Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 594 Domineering Means
"Your Majesty, Xian'er has just come back, and the dust has not been washed. I think he is very tired. Why don't you let him go to rest early, and we can discuss anything in the future."

Before Li Xian could say thank you, Empress Wu had already interrupted Gaozong's conversation by interrupting Gaozong's words, making it clear that he didn't want Li Xian to get involved in the Eastern Palace's treason case, because the inside story of the case was too difficult to scrutinize. Although it is true that Li Xian himself committed a crime, it is absolutely impossible to expose the fact that Empress Wu set Li Xian up. Empress Wu also didn't want to be scolded by people pointing at her spine all day long.

"That's it, uh..."

Gao Zong was a fearful master, and had never been able to resist Empress Wu's words. When he heard Empress Wu speak, he hesitated.

"Empress Mother, the child is not tired, I just want to visit Sixth Brother first, and ask for permission from Emperor Father and Empress Mother."

During the war in the Eastern Palace, although Li Xian was far away in Tubo, he had the sharp weapon of "Ming Di", so he knew the cause and effect of the whole incident, and also knew what role Empress Wu played in it, and he knew exactly what Empress Wu was worried about at this time Even though Li Xian had no intention of reversing Li Xian's case at all, he did not intend to accept Empress Wu's "good intentions", so he did not wait for Gaozong to make a decision, so he hurriedly pleaded again.

"That's very good, then it's settled, I'll give you a decree, go and have a look."

Gao Zong was really eager to save his son, it was rare that Li Xian was willing to come forward, he didn't want to be disturbed by Empress Wu again, and he didn't give Empress Wu a chance to speak again, some sons couldn't wait to come to a conclusion.

"I thank my father, Emperor Long En."

The reason why Li Xian wanted to save Li Xian's life was not because of brotherhood. Although this is also a factor, it is more because he is acting for Gaozong and the world. What he wants is the "benevolence and righteousness" The reputation of benevolence and righteousness is not a good thing, but ordinary people like to hear it. If the high-ranking person is not covered by this big banner, his appearance will be too ugly. Therefore, he should show off his reputation. The last time, Li Xian would never miss it. Now Xie Qien was fast and excited, as if he had really received a great favor, Gao Zong was so moved that his eye circles turned slightly red.

Empress Wu was obviously quite dissatisfied with Gaozong's decision, and also very annoyed at Li Xian's insistence on intervening in the Donggong conspiracy. The look in Li Xian's eyes could not help but be a little bit more evil and hazy - with Empress Wu's shrewdness, Gao Zong's careful thinking has already been seen clearly, the reason why he has not made any big moves these days It's just because Empress Wu believes that Li Xian will never be willing to save Li Xian's life. The reason is very simple. No one who is a prince will be happy to see the deposed prince still alive in this world. From Empress Wu's point of view, Li Xian There will be no exceptions. For the sake of his family's future, what Li Xian should adopt is to ignore the Donggong case. In this way, Li Xian can reap the benefits, and Empress Wu can erase Li Xian. This unsightly son, both parties can have their own convenience, but they did not expect Li Xian to insert his hand in the case so blatantly. Next, Empress Wu did not dare to forcefully stop her, but the evil thoughts in her heart arose..."The next official orders Lu Sinan to be sentenced to prison. .”

As the saying goes, saving people is like putting out a fire, so there is no delay at all. After staying in the palace for more than half an hour, Li Xian finally got the Gaozong imperial decree transferred from his subordinates. The prison sent a personal soldier to report, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from the prison officer, only a prison officer led a few prison chiefs to rush out from the prison.

"Excuse me, where is Wang Si prison?"

Li Xian is no stranger to the Imperial Prison. In the early years, he had a lot of troubles in this Imperial Prison. He killed many people from Dali Temple back and forth, but it was also because Li Xian was so hard at the beginning. Somewhat later, in order to "put order out of chaos", Empress Wu suddenly changed the staff of Dali Temple and the imperial prison. Now this group of people was newly added by Li Xian after he left the Eastern Capital, but Li Xian was all of them. I don't know, it is impossible to open the door of convenience. Of course, there is no need for the imperial decree, but even though the imperial decree is in hand, if you want to go to prison, you have to wait for the prison governor to accept the decree Only then can he enter, and when he saw that there was only one criminal officer coming to greet him, a bad premonition came to his heart, but Li Xiancheng's mansion is very deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, just Asked calmly.

"If you go back to His Highness, it's really a coincidence that Wang Siyu has a sudden illness, and he has already asked for leave to go home and take care of him."

