The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 148 Royal Means
There are red oranges in the south of the Yangtze River, which are still green forests in winter.

Qiyi's air is warm, and his heart is cold.

You can recommend good customers, but there are many obstacles.

Fate is only met, the cycle cannot be found.

The only words are peaches and plums, there is no shade in this tree.

——Zhang Jiuling from "Sense of Encounter Part [-]"
……

The banquet was over and the guests dispersed.

On behalf of King Qing, Li Qiu sent the last distinguished guest to the carriage at the gate of the mansion.

Li Qiu arranged for the butler to handle the finishing matters of the banquet, while he went to the inner study to visit his father.

King Qing Li Cong drank a lot tonight and was a little tipsy.After drinking the hangover soup, he was half lying on the couch and squinting his eyes to rest.Seeing this, Li Qiu closed the door and was about to push out quietly.

King Qing Li Cong heard the footsteps and asked, "But Qiu'er?"

Li Qiu bowed and said: "It's the child, I'm afraid I'll disturb the rest of the father."

The two maids lifted King Qing Li Cong from the couch.King Qing Li Cong rubbed his temples and said, "No problem, come in."

Li Qiu then stepped into the room and knelt down in front of King Qing Li Cong.The maid served ginseng tea to the two.

Seeing that Li Qiu had something to say, King Qing Li Cong asked the maids and servants to leave.At this time, there were only father and son in the study.

Li Qiu asked: "Father, my son is unclear about something, please ask Father for advice."

King Qing Li Cong didn't look up, he took a sip of ginseng tea and said, "But ask Bai Fu?"

Li Qiu said: "Father, Bai Fu may be a talent, but this person clashed with Li Xiang's son in the street. Li Xiang deprived Bai Fu of his qualifications for martial arts, and used Bai Fu to frame the prince. Bai Fu and Li have settled their enmity. Li Xiang is The father's greatest support in the court, to offend Li Xiang for Bai Fu, is really..." Li Qiu pondered over his words and dared not speak directly.

King Qing Li Cong raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it really unwise?"

Li Qiu quickly bowed his head and said, "Father, Wang Mingjian, I don't dare. I just think this deal is not worth it."

King Qing Li Cong sneered and said, "You said just now that Li Xiang is our greatest support? Hmph, I think he is adding to the chaos! It's good that he doesn't recommend me, but it's not helpful. In the current situation, which prince does he recommend? It will withdraw from the battle for succession ahead of schedule."

Li Qiu was puzzled.

Qing Wang Li Cong controlled his emotions, and said slowly: "The court game is like a chess game. Before you make a move, you have to watch a few more moves. When Li Linfu first came to the throne, he tried to elect the longevity king Li Mao to be in charge of the East Palace. This violated the taboo of the Holy Majesty. Therefore, although the Holy Majesty loved Concubine Wu Hui, he did not make Li Mao the crown prince in the end.

Today, Li Xiang is the head of the hundred officials and has monopolized the power for nearly 20 years.The power is in the hands of the government and the opposition, and there is no way to increase it.If there is more support and support, wouldn't it be a step up to the sky?If you have a different intention, you can support the East Palace at any time.If the power of the prime minister is so great that it surpasses the power of the emperor, it will definitely touch the scales of the Holy One.How can your grandfather stand still? "

Li Qiu asked: "Li Xiang has a deep mind, didn't he think of this?"

King Qing Li Cong shook his head and sighed: "Well, it's not that he didn't expect it, but he didn't want to face this reality. He has offended the prince terribly after being prime minister for 20 years. If the prince is not brought down, once your third uncle ascends the throne, he will not be able to do so at the end of the day." Bao, the Li family cannot escape the misfortune of being captured by the barbarians."

Li Qiu asked, "Why didn't Li Xiang reconcile with the crown prince?"

King Qing Li Cong said: "Back then he supported Li Mao, the king of longevity, and he had formed a relationship with your third uncle. Even if he changed his family, it was rare for the prince to trust him. What's more, only by constantly attacking the prince and fighting against the prince can his position be stabilized.

