Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 108 How Much Can You Earn? (3)

"Since that's the case, why should the seventh brother want to be a brother?"

After all, Li Hong was not an ordinary person. Although he was shocked by Li Xian's shocking words, he soon came back to his senses, looked at Li Xian with flickering eyes, and asked calmly.

"Brother Prince, with the current situation, in your opinion, can Liu Shangshu survive?" Li Xian did not answer Li Hong's question directly, but asked in a calm voice.

"So what if you can keep it? So what if you can't keep it? The seventh brother already has prejudices about this, so we might as well talk it out, brother, just listen to it." From Li Xian's usual way of doing things, Li Hong can draw a conclusion, that is, Li Xian is even more wary of Empress Wu than he is by three points. Playing a scoundrel, not only did not explain his own opinion first, but instead led Li Xian to the army.

Heh, this guy is really hard to deal with. Compared with the sixth child, he is stronger than 01:30. It's a pity that luck is really too bad, and he will not be able to escape death in the end with such a thieves doom!Li Xian did not expect that Li Hong could stabilize his position so quickly. He still admired Li Hong's demeanor in his heart, but he couldn't help feeling a little more emotional about it. How much better than Li Hong, Empress Wu is also Li Xian's biological mother, although Li Xian himself does not want to recognize such a femme fatale mother, but the fact is that there is nothing easier to do, thinking of this, Li Xian can't help feeling it Suddenly, for a while, some people became in a trance.

"Brother Prince, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I don't care whether you can keep it or not. If there is a court lawsuit, who can be the arbitrator? I'm afraid it must be the queen mother. Once this case is opened, the consequences will be like this. Elder Prince, you can make up your own mind." Li Xian III is a human being, his mind is already close to that of a monster, although he was in a trance for a while, he was not intoxicated, and he woke up in just a moment, and bowed his hands to Li Hong solemnly, The tone is sincere and persuasive.

"Hmph!" Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Hong's face that had already calmed down instantly sank again, and he snorted coldly, and his chest suddenly heaved a few times because of this, as if anger was rolling in his chest. , Immediately, after a few twitches of face, he squeezed out a sentence: "Seventh brother, is this trying to persuade Gu to give up Liu Shangshu? It can't be done!"

Can't do it?Damn it, your head was crushed by the door?Under such circumstances, what kind of woman's benevolence are you still playing, and you are looking for death!Even though Li Xian had a good temper, he was also choked by Li Hong's attitude, and the unknown fire in his heart also surged up, his face turned blue instantly, and he replied with a sneer: "Since the prince is so capable, , then let’s count it as a lie, let’s say goodbye!” As soon as the words fell, he immediately stood up, and regardless of Li Hong’s expression, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.

"Seventh brother wait a minute!"

Li Hong obviously didn't expect Li Xian's reaction to be so intense, so he couldn't help being stunned. Seeing that Li Xian had walked to the door, he couldn't help but panicked. The heavy pressure on the other side is really powerless and unwilling to fight against Li Xian and the two brothers. How dare Li Xian appear to be guilty? With a loud cry, he rushed to the door and blocked Li Xian's way. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Seventh brother is so impatient, can we discuss anything? It's okay if brother is wrong. Come on, Seventh Brother sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

"Prince Brother Haihan, my younger brother is rude."

Li Xian didn't come here to be angry with the prince. Before the important matter was settled, Li Xian didn't want to leave at all. The reason why he left in anger was just acting. Xian Naturally got off the donkey happily, apologized respectfully first, and then sat back to his original position, but closed his mouth tightly, as if he didn't want to say any more.

"Seventh brother didn't finish what he said before. It seems that there is still something to worry about. As the saying goes, one person counts the disadvantages, and the other two counts the strengths. Please ask the seventh brother to explain it in detail, so that you can benefit from it as a brother." Li Hong waited for a while, Seeing that Li Xian had been refusing to speak, he had no choice but to break the silence first.

"Brother Prince Mingjian, according to what I see, there is only one step to take to avoid the corruption of the court, and that is Liu Shangshu asking himself to beg his bones to retire. In this way, the target has been lost, and there is nothing for the younger generation to borrow. This is the best strategy!" Although Li Xian had already seen from Li Hong's previous actions that he would never give up on Liu Xiangdao, Li Xian still had to make it clear what he had to say.

"This...Let's talk about it again. Since the seventh brother has the best strategy, he must also have the middle and lower strategies. Please tell me that we will come out together." Sure enough, as Li Xian expected, Li Hong frowned when he heard the words. Immediately locked it tightly, and after hesitating for a moment, still did not give a clear answer.

