[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 15 Fisherman 9

For Li Tai, his brother, Li Zhi has always had complicated feelings.

Although the two are siblings, there is a big difference in age, and they have rarely been together since childhood. When Li Zhi was sensible, Li Tai had already established a literary museum with the support of his father, His Majesty Li Er, and accumulated a lot of political capital in the court. .

Li Silang is indeed a very talented person, and he is also good at recruiting talented people inside and outside the court. His long-sleeved and good dancing skills are not comparable to that of Prince Chengqian at that time.

It was not unreasonable for His Majesty Li Er to spoil him so much back then.

The reason why Li Zhi was able to ascend to the reserve position is actually inseparable from Li Silang's actions.

Whether it was for family affection or fame, Li Zhi never thought of killing Li Tai.

Assigning Li Taifa to Zhaoling to guard the mausoleum actually meant to protect him.

If Li Tai stays in Chang'an, he will definitely be involved with King Jing Li Yuanjing, Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai and others. At that time, Li Zhi wants to protect him. It is even more difficult for people!

Li Zhi originally thought that after the matter of Princess Gaoyang was resolved, he would release Li Tai, seal him a rich and wealthy city, and try to compensate him...

However, Li Zhi never thought that Li Tai would suddenly die in the palace!

"Why did King Qi die?" After Li Zhichu was shocked, his face was full of anger.

Who didn't know that when Li Tai was sent to the Zhaoling Palace, he declared to the outside world that he was going to serve the late emperor and queen, and to cultivate his body?It is absolutely impossible to send a person to Zhaoling to live in Zhaoling for a few months and then die. Isn't this sudden death?

Besides, Li Zhi sent half of his confidant guards to guard the Zhaoling Palace at that time, so who should be blamed if Li Tai's death is not Li Zhi's fault? !

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu showed a rare furious expression, which shocked the guards who came to report the news.

"I don't know about this humble position." The guard said honestly, "It's just that Princess Qi suddenly asked to summon the imperial physician last night, and this morning, she suddenly heard crying from the inner courtyard..."

"The lowly officials dare not be professional, so they invited Eunuch Cui to visit him, saying that King Qi had a sudden illness, and the treatment was ineffective, so he passed away..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's expression became even more ugly, and he asked, "Where is Cui Weng now?" In order to prevent any accidents on Li Tai's side, Li Zhi specially sent Cui's servant to serve in the palace, but unfortunately something happened.

"Eunuch Cui is in charge of the Liuxing Palace, and ordered the humble official to report the news as soon as possible, and ask the sage to make a decision!"

Li Tai's death will inevitably cause an uproar in the court. If all voices of doubt cannot be suppressed forcefully, Li Zhi's rule will encounter unprecedented threats.

What's more, at this time Changsun Wuji had just secretly arrested King Jing Li Yuanjing, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Baling and others. If Li Tai's matter could not be resolved first, this treason case would not go on trial...

The clan will inevitably put pressure on Li Zhi.

Just when Li Zhi's face was pale and he didn't know how to make a decision, the eldest grandson spoke up.

"The sage may wish to truthfully announce the death of King Qi..."

Li Zhi couldn't help looking at Changsun Wuji, "Uncle means..."

Changsun Wuji twirled his beautiful beard, got up slowly, and said, "King Qi was originally in the palace for cultivation, so there must be a reason for his sudden death..."

"The old minister happened to find out that some time ago, the son-in-law Fang Yiai had been secretly sending people to spy on the palace. It seems to be related to the matter of King Qi. As long as the interrogation is strict, the truth will be found out!"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji turned to the guard again, and said, "You go with the old man first, and talk about the palace affairs..."

Hearing that, the guard didn't dare to agree immediately, but just looked up at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

So Changsun Wuji took the palace guard and resigned.

Li Zhi sat alone in the Liangyi Hall for a long time, and suddenly knocked the little girl in front of him over on the couch...

Three days later, the news of Qi Wang Li Tai's death spread to the capital, and the government and the public were shocked.

Before anyone could question the death of King Qi, Sun Wuji, the chief assistant of the court, presented evidence that it was Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law, Fang Yiai, who confessed to murdering King Qi.

The courtiers were caught off guard, not only Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law's wife was suspected of murdering the current prince, but Princess Gaoyang herself was suspected of colluding with Princess Baling and the two son-in-laws in colluding with the vassal king to rebel!

This crime is so serious that officials in the DPRK and China who have friendship with several princess son-in-laws can't avoid it.

The censors, led by Chief Assistant Sun Wuji and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Chu Suiliang, started the trial for several months.

Li Ke, king of Wu involved in the case, was escorted back to Beijing from Wudi thousands of miles away. During his detention, he asked to see His Majesty Li Xiaojiu several times, but was rejected by Changsun Wuji.

King Jing Li Yuanjing fell ill shortly after he was imprisoned. Even so, he did not receive extra care.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu avoided the banquet and was not honored by the officials on the grounds of mourning the death of the king of Qi during the New Year's celebration.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji submitted the trial results of Princess Gaoyang's treason case to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

The two princes, Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Yuanjing, King of Jing, two princesses, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Baling, and three sons-in-law, Fang Yiai, Chai Shaowu, and Xue Wanche, were suspected of conspiracy to usurp the throne.

