Chapter 184: The Beginning of the Layout (Part II)

There are a lot of news in this world that can surprise Li Zhen, and there are not many that may surprise Li Zhen to the point of losing her temper, but well, there is such a thing right now-Li Shimin has just made a will to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Yiai, and the suddenness of this news really made Li Zhen's brain a little unable to turn for a while.

The princess, the emperor's daughter, sounds majestic, but in fact, most of the princesses in the imperial era are the saddest group of people, often the political chips in the hands of the emperor, either given to marry in the family of important ministers, or used to make peace, even if the strong and enlightened Tang Dynasty is the same, even if the princess is favored, it is difficult to escape such a fate, in this regard, Gao Yang is not surprised that he is promised to be married to the Fang family, but the problem is that the timing is too weird - Fang Xuanling's second son, he is also young, Quite talented, ranked among the four sons of the Beijing Division, whether it is family background or his own talent, it is not unworthy of Princess Gaoyang, but the problem lies in this person's position - Fang Yiai has always been behind Li Tai's back and shouted, and praised the King of Wei every time, and even disregarded the dispute with his father because of his support for Li Tai, the King of Wei, of course, Fang Xuanling himself has never expressed his opinion on the princes, and he has never been involved in disputes between the princes.

The old man Fang has been a prime minister for many years, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s in the court, and there are many former officials in the court, in terms of potential forces, it is not under the eldest grandson Wuji, it can be said that Fang Xuanling is the only important minister in the court who can compete with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling is Sikong, the right servant shoots, the eldest grandson Wuji is Situ, the left servant shoots, all with the title of the third prince, and the holy family is not much different, the difference is that the eldest grandson Wuji is a relative, Fang Xuanling is not, on the occasion of the battle for the heir, and even the harem is in turmoil, Li Shimin suddenly issued an edict to give marriage, and his intentions are very ambiguous.

The intention of giving the marriage room is to show favor and win over the family, which is undoubted, but the question is what is the intention behind it? Is it just to show favor? No way! Li Zhen didn't believe that the old man would do such a meaningless thing, there must be an article here, but Li Zhen couldn't see through the mystery for a while - is it to support Li Tai, the king of Wei, to set an example, or to prepare for suppressing the courtiers in order to deal with the possible harem rebellion, or to win over the Fang family first for Li Zhi's ascension? I don't know! But what is certain is that as soon as the old man's chess hand is played, the already chaotic situation will inevitably become more chaotic, and God knows what kind of medicine is sold in the old man's gourd.

"What does my father mean by this? Don't you think the situation is chaotic enough? Li Zhen unconsciously knocked on the desk in front of her with one hand, and after thinking silently for a long time, she asked with a frown.

"Your Highness is right, the Holy Lord's move is to cause chaos, and only when there is chaos can the Holy Lord take advantage of the chaos." As soon as Li Zhen's voice fell, Mo Li said with a disapproving smile.

"Oh?" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, thought about it again, and seemed to have caught something, but she felt that it was unlikely, so in desperation, she had no choice but to ask: "I want to hear about it." ”

Mo Li gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and explained with a smile: "Your Highness Mingjian, the Holy Lord has given the marriage room at this time, and the momentum of the King of Wei will inevitably rise, and the courtiers who are watching will definitely think that this is a sign of the Holy Will to the King of Wei, and they will inevitably turn to the side of the King of Wei, even if they do not immediately express their allegiance, it is inevitable that they will be moved, once this is the case, if King Wu or His Royal Highness does not make any moves, then they can only sit and wait for King Wei to enter the East Palace, even if His Royal Highness can bear it, King Wu can bear it?" I'm afraid that if I can't stop it, this chaos will inevitably arise, once the three kings fall into disputes, who can rule them? Isn't it just Your Majesty? ”

Endure? Naturally, it can't be endured, the fourth guy is not as big as the boss, although he is not a big talent, but he still has a wrist, plus the power in the hands of this kid is not small, if he is really let into the East Palace, it will be difficult to drive him out, damn, the old man is not too tired to panic! Li Zhen was upset for a while, stood up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, suddenly stood on his feet, glanced at the two strategists and said: "If this is the case, this king is not afraid of chaos, let's see how the third head will move before discussing!" As soon as the words fell, he didn't want to discuss any more, waved his hand, went straight out of the study, and turned back to the backyard......

