Chapter 801: Exposed
Just kidding, I poisoned myself.
He chuckled.
"Yes, he wasn't poisoned. Your Majesty, you really put a lot of effort into Wu Sansi!"
"If I had no real evidence and no witnesses, how could I possibly raise an army and massacre the Wu kings?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I now truly suspect that Wu Sansi's plan to poison my entire family was yours!"
A stinking shit pot was placed on Wu Zetian's head.
It also frightened all the civil and military officials in the court so much that they suspected there was something wrong with their ears.
Even Di Renjie, who initially thought that Li Xian and Li Dan had both gotten involved in the game with their own lives, had a dull look in his eyes.
Even if Li Xian and Li Dan wanted to take part in the game, they didn't have to kill both families. No matter how much Li Xian and Li Dan hated the emperor, they would not do that.
Wu Zetian laughed out loud.
"You bullshit!"
"You and Li Dan are both my children. How could I be so cruel to my children?"
"Am I really so crazy?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xian knew that he was invincible!
He smiled coldly and said, "Who cares about my brother, Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian?"
"Mother, when you said this, did you ever think about where the remains of my brother, Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian, are?"
Wu Zetian was speechless.
Every time she mentioned that she couldn't bring herself to do anything to her child, others had ample reasons to refute her.
As long as the name of Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian is not erased from history, she will never be able to change her reputation as a murderer.
Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian could be killed, but why couldn't the deposed Prince Li Xian and Prince Li Dan be killed?
Li Xian glanced at Wu Zetian.
The love between mother and son had basically disappeared when Wu Zetian deposed him and Li Dan in order to become emperor, and also massacred the descendants of the Li family.
If Li Cunxi had not appeared out of nowhere, the throne would have fallen on the heads of the princes of the Wu family.
Li Xian's eyes were deep, knowing that the final moment was approaching.
He took a step forward and said loudly:
"Mother, no, Your Majesty!"
"You were first a concubine of Emperor Taizong, and later the Empress of Emperor Gaozong. You gave birth to children for Emperor Gaozong, and you should have enjoyed your old age as Empress Dowager. However, you controlled the government and indulged in adultery in the harem. You deposed the emperor twice and usurped the throne of our Great Tang, leading to the demise of our Tang Dynasty in five generations!"
"You established the Great Zhou, and we all allowed it to happen, silently following your orders. I thought this would be a good start, but you appointed three treacherous ministers, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, and Qiu Shenji, to exterminate all the descendants of my Li clan!"
"They even wanted to establish Liang Wang Wu Sansi as the crown prince, intending to kill all of us and our own children. They even allowed Wu Sansi to go to Jiangdong when he was weak, and ceded the nineteen prefectures of Jiangdong for self-government!"
"How is this act of splitting the country any different from being a traitor?"
"Who was Wu Yizong? He was an assistant to Prince Wu Chengsi of Wei. He should have worked hand in hand with Prince Wu Chengsi to help Prince Li Cunxi of Qin ascend the throne. Why did he deliberately plot a rebellion and poison Li Dan and his entire family?"
"Who is Wu Sansi? He was imprisoned in the Inner Guards' prison, yet was rescued and fled all the way to Jiangdong, where he was never caught! He even sent his subordinates back to Luoyang and poisoned everyone in my palace!"
"These two things are horrifying. If these two people had no one behind them, how could they do such horrific things?"
"And at this moment, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been cleared. It is already a well-known fact that my younger brother, Cunxi, will ascend to the throne in the future. Who would dare to secretly help them carry out such a dirty and despicable act that goes against human ethics?"
Li Xian's voice is like a loud bell!
All the civil and military officials present were thinking secretly.
If Li Xian had said this in the past, they would never have believed it.
But at this point, they had no choice but to believe it, because every word Li Xian said was true and his analysis was on point.
Even Di Renjie had to believe what Li Xian said at this moment.
He couldn't help but continue thinking, thinking about who might be secretly helping Wu Sansi.
In the end, no matter how you think about it, this goal is only the last one left.
That is the woman on the throne.
Wu Zetian, a woman who would do anything to become emperor!
In the past, she was able to kill Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian. Now, for her ulterior motives, she could also use Wu Sansi and Wu Yizong to eliminate Li Xian and Li Dan.
As for the purpose, it is not clear yet.
Moreover, Wu Yizong was indeed an ally of Wu Chengsi. This was known to all the civil and military officials in the court. The two had a deep brotherly friendship. Wu Yizong was particularly fond of Wu Chengsi's twelfth son Wu Yanhao, and they had even fought passionately for Wu Yanhao and Wu Chengsi.
It is totally unacceptable for such a person to give up the good ending of at least becoming a king in the future and go to poison Li Dan without anyone supporting him.
The only person who could make him give up his bright future, during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, was probably the emperor.
Everyone else, get out of the way!
Li Xian looked around at his ministers and said loudly:
"You noble lords, you mediocre ministers!"
"As the saying goes, there are no private matters in the royal family. Why don't you ask Your Majesty whether she ordered Wu Yizong and Wu Sansi to poison my two brothers and everyone in the mansion?"
He was angry, sad and in pain!
It's as if everything is really happening.
We are not fools. If we think about it carefully, we will know that only the emperor can allow these two people from different factions to sit together and work together.
"I, Li Xian, retired many years ago, and Li Dan even asked to be exiled to Fangzhou!"
"What do you want?"
"Nothing more, save your life!"
"We are placing all our hopes on the current King of Qin, hoping to retrieve the Tang Dynasty artifact in the future!"
"But His Majesty still finds it difficult to tolerate us, just like he couldn't tolerate my brother, Crown Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian, back then. He wants to get rid of us as soon as possible!"
"If my two brothers had not suffered such a great disaster, why would I have raised an army to kill the Wu kings and preserve some incense for my Li family?"
Li Xian shed two lines of tears.
"Gentlemen, how many of you have ever received a salary from the Li Tang family? Seeing this, why is it that no one speaks up for the descendants of the Li family?"
"I am the heir of the Li family, how miserable!"
"Even my two brothers can't save their lives, how can others survive in this dark Great Zhou?"
The head of all officials, Li Cunxi closed his eyes and looked up.
At this moment, he knew what Li Xian was going to say.
Li Xian laid so much groundwork, just for the last sentence, to finalize the future throne, and then implement the last step of the final plan, to make the emperor angry to death!
Tears were welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't open them. Once he did, he would burst into tears.
These members of the Li Tang royal family have paid countless prices to regain their throne and avenge their fallen relatives, and Li Xian is no exception.
Li Xian glanced at Wu Zetian, who was in great pain, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to fantasize anymore!"
"All your nephews in Luoyang are dead!"
"There aren't many people left in your Wu family!"
"Are you happy?"
