Why? Hey, you don't know what this means, it's weird, don't show some sincerity, want to empty gloves white wolf? There are no doors! Li Xian is very shrewd, how can he not guess what Li Hong is thinking in his heart, he just doesn't want to see Li Xian's power, let alone see the existence of the alliance of the two kings, but there is something strange to speak of, it is true that Li Xian wants to help Li Hong do a good job in the matter of the river work, but this does not mean that Li Xian wants to be a "Yang Bailao", there is not enough exchange of interests, even if Li Xianken, Li Xian at the other end will not be willing to go, it is really troublesome, and if the river work is not good, it is really possible to cheapen the Wuhou party in vain.

"Brother Mingjian, the ancients have clouds: the virtuous do not avoid relatives, the younger brother is just according to the gourd to draw the scoop, hehe, like the Song Dynasty, in the minister's house in the master Bo has been three years, loyal and sincere, diligent, to no mistakes, hard work, and now the transfer of Dali Temple to Dali Cheng, but it is just a slight mention of the level, when it can not be over-promoted, and then there is, He Longqi people, in the minister's brother's mansion to record the record of joining the army has also been full of three years, since the release of the official, now there are vacancies in the criminal department, flat transfer in the past, it seems that there is no impropriety, all kinds here, If this is the case, the younger brother will not list them all, I think that the prince's brother will definitely fulfill the younger brother. Since it was talking about business, Li Xian was naturally not afraid of Li Hong's anger, and said lightly that he really had the posture of using the official position of the imperial court as cabbage to buy and sell.

Fulfill? Li Hong was simply made laughing and crying by Li Xian's relaxed tone, that's right, Li Xian's requirements for such official positions are not very prominent, at most they can only be regarded as middle and lower-level officials, for Li Hong, who holds the power of the ministry, it is just a gesture, the question is that under such a consummation, isn't it a big increase in the momentum of the two kings, and there is inevitably a suspicion of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, how can Li Hong be willing to do such a stupid thing, but when he sees Li Xian's appearance, if he doesn't agree, It's really hard to expect Li Xian to make concessions on the river work, which of the two is more important, and Li Hong can't think about it again.

"Seventh brother, it will be early in two days, but I don't know how the seventh brother plans to operate in the matter of river work?" Li Hong thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to inquire about the river work, planning to listen to Li Xian's plan first, and then make another calculation.

"Brother Prince, rest assured, this matter is easy to hear, but the elder brother of the prince is the first to go to the book, and the younger brother and the sixth brother should be attached to the tail, forgive those villains no matter how treacherous they are, and they can't do anything strange when they are caught off guard." As for how to pass the river work excerpt in the court meeting, Li Xian naturally had already calculated, and when he heard Li Hong's question, he laughed and replied relaxedly.

"Hmm."

For Li Xian's statute, Li Hong obviously agreed, the reason is very simple, Li Xian, who took the lead in proposing the river engineering matter, and Li Xian, who was pushed out as a target by the scholars of the North Gate, agreed that Li Hong would come to take charge of this matter, Gaozong had no reason to object, and if the Empress Wu did not have a proper preparation, there would be no way to compete with the three kings in the court, which Li Hong had thought of before, and what was uncertain was whether the Li Xian brothers would go back on this matter and ambush them, therefore, Even if Li Xian was telling the truth, Li Hong was not in a hurry to express his position, but just said noncommittally, and his brows were tightly knit and thoughtful.

Seeing that Li Hong did not express his position for a long time, Li Xian was not in a hurry, the initiative on this matter was in his hands, Li Xianshi did not need to be in a hurry to bluff, he didn't believe that Li Hong dared to make a mistake in such an important matter as Hegong, as for the list of officials to be promoted, Li Xian really didn't care about it, first, there were only two and a half people who were Li Xian, except for Song Xian and He Long, the other half was King Luo Bin, who was going to be the imperial history, and the rest of the people were all Li Xian's henchmen, whether they succeeded or not, It's not a big deal for Li Xian, it's just a matter of beating rabbits with grass, and it's just a matter of hand, secondly, the reason why Li Xian proposed such a quid pro quo is that the real purpose is to appease Li Hong's heart and lay a foreshadowing for the next step of darkness Chen Cang, and the real mystery here is not enough for outsiders.

"What the seventh brother said is very big, and it can be done if you allow the brother to think about it carefully and then make a calculation?" Li Hong repeatedly calculated in his heart for a long time, and he felt that he had no bottom in his heart, so he didn't dare to agree to Li Xian's request, so in desperation, he had to put forward a request to postpone.

"What the prince's brother said is very true, it is a big matter, it is appropriate to make a good living, the younger brother is not in a hurry, just wait for the news of the prince's brother, it is not too early, and allow the younger brother to retire temporarily." Li Xian knew that Li Hong had no choice, and he didn't care when Li Hong could make a decision, so he got up and resigned with a smile.

"It's okay, the seventh brother walks slowly, and I won't send it away for my brother." Li Hong was anxious to discuss with Yan and Liu, and he didn't plan to stay with Li Xian more.

