Chapter 488: The Game (I)

The sky gradually got dark, but the snow fell a lot heavier, the north wind that had stopped for a day blew again, blowing bigger and bigger, the sound of the wind sounded as harsh as a ghost crying wolf in the dark, and the huge snowflakes mixed with the wind hit the paper window lattice, making a crackling sound, all of which made Li Zhen, who was already in a bad mood, even more annoyed, pacing around the wide study with a calm face, and between the glittering lights in his eyes, there was a faint wisp of murderous aura overflowing in all directions.

It's so hard to do something practical! This really gave Li Zhen a headache The possible counterattack of a group of Guanlong magnates was expected by Li Zhen as early as Li Zhen, and the black hands of the brothers were also common, but Li Zhen never thought that Li Ke and other seemingly shrewd people would use the means of the people who could no longer do it to prevent the people's mouth more than to prevent Sichuan, this is not a difficult truth since ancient times, even in later generations when science and technology and civilization are extremely developed, it is still the case, not because the people are unwise, but because there is a blind herd mentality in human nature, which is the inferior root of human nature, Since ancient times, the so-called people have been involved in killing people in this way, once the people have become a common mode of resolving contradictions, then the chaos in the world will appear, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached?

The reason why Li Zhen proposed to immigrate to Kanto this time was only to delay the time of the collapse of the Juntian system, so as to buy some time for the complete abolition of the Juntian system in the future and the implementation of the Tianfu system. It's just that this determination is not easy to make, not only Li Zhen's own strength, but more importantly, the old man's reaction has to be considered, so even if the murderous aura in Li Zhen's eyes is getting stronger and stronger, he never dares to really say that he will come out, and after pacing back and forth in the study for a long time, he finally turned his eyes to the two strategists sitting in the corner of the study, and muttered for a while: "Two gentlemen, the matter has come to this, is there any good plan?"

The two strategists have already learned about the things outside from the urgent report from the rising sun, and the two strategists did not agree with Li Zhen to put forward "Immigration Shu" at this time, at this time, seeing that Li Zhen's eyes were becoming more and more murderous, their faces showed a worried look, and when Li Zhen asked, after the two strategists glanced at each other, Na Long took the lead in speaking: & Your Highness, judging from the current situation, the situation is indeed worrying, but there may not be no room for turnaround, the key to the matter is not on His Royal Highness King Wu, but on the eldest grandson Situ.

&Well, this palace has also thought about this, the eldest grandson Lao'er obviously doesn't approve of the third child's nonsense, if this palace takes this opportunity to win the third, the eldest grandson Lao'er may not stand up for him. A fine light flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, and she echoed in a cold voice.

Li Zhen said this with confidence, this is not surprising, just with the strength of & Rising Sun, the gang of rats under Wu King Li Ke privately instigated Diao Min to make trouble all under the monitoring of & Rising Sun, one to take a quasi, under the vine touch melon, it is not a problem to take down the main messenger behind it, but it is not easy to say what the old man will think, after all, this kind of brother on the wall has been too frequent over the years, and the face of the court has been almost lost, just the old man's good-faced personality, In case the anger comes to Li Zhen's head, it is not a good thing.

>> What His Royal Highness said is good, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable, so it's better to be cautious. Seeing that Li Zhen seemed to intend to take this opportunity to get rid of King Wu, Na Long obviously disagreed, but Li Zhen was angry at this time, and Na Long did not dare to persuade him, so he had to carry out Li Shimin's big signboard.

&Hmm. Although Li Zhen was unhappy in his heart, he still responded sullenly and took the opportunity to take down Li Ke, but it was a big trouble to clean up the mess, after all, Li Zhen had just reached a certain tacit understanding with the old man before, and he really didn't want to be estranged again because of this matter, and as a prince, it was not a good thing to be too strong, how to say that Li Shimin was a generation of emperors with a strong desire for power, if Li Shimin felt the threat of the prince, then I was afraid that there would be some bad changes.

>> Your Highness, what Brother Na said is very true, and now that the matter has not yet reached the time when the swords meet, although this matter is dangerous, it is not impossible to solve it. Mo Li, who was silent on the side, saw that Li Zhen was very unhappy, so he shook the feather fan and said with a smile.

&Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Zhen saw that Mo Li looked confident, but he was interested, and the chill on his face decreased, so he hurriedly asked.

Mo Li smiled, shook the feather fan slowly, adjusted his sitting posture for a while, and then continued: "The eldest grandson Situ and His Royal Highness King Wu are just using each other, in fact, they are not all the way, this article is also in His Royal Highness's heart, and there is no need to say more, however, there is a question that is always unclear, that is, in the mind of the eldest grandson Situ, whether the interests of the Guanlong Gate Valve are important, or the wealth and inheritance of his eldest grandson's family is important, but I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks?

&Huh? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed, as if he had grasped the key to it, and frowned and said: "The eldest grandson and the old man have been together for many years, neither greedy nor very powerful, and he is indeed honest and self-disciplined in terms of self-discipline, although the palace does not like this person, but he can't say that he is not, just his sons, hehe, but Li Zhen originally wanted to say that the eldest grandson Wuji has no successor, and his sons are all mediocre, but suddenly remembered that the eldest grandson Wuji's most outstanding son, the eldest grandson Chengliang, was destroyed in his own hands, and he couldn't go on when he started talking.

