Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 107 How Much Can You Earn? (2)

"Liu Shangshu, please explain to me, where did this matter come from, huh?"

Prince Li Hong has always been a gentle and refined person, and he seldom gets angry, but once he does get angry, it is a big deal. At this moment, Li Hong is obviously in a rage, although he never yells, he is extremely livid His complexion, his murderous eyes, and the throbbing veins on his forehead all showed how strong the anger in Li Hong's heart was. His hostility is so strong that Liu Xiangdao and other veterans in the officialdom are terrified.

"Your Highness, calm down, old minister, ah, this old minister is confused, this old minister speaks wildly after drinking, it is really disrespectful, this old minister really shouldn't, it has failed His Highness's painstaking efforts, old minister..."

Facing the furious prince, the regret in Liu Xiangdao's heart couldn't stop pouring up, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine to buy in this world, it's too late to say anything, Liu Xiangdao can only have a face full of pain He pleaded guilty, his old face wrinkled into a big bitter gourd.

"Enough! I have said it too many times. The current situation is difficult. I hope you will cherish yourself and don't lose the big because of small things. But you are fine. The wine is refreshing, and even the bullshit dares to pour out. Regardless of the occasion, now that such a major event has happened, how should I deal with it, you say, you say!" The prince was really angry, these days, he has been living in an extremely difficult situation, and the power of supervising the country is very good. Not to mention half-heartedly being held back by Li Xian, Empress Wu would point fingers at state affairs from time to time, often returning the papers corrected by Li Hong. This kind of unhappiness already annoyed Li Hong endlessly , Now that such a bad thing happened, how could Li Hong hold back the violence in his heart, before Liu Xiangdao finished speaking, Li Hong couldn't help but slapped the case, and roared angrily.

"The old minister is guilty, the old minister deserves to die..."

Seeing Li Hong erupted, Liu Xiangdao didn't care to explain any more, he knelt down on the ground in a hurry, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy. Poor Liu Xiangdao was already in his late [-]s. Under the circumstances, he looked even older, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

"Your Highness, calm down. Now that something has happened, anger will not help the matter. It is better to discuss it in the long run."

Yan Liben was also very angry when such a big event happened, but Yan Liben couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his colleagues who had been in such a mess for many years. Seeing that the prince had a tendency to take advantage of Liu Xiangdao, he had no choice but to stand aside. With a gentle persuasion, he said.

"A long-term plan? I want to take a long-term plan, but my mother... oh, what did Gu do wrong? Why is there such a retribution? Gu..." Li Hong waved his hand angrily, his face changed a few times, and finally , sat back to his original position weakly, and sighed, his tone full of sadness.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this matter has not yet reached the point where it cannot be handled. Your Majesty is a sensible person, and you will never be sinned by such slips of the tongue. Although Prime Minister Xu is powerful, he may cover the sky with one hand. , this lawsuit still has to be fought." Yan Liben has been in office for a long time, so he knows the seriousness of this matter, but seeing the prince so sad, he has no choice but to speak out to comfort him.

"Sigh, I don't know my father's benevolence, but my father is sick in bed now, even if I ask to see him alone, it is difficult. Now that the bullets are in the hands of the queen mother, I am afraid that I can't be alone to decide the matter. Even the father is afraid Also..." When Li Hong said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he didn't go any further, but the meaning was already expressed very clearly, that is, this matter is now more or less ominous.

Silent, all silent, once Li Hong said this, no matter whether it was Liu Xiangdao who was kneeling or Yan Liben who was standing, they all fell silent, because the big guys already understood the key point of this matter in their hearts, but they just understood the key point. I understand, but when it comes to how to deal with it, I am at a loss. It's just that the problem is not only on the side of Empress Wu, but there is also such a tyrannical opponent as Li Xian in the court. It is not easy to settle this matter smoothly.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhou is seeking an audience outside the palace gate."

Just as the three monarchs and ministers looked at each other, Wang Dequan, the deputy chief eunuch of the Xiande Palace, hurried in from outside the study. When he saw Liu Xiangdao kneeling on the ground in a state of distress, he couldn't help being shocked, but he didn't dare After asking more, after a little hesitation, he hurried forward and bowed to report.

"What is he doing here? No see!"

At this time, Li Hong was in a state of disarray, he didn't want to meet guests, and Li Xian took advantage of him several times, he had already lost the intention to win over Li Xian for his own use, so he was too lazy to talk to Li Xian, so he waved coldly He lowered his hand and drank angrily.

"Ah, yes, this servant is going back to His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Seeing Li Hong's unkind expression, Wang Dequan dared not be negligent, he hastily responded, turned around and was about to go out.

"Wait a minute."

Before Wang Dequan could raise his foot, Yan Liben frowned and called out suddenly, stopping Wang Dequan's exit.

