Chapter 172: Robbery while the fire is on fire

In fact, Li Xian had long expected that his cheap brother would come, because the relationship between the other party and Empress Wu had not been good since childhood, and he was worried that Empress Wu would make him the prince, so in order to be able to sit on the throne of the prince, he would definitely come to find himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But this is not to say that Li Xian has no expectations for this at all, after all, this is a very important opportunity for him to make a fortune, since Li Xian wants to be the prince, and he still has a request for others, at this time, why don't he take the opportunity to blackmail, take advantage of the fire to rob, and fish in troubled waters, is that still his style?

So these days, it seems that he is constantly calculating in his head, how to maximize his interests, and at the same time not let Li Xian tear his face and hate himself.

Although the benefits are easy to obtain, but this degree is the most difficult to grasp, there are too many people who are laughed at because they give up the benefits they have received, and even lose many important opportunities because of this, but there are more people who eventually die because of excessive greed for profits.

"Hehe, there is the sixth brother Lao who came in person, the younger brother is really ashamed, what does the sixth brother command, just find a slave to give an order, why bother to run in person?" Li Xian naturally went to the gate of the mansion to greet him in person, and then let Li Xian into the study, since he knew that there was something, if he was still allowed to enter the hall, it would not only not give Li Xian face, but also not give himself face, for this, Li Xian naturally understood very well.

"Brother Wei has not been to the Seventh Brother's Mansion for so many years, but I didn't expect that the Seventh Brother turned out to be a chest hidden in the hills and ravines, and he would arrange the palace so exquisitely, such a comparison, my Nayong Mansion should really be abandoned." Li Xian had something to say, and as soon as he came up, he thought about throwing out the purpose of his coming today.

But he didn't expect Li Xian to be in trouble with Ben, and pretended to be stupid and said, "What did my brother say?" The palace of the sixth brother is luxurious and magnificent, and the younger brother has heard of it for a long time, but the younger brother does not have so much money, and he is really ashamed to build a good royal mansion like the sixth brother. ”

Seeing this, Li Xian had no choice but to laugh heartily, and continued to nod the other party: "Haha, this matter is actually very easy to say, if one day you move for your brother, how about giving that royal mansion to your seventh brother?" ”

"What's so embarrassing about this? Such a luxurious palace is estimated to be worth thousands of yuan, how can the younger brother He De be able to undertake the palace of the sixth brother? By the way, is Brother Wang ready to move? I don't know where to dispose of my new home? The younger brother also wants to see it. Li Xian still didn't pick up, and said with a smirk.

Seeing Li Xian like this, Li Xian had no choice but to completely extinguish the idea of letting the other party take the initiative to mention it, then put away his smiling face and sighed softly: "Seventh brother, in fact, this time for my brother, I am mainly worried about the fate of the country, you also know that some time ago, the prince and my brother died suddenly, so that my Tang Dynasty is missing a Ming Jun, it is really a painful matter, but my father is sick and cannot manage the government, and the position of the prince is not a way, but the eighth brother is young, so the position of the prince can only be taken by one of you and me. I am proficient in all the tactics of war, which is really a fortunate thing for my Tang Dynasty, so I specially discussed with the virtuous brother, and prepared to recommend the virtuous brother to my father as the crown prince, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants? ”

Li Xianyan suddenly looked shocked when he heard this, shook his hand and said: "The sixth brother is laughing, the younger brother is just a brave man, where can he be a prince?" Besides, the ancient law has clouds, the son is not the longest, the son is not the longest, the fifth brother of the prince has passed away, and the elder brother is already the eldest son, who else can take the position of the prince this time? The younger brother has this ability, and he only wants his brother to expand the territory and protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty, so he will be satisfied. ”

"This, how can this be? Alas, like the virtuous brother is so high-winded and bright, this world is really difficult to find, the foolish brother is really admired, since the virtuous brother is so sincere, if the foolish brother shirks again, it will seem a little hypocritical, please rest assured, if the foolish brother is the prince, he will not forget the virtue of the virtuous brother today, and there will be a day in the future after the father and the emperor are long lived, I am the emperor, the virtuous brother is the governor of the world's military, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and lead my Tang warriors to expand the territory, you and my brothers cooperate to create a strong Tang Dynasty, what a happy thing it should be. ”

"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say." Li Xian listened to the incendiary words that Li Xian said, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart: "If you ascend the throne, I'm afraid that the first one will liquidate me, the 'generalissimo of all the military forces in the world and the soldiers and horses of the world'." If I believed you, I didn't know how many times I would have died. ”

However, Li Xian still had to take care of the other party's face, and said: "In this way, Weichen will thank the prince." ”

"Hehe, don't say that, it's not that far. By the way, if there is anything that needs help for his brother recently, as long as he can do it for his brother, he will definitely do it. ”

Li Xian could tell from Li Xian's expression that Li Xian didn't seem very happy, because it was obvious that he just gave the other party an empty promise. There is no actual benefit, as for a small royal mansion, he is naturally not stupid enough to think that giving this away is equivalent to giving the other party great benefits, so he has the above words.

