Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 320 The Preliminary Disturbance (1)

On March 24th of the third year of Xianheng, when Li was in the center, it was appropriate to marry, lay a foundation, and perform ceremonies. Lu Wang Li Xian ascended the throne as the prince in the Juxian Hall of the East Palace; He also presided over the palace examination on behalf of the emperor on March [-], and two hundred Jinshi were selected. The champion was Wang Jun, a [-]-year-old Chang'an candidate, Xie Sheng, a Shanxi candidate, and Zhang Jianzhi, an old scholar from Xiangfan, Jingzhou. They all entered the East Palace as officials, but Zhang Jianzhi declined the prince's invitation and the arrangement of the officials. In other words, the local officials are again, and the prince's officials are low-ranking. Zhang Jianzhi's move clearly shows that he is suspected of self-deprecation. The world is surprised, and Zhang Jianzhi has nothing to say.

No matter what the world thinks, Zhang Jianzhi ignores all of them, and only does things honestly, but Li Xian can't let Zhang Jianzhi be wronged, so he quietly sent someone to pick up his family from Xiangfan without saying anything. The two sons, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Ming, were all arranged to study in the Imperial College, and the treatment was a great honor. However, Zhang Jianzhi did not say a word of thanks, and the people in the royal family felt strange about it. So far, with Zhang Jianzhi on the inside and Di Renjie on the outside, Li Xian's political team is basically in place, and the rest is just filling in the gaps. For Li Xian, it is certainly something worth celebrating. It's a good thing, but, in order not to cause criticism, Li Xian wisely kept a low profile and made a fortune in silence.

Li Xian really wanted to keep a low profile, probably because the current court situation is very strange, there is no movement from all parties, the big guys seem to have made an appointment, and they all played deep, the order in the court hall is orderly, and everything goes smoothly Quite obviously, Li Xian naturally didn't want to stir up trouble at such a time. If he became the target of public criticism, the fun would be so small. The eaves in his early years would always rot first, so Li Xian didn't want to be a The early bird, so the days passed so peacefully, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Although it was still during the national mourning period, banquets were not allowed as usual, but in order to take care of the people, Gao Zongte issued a notice The imperial edict allowed the ban to be lifted for three days, and the people all over the world heard it, and everyone praised it. Li Xian, who failed to enjoy himself at the grand ceremony of entering the East Palace, was so excited that he sent an invitation card early, and wanted to take this opportunity to have a big banquet as a celebration , as Li Xian's greatest contributor to his position, Li Xian is naturally one of the guests of honor. No matter whether Li Xian is willing or not, he must go to this banquet. The two brothers are very close, no, the banquet will only start at noon, and Li Xiansi arrived at three o'clock, not only the people arrived, but also the big gifts were delivered together. Li Xian, who was so short, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth with joy, he went out to greet him personally, and specially arranged for Li Xian to rest in the back hall of Juxian Hall, waiting for the banquet to start, the etiquette is considered very considerate.

Three thousand is a huge number for others, but for Li Xian, it is just a drop in the bucket. You must know that Li Xian is now a big business—the "Deng Ji Firm" in charge of Deng Cheng can now be said to be the world's largest The No. [-] firm, not to mention the assets hidden in the dark, the business on the bright side is astonishing, and most of them are unique businesses. Although the "Ming Di" side has a lot of expenses, even so, the annual net income It is worth one-tenth of the national treasury's annual income. It is really amazing. It is not a big deal to spend such a small amount of money to beat Li Xian. I can see Li Xian's eye for money. Xian was willing, not only willing, but also happy, but after a little eunuch who came to deliver tea gave Li Xian a few secret signals, Li Xian couldn't laugh anymore.

The name of the little eunuch is not important, what is important is that this person is one of Li Xianan's hidden stakes in the East Palace, and the codes he played are extremely hidden, and only Li Xian can understand the meaning of them— - Someone wanted to make trouble at the banquet, and the target was Li Xian. There is no doubt that Li Xian must be aware of this trouble, but he didn't say that he was about to say it. There is something very strange here.

Attack?You really treat me like a sick cat. If these idiots want to seek death, then come here!Li Xian knew that although he had acted in a very low-key way these days, he was too much in the limelight before, and he had already become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh that no one could tolerate, and the conspiracy would come sooner or later. It's just a question of when it will come. Of course, Li Xian has already made relevant preparations, but he doesn't care too much about it. However, when he thinks that Li Xian has also had a hand in it, Li Xian can't help being furious. It can only be said that this guy really needs to clean up a little bit, although Li Xian understands the deep worry in his heart, after all, no matter who stays in the position of the prince, it is impossible for a strong younger brother like Li Xian to completely Don't worry, it's a matter of time to start. The problem is that this guy didn't sit still, so he thought about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. I really don't know how the word "death" is written.

