Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Six Take Advance as Retreat
"Your Highness, you, this is..."
"Your Highness, what happened?"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
...
Although Gao Miao and Lin Chengbin and several senior generals of the Ying Palace were not qualified to participate in the feast of Juxian Hall, they were all figures with identities. After all, they were accompanied by Li Xian to the banquet. Naturally, the Eastern Palace did not dare to treat it badly. They were arranged to have a dinner with the guards near the palace gate, and were quite far from Juxian Hall. However, because the battle between Li Xian and Ming Chongyan was too amazing, and strange things happened frequently, everyone was alarmed, but they had no choice but to trespass into the inner palace. They could only gather at the palace gate and talk nonsense. Until Li Xian was about to come out in a tattered manner, Gao Miao and others realized something was wrong. They were worried, and they didn't care about the surprise of others. They hurriedly rushed forward and asked in a lingering manner.
"I'm fine, go and go home!"
Li Xian didn't want to explain too much, but just responded calmly and kept walking outside the palace gate. Seeing this, Gao Miao and others looked at each other and did not dare to neglect themselves. They could only follow Li Xian carefully.
"Gao Miao, go and ask Duke Di to come to the mansion to discuss matters immediately!"
Before getting on the carriage, Li Xian paused and frowned slightly and ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Gao Miao was full of his confusion, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He answered respectfully. He first served Li Xian carefully on the carriage, and then held a war horse from a guard beside him, leading several followers to gallop towards Di Renjie's mansion...
"Sir, please see Your Highness!"
Li Xian returned to the mansion, washed it quickly, and treated the wound on his shoulders slightly. Then he walked towards the study room and turned out from the screen. However, he saw Di Renjie had arrived and was talking in a low voice with Zhang Jianzhi. When they saw Li Xian coming, they hurriedly stopped talking and stood up to salute and greet him.
"I'm all exempted. Mr. Di and Mr. Zhang, please sit down and talk."
Li Xian smiled and nodded and greeted, strode to the back of the top few times, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down. A book boy rushed to serve incense tea, then left the room, leaving only the three guests and the guests to sit facing each other.
"Your Highness, what happened in the East Palace?"
The battle between Li Xian and Ming Chongyan was very disturbed. Although Li Xian himself did not give any relevant instructions, "Mingdi" had already done his duty to send all the information he could get back to the Ying Prince's Mansion. What Di and Zhang had previously discussed was this matter. However, because this incident happened at the banquet at Juxian Hall, the cause was unknown. Although Di and Zhang had guessed some of the reasons, they did not dare to make an assertion easily. Of course, with their wisdom, they could see that the behind the incident was not that simple, and they were inevitably worried. Since Li Xian, the real master, has arrived, Di Renjie did not want to take turns to make more questions, so he asked straightforwardly.
"Some people are so idle that they just want me to do something, but it's not a big deal. Well, this is the case..." Li Xian curled his lips disdainfully, and told the story of the matter in detail and even his own guesses in detail. Finally, he raised a question: "What should I do if I do this situation?"
Li Xian's expression was calm and his tone was very stable, but it was not that simple in Di and Zhang's ears. It was probably because they were both wise men of the world, so how could they not understand the subtlety of the current situation? Although Li Xian seems to be quite powerful in the court now, when it comes to fighting with the three forces, there is no hope at all. Now the three parties' joint efforts seem to be completed, it is clearly aimed at Li Xian.
It is impossible to stop because of Ming Chongyan's defeat. If there is no corresponding good strategy, the situation will be dangerous. The problem is that this countermeasure cannot be easily obtained. Even Di and Zhang have already been mentally prepared, but it is difficult to make a decision in a hurry. They can only bow their heads and ponder. Li Xian is not in a hurry. He is not urging him, but just savoring the tea silently. There is an unbearable silence in the study.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The court will be in trouble since then. Your Highness must make plans early."
After a while of silence, Di Renjie took the lead in speaking, but his words were reserved and he did not speak clearly.
"Well, Gu is afraid that he is the target of public criticism now. Hey, even the prince cannot tolerate Gu in the court. In this situation, Gu really should avoid it, but this avoidance must be a little particular. Does Duke Di have any advice?"
Li Xian himself is a master of power struggle. He can see that the current situation is not very good, and he also knows that it is time for the officials to leave. But first, he doesn't want to go too hasty. After all, there are many things that have not been arranged yet, not only the affairs of the government affairs of the court, but also the matters of those business companies to deal with. Secondly, even if it is the officials who are destined to leave, Li Xian must take the initiative and cannot let the villains arrange a horn-burned land at will. Both of these require proper plans to ensure. In this regard, although Li Xian had some ideas in his mind, he did not dare to say that he was absolutely safe. This required the wisdom of Di and Zhang to prove it. However, in order not to affect their thinking, Li Xian was not in a hurry to tell his plan, but asked with a smile.
