After Li Xian walked for a while, he asked the sedan chair to go back first, and he went to Shangshu Mansion alone to find Jian Huaizhen.

Li Xian wanted to meet Jian Huaizhen, first, to report to Jian Huaizhen about the progress of the situation in these days, and second, Li Xian also wanted to hear Jian Huaizhen's advice on how to act in the future.

After entering the Shangshu Mansion with ease, Li Xian soon saw Jian Huaizhen in the study.

"Xiaguan Shiheng greets the eldest princess." Li Xian saluted Jian Huaizhen.

"Lord Li is here, and he has said several times that he will ask him to excuse himself from this salute, but Lord Li is still so polite." Jian Huaizhen stared at Li Xian with a smile and spoke.

"I still want the number of courtesies." After Li Xian bowed, he spoke to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen instructed the henchman and maid who were waiting on the side: "Show Master Li a seat." ”

The henchman maid brought Li Xian an embroidered stool.

Li Xian bowed to Jian Huaizhen and thanked him, and then sat down and listened to the teachings of the eldest princess.

Jian Huaizhen looked at Li Xian, then smiled and said to Li Xian: "Lord Li's face is full of red light, it seems that there are some happy events. ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and wanted to get up and reply.

Jian Huaizhen beckoned: "Master Li, you don't have to get up, just sit and talk back." ”

Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen: "Yes." ”

Then he did it, and after sitting down, Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess guessed correctly, Li Xian does have a happy event to report to the eldest princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen was a little surprised and said to Li Xian: "Oh, last night's lanterns reported good news, I didn't think that there was really a happy event today, but it was really a miracle, please come and listen to Lord Li." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Jian Huaizhen about provoking Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng to fight.

After hearing that Li Xian had finished telling everything before and after, Jian Huaizhen also said to Li Xian with a smile on his face: "What Lord Li said is really a good thing, I didn't expect that my desire to avenge Lord Yu Qian and Lord Yu could be realized in advance." ”

Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is true, judging from the current situation, this matter is like this, and it is a good time for me to avenge Lord Yu Qianyu." It's just that how to act at the bottom, I have to ask the eldest princess for more guidance. ”

Jian Huaizhen was overjoyed when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said to Li Xian: "Judging from the current situation, in recent days, Xu Youzhen has placed cronies everywhere in the court in order to fight Shi Heng, and there are already signs of holding the emperor hostage to self-respect, Shi Heng naturally knows this matter in his heart, so it is best for Lord Li to think about this matter. ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he clapped his hands and praised her: "The eldest princess is really in a word, judging from the current situation, this matter is also the most difficult thing to deal with. ”

Seeing that Li Xian had this opinion, Jian Huaizhen agreed very much, and echoed Li Xian with deep understanding: "Lord Li's insight can really be described as a subtle observation. Judging from the current situation, Xu Youzhen's expansion of power in the DPRK is just a good time for us to separate Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang as soon as possible, but how we should act still needs to be considered. ”

Li Xian saw Jian Huaizhen have such words, so he nodded at Jian Huaizhen and said, "That's exactly what I said, please show the eldest princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen tilted his head and said to Li Xian: "I heard the news from the DPRK that Cao Jixiang's nephew wants to make up for the fat shortage of the Jiangsu salt transportation envoy, and the matter of the commission is presided over by Xu Youzhen. ”

Li Xian was extremely pleased when he heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is very true, judging from the current situation, this matter is a good idea. Xu Youzhen originally had a feud with Cao Jixiang, if the two of them had a dirty relationship in this matter, it would be easy to divide and disintegrate the offensive and defensive alliance of these people. ”

Seeing that Li Xian had this inference, Jian Huaizhen said to Li Xian with great appreciation: "Lord Li's words have won my heart, from the current situation, Cao Jixiang's nephew wants to make up for the fat shortage of Jiangsu salt envoys is a very noteworthy thing, as long as you take a little effort in this matter, you can beat Xu Youzhen and others." might as well persuade Xu Youzhen to uphold justice and not give Cao Jixiang this face, so as to establish prestige. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he was also very happy to say to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess's plan is very good, Xu Youzhen is in the period of raising hope, this opportunity, for the famous Xu Youzhen is determined not to let go, Li Xian is willing to do his best." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, and said to Li Xian: "Lord Li has such a word, this palace is very pleased, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long term and acted carefully. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is very true, I think Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen and others are not fuel-efficient lamps, if you want to plan on them, you need to plan it all over and make careful arrangements, so as not to let them peep through the horses' feet, I am afraid that things will be difficult to clean up." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth to Li Xian and said: "What Lord Li said is very true, from the current situation, this matter is like this, Xu Youzhen is of course a great traitor, although Cao Jixiang does not have to be so difficult to deal with as Xu Youzhen, he has also served the emperor in the palace for so many years, and he has his own skills in court affairs. If you want to deal with them, it is indeed not something that can be dealt with in a moment, and you still need to carefully weigh them. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he got up and bowed his hand to Li Xian and said, "Li Xian will definitely obey this order of the eldest princess and act carefully. ”

