Chapter 14 Family Meeting

"I have seen my father and the mother."

Although the three brothers have different thoughts, the shocks in their hearts are the same. However, as the children of the heavenly family, they are all good at covering up. At this time, no one will show their true feelings, and it is even more impossible to ask why Wu Mei Niang appeared here, very As for Wu Mei Niang and Gao Zong sitting on the dragon bed, which was obviously against the system, they all turned a blind eye. The three of them walked to the front and greeted respectfully according to the rules of the court.

"Fal flat, just flat."

Looking at the three sons who fell down, Gao Zong and Li Zhi's face flashed a trace of blush in embarrassment. His eyes were extremely complicated. There was some pain, some embarrassment, and more guilt. The sound of waving his hand couldn't help but bring a trill - he learned the imperial edict from the little eunuch Zhang Dekai. After the first case, although Gao Zong was not very clear who was the host behind the whole matter, he had decided to come forward to support it. He not only sympathized Shangguan Yi's unjust death, but also gave a warning to the Empress Wu, but he never thought that he had just arrived at the Taiji Hall. Before he could sit down, Queen Wu had rushed. After that, there was almost no dispute, and Gao Zong had been defeated. He could only agree that this matter should be the sole decision of the Empress Wu, and the guilt in his heart was inevitably strong.

"Thank you, Father!"

Although the situation is still unknown, it is obviously not very good. Although the three princes have different intentions, they all know that things are difficult. Therefore, the voice of gratitude is loud, but that's all. After thanking, they all stand down. No one refuses to open their mouth first. The empty hall is strangely quiet, and only anger The atmosphere became more and more depressing.

"Cough cough..."

The prince was weak. When he was overwhelmed by this repressed atmosphere, he couldn't help coughing gently. Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly harsh on such occasions.

"What are you doing? Why don't you move the brocade? What's the use of me waiting for you? A bunch of wastes with no eyesight!" Li Hong's cough just came together. Gao Zong suddenly had a big attack as if he had taken gunpowder. He scolded the eunuchs who were waiting next to the hall regardless of it. They were so fierce that all the eunuchs panicked.

"Your Majesty, please calm the anger of the thunder. I blame my concubine for forgetting to mention something." When Gao Zong had such an attack, not only did the eunuchs panic, but also the Li Hong brothers were quite stunned. When they didn't know how to deal with it, they saw Wu Mei Niang, who was always sitting upright, suddenly smiled and persuaded Gao Zong in a gentle voice.

"Well."

As the saying goes, brine points tofu, and one thing lowers another. As soon as Wu Mei Niang spoke, the anger on Gao Zong's face immediately subsided. After a so-called hesitant sound, there was no more words, but his nose was a little heavier.

"Hmm." After a group of eunuchs lifted a brocade pier, Wu Mei Niang frowned slightly, raised her hand, and whispered softly. She waved back all the eunuchs all over the hall. Then she looked back and forth on the three Li Hong brothers, but she was not in a hurry to open her mouth. She couldn't help nagging.

It's a big deal of trouble. It seems that the worst situation is inevitable, and now we can only retreat to the next. It's a pity! Although Li Xianren stood honestly, his brain moved quickly. After several calculations, he was still regretted to find that the matter had exceeded his own control ability, and his mood was a little disappointed - as early as when he decided to take the Shangguanyi case as an article, Li Xian had already considered each The possibility of this kind, of course, the intervention from the Queen of Wu is also in Li Xian's expectation, but Li Xian never expected that the Queen Wu would act so decisively that he could personally deal with Gao Zong before the ministers. Now, under the power of Queen Wu, who took the emperor to make the princes, he wanted to realize the party booked earlier. It is impossible to carry out a comprehensive strike strategy. Whether it can be broken or not is still uncertain. What's more troublesome is that Li Xian himself does not want to emerge so soon in case it becomes the key target of the Queen Wu. How to take the situation in the middle has become an annoyance that Li Xian has to consider repeatedly.

"Hian'er, come on, tell your mother, what are you tossing around outside?" Just as Li Xian was thinking about countermeasures, Wu Mei Niang's wandering eyes fixed on him, her red lips opened gently, and she asked lightly.

"Ah..."

As soon as Wu Mei Niang's voice fell, Li Xian's small body couldn't help shivering. He opened his mouth and shouted. His expression was full of consternment. Obviously, he was scared a lot, at least on the surface.

"Don't panic. My mother just wants to know the reason for the matter. Let's talk about it." Wu Meiniang was obviously satisfied with Li Xian's "performance". She waved her hand with a smile and explained gently.

Panic, a little bit, but it is by no means as exaggerated. In fact, Li Xian has long guessed that Wu Mei Niang would take herself as a breakthrough. It's nothing more than a move to pinch a soft persimmon. To put it bluntly, it's not worth it. How to deal with Li Xian has long been arguing, and the performance of the weak is quite like that, but He acted honestly, but shocked Li Hong and Li Xian into a cold sweat. What he was afraid of was that Li Xian shirked his responsibility.

