Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 82 Prescribing eye drops (2)

Everyone wants credit, but if it will cause trouble, then it has to be said separately. Obviously, the credit in Yan Desheng's arms now belongs to the latter. It seems that this matter is not so much a merit, but a huge trouble. If one is not careful, the guy who can't eat well will have to move. If this seemingly considerable If the "credit" is evaded, Yan Desheng will never have the slightest hesitation, but unfortunately he can't, not only because the two princes are not easy to mess with, but also because the case is too serious, so that Yan Desheng dare not come out With the slightest risk of going wrong, he had to bite the bullet and take this obviously hot potato.

reason?It's very simple, as the executor of the "Fox Hunting Project", Yan Desheng naturally knows what's going on in the whole case, and how can he really believe the so-called real evidence concocted by the two princes? In his opinion, Those so-called confessions were either fake or tortured, and there was absolutely no half truth in them, but so what?Yan Desheng neither dared nor could question the authenticity of these evidences, because Empress Wu was obviously happy to see the matter end like this. Obviously, it is not clear whether the two princes have other backers. Under such circumstances, Yan Desheng actually did not dare to hand over the dominance of this matter to the hands of the two princes. Only by killing the evidence at hand can he be safe. As for the consequences of this case if it is revealed in the future Well, Yan Desheng can't take care of it anymore. In fact, even if the two princes don't urge him, Yan Desheng is actually eager to settle the case before Yujia. Therefore, even if Yan Desheng seems to be It seems that he is not very willing to take on the responsibility of the chief judge of this case, but there was no delay or hesitation on the way back to the palace. Before dawn, he accompanied Li Xian brothers all the way to the main hall of the palace.

At three o'clock in the morning, the gloomy sky not only did not clear up, but it began to snow. Although it was not too big, the wind became colder and colder. Poor Li Xian and the others were standing on the wind outlet, and they were all blown by the wind immediately. The snow was freezing enough, and he was waiting to see him right now, so he had nowhere to hide, but Yan Desheng didn't care, he had no expression on his fat face, as for Li Xian, he was used to exercising in the wind and snow these days, Under the attack of such sudden wind and snow, although it was a little uncomfortable, he could still hold on. Li Xian, who was used to being pampered, was alone, trembling, and beat a long series of blows. Sneezing, his handsome face was turned pale and blue from the cold, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't get any worse. If he stayed in the cold for a while longer, he might definitely fall ill. Fortunately, the long-awaited oral order finally arrived.

"Your Majesty ordered that Xuanlu King Li Xian, Zhou King Li Xian, and Yan Desheng, the head of Yide Hall, come in to have an audience!"

Just when Li Xian was sneezing and sneezing, Gao Hesheng, the eunuch of Li Xian, led several young eunuchs hurriedly out of the inner hall, stood on the high steps, and proclaimed Gaozong orally.

"My sons and ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing that they had finally obtained Gaozong's will, Li Xian and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went up the steps and rushed towards the inner hall without much conversation. All the way through the main hall, the cloister, to the back hall, just turned around a screen, and saw Gaozong lying on the couch, with several soft cushions under his body, and a thick quilt covering his body, covering his forehead. Wearing a hot towel, her face was haggard and pale, as if she had suffered a serious illness. Empress Wu sat on the side of the couch with a gentle face, as if she was telling Gao Zong Jinzi carefully, Li Xian and others did not dare to pay attention. Look, each rushed forward in a hurry, and Dali saw it.

"The sons and ministers are waiting to meet the emperor father and the empress mother!"

The two Li Xian brothers paid respects side by side. The difference is that Li Xian's voice is calm, while Li Xian's voice is trembling and the volume is pitifully low. At a distance of three steps behind the Li Xian brothers, they did not say hello.

Gaozong's mental state was obviously very poor. Although he heard the greetings of the two younger brothers, he didn't say anything, but raised his arms slightly, and it was over. On the other hand, Empress Wu was very understanding. Di said: "Xian'er and Xian'er have been busy all night, they must be tired, so let's all get up and talk."

"I'm waiting to thank my father and queen mother Long En."

Empress Wu's words sounded plain at first glance, but in fact they were not that simple. There was a hidden trap inside. It was saying that the two Li Xian brothers solved the case last night. The purpose, of course, was for the two Li Xian brothers to come forward and report. The facts of the case, thus placing the responsibility on the two younger brothers, of course, there is also a faint warning, which may not be heard by others, but Li Xian and the two brothers are very shrewd, so naturally they both know it well, but what, do they know it? After all, the younger brothers obviously didn't intend to do what Empress Wu wanted. Xie En was very polite, but after thanking them, the younger brothers stood dumbly and didn't say a word at all.

