The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 11 The Second King's Trouble in Beijing

"Qiao Zhao acted and acted as an accomplice in rebellion. The crime should be killed. Cui Xuanzhe, as a royal historian, knows how to break the law, and the crime is added to the first class. It should destroy the three races. Come on, take down this!" Seeing that Cui Xuanzhe didn't say anything for a long time, Li Xianke, who wanted to rely on this matter to stand in the imperial court, came to his spirits. He sneered, waved his hand, and drank loudly. The guards of the royal palace who followed him immediately responded and agreed. They all came forward and wanted to take people.

"Wait!" Although Hou Shanye was very dissatisfied with Cui Xuanzhe and wanted to let him suffer some hardships, he did not dare to sit back and watch him be taken down by the bodyguards of Lu's Mansion. After all, he was also involved in this case. If he can't take himself out in advance, once he made trouble, he would have no good fruit to eat. At this time, the guards of Lu's palace wanted When he started, he was in a hurry. He hurriedly grabbed it out, shouted, and led a group of Dali Temple officials to stop in front of Cui Xuanzhe.

"Hmm, Hou Daren is righteous. When he is familiar with the law of the court, he is now angry with Cui Thief. Do you want to mess up the court, huh?" Although Li Xian had the intention to take Cui and Hou together, he did not dare to move in the face of so many government officials in the imperial edict prison. He waved his hand with a cold face to signal a group of guards to retreat, gritted his teeth, and asked in a cold voice.

"His Royal Highness King Lu's words are serious, and the lower official does not dare to be rude and illegal. The matter of Shangguan's rebellion has been reviewed and finalized by the three departments. Your Majesty has a purpose to make a decision. This edict has long been announced to the world. Now there is a file in Dali Temple. If Your Highness does not believe it, you can investigate it. Lord Cui is a person in the prison. It is said that your majesty has been ordered here, and the lower official has no authorization to take it. Power, the execution of the imperial edict is also a move within the lower official's division. I hope your Highness will be aware of it!" Hou Shanye has been immersed in the law for half his life. The case has been tried a lot, and how can he be afraid of Li Xian's threats? It's just that he obviously does not intend to conflict with the two princes on the spot, which is not arrogant and humble.

"Oh? In this way, it's so bold that Cui Xuanzhe pretended to pass on the imperial edict!" As soon as Hou Shanye's words fell, he didn't wait for Li Xian to say anything. Li Xian, who stood aside, spoke first and put all the blame on Cui Xuanzhe.

"Seventh brother..." Li Xian was already a little dissatisfied with Li Xian's rashness. At this time, he saw that Li Xian had easily let go of Hou Shanye. His dissatisfaction was unbearable. He frowned and had to show off his brother's prestige with a cold face.

Alas, Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you are really a stubborn guy. God knows where your usual cleverness has gone. Is it really a smart face and a clumsy? Lively is a political rookie! Seeing that Li Xian was about to lose his temper, Li Xian's eyes were full of helplessness - yes, before coming to the imperial edict prison, the two brothers discussed to take down Cui and Hou together and make a lot of trouble. However, at present, Hou Shanye clearly wanted to stay out of the matter, and there was no need to take it down together. As long as he could save Shangguan Yiyu. In the situation of death, the two brothers' respective plans can be realized. Besides, if this game is really won, if you want to go back and clean up such a minor official from the fifth grade, what is the difficulty? Is it necessary to do it at this time?

"Sixth brother, Lord Hou seems to be blinded by Cui Thief. Although there are slight flaws, he is understandable. Cui Thief is just an official, but he dares to do this great rebellious act. His heart is strange. He should report to his father and emperor. If you study it carefully, you can't indulge the thief in vain!" Although Li Xian was dissatisfied with Li Xian's putting the cart before the horse, he could not make trouble with Li Xian at this time. Seeing that Li Xian's face was wrong, he quickly bowed and saluted and hurriedly explained.

"Well, what the seventh brother said is very true. Come on, take down the Cui thief, and I will enter the palace!" Li Xian was not a fool. Hearing Li Xian's words, he immediately woke up. After a little meditation, he waved his hand and ordered to take people again.

As soon as Li Xian said this, Hou Shanye immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer came forward to stop the bodyguards of the Lu's house. A group of guards of the royal palace swarmed forward and easily pressed Cui Xuanzhe to the ground and tied him up. He was so anxious that Cui Xuanzhe shouted wildly: "Someone is the imperial official, you can't get it. Inno politeness, let go of me, let go of me!"

Cui Xuanzhe is just a civilian official. He struggles hard, but how can he beat a group of burly and powerful guards of the royal palace. He was tied into zongzi in just a few times. Even if he shouted loudly, no one was willing to come forward to give a helping hand at this time. Before he jumped up a few times, he was already annoyed by the royal palace. The guards gagged their mouths with rags and went out of the imperial edict.

"The Shangguan Fu has been taken down, and Lord Shangguan is good at taking care of himself." Taking advantage of the chaos of a group of bodyguards who captured Cui Xuanzhe, Li Xian quietly walked through the crowd, went to Shangguan Yi, who was guarded by his bodyguards, and whispered.

"Oh?" Shangguan Yi originally thought that she would die, but she didn't expect that the two princes would make such a big play on the court. It was very strange. When she heard Li Xian's statement, her eyes lit up. When she wanted to ask again, she saw that Li Xian slipped back to Li Xian's side without looking back. In doubt, the hope in her heart At that moment, it surged uncontrollably.

