Gaozong's purpose in attacking those forces was not to eradicate the Wu clan's people, but to completely suppress the Wu clan's influence.

Although he is no longer sitting in the palace to participate in politics, as long as there is still a breath of air, Datang still belongs to the world surnamed Li.

Empress Wu is becoming more and more powerful, and she just took advantage of this incident to severely suppress the arrogance of the Wu family, which is of great benefit to protect the royal family surnamed Li.

Li couldn't help but sigh at the bottom of his heart that his political wisdom was still very lacking, including King Ming and King Jiancheng, who were not in the position of emperor, and would not have that deeper political foresight ability.

It seems that he was forced to the palace to his head, and he had to secretly order himself in Chang'an City to help him, at this time, it seems that such a move to ask for help is not a means?

From this point of view, the terminally ill illusion that Gaozong conveyed to the outside world was also somewhat done to him, which was the idea that came to Li Zhi's mind at this time.

It's just a coincidence, not only did he establish a more unbreakable cooperative relationship with him, but also used a message to make the emperor, who was deeply hidden by Huwei, couldn't help but show his fangs.

Lunch was served in this room, and before the deliverer arrived, Gojong had returned to his previous malaise, but had already sat up.

During this period, he never talked to Li Zhi about practical problems again, mechanically chewed the food brought by the waiter, and occasionally promised Li Zhi some small things such as commercial houses and the deployment of palace personnel.

These promises are also normal, Princess Taiping has a stake in Zhengqing Wenqitang, and the entire Tang Dynasty is surnamed Li, and it is not casual to help her daughter with some small favors.

Li Xian also arrived before the meal, this was the first time he had accompanied the emperor to dine after he was forcibly recruited to Luoyang.

He knew his father's true physical condition, so not only did he not have a trace of jealousy for Li Zhi, who had already arrived, but he was secretly grateful in his heart.

Because according to common sense, the emperor is very angry about what he did in Chang'an City, and has been avoiding it, and not abolishing the status of the prince is the greatest tolerance.

When Li Yi appeared, he remembered to summon him and let him accompany him to dinner, of course he thought that someone had helped him with good words.

In fact, Li Xian's arrival was completely Gaozong's idea, and the king of a country who can control the overall situation, and it is also very meaningful to say a word casually.

Since he has regarded Li Zhi as the greatest reliance to protect the royal family surnamed Li, it is still necessary to create a condition for him to establish a good relationship with the prince.

Li Xian is in awe of the emperor again, and he is also the king in the future, without his support, Li Zhi's plan will not be easy to exercise.

Because he didn't know if his father was really angry, Li Xian didn't feel like talking much, but when Li Zhi glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, he responded to a few trivial things.

The lunch time was over soon, and before Li Xian left, Gaozong specially gave him a spirit stone handle, "This is sent by Mr. Li, you also have one, remember to wear it closely, don't give it to others!" ”

Li Xianqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and respectfully retreated to leave.

After discussing with Li Zhi for a while, he signaled that he could go.

Who knows, when Li Zhi was about to go out, Gaozong suddenly spoke: "Mr. Li, what do you think Taiping's personality is like her mother?" ”

Only Li Zhixin understood this, and the so-called yin and yang were declining, and the other party knew that he had not told Princess Taiping.

He was about to answer, but Gaozong was already raising his hand: "Go, remember to be better to Taiping, this kid has a bad fate, and it is extremely pitiful!" ”

Li Zhi walked silently on the way to get the horse, and unconsciously there was a slight sweat stain and coolness behind him.

Gaozong obviously saw something about Taiping's unprovoked dedication this morning, and combined with the in-depth communication between himself and him, he could actually think of a lot of internal things.

This person does not have the foresight and magical perception ability like Li Zhi, and the depth of seeing problems is completely out of his own wisdom and insight.

Li Zhi thought that if he didn't have the ability to bless, he would be too much worse than this old man.

For a while, his admiration for Gaozong was much deeper.

Not surprisingly, not far from the palace gate, Li Xian was waiting for him, beside him and his entourage.

After a brief greeting, Li Zhi took the initiative to mention: "The saint still has high expectations for the prince, and I have talked with the old man for a long time, mainly about the trade of the southern port. I didn't say a few words about the crown prince, but I also sighed, saying that the brotherhood between you and the prince is very deep, which makes him feel very gratified! ”

Li Xian's expression was obviously a lot more down-to-earth, "I know that Mr. Li is very well treated by the emperor, what can I not do in the future, and I ask Mr. Li to guide me in time!" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly surrendered his hand and humbly conceded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is joking, how dare the text be a guide!" As a royal family, I am willing to go to the soup for the royal family, and there is no other word! ”

Li Xianle said: "In private, I treat you as a brother, and you don't talk about the king anymore, on the status of the person!" ”

Li Zhixin smiled secretly: Yes, at this time, I already want to talk about the monarch and the minister, and this mood is too impatient.

He was not slow in his mouth, and continued: "Since His Highness has said it so clearly, it is not good for me to pretend to be confused anymore. If the prince has any questions, please ask, I know everything! ”

"Didn't the emperor mention something else besides the construction of the port?"

has been in the royal family for more than 20 years, and Li Xian will not be ignorant.

Especially when he knew that his father was hiding himself with the help of the sick, he had no plan in his heart and could not.

Li Zhi looked around in a pretentious gesture: "The saint said about Taishan and his party, saying that someone was forcing the palace, which made him very annoyed. ”

Li Xian was convinced of such news: "The queen mother has indeed done a little too much. Didn't his father say that he would take Zeyang's response measures? ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "The prince thinks too highly of me, with your understanding of the saint, this is already a confidential matter between the imperial power, how can his old man reveal more to me?" ”

Also, Aya was accustomed to being heeded by others, but would never tell him directly. Especially for such a secret matter, it is not easy to complain to Mr. ”

But it seems that the Holy One has settled this matter with certainty, and I don't know the specific reason. It's just that based on the expression, it doesn't look like it's taken to heart. ”

"An emperor, a queen, alas, children are caught in it, it tastes very uncomfortable, and you can't do anything yet!"