"Advance as retreat!"
Before Di Renjie could speak, he said in a slit. Zhang Jianzhi, who was sitting next to him silently, interjected.
"Mr. Meng (Zhang Jianzhi's name) is very kind. You can retreat, but you can't retreat in vain. In the end, you have to make one party feel a little painful. Your Highness can retreat calmly."
Di Renjie has been with Zhang Jianzhi for a lot these days, and he knows Zhang Jianzhi's kindness of being so proud of himself. He then stroked the long beard on his chest and explained with a smile.
"Well, I also thought so, but this is not necessarily so easy to enter. Do you two gentlemen have any good ideas for this?"
Li Xian was very keen in grasping the general direction. He had thought of this a long time ago, but hesitated to which side he should fight. As for the current court forces, Li Zhen, who is new to the court, is undoubtedly the weakest side. It is not difficult to strike. Even if there is no mistake in itself, based on the powerful dark forces held by Li Xian, it is just a small matter. It is only a matter of slander. The question is whether Li Zhen can solve the problem in front of him.
The dilemma is hard to say. If it is stimulated and the three parties are anxious to jump over the wall, then the fun will be great, right? As for Li Xian, it is even more impossible to fight. That guy is weak, and Li Xian still expects him to deal with Empress Wu for a few more years in order to gain some time for his big plan. The remaining choice is Empress Wu. There is no doubt that fighting Empress Wu is undoubtedly the tactic that best suits Li Xian's wishes, but Empress Wu is not so easy to fight. If he fails to fight a snake, the consequences will be a bit unbearable.
"The key to this matter is still the prince. If he can turn against him, then the major event can be settled!"
Zhang Jianzhi's wisdom is not inferior to Di Renjie, but his temperament is much harder than Di Renjie. Even when facing Li Xian, he speaks very directly. As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, he had already brought up the answer.
"Hmm? Sir means..."
Li Xianben was very troubled by this game of fine chess. When he heard that Zhang Jianzhi had already made up his mind, he immediately became energetic and quickly asked questions.
"The prince is stubborn and self-centered, and he is happy to act blindly. When he hears little profits, he forgets the great righteousness. He is not a person who can rely on. Now he is afraid of His Highness, but he is just worried that His Highness will take him and replace him, but there is nothing strange. If His Highness asks for an official, his heart will be lazy and it is not difficult to make him turn against him. If he is not as expected, he will come to find out in the near future. His Highness can sum it up in one sentence, but there is nothing difficult to do. What is worrying about is the Queen's cause to attack him. If he is unprepared and goes in trouble, why worry about it?"
It is of great importance, so Zhang Jianzhi did not dare to take it lightly. He discussed it in a rare long and analyzed the strangeness inside in detail.
"Um."
After listening to Zhang Jianzhi's explanation quietly, Li Xian did not immediately express his attitude. Instead, he repeatedly considered how likely the success or failure was, and at the same time he was thinking about which part to start. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but think deeply and never spoke for a long time.
"Your Highness, you must be punished and you will suffer the chaos! Now that the money and food of "Kongling" have been cut off, it is not impossible to start from now on!"
Zhang Jianzhi waited for a long time, but when he saw that Li Xian had never expressed his opinion, he frowned slightly and said, "I said it."
"Oh? There's something wrong! Orphan..."
Li Xian has handed over the past few days the information sorted out to Zhang Jianzhi for full processing, but he didn't care much about the progress of "Kongling" (Li Hongzhi's tomb). When he heard the money and food of "Kongling" was reported, his heart couldn't help but move. He understood what Zhang Jianzhi said about this. He was happy and was about to make a decision, but he saw Gao Miao appear hurriedly from behind the screen, so he stopped, raised his eyebrows unhappily, and glanced at Gao Miao.
"Report to Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived outside the mansion. Please make clear!"
Seeing that Li Xian looked unhappy, Gao Miao did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly ran forward, bowed and hurriedly reported the report.
Haha, Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, it was really interesting! Li Xian was stunned at first when he heard this, but soon came back to his senses. With his thoughts, he had guessed Li Xian’s purpose. He raised the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Sir, please avoid it for a while, I will take it now.”
"Your Highness, it's okay to go there. The emperor will wait for the good news."
Both Di and Zhang were extremely intelligent and guessed Li Xian’s purpose, but Zhang Jianzhi was silent, while Di Renjie laughed and teased.
"Hahaha……"
Li Xian could understand what Di Renjie meant, but he didn't say anything more. He laughed and got up, brushed his sleeves, walked out of the study slowly, and walked slowly towards the door of the mansion...
