Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Six Thinking From the Long Term (Part 2)
Li Xian's body was already full of evil spirits, but after the bloody killings on the plateau, the evil spirit on his body became even more shocking. When he lowered his face, the air around him immediately seemed to freeze, even under the scorching sun.
, it also gave people a chilling feeling. Even though Li Xian was considered a brave person, he couldn't help but shudder when he was rushed by this murderous aura. He looked at Li Xian in surprise,
The resentment he felt disappeared instantly, leaving only an inexplicable feeling of shock.
"Seventh, seventh brother, is this a long-term plan? Well, we have to have something to say."[]
As soon as the chill hit him, Li Xian woke up from his inexplicable rage. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he was unwilling to bow his head to Li Xian and admit his mistake, so he said angrily.
"Sixth brother, listen to what I have to say. Now that the chaos in the court situation has emerged, we should focus on staying dormant. If we act without reason, we may get burned. This is not only the case for sixth brother, but also for my younger brother." Although Li Xian was very fond of Li Xian.
Xian's temper was irritating, but after all, he didn't want to have any trouble with him. At this moment, he saw that Li Xian was already bowing his head, and it was not for his own sake, so he offered a sincere persuasion.
"The situation in the DPRK is in chaos? Where do we start talking about this?"
Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xian was completely confused. He raised his head in confusion, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and asked doubtfully.
"Sixth brother, my father returned to the capital in less than a month and visited the Eastern Capital again. Who is accompanying him when he leaves?"
Regarding Li Xian's slowness, Li Xian was really dumbfounded, so he had no choice but to make a vague comment.
"Ah, this, this..."
Li Xian thought about it carefully, and then he was shocked to realize the true meaning of Gaozong's hurried return to Beijing and his hurried departure - the prince still got the title of supervising the country, but half of the six ministers were taken away. Not to mention, the minister, the doctor
Most of the main officials from various ministries and departments also accompanied him to the Eastern Capital. Now there is only an empty frame left in the capital. It is obvious that Gaozong's move was by no means unintentional, but had a vague intention of being wary of the prince. The reason why he did it
In this case, I am afraid that it is not only the reason for the jealousy between father and son, but also the instigation of Empress Wu, and the center of gravity of the court will most likely shift eastward.
"Huh..." Li Xian was not a fool after all. After being surprised for a while, he regained his composure. After gaining a breath of air, he said with a look of surprise on his face: "Seventh brother said that my father is against some people."
Are you dissatisfied with your domineering attitude?"
"It's the Queen Mother."
Looking at Li Xian's face full of expectation, Li Xian really couldn't bear to say anything to break it. However, the situation was such that Li Xian had no choice but to cruelly break Li Xian's fantasy.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, the look of surprise on Li Xian's face instantly faded away. After a slight murmur, he furrowed his brows in a contemplative manner.
Forget it, if you don't give this guy some hope, he might take risks randomly, and that would be a lot of fun! When Li Xian saw Li Xian, he looked like a child who had lost his beloved toy.
Looking frustrated, he couldn't help but have the urge to laugh wildly. However, Li Xian did not want to lose Li Xian's shield prematurely, so he could only say with a solemn face: "Sixth brother, this time the prince
My brother has gone too far, and the situation in the court has become unbalanced. Not only is his father dissatisfied, but he has also violated the mother's taboos. Therefore, there is no other way to take the Eastern Capital as the center. I would like to warn you. I want to come here at this time.
The prince brother is deeply depressed because of this. At this delicate moment, if the sixth brother can devote himself to it, there will be a bright future for him. If there is another storm, it will be just what the prince brother wants!"
"Well, what the seventh brother said makes sense, but, well, I'm just alone now, so how can I talk about the future?"
After Li Xian frowned and thought about it, he felt that Li Xian's analysis was quite reasonable, but he was not willing to be oppressed by the prince in such a miserable way, so he asked a question.
"Sixth Brother's words are wrong. I think this is a great opportunity for Sixth Brother to prepare for the future. The matter falls on the word 'imperial examination'. Counting the time, next year it will be another great competition.
It's time, if the sixth brother can get the position of chief examiner, he will have countless disciples, so why worry about no one available? Furthermore, in my opinion, the mother's move to move the court by force is beyond the capabilities of the prince's brother.
If the tolerance reaches the limit, there will inevitably be a big fight. If the prince brother wins, it will be fine, but if he loses..." Li Xian analyzed the court situation in detail, but stopped mid-sentence, and just sighed with a solemn expression.
"Um?"
Hearing Li Xian's words so clearly, Li Xian was first happy, and then surprised - the happy thing was that the prince obviously couldn't defeat Empress Wu, and was very likely to be deposed. In this way, Li Xian's chance
Then he arrived. What surprised him was that if he came to power in the future, he would have to face the same mountain as Empress Wu, and he would inevitably suffer the same fate as the prince. Thinking of this, Li Xian could not be happy anymore.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother. No matter when and where, I will definitely support Sixth Brother. At this time, Sixth Brother only needs to go on steadily and win the position of examiner. You can ignore all other matters."
