Chapter 171 Li Xian wants to persuade
Shangguan Wan'er nestled inside Li Xian's arms and looked at him from time to time.
This heroic prince was not outstanding a few years ago, and he did not do anything too much.
But I heard that in recent days, I have worked very hard, whether it is learning poetry and etiquette, or socializing, it is very appropriate.
Not to mention, he had just quelled the border rebellion between Tubo and Turks.
Li Jun's achievements outside gradually spread to the inner palace, and Shangguan Wan'er became more and more curious about him.
When I saw him today, it seemed like he had been transformed and had become a different person.
From Li Jun's tense face, Shangguan Wan'er inferred that it must be an important matter for the prince to enter the palace on a snowy night today.
Thinking of his attack a few days ago, she guessed that it was probably related to that incident.
Shangguan Wan'er is not Empress Wei. She is a woman with clear heads. She made a soft voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince must have something important to report, I will leave."
Wen Xiang and Nether Jade left him, and Li Xian's chest felt empty.
But when he saw his son Li Jun was tense, he was ashamed of Shangguan not leaving, so he didn't say anything. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally let it go.
When Shangguan Wan'er's rustling skirt completely disappeared into the area of the hall, Li Juncai said seriously: "Father, my son has found out the mastermind behind it."
"Really?" Li Xian showed joy on his white and fat face. He never expected that this matter would be investigated so quickly.
"Who is it? Dare to harm my beloved son!"
"Cui Shi, Minister of the Secretariat!"
The sound was like a bell, and Li Jun looked at Li Xian calmly, not tolerating him with a slight cowardice.
"It's him..." Li Xian's voice was full of suspicion.
"Why did he harm you?"
"I don't know that, but I should be dissatisfied with my son's participation in the government."
At this time, Li Jun was not able to connect with Lu Jingzhang. He didn't know whether Chen Xing had been caught and whether Dali Temple had obtained evidence of Cui Xi's involvement in the case.
I can only make a vague sentence first and strive to gain Li Xian's approval.
"Just!" Li Xian sighed: "You are the prince, and it is appropriate to deal with the government. What is he? He is just an official that I have promoted for the sake of peace."
"What qualifications does he have to doubt you!"
Li Xian's angry voice echoed in the hall and had not dissipated for a long time.
Outside the hall, Shangguan Wan'er, who had never walked away, also held her ears and listened carefully.
But she did this not to inform anyone in the future, but to survive in the inner palace better.
The more information she has in her hands, the more obvious her advantages will be.
Li Jun in the hall was completely unaware of the walls, and still said to himself: "Mr. Cui's thoughts are unknown to his son. He colluded with Cui Ling, a clan's brother, to instruct Chen Xing, the official of the Zuo Yulin Guard Banner, to be their inner supporter, sawing the branches of the big tree in front of the Tianjin Bridge in order to hurt the child.
"The matter has been found out, so please decide."
"Everyone, the evidence is there?" Li Xian rarely showed a quiet face.
His tone was cold, and Li Jun couldn't understand his thoughts.
He only responded respectfully: "It can basically be verified to be true."
"Catch them, arrest them all!" Li Xian gritted his teeth and spitted out these words.
Li Jun pretended to be puzzled: "What the father meant is that Mr. Cui also arrested him?"
Li Xian's face stopped and a figure suddenly popped out of his mind.
That was his good sister, Princess Taiping.
Li Xian also knew the relationship between Cui Xi and Taiping.
If he wants to move him, he must first seek the meaning of Taiping. Otherwise, if Taiping cries and makes trouble, he will really shake his hands.
"All criminals below Cui Shi have been arrested."
Li Xian didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was already expressed very clearly.
Li Jun was very satisfied with the case when it reached this point.
But at this moment, Li Xian called Shangguan Wan'er in and drafted an imperial edict.
Shangguan Wan'er wrote it perfectly, and within a moment, a masterpiece was completed.
Because the imperial edict was issued clearly, it naturally had to be delivered to the presiding official of Dali Temple first.
When Li Xian saw his son suffer, he felt a lot of pain in his heart and rarely looked like a kind father.
Unable to wait for dawn, Sun Fulu was ordered to go to Dali Temple to announce the order and ordered them to arrest people overnight.
Li Jun thought to himself that this imperial edict came by coincidence. I think that now Lu Jingzhang and the others are catching people in Xingyifang.
With this imperial edict, the actions of several people can be justified.
He wanted to return to the East Palace immediately to rest for a while, and he was very tired even though he was busy all day long.
But he didn't expect that before he could speak, Li Xian was reluctant to keep him.
"Jun'er, the road is slippery on the snowy day. You don't have to go back tonight. Just rest in Shangyang Palace."
Li Jun had no choice but to obey his orders.
At this time, the sweet and lovely Shangguan Wan'er also smiled at him and expressed her welcome.
She should be more than forty now, but she really can't tell at all.
With a fair face and a round face, perhaps due to the limited lighting conditions in ancient times, Li Jun could not see the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
Or maybe he had applied several layers of powder, and he happily agreed and took big steps to the side hall where there were already prepared bedding.
He could fall asleep simply by washing up.
Alas, Shangguan Wan'er looks much more charming than Queen Wei.
Like a woman, this is his sincere thought from the bottom of his heart.
Almost as the imperial edict was passed to Dali Temple, news also received from the Prince of Dejing's mansion.
Li Xian actually ordered the whole city to search for Cui Ling, which Wu Sansi did not expect.
He thought that everything would go quietly in the dark.
After pondering for a moment, he began to have an epiphany.
Li Xian was sending a threat signal to Cui Xi.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cui Ling has been arrested, so Cui Xi will definitely not be clean.
But Cui Xi was a fourth-rank official and a guest of honor for Princess Taiping. Li Xian didn't want to move him immediately.
He is waiting for someone to express his opinion.
Whether it is Cui Xi or Taiping, he always has to give him an explanation.
Therefore, he mobilized a large number of troops to search for Cui Ling and others in Luoyang City, in order to remind the hidden thieves.
Don’t be ill-intentioned, I want to protect the prince.
When the informant came, Wu Yanxiu was also at the Prince's Mansion, and he also listened to all the news.
Li Xian's actions made him very dissatisfied.
When he blocked the idle people, he spoke, "Prince, what does Your Majesty mean?"
"Didn't he always look down on the prince? Why did he make a big fight? Besides, he still has the peace of mind."
Wu Sansi took a sip of tea and his face was sparse, not as anxious as Wu Yanxiu.
"The return of the prince's victory was a rare achievement in ancient times. No father did not like a smart and capable son."
"The prince said that Your Majesty began to value the prince?"
Wu Sansi said coldly: "This is an obvious thing. You only saw it today?"
"I told you earlier that you should not only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. You should pay more attention to politics and make achievements, so that you can become the pillar of our Wu family in the future."
"But look at you, you have nothing to do and have no achievements all day long. Now, even your marriage with Anle has failed. Let me ask you, do you still have any ambition? Do you want to live under Wu Yanzong in the future?"
