Chapter 342 The End of the Wind and Green Ping
On the eighth day of May of the third year of Xianheng, the original eunuch Gao He, who was deeply involved in the case of "Gongling", was better than the hanging beam in the inner court prison. Before his death, he left several suicide letters, and he was greedy for ink. He said that all the wine and food of the people of the people who were given by the imperial family had been diverted for its use, and he admitted the false accusation of the emperor's decree to deceive the emperor and claimed to be dead. If you can't escape the crime, you should thank you for your death. Hearing this, the emperor was furious and issued an edict to show Gao and Shengxiao to the public and destroy the three clans. Liu Yi, who was involved in the case, be demoted Ji County as the county magistrate. Shang Shu Le Yanwei of the Ministry of Ceremonies was fined his salary for half a year, and the rank was lowered to the first level. The rest of the officials involved in the case were degraded, and the edict was ordered to recall the people to repair the "gong Mausoleum", and Le Yanwei was strictly ordered to personally supervise it. It was limited to April. Be sure The period is completed!
The noisy "Gongling" case has passed in such a good way. In terms of calculation, all parties have gained. For the prince, the power of the government is in hand, and he can end it satisfactorily. In terms of Li Zhen, the king of Yu Yue, with the trial of the case, he initially gained a firm foothold in the court. Not only that, but also his eldest son Li Chong. Successfully stuffed into the Ministry of Industry, and counting Pei Shoude's member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, in the court, he also has some team. He will never go to make more trouble again, and he is confused and confused. Yu Li Xian has completed the task of reshuffle of the court. He has gained a lot, and he will not go to make branches. He will close his eyes and Forget it. The only thing that has suffered a big loss is that I'm afraid it's only the Empress Wu. However, the Empress Wu is not without gain. At least in the trial of the case, Queen Wu can draw an extremely important conclusion that Gao Zong has completely lost his mind to depose himself. In this way, Queen Wu can let go of her hands and feet. He stirred a handful in the court. In a word, in the next court battle, it is difficult to say who will die.
Time flies, and it is already mid-August in a blink of an eye. During this period of time, the DPRK has been very stable. There are few disputes, and all forces are all calm. As for whether this is nourishing energy or the tranquility before the storm is approaching, it is a matter of opinion. Now, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the city of Luoyang is full of a festive atmosphere. Especially after Gao Zong's edict that he will hold a polo match in Xiyuan during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city is a jubilant scene. However, for Li Xian, this is all indifferent things. Whether it is the stability of the court or the celebration in the city, Li Xian does not care about it. In addition to the province in the morning and evening, Li Xian rarely goes to the palace and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the government. He has nothing to do. In fact, he is just waiting for the news from Hexi.
The news is coming, but it is not what Li Xian is waiting for - on August 13, the inside line of the palace reported that there was a misconduct in the behavior of Li Xulun, the king of Yin, and was punished in public by the Empress Wu, and imprisoned in the Ningxin Hall. Another news said that the courtiers of the Queen Wu were brewing this chapter to drive the kings out of the court.
Conspiracy, this is a complete conspiracy, playing the trick of fighting cattle across the mountain! As soon as Li Xian got the news, he knew that it would be difficult to do it. This time, he obviously hit Li Xulun, but in fact, it was for him. With Li Xian's understanding of Li Xulun, how could he not know that he was a young man? Although he was not old, his behavior was extremely stable. It was not an old man. How can it be a scandal with the maids of honor? Among other things, even if Li Xulun is so careful, he doesn't have that "power", right? It's just such a teenager in his early ten years old, and his hair doesn't grow up. How can he do something meticulous? It's not strange that he framed him. It's just that the Empress Wu is retaliating against Gongling.
Yes, the official of the dynasty is the big strategy determined by Li Xian, but it is not for the official. Li Xian wants a place where he can make contributions, not go to the place to enjoy the blessings of the idle prince. The difference here is big. If the Empress Wu is allowed to put it at will. In Li Xulun's words, it is very likely to follow this situation and sweep Li Xian in and randomly arrange Li Xian to a corner place. If so, Li Xian's big plan will be finished, and this is obviously an unacceptable result of Li Xian. Therefore, even if Li Xulun has always supported him. From his point of view, Li Xian must also go to this muddy water once, and it became Li Xian's best choice to enter the palace as soon as possible!
The brand has been handed over for a long time, but Li Xian has been waiting for nearly half an hour outside Zetianmen, but he has never been able to get the oracle of summoning. Although his face is still calm, he can't help but feel a little impetuous. What he is afraid of is that Gao Zongzhen, whose ears are always soft, listened to Wu Hou's slander, plus Li Xian, the prince who had entered the palace first, shouted from the side, and I'm afraid that things would be difficult to end. Li Xian really knew too well about Li Xian's nature. How could he not know that he was an ungrateful bastard. In his heart, he could not tolerate others at all except for himself. Instead of expecting him to help Li Xulun slow down his cheeks. It's better to expect the sun to rise from the west.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Xian's patience also disappeared bit by bit. The haze in his heart was getting thicker and thicker, and there was an impulse to break through the palace. However, he couldn't do it. Now, Li Xian has no other way to think about it except to wait patiently.
