The first thing Li Xian did after returning to Luoyang was to plead guilty. Although almost a year had passed, he still had to make a statement about the fact that his accidental disappearance made the whole Luoyang city frightened.

The hall of Zhenguan was full of warmth. For Li Xian's return, everyone from Li Zhi to Li Lingyue expressed great welcome. After not seeing each other for a year, Li Xian felt that the one who had changed the most was probably Li Xian. He was much more mature and stable before. Although he was still a young man, his expression gave Li Xian the illusion that he was a middle-aged man.

Li Xian would naturally bring a lot of things with him when he came back. Dashi was richer than Sasan Persia. Although Li Xian restrained the soldiers from looting along the way, he still got a lot of good things.All kinds of exotic accessories were brought out by Li Xian. Of course, these things were for parents, brothers and sisters to try out. The real gifts have already been sent to the palaces along with the list.

Of course, apart from Li Xian, Li Lingyue is probably the one who has changed the most. The 14-year-old girl has begun to take shape. She has gathered the advantages of her parents and has an outstanding temperament. Coupled with the halo of a princess, Li Xian suddenly feels that those beautiful princesses written in the novel are It is not an exaggeration to say that many people admire things.

Because Li Xian just came back, they let Li Xian go back to their palace after reminiscing about the past, and at this time Zheng Qi was waiting in the palace—because of Li Xian, although Zheng Qi had already returned to Luoyang today, the real face saint But tomorrow, it can be regarded as a day of rest for him.

When he returned to the palace, Li Xian felt as if he had passed away. From Damascus, where the environment was slightly harsh, to return to his exquisite and gorgeous mansion, Li Xian suddenly had the feeling he had when he just passed through and saw the real version of Daming Palace.

After Zheng Qi saw Li Xian came back, he felt a little dazed. At first, he was still thinking about whether it was because of Li Xian's affairs, but after a long time, he felt that there must be something wrong. He couldn't help pinching Li Xian's face and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xian turned his head and looked at Zheng Qi seriously and said, "I have been here for ten years."

From the age of 14 to 24, Li Xian felt that he seemed to have done a lot of things, but he also felt that he hadn't done anything earth-shattering.

After hearing this, Zheng Qi also felt a little emotional. Ten years is enough for a young boy to grow into a handsome young man. However... Zheng Qi seems to be unable to feel the passage of time on Li Xian.

It's not that his appearance and height have not changed, but that Li Xian's state of mind has never changed. He is still the same person as he was before. Well, the biggest change is probably that he is getting bolder and more courageous. It's getting more and more unreasonable.

Zheng Qi patted Li Xian's head and said: "It's only ten years, there will always be a second ten years, and a third ten years."

Li Xian turned his head and hugged Zheng Qi's waist: "No, I just remembered it suddenly. By the way, let's bring Ah Jin to play tomorrow. I haven't seen him for a year. It's strange."

Zheng Qi simply picked him up and said, "It's hard to get a chance to be alone, can you stop thinking about others?"

Li Xian didn't know where the point of the joke was, he leaned on Zheng Qi's shoulder and couldn't help laughing, while laughing, he said, "How old are you, that you are jealous of your own brother?"

Zheng Qi's head was full of black lines and he stopped talking, and threw him directly on the bed. After a while, Li Xian's laughter turned into moans and begging for mercy.

To be honest, the two of them basically didn't have sex this year. There were really too many things. Li Xian himself might have nothing to do, but Zheng Qi had a lot of things. Although he was a lieutenant general, Li Xian regarded him as a The main general used Xue Rengui and Gao Kan to each lead the [-]st Army, and then Zheng Qi also led the [-]st Army alone. Of course, Zheng Qi probably had fewer soldiers.

Both Xue Rengui and Gao Kan turned a blind eye, they are not too young, Datang needs new generals, and now among the younger generation, they are really optimistic about Zheng Qi, Of course, Zheng Qi's performance also blocked everyone's mouths, and capable people can be respected everywhere.

Although Zheng Qi and Li Xian were both on the front line this year, the two of them stayed together less often. After all, Zheng Qi was going to fight, while Li Xian was going to sit in the rear. To be honest, this close separation was too uncomfortable, and Even when Zheng Qi came back, the two of them didn't dare to mess around, after all, it was not their own territory, and there were many eyes and ears around, even if everyone was gossiping, the two of them were too close to really send out the evidence.

So after he came back, Zheng Qi had no scruples, and the next day the grand meeting was over there. Li Xian hadn't woken up yet, and when he woke up, the feeling of sore back and back pain made him feel old again in a trance Illusion—old fart, brother is only 24!

When Zheng Qi Miansheng came back, he saw Li Xian lazily lying in the yard basking in the sun, like a cat that only had enough food and drink, lazy and cozy.

