Chapter 1353 Empress Wu retaliated, and Li Jingxuan was deposed
The night was dusk and the snow fell silently.
The figures are in a hurry, and the sky and the earth are silent.
In front of the workshop, a team of black-armored cavalry armed with a long lance slowly entered the gate of the workshop.
Li Xuan, who was dressed in red clothes and gold armor and had snow on his shoulders, walked in the front, his expression was groaning, as if he was thinking about something.
Unconsciously, he has come to King Peng's mansion.
"Lord Wang!" At the gate of the palace, several figures stood under the wind and snow and bowed their hands at the same time.
Li Xuan subconsciously looked up and saw Li Bi and the other three standing in front of the door together.
The younger brother of Xiao Shoudao, Sima Xiao Xian of Jianzhou, as well as Lang Zhonglai of the Ministry of War, and Li Sichong, a member of the Ministry of Works.
Li Xuan saw the helplessness in Sui and Li Sichong's eyes at a glance, and immediately turned over and dismounted.
"Why are you here?" Li Xuan's expression was calm, and he waved his hand to the side, and the whole team of black-clothed cavalry had already begun to enter the palace.
Xiao Xian took the lead and bowed his hand with a wry smile: "I came here today to ask the prince, what will be the result of this incident?" ”
Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Let's go, let's talk inside." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed Li Xuan and entered the palace with Li Sichong.
……
Sitting down in the middle hall, Li Xuan asked people to serve tea, then looked at Li Sichong and asked, "Who asked you to come to this king today, do you know about this matter?" ”
Li Sichong was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise: "What does this matter have to do with my father?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just because you're here this time, and it's just that you're going to get the right prime minister." Li Xuan chuckled and said this.
In an instant, Li Sichong was stunned.
With a "bang", the tea bowl fell directly to the ground, and Li Sichong had already stood up.
Looking at Li Xuan, Li Sichong said with a face full of disbelief: "Lord Wang, this kind of joke can't be made. ”
"No kidding." Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "Someone needs to be responsible for this matter, but now that you have jumped out, then the person who is responsible is naturally the right minister...... Hehe, Zhao Jun Li's family is indeed responsible enough. ”
"What is the prince talking about, this matter has nothing to do with the right minister, why is the right phase implicated?" Xiao Xian stood up with a panicked face, and there was even a hint of horror in his eyes.
Li Xuan ignored him, looked at Li Sichong and said, "You hurry home, tell the right minister about today's matter, and see what solution the right minister has." ”
"Whoa!" When Li Sichong heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then walked quickly outside.
Li Xuan looked at Li Sichong's back, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that in the next few years, I won't be able to see Sichong's virtuous brother." ”
"Lord Wang, the right prime minister was dismissed, but is it because of Saburo's trip today, but why exactly?" Lai Sui stood up and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
"There's no why, this king just guessed." Li Xuan looked up at Xiang Sui and said, "Fortunately, the prime minister has already come to the minister, otherwise the one who will stop the prime minister this time will be the prime minister." ”
Laisui's face changed, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Then will my uncle be implicated?" ”
Lai Jingye is now the governor of Yuezhou, and he is responsible for investigating the affairs of the king of Yue.
"No, this time it will affect only the prime minister and the monk level, whoever is the first to show a flaw, then he will be attacked by other colleagues, and now he is impulsive, so find a reason to let Zhao Guogong leave Beijing, and he will not return for a long time, and by the way, he will be removed from the post of Shangshu's right servant." Li Xuan sighed lightly, as if she could see through the future changes at a glance.
"Lord Wang, what is going on, why did I wait to find the Lord today, and the right prime minister would be affected?" Xiao Xian was really panicked.
Li Xuan has said so much now, and the more she says it, the more it seems to be true.
Li Xuan turned to look at Xiao Xian, looked up and down, and then asked: "Why did you come to find this king today, there is Si Chong Xian, you go directly to the right minister, why do you want to pull him to find this king, don't say that you are specifically here to find this king, say, who told you to come here?" ”
Xiao Xian's eyes jumped, as if he remembered something, and his face brought infinite panic.
Li Xuan looked at Xiang Sui and said, "Tell me, what's going on today?" ”
Lai Sui turned around and glared at Xiao Xian hatefully, and then turned to Li Xuan and said: "Because the lower official has served in the military department for many years, he has been supported by Xiao Shilang, this time San Lang came to the door, asked the lower official to come to the prince, and after that, he pulled the lower official to find the outer man together." ”
Li Xuan looked at Xiao Xian, nodded, and asked, "San Lang, with the relationship between you and me, you can come directly to this king if you have something, why do you want to pull others?"
Besides, you found Si Chong for this matter, and borrowed him to find the right minister, why do you still want to come to this king? ”
"San Lang actually looked for the prince before, but the prince has been absent from Beijing, and when he heard that the prince returned to Beijing today, he should have come directly to him, but ......"
"Who did you meet?" Li Xuan was a little curious, who was so scheming about Li Jingye.
This kind of old fox is rare in the court, especially at this time, there are even fewer people who can clearly understand the emperor's thoughts.
"It's Zuo Shilang Zhong Dou Sitai." Xiao Xian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "His family and my family have been in-laws for generations, and San Lang accepted his suggestion directly. ”
Xiao Xian himself was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, his mother is the eldest princess of Taizong, Princess Xiangcheng, and the Dou family is also a royal relative, and the marriage between the two sides for many years is even more common.
"In this way, this matter should be instructed by Dou Shangshu, that is to say, if San Lang does not find Si Chong, then it is Dou Shangshu who will be implicated in this matter in the end."
