Chapter 142 Shooting the Head Bird (First Update)
Princess Yongmu has a very close relationship with King Rong Li Wan, and it can be said that among Li Longji's royal children, the relationship between the two is very good. Otherwise, Li Wan would not have secretly sneaked into Yongmu's Yongmu view to hide. And when he arranged the final foothold, he also chose to be around Yongmuguan, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Although Princess Yongmu became a monk after the death of the concubine, she is the eldest princess of the emperor after all, and she has a considerable degree of influence both in the imperial family and in the field. [Search for the latest updates..]
But to be honest, Yongmu did not participate in King Rong's rebellion, but later King Rong secretly found her, and she agreed to shelter him for a while. In a sense, this can be regarded as a crime of deception.
If the emperor wants to be more serious, Princess Yongmu will not escape her crimes.
It's a pity that the emperor was so angry that Li Wan had a stroke and fell into a coma, so he didn't have time to think about how to deal with Yongmu's matter.
Zhang Xuan originally deliberately let go of the matter and was not prepared to continue to investigate. Yongmu must have the responsibility, but he turned a blind eye and passed, after all, he was the emperor's biological daughter, and there was no need to do things desperately.
Zhang Xuan is unwilling to stiffen the relationship with the Li royal family because of excessive actions. Although he is not afraid, the relationship is too stiff and ultimately not conducive to his current development plans.
Unexpectedly, this Princess Yongmu was so ignorant, but she took the initiative to start stirring up trouble.
This group of royal children was obviously brought into the palace by her, what does she want to do? Is it just to visit the old emperor to fulfill the filial piety of his children?
Zhang Xuan felt a little absurd. The royal family affection is indifferent, and these children of Li Longji may only be in awe and flattery of the emperor, but have no real father-son affection.
Zhang Xuan's suspicious gaze swept over Yong Mu's body, and fell on Li Xuan, the Liang King who was standing beside Yong Mu and was also full of righteous indignation, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of a certain hint that the old emperor had said before.
This Li please...... Could it be that he also coveted the throne?
That's kind of hilarious.
Not everyone can be the emperor, the emperor has many children, but there is only one throne. If anyone is eligible for a piece of the pie, the throne will not be worth much. It's not that this King Liang is not talented enough, but his foundation is too shallow and no one supports him, and he wants to compete with Li Heng for the throne, isn't it ridiculous?
From Zhang Xuan's heart, he doesn't want to see a prince stand up and have ambitions again, because behind the struggle for imperial power is cold-blooded and ruthless, and if you want to kill people, you will shed blood, and you can't tolerate any emotion.
Whether it is the position of Zhang Xuan, Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong, or Li Heng's position, no one is allowed to interfere. For the sake of their own political interests, there is no doubt that whoever stands up will be suppressed.
Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that Li Heng was not without means, in order to defend his imperial position, he would not be merciful under the premise of having an advantage, even if the other party was his younger brother and sister.
Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Xuan with some compassion, and said in his heart, you are forcing Li Heng to be ruthless and kill yourself!
Knowing that it cannot be done can only illustrate the incomparable charm of the throne and supreme power. When Li Xuan was convinced that he still had a glimmer of hope, he naturally wanted to take a risk and see if there was a chance to succeed.
At this time, Yongmu's pandering directly induced the ambition in his heart. Of course, this is also related to the previous emperor's hint to him alone. Knowing that his father intended to pass on the throne to him, Li Xuan was overjoyed.
But not long after, there was news that the old emperor was recuperating from his illness and ignored the state politics and let the crown prince supervise the country. This made Li Xuan disheartened, and at the same time guessed that Li Heng had done it in advance.
Therefore, he and Yongmu gathered together and broke into the palace as soon as the emperor's children were killed, wanting to have a false smile
Yongmu has a bit of a grudge against Zhang Xuan, so her attitude must be very unfriendly, she sneered and looked at Zhang Xuan, "General Zhang is really a big hat!" These people in this palace are His Majesty's own flesh and blood, His Majesty is sick, how can we, as the children of the emperor, not visit? And wait, why do you block it? Why? ”
"Where is my father, we want to see my father! Zhang Xuan, you are just a foreign minister, you support the army in the palace ban, and the palace looks at you is plotting against you! Li Xuan also rebuked angrily.
"This official is ordered to defend the palace ban and protect His Majesty's safety, where is his duty, why are you afraid of gossip?" Zhang Xuan's cold gaze fell on Li Xuan, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and he is recuperating in the imperial study, and your Royal Highnesses are making noise here, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you?" ”
"Whoever wants to see His Majesty must obtain His Majesty's permission. Your Majesty is not allowed, even if it is the prince and princess, you can't go beyond the thunder pool by half a step! Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly raised an octave, "If anyone wantonly makes noise and breeds trouble in the palace ban, don't blame the official for only recognizing the law and not recognizing human feelings!" ”
Zhang Xuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of coldness and ruthlessness.
A guard of the Forbidden Palace stepped forward with a murderous step, and the sword straddled his waist, and his voice was not small.
Some of the royal children flinched back in fear.
"Presumptuous! Zhang Xuan, you are so bold! This palace is the eldest princess of His Majesty, and you are a small general of Yulinwei, who dares to be rude to this palace, Princess Yongmu shouted angrily.
