Chapter 125: The Prince's Counterattack (2)
"The seventh brother means that the queen mother deliberately did this, in order to let that guy attack Helan Xiao'er? If so, what does the Queen Mother want to do? Li Xian is a smart person in the end, and after a little contemplation, he has vaguely guessed what Li Xian wants to express, but his heart is not steady, so he asked with a gloomy face.
"Hey, the queen mother wants to take charge of the government, the prince's brother is a hurdle that can't be bypassed, the prince's brother does not fall, the queen mother has no serious name for politics, and now the brother has a firm foothold in the court, even if the elder brother enters the Qinggong, can he be able to pass the queen mother, just lightly say 'the prince is young, and he is still embarrassed to take on the big responsibility', even if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have grievances, they have nowhere to go, not to mention that the courtiers have been afraid of the queen mother over the years, and at that time, who dares to do the song of the horse?" Li Xian sneered, completely extinguishing the remaining trace of luck in Li Xian's heart.
"Hmm."
Although Li Xian's personality is upright, he is not a person who knows what to do, and he understands what Li Xianzhi said, but he is unwilling to admit it in his heart, so he snorted coldly, which can be regarded as a vague answer to Li Xian's question.
Tsk, the boiled duck's beak is still hard, and I'm afraid this guy's temperament won't be changed until he dies. Li Xian only glanced at Li Xian, and he already understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, but he didn't bother to pay much attention to it, so he continued to analyze with a solemn face: "Brother Prince is smart by nature, what you and my brother can imagine, he may not be able to think of it, although this humiliation is big, it may not make Brother Prince lose in it, if so, the so-called anger in front of him and even the fear of preparing to impeach He Lanmin is just a trick, and the younger brother thinks that Brother Prince should not do such a thankless stupid thing, I don't know what the sixth brother thinks? ”
"Well, there is such a possibility, but will the seventh brother worry too much, and the hatred of taking his wife is not so bearable?" A gleam flashed in Li Xian's eyes, but he didn't seem to agree with Li Xian's analysis between his words.
Oh, if you were a kid, you would really be unbearable, but Li Hong would definitely be able to endure such a bad breath! Li Xian secretly slandered Li Xian, but he was a little more convinced of his original judgment in his heart, and he didn't directly answer Li Xian's obviously stupid question, and smiled indifferently: "Helan Xiao'er can be rampant like this, its root is still in the queen mother, even if the prince's brother wants to fight back, it will only go to the queen mother, as for Helan Xiao'er?" When to clean up, it's just a gesture, not worth mentioning! There are actually two things that the younger brother is worried about, one of which is where will the prince's brother start? Second, what is the plan of the queen mother? ”
"Is the seventh brother talking about Dali Temple? If so, what should it be? Li Xian has already said it so clearly, and Li Xian is not stupid, how could he not be able to react at this time, his eyes lit up, and he asked in high spirits.
Li Xian was not at all excited by Li Xian's reaction, his face was gloomy, and he said cautiously: "Well, it should be in Dali Temple, if the prince's brother can serve Dali Temple in a pot, it will definitely hurt the foundation of the queen mother, don't say more about this younger brother, think about the sixth brother is clear, but this little brother can see this, it is difficult to protect the queen mother will be kept in the dark, if the queen mother will plan, then the consequences will be a little unbearable." ”
"Ah, this, this, this won't stop, the queen mother ......" Hearing Li Xian's analysis, it turned out to be weird, Li Xian was stunned, and looked at Li Xian dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Wouldn't it? The younger brother also hopes that it will not, but I am afraid that this is the case, if the prince's brother's all-out blow does not work, and then count the bad debts of Helan Minzhi, his face will be lost, and there is no other way but death! Li Xian shook his head with a wry smile and sighed with emotion.
"Damn it!"
Li Xian cursed indignantly, Huo Erqi got up, paced back and forth in the room rapidly, his face full of anxiety - if Li Hong falls, it means that he Li Xian can come to power, in this regard, Li Xian originally had a fantasy, but after Li Xianyi's analysis, Li Xian has understood that the strength he has now is not enough to support the status and power that the prince should have, even if he is barely on the throne, in the end, he is afraid that he will inevitably end up with Li Hong, thinking about this, Li Xian's full expectation immediately burst like a soap bubble, just asking him to help Li Hong stabilize the situation, but it was not what Li Xian wanted, after all, Li Hong sat firmly on the throne of the prince, so wouldn't it be difficult for him Li Xian to have a chance to rise to the top? How to strike a compromise has become Li Xian's most annoying thing at the moment.
"The seventh brother has a way to deal with it, so let's listen to it." Li Xian paced in the room for a long time, and under the confusion of thoughts, he couldn't come up with a solution that best of both worlds for a long time, so he had to stand still and throw the problem to Li Xian.
"It's hard to say, the little brother is also at a loss now, how to start this matter and finally have to discuss it with the prince's brother, otherwise, I am afraid it will be a disadvantage!" Although Li Xian can analyze the strangeness of the matter, when it comes to how to deal with it, he has a headache, and at this time, seeing Li Xian throwing the problem over, Li Xian has no choice but to spread his hands and tell the truth.
