Chapter 243: If you want to play, you can play big (medium)
In terms of dealing with people, Li Xian has never liked to put on a show, especially in the face of the two brothers, there has never been a lack of etiquette, however, at such a delicate moment, Li Xian also had to put on a stand that refused to be thousands of miles away, the reason is very simple, but it is just a matter of initiative - as far as the current situation is concerned, Helan Min's case will definitely detonate a court storm, just the difference between large and small, unfortunately Li Xian himself is on the cusp of the storm, Therefore, whether he wants to protect himself or intends to profit from it, Li Xian must fully mobilize the forces of all parties, so that all the forces of all parties revolve around him, rather than currying favor with many parties, which is a fundamental principle.
"Seventh brother, do you have anything to explain to your father and mother?"
Compared with the calmness of the rest of the princes, Li Xian is obviously the most uncontrollable one, Li Xian has just returned home, and he doesn't even have time to breathe, he has already come to the door with his front and back feet, and he can't even take care of greetings, as soon as he saw Li Xian's face, he immediately asked in a hurry.
"Well, Sixth Brother, let's talk in the house, please!"
For Li Xian's impatience, Li Xian knows it very well in his heart, because this guy is basically a bare-rod commander now, and he urgently needs an opportunity to turn the tables, otherwise, it is very likely to be completely marginalized, and it is not impossible to be defeated again, under such heavy pressure, Li Xian's urgency is understandable, of course, from the perspective of the overall situation, Li Xian does not want Li Xian to be marginalized, no matter how this "shield" with good performance Li Xian is reluctant to leave it for the time being, but no matter what, This kind of court affairs can't be talked about in the gate where people talk so much, Li Xian can only smile, make a gesture of "please", let Li Xian enter the mansion, and walk almost wordlessly side by side into the study in the backyard.
"Seventh brother, what is the situation? Brother Wei is in a hurry, alas, this case is tricky, the seventh brother really shouldn't be the chief judge, if something goes wrong, how should Brother Wei deal with himself? ”
Li Xian is really anxious, most of the reason is that he cares about his own interests, but he also has the meaning of sweating for Li Xian, after all, the only thing he can rely on is Li Xian at the moment, in case Li Xian falls down because of this case, he Li Xianke really has nothing to play, plus Li Xian is not a person who is good at hiding his feelings, this urgency is all on his face, no, his ass is not sitting firmly, and the words came out in a row.
"Sixth brother don't worry, although things are tricky, the younger brother can still handle it, the sixth brother just needs to prepare the excerpts for the main exam in Mingchun first, and leave the rest to the younger brother to handle it." Li Xian had already made up his mind in his heart, and he was not flustered, but seeing that Li Xian was in a hurry, he laughed secretly in his heart, and did not rush to answer Li Xian's question, picked up the tea bowl, signaled to Li Xian, and then took a sip and tasted the tea unhurriedly.
"Well, too, with the ability of the seventh brother, there should be no upside down, but this fact is not trivial, if you let that guy get the benefit for nothing, wouldn't it be a fire for people, and this matter must be carefully considered after all." After getting along for so many years, Li Xian has great confidence in Li Xianzhi's ability, and at this time, seeing Li Xian's calm and calm appearance, his nervous mood eased a little, but when he thought of the prince who might benefit from it, his heart immediately became a little uneven.
"Well, what the sixth brother said is very true, the younger brother was summoned by his father this time, but the queen mother let it go, and gave the younger brother five days to close the case......" Li Xian didn't intend to hide it from Li Xian, he casually put the tea bowl on a few pieces, and said calmly.
"What? Five days? Are you kidding? How can such a major case be tried in five days, it is really unreasonable! ”
Li Xian was in a hurry, and the time limit for hearing the trial was only five days, so he immediately became anxious, and before Li Xian finished speaking, he was already bluffing, and he was in a state of impatience.
"The time is a little shorter, but it's enough, my father has an explanation, saying that it can be done early next time." Li Xian didn't care about Li Xian's violent jump at all, glanced at him quietly, and continued calmly.
"That's only seven days, hey, the queen mother is planning to close the case hastily, yes, the people who impeached the queen mother are all people, how can the queen mother not be in a hurry, but this matter is unfair to the seventh brother."
Li Xian is smart by nature, and after a few words, even if he guessed the intention of Empress Wu's move, he couldn't help but feel a little contradictory for a while - although Li Xian also hated Empress Wu's politics, but this has always been a sharp conflict between mother and son, but there have been countless fierce fights with the prince, from the bottom of his heart, Li Xian would rather see the prince unlucky, rather than gain power, but because Li Xian has always been against Empress Wu, Li Xian did not dare to show his true thoughts, can only talk a few words on the facts.
