"Li Siye? I hear it very familiarly, how did he get into the prince's inner rate? Li Longji asked casually.

Gao Lishi reminded in a low voice beside him: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" There is a strong man who offers you a cool skin formula, and this person is named Li Siye. ”

"Oh."

The emperor remembered that this person had meritorious service for offering cool skins and martial arts, so he sent him to the crown prince to be a thousand cattle. Unexpectedly, this person was unwilling to be lonely and appeared in his ears again.

Li Longji suddenly became interested and wanted to have a discussion on this matter, so he looked at everyone and asked lightly: "Rank, what do you think?" ”

Yang Xun couldn't help but start attacking first: "Your Majesty, this Li Siye is a lowly businessman, who uses wealth and goods to make profits, and it is indeed not a wise move to send him to His Royal Highness the Prince, if it were not for this person's demagogy, the prince would not have been able to do this business to collect money." ”

Li Linfu shook his head lightly, and Yang Xun didn't get to the point.

Li Longji skipped it, looked at Zhang Jiuling and asked, "Jiuling, what do you think?" ”

Even if Zhang Xianggong sat on the banquet, he always had his shoulders flat and his back straight, his posture was solemn, and he was as generous as lying on a green pine, only to see him cross his hands and say to the emperor unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the ministers, this emergency plan can be comparable to Sun Bin giving Tian Ji horse racing." ”

Li Longji listened, nodded and didn't ask Pei Yaoqing, but turned his eyes to Li Linfu: "Lin Fu, what do you think?" ”

Li Linfu stroked his palm approvingly and said: "No, it is much more clever than Sun Bin's plan, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the prince, this person is talented!" can be compared to Sun Bin and Kong Mingye! ”

When Zhang Jiuling heard this, his face was a little unhappy, and he was just about to refute. Pei Yaoqing took over the words first and said: "In this regard, Gao Miao is indeed Gao Miao, but he is just smart and calculating, not a big talent." ”

Yang Wei was inconvenient to speak at this time, but he frequently gave Li Linfu a look, Li Linfu raised his head and looked ahead, pretending not to see.

Li Longji showed a slightly embarrassed smile, nodded and said: "It is indeed talented, after the prince goes back, he must promote and reward, don't let the talented people chill." ”

Li Ying was relieved, and hurriedly bowed: "Erchen obeys." ”

"In that case, the prince should step aside and go back to the East Palace."

Li Ying had been in a worried and nervous atmosphere just now, and she didn't pay much attention to the performance of several bigwigs at the table. Also, in such an awkward position as him, he will never learn the essence of struggle.

After the crown prince left, Li Longji's mood gradually became depressed. He waved everyone away, and even Concubine Wu Hui didn't let her accompany him, and rode on foot, escorted by Gao Lishi and the palace maids, and returned to Daming Palace along the Jiacheng.

……

In a secret pavilion in the northwest corner of the Dragon Pond of Xingqing Palace, Concubine Wu Hui and Yang Wei secretly met with Li Linfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

This Datang official, who has pursued the pinnacle of power all his life, has narrow eyes like eagle falcons, a nose slightly hooked, but he often maintains a friendly and tranquil smile on his face.

He stepped into the dark pavilion, immediately bowed to Concubine Wu Hui, and nodded to Yang Wei who was standing on the side.

Yang Xun was impatient, and when he came up, he accused Li Linfu: "Didn't the prince promise to help King Shou in the past? Why do you want to speak for that princeling today! ”

Li Linfu raised his head slightly arrogantly, he felt that in terms of intelligence, he was qualified to raise his head in front of Yang Yuma.

In order to show her trust in Li Linfu, Concubine Wu Hui reprimanded Yang Huan: "Don't be rude to Li Xianggong!" ”

Yang Wei naturally retreated to the side, waiting for Concubine Wu Hui to speak first.

"Li Xianggong, I'm just a woman, I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I have the same opinion as Yang Xun, you praised the prince's close ministers at the banquet today, isn't this the majesty of the eldest prince?"

Li Linfu narrowed his narrow eyes and smiled slightly: "Concubine Hui has ever heard that derogation may not make people wither, but excessive reputation will definitely make it frustrated!" It's called killing. ”

"I don't understand, and I ask Li Xianggong to solve my doubts."

"Concubine Hui is by His Majesty's side all day long, and she must know that His Majesty is jealous, and now that the prosperous world is descending, the people are safe and the country is strong, and what is needed is the talent of governing the world, not the talent of the troubled times. The minister praised the prince's close minister Li Siye as Sun Bin with exaggerated words, Kong Ming, both of them are talents in troubled times, such a person stays by the prince's side, how can Your Majesty not be jealous? ”

When Concubine Wu Hui heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, Li Xianggong is worthy of being Li Xianggong, and the level is high, such a compliment is worthy of Yang Xun's ten complaints.

Yang Wei next to him couldn't help but be impressed, and at the same time felt frightened, if he was an enemy of such an old fox in the court, he didn't know why he was cleaned up.

Concubine Hui finally learned a trick from Li Linfu, and made many verbal promises, such as if King Shou succeeded to the throne in the future, he should not forget Li Xianggong's meritorious service, and he would be given the title of Sikong.

Li Linfu crossed his hands and thanked him, and the offensive and defensive alliance between the two sides became more solid.

……

The people in the East Palace were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know whether the prince was going to be evil or auspicious, and suddenly an unusual situation appeared, and these officials had no good face for Li Siye.

The crown prince Zhan Shi put on an attitude of crushing people at the level of the official, pointed at Li Siye and reprimanded: "You are just a reckless businessman, you came up with such a bad idea to mislead His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness has any three strengths and two weaknesses today, we will definitely take you down first!" ”

Li Siye didn't want to argue with these people, but everyone poked their fingers in the face, and he had to be cheeky to fight.

"How do you know if the prince is called to be disposed of, maybe it is still a reward, and the situation is not clear, and he blames me before the situation is clear. When you paid off the money in the treasury, you were happier than the other, but now your face has changed when something goes wrong, are you chameleons? ”

"Nonsense!" A Zhan Shi pointed at Li Siye and said: "From the beginning, the official disagreed, if it wasn't for you to bewitch the prince, how could he do such a businessman?" ”

"Also, do you have any distinction between superior and inferior! We, the four qualities of Zhan Shi, are sitting under you! You are just a thousand cattle from the seventh grade, don't you know how to be humble and humble! ”

"Yes, we are all from the Huangbang Jinshi, you have no talent at all, how can only a clever businessman be above us!"

"Talk about you! Why is your face so thick, so hurry up and get down from the upper right. ”

Everyone was arguing, and suddenly the voice of the palace people came from outside: "The prince has returned to the palace." ”

At this time, no one cared about arguing with Li Siye, so they hurriedly ran out of the hall, bowed down to greet the returning prince, and took a look at the prince's face, if it was a little gloomy, it would be fine, but if it was cloudy, it would be bad.