There are two flowers, one for each branch, not to mention that Li Zhen is upset, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, also has a headache - the pressure in the palace, the pressure of the court, the pressure of the brothers, the pressure of all aspects is so oppressive that Li Ke is almost out of breath, if it weren't for the good body that he has been riding a horse and archery since he was a child, he is afraid that he would have been pressed down long ago, not to mention that he has to maintain his demeanor. After entering the palace today, he was squeezed by Concubine Yang Shu, Rao is Li Kesu is stoicism, but he couldn't calm down anymore, and he didn't go to the Ministry of Industry to take care of court affairs, and hurriedly rushed back to his palace, planning to convene his henchmen and strategists to discuss countermeasures, but he never thought that he had just returned to the mansion, and he had not yet sat down, and he saw Sima Linhe of the palace hurrying from outside, and reported with a little panic: "Your Royal Highness, news came from the inner court: Your Majesty will marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Xuanling's bereavement, and now the holy decree has arrived in Menxia Province." ”

"Huh?" Li Ke couldn't sit down immediately, Huo Ran got up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, and forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It seems that my father doesn't want to drag it out anymore, and my mother is ...... Alas, what should be done when the matter has come to this? ”

Although Li Ke has not mentioned what Yang Shufei said, Ye Ling, who has already known about this, has already guessed what Yang Shufei wants to do, seeing Li Ke's abnormality, he secretly sighed in his heart, but he did not speak immediately, but Lin He took the lead and said: "Your Highness, you must not listen to the words of Concubine Shu, now that the situation is going to be chaotic, we and other arguments and arguments will not have the upper hand, we should brake quietly, and we must not act blindly, once there is a mistake, there will be no disaster!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, what Lin Sima said is very true, we should be careful, and we must not give people a handle, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!" Lu Youzhang, who joined the army, also echoed his words.

"Yes, I also agree with Lin Sima's opinion, such things in the palace must not be rash, if you wait for King Yue to do it first, it will not be too late for me to wait to see the situation!"

"That's right, it's Li'er!"

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!"

……

A group of subordinate officials of the prince's palace have echoed their words, and what they said may be different, but they all advocate standing still and waiting to see the changes, which is not surprising, the matter of the emperor Laozi's harem is a taboo, and it is definitely not something that his subordinates can ask about, even if it is the prince, no one dares to suggest Li Ke to come out for Yang Shufei, in the noise, only Ye Ling did not say a word, closed his eyes, and sat silently in the corner.

Listening to the suggestions of a group of subordinate officials, Li Ke not only did not let go of his thoughts, but became a little more annoyed - although there is some truth in what the sub-strategists said, but what they said Li Ke had already thought about on the way back, and he already decided that this road would not work, and the reason why he wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience was just to see if everyone could have a high view to solve the current situation, but he never thought that the big guy didn't talk about it at all, how could he not be annoyed, but it was not good to have a seizure, and in desperation, he paced a few steps in the study, Frowning and thinking, he suddenly saw that Ye Ling was closing his eyes and recuperating, his heart immediately moved, he paused, waved his hand and said: "What the princes said is very true, and the king of Rong Ben thinks about one or two, let's discuss it here today, and all the princes will go down first." Seeing that Li Ke issued an eviction order, even if the subordinate officials wanted to say anything, they couldn't get it, so they could only retire without mentioning it.

"Songcheng, in your opinion, what should be done in this matter?" After all the subordinate officials retreated, Li Ke walked up to Ye Ling and asked very politely.

Ye Ling opened his tightly closed eyes and smiled indifferently, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Li Ke didn't expect Ye Ling to kick the problem back again, he was stunned for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "The difficulty of the current situation is not unknown to the king, this time the matter of the inner service province is the head of the fourth child, and his intention is nothing more than to let the king and Xiaoba go to have a fight, but the mother can't see the strangeness, and force the king to come out, don't you know why the queen's status in the eyes of the father is unmatched, this ......, alas, it is clear that it is already a chaotic situation, but the father and the emperor have another marriage, this is good, The fourth idiot's momentum will inevitably rise, and if this king doesn't make a move, I'm afraid he won't have to make another move. ”

"Well said!" Ye Ling laughed, puffed his palms and said, "Since Your Highness knows that you have to make a move, then you can make a move, what is there to hesitate?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Hearing Ye Ling's words didn't seem like he was joking, Li Ke looked at Ye Ling with a surprised face, and said suspiciously: "Songcheng, this is obviously a trap, how can this king drill it?" Not to mention whether the father has the heart to establish a queen, even if there is, this king's move, how can Xiaoba not move, once this is the case, both will lose, wouldn't it be cheaper for nothing? According to the king, once the king and Xiaoba get into trouble, I am afraid that the people at the other end of the fourth child will immediately push the fourth child into the East Palace, how to deal with this? ”

Ye Ling didn't answer and asked, "According to His Highness, it seems that the holy will is on King Wei?" ”

"This ......" Li Ke hesitated for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be, but it's ......"

