311. The Octopus and the Bear's Paw

"Steward Ding, can Your Highness be in the house?"

"Chief Manager Ding, I'll come to see His Highness, and please report on my behalf."

"Lao Ding, you're too uninteresting, aren't you just a mouthful, don't you want to do this?"

……

As soon as the joint recital of the thirteen kings was on, there was a commotion in front of the British Prince's Mansion, and countless officials and even the lifters flocked to the British Prince's Mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Royal Highness occasionally felt a cold last night, and I really couldn't welcome guests, and I also asked Zhugong Haihan to be one, and when my Royal Highness was happy, I would talk to you."

The people who come are all guests, not to mention that the situation is delicate now, how dare Ding Quan easily offend the visiting people, etc., he can only keep making accusations, but there are too many people coming, and he has come and gone, and there is never a time to stop, let Ding Quan's voice be hoarse, this person/flow has not been seen less, at this time, Ding Quan's most envious fear is those brothers who guard the back door.

Li Xian is good at martial arts, therefore, the back door of the British Royal Mansion is very different from many palaces, not open in the back garden, but on the side of the martial arts field, all the time there are palace guards firmly guarded, not only that, there are also two sentry posts in the alley outside, and the idlers can not get close to half a step, even if the front door at this time has turned the sky upside down, but the back door is still quiet as usual, if there is anything different, that is the British Royal Mansion Governor Gao Miao extremely rare appeared at the sentry box at the mouth of the alley, He kept looking at the corner of the back street, as if waiting for someone very important to appear.

Just after the hour, a carriage without any signs had turned out of the corner of the back street, and drove slowly to the sentry box, Gao Miao did not wait for the carriage to stop, he had already hurriedly met the front, personally stretched out his hand and rolled up the curtain of the carriage, after a light cough, Di Renjie, who was dressed in civilian clothes, had bent down and got out of the carriage.

"The little one has seen Di Gong, the front door is noisy, tired of you walking through the back door, I'm really sorry, Your Highness has been waiting in the study for a long time, please inside."

As the most obedient person around Li Xian, Gao Miao knew Di Renjie's status in Li Xian's mind, and when he saw Di Renjie get out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"It's okay, Grandpa Gao, please."

Although Di Renjie has never seen the bustle at the main gate of the British Palace, but just by imagining, he can guess that eight or nine are not far from ten, after all, Li Xian is now the most popular candidate for the East Palace, and of course there are very few people who rush to pat the horse, Di Renjie does not want to collide with those people who tend to be inflammatory, and he will not care about Gao Miao's style of secretly acting, so he smiled faintly, waved his hand, raised his foot and walked towards the back door of the palace, accompanied by Gao Miao, all the way through the hall and alley, and arrived at the courtyard where the study was located in a few moments, just turned the wall at the gate of the courtyard, Di Renjie immediately paused, smiling and listening to the sound of piano music floating in the study.

"Di Gong ......"

Seeing that Di Renjie suddenly didn't leave, Gao Miao couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask at will, and waited for a while, but seeing that Di Renjie still didn't react, he had to call in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Di Renjie didn't say anything to explain, just nodded and said lightly, straightened his clothes, strode towards the study, turned the screen at the door, and saw Li Xian, who was dressed in white, stroking the strings with his hands, playing leisurely, Di Renjie didn't dare to look more, walked forward quickly, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness has seen Your Highness." ”

"Di Gong is here, sit down."

Li Xian stroked his hand, a string of tail notes choked and sounded, a song was over, and then smiled and pushed the piano away, raised his hand in a void, and greeted him very politely, and the scholar who was waiting next to him was busy serving the fragrant tea that had been brewed, and then they all withdrew from the room, leaving only the two guests of honor sitting opposite each other.

"Di Gong, you already know about the joint name of the thirteen princes, what can you teach about it?"

Li Xian waited for a while, and when he saw Di Renjie patronizing the tea, he didn't seem to have the intention of opening his mouth, so he had to ask.

"Your Highness's heart is upset."

Di Renjie put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, looked at Li Xian quietly, and replied lightly.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Xian's brows couldn't help but twitch, but he didn't say anything to ask, just whispered, staring at Di Renjie with an inquiring gaze, waiting for him to explain.

"The song is the voice of the heart, although the "Spring and White Snow" played by His Royal Highness is wonderful and abnormal, but it is high and low, and His Royal Highness is closed at such a time, if it is not undecided, how can it be so?"

Di Renjie stroked the long beard on his chest with a smile and gave an answer unhurriedly.