In addition, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, the concubine of the princess of Jiujiang, who lost his mind, and Yuwenjie, the servant, sat down to communicate with Fang Yiai and was sentenced to exile.In addition, those who were implicated, such as Wu Wang's younger brother Shu Wang Li Min, Liang Guogong Fang Yizhi, Xue Wanche's younger brother Xue Wanbei, etc., were either relegated to common people or relegated. Even Fang Xuanling, who had passed away for many years, was also implicated and dismissed. catering...

As soon as the verdict came out, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu expressed his intolerance, and asked Changsun Wuji if he could punish Jiangxia Wang Li Daozong and others lightly, but Changsun Wuji refused.

Li Zhi had to sign the judgment edict.

The two princes and two princesses were bestowed upon themselves, and the three sons-in-law were sentenced to beheaded.Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and the concubine of the princess of Jiujiang lost his mind, and they were all exiled to Lingnan, and their family members were not official slaves.Abolished Li Ke's mother and younger brother Li Min, king of Shu, as a commoner, and placed him under house arrest in Bazhou.Fang Yi was directly demoted to Tongling Commandant of Chunzhou, and Xue Wanche's younger brother Xue Wanbei was exiled to Jiaozhou...

When the case was concluded, the world was shocked.

So far, all the officials in the court have been in awe of the eldest grandson, and even the clan and royal relatives have begun to avoid him...

After the treason case of Princess Gaoyang, Li Zhi never showed a happy face for dozens of days, and he didn't even recruit his concubine once.

Wu Xu is very worried about Li Xiaojiu's state.

After Xiao Shunzi hinted for the nth time, Wu Xu had no choice but to bring himself some refreshments and go to Liangyi Hall to find Li Zhi.

At the gate of Liangyi Hall, Wu Xu was stopped.

"Sister, please inform me that Wu Zhaoyi is asking to see..." Wu Xu's maid said to the palace who was blocking them.

"Yes, please Zhaoyi later..." When the two palace servants heard this, they gave Wu Xu a curious look, and hurried into the palace to report.

Apparently, someone had told them a long time ago what to do if they met Wu Xu.

Standing outside the door, Wu Xu stared at the familiar palace in front of him, suddenly suddenly...

Back then, she stayed in Liangyi Palace for quite a long time, and she was familiar with every corner of this palace as Wanchun Palace...

I don't know if Liangyi Hall still retains its original appearance?

She went in to inform the palace and soon came out, and her attitude towards Wu Xu became more respectful, "My lady, the saint is summoning his eldest grandson right now, why don't you go to the side hall to rest first?"

Naturally, Wu Xu had everything he needed to do, so he followed the palace man to the side hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Changsun Wuji coming out.

The palace man who led the way was taken aback, and turned sideways to avoid it.

Wu Xu had met Changsun Wuji before, but he didn't expect to see him for a few years. Changsun Xianggong's description had changed so much. It seemed that he was a little less refined and elegant, but more powerful and powerful people would have fierce murderous aura...

Wu Xu also bowed his head and avoided the side. Changsun Wuji didn't pay attention to them at all, and strode out of the Liangyi Hall.

"This gentleman is so rude, he doesn't pay attention to his wife!" A Wei, the maid who followed Wu Xu, was very upset and muttered in a low voice.

Wu Xu glanced at her, and said calmly: "Eldest Sun Xianggong is a Taiwei and Prime Minister. Even a saint would not dare to be rude when he saw him. What are we waiting for? Don't leave!"

Hearing the words, the leading palace man hurriedly led Wu Xu to the main hall.

Before reaching the entrance of the main hall, the servant of the king had already come up to him from a distance.

Since Cui Nei's attendant came back from the Zhaoling Palace, Li Zhi let him serve as the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and raised the king's attendant from the harem to be a personal servant.

"Miss Zhaoyi, you are here~~~~~~" Wang's servant was always smooth, and he had already seen that Wu Xu's Majesty Li Xiaojiu had an unusual weight in his heart, so he was very affectionate towards Wu Xu.

And when Wu Xu served His Majesty Li Er in front of the imperial court, he was also favored by the royal servants, so he was very happy to see the royal servants.

"My lord, are you safe?" Wu Xu made a gesture to salute the royal servant, which made the old eunuch say 'dare not'.

Wu Xu then laughed and said, "I have today, and I want to thank you and Cui Weng for your advice. If you two have free time, just come to my Baifu Hall for a sit down..."

Wang's servant hurriedly responded with a smile.

"My lady is now an honored Zhaoyi, and she is favored by the sage, her future is limitless..." Wang Neishi pointed out.

Now the high-ranking positions in the palace are only the empress and concubine Shu. Judging by Wu Xu's momentum, it is hard to guarantee that he will be crowned imperial concubine in just a few days!

It's just that Wu Xu's thoughts are not on the same frequency as Wang's servant.

What Zhaoyi and imperial concubine are not all Li Xiaojiu's concubine, there is no difference!

So what if she became a queen?

Thank you very much!

Some time ago, in order to suppress Concubine Xiao Shu, Queen Wang organized the full moon banquet for Xiao Wulang and Xiao Sanniang to be extremely luxurious, and she was exhausted, but she didn't see Li Xiaojiu go to Anren Hall more than a few times.

On the contrary, Wu Xu got a lot of benefits!

"No matter how good the future is, it's just a mess╮╭" Wu Xu waved his hands nonchalantly when he heard this, as long as Li Xiaojiu is covering him, even being a maid is more comfortable than being a queen.
