Chapter 385: Forbearance for the time being
"Edict? Hmph, Pei Yan, the old man, must have done something in the edict, and even the entire edict was forged by Pei Yan's old man! Li Xian sneered in his heart, but at this time, he didn't have a seizure, because he had to get conclusive evidence to fight back, not to mention that now Empress Wu and Pei Yan had already arranged everything, and he was now trapped, if he dared to resist, what awaited him would be a very tragic ending.

He even expected that Empress Wu and Pei Yan at this time would have jumped out to oppose it, and then used the excuse to get rid of themselves.
Therefore, Li Xian just knelt on the ground silently and listened to the emperor's "edict." ”
I saw Pei Yan also knelt on the ground silently, and said loudly: "Emperor Daxing's edict, the funeral will be held in seven days, and the crown prince will be in front of the coffin." The garden system is based on frugality. With Pei Yan as the minister of care, he assisted the new emperor in handling government affairs, and if there was an indecision on military affairs, he would be punished by the queen of heaven. ”
After Pei Yan finished speaking, he saluted Li Xian and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the edict of Emperor Daxing and the rules of our dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not issue an order to declare the edict before he is officially enthroned as the emperor, so Weichen suggested that the order of the Queen of Heaven should be implemented in Menxia Province for the time being, after all, after the death of Emperor Daxing, many matters are complicated, and if you are not careful, it will cause great trouble. ”
But seeing the general next to Li Xian, Gao Sheji asked: "Dare to ask Pei Xiang, when was this a rule?" Why didn't Xia Guan hear that Emperor Daxing had such a rule back then? When Emperor Taizongwen was in the past, it seemed that there were no such rules, right? ”
Pei Yan sneered when he heard this: "Emperor Taizong was Emperor Gaozu Zen throne, and he was canonized as the emperor as soon as he ascended the throne, so he naturally had to deal with political affairs directly, Emperor Daxing was on the throne when he was on the throne, and it was also because of the early death of the Empress Dowager Wende, and no one could replace the emperor to carry out the power, even so, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the political affairs were also in the hands of the eldest grandson Taiwei, hehe, General Gao is a Goryeo, I don't know the secrets of my dynasty, and I am not to blame for this matter, but His Royal Highness the Prince understands people. ”
"You, you're a strong word......"
"Okay, Sheji, Pei Xiang is also reasonable, since this is the case, then before I am officially canonized, the political affairs will be handled by the queen mother, but I think, with Pei Xiang's wisdom, I should also know the rules of my Tang Dynasty, I believe that it will not be long before I will ascend the throne in front of my father's spirit, and at that time, I believe that the queen mother will also follow my father's edict and return the power to the palace, right?"
Li Xian gently comforted Gao Sheji, and then looked at Pei Yan and Empress Wu respectively.
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Empress Wu said silently, waved his hand without a trace, and saw dozens of masters of the Jasa Temple hidden behind the hall quietly retreating, and then said lightly: "Since Pei Aiqing and Xian'er both think so, then this government will be in charge of me for the time being, and after the expiration of the mourning period of Emperor Daxing, the palace will definitely hand over the power to Xian'er." ”
With a hint of pride on her face, Empress Wu glanced at Li Xian with great meaning, and then sent a decree to Liu Yizhi, Liu Jingxian, Fan Lubing, Miao Shenke and others to meet and discuss matters related to the funeral of Emperor Daxing.
At the same time, Empress Wu ordered Li Xian to cry in the Zhenguan Palace, and she took Pei Yan and others to leave quickly.
Just after Empress Wu left, Gao Sheji came to Li Xian and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan obviously want to empty your power and make you a puppet emperor, but why do you still agree?" ”
Li Xian smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said: "First of all, the other party has an edict in his hand and occupies the righteousness, and now my father's body is not cold, if I openly disobey the order, I will be confirmed in the name of unfilial piety, and besides, you should also see that the other party is hiding a master behind the palace, if I don't obey, I will definitely be besieged by the other party, so I can't say that it is the emperor, even my life can not be saved, so we can only endure it at present, but I believe we will not take long." ”
"Oh? Could it be that His Highness already has a countermeasure? Gao Sheji's eyes flashed with hope, and he asked softly at Gao Zong.
But seeing that Li Xian nodded, he said slowly: "Sheji, you are busy with one thing for me, hold my hand and immediately contact these people in the palace with my hand, closely follow the few imperial doctors in the palace, be sure to save their lives, and then take the opportunity to arrest them, interrogate the situation of my father and emperor in the past few days, and try not to arouse the suspicion of my queen mother during this period, and also, you immediately notify Xiantong and let her use the personnel of Infernal Affairs to immediately conduct a secret visit to Guanglu Temple, and you must find out that I made cakes for my father a few days ago. Remember, the giver of bread is to do all this in secret, and it is best not to alarm the queen mother, and if it is really unavoidable, to keep the certification at all costs. ”
While speaking, Li Xian handed Gao Sheji a piece of brocade silk and asked him to leave quietly taking advantage of the chaos of the ministers' mourning.
Gao Sheji couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the brocade, because he didn't see what Li Xian wrote, but he quickly reflected it, it was obvious that Li Xian's feelings had changed, and he had prepared in advance, so he couldn't help but admire in his heart and immediately took action.
Gao Sheji had just gone out of the palace not far away, and suddenly saw a chamberlain coming over, quietly stuffed a piece of paper into his hand, and asked him to hand it over to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Although the payment was not written, Gao Sheji could also see from this handwriting that the person who wrote this note should have been written by Yao Chong, who was relied on as a think tank, and at this time, Gao Sheji's heart suddenly rose with a deep sense of admiration.
Because he found that in such a complex environment, Li Xian and Yao Chong were able to maintain enough calm, and their opinions were surprisingly consistent, which shows that the heroes see the same thing.
"Hehe, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already had a countermeasure, although the Empress Wu and Pei Yan will be proud for the time being, but I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely achieve the final victory, especially, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds evidence, when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fight back, even if the Empress Wu is his mother, justice will definitely be on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, I will live up to my mission and complete the task assigned to me by His Royal Highness the Prince. Gao Sheji's heart seemed to be burning with a raging fire, clenched his fists tightly, and said silently. (To be continued.) )
