Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 262 Calculating and Calculating

"Seventh brother, what kind of play are you singing?"

The fact that a good examiner position was wiped out like this made Li Xian very depressed, but compared to the confusion in his heart, this depression is really not a big deal, and he never hides it in his heart. Li Xian, who lived in the house, got into Li Xian's carriage immediately after stepping into the court. He couldn't even sit on his buttocks, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"What does Brother Six think?"

Although the progress of the court meeting was slightly different from what was expected, it was still under control. Li Xian was in a good mood. Seeing Li Xian's impatience, he couldn't help being amused and wicked. Then he shrugged his shoulders and asked nonchalantly.

"Seventh brother, don't make trouble. My heart is very confused. This case will go on like this. When will it end? Does seventh brother have any schemes?" Li Xian really couldn't understand Li Xian. What was the plan, but what he was more worried about was that the prince would use this case to cover up the sky, but he couldn't express his thoughts directly in front of Li Xian, so he could only try around the bush.

This kid only has the crown prince's throne in his eyes, he is really short-sighted!Li Xian is such a shrewd person, how can he not know what Li Xian's true thoughts are, but he doesn't bother to tell the truth, the people around him are just such a person, no matter how much they talk, it's useless, on the contrary, it's troublesome, helpless Apart from that, Li Xian could only scorn Li Xian fiercely in his heart, and said casually: "Sixth brother, in your opinion, is the courtier involved in the case worthy of capital punishment?"

"This... shouldn't be allowed. According to the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", being exiled for three thousand miles is already the heaviest punishment. Why? Could it be that the seventh brother wants to... No, once such things happen, the seventh brother will be judged. It is inevitable that you will be impeached, and you must not be so Meng Lang!" Li Xian didn't care at first, and replied hesitantly, but suddenly thought of a possibility, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him. up.

"Sixth brother misunderstood, how could my younger brother be a reckless person, although those gangsters deserve to die, but without any real evidence, my younger brother will not act blindly, and I will definitely not do it if I ask for boring things, younger brother here There is still a brochure, please take a look at it." Li Xian laughed, took out a brochure that had been covered with yellow silk from his loose sleeve, and handed it to Li Xian.

"Oh?"

Li Xian reached out to accept the memorial curiously, opened it, and saw that it was the verdict of He Lanmin's case, except that He Lanmin, the main culprit, was abolished from the title of Zhou Guogong, confiscated his family property, and had intercourse with his toes. , the rest of the Beimen scholars involved in the case were all demoted from the capital to serve as local minor officials, and all the officials involved in the case in Dali Temple were all sent to serve in the Anxi Army. There is nothing strange about it.

"Seventh brother, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It seems that there is nothing out of the ordinary in this case. I think all parties can accept it. Even if the mother is dissatisfied, it will be difficult to pick out the thorns, but I don't know seven. Why didn’t my younger brother just write the book in the early court today, but made so many twists and turns, I don’t understand it, so I ask my seventh brother to enlighten me.” Li Xian understood everything about the memorial, but the doubts in his heart not only didn’t lessen, but on the contrary He was even more confused, and really couldn't understand why Li Xian made such a simple matter so complicated and tortuous, so he asked deeply.

Tsk tsk, I can't even figure it out, you old Bai has grown up so big, you really are not a political material!Although he knew for a long time that Li Xian had limited attainments in the art of scheming, Li Xian couldn't help but slander him when he saw that he was so slow. He smiled and explained: "So that the sixth brother can know that there are three meanings in this younger brother's move. First, the younger brother only has Wu Minzhi's statement in his hand, and there is no statement from the ministers involved in the case. The younger brother doesn’t want to do it, because there is not enough time to act. If the sentence is submitted in court, all the officials will definitely complain on the spot. If the queen’s side is covered a little, the matter will not be accomplished. If you don’t die from the snake, you will have endless troubles! , Brother Prince, I'm afraid he doesn't believe in people. If he fulfills his intention too quickly, you and my brother may have to go to work in vain. How can my younger brother do such a thing as making wedding clothes for others? The third thing , the little brother has to give the mother some time to win over the sixth brother."

"Huh? Mother? Me? Well, where does this start?"

Li Xian's strategy is indeed not very good, but he is quite intelligent by nature. He agrees with the first two reasons Li Xian put forward, but when Li Xian's third reason comes out, Li Xian will immediately Dazed, he scratched his head in a daze, and looked at Li Xian with great doubts. He couldn't figure out the reason behind Li Xian's words.