"Seventh brother, let's go, sit in the table with brother Wei!"

Time passed quickly while Li Xian was meditating, and it was almost noon, Li Xian flashed out from behind the screen with an excited face, waved to Li Xian with great interest, and greeted Li Xian with a smile.

"The elder brother of the prince has an invitation, and the younger brother should obey."

For Li Xian, Li Xian is ready to give up, but he can't give up so quickly. At least before Li Xian goes to the official position, Li Xian must have enough capital to fight against Empress Wu and Li Zhen, so that they can be in court. Fighting enough to buy time for Li Xian to calmly deploy the overall situation. Because of this, Li Xian knew that Li Xian had ulterior motives for this banquet, but Li Xian still didn't intend to tear himself apart. He stood up pretending not to know, smiling He clapped his hands in reply.

"Well, the seventh brother is here again. It's agreed to call him the sixth brother. If the prince is not a son, will you cut brother's face?"

Li Xian was obviously in a good mood. Seeing Li Xian bowing to him, he immediately turned up his face pretending to be angry, and dismissed Li Xian pretending to be unhappy.

Cut, if we really call him "Sixth Brother", I'm afraid you will have a shadow in your heart again, you are really hypocritical to the fullest, boring!Li Xian knows Li Xian very well, how could he not know that this kid is just pretending to put on a pose there, and his heart can't help but feel very greasy for a while, but he didn't bother to say it, he just responded with a smile : "Brother Prince taught me a lesson, it's just that the status of the monarch and ministers is certain, and the ministers dare not lose their manners. In case they are fed up by those gangsters, they will think about participating in the speech. If there is a big turmoil, the prince brother should not embarrass the younger brother."

"Forget it, forget it, it's up to you, let's go, let's go, let's not make the big guys wait any longer, as a brother today, I have to get drunk with my seventh brother!" Just as Li Xian thought, Li Xian was just pretending to be courteous, seeing Li Xian's insistence at this moment, he felt very useful, but his face showed a look of reluctance, he took Li Xian's hand, and walked out of the room while talking.Li Xian didn't bother to care about it too much, so he let Li Xian act warmly there, and the two brothers walked into the front hall talking and laughing all the way.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

In the front hall, all the people were chatting one after another, when they suddenly heard a high-pitched voice at the corner of the back hall and the front hall, they didn't dare to be negligent, and each got up after plastic surgery , standing with hands down, waiting for Li Xian's arrival.

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After the Li Xian brothers walked side by side into the front hall, all the people waited in unison to bow and salute to say hello.

"No, no, they are all my brothers, there is no need to be so polite, please sit down."

Li Xian sat down to the middle seat with great satisfaction, and was not in a hurry to take his seat. Instead, he looked around at everyone in the hall, pressed his hands with a smile, and gave instructions in an easy-going manner.

"I am waiting to thank His Royal Highness for giving me a seat!"

Li Xian could pretend to be humble, but everyone didn't dare to be rude, thanked them as usual, and then took their seats.

Hehe, my brother?It's really all my brothers!Taking advantage of Li Xian putting on airs there, Li Xian had already seen all the people present clearly. This time, there were more than a dozen people who came to the banquet, and they could all be regarded as brothers——Li Xulun, a genuine brother Not counting, the four sons of Li Zhen are cousins, plus four of the seven sons of King Ji Li Shen—Li Xu, Li Cong, Li Rui, and Li Xiu are also cousins. As for the four of the Wu family who are cousins, the only exception is It was Ming Chongyan who sat with the four brothers of the Wu family. Such a large group of people had representatives from all sides, and it was like a United Nations.

"Sing and dance!"

Li Xian obviously enjoyed everyone's respect, and pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands triumphantly, and then saw a dozen or so costumed dancers Ting Ting curling in from outside the hall, with the sound of drums and music, The water sleeves are flying, the singing is gradually rising, and the dancing is dancing, which is very lively.

Since Li Hong's death, the big guys haven't had a drink for a long time. Now that they have the convenience, they all let go of drinking. In addition, all the people present here are young people. When they drink, they are all bold and tight. Xie, but the wine has already passed three rounds, the atmosphere is not unharmonious, but there is a dark atmosphere circulating in the hall, but it is very faint, if it is not for those who have a heart like a mirror, they will definitely notice it, of course, for For Li Xian, it was not a problem. He had already noticed the flirting among the brothers, but he didn't care too much. When Ming Chongyan was about to come over with the wine bottle, although Li Xian was still smiling, there was a trace of almost imperceptible chill in his eyes, probably because Li Xian knew very well that the show was coming.