"The prince's brother stayed, and the younger brother took his leave." Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that can be done has been done, Li Xianzi didn't bother to talk any more nonsense, he bowed to Li Hong with a smile, and after saluting, he turned around, exited the study, and went straight back to his own palace.

"Gong Yan and Gong Liu, according to the two Aiqing, is there anything strange about what the seventh brother said?"

Not long after Li Xiangang retreated, a partition door at the back of the study quietly moved open, Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao walked out of the compartment side by side, and stopped at Li Hong's head, but they were not in a hurry to open their mouths, but Li Hong himself opened his mouth first.

Truth and falsity is not just a matter of casual talk, you must know that the river work is extremely important, if it is really a mistake in judgment, the seriousness of the consequences is not a joke, because of this, Yan and Liu even if they already have a plan in their hearts, they dare not answer this question easily, after each glanced at each other, Liu Xiangdao took the lead in speaking: "Your Highness, can the old minister first take a look at the list of officials submitted by His Royal Highness King Zhou?" ”

"Hmm, of course, Liu Aiqing, please take a look." Li Hong originally wanted to hand over this list to Liu Xiangdao, the new secretary of the ministry, for a purpose, but at this time, he took the initiative to ask for it, and there was no reason to obey it, so he nodded and agreed, and handed the rolled paper to Liu Xiangdao, and at the end, he added: "Liu Aiqing, in your opinion, if this list is to be adjusted in place, how long will it take?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, all the positions in this are not difficult, but the position of Imperial History is a little difficult, if there is no accident, it may be possible to do it within two days." Although Liu Xiangdao is old, his eyes are good, just a quick glance, he has already gone through all the positions, and he already has confidence in his heart, so he replied unhurriedly.

"Well, that's very good." Li Hong didn't think that the transfer of such middle and low-level officials could be very difficult, but at this time, when he heard Liu Xiangdao's clear answer, he didn't pay much attention to it, and after nodding in agreement, he brought the topic back to the topic: "Two Aiqing, whether the seventh brother will be delaying the army, I am really a little uncertain in my lonely heart, and the two Aiqing will talk about it." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister thinks that although there is such a possibility, it is not big, for three reasons: first, the old minister looks at His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and his words, and it seems that he wants the river work to go smoothly, otherwise, he does not need to mention the main points of the river work of His Royal Highness; Second, since the case of the edict of last year, His Royal Highness King Zhou's actions have implied intentions for certain aspects, this article is actually in line with His Royal Highness, if they compete with each other in the court, the winner is not His Royal Highness and the two kings, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Zhou may not be willing to do it; Third, judging from the current situation, even if the two kings want to fight, they are not His Royal Highness's opponents, like His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, such a person, will not do this stupid thing of breaking the net, and asking His Highness for a compromise is inevitable, and those who ask for it are nothing more than a little compensation, just a dozen petty officials, there is really nothing to worry about, what can they do, and then they can't, in the future, find some handles to drive them out one by one, why worry about it! Yan Liben was not worried that Li Xian would be a demon in the matter of river work, he was worried that Li Xian's proposal to exchange official positions was too critical, when Liu Xiangdao was looking at the list of officials before, Yan Liben also glanced at it, and saw that they were all small sesame officials, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Your Highness, the old minister thinks what Yan Shangshu said is very true, and the old minister has no objection." Liu Xiangdao still had some doubts in his heart, and he always felt that this matter was not so simple, but at this time, hearing Yan Liben say it so surely, it was not good for him to raise any more objections, so he carefully echoed a sentence.

"Well, in that case, then it can be regarded as taking what you need, so you can send someone to talk to the seventh brother." Li Hong thought about it carefully, and also felt that Yan Liben's analysis was very reasonable, and the stakes were very important, and he didn't want to delay too much, so he made up his mind and took action immediately.

"Your Highness, wait, don't do this in this matter." As soon as Li Hong's voice fell, Yan Li was already busy speaking to stop him.

"Well, why did Yan Gong say this?" Li Hong obviously didn't expect Yan Li to say this, but he was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously.

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, the old minister originally didn't understand why His Royal Highness King Zhou had a conflict with His Royal Highness King Lu, however, I saw the list before, and the old minister had already understood His Royal Highness King Zhou's intentions, and this move was just to confuse some people, if His Royal Highness really wanted to make a contribution in the early court two days later, it would not be appropriate to have contact with His Royal Highness King Zhou at this time, but secretly adjusted it according to this list, His Royal Highness King Zhou must know that when the court is on the occasion, he will act according to his words, and under the sudden attack, it can work wonders." Yan Liben pouted in the direction of the palace, and after hinting at it, he unhurriedly explained the reason.

"Okay, this matter is decided, Liu Aiqing will work hard and personally deploy this matter, don't leak the news, and see you in two days!" After Li Hong pondered for a while, he had made up his mind, so he took a few shots, Huo Ran got up, and gave the order categorically......
