Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 243 If you want to play, play it big (2)

When dealing with people, Li Xian has never liked to put on airs, especially when facing his two elder brothers, he has never lacked in etiquette. However, at such delicate moments, Li Xian has to put on a show The reason for the hypocrisy of rejecting people thousands of miles away is very simple to put it bluntly, but it is just a matter of initiative - considering the current situation, the case of He Lanmin will definitely detonate a court storm, but It's just the difference between large and small scale. Unfortunately, Li Xian himself is on the cusp of the storm. If he is a little careless, he will end up in doom. However, Li Xian must fully mobilize the forces of all parties, so that the forces of all parties will revolve around him, instead of trying to please many parties. This is a fundamental principle.

"Seventh brother, do you have any confessions from father and mother?"

Compared to the calmness of the other princes, Li Xian is obviously the most restless one. Li Xian has just returned home, and he didn't even have time to rest. , as soon as he saw Li Xian's face, he immediately asked questions in a hurry.

"Well, Sixth Brother, let's talk in the room, please!"

Regarding Li Xian's impatience, Li Xian knew it very well, probably because this guy is basically a naked commander now, and urgently needs an opportunity to turn the tables, otherwise, it is very likely that he will be completely marginalized and make trouble It's not impossible to be subjugated again. Under such pressure, Li Xian's anxiety is understandable. Of course, considering the overall situation, Li Xian doesn't want Li Xian to be marginalized. No matter how good this "shield" is, Li Xian is still reluctant to let go of it for the time being, but no matter what, such important court affairs can't be discussed freely at the gate where there are so many people talking. , Li Xian could only smile, made a "please" gesture, let Li Xian into the gate of the mansion, and walked side by side into the study in the backyard almost speechlessly.

"Seventh brother, what is the situation? Brother Wei is dying of anxiety. Alas, this case is difficult. Brother Seven should not be the presiding judge. If something goes wrong, how should Brother Wei deal with it?"

Li Xian was really in a hurry, most of the reason was that he cared about his own interests, but he also wanted to help Li Xian. After all, Li Xian was the only one he could rely on right now. If Li Xian fell down because of this case, Li Xian would really have nothing to play with. In addition, Li Xian is not a person who is good at hiding his feelings, so the anxiety is all on his face, no, he has no ass Sit still, words came out one after another.

"Sixth Brother, don't worry. Although the matter is a bit tricky, my younger brother can handle it. Sixth Brother can just prepare the papers for next spring's chief examination first, and leave the rest to my younger brother." Li Xian had already made up his mind. Seeing that Li Xianhou was in a hurry, he secretly laughed in his heart, and was not in a hurry to answer Li Xian's question. He picked up the tea bowl, gestured to Li Xian, and then took a sip. , took a leisurely sip of tea.

"Well, that's right, with the ability of the seventh brother, there should be no danger, but this fact is no small matter. If you let that guy get the benefits for nothing, wouldn't it be just taking millet out of the fire, and this matter must be carefully considered. After getting along for so many years, Li Xian has great confidence in Li Xianzhi's ability. Now seeing Li Xian's calm and composed appearance, his nervous mood eased a little, but when he thought of the prince who might benefit from it, his heart immediately became angry Then there was some injustice again.

"Well, what the sixth brother said is true. My younger brother was summoned by the emperor this time, but the mother let go, and gave my younger brother five days to close the case..." Li Xian didn't intend to hide it from Li Xian, so he put the tea bowl on the table. On the table, he said calmly.

"What? Five days? Are you kidding me? How can such a big case be tried in five days? It really doesn't make sense!"

Li Xian was impatient, and as soon as the time limit for hearing the case was only five days, he immediately became impatient. Before Li Xian could finish speaking, he started yelling bluffingly, showing a look of exasperation.

"The time is a bit short, but it's enough. The emperor has confessed that he can finish it early next time." Li Xian didn't care about Li Xian's violent jump at all, and glanced at him calmly. , continued calmly.

"That's only seven days. Hey, the queen mother is planning to close the case hastily. That's right. Those impeached are all from the queen mother. How can the queen mother not be in a hurry? It's just that this matter is not for the seventh brother. It's not fair."

Li Xian is intelligent by nature, and after a few words, he guessed the intention of Empress Wu's move, and couldn't help feeling a little contradictory for a while-although Li Xian also hated Empress Wu's meddling in politics, but all along, mother and child The two never had a sharp conflict, but fought countless times with the crown prince. From the bottom of his heart, Li Xian would rather see the crown prince unlucky than gain power, but because Li Xian has always been incompatible with Empress Wu. For the sake of dealing with it, Li Xian didn't dare to reveal his true thoughts, so he could only talk about the facts.

fair?That thing sounds good, but it's a pity that it doesn't exist in Tian's family. This guy is full of nonsense, but he just hopes that the prince will fall, so he is so good!Li Xian is such a shrewd person, just hearing Li Xian's tone, he immediately guessed the little scheme in his heart, but he didn't bother to say it, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and returned calmly. One sentence said: "For my younger brother, this case is nothing more than a tasteless case. It doesn't matter whether it is proven or not, but it is not the same for the elder brother of the prince. The younger brother expects that the elder brother of the prince will come to the door sooner or later. Maybe there is no certainty. The so-called loss of the east corner and harvest of mulberry elm is not unfair."

