The Human Emperor

"Your Majesty (Li Heng) told you?"

Gao Lishi sat opposite Wang Chong and spoke first.

"Yes!"

Wang Chong nodded.

Gao Lishi set up a house next to the imperial tomb to guard it, and it was necessary to pass the approval of Li Heng.

Wang Chong actually got the news from Li Heng.

"Father-in-law, Wang Chong has something unclear in his heart, so he specifically came to ask his father-in-law for advice."

Wang Chong said straight to the point.

"Go ahead, I will tell you everything I can say."

Gao Lishi said with a calm face, his eyes were so thin that he seemed to have seen everything.

"The younger generation wants to ask the father-in-law about the abolition of the prince Li Xuantu more than 30 years ago."

Wang Chong said.

"Li Xuantu?"

Gao Lishi heard this, on the originally calm face, a pair of snow-white lying eyebrows jerked:

"What are you looking for him for?"

Wang Chong didn't conceal it, so he told about Taishi's wandering outside the city and his inference about Li Linfu.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Father Gao frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Li Linfu dared to collude with the organization of men in black, he is so bold!"

The news that Wang Chong brought was a great impact even for Father Gao.

"Duke Gao, please forgive Wang Chong for courage. Did the deposed prince Li Xuantu really not die in the Shenlong coup thirty years ago?

Wang Chong asked.

When he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on Father Gao, and he didn't miss the slightest change on his face.

Father Gao didn't speak, but frowned, silent.

This simple action made Wang Chong's heart jump.

If Li Xuantu is dead, Father Gao doesn't need to hesitate at all, just deny it directly. He doesn't speak now. Obviously, there was something wrong with things back then, or that the historian at the time did not record the truth.

"It's been so many years now, I don't think anyone remembers him!"

After a long time, a voice came from his ear, and Father Gao raised his head and suddenly sighed.

"boom!"

This plain and indifferent sentence, as if a rock fell, caused great waves in Wang Chong's heart.

Li Xuantu...he really wasn't dead!

Although Father Gao didn't say it directly, his expression already explained everything.

"how can that be!"

Wang Chong was in turmoil.

He was just guessing before, but now, the last trace of luck in his heart is shattered.

It's just that Wang Chong still doesn't understand that in the Shenlong coup, everyone feels that Li Xuantu is bound to die, but why the Holy Emperor left him with his life?

"Thirty years ago, when Emperor Gaozong was reigning and the first emperor was still the prince, the most dazzling prince in the entire Tang Dynasty was not actually the holy emperor, but the abolished prince Li Xuantu. Far inferior to him, in some respects I am afraid that even the Holy Emperor at that time is inferior."

"So Li Xuantu naturally became your majesty's strongest enemy and opponent."

It seemed that he knew what Wang Chong had in mind. Without waiting for Wang Chong to speak, Father Gao took the initiative to bring up the old things of the year:

"Who wouldn't like a son like this! Emperor Gaozong is no exception, and Li Xuantu was the eldest son of the empress, so the emperor Gaozong at that time preferred Li Xuantu to inherit the throne, not the saint at the time. Emperor."

"If the Holy Emperor hadn't appeared, perhaps the current Emperor of Tang Dynasty would be him Li Xuantu!"

When mentioning the events of the year, Gao Gonggong sighed.

He has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and naturally he knows nothing better about what happened back then.

When Wang Chong listened, his heart was shaken.

Gao Gonggong has always been loyal to the holy emperor, and he is the well-deserved first confidant around the holy emperor. Wang Chong did not expect that more than 30 years later, when he mentioned Li Xuantu, despite his hostile position, he would have an attitude toward the abandoned prince Such a high evaluation, in some respects, is even as good as the Holy Emperor.

"It's a pity that he was too proud and too conceited. Before, no one of the princes could surpass him, so it was not obvious, but when the Holy Emperor appeared, all the shortcomings hidden in him burst out. ."

"Before the Shenlong coup, the relationship between Li Xuantu and the holy emperor was like water and fire. A large number of capable officials and officials gathered around everyone. At that time, it was already like an arrow and had to send it. But in the end, it was still holy. The emperor has won, and only then has the current Tang Dynasty flourishing!!"

Speaking of the last, Father Gao sighed deeply.

If you didn't get involved in the events of the year, you wouldn't understand the danger.

It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in the whole thing. The most important thing is that the Holy Emperor is the final winner.

From the final situation, this is also the best result for Datang!

"Then later, why didn't the Holy Emperor kill him?"

Wang Chong said.

Thirty years ago, Wang Chong was not born. Although he did not experience the coup d'etat, Wang Chong can also feel from Gao Lishi’s words that Li Xuantu is probably also a man of great talent and strategy. Characters, to exist for one more day, are a great threat to the Holy Emperor.

Wang Chong didn't understand, why did the Holy Emperor keep him alive?

