Tiantang

Chapter 132
Chapter 142
Princess Yongmu has a very close relationship with King Rong Li Wan. It can be said that among the prince's children of Li Longji, the relationship between the two is very good.Otherwise, Li Wan would not have sneaked into Yongmu's Yongmu temple to hide.And when he arranged the final foothold, he also chose to be around Yongmu Temple, which is enough to explain many problems.

Although Princess Yongmu became a monk after the death of her son-in-law, she is the emperor's eldest princess after all, and has a considerable degree of influence both in the royal family and in the ruling and opposition parties.

But to be honest, Yongmu did not participate in King Rong's rebellion, but after King Rong approached her secretly, she agreed to protect him for a while.In a sense, this can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.

If the emperor wants to be serious, Princess Yongmu cannot escape the crime.

It's a pity that the emperor was so angry that Li Wan had a stroke and fell into a coma, so he didn't have time to think about how to deal with Yongmu.

Zhang Xuan originally intentionally let go of this matter, and did not intend to continue to delve into it.Yongmu must be responsible, but he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. After all, he is the emperor's biological daughter, so there is no need to do everything wrong.

Zhang Xuan didn't want to freeze his relationship with the Li royal family because of his aggressive actions.Although he is not afraid, a too rigid relationship is not conducive to his current development plan after all.

Unexpectedly, this princess Yongmu is so ignorant, but instead she took the initiative to start making trouble.

This group of prince's children was obviously brought into the palace by her - what does she want to do?Is it simply to visit the old emperor to fulfill the filial piety of his children?

Zhang Xuan felt a little absurd.The royal family's affection was incomparably indifferent, and these children of Li Longji probably only respected and flattered the emperor, but had no true father-son affection.

Zhang Xuan's suspicious gaze swept over Yongmu, and landed on Liang Wang Li Xuan who was standing next to Yongmu, who was also full of righteous indignation and fierce attitude. His heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of some hint that the old emperor said before.

This Li Zhen... Could it be that he also coveted the throne?

This is a little funny.

Not everyone can be an emperor. The emperor has many children, but there is only one throne.If everyone is entitled to a share of the pie, the throne is worthless.It's not that the King of Liang is not talented enough, but that his foundation is too shallow and no one supports him. Isn't it ridiculous to say that he wants to compete with Li Heng for the throne?

From Zhang Xuan's heart, he doesn't want to see a prince stand up and become ambitious again, because behind the struggle for imperial power is cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people requires bloodshed, and there is no room for affection.

Whether it is Zhang Xuan, Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong's position, or Li Heng's position, no one is allowed to intervene.For their own political interests, whoever stands up will be suppressed, there is no doubt about it.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that Li Heng was not without means. In order to defend his imperial power, he would not be merciful even if the other party was his younger brother and sister under the premise that he had an advantage.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Zhen with some compassion, and thought to himself that you are forcing Li Heng to do something ruthless, and you are looking for your own death!
Knowing that there is nothing to be done, it probably only shows the unparalleled charm of the throne and supreme power.When Li Sui was convinced that he still had a glimmer of hope, he naturally wanted to take a risk and see if he had a chance of success.

At this time, Yongmu's push directly aroused the ambition in his heart.Of course, this is also related to the emperor's hint to him alone.Knowing that his father intends to pass on the throne to himself, Li Xuan was ecstatic.

But not long after, news came that the old emperor was recuperating and ignoring state affairs and letting the prince supervise the state.This made Li Xuan disheartened, and at the same time guessed that this was Li Heng's attack in advance.

Therefore, he and Yongmu gathered a group of prince's children and broke into the palace, wanting to find out the truth.

Yongmu held some grudges towards Zhang Xuan, so her attitude of speaking must be very unfriendly. She looked at Zhang Xuan with a sneer, "General Zhang is such a big hat! The people in this palace are all His Majesty's own flesh and blood, Your Majesty If you are sick, how can we, as the prince's children, not visit? And you, why should you block it? Why?"

"Where is the father, we want to see the father! Zhang Xuan, you are just a foreign minister, and you are under the imperial confinement. This palace sees you as plotting something wrong!" Li Xuan also reprimanded angrily.

"This officer is ordered to defend the imperial palace and protect your majesty's safety. What is your duty? Why are you afraid of gossip?" Zhang Xuan cast his cold eyes on Li Xuan, "Your majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, and he is taking care of his body in the imperial study. Your highnesses are here Noisy, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you?"

"I am responsible for this official position. No matter who it is, it needs to be approved by His Majesty if it wants to see His Majesty. Your Majesty is not allowed, even if it is a prince or princess, you can't go half a step beyond the thunder pool!" Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Who If you wantonly make noise and cause troubles in the imperial confinement, don't blame me for only recognizing the law and not human feelings!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of ruthlessness.

A guard of the Forbidden House of the Gan Palace took a murderous step forward, with a sword across his waist, and his prestige was not small.

Some of the prince's children shrank back in fear.

"Presumptuous! Zhang Xuan, you are so courageous! I am Your Majesty's Eldest Princess, you, a little general of Habayashi Guard, dare to be rude to me!" Princess Yongmu shouted angrily.

