In the inner hall of the East Palace, Liu Renliang glanced at Xue Yuanchao, shook his head, and said: "Pei Yan has a tough personality and a domineering style, but he does not lose his chances, and it is not easy for him to serve the East Palace wholeheartedly. ”

"Not bad." Xue Yuanchao answered, looked at Li Xian seriously, and said: "Pei Yan is deceitful and selfish, and unscrupulous, Your Highness must not forget the matter of Wenxi County." ”

Li Xian's brows suddenly furrowed, Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan competed for each other back then, and Pei Yan had colluded with Cheng Wuting and others to jointly impeach, which led to Pei Xingjian's failure and finally had to be transferred to the governor of Yangzhou.

It was also with Li Xuan's help that Pei Xingjian served as the guest of the prince of the East Palace.

It stands to reason that Pei Xingjian should also be invited to come over today, after all, he has done a lot of work for the East Palace in Yangzhou.

However, here today, after all, there is already Li Xuan, a general of the right guard, and if there is another general of the guard, there will be some taboos.

……

Li Xian's heart moved, turned his head to look at Li Xuan, and asked, "What does Uncle Wang think, how about Wenxi County Duke entering the political affairs hall?" ”

"To worship the prime minister with the merit of governing the hidden fields in Shandong to balance Pei Xiang, His Royal Highness's idea is indeed feasible." Li Xuan bowed slightly and said: "But even uncles and nephews like Wang Xiang and Pei Xiang, who are not too close on weekdays, can have a tacit understanding, the two Pei Xiang, does His Royal Highness think it is beneficial to the East Palace?" ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, turned to look at Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao, and both shook their heads at the same time.

Although Wang Dezhen and Pei Yan have a tacit understanding on Li Dan's affairs, it is only a tacit understanding after all, as long as they find a breakthrough, it is not difficult to separate the two.

What's more, there is already a gap between the two.

Although this time the alliance is surprising, with this time, it will not be difficult to guard against it in the future.

But the two talents who heard that the Pei family entered the political hall together, I am afraid that even the emperor and the empress do not want to see it.

Even if there was an extreme antagonism between the two, no one dared to bet on this kind of thing.

After all, on the throne, it is enough for them to eliminate all grievances.

Li Xian sighed lightly and groaned: "In this way, do you really want to push Pei Xiang to shoot for Shangshu's left servant?" ”

"Pei Yan may not take care of the East Palace when he acts." Xue Yuanchao's face was cold, and it was difficult for him to accept pushing Pei Yan to shoot for Shangshu's left servant.

"If Xue Xiang is willing to enter the palace in the afternoon and report to the Queen of Heaven and His Majesty about today's political affairs hall, this king will never mention the matter of pushing Pei Xiang to shoot as the left servant of Shangshu in the future." Li Xuan looked at Xue Yuanchao seriously, and the others in the hall also looked at him.

Xue Yuanchao was about to speak subconsciously, but the cold gaze of the Empress Wu appeared in his mind for the first time, and Xue Yuanchao couldn't help but hesitate.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Li Xian, and said: "Your Highness, pushing Pei Xiang to shoot for Shangshu's left servant, in fact, it is not so urgent, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven may not agree, if Taifu and Xue Xiang pay a little attention to their actions on weekdays, if there are some troublesome things, they can back down and give up three points, and let Pei Xiang go to reason with the Queen of Heaven." ”

Push Pei Yan out first, and then Donggong selectively supports it.

Li Xuan took a step back, and the East Palace also took a step back, and compromise was also a way.

Everyone else understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, but they couldn't help but look at Xue Yuanchao.

Xue Yuanchao's face was slightly ugly, but he still spoke steadily: "Actually, go and play with the queen of heaven, why bother Pei Yan, the prince can also." ”

"Lonely?" Li Xian was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why things were suddenly pushed on him.

Originally, he wanted to use the prime minister as a shield to ease the contradiction between him and Empress Wu, but now he wanted him to face to face with Empress Wu directly, and Li Xian immediately felt reluctant in his heart.