"How is it?" Li Xian couldn't help asking, looking at Zheng Qi sitting beside him.

"Huh? It's okay, I just asked a little about Dashi. But..." Zheng Qi hesitated at this point.

Li Xian looked at him with some doubts, Zheng Qi had no choice but to continue: "The wind direction is a little bit wrong recently, you can honestly rest for two days to find out the truth."

"What's wrong?" Li Xian felt that there must be something wrong when he heard it.

"Two days ago, the prince's counselor, Wei Chengqing, wrote a letter of advice, which was about the prince."

"Prince? What did he do again? Wei Chengqing...is it A Niang's person?" Li Xian's first reaction was this. To be honest, Li Xian and Empress Wu had been pinching each other for a long time. Xian began to think about whether Empress Wu insisted on stumbling and succeeded.

Zheng Qi shook his head and said: "No, that man is a rare and loyal man. He remonstrated with the crown prince because rumors have been rampant in the past year, saying that the crown prince is quite sensual and flirting with household slaves and others."

"House slave?" Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi with some astonishment: "Isn't it what I thought?"

Zheng Qi was helpless: "Otherwise?"

Li Xian's mouth twitched: "Because of us?"

Zheng Qi's face darkened: "How can he compare with those household slaves?"

"No, no, no, I mean, is it because of the two of us that the prince is... um." To be honest, although Li Xian never thought that Li Xian was a lover, he never thought that Li Xian would be a womanizer Ah, this is not the same as his personality.

Zheng Qi shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with us, don't go to the East Palace if you have nothing to do recently."

Li Xian thought for a while: "Probably not, if there is anyone who can persuade him now, it is only me."

"The Queen of Heaven will not let him live."

"If he's not alive, I'll be the next one to die." Li Xian said calmly, "I'm not such a saint. I insist on saving someone who can't be saved, but Li Xian did a good job as a prince. There is nothing unacceptable, is there? As for whether A Niang can still ascend the throne as the emperor, this is not considered now. If Li Xian is deposed, then when the crown prince is established again, do you think it will be a rain of blood? Fishy?"

Zheng Qi thought for a while and sighed, Li Xian was right, even now he would not say that in order to make Li Xian the emperor, he asked him to find a woman to have a child.

"Forget it, you...be careful. I suspect that the prince is so self-deprecating, maybe there is something hidden."

Li Xian rubbed his waist and said, "Don't worry, even if I want to persuade you, I have to rest first before talking." He gave Zheng Qi a look while talking.

Zheng Qi rubbed his face shamelessly and said: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the East Palace for a few days."

I'll go, beast!

After all, Zheng Qi didn't go too far, after all, it was impossible for Li Xian to just go back to the palace and do nothing after returning from the front line, so he had to show his face anyway.And during this process, Li Xian also observed Li Xian. To be honest, he felt that Li Xian had indeed changed a little, became more silent, not as active and dazzling as before, but he didn't look like he was indulging in sensuality either. After much deliberation, Li Xian decided to talk to Li Xian.

And Li Xian obviously wanted to talk to Li Xian, but when Li Xian went to the East Palace to look for him, he couldn't find a word for several times. Li Xian seemed to know what he wanted to say. When it was important, Li Xian changed the topic away, no matter how stupid Li Xian was, he knew that Li Xian didn't want to talk about it.

Then there are two situations if you don't want to talk about it, one is that you don't want to listen to any advice at all, and the second is... the East Palace is not a suitable place to talk.

Li Xian wasn't sure what Li Xian meant, so he didn't say anything, but Li Xian unscrupulously brought his male pets, ahem, those so-called household slaves with him. At first, the two of them were restrained. But when it was time to eat, Li Xian felt that he couldn't eat anymore.

Li Xianna was simply playing with that boy unscrupulously. Yes, boy, speaking of it, although Datang was considered masculine, but rich and noble families usually raise boys in their teens. According to Li Xian What I know is basically because I was relatively young and my face hadn't opened yet. At that time, there was a kind of indisputable beauty.

The one next to Li Xian is a very fair and beautiful boy. If he wears women's clothes, people will believe that he is a woman. Of course, this is not only about his appearance, but also his demeanor. To be honest, Li Xian can't stand such a mother For a boy, he can't stand Li Xian even more, tell me...why did you find such a transvestite?It's better to go directly to the girl, why bother?

If Li Xian was so presumptuous, Li Xian could only pretend that he didn't see it. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't come.

It's just that Li Xian hasn't forgotten his younger brother in his busy schedule. He looked at Li Xian's eyes and heart and said with a smile: "Why is Qilang so quiet? I still have some beautiful household slaves here, not as good as you choose one?"

Fuck, I'm here to help you, why are you hurting me like this?After doing this, Li Xian felt that the day when he could not get out of bed after lying in bed for three days was not far away.

