Li Xuan smiled casually, his eyes fell on the teacup, looked at the gently fluctuating tea, and said softly: "I heard that in Menxia Province, Pei Xiang is much tougher. ”

Cui Zhiwen raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xuan in a little surprise: "Is the East Palace going to intervene in the affairs of the province, or does the prince have an idea?" ”

"The east gate has no intention of intervening in the province under the door, and neither does this king." Li Xuan opened his mouth calmly and said, "It's just casual chat." ”

"Huh!" Cui Zhiwen smiled slightly, Li Xuan's words, Thakxin is a strange thing.

However, after a slight groan, Cui Zhiwen still spoke: "Pei Xiang also served in the military department in his early years, and he led the army to conquer more than once, so he has a tough personality and is decisive, so this is not a bad thing for the province." ”

Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province are in charge of the same secrets, discuss national affairs, and are responsible for reviewing edicts, signing seals, and having the right to refute them.

As the head of the subordinate province, Shizhong is tougher, which is beneficial in front of the emperor and in the political hall.

Pei Yan has a tough personality and is domineering, and now he is the only one in the province who is in the middle of the door, and he is even more so.

Therefore, the two must fight, and at this time, Li Xian can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Hmm!" Liu Renliang nodded, and then walked behind the low table.

Li Xuan turned around, bowed to Liu Renliang and said, "Yue Weng! ”

As for Pei Yan, he went to Shangshu Province, became the left servant of Shangshu, and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, although it is still pressed on Cui Zhiwen's head, but in fact, there is a gap between the door and Shangshu Province, and the two families have different responsibilities.

"It's Pei Xiang." Cui Zhiwen didn't do anything more at all, and made a judgment almost instantly.

Looking up, Li Xuan looked at Cui Zhiwen and said calmly: "Now in Shangshu Province, Zuo Xiang has resigned as Shangshu's left servant, Zhao Guogong bowed to Qianzhou, and his health is not good. ”

They can also choose nothing, in which case they won't get anything.

If they are willing to be obedient, then it will be of great help to the East Palace, and if they are unwilling to obey and collude with the Xiangwang, then they will be abolished, and they will be able to harvest a lot.

Relatively speaking, Cui Zhiwen's time with the three products under the Zhongshu Sect is much longer than Wang Dezhen's, and in terms of qualifications, he is the one who should serve in the service.

"He went to Shangshu Province, and Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province will unite against him, so that the situation can be balanced." Liu Renliang nodded, and looked at Li Xuan with approval in his eyes: "The idea is good, and the action is okay, Pei Yan is willing to go to Shangshu Province if he wants to, so there is only one question left, will Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven agree?" ”

"The province will not be embarrassed." As soon as the words came out, Cui Zhiwen understood.

Li Xuan was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will act, it is not something that we can predict, we only need to put the suggestions in front of Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, it is enough, as for the final decision, it is a matter for Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." ”

The Zheng family is still too deeply implicated by the hidden princess, and the future has been bumpy for many years, and its methods are inevitably extreme.

Using Pei Yan to fight against Empress Wu, this is Li Xuan's real purpose.

Although Cui Zhiwen and Wang Dezhen are also prime ministers, they are only the squire of the Yellow Gate after all, and compared to Pei Yan, the two of them have much less right to speak.

Li Xuan hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "What is good for the world is good for the prince." ”

Cui Zhiwen blinked, finally looked at Li Xuan and said, "However, Xue Xiang is the prince's left concubine, will the prince not support Xue Xiang but Pei Xiang?" ”

"And when?" Liu Renliang stared straight at Li Xuan and asked, "When will Pei Yan be promoted as Shangshu's left servant, who will speak first?" ”

"Cui needs to think about this matter." After a slight pause, Cui Zhiwen spoke: "Today's matter, please ask the prince to persuade him more in front of the prince." ”

"After the Zen Seal." Li Xuan bowed his head slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Next year, all the affairs in the world, Your Majesty should have a decision after sealing the Zen, therefore, the prince will propose that there is a shortage of people in Shangshu, and the prime minister needs to enter the Shangshu Province, and the East Palace will recommend Pei Xiang." ”

But fortunately, the prince handled it properly and did not make the situation worse, so the situation was better.

For this kind of person, most people don't want to get too close to them, but they still have something to use after all.

Liu Renliang nodded slowly, then looked at Li Xuan again, frowned and asked, "Then what about Pei Yan, how could you think of pushing Pei Yan to shoot for Shangshu's left servant, is there something unspeakable in this?" ”

Originally, it was not normal for the province to have three prime ministers, so Pei Yan was transferred, and between Cui Zhiwen and Wang Dezhen, he chose one to serve as a waiter, another to guard the Yellow Gate, and finally a Yellow Gate waiter, so that the province was balanced.

However, Liu Renliang had the responsibility of controlling the water and moving the platform, so he found a reason to leave.

Immediately, he was keenly aware of the benefits.

"After the canonization of Zen next year, it will be proposed by the prince." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan and said directly: "So you all think that Your Majesty should not be able to pass the level of sealing Zen next year, so the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the prince took the emperor's order, appointed Pei Yan as the left minister, and used Pei Xiang to contend with Pei Xiang internally, and Pei Xiang to contend with the queen of heaven externally, what a good calculation!" ”

Li Xuan pushed Pei Yan out alone, and with Pei Yan's character, under the strong situation, the prime ministers were dissatisfied and sought foreign aid, which was naturally the best for the prince.

Cui Zhiwen suddenly understood completely.

