Chapter 45: Refusal Again (Part II)

Everyone has curiosity, Li Xian is naturally no exception, although Li Xian has guessed the real cause of Shangguanyi's death in private, but after all, he has never obtained empirical evidence, he wants to know what is strange, but he never wants to know about it from the prince, not for anything else, just because he does not want to have a common secret with the prince, it is obvious that the prince's intention to ask this is this, and this is exactly what Li Xian tried to avoid.

"As soon as a person dies, he will go to the past, and what can he do after death, but he will not be illusory."

Since Li Hong asked, it was naturally impossible not to answer, but Li Xian didn't want to jump into such an obvious trap, so he sighed and replied with a lot of emotion.

"The seventh brother said this badly, the sage Sima Qian said: 'People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers', Gu Shen thought so, according to the lonely view, the one who died in the community is heavier than Mount Tai, and the one who died in self-interest will be lighter than the feathers, and the two are clearly distinguished, how can they be regarded as one talk."

Listening to Li Xian's answer, it was obvious that he was avoiding the truth, and Li Hong's brows couldn't help frowning, and he counted Li Xian with a hint of displeasure.

"Brother Prince's lesson is that it is difficult for the foolish people of the courtiers to understand the righteousness, ashamed, ashamed! Hehe, as the so-called book is used when the hatred is less, and the younger brother is ashamed and landless, it is the good student to ask the prince's brother for advice. ”

Li Xian didn't want to dwell on the cause of Shangguanyi's death, and when he heard Li Hong teach himself a lesson, he was happy to avoid such sensitive topics, so he changed the topic along the way.

"Well, the seventh brother can have this realization, if he is willing to work hard, he will be able to succeed in the future, today, the court is in the eventful autumn, with the talent of the seventh brother, he should be the pillar of the auxiliary country, and he is very much expected."

Li Hong saw that Li Xian was unwilling to say anything to find out the cause of Shangguanyi's death, so he didn't make much fuss about it, but threw out a bait that would be used by Li Xian in the future.

"The prince's brother has an overreputation, although the courtier's brother is willing to abandon literature and follow the military, but unfortunately he does not have the talent of Ban Dingyuan, even if he has the heart to write and follow Rong, but it is difficult to make a big difference, but it is just a fame and reputation, which makes the prince's brother laugh."

Li Xian is obviously a loach, he can't keep his hands tight, how could he bite the hook that Li Hong ran out, he was modest, and he said that he was nameless, and his intention was to refuse Li Hong's wooing, but it was not difficult to guess.

Although Li Hong is erudite and talented, however, he is not good at discernment, he was entangled by Li Xian's nonsense, and he had a headache, but he also took Li Xian without a problem, seeing that Li Xian refused to comply, Li Hong's face was a little unpleasant, biting his lip, he looked at Li Xian silently, and his heart was horizontal, and he simply picked out the topic and said: "The seventh brother does not need to be too humble, the seventh brother can be the brother in his heart, how to think about the current situation The seventh brother can also see through, although the lonely is weak, but it is not a person who can be bullied, and the sorrow of the early Han Dynasty is not allowed to repeat itself in my Tang Dynasty, I hope that the seventh brother will help the lonely. ”

The sorrow of the first Han? Good guy, you said it so bluntly, damn it, this is to force us to make a statement, it's a big trouble! As soon as Li Hong's words came out, Li Xian's hair immediately stood up, not for anything else, just because this sentence had forced him into a corner, and it was impossible to deal with it with false words, but how to answer made Li Xian very embarrassed - people's hearts are flesh and blood, although Li Xian has rich experience, but he is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, in the face of the pleas of his brother who has always been friendly to him, he cannot be indifferent, but this is not a question of whether it should be or not, but a matter of principle whether it can be done, even if Li Xian is unbearable, but he does not dare to accept it.

Respond with false words, and then come to the source? If it is feasible, Li Xian would like to do this, but unfortunately it is impossible, just because Li Hong and Li Xian are not easy to fool, if Li Xian plays like this, the final result can only be unpleasing at both ends, and at that time, under the attack on both sides, Li Xian will not talk about secretly developing the team, just those bright swords and dark arrows from the brothers are enough to make Li Xian take care of himself, and how to talk about development, it is obvious that Li Xian can only take one side to rely on, and from the overall situation, Li Xian can only give up the prince and take Li Xian, This is Li Xian's established policy, even if Li Xian is deeply ashamed of his sincerity to the prince at this time, there is no way to make it easier.

"The saint has clouds: the water carries the boat, the water overturns the boat, the water, the people's heart, if the action can be obedient to the people's response to the sky, then nothing can be done, the ministers and brothers steal for this is the road to the government, but whoever can do this, will be Mingjun, why worry about treachery." After Li Xian was silent for a long time, he still did not directly answer Li Hong's invitation, but brought out the sage's quotations, and a lot of them actually meant one thing - refusal, still refusal!