"What's the worst strategy? It's simple. Just go to the court for the prince's brother. It doesn't matter whether you lose or win. In short, there will be a big fight. It's hard to say who will be the cheapest in the end." He would take the best strategy, but when he heard Li Xian's lukewarm answer, Li Xian still couldn't help being a little annoyed, but it didn't show on his face, so he chuckled and threw out the worst strategy first.

"This...seems to be inappropriate. I really don't want to take it. I'd like to ask my seventh brother to talk about the best strategy." Even if the discussion can be settled, after a long period of time, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will definitely not be the one who gains, so he is unwilling to adopt such a stupid method.

"The middle policy is to determine the outcome once the dynasty is in the wrong direction. If the wind is not right, Liu Shangshu will still have to beg his bones to retire, and then the elder brother of the crown prince will hurry up to ask for a successor, and the ministers will be the last ones. Let's discuss it once the court, maybe It can minimize the impact of this matter." Li Xian knew that it was impossible for Li Hong to choose the worst strategy, so he said the middle strategy in a leisurely manner.

"Oh?" Li Hong was a little moved when he heard the right strategy, but he didn't want to be too eager in front of Li Xian, so he let out a noncommittal, frowned, and silently calculated the pros and cons of the gains and losses After a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother is willing to extend this helping hand, I am grateful for brother, but I don't know what brother can do for seventh brother?"

Do something?That's too simple, just take the benefits, everything else is nonsense!Li Xian said with a chuckle: "Brother Prince, you are too polite. I am alone, so I don't really need it, but this matter cannot be done by me alone. Well, I heard that Yang Wu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is very capable. , is a veteran of the three dynasties again, if there is a vacancy for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he should be able to stand up. In addition, Lin Qi, the supervisory censor, has been in office for a long time, and he should be raised. It seems that he can be promoted to the censor (from Below the sixth rank), Wai Lang (from the upper rank of the sixth rank), Wang Feng, a member of the criminal department, is diligent in his work, and seems to be promoted to the position of doctor (from the upper rank of the fifth rank), and..."

Since it was a asking price, Li Xian would naturally not be polite, and reported the promotions of more than a dozen officials, most of them were Lu Wang Li Xian's confidantes, and only one of them was from Li Xian's own royal family. ——Dianjun Xiaoqian has served in the palace for three years. As usual, he should be released as a local military general, but Li Xian asked him to be assigned to the Right Jinwu Guard as Zhonglang General, which can be regarded as a first-rank official rank.

"Seventh brother, isn't it embarrassing to be a brother? The position of Shangshu is an important position in the court. It is not an edict from the father. How can it be easier for others to get it? For a person's promotion, as a brother, you can only follow the rules, and you can't go beyond it, please forgive me for this one." Li Xian's lion opened his mouth, and Li Hong immediately countered the price on the spot. Except that Yang Wu couldn't be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry by killing Yang Wu, the rest was vaguely agreed.

"It's okay, my brother has a part to protect the capital, so I ask the prince's brother to think about it. If it doesn't work, there is no need to force it." Li Hong is now in charge of the river engineering work, so naturally he refuses to let the Ministry of Industry go. Xianzi knew it well, the reason why he mentioned the lack of Minister of Industry before was actually just a means of bargaining, so he didn't care much about Li Hong's polite refusal, so he laughed and took out a bag from his wide sleeve. Standing up, holding the memorial in both hands, it was handed over to Li Hong.

No need to force it?Look, Li Xian's words are so candid, he has saved his capital, and he still talks about what is there and what is not, which really makes Li Hong have the urge to scold his mother, but it's just that when he says it, Li Hong would never dare to I really offended Li Xian, so I had no choice but to accept the guarantee with a wry smile, instead of looking through it, I just put it on the table casually, pondered for a while and said, "I will do my best for the matter of the seventh brother. Brother don’t forget the agreement between you and me.”

"Naturally, I should follow the crown prince's elder brother's lead in everything. It's not too late. I will arrange it first. When the news is clear, I will fully cooperate." Sniping Empress Wu was Li Xian's original intention. If Li Hong doesn't give benefits, Li Xian has to work hard. As for getting benefits, it's just a matter of incident. Of course, if there is no sweetness, it will be difficult for Li Xian to persuade Li Xian to cooperate with all his strength. Now the prince Since he had given enough benefits, Li Xian naturally accepted it as soon as he saw it, so he stood up and asked to leave with a smile.

"Seventh brother has worked hard, please slow down, and I won't send it off for my brother." Although Li Hong vaguely agreed to Li Xian's request, in fact, he was still hesitating in his heart, and was in a hurry to talk to Yan and Liu. The two confidant ministers had a good discussion about the countermeasures. Seeing that Li Xian was about to leave, they were in the middle of their hearts. They smiled and bowed their hands in return, allowing Li Xian to go by himself, but Li Xian's people hadn't turned around the screen in front of the study. , Li Hong's face was already gloomy...
