"Seventh brother, what's going on? Is there anything wrong with this?"
Li Hong always paid attention to Li Xian's opinions, and he paid great attention to the changes in Li Xian's expression during his narration. When he saw Li Xian's cold expression, he immediately became alert and hurriedly asked a question.
Isn't it right? It's not just wrong, it's simply terrible! Fortunately, I took a trip today. Otherwise, I really don't know how to write the word "death". It's dangerous, so dangerous! Thinking of Empress Wu's insidious tactics, Li Xian He couldn't help but shiver, fear came over him, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat. Others might not understand who Qiu Shenfu was, but Li Xian knew it. It is clear that this guy and his brother Qiu Shenji are the same thing. They are the two bastards who are talking about the same thing. It is because these two guys are both Empress Wu's disciples, but they are buried very deep and no one else knows. But Li Xian, who had experienced the past life, was well aware of it. Although he was thankful, he could not help but be secretly frightened by Empress Wu's insidiousness and cunning.
"Brother Prince Mingjian, if it is really Qiu Shenfu's secret report, please forgive me for not daring to get involved, but Brother Haihan is the same." Li Xian shook his head gently and replied in a firm tone.
"Huh? Why is that?"
When Li Hong heard what Li Xian said, he was immediately stunned. He looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and saw that Li Xian didn't seem to be joking. His heart moved, and he seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure. Then he opened his mouth and asked hesitantly.
Why? I just don’t want to seek death. There is nothing to say. It’s just that the matter involves the secret of the past life. It’s not that simple to explain. Because at that time, the Qiu family brothers were still sinking under the water, and there was no sign of it. It showed that the two of them had joined Empress Wu. Li Xian could not tell the story of his previous life, but if he didn't tell it, it would be difficult to win the trust of the prince. After all, the prince had always acted cautiously, and this time he dared to plan a counterattack. A lot of preparation work must have been done privately beforehand. It is very likely that Qiu Shenfu has been investigated secretly, and even what Qiu Shenfu said has been investigated. If Li Xian cannot come up with a convincing reason, how could the prince do it? Believe easily.
"Brother Prince, you know that a small official named Song Xian under my brother is now the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. This person cannot be said to be very talented, but he has a skill that no one else can match. , no matter what kind of person he meets, he can get along well with them within a stick of incense. Since arriving at Dali Temple, I have never seen him do anything serious, but he can eat, drink, whore, and gamble all the time smoothly. The money came to my brother's house to play in the autumn wind, which really made me dumbfounded. However, this guy also has a good job, and he is very capable of inquiring. I learned some about the situation in Dali Temple from his mouth. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Song Xian mentioned Qiu Shenfu to his brother. He didn't take it to heart at first, but his brother mentioned it before, so he remembered this person's background. Well, so to speak. Well, this person has a close relationship with his brother Qiu Shenji, and his brother is a frequent visitor to Xu Jingzong's house. It's hard to say what the connection is here. I am timid and I really don't dare to risk the unknown. It's dangerous, please forgive me, the prince brother." Li Xian pondered for a while, but he really couldn't think of a good reason to explain it. In desperation, he had to bring Song Xian out and talk about it. The reason was really good. It seemed a bit reluctant, but Li Xian's unwillingness to participate in the matter was expressed very firmly.
"Well, what the seventh brother said seems to be reasonable, but Shenfu and his brother are not completely integrated. My brother has investigated several cases privately. What Shenfu said seems to be true. Is the seventh brother overly worried?" Li Hong patiently said
After listening to Li Xian's long speech, I thought about it carefully in my heart for a while. I always felt that the reason Li Xian said was too far-fetched, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But when I thought about this court meeting
The evil fight in the hall must be coordinated by Li Xian, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve full success, and it will not be easy to break out, so he can only patiently explain it.
"My brother is stupid and I really don't dare to act rashly."
Li Xian knew that the reason he gave was difficult to convince Li Hong, but it was difficult to find a better reason for a while. In desperation, he simply stopped explaining and insisted on his opinion.
"Seventh brother, aren't you optimistic about that Di Renjie? If this happens, I'll protect him as a young minister of Dali Temple. What do you think, seventh brother?" Seeing that Li Xian refused to let go, Li Hong's brows couldn't help but frown.
He got up, but he couldn't get angry at Li Xian, so he had to be patient and make a big wish.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Oh, my dear, this cake is quite big. It’s a pity, you have to have the life to eat it! Since Li Xian has seen through Qiu Shenfu’s true face, how can he fall for Li Hong?
He changed his original intention due to the heavy profit, but seeing that there was no way to continue the stalemate like this, Li Xian raised his brows and said after careful consideration: "Brother Prince, I understand my kindness, but I think it can't be done."