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Li Hong's expectant eyes immediately dimmed, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to persuade again, but he still didn't say anything at the end, just muttered silently, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "That's it, the seventh brother has other plans, and it is not easy to be strong alone, and the lonely is tired, the seventh brother please take care of himself." ”

"The prince's brother Haihan, the courtier's brother retired."

The matter has come to this, although Li Xian felt that he couldn't stop Li Hong, but he didn't have anything to do, after all, this is a difficult thing to do both, at this time, seeing Li Hong gave an eviction order, Li Xianzi didn't want to stay longer, so he stood up, bowed and saluted, and then turned around and walked outside the pavilion.

"Shangguan is full of thieves!"

Just when Li Xian just walked out of the pavilion, Li Hong's low voice suddenly came from behind, as soon as he heard this, Li Xian's back was stiff, he stood hesitantly, and after standing for a while, he turned back, bowed to Li Hong, and saluted again, but he didn't say much, and walked out of the palace silently......

"Your Highness."

Soon after Li Xian left, the figure in the pavilion flashed, and Wang Dequan appeared behind Li Xian like a ghost, bowed down, and whispered.

"Hmm." Li Xian didn't look back, just said lightly, slowly stood up, looked up at the sun that had already set west, and said with a long sigh: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be strong against each other, it's just that, I'm lonely and tired, go back." As soon as the words fell, he didn't care about Wang Dequan's expression, dragged his feet out of the pavilion, and walked slowly towards the Xiande Palace, Wang Dequan saw this, shook his head slightly, and didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly followed.

Finally broke up, I didn't expect this step to come so early, I'm afraid the next days will be difficult, just take one step at a time! Although he had long known that he and the prince would not be fellow travelers, and that a break would happen sooner or later, but at such a time, Li Xian still couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and since he got into the carriage, his whole person's spirit and spirit were gloomy, his eyes were half closed, leaning on the soft cushion, his heart fluctuated, and he only slowed down after a long time.

The prince is going to fight back! After Li Xian's spirit improved a little, he silently reorganized the conversation with the prince today in his heart, and then combined with the court situation in the past few months, he immediately came to an inference that is inseparable - these days, although Li Xian has basically stayed at home, he has never neglected the collection of court information, and with the news from Li Xian's side as evidence, he knows that the Empress Wu, who is far away in Luoyang, is now busy gathering a group of boring literati to compile Shizi's "Biography of the Daughters", "Ministers' Tracks", "Hundred Bureaucrats' New Rings", and "Music Books" and other books, hyping up that women can also be in politics, in a vain attempt to reverse the bad impression of women in politics among the people, so as to create a public opinion basis for them to come to the stage, it is obvious that this move has seriously violated Li Hong's interests, as a prince, Li Hong to fight back against this is a matter of course, this article has long been in Li Xian's expectations, and what he can't guess is just which side the prince will start from, but after a while today, Li Xian has roughly understood the direction of the prince's counterattack - Shangguan Yi's nickname!

The truth of Shangguan Yi's death may be a mystery, there are definitely not many people who can know the inside story, but the reason why Shangguan Yi was demoted is a well-known thing, if the prince can make some articles on Shangguan Yi's nickname, then he can brush the face of the martial arts queen fiercely, and even force him to slow down the pace of politics, which is a good move, but in Li Xian's opinion, it may not work - the prince now has the title of supervising the country and holds the authority of the court, but unfortunately the prince of the prison country is only the prince of the prison country after all, not the emperor, A lot of things are not something that he Li Hong can do if he wants to, besides, Gaozong is now in the hands of the Empress Wu, even if the prince is so cheerful, Gaozong's holy decree comes down, everything has to be zero, if nothing else, the prince's counterattack is afraid that it will end up in vain, at least Li Xian himself is not optimistic about it, of course, not optimistic or not optimistic, but it does not hinder Li Xian's plan to take advantage of the situation.

If you want to gain momentum, you must let the fire burn more vigorously, and it is best to make the dispute between the prince and the queen of martial arts protracted, otherwise, everything is empty talk, and this is obviously not an easy thing to do, even if Li Xian is extremely experienced in political disputes, it will be difficult to come up with a foolproof strategy for a while.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Just as Li Xian was in deep thought, Gao Miao's call suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

"Huh?"

Li Xian was stunned, and suddenly found that the carriage had stopped at some point, stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out, only to know that the carriage had stopped in front of his own house, laughed self-deprecatingly, and didn't say much, and got off the carriage by Gao Miao, but he was not in a hurry to enter the house, but stood next to the carriage, and was stunned at the pair of stone lions in front of the house. No one knows what this master is doing.

"Hah, there it is!"

Just when the guards were speculating wildly, they saw Li Xian suddenly smile, clapped his hands, and walked into the mansion quite excitedly, his steps were so hurried that everyone was dumbfounded......
