Chapter 35: Li Xian's Promise
"In fact, my mother did not take the words of the man as a thing at first, although he learned martial arts, but he was a person, but he did not expect that the local officials were tyrannical and tyrannical, and did many illegal acts, so that the people were not able to make a living, that year was the year of the famine, the government not only did not open the warehouse to release grain, but continued to levy taxes, the people starved all over the field, and there was no one in ten, my mother saw that the people were suffering, regardless of their own safety, sneaked into the house of a powerful lord overnight, opened the granary, and distributed it to the people, but unexpectedly, the strong house guarded a lot, and after my mother was captured, Bruised, dead and alive, and later thanks to the rescue of the local people, there was nothing wrong, but since then, my mother remembered the words of the stranger at the beginning, and decided to rebel against the court ****, so that the people can live a happy and happy life. ”
Tong Xiandou ignored Li Xian, who was silent on the side, and continued as if talking to himself: "After that, my mother decided to find that stranger and ask him about the incident. And the man told my mother that if he figured it out one day, he would go to Chang'an to look for him, so my mother just arrived in Chang'an, and then met his uncle in Chang'an, a timber merchant, my mother's uncle was chivalrous and benevolent, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with the lawlessness of the government, and now after seeing my mother, I saw that my mother was strong in martial arts and outstanding in her strategy, and she was very happy in her heart, so she suggested that my mother go to Ganye Temple to become a monk and practice, so as a cover to prepare for trouble, and at the same time, because Ganye Temple is a royal temple, Among them, the bhikshunis are all concubines, and they can take advantage of their dissatisfaction to contact all the heroes from all walks of life to achieve good deeds, and it was at this time that my mother met the shameless evil woman of the Wu clan. ”
After that, Tong Xiandou insulted the Empress Wu again, until there was nothing new to say, and then he continued: "My mother put her heart into the evil woman, told the truth about the incident, and agreed that when my mother got up, she would tell him about it, and ask the evil woman to preside over the affairs of the inner line of the capital, and once the incident was successful in the future, she would share the world equally with the evil woman." Two years later, my mother got into trouble, reported the matter to him according to the agreement, and asked the wicked woman to preside over the inner line in Beijing, but unexpectedly the wicked woman had already won the emperor's favor at this time, and gave birth to the eldest son Li Hong, so she wanted to make meritorious service to be the queen, and even gathered all the inner lines of my mother in Beijing to kill, so that my mother could not do a big thing, and at the same time wrote a letter to my mother, pretending to plot to start an incident, but took the opportunity to arrest my mother and brutally killed, pity my mother so trusted, as a sister, the result was in the hands of this evil woman, this revenge is not avenged, my child fairy bean is a woman in vain. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Xian listened to the other party's words, and he didn't even say a word of comfort, and didn't even echo it, but just sneered: "Hehe, to tell the truth, you don't have to be angry, in fact, my mother is right in this matter, and the fault is in Lingtang's wishful thinking, taking such a big event as a child's play, not only died, but also affected tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers and civilians in a state." ”
"What are you talking about?" Tong Xiandou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately stood up, pointed at Li Xian and said angrily: "Up to now, you are still protecting the evil woman, yes, no matter what, after all, the evil woman is your biological mother, your mother and son are deeply affectionate, and it is reasonable to protect you, only blame me for misidentifying a good person." If you want to make meritorious contributions to me, it's not too late, but I just hope that you will get acquainted with me and let me go. ”
"Hehe, if I really want to capture you and make meritorious contributions, can you stand here and talk eloquently? I didn't mean to protect my mother, but I actually made the hall careless, and I easily trusted others, so I had this calamity, and now you don't reflect on it, and you are still complaining here, which is really not the work of a wise man. It is necessary to know that 'the heart of harming people must not be had, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable', Lingtang is a thief, and his mother is an official, and the two themselves are hostile, so what integrity and morality can there be? Have you read the history books? At the beginning, Song Xianggong and Chu encountered Hongshui, and a big war was inevitable, but Song Xianggong was strict about etiquette, lost many fighters, and finally fell, no one praised his virtues, but they all laughed in shame. ”
Li Xian ignored Tong Xiandou with a shocked face, then sighed, and said solemnly: "I admire Lingtang as a heroine, but this does not mean that she can succeed in politics, just like Xiang Yu in the past, a hero, who values love and righteousness, but in the end he could not defeat the despicable and obscene Han Gaozu, because he did not know the art of the emperor, so his failure was inevitable." Therefore, I hope that all the grudges will be blamed on others, and you will say, that is, there is no mother who comes out to tell the whistle, so that the hall can kill me in one fell swoop? ”
"What do you want?" Tong Xiandou was hit by the other party's words in the deepest part of his heart, and suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning, and couldn't help but hesitate, so he had to ask Li Xian.
I saw Li Xian slowly shaking his head, and suddenly asked, "Why did Ling Tang get angry in the past?" ”
"It's just because corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are struggling to make a living."
"In this case, why don't you inherit the will of Lingtang, eradicate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, protect the country and the people, and return the people of the world to a peaceful world?" Is Li Xian's tirade of persuasion nonsense? Of course not, this last sentence is his ultimate goal, but he has worked hard for this sentence, and now he feels extremely happy to say this sentence.
But Tong Xiandou was deeply shocked by this sentence, because what Li Xian said was very different from her usual philosophy, and even the opposite was not an exaggeration.
"I have a grudge against Li Tang for killing my mother, how can I be loyal to him?" Tong Xiandou felt that he couldn't accept it, and finally refused.