"That's right." A flash of brightness flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, and he said calmly: "Li Chengqian has long been a prisoner, and the seat of the East Palace has been empty for more than a month, has Your Majesty ever said that he wants to choose the crown prince?" ”

Li Ke seemed to have noticed something, but he was not sure, he frowned and said, "That's not true, but so what?" ”

"Your Majesty is just waiting." Ye Ling calmly analyzed: "According to the old practice of our dynasty, the eldest son of the heir is not the king, therefore, as soon as Li Chengqian falls, the eldest son of the grandson is the king of Wei, if His Majesty has the heart to establish the king of Wei, there is no need to bother, an edict is enough, and if it is not good, it will also release the rumors, so that the ministers will say things, but what about now?" His Majesty has always been indifferent, which proves that the candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's mind is actually not King Wei, but someone else! ”

Li Ke slapped his palm, and said with a sigh: "Yes, Songcheng's words are very good, but who does my father fancy him?" Could it be Xiaoba's house? ”

"It's hard to say." Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but at the end he still didn't say anything, just shook his head and said: "Regardless of who Your Majesty likes, it is actually a situation in terms of the current situation, but there are two people in the layout, one is Your Majesty, and the other is King Wei!" Although the situation between the two is different, the situation is the same, that is, chaos! ”

"Mess? This ......" Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, muttering a sentence in his mouth.

"Yes, it's chaos!" Ye Ling smiled for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about the situation of the King of Wei first, the King of Wei is now powerful, but there is no absolute advantage, therefore, he does not dare to move lightly, of course, if he can get the expectations of the eldest grandson Situ, the King of Wei will no longer be silent, and the most important thing in this situation he laid is to create a situation of hatred and hatred with the eldest grandson Situ, and then use the power of the hundred officials to force Your Majesty to comply, as for the bureau laid by Your Majesty, its purpose is naturally to be chaotic, only if it is chaotic, Your Majesty can take this opportunity to calm the differences between the courtiers, So as to achieve great chaos, there must be great governance! ”

"Well, this king also thought of this before, but the queen is the rebel of his father, if this king is above the words, wouldn't he be humiliated?" Li Ke first nodded, then shook his head, and asked very hesitantly.

Ye Ling said indifferently: "Then it depends on how His Highness operates, if he can cooperate properly with His Royal Highness King Yue, it may not be impossible to succeed." ”

Li Ke was taken aback by Ye Ling's words, and hurriedly said, "Little eight? How is this possible? If this king launches his mother, how can Xiaoba not fight, once the trouble will arise, then ......"

Seeing Li Ke so surprised, Ye Ling suddenly laughed and said: "Your Highness, if you can see through this situation, Your Royal Highness King Yue can also see through it, like this situation, Your Highness can't be defeated, how can His Royal Highness King Yue be defeated?" If Your Majesty wants to be chaotic, then it will be fine, but things do not have to be as chaotic as Your Majesty envisioned. ”

Li Ke frowned and walked a few steps in the study, pondering for a moment before asking, "Even so, what kind of chaos should this mess be?" ”

"With the help of strength, His Royal Highness and King Yue have a common enemy, which has the basis for cooperation, starting from the palace first, what does it matter if you cut off the hands and feet of King Wei, as for the things that can be done later, you can't and don't have to force it." Ye Ling smiled and said indifferently.

Li Ke was originally a awakened person, and with a roll of his eyes, he already understood what Ye Ling meant, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, just do it, this king will go and talk to Xiao Ba Haosheng immediately." ”

"There's no hurry." Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and said, "It is expected that His Royal Highness the King of Dingyue is also waiting for His Royal Highness to go at the moment, so let him wait a little longer." ”

"Oh? Hahaha......" Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed out loud, and the laughter was full of joy......

