Li Xian has always been accustomed to getting up early. Even though he had poor sleep and was in a bad spirit recently, he still got up before dawn. After practicing a few times of fist and kicking, he hurriedly used some porridge and walked towards the study in the front hall. After getting out, although my face was calm, my steps were obviously heavier than usual, and I obviously had a lot of worries.
Gaozong's body was really collapsed. After this stroke, he was completely paralyzed in bed and there was no possibility of standing up. The condition was a little heavier than what Li Xian knew in his previous life. It can be said in detail. It is still difficult to say when the big business will be. There is no accurate conclusion on the other side of the Imperial Hospital. Maybe half a year or three years, this gives Li a huge problem - if time is together During the year, Li Xian was not afraid at all. Even if Empress Wu and King Yue completely joined forces, Li Xian was absolutely sure to crush the two. But if the time lasted for more than two years, things would be much more complicated. After all, Emperor Gaozong has now It was completely controlled by Empress Wu. With the vicious nature of Empress Wu, she didn't dare to do anything. It was enough for Li Xian to be busy with some imperial edicts, let alone another The ambitious King Yue was staring at him.
The late strike is a response strategy that has been formulated. It is not that Li Xian does not want to take the initiative. It is really because of the situation. It is not that he can learn from Taizong to play the "Xuanwumen Incident". Li Xian has the absolute strength to achieve this move, but the problem is The next chaos in the world was not the situation that Li Xianle saw, for nothing else, because the current situation is very different from the situation in the early Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Taizong rebelled, there were not so many vassal kings who served as governors. , Now, in the 361 states in the world, there are as many as 97 states who are the governors of the royal family, and most of them are concentrated in places such as Henan and Hebei. Once Li Xian rebelled, how could these people sit down? Look, you should know that there are more than the ambitious royal family members of the royal family.
Although this thing is very false, it is absolutely indispensable to the rulers. Just like Taizong's prestige, he played the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" and encountered more than thirty times. The rebellion under the banner of "protecting justice", let alone Li Xian's prestige is far from the level of Taizong when he was. Moreover, the power of the governors of various states is growing, and they have soldiers and money in their hands, once someone raises them. The flag must be followed by many people. Even if Li Xian can easily suppress the rebellion, the situation of life is inevitable. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be weakened a lot. If there is a slight mistake, the end of the Sui Dynasty will appear again. Chaos are not impossible, and Li Xian doesn't want to take this risk or is willing to take it.
Because of the issue of great significance, even if the situation is difficult, Li Xian could only grit his teeth and make appropriate arrangements as much as possible to cope with complex situations. However, with more variables, all aspects to be considered There were too many things. Even with the help of Di and Zhang, two wise men, after several days of discussion, there were still many omissions. Li Xian was in a state of anxiety and irritability.
"As old minister, please see Your Highness!"
Among the many officials of the East Palace, Zhang Jianzhi will always be the first one to arrive, and today is no exception. Li Xian just turned from behind the screen, and Zhang Jianzhi, who was buried in the official document, had already stood up. He gave a great gift respectfully.
"Sir, please sit down."
Li Xian had long been accustomed to Zhang Jianzhi's detention, and did not say much. He just nodded, gave a calm command, and then walked slowly to the copy of the previous head, sat down, and picked up a note. He looked at it without a glance, and it was obvious that Li Xian was not thinking about this memorial, but rather waiting.
Waiting and waiting again, the feeling of waiting is naturally not so good. However, whether it is Li Xian or Zhang Jianzhi, they are very calm and will not show any impatientness because of this. They all sit there for a few days. Later, I reviewed the memorials silently, and the only thing that was inconsistent was that the atmosphere in the study was obviously too depressing.
"Dong, dun, dun..."
I don't know how long it took, but a dull footsteps suddenly sounded. Zhang Mingyuan, wearing armor, had already rushed in from outside, grabbed Li Xian for a few big steps, and reported with a slightly breathless report: "Your Highness, Nan Jiao There was a problem in the field, and the last general was incompetent, which led to the Yulin Army being bullied by the door..."
"Well, this palace will deal with it. I will go to the divisions of various departments and will not leave the palace without authorization if there is nothing to do."
Li Xian quietly listened to Zhang Mingyuan's report, but did not comment, but just gave an order indifferently.
"No, I will obey the order!"
The Yulin Army is the personal army of the emperor. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, it is a serious crime to conflict with it. Even if Zhang Mingyuan is the general of the Eastern Palace, Hu Ben, he is still a little guilty. What he is worried about is not Li Xian's punishment I am worried that Li Xian will be implicated by this. There is nothing else. If Li Xian, the backbone, has made mistakes, many officials who depend on Li Xian, are afraid that they will not have a good end. Now, the matter has already happened, so what will Zhang Mingyuan do? I was not nervous about it, but when I saw Li Xian so calm, I didn't dare to say much, so I could only respond quickly, hurriedly exited the study room, and went to arrange for the defense to not mention it.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, what can you do, what can you do!"
