What is the most stable situation in the world? It will definitely not be a fight between two powerful countries, nor a melee between four countries, nor a battle between seven countries, but a tripartite confrontation. This is an unbreakable truth wherever it goes. , If Li Zhen wants to have a stable environment to strengthen her own strength, she must create a situation in which the Three Kingdoms stand in opposition to each other. However, it still needs to be considered which three legs should be. However, based on Li Zhen's current situation, In terms of his strength, no matter what combination he makes, it won't be his turn. Besides, he just wants to protect himself and has no intention of seizing the heir at all. It's better to let others perform the trick. Already.
The prince and the fourth child among the three are now popular, and these two cannot escape. As for the three, hey, the fifth child, Li You, wants to play the role, but unfortunately he has neither the ability nor the strength to force himself. He made his debut a few times, but either he was severely beaten by the prince or kicked by the fourth child, and he couldn't stand out at all. As for the sixth child, there is no hope. He is just a mindless thug. The seventh child Li Yun? Hey, although this kid is passable in both civil and military affairs, he is still just a dog in front of the fourth son. He can't get on the stage at all. In this situation, the only one who can compete with the prince and the fourth son is the one who was kicked out. Li Ke is the third oldest person in the capital.
The third child has some strength, and is very talented in literature and martial arts. Compared with the prince, the fourth child is much stronger. Unfortunately, because he is a commoner and has no reputation, he lost the fight for the canon at the beginning of the year. They were all in a mess, and were kicked out of the capital by the old man. They were defeated for a while. Of course, the reason why the third child lost in the first place actually had a lot to do with Li Zhen. If Li Zhen hadn't given the fourth child a " The idea of "Kuo Di Zhi" made the fourth child withdraw, causing the third child to confront the prince head-on. He would not lose so miserably. However, the third child's foundation is still there. As long as he can come back, this will The drama of seizing the direct descendant can continue.
I want to understand it, but it is not easy to do it. Li Zhen has been thinking about it in the room for a long time. The sun has turned to the west and he still can't think of a way to let the third child return to the capital. Here's the solution - according to the Tang Dynasty system, the prince's official position does not mean that he cannot return to the capital. During the holidays, if he obeys the imperial edict, he can still return to the capital to meet the emperor, but if he wants to stay in the capital, it will be difficult. Well, unless I can get the old man's favor again, after all, the prince's official position is generally due to falling out of favor, without any special performance, it will be difficult to go back to the capital to participate in the seizure of the heir.
It's not that there are no ways. Judging from the knowledge from later generations in Li Zhen's mind, just making up some novel things can make the old man happy, but there are two obstacles in this - one , Li Zhen never talks with the brothers, and rushes to come up with ideas, which makes people suspicious, right? Secondly, Li Zhen doesn’t know anything about the current situation of the third child, and is very familiar with the current situation of Jinan, Shandong. The situation is also very unfamiliar. Even if you want to give advice to the third child, you have to understand the situation in order to prescribe the right medicine. Otherwise, it will not only be ineffective, but also miss the big deal.
Difficult, difficult! Li Zhen had a splitting headache and couldn't think of a good way to solve these two problems, but there was no one to discuss with, so she had no choice but to pace back and forth in her room. , to relieve the depression in my heart. Just as I was worrying, I saw the personal palace maid Ling Dang hurriedly walked into the room, holding a red post in her hand. When she saw Li Zhen, she immediately felt happy and hurriedly said: "Your Highness , His Royal Highness the King of Yan sent a message, saying that he would like to ask you to come to the palace to have a talk."
Ha, I was just dozing off, and someone rushed to bring me pillows. It’s really interesting! Hehe, even though Lao Wu, this guy, once kicked me into trouble, he helped me say it later.
He replied, of course, they just saw that I can escape this disaster and sell well. Hey, if you invite me to come over this time, you must be planning to win over me again. Well, this time you are playing tricks on me.
Among people, Lao Wu may not be able to escape suspicion. Damn it, no matter what, just go and have a look! Li Zhen took the invitation and looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, but she kept mumbling in her heart. For a moment, she thought
He was so absorbed that he neither said to go nor said not to go, he just stood there in a daze.
Li Zhen didn't speak, but there was a strange look on Ling Dang's face. He took a peek at Li Zhen's face and asked with a little hesitation: "Your Highness, do you need a servant to pack your clothes?"
Huh? Why does this sound a bit unpleasant? Damn it, this girl is a little too enthusiastic. I didn’t even say she wanted to go, but she’s ready to pack her clothes right now. Hey, damn, there’s something fishy! This
Could this guy be a secret agent? Li Zhen glanced at Lingdang with interest and asked calmly: "Where is the person who sent the post?"
As soon as Li Zhen asked this question, Ling Dang was obviously not prepared enough. He hesitated for a moment before replying: "Your Highness, that person has left."
Hey, how can people in the palace come and go as they please? Bullshit! Anyone who can bring a message in must be someone from the palace. Damn it, this guy obviously wants to conceal the identity of the visitor. It looks like this little girl
It must have been the hidden stake of the third child. Although Li Zhen had already guessed the heel of the bell, he did not reveal it. He just smiled calmly and said: "Prepare the sedan chair. I will go to the Prince Yan's Mansion right now."
He glanced at Li Zhen in a panic, lowered his head, said "yes", turned around and went out, and ordered the sedan to be prepared without mentioning it.
Prince Yan's Mansion is on South Street. It is not far from Taiji Palace, which is about three hundred meters away. After exiting Chengtian Gate, go straight along South Street to get there. This is the first time Li Zhen has visited the palace of his brothers.
