People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1139: Who can escape the relationship between father and son? Father, can you?

After sitting at the table, Li Xian finally raised his head, looked at Li Xuan deeply, and asked: "Uncle Wang, I want to ask, if I had followed Uncle Wang's plan, could I have been exempted from today's crime?"

Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan, Duan Baoxuan, and Gao Zhizhou all looked at Li Xuan with twinkling eyes.

Li Xuan looked up and looked at Li Xian, who seemed calm but was actually a broken man. He finally couldn't bear to be bullied.

"The books of the Later Han Dynasty are too biased after all. For the books of the Early Han Dynasty, just read the first half, especially the stories about the Han Dynasty." Li Xuan considered every word.

He knew that every word he said now would be written directly into the memorial by Gao Zhizhou and sent to the emperor's hands.

It will even be recorded in history books in the future.

Fortunately, Li Xuan gave a simple answer, and Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan and others immediately looked away.

What happened here is that Li Xian organized people to compile the annotations of "Book of the Later Han", but Li Xuan suggested that he use the "Book of Han" instead.

Many people knew about this incident at the time, and some people had already seen the deep meaning in Li Xuan's words at that time, but now that the old incident is brought up again, it is crueler after all.

Li Xuan glanced at Xue Yuanchao, and then told Li Xian the truth: "The Han Dynasty had Emperor Wu in its heyday, but it was a period of accumulation of literature and scenery."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan shut her mouth firmly.

Gao Zhizhou was the first to raise his head and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Duan Baoxuan, Xue Yuanchao, and Pei Yan reacted one after another, glanced at Li Xuan, and then lowered their heads and said nothing.

Li Xian sat there, carefully considering Li Xuan's words.

Finally he nodded slowly, and he finally understood that all along, the person he was targeting was never Empress Wu, but the Emperor.

Empress Wu could sit in the former dynasty, but she had the support of the emperor.

Now in the imperial court, look, who has more cronies, the emperor or Empress Wu.

Not to mention others, just the prime minister, Liu Rengui, Dai Zhide, Li Jingxuan, Hao Chujun, Liu Shenli, Zhao Renben, which one is Empress Wu?

In addition, Li Yiyan and Xue Yuanchao were also very difficult to deal with Empress Wu.

The one where Empress Wu can exert her strength is in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He grabbed the money bag of the entire Tang Dynasty and took control of the secret guards.

Controlled the deepest power of the Tang Dynasty.

There may be many others, but it is still difficult to threaten the emperor's position.

The emperor used her to balance the powerful ministers.

Without Empress Wu, the Tang Dynasty would have been out of control in Li Zhi's hands.

Maybe many years ago, Li Zhi should have abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and then gave up the throne to Li Hong.

Li Xian, under the instigation of his subordinates, took many actions against Empress Wu, but thinking about it carefully, what was ultimately hurt was the emperor's control of the court.

……

"Does Your Highness now know that he was wrong?" Xue Yuanchao finally stepped forward and asked the final question through Li Xuan's words.

Li Xian took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and said sadly: "It's because I'm too stupid and didn't see the truth clearly. It's because I'm too weak. I just listen to what others say... If I could have listened to Uncle Wang's words, I wouldn't have known the truth." Falling into the situation we are in today.”

Before Li Xian finished speaking, Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Zhizhou on one side.

At this time, Gao Zhizhou had already written in advance.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Zhizhou did not record Li Xian's last words.

Xue Yuanchao also saw this scene, and he paid no attention to Gao Zhizhou's actions.

Because today, his purpose of coming to the East Palace has been achieved.

The prince had already said the last words the emperor wanted.

"Your Highness, please rest in peace. I will leave." Xue Yuanchao handed over his hand without any hesitation.

Li Xuan, Pei Yan, Gao Zhizhou, and Duan Baoxuan handed over their hands at the same time: "I'll leave."

Li Xian seemed to have not recovered from his thoughts, nodded subconsciously, and the others immediately turned and left.

