Chapter 277: The Turmoil of the Vassal Domain (3)
This day finally came, although as early as the trial of Helan Min's case, Li Xian had expected that there might be such a situation, but when such a pattern of public criticism really appeared, Li Xian still couldn't help but feel a little depressed and anxious, but Li Xian never regretted it, even if there was a chance to start over, Li Xian would never have the slightest intention of changing course, everything was for only one thing, that is, to defeat the old thief woman of the martial queen.
It is true that regret will not be regretted, but if you don't regret it, it is all idealistic, and it is really impossible to solve the dilemma you are facing at the moment, which Li Xian has in his heart - with the collapse of the forces of the Empress Wu, the prince is already in power, it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, and there is no room in his eyes, perhaps in his heart, he no longer regards the Empress Wu as the biggest threat, but he has a heart for Li Xian and Li Xian brothers, otherwise, he will not put forward the of "the barrier of the country", Obviously, it is impossible to expect the prince's subordinates to show mercy, as for the Empress Wu, the attitude is ambiguous, although he has not made a clear statement, but secretly he is adding fuel to the fire, playing the trick of killing people with a knife, such a two-sided attack is a situation, leaving Li Xian with little room to maneuver, how to deal with this situation has become a difficult problem in front of Li Xian.
Headache, headache, really headache, Li Xian's low-key some time ago is to avoid the emergence of such a worst situation, the idea is undoubtedly good, but unfortunately the reality is cruel, in the face of the prince is so impatient, Li Xian is really a little helpless, more is deeply worried - the inaction of the Empress Wu or the secret connivance only shows one thing, that is, the Empress Wu's intention to get rid of the prince has been decided, and the action is imminent, maybe Li Xian and the others will go to the domain, and the prince's death will come, and this is obviously not the result that Li Xian is willing to accept, Because if the crown prince dies suddenly, and all the princes are outside, it will only be the Empress Wu who will be cheaper, even if Li Xian enters the East Palace because of it, under the unstable foundation, it will be absolutely difficult to curb the Empress Wu's ambitions, and the situation may deteriorate to an unimaginable point.
"Your Royal Highness, Zhang Che and Gonggong Zhang are here, saying that His Royal Highness King Lu has prepared a banquet, just wait for His Royal Highness to go and have a drink."
When Li Xian was pondering alone, he saw Gao Miao tiptoe into the study, cautiously approached Li Xian's side, and whispered a word.
"When I returned, I said I was lonely and tired and didn't want to move."
Li Xianzheng was upset, and when he heard the word "drinking", he was a little angry, and he didn't even bother to raise his head, raised his hand, and snorted impatiently.
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
Gao Miao didn't know why Li Xian was bothered, but when he saw that Li Xian's complexion was wrong, how dare he say more, he responded carefully, took three steps back, and was about to go out as soon as he turned around.
"Slow!"
Without waiting for Gao Miao to walk to the screen, Li Xian had already changed his mind, Huo Ran got up, lowered his head and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then glanced at Gao Miao, who had retreated to the side, bit his lip and said: "Go and reply, just say that you are lonely and tired, and the matter of drinking will be postponed until the evening. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will do it."
Gao Miao didn't ask the reason, bowed down and answered the promise, withdrew from the study, and went to handle the things Li Xian explained without mentioning it......
"Your Highness has seen Your Highness."
Di Renjie arrived quickly, not long after Gao Miao left, Di Renjie had already marched into the study, this time seeing Li Xian who was holding his chin and pondering, Di Renjie was slightly stunned at first, and then walked forward with a smile, and greeted him politely.
"Di Gong is here, please take a seat."
Hearing the sound, Li Xian looked up and saw that it was Di Renjie who had arrived, raised his eyebrows, smiled and made a "please" gesture, and motioned for Di Renjie to sit opposite him.
"Your Highness's mind doesn't seem to be light, but I don't know what makes Your Highness so embarrassed?"
Di Renjie didn't say much politeness to Li Xian, and after thanking him, he immediately lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, glanced at Li Xian meaningfully, stroked the long beard on his chest, and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's really called Di Gong right, Lone is having a headache at this time, Di Gong is helping Gu to think about it for a moment or two, see how to deal with this matter properly, hmm, this matter has to start with today's polo game......"
Li Xian has always been suspicious of employing people, and suspects are not needed, since he has chosen Di Renjie as a think tank, there is nothing to say, except for the ambiguous matter between Empress Wu and Ming Chongyan, which is too sensational and difficult to say, all other matters are said, even what he thinks and thinks is not concealed at all.
"Well, I see."
