Mei Niang was stunned, and felt that Xu Hui's palms were already warm, so she supported her head with one hand and asked interestingly:

"Datang, a lion and a tiger? The tiger is Li Ji, and the lion ...... It must be the eldest grandson? ”

Xu Hui glanced at her:

"Is there anything you don't know?"

Mei Niang smiled coquettishly, and then said:

"It's good that you know. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to raise the status of the British Duke to the top of the ranks, so that he can be on a par with the eldest grandson, but he cannot be ranked among the three dukes. ”

Xu Hui nodded:

"Therefore, in Shangshu Province, there is a position that is most suitable for him."

Mei Niang nodded silently, looked at Xu Hui and said:

"As long as the British public has a proper high position, then ...... Next, it will be much easier for him to act in the court. ”

Xu Hui nodded silently, and said softly:

"It's easy to act in the court, but in the court, there is no need to be taboo too much...... Let's also seek revenge for revenge, and revenge for revenge. ”

Mei Niang's eyes darkened and nodded slightly.

September 13, the twenty-third year of Zhenguan.

Morning.

Xu Xiaode of Shangshu Province played the table, and the post of left servant of Dao Shangshu Province has been vacant for a long time. Previously, due to the sacrifice of the first emperor's spirit, the position was vacant for a while. Now everything is decided, and it must be established.

Therefore, it is an important position of a country, second only to the three dukes, and filial piety asks Li Zhi'en to approve it, and he is appointed by the British Duke Li Ji.

Li Zhi read the watch and praised Xu Xiaode for feeling the country. He also consulted the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers.

When the ministers heard this, they all thought so, and Li Zhi then announced the decree of the court, and from now on, Li Ji, the British Duke of Jin, was the left servant of Shangshu Province.

When Li Ji heard the decree, he was grateful to Xie De, and he stopped three times and bowed nine times.

……

Retreat.

Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji and others had finished their deliberations, so they retreated and dealt with political affairs.

Watching the ministers retreat, Li Zhi glanced at Wang De.

Wang De understood, and after a short time, he led Li Ji, who had escaped from the ministers early and was waiting in the side hall, to enter.

After the etiquette was over, Li Zhi said with a smile:

"Today, Gong Li didn't give in anymore."

Li Jixie smiled silently.

Li Zhi said again:

"But speaking of which, Li Gong is alone in the court, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to care for each other. The fourth brother still had to mention it earlier. The third brother is too-

According to Li Gong's opinion, who should be mentioned first? ”

Li Ji thought for a while and said:

"In terms of theory, all should be His Royal Highness King Tipu. However, there is one thing that the Lord has to think about thoroughly—

First, after all, King Wu has military merits, and there are old ministers, and King Wu's power is not great, because his military merits can only be used by the Lord, not the harm of the Lord.

Second......

His Royal Highness King Pu has a past, if there is no King Wu in the court, it will make the Taiwei people worried, but I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the court. ”

Li Zhi nodded with a smile:

"Exactly. And some people are half-hearted about the fourth brother entering Beijing......

Maybe we just took advantage of the fourth brother's entry into Beijing and got a result! ”

Li Zhi said something, but Li Ji was stunned, and he said happily after a long time:

"Lord wise! If so, it's a plan to kill three birds with one stone! The old minister tried to get in touch with the ministers and summoned King Wu back to Beijing! ”

Li Zhi nodded with a smile.

……

At the same time.

Changan.

In the carriage of the eldest grandson of the Taiwei Commander.

Since the eldest grandson Wuji entered the car, he has closed his eyes and recuperated and has not heard about it at all.

After a long time, Yu Sui Liangcai, who was returning from the car next to him, said softly:

"My lord, in your opinion, what does it mean that this lord has sealed Li Shiji today?"

The eldest grandson Wuji still closed his eyes, and only after a long time did he speak slowly:

"Why?

Aren't you trying to win over one or two? After all, among the three ministers of the first assistant, you and I are all helping each other, but Li Ji has always been unclear.

It's just that he is a man with military power in his hands, so he has to try to get along......

But it's a clever strategy. ”

Yu Suiliang was shocked when he heard this:

"In this way, the Lord has already had some scheming now......

"It should be said that the first emperor has some strategy, right?"

The eldest grandson Wuji slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead expressionlessly:

"Don't forget, who Xu Xiaode is - his daughter, and who is it."

A cold conscience in his heart:

"It's hard to make it, the first emperor ......"

"In any case, what the first emperor wanted to see most was that a hundred flowers bloomed in the Tang Dynasty and all forces were balanced. So it's a last resort to do this.

In fact, Li Gong's ascension to the throne is also beneficial to us. So, just wait and see what happens. ”

Yu Suiliang wiped a cold sweat and nodded yes.

But in the bottom of my heart, I still can't help but feel endless awe for the old man who has left.

A person can still have such a design after death......

What kind of person is he?

……

At the same time.

Tai Chi Palace.

Yunze Temple.

Mei Niang and Xu Hui were sitting and talking, when they suddenly heard that Ryan hurriedly ran in and reported today's incident to the two of them.

Mei Niang was overjoyed when she heard this, and looked at Xu Hui and said:

"Just take one more step, and your great revenge will be avenged!"

Xu Hui nodded silently, and also looked at Mei Niang with tears and said:

"That's true! So, what should we do? ”

Mei Niang thought about it for a while, but beckoned Ryan to come forward, leaned over his ear and muttered a few words, and then watched him nod happily and leave.

There was a hint of a smile on his lips.

September 15, 23rd year of Zhenguan.

Night.

Hearing that Mei Niang had a call, Xu Jingzong was ecstatic, and immediately changed his clothes for himself, and according to Mei Niang's order, he entered the Yongan Wine Shop in West City to meet.

However, when he entered the small seat on the second floor of the winery, he was surprised to find that the person sitting on the main seat was a young and very familiar young man.

"Grandpa Rui?"

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but be disappointed when he couldn't see Mei Niang, but after thinking about Mei Niang's current situation, he also understood quite well, so he immediately bowed and saluted.

When Ruian saw that Xu Jingzong, who was a member of the imperial court, gave such a big gift to him, he instinctively wanted to return the salute, but after thinking about Mei Niang's earnest words before he came, he immediately stopped, got up and pretended to bow and said:

"It's as annoying as Lord Rausch. It's just that our master is really half a step away from the palace at this moment. ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and smiled, and the two sat down separately, Xu Da on one side, and the little guard who accompanied Ryan saw this, so they bowed silently, and each of them withdrew from the hall to guard.

Xu Jingzong said at this time:

"I don't know what the Fang Lord (that is, Mei Niang, Fang Lord is the meaning of the Lord of Ten Thousand Fangs, and it is the elegant name for the beauty at that time), what do you command?"

Ryan nodded with a smile, and then said lightly:

"Presumably Lord Xu also knows that at the moment, the most important thing for our Fang Lord is to see this ......" Speaking of this, Ryan made a big gesture before saying:

“…… Joy. It is because our Fang master has a word, and he also asks Lord Xu to try to make a plan and find more good assistants for this one. ”