Lai Sui frowned and inferred from Li Xuan and Xiao Xian's words, but then he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Xia Guan still doesn't understand, why is this matter implicated in Shangshu and the prime minister without evidence?" ”
"This time, King Yue and the Xiao family rebelled, inferring back and forth, there is always something missing, in this matter, if there is an accident, their plan will fail, so in order to ensure the success of the plan, they need someone to answer them in the center." Li Xuan turned to look at Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, this matter has nothing to do with the three brothers including me, nor does it have anything to do with the Dou family. ”
"San Lang is right, the Dou family has no reason to help King Yue, let alone the marriage between the Dou family and the royal family, and the daughter of the Dou family is the princess of the Xiangwang, how can she ......" Lai Sui stopped in the middle of speaking, his face was ugly and terrible.
Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered, and his face changed instantly.
"Don't be cranky." Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "This resignation must have nothing to do with rebellion in the end, because just like what Brother Lai said, there is no evidence." ”
Lai Sui smiled reluctantly, this kind of thing has always been a proof of freedom, and the emperor can deal with it if he wants to target a person, even if it is a prime minister, not to mention, there are other people who contribute to the trouble.
"Okay, today's words, if you don't want to implicate yourself, don't go out and talk about it." Li Xuan looked at Xiao Xian again and asked: "San Lang, why did you come to this king today, if it is Xiao Shilang's matter, everything will be tried by the three divisions, if it is your second brother's matter, you don't have to worry, he is just temporarily suspended." ”
"It's not the second brother, the second brother is a martial artist, and it's easy to come back before and after, but the worst is a few fights in the Western Regions, the trouble is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is also suspended to participate, he has been assassinating in Weizhou for many years, and he still has a chance to go up." Xiao Xian smiled wryly, this time it was really too sudden.
The entire Xiao family suddenly became a family that concealed the rebellion, the highest-ranking soldier in the family was directly imprisoned, and all other levels of assassination, Changshi, Sima, etc., were all suspended from their posts and waiting to participate, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the entire Xiao family will completely fall.
But not many people in the entire Xiao family know about this matter at all, and everything is a disaster.
Xiao Xian's situation is okay, his mother is the emperor's sister, so he can still travel freely after being suspended.
But at this time, the free movement was seized by others and taken advantage of.
"The matter of the right minister is already like this, there is no room for redemption, your matter, this king has a way here." Li Xuan looked at Xiao Xian calmly.
"Please also ask the prince for advice." Xiao Xian was immediately extremely happy that before Li Jingxuan's previous incident, he instantly forgot about it.
"Let your brother write a letter and ask for a transfer, and transfer him to Yazhou Assassin History." Li Xuan raised his head and stared at Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian's complexion changed slightly, the end of the world, Yazhou Zhenzhou.
has always been exiled for 3,000 miles, that is, exiled to Yazhou Zhenzhou, and now there is a Fanzhou.
"Don't worry, San Lang will let his brother read when he goes back." Xiao Xian didn't hesitate too much, and responded directly.
The matter between Li Jingxuan and Dou Xuande before really shocked him, not to mention that there may be ...... involved in it Therefore, relatively speaking, the transfer to Yazhou is not a big deal.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't really want your brother to be transferred to Yazhou, it's just a gesture, your brother is Song Guogong, and this matter has nothing to do with you, there is no big problem, but your second brother, be careful." ”
Xiao Xian bowed his head deeply, among the people in the Xiao family, although Xiao Shoudao was dismissed at the same time, everyone else was imprisoned at home, and only he was monitored by Qianniuwei.
Xiao Xian had thought about it before, and letting Xiao Shoudao fight in the Western Regions was not something to think about casually, but something that the Xiao family really discussed.
"Thank you for the reminder." Xiao Xian bowed his hand heavily.
Li Xuan looked outside the hall and said: "It's snowing heavily tonight, and there will be a curfew again, and now at this time, this king will not keep you at home, but you can rest assured that Your Majesty will miss the eldest princess after all, and now the punishment is just to give an explanation to the world, just postpone it for this year or two." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Xian gave his hand again, and then looked at Lai Jingye and said, "Brother Lai, San Lang will go first." ”
"Okay." Lai Sui looked at Xiao Xian and turned around and left.
At this time, Lai Sui turned to look at Li Xuan: "Da Lang, will Zhao Guogong's side really be dismissed?" ”
Li Xuan nodded lightly, and while motioning to sit down, he said: "Wu Chenghei is going to be demoted, and the queen of heaven will take revenge a little." ”
As soon as he was halfway through his seat, he was stunned: "Wu Chenghei is going to be demoted, why?" ”
"You don't know?" Li Xuan looked at Xiang Sui with some surprise, frowned, and said: "You are the commander of the military department, even if it is a thousand cow guards, the transfer of more than 500 people must be reported by the military department." ”
"There are some things that I can't know." Lai Sui waved his hand slightly, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Since it is the transfer of Qianniuwei, then this matter is not something I should know." ”
"I see." Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then I can't tell you what happened here, but if you think about it, you have already made the queen of heaven want to retaliate to the prime minister, so you should understand how serious the matter is." ”
Lai Sui nodded solemnly, Li Xuan said it like this, he still didn't understand something.
Li Jingxuan just bumped into it unlucky, this unlucky one may be Cui Zhiwen or Liu Xianli, but Li Jingxuan was the first to show the flaw.
"So the one who instigated Xiao Xian to come to you today is really Dou Weng, is ...... Is it the king of the phase? Lai Sui finally spoke.
"I don't know, maybe it may be Wu Chenghe, after all, he is going to be unlucky, and it is the same to find someone to retaliate, or it may be the North Gate Bachelor, they want to muddy the waters." Li Xuan shook his head and said softly: "You should understand that the most unacceptable thing here is that King Xiang is operating behind the scenes. ”
Laisui fell completely silent.
