Li Ying's face was filled with rare joy, and she walked into the hall and said to everyone: "It's okay, it's just that Your Majesty asked me to go over and inquire, and Your Majesty also praised me and Li Siye personally." ”

"Hey, Li Siye."

"Your Highness, the minister is here." Li Siye stood up from the front of the case, bowed and crossed his hands.

"I'm grateful to have you, otherwise I would have been planted in the hands of Concubine Wu Hui and Yang Hui today."

Zhan Shi also followed behind him and praised: "Your Highness is virtuous, Li Qianniu's talent, it is the right time." ”

"Your Highness can get a talent like Li Qianniu, and you will definitely be able to sit back and relax in the future."

There is no trace of the role change between Zhan Shi and Chang Shi, as if they had not criticized Li Siye just now, and Li Siye did not care about them, but just looked at the faces of the people next to him coldly.

"Keep drinking and celebrate!"

When Li Siye heard this, he hurriedly picked up the case, and prepared to go to the next head and change positions with everyone.

Li Ying hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and asked, "Heiye, your achievements over the past few days are obvious to everyone, and this meritorious banquet should be in the first place, why should it be postponed?" ”

Li Siye began to carry a gun and a stick in his words: "Your Highness, by all means, Siye is only a thousand cows, how dare you let the rank Zhan Shi be subservient to me?" ”

"Didn't Lone say it a long time ago? Today's banquet is based on merit and seating order, regardless of superiority or inferiority. Although he said this to Li Siye, his eyes looked at these officials of the East Palace, and these people had to look down at their feet.

Li Siye was humble again: "No, Your Highness, all of you Zhan Shi Changshi are all from the Huangbang Jinshi, how can I be a businessman who has no talent and only a little cleverness, how can I be above them?" ”

Zhan Shi suddenly panicked, these words were just used by them to squeeze Li Siye, and now they let Li Siye come back untouched, the sour smell exuded by it is full, how could the prince not hear it.

They hurriedly lowered their bodies to persuade Li Siye: "Li Qianniu, don't postpone it any longer, you are an eclectic talent, when the East Palace was in danger, when His Royal Highness was in financial difficulties, Mao recommended himself and solved such a big trouble for His Highness, you are not in the first place, who dares to be in the first place?" ”

"That is, Li Qianniu don't shirk it anymore, you have already stood out with this good idea, he will be reused by His Royal Highness one day, and we will rely on you in the future."

Li Siye accepted it when he saw it, and reluctantly sat on the top right. The crown prince returned to the throne of the palace and announced that he would continue to enjoy singing, dancing and tasting fine wine.

Everyone drank and drank together, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax for a while.

The prince was drunk and slightly drunk, and took the initiative to walk down from the main seat with a wine glass and communicate with the officials of the East Palace at close range. He actually drank too much, and he was usually more restrained and didn't talk much, but after getting drunk, he completely let himself go, and drank heavily while holding a wine glass, while telling about today's events.

"Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Xianggong! Even an old master like him, who is unsmiling and blindly high-minded, praised and praised our strategy of selling invitations to polo matches, which is comparable to Sun Bin's plan to guide Tian Ji in horse racing. ”

"Li Linfu, Li Xianggong, even praised you for beating Sun Bin's strategy, not only that, he also praised you for having Sun Bin and Kong Ming's talent!"

Li Linfu, why did you praise me like this?

Li Siye suddenly muttered, others don't know what kind of person this Li Xiang is, but he knows that it is clearly written in the history books. He praises a person on the surface, but behind his back, he may be holding back something bad.

While dealing with the crown prince, he began to secretly think in his heart, what does Li Linfu mean by this? It's hard to guess what the ancients thought, especially this kind of human spirit.

As the saying goes, reading history can make people wise, and when Li Siye couldn't figure out something, he began to trace history. The former Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui were allies, when the virtuous minister Zhang Jiuling stepped down, Tang Xuanzong once asked Li Linfu about the abolition of the prince, and this person was instructed by Concubine Wu Hui, so he deliberately said: "This is a family matter of the lord, why bother to ask outsiders." It was this sentence that buried the lives of the crown prince and the king of E, and the king of light.

What Li Linfu wants to do now, this is obvious. This sentence Sun Bin, Kong Ming's talent, is actually a killing. Tang Xuanzong is most afraid of the prince to threaten the emperor, good guy, Zhuge Liang has appeared around you, is this Zhuge Liang going to help you seize the country and the world, if you seize the world, will Lao Tzu be forced by you to become the emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Siye was terrified, and his carelessness almost lost his life. It's too dangerous to stay with the prince! Not only is there danger around this prince, but also by Li Heng's side in the future, isn't his eldest brother Wei Jian and Lao Tiewang Zhonghei being killed like this?

No, he must have a heart-to-heart conversation with the prince and point out the current crisis, otherwise the big guys will be finished together.

He looked up at the drunken prince, shook his head, and felt that it would not work now, so it would be better to wait until the prince came to his senses tomorrow.

……

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji sat cross-legged on the sandalwood couch in the apse room of the Zichen Palace, and the gilded incense burner was placed on the stone platform at the four corners of the couch, and the ambergris incense slowly rose. In front of him are two rows of bookshelves, and two celadon jars are squatting on the left and right, and two crimson peonies grow in the porcelain jars.

The atmosphere in the hall is quiet and serene, but the emperor's heart is rippling, he thinks of the bloody wind and rain of the palace struggle in the past, when Emperor Zhongzong died, Wei's mother and daughter made a rebellion, he led the troops to kill the Wei family after the victory, wearing blood-stained iron armor to see his father Ruizong in person, he saw in his father's eyes strange, fearful, admiration, gratification, dazed and other intertwined emotions, but there was no family affection. At that time, he felt ridiculous that a father could be afraid of his son.

But as he now grows older and his sons grow up, he finally understands his father's worries. These sons under his knees have all kinds of desires, especially the crown prince, his wings are gradually plump, will he not be able to wait patiently, will he repeat his father's mistakes back then, and become a lonely emperor?

Gao Lishi walked in without a word, bowed down and stood beside the emperor and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, which lady will sleep tonight?" ”

Li Longji didn't answer, but suddenly raised his head and asked, "I didn't observe Li Siye much at the beginning, shouldn't I send him to the prince's side?" ”

Of course, Gao Lishi knew what Li Longji was worried about, and said with his hands tied: "Although the slave maid has not read any books, she is still very accurate in reading people, Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu and others are exaggerating, this Li Siye is not a great talent, but he is more clever than ordinary people." ”

Xuanzong changed his sitting posture to a more comfortable position, his expression finally relaxed, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although Li Linfu is exaggerating, Zhang Jiuling will not exaggerate, Li Siye's plan is indeed clever, how can a person who can come up with such a wonderful method be a mediocre person?" ”

Gao Lishi was helpless, it seemed that Li Linfu's words had planted seeds in the emperor's heart, and after thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said: "If Your Majesty is not worried about this person, then give him an order to change places." Or find an opportunity to summon this person one more time and see if he has real talents? “

"Very good," Li Longji nodded, and instructed Gao Lishi: "Let Concubine Hui come to Zichen Hall to sleep tonight." ”

"Whoa."

Concubine Wu Hui kept Li Linfu's clever plan in mind, and when she was sleeping, she blew the wind in her ears by the emperor's side, and always praised Li Siye, a close minister beside the prince, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Li Longji's heart even more suspicious.
