Li Xian knew that his plan might have alerted Wu Zetian.
However, Wu Zetian still weighed the pros and cons and chose not to kill him, leaving him for others to do!
Actually, Li Xian's plan was very simple.
He was betting his life on it, and instead, he was using the two evils to choose the lesser one.
He had personally pushed himself to the position of a man who was murderous at every step.
He pushed this well-known saying of weighing the pros and cons to Wu Zetian.
From now on, he was going to walk the path of being a man alone!
He wanted to live and live well.
His hands were going to be stained with blood!
He was stained with the blood of the Wu Clan, stained with the blood of the Li Clan!
All those who wanted him dead for various reasons had to kill him!
Or be trampled under his feet!
If he chose this path, his destination could only be this imperial city that symbolized power and supreme glory.
Only when he sat on the throne of the Nine Five Supreme.
Those who hated him to the bone would be like dogs, hiding their fangs and groveling at his feet.
Wu Zetian relied on capable officials to govern the country and relied on the Wu family to consolidate his imperial rule.
What about him?
Wu Zetian guessed what Li Xian was going to rely on to save his life.
All of the central authorities of the Great Tang were secretly pondering this question.
Li Xian took one last look at the heavily guarded Imperial City. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
……
In the side hall of the Great Ming Palace.
The place where the emperor ate his meals.
The palace maids carefully passed the food around.
Wu Zetian was already waiting.
The King of Wei, Wu Chengsi, sat at the head seat on the left. Other than the Emperor, he was the most honorable person.
Outside the palace.
Wu Sansi arrogantly led the trembling Li Dan and his son over.
Wu Sansi saw that Li Dan needed his son's help to walk.
His eyes revealed an unconcealed disdain.
"Prince of Xiang, don't blame me for not warning you. The Sage Emperor is very angry!”Seeing that they were almost there, Wu Sansi deliberately threatened them again.
Li Dan trembled and almost collapsed.
He broke free from his two sons who were supporting him and knelt down in front of Wu Sansi." King of Liang, you know that this matter has nothing to do with us.”
"It's all because of that vile creature!"
"If I had known that this vile creature was so disloyal, unfilial, and unfilial, I would have let him die on his own when he was critically ill!”
"If there is a chance, I will kill this vile beast and vent the hatred of the King of Liang.”
"The two of you, kneel down!"
Li Longji and Li Longfan knelt down in humiliation.
The dignified Li Imperial Family of the Great Tang was actually going to kneel before a foreign surname of the Wu Clan!
It was simply a great humiliation.
Haha...
Wu Sansi laughed maniacally and reached out to support him." Prince of Xiang, you can't take it. Get up quickly. Don't let the Sage Emperor wait too long."”
His goal was simple.
It was to make Li Dan appear even more weak and incompetent when he met his aunt because of fear.
Seeing Li Dan like this, her aunt must be even more convinced that Li Dan was incompetent.
He would not pass the throne to Li Dan.
Li Dan smiled and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He followed Wu Sansi to the side hall while trembling.
Li Dan was outside the hall. When he saw Wu Zetian, he knelt down and cried,"Holy Emperor, please forgive me!"
"Your son taught his son badly, allowing the vile beast to live until now.”
"Your son requests the Sage Emperor to issue a decree that he is willing to personally supervise the execution of this vile beast!”
Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with disappointment.
She had come this far, and the mother and son had come this far. She had to admit that she had a desire for power.
Similarly, the weakness and incompetence of her sons also had a big reason.
From Li Xian to Li Dan, they had allowed the powerful families of Guanzhong to do whatever they wanted, and the powerful families of Guanzhong were her enemies, which made her feel very uneasy.
Secondly, her two sons 'weakness and incompetence gave her a chance.
"You're not even as good as that bastard son of yours, that bastard grandson of mine.”Wu Zetian was extremely disappointed and said coldly,"Get up!"
Li Dan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping off his cold sweat, he stood up shakily.
Wu Zetian looked at her son and glanced at her nephew, who had taken the left position, and did not dare to say anything.
He couldn't help but feel even more disappointed.
She was sure that if she were in his shoes, if it was that grandson of his now.
He would probably draw his sword and tell Wu Chengsi that the one with the surname Wu had no right to sit on the left seat of honor.
In fact, when he had a certain level of strength, he might even dare to draw his sword at her and tell her that she was not qualified to sit on the throne of the Li family.
She was sure that Li Xian would do it.
It was a vicious and merciless person, the Li Imperial Family that was most like Emperor Taizong and her.
Li Dan and his son sat down uneasily.
Wu Zetian looked at Li Longji." Longji, Imperial Grandmother is going to let you go to Chang 'an Old City to be a county captain. Are you willing to go?"”
Hearing this, Li Longji quickly got up and knelt down to show his loyalty.""Holy Emperor, your grandson isn't willing. Your grandson is worried that if I go, I won't be able to resist killing Li Xian!”
Wu Zetian looked at Li Longji with interest.
In the past, she really did not notice this grandson of hers.
Today gave her quite a surprise.
In her eyes, this performance was clumsy.
However, to dare to say such words, he was a scheming and courageous person.
"Sage Emperor, why don't we let Long Fan go?”Li Dan carefully recommended his fourth son, Li Longfan.
San Lang had the ability. He wanted to stay by his side and give him advice.
The fourth son, Long Fan, is dispensable.
Although he was terrified, he was not brainless.
Wu Sansi recounted what that vile creature had done and the Sage Emperor's punishment.
On the way into the palace, he had thought that the Sage Emperor's mother wanted to use someone else to kill him. It was very likely that she had asked them to enter the palace today to do it.
That vile creature had gone mad.
He might not be able to kill the vile beast.
Even if he killed them, the reputation of the one who killed them would be ruined.
He might even be killed by the Holy Emperor.
"Grandmother didn't ask you to kill your brother." Wu Zetian looked at the stunned Li Longfan and knew that Li Longfan had not seen through him.
Li Longji groveled, his tone full of hatred.""Li Xian is disrespectful to the Sage Emperor, your grandson hates him to the bone!”
"If I go, I won't be able to resist killing him!”
At this moment, Li Longfan noticed that his father kept giving him looks to urge him.
Even though he felt uneasy and wronged, he did not dare to disobey his father's orders. He braced himself and stood up." Saint…Saint Emperor, I am willing to go.”
Wu Zetian looked deeply at Li Longji and smiled,""Alright, Long Fan will be the county captain of Chang 'an Old City.”
"You only need to record Li Xian's words and deeds in detail.”
Li Longji was stunned.
That simple?
Just focus on Li Xian?
If he had known it would be so easy, he would have agreed.
With freedom, there would be more room for maneuver, and it was better than being imprisoned in the Prince of Xiang's estate.
But now, it was too late for him to regret.