&A certain view is slightly different from that of His Highness. Mo Li knew what the root cause of Li Zhen's words was not to go down halfway, but he didn't say anything, he smiled and placed the feather fan on a few beside him, took a sip of the tea bowl, moistened his throat, and then continued: & The eldest grandson Situ is not greedy, that is because he does not need to be greedy, His Majesty has many rewards because of the old reasons, so there is no need for the eldest grandson Situ to reach out and be greedy for ink, and it is better to explain that it is better to explain that because he does not take power, His Majesty is willing to give power to him, but His Royal Highness is different from His Majesty after all, what His Majesty is willing to do, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness may not approve of it, and people will lose if they don't have long-term worries, according to a certain point of view, the eldest grandson Situ's move is not like a death with His Royal Highness, but like a move to make peace with His Royal Highness in private.

&Oh? Li Zhen didn't expect this, as soon as she heard it, she was stunned, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and then thought carefully about the letter sent by Cui Ze, and faintly felt that Mo Li's words seemed reasonable, but the matter was too important, Li Zhen didn't dare to make a judgment suddenly, and he was a little stupid when he thought about it for a while.

In Li Zhen's mind, although there are many people who are not good at Guanlongmen, there are many capable people, although there are suspicions of good and bad, but Datang is temporarily inseparable from the support of this group of sub-gate valve families, after all, nearly half of the officials in the entire Datang official eunuch system are from Guanlongmen, before the imperial examination has not been large-scale, Guanlongmen, the valve was originally immobile, Li Zhen did not have the intention of completely sweeping away the Guanlongmen, of course, others want to misunderstand, that is also a helpless thing, If you can take this opportunity to reach a certain understanding with the eldest grandson Wuji, the head of the Guanlong Gate Valve, it will naturally be a good thing, the problem is that if you make a mistake in judgment, which leads to the authority of others, then the fun will be great, even if Li Zhengui is the prince, he can't afford to bear the consequences, and how to act is not for Li Zhen to be careless.

& The palace heard that the eldest grandson Situ was sick, if he rushed to condole overnight, would it make it? Li Zhen paced in the study for a while, stopped suddenly, raised her eyebrows, and asked indifferently.

& His Royal Highness is going, then it is clear that the carriage and horses are going, this move is the pillar of caring for the country, even if others have something to say, even if His Majesty knows, he will only praise His Highness's benevolence. Na Long lowered his head and muttered without answering, but Mo Li laughed and replied.

>> It's okay to go down, but it's not good to go empty-handed, so I think I should bring some gifts. Naron looked up, a smile on his lips.

& Gifts? Li Zhen really didn't expect to bring any gifts or not, at this time, seeing the playful smile on the corner of Nalon's mouth, he naturally knew that the gift that Nalong said was definitely not something like those supplements in the ordinary sense, but he didn't understand what the gift in Nalon's mouth was.

& This gift doesn't need His Royal Highness to go to Zhang Luo, hasn't His Royal Highness King Wu already prepared it for His Highness? Seeing Li Zhen's puzzled look, Nalong smiled and mentioned it.

Li Zhen was originally an awakened person, and when he heard it, he immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "Well, since the third child is so polite, the palace will also borrow flowers and offer Buddha, and order to go down, let Yan Eighteen take people, catch a few fat fish, and go to the Changsun Mansion with the palace to worship the mountain." Li Zhen gave an order, since someone went to handle this matter, the originally quiet night of Luoyang immediately became chaotic, and there were many life and death fights in the snowy night that were going on silently, and the East Palace was also lively, and a group of eunuchs and palace guards were all busy, preparing horses and preparing cars, and they were very busy.

At the moment, there was a chaos in front of the East Palace Gate, and the people and horses of the brigade slowly drove out of the palace gate with a golden chariot, slowly along the East Street, and walked towards the Changsun Mansion

The winter night came early, although it was the middle of the day, but the sky was already dark, and under the combination of wind and snow, it was even darker, but Li Shimin didn't seem to mind this kind of darkness, only a corner of the table in the huge study lit a lantern that was not bright, and the lights in the rest of the places were not lit, Li Shimin, who was dressed in a fire fox robe, sat behind the desk, half-closed eyes, and sat with his head down, looking thoughtful.

Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left and is on his way to the Eldest Sun Mansion. A ghostly black shadow suddenly flashed out of the dark study, knelt straight in the center of the study, and whispered a word.

& Got it, explore again! Li Shimin heard the sound, but he didn't raise his head at all, he didn't even move, he just gave a faint order.

&Yes, slaves and maidservants obey. The black-clothed man kneeling in the room hurriedly answered, raised his head, and showed his face when the lights were on, it was Wu Sheng, the deputy commander of the palace guards, but seeing Wu Sheng peeking at Li Shimin's face, his lips moved a few times, and he stopped talking, and at the end of his body flashed, and the person had disappeared from the room.

