Chapter three hundred and thirteenth on the eye drops
"Father, the Holy Ming."
People always like to hear good words. Many times, even if they know it is false, they will believe it in order to gain inner comfort. Li Xian is no exception, not to mention that such good words come from Li Xian, a potential competitor.
Li Xian had no reason not to believe it. After being excited for a while, thousands of words were gathered into a slogan, and tears of excitement flowed freely on his face.
Li Xian's words sounded very pleasant, and quite similar, but they were far from the truth - yes, Gaozong did have a candidate for the East Palace in mind, but he
It's not Li Xian, nor Li Xulun, who has barely grown hair, but Li Xian himself. Li Xian just figured this out just now. In fact, if Di Renjie hadn't mentioned a few words, Li Xian would have really
Not sure what happened.
The reason? It's simple to say. Gaozong was a very soft-hearted person. After seeing too many abnormal deaths around him, he was extremely disappointed with Empress Wu's ruthlessness. However, he was a person with no big ideas.
Even though she knew that Empress Wu was ambitious, she still couldn't help it
It's not that he didn't want to, but that he was weak by nature and didn't have the courage. Therefore, Gaozong, who didn't want to see his sons have any accidents again, wanted to establish a strong prince. This person was undoubtedly Li Xian.
, but Gaozong was afraid that the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" would happen again, so he
Thinking of inviting a capable brother like King Li Zhen of Yue to return to the court to participate in government affairs, what he wanted was a balancing and restraining effect. Of course, this was just a conclusion that Li Xian deduced based on the information he had, but when Li Xian thought about it,
, this conclusion is almost certain.
Yes, the problem is that Li Xian himself did not want to accept Gaozong's kindness, because in Li Xian's view, the time to take over the East Palace was not yet ripe. If he forced himself to do it, the consequences would be unpredictable. In this case, Li Xian
If he wants to enter the East Palace, let him do it. If you are a Taoist friend, don't be a poor Taoist.
"What Sixth Brother said is true. As sons, we must not let down our father's good intentions, but..."
Since it was a lie, Li Xian naturally followed the principle of deceiving people until they died, and was about to start applying eye drops. However, he was not in a hurry to finish his words, but deliberately made a hesitant and embarrassed look.
.
"Hmm? What worries does the seventh brother have? I am not the one who died. I would never dare to lose the help that the seventh brother has always given me."
Seeing that Li Xian was speaking strangely, Li Xian mistakenly thought that Li Xian was worried about future difficulties, and hurriedly gave his assurance.
Haha, this guy can't even tell a complete lie. If you didn't have the intention to burn bridges in your heart, how could you curse with just one mouth? It's really boring! Li Xian has lived for three lives at least, and in terms of human relations,
Since they were so familiar with each other, they could already see through the deepest secrets in Li Xian's heart with just one listen.
I sneered secretly at this thought, but I didn't bother to point it out. I just shook my head slightly and said: "Sixth brother misunderstood. The younger brother and the seventh brother are one body. They are even closer than brothers. How can the younger brother worry about the sixth brother?"
Brother is not good for me, there is only one person who really worries me, and that is Uncle Eighth!"
"It's him! Well, seventh brother, if you have any concerns, please make it clear. As a brother, you will have your own concerns."
Although Li Xian had extremely hated the King of Yue's instigation of the thirteen princes jointly signing the book, now he was relieved after listening to Li Xian's explanation. In his opinion, the King of Yue was just a governor, and the East Palace
If things are certain, it’s time to go back to wherever you are.
, The influence on the court situation itself is actually very limited, so he doesn't take it to heart. Even if Li Xian said it so carefully at this time, Li Xian didn't care very much. Then his face became solemn, and it was vaguely revealed.
The prince's posture was as if he was taking care of everyone.
Ha, this guy is so damn funny, he really takes himself too seriously! When he heard what Li Xian said, Li Xian was really dumbfounded, but he was too lazy to be like him, so he frowned slightly, his expression
He analyzed solemnly: "How to call me Sixth Brother?"
I learned that my father’s instruction to Uncle Eighth to act in such a big way was just a signal. If my younger brother had known it right, Uncle Eighth would not have come back so easily when he came to court. My father was very likely to have trouble.
I plan to let my eighth uncle participate in government affairs."
"Ah, how can this happen? The imperial court has its own system, how can it act like this!"
As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Li Xian's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Li Xian for a long time with a look of surprise on his face. Seeing that Li Xian had no intention of changing his words, Li Xian's face instantly turned red.
After his lips twitched for a few times, he finally spoke in a low voice.
"How is this impossible? Sixth Brother, please don't forget what the posthumous name of the Crown Prince is. There is no precedent in ancient times. There is nothing wrong with this matter of the vassal prince returning to the dynasty to take charge."
Li Xian's words were so idiotic that Li Xian couldn't help but rolled his eyes and pointed out the absurdity in Li Xian's words without politeness.
"Well, that's right. I'm afraid my father has far-reaching considerations for this move. I'll wait, tsk, I'll wait..." Old Li Xian blushed, smiled bitterly and shook his head. For a moment, he really didn't know where to start.
