Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 654 Phase Controversy (2)

"My lord, don't panic, this must be sincerity!"

When Li Zhenshang was at a loss, Chen Wushuang laughed out loud, clapped his hands happily, and made a conclusion with a smile on his face.

"Huh? What do you mean by this, sir?"

What Chen Wushuang said was absolutely certain, but Li Zhen's head was still full of confusion, she frowned and thought about it, but she still didn't understand the meaning, so she had no choice but to ask questions.

"Don't worry, my lord. His Royal Highness must be here for a good purpose. You may as well just go and pick him up!"

Chen Wushuang shook his head with a smile, and explained casually.

"That orphan..."

Li Xian's advantage is not so easy to get, there is a mystery hidden behind it, Li Zhen has suffered a lot, she dare not take it lightly, seeing Chen Wushuang speak so easily, in the bottom of her heart It is inevitable that he made a fuss.

"My lord, just relax and take care of all the benefits first. If you promise, you don't need to be in a hurry. You can discuss it carefully later. It's not a joke to make His Royal Highness wait in a hurry."

Chen Wushuang knew that Li Zhen was worried, but she didn't care, she just urged Li Zhen with a smile.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look first, and discuss it later."

Li Zhen thought about it, and felt that if Li Xian didn't make an actual promise, no matter how many schemes Li Xian had, it would be difficult for him to use it. She felt relieved and didn't hesitate any longer. That is to say, he strode to the gate of Qianyuan mansion.

The scale of the prince's trip is huge, with more than a thousand guards, hundreds of eunuchs and maids accompanying him, the banners cover the sky and the sun, it is so spectacular, it blocks the Banlazi Street for a living, as for the front of the Yue Palace, it is even more There were a lot of people, and all kinds of people in the palace were kneeling on the ground. Li Chong and other princes accompanied Li Xian with smiles on their faces, talking about pleasant conversations, but Li Xian just said indifferently. With a smile, he couldn't answer a sentence after ten sentences, as if he was thinking a lot.

"The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you fail to meet him, you will be punished by death, death penalty!"

Just when Li Chong and the others were chatting with Li Xian, they saw Li Zhen rushing out from the gate of the mansion, walked to Li Xian's body in a few strides, and bowed her head.

"Eight Uncle doesn't need to be too polite, I am an unexpected guest, disturbing Eight Uncle, I am really panic."

Although he really doesn't want to see Li Zhen 12 times in his heart, he still has to do enough superficial skills. Li Xian will not lose his manners, he took half a step forward with a smile, raised his hand falsely, and apologized. .

"Don't dare, dare not, His Highness is able to come, the humble house is really full of splendor, it is really an honor for the old minister."

Although Li Zhen also had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she never brought them to her face. Instead, she continued to be courteous with a smile on her face, but she never asked Li Xianzhi why he came, and made it clear that he wanted Li Xian to come by himself Such a mouth.

"Uncle Ba, you're being polite. I'm here to discuss something with Uncle Ba, and I don't know what Uncle Ba wants?"

Li Xian could understand Li Zhen's meaning, and it was inevitable that he would feel distorted, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so Li Zhen's meaning revealed the theme here.

"Okay, that's good, please come inside, Your Highness!"

Although Li Zhen knew that what Li Xianyao discussed with her must be a battle of phases, but when Li Xian said it face to face, her heartstrings still couldn't help trembling, and her hands shrank in her big sleeves trembled a little because of it. Next, fortunately, the city was deep, so he quickly regained his composure. He bowed humbly and let Li Xian into the gate of the mansion. He talked and laughed all the way to the hall of the second room. After each sat down, there was a group of The servants of the palace served the freshly made fragrant tea, and then each retreated. In the huge hall, only the host and guest were left alone to play the duet.

"If I remember correctly, Eighth Uncle should be on duty at Daming Palace today, right?"

Seeing the old god Li Zhen sitting on the ground, pretending to be waiting for Li Xian to present a big gift, Li Xian couldn't help being a little annoyed and funny, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with a half-smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, the old minister suddenly felt dizzy, so he asked for leave and returned early, hehe, His Highness laughed, laughed."

Sneaking out while on duty is a dereliction of duty, especially when Li Xian, the crown prince, caught him and thought about it seriously. Seeing the sweat, he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off, so he could only bow down and cover up with an apologetic smile.

"Dizzy? Eighth Uncle is also an elderly person, and his body is in serious condition. If he is sick, he must be seen quickly. But Bengong helped to send the imperial doctor?"

Li Xian came here this time to give a gift, and this gift is really not light. Even though Li Xian is open-minded, he can't help but feel pain in his flesh. Because of this, his unhappiness will inevitably increase. Why? Seeing that Li Zhen was not pleasing to the eye, this time he seized the opportunity, so he couldn't play tricks on Li Zhen, and when would he wait.

"His Royal Highness is worried, the old minister rested for a while, and he is much better now, hehe, much better."

