Chapter 678 Big Wave

When people are old, the sleep itself is shallow. In addition, his body is weak and bones are weak, and he can't be disturbed. Gao Zong has been used to sleeping alone in the past few years. He has never used anyone to sleep, even the Empress Wu is no exception. At this time, the whole dormitory is quiet, and there is no maid of honor eunuch, only Gao Zong lies alone on the mat. On the wooden couch of the thick brocade blanket, he fell asleep faintly. His old face was full of wrinkles, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and under his dark eyelids, his eyes bounced from time to time. It seemed that he had dreamed of something bad.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

In a burst of fine footsteps, Cheng Deng, who was helpless, crept out of the back of the screen, looked up at Gao Zong, who was sleeping soundly, swallowed his saliva fiercely, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out the look of panic on his face. He quickly grabbed the front of the bed and called twice in a hurry.

"Uh-huh!"

Gao Zong's most annoying thing is that someone is making trouble when he sleeps. At this time, he is suddenly awakened from nightmares. He has no good look. As soon as his eyes are opened, his anger has risen. He is so impatient that he turned over and snorted heavily.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened. Ming Chongyu and Dr. Ming were assassinated in the house!"

As soon as he saw that Gao Zong was about to attack, Cheng Denggao did not dare to delay a little and hurriedly reported the news of Ming Chongyan's death.

"Ah, how can this be? Who did it?"

Gao Zong has always been fond of Ming Chongyan. When he heard that Ming Chongyan was assassinated, he was suddenly anxious. He didn't care about the trouble of scolding Cheng Denggao, and asked with a surprised face.

"I don't know."

Although Cheng Denggao wanted to say that this matter was done by the East Palace, when the words came to his mouth, he had no courage and just answered.

"I don't know? Humph, I don't know. I don't know anything. Come and do something to me. Get out of here. Why don't you call Mei Niang, you son of a bitch! Waste!"

Gao Zong was woken up in the middle of his sleep. He was irritable. Then he was stimulated by the death of Ming Chongyan, and he was a little more irritable. Whether Cheng Denggao was innocent or not, he stamped his feet was a stinky scold.

"No, the old slave obeys the order."

Although it had been expected that there would be such a result after waking up Gao Zong, when Gao Zong was furious, Cheng Denggao was still scared and shudled all over. He was afraid that Gao Zong would be angry with himself. How dare he stay in the dormitory? He hurriedly answered and fled out of the room.

"I have met your majesty."

Shortly after Cheng Denggao went, Wu Hou rushed here. As soon as he saw Gao Zong, who was walking back and forth in the dormitory with great anxiety, he immediately flashed a trace of fine light in his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to say anything, but walked forward and respectfully blessed him.

"Mei Niang came just in time. I heard that Ming Chongyan was killed in the house. I don't know if it's true?"

Gao Zong has been used to relying on Queen Wu over the years. Seeing that Queen Wu has arrived, he is a little relieved, but his impatience has not been reduced much because of this, nor did he shout. He roared and asked questions.

"It's true in your Majesty's words. I heard that my concubine sent someone to the scene this morning. The details have not yet been known. I just heard that the thief broke into Mingfu for a very short time, and he did not rob/rob property. He was extremely ferocious. It should be undoubtedly a revenge!"

Although it has been a while since I heard the news, Queen Wu's heart still hurts so much that she wants to revenge for Ming Chongyan, which lays a foreshadowing in her words.

"Avenger? Does Dr. Ming have a grudge against people? Well, this..."

As soon as he heard the word revenge, Gao Zong couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He seemed to guess the subtext in Wu Hou's words, but he couldn't believe it. He meditated and said half of the words, and then there was no sound.

"Ming doctor has always been cautious and rarely evil with others. In addition, his martial arts skills are high. How many people can assassinate him in the world?"

Empress Wu was cruel to "plant" Li Xian, but she did not say it directly, but vaguely hinted that she had made up her mind to ask Gao Zong to infer the result by himself.

"Well, it's better to investigate this matter thoroughly first. Come on, pass on my will. All the courtiers above the four grades will go to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss the matter!"

Gao Zong was not stupid. He could hear that what Empress Wu implied was Li Xian. He also had such doubts, but he was suspicious. Gao Zong refused to make a decision randomly. He frowned and raised his voice and drank.

Gao Zong's decree was very light, just one sentence, but the eunuchs below were very busy, nothing else, just because today is Xun fake. Except for a few courtiers on duty, the vast majority of courtiers are on vacation at this time. It is really not easy to inform people one by one. However, as soon as the decree came out, no matter how difficult it was, no one dared to delay it. As a result, the whole capital was in a mess. A group of courtiers who got the will rushed to the Daming Palace. The whole road was full of traffic. It was so noisy. When the people of the capital saw the situation, they were all flustered, and rumors flew all over the city.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Gao Zong was summoned, and a group of courtiers did not dare to neglect it. They all rushed to the Xuanzheng Hall early. They gathered in groups and talked about the death of Ming Chongyan. The hall was full of buzzing. When they were talking hot, a shout suddenly sounded, and Li, dressed in a neat court uniform. Xian has slowly walked into the hall.

