Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 304 Two Conditions
"The old man is nothing more than a dying old man, and worrying about those thoughts can be very useful. Hehe, it's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. Hey, it's rare for His Highness to be so well-behaved that he can tolerate all kinds of abuse by the old man. It must be a big picture , It's a pity, the old man is already waiting to be killed, and he has no power, so His Highness will be disappointed and return home."

Yan Liben babbled and cried and scolded for a long time, finally calmed down, and seeing Li Xianyu standing in front of the couch calmly, completely alone, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he sneered and put his gun on his belt. He made a great mockery of Li Xian.

"It doesn't matter that Yan Xiang disappointed Xiaowang, as long as the prince's elder brother is in the spirit of heaven, he will not be disappointed."

Li Xian has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. When it comes to eloquence, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can argue with Li Xian. Now seeing Yan Liben has vented enough, Li Xianzi is not satisfied. No matter how polite he was, he laughed and replied in a nonchalant manner, and immediately choked Yan Liben so hard that Li Xian was a little worried that the old man would go to see the Buddha for good.

"Okay, okay, okay, well said, hehe, the old man is a bit incompetent, he was blinded by the love of His Highness the Crown Prince, and failed to assist His Highness the Crown Prince to achieve a great cause. Your Majesty, just let His Royal Highness kill you, as for Your Royal Highness, please do it yourself, if you follow His Royal Highness’s old path, the old man will be in a coffin, and I’m afraid you will laugh so hard!"

Old Comrade Yan is not easy to mess with. During his decades of official career, he has also trained a good mouthful of steel teeth. In addition, he has already looked away in despair at this time, and he doesn't care about the noble status of Prince Li Xian. Hearing that Li Xian opened his mouth to sarcasm, he laughed angrily, and counterattacked unceremoniously.

"Yan Xiang is afraid that he will be disappointed. Gu has no plans to seek the throne of the Eastern Palace at this time."

Although Yan Liben's words were ugly, Li Xian didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and answered a seemingly irrelevant sentence, but Yan Liben was immediately stunned on the spot.

"really?"

According to Yan Liben's original prediction, Li Xian must have come here to subdue the officials of the former prince's family. It didn't look like he was lying, so Yan Liben couldn't help being a little confused. After being stunned for a while, he finally came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Wang never speaks falsehood."

This is the fact, it's just these two days, all the actions will be in the open, and Li Xianzi has nothing to hide, so he replied with a smile.

"Then what is your highness doing? I don't know, so I ask your highness to enlighten me."

Yan Liben really couldn't understand Li Xian's intentions. He frowned and thought for a while, but still got nothing.

"Xiao Wang's picture is nothing more than what Yan Xiang thinks about, nothing more."

Li Xian suppressed the smile on his face, turned serious, and replied coldly, then closed his mouth tightly, just looked at Yan Liben quietly, and let him figure out the mystery inside.

"No picture at this time? Hehe, it's a good time not to draw a picture at this time, what about it? Your Highness is very calculating, I admire, admire!"

Yan Li is naturally not a simple person from an official to a prime minister. When he thought about these few words of Li Xian carefully, he immediately understood the key mystery of it. He sneered nonchalantly.

"It's good that Prime Minister Yan understands. To deal with an extraordinary enemy requires extraordinary means. Otherwise, the Queen Wang, the eldest grandson, the Lord Shangguan, and even today's elder brother of the crown prince will be the role models for Xiao Wang in the future." Li Xian didn't agree Concerned about Yan Liben's attitude, he just stated calmly.

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, hehe, Your Highness has a lot of gaps in his chest, and the old man can't do it. It's a pity, if His Highness the Crown Prince has His Highness to help, it won't be... Sigh!"

Li Xian's political skill is brilliant, Yan Liben has already experienced it. Hearing Li Xian speak so frankly at this time, it was obvious that he was not dealing with empty words. The dead prince suddenly couldn't help feeling sad, he let out a long sigh, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Everyone has selfishness, and Xiao Wang is no exception!"

Looking at Yan Liben who was crying bitterly, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. To be honest, the reason why Li Xian chose to help Li Xian instead of Li Hong was that Li Xian was easier to control, but in fact The deep-seated reason is that Li Xian also has ambitions, even though he himself does not want to admit it, but the fact is that, of course, Li Xian does not regret his original decision, if there is a chance to start again, Li Xian still will not Changing his original intention, seeing that Yan Liben was so sad, Li Xian really couldn't bear to say those unnutritious nonsense to comfort this old man who had died soon, so he pondered for a while, and told the truth.

"Selfishness? Hehe, what a selfishness, His Highness is so frank, isn't it afraid that the old man will spread the word?"

Hearing that Li Xian had selfish intentions, Yan Liben couldn't help being taken aback, then looked at Li Xian with great interest, smiled coldly, and asked threateningly.

"Xiao Wang believes that Prime Minister Yan will not be so confused. The spirit of the prince's elder brother is not far away. Maybe he is watching from the sky at this moment."

