"Seventh brother, what kind of drama are you singing about?"
A good examiner was wiped out like this. Although Li Xian was very depressed, compared to the confusion in his heart, this depression was really not a big deal. He had never been able to hide it in his heart. Li Xian, who was staying at work, got into Li Xian's carriage as soon as he got off the court. He didn't even sit firmly on his buttocks, so he hurriedly asked a question.
"What do Sixth Brother think?"
Although the process of the court meeting was slightly different from what was expected, it was still generally under control. Li Xian was in a good mood. Seeing Li Xian being so impatient, he couldn't help but feel funny and naughty. Then he shrugged his shoulders and asked nonchalantly.
"Seventh brother, please stop making trouble. I'm very confused. If this case continues to be tried like this, when will it end? Does seventh brother have any plans?" Li Xian really couldn't understand Li Xian. What was the plot? However, what he was more worried about was that the prince was using this case to cover up the world. However, he couldn't express his thoughts directly in front of Li Xian, so he could only test them in a roundabout way.
This kid only has eyes for the crown prince's throne. He is really a short-sighted person! Li Xian is a shrewd person, so how can he not know what Li Xian's true thoughts are in his heart, but he is too lazy to tell the truth. This guy is like this. No matter how much he talked, it was of no use. Instead, he made trouble. In desperation, Li Xian could only despise Li Xian in his heart, and casually responded: "Brother Six." , in your opinion, do the court officials involved in the case deserve the death penalty?"
"This... shouldn't be allowed. According to the Laws of the Tang Dynasty, being banished for three thousand miles is the heaviest punishment. What? Could it be that the seventh brother wants to..., no, as soon as something like this happens, Qi I will never escape the fate of being impeached. I must not act like this!" Li Xian didn't care at first and answered hesitantly, but then he suddenly thought of a possibility and was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly He spoke out to dissuade him.
"Sixth brother has misunderstood. How can I be a reckless person? Although those gangs of thieves deserve to die, but there is no real evidence, I will not act blindly. I will never do anything that makes me want to do something boring. I am here. There is also a booklet, and I would like to ask Brother Six to take a look." Li Xian laughed, took out a booklet covered with yellow silk from his wide sleeves, and handed it to Li Xian casually.
"oh?"
Li Xian curiously reached out and took the memorial, unfolded it, and saw that it contained the verdict of He Lanmin's case. In addition to the fact that He Lanmin was the main culprit, he was expelled from the title of Zhou Guogong, confiscated his family property, and had his wife miscarried. , all the other Beimen scholars involved in the case were demoted from the capital and became minor local officials, while all the officials involved in the case in Dali Temple were sent to serve in the Anxi Army. The results of all the punishments can be said to be quite satisfactory, and there is no risk of giving anyone any excuses. There is nothing surprising about it.
"Seventh brother, please forgive me for speaking frankly. There seems to be nothing out of the ordinary when this case is decided like this. I think all parties can accept it. Even if the mother is dissatisfied, I am afraid it will be difficult to find fault. I just don't know that Qi Why didn’t I just finish the book in the morning today, but I made so many twists and turns? I don’t know why, so I asked my seventh brother to enlighten me.” Li Xian understood everything about the memorial, but not only did the doubts in his heart not lessen, but it actually He was even more confused. He really couldn't understand why Li Xian made a simple thing so twisty and complicated, so he asked in a deep voice.
Tsk tsk, I can’t even understand this. You have grown so tall, you are really not a political person! Although I have known for a long time that Li Xian has limited attainments in the power and strategizing skills, but seeing how slow he is, Li Xian
Xian still couldn't help but slander him. Of course, he was contemptuous and Li Xian would never bring it to his face. He then explained with a smile: "So that Sixth Brother will know that this little brother's move has threefold meanings."
The meaning is, firstly, I only have Wu Minzhi’s confession in my hands, and there is no testimony from the ministers involved in the case. It is not because I don’t want to do it, but because I don’t have enough time to act. If this sentence is submitted in court, the ministers will definitely cry out for injustice on the spot.
Not only that, if the mother's side is even slightly covered, things will not work, and the snake will not die, and there will be endless troubles! Secondly, the prince's brother may not be a trustworthy person. If he carries out his intention too quickly, I am afraid that our efforts will be in vain.
What happened last time, how can I do this to make wedding clothes for others? Thirdly, I have to give my mother some time to win over my sixth brother."
"Hmm? Queen Mother? Me? Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Xian's tactics are indeed not very good, but he is still quite smart by nature. He strongly agrees with the first two reasons proposed by Li Xian. But as soon as Li Xian's third reason came out, Li Xian immediately
Confused, he scratched his head in confusion and looked at Li Xian with great confusion. He couldn't figure out the reason for Li Xian's words.
Stupid, really stupid! He had already spoken so clearly, but the master in front of him was still confused. Li Xian really didn’t know what to say. He rolled his eyes helplessly and finally managed to suppress his thoughts.
