"What should I do? How the hell do I know what to do?" After hearing Li Xian's question, Li Xian suddenly felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses whizzing by, and said secretly: "You idiot, back then
The situation is great, let alone strike while the iron is hot, sit back and watch the opponent grow stronger, and now you ask me what to do? Am I a living god? It’s not like I can really count; am I Zhuge Kongming, who can do anything with just a wave of his feather fan?
Can you come up with an idea?"
However, Li Xianzi cannot watch Li Xian lose his power step by step. After all, most of what this guy has will be his in the future. Li Xian can squander it, but he can't. What's more, even if Li Xian has everything
It has nothing to do with him, he can't just sit back and watch Empress Wu grow stronger step by step, because if this is the case, when Li Xian is deposed and he takes the position of crown prince, his situation may not be as good as that of Li Xian.
Therefore, Li Xian racked his brains and finally said: "I have two methods here. Brother Six can give it a try."
"Haha, I can't think of a single idea here. I didn't expect seventh brother to have two ideas. This is really, really resourceful. Seventh brother, tell me quickly, do you have any clever ideas?" Li Xian saw Li Xian like this.
He said, naturally scratching his head and head happily, looking overjoyed.
"My best solution is to pretend to be an idiot but not crazy. Sixth brother, you can hide your power from now on, show the greatest respect to your mother, think about what others think, be anxious for what others need, and even voluntarily give up the power you have, and slowly reduce your mother's wariness.
, when necessary, she will learn from her former confidant Li Yifu, and hide his sword in a smile. At that time, he must pursue death with one blow. Of course, if there is no chance, you must endure it to the end. As long as one day, the throne is in your hands, then
Just tear each other’s faces apart.”
"This, how can this be done? Now I only have a few close friends in my hand, and my strength has been weakened. If I give up on my own initiative, who will be able to follow me again? What's more, my mother is trying her best to seize my hand.
If I take the initiative to hand over this little power, wouldn't I be taking advantage of her heart? This is something that makes enemies happy and relatives painful? What good will such a strategy do even if I become the emperor in the future? Not yet
Just a puppet emperor? Doesn’t Sixth Brother have a second solution? He might as well bring it out to the murderer for detailed information."
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't agree to this, but when you are dethroned as the prince in the future and can't even save your life, you will know that even a puppet emperor is much better than that ending.
, but I can’t tell you this. First of all, even if I tell you, you may not believe it. Secondly, if you really give up like this, what will I do? Who else can help me deal with it?
Mother?"
This is because we can’t blame Li Xian for being too sinister. In fact, the royal children have no friendship to begin with. What’s more, Li Xian and Li Xian didn’t deal with each other very well in the first place. Now they have formed a temporary alliance purely because of profit. At this time, we are talking about brotherhood.
Isn't it a big joke?
Immediately afterwards, Li Xian said: "As for the second point, the sixth brother needs to fight back. Of course, this kind of counterattack does not necessarily mean directly dealing with the Queen Mother's confidants. Now the Queen Mother has enough power.
We are so strong that we can't move easily. Those prime ministers are not something we can move if we want to, but those little minions are pointless even if they understand. Therefore, all we want to do at this time is to improve our reputation in order to gain more support from the government and the public.
Much support, especially from my father. Among all the things you should do to improve your reputation, two things are particularly important. The first is to repair books. As the saying goes, repair books in the prosperous times. This is true.
, Sixth Brother can increase his reputation in the name of book repair, and at the same time attract talents for my use."
"Well, it's a good idea to repair books. Xiaojing took the opportunity to win over Shangguan Yi, Yang Sijian and others with the help of compilation of "Yaoshan Jade Color". Hehe, this is because his marriage with Yang Sijian failed. If it really succeeds , I’m afraid there’s nothing going on without my mother. My dear brother, this idea is very good. In this case, I will also summon scribes to repair the book. Well, what should I repair? I am still relatively familiar with the "Book of the Later Han", so why not just write the book "The Book of the Later Han"? Book", hum. In the Later Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives joined forces to fight against each other, and almost no one had a good result. I just took this as an opportunity to use the past to satirize the present, so that my mother can also learn from it. Haha, this It's a great idea, let's do it, Seventh Brother, you said there are two important things, so what is the second one?"
Li Xian found the corresponding countermeasure, and he felt relaxed. He sat on the seat with a clear mind and asked Li Xian with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Li Xian couldn't help but shook his head secretly and sighed: "This guy is really a dog who can't get to the table. Just now he looked like a lost dog. Looking at this image now, he doesn't even know what his last name is. Also, how shrewd the mother is. It’s not like you don’t know how to use the past to make fun of the present. I think you can’t use the past to make fun of the present. In the end, I guess it’s not bad until you’re done playing with yourself.”
