[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 14

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu came down very quickly. Seeing Li Xian, who was crying and lying on the ground, he was also extremely shocked, and immediately stepped forward to help his Erlang up.

"Erlang, what's wrong with you?" Did someone bully his son?Or did that news get out?

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's expression was a bit gloomy, and he was wearing a dragon robe for the imperial court at this time, so he looked quite imposing.

Li Xian was also embarrassed to cry in front of his father, so he stopped crying immediately, and said to his father: "I just remembered some wrong things I did before, and I feel emotional..."

Who would believe this!

Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but glance at Wu Xu, but the latter shook his head, obviously not knowing what was going on.

How strange!

Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu are full of suspicions, especially because they always think that their Erlang has always been silent, has a good sense of advance and retreat, sometimes he is more like an adult than Dalang, why did he lose his composure today?

Could it be that he felt guilty for inheriting Dalang's position?

The two were puzzled, and seeing that Li Xian couldn't explain the reason, they could only sigh secretly.

The current situation is also hopeless.

Ever since Grandpa Sun said that Da Lang's body was no longer fit to be a king, the two of them had been racking their brains in order to arrange Da Lang's escape.

In the end, it was Li Hong himself who expressed that he did not want to go back to Chang'an...

As a result, news of the prince's death spread throughout the world.

Originally, after the two planned to 'bury' the crown prince, they immediately canonized Li Xian.

As a result, Li Xian remained silent, and Daoist Xiao Ming also raised objections.

This matter has been delayed again and again, making the ruling and opposition parties confused.

What's even more troublesome is that someone actually spread the rumor that "Pei Wang is not the Queen of Heaven's own son", this time even Wu Xu heard it.

Wu Xu is so angry!

Back then, in order to give birth to Li Xian, Sheng Jia had to stop halfway, not going to the village or going to the shop, and she was short of doctors and medicines. She almost lost her life!

Who dares to say that Erlang wasn't born by her, she wants to strangle him to death!

Li Xiaojiu is also angry, but he is more calm than Wu Xu. Taking advantage of the rumors, he sent a large number of secret guards. After nearly two months of investigation, he finally caught the murderer of Da Lang, Li Zhong and Li Xiao. Mafia...

This person is actually Li Sujie who has always been considered the most innocent by Li Xian!

In other words, in addition to Li Sujie, people from the Xiao family and the Wang family should be added.

The Xiao family of Lanling was originally a member of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, and it was not a young man's effort to take out a little secret medicine from the forbidden palace of the Southern Dynasty.

As for the Wang family, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu originally only exiled the mother's family of the deposed queen Wang family to Liaodong, and did not deal a big blow to his family. He even promoted Wang's young general to guard the frontier.

However, how could the Taiyuan Wang family be willing to fall from the top five families in the empire to the second-rate family in the "Surname Record"?

As a result, the two families, who were originally unwilling, joined forces and secretly took refuge in the "popular" King of Xun, Li Sujie.

What Li Sujie was thinking, Wu Xu didn't know, Li Xiaojiu personally arrested the case, and she didn't inquire about the result.

Come to think of it, when Li Xiaojiu thinks it through, he will definitely tell her.

On the contrary, Erlang's behavior today was really weird, and Wu Xu couldn't help wondering, did Erlang listen to the rumors and later found out that they were wrong, so he came to apologize?

Then you don't have to cry like this ==

Wu Xu was still guessing wildly, that student Li Xian here had recovered his facial paralysis, aside from his red eyes and nose, he really couldn't tell that this guy had just burst into tears!

"Father, my son will definitely pick up the burden left by brother, and I will not let you down!"

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but patted his son on the shoulder, and said: "The past is over, your mother and I will just look at you, Erlang..."

Li Zhi didn't understand why Erlang did this suddenly, but since Erlang agreed to take over the reserve position, he would definitely do it well!

As for what Master Ming said, he must ask for advice some other day. Since Dalang can escape death, it makes no sense that Erlang can't resolve it!

In July of the eighth year of Xianqing, Qin Tianjian predicted that a comet would appear soon.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu immediately convened a secret meeting with his confidantes, and then issued an order to order Si Yuan Tai Chang Bo Dou Dexuan, Si Xing Tai Chang Bo Liu Xiangdao and other nine people to be ambassadors of festivals, branching the world, and inspecting people's conditions.There is an edict ordering officials of the fifth grade and above in all state capitals to report what they know and not to conceal it.

One day in August of the eighth year of Xianqing, a comet appeared in the sky.

At the same time, Li Sujie, the king of Xun, colluded with the remnants of Goguryeo to kill the king and rebel, and was exposed by the inspectors of the twelve states.

When the ruling and opposition parties heard the news, they couldn't help being uproarious.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu took advantage of the situation to recall Li Sanlang, Wei Shuyu and others back to the court to try the case of King Xun's treason.

Li Sujie had been placed under house arrest by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu as early as the beginning of the year. At that time, he guessed that what he had done might have been exposed, but his father never dealt with him, and he still had a hint of luck.

After waiting for more than half a year, she was pulled out for trial. Li Sujie's mood was very complicated.

Especially when he saw that the presiding officer was a peach-eyed man who had a very bad reputation in Beijing but was appreciated by the queen, Li Sujie knew that he had no way out...