"The minister has been thinking about it for a long time recently, and he always feels that there is something His Highness has done wrong." As soon as Li Xuan spoke, he drew everyone's attention.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Please give Uncle Wang advice." ”

After a little muttering, Li Xuan slowly spoke: "Although the minister is young, he still remembers that the first emperor was seriously ill, and His Majesty used to take care of the first emperor, and he never stopped carrying water and medicine, and even did not return all night, and the first emperor once persuaded His Majesty to go out for a walk, but His Majesty did not dare to do so for the sake of filial piety, and only waited by the bedside. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan bowed slightly to Li Xian: "Your Highness, it's not that Your Highness is unfilial, it's just that compared to Your Majesty, Your Highness is so unbearable." ”

Li Xian was stunned, the pain in his eyes flashed, and then he slowly lowered his head, and he could even see a trace of tears flashing in the corner of Li Xian's eyes.

Suddenly, he covered his face and began to cry in a low voice.

Li Xuan's words really hit him.

A deep sorrow suddenly spread throughout the hall.

"Your Highness!" The other four people in the hall immediately stood down, bowed to Li Xianshen and said, "Please also ask Your Highness to be sad." ”

Li Xian eased slightly, then wiped his face, looked up at Li Xuan, and pleaded at Li Xuan: "Uncle Wang." ”

Li Xuan is different from others after all, he is a clan, he is the emperor's cousin, there are some things that others can't say, only he can say a thing or two.

Li Xuan stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "The minister knows that His Majesty asked His Highness to sit in the government hall to let His Highness be familiar with political affairs, but from the minister's point of view, this is not much help to His Highness, so it is better to serve by His Majesty's side, if the court is not puzzled, he can also be taught by His Majesty, and at the same time be sincere and filial." ”

Li Xian's expression was cleaned up, and he finally understood what Li Xuan meant.

Now he is of no use sitting in the political hall.

This can be seen from today's events, he sat in the government hall with the dignity of the prince, and almost overturned, what is the point of sitting in such a thing.

And these things, in the end, the emperor and Wu Hou decided, rather than this, he might as well be filial piety by the emperor's side.

And to tell the truth, the emperor is not in good health, and he, as a son, is fighting for power and profit outside, but he doesn't care about the emperor's body, which is indeed unfilial.

"What Uncle Wang said is very true." Li Xian nodded and looked at everyone: "Today's matter, according to the previous discussion, Gu will go to Zhenguan Hall to take care of his father in the afternoon." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone gave up their hands at the same time.

Li Xian waved his hand and turned his head sideways, he didn't want others to see the sadness on his face.

The crowd bowed their hands again before withdrawing from the inner sanctum.

……

In the nave, several men stood on their own.

Outside the palace, other subordinates of the East Palace looked at it from afar.

Standing in the middle hall, Liu Renliang looked at the crowd: "In this way, according to the previous discussions, Zongzheng Temple inquired about the engagement between King Xiang and the Zheng family, especially how much did Yuan Wanqing do here?" ”

"Yes!" Xue Yuanchao, Li Xuan, Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi gave up at the same time.

Zongzheng Temple check, it's just a skin, and the real check is the manpower of the East Palace.

Liu Renliang's expression became solemn, and at the same time he looked at everyone: "The matter of the Ministry of Rites, running inside and out, is just a trick, but in addition to this, if they discuss what should not be discussed, and what they promise that should not be promised, then it is the way to die, so people inside and outside the Prime Minister's Mansion must be investigated." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone gave up their hands at the same time, and with Liu Renliang's words, the entire East Palace had to move immediately.

Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be stared at to death, and if something goes wrong, there will be countless impeachments immediately.

Li Dan has done the affairs of the political hall.

If it was two votes to two votes in the end, it might just be a private easy, but in the first round, Doulu Qinwang won four votes at once.

The heart of the king is already well known, and it is not surprising that the East Palace reacted violently.

"The affairs of the Zheng family will be handed over to the prince's family order, notify the Wei family, and join the Dou family to investigate." Liu Renliang's expression was cold, and he sneered: "The Zheng family is so deliberate, and they are secretly prepared, I'm afraid it's more than that...... Check and see how many misdeeds they have. ”

"Whoa!" Yao Lingzhang immediately surrendered, and the prince's family ordered Wei Hongmin to be his subordinate.

