Li Hong came to visit him this time just to thank Li Xiruo for telling him the truth about his mother last time, but he didn't expect Li Xiruo to be so faceless that he didn't even let himself enter the door, so he returned his worship post.

If this is someone else, even if it is the mansion of the court in the middle of the house, he would dare to break into, but this is the mansion of Tai Shiling. With the will of the emperor, no matter who it is, even Li Zhi, can be disrespectful to Taishi Ling, let alone him, the crown prince.

If he really offended Taishi Ling, even his father would reprimand him, so he didn't dare to mess around, so he only put the gift he brought outside the door in a depressed mood and left in frustration.

From the first time he met Li Xiruo, he could see that Li Xiruo didn't like him, but he didn't understand why, he thought he was handsome and extraordinary, and he was also recognized as a humble gentleman, or the prince of a country, except for his father, queen and mother, who in the whole world could be more noble than his identity?

He didn't understand, why did Li Xiruo hate him so much? I didn't like him from the first sight, and when I took the initiative to help, I mentioned myself.

When he came to thank him with a gift afterwards, the other party's face was even colder, and he almost pointed his nose and scolded himself for being a fool, this time he was even more ruthless, and he didn't even let himself in the door.

The lost Li Hong went back and thought about it for a few days, and felt that the problem was with his mother. If Li Xi is a member of the queen mother's faction, everyone knows it. It is precisely because there is such a master standing behind the queen mother that those who want to assassinate the queen mother are afraid and dare not make a move.

This time, he repeatedly told Li Xiruo about the matter of the queen mother and the queen chicken Si Chen, and it was normal for Li Xiruo to be unhappy. After all, Li Xiruo is also a woman, and she also helps the queen mother deal with court affairs, and she can be regarded as Si Chen, didn't he scold Li Xiruo together?

But he felt that he was right, Mr. taught that if you know your mistakes, you must be able to correct them, if Li Xi and the queen mother are wrong, they should be corrected, and An'an will teach her husband and children, instead of not admitting her mistakes to death.

Look at how many people in the court are scolding the queen mother behind their backs? Because it was his mother, he couldn't say anything directly, but when he heard the officials of the DPRK and China accusing his mother, his face was also gloomy.

He was also a man with a strong sense of righteousness, and he felt that he should correct the mistakes made by his mother. Therefore, if he has nothing to do, he will send a letter to Taishi Ling's mansion, admonishing Li Xiruo a few words, and will go to the queen mother to talk to the queen mother about letting go of the right.

He felt that he was very good to Li Xiruo, he really liked this fairy girl and persuaded her to go on the right path again and again, if he was the kind of person he didn't look down on, he was lazy.

As everyone knows, what he did completely annoyed Empress Wu and Li Xiruo, Li Xiruo was just that, she had already seen that Li Hong was a kind fool, in fact, there was no malice, but the brain circuit was relatively strange, and he was using his simple and unconscious to hurt others.

Empress Wu was very disappointed in this son, especially in front of this son, who accused herself of being immagnetic to the daughter born to Concubine Xiao Shu in public, and the two princesses were past the age of marriage but did not let them marry, which was simply vicious.

also threatened Empress Wu that if she did not let these two sisters marry, he would go to her father to complain and cure Empress Wu's crimes. Empress Wu was completely heartbroken by her son's operation.

She really wanted to question him, do you know that if it was your queen mother who was deposed at the beginning, your fate would not be as good as those two so-called sisters, just become a king and lose a villain, do you think Concubine Xiao Shu is kind?

Moreover, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are married, and they are all married to the sons of important ministers, Concubine Xiao Shu's two daughters have a vendetta against her Empress Wu for killing their mothers, do you marry them out and let them instigate their husbands to rebel and take revenge?

She Wu Meiniang is smart and smart, why did she give birth to such a fool, but she is still a fool who is not filial to her mother and does not listen to advice.

Empress Wu suppressed the anger and disappointment in her heart, and promised to arrange for the two princesses born to Concubine Xiao Shu to marry well, and on the second day, she really arranged two "good" families for Concubine Xiao Shufei's daughter, so that the two women who provoked the disharmony between their mother and son were better than dead.

After that, she never gave Li Hong a good face, and the entire court knew that Queen Wu's mother and son were out of harmony, and the crown prince Li Hong was dissatisfied with the queen and wanted to take away the power in the hands of the queen.

At this time, the support officials of Empress Wu of Xu Jingzong's faction couldn't sit still, if the queen mother fell, this prince who had never liked them would not give them a good face, and the people of their faction were afraid that they would be liquidated sooner or later.

Most of them are officials from poor families, and it is not easy to climb to their current status, all thanks to the support of Empress Wu, thinking that there may be no hope for the future, everyone can't sit still. The officials of Empress Wu's line began to sit together to discuss the matter of the crown prince.