Li Xian saw Li Xian's concerns at a glance, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he vowed to encourage him.
"It's really a blessing for me to have my seventh brother to help me. Alas, if my brother had listened to my seventh brother's words before, why would I be like this? That's it, that's all, just do everything according to my seventh brother's words.
." Li Xian was deeply moved when he thought of how many times Li Xian had given him advice. He had no doubts about Li Xian's guarantee, so he nodded cautiously and agreed to Li Xian's suggestion.
"Sixth brother, take care. I have to rush to Dongdu, so I won't stay much longer."
The reason why Li Xian asked Li Xian to have a half-way talk this time was because he was afraid that Li Xian would get confused and take action at will. Seeing that Li Xian had already untied his knot, he didn't want to be verbose anymore, so he said goodbye.
road.
"Well, I don't know when my seventh brother will be able to come back from here. My brother is alone in Beijing, and I miss him very much."
Although Li Xian was reluctant to let Li Xian leave, he had no choice but to look at Li Xian helplessly and said melancholy.
When can he reply? Li Xian himself couldn't answer this question. It wasn't that Li Xian didn't want to return to the capital, but that Wu Houjun would not let Li Xian go back to the capital easily. What he was afraid of was that the three brothers would get involved and become one.
Especially after seeing Li Xian's military and strategic abilities, it was impossible for him to let Li Xian leave easily. At least until the prince fell, Li Xian would not want to leave. Li Xian knew this well, but...
But he didn't want to say that he knew Li Xian. Facing Li Xian's expectant eyes, Li Xian had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Father, the Holy Ming, will make a decision. Sixth brother, take care. I'm going to go." As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't say anything.
Giving Li Xian another chance to persuade him to stay, he bowed and saluted, then strode towards the motorcade waiting in the distance.
"Seventh brother, take care. I am looking forward to your return in Beijing!"
Li Xian didn't expect that Li Xian would leave immediately, so he couldn't help but froze for a moment. When he woke up, he saw that the motorcade had started slowly. He walked hurriedly for a few steps and then stopped reservedly.
He stood up and waved to Li Xian, who was standing on the side of the convoy, and said something choked.
"Sixth brother, come back, the younger brother is leaving." Li Xian bowed slightly on the horse, bowed his hands in a salute, then waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Let's go!" As soon as he said this, the motorcade started immediately.
Accelerate and roll towards the east...
"What's the matter?"
In the study room of the Xiande Hall, Prince Li Hong, who was dressed in a bright yellow single robe, was sitting behind his sons. He was discussing government affairs in a low voice with Yan Liben, the Right Prime Minister and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Huangmen Shilang, and Zhang Wenguan, the Councilor and Political Officer.
The manager, Wang Dequan, tiptoed in, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated. Li Hong couldn't help but frown, and said something displeased.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Lu went to Lantian today. According to reports, he had a private meeting with His Royal Highness the King of England. The conversation lasted for a long time. I don't know the details."
Seeing that Li Hong was displeased, Wang Dequan did not dare to neglect him, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Yan and Zhang. Seeing that Li Hong did not express anything, he did not seem to be taboo about their presence.
He bowed and hurriedly spoke to report.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" As soon as he heard that the two kings met in private, Li Hong's brows immediately furrowed a little deeper, and he tapped his fingers unconsciously. After thinking for a long time, he gave Yan Liben a sideways glance.
, he pondered and said: "Xiang Yan, in your opinion, my seventh brother is planning to do something serious again?"
"It's hard to say, but in my opinion, His Royal Highness the King of England may not be disadvantageous to His Highness, but His Royal Highness King Lu. There may be some troubles." Upon hearing this, Yan Liben knew that the Crown Prince was deeply opposed to Li, who had outstanding military exploits.
Xian was already deeply on guard, and his heart sank involuntarily. He was afraid that the prince might provoke Li Xian randomly at this moment, so he hurriedly spoke out some explanations.
"Well, what does Prime Minister Zhang think of this matter?"
Li Hong did not comment on Yan Liben's answer. Instead, he looked sideways at the taciturn Zhang Wenguan and asked thoughtfully.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and I have no objections to this."
Zhang Wenguan was an upright man. Although he was close to the prince, he was not a member of the prince's lineage. He did not want to participate in the princes' game of seizing the rightful son. At this time, when he heard the prince's question, it was impossible not to answer, so he simply came.
He gave a prevaricating answer that was not what the question was asked, and immediately closed his mouth tightly, as if he was unwilling to speak.
"Sage? Haha, what a saint. I can't afford this saint. That's all. Zhang Xiang doesn't want to say it, and I won't force it. If the sixth brother likes to make trouble, let him make trouble. I want to see him.
How long can the quarrel last? Dequan, go to the warehouse to pick out some useful things and send them to Luoyang as a wedding gift for your seventh brother." Li Hong had obviously already made plans in his mind and didn't care about Zhang Wenguan.
After prevaricating, he waved his hand indifferently and gave Wang Dequan an order, with an ambiguous smile showing at the corner of his mouth...