Li Zhen is not sick at all, even if there is, it is just a heart disease, there is no need to invite the imperial physician to come, he knows this matter, of course Li Xian will not be unaware, there is no doubt that what Li Xian said It's just teasing, but there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers, no matter how crooked Li Zhen's heart is, there is no room for him to explode, so he can only reply vaguely with a flattering smile.

"Well, that's good. Eighth Uncle is the pillar of the community. Don't overwork yourself. You need to pay more attention to rest."

Seize the opportunity to tease Li Zhen, and vent the grievances in his heart. After all, he has serious business to discuss when he comes to Yue Palace this time, and Li Xian doesn't want to make the relationship between the two of them too rigid, so he laughed, After a few casual reminders, the matter of Li Zhen's sneaking out was gently revealed.

"What His Highness said, the old minister should remember it in his heart, and dare not forget it."

Seeing that Li Xian didn't bother about running away anymore, Li Zhen's uneasy heart finally calmed down, and she quickly agreed with a smile.

"It's good for the eighth uncle to remember. Well, the eighth uncle is also in the Daming Palace today. Presumably he knows about Li Xiang's relegation to Yuzhou?"

Going around with old foxes like Li Zhen is a very nerve-wracking thing. Li Xian obviously doesn't intend to do this.

"This matter, well, the old minister has heard a little about this matter, but he doesn't know the details."

When it came to business, the embarrassment on Li Zhen's face disappeared in an instant, and some were just indifferent, and the words in the answer were full of perfunctory and vigilance. Obviously, before Li showed his trump card, Li Zhen Zhen absolutely does not intend to make even the slightest statement on this matter.

"Li Xiang has been cautious all his life. He has been an official for forty years. He has rarely made mistakes in his actions. He is really a model of diligence. It is a pity that when he is old, he is misunderstood by his children. It is really embarrassing."

Li Xian ignored Li Zhen's perfunctory and vagueness, and expressed emotion as if talking to himself, looking really sad for Li Jingxuan's resignation.

"What Your Highness said is that there has been a saying since ancient times that all the daughters here are creditors in the previous life, but they have come to collect debts in this life. I don't know how many people in the world have been burdened by their children. It is really inexplicable."

Li Xianyao lamented that even if Li Zhen didn't want to listen, she could only listen. Not only did she have to listen, but she also had to echo her a few times. It's inevitable.

"Hehe, sons and daughters are debt collectors. The metaphor of the eighth uncle is very appropriate. As fathers, we are all debtors, and we deserve to be tortured by the younger generation. It is very interesting."

Li Xian did not expect Li Zhen to make such a statement, and he felt it was novel, so he couldn't help but smile.

"These are all gossips passed down from old people. After all, there is some truth in it. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not, but it's all for the fun of His Highness."

Li Zhen's previous remarks were just casual, but seeing that Li Xian was very interested in this, she was happy to echo her a few words.

"Well, the fun is over. Let's stop gossiping and let's just say it straight. I'm here for Li Xiangkong's vacancy. I don't know what Eighth Uncle thinks about it?"

Li Xian's expression suddenly turned serious, he looked at Li Zhen seriously, and made a direct attack without concealing it.

"This... This is not something that I can participate in. The old minister dare not have any ideas. I would like to ask His Royal Highness Haihan to make a decision."

Being asked so abruptly by Li Xian, Li Zhen couldn't change her mind, she was stunned for a moment, subconsciously bowed her body, and hurriedly said something to evade.

"The eighth uncle is too modest. As the crown prince and grand teacher, you are also the prime minister of the court. It is the eighth uncle's responsibility to discuss politics. Now that there is no vacancy for the eighth uncle, can the eighth uncle recommend someone?"

Since Li Xian came, he naturally wouldn't let Li Zhen practice Taijiquan endlessly there, so he waved his hand to signal Li Zhen not to be too polite, but he didn't relax at all, and asked further.

"The veteran has no opinion on this, and it is true that no one wants to recommend it. Everything should be decided by His Majesty and the empress. The veteran will definitely not have the slightest doubt."

As soon as Li Xian asked such a sharp question, Li Zhen was taken aback, flustered, and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Uncle Ba, don't be nervous. Your loyalty is not only trustworthy by the emperor and the empress, but also this palace. After all, I have come to look for Uncle Ba this time, and I have someone to recommend. If Uncle Ba thinks it is feasible, You might as well link this chapter together."

Enough talking about what needs to be said, and Li Xian didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so the truth appeared on his serious face.

"This, ah, this, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince clearly, the old minister has something to worry about."

Li Zhen didn't plan to get on Li Xian's "thief ship" easily, so she didn't plan to link this chapter, but she didn't dare to say too much rejection in front of Li Xian, so she rolled her eyes , responded vaguely.

"Well, to be honest with my eighth uncle, I think Gao Zhizhou, the imperial historian, has outstanding talents and enough qualifications. Maybe he should be the best candidate for Ren Zhongshuling. I don't know what my eighth uncle thinks?"

Li Xian ignored Li Zhen's perfunctory words, and continued on his own.

"what……"

As soon as Li Xian proposed such a candidate, Li Zhen immediately froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, her mouth opened wide without realizing it, she had completely lost her normalcy.