There was something strange about his head that he couldn't describe, and he himself couldn't understand what this emotion was about. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw a group of people from the prince's palace rushing to greet him.
The eunuch dressed in a housekeeper's attire lowered his eyebrows and said in a submissive manner: "Welcome to His Highness the King of Han, my old slave Gao Lin is here to give you a courtesy."
"Oh? Do you know me?" Li Zhen looked at the middle-aged eunuch and saw that his eyes were very sharp, so he couldn't help but asked curiously.
Gao Lin hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have met Your Highness several times before when I was in the palace, but Your Highness doesn't know about it."
"Really? That's good." Li Zhen laughed, waved her hand and said, "Liu Dequan, give the top executives some money to buy some drinks, and everyone else can get a hundred dollars each."
Li Zhen had a lot of money and was always generous with his dealings. The palace ladies had long been accustomed to the eunuchs who followed him, but the people in Prince Yan's palace had never seen such a generous master. Everyone was immediately excited and satisfied, and thanked him.
There was a lot of flattery, and Li Zhen was praised as a generous and kind-hearted person, unparalleled in the world.
Although he knew that these were all nonsense, they still sounded pleasant to the ears, right? Li Zhen was not polite at all, and just listened with a smile. However, Lao Wu, who rushed out to greet him after receiving the news, felt a little embarrassed and strode away.
When he came to Li Zhen, he said with a wry smile on his face: "What a good boy, you just came to my brother's house and you became a money-spreading boy. With this reward from you, how will my brother deal with himself in the future? Hey, what if
If my brother gets less rewards in the future, isn’t that like being pointed at and scolded for being stingy?”
"Haha, since Fifth Brother is afraid of being scolded, why don't we just reward him more at once?" Li Zhen laughed and said.
Li You pretended to be annoyed, patted Li Zhen on the shoulder and said half-seriously: "Good boy, you think everyone is like you, with so much money that you have nowhere to put it, hey, what if you really don't have it?" I have money everywhere, so I might as well leave it with my brother, and maybe I can generate some interest."
Hey, if you want to make money from us, there is no way! Li Zhen didn't take the problem at all, and laughed and said: "What? Brother invited me here just to stand at the door and chat?"
Li You slapped his forehead and said, "Look, it's all the trouble caused by the money given by the eighth brother. Brother, I'm rude. Please come inside, eighth brother."
"Brother, please go first." Li Zhen waved her hand politely and responded.
"That's all, that's all. Why do you and I, brothers, have to be so polite? Let's go together!" As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Zhen's shoulders, and the two brothers walked into the palace side by side, chatting and laughing. among.
The wine is good, and Li You is good at it. There are quite a few good wines in the house. Of course, for Li Zhen, these wines are really not that good. They are barely the standard of ordinary rice wine in later generations. The dishes are very average, despite the ingredients. Yes, but the workmanship is very limited. According to Li Zhen's words, it is a waste of good food. Therefore, Li Zhen doesn't have much appetite at all, that is, he just makes do with it. While chatting with Li You, he never asked Li You about the purpose of inviting him, nor did he mention his true purpose of coming. It was as if he just came here to drink.
Li Zhen is very patient and can keep her composure, but Li You doesn't have that ability. Although he can be regarded as a scheming person, he has something on his mind, and secondly, he is not as able to keep his composure as Li Zhen. After drinking for several times, Li Zhen still pretended to be nothing, but Li You couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the wine bottle in front of him, drank all the remaining wine in one gulp, and drank it heavily. He threw the wine bottle on the table and said angrily: "Eighth brother, you have been wronged today. I am incompetent and can't help you. I am ashamed, I am ashamed!"
Oh, this is it. Let's see how you perform. Damn it, I don't believe that you had no role in this. Maybe the so-called informant was sent by you. Li Zhencheng Mansion It was so deep that I was fooled by Li You's subpar acting skills. Although I was mumbling in my heart, there was no expression on my face, and I didn't speak a word. I just smiled.
"Eighth brother, I think you already know that that bullshit General Ying Yanglang was originally a soldier of Hou Junji's fellow, but that old thief Cui Yuanhao was clearly a member of the Fourth Brother. The two of them joined forces to deal with it. Eighth brother, that's too much! I'm sorry for you." Seeing that Li Zhen didn't respond, Li You had no choice but to continue: "Oh, it would be great if the third brother was still here, I won't let him do anything. It’s a pity that those gang of thieves messed up my brothers randomly..., alas!"
Haha, this *** is just a stupid account, I want to settle it, but unfortunately I don’t have the strength, so it’s better to pretend to be confused, so as not to get blackmailed again. Li Zhen has long made up his mind that this matter cannot be investigated clearly, and he can’t Check it out now, everything will have to wait until you have enough strength to slowly talk about this matter. Besides, Li Zhen doesn't believe that this matter will be as simple as it seems - the prince and the fourth child Although they are the ones who came forward, it is not necessarily something they did together. It is very likely that they are also being used by others, but the guy pretending to be righteous in front of him may be the real black hand. Seeing Li You performing in rapture, Li Zhen couldn't bear to see him unable to continue acting, so she smiled and said: "Fifth brother, how is third brother doing now?"
"Alas, third brother..." Li You said as if he was hesitating to speak: "It's not that good. I'm afraid even my brother won't be well. Alas, in a few days, my brother will also go to the official position. This From now on, those two bastards will rule the capital!"
What? Li Zhen was really shocked this time. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Lao Wu's words were reliable or not. Although her face didn't change, there was a storm in her heart... dd
