Chapter 3 Life and Death in the Two Heavens

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was romantic all his life. He asked for a lot of women, but there were not many children. There were only eight sons and four daughters born in the world. Among them, Princess Anding's fate was the most tragic. Only one month after birth, he was strangled to death by the Empress Wu, and the eldest son Li Zhong was deposed in the sixth year of Yonghui. After the throne of the crown prince, she was just given death a few months ago, not counting the princess Taiping who had not yet been born. At present, there are only seven sons and two daughters. Taiban is the queen of Wu - 14-year-old fifth son Li Hong, twelve-year-old sixth son Li Xian, ten-year-old seven son Li Xian and three-year-old eight son Li Xulun. The smartest of the sons is Li Xian - Li Xian. The word is Mingyun, the sixth son of Emperor Gaozong. He is young and intelligent. He is five years old and able to write, and at the age of seven. He has the ability to never forget. He has been praised by the ministers. His talent can be said to be outstanding, but his personality is too strong and the quantity is slightly small. Whenever he encounters, he will sing.

Although Li Xian is a talented young man, Li Xian has never liked Li Xian as an elder brother. This is the case in his previous life and this life. Every time the two brothers meet, they always have to make some unhappiness. Generally speaking, it is the domineering Li Xian who provokes the conflict, but in the end, it is often the weak Li who suffers. Xian, if in the past, Li Xian scolded him like this, Li Xian would not be willing to show weakness and had to scold him. After a quarrel, Li Xian, who was not good at arguing, most of them ended up crying. However, today Li Xian's heart was in chaos. He really didn't want to quarrel with Li Xian, and he didn't want to provoke anything at this time, so he nodded lightly. Without saying a word, he walked to Li Hong's soft couch and stood with his hands down, as if he had never heard Li Xian's accusations.

"Well, I have suffered from the wind and cold. This is laziness. Since I know that I am weak, why don't you practice, mediocre!"

Seeing that Li Xian was not angry, Li Xian suddenly had a sense of loss that he punched the empty place. His face couldn't help but begloomy. He stared at Li Xian and reprimanded him relentlessly.

Boring! Today's Li Xian is no longer the original Li Xian. With the memory of three generations, how can he be angered by the tricks of Li Xian and other children playing at home? He didn't even bother to look at Li Xian and stood quietly.

"Six brother, how can you say that? The seventh brother is not well. I should be more considerate as a brother."

Li Xian didn't speak, but Li Hong, who leaned on the soft couch, couldn't stand it - Li Hong has always been weak and often lying in bed. What he can't hear most is the word "weak". Hearing Li Xian's words, it is clear that he has the intention to sweep it in. Even if Li Hong is softer, he can't stand it. Then he frowned and said unhappily.

"What the prince said is true, but the seventh brother has always been lazy. As an elder brother, I should also give some one or two. Otherwise, it will not be appropriate for my heavenly family." As soon as Li Hong opened his mouth, Li Xian found that his previous words were quite inappropriate, but Li Xian was strong and did not intend to apologize for it. Besides, Li Xian did not like Li Hong, the sick prince brother, and refused to bow his head, so he replied extremely toughly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Li Hong was not good at arguing with others. The more he listened to Li Xian's words, the more confused he became, and his heart was even more unhappy. His anger surged up, his face turned red, and he couldn't help coughing and gasping.

Fight, fight, fight! What's the matter with the dispute? Alas, what can you two fight for? If you fight, you haven't been killed by your mother with a glass of poisoned wine. In the end, you will take advantage of Li Dan for nothing! Li Xian was full of unwillingness to participate in the dispute between the two brothers. Besides, at present, he had not figured out how to go next. He had no intention to pay attention to these quarrels. However, when he thought of the tragic death of his two brothers in the future was almost the same, his unbearable heart suddenly rose, and he smiled bitterly. He shook his head and stood up and said, "Brother Prince, the sixth brother is also for the good of the younger brother. The younger brother should change it if he has it, and encourage him if he doesn't."