Zhang Xuan ignored Yong Mu, but turned his head to look at Liang Wang Li Zhen quietly, and said softly, "His Royal Highness Liang, Zhang Xuan has a harsh advice, would your Highness listen to it?"

The corner of Li Fan's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously said, "Say it."

"Your Majesty is recuperating, and the crown prince is in charge of the country. This is His Majesty's edict, and it is also supported by important officials in the court. It has become a fact and cannot be changed. I hope His Highness can understand the situation...Your Highness, you can ask yourself, you can be compared to the King Rong of that day." no?"

"King Rong is very powerful, he commanded troops to force the palace, and he ended up with a ruined family, let alone His Highness!"

"One step further is a cliff, and one step back is a vast sea and sky. Now the people of the Tang Dynasty are determined and cannot tolerate any further incidents. The prince is a benevolent king. As long as His Highness is willing to let go, Zhang Xuan can guarantee His Highness's lifelong prosperity and wealth."

"Good medicine is good for the disease, and good advice is good for the ear. I hope His Highness will not be deceived by some people and embark on a road of no return!"

Zhang Xuan spoke very fast, and Li Xuan's expression changed drastically when he heard that.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuan turned his head to look at Princess Yongmu, and said calmly, "Princess Yongmu, you must know how to advance and retreat. Zhang Xuan always thought that His Highness is a person born in the world, but unexpectedly, His Highness still has ambitions."

"Don't you want to spout blood! Zhang Xuan, is there something wrong with me wanting to see the emperor?" Yongmu said angrily.

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Your Highness wants to see His Majesty, of course it is true. But if His Majesty does not see His Highness, it is wrong for His Highness to gather crowds to breed!"

"Come here, get out of the way of the imperial study, I want to see who dares to disobey His Majesty's prohibition and enter without notice!"

Zhang Xuan suddenly yelled and waved his hand.

The palace guards and inner eunuchs who were guarding the entrance of the imperial study abruptly stepped aside and stood on both sides.

"Anyone who dares to disobey the holy order enters without saying anything. I have an ugly saying in front of me. If anyone disturbs His Majesty, His Majesty will blame him. Don't blame this general for being ruthless!"

"Your Highness Yongmu, please."

Zhang Xuan sneered.

Princess Yongmu took a step forward, but hesitated again.As for the others, their expressions were even more complicated, and they stood still and did not move.

"Your Majesty's illness is caused by stagnant anger. For this, you, Princess Yongmu, cannot escape the blame."

Zhang Xuan took a step forward and stared at Princess Yongmu, "King Rong Li Wan feigned death to escape, and was hiding in Yongmu Temple a few days ago. His Majesty was furious when he learned that, and ordered the guards of the Yulin to capture him. King Rong committed suicide, and His Majesty was sad and angry. , just now I can’t afford to be sick.”

"His Majesty's crime of harboring treason has not yet been investigated... You gathered all of you to come down to the palace to cause trouble, but Zhang Xuan asked His Highness Yongmu—is this the filial piety of His Majesty as the eldest princess?"

What Zhang Xuan said made Yongmu's face turn pale, and the faces of other prince's children also changed drastically.

King Rong actually faked his death, had been hiding in Yongmu Temple, and just committed suicide just now... This shocking news made the princes and children who followed him to hear it, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Xuan's shoulders trembled, knowing that he had been fooled by Yongmu.Although he is ambitious, he is not ignorant of current affairs.This time, it was only with the intention of testing.

Seeing that things were far more complicated and weird than he had imagined, he broke out in a cold sweat, cupped his hands at Zhang Xuan, turned his head and walked away with a sullen face.And the other prince's children also rushed away.

Only Princess Yongmu, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was left in a dilemma, with complicated and embarrassed expressions on her face, and even a trace of fear.

Zhang Xuan ignored her and walked away.

For Zhang Xuan, in this game of chess, Princess Yongmu is just an insignificant pawn, and whether she survives or not is irrelevant to the overall situation.Anyway, today she has been deeply warned that if she continues to be obsessed with her own obsession, she will be asking for her own death.

The so-called shooting at the head of the bird-if you fail to seize the opportunity, then no one can blame it.

Before Zhang Xuan took a few steps with the people, he heard a clear female voice calling from behind: "Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, stay, stay!"

Zhang Xuan was startled, turned around, and saw not far away a beautiful woman in a gorgeous palace dress dragging the floor, trotting over from the other side of the palace road, followed by several beautiful palace ladies and The little eunuch, and among the court ladies and eunuchs is the alchemist San Chi Taoist whom Zhang Xuan saw before, also known as San Chi Zi.

Looking at this attire, it is definitely not a concubine, but more like a princess.

As for which princess it was, Zhang Xuan didn't know it.

Li Longji has 30 sons and 31 princesses. Such a large number of princes and children is rare among emperors of all dynasties.

Zhang Xuan stopped and went up to meet him.

The woman stopped out of breath, her beautiful round face had very delicate features, and her big watery eyes rolled around, looking up and down at Zhang Xuan.