Fair? That thing sounds good, but it's a pity that it doesn't exist at all in the heavenly family, this guy is full of nonsense, but he is just hoping that the prince will fall and he will be on the throne! Li Xianduo is a shrewd individual, just listening to Li Xian's tone, he immediately guessed the little calculation in his heart, but he didn't bother to say it, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and replied lightly: "This case is just a chicken rib for the younger brother, it doesn't matter whether it is clear or not, but not for the prince's brother, the younger brother expects that the prince's brother will come to the door sooner or later, and he may not be able to gain something. ”
"Well, that's true, it's just ...... Well, it's okay, it's up to the seventh brother to make the decision. ”
Although Li Xian's words are understated, but the inside is undoubtedly resolute, this is to tell Li Xian that this cooperation with the prince is an established policy, and it must not be changed, although Li Xian is slightly disliked, but it is not good to say more, so he can only shake his head and retract his mind of trying to persuade Li Xian.
"Your Highness, the Holy Decree has arrived."
As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Gao Miao had already rushed in from behind the screen, bowed to the two brothers, and hurriedly made a report, but the expression on his face was strange.
"Huh?"
Li Xian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Gao Miao's expression was a little wrong, he immediately frowned slightly, and snorted with a hint of displeasure.
"Your Highness, it is His Royal Highness King Yin who has come to deliver the message."
Gao Miao saw that Li Xian's face was unhappy, and he hurriedly explained a sentence.
The eighth came to deliver the decree, this is obviously not in accordance with the etiquette law, what kind of plane! When Li Xian heard that it was Li Xulun who came to deliver the decree, he couldn't help but be stunned, even though he faintly guessed Li Xulun's intention, he didn't say anything, but he just stood up unhurriedly, straightened his clothes casually, and looked at Li Xian with a smile and said: "Sixth brother, Xiaoba has finally come here, why don't you meet together?" ”
"No, the seventh brother will go and get busy, and he will go through the back door for his brother, so he won't participate much."
Li Xian and Li Xulun are very different in age, and there is basically no interaction between them, although it is a little strange why Li Xulun came to pass the decree, you must know that the young and the old are orderly, how can there be a reason for the younger brother to pass the decree to the elder brother, but he didn't think deeply, he was really too lazy to kneel outside the mansion, so he stood up, stretched his waist, and replied casually.
"Okay, the sixth brother please take care of yourself, and the younger brother will deal with it first."
Li Xian asked politely, he didn't plan to go with Li Xian to receive the order, but when he saw Li Xian say this, he would not force it, so he nodded, explained, and then strode in the direction of the mansion......
"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: The British King is both virtuous and capable, there is the work of the counselor in the past, and there is the merit of breaking the captives, and all the actions are in line with my intentions.
Li Xu's turn came relatively suddenly, but over the years, the British Prince's Mansion has already received the decree very smoothly, and it will not be messed up because of this, before and after only half a pillar of incense, before and after Li Xian greeted the door, those incense cases, incense and other things that should be received have been prepared, and as soon as Li Xian arrives, this trick of receiving the decree can be staged, but seeing the thin Li Xulun standing behind the incense case, holding the holy decree in his hand, and announcing it in a childish voice, it is also quite a bit of a bad style.
"Erchen is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The time limit stipulated in this decree is five days, and Li Xian couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and despised Empress Wu fiercely, but this is not the time to complain, and he can only thank him in a proper manner.
"Seventh brother, please take the order."
Over the years in Luoyang, Li Xulun has been on an errand under the orders of Gaozong and Empress Wu, and it is not the first time to pass the decree, but it is the first time to pass the decree to his brother, and the mood can't help but be a little apprehensive, and he can read it smoothly when he declares it, but under the sweat surging, his whole body is as wet as if he was fished out of the water, seeing that the matter has finally been dealt with, Li Xulun breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Li Xian to get up, he hurriedly walked over and handed over the holy decree in his hand to Li Xian.
"There's Eighth Brother Lao."
Li Xianming knew that Li Xulun was not only here to announce the decree, but he didn't want to easily fulfill his intentions, so after thanking him, he took the decree with both hands, but he never asked him to enter the mansion to rest.
"Seventh Brother ......"
Seeing that Li Xian took over the will, there was no other expression, Li Xulun couldn't help but be a little anxious, and called pitifully, wanting to speak and stopping.
"Eighth brother, is there anything else?"
Li Xian pretended to look at Li Xulun with a suspicious look, and asked knowingly.
"Hmm."
Facing the idol he has always been, Li Xulun really didn't want to open this mouth, but when he thought of the martial queen's advice, Li Xulun had no choice but to nod helplessly, and said with a red face.
"Oh, well, let's go in the house."
Li Xian didn't embarrass Li Xulun, smiled and reached out to pat Li Xulun's shoulder, and gave a positive answer.
"Hey."
As soon as he heard Li Xian say this, Li Xulun breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and followed Li Xian into the gate of the palace......
