Wang Fusheng did not have the slightest fear because of Gaozong's anger, because he knew what Gaozong cared about most at this time, and the news he reported this time was what Gaozong cared about the most, so even if it was a little rude, Gaozong would definitely not care about it.

"Are you serious?" Sure enough, seeing that Gaozong's face immediately turned from anger to joy, and he asked with a look of ecstasy.

"It's true, King Zhou is waiting outside the palace, and the old slave will never be wrong about this." Wang Fusheng knew it in his heart, so he naturally didn't panic, and explained with a smile.

"I'm still stunned, and I'll announce it quickly." The Empress Wu on the side saw the opportunity very quickly, she saw that Gaozong was stunned, she couldn't help but feel impatient, and hurriedly gave an order.

And Wang Fusheng seemed to have long been accustomed to this practice of Empress Wu, so he hurriedly agreed with a smile, and then hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, shouting loudly to announce the arrival of King Zhou.

"Children see fathers and mothers." Li Xian saw Gaozong and Empress Wu, and his face showed a smile like the aftermath of the catastrophe, but his voice was a little choked, of course, all this was designed by a master who was good at disguise.

And Gaozong and Empress Wu naturally didn't know that they had fallen into the calculation of their own son, and said that Li Xian was so scared because of excessive fear, so they naturally couldn't help but love each other, and hurriedly rushed forward and took turns to comfort them.

"Xian'er, you are finally back, you don't know, how worried your mother is these days, and her father is also so sad that she can't eat, and she can't sleep, let your father see, have you lost weight these days?"

"Xian'er, Hugh listened to His Majesty's nonsense, he was worried that you were not fake, and I did not object to the unpleasant food, as for the sleeping table, hehe, he was entangled with my sister in the palace last night, and he was carried away."

It was at this time that Empress Wu did not forget to sarcastically mock Gaozong, and Gaozong, who said directly, was flushed with red face, and said incoherently: "Mei Niang, it's not what you imagined, it's just that Sister Ah saw that I was worried about Xian'er, helped me massage, and comforted me with two sentences, it's really like this, Xian'er, don't listen to your mother's nonsense......"

"Hmph, is it what the concubine thinks, Your Majesty knows in your heart." Empress Wu snorted, then ignored the sneering Gaozong, then took Li Xian's hand, sat aside and asked, "Xian'er, my son, where have you been these days?" Suffered a lot of sins, didn't you? If you don't come back, you'll have to cut off the head of the dog of the gods. ”

Empress Wu said while crying, she did look like a sincere mother, but Li Xian heard the other party's words and had a trace of doubt that he could return safely, and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

However, Li Xian had already thought about his "disappearance" in the past few days, so he was not nervous, so he said: "Back to my mother's words, the child was taken away by the thief, and I was really scared in my heart, thinking that I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to see my father and mother again." Unexpectedly, after a night of fighting, the thief was also not lightly injured, and then after a bump on the horse, he was a little overwhelmed, but the thief was very brave, and after dismounting, he killed the mount, and skinned the fur to prevent others from recognizing it, and then he took the child hostage, jumped over the wall of the workshop, and took the child to an empty house in Jishanfang, and tied the child's hands, locked it in the firewood room, and never forgot to deliver food. But a day later, no one brought food, the child was so hungry that he panicked, but he didn't know how to escape, at this moment, General Lin Cheng of the Children's Mansion led the guards to arrive and rescue the child. At this time, the guards searched all over the house, and the thief was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, otherwise, if we stay for another day or two, the child will starve to death......"

After finishing speaking, Li Xian was also "afraid", and fell into the arms of the Empress Wu and cried, and he couldn't talk anymore for a while.

When Empress Wu heard this, she burst into tears, and hurriedly comforted Li Xiandao: "Xian'er don't worry, what is the appearance of the thief?" When the thief is caught in the next day, Ah Niang will definitely put the thief to death in order to vent her anger for Xian'er. ”

"But the child did not know what the man looked like, alas, it was very dark in the wood-room, and the thief still brought food to the child at night, but the child could hear that the thief was a young woman."

"It's okay, Skynet is restored but not leaky, Wei Niang believes that the thief will be caught after all, and at that time, Wei Niang will definitely be angry for you. Wu'er was frightened by this, thinking that he was tired, let's go back to the house to rest first, and I don't need to go into the palace to say hello tonight, and it is not too late to come back tomorrow morning when I have recuperated enough. After listening to Li Xian's reply, Empress Wu actually felt quite sorry in her heart, because after all, the thief had escaped, and if he came back in a day, wouldn't it be his own trouble.

