There was silence in the main hall. Li Zhi's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking. His vision was getting blurry and he had a splitting headache.
"That's enough! At this time, you don't repent, and you still want to slander the prince. Do you really think that what you have done can be hidden from everyone in the world? King Cao and King Yue are not secretly colluding with you, everywhere. Are you in trouble with the prince? Kneel down!" Li Zhi never thought that he would be like this today.
I thought I could hold a grand wedding for Li Xian in a peaceful and festive way, so that the world could see the harmonious coexistence of the royal family, but I didn't expect that this evil beast would openly rebel on top of the wedding!
Li Zhi's body swayed as he wanted to stand up. Thanks to the quick eyesight and quick hands of Hua Ji and Wang Lou beside him, they stretched out their hands to support the shaky Li Zhi. They slowly supported the weak body and made Li Zhi sit down.
"Father, everything my son said is true. Li Hong not only executed Uncle Yue and King Cao, but also secretly colluded with Tocharo and Dashi Kingdom..." Li Xian pointed at Li Hong in the distance and faced Li Zhi said, breathing heavily with his chest like a bellows.
Wu Mei cared about the twenty thunders in her heart. Before Li Hong had a clear attitude, she did not dare to push Li Xian, who was becoming a little crazy at this moment, too hastily. If he fell into madness and ignited a thunder Thunder is enough for everyone sitting here to bear.
The scene when Li Hong was injured by the thunder in Luoyang Palace is still vivid in her mind, so she definitely doesn't want to experience the power of this thunder again.
"Li Xian, today is your wedding day, how can you be so disrespectful to your father? Hurry up and apologize to your father." Wu Mei looked at Li Xian and glanced at Li Hong from the corner of her eye, only to see Li Hong motioning for her to let her go. Keep stalling for time.
"Am I disrespectful to my father? How have I disrespected you and your father in terms of etiquette and etiquette over the years? The total disrespect I have experienced in my whole life is not as much as the disrespect he, Li Hong, showed to you in one day. That's it. Because he is the prince, you and your father tolerate him in every way..."
"Isn't Queen Mother tolerant enough to you? How many wrong things have you done in the past few years? Have your father and Queen Mother ever held you accountable? It's because your ambitions have expanded now. You have always wanted to replace Lao Wu and become the crown prince of the East Palace. So if you want to be disrespectful to your father and mother, the most disrespectful person is you." Li Zhe looked at his mother, shook his head helplessly at Li Xian's unreasonable question, and couldn't help but retort.
Seeing Li Xian's angry eyes, Li Zhe was not afraid at all. He met Li Xian's gaze and continued: "You always think that the emperor's brother despises etiquette and emphasizes merit, but what has the emperor done? Are you thinking about yourself? Look at your palace. It is even more luxurious than the Eastern Palace. Did your father and mother say that you have made great achievements, but your father and mother still beat the emperor? Brother, have you ever done anything for my Li family?"
Li Hong rubbed his nose when he heard this. Li Zhe, you are just a pig teammate. If you criticize him, I will die!
Following etiquette and etiquette standards has always been the reason why I have been criticized. It would be better for you to mention it at this time.
"We found Yeyue. She was imprisoned in the underground palace by King Pei. Hardworking and uncomplaining were also imprisoned here. We found a lot of those sky thunders, but there are still two more to go." Bai Chun was dressed in green clothes, and the solemnity on his fair face gradually dissipated, feeling relieved. said.
"Where are the other two? Don't tell me they are under the main hall." Li Hong asked Bai Chundao in a low voice.
"Ten pieces were buried under the main hall. Under the guidance of hard work, they were all found. The remaining two were not found in the underground palace." Bai Chun whispered softly into Li Hong's ear.
"Have you found Fang Xianzhong? Focus on looking for Fang Xianzhong. Maybe he knows where those two coins are." Li Hong quickly scanned the main hall, but still didn't find Li Xian's father-in-law, and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, let's continue looking." Bai Chun whispered before turning around and leaving.
"Stop!" Li Xian suddenly turned his head, looked at Bai Chun and shouted loudly: "No one in the main hall is allowed to leave today."
Bai Chun froze and slowly turned back to look at Li Hong. As long as Li Hong nodded, she would continue walking out without hesitation.
"Go ahead and be careful." Li Hong looked at Bai Chun and said with a smile.
A faint voice sounded in the main hall, making everyone in the main hall feel relaxed for no reason.
"Li Hong, do you think..."
"Didn't you just take twenty thunders from Taiyi City? Bury them under the main hall." Li Hong's eyes instantly became sharp when he looked at Li Xian.