Li Xian glared at him angrily: "You're almost done, if you do that, I'll leave."

Li Xian's expression finally became a little more serious, and he said with some disinterestedness: "It's really disappointing, that's all, you go down first."

After Li Xian waited for the boy to retreat, the disgusting feeling was finally not so strong. He looked up at the rather decadent Li Xian and couldn't help but said: "Your taste is really getting stronger."

In the end, Li Xian just said lazily with drooping eyebrows and eyes: I am normal, but Zheng Qingcheng is old and you don't dislike the heavy taste of the material. "

What Li Xian can't hear the most is that others compare Zheng Qi to a male favorite. Damn, every one's eyes are used to express anger?How can Zheng Qi, who is so hot and aura, look like a male favorite?

So Li Xian straightened his face and said, "Don't compare your dirty things with Qingcheng, and be careful next time, I'll turn my face."

Li Xian raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile and said: "You are defending him. Since you won't let me compare, you are talking about the difference between him and Hu Nu?"

Li Xian looked at him and sneered: "I told you, don't compare him with those of yours, don't you understand?"

Say shit!If you really want to say it, don't you still compare Zheng Qi with those male favorites?This is insulting!

As soon as Li Xian's expression changed, he immediately lifted the desk in front of him, stood up, pointed at Li Xian's nose, and cursed: "How dare you talk to me like that, do you still have me as a prince in your eyes?"

Li Xian... Li Xian didn't lift the desk, but stood up with a bad face and said, "If you want others to respect you, the crown prince must first respect the ministers of the court."

Li Xian's answer was simple: "Get lost!"

So Li Xian rolled out of the East Palace gracefully.And the news of him and Li Xian's unhappy breakup spread quickly for some reason, and even Zheng Qi came to ask when he came home from get off work.

However, others were guessing whether it was because the Crown Prince was jealous of the King's army, but Zheng Qi asked directly, "What kind of game are you playing?"

Li Xianzheng hugged the white tiger and rubbed it in various ways, then raised his head and asked, "How do you know that I didn't really fall out with him?"

Zheng Qi sat down and pinched Fatty Bai's ears and said: "You and Emperor Xiao Jing were not the same back then, how could you really fall out with the prince today?"

If something really went wrong, Li Xian probably already started discussing with him how to abolish the crown prince.

Li Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know what he meant, I just followed him."

Zheng Qi understood in an instant: "It seems that the prince's control over the East Palace is no longer possible."

Li Xian also thought of it to some extent, if it wasn't for this, why would Li Xian act with him like this?It must be because he didn't dare to say too much in the East Palace.

But he was also a little puzzled: "I reminded him a year ago, and he did a good job at that time, why did it suddenly happen again?"

Zheng Qi's expression was unpredictable: "The East Palace is still within the imperial city after all, and the Queen of Heaven can even control your palace, let alone the East Palace?"

Li Xian thought so too, now he dare not say that there is no Empress Wu in his palace of King Ying, this is the result of his and Zheng Qi's hard work for ten years, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for Li Xian.

It's just that he has to meet Li Xian anyway to remind him not to hide things in the East Palace.

Zheng Qi knew what he wanted to do by looking at his expression, he pondered for a while and said: "Since he is protecting you, leave this matter to me."

Zheng Qi is always more free than him. The most important thing is that Zheng Qi has more people under him than him.It's just that he thought it would take a few days for Zheng Qi to talk to Li Xian, but Zheng Qi came back the next day after saying this and told him that it was done.

Li Xian: =口=!

Originally, Li Xian thought that this matter was almost done, even though Li Xian had a hard time, he could only do so much.

As a result, within two days, Li Xian's household slave, Zhao Daosheng, came out and pointed out that Li Xian ordered them to kill Ming Chongyan!

Li Xian was stunned by this new year's drama, not only he was surprised by everyone, Ming Chongyan died in full view, no one pushed him at that time, how did this murder happen?

Zhao Daosheng was naturally thrown to Jing Zhaoyin for interrogation. Zhao Daosheng's confession was that Li Xian asked him to drug Ming Chongyan, which caused Ming Chongyan to lose consciousness and then broke his neck.

Li Xian almost died laughing when he heard this: "Is he mentally handicapped when he is the prince or is Ming Chongyan a mentally handicapped one? Since he can take medicine, why doesn't the prince just poison him? And let him run to the East Palace to fall to his death in a delirious state? You Ming Chongyan, I don't believe he will have no defense against the crown prince, he will eat whatever the crown prince gives him."

You must know that Ming Chongyan's so-called Xiangci has offended Li Xian to death, can he prevent Li Xian from killing him?What's more, Ming Chongyan is a witch doctor himself, and has researched all kinds of poisons. It's no wonder that a small hallucinogenic drug can make him famous.

