In the study of Xiande Hall of the East Palace, the prince Li Hong, who was sitting behind a few sons, immediately drooped his face and said in a bad tone.
"Yes, if you say that to Your Highness, I will be incompetent and will not invite Your Highness to come to the banquet."
Wang Dequan followed the prince for a long time, and naturally knew that Li Hong was usually a gentleman, but once he started to get angry, he would be as fierce as a bolt from the blue. At this time, he saw that Li Hong looked wrong and immediately panicked.
God, without much care, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and quickly explained.
"snort!"
Li Hong snorted coldly, his pale face was filled with anger, but he still didn't get angry. He just waved his hand bored and signaled Wang Dequan to retreat. However, he stood up anxiously.
After walking back and forth in the room for a few steps, he could barely suppress the anger in his heart. Then he turned his eyes to Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao standing aside, and asked in a deep thought: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Liu,
Could that kid really plan to take over the job of a river worker?"
Li Hong was obviously really angry. His words lost their past gentleness, and even such unelegant words as "boy" emerged from his mouth. In view of this, Yan and Liu did not dare to do so.
After commenting on this matter, they looked at each other, and they both acted in a very tacit understanding of frowning and thinking. As for whether they were really thinking about this matter seriously, only they knew it in their hearts.
"What? Do you see nothing about this?"
The matter of the river engineering involves many people, and Li Hongshi has difficulty maintaining his normal heart. Seeing that the two trusted ministers had no words for a long time, the irritability in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He had a gloomy face and said angrily
.
"Your Highness, in the opinion of the old minister, Your Highness of Zhou may not really want to take over the Hegong Commissioner. The reason why he refused to call him was probably because he wanted to get it." Although Yan and Liu did not want to do more in this matter, they did not want to do so.
Yan, but after Li Hong asked this, he was forced to the corner of the wall. If he didn't answer, he wouldn't be able to do so. In desperation, Yan Liben had to stand up with a bit of hesitation and answered.
.
"The tactic of trying to get? How can this be explained?"
Li Hong's heart was obviously a little confused. For a moment, he had no intention of thinking about the subtext in Yan Liben's words, and then asked directly.
"Your Highness is clear, according to the old minister, Your Highness's move may be just a bargaining skill for the businessman. The river work is so important, and it is not something that the newborn like Youth King of Zhou can afford. From the situation
Analysis: Even with the Queen's intervention, it would not be possible to fall into his hands. Those who are really capable of taking over the Hegong matters will have no one besides except His Highness and His Highness Lu. I think His Highness Zhou must be in his heart.
It's a mystery, but because of the Queen's support, His Royal Highness Zhou's position is extremely critical now. Which side he prefers, which side has a greater chance of winning, which is waiting for a price. The reason why he follows
His Highness Lu had a conflict and refused his invitation. It all started from this, and there was nothing strange about it." Seeing that Li Hong could not think about the problem quietly, Yan Liben had to do his best to explain the reason in detail despite his unwillingness.
Something.
"Well, so that's it. It's a pity that Gu's seventh brother didn't go to be a businessman. Well, he doesn't want to come, so Gu will go by himself." Li Hong is smart by nature and was confused before, but now he hears it.
Yan Liben's analysis was reasonable, and his irritable heart immediately calmed down, and he even felt in a mood to ridicule Li Xian.
"Your Highness does not need to go in person. Send someone to invite him again. Your Highness the King of Zhou will come!"
The prince is the prince's lord, and he cannot easily leave the Eastern Palace. The situation is complicated at this time and it is even more difficult to move easily. Yan and Liu are both mature and polite people, so they dare not let Li Hong do this so much, so they look at each other.
At a glance, he almost spoke in unison.
"Okay, then I'll send someone to go and have another chance." Li Hong thought for a while, and felt that as the prince, he was indeed not suitable to appear in the Zhou palace at such a sensitive time. Don't explain it.
Even plain clothes were not suitable for going there, so I no longer stubbornly. I nodded, and agreed to Yan and Liu's advice...
"My brother, please see the prince's brother!"
As expected by Yan Liben, when Wang Dequan went to the Zhou Palace again to urge him to invite him, Li Xian agreed readily, without even delaying at all. He immediately set up a ceremonial guard and arrived at the East Palace in a huge momentum. As soon as he entered the study room
Before Li Hong could greet him with a smile, Li Xian had already grabbed him and treated him meticulously. There was no flaw in his respect for him.
"I'll give it up. It's really hard to invite my seventh brother to take care of him. I'm so eager to see you."
Li Hong was really angry. Even though he knew that Li Xian was an important figure in the river engineering matter, he thought that the younger brother in front of him had actually started a flower job with him, and his dissatisfaction surged uncontrollably. Although he smiled and dear.
It's gorgeous, but there is obviously a thorn in the words.
Tell, this guy is really sour, it's so bad to ask for it. We're here to talk about business with you, not beggars, just shout it, I don't know! Li Xian originally planned to follow the river engineering matter
Li Hong made a big deal, so the East Palace naturally had to go through. But if Li Hong was not mentally prepared, the business would have to break down. This was exactly what Li Xian refused to invite before.
The root of the root is to convey a message, that is, Li Xian’s asking price is not low, don’t expect to just take a few melons and two dates and try to fool it. As for whether Li Hong would think about it
Li Xian was really nervous about the meaning of the refusal, but in Li Xian's opinion, there were many capable people around the prince. Even if he couldn't think of it himself, there were always people who could think it through. Only Li Hong could understand the meaning of it.
Then he will definitely send someone to urge him again. This is the reason why Li Xian dared to refuse Li Hong's first invitation. At this time, he said sour words as soon as he met Li Hongfang. Li Xian knew that he had
After realizing his intention of refusing, he would not be able to see him as much as he did. Then he laughed and gave up and said, "I'm going to be late. Please wait for the prince. It's a sin, a sin."
"Forget it, it's good to come. Someone will be given a seat."
Li Xian is an important figure in solving the problem of river engineering. Li Hongzi is unwilling to offend him too much. Seeing that Li Xian had compensated, he was not good at taking advantage of the problem. So he took action and signaled Li Xian to exempt him from the gift, and then gave him a gift.
After Li Xian gave the treatment of sitting, he issued an order, and a group of small eunuchs rushed to Zhang Jindun. Li Xian did not make any politeness and sued him, so he sat down and sat upright without looking sideways.
