Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 354 Murderous Intent Hidden (2)

"The seventh brother's wish has finally been fulfilled. I wish the seventh brother a triumphant return as soon as possible. Today, the seventh brother's expedition is imminent. As a brother, let me buy a bottle of thin wine. It is considered a strong move for the seventh brother. If you don't give up, please drink with me? "

After Gaozong left, the court meeting was over. Empress Wu didn't say anything more, but just glanced at Li Xian meaningfully, followed Gaozong, and turned into the apse together. , the group of ministers stepped forward to exchange greetings with Li Xian, and they all dispersed, but Li Xian did not leave in a hurry, until after Li Xian finished greeting with the ministers, he walked forward, in a harmonious manner An invitation was sent out.

Drink together?Ha, this guy is most likely thinking of recruiting our people, let's go dreaming!It can be said that Li Xian understood Li Xian's personality to the bone marrow. He guessed Li Xian's intentions for this invitation just by hearing it. He sneered secretly in his heart, but he didn't dismiss it What he meant was that he just smiled and declined politely: "Brother Prince's kindness is appreciated, but the military situation is urgent, so there must be no delay, and my brother is still entangled in some mundane affairs, it is really difficult to get away. If I have time, I will definitely visit the prince's brother." .”

"Well, that's true, hehe, it's for brother Meng Lang, so let's do it, when the seventh brother finishes his work, let's come and take a walk for brother, you and my brother are farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again, seven My younger brother is so precious, I should pray for my seventh brother every day before the Buddha."

Li Xian obviously didn't expect to encounter such a soft nail, and his face turned a little ugly in an instant, but he couldn't do anything about Li Xian, after all, what Li Xian said was the truth, Li Xian just wanted to find someone Even the disrespectful excuses were useless, and he was choked to the point of embarrassment, and couldn't get angry, so he could only laugh a few times in embarrassment, and slapped a few perfunctory words indiscriminately.

"Thank you for your love, brother prince. I dare not betray the honor of my father and brother of the prince. I will definitely take it as my duty to exterminate Tubo and ensure the safety of Tangmu. , and Brother Rongchen bid farewell and went back to the residence to prepare for the luggage."

Originally, as far as Li Xian is concerned, Li Xian's use value is almost exhausted. As for how he will fight with Empress Wu and even the King of Yue in the future, Li Xian has no intention of caring about it. In terms of affection, Li Xian, who belongs to the gang, will try his best to help, but this guy is really too bad, how can Li Xian have any affection for him, and what happened before the expedition Li Xian was even more unwilling to talk nonsense with him, so he asked for his resignation directly.

"This...well then, Seventh Brother, hurry up and go."

Hearing Li Xian's official words, Li Xian immediately became annoyed for a while, thinking that he was ignored by Li Xian, but he didn't think about how bad his own behavior was. Under this anger, his face immediately became ugly and angry Flicking his big sleeves, he let out a displeased voice.

"Elder brother of the prince stays for a while, and my younger brother bids farewell."

The left and right sides will have nothing to do with each other, and there will be no chance to meet again in the future. Li Xian doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as Li Xian, and doesn't care about his annoyance at all. After saluting respectfully, he turned around and He walked out of the palace in a cool and unrestrained manner.

"Hmph, drive back to the palace!"

Looking at the back of Li Xianyuan, Li Xian clenched his teeth, his face changed from red to white, and the fierce light in his eyes kept flickering. Zhang Che and the others let out a snarl, and the panic was beyond words... "See Your Highness!"

Li Xian didn't have the time to spend much time with Li Xian and other guys who were destined to finish the game, and he didn't bother to pay attention to his thoughts. As soon as he left the palace, he rushed back to his own house, and just turned around from the screen at the door of the study. After coming out, Di Renjie and others who had been waiting in the study room stood up immediately, bowing and saluting each other.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Looking at the crowd of confidants and important officials, Li Xian had pride surging in his heart, but the city was deep, so he didn't bring it to his face, he just strode up to the big seat at the top and sat down, looked around at everyone, Then he pressed his hands flatly, indicating that everyone should take their seats, and the bookboys accompanying him in his own study served freshly brewed fragrant tea to everyone, and immediately bowed and left the room.

"Your Highness, the court meeting has a result?"

Most of the people present are calm-minded people, needless to say the two wise men, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi, and Lin Mingdu and King Luo Bin are not idle people either. In comparison, Xiao Qian, a simple general, is not so Deep in the city, seeing that Li Xian didn't say anything for a long time, he couldn't hold back any longer, he cupped his hands, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Well, I have obtained the permission of my father, and I will rush to Hexi in a few days."

For the next five people, Li Xian has always been trustworthy, so he will not hide anything, and directly gave a clear answer.

"That's great. Your Highness is going. When the dragon returns to the sea, it is inevitable to travel thousands of miles. Finally, please order to go to Hexi with His Highness, and kill him!"

As soon as Li Xian said this, although Di Renjie and the others had expected it, they couldn't help showing a gratified smile when they heard the letter, while Xiao Qian was even more straightforward, clapping his hands together and shouting excitedly .

"There will be a chance, but not now." Having been with Xiao Qian for many years, Li Xian knew Xiao Qian's temperament clearly, and knew that his words were not false, so he smiled and comforted him, and then, with a serious face, he said in a calm voice: "If I go alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to return for several years, so I'll leave the affairs of the court to you gentlemen!"

"Willing to serve His Highness!"

Seeing Li Xian's solemn expression, everyone knew that Li Xian was about to confess to something serious, so they didn't dare to make any jokes, and they all responded with restrained faces.

