[Chapter 20: Xiao Lang's Thousand Thoughts Are Finally Lost] (2)

I don't know if I don't try it, but I don't know it until I know it in the first instance, and there are really a lot of princes in the same party.

Li Xianzi would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, and even hinted that the courtiers would check on King Xiang and Princess Taiping. As a result, there was really one person who was tortured, saying that the prince had rebelled, and King Xiang and Princess Taiping had also participated in it.

"Bang dang!" With a crisp sound, the white porcelain bowl was waved and dropped by Princess Taiping, and the blue and white lotus leaf soup cake immediately exploded on the ground, and a tender cyan soup cake splashed on Xiao Zhizhong's ink-colored boots.

Xiao Zhizhong is the middle of the imperial history, and today he was called into the palace to face the saint, and when he left the palace, he came to the princess's mansion in Zhenguo.

"Does anyone really dare to say that about King Xiang and me?" Princess Taiping sneered.

Xiao Zhizhong's face was calm, as if he was not surprised: "Being tortured, in order to protect yourself, don't you dare to say anything?" ”

"You came to me today to tell me this?"

Xiao Zhizhong said lightly: "The minister advised the sage to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the sage found Xiao to enter the palace today, saying that he would let Xiao preside over the trial." ”

Princess Taiping pursed her lips and smiled: "Did you respond, or refused?" ”

Xiao persuaded the sage, saying that the sage is supreme and noble, sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but he can't even accommodate a brother and a sister, and let people make up accusations against them, do you have to frame them until death? If you had known that today, when King Xiang was the crown prince, why did he have to implore the Empress Zetian to give up the crown prince position to the saint, and she didn't think about tea and dinner for many days? This matter is well known to the people of the world, why should the saint suspect his closest relatives for the sake of a villain's words? ”

Princess Taiping nodded: "What did the sage say?" ”

"The saint was silent for a long time, and then called in a eunuch of five grades."

Hearing this, Princess Taiping glanced at Xue Chongjian, who was standing beside her, and her eyes lit up: "What did the sage call him for?" ”

"Xiao didn't expect that for such a major event, the saint would call a eunuch to ask for advice." As he spoke, Xiao Zhizhong recalled the Zichen Hall not long ago, and told Princess Taiping in detail.

As soon as the little eunuch in light crimson entered the hall, Xiao Zhizhong noticed that something was unusual, one was the sage's eyes looking at the eunuch, and the other was the eunuch's overly standard smile.

Li Xian directly waved his hand to exempt Xiao Jiangyuan from the salute, but Xiao Jiangyuan pretended not to see it, but still finished the salute, and said: "The sage called the slave and maid to come, but there is something to order?" ”

"On the night of the prince's rebellion, after the overall situation has been decided, you once told me that after a thorough investigation, someone will inevitably confuse the public, so let me keep my eyes open and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Now that it is, I do not know how to discern, so I call you to discern for me. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes rippled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The sage is serious, the slave is soft, and the knowledge is shallow, at most he can only talk about his own opinions, not even 'help', let alone 'for'?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan returned to his former appearance, he lost all his edges, like a thick ball of cotton wool, the knife could not be split, and it was like a solid stubborn stone, the sword could not pierce, as if she was just a dreamer who appeared that night, Li Xian was a little puzzled and a little unwilling, and saw that Xiao Zhizhong was still there, so he continued: "Some prisoners said that the prince rebelled, and King Xiang and Taiping were involved. ”

As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan entered the hall, he noticed Xiao Zhizhong, and said, "The sage has asked Xiao Zhongcheng?" ”

"You don't have to be obsessed with the difference between dignity and inferiority, I ask you anything, and you answer." Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was still silent, looking embarrassed, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could she be so agile and agile that night, how could she act so pedantic and stubborn? But he sighed, "I've already asked." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, there is no need for the slave to say it, because what the slave and maid want to say is only the same as what Xiao Zhongcheng said." ”

Li Xian was quite surprised, but it was not that Xiao Jiangyuan would intercede for King Xiang and Taiping, but how could she know what Xiao Zhizhong said? Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to ask, and listened to Xiao Jiangyuan say: "If Xiao Zhongcheng said that since this matter is related to King Xiang and Princess Taiping, it is strictly investigated, I am afraid that the slave and maid will not be summoned by the saint here today, even if the slave and maid themselves have something to do, they probably will not see Xiao Zhongcheng." ”

Li Xian's face was a little embarrassed, and he took a sip of tea: "It's as if I'm so unkind." ”

"The saint misunderstood." Xiao Jiangyuan bowed apologetically, "The saint is right to want to investigate strictly." ”

As soon as Xiao Zhizhong said this, Princess Taiping said angrily: "What did Xiao Jiangyuan say?!" ”

Xue Chongjian obediently lowered his head, not daring to make a mistake, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.

