Tang Ao returned to the British Prince's Mansion late at night, took out the letter from the partition and tore it up, changed his clothes and wanted to say hello to Li Xian.

At this time, I learned what happened in the palace, Buguang Chongyan was killed by him, and Li Xian was arrested for rebellion, which made Tang Ao incomprehensible.

What made Tang Ao even more stunned was that the eunuch of the British Prince's Mansion said that it was no one else who accused Li Xian of rebellion, it was Zhao Daosheng, the eunuch who Li Xian had been particularly favored recently, who not only accused Li Xian of rebellion, but also took Ming Chongyan to death.

Tang Ao was stunned for a long time, many thoughts flashed in his mind, Zhao Daosheng accused Li Xian of rebellion, and admitted that he sent someone to assassinate Ming Chongyan, all of this is a conspiracy at all, and it is the little eunuch Zhao Daosheng who was played by Li Xian and ignored by Ming Chongyan who took advantage of the situation to set up this conspiracy.

"The depth of the city is too deep for me." Tang Ao sighed abruptly, the opportunity that Zhao Daosheng seized can be described as steady and ruthless, this time Li Xian's position as the crown prince will definitely not be guaranteed, and whether he can survive or not is between the two.

The stakes are very high, Tang Ao is secretly involved, and he can't help but be a little flustered, and he wants to stay by Li Xian's side immediately, the current palace is definitely not safe.

Tang Ao came to the palace in a hurry, and happened to meet the eunuch Yang Sihe, and grabbed Yang Sihe's clothes: "Young eunuch Yang, can the king be in the palace?" Where? ”

Yang Sihe knew that Tang Ao and Li Xian were close, and said in a low voice: "Tang Gongzi be quiet, the crown prince and the king of England and other highnesses are all in the Taiji Palace, and the king of England just now also instructed me that if Tang Gongzi enters the palace, change into the clothes of a eunuch and wait outside the Taiji Palace." ”

When Tang Ao and Yang Sihe were changing clothes, they learned that the so-called family ceremony was being held in the Taiji Palace, but the scene was gradually out of control.

Tang Ao wore eunuch clothes and went straight to the outside of Taiji Palace, and saw Wu Zetian from a distance who seemed to be reprimanding Li Xian, Li Xian knelt on the ground, his hands were tied, and there were more than a dozen people tied with him, and Zhao Daosheng was impressively listed.

Li Zhi, who had been ill for a long time, forcibly supported his sick body to lie on the dragon couch, and when he heard Wu Zetian say more and more, he coughed and said: "Mei Niang, Xian'er is also confused for a while, besides, he just hides hundreds of armors privately, so forgive him!" ”

Li Zhi's love for Li Xian is even more than that of the dead Li Hong, or the guilt in his heart for Mrs. Han and Helan Minyue's mother and daughter are tormenting him all the time, and Li Xian is made the prince, Li Zhi is very satisfied, just wait for his death, go to the underworld to have an explanation with Mrs. Han's mother and daughter.

Li Xian rebelled, Li Zhi didn't believe it very much, his physical condition was clear inside and outside the palace, how many years could he live? Li Xian is at the age of blood and strength, can't he wait for the past few years?

However, hundreds of pairs of armor dug up in the East Palace Horse Workshop, Ming Chongyan was killed, and Zhao Daosheng issued a prime minister's complaint, which made Li Zhi unable to refute Li Xian's lack of rebellion, and although he was in a dilemma, he still hoped that Li Xian would not be affected by this matter.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhi, who was almost blind, with cold eyes, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you are a son of man, you should kill your relatives with righteousness, and you can't pardon Li Xian's crimes to set an example." ”

Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Li Xian, who was kneeling on the ground and said nothing: "I have already ordered Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan to handle the case of the prince's rebellion, if Li Xian is innocent, he has his own words, if Li Xian can't clear his responsibility, then he should be abolished as a concubine and imprisoned." ”

Li Zhi struggled to sit up, but was held down by Wu Zetian on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, I can't help but give an explanation inside and outside the court, let's wait for the results of Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan's investigation!" ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak, Wu Zetian continued: "All the confiscated armor was burned at Tianjin Bridge, so as to tell the world that Zhang Da'an, Liu Nayan and others, the subordinate officials of the East Palace, could not escape the blame. ”

After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he waved his hand, waited for Qiu Shenji, the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army who was waiting outside the store, and led people in to escort Li Xian and the others out.

Zhao Daosheng was the last to be escorted out, and when he saw Tang Ao standing outside the palace gate in eunuch costumes, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Tang Ao didn't have a chance to talk to Zhao Daosheng, and couldn't understand whether Zhao Daosheng did this to take revenge on Li Xian, but just now when Ming Chongyan was killed, Zhao Daosheng also blamed Li Xian, it seems that he killed Ming Chongyan, except for Xinyue, no one must know.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Xian and the others stood solemnly, Tang Ao knew that the people inside were all Li Zhi's princes, but except for Li Xian and Li Dan, the prime minister who was a little older than Princess Taiping, Tang Ao couldn't name himself.

"The country can't be without a king for a day, and the position of the East Palace can't be vacant, Xian'er, you go back and prepare to prepare, and move to the East Palace in a few days!"

When Li Xian heard Wu Zetian say this, his face did not show the slightest joy, and he stayed in the East Palace, that is, let him take over the position of Li Xian's crown prince, with the ability of his mother Wu Zetian, he could decide in one word, but Li Xian conspired against this matter, Li Xian had reservations, and like Li Zhi, he did not believe that Li Xian would rebel.

