Chapter 96—The Art of Compromise (4)
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Lu has arrived, and people have been waiting in the study for a long time."
Li Xian is not a person who is obsessed with cleanliness, but he is very particular about personal hygiene, and his mind has been decided, it is when he is relaxed and happy, this bath will be extraordinarily comfortable, under this wash, he soaked in the bathhouse for nearly half an hour, and then changed his clothes under the service of the two big maids of Yanhong and Cuiliu, and walked out of the bathhouse with a shake, planning to go back to the room for a meal first, so that he could rest and then make plans, but he didn't expect that he had just walked out of the door of the bathhouse, and saw Gao Miao rushing over in a hurry, He said with a stumbling voice.
Tsk, why is this guy so breathless, heh, it's really easy to change its nature and difficult to change! Li Xian originally planned to go to Li Xian's place after taking a nap, but he didn't expect Li Xian to come to the door in person with such a quick roar, and he couldn't help but slander Li Xian in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he just nodded casually: "Got it." Then, regardless of Gao Miao's reaction, he walked in the direction of the study unhurriedly.
"Sixth brother, the younger brother is just grooming, I don't know that the sixth brother has arrived, there is a loss of welcome, Haihan, Haihan."
As soon as Li Xian turned the screen at the door of the study, he saw Li Xian standing on the windowsill, looking at the back garden motionlessly, seemingly very leisurely, however, from his face facing the direction of the door, he could clearly see the anxiety and irritability that could not be dissolved, Li Xian couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop for a while, he walked straight behind Li Xian, and greeted him very affectionately.
"The seventh brother is here, sit down and talk."
Li Xian has been here for a while, but he heard that Li Xian was grooming, and he didn't want people to urge him, but he didn't expect Li Xian to take a bath for so long, so that Li Xian couldn't help but wonder if Li Xian was deliberately avoiding himself, he was the boss's impatience, and he was about to be on the verge of attacking, but when Li Xian arrived, Li Xian calmed down again, just looked down at Li Xian's wet hair that was spread out, and waved his hand quietly, and said casually, Since he took the lead and walked to the back of a few sons, he sat down, and he didn't know whether he was intentional or not careful, the place where Li Xian sat was the main seat, but what was left for Li Xian became a guest seat.
I'll go for it, this guy can't forget to declare sovereignty anywhere, it's enough! Li Xian's mind is very sharp, and he can't see that Li Xian's hand is intentional, and the left and right are just hinting that Li Xian is the backbone of the alliance of the two kings, which makes Li Xian's heart crooked, but at this moment, Li Xian is too lazy to worry about these indifferent trivial things with Li Xian, so he smiled slightly, walked to the opposite of Li Xian and sat down, slapped his palm, and said: "Come on, serve tea!" As soon as these words came out, a group of people hurriedly served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then retreated one after another, and in the huge study, only the brothers were left sitting opposite each other.
"Liu Yizhi and others jointly signed this matter, have you heard about it?"
Li Xian did not hide his intentions, and after the people retreated, he did not move the tea bowl in front of him, and asked directly.
"Before the sixth brother arrived, the younger brother also just got the news, and the specific details are not yet known."
The matter of the North Gate Bachelor's book had already spread rapidly in the officialdom of the Beijing Division, and Li Xianzi had no need to conceal the need for himself to know about it, so he nodded with a smile and replied.
"What does the seventh brother think about this?"
Hearing Li Xian admit so calmly that he had obtained the letter, Li Xian's eyelids couldn't help jumping, but he didn't say anything, just asked quietly.
"Sixth brother, do you think that the younger brother will be stupid enough to really take over the messenger of the river worker? Hey, with the younger brother's age, even if the father is willing, the courtiers may not be willing, besides, even if everyone is willing, the younger brother doesn't have that mind, don't hide it from the sixth brother, the younger brother can't hide. Li Xian didn't know the intentions of Li Xian's rush to run this time, and he didn't bother to make more detours in this matter, so he laughed and simply spread out the matter.
"The seventh brother misunderstood, that's not what he meant to be a brother."
As soon as he heard Li Xian say this, Li Xian's face couldn't help but blush slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, snorted, and prevaricated.
Not that means? It's strange, if you kid doesn't have a ghost in his heart, and he runs to do something in a hurry, do you miss the food in our house? Cut, sample! For Li Xian's careful eyes, Li Xian was really angry and funny, and he despised Li Xian viciously in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but said with a smile: "Sixth brother, the younger brother said earlier, the queen mother will not be idle, no, the action is out, hehe, if the queen mother really wants to protect people, then it is the sixth brother who should be protected. ”
"Hmm, what the seventh brother said is very true, this matter is tricky, does the seventh brother have a way to deal with it?"