……

Pei Yan wants to be the left minister, and the ministers of the political hall agree, and even the prince will not object, so it is the decision of the Empress Wu and the emperor.

Li Xuan bowed and was silent.

Cui Zhiwen was silent, he knew that what Li Xuan said was right.

"It seems that the lower officials have to control their families more." Raising his head, Cui Zhiwen looked at Li Xuan: "So what about the children of the Zheng family, in the eyes of the prince, how are the children of the Zheng family?" ”

Pushing Pei Yan to shoot at Shangshu's left servant, as soon as Li Xuan's words came out, Cui Zhiwen's face was full of disbelief.

Because Empress Wu couldn't give Pei Yan what he wanted, Pei Yan was already the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, and it was already the ceiling if he went up.

"The prince is really good." Cui Zhiwen looked at Li Xuan and shook his head with emotion.

Although the discipline of the Cui family has never been relaxed in the past few years, since Cui Zhiwen was promoted to prime minister, the spirit of the Cui family has dispersed.

At that time, although Pei Yan was still pressing on Cui Zhiwen's head, his suppression of him was no longer as suffocating as that of his direct superiors and subordinates.

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then sat down next to Liu Renliang before he spoke: "Pei Xiang has a tough personality, when Your Majesty was in Chang'an, Pei Xiang also contradicted Your Majesty many times, this year the prince was in charge of the country, Pei Xiang was in the center, and there were many disputes with Xue Xiang, but fortunately, with Yue Weng here, the center was stable, and the government and the opposition were running in an orderly manner." ”

"But," Li Xuan looked up at Liu Renliang and said with a solemn expression: "Just what my grandson-in-law heard, I know that Pei Xiang is a person with a great desire for power, no one in Shangshu Province, and Xue Xiang in Zhongshu Province can't suppress him, so he simply asked him to do this Shangshu left servant." ”

In that case, there would be no need for them to come to Luoyang.

Now in Menxia Province, a situation has been formed in which Cui Zhiwen and Wang Dezhen have joined forces to resist Pei Yan.

Pei Yan left Menxia Province, so naturally the subordinates were completely vacant.

Li Xuan picked up the teapot again, poured a cup for Liu Renliang, and then stood next to him and said: "The Zheng family is too treacherous, it is not the way of a gentleman, nor is it the way of a minister, the Zheng family can be used, but it cannot be reused, presumably Your Majesty and the first emperor know it." ”

Li Xuan suddenly sighed deeply and said: "Cui Xiang and Xue Xiang have also worked together for many years, from Cui Xiang's point of view, if the two of them fight, Xue Xiang and Pei Yan fight for this Shangshu left servant, who can win?" ”

Liu Renliang turned sideways, sighed lightly, and said, "The Zheng family is unlucky, the overall situation is like this. ”

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and looked at Cui Zhiwen: "If Pei Xiang is the left minister, ...... when there is something in the East Palace."

"If they honestly marry their daughters and enter the East Palace, then naturally everything is easy to say, but if they want to make a fuss about King Xiang, then ...... in the end" Li Xuan's palm slashed lightly to the side, and the murderous aura in his eyes was solemn.

The hatch closed again, and Li Xuan sent Cui Zhiwen away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, he could understand Cui Zhiwen's subtext, and he wanted to listen to this.

But it can also be seen that without Shangshu's left servant, it is difficult to suppress Pei Yan just by the prince and the prince.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Lu Zangyong, Lu Zhaolin, are all talents in the world...... Of course, the Cui family is no exception, but many times, they don't seem to be attentive enough. ”

"Don't you have a good impression of the Zheng family?" Liu Renliang walked out from behind the curtain in the inner room.

After all, Xingyang is a big city in Henan, and there are half of Henan's fields east of Xingyang, all of which are among the radiation of Xingyang Zheng.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Although Xue Xiang is meticulous and cautious, he always lacks a trace of courage at a critical time, and this is what Pei Xiang has. ”

No one in the court can compete with Empress Wu, even Pei Yan now has the appearance of colluding with Empress Wu.

Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao had several troubles, and they also made trouble in front of the prince.

Pei Yan not only had a dispute with Xue Yuanchao, but also had a big dispute with Liu Renliang.

Cui Zhiwen raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Xuan with puzzled eyes, and said: "There is no one in Shangshu Province, but in terms of qualifications, it should also be Xue Xiangren's left servant, how can it be the turn of Pei Xiang?" ”

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and then said: "Our courtiers, what we do is just for the stability of the court and the stability of the world. ”

Cui is Cui Ming.

Liu Renliang nodded slightly, but his face was a little unsightly.

Cui Zhiwen then stood up, looked at Li Xuan with a smile, and was about to nod and leave, when suddenly, he stopped, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "After several contacts with the prince, the prince doesn't seem to be very close to the children of the Cui family, but favors the children of the Lu family?" ”

What's more, there is also Xue Yuanchao from Zhongshu Province to share the pressure......

……

Of course, this is on the outside, but on the inside, it's a different story.

But if Pei Yan was the left minister, Pei Yan would never collude with Empress Wu.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "This king hasn't seen many Zheng family disciples, but they are too wise to protect themselves, and at the same time, they have too much dissatisfaction. ”

Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan and breathed heavily: "Ling is in Fanzhou this year, and he must not know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, let alone know about His Majesty's illness and life, and the only thing that can be connected to you is His Majesty's trip to Songshan at the beginning of the month, what happened there, that Dan, he should have practiced it, right?" ”

Li Xuan raised his head calmly and spoke: "Dancheng, is it related to life and death?" ”
