Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 633 Necessary Transaction (1)

"The position of Governor of Luoyang cannot be given!"

Although Zhang Jianzhi is a bit rigid, he is rare in the world in terms of grasping the overall situation. As soon as Zhuang Yong's words fell, he had already made a firm conclusion.

"Well, I also think so, but it's just a plan?"

Needless to say, the importance of the governor of Luoyang is self-evident. Li Xian would rather have one or two more chancellors in the Empress Wu's party than to let the position of governor of Luoyang fall into his hands. The problem is that now Li Xian is the crown prince. , has just officially entered the core of the political situation, and the overall strategic deployment has only just begun. Many ministers under him have not had time to recall, and it is really too difficult to win the court with one hand alone. Left and right, Li Xian himself is already a bit of a headache and can't find a way to win, so he can only let Zhang Jianzhi go to work harder.

"Pei Xiang, Dai and other prime ministers need to communicate more, this is one, as for the second, maybe it should fall on the King of Yue!"

As the saying goes, those who are difficult will not, and those who will meet are not difficult. In Li Xian's view, things that are extremely difficult, but in Zhang Jianzhi's hands, the conclusion can be settled in just a few words.

"Huh? Uh..."

After all, Li Xian is not an ordinary person. When he heard Zhang Jianzhi's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he soon came to his senses. He nodded thoughtfully, and quickly thought about it—— It is not too difficult to win the support of Pei Xingjian, Dai Zhide and other old officials, probably because these old people are quite annoyed by the dictatorship of Empress Wu, but they dare not stand up for it because of Empress Wu's power. Showing off his head to fight Empress Wu, even if all the old ministers refuse to help, they will never do anything that hinders them. Li Xian is quite sure of this. As for dealing with the old fox, King Yue, then But it is not an easy task, you have to be more cautious in the end, otherwise, once you miss the snake, you may be bitten by the snake.

"Your Highness, the King of Yue has tried several times to transfer his son Li Wen from Hexi, but it is not available. Maybe we can start from here."

Seeing that Li Xian didn't make a statement for a while, but instead frowned, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he said something to wake him up.

"Well, it's natural, just being so fearful is not enough, Zhuang Yong, I will immediately prepare the information of Zhang Chu and Yan Wanshan for me, and send someone to send it to me in the morning tomorrow. In addition, mobilize manpower to send ' Evergreen Firm is on the lookout, and if there is any disharmony, I will settle it in one fell swoop!"

Li Xian was originally a master of intrigue, once he had an idea, the arrangements and preparations he made would naturally be very ruthless, so he decided to use sticks and carrots at the same time—the fact that Li Xian's subordinates owned the "Deng Ji Firm" was a big deal It is almost an open secret among Tang's high-level officials. The big guys just tacitly admit it. Many aristocratic families are jealous of the strong profitability of "Deng Ji Firm", and they are not less in private according to this model. No exception, the company he opened in private is "Changqing Company". Compared with "Mingdi", both in terms of quality and quantity, it is far behind, it is not at the same level at all, and it can be destroyed with a single hand.

"promise!"

Li Xian's order was extremely ruthless, it was to dig people's roots, if there was a real battle, there would be many enemies that would be destroyed, but Zhuang Yong didn't even frown, he agreed without hesitation.

"Gao Miao, I'm going to post a greeting card. I invite my eighth uncle to come here tomorrow, and say that my palace wants to discuss with him about the promotion of grain seeds and water conservancy construction in Xiangzhou. If he can't make excuses, you can tell him. My palace said It’s too late, you will bear the consequences!”

Li Xian has always been a master who doesn't play cards according to the rules. Now that he has made up his mind to play the big one, he is ruthless to the bone.

"No, the servant will obey."

Gao Miao is not very courageous. Even though he has experienced many storms with Li Xian these years, he couldn't help but shiver a little when he heard Li Xian's hostile confession, but he never dared to be negligent and hurriedly responded. With a sound, he hurriedly withdrew and went to prepare for related matters without mentioning it.

It was already dark, and it was time for dinner. In the second hall of the Prince of Yue’s Mansion, several huge tallow candles were burning brightly, illuminating the huge hall brightly. The King of Yue, Li Zhengao, who was dressed in a purple single robe, sat at the head, The first few tables were lined up in two rows. Li Chong and his disciples were sitting upright. There were quite a few people, but they were very quiet. Even the sound of chewing was so small that it was hard to notice unless they saw it with their own eyes. There are so many people in this hall, all this is because Li Zhensu has always behaved well, and what he pays attention to is the old saying of "do not talk when eating".

"His Royal Highness, the eunuchs Gao Miao and Eunuch Gao, the chief eunuchs of the East Palace, have come and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order for you."

Amidst the silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, but the housekeeper of the palace hastily turned out from behind the screen, rushed to Li Zhen's seat, and hurriedly made a report.

"Ok?"

