Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 326 Taking Advance as Retreat (1)

"Your Highness, you, you are..."

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Gao Miao, Lin Chengbin and other high-ranking generals of the Yingwang Palace were not qualified to participate in the feast of the Juxian Hall, but after all they were all dignified figures. This time to accompany Li Xian to the banquet, the East Palace naturally did not dare to treat them badly. Together with the high-ranking attendants from other prefectures, they were arranged to have dinner at the guards near the palace gate, which was quite far away from the Juxian Hall, but because the battle between Li Xian and Ming Chongyan was really amazing, there were frequent differences. When Li Xian came out, everyone was alarmed, but they didn't give up their lives, and no one dared to trespass in the inner palace. They could only gather at the palace gate and discuss indiscriminately, until Li Xian was about to come out in rags, Gao Miao, etc. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, and while he was worried, he didn't care about the surprise of the others, and hurriedly rushed forward, asking questions at random.

"I'm fine, let's go, go back home!"

Li Xian didn't want to explain too much, but just responded indifferently, and walked out of the palace gate without stopping. Gao Miao and the others saw this, and looked at each other, they didn't dare to neglect, they could only be cautious. He followed behind Li Xian.

"Gao Miao, go, immediately invite Di Gong to the mansion to discuss matters!"

Before getting into the carriage, Li Xian paused, and ordered with a slight frown.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Gao Miao was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He responded respectfully. First, he carefully served Li Xian to get into the carriage, and then he took a war horse from a guard beside him, and led a few entourages away. The horse galloped towards Di Renjie's mansion... "Your Highness, I will see you!"

When Li Xian returned to the mansion, he washed himself in a hurry, and after treating the wound on his shoulder, he strode towards the study room. Just as he was about to come out from the screen, he saw that Di Renjie had arrived and was talking to him. Zhang Jianzhi was talking in a low voice, when the two saw Li Xian coming, they stopped talking quickly, and each got up to salute and greet each other.

"No, Mr. Di, Mr. Zhang, please sit down and talk."

Li Xian nodded and greeted with a smile, strode to the back of the first few, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down. A book boy hurriedly offered tea, and then left the room , leaving only the three guests sitting opposite each other.

"Your Highness, what happened in the East Palace?"

The battle between Li Xian and Ming Chongyan was very noisy. Although Li Xian himself had no relevant instructions, "Ming Di" had already dutifully sent all the news he could get back to the British Palace. Previously, Di, Zhang What the two of them were discussing was this matter. However, since this matter happened at the banquet in Juxian Hall, and the cause was unknown, although Di and Zhang had guessed some of the facts, they did not dare to act easily. This assertion, of course, with the wisdom of the two of them, they can see that the matter is not that simple behind it, and they both inevitably feel a little worried. Now that Li Xian, the right master, has arrived, Di Renjie doesn't want to make more detours. This is a straightforward question.

"Some people are so panicked that they just find something for Gu to do, but it's not a big deal. Well, it's like this..." Li Xian curled his lips in disdain, and nonchalantly told the whole story. I described my own guess in detail, and at the end, I asked a question: "In this situation, how should I deal with myself?"

Li Xian's expression was calm and calm, and his tone of voice was very steady, but in the ears of Di and Zhang, it was not that simple, probably because they are wise men in the world, how could they not understand the subtlety of the current situation—— —Although Li Xian seems to have a lot of power in the court, but when it comes to confronting the three forces, there is no hope at all. Now the three parties seem to have joined forces, and it is clearly aimed at It is absolutely impossible for Li Xian to leave because of Ming Chongyan's defeat. If there is no corresponding good strategy, the situation will be dangerous. The question is, how can such a strategy be easily obtained? The two had already been mentally prepared, but it was really hard to argue in a hurry. They could only lower their heads and meditate, and Li Xian was not in a hurry, not urging him, but just sipping tea silently. An unbearable silence.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. The court has been full of troubles since then. Your Highness must make plans early."

After a long period of silence, Di Renjie spoke first, but his words were reserved and he didn't make his words too clear.

"Well, I'm afraid that Gu is now the target of public criticism. Hey, even the prince can't tolerate Gu being in the way in the court hall. In this situation, Gu should indeed avoid it, but this avoidance also needs to be done carefully. That’s right, does Mr. Di have any advice?”

Li Xian himself is a master of scheming, so he can see that the current situation is not good, and he knows that it is time to go, but he doesn't want to leave too hastily, after all, there are many things that have not been arranged, not only It's about the government affairs of the court, and there are also those business affairs that need to be taken care of; secondly, even if it is an official who is destined to go, Li Xian must hold the initiative, and must not let those villains arrange a corner at will. The land of lumps, and these two need to be guaranteed by a proper plan. Although Li Xian has some ideas in his mind, he does not dare to say that it is absolutely safe. This requires the wisdom of Di and Zhang to prove it But, in order not to affect the thinking of the two, Li Xian was not in a hurry to reveal his plan, but asked with a smile, "Advance is retreat!"

