Chapter 621: The Battle of the Grain Depot (2)

"Chongyan still has a lot to think about, so he said, this palace listens."

There is no one in this world who wants to get rid of Li Xian more than Empress Wu, don't look at the relationship between the two is mother and son, but in fact, in the mind of Empress Wu, Li Xian is just an obstacle to her reaching the pinnacle of power, or the biggest obstacle, if it can be removed in one fell swoop, Empress Wu will not have a trace of softness, but unfortunately since always, Empress Wu has never been able to find such a good opportunity, dozens of battles, Empress Wu has never taken advantage of a star and a half, but frequently in Li Xian's hands, which makes Empress Wu grit his teeth when he thinks of Li Xian, This time she had just suffered a big loss, and Empress Wu was eager to turn the situation back, but she thought about it for a while, and she couldn't think of what Ming Chongyan said about "focusing on the other side", so she had no choice but to groan and pick up the topic.

"Granary!"

Empress Wu is strict, and his own aura is also big, ordinary officials have always been trembling in front of Empress Wu for fear of something wrong, but Ming Chongyan is an exception, he has always had something to say, and rarely has scruples, but at this moment, facing the inquiring gaze of Empress Wu, Ming Chongyan was rarely cautious, and after being silent for a long time, he squeezed out two words from the depths of his throat.

"Grain depot? How sure can Chongyan be in this move? ”

As soon as he heard the word "grain depot", Empress Wu's eyes lit up, but soon it dimmed again, his face was full of complicated expressions, as if he had some scruples, but what Empress Wu cared about was not the safety of hundreds of thousands of victims who had no food or clothing, but was worried that the attack on the grain depot could not be reconciled, and what he was afraid of was that the tail of his hand could not be completely erased.

"Half to half."

Ming Chongyan dared to mention this matter, since he had already calculated the risks, and when he heard the question of Empress Wu at this time, he answered without thinking.

"Is it only fifty percent? Hmmm......"

Empress Wu can ignore the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of victims, but she can't ignore Gaozong's reaction after the matter is revealed, and this is only fifty percent sure of the success, so she can't help but hesitate, and she doesn't dare to make a decision easily.

"Niang Niang Mingjian, although the certainty of success is only fifty percent, but Weichen has a way to make this matter not troublesome."

There is an inextricable mortal enmity between Ming Chongyan and Li Xian, and he doesn't want to see Li Xian have the slightest hope of rising, seeing that Empress Wu is hesitating there, the evil thoughts in his heart suddenly arise, so he stepped forward and added in a low voice.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Empress Wu is only worried about being implicated in herself, as for whether hundreds of thousands of lives will be lost because of this, it is not in the scope of Empress Wu's consideration, at this time, as soon as she heard that Ming Chongyan had a way to deal with the aftermath, Empress Wu Ke came to the spirit, and hurriedly asked.

"Niangniang, this matter is not difficult, just ......"

Seeing that the Empress Wu was already moved, Ming Chongyan immediately became excited, took a small step forward again, and whispered softly and elaborated the method that he had already thought of.

"Well, okay, it's decided, this matter will be overwhelmed, and let's go and prepare."

Empress Wu carefully chewed the method that Ming Chongyan said, and did not find anything wrong with it, so she no longer hesitated, gritted her teeth, and made a decision.

"Don't worry, Weichen knows what to do, without further ado, Weichen will leave first."

Seeing Li Xian deflated, it was Ming Chongyan's greatest wish, at this time, seeing that the martial arts queen had made up his mind, the excitement in Ming Chongyan's heart was needless to say, so he hurriedly responded, withdrew from the study, hurriedly walked out of the palace, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

"See Father!"

"See the prince."

……

It was almost evening, but it was not yet the time to hold the lamp, and the light in the study was inevitably a little dim, but the people gathered in the study obviously didn't care, and they all talked about it excitedly, until the figure of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, appeared at the door, and everyone stopped arguing, got up in a hurry, and each saluted respectfully.

"Well, sit down."

After a busy day, Li Zhen was obviously a little tired, and her steps were a little sluggish, but her spirit was still good.

"Father Xie (Wangye)!"

Li Zhen has always been kind, but he himself is very particular about the rules, and everyone did not dare to be rude in front of him, and they each thanked him respectfully, and then they sat down.

"You have been discussing it so much before, I think you should know about today's events, and this king won't talk much nonsense, let's talk about it, and where will this situation go now?"

Li Zhen has always had a habit, that is, every time there is a major event, he will gather his henchmen to discuss it, even if he himself has a fixed opinion in his heart, he will not act arbitrarily, this time Li Xian has repeatedly hit hard, which has affected the trend of the court situation, which is naturally a big thing, Li Zhen naturally wants to listen to what the audience has to deal with this.

"Father, before you came, the child and others were also discussing this matter, according to the child's opinion, the rise of the East Palace this time has been completed, the court situation or will be divided into two, the confrontation situation is a success, in my Yue Wangfu, it is a good opportunity to forge ahead, and it is also possible to slowly figure out!"