The wide study room of the Wei Wangfu is quiet, except for Sima Su Miao of the palace who sits alone in front of the chessboard, frowning and playing chess, there is not even a waiter, it is no wonder, today's Wei King Li Tai feasted guests, and the entire palace went to wait, this study was naturally empty, and there was not even a scholar who poured water, but Su Miao didn't seem to mind the desertion of being unserved, just blindly lowered his head and fiddled with the chess game.

"Uncle, you can be regarded as coming, go, drink a few cups, today the king is happy, no matter what, you have to drink happy!" Li Tai, who was called back to the study by his subordinates, rushed into the study with an excited face, not at all dissatisfied with the interruption of the wine, of course, he had enough reasons to be excited, and anyone who got the good news one after another would inevitably be in a good mood.

Su Miao was not moved by Li Tai's excitement at all, stared at the chessboard without raising his head, and said slowly: "The chess situation is not clear, and it is not yet time to be happy, Your Highness has lost his temper." ”

"Hehehe......" The hot face was attached to the cold **, Li Tai couldn't help but smirk a few times in embarrassment, and then said disapprehantly: "Uncle, isn't everything going according to your plan, what else is there to worry about?" ”

"Not necessarily." Su Miao raised his head from the chessboard, glanced at Li Tai with a slight dissatisfaction, and said lightly: "It would be good if it really unfolded according to a certain plan, alas, Your Majesty's sudden hand is only afraid that it will ruin the big things of His Highness!" ”

"Huh?" Li Tai was startled, his mouth was open enough to stuff a duck egg, and after looking at Su Miao in a daze for a while, he asked hesitantly: "What ......does my uncle mean?"

Su Miao shook his head gently, and said with a hint of regret on his face: "Your Majesty's marriage house seems to be very beneficial to His Royal Highness, but in fact, it is not true, it must be too late, as soon as Your Majesty's move comes out, King Wu and King Yue will be vigilant, and the two kings are afraid that it is a foregone conclusion, and things are going to take turns and turns." ”

What Li Tai was most afraid of was that Li Zhen and Li Ke joined forces, and when he heard Su Miao say so surely, he was taken aback, and his original half-drunk drunken intention was immediately frightened, and he stomped his feet hatefully and said, "Damn, these two bastards!" Uncle, what should I do now? If the third child really hooks up with Xiaoba, this king, this king will be the first to start, and now the situation is in me, it's a big deal to see the real chapter in the court! ”

"That's not in a hurry, Your Highness should sit down and say okay." Su Miao gestured as he spoke, inviting him to sit down.

"Alas!" Li Tai stomped his foot, sat heavily on the chair, stared at Su Miao with a pair of eyes, and said, "If my uncle has any opinions, he will say it directly, and this king will do it." ”

"Your Highness is serious, I said that the situation is not clear at this time, and Your Highness must not mess up his position." When Su Miao said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "The two kings join forces and join forces, but their ways are not the same, this alliance is naturally impossible to be seamless, and it is more likely to calculate each other, Your Highness really doesn't have to worry too much, you just need to be vigilant in your heart, but you are not afraid of how the two kings can hook up." ”

"Uncle is right." Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Uncle, in your opinion, will these two bastards propose to establish a future?" ”

"It's hard to say." Su Miao frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the two kings have been forced into a corner, and it is inevitable to make a move, but these two are not idle people, even if they want to make a move, they may not be able to do it according to common sense, and they can't see through the key to it for a while, but if they don't mention it, Your Highness might as well find someone to come out and mention it, as long as this layer of window paper is pierced, the two kings can only move if they don't move." ”

"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Su Miao suspiciously: "This king comes to mention it, isn't that lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?" ”

Su Miao said quietly: "Your Highness is mistaken, this person must not be His Highness, nor can he be a person close to His Highness, why not move that chess piece?" ”

"Chess pieces? What are you talking about......" Li Tai twitched his face and asked a little reluctantly.

"Chess pieces are meant to be discarded, and they should be used naturally!" Su Miao said disappreciably.

Li Tai thought silently for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then it's settled, go back and let Wanzhongshan send someone to inform him, and let him play the book early tomorrow morning." ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Miao's eyes, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, you can have set it up first, postpone the performance, and wait for the second king to move before it's too late, you have to cut off their retreat!" ”

"Okay, then it's decided, this time let's see how those two bastards can pass!" Li Taihuo suddenly stood up, bared his teeth and said a word, his voice was full of gloomy chill......