"Xian'er, was there any progress in the investigation last night?"

Seeing the two brothers who had been silent for a long time, Empress Wu's eyes flashed a flash of vigour, but she didn't look angry at all. She just smiled and asked Li Xian directly. Obviously, Empress Wu In his mind, compared to Li Xian, who is a big kid, Li Xian is obviously a soft persimmon that is easier to pinch.

"After returning to the mother, the child has indeed gained something from waiting under the leadership of Eunuch Yan. Eunuch Yan is the most clear about this matter. However, if there are some omissions in the words of the children and ministers, I implore the father and mother to consult Eunuch Yan." Li Xian naturally understood why Empress Wu had chosen her own name, and a trace of haze immediately rolled over her handsome face, but at this moment, Li Xian had nowhere to vent his anger. Well, Li Xian is a smart person after all, and he would not fall into the bait of Empress Wu because of anger, so he replied with a serious face.

"Oh? Does Xian'er mean the same thing?"

Empress Wu saw that Li Xian was completely evasive, she couldn't help but tremble a little, but in front of Emperor Gaozong, she couldn't explain some things too clearly, so she could only glance at Li Xian coldly, and didn't express her opinion in a hurry, but It was Li Xian who looked sideways and asked indifferently.

"After returning to my mother's words, the ministers who tried the case last night followed the orders of the queen mother, and took charge of the matter with strict eunuchs. The ministers and others fully cooperated, and now they have gained a lot. Although the ministers know the details, they are afraid. If there is a deviation, the sixth brother suggested that Eunuch Yan should take care of it, and I think so." It's good that Empress Wu didn't ask, but after this question, Li Xian immediately put on the eye drops, and took all the responsibilities in his head The ground was all pushed on Yan Desheng's head, in other words, it was all pushed on Empress Wu, and I didn't want to make any articles on this matter, but I just wanted to make Gaozong feel doubtful. However, as for success or failure, Li Xian didn't care too much about it. Anyway, the first goal of getting rid of Zhu Wu's disciples had been achieved. As for the eye drops, it was just a incidental matter.

"Hmm." Empress Wu is not an ordinary person, and her thoughtfulness is rare in the world. As soon as she heard it, she already noticed the little intentions hidden in the seemingly reasonable words of the Li Xian brothers. Changes, but his eyes became sharper, but he just let out a soft groan, and did not express anything else.

"Say, Yan Desheng, tell me clearly, who dares to do such a rebellious thing, just tell, tell, tell!"

The mother and the son were fighting each other, but Gao Zong was impatient to hear the boss on the other side. He felt sorry for the tragic death of the two wives, and was annoyed that he almost died at the banquet. He got up, lifted the quilt, jumped off the couch, pointed at Yan Desheng who was kneeling not far away, and roared angrily.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, this old slave will just say it, just say it." Seeing the power of Gaozong's fury, Yan Desheng was frightened immediately, how could he stand it, hurriedly kowtowed, trembling He took out a stack of confessions from his wide sleeves, held them high above his head, and replied in a rambling voice: "The old servant informs His Majesty that what happened last night was the mastermind of Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun brothers. Expelled from the capital, released as an official, dissatisfied, plotting to assassinate His Majesty and the Empress, the bowl of tofu was secretly poisoned with puffer fish, and it was only because Mrs. Wei interrupted him for a moment that he missed the passenger car. This old servant dare not lie Your Majesty, here are the statements of the two warriors and their servants, please read them."

"Hmph!" Gaozong paced back and forth in front of the couch like an angry lion. After listening to Yan Desheng's report with a gloomy face, he snorted coldly and copied the stack of confessions prepared by the two brothers Li Xian. In his hand, he flipped it rapidly, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became. In the end, he smashed the stack of confessions at Yan Desheng's face fiercely, and roared: "You bastard, it's a shame that I treated him so kindly, and he even avenged him!" Zhisi, how can I tolerate such villains, come on, put everyone on death row, I want them to die! I..."

Gao Zong was already suffering from wind syndrome, and he was frightened again last night. Now his body is weak, and he can't stand too much stimulation. After such a big attack, the long-term illness immediately relapsed. Holding his head and howling miserably, his whole body was crooked and on the verge of falling. Everyone was shocked. Fortunately, Empress Wu had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before Gaozong fell, Empress Wu had already stretched out her hand to support Gaozong's body.

"Quick, send the imperial doctor!"

Seeing that Gaozong's illness was severe, Empress Wu no longer cared about last night's case, and stopped drinking anxiously, and in a split second, the whole hall was in chaos.