"That, alas......"
As soon as he heard that Li Xian had no clue, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, sighed, sat down, stroked his forehead with his hand, and kept his face calm and didn't speak.
"Sixth brother, the prince's brother has such a big deal, you and I are younger brothers, we should also go to comfort us, the so-called day is better than hitting the day, why don't you take advantage of the fact that it is still early at this time and enter the palace together for a trip?" Li Xian thought for a moment, and also felt that this matter was difficult to grasp, so he asked tentatively.
"Well, it's okay, it's ...... for my brother."
Li Xian groaned for a while, but he really couldn't think of a good way, so he had to agree to Li Xian's proposal, but before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Che walking in hurriedly from outside the door, and immediately stopped his mouth vigilantly, frowned, and looked over suspiciously.
"The two highnesses of Qiqi, Chen Dayong, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and Chen Gonggong are here, saying that the prince has an order to His Royal Highness King Zhou." Zhang Che saw that Li Xian's face was unhappy, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed down to report.
"Chen Dayong?"
As soon as they heard that it was this old eunuch who came to announce the prince's edict, the Li Xian brothers couldn't help but be stunned, and almost exhaled at the same time, and glanced at each other quickly, both of them saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Did he say anything?"
The edict was given to Li Xian, and Li Xian was not easy to speak, so Li Xian asked out loud.
"No, he only said that he was in the palace of His Royal Highness King Zhou, and then he knew that His Highness was here, so he chased after him, and the slave and maid couldn't get out of the rest." Zhang Che bowed down and replied with a look of shame on his face.
The prince is so famous, why did he send such an old man to give orders, isn't he happy? Li Xian had long known that Chen Dayong was sent by the Empress Wu to spy on the prince, and he had also reminded Li Hong a few times openly and secretly, but he didn't expect that at such a sensitive time, Li Hong would actually send him to summon him, and he couldn't help but be a little confused for a while, but everyone had already arrived outside the mansion, and it was obviously not a matter to delay not receiving the order, and in desperation, Li Xian had to stand up reluctantly, and arched his hand to Li Xianyi: "Sixth brother, the prince's brother sent someone, and it is estimated that he wants the younger brother to enter the palace. Maybe it's to ask the younger brother to cooperate with the performance of a big play, even so, the younger brother thinks that he might as well cooperate with the performance once, you see......"
"Well, the seventh brother can just go, and he knows it in his heart."
Li Xian was extremely relieved of Li Xian's ability and loyalty, but he didn't mind Li Xian going to meet the prince alone, and when he saw Li Xian asking for his opinion, he felt Li Xian's respect, and he was quite useful in his heart, so he nodded approvingly, waved his hand, and replied with a heroic attitude.
"Okay, sixth brother, please sit down for a while, and the younger brother will go back when he goes."
This is really not the time to be polite, Li Xianzi didn't want to talk any more nonsense, and after giving his hand to signal, he was accompanied by Zhang Che to the gate of Luwang's Mansion.
"Gonggong Chen, you have been waiting for a long time, it is really the fault of Xiao Wang, and I hope that Haihan is one."
Fang just walked out of the gate of the palace, and saw Chen Dayong leading a few little eunuchs to stand in front of the wall, an old face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water, Li Xian's footsteps first slowed slightly, and then immediately piled up a smile on his face, walked over in a few big steps, and said hello with a smile.
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave asks His Royal Highness King Zhou for peace."
Li Xian has been quite sharp in the DPRK in the past few years, Chen Dayong didn't dare to underestimate it, and when he saw Li Xian arrive, he hurriedly greeted him, bowed down, and gave Li Xian a salute.
"Gonggong Chen doesn't have to be so polite, but I don't know what the prince's brother has to give to Xiao Wang, and I ask Gonggong Chen to say it clearly."
Although Li Xian was very disgusted with Chen Dayong in his heart, he would never show it, raised his hand with a smile, stopped Chen Dayong's salute, and asked casually.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an edict, Xuan, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou will enter the palace to meet him."
Chen Dayong straightened his waist with Li Xian's gesture, and the back of him was solemn, and he procrastinated.
That's it? What is the prince doing, he sent this old guy, is it because he is afraid that the mother-in-law will not know? This drama is inevitably too much, and it's not interesting! Li Xian's mind was very sensitive, and he had guessed the intention of Li Hong's move, but he was quite disappreciative in his heart, but on such occasions, he didn't say much, so he could only bow down respectfully and admit: "Brother obey the order of the prince's brother, Gonggong Chen, please." ”
"Your Highness, please."
Chen Dayong only preached the edict, but he didn't care about whether Li Xian acted according to the edict, and the edict that should be passed on had already been transmitted, and Chen Dayong didn't want to stay in front of the Luwang Mansion for longer, so he made a gesture of "please", and let Li Xian get into the carriage, and then turned around, and also got into the carriage of the East Palace, leading the way first, and the group rushed along the long street to the direction of the East Palace......
