Chapter 25 Follow the trend

"Your Majesty's words, Li Xian, the king of Xuan Zhou, immediately entered the palace and met him in the two halls!"

As Li Xian expected, only about an hour after Yuan Wanqing went, Gao Zong sent Sun Quanfu, the deputy eunuch of the two halls, to pass on the edict.

"My minister, thank you for your order!"

Li Xian thanked the saint according to the rules. When he got up, he shook his hand and took out a folded ten-piece flying banknote from the wide sleeves (a kind of voucher issued by the government to facilitate the settlement of merchants). He quietly stuffed it into Sun Quanfu's sleeves, and then accompanied him with a smiling face and said, "It's hard work, I don't know. My father summoned Xiao Wang so urgently, but what's the matter?

The Liangyi Hall is the junction between the internal forbidden and the outer court. It is the place where the emperor received his trusted ministers after he went down to the court. Those who can work in this hall are not idle people. Sun Quanfu is the deputy chief eunuch. It has long been a habit to collect money. He will not be moved by Li Xianlai's hand. He did not He answered Li Xian's question directly, but made a "please" gesture and said, "Your Highness, please, don't let Your Majesty and the Queen wait in a hurry."

Sure enough, Queen Wu is going to be fair for Yuan Wanqing. It's interesting! Li Xian is an awakened person. As soon as he heard Sun Quanfu's words, he read "Queen" as an accent, and immediately understood what was wrong. He bent the corners of his mouth and couldn't help smiling. He didn't talk more nonsense. He nodded silently, shook his sleeves and walked out of the door, but quietly. I made a secret code for Gao Mio.

The carriage walked forward in the snow. Li Xian's face in the carriage was gloomy, and he didn't have the previous calm look at all. His hands were also tightly clenched into fists, and the color of worry was overflowing. People all over the world knew that Empress Wu was not easy to provoke. Once she was provoked, he would have to be stripped of skin if he did not die. There was no doubt, Li Xian is in danger at this moment. If he is not careful, he is likely to lose all the game. But then again, opportunities are always accompanied by danger. If you want to fight against such a huge thing as the Empress Wu, you can't do anything. For the future, it is better to take risks than the future. This is the reason why Li Xian decided to gamble. Now, the bet has been pressed. As for whether it can be done or not, Li Xian does not dare to guarantee the ticket. He can only take one step at a time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Lu Wang has arrived."

The carriage Li Xian took just got to the square in front of Chengtianmen. It had not stopped yet. Gao Miao couldn't wait to stick to the curtain, lowered his voice, and reported with a little excitement.

Okay, this boy finally lives up to his trust! As soon as he heard that Li Xian had arrived, Li Xian's tense heart was finally a little relaxed. He waved his clenched fists and raised the curtain and poked his head out of the carriage. Seeing this, Gao Miao hurriedly leaned over and waited for Li Xian to get off the carriage.

"Brother Six, you're here." Li Xian got off the carriage, immediately took a few steps, grabbed Li Xian's body, saluted respectfully and greeted him.

"Hmm." Li Xian's look was obviously not very good. He waved his hand with a dark face and hummed from his nostrils - this time he received an urgent letter from Li Xian. Li Xian did not intend to join in such a lively place, but he was afraid that Li Xian could not calm down for a moment and put out the matter of the previous imperial edict prison, so he had to rush here bravely. In his heart Li Xian, who had been messing around for a long time, scolded him so much. How could he have a good face?

Yo, I'm really angry, I'm really petty! At this sight, Li Xian showed his face to himself, and he smiled secretly in his heart, but he put on an extremely aggrieved look on his face and called in a low voice: "Sixth brother, little brother..."

"I know, I know, just pass the sign."

As soon as Li Xian's poor little appearance came out, Li Xian suddenly felt unbearable. Thinking of the previous success of Li Xian's help to promote his name, his anger subsided more than half. Besides, in front of so many subordinates, Li Xianshi was not too angry. In desperation, he shook his head with a wry smile and replied angrily.

"Yes, I will follow the order of the sixth brother."

Li Xian was originally a master of acting skills. This change of face was simply faster than turning over a book. It was originally cloudy. In a blink of an eye, it was already sunny. He took the sign with a smile on his face. Gao Mi took it and ran to Chengtianmen to hand over the waist card. For a few hours, Sun Quanfu, who had already entered the palace, led the two little eunuchs and turned out from the inside. The two brothers straightened their clothes and rushed forward.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan, Li Xian, the king of Lu, and Li Xian, the king of Zhou, will meet!"

As soon as Sun Quanfu saw the Li Xian brothers coming over, he immediately stood up. When the little brothers were in place, he announced Gao Zong's ora in a tone.

"Thank you for your order."