"Hehe, the enemy who killed your mother with you is not my Datang, but a few corrupt officials, if there are no such corrupt officials, Ling Tang is still willing to risk the crime of killing his head and start an incident? If there are no more corrupt officials in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy peace together, who is willing to kill officials and rebel? Li Xian listened to Tong Xiandou's words, but he was not in a hurry, but just persuaded with a faint smile.
But unexpectedly, Tong Xiandou said: "I believe in the emperor and others, and it is not impossible for me to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but this emperor needs to do it with his feet, in other words, I am only loyal to the Tang Dynasty under my feet, and not loyal to the Tang Dynasty of others. ”
"Well, this, the throne is determined by His Majesty, how can I be greedy? But I promise you that I will never let this world fall into the hands of the deaf and cruel people, if the world really unfortunately falls into the hands of the deaf and cruel people, a certain rebel will definitely rebel and kill the court, so that this program will be revitalized, and the world will be safe. ”
Li Xian knew that at this time, he must tell the truth, otherwise, this restless female assassin would definitely find a way to leave, and when the time came, he would definitely cause endless trouble for himself.
"That being the case, that's fine, from now on, so-and-so will only be loyal to one person, and please arrange a place for one-and-so to stand on him." Tong Xiandou was not polite, and directly asked Li Xian to organize his residence.
Since Li Xian had already planned, he had a plan in his chest, and said almost without hesitation: "From now on, this house will be owned by the foot, and a certain person will be arranged to teach the advanced martial arts of the foot, and send disciples for the foot, who will personally teach martial arts, and form a place dedicated to assassinating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, called", Li Xian suddenly thought of a killer organization in the TV series in later generations, and immediately decided to name it after it, so he said: "Snake Spirit." ”
"And the identity of your sisters cannot be revealed, and from then on you will have to change your name, Tong Xian Dou, Tong Xian Dou, Huh? It's better to do this, your name will be reversed, and it will be changed to Dou Xiantong, how about it? Li Xian naturally thought of a legendary name based on this name, so he had an idea and immediately took the name for Tong Xiandou.
"Dou Xiantong? It's just the reverse of the name of a certain one, but it sounds even better, not to mention the folklore family mother soldier into an immortal, then I am called a fairy child is also well deserved, even so, that certain will be changed to Dou Xiantong in the future, as for the transformation of a certain identity, it is natural to please please rely on this dignified prince. By the way, what will my girl's name change in the future? Hehe, don't bother the two masters, it's better to give a good name at the first step. Dou Xiantong was even more invisible to Li Xian now, and said with a smile directly.
"Sister Ling? Since it's called Lin'er, it should be surnamed Lin, and as for the name, let's name Xian'er, okay? ”
"Xian'er? Lin Xian'er? Good name, then it's decided. Dou Xiantong naturally didn't know that Li Xiantu was saving trouble, and even named the heroine of a later novel directly for his sister, but he was very happy to hear this name.
"Hehe, after solving the matter of you, I should also go to the palace to ask for peace, after such a fuss, I have been missing for three days, I really don't know what kind of chickens and dogs will jump in the palace?" Li Xian saw that the matter was settled, and his heart naturally let go completely, and after saying goodbye to Dou Xiantong and Lin Xian'er sisters, he immediately left the house by night, and then went to the palace.
And at this time, in the Penglai Palace, the Bird Clan, as Li Xian imagined, was a piece of chickens and dogs.
Empress Wu, who was full of iron, and Gaozong, who rushed to the ground after hearing the news, looked at Qiu Shenji, who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and they were all silent.
But the more silent he was, the more frightened Qiu Shenji became, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Empress, are all incompetent generals, and even let the thief escape, and Qilang's whereabouts are unknown......"
"Do you still have the face to say? The palace trusts you so much that she handed over the important task of the camp to Xian'er, and she also patted her chest and assured the palace that she would be able to save Xian'er, but what is happening now? This palace can warn you, if Xian'er has three long and two short, this palace will sacrifice my son with your dog's head. ”
After all, Empress Wu is a woman, and now she is like a mad lion, roaring at the trembling Qiu Shenji: "Why don't you go and search for my son's whereabouts quickly, why are you still stunned here?" Isn't it going to die? ”
"No, No, the last general will go to find King Zhou, and the last general will retire." Qiu Shenji ignored the cold sweat on his head, looked at Gaozong and Empress Wu, then stood up and hurried away.
"Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine is sorry for Xian'er, it's all the concubine's fault, please kill the concubine." Empress Wu burst into tears, knelt down in front of Gaozong, and said in a choked voice.
Gaozong was also full of tears, gently helped Empress Wu, and said with tears: "How can you blame Mei Niang for this?" It's all to blame on the assassin who deserves to be killed. Alas, Xian'er is a good boy, he gave up his life to protect Mei Niang's safety, so filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, it is really a model for eternity, Mei Niang rest assured, no matter how much I pay, I have to find Xian'er, if Xian'er really has three long and two short, I will decree that I will be buried with the emperor's gift......"
"Nonsense, my son is blessed with great life and great creation, how can there be three long and two short?" When Empress Wu heard this, she was immediately furious, and pointed at Gaozong and scolded.
Gaozong didn't dare to fight back, so he was careful to accompany him.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Wang Fusheng, the chief of the chamberlain, running over, and shouted out of breath: "Your Majesty ......."
"Panic? Say it well. Gaozong's stomach was angry and there was no place to spill, and when he saw that this Wang Fusheng happened to bump into him, he didn't have a good face, and said angrily.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, good news, King Zhou is asking to see him outside the palace."