"Your Majesty's words, Xuan, King Li Xian, Qianyuan Hall meet!"
Just as Li Xian was in a hurry, Cheng Denggao, the new eunuch, led two eunuchs and staggered out of the palace gate, walked slowly to Li Xian and preached.
"Thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Finally, when it came to the oracle of the meeting, Li Xian's hanging heart was a little calmer, so he hurried to thank him as usual.
"Your Highness, please!"
Cheng Denggao is an old man in the palace, but he has always been suppressed by Gao Hesheng, Sun Quanfu and others. He has never climbed to a high position. He has always been in front of Sun Quanfu's deputy. It is only a middle level in the palace, and there is no power to speak of. This time, because of the successive downfall of the two, he finally got on the leader of the waiter as he wished. Position, it is inevitable that he is in high spirits. Even in the face of the prestigious Li Xian, he did not say anything very flatteringly. He just took a small step back, waved his hand, and said "Please" without laughing.
"It's your father-in-law."
Li Xian knew that the old man in front of him was one of the loyal confidants of the Queen of Wu. Speaking of which, he also had an "old feud" with Li Xian - Li Xian ascended the throne for the first time in his previous life and was deposed, which was the good thing that the guy in front of him led people to do. At this time, seeing the look of a group of villains, Li Xian did not bother to talk too much with him, even red envelope money. He didn't give it, but simply answered. He raised his foot and walked into the palace gate. He rushed to the Qianyuan Hall speechlessly all the way. He just turned out of the screen of the apse bedroom. In his eyes, he saw Gao Zong lying on the brocade mat half sickly, while Wu Hou sat next to the couch. Prince Li Xian and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, sat on the Jin Dun, respectively. In addition, There is no one else.
Uh-huh, is it very well? It seems that a conclusion must have been reached. Damn, I'm afraid it's tricky this time! As soon as Li Xian looked at the situation in the house, his heart inevitably sank, but he didn't bring it to his face. He just rushed forward with a solemn face and saluted and said, "I have seen my father and mother, I have seen the prince and brother, and I have seen the eighth uncle."
"Here comes Xian'er. Let's be flat."
Gao Zong's bad complexion was obviously because of his old illness. When he saw Li Xian salute himself, he just raised his hand weakly and ordered weakly.
"Thank you for your father's kindness."
As soon as he saw Gao Zong's pale and haggard face like paper, Li Xian inevitably had a sour intention in his heart, but he did not dare to lose his honor. He thanked him politely and stood aside.
"Xian'er came just right. I'm just going to send someone to announce it. Alas, if Lun'er has half of your glory, I don't have to worry so much. I'm really pissed off, alas!"
Looking at Li Xian's extraordinary posture, Gao Zong first rolled a gentle and happy look in his eyes, but in a blink of an eye, his face became gloomy again. He shook his head sadly and said with a sigh.
That's true! Alas, the old man's ears are really terribly soft. You always believe such an obvious frame-up. Damn it! Hearing Gao Zong's words, Li Xian's heart thumped, and he had a strong impulse to scold his mother. However, this place was the imperial court, and he couldn't tolerate Li Xian's disgemoniousness. In desperation, he had no choice but to pretend to ask, "Father, why did you say this?" Lundi has always been stable, and all kinds of things he has done are not safe and abnormal. Isn't there anything wrong?"
"The seventh brother doesn't know anything. Alas, the eighth brother, he..., how to put it, I'm embarrassed to mention it. In short, the eighth brother's big mistake this time!"
Before Gao Zong opened his mouth, Li Xian, who was sitting aside, couldn't calm down first. He shook his head and sighed, as if Li Xulun had really committed a heinous and unforgivable crime.
"Cough." As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Queen Wu coughed a few times and attracted everyone's attention. Then she said slowly and said, "I think that Xian'er has got the news about what Lu'er has committed, and my mother won't say much. If this kind of boudoir scandal is about to spread, it will not be a good thing after all. Alas, it's also because of my negligence. Well, Lunar is old, and he shouldn't have been in the palace for a long time. Now that it has happened, it is also time to make up for the lost sheep. My mother discussed it with your father, or it's time for Lunar to go. Your eighth uncle and Xian'er also mean this. What do you think about this?
The boudoir scandal? What a boudoir scandal! Is there less than a maiden scandal caused by your old thief? It's really shameless! As soon as he heard what Queen Wu said, the anger in Li Xian's heart surged uncontrollably. The blue veins on his forehead jumped one after another, and his eyes were faintly evil in an instant...