What is ** Wei? That's it. Oh, what a pity. There is no war, and there is no morale! While performing the weak, Li Xian did not forget to pay attention to the looks of the people in the hall. At this time, not only Gao Zong and Li Hong were nervous, but also Li Xian, who had always been arrogant, turned pale. It was not clear that all the people were actually not very confident to fight head-on with Wu Mei Niang. They sighed secretly, and their hearts were also cooled.

"After talking to my mother, my son, my son, I don't know much about it. Since my mother's question, my son, my son..." Since he wanted to act weak, Li Xian has completely acted enough, which forced himself to suppress the fluctuation of his thoughts in his heart. He took two steps forward, bowed his hand and bowed, stammered his mouth, and peeked at it from time to time. Wu Mei Niang's face was completely timid and afraid of things.

As soon as Li Xian's little appearance came out, Gao Zong's originally gloomy face immediately became darker. Li Hong's originally white face was even more confused. As for Li Xian, his face turned red. He was ready to refute Li Xian's nonsense at any time, while Wu Mei Niang laughed, although he was just smiling. But the victory in the smile was undoubtedly obvious, but he did not say anything to urge Li Xian, but just nod and encouraged him.

"Mother Queen Mingjian, this is the case." Li Xian swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his eyes flashed and said, "The child had made an appointment with the sixth brother to go to the suburbs for a walk, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard that the imperial edict had changed and sent someone to investigate. Only then did he know that the supervisor Cui Xuanzhe actually wanted to kill Shangguan Yiman. The child planned to rush to the palace to report to his father and mother, but However, he was afraid that he was too late. Fortunately, with the sixth brother's decision, he led his ministers and others to rush to the imperial edict prison. He rescued the old man Shangguan and got the news. He knew that Shangguan Fu, the evil slave who had been the first Shangguan old man before, had framed a good man against his conscience. The son couldn't wait, so he took down the evil slave together. After that, the prince's brother heard the news and felt that the case was serious. , you can't take it lightly, so you lead your ministers and other ministers and workers to gather outside the palace. If you want to ask your father and mother to investigate the case in detail, it is also good to return the innocence of the people in the world.

Although Li Xian's expression is flinched, but these words are ambiguous, avoiding the truth, and not talking about the cause. He just bites the truth of the case in one bite. He is clearly organized, and his tone is even more sincere. Although he can't talk about it, he explains the basic process of the facts clearly. At that time, Li Xian and Brother Li were both refreshed.

"Father, the queen and mother, what the seventh brother said is very true. Thinking of my magnificent Tang Dynasty and the universe, there are treacherous villains such as Cui Xuanzhe who dare to take the risk the act of killing of Qiao's edict. There are also evil slaves who do not think about the grace of the Lord and frame the master in the name of unprovoked crimes. It is really the shame of the Tang Dynasty, which cannot be investigated!" Li Xian was also worried that Li Xian was timid and biting people randomly, but when he heard that Li Xian did not change his original intention, he was immediately encouraged, so he grabbed it and made a generous statement.

"Father, mother, this matter is strange, and the officials are surprised. If you don't investigate it in detail, it will be difficult to convince the public." Seeing that both brothers stood up bravely, Li Hong was obviously unwilling to lag behind, but his scruples about Wu Mei Niang were obviously much deeper than Li Xian's. Although his words were high-sounding, they were not biased and not as sharp as Li Xian's.

"Oh? It's actually like this. Well, let's talk about the situation of the imperial edict in detail and listen to my mother. Wu Mei Niang originally thought that Li Xian, who had always been cowardly, was absolutely begging for mercy under heavy pressure. Once this was the case, she could take advantage of the opportunity to cover up the case vaguely, but she never thought that Li Xian could say such an organized word, and she didn't expect that the sons would dare to rebound in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't Yu Di was a little messy, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He didn't pay attention to Li Hong's words. He just stared at Li Xian for a long time, and then asked in a flat tone.

Sharp, really spicy! As soon as Wu Mei Niang said this, Li Xian had guessed Wu Mei Niang's next plan. Unfortunately, he could guess it. Li Xian had nothing to do at this time. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only bow and said honestly, "Yes, I obeyed. When my father and mother, when the child and the sixth brother rushed to the imperial edict prison, they just opened the knife and beheaded. At the moment..."

There are many bystanders on the execution site. It is really difficult to hide anything. Li Xian does not dare to lie about this matter. He can only tell the story of the matter completely. He just hides the interaction with Li Xian a little, without any comments. He chattered about it and talked about half a column of incense. In the meantime, Li Xian's mouth inevitably became a little dry...
