Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 734 Subduing Liu Rengui

"Your Highness is serious, serious, don't stop here, don't stop here."

Liu Rengui can be said to be a courageous and heroic generation. Back then in Goguryeo, he raised troops and swept the world. In the battle of Baijiangchuan, he fought more with less, and killed the entire Japanese navy army. Counting, but at this moment, Li Xian was so shocked by the call that he was at a loss, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after trembling for a while, he tremblingly spoke out a word of persuasion.

"Isn't that the end? Hehe, I also hope that the palace will be safe and sound, but the situation is compelling. The father and emperor are weak and can't manage the government. The government affairs are in the hands of the queen mother, and the king of Yue is watching. How can I be safe? If I hadn't responded properly, I would have died early and had no place to live. I was assassinated several times in Hexi, and I had to face all kinds of hardships when I returned to Beijing. I am exhausted. Liu Xiang is a gentleman, what can you teach me? "

Li Xian smiled wryly, shook his head, and narrated with a sad expression. He analyzed the situation in the court without any scruples, and at the end, he forced a hot potato into Liu Rengui's arms.

"This this……"

Although Liu Rengui has been an official for a long time, most of them are outsiders, and he didn't spend much time in the court. Even so, he knows the changes in the court very well, so he knows what Li Xian said. Actually, in fact, Liu Rengui admired Li Xianneng's ability to stand firmly in such an unfavorable situation, but in his heart, he admired him. Liu Rengui really hadn't thought about joining Li Xian. Facing Li Xianming's solicitation intentions, Liu Rengui really didn't know how to deal with him for a while.

"Does Liu Xiang think that this palace can still deal with Yuru?"

Li Xian's way of negotiating is not blindly coercive, and before Liu Rengui hesitated, he changed the topic lightly.

"Well……"

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Xian was a constant source of disturbance in the court. He had fought against Empress Wu several times in succession. He did not hide his point of view, although he never spoke, his slight nod undoubtedly gave an affirmative answer.

"If it was in the past, I would have this self-confidence, but it is different now. If there is no effective help, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe!"

What Li Xian wanted was Liu Rengui's expression. Seeing Liu Rengui nodded, Li Xian immediately showed a bitter expression on his face, and shook his head and sighed.

"Why did Your Highness say such a thing?"

Rao Liu Rengui was calm by nature, but he was a little dazed by Li Xian's going around like this, and he was completely caught in the rhythm of Li Xian's conversation without knowing it. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked questions in a hurry.

"Liu Xiang asked well. The queen's mother is honored in the court, and the power is devoted to the court, while the king of Yue looks at the wolf and cares about the wolf. This is a court structure that has never existed since ancient times. The reason why this palace can still support it is that there are no grandfathers and other things. The love of the minister, always supporting me in times of crisis, is why I am able to maintain it today. If the pattern remains the same, no matter how difficult it is, I will be fearless. But this time Gao met and assassinated, the pattern has been broken. Uncle's self-defense is already weak, and the reunion with his mother is just around the corner, and the sorrow of the sixth brother may repeat itself. In this critical situation, only Liu Xiang can save this palace from fire and water!"

Li Xian briefly analyzed the trend of the court situation. In the end, he issued an invitation very clearly. His words were full of sincerity. What he said was generally true, but not without reservations. The biggest arm wrestling in the hall was not the support of the courtiers, but the huge prestige and strong strength he possessed in the army. This was the root cause why Empress Wu did not dare to deal with Li Xian in the same way as the previous two princes.

"Your Highness has a false reputation. I am old and dying, just like a candle in the wind. It is really embarrassing and useful."

In fact, Liu Rengui didn't have much contact with Li Xian. Speaking of it, it was only the short half a year after Li Xian came back from Hexi. This is exactly the reason why Liu Rengui was willing to help Li Xian in the dark. But when it comes to acting, Liu Rengui still has a lot of worries. After all, he is no longer a young man. There is not much time left, and after the few days are passed in an orderly manner, the reputation of a loyal minister and good minister can be securely obtained. If Li Xian is employed, accidents and twists and turns will be hard to say, Liu Rengui thought from the bottom of his heart If you don't want to have a situation where you can't guarantee it at the end of the day, it is inevitable to evade it.

"Liu Xiang, according to your old opinion, if the father and the emperor have such a day, will the mother and the queen return to the palace?"

Facing Liu Rengui's evasion, Li Xian did not stalk him, but changed the topic again.

"This... it should be so."

Liu Rengui really couldn't keep up with Li Xian's jumping thinking. After a long while, he replied in an uncertain tone.

"Should? Hahaha... There are many things that should be done in the world, but this is the only thing that I can't say. I can affirm that the queen mother has absolutely no intention of returning to the government. A conspiracy to usurp the throne will definitely be launched!"