Xiao Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Xiao hasn't finished speaking, the princess doesn't need to be angry." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhizhong's expression as usual, Princess Taiping was a little incredulous, and said, "What else did Xiao Jiangyuan say?" ”

"Xiao Neishou said again: 'If you don't strictly investigate and overturn the so-called confession witnesses one by one, how can you prove the innocence of King An Guo and Princess Zhenguo Taiping?' She said as if she remembered something, and said, "King Xiang is now the Prime Minister of Anguo, and Princess Taiping of Zhenguo is now the princess of Zhenguo. Besides, the prince's coup d'état is really full of mistakes and omissions, not to mention the king, just the princess of Taiping, if she really participated, how could she let this coup end so hastily, and how could the saint sit on the dragon chair at this moment? ’”

"She also said: 'These things do not need to be said by slaves and maids, and the saint naturally knows them in his heart, so he is anxious to wash away the grievances of his younger siblings, but the saint forgets it in a hurry, and if he wants to investigate it strictly, he will inevitably be punished.' But in this world, there is only one brother and one sister left in the flesh and blood of the saint, so naturally he can't bear it, and the emperor and the empress of heaven under the nine springs must not want to see this scene. Therefore, the slave maid saw that this confession might as well be dispersed, and then let everyone in the world see that the saint was generous, not only did not suspect King Xiang and Princess Taiping, but treated them as if they were before. ’”

Count her acquaintances...... Princess Taiping's face softened slightly: "But the saint didn't agree, right?" ”

Xiao Zhizhong nodded: "The sage only said, of course he knows the innocence of the king and the princess, and there is no need for strict investigation, so as not to hurt the flesh and blood affection, but the power of the king and the princess is already too strong, if you hear such confessions, you will be more than before, I am afraid that the villain will think that the saint is deliberately tempting, but it has separated the flesh and blood family." ”

Princess Taiping snorted coldly: "So he doesn't reward or punish, he doesn't do anything, and he treats us the same as before, but he is not afraid of being deliberately shielded, or afraid of the reputation of his courtiers." ”

Xiao Zhizhong said: "This Xiao Neishou also asked, but the sage said that he had his own plans, so he asked Xiao Neishou and Xiao to retreat. ”

Princess Taiping smiled: "You came to me as soon as you retreated, if the saint knows, I don't know how to feel." ”

Xiao Zhizhong's face did not change and said: "When Xiao first entered Chang'an, if it wasn't for Princess Taiping to lend a hand, I was afraid that she would have been poor and destitute, how could she have today?" This time, it was not only for the sake of repaying the kindness, but also for the sake of the saint, Xiao had a clear conscience. ”

At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er in the Shicui Hall also heard Xiao Jiangyuan talk about this matter.

"You know that the saint will not agree, but you still let the saint treat King Xiang and Princess Taiping better than before, but you are giving the saint a reason to refute himself, so that the saint does not feel that he is following in your footsteps?" Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a while and said.

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded.

"Now that you have returned to the palace and made meritorious contributions, and you just happened to serve the saint, do you want to be like this forever?"

"I also have my own purpose, and making meritorious contributions or something is just incidental." Xiao Jiangyuan recalled Li Xian's expression, lowered his eyes and smiled, "And after today, the saint will probably not care about me anymore for the sake of me who has a little merit, and it is a great grace to be able to let me live in the palace peacefully." ”

"Your purpose...... Is it today? ”

"I want to ...... too Save your life. Xiao Jiangyuan did not deny it, "After all...... Back then, it was you who took the crow slave out of the court, making her Jiang Yuan and Xiao Jiangyuan. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's heart softened, and after hearing it, she didn't feel tight: "Between you and me, is there only kindness left?" You saved my life, did you plan to pay it off all at once, and never have anything to do with me in the future? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't answer, only smiled lightly, saluted in a proper manner, and turned to leave.

Outside the hall, Xiao Jiangyuan looked up, first sighed, this year's drought is finally coming to an end, and then he thought of Li Xian's "own plan", and his heart was a little uneasy. Li Xian will not deal with King Xiang and Princess Taiping, and he will not leave the name of protection and fear of the ministers, so he must find another reason to punish him a little, but I don't know what he wants.

No matter how ridiculous he is on weekdays, but after all, he has become the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial mind he should have is no worse than other emperors.

On the fifth day of the ninth month, Li Xian changed the Yuan Jinglong to the first year of Jinglong, and granted amnesty to the world.

Soon, Li Xianxia put the five sons of Prime Minister Li Dan to the place, Li Chengqi was the assassin, and the other four brothers were all other drivers, and they set off for their posts within three days. Among them, Li Longji is a different driver in Luzhou.

After hearing the news, Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a long time, and she didn't come back to her senses until Yang Siqiao patted her shoulder.

At this time, Yang Siqiao had been promoted to the fourth rank of the permanent attendant because of his meritorious service, and was awarded the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and it was still awkward to wear a dark crimson official uniform on him, and the neckline was still a little loose. Since he knew what Xiao Jiangyuan did that night, he admired this little eunuch who was not tall and strong, so he didn't wait for her to come to him for a drink, so he found her first. It just so happened that he had just heard about it, thinking that Xiao Jiangyuan probably didn't know yet, so he told her, but it turned out to be like this.

"You...... You okay? ”

"How many days are left?"

"Huh?"

"How many days are left before the departure of several county kings?"

"Today has just been awarded, and it should be counted from tomorrow."

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "King Xiang has always been cautious, today he will bring a few county kings into the palace to thank him, and the saint wants to entertain them to drink and feast, that is, in the Lin De Palace......"

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to be planning something, Yang Siqiao immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "What are you going to do, can you take me one?" ”