"I suggest that the prince should not get involved in this matter, maybe the saint has already made up his mind, otherwise how could he not summon the prince at a critical juncture? After all, you are the prince he single-handedly decided, who will you consult if you don't consult? ”

"Sir, you mean you want me to pretend I don't know?"

"It's not that you don't know, but you just wait and see! Imagine, whether the incident happens or not, the crown prince is the most affected person, because you are the first person to succeed to the throne, and there will be a lot of speculation from others if you don't participate in it. ”

"More gentleman's guidance, I seem to understand a little!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if I say a few more blunt words, there is a strong Empress Wu, who dares to force the palace to the Holy Lord today, and dares to forcibly intervene in government affairs tomorrow, but the Tang Dynasty only belongs to the surname Li after all, and a small coercion is nothing, as long as the surname Wu is not forced to overpower the surname Li, the prince can temporarily hide his light, show less edge, and secretly store his strength is the best."

"I have to say that the theme in Mr. Li's words is a bit big! However, I understand your loyalty, and your starting point is based on the surname Lee. ”

"I am only a descendant of a Tang courtier, thanks to the royal family given the surname, and the honor of the saint to give the word royal and Shang Fang sword, not long ago awarded the title of the king of loyalty, this life will not forget the saint's generous treatment of me Li Zhengwen. I don't hide it, today the saint explained to me again, and I will not be left behind to protect the imperial power of the surname Li, so guarding the royal family surnamed Li is the only way for me to repay it, and I dare not forget it until I die! That's why I dare to give a direct advice to the prince, the surname Wu is only his surname in my eyes, and the purpose of doing anything is only to consider the surname Li, protect the surname Li, I dare to give everything! ”

"It's rare that Mr. Li is sincere, I remember your words!" Li Xian seemed to be a little emotional.

"Your Highness, the premise is that we are not the time to fight hard, I can charge into battle, but you are the banner surnamed Li, there is no room for negligence, forbearance is not cowardice and pushing, but accumulating strength, ready to go!" The crown prince also knows that I am a cultivator myself, and I cannot interfere in government affairs, and today's words will be the only time, and I will incarnate as a pure businessman in the future, and I will no longer have the slightest involvement in the core of power. Once the prince is in power in the future, I will appear as a soldier at any time, and wherever the banner surnamed Li points to, I will kill wherever it goes! ”

Li Xian looked at Li Yi deeply and patted him on the shoulder, "No wonder the emperor will give you the title of Loyal and Righteous King!" Mr. Li, Brother Zhengwen, I have written down what I said today! ”

Li Zhi was not in a moment's excitement, or on a whim, but that he knew that the martial queen was terrible.

This fierce woman who has created many firsts in Chinese history has a difficult political road, because of the power struggle, she can brutally kill her own sons one after another.

It was Li Hong and Li Xian's ignorance and forbearance that would not pretend to be their grandson, thus putting themselves in the most dangerous situation.

He doesn't want Li Xian to follow in the footsteps, because of his appearance, there have been many changes in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian has the heart to be the emperor, and if he changes Li Tang into Wu Zhou, he must support the Wu clan and eliminate all dissident forces that threaten the Wu clan.

Once Li Xian has a slight strong performance, Empress Wu feels threatened, and it is not ruled out that she will let Li Xian disappear like his brother.

There is no one surnamed Li who carries the banner, how can he say that he will make a comeback in the future.

Maybe Li Xian will not fully understand Li Zhi's good intentions at this moment, and if he thinks more about it in the future, he will realize the profound meaning inside.

After that, Li Zhi's attitude relaxed, "Her Royal Highness the princess is currently my partner, and the prince doesn't want to go with me to have a look?" Besides, you and I are communicating here, not necessarily not paying attention in secret, and I can also use the prince's fame to bring more business to Zhengqing Wenqitang. ”

Li Xianle said: "I have this intention, it seems that overnight, the name of Zhengqing Wenqitang will resound in Luoyang City, I also want to see the actual situation!" ”

As soon as he beckoned, an entourage led the horse over, a group of more than a dozen people, and soon went out of the palace gate with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's words are not casually spoken, the power of exploration can be perceived almost everywhere in the palace, and no one of the explorations is not lower than that of a second-level master, and there will naturally be people from the side of the martial arts in it.

Li Xian's arrival caused a great sensation, and Zhengqing Wenqitang fell into a brief turmoil because of this.

Fortunately, with the presence of a large number of Janissaries, order was quickly brought under control.

Princess Taiping was naturally happy when she saw her brother coming, and the importance of the prince was far stronger than the influence of several princesses.

By showing up, he is undoubtedly expressing his sense of identity, which has infinite potential implications for business.

And faintly, there is also a small joy in her heart, Li Zhineng and the prince appeared together, and it seems that there is talk and laughter between them, and the two obviously get along well.

There are more visitors today than last night, and the families of many powerful families have appeared on a large scale.

Therefore, it also means that more people have identified the identity of the prince, and the previous turmoil was caused by these people, and the next sales soared, and they were also the main force.

This is the influence of power, there is no need to express it deliberately, my appearance here is to reveal my intention, and those people are not desperate to support the prince.

As a result, the clerks became busier for a while, and the carrying figures to and from the warehouse became more and more frequent.

Li Xian and his entourage didn't stay long, and after a stick of incense, they said goodbye to the master and left, but because of this, Zhengqing Wenqitang brought more and more people to the flow of people!
