Chapter 630 The villain sues first 3
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Fan Libing was moving there, Gao Zong's face immediately looked a little uncomfortable and snorted coldly, which was full of displeasure.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter, this matter, well, there is something strange in this matter, and it seems that it should be investigated in detail..."
Obviously, compared with Gao Zong's displeasure, what worried Fan Libing was the task that could not be completed. Even if Gao Zong's face was as gloomy as the bottom of the pot at this time, Fan Libing still opened his mouth hard.
"Is Fan Aiqing teaching me how to do things, huh?"
Gao Zong didn't know that there was something wrong inside, but he just didn't want to investigate. This thought was revealed by Fan Libing, and his face could not be hung up. He stared at Fan Libing with a sad expression, and his tone was extremely unkind.
"Weichen dare not, Weichen dare not..."
Fan Libing originally insisted on his words. When he saw Gao Zong's fury, he couldn't stand it. He hurriedly stepped back a few steps and bowed down and dared not.
"Hmm, I..."
As an emperor, Gao Zong has always been tolerant. The courtiers are occasionally offended, and most of them laugh at him. However, as the father of the child, Gao Zong is definitely not allowed others to hurt a few sons who are already. At this time, he can't stand it when he sees Fan Libing's "insidious heart", even if he admits his mistake. Qian, Gao Zong didn't intend to make him feel better. He was ready to teach Fan Libing a lesson, but before he could say something cruel, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside. Gao Zong was stunned and immediately swept his eyes. When he saw that Wu Hou had led several little eunuchs to turn out from behind the screen, and his mind immediately came to the ground. Even with a smoke, the words stopped.
"I have met your majesty."
Queen Wu saw the embarrassment on Gao Zong's face at a glance, but it seemed to be invisible. She walked forward and gently saluted.
"Mei Niang is here. Didn't you go to the household department? Is it done?"
Gao Zong wanted to interrupt the attack of the granary when Empress Wu was away, but he didn't think that it had been done yet, so he was interrupted by Queen Wu. He couldn't help but feel a little upset, but he didn't dare to attack Queen Wu. He could only smile awkwardly and greeted randomly.
"When my concubine heard about what happened last night, she rushed back. I don't know the details. Has the granary ever been lost?"
In fact, Queen Wu did not go to the household department at all. She was in the palace before, and it was really in the front hall of Qianyuan Hall. The reason why Fan Libing came forward first was that she just wanted to explore the bottom of Gao Zong. If Gao Zong could not afford to "protect" Li Xian's heart, or Gao Zong did not see anything strange, Queen Wu did not plan. With more intervention, let the subordinates turn the case into an iron case first, and the Empress Wu can make a final final determination. In addition to removing Li Xian, he can also take this opportunity to implicate a group of courtiers who don't listen to greetings and clear the obstacles for his confidant. This is the most happy thing for the Empress Wu, but it is a pity that it is calculated. Although it was good, Gao Zong was stunned to "reve the law for personal gain". The Empress Wu could no longer sit back and ignore it, so she rushed to insert her leg at the critical moment, which made Gao Zong's perfunctory idea of the case fall into vain.
"Fortunately, Xian'er has been properly arranged, and the granary is not a big problem. I have issued an edict to the whole city to seize the bandits. Fan Aiqing will handle the case quickly!"
Although Gao Zong did not know the various arrangements of the Queen Wu, he knew that the appearance of the Queen Wu was really unfavorable to his efforts to save Li Xian. He did not intend to explain more about last night's case, but just said it lightly and tried to send Fan Lubing out.
"Your Majesty, Fan Aiqing has always been an old man, and he is indeed a responsible person. This case will be handed over to him for trial, which can ensure that there is no safety."
Queen Wu did not say anything against Gao Zong's opinion, but smiled gently. With Gao Zong's words, she gently and skillfully handed over the power of trial to Fan Libing.
"Well, I can trust Fan Aiqing's ability, but after all, this case was solved by Xian'er. I think it's better to call Xian'er to discuss it, and then make a final.
The reason why Gao Zong was so eager to drive Fan Libing out was that he did not want the Empress Wu to interfere in the matter. When the Empress Wu wanted to give the power of the presiding judge to Fan Libing, she was not very happy, but it was difficult to directly oppose the Empress Wu's proposal. The words turned around and Li Xian slipped out.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, but the search for the remaining bandits must not be delayed. It's better for Fan Aiqing to preside over the matter first, wait for Xian'er and Zhu Zaifu to come, and then discuss the matter."
As soon as she heard Gao Zong's words, Empress Wu immediately guessed Gao Zong's psychology. She just wanted to hand over the case to Li Xian for trial, but she didn't care, but just echoed with a smile.
"Well, that's it. That's it. Come on, go to Prince Xuan to enter the palace!"
Gao Zong was still very confident in Li Xian's ability. After hearing this, he agreed to his proposal. Gao Zong did not want to delay any more, so he was quite interested.
"No."
