Li Siye got the prince's favor and rested in the duty room of the right inner mansion, and did not have to go to the Cheng'en Palace to guard outside the palace at night.

He has something on his stomach and always can't sleep well, feeling that staying by the prince's side is not a long-term solution. Tomorrow, I must find an opportunity to tell him about the prince's current situation.

Early the next morning, the prince entered the palace as soon as possible, but Li Siye did not find a chance, so he had to continue to wait patiently. But after the prince's court, he did not return to the East Palace, but went to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion in Yongfufang to find King E and King Guang.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Li Ying returned to the East Palace and immediately sent someone to pass on Li Siye.

He finally got a free time, and went to the Lizheng Hall to meet the prince, and as soon as he walked to the palace, he heard the prince's hearty laughter, which was completely different from his previous gloom.

"Heiye, you are indeed a great talent, and even the King of E and the King of Light are full of praise for you. I have already written a note to Your Majesty, and I will promote you as the official of the Zhan Mansion in the East Palace, in fact, you can do Zhan things with your talents, but the promotion must be gradual, and after a few days, you will be promoted to your official position. ”

Li Siye knew that something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Song Shu has already been written, and it has been sent to the palace?" ”

"Not yet."

Li Ying stretched out her hand and picked up a piece of paper on the desk, and smiled at him: "I will order the internal supervisor to send the music to the lower province." ”

Li Siye hurriedly grabbed the piece of paper, stretched out his hand into a ball, and chewed it into his mouth.

"What are you doing? Li Siye! ”

He chewed a few bites and found that he couldn't swallow it, so he spit it out again and threw it into the paper basket next to the desk.

Looking at the anger on the prince's face, Li Siye hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, please Rong Chen say a few words, I am thinking about the safety of His Highness." ”

Li Ying put her hands behind her back angrily, feeling that Li Siye didn't know how to lift, so she snorted and said, "Okay, you say." ”

"Your Highness, yesterday at the banquet, you told me about Li Linfu and Li Xianggong's evaluation of me, can you say it again now?"

"Li Linfu said that you have the talents of Sun Bin and Kong Ming, so what?"

Li Siye clapped his hands: "Yes, that's it, this Li Linfu is not a good person, his praise is exaggerated, and it can even be said to be a killing." ”

"Kill?" Li Ying frowned, how could such a simple compliment become a joke.

"Your Royal Highness, who are Sun Bin and Kong Ming, they are the people who assisted the emperor in establishing his achievements in troubled times, and now it is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there is such a person around the prince, what will Your Majesty think? The prince must not think about it, and he must not ignore it. ”

Li Ying is also a smart person, and she suddenly thought of the key point of the matter, and her face suddenly became gloomy. He immediately grabbed Li Siye's hand and said excitedly: "Siye, thanks to your comprehensive thinking, Lone almost fell into their trap. Teach me what to do now? ”

Li Siye breathed a sigh of relief, since the prince was willing to listen, it would be easy for him to do it.

He pondered and said: "First, you must not be promoted to my official, second, the East Palace has many eyes and ears, and you can't usually be too close to me, and third, if necessary, I'm afraid I can't stay with the prince." ”

When Li Ying heard this, she was also taken aback, and said reluctantly: "Heiye, you have saved orphans and in danger twice, how can I be willing to let you leave, I don't have you, how can I deal with Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou's party." ”

Li Siye had many words hidden in his heart, which he wanted to say when he left the crown prince, but he felt that he should say them in advance. He wanted to try whether his subtle influence on the prince could change the fate of the prince, and whether it could change the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty like the butterfly effect.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has a few words of confidant to tell me, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to listen, he is naturally not afraid of attacks from any direction."

Li Ying's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly helped Li Siye and invited him to sit beside him, after these days of helping each other, he had already put his heart to Li Siye, and said sincerely: "Please also ask Brother Siye to teach me." ”

Li Siye still knows the urine sex of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, since the beginning of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, the transfer of the baton to the emperor's position has not been smooth, before Taizong passed on Gaozong, there was a case of Li Chengqian's rebellion and Li Tai's murder. After Gaozong succeeded to the throne, there was a strong woman Wu Zetian who usurped Tang Xingzhou and spared no effort to eliminate the Li family. During the transition between Wu Zetian and Zhongzong Li Xian, there was the Shenlong Revolution, followed by the Wei Rebellion, Li Longji led the troops to kill the Li family, and put his father Li Dan on the throne, and then made Li Dan become the emperor, which was really too chaotic.

What is Li Longji's biggest fear, isn't it that the curse of father and son competing for the throne will be repeated on him.

"Your Highness, you have to make it clear that no matter how Concubine Wu Hui, Yang Huan, and Li Linfu use their conspiracies and tricks against you, they will not be able to harm you, and the person who can really decide your life and death is Your Majesty. As long as you strive to be the crown prince that Your Majesty desires, no one can replace you. ”

"What does my father expect the prince to look like?" Li Ying raised her head and thought carefully, and then suddenly said: "Could it be that he actively participated in politics and performed outstandingly?" ”

Li Siye said in his heart, then you will die faster.

"Wrong! It's low-key. ”

"Low-key?" Li Ying was taken aback, he was the crown prince, and he had a guard of honor every day when he went in and out, and he couldn't keep a low profile if he wanted to.

"That's right! No matter how Concubine Wu Hui and Yang Wei calculate, you can't make a counterattack on the surface, because no matter how you fight back, Your Majesty will think that you are targeting him and the throne. Second, try to put an end to all private dealings, and make administrative dealings public, but don't associate with any foreign ministers in private, even with a few princes. ”

"How can this be? Lonely is already lonely, if you let me break off relations with King E and King Guang, I don't have any help, won't I become a lonely person? If something happens one day, no one will stand up and speak for me. ”

"Yes," Li Siye said firmly, "I want to turn you into a loner." ”

"In public, you can take the initiative to express your opinions and show your abilities, but in private, you must definitely maintain that state of isolation, so that you can finally get through."

Li Ying sat on the carpet in a daze, what Li Siye said had been mentioned to him before, but he had never said it as profoundly as he did, this amount of information was too large to accept for a while.

Li Siye also felt that he should be allowed to think slowly in solitude, this kind of thing is clear to the bystanders, and the authorities are confused. After all, he is not Li Ying, he can't understand the anxiety in his heart, and he doesn't have the sense of crisis. What's more, many things in the world are easier said than done.

"Your Highness, the minister's words, you think about it slowly, and the minister retires." Li Siye withdrew from the palace.

Li Ying was silent for a long time before she slowly raised her head and said with emotion: "What Heiye said is very reasonable." ”