Think about it, although Li Xiang also has some talents and methods, is his talent and popularity comparable to those of Zhang Jiuling, Yao Chong, and Song Jing?But when the sage was in power, he was the only one who was stable in the position, evergreen in the political arena.why?Prior to this, all the ministers regarded the prince as the foundation of the country and respected and obeyed him.He not only obeyed the orders of the sage, but also assisted the prince.Only Li Xiang can figure out your grandpa's thoughts.Since ascending to the aspect, he has continuously attacked the princes of all dynasties, from your biological father, Prince Ying, to your third uncle, Prince Heng. "

Only then did Li Qiu suddenly realize that Li Linfu was also one of the driving forces behind the murder of his father.Li Qiu gritted his teeth in hatred.

King Qing Li Cong said: "However, this method of pleasing the king is like drinking poison to quench thirst, and there will be endless troubles. The older the saint is, the more afraid he is, Li Linfu. Today, there is no possibility of reining in the precipice."

Li Qiu kowtowed and apologized: "The child is stupid, and now I understand the deep meaning of the father. What the father did today is to convey the message of cutting off with Li to the Holy One by wooing Bai Fu."

Qing Wang Li Cong said with a smile: "That's right, I am ashamed to be with such a person who is at sunset and west."

……

After Li Qiu left, two people came out from the secret door of the shadow wall, one of them was the person who secretly observed Bai Fu in the Xibei Hall today, and the other was the eldest grandson Yanxing of the Changsun family.

King Qing Li Cong stood up and poured tea for the two of them himself: "What does Master Changsun think of Bai Fu?"

Changsun Yanxing sighed with emotion, and said: "It's no wonder that Jiang Yinnong and Xu Taifu chose him. This son has extraordinary appearance and talent. He will be the most important weapon of the country in the future."

Qing Wang Li Cong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Yue Dan commented on Wushuang in the world, but it is rare for people to give such a high evaluation."

Changsun Yanxing also smiled and said: "This person can bend and stretch, today opened my eyes. Today is a great shame and humiliation. Few of the young people can bear it. Although Li Linfu held back back then, he gritted his teeth for that meal. , feeling resentful.

Bai Fu today is indeed a good method.In the face of humiliation, it is not patience, but resolution.Since you can't go, follow the trend.Forget your identity, let go of your ego, don't care about face, and mingle with humble people like servants.

Not only did he eat deliciously, but he also made friends with his servants and obtained information about the aristocratic family.

Such an alternative talent is rare in the world.If I can take this person under my command, I will guarantee my great Tang century-old foundation. "

Qing Wang Li Cong heard it interesting, it was hard to imagine how Bai Fu would win over his servants and spy on information, so he couldn't help smiling.

Changsun Yanxing went on to say: "The whole dinner, Mr. Pei and Mr. Zhang Yun, I observed separately, which once again confirmed our point of view."

King Qing Li Cong said: "May Mr. Wen have a good opinion."

Changsun Yan Xing said: "The master said: 'A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood energy is not fixed, and the abstinence lies in his sex; when he is strong, his blood aura is strong, and he abstains from fighting; have to.'

During the whole dinner party, we arranged for many beauties such as Hu Ji to sing and dance, serve wine and strike up conversations beside Bai Fu.Master Pei personally took him to visit the rare treasures in the palace.Bai Fu will also show a fascinated look when he sees a beautiful woman, and he will show greed when he sees a treasure, but all the expressions come from his heart, not rigid, depressed, or indulgent.Although we not only stimulated his desire with strong wine, but once the beautiful woman Caibo left his sight, Bai Fu's demeanor immediately returned to normal.

Throughout the dinner, Bai Fu was first humiliated by the housekeeper, then admired by His Royal Highness, and finally praised and praised by the royal nobles.No matter belittle or praise, his son is not surprised by honor or disgrace.Neither self-deprecating nor arrogant.From the beginning to the end, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and peaceful, honest in heart,

In the past 30 years, only Li Mi and Guo Ziyi have achieved this state. "

King Qing Li Cong fell into deep thought, and said: "It's really rare. I remember that when the father used a similar method to test Li Linfu, he didn't even look at the beautiful women with money. It shows that he has a deep mind and a tenacious will. Sure enough, it has been proven correct.”

Changsun Yanxing said with a smile: "To curb human desires, one's ability can only be considered medium. Only when the heart is like a mirror, things come and appear, and things go without leaving them, is the best."

Congratulations Your Highness! "
