Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 277

This day has finally come. Although Li Xian had predicted that such a situation would happen as early as when He Lanmin's case was presided over, when the situation that everyone criticized really appeared, Li Xian I still couldn't help feeling depressed and anxious, but Li Xian never regretted it. Even if there was a chance to start over, Li Xian would definitely not have the slightest plan to change course. Everything was for one thing, That is the old villain who defeated Empress Wu.

It's true that you won't regret it if you regret it, but if you don't regret it in the future, it's all a matter of idealism, and it really can't be used to solve the current predicament you are facing. This is something Li Xian knows very well- ——With the defeat of Empress Wu, the prince has already lost power to the government and the public. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant, and there is no more in his eyes. Perhaps deep in his heart, he no longer regards Empress Wu as the biggest threat, but to Li Xian The two brothers, Li Xian and Li Xian, started to fight against each other. Otherwise, they would not have brought up the nonsense of "the barrier of the country". Obviously, it is impossible to expect the prince to be merciful. As for Empress Wu, the attitude It's ambiguous enough. Although he didn't express his position clearly, he was secretly fueling the flames. He was playing the trick of killing people with a knife. When such a double-sided attack occurs, there is really not much room for Li Xian to maneuver. How should he deal with it? This game became a difficult problem for Li Xian.

Headache, headache really hurts. Li Xian kept a low profile some time ago to avoid the worst situation. The idea is undoubtedly good, but the reality is cruel. Facing the impatience of the crown prince, Li Xian It is obvious that there is some helplessness, and more of a deep worry - Empress Wu's inaction or secret connivance only shows one thing, that is, Empress Wu has made up her mind to get rid of the prince, and the action is imminent, perhaps As soon as Li Xian and the others go to the feudal domain, the crown prince's death will come soon, and this is obviously not a result that Li Xian is willing to accept, probably because if the crown prince dies suddenly and all the princes are away, it will only be Empress Wu who will get the advantage, even if Because of this, Li Xian entered the East Palace, and under the unstable foundation, it is absolutely difficult to curb Empress Wu's ambition, and the situation may deteriorate to an unimaginable level.

"His Royal Highness, Zhang Che and Eunuch Zhang are here, and they said that His Royal Highness King Lu has prepared a banquet, and they are waiting for His Highness to go and have a drink."

When Li Xian was meditating alone, Gao Miao walked into the study on tiptoe, cautiously approached Li Xian, and reported in a low voice.

"When I came back, I said I was tired and didn't want to move."

Li Xian was upset, when he heard the word "Happy Drink", he became a little angry, he didn't even bother to raise his head, raised his hand, and snorted impatiently.

"Yes, slaves obey."

Gao Miao didn't know why Li Xian was bothered at all, but when he saw Li Xian's expression was not right, he didn't dare to say more, he responded cautiously, took three steps back, turned around and was about to go out.

"slow!"

Before Gao Miao came to the screen, Li Xian had changed his mind, got up abruptly, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps with his head down, then glanced at Gao Miao who had retreated to the side, bit his lips and said: "Go back and tell me that I'm lonely and tired, so I'll put off the drinking until evening. If there's anything else, go and invite Mr. Di, let's go."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Gao Miao didn't ask the reason, but bowed to the promise, left the study, and went to handle the things Li Xian told him without mentioning it... "Your Majesty has seen His Highness."

Di Renjie arrived very quickly. Not long after Gao Miao left, Di Renjie had already entered the study. When he saw Li Xian who was resting his chin in thought, Di Renjie was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then walked forward with a smile , greeted with great courtesy.

"Mr. Di is here, please sit down."

Hearing the noise, Li Xian looked up and saw that Di Renjie had arrived. He raised his eyebrows, smiled and made a "please" gesture, signaling Di Renjie to sit opposite him.

"Your Highness seems to be thinking a lot, but I don't know what made His Highness so difficult?"

Di Renjie didn't show any courtesy to Li Xian. After thanking him, he lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, looked at Li Xian meaningfully, stroked his long beard on his chest, and asked a question with a smile. road.

"Well, it's really what Mr. Di said. Gu is suffering from a severe headache at this moment. Mr. Di will help Gu think about it and see how to deal with it properly. Well, this matter has to be discussed in today's polo match. get up……"

Li Xian always employs people without suspicion, and suspects don't use them. Since he has chosen Di Renjie as his adviser, there is nothing to say, except that the affair between Empress Wu and Ming Chongyan is too sensational, and it is difficult to say it. All the rest of the matter are all spoken, even what I think is not concealed in the slightest.

"Well, that's what it is."