Li Xianren is extremely smart, the reason why he didn't expect the twists and turns here before was just because he was in the middle of Lushan, at this time he was mentioned by Li Xian, and he immediately woke up, and then he understood how to deal with the current tricky situation, Li Xian was still lacking in confidence, and he couldn't find a suitable means after muttering for a long time, so he had to push the problem to Li Xian.
"This matter is really tricky, and the younger brother only has a few regulations, so I dare not say that it will be successful."
Li Xian knew that the current situation was very complicated, involving a wide range of areas, and almost all the forces in the DPRK and China were involved, and it was even more difficult to entangle three points than Li Xian expected at the beginning - in Li Xian's initial expectation, the Empress Wu would also make a move, but in Li Xian's mind, the Empress Wu would at most add fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect the Empress Wu to simply move neatly, and unexpectedly played Li Xian, so the situation was immediately complicated. Li Xian's original intention to mediate the conflict between the two brothers is unsustainable, and how to get a mutually acceptable compromise with the prince has become the most disturbing thing for Li Xian at the moment, in fact, Li Xian, who was killed by the Empress Wu, is really not suitable for private contact with the prince at such a sensitive time, in other words, how to operate, Li Xian has not fully considered clearly.
"Seventh brother has something to say, although he says it directly, as long as you and my brother join forces, there will be no hurdle that cannot be passed!"
After so many things have been tested, Li Xian has long been aware of Li Xian's strong ability to calculate, and at this moment, seeing that the solemnity on Li Xian's face does not seem to be fake, his heart can't help but sink slightly, and he hurriedly said a word of encouragement.
"The sixth brother said well, brothers work together, and their profits are broken! can get the sixth brother to control the overall situation, why worry about big things. Li Xian smiled and praised Li Xian, and then turned the topic to business: "Now the matter is easy to say, but at the moment, you and my brother are not suitable to see the prince's brother, how to catch this line is probably a little difficult." ”
"What's ...... this?"
Li Xian didn't understand the meaning of Li Xian's words at first, and he wanted to refute it disapprovingly, but halfway through the words, he suddenly understood the difficulty, and couldn't help but be speechless - Li Xian himself was completely on the opposite side of the prince, and it was impossible for him to reassure the prince by going in person or sending someone to find the prince, let alone sit down with each other to discuss a compromise, as for Li Xian, he was originally the most suitable candidate, but with the killing of the martial queen, he was already on the cusp, Besides, even if the prince is willing to believe it, Li Xian does not dare to easily talk to the prince at this time, just because the Empress Wu has already made a move, it is impossible to leave a backhand, in the case of unclear circumstances, how dare Li Xian rashly sign an alliance with the prince under the city?
"It's not easy to do, does the seventh brother have any other plans?" Li Xian thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't find a good way to get the best of both worlds, so he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Li Xian.
"It's not that there is no way, it's just that you have to take some risks, and the sixth brother is afraid that he will have to suffer some grievances." Li Xian has already considered the whole thing, and he has a plan in his heart, but this plan has to be cooperated by Li Xian, and besides, Li Xian is not completely sure of this plan in his heart, so he will go around in a circle with Li Xian, in order to be able to persuade Li Xian smoothly.
"Oh? What is the seventh brother's clever plan, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, and he can still afford to be a brother with a little grievance. "Li Xian is really out of line, and secondly, in front of Li Xian, he really doesn't want to lose his responsibility as a brother, so although he doesn't know how much grievance Li Xian said, he still accepts it with a mouthful of words.
"Okay, the little brother can just say it, if there is an offense, don't blame the sixth brother." Hearing Li Xian's expression, Li Xian didn't dare to slack off, put it to Li Xian's ear, and whispered, until Li Xian's face changed constantly, and at the end, his face was full of unbelievable surprise......
This chapter of the North Gate Scholars is like a blockbuster**, it was not only the Li Xian brothers who were stunned, but the prince in the East Palace was also caught off guard, and the prince Li Hong, who had been prepared and planned to give the two younger brothers a heavy blow in the court, was completely out of proportion, and in a hurry, he had to recruit a group of henchmen into the East Palace, and discussed it behind closed doors for a long time, but the situation was complicated and difficult to understand, and everyone was like seeing flowers in the fog, and they couldn't find a clue, and the prince was helpless. had to send everyone away again, leaving only Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao, two important ministers, contemplating and speculating on the dynamics of all parties, in order to find the best countermeasure to deal with it, but when he was discussing chaos, he saw Wang Dequan, the deputy director of the Xiande Palace, hurriedly broke in from outside the study, and Li Hong, who was extremely upset, immediately frowned unhappily.
"What's the matter with this flustery?"
Li Hong was annoyed in his heart, and his tone was full of 120,000 impatience.
"Your Highness, something happened."
Wang Dequan saw that Li Hong was displeased, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, his tone was tense and full of excitement, but his eyes swept over the two ministers, Yan and Liu, and he didn't say what happened, and Li Hong's frowning brows suddenly tightened a little......