"If there is, change it, and if there is nothing, encourage it? Well, well said, Zeng Ziyun: I will save my body three times a day. That's exactly what I mean. The seventh brother has made progress in his homework recently. Good, very good." Li Hong has always been easy to learn. This time, Li Xian's words were extraordinary. First, he was stunned, and then he stroked his hands and shouted. He completely forgot the previous dispute with Li Xian - "If there is, change it, if there is nothing, it will be encouraged" is from Zhu Xi's "Collection" in the Song Dynasty. At this time, not to mention Zhu Xi, even Zhu Xi's grandfather's grandfather has not yet been born. At this time, Li Xian, a real ordinary figure in the past, is really refreshing.

Damn it, you spill the beans! Hearing Li Hong's admiration for this, Li Xian was stunned first, and then suddenly realized that he had plagiarized a handful of future generations. He couldn't help but be ashamed and quickly thanked him, "Brother Prince is overreputed. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Li Xian obviously didn't expect that his brother, who had always been mediocre, could say such philosophical words. He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to sneer. But when the words came to his mouth, he found that there was no way to refute it. He had to stop, shook his big sleeves, calm his face, and ignored Li Hong. The two brothers had a very happy conversation.

"Changing it, changing it, adding encouragement, adding encouragement..." Li Xian calmed down, but Li Xulun, who was held in his arms by the nursing mother, became excited and shouted with his hands and feet. The proud little look made all the brothers laugh. The hall was originally like a sword. The dull atmosphere also dissipated.

"Wait..." The princes laughed a little louder. Li Zhi, who was in the back hall, was immediately shocked. Looking back, the sons laughed happily. He was suspicious and opened his mouth to ask what was going on. But before he finished speaking, he saw a maid of honor rush out of the apse rushing out of the apse and her mouth. He shouted, "I'm born, I'm born. Congratulations to your majesty on getting a princess. Mother and daughter are safe."

"Ah..." Li Zhi suddenly turned around and looked at the panting little maid with surprise and joy. His mouth was open. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, it's safe. Since the mother and daughter are safe, I will make the little princess the Princess Taiping. I want to amnesty the world. Come here, draw up the decree, quickly. , the purpose!"

"Congratulations, Father."

"He Xi's father."

......

As soon as the three princes heard that they had a younger sister, they were all cheered up. When they saw that their father was so happy, they did not dare to neglect them. They came forward one after another and congratulated them in unison.

The purpose? Why is it so urgent to grant amnesty to the world? Oh, yes, that's it! Although Li Xian also followed several brothers to congratulate him, he turned a corner more than the two brothers. After thinking for a while, he had guessed what his father's intention was - all for a person, and this person was Shangguan Yi, the servant of the Chinese book.

Shangguan Yi, a native of Shaanxi County, was born in Jiangdu. His father Shangguan Hong once served as the deputy superintendent of Jiangdu Palace. Later, he died in Yu Culture and the Rebellion. Shangguan Yi was young and was exempted from hiding. After growing up, he wandered the book, especially the Three Discussions, and also dabbled in the history of scriptures, and was good at writing. In the first year of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (627 A.D.), Shangguan Yi was valued by Yang Rengong, who was the governor of Yangzhou at that time, and was recommended to Chang'an, the capital to participate in scientific examination. Shangguan Yi was a scholar in the two strategies of "seeking virtuous policy" and "using torture and fierce strategy". He was awarded the direct bachelor of Hongwen School and moved the secretary. After Gao Zong's accession to the throne, he was appointed as the prince in the first year of Xianqing (the sixth year of the sixth year of A.D.), and was appointed as the minister of the governor in the fourth year of Xianqing (in 6,000 A.D.). In the first year of Long Shuo (A.D. 66). One year) was appointed as the servant of Zhongshu, and in the second year of Longshuo (62 A.D.), he was appointed as the servant of Huangmen and the third grade (prime minister) of Tongzhong Shumen.

