Chapter 56: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots (2)

"Well, auntie, you've finally understood." Hearing that Wu Shun opened his mouth to scold, Li Xian was not angry but happy, and quickly came to Wu Shun, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't I know this little trick? Deliberately getting angry at Xian'er in order to get my attention? It's just that Xian'er is so innocent? As an elder brother, you don't know how to unite your siblings, but you are so unreasonable, and you are not ashamed? Wu Shun gently poked Li Xian's head with his finger, and taught Li Xian a gentle tone, as if he was educating his own son.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not only for Li Xian and Wu Shun, but also for Empress Wu. Wu Shun loves Li Xian too much and treats him as his own, and Li Xian also treats Wu Shun as his own mother, so he will definitely be used by people with intentions to create rumors, which is not conducive to Li Xian's low position. And Empress Wu was originally her biological mother, but she lacked maternal love for her parents and children, which led to the deepening estrangement between mother and son, and they became farther and farther away from each other, which not only violated human nature, but also laid hidden dangers for future tragedies.

However, Li Xian did not say all this, because he was intimate, and with Li Xian's current embarrassing position, he could not persuade anyone. Wu Shun is because his son He Lan Minzhi has been with his old mother Mrs. Rongguo all the year round, and gradually regards Li Xian as his own son, and now that his daughter is dead, I am afraid that he will be more dependent in the future, although he is kind to remind him, but he may also cause harm to Wu Shun, thus depriving him of the only spiritual pillar in this world. As for Li Xian, because Li Xian himself has a good impression of him, and he knows his fate, he didn't think about provoking him at all, plus the relationship between brothers is already tense, and it is useless to persuade him, so it is better not to persuade him.

And on the side of Empress Wu, naturally there is no room for beak, otherwise it may cause Empress Wu to be alert to him, so although Li Xian knew that Wu Shun Fangcai's words were actually intentionally said in order to protect Li Xian, he didn't say anything, just was silent for a moment, and then said: "The saint was shocked to hear that the aunt was looking for a short view, and he fainted in shock, fortunately, now that the aunt is in good health, the saint will be happy to see it, and the nephew believes that his illness is also very beneficial, right?" ”

"What do you mean? The Holy One fainted? Wu Shun couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news, and then immediately understood all this, because only she knew how important her mother and daughter were to Gaozong, first of all, Helan Minyue's death was not a light blow to Gaozong, if you heard that she was also dead, with Gaozong's weak and amorous temperament, it would be strange not to faint.

Therefore, thinking of this, Wu Shun couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly struggled to get up from the couch, changed his clothes, dressed up carefully, and then forced a smile, and followed Li Xian and Li Xian to Gaozong's palace to persuade Gaozong to help Gaozong alleviate his condition.

After a while, the dressed Wushun appeared in front of Mr. Gao, and at this time, after Qin Minghe's treatment, Gaozong had woken up, but his mood was still very low, and he looked at the top of the hall blankly, and did not say a word for a long time.

Seeing that the man she admired was such a pitiful look, Wu Shun almost burst into tears, but she also knew that now was not the time to cry, so she reluctantly squeezed out a smile, gently came to Gaozong's bed, and shouted softly: "Is Your Majesty okay?" Concubine Wu Shun paid a visit. ”

"Huh? What do you say? Hearing the word "Wu Shun", Gao Zong hurriedly turned his head and saw Wu Shun, who was barely squeezing out a smile, looking at him with tears in his eyes, and immediately held Wu Shun's hand, and said with tears: "Okay, good, good, I didn't expect me to come to Yinsi, but I can be reunited with you, and if I die, I will die, there is nothing to regret." ”

Wu Shun heard Gaozong say such words, a pair of eyes could no longer stop gushing out, and he cried and said: "The concubine can be treated so favorably by His Majesty, and there is really no regret in death, but the concubine told His Majesty a good news, His Majesty is still alive, and the concubine is still alive, and the concubine is lucky to be pulled back from the hands of death by the palace people, and picked up a life, so that she can see Your Majesty again. The world is very fortunate, the prince is very fortunate, and the concubines are also very fortunate. ”

Who is Gojong? Immediately heard the affection in Wu Shun's words, and his heart couldn't help but perk, and immediately said: "Eldest sister, rest assured, I will definitely take care of my body, for my Tang Dynasty and for you." Mrs. Han newly lost her beloved daughter, but regardless of her grief, came to comfort me, her heart is commendable, I am determined to reward thousands of silk horses, thousands of money, I am tired, wait and retreat first. ”

"No." Empress Wu, sisters Wushun, brothers Li Hong and Li Xian, as well as the doctor Qin Minghe and others immediately agreed and bowed and retreated.

And when everyone saw that they were about to retreat to the door, they suddenly heard Gaozong say: "Mrs. Han will stay first and discuss the matter behind Mrs. Wei." ”

Li Xian silently glanced at Gaozong and Mrs. Han, as everyone quietly left, he naturally knew what Gaozong was going to discuss with Mrs. Han tonight, it was nothing more than two suffering mandarin ducks comforting each other, but it was precisely because of this that his heart was even more worried, in fact, thinking about it, in the middle of the night, Gaozong actually left his wife and sister alone to discuss things, and even drove away the Empress Wu, who was tired of it, anyone can guess it, and Empress Wu, who was the creator of the tragedy before, how could he tolerate this? Therefore, he dared to believe that it would not be long before even Mrs. Korea would die.

