Li Xian has always been accustomed to getting up early, even if he has been sleeping poorly recently, and his spirit is quite poor, but he still gets up before dawn, and after practicing his fists and feet a few times, he hurriedly used some gruel, and then paced to the study in the front hall, although his face was calm, but his steps were obviously a little heavier than usual, and he obviously had a lot of things on his mind.

Gaozong's body is really collapsed, under this stroke, he has been completely paralyzed in bed, and there is no possibility of standing up, the condition is a little more serious than what Li Xian knew in his previous life, but when it comes to when it will be a big deal, it is still difficult to say, there is no accurate conclusion at the end of the hospital, maybe half a year, maybe three years, this gives Li Xian a big problem - if the time is within a year, Li Xian is not afraid at all, even if the Empress Wu and the King of Yue completely join forces, Li Xian also has an absolute certainty to crush the two, But if the time is more than two years, things will be much more complicated, after all, now Gaozong is completely controlled in the hands of Empress Wu, with such a ruthless temperament as Empress Wu, there are things she dare not do, and the random rectification of some holy decrees is enough for Li Xian to be busy, not to mention that there is an ambitious King Yue watching from the side.

Preemptively, this is a coping strategy that has been formulated, it's not that Li Xian doesn't want to strike first, it's really the situation - it's not impossible to learn from Taizong to play the "Xuanwumen Incident", Li Xian has the absolute strength to achieve this move, but the problem is that the next chaotic situation in the world is not a scene that Li Xian likes to see, not for anything else, just because the current situation is very different from the situation in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. There are as many as ninety-seven states in the history of the clan, and most of them are concentrated in Henan and Hebei and other anointing places, once Li Xian rebels, how can these people sit and watch, you must know that the ambitious clan children are not only the king of Yue.

Although the name of righteousness is very empty, but for the ruler, it is indispensable, as far as Taizong's prestige back then, after playing a "Xuanwumen Incident", he has encountered more than 30 rebellions under the banner of "Kuang Protecting Justice", not to mention that Li Xian's prestige is far from reaching the level of Taizong's time, and furthermore, today's states are becoming more and more powerful, and they have soldiers and money in their hands, once someone raises the flag, those who follow will be many, even if Li Xian can easily quell the rebellion, but the situation of life and soul is absolutely inevitable, The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is bound to be weakened a lot, in case of a slight mistake, it is not impossible to reproduce the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this risk, Li Xian does not want to and does not want to take it.

It is precisely because of the consideration of the issue of righteousness, no matter how difficult the situation is, Li Xian can only grit his teeth and make appropriate arrangements as much as possible to deal with the complex situation, but there are too many variables, and there are more aspects to consider, even with the help of the two wise men Di and Zhang, there are still a lot of omissions after several days of deliberations, and Li Xian's mood can't help but be a little anxious and irritable.

"Old minister, see Your Highness!"

Among the many subordinate officials in the East Palace, Zhang Cambodia is always the earliest one, and today is no exception, Li Xianfang just turned out from behind the screen, and Zhang Cambodia, who was buried in the official documents, had already stood up and made a big bow respectfully.

"Sir, please take a seat."

Li Xian had long been accustomed to Zhang Cambodia's formal etiquette, and he didn't say much, just nodded, and after indifferently ordering, he slowly walked to the back of the copywriter and sat down, picked up a book of folds casually, and looked at them without a glance, it was obvious that Li Xian's mind was not on this fold, but on waiting.

Waiting and waiting, the taste of waiting is naturally not so pleasant, but whether it is Li Xian or Zhang Cambodia, they are both quite calm people, and they will not be very impatient because of this, they all sit behind a few children, silently reviewing the excerpts, the only incongruity is that the atmosphere in the study is obviously too depressing.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

I don't know how long it took, a dull sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, Zhang Mingyuan, who was dressed in armor, had hurried in from outside, grabbed in front of Li Xian in a few big strides, and reported slightly panting: "Your Highness, something went wrong in the southern battle, and the last general was incompetent, so that the Yulin Army was humiliated and ...... the door."

"Well, the palace will deal with it, and then go to the various ministries, and you can't leave the palace without permission."

Li Xian quietly listened to Zhang Mingyuan's report, but did not comment, but just ordered in an indifferent tone.

"No, the last general will obey!"

Yulin Army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, whether it is right or wrong, it is a big crime to have a conflict with it, even if Zhang Mingyuan is the general of the East Palace Tiger Ben, he is also a little guilty, he is not worried that Li Xian will be punished by himself, but that Li Xian will be implicated in this matter, there is no other thing, if Li Xian's backbone is lost, many officials who are attached to Li Xian are afraid that they will not have a good end, and now, the matter has happened, how can Zhang Mingyuan not be nervous, but when he saw Li Xian so calm, he didn't dare to say more, could only respond in a hurry, hurriedly exited the study, and went to arrange for arming without mentioning it.