He was afraid that Li Xian would suddenly speak and say more uncontrollable words.

Among them, Xue Yuanchao and Li Xian were connected by Xue Yao. Li Xuan was the prince of the clan, and he also served as the crown prince Youzan Shan for a while.

Others, especially Pei Yan, had a hard time dealing with Li Xian.

If Li Xian tells all these grievances at this time, others will inevitably get into a lot of trouble.

Just when everyone had just walked out of the inner door and breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xian's voice suddenly sounded: "Uncle Wang!"

Li Xuan lamented in her heart, turned around again and handed over her hands: "Your Highness!"

Li Xian raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Uncle Wang, how is Chang'an?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "I returned from Changzhou, passed through Chang'an, entered Luoyang, and met the Holy Spirit. I was ordered to guard the Chengtian Gate. I don't know much about the affairs of Chang'an, but your Majesty's heavenly father's heart will be taken care of by the East Palace." , it’s impossible to say that Donggong doesn’t know what happened now.”

Li Xian smiled softly, then sighed and said: "The relationship between father and son, who can be exempted?"

Li Xuan's eyes twitched slightly, and she cupped her hands and said, "I'm leaving!"

Li Xuan turned around and quickly caught up with Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan and others. She sighed in her heart, Li Xian, why are you doing this?

No one spoke.

I am afraid that I will make my position clear as soon as I open my mouth.

……

Seeing everyone leaving, Li Xian smiled softly.

He lowered his head, his eyes flashing with resentment, then regret, and finally full of pain.

Suddenly, Li Xian looked up and looked at where Gao Zhizhou was sitting. Something seemed to have fallen there.

"Hehehe..." Li Xian suddenly laughed.

The laugh was weird and hard to hear.

"Close the door!" The voice of Zuo Qianniu Guards Commander He Wei sounded outside the door. The next moment, the doors of the inner and outer halls were slowly closed.

"Hahahaha..." Li Xian laughed even more crazily.

He Wei frowned, but the next moment, he turned around and headed towards the entrance of the East Palace to check in.

It seemed that at this moment, the prince's life and death no longer mattered.

After a long time, Li Xian's crazy laughter stopped.

He listened outside with one ear. When everything quieted down completely, Li Xian slowly stood up. I walked to the side and under the table, a pill the size of a fingernail appeared underneath.

No, half a pill to be precise.

It's just that half of it is upside down on the ground and can't be seen clearly.

Gao Zhizhou?

Li Xian frowned slightly, then shook his head. He had nothing to do with the Huangmen Minister.

So is it Pei Yan or the King of Nanchang?

Holding the pill in his hand, Li Xian walked back to the desk.

His eyes were deep.

This medicine is only half a pill.

He is not sick now, so he naturally does not need any medicine to save his life, so this is a poison.

But only half a pill.

It means that this medicine is not killing him, but causing pain and saving him.

Li Xuan's figure instantly flashed in Li Xian's mind.

Not now, this medicine is not for taking now.

But it comes to a critical moment.

This medicine was used to save his life.

Li Xian figured out Li Xuan's plan instantly.

He was doing this for himself as well as for Li Xian.

After thinking about this clearly, Li Xian suddenly smiled softly.

The relationship between father and son, who can be spared?

Father, can you?

……

After leaving the East Palace, everyone returned to Qianyang Palace.

Li Xuan did not go to Chengtianmen again this time, but entered the Qianyang Palace with everyone.

Above the main hall, only the emperor sat.

In the hall, Liu Rengui, Li Jingxuan, Hao Chujun, Liu Shenli, Li Yiyan, Cui Zhiwen and others were all present, as well as six ministers, ministers of nine temples, ministers of various ministries, etc.

Li Yuanjia, King of Han, Li Yuanying, King of Teng, and Li Jing, King of Zheng.

Wang Jishan, the general of the Qianniu Guard on the left, Xue Guwu, the general of the Jinwu Guard on the right, and so on.

All the eyes of dozens of high-ranking officials in the court fell on Li Xuan and the others.