Li Chong was born with an urgency, he couldn't hide things in his heart, whenever there was a discussion, he always took the lead, and at this time he was no exception, Li Zhen's voice had just fallen, and he was already impatient to express his opinion.

"Well, what does Qian'er think about the current situation?"

Li Chong has been in the officialdom for a long time over the years, and his knowledge is higher than when he first arrived in the Eastern Capital, and after some analysis, he is also the first to be the way, which is quite impressive, but it is obviously not completely in line with Li Zhen's opinion, but Li Zhen did not rush to comment on Li Chong's analysis, but threw the same question to the second son Li Qian.

"Father, the child thinks that although what the eldest brother said is right, but the matter is not yet conclusive, the one in the palace has never been a master who is willing to suffer, this time he was beaten by the East Palace coldly, and he will never find it back, once he makes a move with anger, it will be a thunderbolt, and it will not be easy for the East Palace to carry it!"

Li Qian had a very good relationship with Li Chong in the early years, but in recent years, as she grew older, she gradually had ambitions in her heart, and she was careful about Li Chong's status as the son, and from time to time she wanted to say goodbye to Li Chong.

"Ridiculous, the second brother has repeatedly said that the one in the palace will fight back, just ask what should be the way to fight back, and now that the emperor's edict has been issued, the tone has been set, and there is nothing to fight back, even if you want to fight back, it will be a later story, if it is really at that time, isn't it a good opportunity for me to move and borrow strength from the Yue Wangfu?"

Li Chong's temperament is anxious, but people are not stupid, he will not fail to see that Li Qian has signs of competing with himself for favor, and he will spare no effort to hit Li Qian, Li Zhen has not yet spoken, he has already unceremoniously reprimanded him.

"Big brother, that's not what I said, with the temperament of the person in the palace, how can he swallow his anger, there must be unexpected twists and turns in this matter!"

Although Li Qian is considered a smart person, but his wisdom can only be said to be a smart person among ordinary people, and he is 108,000 miles away from the level of the world's wise man, and it is impossible to guess the way of the martial queen's calculation, and it is obviously beyond his ability to tell how the martial queen will fight back, but he never wants to lose to Li Chong in the debate, especially when his father is present at this time, Li Qian can't afford to lose, but seeing that his eyes rolled slightly, he has already played a trick of avoiding the important and light.

"Lie to you, you ......"

Before Li Zhen returned, the brothers were already fighting for a bit of a taste, Li Chong, who thought that he was a nobleman, was extremely dissatisfied with Li Qian's repeated provocation of his own authority, and when he saw Li Qian playing a rogue trick, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, his eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, and he was about to go crazy on the spot.

"Ahem."

Li Zhen is a scheming person, and he knows the open and secret battles between the two sons, but he never stops it, just because this is the fate of the children of the heavenly family, and it is a matter of course for the big waves to sweep the sand, of course, Li Zhen didn't want the two sons to make too much trouble, and seeing that Li Chong was already out of control, he immediately coughed twice and stopped the argument between the two sons.

"Father, the child is rude, but this matter is very important, don't be careful, the child thinks that I should sit and watch at this time, and wait for the dust to settle."

Li Chong's experience in the court over the years is indeed not in vain, although the anger in his heart is still burning, but when he heard Li Zhen's cough, he was able to quickly calm down, bowed to Li Zhen, and respectfully reported a word.

"Well, for my father, I know what I think, do you have any ideas?"

Li Zhen admired Li Chong's growth, but he didn't say much, nodded with a smile, and then threw the problem to the youngest fourth son, Li Gui.

"Back to his father's words, the child thinks that the eldest brother and the second brother have their own reasons, and everything is up to the decision of the father, and the child has no objection."

Li Gui and Li Qian have always been in love, but the relationship with Li Chong is not bad, mixed between the two brothers, they are quite embarrassed, and they really don't want to easily express their own opinions, but the old father has a question, but he can't help but answer, and in desperation, he can only answer vaguely.

"Huh?"

The reason why Li Zhen has to discuss every major event is not that he himself has no big opinions, but the real purpose is to train his sons and cultivate the ability of their sons to think independently, there is no doubt that Li Gui's vague response cannot satisfy him, his brows are furrowed, and his face will inevitably become ugly.

Li Zhenping rarely gets angry, but once the fire starts, it is not trivial, at this time, his face has just drooped, and the temperature in the study suddenly became much colder, and Li Gui, who bore the brunt of the problem, couldn't help but shiver, and had to turn his eyes on his brother-in-law Pei Shoude for help.

"Lord, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter, if the son-in-law expects it well, I'm afraid that the East Palace will be annoyed!"

Pei Shoude has always thought that he is the first thinker of the Yue Wangfu family, and has always shown a detached face, and he is unwilling to participate in the open and secret battles of the princes, when Li Chong and the brothers were arguing endlessly, he maintained a silent posture and watched, allowing the two sons to quarrel enough, if Li Zhen didn't ask, he didn't plan to make a statement in a hurry, but he couldn't sit back and watch Li Gui, the brother-in-law, suffer, otherwise, I was afraid that I would have to be talked about by the yellow-faced woman at home for a few days, and I had no choice but to smile bitterly, Interrupted from the side.
