"General Liu, Your Majesty is invited!" Liu Yi, who had just returned from a patrol with his subordinate sergeants, had not yet reached the gate of the right Yulin army camp, and a eunuch was already waiting there, and when he saw Liu Yi coming back, he trotted up and said to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi chuckled in his heart, he had already roughly guessed why Li Xian wanted to summon him, and he didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed the eunuch who came to summon him to the Xuanwu Hall where Li Xian lived.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, he went against the habit of living in Li Zhi's time, and did not live in the palace area south of Taiye Pond, but lived near the Xuanwu Hall near the Xuanwu Gate, and even the court affairs were dealt with here.

The Xuanwu Palace is not far from the camp of the Right Yulin Army, and it is closer to the Xuanwu Gate guarded by the Right Yulin Army, if the Yulin Army stationed at the Xuanwu Gate wants to attack the Xuanwu Palace, it only takes a few minutes to rush to the outside of the Xuanwu Palace, and the dozens of sergeants who belong to Zuo Qianniuwei's subordinates and Li Xian's personal guards guarding the Xuanwu Palace will not be able to resist the impact of the Yulin Army sergeants no matter what.

Liu Yi didn't know if Li Xian was using this as a way of trusting himself, or that he wanted to put it under his own protection, because the soldiers of Zuo Qianniuwei stationed outside the Xuanwu Hall were also led by him, not to mention that more than half of the thousands of Right Yulin Army were directly led by him, so to speak, when necessary, the forbidden soldiers and horses he led could easily hijack the emperor!

After Li Xian ascended the throne, he did not talk to Liu Yi alone, and he did not show favor or envelop him, which made Liu Yi a little confused.

But Liu Yi knew that Li Xian, who was not simple-minded, could not fail to express himself for a leader of the forbidden army with heavy troops in his hands.

Liu Yi followed the summoned eunuchs into the Xuanwu Palace, Li Xian was reviewing a bunch of recitals, there were some eunuchs and palace maids standing on the side, there were no other ministers, Liu Yi also hurriedly went up to salute.

Seeing Liu Yi come in, Li Xian put down the fold in his hand, stood up, motioned for Liu Yi to be exempt, and immediately retreated.

"General Liu, the first emperor died, I just ascended the throne, the court has been complicated recently, and I don't have time to say something to you, but today I just have some leisure, and I learned that you just returned from patrol, so I sent someone to invite!" Li Xian motioned for Liu Yi to sit down beside him.

"Your Majesty wants to take care of the funeral of the emperor, and you have to deal with state affairs, you are busy, and the ministers dare not come to chatter, I hope that today will not disturb Your Majesty to deal with court affairs!" Liu Yi said without any expression, Li Xian actually knew that he was out on patrol, and it seemed that he also had Li Xian's cronies by his side, or who were loyal to Li Xian, Liu Yi had to figure him out, Liu Yi couldn't tolerate that there were people around him who betrayed him, whether it was Li Xian or Wu Zetian.

Li Xian showed a kind smile at Liu Yi and said, "Yi'an, today we don't practice the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, I only treat you as my brother-in-law, let's talk about idle things together!" During this time, there are many things I want to ask you!"

Liu Yi bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty has something to tell Weichen, please just say it... In the palace, the ministers dare not be rude!"

Li Xian was slightly stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "That's the same, when I'm free, go to the mansion to see the Taiping mother and son, Taiping added this little nephew to me, and my uncle didn't go to visit it, so I really didn't want to go, and I will definitely make up a gift then..."

Liu Yi hurriedly thanked, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, don't worry about these little things!" If Your Majesty is interested in going to the Princess's Mansion, the princess will be very happy... It's just that now that you, the princess's brother, are already the Ninety-Five, it's really a little inconvenient..."

Li Xian waved his hand, "There is nothing convenient or inconvenient, no matter what, I will find time to go..."

"The minister thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the princess and the little girl!" Liu Yi saluted again. Li Xian wants to go, then go, as the emperor, Li Xian wants to visit his sister's mansion, such an act, no one can stop him.

Li Xian walked up to Liu Yi, stared at Liu Yi with his eyes, and lowered his voice slightly: "Yi'an, when my father was dying, I was with me..."

"Your Majesty..."Liu Yi interrupted Li Xian's words, and at the same time, his eyes turned to the curtain on the side of the hall, and he slightly nununed his mouth.

Liu Yi felt something strange when he noticed the people on the side of Li Xianping when he entered the hall, and one of them secretly eavesdropped on them. Observing everything on the side was the first thing a special person like Liu Yi had to do when he entered a strange place, and at first he thought that Li Xian had summoned a person to speak, and he was going to come out after he had a conversation with Li Xian. But after saying a few words to Li Xian, looking at Li Xian's demeanor and the content of his words, this judgment was also overturned, and it must be some special person who was eavesdropping on them.

