Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 789 Three-Party Calculations (2)

Seeing that it was almost New Year's Eve, the snow was heavy and the weather was extremely cold, but it did not hinder the people's enthusiasm for preparing for the new year. Naturally, the East Palace was no exception. There were lights and festoons everywhere, a festive atmosphere, but the study room was Another scene, although not so cold, was quite depressing. Neither Li Xian nor the two counselors, Di and Zhang, had any desire to speak. They all sat silently, as if expecting something.

"See Your Highness."

Near noon, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zhuang Yong, who was dressed as a guard of the Eastern Palace, had turned around from behind the screen. When he saw Li Xian who was sitting high on the head, he rushed forward and respectfully paid respects.

"No, just sit down and talk."

Li Xian waited all morning for the news from Zhuang Yong. It is inevitable to be anxious, but Li Xian didn't show it, but called out in a peaceful voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhuang Yong is a very cautious person. After thanking him, he did not take his seat, but bowed his body and said, "His Highness, General Ge Gong of the Habayashi Army had a secret talk with Pei Shoude at three o'clock in the morning. After two hours, I hurried back to the palace. Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager suddenly ordered that Shengshang be moved to Lishui Xuan, and all the eunuchs and maids were replaced. The inside and outside have been completely isolated. Knowing the details of the dragon body, the subordinates have ordered to do everything possible, but it is hard to say whether it will work, and the subordinates really dare not make judgments."

"Well, Master Zhuang has worked hard, let's go down and rest first."

After Li Xian listened to Zhuang Yong's report quietly, he didn't express anything special. He just pondered for a while and waved his hand to signal Zhuang Yong to step back first.

"promise."

As the head of the intelligence department, Zhuang Yong knew the rules very well. As soon as Li Xian's words fell, he respectfully responded, turned and left the study.

"What do you guys think about this?"

After Zhuang Yong withdrew, Li Xian did not speak in a hurry, but stretched out two fingers, tapped the copywriting rhythmically, and meditated silently for a long time. Finally, he raised his head solemnly and glanced at Xia Di. The two counselors, Zhang and Zhang, asked calmly.

"Your Highness, that fellow Ge Gong must have given the imperial edict of the governor of Tangzhou to the King of Yue today. His intention was only to divert our attention, and his focus must still be in Luoyang City. Therefore, I don't think there is any need to dance with it. Of course Tangzhou needs land, but with Li Wen's ability, it will take a few years to get things done, so what can we do if we let it go, we must act cautiously now."

With Zhang Jianzhi's wisdom, he would not fail to smell the extremely strong taste of conspiracy in this matter, but he obviously didn't think he should follow the other party's pace. In his opinion, Luoyang was the main battlefield, and it was just a matter of fact. It was very important, but Zhang Jianzhi did not dare to easily give a specific solution.

"Ah."

Zhang Jianzhi's answer can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. Naturally, it does not satisfy Li Xian. It is not for other reasons. It is only because Li Xian is also a master of scheming. Naturally, he can see the conspiracy behind Empress Wu's play. It's just that Li Xian is not as optimistic as Zhang Jianzhi—yes, Li Wen is indeed a mediocre talent. With his ability, even with the help of capable subordinates, if he wants to really hold Tangzhou in his hands The problem is that the king of Yue has no intention of actually running Tangzhou at all. What he wants is a passage. As long as Tangzhou has someone to cooperate, Xiangzhou's army will Then you can rush to Luoyang without hindrance.

Xiangzhou is an upper state. According to the system, there should be [-] state troops, but the actual situation is not the case. As far as Li Xian knows, Xiangzhou already has more than [-] state troops on the surface, let alone King Yue privately. There are still tens of thousands of necks that have been trained, and counting Caizhou's soldiers, the total strength should be [-]. These are all elites. An army of tens of thousands is absolutely a piece of cake. Once so many soldiers and horses get into trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable, let alone the cooperation of Luoyang City with the freak army of the Habayashi Army. Next, the catastrophe of overthrowing the nest is just around the corner!
"Do you have any advice, Mr. Di?"

Although he was not very satisfied with Zhang Jianzhi's answer, Li Xian did not show it. Instead, he turned his gaze to Di Renjie and asked in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness, I believe that the key to the matter lies in the dragon body of the Holy One."

Di Renjie obviously didn't agree with Zhang Jianzhi's opinion, but Di Renjie didn't dare to be too clear about how to deal with it, so he could only point out the key points.

Di Renjie's words are quite true. If he could know Gaozong's real condition, Li Xian would not have such a headache--in a word, time is the key to the matter. If Gaozong really died, Li Xian would have countless This method can safely get through this calamity, even if the Queen's Party and the King of Yue join hands to rebel, Li Xian is sure of everything, but if Gaozong can delay it for a year or so, things will be tricky, just sit and watch It is certainly impossible for Tangzhou to fall into the hands of the King of Yue's family, but it is also impossible to act blindly. Once some flaws are revealed, Gaozong, who has long been suspicious of Li Xian, will definitely fall to Empress Wu's side completely. Apart from playing "Change of Xuanwumen", Li Xian probably has no other way to go.