"This--"

Grandpa Gao hesitated for a moment, and finally said it:

"Your Majesty’s thoughts, I can’t figure it out. When that incident was over, Yao Xiang and I actually persuaded him, but your Majesty didn’t listen at all. After thinking about it carefully, I’m afraid your Majesty also missed his brother’s brotherhood and pityed him. He was not a worldly talent, and he was spared his life after all. After all, his Majesty Sanzi Xuan was different and still gave him a chance?"

Wang Chong was silent.

Such a threat of Li Xuantu, if people know that he is still alive, will definitely cause an uproar, and it is definitely not a wise move to save him.

However, if you think carefully, isn't this exactly the style of the Holy Emperor!

Looking at the world, with confidence, confidence, and successfully mastering these people, I am afraid that only the heroes are roughly, and the fallen holy emperor.

Wang Chong believes that this is by no means "women's benevolence."

The heart and courage of the Saint Emperor may have surpassed everyone in this world!

It's just that it's not the time to sigh these things, Wang Chong just wants to know where the Holy Emperor kept him?

"I don't know about this. I only vaguely know that he should be locked under the imperial palace, somewhere deep in the abandoned palace of the Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty will go there every year, and he never takes it. No one, not even me, is allowed to follow. No one knows the specific entrance except Your Majesty."

"But speaking of it, at the bottom of the jail, haven't you been to the Jiedushi incident more than three years ago?"

Fair and fair.

"boom!"

In the last sentence, Grandpa Gao just mentioned it casually, but Wang Chong couldn't help but his eyelids twitched, and his heart suddenly made waves.

"Under the jail... the palace of the Sui Dynasty... the abandoned prince Li Xuantu..."

In a flash of light, Wang Chong thought of coming alone.

More than three years ago, when he was only sixteen years old, he was imprisoned by the Holy Emperor in a mysterious prison under the Heaven Prison because of a memorial, and he had accidentally encountered a mysterious prison. Man, the other party passed through the air and asked him a few words.

And at that time, that person also passed the exercises to him over the air, and helped him a lot, helping him successfully break through the bottleneck and practice the little onmyoji.

Wang Chong still remembered that he had asked him where he was. The man replied that he was in the depths of the twentieth floor of the Sui Dynasty palace under the sky prison.

"Is it him?"

At this moment, Wang Chong's expression was complicated.

He never thought that the mysterious person he met in the prison that year would turn out to be Emperor Gaozong's greatest opponent, the abandoned prince Li Xuantu!

"Daddy Gao, thank you!"

Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't bear it anymore, ready to stand up and leave.

"If you are worried that Li Xuantu will be used by people in black, you don't have to. Although I haven't been there personally, I also know that it must be heavily guarded, and there are huge magic circles and blessings. Li Xuantu is simply impossible. Escape. If it is that easy, with Li Xuantu's ability, I am afraid he would have escaped many years ago, and I will not wait until now."

"And the emperor Xian would not fail to understand Li Xuantu's harm. By doing this, he is naturally confident of trapping him and not letting him do harm to the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Gonggong said solemnly.

The Sage Emperor’s wrists are by no means comparable to ordinary people, and Li Xuantu is so dangerous that the place where he is imprisoned naturally cannot be an ordinary prison.

"understood!"

Wang Chong stood up, bowed and walked out quickly.

"Wait!"

Just after Wang Chong turned to leave and walked out more than ten feet away, Father Gao hesitated for a while, and suddenly stopped him:

"Although I don't know many things, but if you want to find Li Xuantu, you might as well go back and find the copper box that the Holy Emperor left you. There may be any clues. Your Majesty left everything in the box!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Wang Chong stepped forward and quickly disappeared outside the dome of Father Gao.

...

"Snapped!"

Back in the palace, with a crisp sound, Wang Chong once again opened the delicate little copper box left by the holy emperor.

All the backhands of the Saint Emperor stayed in this copper box, and the copper box was locked, even Father Gao had never seen it.

Wang Chong has seen all the things in this copper box, but he has not seen anything related to Li Xuantu.

"It shouldn't be. Li Xuantu is not an ordinary person. If the Holy Emperor wanted to kill him, he would have killed him early in the past, and he would have left him with his life. It is impossible not to make proper arrangements afterwards."

Wang Chong's brows frowned slightly, and he was silent.

His gaze flicked through the copper box again, and all the notes and letters were swept past by him, but in the end, when Wang Chong's gaze flicked over an eight-inch copper key at the bottom of the box, his heart was steep. The ground shook.

Wang Chong had seen this copper key many times, but this time it was not the key itself that attracted Wang Chong, but the inconspicuous palace patterns on the surface of the copper key.

The style of these palaces is completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

Most importantly, on the plaque of one of the palaces, Wang Chong suddenly saw a tiny "Sui" character.
