Standing in front of the door of the Ming Auditorium, Li Xuan bowed his hand and said goodbye: "There are many things, Your Highness may wish to discuss with Yao Zhan and Su Sima Duo, but there is only one matter, Your Highness needs to make your own decision?" ”

Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

"Zheng's entry into the palace." Li Xuan looked at the East Palace, and then said softly: "The matter of the Zheng family's marriage, as long as Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have a move, then the crown princess will definitely not be able to cover it up, Your Highness must be prepared, if you are embarrassed, you might as well tell the crown princess some of the details." ”

Li Xian's eyes jumped, and then he smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Wang and Gu have already talked a lot about the Zheng family, and Gu has calculated in his heart, Uncle Wang can rest assured." ”

"And so, the minister retired." Li Xuan bowed heavily.

"Uncle Wang, walk slowly." Li Xian nodded.

Li Xuan got up at this time, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Li Xuan leaving, Li Xian's gaze was slightly calm, and then his eyes became clear, he smiled, and turned back to the hall.

Li Xuan walked calmly in the East Palace, and at this time, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xian is the crown prince after all, although it is now a sensitive time, Li Xuan has to say a few more words, but it still arouses vigilance in Li Xian's heart.

This made Li Xuan, who originally wanted to talk to him about the book of the Ministry of Rites, as well as other things, had to restrain his words and deeds.

But it's enough, if he really says too much, I'm afraid that the Empress Wu and the emperor should look for him.

Smiling lightly, Li Xuan believed that what he said today and the means he proposed were enough for Li Xian to hold out in the court for a while.

He will also do his best to help Li Xian do more.

Only if Li Xian is strong enough and has enough prestige, can he get more support when Li Xuan falls to the throne in the future.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

……

Outside the gate of the East Palace, Li Xuan walked calmly, and Su Liangsi followed on the side.

"The matter of the Ministry of Rites, Xuan has just talked to His Highness, and suggested that His Highness find his colleagues in the East Palace and ask them to recommend each other." Li Xuan's footsteps stopped and looked sideways at Su Liangsi.

Su Liangsi frowned and said, "Lord Wang, hasn't the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites already set the price of Lang Wei of the Ministry of Households?" ”

Wei Zhiwei, the former waiter of the Criminal Department, should have been promoted to be the waiter of the Criminal Department when Pei Yan was promoted to the waiter.

But because he wanted to make way for Wu Chengsi back then, Liu Boying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Wu Chengsi was transferred from Fenzhou to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

But it's a pity that Liu Boying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took the lead in becoming a scholar, and Duan Baoxuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Wei Zhiwei, who was transferred from the criminal department to the Fenzhou assassin history, returned to the dynasty, and could only be a household servant.

But in the eyes of the vast majority of discerning people, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu vacated by Wu Chenghei should have been taken over by Wei Zhihua.

It's just that now the emperor is seriously ill and has never had a dynasty, so he has been delayed.

"That's right, but Wei Shilang, isn't there no secretary of the Ministry of Rites yet, and there is room for manipulation in the middle."

Li Xuan glanced back at the East Palace and said, "Now don't say that the people in the East Palace have thoughts, even the Prime Minister's Mansion is probably no exception." ”

"The prince is talking about Doulu Shilang?" Su Liangsi immediately understood what Li Xuan was talking about.

Former Prime Minister Wang Changshi, Household Squire Dou Lu Qinwang.

"Both of them are household waiters, and Doulu waiters' qualifications are even deeper." Li Xuan paused slightly, looked at the head and continued walking: "In addition to these two, there are also Yao Changshi, Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, other waiters of the six departments, Shangshu left and right, Jiusi Siqing, the history of the governors of the four major prefectures, and the history of the assassins of Zhushangzhou, all of which have opportunities." ”

Su Liangsi shook his head slightly, and said affirmatively: "But the lower official still thinks that it should be Wei Shilang, and the last recommendation of the East Palace must be Wei Zhiqi." ”

After all, Wei Zhiwei is the princess's clan, and in the East Palace, there are also Wei Hongmin and Wei Ji, the two descendants of the Wei family.

Even if someone in the East Palace launched Yao Lingzhang to compete with him, I am afraid it will be difficult to win.

And Yao Lingzhang is not necessarily rare in this Ministry of Rites.

"There is a fight within the East Palace after all, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also needs to let the government and the opposition see it, but ......" Li Xuan looked up at Su Liangsi and said, "Brother Su, do you think that this is also an opportunity for Brother Su?" ”

Su Liangsi's footsteps stopped completely, and he said with a blank face: "Me? ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan lowered his head lightly and said, "Since Wei Shilang was transferred from the Criminal Department, the Shilang of the Criminal Department has been vacant, and now there is a vacancy of the Hubu Shilang, Brother Su has never thought of going further. ”

The six ministries of the court, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, which had no real power, were directly given up by Li Xuan; There is no shortage of people in the Ministry of Officials, but the Ministry of War is too sensitive; In this way, in the end, only the criminal department and the household department can take the turn of Su Lianghei.

Su Liangsi quickly calmed down, he looked up at Li Xuan and said, "In addition to guarding the East Palace, Xia Guan also has to help the prince watch the movement on the ground in Luoyang......"

"What do you think?" Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Su Liangsi, and said, "Do you look at it with the authority of Sima Yongzhou?" ”

Su Liangsi's brows jumped suddenly.

Su Liangsi ordered the inspection of Yongzhou Sima at the rate of the East Palace, which is naturally unimpeded in Chang'an, but this is Luoyang.

Luozhou Mansion has its own long history and Sima, where is Su Liangsi's turn to look east and west here.