"I haven't seen my father for some time. I'm afraid it's hard to know the root of the current situation. Today, since the empress mother has arranged it like this, there must be something strange in it. From my point of view, it should be a strategy of combining fiction and reality. If you just sit back and ignore it, either the king of Yue will be in danger, or the rear party will take this opportunity to blame Jiangdong, and we must be cautious in dealing with it, but we must not be timid!"

Li Xian thought about it silently, but still felt that he couldn't sit still and wait for death, so he decided to play "Xuanwu Gate Change".

"This……"

"Well……"

Di and Zhang are both wise men in the world, and they have been with Li Xian for a long time. Although Li Xian never said it clearly, the two knew that Li Xian was going to play hard. They were both a little startled and looked at each other After taking a look, they both saw a deep worry in the other party's eyes.

"Your Highness, perhaps we haven't reached that point yet. In my view, this matter should not be ignored. However, it is still necessary to be more cautious. It would be safer if we divide the matter into three steps."

After all, Di Renjie's mind was more agile than Zhang Jianzhi's. Although he was startled, he soon came back to his senses, stroked his long beard on his chest, and muttered admonishment.

"Please also ask Mr. Di to speak clearly."

The harm of the "Xuanwu Gate Change" is too great. If it can not be implemented, Li Xian is unwilling to move lightly. Hearing that Di Renjie has other methods, it is only natural to be moved by it. This is urgent He rushed to speak and asked.

"Since the crux of the matter lies in the illness of the Holy Majesty, we should first focus on it. Apart from Your Highness, I am afraid that no one else can do it. This is the first; , the affairs of Longguan and Youzhou can be operated according to this, in case of emergencies; thirdly, since Tangzhou is an obvious trap, why not plan it out, maybe you can get something else."

Di Renjie is worthy of being a veteran in solving cases, with a strong logical reasoning ability, and he has already explained clearly the way to deal with it in a few words.

"That's right, it should be so. I think brother Huaiying's words are the way to seek the country."

As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, before Li Xian could say something, Zhang Jianzhi had already spoken in agreement.

"Forget it, I'll go for a walk tonight to see if it's real or not!" Since both Di and Zhang disagreed with the "Change of Xuanwu Gate", Li Xian didn't insist any more. After thinking about it silently, He nodded and agreed with the two people's suggestions, and then raised his voice and shouted: "Come here."

"The servant is here."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, didn't dare to delay in the slightest, walked into the room quickly, and hurriedly responded.

"Go, Xuanzhuang Yong will see you immediately."

Li Xian didn't talk too much nonsense, and gave the order directly.

"No, servant girl will go now."

Now that Li Xian had given the order, Gao Miao dared not neglect to go, he respectfully agreed, and hurriedly left the study, not long after, he came in again with Zhuang Yong.

"See Your Highness."

In fact, Zhuang Yong didn't go far, he was resting in the side hall of Ganlu Hall. Hearing the summons, he arrived quickly. As soon as he saw Li Xian's face, he hurried to the front and respectfully paid respects. .

"Forget it, pass on the order of my palace, 'Ming Di' will be fully mobilized from now on, and all people in Yuewang's mansion and Qixia Temple will be watched by me. If there is any change, I will report it immediately. In addition, Longguan , Xiangzhou, Youzhou, Lanzhou and other sub-rudders have also entered a first-level combat readiness state, ready to respond at any time, remember?"

Li Xian waved his hand, and issued a series of orders with a serious expression.

"No, this subordinate understands!"

Even though Li Xian never said it clearly, Zhuang Yong knew that it was the time for the decisive battle, and his mind froze instantly, but he didn't dare to reveal the slightest thing, he just replied respectfully.

"Well, let's go."

What should be explained to the left and right has already been explained, and Li Xian didn't leave Zhuang Yong too much. He waved his hand and pushed him away, but he himself sat at the head and fell into silent contemplation. They all sat silently by the side, and the study suddenly became quiet... Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch, not to mention the deep silence in the East Palace study, but the Yue Palace. In the study room, the same faction was lifeless, but it was not that no one was there. In fact, the study room was full of people, not only Yue Wang Li Zhen, but also Li Chong, Chen Wushuang and other direct descendants of Yue Wangfu. However, no one had the intention to speak, and they all sat still like wooden sculptures of clay. A tense atmosphere hovered and spread in the study, so depressing that people felt a feeling of breathless heart palpitations, until there was a rush of palpitations. The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, which broke the unbearable deadlock, and the eyes of everyone in the room swept over to the screen in an instant.
