it was really unbearable, even if his attitude of admitting his mistake was humble, Gaozong did not intend to let him have a good time, so he was ready to teach Fan Lubing a lesson, but before he could say the cruel words, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside, Gaozong was stunned, and his eyes immediately swept over, Seeing that the Empress Wu had already led several little eunuchs from behind the screen, his mind immediately twitched for no reason, and the words stopped.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Empress Wu saw the embarrassed look on Gaozong's face at a glance, but as if she was gone, she stepped forward and greeted her softly.

"Mei Niang is here, aren't you going to the household department? Done? ”

Gaozong originally wanted to take advantage of the absence of Empress Wu to cut off the attack on the granary indiscriminately, but he never thought that the matter had not been completed, so he was interrupted by Empress Wu, and he couldn't help but feel a little stupid in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack Empress Wu, so he could only smile awkwardly and greet him indiscriminately.

"The concubine heard about last night's incident in the middle of the road, so she rushed back, and I don't know what the details are, has the granary ever been lost?"

Empress Wu actually didn't go to the household department at all, he was in the palace before, and he was really in the front hall of the Qianyuan Palace, the reason why Fan Lubing came forward first, just wanted to explore the bottom of Gaozong, if Gaozong couldn't afford to "protect" Li Xian's heart, or Gaozong didn't see the strangeness, Empress Wu didn't plan to intervene more, let the case be handled as an iron case first, and the Empress Wu could make a final decision again, get rid of Li Xian, a thorn in the eye, and also take this opportunity to implicate a group of courtiers who didn't listen to the greetings. Clearing the way for the upper position of his henchmen, this kind of situation is the most happy thing for the Empress Wu, but unfortunately although the calculation is good, Gaozong is stunned to "bend the law for personal gain", and the Empress Wu can no longer sit idly by, so he will rush to the critical moment to insert a leg, which is stunned to make Gaozong's perfunctory idea of judging the case fall into the void.

"Fortunately, Xian'er has made proper arrangements, the granary is fine, I have issued an edict to arrest the remnants of the bandits in the whole city, Fan Aiqing should not hurry up and handle the case!"

Although Gaozong didn't know the various arrangements of Empress Wu, he knew that the appearance of Empress Wu was really not conducive to his efforts to save Li Xian, so he didn't plan to explain more about last night's case, but just said it lightly, and tried to send Fan Lubing out.

"Your Majesty, Fan Aiqing has always been old and serious, and she is indeed a responsible person, and this case should be handed over to him for trial, which should ensure that it is clear and clear."

Empress Wu did not speak out against Gaozong's opinion, but smiled gently, and from Gaozong's words, she pushed the boat down the river, and gently and skillfully handed over the power to try the case to Fan Lubing's hands.

"Well, I can trust Fan Aiqing's ability, but after all, this case was solved by Xian'er, so I think it's better to summon Xian'er to discuss one or two, and then make a decision."

The reason why Gaozong was so anxious to drive Fan Lubing out was that he didn't want Empress Wu to interfere in his affairs, and he was very unhappy to hand over the power of the presiding judge to Empress Wu, but it was not good to directly oppose Empress Wu's proposal, so he changed his words and slipped Li Xianti out.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, but the matter of searching for the remaining bandits must not be delayed, it is better for Fan Aiqing to preside over the matter first, and wait for Xian'er and Zhu Zaifu to come, and then discuss the matter."

As soon as she heard Gaozong's words, Empress Wu immediately guessed Gaozong's psychology, and she just wanted to hand over the case to Li Xian for trial, but she didn't care, and just smiled and echoed it.

"Well, that's good, it's decided, come on, go to His Royal Highness the Prince Xuan to enter the palace to admonish!"

Gaozong was still very confident in Li Xian's ability, and after hearing this, he agreed to his proposal, and Gaozong was unwilling to delay any longer, so he made his will with great interest.

"No."

Cheng Denggao was on the side, this listened to Gaozong's order, he didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly responded, led a few little eunuchs and hurried out of the palace, all the way to the East Palace, just out of the gate of heaven, he had already seen that Li Xian's golden chrome car had just stopped at the side of the small square, he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, and rushed to the side of the car, respectfully waiting for Li Xian's appearance.

"The old slave knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The two eunuchs of the East Palace rolled up the curtains of the carriage one left and one right, and several small eunuchs hurriedly set up the steps to get off the carriage.