"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but no, no!"

After Zhang Mingyuan retreated, Li Xian did not rush to give an order, but shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

"Your Highness."

As soon as he saw Li Xian sighing like this, Zhang Cambodia couldn't help but be worried, you must know that in order to persuade Li Xian to act safely, in the past few days, he and Di Renjie have not bothered much, if Li Xian draws his sword angrily, I am afraid that the situation will be completely eroded, but it is not good to force his words at this time, Zhang Cambodia can only force the worry in his heart and call lightly.

"It's okay, this palace is just a sigh of emotion, and this matter will be done according to the predetermined strategy."

Although Zhang Cambodia only called lightly, Li Xian knew what his unfinished words were, but he was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to explain, but he made a decision in an indifferent tone.

"No, Wechen will do it."

Zhang Cambodia was only worried about Li Xian's emotional out-of-control, but he was not worried about the consequences of the conflict with the Yulin Army.

It was past noon, but Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who had always had the habit of napping, did not go to rest, but paced back and forth in the study, the expression on his face changed from time to time, and he was so worried that Li Chong and the others who were sitting in the lower position did not dare to move a little, and they all sat up straight with solemn faces, only Chen Wushuang was still calm, and the white feather fan in his hand shook lightly from time to time.

"Lord Wang."

In the silence, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded, and when everyone's eyes swept over, they saw Pei Shoude, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, and grabbed the side of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, in a few big strides.

"Well, Shoude is back, how is the situation?"

As soon as he saw that it was Pei Shoude, Li Zhen's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the prince's words, the other side agreed to grant the position of Tangzhou assassin to the third prince, but asked me to wait for tomorrow morning to take the lead in impeaching His Royal Highness the prince for conniving at the crime of leading the guard, the son-in-law negotiated with that guy for a long time, and he refused to let go, this matter is ......"

Li Zhen asked, Pei Shoude didn't dare not answer, but when he thought of Li Xian's ruthlessness, he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, and stopped halfway through the words.

"Huh? Hum! ”

Li Zhen is an old and cunning person, how can he not see what the intentions of the martial queen are, the left and right are just a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, this is using him Li Zhen as a sword, and it is inevitable that he will be angry in his heart, just to give up the position of Tangzhou assassin history, but he is reluctant to do 120,000 points, it is in this complicated mood that Li Zhen is not in a hurry to make a decision, but snorted coldly with a black face, and paced back and forth in the room quickly, then walked back to the top of the big position, lifted the hem of the robe, and sat down with a tiger face.

"Father, the child thinks that the position of Tangzhou Assassin should be the most important, and we and the prince are mortal enemies, so why worry too much, besides, this conflict between the Yulin Army and the Donggong Guard, a discerning person can see at a glance that it is from the deployment of the old witch, the prince wants to hate, and he is also going to the old witch, so why should I take advantage of this profit."

Li Chong has always hated Li Xian, and this time he was an envoy for Li Wen, who was close to him, he didn't want to see his old father retreat, so he was the first to stand up and admonish loudly.

"Father, what the eldest brother said is very true, with the land of Tangzhou, I can connect the line of the royal mansion, even if the prince is strong, he will not dare to do anything to me."

Li Wen is not a rule-abiding person, he has been suffocated in the court over the years, and this time he went out with the army and did not get a battle, that is, he followed the Chinese army to march around, although Pei Xingjian looked at the face of the king of Yue, and also added some credit to Li Wen, but this little credit is not enough to make him go out to the place as the governor, and the only one who can go to the local prestige is only to transfer to the assassin history This way can be taken, and then I think of Li Qian and Li Chun now each have a state in their hands, In my heart, I coveted the position of Tangzhou's assassin history even more, and when I saw Li Chong coming out for myself, how could I not hurry up and keep up.

"Hmmm......"

Even if what Li Chong and the brothers said were quite reasonable, but Li Zhen was not moved, after all, it was not fun to have a direct hard encounter with Li Xian, he didn't want to eat the bait, but he was roasted on the stove by the Empress Wu, in fact, this time to ask for an official for Li Wen itself is just a temptation, Li Zhen just wants to use it to test the reaction of Empress Wu and Li Xian, and does not really expect to succeed, but the current situation seems to have the possibility of realizing this unexpected joy, Li Zhen has to take stock of the stakes... …
