Chapter 4 Two Heavens of Life and Death

Is it reckless? It seems to be a little bit. Compared with Li Xian's desire to hide in the past, today's self-spontent behavior is indeed Meng Lang. Of course, if possible, Li Xian actually does not want to be exposed to the sight of the Queen Wu so early. This is not only because of the consideration of strength, but also because Li Xian himself has not been able to Make an accurate positioning for yourself. In other words, Li Xian has not been able to completely integrate three different careers or three different souls. It is not suitable to participate in such court events at this moment, but unfortunately, Li Xian has the hardships of having no choice.

The cause of Shangguanyi's death, the history of his unjust death and the symbolic significance after his death may not be clear to others, but Li Xian, who has experienced it once, knows it very well - from the surface, Shangguan Yi is because Xu Jingzong, the important minister of the post-party, wrote that Shangguan Yi and the deposed prince Li Zhong conspired to rebel, and was ordered by the Empress Wu. The whole family was killed, but in fact, Shangguan Yi was framed by Xu Jingzong by Wuhou for helping Gao Zong to abolish the imperial edict.

In the last life, Gao Zong Li Zhi also made a lot of efforts to save Shangguan Yi's life. He wanted to give an edict to amnesty the world when the queen was unable to govern. Unfortunately, Xu Jingzong rejected the edict on the name of the princess's birth was not enough to perform an amnesty. Even if Gao Zong talked to Xu Jingzong in person, it was also useless. For three days in a row, Xu Jingzong reluctantly agreed to attach his signature, but at that time, Shangguan Yi's family had been secretly/cuttled in prison the day before. Li Zhi's efforts were completely empty. After this incident, the disheartened Li Zhi became decadent, and the power of the court gradually fell into the hands of the military queen. Therefore, it can be said with certainty that the death of Shangguanyi is a benchmark signal for the power of the court to accelerate from Gaozong to Wuhou.

Li Xian has always appreciated the talent of Shangguan Yi. It was the same in his previous life and the same in this life, but this is not the main reason for his rash rise. The real reason is that Li Xian does not want to see that the Empress Wu completely grasp of the situation of the dynasty. He needs enough time to lay a solid foundation for himself. According to Li Sheng's thinking In a way, Shangguan Yi can't die. He can die under the horse's hoofs, he can die from a sudden illness, or even from assassination, but he can't die from Gao Zong's helplessness. In the previous life, Li Xian, who also experienced this matter, chose to sit and watch silently, but this time Li Xian did not want to remain silent anymore. In order to change his tragic fate in the future, Li Xian chose to take the initiative to make a change, just to see if the wings of the butterfly could set off a storm that changed his own fate!

It's natural to be anxious. Seeing that his father didn't make a decision for a long time, Li Xian was very anxious, but he did not dare to make further progress. Because the previous self-voluted courage had aroused the suspicion of his two brothers, Li Xian did not want to be in the limelight and became the standard of the two brothers. Target, in addition, Li Xian is well aware of his father's nature. If he says too clearly, he can't help Gao Zong make a decision, but will scare him back. That's counterproductive. Therefore, no matter how anxious he is, Li Xian can only grit his teeth and endure it, quietly waiting for Gao Zong to make a decision.

"What Xian'er said is quite reasonable, but Xu Shizhong..."

Gao Zong Li Zhi obviously understood the unfinished words in Li Xian's words - bypassing the normal procedure, first creating a fait accompli, and then coming to court lawsuit. At that time, because of the confinement of the Empress Wu, the Hou Party is bound to be unable to obtain the effective support of the Empress Wu. It is really difficult for the court to say who will win and who will lose, that is, It doesn't matter if you lose. You can't catch the person who has been pardoned again. After all, the face of the Tian family is still wanted. In this way, the life of Shangguan Yi's family can be saved. At most, it can only be given a border and never used punishment. Compared with the consequences of Shangguan Yi's full door beheading, it is already I don't know how many times stronger it is. It's a pity that Li Zhi's cowardice is brought out of his bones. Even if he understands the key, he still dares not let go. After wandering around in place for a long time, only half of the words came out.

Oh, father, father, can you always be more cowardly? A good emperor is always treated like this by you! As soon as he heard Li Zhi's words, Li Xian's heart immediately sank to the bottom. He wanted to shout loudly. Unfortunately, he wanted to think about it, but he couldn't do it like this - a recklessness can be said, and amazing words came out one after another, which is to seek his own way to die. Therefore, even if there is any unwillingness in his heart, Li Xian also I could only endure it, lower my head, and not look at Gao Zong's confused face.

