Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 127 The Prince's Counterattack (4)

"Seventh brother, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Li Hong has always attached great importance to Li Xian's opinions. During the narration, he paid great attention to the changes in Li Xian's expression. Seeing Li Xian's extremely cold expression, he immediately became vigilant, and hurriedly asked a question.

inappropriate?Not only is it inappropriate, it is simply terrible!Fortunately, I took a trip today. Otherwise, I really don't know how the word "death" is written. It's dangerous, so dangerous!Thinking of Empress Wu's insidious tricks, Li Xian couldn't help shivering. After a while, he was afraid of attacking, and his back was soaked in sweat gushing out in an instant—who is Qiu Shenfu? Others may not understand , but Li Xian knew very well that this guy and his brother Qiu Shenji were the same thing, and the same guy was talking about these two bastards, because these two guys were part of Empress Wu's party, but they were buried very deep It's just that others don't know, but Li Xian, who has experience in the previous life, knows it very well. He is just lucky, but he can't help being secretly shocked by Empress Wu's insidiousness and cunning.

"Brother Prince Mingjian, if it is really something that Qiu Shenfu secretly reported, please forgive me for not daring to intervene in it, and Brother Prince Haihan will not." Li Xian shook his head lightly, and replied in a resolute tone.

"Huh? Why is that?"

When Li Hong heard what Li Xian said, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, saw that Li Xian didn't look like he was joking, his heart moved, he seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure. He opened his mouth and asked hesitantly.

why?I just don't want to seek my own death. There's nothing to say, it's just about the secrets of the previous life. If I really want to explain it, it's not that simple. Probably because the brothers of the Qiu family are still sinking at the bottom of the water, and there is no sign that the two are still alive. He has already been under Empress Wu's command, so Li Xian can't tell the story of his previous life, but if he doesn't, it will be difficult to win the trust of the crown prince. A lot of preparatory work has been done in private, and it is very likely that Qiu Shenfu has been investigated secretly, and even what Qiu Shenfu said has been investigated. If Li Xian can't come up with a convincing reason, how can the prince believe it easily? .

"Brother Prince, you know that Song Xian, one of my subordinates, is now in Dali Temple and has become the Chancellor of Dali Temple. This person is not very talented, but he has a skill that others can't match. No matter what kind of people he meets, this guy can get along with them well within a stick of incense. Since he came to Dali Temple, he has never seen him do anything serious. He eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles well, and every time he loses money They all came to the courtier's mansion to play the autumn wind, which really made the courtier dumbfounded, but this guy also has a good thing, and he is very capable of inquiring, and the courtier learned about the situation of Dali Temple from him. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Song Xian had mentioned Qiu Shenfu to his younger brother, but his younger brother didn't take it to heart, but his older brother mentioned it earlier, and then his younger brother remembered the background of this person, well, let's put it this way , this person has a close relationship with his brother Qiu Shenji, and his brother is a frequent visitor to Xu Jingzong's house. It's hard to say what is involved here. The younger brother is timid and dare not take unknown risks Please forgive me.” Li Xian pondered for a while, but couldn’t think of a good reason to explain it. In desperation, he had no choice but to bring up Song Xian and make a big fuss about it. Reluctantly, but Li Xian's refusal to participate in the matter was extremely resolute.

"Well, what the seventh brother said seems to be reasonable, but Shenfu and his brother are not one and the same. My brother has investigated several cases in private, and what Shenfu said seems to be true. Is the seventh brother worrying too much?" Li Hong patiently After listening to Li Xian's long speech carefully, and after thinking about it in my heart for a while, I always felt that the reason Li Xian said was too far-fetched, so I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Li Xian had to cooperate in the fight, otherwise it would be difficult to do his best, and it would not be easy to explode, so he could only explain it patiently.

"My brother is stupid, I really dare not act recklessly."

Li Xian knew that the reason he said would not convince Li Hong, but it would be difficult to find a better reason for a while, so in desperation, he simply stopped explaining and insisted on his own opinion.

"Isn't the seventh brother optimistic about that Di Renjie? If this happens, I will protect him as the young minister of Dali Temple. What does the seventh brother think?" Seeing that Li Xian refused to let go, Li Hong frowned involuntarily. He got up, but he didn't want to get angry at Li Xian, so he could only patiently make a big wish.

Dali Temple Shaoqing?Heh, good guy, this cake is not too small, it's a pity, you have to have that life to eat it!Now that Li Xian has seen through Qiu Shenfu's true face, how could he change his original intention because of Li Hong's great profit, but seeing that it is not an option to continue in such a stalemate, Li Xian raised his brows, and said in deliberation; " The elder brother of the crown prince kindly understands this brother, but the younger brother thinks that something cannot be done and forces it to be done, but the wise will not take it. If there is something wrong with the divine blessing of Qiu, can the elder brother of the prince have any good countermeasures?"