Jian Huaizhen saw Li Xian's situation, so he spoke to Li Xian: "Lord Li, judging from the current situation, if you want to continue to sow discord between Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang, the best way is to start with Cao Jixiang's nephew who wants to make up for the fat shortage of Jiangsu Salt Transport Envoy, so that Cao Jixiang will definitely be able to slander Xu Youzhen, if things come to that point, even if we don't help the trouble, the relationship between Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang that already exists in name only will be completely unmaintainable, at that time, It's the perfect time for you and me to take advantage of the situation. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, between Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang, add a Shi Heng, as long as these people fight each other, after the water is mixed, it is time to fish in troubled waters." At that point, it's time to get your hands on it. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, so he bowed his head slightly at Li Xian and said, "What Master Li said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this is the case. ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and then said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, since the matter has come to this point, what should we do next to deal with and attack Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang." ”

Jian Huaizhen looked at Li Xian's words, and then said to Li Xian with a little hesitation: "Lord Li, judging from the current situation, this matter is by no means ordinary, and from the current situation, I am afraid that this matter will be entrusted to Master Li." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian was slightly surprised, but he already had the will to take revenge on Yu Qian Yu in his heart, so no matter what, he was fearless.

Li Xian said to Jian Huaizhen: "If the eldest princess has something she wants Li Xian to do, please say it quickly." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, so he said to Li Xian: "Lord Li, according to the palace, Lord Li has made great contributions in saving Xu Youzhen's beloved daughter, Xu Youzhen already has great trust in Lord Li, Lord Li can take this opportunity to persuade Xu Youzhen to let him take the first place to focus on the society of the imperial court, and secondly, to consider his Qingwang, don't let Shi Heng's nephew make up for the fat difference of the Jiangsu salt transportation envoy." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian nodded approvingly.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen continued: "But Lord Li, there is a big obstacle in this matter, and Lord Li should not be underestimated. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian was extremely surprised in his heart, so he hurriedly asked Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, I don't know what is the obstacle to this matter?" ”

Jian Huaizhen heard that Li Xian had this question, so he spoke to Li Xian: "Lord Li, speaking of this matter, the stakes are not very big, and if it is not handled properly, it will have a far-reaching impact on this matter, so I have to act carefully." Judging from the current situation, Xu Youzhen must not be allowed to see Lord Li's intention to do this, that is to say, Lord Li needs to speak to Li Xian quietly and without a trace. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "What the eldest princess said is very true, and from the current situation, this matter is like this. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, and knew in his heart that Li Xian had already understood his advice.

In this way, Jian Huaizhen smiled and said to Li Xian: "With Lord Li's strategy, it is not difficult to say that Xu Youzhen is moved, the difficulty is that Lord Li must retreat with his whole body, and he must not fall into this matter, otherwise, if Xu Youzhen pushes Lord Li to the forefront, it will be a waste of all his efforts." Not only will it not help it, but it will do a bad thing. ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he spoke to Jian Huaizhen and said, "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, it is really so. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, and knew in his heart that Li Xian had already taken his advice to heart, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Lord Li, with the current situation, how does Lord Li want to act. ”

Seeing Jian Huaizhen asking, Li Xian hurriedly saluted Jian Huaizhen and said: "The eldest princess, judging from the current situation, if you want to talk about this matter directly in front of Xu Youzhen, I'm afraid it's not easy, not enough, even so, it's not impossible, according to Li Xian's thoughts, from the current situation, it is necessary to spread the news first, so as to create a kind of public opinion in the court that if Xu Youzhen does not allow this matter, it is against Cao Gonggong, and after that, you can secretly make suggestions to Xu Youzhen." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, so he spoke to Li Xian: "Master Li is really very clever, and from the current situation, this matter is exactly like this. ”

Li Xian heard that Jian Huaizhen had this statement, and hurriedly said to Jian Huaizhen: "Li Xian is just a bold statement for a while, the eldest princess is so exaggerated, Li Xian can not bear it. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said to Li Xian: "Lord Li doesn't have to be too humble, among the civil and military officials in the court at present, the only one who can inherit the mantle of Yu Qian Yu is in the eyes of Lord Li, no matter what the situation is, Lord Li must not be presumptuous, no matter what the situation is, this princess is supportive." ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and she was extremely grateful in her heart, so she said to Jian Huaizhen gratefully: "The eldest princess treats me very well, and Li Xian is afraid that there will be no retribution in the future." ”

After Jian Huaizhen heard this, he spoke to Li Xian: "Lord Li's statement is really extremely polite, no matter what Lord Li does in the future, this princess will support Lord Li." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he left the table and kowtowed to Jian Huaizhen and said, "The eldest princess, Li Xian has been so trusted by the eldest princess, and he has no regrets in this life." ”

Seeing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xian and said: "Lord Li doesn't have to be like this, you and I are all here to inherit the will of Lord Yu Qianyu, no matter how long and tortuous the road ahead is, as long as we can rely on each other and help each other, I believe that it will not be long before Lord Yu Qianyu's last wish will be realized." ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he spoke to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is very true, judging from the current situation in the DPRK and China, although it is a small person who is rampant and domineering, and a traitorous minister is in charge, it is not enough as long as we have the heart, we can make the court destroy the ugly group in a few days." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, so he spoke to Li Xian with great approval: "What Master Li said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this is the case. No matter how strong the demonic atmosphere is in the DPRK right now, one day, we will see the moon when the clouds that we can dial open. ”

Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, so he spoke to Jian Huaizhen and said, "What the eldest princess said is very true, and Li Xian is also the same truth in his heart. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, and said to Li Xian with great approval: "What Lord Li said has won the heart of this princess. ”

Li Xian saw Jian Huaizhen's words, so he spoke to Li Xian: "The eldest princess, Xu Youzhen's matter will be handed over to Li Xian to be handled, if the matter is clear, Li Xian will come here again to inform the eldest princess." ”

Seeing that Li Xian had said this, Jian Huaizhen looked at Li Xian intently and opened his mouth and said: "Lord Li has such words in her heart, and this princess is extremely relieved, but Lord Li must be cautious, and must not be seen through by Xu Youzhen." ”

Li Xian heard that Jian Huaizhen had this in his mouth, so he confidently said to Jian Huaizhen: "Please rest assured that the eldest princess is." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's confident appearance, so he spoke to Li Xian: "Since Lord Li has said this, how can this princess not trust Lord Li. ”

When Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen's words, his face immediately showed joy, and he opened his mouth to say to her: "Li Xian will never live up to the expectations of the eldest princess. The eldest princess, if there is nothing to do, Li Xian will retire first. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, so he spoke to Li Xian and said, "Master Li, please take care of yourself." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and said: "Then the lower official has resigned first, and things have progressed, or the lower official will encounter obstacles and difficulties on the way to act, and then come to the eldest princess." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen nodded deeply and said, "That is the case, Lord Li, please go." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he bowed to Jian Huaizhen, and then left the Shangshu Mansion under the guidance of Jian Huaizhen's henchmen.

A few days later, news came out from the DPRK that Cao Jixiang was extremely active among the officials of the DPRK and China for his nephew, and wanted his nephew to make up for the fat shortage of the Jiangsu salt transport envoy.

But Cao Jixiang didn't go to Xu Youzhen.

Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China all talked about it, saying that Cao Jixiang had a feud with Xu Youzhen and did not want to accept his affection.

Naturally, these words quickly reached Xu Youzhen's ears, and Xu Youzhen was also quite distressed about this.

The matter that should be commissioned is presided over by Xu Youzhen's imperial order, no matter what the situation is, the gossip in the court is directed at him.

Xu Youzhen knew in her heart that there was such a message in the court, so naturally some people wanted to see the excitement and wanted to see how they handled and decided such things.

And there are many messages from the imperial court, and it is very likely that someone behind them secretly instructed and deliberately spread them.

Xu Youzhen speculated that the person who was the queen mother was most likely Shi Heng, who had a good relationship with Cao Jixiang.

However, Shi Heng is still thinking about it at home, even if Shi Heng is really behind the scenes, in the current situation, he can't find Shi Heng's handle.

Because of this, Xu Youzhen hesitated a lot, and didn't know whether he should sell Cao Jixiang this face to show that he was rebuilding.

However, if you want Cao Jixiang to show weakness, the civil officials in the court who are dependent on him also have to consider it.

This matter has been thinking about this matter in her heart for a long time, and Xu Youzhen feels that it is most appropriate to find someone to discuss this matter.

Thinking about it, Xu Youzhen felt that it was the resourceful Li Xian who could be found in the court to discuss this matter, not to mention that Li Xian was quite loyal to him, and he also brought his daughter back safely before.

Therefore, Xu Youzhen sent a sedan chair to Li Xian's mansion to invite Li Xian to come over the mansion.

Li Xian was naturally the intention of Xu Youzhen in the Ming Dynasty to summon him this time, and then the people from the Xu Mansion came.

After the two met, who were already familiar with each other, Xu Youzhen was very affectionate and asked his family to take a robe that he wore at home every day, and after shaking a pair for Li Xian, he led Li Xian to the banquet.

After the two sat down at the banquet, they first prepared for a while, and then toasted each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, I don't know what is important to ask about sending someone to invite Li Xian to come over the mansion this time?" ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen said to Li Xian: "Lord Li, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that there have been a lot of rumors in the DPRK and China in recent days, and I want to hear what Lord Li means." ”

Seeing Xu Youzhen's question, Li Xian already understood Xu Youzhen's original intention of inviting him over this time.

However, in order to show that he had nothing to do with the rumors, Li Xian pretended not to know anything at all, stood up and said to Xu Youzhen in a surprised tone: "Lord Xu, what rumors are there in the court, which deserve so much attention from Lord Xu, and please show Lord Xu." ”

Seeing Li Xian's appearance, Xu Youzhen beckoned Li Xian to sit down and said: "Lord Li, there is no need to be like this, sit down and talk well, there is nothing serious, just some gossip, Xu feels that it is impossible to ignore it, and I invite Lord Li to come over today, just to discuss with Lord Li how to deal with it." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's command, Li Xian sat down as he said.