Shangguan Yi is outstanding in talent, and her personality is straightforward and dares to admonish her. In August of the first year of Lin De, when the Empress Wu was pregnant and was recuperating in the palace, Shangguan Yi secretly wrote to Gao Zong Li Zhi, talking about the exclusive power of the Empress Wu, which was unfavorable to the country. When it should be abolished, Gao Zong was deeply convinced. He secretly ordered Shangguan Yi to draw up and prepare for the abolition of the post. How could it be secret and the eunuch in the palace. The official informs that when Wu Hou learned about this, she was furious and bypassed Gao Zong and happened to take Shangguan Yi's family to justice. The third trial has passed, and after the beginning of the spring, the whole family will be killed.

Although Gao Zong Li Zhi was cowardly by nature, he was not an unreasonable person. Li Zhi did not agree with the killing of Shangguan Yi Manmen. He was just afraid of the inside and did not dare to publicly exonerate Shangguan Yi. The reason why he was in a hurry to issue an edict to amnesty the world when Wu Hou gave birth to a daughter was to take this opportunity to seek a plan for Shangguan Yi's family. The way of life.

Because of his age, there is not much intersection between Li Xian and Shangguan Yi at this time, but he has seen a few times at the end of the year when he feasted with his ministers. However, he has read a lot of Shangguan Yi's poems, and he also appreciates his demeanor, and has a lot of pity for his unjust death. At that time, Li Xian was the second The first redress case issued after the second accession to the throne was to overturn the case for Shangguan Yi, which was posthumously sealed as a Chinese calligraphy order. The "the past" is still vivid in my mind. Now with such an opportunity to personally rescue Shangguan Yi, Li Xian does not want to miss it.

What should I do, do it or not? Li Xian did want to save Shangguan Yi's life in his heart, but he was worried that this move would cause the endless anger of the Empress Wu. If he was not saved, he would lose his own life, it would not be worth it. After all, Li Xian had learned a lot in the powerful previous life of the Empress Wu, even if he lived a period of eunuch sea in the later life of Li Sheng. Ya, Li Xian is not sure at all that he can wrench his wrist with the ruthless Wuhou. At least in the current situation, Li Xianshi does not have such ability.

A man should do something and do something. Since God has given a chance to start over and don't try the last time, won't he live up to this rebirth? At the moment when the chamberlain was going to recruit, Li Xian fought fiercely with all kinds of thoughts in his heart. At the end, Li Sheng's way of thinking in later generations prevailed. Li Xian planned to bet once to see if he could change his tragic fate in the future!

"To tell my father, I think that the amnesty for the world is a kindness of my father. My father is kind, and I dare not fall behind. Now there are many prisoners in the imperial prison. I am willing to ask for orders to promote the benevolence of my father and benevolence and beg my father." Seeing that the chamberlain had drawn up the edict and used the jade seal, Li Xian could no longer be silent. He flashed out from the side and asked for his order loudly.

"This..."

Gaozong Li Zhi had the intention to take the opportunity to release Shangguan Yi. Otherwise, he would not have ordered the proposal so urgently. However, after the edict was drawn up, Li Zhi was worried about gains and losses. He hesitated to decide whether to promulgate this edict immediately. Besides, according to the Tang Dynasty system, the edict was not The words of the provincial department did not have legal effect. However, the current waiter is Xu Jingzong, a hardcore descendant. Li Zhi was not sure that he could make Xu Jingzong attach this edict. When he was worried, he suddenly saw Li Xian coming out to admonish, and he couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Seventh brother, don't mess around!"

Li Zhi didn't say anything, but Li Xian stood up from the side, pointed at Li Xian rudely, and scolded him.

"Seventh brother, my father has his own opinion, and the major events in the court should not be nonsense."

Li Hong obviously did not agree with Li Xian's proposal. He rarely took the same position as Li Xian, but left a little room for Li Xian in his words.

"Father, I would like to go, please give me permission."

No matter what the two brothers said, Li Xian was not moved and spoke further with his neck.

"Well..."

Li Zhi has never been an independent person. When he saw that the three sons did not agree, he couldn't help but have an idea. Look at this and look at that. His mouth was not small, but he didn't say a word for a long time...
