"Your Highness, Di Shaoqing, Luo Zhongcheng, Lin Shilang, General Xiao and others have been here for a long time."

The bath itself doesn't take long, even if the whole body rolls back and forth in the mud a few times, dirty like a pig, it won't take more than an hour to wash, of course, if you have to do some "things" on the side when taking a bath, then you have to say two, so when Li Xian finally came out of the bathhouse, Gao Miao was already waiting for his legs to stand numb, but he didn't dare to complain in the slightest, so he hurried forward and said a word carelessly.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that these people arrived at the mansion at the same time, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, and his brows immediately wrinkled slightly, there is nothing else, because although these people are Li Xian's most trusted henchmen, they are not so harmonious with each other, not to mention, the upright Luo Bin Wang and the mellow Lin Mingdu are not very compatible, and in the past, they all came separately to Li Xian's mansion, and rarely came to the door together, not to mention that Xiao Qian, a military general with five big and three thick, and a group of civil officials have always looked down on each other, and have never had much contact. If we are here at this time, it only means one thing - persuasion!

Since ancient times, the merit of supporting the establishment has always been the most important merit, but all those who follow the dragon are all extremely rich and noble, and now the position of the prince is vacant, Gaozong and the Empress Wu have no relevant will, and the undercurrent in the court is surging, as long as it is conditional, they are all secretly planning to win the great merit of supporting the establishment, there is no doubt that the senior officials of Li Xian's family naturally have such thoughts, but this thinking is obviously contrary to Li Xian's plan, How to convince everyone without hurting the loyalty of a group of henchmen became a difficult problem in front of Li Xian.

"See Your Highness."

In the study in the backyard of the British Palace, Luo Bingwang and the other four people sat on one side, although they came together, but since they entered the room, they hardly talked much, and sat upright like clay carvings and wood sculptures, until they saw Li Xian turn out from behind the screen, and then they stood up in unison, and each gave Li Xian a salute.

"All the princes, please take a seat."

Looking at the four bigwigs in the room, Li Xian couldn't help but have a headache for a while, not because the four of them looked like each other, in fact, but all the wise superiors, no one likes the lower people and so on is monolithic, there is no other, there is a fight to have a balance at all, otherwise, it is very easy to have the danger of being too upside down, of course, if there are many factions, it is extremely difficult to get a resolution that can be satisfied by all parties, especially when the resolution of the superior and the interests of all factions conflict, If you want to convince all parties, you can imagine how difficult it is, but no matter how difficult it is, Li Xian will not be able to change his original intention, except for hard-headedness, there is no other way to go.

"Your Highness."

The four of them thanked each other in unison and sat down, but they didn't rush to speak, but looked at Li Xian with different eyes, but their eyes were different-Xiao and Luo's eyes were full of undisguised anticipation, although Lin Mingdu was a little secretive, but in general, he still looked forward to it, but Di Renjie's eyes were fluttering, making people unable to see the details inside.

"Since the princes have come together, there must be a lone teacher, so let's talk about it."

Although he had guessed everyone's intentions, Li Xian didn't plan to break it, but flicked his sleeves and asked calmly.

"Your Royal Highness, now that the throne of the East Palace has been vacant, when the virtuous person lives in it, the last general thinks that His Royal Highness has both talent and virtue, and he should do this, and the last general is willing to fight to protect His Highness straight to the clouds!"

Xiao Qian is a military general after all, although he is also considered an old man, but the kung fu of cultivating qi is destined to be incomparable with Luo Bingwang and others, after waiting for a while, seeing that the big guy didn't speak, he couldn't help it, suddenly stood up, bowed violently to Li Xian, and persuaded him loudly.

"Well, do all the princes think the same way?"

Li Xian didn't comment on Xiao Qian's words, but looked around at the other three and asked quietly.

"Your Royal Highness, humility and forbearance is certainly a virtue, however, it is absolutely inappropriate to use it in court disputes, at this critical juncture, only courage and diligence are the right way, if you cower, you will make a mistake, and it is not worth stealing from your Highness!" As soon as Li Xian's words fell, King Luo Bin had already stood up and opened his mouth very bluntly, with an obvious hint of instruction between his words.

"Your Royal Highness, the lower officials think that this is such a God-given opportunity, if you don't prepare early, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of delay, rather than being controlled by others in the future, why don't you rise up today, the lower officials and others are willing to run for His Highness, in the name of His Highness's order, and look around today, in addition to His Highness, who else can take on the heavy responsibility of the world, these are the words of the lower officials and other confidants, and please make a clear decision!"

