Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 226 Taking a Long-Term Plan (2)

Li Xian's bloody aura was already strong, but after the bloody slaughter on the plateau, the bloody aura on his body was astonishingly strong. When he lowered his face, the air around him seemed to freeze immediately, even in the scorching sun , It also gives people a feeling of shuddering, Rao Li Xian can be regarded as a courageous person, being rushed by this murderous aura, he couldn't help shivering, and looked at Li Xian in surprise, The resentment in his belly disappeared instantly, leaving only an inexplicable sense of astonishment.

"Seventh, seventh brother, is this a long-term plan? Well, there must be an argument."

As soon as he shivered, Li Xian woke up from the inexplicable rage, he couldn't help being embarrassed, but he was unwilling to bow his head to Li Xian to admit his mistake, so he said resentfully.

"Sixth Brother, just listen to my younger brother. Now that the court situation has become chaotic, dormancy is the most important thing. If you act recklessly without a name, you may be burned yourself. It's not just Sixth Brother, younger brother is also the same." Xian's temperament was annoyed, but after all he didn't want to cause trouble with him. Seeing that Li Xian had bowed his head at this moment, he didn't care about himself, so he sincerely persuaded him.

"The situation in the court is in chaos? Here, where did you start?"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xian was completely stunned, raised his head in a daze, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and asked suspiciously.

"Sixth brother, the royal father returned to Beijing in less than a month, and then came to the East Capital again. Who will accompany you when you leave?"

Regarding Li Xian's slowness, Li Xian really couldn't laugh or cry, he had no choice but to say something vaguely.

"Ah, this, this..."

Li Xian thought about it carefully, and then he realized the true meaning of Gaozong's hasty return to Beijing and his hasty departure - the prince still won the title of supervisor of the country, but half of the six books were taken away. Most of the main officials of Ling and other ministries and departments also drove to Dongdu. Now the capital is only an empty shelf. Obviously, Gaozong's move is by no means aimless, but has a faint meaning of guarding against the prince. In this way, I am afraid that it is not only the reason for the jealousy between father and son, but also the instigation of Empress Wu, and the center of gravity of the court is likely to shift eastward.

"Huh..." Li Xian is not a fool after all. After being surprised for a while, he steadied himself, and after a sigh of relief, he said with a look of surprise on his face: "Seventh brother said that the father is against some people. Are you dissatisfied with your arrogance?"

"It's the queen mother."

Looking at Li Xian's face full of anticipation, Li Xian really couldn't bear to speak out, but in such a situation, Li Xian had no choice but to cruelly break Li Xian's fantasy.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the surprised look on Li Xian's face faded instantly, and after a soft sigh, he frowned tightly, looking like he was in deep thought.

Forget it, if you don't give this guy some hope, maybe this guy will take risks indiscriminately, then the fun will be great!As soon as Li Xian saw Li Xian's dejected look like a child who lost his beloved toy, he couldn't help but have the urge to laugh wildly, but Li Xian was unwilling to lose Li Xian's shield prematurely. , so he could only say with a solemn expression: "Sixth brother, the elder brother of the crown prince has gone too far this time, and the court situation has lost balance. In addition, there is nothing else to do with Dongdu as the center. I would like to warn my ears. I think that at this moment, the elder brother of the prince is very depressed because of it. Fengyun is just right for the prince's brother!"

"Well, what the seventh brother said is reasonable, but, um, it's just that I'm alone now, so what's the future?"

After Li Xian frowned and thought about it, he felt that Li Xian's analysis was quite reasonable, but he was unwilling to be oppressed by the prince so miserably, so he asked a question.

"Sixth brother's words are wrong, but my younger brother thinks that this is a great opportunity for sixth brother to start preparing for the future, so this matter falls on the word 'imperial examination'. Counting the time, next year it should be the big competition again. The time is up, if the sixth brother can win the position of chief examiner, there will be countless disciples under his seat, so why worry about no one to use? Moreover, in my younger brother's opinion, the empress mother's move to the court by force is beyond the capabilities of the prince's elder brother The limit of tolerance is bound to be a big fight, if the prince brother wins, it's fine, if he loses..." Li Xian analyzed the court situation in detail, but he stopped in the middle of the sentence, and just let out a long sigh with a solemn expression.

"Ok?"

Hearing Li Xian's choice of words so clearly, Li Xian was overjoyed at first, and then surprised - he was overjoyed that the crown prince was obviously unable to fight the empress Wu, so he was very likely to be deposed. He arrived, and what was surprising was that if he came to power in the future, he would also have to face the great mountain of Empress Wu, and he would inevitably suffer the same fate as a prince. Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't be happier.

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, no matter when and where, my younger brother will definitely support Sixth Brother. At this moment, Sixth Brother just needs to go steadily and win the position of examiner, and the rest can be ignored." Li Xian saw Li Xian's concerns at a glance, and secretly sighed in his heart, but in his mouth, he vowed to encourage him.