Lu Sinan is a newly transferred official from the local government. He has never seen Li Xian's face, but he has heard of Li Xian's ruthlessness. , the whole person still trembled involuntarily, but he didn't dare not answer, he could only grit his teeth and explain it boldly.

acute disease?Hehe, what a sudden illness, the old thief's hands and feet are really fast!Who is Li Xian, how could he be deceived by such false rumors that he could tell at a glance, without having to change his mind, he could guess 100% that Empress Wu was behind it. It's all about Li Xian.

"Oh, so that's the case. Did Wang Si Prison tell anyone to be in charge of the prison affairs?"

Although he had guessed the hidden story behind it, Li Xian didn't intend to tell the truth. He just smiled and asked indifferently.

"Oh, this is not the case. Wang Siyu left in a hurry, and he never confessed. The official was not present at the time, so I don't know much about it. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The order Lu Sinan received was to delay, so he naturally pushed and pretended to be confused, but because of his guilty conscience, the flattering smile on his face was a bit too stiff, it was really ugly.

"So, in this prison, Lu Ti has the highest rank of criminal officer? I'm not wrong, huh?"

According to common sense, Li Xian is the prince, and he came to visit by order. All the officials of Dali Temple and the presiding judge of the East Palace case should come to greet him, but it is okay not to come, after all, Li Xian is here It's just a visit, not taking over the case. It is legally acceptable for the officials not to come, but in this way, it will be more difficult for Li Xian to find someone who can take over the order. There is no doubt that this is Empress Wu. It's a ghost behind the scenes, but Li Xian has never been a master who plays cards according to common sense. It is really difficult for Li Xian to fail such a trivial matter, but seeing Li Xian smiled slightly, he nodded casually, and then Asked down.

"This, hehe, Your Highness laughed, laughed."

Hearing Li Xian's strange question, Lu Sinan couldn't help but be taken aback. He couldn't figure out what Li Xian's intentions were for a while, so he just laughed and said something casually, neither admitting nor denying it. , came a ambiguity.

"That's good. I'm going to visit Seventh Brother according to the order. Since Wang Siyu is not here, Lu Tixing can accept the imperial edict. What are you still doing in a daze? Go, lay out the incense table and other things, and I'm going to announce the edict!"

Li Xian himself is an ancestor who played tricks, so how could he be fooled by such a small person as Lu Sinan, and regardless of whether he is the highest official in the prison at the moment, he directly ordered him to prepare for the order, "Ah... ...this, this, this..."

Lu Sinan is just a small official of the ninth rank, he can't rank anywhere, and he really doesn't have the qualifications to accept the order. Seeing that Li Xian gave the order regardless, he was immediately dumbfounded and ended up Stuttering and not knowing what to say.

"What? Is Lu Tixing planning to resist the decree, huh?"

Li Xian doesn't care whether Lu Sinan is wronged or not, all he wants is someone to accept the order, as long as the order is announced, no one can prevent Li Xian from stepping into the gate of the imperial prison, as for whether Lu Sinan is qualified to accept the order, Then Li Xian ignored it. Seeing that Lu Sinan couldn't tell the reason for a long time, Li Xian immediately put on a serious face and scolded him unceremoniously.

"Ah, Your Highness, please calm down, Your Highness, please calm down, my lord... Your lord, let's get ready now, let's get ready now."

The evil spirit on Li Xian was sharpened from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Even if it released just a little bit, it was not something Lu Sinan could bear. Seeing Li Xianyao going crazy, Lu Sinan's body immediately trembled wildly, and the words of evasion came to his mouth. On the other side, he didn't dare to go on, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Wait a minute, Lu Tixing is waiting here, you guys go and prepare the incense case, give you a quarter of an hour, if there is a mistake, the military law will deal with it!"

While Lu Sinan replied, he was about to retreat into the prison, but Li Xian obviously didn't intend to let him retreat, he waved his hand, stopped him from retreating, pointed to the several prison bosses who followed, and his expression turned solemn dead order.

"promise!"

The cell bosses are all people who obey orders, so they don't know what kind of drama the bosses are playing. At this moment, although they feel that something is wrong with the situation, they don't dare to say more, let alone talk to Li. It was obvious that these evil stars were fighting indiscriminately, so they could only respectfully agree to leave, and after a while, they had all the incense tables and other things neatly prepared.

"Eunuch Chen, I'm tired."

When all the people were busy, Li Xian always kept a straight face, until everything was ready, Li Xian's expression calmed down a little, and he turned his head and made a gesture of invitation to the accompanying eunuch, who was very pleased He gave a polite order.

"promise!"

The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree had already been dazed by Li Xian's domineering tactics, and was standing at the side dumbly. Hearing Li Xian's call, he dared not neglect the slightest, and hurried With a reply, he quickly rushed to the back of the incense table, fake coughed a few times, and proclaimed the decree in a dragging tone.