The two brothers thanked each other as follows. After looking at each other, they walked into the Chengtian Gate shoulder and went straight along the Gongzhong Avenue to the Liangyi Hall. They just turned around the Taiji Hall. Before they reached the two Yi Hall, through an inner wall, they heard a tight and tragic howl inside, and there were still boards. The crackling sound of meat was so terrible that the two little brothers couldn't help but feel creepy.

Huh? What's going on? Do you want to give us a mawei? No, why is Lao Liu's face so ugly? As soon as Li Xian and others turned around the door of the inner wall, they saw a small eunuch lying on the ground and being tortured. There were two eunuchs who desperately pressed their struggling bodies on the side. There were also two strong eunuchs who could vigorously swung the board and hit them. At this sight, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned - it was common to punish eunuchs in the palace, but most of them It was carried out in the internal prison, and few were executed in the outer court. It was said that there was nothing strange here. How could Li Xian believe it? When he saw that Li Xian's face was not right, Li Xian's heart immediately tightened.

"Your Highness, please, Your Majesty and the Queen are already in the hall."

Sun Quanfu, who accompanied the two brothers into the palace, saw that the two brothers could not move, so he had to cough and said something.

"Such a minute, what did the eunuch do? Why are you executed here?" Li Xian was ready to raise his feet and leave, but Li Xian obviously had no intention. He stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Sun Quanfu, gritted his teeth and asked in a cold voice.

"In the words of Your Highness, this little guy lost his honor in the hall today and angered the Empress. Therefore, he should be sentenced to death with a cane. Your Highness, you'd better go to the palace." In front of Li Xian, the famous prince, Sun Quanfu did not dare to be rude, and hurriedly explained with a smiling face.

"Did you lose your instrument? Humph, what a loser!"

Sun Quanfu didn't explain it. Under this explanation, Li Xian's face turned blue in an instant, clenched his fist fiercely, and there were signs of anger.

Not good, this little eunuch is probably the insider of Lao Liu. Hey, this is a chicken-killing monkey. What a fierce wrist! Li Xian is a clever person. How can he not understand what was going on with the play in front of him when he heard this? He was shocked and couldn't care much. He hurriedly pulled Li Xian's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Six, if there is anything, let's talk about it when you see your father."

Li Xian guessed that the eunuch who was pressed to the ground was Zhang Dekai, the servant who reported the news for Li Xian at the beginning. The reason why he was killed by the Empress Wu this time was to teach Li Xian a lesson. Li Xian obviously also thought of this, but after all, he was not as calm as Li Xian and angry. Next, he had reached the edge of the attack. If it hadn't been for Li Mingming's quick hand to pull him, I'm afraid Li Xian couldn't help rushing forward and shouting.

"Go, enter the hall!"

Although Li Xian's personality was a little impulsive, he was not a brainless person. He was pulled by Li Xian and woke up. After his face changed for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, brushed his sleeves and walked to the hall.

It seems that this level is not easy to pass. That man can give Lao Liu a brick, and there is another brick for us, so I don't know how much this "meeting gift" can be! Although Li Xian's footsteps were calm, he quickly calculated his territory in his heart. Originally full confidence, he couldn't help but discount it, but he couldn't turn back. Now he can only see the trick. As soon as he thought of this, his heart couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Huh? Why are so many people there? Li Xian followed Li Xian and entered the hall. In his eyes, he saw Gao Zong and Wuhou sitting side by side. Prince Li Hong sat on the soft chamble under the front with a smile on his face. There were actually a lot of people standing at the bottom. Taking a closer look, the five prime ministers were all there, and there was also Yuan Wanqing, a bitter master who was not qualified to enter the two halls. Standing aside with a black face, a group of people seemed to be chatting happily. From time to time, laughter floated out of the hall. Li Xian did not dare to look more. He followed Li Xian and walked forward and saluted each other.

"I have seen my father and the mother."

Although the two brothers have different thoughts, they are very thoughtful in terms of courtesy, and there is no rudeness at all.

"Xian'er, Xian'er is here. Get up."

As soon as the two brothers arrived, Gao Zong's face flashed a strange color, which seemed to be unbearable, but even if he laughed, he raised his hand kindly.

"I am waiting to thank my father for your kindness."

As soon as they heard their father shout, the two brothers didn't think much. They thanked each other and stood up and were about to retreat. Unexpectedly, at this time, Queen Wu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Wait, Xian'er, stop!"

When Empress Wu opened his mouth, the Li Xian brothers couldn't help but stand still. After looking at each other, Li Xian gritted his teeth and retreated aside, leaving Li Xian alone in the hall.

"Mother, the child is here to listen to the hadith."

Li Xian had long expected that he could not pass easily, but he did not panic. He shook his sleeve robe, bowed his body, and opened his mouth very calmly. But after waiting for a long time, he never saw Queen Wu shouting, nor did he see Queen Wu have any instructions. Poor Li Xian could only bend down and stand stupidly aggrievedly, and this is the hall. It's so quiet that it's weird...