In the end, outsiders don't know what the result of the discussion was, only that Xu Jingzong had brought a letter to the queen's palace, and the queen did not give any reply, but soon after, the crown prince Li Hong died in Luoyang and was poisoned.

The death of the prince shook the entire court, it was the prince, he was easily poisoned, so one day if someone wants to poison the emperor, can he easily get it?

If it was really that easy to poison a person, then the fierce woman of Queen Wu would not still hold power in that position now, making the family look unpleasant, but there was no way to take her.

So although the cause of Li Hong's death is a mystery, everyone speculates that it was Queen Wu's attack, Li Hong blocked the way of the queen's mother, between rights and parent-child, the queen chose the right and sent her son back to the West.

Li Zhi also couldn't believe such a result, he didn't have the intention of using Li Hong to deal with Empress Wu at the beginning, but he didn't want Empress Wu to even let go of her own son, and the tiger poison didn't eat her son, how ruthless this is.

Empress Wu didn't have any expression this time, looked at her son's corpse, and only said coldly to Li Zhi: "Hong'er's death has nothing to do with me." Then he turned and left.

This is Empress Wu's first son, and it is what she had high hopes for, it is false to say that she is not sad at all, Empress Wu came to Li Xiruo after leaving Li Zhi, but Li Xiruo seems to have expected that Empress Wu would come here.

Seeing Empress Wu coming in, she beckoned and asked Empress Wu to sit beside her and accompany her to burn a special kind of yellow paper in the brazier.

Empress Wu said expressionlessly: "You burned it for Hong'er?" ”

Li Xiruo nodded and said to Empress Wu: "His nature is actually not bad, it's a pity." I burned some dark paper for him, so that he could go smoothly on the Huangquan Road, and he could also have a good rebirth when he was reincarnated. ”

Empress Wu showed a sad look on her face when she heard this, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "Xiruo, thank you very much." ”

Li Xiruo didn't say anything unkind, she just felt that if she persuaded more, maybe Li Hong would still be saved, but in order not to go against the sky, she let Li Hong die, and she felt a little guilty.

But guilt is guilt, but she doesn't regret it, she has no friendship with Li Hong, why should she take her life for Li Hong. If she saves her master, then she has nothing to say, let alone against the sky, even if she lets her soul fly away, she will not hesitate to be born forever.

Seeing that all the yellow paper in the brazier was burned, Li Xiruo patted Empress Wu on the shoulder and said, "He will have a good life in his next life, you don't have to worry." ”

Everyone in the world said that Empress Wu was vicious and did not even let go of her own son for the sake of power, but she didn't know that Li Hong's death had nothing to do with Empress Wu, but Empress Wu knew about it and didn't stop it.

She knew Empress Wu's thoughts, and Li Hong couldn't stay. According to Li Hong's stupid appearance, he will be used at every turn, not to mention whether he can sit on the throne in the future, but because he is not friendly to his mother now, he will be in power in the future, whether it is Empress Wu or the children born to Empress Wu, I am afraid that it will not end well.

Empress Wu has more than one son Li Hong, she can't fall, she has other children to protect. If she falls, the rest of her children will end up with Concubine Xiao's daughter.

After Li Hong's death, Li Xian, the second son of Empress Wu, was made the prince of Zhang Huai, to say that this Li Xian can be said to be two kinds of people who are completely different from Li Hong, Li Xian is handsome, dignified, and quick-witted, and is deeply loved by his father Li Zhi.

Wang Bo, one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", is the prince's attendant, and his talent is even more dazzling, almost inheriting the intelligence of Queen Wu, compared with the previous stupid son, Queen Wu likes Li Xian, a particularly smart and transparent son.

But the bad thing is that Li Xian is too smart, he really won't be easily bewitched, he won't doubt whether the queen mother is his own like his stupid brother, and he won't persuade the queen mother to return his rights to his father, don't think about Si Chen and the like.

In Li Xian's opinion, the stupid brother's actions are simply looking for death, and his death Li Xian is not surprised at all. But it is precisely because Li Xian is so smart and transparent that he sees everything clearly, and he understands better what it means for the queen mother to be in power.

He doesn't know what the queen mother has experienced, but he knows how difficult it is for the queen mother to go from a talented person of the first emperor to a queen who holds most of the power in the world now, such a person knows too well what power means, and such a person will never let go of the power in his hands easily.

But Li Xian is also greedy for that right, his father's health is not good, and no one knows when he will die. When the time comes, he ascends the throne as the emperor, and the queen mother is the queen mother, and he also wants to be a powerful emperor, not a puppet, and he feels that he is fully capable of governing a country with his intelligence.

But he knows the queen mother too well, with the character of the queen mother, the emperor must be unhappy, the queen mother will not let go of the power in his hands at all, and he can only be a puppet when the time comes.

And he, unwilling to be a puppet.
