Chapter 158 Endless
Then Tianmen is the main gate of Luoyang Palace. It is a long distance from the Qianyuan Hall in the harem, which is a distance of one and a half miles. Of course, for Li Xian, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, it is really not a difficult thing. In the past, it is easy to walk. Not to mention tired, sweat will not come out. A little bit, but today, Li Xian's footsteps are particularly heavy. Sweat has unconsciously filled his forehead, but it is not because of heat, but psychological tension, just because there will be a hard battle next.
Since his rebirth, Li Xian has been working with the Empress Wu, both open and secretly. From the rescue of Shangguan Yi, the number of confrontations to now has been more than a dozen times. However, in those confrontations, Li Xian is mostly just the pusher behind the scenes. The real front is the prince and Li Xian, but this time Li Xian can't be reused. The two brothers came to move, and they had to face the crisis alone. The pressure was arduable.
It's not that there is no certainty, but it's very big. At least in Li Xian's opinion. To be honest, the reason why Li Xian dares to take this adventure is that he naturally has a winning card. This bottom card is that Queen Wu has to keep He Lanminzhi. Even if Queen Wu is actually extremely dissatisfied with He Lanmin now, she can't sit and watch He Lan. Minzhi was defeated. This is not the Empress Wu's family affection, let alone the Empress Wu's kindness, but the involvement of a big scandal - He Lanmin's wife Yu Rongguo - today there is only one wife of Rongguo, that is the Empress Wu's biological mother, Yang, who is eighty-seven years old. Unexpectedly, she is old and does not cultivate, and he has " Because of this, before the death of Mrs. Rongguo, Queen Wu would never touch He Lanmin, nor could she allow others to touch He Lanmin, in order to be afraid that He Lanmin would make this scandal public in a hurry, and this is the most fundamental core of Li Xian's trap for He Lanmin to come out. However, words Again, it's good to have a bottom card, but it may not be another matter if you can't make good use of this bottom card. Li Xian clearly knows that it is extremely difficult to gain the upper hand of the martial arts queen, not to mention that you have to beware of the revenge of the martial arts queen afterwards. If you don't pay attention, you will be in danger of losing the game. In this case, Li Xian How can it be easy?
"Your Highness, the emperor and the queen are both in the apse. Please follow the old slave."
No matter how long the road is, it will finally be finished. Li Xian turned the two connected courtyard doors all the way and came to the small square outside the Qianyuan Hall. He was about to go straight in, but he saw Yan Desheng running up from behind and bowed respectfully.
The apse? Oh, what an apse! Li Xian's mind is very sensitive. As soon as he hears it, he has understood the thoughts of the Queen of Wu. He is just planning to evolve this gentleman and minister into a family dispute. However, this is also in line with Li Xian's intention. He will not have much opinion on this. He just nod his head and whispers, and then he is diligently led the way. In the Qianyuan Hall.
"My son and minister saw my father and mother."
Li Xian just turned a screen and saw that Gao Zong and Empress Wu were sitting on the couch side by side and hurried forward. The big ceremony was repeated. The etiquette was very comprehensive, but his face was extremely ugly, as if there was a lot of grievance in his chest.
"Xian'er is coming, I, I... Ah, come on, flat, flat, flat."
Seeing that Li Xian's face was so ugly, Gao Zong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. His face flashed and he shouted randomly.
"Thank you for your father's kindness."
Li Xian saluted meticulously before he stood up, stood aside with his hands down, bowed his head and said nothing, but his face was still dark.
"You don't have to be so polite, I, I..."
Gao Zong knew why Li Xian came here, but the comforting words were really not easy to say. "I" couldn't come out for a long time, and he was so embarrassed that he rubbed his hands.
"Did Xian'er come here for the White Horse Temple?"
Gao Zong had some scruples, but Queen Wu was not ambiguous at all. She took over the words with a smile and asked directly.
"After returning to my mother, my son was relaxing in the house. I was surprised to hear that something strange happened in the White Horse Temple. I was surprised. However, when it comes to my son, I dare not stay out of the matter. I am willing to ask my father and mother to make the decision for me." Li Xian saluted without humility and went straight to the matter.
"This, this, I... Ah, Mei Niang, look..."
Gao Zong really wanted to make the decision for Li Xian, but when the words came to his mouth, he was worried about Queen Wu. After stamming for a long time, he still handed over the decision to Queen Wu.
"Your Majesty, I think there is a misunderstanding about this matter. I think that Wang Pinger is a good person, and she doesn't know Min'er. How could she go together? Maybe there is something else." Empress Wu glanced at Li Xian coldly and immediately said something.
Old thief, scare me, cut, who is afraid of who! Li Xian came prepared. He did not pay attention to the threat in Queen Wu's words. He followed him without showing weakness and said, "Father Mingjian, I think that my mother's words are reasonable. This matter should be thoroughly investigated and clear. If there is any misunderstanding, it should be understood by the people in the world. If not, I can't accept this in vain. Waiting for a great humiliation, I am willing to ask my father to be the master for my son!"