Stupid, really stupid!The words have reached such a point of nonsense, and the master in front of him is still at a loss, which really makes Li Xian not know what to say, so he rolled his eyes helplessly, and managed to suppress the unceasing anger in his heart, Try to explain as calmly as possible: "Sixth brother Mingjian, the case has reached the current stage, the queen mother may still have some thoughts, but, as time goes by, the queen mother will see the facts clearly, so many confidantes have come to see the facts clearly. On the contrary, it is difficult for the queen mother to make great achievements in the court. Even if she wants to make a comeback, I am afraid that it will not be possible for a while. In this way, if she wants to withstand the pressure from the prince's brother, there are only two ways left But let's go, the safest thing is to support the sixth brother and the prince's brother to fight against each other, so as to buy some time to accumulate strength."

"Well, that's true, it's just for the sake of the elder brother and the empress... well, wouldn't it be better to choose the seventh brother?" Li Xian thought for a while, and felt that Li Xian's analysis was quite reasonable, but then he thought about the relationship between himself and Empress Wu. There was always discord between them, and they felt that this matter was unlikely. After pondering for a long while, they still shook their heads uncertainly.

"The queen mother is a shrewd person. If she chooses the younger brother, she will inevitably divide the sixth brother. But if she chooses the sixth brother, how can the younger brother be separated from the sixth brother? How can the mother not understand the fact that this kills two birds with one stone? If the sixth brother fights with the crown prince's elder brother, the queen mother will be able to gain power in the middle, so it's not too difficult to make a comeback, maybe three or five years later, it will be a different situation." Li Xian smiled and said to He came up with an answer, which sounded quite reasonable, but it was not Li Xian's sincere words. As for the real reason, it was simple to say, that is, Li Xian's political IQ was relatively low and he was easy to control. There is a reason why Xian chose to assist Li Xian instead of Li Hong.

"Well, what the seventh brother said is very true, and I know it, hey, the seventh brother only said one way, so what about the second way that the mother may take?" Li Xian has said so bluntly. , Li Xian will not understand, after thinking about it silently, he agreed with Li Xian's analysis, and his mind quickly turned to the second road of Empress Wu's recovery that Li Xian said.

"Is this the second way? Hey, if the queen mother can't pull the sixth brother, then there is only..." Li Xian stopped at this point, and immediately immediately slashed down with his palm like a knife.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

Although Li Xian only wanted to enter the East Palace, he just wanted to defeat Li Hong in the court and replace him. He really didn't expect such a method as "assassination". Yibai, dumbfounded and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"What? Brother Six thinks it's impossible? Don't forget how the mother and daughter of the Korean lady died!"

Li Xian sneered, turned the corner of his mouth, and said something extremely cold.

"Huh..." Li Xian is not an ordinary person after all. After a few tremblings, he quickly regained his composure. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Li Xian seriously and said, "Seventh brother, what do you say?" Come on, what do you want to do for your brother?"

"Sixth brother, don't panic, little brother here is the eight-character mantra. Sixth brother just follow it and do it. It is inevitable to go straight to Qingyun." Li Xian smiled and pretended to be closed.

"Seventh brother, please tell me, just listen carefully to me."

Li Xian had long been convinced of Li Xian's plan. Hearing that Li Xian had made up his mind, he was in a good mood, and hurriedly spoke out to urge him.

"Being submissive, you can have both ways!"

Li Xian didn't say any more nonsense, he suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Li Xian solemnly, and gave out two idioms word by word.

"Brother, I know, um, which way does the seventh brother think the queen mother will choose?"

Li Xian nodded, expressing that he had understood the connotation of Li Xian's words, and his expectation of becoming the master of the East Palace rose to a high level in an instant, and he hoped that Empress Wu would choose the second path. But it's not easy to say it out loud, so it vaguely tested Li Xian's attitude.

Hehe, brothers are used to kill, and friends are used to betray. After all, this guy's skin is not thick enough, and his heart is not cruel enough. He has the heart, but he doesn't have the guts, so cowardly!As soon as Li Xian heard it, he knew what was going on in Li Xian's heart, so he laughed secretly, but he didn't bother to say it, so he stretched his waist without any image and said: "It's hard to say, but it's okay , for Sixth Brother, if he wants to secure his position in the East Palace, it is better to hope that his mother will take the second path later, if not, the Prince's brother may be a lesson for Sixth Brother."

"what……"

As soon as Li Xian said this, it was like a basin of cold water poured over Li Xian's body. The excitement that had just risen immediately turned into a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help shivering, his mouth was almost open Into a big pear.

Damn it, this guy only thinks about beautiful things, but never considers the risks behind the beautiful things, he is really a dead wood!Li Xian glanced at Li Xian, didn't bother to explain any more, and simply closed his eyes, as if he was in a calm state, ignoring Li Xian's blushing, white and silly faces...