All he could rely on was the position of the commander of the secret guard.

Although it can still make it convenient for him to act, after all, it is worse than Chang'an.

"So, what the prince means is the squire of the criminal department." Su Liangsi stared straight at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said: "Now on the ground in Luoyang, there are too many nobles from the court who have come from Chang'an, they are wanton in Luoyang, Henan County and Luoyang County are unbearable, and even if they are arrested, after Your Majesty seals Zen, these people may be released directly, so the Criminal Department and Dali Temple need to intervene." ”

"Then the prince can let the minister be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, why bother staring at the squire of the criminal department." Su Liangsi smiled slightly.

"The position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is too aggrieved Brother Su." Li Xuan turned around, looked in the direction of Menxia Province, and said softly: "The six squires and monks are left and right, and they can be directly transferred to the subordinates and Zhongshu Province to serve as squires, and a little further, it is the same Zhongshu Men Pingzhang Shi......"

With the sentence "Tongzhongshu Men Pingzhang Shi", Su Liangsi's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Li Xuan turned his head, looked in the direction of the Criminal Department, and said softly: "Even if you enter more slowly, there is also a Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple can be selected, of course, if Brother Su can be a household servant, I believe that in a few years, he can take over Cui Shangshu's position, Cui Shangshu's age is old after all." ”

Among the six servants, the heaviest position has never been the military department, but the official department and the household department, and the official department is even better.

However, the weight of the household department is also far greater than that of the criminal department and the military department.

Especially Cui Zhiyi is already quite old, in Menxia Province, and Cui Zhiwen, a younger brother who is the prime minister, he has no chance to go further.

With his age, Zhishi has also been in the past two years.

Su Liangsi took a deep breath, and then said with a wry smile: "In the matter of the household department, there is no hope of being a lower official, if you can make achievements in the criminal department, it is enough." ”

After a slight pause, Su Liangsi looked at Li Xuan and said, "This matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... there."

"This king didn't say this to the prince, a matter of the Zheng family, this king already feels that it is too much." Li Xuan shook his head lightly, looked at Su Liangsi and said, "With Brother Su's ability, it shouldn't be difficult for His Highness to think of the squire of the Criminal Department, right?" ”

"It's not a difficult thing, as long as the prince doesn't deny it when the time comes." Su Liangsi's gaze gently lingered on Li Xuan's face.

There are too many people who like to gently push you up, and then at the end, they come up with a trick to go up the ladder.

Now Li Xuan's approach is quite like this.

Li Xuan shook his head and said sincerely: "Since the prince entered the East Palace, many functions have been transferred to the East Palace from the outside, if Brother Su can open this precedent, then the eunuch journey of the East Palace will turn like flowing water, and people's hearts will gather more around the prince." ”

Su Liangsi nodded lightly, Li Xuan's approach was indeed the right way.

You are like Liu Xiangdao, the head of the Yongwang Mansion of the year, Liu Xiangdao is from the long history of the Yongwang Dynasty, directly promoted to the criminal department of Shangshu, and then promoted to the right servant of the Shangshu, and finally in the emperor Taishan when the Zen turned to the Ministry of Shangshu, accompanied the emperor to sacrifice Mount Tai, the next year will beg the bones to Shi.

With Liu Xiangdao as a precedent, the emperor Fu Gongyi and others in the back will firmly gather around Li Xian.

Now Li Xuantui Su Liangsi is the same.

Even Su Liangsi can see that once the emperor has something to do in the future, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and the prince Zhan Shi Yao Lingzhang will enter the political affairs hall as the prime minister, and he will do six Shangshu, plus a prince and princess Shangshu Wei will be priced, and Ouyang Tong, the uncle of King Peng's military department, will be able to control half of the power of the six departments immediately.

This is Li Xuan's real calculation, the real old strategy for the country.

"So, thank you Lord." Su Liangsi bowed his hand to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head with a smile and said: "This is the gentleness of the crown prince, but in these aspects, His Royal Highness is a little less sensitive, and I hope that Sima and Changshi will mention it more in the future." ”

"Whoa!" Su Liangsi seriously surrendered his hand, Li Xuan will leave Luoyang and return to Fanzhou after Mount Tai seals Zen tomorrow, and he will not be able to intervene in the affairs of the East Palace.

And looking at the current situation, he doesn't have much of the heart to get involved.

"So, then Aya will leave." Li Xuan turned around and bowed his hand to Su Liangsi with a sincere expression.

"Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, the good heir will arrange all the affairs of the East Palace." Su Liangsi returned the salute.

Li Xuan smiled, then turned to leave.

Su Liangji had been looking at his back from behind, and only sighed softly for a long time.

Su Liangsi understands that there are a lot of talents in the East Palace now, but at the critical moment, the only ones who can really be useful are him and Li Xuan.

He understands this, and Li Xuan understands this as well.

……

The night was dark and the candles were bright.

Li Xuan sat alone in the study, carefully sorting out some copywriting.

A lot of this news will be sent out at night, when the doors are closed and people's hearts are relaxed.

On the eve of the emperor's death, Li Xuan had a lot to do.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Immediately, Li Zhu said in a deep voice outside the door: "Lord, someone has come to the palace, and there is an edict from His Majesty." ”

Li Xuan stood up suddenly.

The emperor's edict, why did you come at this time?

In Li Xuan's mind, he couldn't help but think of last winter, when the emperor ordered him to return to Luoyang, who was hidden in Songshan Mountain, and directly copied the home of Xiao Dezhao, the squire of the military department.

Could it be that something like this is going to happen again?
