Li Xian and others said they would do it, and immediately went to Gaozong's palace to intercede for Li Jingxuan, originally according to Li Xian's intentions, this time all the cronies on both sides must be gathered together, and jointly put pressure on Gaozong to force Gaozong to agree, but Li Xian advised him that more people may not be effective, but it may cause Gaozong to be disgusted, not to mention that after a long time, it will inevitably startle the snake, if the Empress Wu learns the news, it is estimated that even if all the officials above all the items in the DPRK and China are moved, it may not be able to force the Empress Wu to change his mind.

Therefore, Li Xian, who felt reasonable, did not insist any longer, but only invited several prime ministers to go to Gaozong's palace to ask for his life.

However, Li Jingxuan, who was the party concerned, did not go, Li Xian gave him an idea at this time, so that he would "suddenly have a stroke" and could not make the trip, and asked his son Li Sichong to write a chapter on his behalf to show that he could not fight.

A group of people soon came to Gaozong's palace, when this group came to the outside of the palace, the doorkeeper saw that several prime ministers and the prince and the king of Zhou had "killed" together, and they were already frightened and pale, and immediately went in to report to Gaozong.

Gaozong was also shocked when he heard that so many people had come, but the ministers were all here, how could he not meet him as a monarch? So I had to order them to come in with mixed feelings.

When Gaozong saw that the four prime ministers Li Yiyan, Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenjun, and Hao Chujun and the brothers Li Xian and Li Xian were all coming, he was also quite worried in his heart, so he said haha: "Li Aiqing, Dai Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, Hao Aiqing, Xian'er, Xian'er, you are all here, hehe, sit down, come here, give me a seat." ”

Gaozong naturally knew what they were for, but he didn't give them a chance when he came up, and pulled his two sons and the four prime ministers to talk about it for a while, thinking that after a while, he would excuse himself from being tired, and then let them leave.

But he didn't expect that he had just chatted a few words, when he saw the crown prince Li Xian suddenly interrupt: "Father, in fact, the son-in-law, the four prime ministers and the seventh brother are here for an important matter, and I ask my father for permission." ”

Li Xian said as he bowed and paid his respects.

Along with Li Xian, the four prime ministers and Li Xian also followed closely and made a big salute to Gaozong.

"You guys, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly make such a big gift? Seeing this, Gaozong couldn't help but be a little flustered, and said again and again.

But Li Xian immediately said: "Father, sons, and others asked for their father this time, it was Li Xiang who went to resist Tibet, my father didn't know, Li Xiang didn't know about the military, if he led his troops to go, it would be nothing to delay himself, but how innocent were the 180,000 soldiers?" This is 180,000 loyal and brave Tang hot-blooded men, they usually pay rent for the country, fight bravely for the safety of the world in wartime, sacrifice their lives and forget death, if they catch up with a famous general who knows military affairs and wins a hundred battles, they can also make contributions to the country, even if they sacrifice their lives, it is worth it, but if they meet a general like Li Xiang who is not familiar with military affairs, they will not only face defeat, but also their lives are difficult to protect, the father is the son of heaven, and there is benevolence in his heart, and his son believes that he will not bear to kill the 180,000 soldiers innocently because of the unknown generalsTherefore, I implore my father to retract his order, remove Li Xiangtao from his military posts such as the chief of the march of the river, and choose another famous general to go, so that the 180,000 soldiers are very fortunate, the society is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian saluted Gao Zongton again, and kowtowed more than once.

Watching Li Xian's performance, Li Xian couldn't help but sneer secretly, the reason why Li Xian volunteered so much was naturally to be able to gain a good reputation, and also to get the praise of his father, but these are really not important to Li Xian, in Li Xian's heart, as long as he can protect the 180,000 soldiers, Li Xian can do whatever he wants, not to mention, such a performance is also dangerous, because the first thing to bear the brunt will definitely attract the most hatred from the enemy.

Hearing this, Gaozong nodded, then sighed softly, and secretly smiled bitterly: "Li Jingxuan is not familiar with military affairs, so why don't I know about this matter?" But Mei Niang said it well, Li Jingxuan has been in charge of the election for a long time, how many officials are from his disciples? He also joined forces with the Li clan of Zhaojun, and in addition to marrying the Shandong Shi clan three times, how can such a huge force be reassuring? Xian'er, you look at this guy like a lost dog now, but once he is given a chance, he will definitely threaten the imperial power, and his father is now dying, how many years can he live? But once you become the emperor, this guy is definitely a powerful minister, try his best for his father, and finally seize an opportunity to deal with this Li Jingxuan, but you don't know how to work hard for your father, plead for that guy, alas, I really don't know if you are smart or confused? But no matter what, today you have raised the 180,000 soldiers, if you turn a blind eye to your father, then you will be considered a tyrant, this crime is not enough for your father to bear, hehe, you have forced your father to a dead end. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Gaozong saw Li Xian, who was silent, and asked, "How does Xian'er see it?" ”

I only heard Li Xian bow down and say: "Father Qi, the son thinks that the prince is so benevolent and righteous, it is really a blessing for the society, if 180,000 soldiers live because of the prince's words, the name of the prince's benevolence will be spread all over the government and the opposition, this is a wealth more valuable than everything." ”

Li Xian's meaning is actually obvious, if Li Xian does this, he will definitely gain great prestige, and compared to these fame, what is Li Jingxuan's threat? Even the lives of 180,000 soldiers are nothing.

