The reason why Wu Chongxun persecuted Yuan Licheng was just to please Li Bao'er, but he didn't care about the life or death of the two Persians, of course, he agreed.

Three days later, under the guidance of Shi Weixiao, the governor of Luling Palace, Yuan Licheng, the assassin of Fangzhou, Wu Chongxun, Wang Wu Chongxun of Gaoyang County, Cui Geng, Wei Shifang, Li Bao'er and others arrived at the carrying hall of Luling Palace.

Theoretically speaking, the carrier hall is the place where the king of Luling is located, that is, the iron-tiled silver palace in folklore.

"See King Luling (father) Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Anyway, where is the identity of Li Xian, everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Zhuqing is exempt from courtesy, look at the seat!" On the throne, a slightly vain voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a little eunuch moved over the stool, and everyone sat down in turn according to their status.

Cui Geng pretended to be a Hu businessman, so there was no need to talk so much etiquette, and he looked forward brightly. But in the main hall, there was not one person sitting in the center with his face south and north back, but two people.

On the left, a man in a wide-sleeved round-necked robe, of medium height, with a slightly thin face, gentle eyes, and a lot of silver threads in his temples.

This person should be Li Xian, the king of Luling, who had just ascended the throne for thirty-six days and was ousted from the throne by his biological mother.

Although Li Xian is only 43 years old this year, his long life under house arrest and mental pressure make him look like he is in his 60s.

However, Li Xian is the son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian after all, good genes, coupled with sufficient education, make his temperament quite extraordinary, which makes people feel good when they see it.

The person who is on an equal footing with Li Xian should be his queen Webster.

Unlike Li Xian's premature aging, the years do not seem to have left many traces on Merriam-Webster. Pink face and peach cheeks, Emei light sweep, skin like clotted fat, body grace, anyone who sees it, has to praise it, what a charm still exists~ thing!

Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Empress Wei snorted lightly and angrily: "Yuan Tingshi is a rare guest of our Luling Palace." What's wrong? Do you think that it is not enjoyable to surround our Luling Mansion for more than a month, and you deliberately came to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in person? Okay, we're both here, you can do it! ”

Yuan Licheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he forcibly explained: "Where, the queen misunderstood. The reason why the humble position sent troops to besiege the Luling Wangfu was because the city of Fangzhou had not been peaceful recently. In order to avoid disturbing the king of Luling, he made this decision, and I hope that the prince and the queen will forgive me! ”

Empress Wei said rather harshly: "Oh? Is it? Then ask Yuan Thorn History, if Luoyang is not peaceful, will Luozhou Thorn Shi send troops to besiege the palace? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Yuan Licheng didn't expect Empress Wei to be so faceless, and he was dumbfounded, so he had to change the topic and said: "Xia Guan came to meet the prince and queen today, mainly for the two Persians. Look at this old man, although he seems to be in good spirits on the surface, he is actually terminally ill......"

Then, he briefly explained the experience of the two Persians offering treasures to Li Bao'er and asking for "dragon beard and phoenix hair".

When Empress Wei heard this, she glanced at Li Xian, muttered for a long time, and looked at Cui Gengdao: "You Persian, you are so rude. "The Book of Filial Piety" cloud; The parents who suffer from the skin of the body dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning. It's easy to say this in this palace, but if the king of Luling destroys his beard for a few treasures, isn't that a great disfilial piety to His Majesty? ”

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, men would also deal with their beards slightly. Empress Wei's words are just because Li Xian's identity is sensitive and he is unwilling to tell the truth.

But in the same way, Cui Geng's "dragon beard and phoenix hair" is just an excuse to sneak into the Luling Palace.

He rolled his eyes, got up and saluted, and said, "As long as the queen is willing to cut her hair, the villain will be satisfied." As for the beard of the King of Luling...... There is no need for the prince to cut his beard personally, as long as the villain is allowed to follow the king of Luling, and his beard will fall off naturally. ”

"Well, if you can save someone's life, of course it's ......."

"Never!"

Yuan Licheng still wanted to wait for Cui Geng and others to take the dragon beard and phoenix hair, and then solve them. I was dumbfounded when I heard this, waiting for Li Xian's beard to fall off naturally? How long will that be? The dignified Fangzhou assassin can't stay at work all day and wait for the opportunity to assassinate two Hu people in the king of Luling, right?

He hurriedly stopped: "How noble is the identity of the King of Luling, how can you two Persians be worthy of serving you?" ”

Wu Chongxun also saw the cheapness, and thought to himself, yes, why didn't I think of it! If Li Xian can cut his beard for the Persians, it will be a major crime of his unfilial piety to the current Great Zhou Emperor, and won't his father's position as the crown prince be stable?

So, he said, "That's right! Who knows when King Luling's beard will fall off, is it possible that even King Luling sleeps and goes to the toilet, you all follow? What a system! ”

Cui Geng and Wei Shifang knelt on the ground in unison and said, "Please also ask King Luling to complete it!" ”

"This ......" King Luling and Empress Wei were deeply embarrassed.

This was originally a small matter that could not be trivial, but in front of everyone, as soon as it was extended by someone with a heart, it would develop into a major event that would affect the status of King Luling.

Cutting a beard is unfilial, and if two Hu people follow him, he will have the identity of Wu Zetian's son, which is not appropriate, what can be done?

Or just refuse the demands of the two Persians?