Lin Mingdu has repeatedly held important local positions, and he is obviously much more harmonious than Luo Bingwang in terms of human feelings, although the two often disagree on political opinions, but in the matter of supporting Li Xian, there is no difference, of course, Lin Mingdu's tone of voice is more euphemistic than Luo Bingwang, but the meaning inside is completely the same, and they all agree that Li Xian will take advantage of the situation at this time.

Let Li Xian go to the throne is something that Li Xian has already calculated, not that Li Xianqian let it, but forced by the facts, simply put, Li Xian is not ready for a comprehensive decisive battle with the Empress Wu at this time, the "Xuanwumen Change" is not so easy to stage, not only the military strength is enough, but also the political and economic factors need to be considered. Just those still alive Taizong's many sons will not give up, the chaos together, it is not easy to calm down, Li Xian can not and does not want to face a broken society, even if he has absolute certainty to calm down all the turmoil, but he does not want to cause a catastrophe in the world because of his own selfishness, besides, if it fails, Li Xian is afraid that there is no second way to go except for exile in the Western Regions, therefore, Li Xian is impossible to blindly change the predetermined overall plan because of the advice of his henchmen. It's just that how to convince everyone has given Li Xian a headache.

I have a headache, Li Xian is really a headache this time, this has always been, although Li Xian regards everyone here as a confidant, trust is needless to say, but there is a great difference in use, simply put, in addition to Di Renjie is regarded as a think tank, the rest Li Xian is just a big member of the department, not all confidential matters Li Xian has told everything, at least in how to fight against the Empress Wu, Li Xian has a lot of reservations, and has not analyzed the whole calculation with everyone, not that Li Xian believes but everyone, But the secrets and gloom in it are really not enough for outsiders, and moreover, in terms of wisdom, except for Di Renjie, the rest of the people can't help Li Xian in the overall situation, so there is no need to let everyone bear the big thoughts, in this way, how to convince everyone can make Li Xian extremely embarrassed, you must know that Luo Bingwang and others represent not only themselves, but also a large group of people behind them, not to mention, Xiao Qian alone represents the interests of those civil and military officials who went out of the British Palace, This is not counting Li Jinxing and many other generals on the other side of the Western Regions are also secretly contacted by Xiao Qian, in a word, these four people in front of them represent the interests of all the officials who belong to Li Xian, how can Li Xian deal with it carelessly.

"You already know the will of the princess, please sit down first, Di Gong, do you have any advice on this?"

Li Xian couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he had no choice but to kick the ball to the feet of the silent Di Renjie, hoping that Di Renjie, who had always been wise, could come up with a good solution to this dilemma.

"Such important matters should be chosen by His Royal Highness, and His Majesty has no objections."

As soon as Li Xian's words fell, the eyes of Luo Binwang and the others immediately focused on Di Renjie, expecting Di Renjie to speak and persuade him, but unexpectedly, Di Renjie neither supported everyone's persuasion, nor did he speak out against it as Li Xian expected, but unhurriedly replied to a nonsense without salt and vinegar.

"Brother Huaiying, how can I say this, since we have chosen His Highness as the Lord, we should seek a future for His Highness, how can we blame him!"

Luo Bingwang was the oldest among all the people, and his temper was also the most upright, so he couldn't listen to Di Renjie's warm words, so he unceremoniously refuted a sentence in person.

"Yes, it is precisely this reason, although Xiao is not talented, however, there is no shortage of the heart to serve death, under such a situation, only His Royal Highness is the best candidate for the East Palace, and the rest are just dogs, which is not worth mentioning!"

Xiao Qian's temperament is also anxious, and he is also extremely dissatisfied when he hears Di Renjie say this, so he followed Luo Binwang's words and echoed a sentence.

Although Lin Mingdu cautiously did not say anything to attack Di Renjie, he looked at Di Renjie's gaze, and there was also a strong sense of dissatisfaction - the reason why everyone came together to persuade him this time was because Lin Mingdu was involved in it, and when the discussion was at the beginning, Di Renjie also expressed his attitude, and it didn't take long for Di Renjie to retreat, and he retreated in front of Li Xian, which really made Lin Mingdu extremely dissatisfied, but Lin Mingdu was cautious and cautious, and he had many scruples, and he didn't want to lose his honor in front of Li Xian. In his heart, he had already scolded Di Renjie to the point of blood.

This Lao Di is really a master of Tai Chi, yes, the ball is kicked back again, this fun is really small! Seeing that Di Renjie refused to come forward, Li Xian couldn't help it, and then saw that everyone aimed the spearhead at Di Renjie, and he felt a little more annoyed in his heart, which means that everyone has already reached a consensus in advance, and the difficulty of convincing everyone is invisibly higher, and Li Xian will not have a headache if he is free......