But Li Xian didn't dare to argue with Wu Zetian, let alone explain, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb like a stuffy gourd.

Wu Zetian was very satisfied with Li Xian's sluggish reaction, and looked at his youngest son Li Dan, these two are the meat that fell from her body, although Li Xian's real identity is his nephew, after all, he can't be trusted!

After Wu Zetian admonished Li Xian and the others, he sat down beside Li Zhi with a little fatigue and asked Li Xian and the others to go back to rest.

Li Xian walked out of the Taiji Palace, and was blown by the night breeze outside before he felt a layer of sweat on his back, and suddenly felt cold, his body couldn't help shaking, and when he saw Tang Ao outside the door, he nodded and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

Tang Ao was silent all the way like Li Xian, and when he returned to the British Palace, Li Xian immediately called someone to summon the subordinate officials of the palace, and seeing that Tang Ao had the intention of saying goodbye, Li Xian said: "Stay!" ”

Tang Ao can only swallow back the words that come to his mouth, Li Xian said this, which is equivalent to letting him participate in confidential secrets, Tang Ao used to be a scholar that Li Xian liked, so from now on, it is not just a scholar.

Two quarters of an hour later, seven royal officials came to Li Xian's study one after another, Li Xian said that the prince was arrested for rebellion and Ming Chongyan was killed, and the seven royal officials were all surprised, but no one dared to express their opinions and remarks, which disappointed Li Xian.

Li Xian knew that Tang Ao must have heard the words of his mother Wu Zetian, so he turned his head and asked, "Tang Ao, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Tang Ao bowed down and said: "The prince is the third son of the emperor and the queen, the two former princes, one is convicted, no matter whether the East Palace can clear the suspicion of rebellion, he will not be made the prince again in the future, and it is a foregone conclusion that the prince will enter the East Palace." ”

With Tang Ao starting up, Wang Fu Xiu and others opened their mouths one after another, of course, they couldn't openly congratulate Li Xian on his upcoming entry into the East Palace, so that they would have the intention of provoking Li Xian and Li Xian.

But inside and outside the words, they are all happy for Li Xian, after all, the king of England has become the emperor of the Ninety-Five, and they, the old ministers of the hidden palace, will soar!

Li Xian was extremely disappointed in his heart, and just wanted to say something, Tang Ao on the side spoke: "Lord, entering the East Palace at this time is a blessing or a curse, the prince's fault is limited to the private possession of armor, and the emperor loves the prince very much, so there will be no variables." ”

The subordinate officials of the palace almost rolled their eyes collectively, Tang Ao didn't say that just now, with two skins on his mouth, no matter how he said it?

Li Xian knew that Tang Ao's words were not finished, and asked, "Does Tang Ao have a belly case?" This matter is really difficult for this king to do! ”

Tang Ao can understand Li Xian's thoughts, and say that Li Xian does not have the heart to peep into the throne, which is tantamount to staring and talking nonsense, but Li Xian's attitude towards imperial power is very subtle, and he has the mentality of being lucky to gain and losing his life.

The sudden case in the East Palace seems to have given Li Xian a great opportunity, and the throne is within reach, but if the opportunity is not handled well, it will not only arouse disgust and complaints, but also set a bad label on his body.

Tang Ao groaned: "Lord, the queen handed over the case of rebellion in the East Palace to Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan, and the prince might as well visit and intercede for the prince." ”

Li Xian immediately understood Tang Ao's thoughts, procrastinating, as long as the prince's case dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for him, even if he cleared the charge of the crown prince Li Xian's rebellion and lost the opportunity to enter the East Palace, it would be good for him, at least to win Li Xian's brotherhood.

Li Xian nodded appreciatively at Tang Ao: "Without further ado, you go to see Xue Pei and the two adults immediately with this king." ”

"Xue Yuanchao once served as the waiter of the Yellow Gate, the prince of the school, the left concubine, he was generous and polite, Pei Yan is not very easy to get along with."

Li Xian told Tang Ao what he knew about Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan: "The key to this matter is Pei Yan, Pei Yan is a servant, equivalent to the position of prime minister, and it depends on Pei Yan what kind of conclusion the East Palace case will make in the end." ”

Tang Ao looked at Li Xian, whose face was neither happy nor sad, and his heart moved: "Does the prince believe that the prince is rebelling?" ”

Li Xian frowned: "This matter is not whether the king believes it or not, but that some people want to believe it, there is something that the king has never told you, there are rumors in the palace that the prince is not born to the queen mother, but the son of Mrs. Han, of course the king does not believe it, but the empty hole may not be unpopular, and the source of this kind of words is in the Yeting Palace." ”

Tang Ao already knew that Li Xian Bacheng might have been born to Li Zhi and Mrs. Han, and it was useless to tell Li Xian about this fact.

"Lord Wang, what I said just now is very likely to come true, there will be basically no variables when the prince enters the East Palace, but the prince can't give people the handle to tell the truth, and it is best to save the prince's life."

Li Xian thought so, and his first purpose was to save Li Xian, the prince was not very sonable, it was too early to say.

The two of them came to the Provincial Government Hall, where the emperor and the prime minister discussed the decree, and now it looked a little chaotic, with people and shadows, and from time to time there were hurried whispers.

Li Xian and Tang Ao arrived, naturally no one dared to stop them, but no one came out to greet them, and when they walked inside, in addition to Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao, there was also an official named Gao Zhizhou, and the three of them were whispering.