"Well, as Di Gong said, there are quite doubts in Lone's heart, since yesterday afternoon I learned that the Thirteen Kings jointly signed the matter, Lone has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has not been able to make a decision, and asked Di Gong to analyze one or two for Xiao Wang, well, let's put it this way, and the current situation, according to Lone's opinion, should be ......" Li Xian invited Di Renjie to come to the house, that is, to ask for his opinion, since there will be no reservations at all, this will be thought out one by one, at the end, some uncertain asked: "If you can let King Lu enter the East Palace, and can you not let King Yue be in the court, It's the best situation, but I don't know where to go, if I can't, it seems that there is nothing wrong with entering the East Palace alone, it's better than being covered by the nest in vain, I don't know if Di Gong can teach him anything? ”

"Mencius said: I want the fish, the bear's paw is also what I want, you can't have both, you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw, and I don't know why Your Highness's fish and bear's paw?"

Di Renjie listened to Li Xian's statement quietly, but did not give an answer directly, but took out Mencius's quotations, and asked with a smile.

"Fish and bear's paws? This ......"

As soon as Li Xian heard Di Renjie say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Di Renjie suspiciously, and saw that he didn't have the slightest intention of further explanation, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he got up and paced back and forth in the study with his head down.

For Li Xian, there is only one bear paw, that is the society of the Tang Dynasty, as for the fish, there are a lot of them, whether it is the Empress Wu or the Yue King Li Zhen or the prince's throne, in fact, they are just fish, in order to finally control the Tang Dynasty, all the rest Li Xian can actually be temporarily abandoned, this Li Xian has a lot of money in his heart, but at this moment, everything is not so certain, in case the fish are too happy, Li Xian may not be able to finally catch the bear paw, besides, In the case that the bear's paw is not available for a while, it is not necessarily impossible to catch a few fish first, obviously, Di Renjie is afraid that the fish and bear's paw are not referring to these things, so what is it referring to? Li Xian pondered for a long time, but still didn't quite understand what Di Renjie was referring to, so he had to stand still, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and looked inquiringly at Di Renjie, who was silent about the tea.

"Your Highness, do you remember the allusion to Shen Sheng's heavy ears?"

Faced with Li Xian's doubts, Di Renjie still didn't explain directly, but mentioned a sentence from the side.

"This ......"

Li Xian can be regarded as a person who has read history books, and he knows the allusion that Shen was born and died inside, and Chong'er was born outside, and he knows more that the reason why Chong'er can achieve a hegemony is not only because of his own ability, but because when he left the dynasty, he almost included all the important ministers of the Jin Kingdom, otherwise, where would he come from the Spring and Autumn Overlord in the future, but for a while, he couldn't understand how this allusion had anything to do with the current situation, and people couldn't help but think about it a little irritated, but when he saw Di Renjie closed his mouth again, Obviously, he didn't want to explain more, so Li Xian had no choice but to ponder it patiently.

"Huh, ......, Lone understands, thank you for Di Gong's advice!"

Li Xian is not an ordinary person in the end, after thinking about it, he finally completely understood the meaning of Di Renjie's words, and his heart suddenly settled, and after a long breath, he bowed deeply to Di Renjie and thanked him sincerely.

"It's good that His Highness understands, then don't let His Royal Highness King Lu wait in a hurry."

Di Renjie didn't deliberately don't want to explain the strangeness, but such a big decision, only Li Xian himself thought thoroughly, can deal with it calmly, otherwise, a careless, it will be a catastrophe that will never be recovered, therefore, Di Renjie can't, and he doesn't dare to analyze Li Xian too clearly, at most, he can only mention it, at this time, when he saw Li Xian's expression, Di Renjie's heart finally fell to the ground, and he calmly accepted Li Xian's salute, and then reminded him again.

"Oh, hahaha...... what Di Gong said is very true, I think that the sixth brother of the lonely brother will not close his eyes all night, if he continues to survive, maybe this guy will do stupid things, or so, Lone will go to his house for a walk, well, the rest of the things will be entrusted to Mr."

Li Xian knows Li Xian's personality well, even if Li Xian has not shown up since yesterday, but Li Xian knows that he must be thinking nonsense in his house like ants on a hot pot, hearing Di Renjie say this, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, please take care of the rest of the affairs."

Di Renjie stood up, bowed to Li Xian, and made a categorical guarantee in his tone.

"Well, without further ado, Lone will be one step ahead." Li Xian has always been a man of action, once he has made a decision, he has never dragged mud and water, and after returning the salute to Di Renjie, he immediately shouted loudly: "Gao Miao, prepare the car, I will go to Luwangfu and his party!" ”

"No!"

Although Gao Miao didn't understand why Li Xian wanted to go to the Luwang Mansion at such a delicate time, he didn't dare to ask more, and after answering in a hurry, he went to discuss all kinds of matters, and the originally quiet British Palace's Mansion became busy......
