Chapter 905 Li Xu's Choice

The contradictions in Chang'an City are intensifying step by step.

If Li Xu had not tried his best to reconcile, this conflict would have already broken out. However, after the rebellion of King Hengyang, Li Xu, the peacemaker, would not have been long.

Until now, in the eyes of the Li family, he has become a traitor to the Li family. If he blindly protects these Li family members, he will only be unpleasant.

His Highness Song, who left the Ganlu Palace, had no eyes.

He walked on the Suzaku Street, limping like a walking corpse.

At this time, he actually missed his teacher very much, Lin Jian and Lin Yuanda who had already returned to Yuezhou without any graduating work.

If Duke Yuan Da was still in Chang'an, then Li Xu now had at least one teacher to talk to, and this teacher could also take some pressure on him.

Even without Lin Jian, Lin Zhao is still good.

At least, there is still someone who can talk.

But unfortunately, His Highness Song is now "unkind" in Chang'an City.

He has many relatives and many of his fellow tribes in Chang'an, but because he turned to the new emperor, these fellow tribes looked down on him openly and secretly. In addition, he was arrogant and too lazy to explain anything to those mediocre fellow tribes. Now, when His Highness Song looked back, he had no companions around him.

He had bad legs and feet. After walking on Zhuque Street for a while, he became a little tired. So he found a noodle stall on the side of the road and asked for a bowl of oil-splashed noodles.

Soon, the hot dough was brought up. Prince Song picked up the dough like an ordinary person and took a big bite.

After taking a few mouthfuls of the face, he looked up and saw that Chang'an City was full of traffic and prosperity was as prosperous as before.

It seems that there is no difference from the Chang'an City where he grew up, and it seems that it has turned upside down.

"Chang'an City cannot be destroyed in the hands of a family..."

His Highness Song's eyes were a little wet, not sure whether it was because of the steaming heat or because of a little sadness.

After eating the noodles, he stood up silently and stood up from the noodle stall. After paying, he left the noodle stall and waved to the servants of the Song Mansion who followed him far away.

The carriage from Prince Song's mansion drove slowly over, and Li Xu sat in it expressionlessly.

After the carriage returned to the Song Palace, Li Xu wrote a memorial to the emperor. This time, the saint replied quickly. When the memorial was sent back, the word "ke" was written on it by the saint.

Li Xu lowered his eyebrows and his voice was deep: "Prepare the horse."

...

The capital is more than two thousand miles away from Hengyang. Even if ordinary people ride fast horses, it will take about ten days to get there.

Li Xu was already inconvenient in his legs and feet, so he was slower to travel.

It took him half a month to arrive in Hengyang.

He didn't come by himself.

Behind him, more than two hundred imperial guards followed.

Under the leadership of Li Xu, these wolves and tigers broke into the Hengyang Palace and captured the Hengyang King Li Bi who was having a banquet with local scholars.

Although Li Bi is young, he has seen Li Xu.

Seeing Li Xu Dai, who was tired and limping, breaking into Wang Fu, the ambitious King of Hengyang, who was very ambitious but had a distant talent, he immediately panicked.

He stumbled and stood up from his seat, came to Li Xu, and bowed respectfully to Li Xu: "Brother..."

Li Xu had no expression on his face and was unmoved.

Li Bi seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at the guards behind Li Xu and said carefully: "Brother, you are..."

Prince Song took a deep breath and looked at Li Bi.

"You won't be naive. If you feel that you are in Hengyang, the court will know nothing about what you do?"

Li Bi's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "Brother, don't be wronged. I have been very honest since I was a vassal. At most, I just make friends with my literature at home. Where can I do anything out of the ordinary?"

"The court must not let my younger brother make friends?"

"Since I'm here in person, there are some things you can't blame for."

Prince Song never looked at Li Bi again, but closed his eyes and said, "I took them all."

"yes!"

Dozens of imperial guards, like wolves and tigers, pounced directly on King Li Bi of Hengyang and his family.

Li Bi stood beside Li Xu and was controlled immediately.

After the Hengyang King was taken, he glared at Li Xu and gritted his teeth: "Li Laoba, you are accomplice for the tiger, you are a wolf and a dog!"

Faced with this kind of abuse, Li Xu was unmoved.

He walked to Li Bi silently and looked at him coldly.

"If the bloodline of the fifth uncle is cut off one day, at least half of it is because of you stupid!"

Li Bi widened her eyes and looked at Li Xu with horror.

"you…"

"What did you say?!"

He was shocked and angry.

Prince Song had a blank expression on his face: "I said, you will kill all the descendants of the fifth uncle."

After saying this, Li Xu ignored the King of Hengyang and said slowly: "The people in the King of Hengyang's Mansion have taken all the people, collected evidence, and taken all the relevant people and sent them to the capital to question."

At this time, Li Xu was completely on the side of Emperor Hongdao.

Under the fierce conflict between the two sides, he chose to sacrifice the entire Zhongzong emperor's line in exchange for a stable state of affairs.

After all, even if the people from the Emperor Zhongzong lineage are dead, there are still many people from the Li family. The court will only suffer a burst of pain and will not be completely in chaos.

On the contrary, once the court completely liquidated the branch of Emperor Zhongzong, the court would be much more stable after the pain.

But this stability comes at a cost.

Killing the descendants of the Emperor Zhongzong will give others a verbal speech. At that time, any military governor can use this as an excuse to raise troops and advance to Chang'an City.

But long pain is worse than short pain.

At this time, Li Xu no longer cared about much.

After ordering Li Bi to tie up, Li Xu stayed in the Hengyang Palace for three days and found a large number of evidence of Li Bi colluding with others from the Hengyang Palace.

The young King Hengyang felt that the sky was high and the emperor was far away. He felt that the little Taoist priest in Chang'an City would not look at him no matter what, so he did many things without any concealment and was unscrupulous.

But he knew nothing about Chang'an and had no intelligence ability. It was not until Li Xu brought the guards to the door that he realized that he was in trouble.

But the evidence found in the Hengyang Palace, even if it was handed over to the Three Laws to discuss the crime, was enough for the Hengyang Palace to keep the whole family and the people who even communicated with him, to meet the standards of the three tribes of Yi.

Three days later, King Li Bi of Hengyang was locked in a prison car and was about to take him to Chang'an.

The King of Hengyang, who was still in a glorious position three days ago, was already quite embarrassed at this time. Looking at Li Xu standing in front of him, he spat on the ground and said, "Traitor! A lackey!"

"I will die on the road and let you thieves be scolded by future generations forever!"

He was sent to Chang'an to allow him to accept the judgment of the Three Laws. If he died on the road, it would really become the emperor's revenge.

"The evidence of your rebellion will be announced in Chang'an."

Li Xu had a expressionless face: "If you go back to Chang'an honestly, there may be a glimmer of hope. If you insist on dying on the road, you will completely tear your face. The fifth uncle's lineage will definitely be no more incense."

After saying this, Li Xu looked at the guard behind him and said slowly: "Please him on the way."

The commander of the Imperial Guard glanced at Li Xu, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, don't you go back to Chang'an?"

Li Xu shook his head.

"I... want to go to Chengdu Prefecture."