However, he has no way to deal with this, to use what he said in his later life, that is, if you don't die, you won't die, and the blatant actions of Gojong and Mrs. Han will definitely bring disaster to him. And what Li Xian has to do is to try his best to delay the time when Mrs. Han suffers a tragedy, so as not to be stimulated by Gaozong and his condition deteriorates.

Three days later, after Yousi's trial, with the personal intervention of Gaozong, the results of the treatment of Wu's children came out: Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were punished for the crime of treason and beheaded. Among the sons and daughters of the Wu family, Wu Youyi, Wu Youxu, the sons of Wu Weiliang, Wu Yougui, Wu Youwang, the sons of Wu Huaiyun, were beheaded, and the others were exiled to Zhenzhou, and at the same time Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong, Wu Chonggui, Wu Zaide, Wu Youning, Wu Youji, Wu Youzhi and other people were given the surname, and the surname was given, and all their family members were not enslaved in the Yeting Palace. He Lanminzhi, the son of Mrs. Wushun of South Korea, changed his surname to Wu and inherited the title of his maternal grandfather Zhou Guogong.

Early in the morning of the second day after the verdict was announced, with the executioner's loud shouts, I saw the heads of Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun, Wu Youyi, Wu Youxu, Wu Yougui, Wu Youwang and others falling to the ground one after another.

At the same time that Wu Weiliang's father and son and Wu Huaiyun's father and son were executed, the rest of the Wu family's children were also collectively escorted to Zhenzhou. And on the way to the exile, these Wu clan disciples were wiped out.

"How's it going?" In a secret room in Li Xianxing's palace, Li Xian said to a woman in a black night suit.

"Hehe, I'm not at ease doing things? On the way to Zhenzhou, the children of the Wu family suddenly encountered a group of bandits one day, and as a result, not only the team was sacked, but Wu Chonggui, Wu Zaide, and Wu Youning were also killed by thieves. Later, Wu Sizong and Wu Youzhi committed suicide because they were humiliated by being escorted and served. However, there is one thing that needs to be explained to you in advance, before I caught up with that team, Wu Yizong and Wu Youji had already disappeared, and it was said that they fled together, and I sent people to search around, and it took several days of hard work, but there was still no result. ”

In this world, there is only one woman who can speak with Li Xian in this tone, and also do things for Li Xian, and that is Dou Xiantong.

"Huh? Wu Yizong is okay, this Wu Youji is a henchman, but this can't be blamed on you, it's just that, it can only be like this now, and the next two can only be secretly visited. Li Xian thought for a while, and said solemnly to Dou Xiantong: "I still have an important matter to explain to you, there are still two of the Wu clan's disciples who need to be dealt with urgently, and they must be killed to make me feel at ease, these two thieves are Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei, that is, the people who made enemies with me in Nanshi that day." ”

"Hmph, I only care about corrupt officials and corrupt officials, killing these thieves for you today is already an exception, if it weren't for watching you send my sister to Jingzhao Wei's mansion as a maid and solve the problem of birth, even this favor will not help. Now that the favor has been repaid, how can you still wait for a personal vendetta? Dou Xiantong looked displeased, and said coldly.

But seeing Li Xian, he sighed and said leisurely: "First of all, these people are all members of that person's mother's family, and they have a great hatred with you, and I want to find a way to make you take revenge, isn't it for your sake?" Besides, although these thieves are not showing their evil deeds now, they will become the minions of the military queen in the future, and then they will poison the world, lest it be too late to regret it. ”

"Hmph, how do you know everything? Okay, I'll help you run this trip, anyway, it's your reason. Dou Xiantong snorted coldly, and no longer cared about Li Xian, and then immediately turned his body and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Seeing Dou Xiantong coming in the dust, and leaving again without resting for a moment, Li Xian suddenly felt an inexplicable distress, and suddenly said to stay.

"What's the matter?" Dou Xiantong didn't understand Li Xian's mood, and asked impatiently.

"Uh, hehe, you don't have to worry, why not rest for the night and then go? What's more, you haven't seen Sister Ling for more than half a year, why don't I arrange for you to meet Sister Ling? ”

"Hmph, it's kind of a conscience." Dou Xiantong forcibly endured the emotion of Li Xian taking such careful care of himself, and held back the tears he wanted to shed, turned around, and stood beside Li Xian with a smile.

At the same time that Li Xian and Dou Xiantong were plotting to kill Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi in the secret room, Empress Wu was also contemplative in the palace, and in front of her, there was also a secret report, and the content of the secret report was exactly the same as what Dou Xiantong said to Li Xian.

"The reasons for encountering thieves and being mistreated by guards are too far-fetched, this time in prison, my Wu clan disciples actually died, it seems that someone deliberately did it, and I will secretly visit, I will definitely dig out the mastermind behind the scenes." Empress Wu looked at a man in a black night robe in front of her, thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, since the thief wants to destroy my Wu family's disciples, the two rebels of Cheng Hei and Sansi will definitely not let go, and then secretly transfer the second rebel to another place, and then arrange the manpower in the hiding place of the second rebel, capture the thief, and then dig out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"No." I saw that the man in black answered, bowed his hand to the martial queen, withdrew from the palace, and then disappeared into the night.