"Father-in-law Cheng is polite, excuse me."

For Cheng Denggao, a hardcore queen, Li Xianzi was 120,000 points unpleasant, but he still had to do the work on the surface, so he raised his hand modestly and called out indifferently.

"Your Highness, you came just in time, the old slave just took it to the East Palace to announce your message, but you arrived in Kekeli, this is really a coincidence."

Cheng Denggao is afraid of Li Xian to the core, don't look at him talking bad about Li Xian behind his back from time to time, but in front of Li Xian, his flattering smile is never daring to be less.

"Well, lead the way."

There is no need to ask, Li Xian can also guess what the intention of Gaozong's summoning is, although he has already been mentally prepared, but when it is really time to face it, Li Xian's heart still can't help but be gloomy, he is too lazy to talk nonsense with Cheng Denggao, just frowned slightly, and quietly commanded.

"No, Your Highness, please!"

Seeing that Li Xian's mood was not high, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly bowed down to answer the promise, and made a "please" gesture sideways, leading Li Xian into the palace gate, but did not directly introduce Li Xian into the Qianyuan Palace, which was forbidden inside, but let Li Xian go to the empty Deyang Palace, greeted him with a smile, and then turned back to the Qianyuan Palace to resume his life.

"The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Deyang Hall is the place where the early dynasty is located, the place is very spacious, at this time there is Li Xian alone in the hall, and he can't help but be lonely, but Li Xian doesn't care, just stands quietly under the front pier, thinking silently, but he can't be quiet for long, in a steady footsteps, Li Zhen, the smiling king of Yue, has marched into the hall, and bowed respectfully to Li Xian from afar.

"Eighth Uncle doesn't have to be polite."

In terms of seniority, Li Zhen is naturally an elder, but when it comes to status, Li Xian is a half-monarch, a monarch and a minister, but the separation between heaven and earth, for most of the past half a year, Li Xian has long been accustomed to Li Zhen's courtesy, but he will not feel very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness."

Li Xian can be at will, but Li Zhen made a full set of etiquette, thanked him respectfully, and then slowly walked to Li Xian, and said with a warm smile: "Your Highness, the old minister heard that something happened to the 'Deng Ji Firm' last night, I don't know if everything was okay?" ”

"Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives, and the granary was fine."

Last night was full of suspicions, and Li Xian didn't want to talk about it privately with Li Zhen, so he responded in a nutshell, which was full of perfunctory meaning.

"That's good, that's good, well, there is still some surplus grain in the old minister's mansion, not much, three or five hundred stones, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use it, just let me know."

The reason why Li Zhen arrived in the Deyang Hall in advance was to probe Li Xian's bottom and see if Li Xian noticed that he was also involved in yesterday's night attack, but when he saw that Li Xian didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to ask indiscriminately, so he smiled and said yes, and then lowered his voice and sold Li Xian a good one.

"In this case, the palace is grateful to the eighth uncle."

Li Xian had already received a letter of permission before entering the palace, knowing that the grain requisition of the Empress Wu had arrived at the household department, and the situation was inevitably a little tight for Li Xian - although Li Xian had bought a lot of grain from various families in advance a few days earlier, but if he wanted to deal with the more and more disaster victims, he was still tighter, just barely enough, and at this time, he heard that Li Zhen was selling well, Li Xian would not be polite to him, and he should take it with a mouthful.

"It should be, it should be, the old minister eats the king's lu, he should serve the country, and he can share some worries for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the old minister is lucky, well, the old minister has just come from the household department before, it is reported that the decree of the Queen of Heaven has arrived, saying that it is to collect grain from the rich households in the city, and His Royal Highness must have a good heart."

Li Zhen seemed to be going to sell it to the bottom, and after looking left and right nervously, he approached Li Xian's body and reminded in a low voice.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? The palace knows about it, and Uncle Lao has bothered, and the palace is grateful. ”

Of course, the news was learned early in the morning, but Li Xian didn't intend to show it, but said in surprise, and then nodded knowingly, and thanked him with a little sincerity.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, raise your hands, don't be a big deal, last night ......, yo, Pei Xiang, Xue Xiang and other adults have also arrived."

After Li Zhen sold two good things in a row, he wanted to circle the topic back to last night's battle, but before he could speak, the footsteps at the entrance of the main hall had already sounded chaotically, and when he looked sideways, he saw that Pei Xingjian and other ministers had also arrived, so he had to dispel his thoughts.
