Chapter 173: Li Xian as a Lobbyist (1)

Sending Li Xian away, Li Xian didn't stop at all, and immediately took action, starting the most important negotiation in his life, the biggest deal, I believe that as long as this deal is completed, give him a few more years of room for development, and when he takes over the throne of the prince in the future, he will have the strength to compete with the Empress Wu, and he no longer wants to be in the situation of being slaughtered like in history. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This deal is to do everything in their power to win over the two people who are vacillating, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenjun, who are also the two prime ministers of the political affairs hall.

Unlike others, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian are the sworn friends of the crown prince Li Hong, they began to assist and teach the prince as soon as Li Hong sat on the throne of the prince, it can be said that Li Hong is treated as his own son, of course, this is emotionally said, but intellectually it is to regard Li Hong as the object of allegiance after the death of the emperor, and decided to wait until Gaozong dies and the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely assist him to become a Taoist monarch, at least it should be a famous monarch like Tang Taizong.

They think they are the famous Tang Dynasty ministers Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and they are the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng.

But unexpectedly, the crown prince Li Hong died suddenly, which can be said to have broken their dreams and made them immediately fall into deep grief.

While grieving, they were also puzzled, because the physical condition of the crown prince Li Hong was actually clearer than Li Hong himself, and there should be no sudden aggravation of his condition anyway.

"Alas, Dai Xiang, do you think it could be that the queen of heaven is worried that the power of filial piety to the emperor is too great and cannot be controlled, so she disregards the affection of her mother and son and assassinates ......" Zhang Wenqian has been thinking about this for several days, and there is always a doubt in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it, but now here in Dai Zhide, he always feels like a fish in his throat, and he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy, so he speaks.

saw Dai Zhide hurriedly said: "Zhang Xiang, is this also nonsense?" This is in the little brother's mansion, if it is outside, just your words will immediately lead to the disaster of extermination. ”

"Hehe, I naturally understand this matter, I'm not just talking about it in your house. It's a pity that we are all prime ministers, and we can't even say the truth publicly. Zhang Wenqian suddenly sighed when he heard this, and his expression looked a little lonely.

Dai Zhide also sighed deeply when he heard this, and said softly: "This is the reality, even if it is the prime minister, there are many things that can be powerless, don't say that I am just guessing now, even if I have enough evidence, what can I do with that person?" Hehe, even if the emperor is in her hands, what can we do? What's more, she is her biological mother, not someone else? She wants to kill her own child, this is a family matter, and who can control it? We, I'm afraid we can only live a messy life like this now, as long as nothing major happens during our tenure, we can spend the second half of our lives in peace, and when we get the Yin Si, we will make amends to the prince. ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being knocked open, and then saw a person break in from outside the door, and said loudly: "The two ministers are so bold that they dare to suspect that the death of the filial piety emperor is the work of the queen of heaven. ”

Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenjun suddenly saw outsiders breaking in, and heard their private conversation, and suddenly their faces were as pale as earth, especially Dai Zhide, who was naturally embarrassed when he saw that his mansion was broken into at will, and his face turned red.

At this time, the guards of Dai Mansion heard the voice and immediately followed, especially the guard Diane who took the lead, his face was full of disbelief. He was confident that with his deployment, not even a single mosquito could fly in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't know how the other party got in?

Therefore, Diane brandished a horizontal knife and wanted to slash at the comer.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard his master shout categorically: "Diane, wait and go down, there is nothing to do with you here." ”

"But Ah Lang, this thief in front of you ......" Diane pointed to the man in black, and then looked at his handsome face, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Wait a minute, this person is a friend of the Essence." Dai Zhide glanced at Diane with unquestioning eyes, waved his hand, and let him go down.

"Yes, Xianggong." Diane had no choice but to go down, still wondering in her heart, I don't know when her master had such a talented friend?

After Diane finally retreated, Dai Zhide arched his hand to the visitor and said lightly: "It's deeper in the middle of the night, I don't know why His Excellency King Zhou trespassed into the official mansion?" Although you are a prince, you can't enter other people's houses at will, right? ”

It turned out that when the man took off the scarf, Dai Zhide found that the other party was Li Xian, the king of Zhou, so he asked Dai An to retreat, but although he knew that the other party could not be malicious to him, he was unknowingly broken into his house, and he also eavesdropped on Fang Cai's conversation, and no one would be comfortable, so in this way, Dai Zhide's tone of speaking to him was already extremely polite.