"You... how did you know...?" Li Xian was shocked. He didn't expect that his last trump card would be discovered by Li Hong so quickly.
In the entire main hall, except for Wu Mei and Li Hong, who looked very calm, everyone else suddenly fell into a huge panic when they heard the word "Tian Lei". A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the main hall.
What Li Xian said later, I'm afraid no one knows what he said except for himself who could hear it clearly.
"Shut up!" Li Xian faced Li Hong and wanted to speak, but the people in the hall were too noisy, so he had to roar: "Shut up! Since you know that there are thunders buried below, then you can You should know that with just one order from me, Li Xian, all of you can be wiped out in an instant!"
"What do you want?" Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei, who looked calm, and Wu Mei nodded to him, proving that what Li Xian said was true. He suddenly felt a little helpless and asked Li Xiandao.
The hall instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knew that on the wedding day of Pei King Li Xian, he laid thunder under his feet, and his purpose was self-evident.
"Father, don't you know what I want?" Li Xian sneered, but his eyes did not dare to make contact with Li Zhi's angry and painful eyes, so he lowered his head and said: "Father, your body I have been ill and have been unable to deal with political affairs. For many years, my mother has assisted you in handling political affairs. The prince Li Hong has been in charge of the country several times, but every time the court has been filled with chaos and the courtiers have complained. It is clear that he is not suitable to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, for the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the stability of the country, and the well-being of the people, I hope that your father will take your place as a minister today and let him govern our country. Tang Jiangshan, keep our hope of a long and prosperous Tang Dynasty."
"You...?" Li Zhi stretched out his fingers tremblingly, wanting to stand up again and scold Li Xian angrily, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that the world was suddenly spinning, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
"Where is the imperial doctor!" Wu Mei suddenly stood up, her mother-like phoenix in full display, with her unparalleled beauty and majesty that made people surrender. She asked in a cold voice without even looking at Li Xian.
"Queen, the imperial doctor has been blocked from outside. Why don't you let me do some research for Your Majesty first?" Pei Xingjian walked out from among the courtiers and said with a salute.
Then, behind her, Pei Wanying, whose figure had been hidden by everyone, also dressed in a green shirt and skirt, walked quickly to Wu Mei.
Just as he was about to salute Wu Mei, he heard Wu Mei say: "There is no need to be more polite. It is important to check your Majesty's body first."
With Li Zhi unconscious, the main hall once again fell into buzzing discussions. At this time, everyone understood that King Pei wanted to imitate the Xuanwu Gate incident launched by the late emperor to seek the throne.
At that time, the late emperor Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, which eliminated the faction headed by Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji in one fell swoop, and then forced the great ancestor Li Yuanchan to join him, thus starting the Zhenguan rule.
And how similar is this scene today to the situation back then? In less than fifty years, will another fight exactly the same as that of the Tang Dynasty happen within the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty
In the main hall today, there are Pei Wang Li Xian's faction, Prince Li Hong and Ying Wang Li Zhe's faction. This is exactly the same situation as back then...
Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying's tall figure with concerned eyes, and saw her flying hands, taking out silver needles one by one from an antique wooden box.
"Queen, your majesty only fainted due to a vertigo attack and a moment of shortness of breath. It's not serious. If you want your majesty to wake up immediately..." Pei Wanying whispered with a bit of nervousness in her crisp voice.
"No need, let His Majesty rest for a while. Showing him this scene will only make his illness worse." Wu Mei sighed and looked at the unconscious Li Zhi.
Although he was unconscious, his brows were still tightly knitted together. You can imagine how distressed he was by today's situation.
"Where is the prince?" Wu Mei sighed softly and said a little feebly: "You have full authority to handle the matter here. I and your father will return to the palace first."
"Yes, Queen Mother, I will send someone to take you back to the palace." Li Hong bowed and said.
The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. After a while, two groups of people appeared at the door. One group was naturally the prince's guard and the other Jingwei that Li Hong led today.
The other group was his own retainers and Li Xian's retainers led by Fang Xianzhong. The two groups surrounded the door. Obviously, Li Xian would not let Wu Mei and Li Zhi walk out of the main hall so easily.
"Want to leave? Mother, why don't you sit down for a while, wait for your father to wake up, tell the world that Zen is behind you, and then I will send your father and mother back to the palace in person?" Li Xian glanced at the main hall. The two people outside saw Fang Xianzhong nodded towards him, and then said to Wu Mei.
"Mother, please." Li Hong walked forward to Wu Mei and watched Li Zhi being carefully placed on a stretcher covered with thick quilts, surrounded by Hua Ji and Wang Lou, as well as other eunuchs and maids. Go up and say softly.