However, Zhao Daosheng's real purpose is obviously not this. Then he said that the crown prince has set up a net to kill Ming Chongyan. On the one hand, he has prepared medicine, but on the other hand, he has prepared killers and weapons. If the medicine fails, he will send someone to pretend to be a bandit to kill Lost Ming Chongyan.

Li Xian was in a bad mood when he heard this confession. Wasn't it because Zhao Daosheng accused Li Xian and then Empress Wu sent people to search the East Palace, and found hundreds of armors and weapons? Li Xian was convicted of treason.

Unexpectedly, Ming Chongyan died in a different way, and the development of things is still the same.So is it true that Li Xian's killing of Ming Chongyan in history was framed by Empress Wu?

Of course, according to Empress Wu's love for Ming Chongyan, she would definitely not send someone to kill Ming Chongyan just to frame Li Xian. The biggest possibility is that Empress Wu took advantage of Ming Chongyan's death.

Sure enough, after Zhao Daosheng's confession came out, someone advised to search the East Palace.

Li Xian sneered at the time and said: "It's so majestic. Just relying on the so-called confession of a household slave to search the East Palace. According to Tang law, even if you search ordinary houses, you need to have definite evidence. It's the turn of the East Palace to open your mouth." Search now, you still have the emperor in your eyes!"

The newly appointed Zuo Jian Si Yilang immediately said: "Isn't Zhao Daosheng's confession considered evidence?"

Li Xian squinted at him: "How can his words be regarded as evidence?" After saying this, Li Xian turned his head and said to Li Zhi: "Emperor, Zuo Jian Si Yilang despises the crown prince. Please punish him." A crime of disrespect."

Zuo Jian Si Yilang wanted to argue but was dragged by his colleagues around him. When Zuo Jian Si Yilang saw the other party shaking his head, he suddenly became sober, Nima, isn't it courting death to carry the King of England?

Zuo Jian Si Yilang also knelt immediately: "The Emperor Mingjian, the minister is only afraid that his loyal minister will die and be wronged. Please ask the Emperor to investigate the case of Dr. Ming thoroughly as soon as possible, so that he can be rewarded for his injustice and comfort his spirit in heaven!"

As soon as Zuo Jian Si Yilang said this, many ministers echoed one after another.

The person who dragged Zuo Jian Si Yilang just now curled his lips while lying on the ground, wouldn't it be enough to say that earlier?The only one who can order the search of the East Palace is the Emperor or the Queen of Heaven, and the Queen of Heaven must have the permission of the Emperor. Isn't it courting death for you, a subject, to jump out and say that you want to search the East Palace?

Li Zhi looked at Zuo Jian Si Yilang with a cold look and said, "Although Zuo Jian Si Yilang speaks bluntly, he cannot escape the guilt, so he is dismissed from office!"

Zuo Jian Si Yilang took off his crown with a pale face and prostrated himself on the ground, "I thank the Emperor for not killing me!"

After this person was dealt with, the court was silent for a moment, and everyone was guessing which side the King of England took?

At this time, Empress Wu suddenly said: "The emperor, the imperial court respects scholars and officials. Even if relatives are killed in righteousness, the case of Ming Chongyan must be thoroughly investigated."

Li Zhi nodded: "What do the Empress think?"

Empress Wu said, "What did the King of England say?"

Since you are preventing the East Palace from being searched, then you can come up with a solution.

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched. How could he know what to do?However, the protection of Li Xian should not be too much. Just now he could say that he was protecting the majesty of the royal family, so forget it now.

Feeling that most of the civil and military eyes of the Manchu Dynasty were focused on himself, Li Xian said calmly: "There is a specialization in art, and I can't solve the case, but I have heard that Di Yushi is sharp in judging the case, so I ask Di Yushi to try it." ?”

The judge asked Shi Yushi to come... Many people's eyes immediately shifted to Dali Siqing, Dali Siqing...decisively pretended to be dead.

Since Di Renjie was transferred away, Dali Siqing has lived a life of dire straits, and his efficiency has plummeted. After this case was transferred from Jing Zhaoyin to him because of the involvement of the East Palace, he wanted to die even more. If he can hand it over to Di Renjie, he really has to thank His Royal Highness the King of England.

However, Li Xian recommended Di Renjie because he is a talent, he is upright but knows how to adapt, he can be reused in the Gaozong Dynasty, and the person who is still appointed as the prime minister by Empress Wu in the Wu Zhou Dynasty must have two brushes.

Li Zhi was obviously very satisfied with this proposal, turned his head to look at Di Renjie and asked, "What method can Di Qing have?"

Di Renjie already had a draft and said, "Zhao Daosheng's confession alone is not rigorous enough. I wonder if he can identify who the so-called killers are? If he can identify them, then lock them up and interrogate them one by one."