Belch...... Of course, it still doesn't work, the key is Li Bao'er.

I think that King Luling was ousted from the throne and assigned to Fangzhou.

Although he was nominally the king of Luling, he was actually a prisoner under strict guard.

On the way, Empress Wei gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a daughter. At that time, there was neither a stable wife to deliver the baby, nor the swaddling clothes of the newborn, so Li Xian had no choice but to take off his clothes and wrap this little life and named it "Bao'er".

She is Li Bao'er.

Because they feel that they owe too much to Li Bao'er, Empress Wei and Li Xian both cherish her very much, but they have something to ask for.

Wu Chongxun was precisely aware of this, so he spoke out.

Seeing that King Luling and Empress Wei fell into the middle of the court, the corners of Wu Chongxun's mouth flashed with a smug smile.

The situation is stronger than people, and things have developed so far, Rao is full of wisdom with Cui Geng and Wei Shifang, and at this time, it is difficult to break the situation, so he has to resign himself to fate.

However, at this critical moment, Li Bao'er suddenly spoke.

Although she was young, ignorant and pampered, she was not stupid, and instinctively realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Li Bao'er tilted her head and asked, "Why are the father and queen mother embarrassed?" But I think these two Hu merchants only gave their daughters treasures, but not their fathers and queen mothers, so they are unwilling to help them? ”

"Silly boy, how can that be...... Hey? ”

Suddenly, Empress Wei's eyes lit up, and she resorted to a strategy to delay the army and said, "Hmm...... Precisely! Cui Li, since you are asking for medicine from King Luling and the palace, why do you only prepare gifts for Bao'er, but not the palace? If you want to follow King Luling to ask for medicine, you have to offer another treasure! ”

In her thoughts, the two Persians had been shaken off from their homes, how could there be a fourth treasure?

In such a difficult situation, the two Hu people, they will go back to prepare treasures, and they don't have to make a decision right away today.

Wu Chongxun couldn't let this happen, and spoke for Cui Geng and the others for the first time: "That old man can only live for another month, and the queen's request is difficult for a strong man." ”

"No, it's not hard for a strong man!"

Suddenly, Cui Geng smiled slightly, took off the burden he was carrying, and opened it to see that it was another bird skirt!

Wu Chongxun was dumbfounded and said, "Why do you still have one?" ”

When Cui Geng and Wei Shifang visited Li Bao'er, they each carried a burden. Wei Shifang opened the burden and presented a bird skirt to Li Bao'er, but Cui Geng's burden was never opened.

Originally, Wu Chongxun thought that Cui Geng's burden was a change of clothes, but he never expected it to be another bird skirt!

Cui Gengxin said that Wei Shifang was very thoughtful, in addition to preparing to use a bird skirt to please Li Bao'er, he also prepared another bird skirt to ease the relationship between me and Empress Wei. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, but I never expected that this skirt was finally used here.

He chuckled and said, "Of course, it's because I'm not a person who doesn't know how to be polite." ”

Then, he knelt on the ground and said, "I would like to present this skirt to the queen, and I hope you will fulfill your promise and allow you to follow the king of Luling below." ”

Li Bao'er said excitedly: "Queen Mother, this bird skirt is very unusual, you can wear it and try it." ”

Just now, Empress Wei had already heard Yuan Licheng talk about the miracles of the bird skirt, and she was also quite moved, pretending that she couldn't stand her daughter's begging, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, I really can't stand you, okay, I'll try it in this palace!" ”

It's better to be famous than to meet, and meeting is better than being famous!

After Wei Hou changed into this hundred bird skirt and left, she felt that this skirt was even more magical than what Yuan Licheng described just now, and she was reluctant to take it off again!

Besides, as I said just now, as long as Cui Geng and the others offer another treasure, they will be allowed to stay, how can this be good?

He looked at Li Xian and said, "Lord Wang, look at today's events......"

Although Li Xian has not spoken today, it does not mean that he can be mediocre, but that the long-term ordeal has taught him not to express his position easily.

Now, he had already considered the pros and cons clearly, and said, "There are actually two bird dresses? Could it be that the two of you will make such a treasure dress? ”

Li Bao'er couldn't wait to say: "Father guessed correctly, the bird skirt was made by that old man!" ”

"If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three, it shouldn't be difficult for them to make a third bird skirt, right?"

"That's nature."

"Good!" Li Xian snapped a few cases and said, "King Gu appointed the two of you as the secretary of the Luling Palace, with the rank of Jiupin, and served by the king's side. Belch...... The two bird dresses had already been worn by the wrapper and the queen, and they belonged to them. You quickly make the third bird skirt, and the lonely king wants to dedicate it to His Majesty and talk about filial piety! ”

Perfectly solved!

In order to show filial piety to Wu Zetian, Li Xian appointed two small priests, is there anything wrong? Since he is the secretary of the palace and serves by his side, isn't it even more natural?

This is a matter of filial piety, can it be regarded as "greed for money"? What kind of coveting treasures to cut off beards, coveting treasures is out of character, it doesn't exist at all!

Hearing this, Cui Gengxin couldn't help but have a thought, and said: This King of Luling is not a waste snack like in the records of later generations, but an old fox who is deeply hidden.

This is exactly what it is: the Nine Heavens Dragon is shocking, and the wind and clouds will swim in shallow water. The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds!