After Li Xian left, Empress Wu knelt down in front of Gaozong and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine will die." ”

I saw that Gaozong hurriedly helped Empress Wu up, and asked in shock: "How can Zitong say such things?" ”

Empress Wu slowly stood up, and then cried: "A huge deep palace, the concubines thought that it must be impregnable, so they never worried about safety, but I didn't expect that three days ago, there were thieves who mixed into the palace, plotted to assassinate the concubines, and robbed Xian'er, which shows that the guards in my Tang Palace are negligent, and the lives of the concubines and other concubines are in the hands of such high-rollers, and they are desirable at any time, and it is a shame for my royal family, if Your Majesty pities the lives of my mother and son, I also ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of the thieves' comrades, and strengthen the palace guards, if Your Majesty dislikes my mother and son, There is no need for the thief to do it, the concubine and the four children will do it themselves and die in the palace. ”

Gaozong was really furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the Qianniuwei general Wang Jishan, the general of the Zuojian Gate Li Jinxing and others to be fined for one year, and ordered them to immediately strengthen the palace guards.

So the palace soon jumped up, dozens of maids were killed by the rod, the guards in the palace were more strict, even during the day were sent more manpower, at night in addition to the sentry and fixed posts, and added hidden piles, the whole palace was arranged like a copper wall, even a fly could not fly.

And the only good thing about this matter for Li Xian was that because he had cleared out a large number of palace maids who neglected their duties and colluded with outsiders, a large number of people suddenly became vacant in this palace, so he used his connections to send some of his palace attendants and secretly cultivated Silla maids into the palace, although these people were only some of the lowest servants at this time, but they provided great convenience for him to pass on the news in the future.

The next day, when Li Xian came to the palace to greet Empress Gaozong, he saw Gaozong holding his hand and said with a smile: "After this day's rest, my spirit has recovered well, well, it is not a loss to Xian'er Ru who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his physique is indeed good." Let's go, go to the court with me today, this time I have appointed you, hehe, it is said that you have just escaped, you should rest and rest, but you are not young, you should share the worries for the monarch's father, so I did not have your consent, directly discussed with the prime ministers, and gave you a position, hoping that my son will not live up to the expectations of being a father. Of course, you are very young, in fact, you don't have to stay there all the year round, it is enough to go to inspect once or twice a year, and the local military and political affairs are handled by Changshi, Sima and others. ”

Gaozong's meaning has been made very clear, in fact, although Li Xian has actual power, if he is not willing to take care of it, he just needs to live a free life in the capital.

However, Li Xian obviously didn't think so, although he didn't know where he was appointed, but he still decided to try his best to seize the power after he arrived, of course, he also knew that this was not realistic at all, if he was so young and so obsessed with power, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of President Gao and Empress Wu, so he still decided that he must use his few inspections in the future to strengthen his influence among local officials and people.

"Thank you father for your love." Li Xian kowtowed to Gaozong, and then followed Gaozong to the court.

At the court meeting, Li Xian learned that this time Gaozong had made a major adjustment to the appointment of all states and governors in the world, and for Li Xian's brothers, they were mainly appointed as governors of various states: "Change Wei Prefecture to Jizhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, and change Jizhou to Wei Prefecture." The four prefectures of Merge, Yang, Jing and Yi were upgraded to the governors of Dadu. With Li Xian's second brother and Peiwang Li Xian as the governor of Yangzhou, Li Xian's fourth brother, Yin Wang Xulun, who was only a few months old, also led the governor of Jizhou, and Li Xian was appointed as the governor of Jizhou. ”

Li Xian learned from the court meeting that the Tang Dynasty's Governor's Mansion was divided into upper, middle and lower levels, of which the upper class was the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which governed the territory of ten states, including Ze, Lu, Fen, Yi, Lan, Xin, Dai, Shuo, Wei and other states, although Li Xian didn't know how big the territory of these ten states was, but he knew in his heart that at least half of Shanxi Province should be included in later generations, and the entire state was the foundation of Gaozu Taizong's start, and it was also the location of Empress Wu's maiden home, and it was also the place where Gaozong and Li Ji served that year. Gaozong and Empress Wu handed over such a heavy place to Li Xian, and the trust and favor in it can be seen.

Therefore, don't say that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are envious, even Li Xian's second brother and Pei Wang Li Xian are also full of jealousy, but Li Xian is quite favored by his parents, but Li Xian has always been untreated by the martial arts, so although he was jealous in his heart, Li Xian had nothing to do, so he had to pinch his nose and accept the will.

"This guy is really going to greet him, hum, but so what? The prince's brother is not in good health, and he can't tell when he will return to the west with his life, and then the position of the prince will not be my Li Xian's? As long as I become the crown prince, I will be the prince, and once I ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, you will not let me knead it? Then you knew that it was useless to rely on the favor of your parents. Li Xian thought that he would one day be able to be the emperor and insult Li Xian at will, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
