The Caizhou case is extremely complicated, involving the three major forces in the DPRK and China. It can be said that it is a constant mess. No matter who takes over the case, they will be scratching their heads. There is no other reason. No matter how the case is tried, it will be a mess. It is a tightrope walk between the three forces. If you are not careful, you will end up in a doomed situation. Even Liu Rengui, a veteran of the officialdom who has experienced endless storms, still feels powerless when facing this situation. However, for Li Xian, it is not the case. It was a very difficult matter because the key to everything lay with him. How to deal with this matter could only be determined by Li Xian's words.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. For this trivial matter, Mr. Liu will just go to Caizhou. As for the matter of viewing the Dajiao, Mr. Liu will just leave it to Liu Yizhi for review."
Li Xian had a good idea in mind, so he spoke very casually. However, in this casualness, he showed strong self-confidence.
"Well, that's feasible, but how should the Caizhou case be brought to trial?"
Liu Rengui was a veteran in the officialdom. Even though Li Xian had just started, he already understood Li Xian's thinking. It is not very mysterious to say that it was Li Xian who used the big angle view in the capital to hold back the rear party. This was in line with Liu Rengui's original intention, but he was still a little unsure about how to deal with the Caizhou case, so he pondered. He asked a question.
"Just uphold the original verdict. As for the officials involved in the case, just let it go and deal with how to impeach them. Don't worry too much."
Times have changed, and it is difficult to get to the bottom of the Caizhou case. Not to mention that Li Xian himself is the biggest culprit. He does not expect any breakthrough in the case. Maintaining the original verdict is undoubtedly the best choice.
"No, I know what to do."
What Liu Rengui was afraid of was that Li Xian wanted to use the Caizhou case to stir up trouble. When he heard that Li Xian actually had plans to settle the matter, he felt relieved, so he stopped asking any more questions and hurriedly agreed. .
"Well, it won't be too late. I'm afraid things may change later. Mr. Liu has dealt with the matter this morning. I'm waiting in Beijing for Mr. Liu's triumphant return."
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained. Li Xian does not intend to keep Liu Rengui any longer. It is not that he does not want to get closer to him, but he is worried that things will change. After all, regardless of Empress Wu Neither the King of Yue nor the King of Yue are easy to get along with. Li Xian was able to kill Gao Zhizhou, and he would not have plotted against Liu Rengui until he had seen these two. Before the case was concluded, Li Xian did not intend to reveal the actual relationship between them.
"No, I will retire."
Liu Rengui was also a sensible person, so he knew that it was not the time to reveal their relationship, so he didn't say anything more, stood up, bowed, and left.
"how?"
As soon as Liu Rengui left, the wall behind Li Xian suddenly opened to the left and right and slid open silently. Zhang Jianzhi, who was sweating profusely, walked out of it, walked quickly to the opposite side of Li Xian, lifted up the hem of his robe, and lifted up the hem of his robe. After sitting down, Li Xian poured a bowl of tea for Zhang Jianzhi himself and asked casually.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
The secret room was stuffy and hot. Unfortunately, Zhang Jianzhi was very thirsty at the moment. He didn't want to talk nonsense. He simply said something, picked up the tea bowl and drank a lot of milk. Li Xian couldn't help but look at the urgent situation. Then he laughed.
"Your Highness, don't be too happy too early. Although Lord Zhengze is a powerful helper to Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the empress and the King of Yue from joining forces with this rule alone. There will be times when Your Highness will be worried."
Zhang Jianzhi was afraid that Li Xian would go too far, so as soon as he put down the tea bowl, he poured a basin of cold water on Li Xian unceremoniously, which immediately made Li Xian unable to laugh...
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Not to mention how Li Xian and Zhang Jianzhi discussed how to deal with the future situation, but in the study room of Prince Yue's Mansion, Li Zhen was discussing the current situation with Chen Wushuang and Pei Shoude.
The atmosphere inside was quite depressing, with a suffocating feeling.
"Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this matter?"
Silence after silence, the more silent, the duller Li Zhen's mood became. The blow of all this was really too great. Not only did it lose such an important helper as Gao Zhizhou, but also because of the loss of his youngest son Li Zhen.
Chun is still deeply involved in the case. God knows whether Li Xian will use his force again. If Li Chun is really involved again, the Yue Wang family will not only be injured, but also their foundation.
Even if Li Zhen is in a bad mood, she can only cheer up.
A signal was sent for discussion.
"My lord, in my opinion, there won't be much change in Caizhou. Maintaining the status quo is not only beneficial to us, but also to the prince. However, we need to be careful of something weird happening to the empress."
, just in case, if we don’t do more about Dajiao Temple, even if we can’t capture the people in Qixia Mountain, at least we can make the empress unable to take care of Caizhou.”