"Of course, of course, my son's words are reasonable. This matter should be investigated. Well, what does Mei Niang mean?"
Before Li Xian arrived, Gao Zong quarreled with Queen Wu about this matter. According to Gao Zong's original intention, he never wanted to see the experience of Prince Li Hong repeat itself again. In fact, he had the intention to deal with the bold He Lanminzhi, but Wu Hou wanted to protect He Lanminzhi and refused to agree to thoroughly investigate this matter. Gao Zong could not resist Queen Wu. Persistence, helplessly, he had to take a procrastination method to try to deal with the case of the White Horse Temple first and then care about it. However, the timely appearance of Li Xian made things change. In terms of reason, Gao Zong could not see Li Xian, the bitter master. At this time, when he heard Li Xian say so sad and indignant, Gao Zong's heart immediately softened. He echoed his words, but at the end, he still didn't dare to issue an edict, but asked the Empress Wu's opinion.
Under the unanimity between father and son, the Empress Wu obviously felt that the matter was a little tricky. She frowned and hesitated and did not dare to express her attitude immediately - Queen Wu knew what He Lanminzhi's conduct was, and she also knew the fundamental reason for her several nonsense. In the eyes of Empress Wu, in terms of He Lanminzhi's personality. There are some who are greedy and lustful. They also want to do evil things to avenge their mother and sister. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is crazy. However, Empress Wu did not think that He Lanmin would really hit Wang Pinger. It was because Empress Wu knew that He Lanmin's patience was extremely poor. Even if she wanted to use Wang Pinger to make trouble, it was at most that the overlord went to the ground. Traitor/** The last time, it is impossible to spend so much time to coax him. Obviously, there must be another article on this matter, and this article is probably from Li Xian's handwriting. If you really make up your mind to investigate, Queen Wu may find out the strangeness. The problem is that Queen Wu dares not. Is it very simple. On the one hand, Li Xian dares to take this strategy. Presumably, he has already cleaned up his hand, and may even arrange the relevant traps for a thorough investigation. On the other hand, he is worried that He Lanmin's nonsense in the thorough investigation will involve countless unbearable secrets. With these two, the Empress Wu dares not easily move the idea of a thorough investigation, just facing righteous indignation. It is not easy for the filled Li Xian to put forward the reason for the emperor's opposition, and it is inevitable that the Empress Wu hesitates.
"How is Xian'er going to check it?"
After all, Queen Wu is not an idle person. After a little meditation, she already had an idea and smiled and kicked the ball at Li Xian's feet.
"This matter involves the children's ministers. The ministers should avoid suspicions, and it is up to the father, the emperor and the mother to make the decision."
Queen Wu was shrewd, and Li Xian was not stupid. He saw through the calculation of Queen Wu at a glance. He didn't take it at all. He kicked lightly, and the ball rolled back to Queen Wu again.
"Otherwise, Wang Pinger's place has not been decided after all. If that's all, Xian'er has nothing to do with it, and she can investigate it herself." Seeing that Li Xian was slippery, Queen Wu had no choice but to point out the matter.
Hey, I'm just waiting for your old words. Let's not play anymore! Li Xian wanted such a result. There was an obvious signal of compromise in Queen Wu's words, and he was very happy, but his face pretended to be stunned. After being stunned, he said hesitantly, "Mother Mingjian, if so, the reason for this matter no longer exists, and there is no need to investigate. My son is stupid. Blunt, please make it clear to your mother.
"Your Majesty, although Min'er disdains it, she is an in-law after all. This matter has been investigated with great fanfare. The face of the Tian family is not appropriate in the end. If it is not investigated, it will be difficult for the ministers to tell. If it is the matter of the previous marriage, the matter can be calm. After the passage of time passes, find a day, and then call Min'er to learn a good lesson. That's it. This concubine's body is shallow, and it's clear to the emperor. Queen Wu did not answer Li Xian's question, but looked at Gao Zong sideways and explained it.
"This... I thought it was feasible, but I couldn't help but feel wronged. I really can't stand it." When Gao Zong heard that Wu Hou proposed such a solution, he was willing to put it into practice, but he was worried that Li Xian was dissatisfied with this and hesitated.
Don't mind. It's better for you to be more wronged. We don't mind! Li Xian tried his best to design so much, in order to cancel this damn marriage contract. There can't be much dissatisfaction. However, even if he is willing, Li Xian will not be stupid enough to show it on the spot, but pretends to be sighing: "Father Mingjian, the grievances are small, and the court is peaceful. Great, if this matter can be settled like this, I will have no objection.
"That's all right, that's it. I'll pass on my will and tell the ministers that I didn't belong to the daughter of the Wang Cheng family, and I won't mention this matter in the future!" Hearing Li Xian's statement, Gao Zong was relieved and rushed to issue an order.
"Father is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After Gao Zong's will, the matter became a conclusion. Queen Wu and Li Xian had their own gains and scruples. Naturally, they would not make much noise in this matter again. They praised each other, which made Gao Zong laugh happily...