"To be able to get the help of the seventh brother is really a blessing for the brother. Alas, if the former brother had listened to the words of the seventh brother, why did he come to this? Forget it, forget it, and just do everything according to the words of the seventh brother." " Thinking of Li Xian's advice and suggestions several times for himself, Li Xian was very moved, and did not have the slightest doubt about Li Xian's guarantee, so he nodded cautiously and agreed to Li Xian's suggestion.

"Brother Six, take care, I have to go to Dongdu, so I won't stay any longer."

The reason why Li Xian asked Li Xian to have a half-way talk this time was because he was afraid that Li Xian would act indiscriminately, seeing that Li Xian had already untied his knots, he didn't want to talk any more, so he said goodbye road.

"Well, I don't know when the seventh brother will be able to return? I am alone in Beijing, and I miss it very much."

Although Li Xian was reluctant to leave Li Xian, but he had an imperial purpose, he had no choice but to look at Li Xian helplessly, and said sadly.

When can I go back?Li Xian couldn't answer this question himself. It wasn't that Li Xian didn't want to go back to the capital, but that Empress Wu would definitely not let Li Xian go back to the capital easily. After seeing Li Xian's ability in military strategy, it is impossible to let Li Xian go easily. At least before the prince falls, Li Xian will not want to leave. Xian knew, facing Li Xian's expectant eyes, Li Xian could only smile wryly and said: "Father Huang Shengming, there will be a decision, sixth brother, take care, younger brother is gone." Taking the opportunity to hold back, he bowed and saluted, and strode towards the convoy waiting in the distance.

"Seventh brother, take care, I look forward to my return in Beijing for my brother!"

Li Xian didn't expect Li Xian to leave as soon as he said he would, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After waking up, he saw that the convoy had started slowly, walked a few steps hurriedly, and then stopped reservedly. He kicked his feet, waved to Li Xian who rode his horse and stood on the side of the convoy, and said with a sob in his voice.

"Sixth brother, let's go back, little brother is leaving." Li Xian bowed slightly on his horse, bowed his hands in salute, then waved his hands, and ordered loudly: "Let's go!" Accelerate, and roll away to the east... "What's the matter?"

In the study room of the Xiande Palace, the Prince Li Hongduan in a bright yellow single robe sat behind several sons, discussing government affairs in a low voice with the right chancellor and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Yan Liben, the Minister of the Huangmen, and Zhang Wenguan, a political adviser. The principal, Wang Dequan, came in tiptoely, hesitant to speak, Li Hong frowned involuntarily, and said with displeasure.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Lu went to Lantian today. According to investigations, he had a private meeting with His Royal Highness King Ying. They talked for a long time, and the details are unknown."

Seeing Li Hong's displeasure, Wang Dequan didn't dare to neglect, but he didn't open his mouth immediately. Instead, he took a peek at Yan and Zhang. Seeing that Li Hong didn't express anything else, he didn't seem to shy away from their presence. Only then bowed his body and rushed to report.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Upon hearing that the two kings met in private, Li Hong immediately frowned a little deeper, tapping his fingers unconsciously. After thinking for a long time, he gave Yan Liben a sidelong glance. , pondered and said: "Yan Xiang, in your opinion, that seventh younger brother of this palace is planning to do something again?"

"It's hard to say, but according to the old minister, His Royal Highness the King of England may not be harmful to His Highness, but His Royal Highness Lu, maybe there may be waves." Yan Liben knew that the prince had an outstanding military exploit in his heart. Li Xian already had a deep sense of precaution, his heart sank involuntarily, fearing that the crown prince would provoke Li Xian indiscriminately at such a time, he hurriedly spoke out to explain it.

"Well, what does Prime Minister Zhang think about this?"

Li Hong didn't comment on Yan Liben's answer, but turned his head to the taciturn Zhang Wenguan, and asked a question after consideration.

"His Royal Highness is wise, and the veteran has no objection."

Zhang Wenguan is an upright person. Although he is close to the prince, he is not from the prince's lineage. He does not want to participate in the prince's game of seizing the heir. At this time, he heard the prince's question, and he could not answer it, so he simply came here. A prevarication remark that didn't answer the question, immediately shut his mouth tightly, as if he refused to speak.

"Shengming? Hehe, what a sage. I can't afford this sage. That's all. Zhang Xiang doesn't want to say it, and I don't force it. If the sixth brother likes to make trouble, let him do it. I just want to see him." How long will it last, Dequan, go to the warehouse to pick up some useful things, and send them back to Luoyang, as a gift for the seventh brother's wedding." Li Hong obviously had some calculations in his mind, and he didn't care about Zhang Wenguan Prevaricating words, he waved his hand indifferently, and gave Wang Dequan a command, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth...