However, Li Sujie decided to take a gamble for the survival of his sons.

The interrogation process was not smooth.

Although the evidence collected by Li Sanlang and others secretly was very detailed, Li Sujie was not an idiot. At most, these evidences could point to his servant in the palace. As long as he pretended to be negligent, everyone would have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Li Sujie has not been deprived of his title until now, and he is still the prince and prince. It is not easy for Li Sanlang and others to torture him to extract a confession...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was so angry that he pointed at Li Sanlang, the chief interrogator, and yelled, "Don't you know the most about prisons?! How come you still can't get the confession?!"

When Li Sanlang heard the words, he didn't make any excuses for himself, but said indifferently: "It's the humble minister who is incompetent."

"Father, why don't you let my son try it..." His Royal Highness Pei Wang who was sitting on the side suddenly spoke.

In the past few days, His Royal Highness Pei Wang has been following his father to the court, and his sense of presence is very good. Some veteran officials are already considering whether to go to Zezi as soon as possible to ask the Emperor and Empress to confer Pei Wang as the crown prince.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was also very sure of his own Erlang's ability to handle affairs. Now that he heard that he was going to interrogate Li Sujie's case, he had no objection.

As a result, Li Sujie, who had been refusing to plead guilty all this time, took the initiative to plead guilty after having a secret meeting with His Royal Highness Pei Wang.

The government and the public couldn't help but be amazed, at the moment Xu Jingzong and other people who are interested in Xizhi have come forward to ask the second saint to confer the title of Prince Pei to the East Palace.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had no reason to disobey, immediately after discussing with Wu Xu, he issued an imperial edict to make Li Xian the crown prince.

When Li Xian first ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to intercede for Li Sujie's family members who had committed the crime of treason, asking the Second Sage to forgive Li Sujie's youngest sons.

Whether his move was sincere or a show, he was praised by all civil and military officials.

Wu Xu, who was raising her baby in the harem, heard that her family's Erlang had won the approval of the big and small foxes in the court because of the conspiracy of King Xun, so she couldn't help being happy.

"Erlang is really capable!" Wu Xu is now more than five months pregnant, and her movements are much more inconvenient than before, so she can only lie on her side on the couch and talk to Yang.

The news of the prince's sudden death earlier broke Yang's heart, so Wu Xu had to reveal a little bit of the truth to her.

Yang's temperament is open-minded, after hearing such an unimaginable thing, it didn't take long to accept it.

She didn't dare to say much about the court affairs, but Yang started to worry about Wu Minzhi's marriage.

"Erlang is naturally good...the old woman also praised Dalang for his prudence..." Yang Shi said, but changed the subject: "It's a pity for the little lady of the Pei family..."

Now that Li Hong had fled to death, the quasi-princess concubine who had been appointed for him would become a widow.

Wu Xu couldn't help but sighed, and said: "After all, we are sorry for him. When Jiulang comes back, I will tell him that I will give the little lady of the Pei family a good marriage..."

The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and the government did not encourage women to observe festivals, and it was common to remarry after the death of a husband.

But after all, that daughter of the Pei family was once appointed to the crown prince, so it is not easy to remarry.

In fact, Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu were not in a hurry to get married for Li Hong at the beginning, and it wasn't because of the trouble caused by the daughter of the Yang family!

Thinking of this, Wu Xu felt another headache, and asked Yang, "I heard that Da Lang (referring to Wu Minzhi) wants to postpone the marriage?"

When Yang heard this, she immediately looked distressed.

"Yeah, after all, Da Lang is still sad about the prince, and insists on refusing to get married..."

"Da Lang is very stubborn, Auntie, you can follow his wishes..." Wu Xu said helplessly, "Xu Xianggong, I will help him to settle the matter..."

When Mrs. Yang heard the words, she hurriedly said, "For trivial things, where is the working lady... Where Mrs. Xu is, it is enough for the old woman to go!"

It's not that Yang's pride, Xu's noble servants are not as prominent as Wu's, not to mention that Yang's rank is now higher than that of the mothers of princes, she personally apologized at the door, how much face was given to Xu.

Moreover, the crown prince was newly mourned, and wedding celebrations were banned for a year, so it was reasonable for Wu Dalang to refuse the wedding.

When Wu Xu thought about Yang's status, she stopped insisting and talked about Xiao Sanniang again.

After Xiao Sanniang followed Wu Xu and the others back to Chang'an, she lived in Daming Palace for more than ten days and then ran away.

It is said that he is not used to the life here in Chang'an, and it is terribly hot, why not go to the mountains with his elder brother!

Wu Xu had no choice but to let her go.

Speaking of this lost and found daughter, Wu Xu couldn't help but sigh again and again.

She was not born a woman, even though she has lived as a woman for many years, she still can't guess what a girl as old as Xiao Sanniang is thinking.

Wu Xu just hoped to compensate her for what she hadn't given to Sanniang for so many years, but Sanniang obviously didn't like it, it was really nerve-wracking!

Should we just find her a son-in-law and tie her up?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's thinking began to diverge again: last year's big exam, this year there are so many young talents in Beijing, why don't you recruit a son-in-law by the way~~~~

The author has something to say: Who should I give the little Sanniang =. =