"Unexpectedly, the middle general of the Ding Dynasty will have a lot of troubles. Under the confrontation of all parties, the court struggle is bound to be fierce. You should not be careless. Everything must be stable. If there is no special explanation, it will be decided by Di Gong, and there will be no mistakes. !" Li Xian has always been generous in his treatment, but when it comes to serious matters, he is always nailed or nailed or riveted, and there is no room for ambiguity.

"I will wait for your order!"

The four important ministers are each in the same line, and it's really not very harmonious on weekdays, but since Li Xian has spoken, no one dares to say anything, they can only keep their promises.

"Well, all the gentlemen are people who respect promises, so you can rest assured. It's getting late, and you have to leave in one or two days. I'm entangled in mundane affairs, so I won't keep you gentlemen. Di Gong will stay for a while. , all the gentlemen should disperse."

Li Xian summoned a group of his confidantes this time to establish Di Renjie's leadership, so that in case of an accident, the group of dragons will be defeated one by one without a leader. With words, this incomparably brief meeting ended neatly and neatly.

"promise!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, everyone dared not neglect to go, no matter whether they were willing or not, they could only stand up and obey the promise, and then dispersed.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with the court meeting today?"

Di Renjie is worthy of being a wise man. Although Li Xian has never looked inappropriate since he came back, he can tell at a glance that Li Xian is thinking, and after waiting for everyone to disperse, he asked with a smile, " Well, there are some small twists and turns, the thing is like this..."

Li Xian has always respected Di Renjie, so he would never hide anything about him. Hearing his question, he nodded without any hesitation, and recounted the events of today's court meeting in detail. He said awe-inspiringly: "Di Gong, I expect that once Dinggu walks away, there must be someone behind him who will make a rash move. If Gu's prediction is not bad, the one who can't help it first must be the prince. If he dares to move, the counterattack must be fierce. , hit him until he is afraid, don't be soft-handed, I will hand over all the 'Ming Di' to you. In addition, if necessary, all the materials of the 'Deng Ji Company' can be transferred at will, so as to be able to hold the position firmly, don't let the alone The front line still has to worry about this place, and Lord Laudy will take care of everything."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, even if I risk my life, I will defend the country for Your Highness, and that's all!"

Di Renjie knew how arduous this task was, but he didn't show any fear of it. With a serious expression on his face, he gave Li Xian a deep respect and solemnly made a promise...Yeting Palace, located in the Imperial City On the west side is the residence of palace maids and eunuchs without rank. It is inevitable to be dirty and messy. It is said to be a part of the imperial city, but it is actually a hodgepodge. The corner is like a labyrinth. If ordinary people walk in it suddenly, they will get lost in nine out of ten, but for Cheng Denggao who has lived in this palace for many years, it doesn't matter. , even though it was dark and night, even if there was no one around to guide him, Cheng Denggao's footsteps never slowed down. He arrived in front of a small courtyard near the palace wall and stood attentively in front of the door. After waiting for a while, he cautiously stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door. With a flash of his slightly obese figure, the man had already rushed into the courtyard like a ghost.

"Humph!"

Cheng Denggao's movements were not unpleasant, but before he could gain a firm foothold, a cold snort rang in his ears. At the same time, a cold light flashed and disappeared in the night, and Cheng Denggao only felt a chill on his neck. , a dagger was firmly pressed against the flesh, with just one swipe, even if Cheng Denggao had ten lives, he had to settle for it.

"Don't, don't mess around, it's me, it's me!"

Being forced by the dagger, Cheng Denggao immediately panicked, and hurriedly called out in a low voice, the voice was full of panic.

"Hmph, what's the matter?"

The person who shot secretly obviously knew that it was Cheng Denggao who came, but he didn't put down the dagger resting on his neck, but squeezed out a few extremely dull numbers from his throat.

"Your Majesty has ordered that 'Operation West Wind' can begin, Eunuch Sun, don't be joking."

Cheng Denggao was obviously very afraid of the person behind him, and his voice was extremely low, but the meaning of begging for mercy was very strong in his tone.

"Humph!"

As soon as he heard the word "Niangniang", the man in the dark couldn't help but snorted coldly, and his hands couldn't help trembling slightly, and almost pulled a bloody hole on Cheng Denggao's neck, scaring Cheng Denggao His face was as white as paper, his legs and feet trembled, and he almost lost control. Just as he was about to howl, he suddenly felt the pressure on his neck loosen, and the gleaming dagger disappeared, and his hanging heart was finally relieved.

"Eunuch Sun, my mother has already confessed that this matter is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. I hope that Eunuch Sun will take care of himself, and don't make mistakes!"

Cheng Denggao took a few breaths, and finally woke up from the panic, his face became serious, and he put on the airs of a eunuch in charge of ceremonies, and confessed coldly.

"roll!"

Hearing what Cheng Denggao said, the man in the dark was obviously angry. He walked out of the darkness with a big stride, glared at Cheng Denggao, and squeezed out a word from his throat.

"You, you...Okay, just wait and see!"

Cheng Denggao was obviously terrified of that man, although he was extremely annoyed, he didn't dare to speak harsh words at all, flicked his big sleeves, and hurried away in a huff.

"waste!"

The man in the dark turned his head and revealed a ferocious face under the moonlight. It was Sun Quanfu, who was supposed to have been executed with a rod, but when he saw Cheng Denggao walking away in embarrassment, he scolded disdainfully. In a flash, the person has disappeared into the night again...