Li Xian looked at Liu Yi with confusion, very puzzled, he didn't notice anything unusual, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and his subordinate ministers. Seeing Li Xian's appearance like this, Liu Yi noticed that the eavesdropper had a very slight movement, and was about to get up and leave, he no longer hesitated, rushed to the place where his mouth was pointing just now, and pulled out a person from the curtain who was about to leave secretly.

Li Xian saw that he was a eunuch summoned by the palace.

The eunuch who was brought in by Liu Yi with his collar was frightened and collapsed on the ground.

Such a person hid in the curtain, how could Li Xian not know what was going on, his face was full of murderous aura, and before Liu Yi could ask each other, he asked the eunuch: "Who did you send to dare to eavesdrop on the secret discussion between me and the minister?" ”

The eunuch, who did not have a trace of blood on his face, did not answer Li Xian's question, but just knelt on the ground, his body shaking into a sieve.

Li Xian and Liu Yi glanced at each other, and then shouted: "Someone..."

With Li Xian's shouting, several guards guarding outside the hall rushed in.

"Pull him out, ask about the situation, and take a hundred more boards... to set an example"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several guards who came in responded and prepared to pull the eunuch out, but just as they were about to pull, the eavesdropping eunuch drooped his head, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, he committed suicide by swallowing medicine!" Liu Yi said lightly.

In fact, don't interrogate, Liu Yi also knows that this must be someone sent by Wu Zetian and placed next to Li Xian, the purpose is to find out Li Xian's every move. Now that the eavesdropping has been discovered, whether it is Li Xian or Wu Zetian, they will not let him go, horizontal and vertical is a dead end, choosing to commit suicide is of course the best means of relief, saving the suffering of skin and flesh, and a hundred big boards will be beaten, even if it is a strong person like Liu Yi, the body can't support it, and he wants to cry for his life.

This person must have a highly toxic drug hidden in his mouth, in case of suicide in case of emergency, from this analysis, this person will not be just a simple palace eunuch, it is likely to be a figure that Wu Zetian is a close toy, Liu Yi just did not expect this person to commit suicide, otherwise the supervision is stricter, even if this person has poison in his teeth, he has no chance to swallow it and commit suicide.

Now that this person is dead, Wu Zetian will definitely know the situation soon, and the resentment between him and Li Xian will be even heavier. What tricks does Wu Zetian make? How will the newly enthroned emperor Li Xian react? Liu Yi doesn't know.

The palace has a lot of space, it is not good to seal the surname, Li Xian did not deliberately put any secret room, when discussing things with people in the palace, it was very easy to be overheard, Liu Yi guessed that Li Xian was going to tell him a lot of very secret things next, these things could not be known to outsiders, so he also divided half of his heart to pay attention to the situation on the side.

According to Liu Yi's knowledge, when Li Zhi was the emperor, he discussed with Shangguan Yi about the abolition of Empress Wu Zetian, but he was also overheard by the eunuchs around him and reported to Wu Zetian. If he hadn't noticed it carefully this time, and what he said to Li Xian was reported to Wu Zetian, no one knew what the result would be.

Of course, Li Xian also knew about this situation, and after the guards pulled out the eunuch's body and cleaned up the blood stains in the hall, his face became even more ugly, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

Seeing that Li Xian didn't say anything, Liu Yi said politely: "Your Majesty, just now the minister acted recklessly, which frightened Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty..."

Before Liu Yi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xian, "Yi'an, fortunately, you acted cautiously and reacted sensitively to find the eavesdropper, otherwise I wouldn't know that this eunuch who has been following me is... Alas, it's no wonder that the matter I discussed with some courtiers was known to the Queen Mother so quickly, it turns out that there is such a person by my side!" Li Xian is also afraid, this is a eunuch close to him, if this person wants to poison himself, there are many opportunities. At first, he wondered if it was the ministers who were his cronies who told Wu Zetian that he had told Wu Zetian, but now he understood that when they were secretly discussing, they were overheard.

Li Xian stopped talking, but Liu Yi didn't dare to speak, and responded to Li Xian's words with silence.

Li Xian raised his head, looked at the top of the hall, and said very sadly: "Yi'an, why do you say that the queen mother is doing this to me? ”

"I don't know!" Liu Yi shook his head.

"I am already the emperor, several times when I was in charge of the country, I felt that my father appreciated the affairs of the court, and now some people even say that I am newly enthroned, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, and I want to ask the queen mother about everything, everything must be decided by the queen mother, and I deserve to be the emperor... Wretch!" Li Xian roared as he spoke, "They don't take me as the emperor in their eyes at all, in their eyes, I am just a puppet, an ornament, and I am not even as good as when I was the crown prince... I can't take it anymore..."
