Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 59 The Argument of Yaxian (2)

Sure enough, what a Empress Dowager, under such circumstances, still dare to act like this, so courageous, so strategic!On the surface, Li Xian was studying the imperial decree carefully, but in fact, he had memorized everything contained in the imperial decree in a single glance. The final offering is not the Princess Yan of the previous life, but Da Sikong and Li Ji. Although this change is subtle, it is even more terrifying and difficult to resolve.

Li Ji is not an ordinary person, but he is the Dinghai God of Tang Sheji. Although he is in a semi-retired state now, he seldom goes to court, and usually doesn't care about things, but once he utters a word, the court will be full. No one in civil and military affairs would dare to quarrel with him. Li Ji contributed a lot to the reason why Empress Wu was able to become queen. Although he just said, "Why should you ask outsiders about your majesty's family affairs", it made the original resistance great The matter of changing the empress was completed in a logical manner, even the powerful grandson Wuji at that time was helpless, now that Empress Wu is carrying this banner and dancing, it is difficult to change the matter of enshrining Chan Taishan.

Things get tricky!Li Xian's scalp was numb for a while, and his brain was already working extremely fast. He thought of ways one after another, but they were not very reliable. At least Li Xian himself didn't think that those so-called ways could veto this job. The key point is that Li Ji's prestige is too high, so high that no one can compete with him. It is almost impossible to offer a gift. If you only object to Empress Wu as Yaxian, it is too obvious and not easy to do. After all, as a son of man, it is not appropriate to openly oppose your mother. Whether it is Li Hong or Li Xian It's not easy to show this face, in a word, it is too difficult to overthrow this imperial decree.

"Brother Prince, enshrining Mount Tai is a good thing, it is enough to show the strength of my Tang Dynasty, and I don't know what my brother thinks about this?" Li Xian pondered for a long time, seeing that it was really difficult to find a suitable reason to object, so he had no choice. , so I can only pretend to be confused.

"Does the seventh brother also think it's good? That's good, as a brother, I don't have any other opinions."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, waved his hands lightly, and said something irrelevant, he wouldn't catch the ball kicked by Li Xian at all—the impression Li Hong gave He has always been a bit weak, but he is actually an extremely shrewd person. Since the case of the imperial edict, Li Hong has been paying attention to Li Xian's actions, and faintly noticed that most of Li Xian's actions seemed to be aimed at Empress Wu. , although I don't understand why Li Xian is like this, but in Li Hong's view, this is a good thing. At least in the matter of curbing Empress Wu's random political interference, the two sides have a basis for cooperation, but that's all, after all, the two sides are not one Yes, Li Hong naturally wouldn't reveal his thoughts easily.

Heh, good guy, we are really determined, this is for us to do the Cry of the Horse, hey, you are beautiful!Li Xian's mind was very alert, so how could he fail to guess where Li Hong's mind was, Left and Right just wanted to be the one who stood out, otherwise, they wouldn't have hurriedly summoned him.

That's right, Li Xian really wanted to bring down Empress Wu, but he didn't intend to sacrifice himself just because of it. He had to take risks to a certain extent. If he knew that he was going to die and rushed up, that wasn't bravery, but foolishness. Obviously, Li Xian wasn't going to Being so stupid, in his opinion, what is going on right now is obviously something that can hardly be done, how dare Li Xian fight such a battle that is completely uncertain.

"Your brother has been taught." Li Xian's thoughts turned quickly, and he had already figured out the situation in an instant. He didn't want to make any more details about this matter, so he bowed his hands solemnly and replied noncommittally.

"Oh?"

Li Hong obviously didn't expect Li Xian's reaction to be so calm, he couldn't help but choked for a moment, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and said softly, but didn't express anything else.

"Brother Prince, I have been practicing martial arts all morning, and I feel quite tired. If Brother Prince has nothing to explain, I will leave and come to listen to my brother's teaching later." Li Xian no longer intends to get involved in this matter, Seeing that Li Hong was silent at this moment, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed his hands respectfully and said goodbye.

"Seventh Brother, wait a minute." Seeing that Li Xian was about to leave, Li Hong immediately lost his composure, and pressed his hand to signal Li Xian'an to sit still, but he himself suddenly got up and paced up and down the room anxiously go.

"Seventh Brother, you should know that Feng Chan is an ancient ritual, and its regulations cannot be changed easily. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to God. Today, Tai Chang Bo (another name for the Minister of Rites) is not vacant. Why change people? The queen mother's move... Sigh, I really don't agree with you as a brother, how can the seventh brother sit comfortably?" After deliberating for a while, Li Hongsi decided to speak clearly.

Well, if you don't agree, you can just go ahead and read the book, what's the use of telling us?Hearing what Li Hong said, Li Xian couldn't help but sneer in his stomach, but his face was extremely indifferent, without any expression, his lips were tightly closed, and he refused to answer the topic that Li Hong was about to throw.

"Forget it, since the seventh brother is tired, let's say we're tired." Li Hong waited for a long time with hope, seeing that Li Xian was still silent, his heart sank, knowing that he couldn't persuade Li Xian to do such dirty things. In addition to being disappointed, he couldn't help but feel resentful, so he waved his hand like chasing flies, and issued an order to evict the guest impatiently.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Prince, and my younger brother will leave."