"Well, this..."

It has been a long time since Li Hong planned to demolish the Dali Temple. Naturally, he had done a lot of homework, but basically he was secretly checking whether what Qiu Shenfu said was true. He had never thought about the identity of Qiu Shenfu. After mentioning this point, Li Hong couldn't help but shuddered when he thought about it. Cold sweat burst out, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Xian with a look of horror on his face. , I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

"Seventh Brother, don't worry too much, why don't Qiu Shenfu do this?" After Li Hongfa was stunned for a while, he shook his head violently and opened his mouth hesitantly, but he probably didn't even believe what he said. This is just a fluke in case.

"Brother Prince, I don't care about the younger brother. If you lose the big deal, you can go to Fan, but if the elder brother loses the bet, then..." Li Xian saw that Li Hong was already vigilant, so he would not let this add fuel to the fire. Seeing the opportunity, he shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said half of the sentence in an indifferent manner.

"call……"

Although what Li Xian said is not very nice, it is the truth. This kind of court battle is not a child's play. Once you lose, it will be difficult to make a comeback. It's nothing, at most, he will be expelled from the capital to become a vassal king, but if Li Hong loses, he will not be able to become the crown prince, and even his life will not be saved. Such serious consequences are not something Li Hong can afford. At this point, Li Hong shook his head dejectedly, let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hands to rub his swollen temples in distress, and said unwillingly, "Could it be that I have to swallow this bad breath alive as an orphan?"

"Otherwise, according to my brother, this matter still has to fall on the Dali Temple, so how can it be easily settled." Seeing that Li Hong was so depressed, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, and replied in a relaxed tone.

"Oh? The plan will be released?" Li Hong had planned to give up, but when he heard that Li Xian seemed to have another clever plan, he couldn't help but regain his energy, and hurriedly asked a question.

"It's just a plan, it's really nothing amazing. I have a booklet here, please read it." Li Xian reached out and took out a booklet from his wide sleeve, held it in both hands, and handed it to Li Hong. before.

"Follow the plan? Okay, it's a good plan, the will is determined, let's fight this time!" Li Hong stretched out his hand to take the book, and after going through it carefully, he slapped his thigh suddenly and screamed loudly. When he got well, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself—the booklet that Li Xian took out was not simple, it contained not only various news reported by Song Xian, but also many secrets that Li Xian knew in his previous life. I haven't used it all the time, it's just because the timing is immature, it will be used this time, it will naturally have infinite magical uses, and Li Hong can't help but applaud if he is free.

"Brother Crown Prince thinks it's all right, and it's not too late. My younger brother will go and make arrangements to win the battle. It's just a matter of great importance. Please don't leak the news." Seeing Li Hong Now that he had made a decision, Li Xian didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Well, the seventh brother walks slowly, and I won't send it off for the elder brother. In the future, I will ask the seventh brother to help me a lot. I thank the elder brother in advance." Li Hong also had the intention to make corresponding adjustments to the matter of attacking Dali Temple. Since he wouldn't keep Li Xian any longer, he also stood up, cupped his hands at Li Xian, and said politely.

"Naturally, I dare not miss the court's important affairs. The elder brother of the crown prince stays, and I leave." Li Xian sincerely agreed, turned around, strode out of the study room, and turned back to Lu. The palace didn't mention it.

In the dormitory of Yide Hall, Empress Wu in a green skirt was reclining on the couch, leaning on a thick brocade cushion, resting her cheeks in her hands, staring at the ceiling with half-closed eyes, unmoved by foreign objects However, just as Yan Desheng emerged from behind the screen, Empress Wu's eyes swept over like a knife.

"Your Majesty, there is news. His Royal Highness King Zhou has left the East Palace and is heading to Prince Lu's Mansion. The servants have arranged for people to follow him." As soon as Yan Desheng caught Empress Wu's eyes, Yan Desheng trembled unconsciously, and quickly lowered his head. He raised his head, walked quickly to the couch, bowed his body, and reported the report in a low voice.

"Hmm." Empress Wu glanced at Yan Desheng, said noncommittally, and then closed her eyes, as if she didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, everything is within your expectations. Is the plan still the same?" Yan Desheng waited for a long time, but seeing that Empress Wu never made a statement, he had to ask cautiously.

"Notify, let's start."

After Empress Wu was silent for a moment, she waved her hand irresolutely, and gave an extremely plain order.

"Yes, the slave will arrange it now."

Now that Empress Wu had given the order, Yan Desheng did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly responded, and hurried out of the room, but he did not see Empress Wu behind him, who suddenly opened his eyes, and a murderous aura burst forth Suddenly, the atmosphere in the dormitory became suppressed...