"Well, that's true, it's just... well, whatever, it's fine for the seventh brother to make up his mind."

Although Li Xian's words are understated, they are unquestionably firm inside. This is telling Li Xian that the cooperation with the prince this time is an established policy and must not be changed. Although Li Xian is slightly displeased, it is not good No matter how much he said, he could only shake his head and withdraw his thoughts of trying to persuade Li Xian.

"Report to Your Highness, the imperial decree has arrived."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao rushed in from behind the screen, bowed to the two elder brothers, and hastened to report, but the expression on his face revealed a strange meaning.

"Ok?"

Li Xian had sharp eyes, seeing that Gao Miao's expression was a little off, he immediately frowned slightly, and let out a slight displeasure.

"His Royal Highness, it is His Royal Highness King Yin who is here to deliver the decree."

Seeing Li Xian's unhappy expression, Gao Miao explained in a hurry.

The old man came to pass the decree, which is obviously not in accordance with the etiquette, what kind of plane!When Li Xian heard that it was Li Xulun who came to deliver the decree, he couldn't help being taken aback. Even though he had a faint guess of Li Xulun's intention, he didn't say anything. He just stood up unhurriedly, straightened his clothes casually, Looking at Li Xian with a smile, he said: "Brother Six, Xiao Ba finally came here, why don't we meet together?"

"No, the seventh brother should go and get busy on his own. I will go through the back door for my brother, so I won't participate much."

Li Xian and Li Xulun are very different in age, and they basically have no contact with each other. Although it is a little strange why Li Xulun came to pass the decree, it must be known that the elders and young are orderly, and there is no reason for the younger brother to pass the decree to the older brother, but they did not go deep Li Li thought that he was really too lazy to kneel outside the mansion gate, so he stood up, stretched himself, and answered casually.

"That's good, brother six, please do your own thing, little brother will deal with it first."

Li Xian just asked politely, originally he didn't intend to go with Li Xian to receive the order, seeing what Li Xian said, he would not force him, so he nodded, confessed something, and then strode towards Walked in the direction of the mansion... "The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: The King of England is both virtuous and capable. He has worked as a counselor before, and later has the merit of breaking the captives. All actions are in line with my wishes. Now there is Xiao Xiao, the supervisory censor. The case of impeachment of Lantai Taishi Ling Wumin in the Ming Dynasty involved relatives of the state, and there was a dispute between the two parties, so it was decided not to go down. The king Xian of Ying was specially ordered to be the presiding judge, and Hou Shanye, the Minister of Dali Temple, and Liu Yi in the matter were co-organized to investigate and deal with it quickly, so as to ensure no harm. In vain, there is a time limit of five days for trial, hereby!"

Li Xu's turn was quite sudden, but, these years, the Royal Palace has received orders very smoothly, so it will not be messed up because of this. It took only half a stick of incense before and after, before Li Xian greeted him out of the gate, those people The incense case, incense sticks and other necessary things for receiving the decree are all ready. Once Li Xian arrives, the trick of receiving the decree can be staged. He proclaimed in a childish voice, but he had the style of an imperial envoy.

"My son and minister take the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The time limit stipulated in this decree is five days, Li Xian couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and scorned Empress Wu severely, but this time was not a time to complain, it could only be behaved Thank you so much.

"Seventh brother, please accept the order."

Driving in Luoyang these years, Li Xulun has often been ordered by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu to run errands, and it is not the first time to pass on an edict, but it is the first time to pass on an edict to his elder brother, so I feel a little uneasy. It read smoothly, but under the sweat, his whole body was as wet as if he was fished out of the water. Seeing that the matter was finally dealt with, Li Xulun was relieved, and before Li Xian got up, he He hurriedly walked over and handed the imperial decree in his hand to Li Xian.

"The eighth brother is here."

Li Xianming knew that Li Xulun came here not only to proclaim the decree, but he didn't want to follow through with it easily, so he thanked him and took the imperial decree with both hands, but he never asked him to enter the mansion to rest.

"Seventh Brother..."

Seeing that Li Xian did not express anything else after receiving the order, Li Xulun couldn't help feeling a little anxious, calling pitifully, as if hesitating to speak.

"Eighth brother, is there anything else?"

Li Xian pretended to be suspicious and looked at Li Xulun, and asked knowingly.

"Ah."

Facing his idol all the time, Li Xulun was really unwilling to say such a thing, but when he thought of Empress Wu's warning, Li Xulun had no choice but to nod his head, blushing and let out a cry.

"Oh, well, let's talk in the room."

Li Xian didn't make Li Xulun difficult, he stretched out his hand to pat Li Xulun's shoulder with a smile, and gave an affirmative answer.

"Hey."

Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xulun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and followed Li Xian into the gate of the palace...