Li Xian didn't want to stay any longer, but when he heard Li Hong's eviction order, he was happy to obey, so he stood up, saluted respectfully, and then left the study.

"Seventh brother stay behind."

Just as Li Xian was about to leave the study, Li Hong's voice came from behind.

"Brother Prince, please tell me if you have something to do, and I will just listen to you."

Although Li Xian had decided not to participate in this matter, he didn't want to offend Li Hong too much, so he stood still, turned around, bowed his body, and put on a posture of respectfully listening to instructions.

"Well, seventh brother, would you like to go to Yinggong's mansion for my brother?" Li Hong glanced at Li Xian, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and asked in a deep thought.

To find Li Ji?What are you doing?Want this old man to come forward and go to Shangben to oppose Empress Wu?Nonsense!Although Li Xian didn't have much contact with Mr. Li, he still knew a little about him. From Li Xian's point of view, this old man was a wise and safe master, so it was impossible for him to touch this chapter at the risk of offending Empress Wu.

"The elder brother of the prince has an order, and the younger brother should follow it. I just don't know what the elder brother of the prince wants the younger brother to pass on. Please make it clear that the younger brother can follow it." Li Xian did not want to go to the British government with 12 points. But it was not easy to refuse Li Hong's request in person, so in desperation, he simply picked out the topic.

"Brother, I don't have anything special to say. The seventh brother can just go to congratulate me." Li Hong saw that Li Xian's words both inside and outside revealed the intention of refusing to be a lobbyist, so he couldn't force him, so he had to order casually. One sentence.

"Yes, I obey the order, and will definitely convey the greetings from the prince's elder brother to Duke Ying." Seeing that Li Hong was no longer pressing, Li Xian was relieved, and respectfully agreed.

"Forget it, that's all right, let's go."

Seeing that all the painstaking efforts had gone to nothing, Li Hong felt impatient and couldn't be bothered to chat with Li Xian anymore, so he waved his hand to signal Li Xian to step back.

"The younger brother will leave."

Although he scoffed at Li Hong's intentions in his heart, the courtesy that should be done is indispensable. Li Xian bowed and sang a promise, turned around and exited the study, left the East Palace, and took advantage of the carriage to return to his home , I went all the way and thought hard all the way, but in the end I still couldn't find a way to prevent Empress Wu from taking on Yaxian. Although I was unwilling, I was also very helpless.

"The next official sees Your Highness."

Outside the gate of Prince Zhou's mansion, Li Xian just got out of the carriage, before he could stand on his feet, Lynch had already appeared from the side, bowing his body to say hello.

Is this guy a coincidence?Hey, nine times out of ten, they also came here for Feng Chan Taishan!Li Xian glanced at Lin Qi, his heart moved slightly, and he had already guessed his intention, but he didn't say anything to point it out, he just raised his hand and said flatly: "Forget it, just follow me into the mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After being taught a lesson by Li Xian before, Lin Qi no longer dared to show the slightest bit of reserve in front of Li Xian, so he respectfully agreed and followed Li Xian. In the front hall, they stood respectfully at the side, listening to Li Xian's instruction.

"What's the matter with Lin Yushi coming to see Gu Ke?"

Li Xian was not in a hurry to speak, but let Lynch stand there, drinking a few sips of herbal tea on his own, and then asked slowly.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, did you enter the palace today to enshrine Chan Taishan?" Lin Qi cupped his hands and asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right, there is such a thing, what does Lin Yushi think about it?" Li Xian replied in a flat voice while drinking tea without raising his head.

Hearing Li Xian's words seemed displeased, Lin Qi hurriedly took a small step back, and hastily replied: "Don't dare, dare not, I also got some news, and I'm here to ask Your Highness to make clear what to do." .”

behavior?Well, this is a good opportunity for the sixth boy to return to court!Li Xian raised his brows, he was already thinking about it, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. After pondering for a moment, he said cautiously: "There is no rush for this matter, um, wait a few days before we look at it."

"Ah, this..." Lynch actually had an opinion in his heart, and he wanted to make a good show on this matter, but when he heard that Li Xian wanted him to stand still, he was immediately discouraged.

"What? Does Lin Yushi have any other ideas?" Li Xian didn't have a good impression of Lin Qi at all. If Li Xian didn't favor and trust him, Li Xian wouldn't even bother to pay attention to him. Seeing that he seemed to have a different opinion at this time He immediately frowned displeasedly, and snorted coldly.

"Ah, I dare not, I dare not, I only obey His Highness's order." Seeing Li Xian's gloomy face, Lynch panicked, lowered his head hastily, and hurriedly replied.

"That's all for now, Guzi will send someone to summon you in a few days." Li Xian put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and issued the order to evict the guest in a nonchalant tone.

"Yes, I will take my leave." After Li Xian had said so, Lin Qi didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly bowed and left the hall.

Hmph, the idiot who has more than failed to achieve success, the sixth guy is really blind, and regarded such a thing as a treasure!Li Xian glanced at Lin Qi's back, and contemptuously in his heart—it's one thing that Li Xian doesn't want to see Lynch, but the more important thing is that Li Xian knows Lynch's personality very well. The master who dared to open the dyeing workshop, if he didn't use force to suppress him, he would definitely miss a big deal. Seeing that he had left obediently, Li Xian didn't bother to pay any attention to it, and his mind turned to Fengchan Taishan again, suddenly Thinking about it suddenly, his face changed instantly.