Although Di Renjie has now been promoted to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he can barely be regarded as a member of the imperial court, but he is not qualified to accompany him in the car - although Di Renjie is also present at today's polo match, but he is with everyone The courtiers stayed in a colorful shed next to the emperor's car to watch the game, and they didn't know anything about the strange things that happened in the attic. It was also extremely difficult, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and dullness.Seeing this, Li Xian's heart sank a bit, but he didn't rush to ask what happened. He just sat silently, waiting for Di Renjie to give his opinion.

"Things are a little difficult, but it's not impossible. It depends on what kind of results His Highness wants."

Di Renjie pondered for a long time, then nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows, and laughed.

"Oh? Duke Di means..."

Seeing that Di Renjie seemed to have made up his mind, Li Xianzheng immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Your Majesty, Di believes that the key to this matter has to be on His Majesty's mind. If His Majesty has an accident, then he might as well argue with the Crown Prince in court, and he can get what he wants. If not, His Majesty There is only one option—wait!" Di Renjie didn't hold back, and gave two answers straightforwardly.

"Oh? Wait?"

Although Li Xian had always been smart and calculating, he couldn't make up his mind at this moment. He stared at Di Renjie blankly, his eyes full of doubts.

"That's right. Di thought that it's the best policy to wait and see how things change in this situation. His Highness has been ill for more than a month, but it's not a few days away. It's better to rest for a few more days. It's about time before the next morning. There are still seven days left, Your Highness just sit back and watch the wind and clouds calm down."

Di Renjie was a cautious person, and the matter involved the emperor's mind. He didn't want to explain the matter too clearly, but just mentioned a few words lightly, leaving some blank space, and let Li Xian figure it out by himself.

"Well, Xiao Wang understands, Mr. Di is really the son of the orphan, okay, he hurt himself from playing ball, he should be sick for a few days, hahaha..." Li Xian is not an ordinary person after all, carefully After thinking about it, I understood the meaning hidden in Di Renjie's words, and the knot in my heart was solved in an instant... The prince's status is noble, but if he goes to the feudal clan, it is a bit worthless. The princes of the feudal clan, unless the prince died early, or received a report of misconduct from the princes of the feudal clan, otherwise, the princes in the court would probably not save the princes of the feudal clan who had already passed away. No matter how virtuous and capable the prince was in the court, it was all in vain. This is the unique characteristic of the enfeoffment system. There is no doubt that the prince intends to let the two adult princes, Li Xian and Li Xian, go to the court. Being an apartment will save you from dangling in the court all day, which is not a good idea, but it is difficult to realize it. Even though Li Hong thinks that he has basically controlled the court, he still dare not say anything He was certain of victory, but, faced with the temptation to monopolize Chao Gang, Li Hong didn't want to wait any longer. As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he summoned Yan Liben and Le Yanwei, two confidants, into the study of the East Palace alone. There was an urgent secret discussion.

"Yan Xiang, Le Xiang, you have all seen what happened today. The two younger brothers in this palace are all energetic people, and there are not many affairs in the court. The talents of the two virtuous kings are idle. Gong couldn't bear it very much. In Yigu's opinion, it might not be good to add some burdens. Firstly, it can be used by others, and secondly, it can benefit the people of one side. It is a matter of mutual compatibility. I don't know what the two lovers have to say about this Do you have an opinion?" Just like Li Xian trusted Di Renjie, Li Hong also trusted Yan and Le, and did not hide his thoughts at all. As soon as Bu sat down, he explained the purpose of the summoning come out.

"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for speaking bluntly. This matter is so important that you must not act blindly. If there is a slight mistake, the disaster will be serious. Be careful, be careful."

Yan and Le are both present today, so they will not be unclear about Li Hong's thoughts, and they know that if this matter can really be accomplished, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Li Hong's monopoly on the court. It's a good thing, but both of them are old in the officialdom, they have seen a lot of strife in the court, and they don't think this matter will go smoothly, so at the polo match, the two of them didn't rashly speak in line with Li Hong's opinion, Of course, it is even more impossible to refute on the spot, but each of them repeatedly calculated the possibility of this matter in their hearts, but the answer they got was not as optimistic as Li Hong thought. Originally, the two of them were still thinking of finding opportunities in private. After admonishing this matter, seeing that Li Hong couldn't wait to reveal the matter now, although it was just a question, in fact, his mind was already made up on the whole, the two couldn't help being a little flustered by surprise, and looked at each other After a glance, Yan Liben opened his mouth first, and cautiously remonstrated.

"Yan Xiang is very worried. Guzi will act cautiously. However, it seems even less advisable to give up food because of choking. Sooner or later, things should come to an end. In Yigu's opinion, it is better to hurry than to be late. Both of you What can Ai Qing teach me?" Li Hong echoed with humility, and then changed the subject, skipping the question of whether it should be done or not, and asked how to go about it. , Yan and Le couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. They didn't know what to plan for a while, so they all shut their mouths tightly and meditated silently...