After Zhang Mingyuan stepped down, Li Xian did not rush to order, but shook his head with a wry smile and said with emotion.
"Your Highness."
When he saw Li Xian sighing like this, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help but worry. You must know that in order to convince Li Xian to act safely, he and Di Renjie have been trying a lot over the past few days. If Li Xian angrily drew his sword, The situation was afraid that it would be completely corrupt, but it was difficult to force it to speak out at this moment. Zhang Jianzhi could only suppress the worries in his heart and called out softly.
"It's okay, I just sighed. I'll do this according to the scheduled strategy."
Although Zhang Jianzhi only called out lightly, Li Xian knew what his unfinished words were. He was in a bad mood and was too lazy to explain more, but he just made a decision in a calm tone.
"No, I will do it now."
Zhang Jianzhi was worried that Li Xian was out of control, but he was not worried about the consequences of the conflict with the Yulin Army. Seeing that Li Xian did not react abnormally, he felt at ease and responded respectfully. Go to act according to pre-deployment plans without mentioning them.
It was already noon, but King Li Zhen of Yue, who had always had the habit of taking naps, did not go to rest, but paced back and forth in the study. The expression on his face changed from time to time, and he was full of thoughts, which made him very nervous. Li Chong and others who were sitting in the lower position did not dare to move slightly. They all sat upright with a solemn expression. Only Chen Wushuang was calm, and the white feather fan in his hand shook lightly from time to time.
"Prince."
In the silence, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded. When everyone's eyes were swept over, Pei Shoude, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, and grabbed the side of King Li Zhen of Yue, a few big steps.
Great gifts are endless.
"Well, Shoude is back, what's going on?"
When Li Zhen saw that the person was Pei Shoude, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly asked.
"When the prince said, the other end agreed to grant the position of governor of Tangzhou to the third prince, but we just wanted us to lead the leader tomorrow morning to impeach His Highness the Crown Prince for indulging in the crime of leading the guards. The son-in-law and the friend had been in contact for a long time, but he refused to let go.
,This matter..."
Li Zhen asked, and Pei Shoude didn't dare not answer. However, when he thought of Li Xian's ruthlessness, he couldn't help feeling uneasy and stopped in his mouth.
"uh-huh!"
Li Zhen is a cunning person, so how could he not see what Queen Wu’s intention was to do this? It was just a strategy to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. This was to use Li Zhen as a knife, and he was angry in his heart.
, but he just asked him to give up his position as the governor of Tangzhou, but he was reluctant to let him go. It was under such complicated mood that Li Zhen did not rush to make a decision, but snorted coldly with a dark face.
With a sound, he quickly paced back and forth in the room for a few moments before walking back to the top, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down with a tiger face.
"Father, my child thinks that the position of governor of Tangzhou should be the most important. We and the prince are mortal enemies, so why should we worry too much? Besides, this conflict between the Yulin Army and the Eastern Palace Weishu, a discerning person
At first glance, I knew it was from the old witch's deployment. The prince wanted to hate it and went for the old witch's sake. What's wrong with us taking advantage of this to make profits?"
Li Chong has always been jealous of Li Xian, and this time he was planning a mission to get close to him. He naturally did not want to see his father retreat at the last moment, so he stood up and spoke loudly.
"Father, what my elder brother said is very much. With the land of Tangzhou, my Yue Prince's Mansion can be connected to the front line. No matter how powerful the prince is, he will not dare to do anything to me."
Li Wen is not a man of law. He has been in a state of suffocation over the years. He went to war with the army this time, and he just marched around with the central army. Although Pei Xingjian is for the sake of King Yue.
, and also added some credit to Li Wen, but such a little credit was not enough to let him be the governor of the local government. The only way to be able to do his power and prosperity in the local government is to be transferred to the governor.
, thinking that Li Qian and Li Chun now have a state in their hands, and they have a little coveted about the position of governor of Tangzhou. At this moment, when they saw Li Chong stand up for him, how could they not follow him quickly
The truth of the above.
"Um……"
Even though what Li Chong and his brothers said were quite reasonable, Li Zhen was not moved. After all, it was not a fun thing to directly confront Li Xian. He didn't want to eat the bait, but was beaten by the Queen of Martial Arts.
Put it on the fire and roast it. In fact, this time, asking for official positions for Li Wen is just a test. Li Zhen just wanted to use it to test the reactions between Empress Wu and Li Xian, and did not really expect to succeed, but now
The situation seems to have the possibility of achieving this unexpected surprise, and Li Zhen naturally has to take a good look at the interests in it...
