People are born to die, and there is no need to care. ”

The calm voice resounded in the main hall, the national teacher sat on the cushion, the window outside the hall was ajar, and the sunset outside the window was setting.

The light of the day is fading in Chang'an City little by little, like an empire hanging in the twilight.

Death is like a permanent separation, and it will inevitably bring sadness, especially the person who is about to die is still this national teacher who is respected and loved by hundreds of people in the Tang Kingdom.

Liang Xiaodao stood at the back, bowed his head gently, and did not say a word.

Li Xiu looked down at the national teacher's face, which had been gray to no color, and the deep ravines were like the Tang Dynasty, which had not been stable many years ago, and then saw those eyes.

There are more godlessness and bottomless muddle than before.

This old man who stood at the pinnacle of the empire did not know when he became so old and tired.

Li Xianyi stood by the window, with his back to several people, silent.

"What does Your Highness think will happen to the court after my death?"

The national teacher didn't care about his current state, and looked up at Li Xiu, as if he was being exquisite.

If he is alive, he will be able to balance the Taiwei, if he dies, he will be like a tiger out of the cage, and no one can suppress it, even if Yang Feihong stands up in front, it is still a little worse than Qi Qin after all.

"You didn't die at the right time. ”

Li Xiu did not answer his question, but spoke.

There are three people on the prince's side who can confidently completely suppress Qi Qin, and if the national teacher dies, there will only be two people left.

Li Xiu is about to go to Huangzhou, so there is one less person.

In any case, his words could be regarded as disrespectful, and the prince by the window frowned.

The national teacher didn't care, and said with a smile: "Except for you and me, if the prince goes all out, not to mention suppressing the captain, he can at least be able to fight against the court, but he shoulders the responsibility of supervising the country, and he lacks skills." ”

"The national teacher doesn't need to worry, Lone hasn't taken that old guy in his eyes yet. ”

Li Xianyi's voice floated faintly along the evening breeze.

The national teacher shook his head and did not show his face.

As he said, the crown prince needs to supervise the country, and the whole country has to deal with all matters personally, so there is no way to deal with the prince wholeheartedly, so there will always be omissions, and it will be very troublesome.

Li Xiu thought for a while, and then said: "Temple affairs do not necessarily have to be handled by the temple, and the rivers and lakes can also intervene." ”

The national teacher was thoughtful.

Li Xian turned his head around.

He continued: "If you don't want to be led by the nose, then you have to learn to strike first, I am in charge of the rivers and lakes of the Tang Kingdom, and after I leave, I will be the first to call the shots." ”

"Listening to Xuelou, Gusu City, Qingjiaosi, and Sanshengzhai are all standing on the end of Xianyi, why would we lose?"

Li Xiu turned his head to meet Li Xianyi's gaze.

Li Xianyi frowned, a little reluctant: "I know that you need to know how to be flexible to do big things, but I always feel uncomfortable relying on the forces of the rivers and lakes so openly." ”

Liang Xiaodao stood at His Royal Highness, and when he heard this, he suddenly grinned and said, "I really don't know what you are worried about, as long as Your Majesty does not personally remove your crown prince, even if the queen and King Wu jump high, what's the use?"

There is a lot of truth in that.

The confrontation between King Wu and the crown prince for so many years was to suppress each other and then raise his own prestige, thus forcing the Tang Emperor to make a change to appoint another crown prince.

That's why the crown prince's side will keep suppressing the prestige of King Wu's side.

Wu Wang is trying to improve himself.

But this is just a game between the two sides after all, and the person who decides all this in the end is still Tang Huang.

But it also seems very unreasonable.

Because the game between the two sides is too big, it has already involved most of the imperial court, if there is really any side that completely falls into the disadvantage, even if the Tang Emperor wants to favor the other at that time, it will not be possible.

......

If the one thing at stake is too big, no one can really see the ever-changing situation.

Even the Tang Emperor, who stood at the highest point, may not be able to make a decision and influence the situation with a single word.

The so-called tiger in the painting can injure people outside the painting, this is the truth.

A game of conspiracy prestige that no one can fully see.

"After I leave, you can communicate with Cui Yasi in the east, and Zheng Xiuyuan and Chu Zhaonan in the west, there is no need to worry about the north and south, with the assistance of these three people, there is no need to worry outside Chang'an. ”

Li Xiu instructed.

Li Xian nodded, his expression did not change, obviously he could think of everything Li Xiu thought of.

"Although Yang Feihong is cunning and will not leave any tail, but he lacks some decisiveness and ruthlessness in major matters, if the prince is undecided, he can ask Ding Yi. ”

Li Xiu continued.

In the imperial history, Cheng Ding Yi can indeed be regarded as an old fox, with him circling around on his side, and the combined efforts of Yang Feihong and the two are enough to fight against Qi Qin.

"Ask Yang Feihong and Ding Yi about things in the DPRK and China, and ask Chen Luo about things in the rivers and lakes. ”

Li Xian looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "You are very verbose today." ”

Li Xiu gave a lot of instructions, but Li Xianyi naturally knew these things, and he was not inferior to Li Xiu too much in terms of intelligence.

This point is clear to the people present in their hearts, since it is clear that there is still so much nonsense, it is verbose.

is unusual.

Li Xiu didn't answer, he was silent for a while, then looked at the National Teacher and asked, "Who does the National Teacher Mansion plan to let take over?"

The national teacher smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Who does Your Highness think is the most suitable?"

"Both Xu Ziji and Yan Hui are very suitable candidates. ”

Li Xiu looked at him and said softly.

"But I think Chen Yanyan is more suitable. ”

Li Xian's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he looked sideways.

Even Liang Xiaodao frowned.

You must know that not long ago, when the tower of the tower was climbed, Chen Yanyan's position was still on the queen's side.

At this moment, Li Xiu said that he would let him take charge of the National Teacher's Mansion?

Not to mention whether this matter is feasible, it is a question of whether the people in the National Teacher's Mansion can be convinced.

Li Xiu seemed to see what he was thinking, and then said: "With Yan Hui and Xu Ziji assisting, the people of the National Teacher's Mansion must have no two hearts. ”

Li Xianyi set his sights on the national teacher.

The national teacher was silent for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes and said, "Okay." ”

It's a bold move, but it's a clever move.

Li Xian kept nodding his head, and his mouth was amazed.

"When are you leaving?"

He looked at Li Xiu and asked.

Li Xiu looked out the window, and the sun had completely set.

Night descended on the earth, and the faint light of stars hung high above the sky.

"I'll leave tomorrow. ”

Li Xianyi was silent for a while, and then said: "Although the wasteland is far away, it is nothing, and the Tang Kingdom also has some forces in the wasteland, if you encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, you can go there." ”

Li Xiu glanced at him and said, "You are also very verbose today." ”

Then both men fell silent.
