When Li Xian heard Gaozong's anger, he didn't panic in his heart, and slowly came to Gaozong without saying a word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmph, now you don't have anything to say, do you?" Gaozong's face was already pale, and he said in a deep voice to Li Xian: "Since you have nothing to say, can I condemn you?" ”

Seeing this, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and then looked at Gaozong and said slowly: "Father, if the son says that he is wronged, I don't know if the father and the emperor believe the son?" ”

But seeing that Empress Wu said coldly: "The evidence is right in front of you, how can you say that you have been wronged?" Prince, it's all at this time, do you still think your quibbles are useful? ”

Li Xianyan sneered when he heard this, and just wanted to speak, but he heard Gaozong say loudly: "I believe, as long as you say it, I will believe it, but you have to find evidence to prove your wrongs, otherwise even if I want to help, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Empress Wu glanced at Gaozong in surprise, she didn't expect that at this time, Gaozong would still believe Li Xian, but Empress Wu thought that Li Xian would not find any evidence, so she also nodded and said: "That's right, as long as you can find evidence, your mother will also believe you, and promise to bring the person who framed you to justice." ”

Li Xian naturally knew that what Empress Wu said was insincere, but he still said solemnly: "Erchen thank you for the trust of my father and mother, and Erchen will definitely find evidence." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian held a torch and gently came to the cellar, then grabbed a handful of soil that had been shoveled out with his hand, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly said: "Father, mother, come and see, there is something wrong with this soil!" ”

"Huh? What's wrong with this soil? Gaozong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, among these people, he didn't want Li Xian to rebel the most, after all, this was his son in front of him, and it was also the son he liked the most, if even Li Xian was gone, with his cowardly young son Li Dan, how could he keep the Tang Dynasty?

However, Empress Wu smiled coldly, slowly stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and then asked, "I don't know what's wrong with this soil?" Prince, aren't you using this to coax people? ”

Li Xian said lightly: "Father doesn't know, this soil is a new soil, it has just been turned, and the time since it was last turned is no more than an hour, that is to say, this cellar was not there before an hour, but it was only dug up within this hour, and the soapnail was buried here, and as far as the minister knows, even the time when Dr. Yuan received the secret letter was an hour ago." ”

"What, what? Xian'er, you're saying that someone deliberately went to tell you with this secret letter, and then someone came to your back garden, dug up a cellar here, and put the soapnails there? Gaozong was shocked when he heard this, and then asked in a deep voice.

saw Xue Yuanchao step forward and said, "Does this look a little ridiculous?" Prince, it's just a twist of earth, how can I not see that it was excavated an hour ago? When you use such words, are you trying to coax a three-year-old child? ”

"Hmph, coaxing a three-year-old? Could it be Xue Xiang, who are you? Don't raise your intelligence, you're not even as good as a three-year-old! Li Xian sneered for a while, and then said: "This world is so big, there are no surprises, and a lot of knowledge is not something you can understand. In this way, we can casually invite the craftsman who is responsible for the soil lifting from the Ministry of Industry, or the master of Qin Tianjian who knows how to make public opinion, and we will know at a glance that at that time, I want you to understand whether I am deceiving people or not. ”

"You, huh!" Xue Yuanchao originally wanted to sarcastically mock Li Xian, but he didn't expect to be sarcastically beaten by Li Xian, his old face suddenly turned red, and then he said loudly: "In this case, then order someone to go to the Ministry of Industry and call a craftsman who repairs the tomb for His Majesty to see if this is the case?" Hehe, I really want to know if there is any basis for what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said today? ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Yuanchao looked at Gaozong again, hoping that Gaozong could issue an order to summon such a craftsman to come.

Gaozong naturally had no objections, and immediately said to Cheng Lishi: "Cheng Lishi, you personally go to the Ministry of Industry and summon the craftsmen who are most familiar with identifying the soil quality there, but I want to see if what the prince said is true?" ”

"Yes, the old slave will go now, please rest assured Your Majesty." Cheng Lishi saluted to Gaozong, and then personally led more than ten hundred cavalry soldiers to the Ministry of Works, the meaning of which was also obvious, and it was clear that it was to prevent someone from assassinating the craftsmen he found.

When Empress Wu saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart: "Could it be that this kid is really familiar with distinguishing the soil quality?" If I can really do what he said, my plan this time will really be in vain. ”

However, at this time, Empress Wu couldn't leave, not even give an order, she could only be secretly anxious in her heart, because Gao Zong was following her closely, and if she made any moves, she would definitely not be able to escape everyone's eyes.

But at this moment, she suddenly saw that not far from her, the henchman Qiu Shenji suddenly left, and when he left, he secretly handed her a look.

Empress Wu suddenly felt like she had taken a reassuring pill, because she knew that Qiu Shenji must have found a way to assassinate those craftsmen, as long as those craftsmen died, who could help Li Xian prove his previous inference?

"Hehe, you kid, you don't know the means of this palace, do you? There are many means in this palace, and this time it will definitely disappoint you, and this palace will not even give you the slightest chance. Empress Wu looked proud, glanced at Li Xian, and thought silently.

Half an hour later, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then I saw Cheng Lishi come closer, and then said to Gaozong: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen have been invited, but it's just ......"

"Just what? Could it be that something happened? Hearing this, Empress Wu secretly sneered in her heart, but her gaze at Cheng Lishi was a little unkind.

I only heard Cheng Lishi smile faintly, and said respectfully to the martial queen: "It was a little accident, but it was not a big deal, some eyeless miscellaneous people wanted to assassinate these craftsmen, and we killed more than ten people on the spot, captured one, and more than twenty people were injured and escaped......"

"What? Qiu Shenji, this guy is such a waste! The other party was only a dozen hundred horsemen, and it sounded like they had dispatched nearly forty people, but not only did they not succeed, but they were also killed by more than a dozen! The most hateful thing is that there is still a living mouth in their hands, if this is interrogated, once they can't stand the torture and summon everything, wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable? Thinking of this, Empress Wu's face changed, and the uneasiness in her heart just became stronger. (To be continued.) )