The Wei family and the Dou family joined forces, and the Dou family was naturally reluctant to target Li Dan, but for the Zheng family, who coveted the position of the princess, their methods were absolutely powerful.

"Finally, the matter of the prince, if the prince stays by His Majesty's side for a long time, and the political hall will deal with it, what is your opinion?" Liu Renliang couldn't help but look at Li Xuan.

Xue Yuanchao also followed and looked at Li Xuan, he still didn't want to see Pei Yan Ren Shangshu shoot left.

However, in this situation, I also hope that Li Xuan can put forward more useful suggestions.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, stood up and said: "Taifu, if you don't want Pei Xiang to shoot for Shangshu's left servant, then you can try to take a person with a gentle attitude as the main political hall, so as to alleviate the contradictions in the political hall to the greatest extent and concentrate everyone's opinions." ”

"You mean, find a good old man?" Liu Renliang immediately understood Li Xuan's words.

"There is a good gentleman, calm the attitude of all parties, and when acting, Pei Yan's opinion is the mainstay, so that it can be settled for a while." Li Xuan gave up.

Liu Renliang's mind turned slightly, and then he nodded and said, "King Peng does have a way, so is there any other way?" ”

"Two more." Li Xuan arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "First, it is to introduce more prime ministers, Shangshu Province lacks two servants, Zhongshu Province Liu Xiang is outside, and he has to come back, Menxia Province, there is a lack of one servant, there are too many people, the situation will be chaotic, and it will take time to sort out the situation." ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xue Yuanchao.

Xue Yuanchao nodded calmly.

Although Li Jingxuan still has the position of Shangshu's right servant, everyone thinks that he can't come back.

This time, the emperor sealed Zen, and the emperor didn't think about summoning him back at all.

As for Liu Xianli, he fought in the Western Regions as a Zhongshu Ling.

If the war in the Western Regions is over and Liu Xianli returns to the court, he may be able to go further.

In this case, maybe he can suppress Pei Yan a few points.

But where is Pei Yan so easy to suppress.

Maybe it will be linked up with Empress Wu again, and the situation will return to the old view of history, which is what Li Xuan does not want to see.

But Liu Xianli returned to the court, if any of the servants were in the middle of the court, plus Shangshu's left and right servants returned to their positions, the situation was chaotic, and it might be able to last for some time.

Li Xuan continued: "The second is a long-term strategy, after all, the East Palace needs someone who can be like Pei Xiang, with a tough and decisive personality, and act quickly and aggressively. ”

As he spoke, Li Xuan's eyes looked at Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi.

Yao Lingzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, there was no problem with letting him do things, but after letting him go to the hard top martial arts, I am sorry that he couldn't do it.

"Then Brother Su is left." Li Xuan nodded at Su Liangsi, then looked at Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao and said, "Now that there are vacancies in both the Criminal Department and the Household Department, maybe it's time to push Sima further." ”

After listening to this, Su Liangsi bowed his hand slightly to Li Xuan.

He originally thought that all this would not be discussed until the fifteenth day of the lunar month, after Wei waited for the appointment of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, but now that the prime minister intends to take the throne, he has to move if he should move.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Yao Lingzhang, Yao Lingzhang nodded seriously and said, "Yes!" ”

Li Xuan looked at Xue Yuanchao again, and Xue Yuanchao nodded: "Yes!" ”

Liu Renliang saw that the situation was like this, and said: "Then let's act like this, Lao Yu and Xue Xiang will return to the political affairs hall, and the East Palace will act this time, mainly focusing on Yao Zhan's affairs, sitting in the East Palace, supplemented by Su Sima, acting outside, if it is an emergency, you can make a decision on the spot." ”

"Whoa!" Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi surrendered at the same time.

Liu Renliang turned to look at the inner hall and said softly: "Everyone, remember, this matter has nothing to do with King Xiang, it is all done by others in the palace privately. ”

"Whoa!" Everyone gave up their hands at the same time.

The emperor is seriously ill, and the royal family should not be turbulent, but the other wings of the Xiangwang Mansion should be completely killed.