"I will see His Royal Highness the Prince."

As soon as they saw Li Xian arrive, the ministers and workers could no longer talk nonsense and bowed to worship each other.

"Let all love you be flat."

Li Xian's face was very awe-inspiring, and there was no smile at all. For the courtiers' salute, he just nodded plainly and casually ordered, so he strode forward to the brocade pier, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down with no expression.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing that Li Xian's face was wrong, a group of ministers and workers did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. They bowed and thanked, stood in their respective positions, waiting for the arrival of Gao Zong and his wife, but they couldn't help but look at Li Xian's eyes, because all the courtiers knew that Li Xiansu was evil and Chongyan, and With enough means to kill him, it is inevitable that there is speculation in his heart, but no one has the courage to say this in front of Li Xian. Naturally, silence can only be golden.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!"

In a strange silence, the sharp shouting sound of Cheng Denggao suddenly sounded at the corner of the apse, and even when they saw Gao Zong and his wife walked out in awe.

"I will see Your Majesty the Emperor, Queen Mother."

Seeing that Gao Zong and his wife had arrived, all the ministers did not dare to neglect them, and they paid their own big salutes.

"Exit's free."

Gao Zong waved his hand impatiently and shouted impatiently.

"Hangt, my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing that Gao Zong's tone was wrong, the courtiers couldn't help nagging in their hearts, but no one dared to be very rude at this time. They could only thank them in unison with all their thoughts and fell back to their original positions.

"All Aiqing should have known it. Last night, a thief broke into the doctor Ming Chongzan's house and brazenly assassinated him. Such a contempt for the court should not be indulged. What's a good plan for this, and they will come out."

After Gao Zong sat down, he did not speak again, but Queen Wu Huo Ran stood up, looked around the highness with a gloomy face, and opened his mouth angrily.

"What the Empress said is very true. I think that this must be caused by treacherous thieves, and it is also the evil behavior that disturbs our court. It can be said that it is a great crime. It must be thoroughly investigated and clearly, so as to find out the black hands behind the scenes and return the clarity of my court!"

As soon as Wu Hou's voice fell, Jia Chaoyin stood up and echoed with righteous indignation.

"Well, Jia Xiang's words are the way to seek the country. I deeply believe that this case is very important, and it is really appropriate to investigate and deal with it quickly. Why can Aiqing bear this heavy responsibility?"

Empress Wu obviously agreed with Jia Chaoyin's words. Before the rest of the ministers spoke, they had already affirmed it.

"The Empress is clear, and the old minister believes that this case is strange. It is not enough for those who are not virtuous and powerful to do it, and those who are involved in the court must also have a noble person who is enough to suppress the array. Therefore, the person who Wei Chen is the main judge is not His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Jia Chaoyin said a reason impassionedly and unexpectedly elected Li Xian as the main judge.

"Hum..."

Jia Chaoyin's proposal was really strange. Most of the courtiers didn't expect it. They exploded at that time, and the sound of random discussion soon sounded.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, Weichen thought that Jia Xiang said this very well. His Royal Highness came forward to preside over the case, and he would definitely solve the case as soon as possible. I beg Your Majesty and the Empress to make a clear decision!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is clear. His Royal Highness has repeatedly solved strange cases, and he has always made a clear decision. This important task must be without worry!"

"I'm seconded!"

"I also seconded the proposal!"

......

Before the ministers and workers had made a clear statement, they saw that Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others of the party of the Queen of Wu stood up and said one after another to support Jia Chaoyin's proposal. The support was really too strange. If they didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid they really thought that these people were all loyal to Li Xian's party. Of course, ministers The workers' eyes are bright, and they will not be confused by such illusions, but the doubts and puzzles in their hearts are a little deeper. The sound of chaos is also louder, but Li Xian seems to be very stable. The old god is sitting still on the ground, neither refuting nor thanking, and listening so calmly. It's as if it's none of your business.

"Well, what you said is very true. This is what I also have in mind. Everyone thinks that you are qualified for this case. I don't know if you dare to do it or not?"

After the Empress Wu let the courtiers discuss for a while, she pressed her hand and motioned the courtiers to calm down. She looked at Li Xian sitting in front of her with a solemn face and spoke peacefully. As soon as she said this, the eyes of the courtiers immediately focused on Li Xian. In an instant, there is a strange tranquility in the hall...