Yes.
"Sixth brother's words are very kind. My father's move does have far-reaching considerations. According to my younger brother, my father's original intention was to use his eighth uncle to assist sixth brother in order to suppress the mother's growing ambitions. It's a pity that my father made the wrong choice.
If you lose someone, all your hard work will be in vain." Li Xian had long known that Li Xian's political ability was very limited, and he didn't believe that he could see through Gaozong's intention. He didn't wait for him to say anything.
When he was done, he said a few words.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Li Xian had experienced the cruelty of Empress Wu many times, and he did not dare to underestimate it. When Li Xian described the situation so seriously, Li Xian couldn't help but panic and hurriedly
Then he asked further.
"My younger brother has not had much contact with his eighth uncle, but judging from his words and deeds, he is a talented person with a deep scheming mind. He is not comparable to ordinary people. If he enters the court, in order to gain a firm foothold, he will definitely collude with his mother and bring chaos to the court.
I’m afraid there’s going to be a big chaos.”
Li Xian deceived, but when it came to the consequences of Li Zhen's entry into the court, he told the truth, but when Li Xian heard it, he had a different feeling.
"No, I'm afraid my seventh brother is overly concerned. How could my father allow him to act so recklessly?"
Li Xian didn't know much about Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and had only met him a few times. He didn't think Li Zhen could be any stronger. He thought that Li Xian was deliberately exaggerating, even though Li Xian had mentioned it several times.
After hearing the threat theory from the King of Yue, Li Xian still didn't care much about it, so he made a perfunctory remark.
"Sixth brother, do you still remember the last time those brats ran into the younger brother's house at the eighth uncle's house? Hey, if there is no evil in his heart, why would the eighth uncle act so sneakily? If the sixth brother does not act cautiously, the heroic spirit of the prince's brother
But he hasn't gone far yet." As soon as Li Xian saw Li Xian's expression, he knew that what he said was not what he meant. He immediately straightened his face and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth in a sinister tone.
"ah……"
What Li Xian was afraid of was that he would follow Li Hong's path. When he heard this, he was immediately frightened. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Xian in astonishment. He was completely dumbfounded.
"Brother Six, do you remember Princess Yan who died a few years ago?" Li Xian allowed Li Xian to be in a daze for a while, and then said something unhurriedly.
"Princess Yan? Well, I don't have much impression. Oh, by the way, she seems to be the queen's cousin, huh? Could it be..."
Princess Yan was just an old princess who followed her son and became a feudal lord. Naturally, Li Xian wouldn't pay much attention to it. When Li Xian mentioned it, he didn't pay much attention at first. After casually responding, he suddenly thought of Yan.
The relationship between the princess and Empress Wu was like a bucket of cold water being poured down on her head. Her eyes were wide open and her face was full of panic.
"Sixth Brother's prediction is not bad. Hey, if the King of Yue wants to stabilize his position in the court, he has no other choice but to turn to his mother. Since the queen's strength has been greatly reduced since the case of He Lanmin, she must rely on external forces.
Come to make a comeback. Since the two have similar odors, they are bound to fight in the middle of the court.
If the sixth brother doesn't make preparations early, he will be in danger!" Li Xian talked so much just to give Li Zhen some eye drops. At this time, Li Xian himself was already suspicious of Li Zhen.
, naturally he would not be vague and filled the eye drops without any politeness.
"Damn it, brother, I will never let go of those two old thieves. Seventh brother, please give me a helping hand!"
When he thought that he might have to struggle to survive under the dual pressure of Empress Wu and King Yue in the future, Li Xian's face immediately twisted, he clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said angrily.
"Of course, I will only follow the lead of the sixth brother. It's just that this matter is serious and needs to be considered in the long term. It's good that the sixth brother knows it in his heart and must not reveal it easily." The eye drops have been applied, and Li Xian naturally saw it.
He just accepted it, said no more, and gave his assurance with a solemn expression.
"That's good. With seven brothers, you can feel at ease as a brother. As a brother..."
When he thought of Li Xian's ability, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief and quietly hid his intention to drive away Li Xian when he got on stage. He opened his mouth and planned to comfort Li Xian.
But before he finished speaking, Gao Miao's words were heard outside the carriage: "Your Highnesses, we have reached the end of the field."
"Hey, we're here? Seventh brother, let's go to the palace first. It won't be too late to discuss all other matters later."
Li Xian's heart had already flown into the imperial city. When he heard that the place had arrived, he didn't want to delay any longer, so he forced a smile and made a "please" gesture.
"That's very good, Sixth Brother, please go first!"
Li Xian saw through Li Xian's psychological changes at a glance. He laughed secretly in his heart, but was too lazy to pay more attention. He also smiled and waved his hand, politely letting Li Xian get out of the car first.
"Well, okay, let's go into the palace!"
Li Xian was so anxious at the moment that he had no time to be polite to Li Xianduo. He laughed, bent down and got out of the carriage. When he took a closer look, his eyes immediately widened...