Although Li Shimin never raised his head, Wu Sheng's small actions could not hide Li Shimin's observation, he naturally knew what Wu Sheng wanted to say, and the left and right were just those small demagogic actions of Li Ke, the king of Wu, who thought he was extremely clever, but Li Shimin really didn't see Li Ke's little tricks in his eyes, all he cared about was how Li Zhen would deal with such a situation For Li Zhen, such an outstanding son, Li Shimin always felt that he couldn't see it through, and always felt that Li Zhen seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious fog, It's hard to see what's inside.

In Li Shimin's mind, Li Zhen is intelligent, all-rounded in civil and military affairs, and is a rare talent, and this time he can work hard and practically, which makes Li Shimin admire, however, in Li Shimin's view, Li Zhen's past actions are more than ruthless, lack of compromise, and the concept of success or failure is too prosperous, more like the hero of troubled times, rather than the holy son of heaven, which is where Li Shimin has always been worried about Li Zhen. didn't even say anything to remind Li Zhen, the most fundamental intention is to see how Li Zhen will deal with this crisis, of course, all the changes are under monitoring, Li Shimin is not worried about a big mess at all, and now Li Zhen has remembered to visit the eldest grandson Wuji, but Li Shimin is quite pleased that no matter what the effect of the visit is, at least Li Zhen has understood that the Son of Heaven should know how to compromise and reconcile, if he can reach a compromise with the eldest grandson Wuji, it proves that Li Zhen is qualified to become the king of peace, if so, Li Shimin will also be able to completely rest assured.

"Zhen'er, don't lose sight of my high hopes. Li Shimin got up and slowly paced to the window, regardless of the heavy wind and snow outside the window, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, letting the wind mixed with the heavy snow rush towards him, looking at the direction of the eldest grandson's mansion, and muttered in his mouth

The Changsun Mansion is not far from the palace, that is, the distance across the street, if you walk from the Chengtian Gate, but a distance of hundreds of meters, even if it is from the East Palace, that is, less than a mile, as far as the snow and the dark road is difficult, Li Zhen and his party walked mightily for a quarter of an hour and arrived at the ground, Changsun Chong, who had already been informed, led a large group of family members to see Li Zhen's car in front of the house, and they all knelt down to the ground in a hurry, welcoming Li Zhen's arrival, and Li Zhen was not hypocritical, Served by a few little eunuchs, he got out of the carriage and walked slowly in front of Changsun Chong, raised his hand and said: "Changsun Aiqing, please get up, this palace took the liberty to come, and there was a lot of disturbance."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the cold house, it is the glory of the ministers, but I don't know what His Highness has ordered here, and the ministers should do their best. Although the eldest grandson Chong was still jealous of Li Zhen's hatred for hurting his brother, how could he dare to express it in front of Li Zhen, hearing Li Zhen's call, he hurriedly kowtowed, stood up, bowed down, and replied respectfully.

& This palace heard that Lord Situ was sick due to work, and his heart was very uneasy, so he came to investigate, if there is any disturbance, please wait for a lot of Haihan, but I don't know how Lord Situ is sick now? Have you ever called the Imperial Doctor to come to the consultation? Li Zhen didn't care about the snow at all, just stood in the snow and asked with a smile.

& Thank you for the care of His Royal Highness the Prince, my father occasionally felt cold, and he had invited the royal doctor to come to the consultation, and there was no major problem, but he had to raise it for some time, and it was difficult to deal with the affairs of the court. Although the eldest grandson Chong replied respectfully, he never mentioned the matter of inviting Li Zhen into the mansion, and there was a faint intention of thanking the guests.

&Oh? That's good, the royal doctor is clever, and the palace has also seen his wonderful rejuvenation technique, which is very good. Li Zhen didn't seem to mind Changsun Chong's attitude at all, and said with a smile: "This palace has brought some special medicine here, which should have a miraculous effect on Lord Situ's condition, well, if Lord Situ has not rested, can you allow this palace to go and investigate?"

Li Zhen made it clear that the eldest grandson Chong would dare to refuse the guest again, so he had to bow down and reply: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is snowing and cold outside, please sit in the house for a while, and let the minister go to his father's place to say goodbye, if his father's body can support it, he will come to take over the car now."

>> That's it. Li Zhen said with a smile, and didn't care that the rest of the Changsun Mansion was still kneeling at the door, and walked up the steps of the Changsun Mansion, accompanied by the Changsun Chong, he entered the second entrance hall, and as soon as he sat down, the guards of the East Palace flocked to guard the entire hall tightly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please sit down for a while, and the minister will go to his father's place to say goodbye. The eldest grandson Chong accompanied Li Zhen into the second hall of the hall, and after the freshly brewed fragrant tea was served, he bowed respectfully and asked for instructions.

Li Zhen smiled and picked up the tea bowl, gestured to the eldest grandson, and casually ordered: "Aiqing, please take care of yourself, the palace will be waiting here."

& The minister retired. Eldest Sun Chong didn't dare to slack off, saluted respectfully, exited the hall, and went straight to Eldest Sun Wuji's bedroom