Hearing that Gao Miao came running at this time, Li Zhen frowned involuntarily, and whispered suspiciously. After thinking for a while, she stood up and turned to her without saying a word. Walking outside the mansion, Li Chong and the others exchanged glances quickly when they saw this, they all stopped eating, got up and followed behind Li Zhen.

"Gao Gonggong, you are a rare visitor. Why do you have time to come to the Little Prince's Mansion today? Have you ever had a meal? If you don't mind, why don't you use it at the Little Prince's Mansion?"

Li Zhen's face was very gloomy all the way, but when he saw Gao Miao waiting outside the gate of the mansion, he immediately put on an impeccably amiable smile, and didn't mind Gao Miao's attitude at all. With a lowly status, he exchanged pleasantries first with a touch of flattery.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Facing Li Zhen and other high-ranking and powerful people, Gao Miao didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly took a step forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Eunuch Gao is being polite, please hurry up, please hurry up."

Without waiting for Gao Miao to finish the ceremony, Li Zhen had already rushed to the front and extended his hand to help Gao Miao politely.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue invites you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a greeting card here. Please take a look."

Gao Miao didn't have much contact with Li Zhen, but when he was by Li Xian's side, he could feel Li Xian's deep fear of this person. After standing up with Li Zhen's support, he stated the theme directly.

"Oh? Please wait a moment, Eunuch Gao, and let Xiao Wang watch."

Li Zhen stretched out both hands to take the invitation card from Gao Miao, bowed slightly to show grandeur, then put the invitation card next to the lantern held by her entourage, opened the cover page covered with yellow silk, and carefully looked up.

"Oh, tomorrow morning, Xiao Wang has already decided to go to the Ministry of Households to supervise the matter of river water transportation, and he has already informed the Queen of Heaven. In this way, I am afraid that the timing is really unlucky, so Eunuch Lao Gao will convey it to Xiao Wang. I'm sorry, after the morning court the next day, Xiao Wang will definitely enter the East Palace to apologize to His Royal Highness, and please forgive me."

Taking a closer look at the opening of the greeting post, Li Zhen made a quick calculation in her mind, and she had already made up her mind, but when she saw Gao Miao's expression on her face, she bowed her hand to Gao Miao, and she declined apologetically.

"Forgive me, my lord. Your apology is for your lord to say to your highness personally. My highness has explained that if your lord doesn't come tomorrow, you will be responsible for all the consequences. Don't blame me for being unpredictable."

Hearing that Li Zhen really didn't intend to go to the East Palace, Gao Miao's face immediately turned serious, and he said a harsh word according to Li Xian's previous explanation.

"Presumptuous, you dare to..."

Gao Miao's words were really harsh, Li Chong, who had always been impatient, couldn't hold back immediately, and without waiting for his father to express his opinion, he raged on the spot.

"Bold, don't back down!"

Although Li Zhen was equally annoyed by Gao Miao's aggressive words, she absolutely did not want to have an affair with the Donggong family. Seeing Li Chong's unscrupulous words, her face immediately became ugly, and she ruthlessly turned to He scolded and said.

"Father, child..."

Li Chong was obviously pissed off, even if it was his father who had always been afraid of him, he still tried to argue with his neck.

"Shut up and back off!"

It's Li Zhen's strategy to be both right and left, and he can't tolerate Li Chong messing up indiscriminately. Now that he dares to speak up, how could he be polite? He glared at him, and shouted angrily. .

"Yes."

Seeing that his father was really angry, Li Chong didn't dare to say any more, he could only agree to the promise with anger, and stepped back angrily.

"The dog's rudeness made Eunuch Gao laugh, hehe, since His Royal Highness has an order, Xiao Wang should follow it. Tomorrow, Xiao Wang will go to the East Palace to listen to His Highness' instructions."

After Li Chong's seizure was over, Li Zhen put on a smiling face again, and very respectfully agreed to Li Xian's invitation, it really changed his face a little faster than turning the pages of a book.

"That's very good. His Royal Highness is still waiting for the servant to reply, so the servant will stop disturbing the prince. Farewell, farewell."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Gao Miao didn't want to stay for a minute longer, left behind a scene, and immediately led the accompanying eunuchs away.

"Gao Gonggong walks slowly, Xiao Wang will not see him off."

Li Zhen graciously sent Gao Miao to the carriage, and said a few polite words, but as soon as Gao Miao's carriage turned around the screen wall, Li Zhen's face drooped instantly, gloomy. Almost dripping water.

"Father, that guy is really too rude, why do you think I'm waiting?"

Gao Miao's attitude was so aggressive, not only Li Chong was furious, but even Li Qian, who had always boasted of gentleness and elegance, couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that Gao Miao had left, she immediately went to his father's side, annoyed complained.

"Well! Let's talk in the mansion!"

Li Zhen obviously didn't want to listen to these unnutritious nonsense, so she raised her hand unceremoniously, interrupted her son's complaints, yelled at him with a sullen face, and walked into the gate of the mansion with her head down.