Gaozong naturally heard the meaning of Li Xian's words, he remembered that the Empress Wu has become stronger and stronger recently, the prince can't control each other at all, and the court is almost in a one-sided situation, which makes him more and more powerless, and now Li Xian said this, feeling that it is an opportunity for the prince to rise, but he thought about it again, there is still a problem to be solved, so he decided to hand over this problem to the prince to test his ability, so, Gaozong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised Li Xian: "My son can be benevolent, It is indeed commendable to ask for the lives of those 180,000 soldiers, but my will has been issued, and it is really against the etiquette system to take back the order, so what can I do about it? Can I make a plan for me? ”

At this moment, a cold snort voice was heard: "What do you mean by being benevolent? It is clearly a hypocrisy, trying to earn a reputation for yourself, but you don't care about your father's reputation, hmph, the will, like the water spilled out, how can it be taken back? You are obviously ill-intentioned, to damage your father's reputation to earn prestige for yourself, and even more, to keep Li Jingxuan and form a party for you to benefit, right? ”

The voice was cold and high-pitched, and when the people present heard it, they knew that it was Wu Hou, and they were all shocked, and some even lamented, it seemed that this time there was no hope.

After listening to Empress Wu's words, Gaozong's face was also pale, and he suddenly became gloomy.

"This, this, my hateful queen mother, why are you here at this time?" When Li Xian saw the arrival of the Empress Wu and pointed out his purpose to the point, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, and immediately complained.

And Li Xian on the side saw Li Xian's expression, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, this guy has no courage, seeing the martial queen is like a mouse seeing a cat, it is really a little hopeless, if you wait a little longer, it is estimated that the lives of these 180,000 soldiers can never be saved, it seems that in the critical period, you must also take action by yourself.

Thinking of this, Li Xian immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, mother, son, I don't dare to agree with this, the prince's brother is dedicated to the country's society, has benevolence, and asks for the life of the 180,000 soldiers, not to damage the reputation of his father, but to enhance his own prestige, but it is really the righteousness, not to mention, the prince is really doing this to maintain the reputation of his father, the so-called success of ten thousand bones, even if he can win, there are still countless soldiers killed and injured, let alone after defeat?" Li Xiang doesn't understand military affairs, and he fought against a generation of famous generals Garqinling, and he dared to predict that he would definitely lose, and this battle would be lost, can one of the 180,000 soldiers survive? The 180,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, not only was the father's wisdom questioned, but also the ambition of the Garqin Mausoleum was stimulated. Therefore, the sons are willing to follow the crown prince and admonish their father and queen mother, hoping that the father and queen mother will take back their orders, remove Li Xiangjun from their military positions, and appoint other famous generals with experience in commanding troops to fight, so that it is really the luck of the 180,000 soldiers, the luck of the society, and the luck of the world! ”

After Li Xian finished speaking, Hao Chujun also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Weichen also thinks that what King Zhou said is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for the life of 180,000 soldiers, which is a true manifestation of inner benevolence, for the sake of my great cause of the Tang Dynasty, and more importantly, to maintain the wisdom of His Majesty, Li Jingxuan is not proficient in military affairs, how can he be qualified to lead troops?" Weichen judged with the experience of leading the troops to Goguryeo, if Li Jingxuan was allowed to lead the troops this time, our army would undoubtedly be defeated. The lives of 180,000 soldiers must not be played with, and please ask His Majesty's brigadiers and others to ****** the military position of Jingxuan. ”

After Hao Chujun finished speaking, Li Xian, Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenqian and others also immediately stepped forward and arched their hands to Gaozong and said: "The ministers (sons) seconded the proposal, and please Your Majesty (father) and Tianhou (mother) think twice!" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Are you trying to force the palace to fail? Wait for the boldness! Seeing this, Empress Wu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, stared at everyone, and reprimanded sharply.

With the support of everyone, Li Xian also began to harden, and said loudly: "The sons dare not dare, the sons are really for justice and the fortune of the country, and they have the courage to ask their father and mother for their lives, and also ask for the permission of their father and mother, so that not only 180,000 soldiers are the world's Li Shu, but also the wisdom of the father and mother!" ”

"You, you, hello, you're so good...... "Wu Hou turned blue, pointed at Li Xian, Li Xian and others, and said loudly.

At this time, I suddenly heard Guan Wan'er's internal report: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, the Chinese book ordered Li Jingxuan to have a book, yesterday Li Xiang suddenly suffered a stroke and could not fight in Tibet, I feel ashamed, please forgive Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven."