As soon as Liu Rengui's words fell, Li Xian burst out laughing loudly. After laughing wildly for a long time, his complexion suddenly turned cold, and he definitely made a somewhat shocking assertion.

"what……"

Li Xian's words were really shocking. Even Liu Rengui was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he couldn't help being frightened, his eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded and speechless.

"Liu Xiang doesn't believe it, hehe, I don't want to believe it either, but this is the truth! There is no family affection in the heart of the empress mother. She is cruel and ruthless, killing people like mowing grass. There are queens, concubines Xiao Shu, and grandson Wuji in front of them." , Shangguanyi and other princes, and later there are eldest brother, fifth brother, sixth brother and other princes, and it will not be a day before I want to kill my palace. To tell the truth, Liu Xiang, whoever plots to assassinate my palace several times will be the place to go in the future Pai, the fault is that I still have a skill, and I will die early and have no land, and given his wolf nature, there is no possibility of returning to the government!"

Li Xian sneered, and mercilessly revealed the insidiousness and viciousness behind Empress Wu's dignity, pointing out the most severe future in the changing regime.

"This this……"

The more Liu Rengui listened, the more startled he became. Not only was he shocked by the facts described by Li Xian, but he also understood Li Xian's determination to bring himself under his command. He said frankly, in other words, if Liu Rengui refused to submit, what was waiting for him would no longer be Li Xian's recruitment, but a blood-stained knife, and his heart was completely panicked. Group, at a loss as to how to deal with it.

"Liu Xiang was born in a bitter cold, but he can become a minister and assistant minister. It is natural for him to be highly talented and educated, but it is not inevitable. The root is traced to the source. Only loyal ears. The former emperor Taizong often said that you are a direct minister. , the expectations are very high, and the father and the emperor always rely on him, so the palace is also looking forward to it. If the monarch and his ministers can be united, the important officials of the four dynasties will be a model for future generations, and it is natural to be worthy of the Taimiao. Fish or meat?"

The hinted threat is said as soon as it is said, and it is absolutely impossible to make a fuss here, otherwise, it will have a bad effect. On this point, Li Xian obviously handled it very well. The set of temptations.

"Oh, Your Highness is trying to put an old minister on fire!"

Li Xian had run out of pros and cons, Liu Rengui had nothing else to say, other than shaking his head and smiling wryly, he really didn't know how to respond.

"As the saying goes: True gold is not afraid of fire, and Liu Xiang is the mainstay of our Tang Dynasty. At this critical moment for the survival of the country, apart from Liu Xiang, I really don't know who else I can rely on. I also ask Mr. Liu to help me!"

Liu Rengui's words sounded like he was burying him, but in fact he had already agreed to Li Xianzhi's request. With Li Xian's IQ, he could understand it immediately. , bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, you can't kill the old minister. Please hurry up, please hurry up, and the old minister will be handed over to His Highness for disposal!"

Liu Rengui is a great Confucian, with orthodox thinking in his heart, how could he dare to accept Li Xian's big gift, he jumped up hastily, then hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, clearly expressing his intention to serve Li Xian .

"Okay! With the help of Mr. Liu, I have nothing to fear!"

After going around for so long, and finally got Liu Rengui under his command, the excitement in Li Xian's heart is needless to say, he clapped his hands and confidently uttered bold words.

"Your Highness is over-reputed. The old minister is very old. He was originally a man who was bought by Huangtu. It is really a blessing for three lives to be able to assist such talents as His Highness when he is old. I should die as a reward."

Liu Rengui was a decisive person, and since he had decided to join Li Xian's command, he expressed his attitude without any ambiguity.

"Okay, I will keep Liu Gong's words in mind, and never dare to bear them!"

Li Xian stood up, walked in front of Liu Rengui with a big stride, stretched out his hand to help Liu Rengui who was kneeling on the ground, and sincerely made a promise.

"Your Highness..."

No matter when Li Xian was the prince or when he was the prince, he was a radiant figure. Although Liu Rengui didn't have much contact with Li Xian, he knew quite a lot about Li Xian, so he knew how Li Xian was. Hearing Li Xian made such a promise, his mood unavoidably fluctuated violently, and he was choked with sobs not knowing what to say.

"Liu Gong, come on, sit down and tell me, did you come here today because of the case of Caizhou?"

Li Xian personally supported Liu Rengui to sit down. Just now, he turned to the other side, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and asked with a smile.

"That's true. This case is full of doubts. I'm afraid it's not like what Caizhou Inspector Liu said. The case is so serious that veterans dare not specialize in it. I don't know what your Highness can teach veterans?"

After all, Liu Rengui was an old official. Although his mood was still agitated, his expression immediately became serious when he talked about serious matters.