Zhang Xuan ignored Yongmu, but turned his head to look at Li Xuan, the king of Liang, and said softly, "His Royal Highness the King of Liang, Zhang Xuan has a word of advice against his ears, is His Highness willing to listen to it?" ”
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously said, "You say." ”
"Your Majesty is recuperating from illness, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, this is Your Majesty's edict, and it is also the support of important ministers in the court. It's a fact, and nothing can be changed. I hope that His Highness will recognize the situation...... Your Highness may ask yourself, are you worthy of the glorious king of the day? ”
"King Rong has strong power, he is in charge of the army and forces the palace, and he still ends up with a broken family and a stench left behind for 10,000 years, not to mention His Royal Highness!"
"Further is a cliff, and a step back is the sea and the sky. Now the people of Datang are determined and cannot tolerate any further incidents. The crown prince is a benevolent and virtuous king, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to let go, Zhang Xuan can guarantee that His Royal Highness will be prosperous and rich for life. ”
"Good medicine is good for disease, and good advice is good for action. I hope that Your Highness will not be deceived by some people and embark on a road of no return! ”
Zhang Xuan spoke quickly, and Li Xuan's expression changed greatly when he heard it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuan turned his head to stare at Princess Yongmu, and said lightly, "Her Royal Highness Princess Yongmu, people, you must know how to advance and retreat." Zhang Xuan always thought that His Royal Highness was born as a Qing cultivator, but he didn't expect His Highness to still have ambitions. ”
"You want to spew blood! Zhang Xuan, this palace wants to see his father, is there anything wrong? Yongmu was annoyed and angry, and said angrily.
Zhang Qiui smiled coldly, "Your Highness wants to see Your Majesty, of course it's right." But Your Majesty doesn't see His Highness, and His Highness gathers a crowd to breed, which is a misdeed! ”
"Come on, get out of the way, this official wants to see, who dares to disobey His Majesty's ban and enter without announcement!" 、
Zhang Xuan suddenly snorted and waved his hand.
The palace guards and inner supervisors who were guarding the door of the imperial study suddenly stepped out of the way and stood solemnly on both sides.
"Whoever dares to disobey the Holy Command, enter without announcing it, and enter casually. This official has an ugly sentence to say in front of him, if anyone disturbs His Majesty, His Majesty will blame it, and Hugh blames General Ben for turning his face and being ruthless! ”
"Your Highness Yongmu, please."
Zhang Xuan sneered.
Princess Yongmu stepped forward, but hesitated. The others, with complicated faces, stood still and did not move.
"Your Majesty's illness is caused by the accumulation of anger. Princess Yongmu is to blame for this. ”
Zhang Xuan took a step forward and looked at Princess Yongmu, "King Rong Li Wan faked his death to escape, and recently hid in the Yongmu Temple. King Rong committed suicide, and His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't afford to fall ill. ”
"Your Highness's crime of harboring and harboring treason against the party has not yet been investigated...... You gathered all your highnesses to go down to the palace to cause trouble, but Zhang Xuan asked His Royal Highness Yongmu - this is His Royal Highness's filial piety as the eldest princess of His Majesty? ”
Zhang Xuan's words made Yongmu's face turn pale, and the other royal children's faces also changed greatly.
King Rong faked his death, had been hiding in Yongmu Temple, and had just committed suicide...... This shocking news made the royal children who came to coax listen to it, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Xuan's shoulders trembled, and he realized that he had fallen for Yongmu. He is certainly ambitious, but he is not ignorant of the times. This time, I came with the intention of temptation.
Seeing that things were far more complicated and weird than he imagined, he broke out in a cold sweat, arched his hand to Zhang Xuan, turned his head with a calm face and left. And the other royal children also dispersed one after another.
Only Princess Yongmu, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was in a dilemma, with a complicated and embarrassed look on her face, and even a trace of fear.
Zhang Xuan didn't pay any attention to her anymore and walked away.
For Zhang Xuan, in this chess game, Princess Yongmu is just an inconsequential pawn, and whether she survives or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. Anyway, today has warned her deeply, if she continues to be obsessed, it is self-defeating.
As soon as the so-called gun hits the first bird and can't catch the opportunity, then it's no wonder.
Zhang Xuan hadn't walked a few steps with the others, when he heard a crisp female voice calling behind him: "Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, stay, stay!" ”
Zhang Xuan was stunned, looked back, and saw a woman not far away with a gorgeous palace dress and long skirt, who was swaying from the palace road on the other side and trotted over, chasing a few palace maids and little eunuchs with flowers, and among the palace maids and eunuchs was the alchemist Sanzhi Daoist who Zhang Xuan had seen before, also known as the three idiots.
Looking at this outfit, it is definitely not an imperial princess, but more like a princess.
As for which princess it is, Zhang Xuan doesn't know.
Li Longji has 30 sons and 31 princesses, and such a large number of royal children is also rare among the emperors of previous dynasties.
Zhang Xuan stopped and greeted him.
The woman panted and stopped, her beautiful round face and facial features were very delicate, and her big watery eyes were dripping and turning, looking Zhang Xuan up and down.