Angry, he tried his best to explain calmly: "Sixth Brother Mingjian, the case has reached the current stage, and the Queen Mother may still have some thoughts, but as time goes by, I think the Queen Mother will see the facts clearly.
, with so many confidants fallen, it is difficult for the queen mother to achieve much in the court. Even if she wants to make a comeback, I am afraid it will not be possible in a short time. In this case, if she wants to withstand the pressure from the prince's brother, she must
There are only two ways left, the safest of which is to support the sixth brother and the prince brother to fight against each other, so as to buy some time to accumulate strength."
"Well, that's true. It's just that for brothers and mothers...well, wouldn't it be better to choose the seventh brother?" Li Xian thought for a while and felt that Li Xian's analysis was quite reasonable, but then he thought about himself and Empress Wu.
They had always been at odds with each other, and felt that this matter was unlikely. After pondering for a long time, he still shook his head uncertainly.
"The Queen Mother is a shrewd person. If she chooses the younger brother, she will inevitably be separated from the Sixth Brother. But if she chooses the Sixth Brother, how can the younger brother be separated from the Sixth Brother? How can the Queen Mother not understand that this kills two birds with one stone? Once
If the sixth brother fights with the prince's brother, the mother can take advantage of the middle and make a comeback. Maybe in three or five years, it will be a different situation." Li Xian said with a smile.
He gave an answer that seemed quite reasonable, but was actually not what Li Xian really meant. As for the real reason, it is simple to say, that is, Li Xian's political IQ is relatively low and he is easy to control. This is not the same as Li Xian's.
There is a reason why he chose to assist Li Xian instead of Li Hong.
"Well, what the seventh brother said is true, and I know it. Hey, the seventh brother only said one way, so what is the second way that the queen may take?" Li Xian has said it so straightforwardly.
, Li Xian could not understand, and after thinking about it silently, he agreed with Li Xian's analysis, and his mind soon turned to the second road to the recovery of Empress Wu mentioned by Li Xian.
"Is this the second way? Hey, if the queen mother can't pull the sixth brother, then there is only..." Li Xian stopped here, and then he raised his palm like a knife and slashed lightly.
"Ah, this, this, this..."
Although Li Xian wanted to take over the East Palace, he only wanted to defeat Li Hong in the court and replace him. He really didn't think of the method of "assassination". When he heard what Li Xian said, his face instantly changed.
I was so speechless that I couldn't form a complete sentence.
"What? Brother Sixth, do you think it's impossible? Don't forget how the Korean lady and her daughter died!"
Li Xian sneered, curled his lips, and said something cold.
"Huh..." Li Xian was not an ordinary person after all. After trembling for a few times, he quickly regained his composure. After taking a breath, his face became solemn and he looked at Li Xian seriously: "Seventh brother, what do you mean?
Well, what should I do for my brother?"
"Sixth brother, don't panic. There is a mantra here. Sixth brother, just follow it. It is inevitable to go straight to the top." Li Xian smiled and said calmly.
"Seventh brother, please tell me. Just listen attentively for me."
Li Xian was already convinced of Li Xian's strategy. When he heard that Li Xian had made a plan, he was in a good mood and hurriedly said something to urge him.
"It's easy to make mistakes, but you can get both sides!"
Li Xian didn't say any more nonsense, suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Li Xian solemnly, and gave two idioms word for word.
"Brother knows, well, which path do seventh brothers think our mother will choose?"
Li Xian nodded, indicating that he had understood the connotation of Li Xian's words. His expectations for entering the East Palace instantly rose to a high level, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Empress Wu would choose the second path.
But it was difficult to express this openly, so Li Xian's attitude was vaguely tested.
Haha, brothers are meant to be killed, and friends are meant to be betrayed. After all, this guy's face is not thick enough, and his heart is not cruel enough. He has the heart, but not the courage, what a coward! Li Xian only heard this,
He already knew what Li Xian was thinking in his heart, so he kept laughing to himself, but he didn't bother to explain it, so he stretched his waist and said without any image: "It's hard to say, but for Sixth Brother
, if you want to secure your position in the East Palace, it is better to hope that the Queen Mother will take the second route later. If not, the Crown Prince may be a lesson to the Sixth Brother."
"ah……"
As soon as Li Xian said these words, it was like a basin of cold water poured over Li Xian's body. The excitement that had just risen immediately turned into a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but shiver, and his mouth was almost wide enough to fill his mouth.
Got a big pear.
Damn it, this guy only thinks about good things, but never considers the risks behind them. He is really a rotten tree that cannot be carved! Li Xian glanced at Li Xian, was too lazy to explain any more, and simply closed his door.
His eyes were in a state of leisurely concentration, and he didn't pay attention to Li Xian's face, which turned red and white for a while and looked silly...