A wise person will not take advantage of force. If there is something fishy about that divine blessing, does the prince brother have any good strategies to deal with it?"
"Well, this..."
Li Hong had been planning to demolish the Dali Temple for a long time. He had done a lot of homework, but basically he was secretly checking whether what Qiu Shenfu said was true. He really had never thought about Qiu Shenfu's identity. At this time, Li Hong was
When Xian mentioned this and thought about it further, Li Hong couldn't help but shudder, cold sweat burst out, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Xian with a look of horror on his face.
, I couldn’t come back to my senses for a long while.
"Seventh brother, are you worrying too much? Qiu Shenfu shouldn't have caused this?" After Li Hong was stunned for a while, he shook his head and spoke hesitantly, but he was afraid that even he himself didn't believe what he said.
This is just a fluke.
"Brother Prince, I don't care. If you lose at worst, you can just go and become a vassal. But if I lose the bet, then..." Li Xian saw that Li Hong was already wary, and he would not let go of adding fuel to the fire.
Given the opportunity, he smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said half a word as if he didn't care.
"call……"
Although what Li Xian said didn't sound very nice, it was the truth. This kind of court battle is not a child's play. Once you lose, it will be difficult to come back. Li Xian is just a side hustle, so if you lose, it will be difficult.
It's nothing, at most he will be kicked out of the capital to become a vassal king. But if Li Hong loses, he will not be able to become the prince, and he will not even be able to save his life. Such serious consequences are not something Li Hong can bear.
At this point, Li Hong shook his head sadly, let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to rub his swollen temples in distress, and said reluctantly: "Is it possible that I have to swallow this bad breath alive?"
"Otherwise, in my opinion, this matter has to be dealt with by Dali Temple. How can we just let it go so easily?" Seeing Li Hong being so frustrated, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh and replied in a relaxed tone.
"Oh? What's the plan?" Li Hong was about to give up, but when he heard that Li Xian seemed to have another clever plan, he couldn't help but get excited and hurriedly asked.
"It's really not surprising to know that you have to rely on your ears. I have a brochure here, and I would like to ask the prince to read it." Li Xian reached out and took out a brochure from his wide sleeves. He held it with both hands and handed it to Li Hong.
before.
"Just follow the plan? Okay, if you follow the plan and make up your mind, let's take this fight!" Li Hong reached out and took the folding book. After examining it carefully, he slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted repeatedly.
When I got up, I was so excited that I couldn't contain myself - the booklet Li Xian brought out was not simple. It not only contained various news reported by Song Xian, but also contained many secrets that Li Xian knew in his previous life.
It has not been used, just because the time is not ripe. Now that it is used, it will naturally have infinite magical uses. Li Hong will not be able to use it without clapping his hands and applauding it.
"Brother Prince, if you like it, it won't be too late. I will go and make arrangements right now to win the battle. It's just a matter of great importance, so please don't let the news leak out." When I saw Li Hong.
Having made a decision, Li Xian didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"Well, seventh brother, please go slowly. I won't send you off for my brother's sake. I will ask my seventh brother for your help in court the day after. I would like to thank you in advance." Li Hong also had the intention to make corresponding adjustments to the attack on Dali Temple.
Since he would not stay with Li Xian longer, he stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Xian, and gave a very polite instruction.
"Of course, I don't dare to miss the important events in the court. The prince brother stayed, and I took my leave." Li Xian sincerely agreed, turned around, strode out of the study, and turned back to Lu on his own.
The palace did not mention it.
In the bedroom of Yide Hall, Empress Wu, dressed in an emerald green skirt, was lying on the couch, leaning on a thick brocade cushion, holding her chin in her hands, staring at the ceiling with half-open eyes, unmoved by external objects.
He was in deep contemplation, but as soon as Yan Desheng emerged from behind the screen, Empress Wu's eyes had already swept over him like a knife.
"Empress, there is news. His Royal Highness King Zhou has left the East Palace and is heading to Prince Lu's Mansion. The servants have arranged for people to follow him." As soon as he caught Empress Wu's eyes, Yan Desheng trembled unconsciously and hurriedly lowered his head.
He shook his head, walked quickly to the couch, bowed his body, and reported in a low voice.
"Yes." Empress Wu glanced at Yan Desheng, said softly without comment, and then closed her eyes, as if she didn't care at all.
"Empress, everything is as you expected, is the plan still the same?" Yan Desheng waited for a long time, but seeing that Empress Wu still did not express her position, he had to cautiously ask.
"Go ahead and let us know. Let's get started."
After Empress Wu was silent for a moment, she waved her hand obligingly and gave a calm order.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Since Empress Wu had given the order, Yan Desheng did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly responded and hurriedly exited the room. He did not notice that Empress Wu behind him suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of murderous intent burst out.
For a while, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became depressing...