Cheng Denggao followed him. Hearing Gao Zong's order, he did not dare to delay a little. He hurriedly answered. He led several little eunuchs out of the bedroom and hurried to the East Palace all the way. However, he just got out of the Tianmen and saw that the golden chrome car Li Xian had just stopped at the small square. He didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and quickly grabbed the side of the car, respectfully waiting for Li Xian's appearance.
"The old slave met His Royal Highness!"
Two East Palace eunuchs rolled up the curtain of the car left and right, and several little eunuchs rushed to get off the steps. Li Xian bowed and got out of the carriage. Cheng Denggao saw the situation and hurried forward, and politely saluted and asked for peace.
"Gong Cheng is very polite. Let's stop."
For Cheng Denggao, a hardcore follower, Li Xian didn't like it, but he still had to do the big job, so he modestly raised his hand and shouted indifferently.
"Your Highness, you came just in time. The old slave just took you to the East Palace to announce your oracle, and you arrived in Coco. What a coincidence."
Cheng Denggao was afraid of Li Xian in his bones. Although he said bad things about Li Xian behind his back from time to time, he really smiled flatteringly in front of Li Xian.
"Well, lead the way."
There is no need to ask, Li Xian can also guess the intention of Gao Zong's summoning. Although he has already been psychologically prepared, when he is about to face it, Li Xian's heart is still dark. He is too lazy to talk nonsense with Cheng Denggao, but he frowned slightly and calmly. He said a word.
"No, Your Highness, please!"
Seeing that Li Xian was not in a high mood, Cheng Denggao did not dare to say more. He hurriedly bowed his promise and made a "please" gesture on his side, leading Li Xian into the palace gate, but did not directly introduce Li Xian to the Qianyuan Hall, which was forbidden inside, but gave Li Xian to the empty Deyang Hall and greeted him with a smile. Then he turned back to the Qianyuan Hall to restore his life.
"The old minister has met His Royal Highness the Prince."
Deyang Hall is the place where the sun is to go. The place is very spacious. At this time, Li Xian is alone in the hall. He can't help but be a little lonely. However, Li Xian doesn't care. He just stands quietly under the front, silently thinking about his thoughts, but he can't be quiet for long, and there is a sound of steady footsteps. Li Zhen, the king of Yue with a smiling face, has entered the hall and bowed respectfully to Li Xian from afar.
"Uncle Eight doesn't have to be polite."
In terms of generation, Li Zhen is naturally an elder. In terms of status, Li Xian is half a king, a king and a minister, which is the separation between heaven and earth. For more than half a year, Li Xian has long been used to Li Zhen's courtesy, but he will not feel very uncomfortable. At this time, in the face of Li Zhen's gift, Li Xian just naturally raised his hand. , indifferently and politely.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Xian can do whatever he want, but Li Zhen made a full set of etiquette and thanked him respectfully. Then he slowly walked to Li Xian and said with a warm smile, "Your Highness, I heard that something big happened to 'Deng Ji Company' last night. I don't know if everything was okay?"
"Fortunately, the soldiers took their lives, and the granary is not a big problem."
There were many doubts about last night. Li Xian didn't want to talk about it in private with Li Zhen. This was a simple answer, and it was full of perfunctory.
"That's good, that's good. Well, there is still some surplus grain in the old minister's house, not much. There are still three or five hundred stones. If His Royal Highness wants to use it, just let me know."
The reason why Li Zhen arrived in Deyang Hall in advance was that he wanted to explore the bottom of Li Xian and see if Li Xian noticed that he was also involved in last night's attack. However, as soon as he saw Li Xian, he did not want to say more, but he did not dare to ask questions randomly. Then he smiled and said goodly. Then, he lowered his voice and sold it to Li Xian. Good.
"In that case, I would like to thank my eighth uncle."
Li Xian had already received a letter before entering the palace. He knew that the decree of requisition of grain after Wu had reached the household. For Li Xian, the situation was inevitably a little tight - although Li Xian had bought a lot of grain from various families in advance with a few days earlier, but if he wanted to deal with more and more disaster victims, it was still tight, only It's just barely enough. At this time, when he heard that Li Zhen was selling well, Li Xian would not be polite to him, so he took it.
"It should be, it should be, the rookie of the old minister, who eats the king, should serve the country and can share some worries for the prince. In fact, the old minister is lucky. Well, the old minister has just come from the household department. It is said that the decree of the queen has arrived, saying that it is to collect grain from the rich households in the city. Your Highness must have a lot of good things in mind."
Li Zhen seemed to be planning to sell it to the bottom. After looking left and right nervously, she approached Li Xian's body and reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh? What's the matter? I know that Uncle Lao has bothered me, and I am very grateful.
Although the news was learned early in the morning, Li Xian did not intend to show it, but said in surprise, and then nodded and thanked with some sincerity.
"I dare not do it, I dare not do it. It's hard to raise my hand. It's not a big deal. Last night... Yo, Pei Xiang, Xue Xiang and other adults have also arrived."
After Li Zhen sold two good ones in a row, she wanted to circle the topic back to last night's war, but before she had time to speak, the footsteps at the door of the hall had sounded mixedly. She looked sideways and saw that it was Pei Xingjian and other prime ministers had also arrived, so she had to give up the idea.