Although he gritted his teeth and hated her, on the surface, he still wanted to give her some good advice: "Sixth Brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? It's not like you don't know about the Queen Mother. If you don't take the initiative to provoke her, you are afraid that she will come to your door. Now that you are taking the initiative to provoke, I guess she will fight back immediately. By then, not only will we not be able to benefit from what we have worked so hard to plan, I am afraid that we will not even be able to get back the copy. Therefore, in my opinion, there are so many history books, why bother with the Later Han Dynasty books? Huh? Why don't we comment on "Three Kingdoms" together, maybe we can have unexpected results."
But I heard Li Xian sneer and say: "The Three Kingdoms were in troubled times, and a bunch of rebellious ministers and traitors were plotting against the Han Dynasty. How can I explain it? The Han Dynasty was a prosperous age, with celebrities emerging in large numbers and poetry and literature at its peak. How could it be compared to the Three Kingdoms? What's more, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period were all from the Han Dynasty. As long as I annotated the Later Han Dynasty, the elites of the Three Kingdoms were already in my pocket. Is there any need to annotate the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms? You don't have to worry about this matter, that's it. It’s settled, just tell me what the second important thing is."
After hearing this, Li Xian could only helplessly sigh secretly, and his heart was full of regret: "Although I also know that Ming Chongyan was very provocative at the beginning, but he still had some sincerity, and he would have been here long ago. In the end, I would rather fight against my mother's suspicion than give up the position of prince to you. Maybe Ming Chongyan is right. As long as he is willing to make peace, even his father will not do anything. Objection, after all, at this time, people still respect the so-called providence very much. Even if Ming Chongyan does not use providence to advise, I can still create the so-called auspicious providence and force my father to make me the prince. Now I will give up the throne. Giving such a fool a bad go against the original intention."
However, Li Xian also understood that this was just a thought. Even if it happened again, he would still choose to give up the position of prince to Li Xian. The first reason is that after all, his strength is not enough. A head-on fight with Empress Wu will result in both parties losing at best, and in the end it can only benefit others.
In other words, he hoped that Li Xian would have a fight with Empress Wu from his own point of view, not from Li Xian's point of view. Of course, Li Xian's ambitious and incompetent side did make people laugh and cry: "Even if you don't go,
If we fight to the death, we won’t just sit back and watch the other party become stronger and remain indifferent, right?”
Another reason is that he also hopes to form a recognized unspoken rule in the court, which is to strictly implement the patriarchal order and establish a son based on his elders rather than his virtuous ones. After Li Xian is deposed, he will be naturally promoted to be the crown prince.
, although this kind of binding force seems very fragile, at least it will form such an understanding among most officials, so as to reduce resistance as much as possible in the future, and at least it will be morally tenable.
After silently mourning for the future Li Xian for a moment, Li Xian said: "The second important thing is that the sixth brother can write a memorial to his father and propose a military examination. The Ministry of War will preside over the selection of talents. The content of the examination
Mainly include martial arts, policy theory, military art, etc., and then officials will be appointed based on the talents of the scholars. Naturally, these martial arts scholars will be assigned to the Sixteenth Guards as generals. In this way, the Sixth Brother will have military personnel under his command.
Don’t worry, it’s difficult for these people to play their due role at the moment, but after ten or eight years, when they become generals, the six brothers will be the only ones in this army.”
Of course Li Xian's idea was not for Li Xian, but entirely for himself. Now the Minister of War is Xue Rengui. As for the other Minister of War, Xiao Dezhao, he doesn't understand the art of war and strategy at all, and is not suitable to be the examiner at all. What's more, even if he
Even if he had this talent, he would definitely not be able to do it, because in order to protect himself, he took refuge with Empress Wu. However, because he was born in the Xiao family of Lanling and was of the same clan as Concubine Xiao Shu, he was not trusted by Empress Wu, especially with the recent increase in the power of Empress Wu.
The growth of Li Xian made him even more excluded. Therefore, Li Xian expected that as long as the martial arts examination was held, the examiner would be in the hands of Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui's relationship with him could be said to be extremely close now, especially when Xue Ne was about to be taken over by Li Xian.
After I told him about my plan to be appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou, this kind of intimacy became even more indescribable.
However, Li Xian didn't know the profound meaning. He was very impressed with Li Xian's suggestion and said sincerely: "Wonderful, really wonderful. I didn't expect that brother Xian would have such a wonderful idea. As long as
I believe that by opening the martial arts examination, I can fill the gap where I have no military talents. In this way, my influence in the military will be greatly increased, which will definitely make my mother have more worries. By then, plus the seven
With your help, brother, I believe that my position as the prince will be more stable, and even the queen mother can only stay away from you and my brother." (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