"Huh? Lord Yan, you are..."

As soon as Yan Liben called to stop, Li Hong suddenly raised his head, looked at Yan Liben suspiciously, and asked hesitantly.

"Your Highness, regardless of His Royal Highness Zhou's intentions, he will come to see you according to the rules of etiquette. If you return here and spread the word, there may be serious disadvantages. Your Highness may as well meet one time. If you feel bored, you can chase him away." Not too late." Yan Liben persuaded tactfully.

"Well, that's fine, let him come in then."

Although Yan Liben spoke vaguely, Li Hong understood the meaning—Liu Xiangdao was admitted because he criticized Li Xian. It’s not good to think that Liu Xiangdao’s drinking words came from Li Hong’s intentions. If so, it would be very bad for Li Hong’s reputation. In view of this, even though Li Hong was unwilling in every possible way, it was not good. Not seeing Li Xian, he could only helplessly wave his hand, and reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's request to see him.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Hearing Li Hong's promise, Wang Dequan didn't dare to stay any longer, he hastily answered, and hurried out of the study room, saying that Li Xian didn't mention it since he went to the palace gate.

"Get up, what are you doing on your knees!" After Wang Dequan left, Li Hong was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up, looked at Liu Xiangdao, who was kneeling on the ground, and hummed in a cold voice. After that, without caring about Liu Xiangdao's expression, he turned his head to look at Yan Liben, and said carefully: "Yan Gong, you wait and stay away for a while, it depends on what kind of tricks that guy wants to do. "

"Yes, I will obey your orders." After Li Hong gave the order, Yan and Liu did not dare to be negligent, so they each complied and hid in the cubicle behind the study.

"The younger brother sees the elder brother of the prince."

Li Xian came very quickly. Not long after Yan and Liu hid in the cubicle just now, Li Xian had already entered the study room. When he saw Li Hong sitting behind a few seats in a bad mood, Li Xian dared not Being rude, he rushed forward and saluted very respectfully to say hello.

"Seventh brother is here, sit down."

Facing Li Xian's salutation, Li Hong just nodded flatly, neither expressing welcome nor swearing at each other, but only being indifferent.

"Thank you, Brother Prince, for giving me a seat."

Li Xian had long been mentally prepared for Li Hong's attitude, and he would not care about his indifference. After thanking him very respectfully, he walked slowly to the back of the next table and sat down on his knees. , but did not rush to speak, but looked at Li Hong with a smile on his face.

"Is there something wrong with the seventh brother coming to find the orphan?"

Li Hong waited for a long time but didn't see Li Xian speak. In a bad mood, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he frowned and said unceremoniously.

"So that the elder brother of the prince can know that the younger brother is here for the matter of Liu Shangshu, but I don't know if the older brother of the prince is willing to listen to the younger brother?" Since Li Hong asked, Li Xianzi came forward without any concealment. It made sense.

"speak!"

Although Li Hong already guessed in his heart that Li Xian's intention to come is probably related to Liu Xiangdao's impeachment case, but hearing Li Xian's personal confirmation, he still couldn't help feeling angry, and his face twitched violently for a few moments. But it's not easy to attack, so I can only grit my teeth and snort coldly.

"Prince Brother Ming Jian, my younger brother thought that Liu Shangshu's words were just jokes, and my younger brother never took it to heart, but since this matter has reached the mother's back, it is no longer up to the younger brother to control the matter. Please also ask the prince Elder brother Haihan is the other." Li Xian explained with an apology on his face.

"Ah."

Now, Li Hong would not care whether Li Xian minded Liu Xiangdao's words, what he cared about was how to win this lawsuit, therefore, no matter how sincere Li Xian said, Li Hong would not take it to heart. With a gratuitous groan, it was regarded as a response to Li Xian's explanation, and the displeasure on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

Tsk, you're really narrow-minded, I'll fuck you, didn't you just fooled you once before, don't bear such grudges, it's boring, well, just give you a hard time!Li Xian slandered Li Hong fiercely in his heart, rolled his eyes, and had already made up his mind, and didn't bother to play around with Li Hong any more. There is only one word to say, and the queen mother will come to court!"

"Huh?" Li Hong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to say such shocking words, his expression changed instantly, he stared at Li Xian dumbfounded, he couldn't say a word for a long time, after a long time in a daze , then suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, glared at Li Xian angrily, and said, "Seventh Brother, stop messing around!"

mess around?That's weird, we also hope this is a nonsense, but unfortunately, things are definitely not as simple as you always think!Li Xian stared back at Li Hong without showing any weakness, and said in a cold voice: "When did the prince elder brother see his younger brother messing around?"

"This……"

When Li Hong saw that Li Xian didn't seem to be alarmist, he couldn't help being stunned again, smacking his lips a few times, but couldn't say a complete sentence...