"Your Majesty, I have returned from asking about the prince. I have recorded it here. Your Majesty, please preview it." Xue Yuanchao respectfully handed over this chapter of the questions and answers written by Gao Zhizhou.

Wang Fulai walked down quickly, took out the chapter, and finally placed it in front of the emperor.

Li Zhi opened the memorial, glanced sideways at Gao Zhizhou, and then began to study it carefully.

There is not much ink in this chapter, but every word is extremely concise.

Li Zhi looked from Duan Baoxuan, Pei Yan, to Li Xuan, to Xue Yuanchao, and nodded gently.

Although each of the four people asked only one sentence, they actually all asked the core.

The prince's answer was also extremely candid.

In the end, I even regretted it very much.

Looking at the Q&A in this chapter, Li Zhi looked at Gao Zhizhou hesitantly and asked, "What did the imperial censor say?"

After the emperor said a word, Li Xuan bowed her head solemnly.

Gao Zhizhou cupped his hands, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, according to law, there are three hundred armors hidden in the East Palace. If the prince knows about it, no matter what the reason, he should be punished for treason."

Li Zhi's breathing suddenly sank. He looked miserable, looked at the ministers, and said unbearably: "The prince, Taoju, is your direct descendant. He has a heroic appearance, a brilliant character, and a far-reaching divine wisdom.

Although there are villains who cause mischief and deceive people into benevolence and filial piety, it is because of my weak virtues and my vain attempt to spread the foundation of immortality without any boundaries. I think too much, and that is why I have lost my virtue in the East Palace.

Now that the prince has thoughts of repentance, how can he be taught a lesson, or is there no choice? "

"Your Majesty's love for his son is clear to the world, but the law is strict. Even if the prince is guilty, he is also responsible for the common people. Please take the country of the Tang Dynasty as your heart, and make the laws clear and clear for the world." Liu Rengui stood up and said seriously. Hand over.

Li Xuan bowed her head deeply. To be crowned a prince requires three concessions and three concessions, and to depose a prince also requires three doubts and three determinations.

Now the doubt must be over, what remains...

"Okay, that's it for today." Li Zhi suddenly stood up without warning, waved his hand with a livid face, and walked directly to the back hall.

All the ministers were stunned at the same time, but soon they understood everything in their hearts.

"Your Majesty can't bear it after all." Hao Chujun sighed softly, then looked at the ministers and said, "Let's all go back, each to his own home."

"Here!" All the officials in the palace raised their hands at the same time.

Li Xuan glanced at Liu Rengui, who nodded to him.

Li Xuan turned around and left the Qianyuan Hall. Dressed in black clothes and armor, she stood out among the officials.

Just when Li Xuan was about to walk up to Chengtian Gate, Cheng Chubi suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has a decree. From today on, Your Majesty no longer needs to guard the palace gate."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and raised his hands in the direction of Qianyuan Hall: "I accept the order."

Turning around, Li Xuan raised her hand to Cheng Chubi and said, "Thanks to the Duke of Guangping for taking care of me these past few days."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome, Your Majesty, it's time for you to go home." Cheng Chubi nodded and then made way for Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, walked past Cheng Chubi, then walked directly out from the Chengtian Gate, then moved forward and left the palace gate directly.

When I returned to Yulongyuan, sure enough, all my belongings at Shang Yao Bureau had been sent back.

……

Next to the bamboo forest in the backyard, the autumn wind rustled.

Li Xuan sat on the stone bench, clasping her hands.

Why did the emperor suddenly stop?

Li Xuan was surprised, shook her head, and looked in the direction of the East Palace.

Li Xian thought that he should have got the things by now, and now he should be awake enough to use them appropriately.

Li Xuan turned to look at Chang'an. Li Xian was determined to be deposed, and what was left was the fight for the new prince.

Although Li Xian has a great advantage, Beimen Bachelor, Wu Chengsi and others may not give up.

It's okay, the fire starts in Chang'an first.