Although Di Renjie has now been promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he can barely be regarded as a member of the court, but he is not qualified to accompany him - today's polo match, although Di Renjie also arrived, but he stayed with a group of courtiers in a colorful shed next to the emperor to watch the ball, and he didn't know anything about the strange things that happened in the attic. Seeing this, Li Xian's heart sank a little more, but he didn't rush to ask what was going on, just sat silently, waiting for Di Renjie to give an opinion.
"Things are a little difficult, but it's not impossible, it depends on what His Highness wants."
Di Renjie pondered for a long time, then nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows, and laughed.
"Oh? Di Gong means ......"
Li Xianzheng was extremely entangled, and when he saw that Di Renjie seemed to have an opinion, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked a question.
"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, Di thinks that the key to this matter has to fall on His Majesty's mind, if His Royal Highness has an accident, then he might as well have a discussion with the prince in court, and he can get what he wants, otherwise, His Highness has only one choice - wait!" Di Renjie didn't sell it, and gave two answers straightforwardly.
"Oh? Wait? ”
Although Li Xian has always been wise, he was a little unable to turn his mind at this time, and looked at Di Renjie in a daze, his eyes full of doubt.
"Yes, Di thinks that at this time, it is the best policy to wait and see how it changes, His Royal Highness has been sick for more than a month, but it is not bad for a few days, it is better to rest for a few more days, there are still seven days before the next morning dynasty, Your Highness and sit and watch the wind and clouds fade."
Di Renjie is a cautious person, and it involves the emperor's thoughts, he doesn't want to make things too clear, but just mentions a few words lightly, leaving some blank space, and letting Li Xian figure it out by himself.
"Well, Xiao Wang understands, Di Gong is really the son of Lonely, okay, Lone played ball and injured his body, he should be sick for a few days, hahaha......" Li Xian is not an ordinary person in the end, after thinking about it carefully, he has understood the hidden meaning of Di Renjie's words, and the knot in his heart was untied in an instant......
The prince's position is noble, but if you go to the domain, then it is a little worthless, no one will care more about a prince who is a feudal prince, unless the prince dies early, or receives a report of misdeeds from the princes of the domain, otherwise, the princes in the court are afraid that they will not save a lot of princes who have already taken up the domain, even if the prince is more virtuous and capable in the court, but it is all in vain, this is the unique characteristic of the feudal system, there is no doubt that the prince intends to let Li Xian, Li Xian, the two adult princes, go to be the prince, It also saves the whole day price in the court to sway in the hall, this kind of thinking is not good, but it is difficult to achieve, even if Li Hong thinks that he has basically controlled the court situation, but he still does not dare to say that he is sure of victory, however, in the face of the temptation of monopolizing the court, Li Hong does not want to wait for a moment, as soon as he returns to the East Palace, he summoned Yan Liben and Le Yanwei, two henchmen, into the study of the East Palace alone, and urgently discussed secretly.
"Yan Xiang, Le Xiang, today's things are all seen, the two younger brothers in the palace are energetic, and now there are not many affairs in the court, idle the talents of the two virtuous kings, the palace is very unbearable, according to Gu's view, I am afraid that it is not good to add some burdens, one is to use it, and the other can also benefit the people, but it is also a suitable thing, I don't know if the two Aiqing have any opinions on this?" Just like Li Xian trusts Di Renjie, Li Hong also trusts Yan and Le, and does not hide his thoughts at all.
"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for saying bluntly, this matter is important, you must not act blindly, if there is a slight mistake, the disaster is not small, be careful, be cautious."
Yan and Le are both present today, and they will not be unclear about Li Hong's thoughts, and they know that if this matter can really be done, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Li Hong to dominate the court alone, but both of them are older than the Huan Hai, and they have seen a lot of the court, and they don't think that this matter can go smoothly, so at the polo match, the two did not rashly say that it was in line with Li Hong's opinion, of course, it is impossible to refute it on the spot, but they each repeatedly calculated in their hearts how likely this matter is. The answer was not as optimistic as Li Hong thought, originally the two of them were still thinking of privately looking for an opportunity to advise on this matter, but now seeing that Li Hong couldn't wait to poke the matter out, although it was a question, in fact, the mind was generally decided, the two couldn't help but be a little caught off guard and panicked, after glancing at each other, Yan Liben took the lead in opening his mouth and cautiously admonished.
"Yan Xiang is very worried, Lone will be cautious and do it, however, it seems that it is even more undesirable to waste food because of choking, sooner or later the matter should be decided, according to Lone's opinion, it is better to hurry up than to be late, what can the two Aiqing teach me?" Li Hong and his faction humbly echoed a sentence, and then the conversation changed, directly skipped the question of whether it should be or not, and asked how to go above, as soon as this resolute statement came out, Yan and Le couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know where to start for a while, so they all closed their mouths and pondered silently......