Li Xian always looked at the bodyguards cleaning up Cui Xuanzhe with a straight face. It was not until Li Xian turned back and gave him a look at him. His rigid face loosened a little. He looked at Hou Shanye, who was sad and said, "Lord Hou, since Cui Thief Qiao Zhao wanted to kill Lord Shangguan, there must be hidden feelings in it. Now the matter has been exposed. When it is investigated in detail, I'm afraid that there will be some danger for Lord Shangguan to stay here again. I will go to the palace to see my father. If it is convenient for Lord Hou, how about keeping Lord Shangguan to go with him?

"Ah, this, this..." As soon as Hou Shanye heard Li Xian's words, he was a little dumbfounded - Hou Shanye was a member of the post-party. How could he not know the purpose of Cui Xuanzhe's arrival and whose order he took? The reason why he did not carry this matter before was not unwilling, but did not dare, just because he knew the two in front of him. Since a prince dares to break into the court and forcibly break into the court that the prince is not allowed to engage in politics, he is definitely prepared. If he is killed on the spot, I'm afraid he will die in vain, so he will ignore Cui Xuanzhe's life and death. Besides, Hou Shanye has great confidence in the ability of the martial arts queen. He is not worried about this. How famous can the two brothers make a scene in the court? In Hou Shanye's opinion, as long as he can avoid the entanglement of this case, he will ensure that nothing happens. Of course, he is not willing to be involved in this case. Hearing that Li Xian actually invited him to see the saint together, Hou Shanye's heart immediately cooled and he couldn't speak.

"Lord Hou, Lord Shangguan is the key to this case. It is not enough to distinguish right from right and wrong. However, now Lord Shangguan is a prisoner pending decision. Xiao Wang and his brother can't deal with it without authorization. Only Lord Hou can keep Lord Shangguan safe. Xiao Wang knows that Lord Hou is a loyal person in the court and has always been loyal to his duties. It's a big deal. Shouldn't you say no? Although Li Xianren was young, he was very thoughtful. He didn't give Hou Shanye time to think about countermeasures at all. He threw a high hat away and squeezed Hou Shanye without a choice.

"This... Ah, since it is valued by the two highnesses, the subordinate should be ordered to do it." Hou Shanye was squeezed out by Li Xian's words and had no way out. Besides, he did not dare to hand over Shangguan Yi to the two princes. In desperation, he had no choice but to bow down and make a promise.

"Okay, Lord Hou knows the general situation and takes care of the overall situation. He is really a man. Once this matter is over, Xiao Wang has become my father and shows the merits of Lord Hou!" Seeing that Hou Shanye had succumbed, Li Xian was overjoyed. He applauded with a smile and comforted him for a few words. Then he waved his hand and ordered loudly, "Come on, protect Lord Shangguan and follow me into the palace. In addition, summon the prime ministers of various prefectures to negotiate this important case!"

"No!" Li Xian issued an order, and a group of bodyguards did not dare to neglect themselves. They bowed their promises. Immediately, several bodyguards came forward to take over Shangguanyi from the bodyguards of the King of Zhou's Mansion. Another dozen bodyguards rushed out of the imperial prison and scattered their horses to the location of the prime ministers' mansions. The capital court situation became turbulent, and countless strange stormed. This cohesion, a court disturbance opened the curtain...

Gao Zong has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he has not improved much in adulthood. Although he is only thirty-six years old now, his body and bones are not very good, and he is dizzy. From time to time, he has a headache and brain fever, and he is often drowsy. In the past two days, he has quarreled with Xu Jingzong over the amnesty of the world, and his spirit is even worse. Today coincided with Xun's holiday. Li Zhi rarely stole his spare time. Just after noon, he hurriedly ate the meal and retreated all the attendants. He stayed in the Wude Hall. He wanted to take a nap alone and refreshed himself in case he would get an amnesty with Xu Jingzong in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, he lay down and felt There were fine footsteps coming from outside the warm pavilion. Suddenly, a burst of boredom rose from his heart. He opened his eyes angrily. When he entered, he saw a small official eunuch probing his head at the entrance of the warm pavilion. He couldn't help but feel a burst of fire. He turned over and stared at the people angrily.

"The slave maid Zhang Dekai has something important to report to His Majesty." The little eunuch was looking around. When Gao Zong saw him coming, he immediately panicked and quickly ran forward, knelt to the ground, scratching his head, and reporting nervously.

Li Zhi's eyes were not good. Although his eyes were round before, he didn't see who it was. At this time, when he heard that the little eunuch reported himself, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he suddenly remembered that the little eunuch was one of the attendants who had just been promoted a few days ago, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but just snorted coldly and said The sound is full of unpleasure.

"Your Majesty, when I learned of the letter, I supervised the imperial historian Cui Xuanzhe to fake the imperial edict and wanted to kill the old and young of Shangguan's family in the imperial prison. When the two highnesses, King Lu and King Zhou learned about this, they rushed to the imperial edict prison to stop it. The matter was urgent, and the maidservant did not dare to delay a little. Please judge." Hearing Li Zhi's extremely cold hum, Zhang Dekai was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head. His little body trembling nervously and reported the matter in a hurry.

"Huh? This, this, how is this possible, you, you, how dare you coax me!" As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he was shocked and couldn't be angry anymore. He turned over and jumped out of bed, pointed to Zhang Dekai, and shouted all over. There were a few panics, a few anxiety, and a few vague expectations in his words...