Li Xian dared to come to Yan's Mansion as a lobbyist, so he naturally had confidence, and he was not worried that Yan Liben would ruin his own affairs. This was certainly due to Li Xian's understanding of Yan Liben's personality, and it was also his absolute confidence in his own strength—— With Luo Tong and a large group of dark forces at the bottom, it is not too difficult to kill someone or kill someone. Such a job is not only done by Empress Wu, but Li Xian can also do it smoothly, and it will only be stronger , definitely not worse.

"Your Highness, you don't need to beat around the bush anymore. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. What exactly do you want me to do?"

The death of the crown prince was a thorn in Yan Liben's heart. Hearing that Li Xian had brought up the death of the crown prince, Yan Liben's expression immediately changed, and he gave Li Xian an incomparably livid stare, but at the end of the day, he did not He got mad at this, but drooped his face, and opened his mouth very bluntly.

"It's easy to say, Xiao Wang only needs Prime Minister Yan to protect his capital, and it is enough for His Royal Highness King Lu to enter the East Palace."

Li Xian didn't want to go around too much, so he bowed his hands solemnly and calmly made a condition.

"That's it?"

Yan Liben knew that Li Xian wanted to protect King Lu, so he didn't think it was surprising, but in Yan Liben's view, Li Xian was probably here to subdue the officials of the former prince's family, so Li Xian didn't say anything Not mentioning this matter made Yan Liben unavoidably suspicious. After pondering for a moment, he finally spit out two words through his teeth.

"That's right, that's enough." Li Xian nodded, and his answer was unambiguous, but after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked with a sly smile: "Of course, Yan Xiangruo is willing to help Gu and other people Say a few more good words, and Xiao Wang will be more than happy."

"Oh? Hahaha... Well, a few good words, Your Highness is brilliant, the old man has to obey, anyway, as the saying goes, people who are about to die, their words are also good, before the old man goes to see His Highness the Crown Prince, he will help if he can It’s just that I’m old but I can’t help in vain. There are two conditions, so I don’t know if His Highness will accept it?” Yan Liben was amused by Li Xian’s words and laughed, his face was extremely ruddy, and he didn’t look like a dying patient at all. After only one turn, he already assumed the posture of haggling with Li Xian.

"President Yan, please tell me, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, there is no reason why he will not allow it."

Li Xian only looked at Yan Liben's appearance, and knew that Yan Liben was really at the end of his life. The radiance of glory at this time was just a flashback. He just replied with a serious face.

"It's so good. The old man's bloodline is weak. Up to now, there is only a single seedling like Zhiwei left. The old man knows it very well. This son is really not a talented person. He is just an ordinary person. The old man does not want to be prominent. Yu Chaotang, I only hope that he can spend his life in peace, if he can open up branches and leaves for my Yan family, that will be enough, I wonder if His Highness may accept it?"

Yan Liben stroked his long beard on his chest, pondered for a while, and made the first condition, although it meant Tuogu, but it vaguely expressed in his words that he did not want Yan Zhiwei to be dragged into the court battle wishes.

"Yan Xiang, don't worry, I know what to do, and I will definitely not let brother Zhiwei do anything unexpected. I don't dare to say anything, and I can still be rich and rich for a lifetime."

The unfinished words in Yan Liben's words were clear to Li Xian, without ambiguity, and he gave a guarantee directly.

"That's good. You can trust what His Highness said. Hehe, I didn't expect Yan Mou to be honest and self-proclaimed. When he was dying, he still couldn't let go of the affairs behind him. His Highness laughed at him." The family seeks personal gain, but when they are old, they speak out for the sake of the only grandson, which is quite threatening, and it is unavoidable to be a little outrageous. Hearing that Li Xian agreed very simply, feeling ashamed in his heart, the old man blushed a few words at himself, Immediately, he changed the subject: "As for the second thing, I'm about to die, I'm afraid I won't be able to see His Highness's ascension to the sky. If there is such a day, I hope His Highness can treat the people of the world well. If so, I will be a dead bone." Even if you are dead, you can smile at Jiuquan."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Yan, Gu Gu is here to swear that if there is a day, Gu will try his best to make the people healthy, provide for the elderly, and educate the young. If you violate this oath, Gu Gu will die a good death!"

When Li Xian heard that Yan Liben's second request was to plead for the people's life, he couldn't help feeling hot in his heart. He was deeply moved by Yan Liben's kindness, and he didn't hesitate, so he raised his hand and sent it out unequivocally. took the oath.

"Your Highness said, I can trust you, that's all, Your Highness, please go back, I will take care of all matters for Your Highness."

Yan Liben's mind was over, his whole body immediately relaxed, his ruddy face turned gray in an instant, he gasped a few times, waved his hands weakly, and issued the order to evict the guest.

"Take care, Prime Minister Yan, Xiao Wang bids farewell."

The matter was settled, and Li Xian didn't want to stay any longer. After all, his body, which hadn't rested well for several days, couldn't bear it any longer, so he bowed deeply to Yan Liben who was on the sickbed, and then turned around with his head He walked out of the room without looking back, but the corners of his eyes became moist involuntarily.