But unexpectedly, Li Xian said indifferently: "If Xiao Wang hadn't entered Dai Xiang's mansion in this way, I'm afraid he wouldn't have heard Dai Xiang's conversation, right?" Dai Xiang actually had a secret meeting with Zhang Xiang in the middle of the night, and said such a thing, what did he want? ”

"Hmph, what is the intention of the king to come to the official mansion late at night to eavesdrop? Could it be just to spy on the lower officials? Hehe, don't say that supervising the affairs of officials is the responsibility of the Imperial Historical Tower, and it has nothing to do with the king, even if the king really has the right to take care of this matter, I'm afraid that it is unreasonable to break into people's houses (private houses) at night, right? ”

"Hehe, how can it be called unreasonable? The so-called world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, although Dai Xiang's mansion is private, but it is always within the jurisdiction of the saint, Dai Xiang cannibalized the court, but said such disloyal words in the house, have you ever felt guilty in your heart? Li Xian didn't pay much attention to Dai Zhide's flowers, but instead ridiculed him.

saw that Dai Zhide was speechless for a while, but in the end, he turned his heart sideways and said boldly: "Who said that I was unfaithful?" Hehe, I Dai Zhide has been dedicating this body to the Tang Dynasty in this life, but it is precisely because of loyalty that we dare to say what we want, what is the use of saying this? Who doesn't know that filial piety to the emperor is weak? However, as a close minister of the crown prince, he also knew that the prince's condition had long been under control, and it was impossible to threaten his life, and now he passed away suddenly. Since His Excellency the King of Zhou has discovered this matter, and the lower officials have nothing to say, the king can enter the palace now, and I am just dead, what is the way? It's just that Zhang Xiang has nothing to do with this matter, and he asks the king to let him go. ”

Li Xian immediately laughed when he heard this, and then bowed to Dai Zhide, and said: "I really didn't expect Dai Gong to be so loyal, but Xiao Wang was rude, please don't blame if you offend, don't hide Dai Xiang, Zhang Xiang, Xiao Wang also suspects that the fifth brother of the prince was poisoned, so he has been angry, but Xiao Wang has asked to see Dai Gong many times, but has been turned away, and has no choice but to make this decision, break into Dai Gongzun's mansion at night, hehe, but the little prince felt that a trip was not in vain, and finally saw my Tang Dynasty loyal and upright person, although my brother died, There are also Xiao Dezhao, Xue Yuanchao, Zhang Chu and other generations of thieves who see the wind and rudder and recognize the thief as their father, as well as Li Jingxuan, Yuan Sili and others who took refuge in the upstart and are ready to assist the new prince, only two ministers do not forget the prince's kindness, and actually think about the prince's grievances. My deceased brother saluted the two ministers and thanked them for not forgetting my brother's old relationship. ”

"Huh? This, which one is this singing? Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian saw that Li Xian burst into tears in the end, with a sincere face, and couldn't help but be stunned, but no matter what, the other party thanked him in the name of the prince who had just died, which they couldn't afford, so they hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they didn't dare to take it.

After a few people finished the salute in a hurry, Li Xian said: "Xiao Wang Fangcai's words don't mean anything else, just try to say something, but seeing that the second prince is upright and loyal, how dare he deceive again?" Therefore, I would like to say something from the bottom of my heart to the second prince today, and please don't mind the second duke. Shi Cai heard that the death of the prince was a family affair of Xiao Wang, and since my queen mother was the prince's biological mother, she had the right to dispose of it, even if she killed it, no one could take care of it. To tell the truth, the two ministers said this differently, Xiao Wang did not dare to agree, in this life, the most precious thing is life, life is only once for everyone, except for their own not to cherish, no one can be deprived at will, even biological parents are no exception, not to mention that the prince is the prince of the country, the death of the prince is not only a family matter, but also a state affair, a matter of the world, the prince is a strange injustice through the ages, how can we as courtiers? ”

But when he saw Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian looking at each other, they all looked up to the sky and sighed, but then it was Zhang Wenqian who opened his mouth and said: "Don't hide it from the king, the lower officials and others are naturally unwilling in their hearts, and they feel that they can't live with the prince's kindness in the past, but the matter has come to this, even if we don't even want our lives, how can we avenge the prince?" Let's not mention that this matter involves royal face, even His Majesty the Emperor will not allow this case to be filed, even if the Son of Heaven disregards his face and really files the case, and the case is cleared, how should the Son of Heaven deal with that person? With today's weakness, I'm afraid I can't help that person crying, right? ”

"What Zhang Xiang said is indeed true, but Xiao Wang didn't expect his father to be able to do this, but everyone has a scale in their hearts, and history will always give a fair answer, if the second prince can be trusted, one day in the future, Xiao Wang will definitely overturn the case for the prince, but I don't know if the second prince is willing to help me?"

Li Xian stared at the two prime ministers with a pair of eyes and asked calmly. (To be continued.) )