Di Renjie hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Zhang Jianzhi, who was sitting silently by the side, interjected.

"Brother Meng Jiang (Zhang Jianzhi's word) said that he is very kind. You can retreat, but you can't retreat for nothing. After all, you have to let someone feel sorry for you. Your Highness can retreat calmly."

Di Renjie got along with Zhang Jianzhi a lot these days, so he knew Zhang Jianzhi's temperament of cherishing words like gold, so he stroked his long beard on his chest, and explained with a smile.

"Well, Gu also thinks so, but it may not be so easy to advance. Do you two gentlemen have any good strategies for this?"

In terms of grasping the general direction, Li Xian has always been very keen, and he has thought of this a long time ago, but he is a little hesitant about which side to attack. Li Zhen is undoubtedly the weakest side. It is not too difficult to attack. Even if there is nothing wrong with Li Xian, in terms of the powerful dark forces that Li Xian possesses, it is nothing more than a trivial matter to be planted. It's just a matter of minutes. The question is whether Li Zhen can solve the predicament in front of him is hard to say. If the excitement makes the three parties jump over the wall, it will be a lot of fun, right?As for Li Xian, he couldn't even beat him. That guy was already weak, and Li Xian hoped that he could deal with Empress Wu for a few more years in order to buy some time for his big plan. There is no doubt that beating Empress Wu is the tactic that most suits Li Xian's wishes, but Empress Wu is not so easy to fight. If the snake bites instead of beating the snake, the consequences will be a bit unbearable.

"The key to this matter is still the crown prince. If you can make him defect, then the event will be settled!"

Zhang Jianzhi's intelligence is not inferior to Di Renjie's, but his temperament is far more rigid than Di Renjie's. Even when facing Li Xian, he speaks very directly. The answer has been brought up.

"Huh? Sir, you mean..."

Li Xianben was having a headache because of this delicate game of chess, when he heard that Zhang Jianzhi seemed to have made a decision, he suddenly regained his energy and hurriedly asked questions.

"The prince is headstrong and self-serving, he likes to act blindly without plan, and he forgets righteousness when he hears about small profits. He is not a person who can be relied on. Now he is jealous of His Highness, but he is worried that His Highness will replace him, but there is nothing strange about it." , if His Highness asks for an official, his heart will be lazy, and it is not difficult to make him turn back. If a certain person is not bad, he will come to find His Highness in the next few days to find out. His Highness can sum it up in one word. It's very difficult, and the only thing to worry about is the queen's empress, if she catches her unprepared and takes advantage of the chaos, why not worry about it?"

The matter was so important that Zhang Jianzhi didn't dare to take it lightly, so he made a rare long speech and analyzed the strangeness inside in detail.

"Well."

Li Xian listened to Zhang Jianzhi's explanation quietly, but did not express his attitude immediately. Instead, he repeatedly calculated in his heart how high the possibility of success or failure was, and at the same time, he was also thinking about which one to start with. Under the circumstances, I couldn't help thinking deeply, and I didn't speak for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, you must continue to stop, and you will be subject to chaos! Now that the money and food in the 'Gongling' is about to be cut off, it is not impossible to start from now on!"

Zhang Jianzhi waited for a long time, seeing that Li Xian had never made a statement, so he frowned slightly, and said something to wake him up.

"Oh? There is such a thing! Gu..."

Over the past few days, Li Xian has given Zhang Jianzhi the full authority to sort out information from all parties, but he has not paid much attention to the progress of "Gongling" (Li Hongzhi's tomb). , my heart couldn't help but move, and I understood the meaning of Zhang Jianzhi's words. I was overjoyed and was about to make a decision when I saw Gao Miao hurriedly appearing from behind the screen, so he stopped talking , raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and glanced at Gao Miao.

"His Royal Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, His Highness, please let me know!"

Seeing Li Xian's unhappy face, Gao Miao didn't dare to be negligent. He ran forward in a hurry, bowed, and rushed to report.

Hehe, when you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. It's really interesting!Li Xian was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, but he soon came back to his senses. With a flash of thought in his mind, he had already guessed Li Xian's reason for coming, and with a twitch of his mouth, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Let’s avoid it for the time being, I’ll pick you up here.”

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you go. The next official will wait for the good news."

Both Di and Zhang were extremely smart and calculated, and they also guessed Li Xian's intention, but Zhang Jianzhi remained silent, while Di Renjie laughed and teased.

"Hahaha……"

Li Xian understood the meaning of Di Renjie's words, but he didn't say any more. He laughed and stood up, flicked his sleeves, walked out of the study room slowly, and walked towards the door of the mansion. go.