Gao Zong's fear of Xu Jingzong can be said to have a long history. Here is not only because Xu Jingzong himself, as the right minister and a servant of the province, but also because behind Xu Jingzong is standing behind such a mountain as Wu Mei Niang. Of course, Xu Jingzong's own tricky character is also one of Gao Zong's scruples. Important factor - Xu Jingzong, Zi Yan nationality, a native of Hangzhou Xincheng. There are few literary names. In the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, he was a scholar and was awarded the judicial scholar of Huaiyang County. Soon, he entered the platform and served as a matter of affairs. After his father Xu Shanxin was killed by Yu Wenhua, Xu Jingzong joined the Li Mi Wagang Uprising Army and was the record room of the Marshal's Mansion. After the failure of the Wagang Army, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Later, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard his name and was summoned as a bachelor of the Literature Museum. He has served as a scholar, Wei Weiqing, a minister of ceremony and other important positions. He was famous for his good governance history. In the six years of Yonghui, he was favored because of supporting Wu Mei Niang as the latter. The officials worshipped the middle, and then added the right title. He was sinister and fierce. All the officials in the court were afraid of, that is, Gao Zong himself treated Xu Jingzong. There is also some helplessness.

"Father, the amnesty of the world is the benevolence of my father. You should do it quickly. The child is not talented. I would like to go to the province to contact this matter and beg my father for approval." Li Xian was originally unaccustomed to Xu Jingzong's 120,000 points. At this time, when he saw Gao Zong's words, his heart was immediately angry. In addition, there was an example of Li Xian's previous words. Li Xian was unwilling to lag behind and volunteered for his life.

"Well, it's okay. It's okay for the virtuous to go, but it's better not to quarrel." Li Zhi looked at Li Xian hesitantly, and then at the other two sons next to him. After hesitating for a long time, he took a breath and reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's request, but in the end, he was still worried that Li Xian would make a big deal out of it, so he thought about it.

"Don't worry, father, the child will go back." Although Li Xian is twelve years old, he has begun to get involved in government affairs. However, because of his identity problems, he has acted secretly in the past and never dared to participate openly. This time, he got a serious reason and was very excited. He did not carefully consider the stakes behind the whole matter at all. He rushed to answer and came out with the imperial edict. In the hall, he led several little eunuchs to rush to the front court.

No, absolutely no! Looking at Li Xian's hurried back, although Li Xian hoped that Li Xian could get the matter done, he told him rationally and clearly that this matter could not be done. Not only could it not be done, but it would scare the snake. Although he wanted to mention it, he looked at those eunuch maids who served in the hall, Li Xian was still very wise. The ground swallowed the words of advice back into his stomach.

As Li Xian expected, Li Xian went quickly and came back faster. Before the inner hall took Princess Taiping out, Li Xian rushed back angrily. A childish little face was red and purple. Just like that, you don't need to ask, you can know how painful the stuffy stick Li Xian suffered this time. Here, the light of expectation in Gao Zong's eyes faded in an instant.

"Father, Xu Shizhong him, he..., hum!" Li Xian walked to the dragon table angrily and put the rolled up imperial edict on the table with a red face. He was about to curse once, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate. He forcibly took it back and was extremely aggrieved.

"Xian'er, don't worry, let me think about this matter again..." Although Li Xian did not make the story clear, Li Zhi had guessed what happened. Seeing that Li Xian was so angry, he couldn't help smiling bitterly. When he wanted to comfort one or two, he saw a group of maids surrounded by a midwife holding a baby turned out of the inner hall. Under the eagerness of his beloved daughter, he couldn't finish his words. He suddenly stood up and greeted her in three steps and two steps.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the little princess is six catties and six taels, white and tender, born beautiful, unparalleled in the world..." The midwife was obviously a master of flattery. As soon as she saw Gao Zong rushing over, she quickly bowed and picked up the baby in her arms. She kept flattering, just like a parvoy magpie. Of course. It is the fattest kind.

"Hahaha..., okay, okay, reward, there is a reward, come on, let me hug." Under the overflow of love of Gao Zong, he had already forgotten all his previous unhappiness. In his eyes, there was only the newborn Princess Taiping. He roared and hugged the little princess into his arms, looked at it with a smile endlessly, and the corners of his mouth cracked into his ears.

The Li Hong brothers also planned to have a good discussion about the imperial edict, but when they saw that their father's heart was no longer here, they had no choice but to tighten it. Obviously, the three brothers could not grasp how the matter of the amnesty decree would progress. The brothers looked at each other and had nothing to say, so they had to separate After adjusting my mentality, I came over one after another and gathered around the newborn little sister to have fun. Of course, it's just a joke - the newborn baby, regardless of men and women, has wrinkled skin, just like a little old man. It really doesn't look at it. A lot of people are just flattering. It makes people get goosebumps when they listen to it. Especially for Li Xian, who has been familiar with the future of Princess Taiping for a long time, he is very impatient to hear. However, on such occasions, it is not where Li Xian can be happy. He can only cater to him randomly, but his thoughts have long been gone...