Whether Li Xian pretends to be stupid or pretends to be low-key today, the purpose is for this scene, and now when he sees Li Xian speak, he will naturally not be polite, and directly said: "Little brother has a list here, if my brother becomes a prince in the future, I hope to take care of it." ”

Next, Li Xian took out a **** silk from his arms, with the name of the person and the position to be appointed written on it: "Lu Zhaolin, the original position is the new lieutenant of Yizhou (from the ninth grade), and the proposed school secretary (is the ninth grade); Guo Zhen, formerly the school secretary (on the ninth grade), is proposed to be the head of the ministry (from the eighth grade); Luo Bin Wang, the original position is Zuo Shizhi (from the eight products), and he is proposed to supervise the imperial history (on the eight products); Chen Ziang, Bai Ding, planned to be made Zhaowen Pavilion (that is, Hongwen Pavilion, and later changed its name because of the avoidance of Prince Li Hongzhi). ”

"This, this, Qilang, it's not for my brother to say you, although these officials you ask for are not of high grade, but they are all key departments, this Lu Zhaolin's school secretary is not difficult, but Guo Zhen's head of the Ministry of Officials, Luo Binwang's supervision of the imperial history and Chen Ziang's Zhaowen Pavilion are not easy, the head of the Ministry of Officials is the main selection of talents, the supervision of the imperial history is in charge of the supervision of hundreds of officials, and there is the right to play the news, and the Zhaowen Pavilion is even more amazing, it is a person who is a holy advisor, all of them are knowledgeable people, or a prodigy like Yang Jiong, What kind of category is this Chen Ziang? Seeing the list handed over by Li Xian, Rao is Li Xian thought he was very remarkable, but he also had a sad face, and hesitated and didn't dare to agree.

But he heard Li Xian laugh and said: "Sixth brother, don't hide it anymore, the younger brother has already known, Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yuan Sili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have already expressed their allegiance to the sixth brother, so it is not difficult for the head of the Ministry of Officials, the school secretary and the Zhaowen Pavilion to be systematized, as for this supervision of the imperial history, how can the younger brother not know that Cui Miyi in the imperial history also voted for his brother's door?" ”

"Hehe, the wisdom of the virtuous brother's ears and eyes is really admirable, and now, the brother will not hide it, the matter is just as the virtuous brother said, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Historical Observatory are already under the control of the elder brother, if you want to promote these six products have been under the control of the junior officials, although it is somewhat difficult, but it is not impossible to do, but the virtuous brother should keep in mind that from now on, you and I brothers are close brothers and sisters, and we should work together."

Li Xian was drunk by the other party, and he was not annoyed, hehe laughed twice and agreed to Li Xian's request, but also took this opportunity to ask Li Xian to cooperate with him and jointly resist the pressure from the martial queen.

Li Xian is not stupid, of course he knows that the two did not have much deep friendship, and now cooperation is just profit-driven, if there is really one day when the pressure of the Empress Wu is too great, Li Xian will definitely choose to betray him immediately, and when the time comes, he will not step on a few more feet when he falls, and he will already be worthy of people.

Of course, Li Xian didn't say anything about this, because why didn't he need this kind of cooperation? Not only because he can obtain certain benefits from Li Xian, but also because he has to rely on Li Xian's protective umbrella to cover his secret operations.

Now that Li Hong is dead, the huge power he painstakingly built up during his lifetime has also collapsed overnight, and Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yuan Sili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Cui Mi, the middle secretary, and Li Yiyan, the servant of the Chinese Scholar, have all secretly expressed their allegiance to Li Xian.

In addition, the military department waiter Xiao Dezhao, the criminal department waiter Zhang Chu, the counselor Xue Yuanchao, the Huangmen waiter Pei Yan, the Jinbu Lang Zhonglu lawyer and others turned to the Wuhou Gate, in addition, the military queen also recruited a group of generals, such as Heiya Changzhi, Cheng Wuting, Qiu Shenji, Ashina Daozhen, Ashina Zhong, Quan boy, Murong Nuo, Li Zhan and others, especially for the hundred cavalry soldiers, in addition to the literati discussion team, mainly his "North Gate Bachelor" people, such as Yuan Wanqing, Fan Lubing, Liu Yizhi, Miao Shenke, Hu Chubin and others can be said to be in power for a while, even Hao Chujun and others, who are loyal to Gaozong, and Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenqian and others, who are still wavering and have not decided to belong, are prime ministers, but they dare not take their edge.

"Hehe, the virtuous brother should also know that the position of the prince is uncertain for a day, and our queen mother has one more day to be able to profit from the chaos, and our strength will be weakened for one more day, so the brother thinks that we should take action as soon as possible, so let's wait for tomorrow morning, I will send someone to propose the reinstatement of the prince, I hope that the virtuous brother can support the brother at that time, if someone suggests that the virtuous brother is the prince, alas, for the sake of the overall situation, I hope that the virtuous brother will not forget the words of today's shock, For the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty country, and for the people to have no war, you and my brothers must not fight in the same room, so that other people's fishermen can benefit, eh, I say this, can the third brother understand? ”

"Hehe, the younger brother naturally knows that the sixth brother is relaxed, and the younger brother will definitely cooperate at that time," Li Xian gave the other party a relaxed look and comforted him. (To be continued.) )