Although Li Zhen had already spoken, Chen Wushuang had no intention of speaking. He just lowered his head and thought deeply. When Pei Shoude saw this, he was afraid of chilling the atmosphere, so he spoke first and explained his calculation in a simple way.
came out.
"Well, what do Wushuang think about this?"
Li Zhen did not comment on Pei Shoude's suggestion, but the slight frown clearly showed that she was not too interested in Pei Shoude's method.
"It's not necessary. His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally do this. There is no need for us to do anything more. If Chen's prediction is correct, it will be Liu Rengui who goes to Caizhou, and Liu Yizhi is afraid that he will stay in Beijing to deal with Dajiaoguan.
For one thing, before the Caizhou case is concluded, the Dajiaoguan matter will not be clarified. If we take a hand in it, apart from offending the empress, there will be no benefit at all."
Chen Wushuang shook his head slightly and dismissed Pei Shoude's advice as worthless without any mercy.
"Well, from Yi Wushuang's point of view, what's it like to be alone?"
Li Zhen obviously strongly agreed with Chen Wushuang's analysis. In his view, things had reached such a stage, the damage had been great, and it was impossible to make up for it. No matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless. What really made him uneasy was what would happen next.
After all is said and done, should we remain independent or should we rely on someone else? Which one should we choose as the target of utilization?
"wait!"
Chen Wushuang answered quickly and simply. The answer was just one word.
"Wait? How do you say this?"
Chen Wushuang's answer was obviously beyond Li Zhen's expectation, and she couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Chen Wushuang suspiciously, frowned, and hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty, we have learned clearly that in this case, we have no place to focus. If we act blindly, not only will it be difficult to gain anything, but we may be trapped deeper. We can just wait for the case to be concluded. Although the Fourth Prince's relationship is inevitable, it will not If there is any serious punishment, at least the empress will not do anything to the fourth son. At most, it will be to change the state to practice. There is no one in Xiangzhou now, so why not let the fourth son return to Xiangzhou."
As a wise man, Chen Wushuang understood what Li Zhen really wanted to ask, but he did not rush to answer. Instead, he first told how to deal with the Caizhou case.
"So..., it's good, Chun'er's response this time is not bad. With him back to Xiangzhou to watch, I can feel relieved, but, well, it's just that the prince's guy is so rampant, I can't help but react. It would be inappropriate to make the people below me feel cold. I wonder what Wushuang can teach me?"
Although she knew that her side was destined to suffer a heavy loss this time, Li Zhen was still unwilling to accept it. Her heart was full of hatred for Li Xian, but she knew that she was temporarily unable to resist Li Xian's strength, so she had no choice but to do so. Under this situation, all he could do was ask Chen Wushuang for advice in an extremely depressed manner.
"Chen still has the same answer - wait!"
Chen Wushuang raised his head and glanced at Li Zhen, shook his head helplessly, and answered dryly.
"Brother Wushuang, just waiting for the general is not an option. You can't just sit and wait for the prince to defeat us one by one?"
Pei Shoude's previous suggestion was refuted, and he felt a little upset on his face. Hearing Chen Wushuang's words, he had only one answer, and the dissatisfaction in his heart welled up. Before Li Zhen could say anything, he was already standing aside. Mi Tai said.
"Then we still have to wait!"
Chen Wushuang ignored Pei Shoude's unkind tone, shook his head and said it back firmly.
"this……"
As soon as he heard Chen Wushuang's response, Pei Shoude became anxious. He opened his mouth and wanted to question Chen Wushuang again.
"Wushuang, how should we interpret the word 'wait'?"
Li Zhen didn't want her right-hand man to start an argument, so before Pei Shoude could finish his words, he interrupted.
"Replying to the prince, His Highness the Crown Prince is now in a strong position. We cannot resist it alone. Even the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not be able to do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince. The only solution now is to unite Wu to resist Wei, but it requires An opportunity, in the current chaotic situation, it is not the time to join forces with the Queen. If we do it too early, we will not be able to show our strength. Secondly, we will not be able to easily win the trust of the Queen. After all, we must We have to find a time to send carbon in the snow, so that we can do it cheaply; besides, I am afraid that the empress is waiting for the prince to submit to her, and if she goes now, it will be underestimated by him, which will be very detrimental to the prince!"
Chen Wushuang ignored Pei Shoude's red face, bowed to Li Zhen, and analyzed the situation in detail.
"Well……"
Although she knew that what Chen Wushuang said was right, the unwillingness in Li Zhen's heart did not diminish much. When she thought of Gao Zhizhou's death, Li Zhen's heart tightened severely. She pondered for a long time and did nothing. After making a decision, Chen and Pei did not dare to urge them, and the room immediately fell into a strange silence...
