Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 26

Right now, Li Xian lacks a team, a backer, money, military force, etc.Almost everything is lacking, but there is no lack of patience. Others feel that the 12 unbearable pressure of silence has no effect on Li Xian, even if this pressure comes from such a frightening person as Wu Meiniang. Therefore, Although Li Xian's waist was bent uncomfortably, his legs and feet stood extremely firmly, let alone trembling, even if he trembled, he never trembled once.

Silence, still silence, Li Xian had already bowed for a full stick of incense, but what was waiting was still suffocating silence, but Li Xian was still unmoved, because he knew very well that it was not only It is a test of patience, and it is also a test before the confrontation. If Li Xian shows a little panic at this time, what is waiting for him is definitely a stormy attack and scolding from Empress Wu. It's useless to shout against the sky, no one dares to slow down his cheeks in front of the furious Empress Wu, let alone Li Xian, even Gao Zong probably doesn't have the guts. In other words, Li Xian can be said to be It is at the edge of the cliff, there is no other way to go except to grit your teeth and persevere.

"Stay flat."

Wu Meiniang stared at Li Xian for a long time, but she never saw the slightest sign of wavering in Li Xian. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly covered it up, seeing that she couldn't use pressure to force him Li showed his flaws, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, and spoke in a cold voice reluctantly.

"Thank the queen, the child respectfully listens to the mother's instructions."

Li Xian was not lacking in patience, but after bending over for a long time, he felt very uncomfortable. Hearing Empress Wu finally called out, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and looked at Gao with incomparable innocence. Wu Meiniang, who was sitting on the dragon bed, replied respectfully.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, I want to ask you, did the Imperial College offend you when you spoke directly about Yuan Wanqing?" Although Wu Meiniang was surprised by Li Xian's calmness, she still didn't take it seriously, and frowned slightly. Glancing at Li Xian, he asked in a cold tone.

"Empress, I don't know about the child. The child and the Yuan adults have never met before, so there is no enmity at all. There is no way to talk about offending." Li Xianba blinked his big eyes and replied with an innocent look on his face.

"It's hard to talk about it. If that's the case, why are you facing each other with a knife? Are you dissatisfied with my appointment of Yuan Wanqing to give you a lecture?" Wu Meiniang asked with a cold face, not at all moved by Li Xian's innocent appearance.

"Mother Mingjian, how dare my child do this. This fact is unexpected. The child is obsessed with martial arts. He never noticed Master Yuan's arrival. He was unable to stop for a while and frightened Master Yuan. It is all the fault of the child. The child has already reported to Master Yuan. Sin, I have told the truth, and I dare not lie to my mother." Li Xian knew that Empress Wu would ask such a question, so he prepared his answer early, and at this moment, seeing Empress Wu, he unabashedly wanted to find a place for Yuan Wanqing. , Immediately yelled for Qu Tianqu, his words were scorching and impeccable, as if it was Li Xian who had really been wronged.

"Learning martial arts? Are you practicing martial arts properly?"

If Wu Meiniang was a little surprised by Li Xian's calmness before, Li Xian's clear words would have surprised Wu Meiniang. You must know that in Wu Meiniang's mind, Li Xian is just a child who can't grow up , cowardly and incompetent, but there is still a trace of childish image in this calm and fluent answer, which makes Wu Meiniang have to be a little more careful when she reprimands her.

Li Xian saw Wu Meiniang's reaction, how could he not know that his performance had aroused Empress Wu's suspicion? In short, the reason is very simple. As far as Empress Wu is shrewd, even if Li Xian pretends to be stupid, he can't pretend for too long. As long as Li Xian wants to develop his own power, he will show his feet sooner or later. Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to act now. Showing a little ferociousness is also a good way to lay the groundwork for her future performance. Besides, after the prison case, the entire plan of Empress Wu has been disrupted. Before she can win the hearts of the prime ministers, she is no longer able to As in his previous life, he immediately came to the court to govern, and this rare and stable time was exactly the room for development that Li Xian needed. Therefore, Li Xian was not afraid to show his ability a little bit.

"When you go back to your mother, baby, baby..."

Faced with Empress Wu's pressing approach, Li Xian deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and hesitated to tell the truth.

"Ok?"

As expected by Li Xian, Wu Meiniang snorted when she saw that Li Xian seemed to have something unspeakable hidden, and did not give Li Xian a chance to dodge.

"Mother, you know that a child is inherently stupid and has limited aptitude in literary matters. Even if he studies hard, it is difficult for him to achieve great success. Every time the child thinks about it, he is extremely ashamed. When he reads "Book of the Later Han", he feels that Huo The champion wiped out the prestige of the Hulu, and thought about the feat of the super-throwing pens and serving in the army. The child yearned for it, and thought that the prince and sixth brother were all well-educated people, and the child was far behind, and the text could not help the father and the emperor. After working hard in martial arts, I immediately developed the heart to practice martial arts. Ten days ago, my boy asked Li Taishi about this puzzle, and Li Taishi did not give up. He deduced it for him. The chance is [-]%, my child thinks [-]% chance is small, but there is still a day when I can help my father and mother, this is convenient for the mansion to practice weapons, but it is a pity that the unknown teacher pointed out, but it still doesn't make sense, and my ministers panic." Seeing Wu Meiniang entangled Li Xian was secretly happy about the matter of practicing martial arts, but his face was full of panic. He talked a lot, expressed his position, and reasoned. Pull it out and wave it.

