Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 962: Meeting Li Xian Again
A quarter of an hour later, Long Feng asked his deputy general Miha to temporarily take over the position of the commander-in-chief of the wind riders. He selected twenty wind riders and quietly left the base.
After leaving Luoyang City, horses had already been prepared for everyone to ride.
Walking on the narrow and winding path where few people go, Long Feng gritted his teeth and greeted Ma Rong indignantly.
He was so frightened by Ma Rong in the official residence that he almost prayed for himself on the spot, but Ma Rong suddenly relaxed and took away his wine.
She's pretending just to drink his wine. Isn't she crazy?
Twenty-one riders marched eastward and headed straight for Yangzhou.
He had already kept the latest mission in mind. With his horsepower, he was able to reach Yangzhou and pick up Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian in advance before Li Duozuo had completed half the journey.
Huang Shengyan, who is in charge of Da Shuihe, will give him a lot of help in this operation. This is the first time that the two of them have cooperated, so I don’t know what kind of reaction it will produce.
After traveling thousands of miles, Ma Rong came to the outside of Shenwu Gate and looked at Long Feng turning into the small path, then returned to the palace in silence.
"Your Majesty, Long Feng has already set off."
"Well, you should also send two people who know him well to protect Prince Zhang Huai. If Prince Zhang Huai and his wife are harmed in the slightest, there is no need for these people to come back."
"I will obey my orders."
……
More than a month passed in a flash, and Li Qingxia was about to give birth.
Wang Jinghui temporarily put aside his official duties and stayed with Li Qingxia.
Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, and even the former Emperor of the Great Zhou, Wu Zetian, had become accustomed to a peaceful life.
On this peaceful day, three figures entered the Qianyang Palace under the escort of Long Feng.
These three figures were closely guarded throughout the entire process, and finally waited in the deserted Qianyang Palace.
Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian looked around the palace and didn't feel any danger at all.
The beautiful woman stood aside with a small child, not daring to breathe.
"That's strange. Your Majesty brought me here, but why don't you see me?"
Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian looked around but didn't see anyone, so he turned back to ask Long Feng.
How could Long Feng possibly know what Li Cunxi was thinking? He simply shook his head, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Not long after, Li Cunxi, who came from the imperial study, walked into the Qianyang Palace accompanied by Ma Rong, walked slowly up to the Danchi, and finally sat on the dragon couch.
After Li Xian saw Li Cunxi clearly, he leaned over and bowed.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The beautiful woman and the child also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Cunxi. Long Feng saluted Li Cunxi with his fists clasped, and then quietly left Qianyang Hall as instructed at the beginning.
Ma Rong lowered his brows and exited through a side door.
After both of them left, Li Cunxi smiled and said:
"Prince Zhang Huai, how are you?"
"I was wondering why your face looks so familiar. It turns out we've met before during the Iron Hands case."
"You were among the boatmen at the time, leading them to explain to me the crimes of those corrupt officials in Yangzhou."
"It's a pity that I was so shortsighted at the time that I just thought you were no ordinary person. I never imagined that you were actually Prince Zhang Huai."
Li Cunxi was quite emotional, as the face of Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian was so familiar to him.
You know, during the Yangzhou case, most of the households couldn't even speak clearly when they filed their complaints, and it was Prince Zhanghuai who took the initiative to stand up.
At that time, he wanted to recruit this unusual-looking boatman into his army, but after the Yangzhou case, he never saw him again.
"His Majesty."
Li Xian clasped his fists towards Li Cunxi.
"When we parted in Yangzhou, Your Majesty was already the Supreme Being when we met again. I am just a small-time resident of Yangzhou. It is not worth Your Majesty's effort to mobilize such a large force."
"I've been living very comfortably in Yangzhou, but I'm a little uncomfortable with coming to the capital. After all, before I was demoted, the capital was still Chang'an."
Li Cunxi heard the hidden meaning: "Luoyang is not good, why do you want to go back to Yangzhou?"
Li Xian shook his head: "Luoyang is very good, Your Majesty, but I have become accustomed to life in Yangzhou. I will definitely not be more comfortable in Luoyang than in Yangzhou."
"Yes, everyone knows that Yangzhou is good. I also know that Yangzhou is good, but I can't go to Yangzhou now, and you can't go back to Yangzhou either."
"Your Majesty, I, the common people..."
"Prince Zhanghuai, King Xia is old and alone, he must be very lonely!" Li Cunxi interrupted Li Xian. "I invited you back so that King Xia can experience the beauty of having children and grandchildren around him."
Li Xian's face was obviously a little darker.
All these years of enduring humiliation have made him tolerant of everything, but now he really can't bear it anymore.
Let Wu Zetian feel the beauty of having children and grandchildren around her?
Is she worthy?
Originally, Wu Zetian had many descendants, and quite a few of them!
But why does Wu Zetian have no descendants now? Isn’t it her own fault?
If Wu Zetian had not failed to balance the situation and Wu Sansi had not fled to Jiangdong, Li Xian and Li Dan would not have sacrificed their entire family in exchange for Wu Zetian giving up the throne to the Li family.
Wu Zetian herself should have known how Li Xian ended up in Yangzhou.
How can such a person want to have descendants around him?
Beautiful her!
"Your Majesty, I can agree to anything, but I would rather die than have the descendants of Wu the traitor surround me!"
Li Xian gritted his teeth and released some of his hatred towards Wu Zetian.
If he had not taken into consideration the impropriety in front of the emperor, he would have scolded Wu Zetian for three days and three nights to let that vicious woman know how much he, as her child, hated her.
Li Cunxi nodded and agreed to Li Xian.
"In that case, then let's not go."
"I will find you a good mansion in Luoyang and grant you a title of king. You can live a good life in Luoyang."
"Although the child is young, he is old enough to go to school. If you send him to the palace, I will naturally ask a great scholar to teach him..."
Li Cunxi half raised his head. When he mentioned the great Confucian scholar, he couldn't help but think of Li Chengqian, the deposed crown prince of the former Tang Dynasty.
The reason why Li Chengqian became what he was later on was largely due to Li Shimin, and a small part was due to the people who taught him.
In order to please the emperor and to show off, the great Confucian scholars who taught him found faults in Li Chengqian day and night, even if there were no faults, they would find one and then report it to Li Shimin.
Throughout history, emperors have been deceived by their ministers. Hearing this to this extent, Li Shimin has followed in the footsteps of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxi scratched his head and said:
"Every time I think of the former Emperor Taizong of Tang, my heart is filled with sorrow."
"If Emperor Taizong hadn't been incompetent, the Former Tang wouldn't have perished in just a few decades. The cause of the nation's demise lies with Emperor Taizong himself. I must follow his example and correct all the problems associated with him, only then can the nation survive."
After saying that, Li Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sometimes, I feel sad because of my own incompetence."
"But seeing Emperor Taizong makes me feel much better."