Not to mention, Li Xian's words are quite touching. Not only did the faces of several prime ministers show appreciation, but Gaozong also looked at Li Xian with a little more tenderness in his eyes. It's just that everyone dared not speak up for Li Xian because of Wu Meiniang's presence.

"Father and mother, the child thought that there was nothing wrong with the seventh younger brother Xiang Wu. Today, the surrounding area of ​​our Tang Dynasty is restless. Every time we go to war, Xiang Wu's heart is indispensable. Moreover, the prince's elder brother is proficient in literature, and the child can also understand a little bit. , Dudu has lost the spirit of conquest, it is a good thing that the seventh younger brother is willing to join the army, and he should choose a famous teacher for the seventh younger brother to teach, and in the future, we may add a good king to protect the country in the Tang Dynasty." Others dare not speak. However, Li Xian was not afraid, not only because he had promised Li Xian to help him, but also because Zhang Dekai's death had deeply stimulated his heart, and he couldn't get out of his breath, so he snatched it regardless. Stand up and openly support Li Xian before Wu Meiniang expresses her opinion.

"Xian'er's words are justified." Gaozong himself was also yearning for the military career of gold and iron horses. He wanted to conquer Goguryeo himself in his early years. Unfortunately, his health has always been poor. The officials firmly opposed his imperial conquest. That's all, at this moment, seeing that the two sons were both right, he couldn't help affirming it, but seeing Wu Meiniang's expression was unhappy, Gaozong immediately stopped and said: "It's just, ah, it's just..."

Gao Zong was not a very clever person at all, how could such a temporary change of words be done smoothly, "just" for a long time, he couldn't just do it for a reason, and the embarrassment on his face made everyone want to laugh, but this is just a word of mouth , who would dare to laugh out loud, there was nothing they could do, the crowd could only hold back and feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, it's not good for Xian'er to have a heart for Wu, but all the generals have their own business, how can they be distracted by such trivial matters as teaching Xian'er, we should postpone discussing this matter." Wu Meiniang looked at him While talking about the topic, he changed the tune. Originally, he wanted to reprimand Li Xian for being rude to the instructor, but now it has turned into choosing a famous general for Li Xian to teach martial arts. He is extremely annoyed in his heart. It was obvious that he had succeeded so easily, so he interrupted.

"Ah, that's right, it's better to discuss this matter later, later." Gao Zong was always afraid of guilt, but when he heard that Wu Meiniang had spoken, he immediately opened his mouth according to Wu Meiniang's wishes.

Reconsideration?Discuss again!Royal Father, Royal Father, can you be any more cowardly?Seeing Gaozong succumbed to Empress Wu's lust again, Li Xian was completely disappointed with Gaozong, and despised his father viciously in his heart, but he didn't intend to end the matter just like that.

"Father, my son thinks that my mother has taught me the right thing. All the generals have their own important tasks. How can I be distracted by such a trivial matter as my son Xiang Wu? If I miss the important military affairs because of this, my son will die forever. However, my son I have a problem, and I beg your father and mother for your permission." As soon as Gao Zong finished speaking, Li Xian took a step forward and remonstrated loudly.

"Oh? What else does Xian'er have to say? I just listen to it." Seeing that Li Xian refused to give up, Gaozong frowned involuntarily. After pondering for a while, he still withstood Empress Wu's message. Due to the pressure coming, Li Xian's request was not directly dismissed.

"I told my father and mother that my child thinks that practicing martial arts is important for oneself. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice lies with the individual. Since ancient times, most of the famous generals did not come from famous families. On the contrary, there are many heroes in the grass. , Xue Rengui and other veteran veterans for guidance, but it is enough to have a school lieutenant who understands the military strategy." As soon as Gaozong opened his mouth, Li Xian immediately hit the snake with the stick and said impassionedly.

"Oh? That's it. I don't know who my son likes. Let me tell you." When Gao Zong heard that Li Xian only intended to worship the school captain as his teacher, his curiosity immediately arose, and he asked with a smile.

"If I go back to my father, I don't know who I should worship as a teacher right now. Li Taishi only said that if I let my son go to Zuo Xiaowei, I will definitely get something. I really dare not lie to my father." Seeing that the situation has been controlled by himself Skillfully controlled, the big rock in Li Xian's heart finally fell to the ground, but he still didn't intend to expose the target prematurely, but just carried out the big banner of Li Chunfeng again and waved it.

"Well, that's how it is." Gaozong had always been convinced of Li Chunfeng's ability. Hearing this was Li Chunfeng's confession, he didn't feel suspicious, but he didn't dare to accept it. Instead, he said something noncommittal, and then cast his eyes on Seeing Wu Meiniang, she tentatively said, "Meiniang, what do you think of this matter?"

As soon as Gaozong's words came out, all the people in the hall focused their attention on Wu Meiniang, wanting to hear what Wu Meiniang could say about this matter.
