Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 646 The Mystery
What is this girl doing, sending such an inexplicable painting so well, what a waste!Li Xian looked at the painting sent by Princess Taiping upside down for a long time, but he really couldn't see what the meaning was inside. He just felt that things should not be that simple, so his brows were involuntarily locked together.

"What is your highness worrying about?"

Zhang Jianzhi, who was sitting on the sidelines correcting the papers, happened to have a question to communicate with Li Xian. Suddenly seeing Li Xian's expression was not right, he couldn't help being a little curious, so he asked casually.

"Oh, the painting given by that little girl in Taiping looks strange, and I am completely confused. I don't know if the master knows what it means?"

Li Xianzheng was in a dilemma, when Zhang Jianzhi opened his mouth, he was happy to push the problem over, so he explained with a smile, and handed the painting in front of Zhang Jianzhi.

"Oh? There is such a thing, let me read it."

Hearing Li Xian's words, Zhang Jianzhi's curiosity also arose, and he would not refuse. He took the painting handed over by Li Xian with both hands, and looked at it carefully. It seems that he has seen the strangeness, but he is not quite sure, so he stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and closed his eyes in thought.

"Sir, did you get something?"

Seeing Zhang Jianzhi's behavior, Li Xian couldn't help muttering, but he couldn't interrupt Zhang Jianzhi's contemplation with words, until Zhang Jianzhi suddenly opened his eyes, Li Xian hurriedly said something asked.

"Huh... Princess Taiping really sent a big gift this time, someone is going to make a fuss about the restoration of Persia!"

Zhang Jianzhi let out a sigh of relief, and gave a somewhat sensational conclusion.

"Huh? Why did you say that, sir?"

As soon as Li Xian heard Zhang Jianzhi's strange words, he couldn't help standing up suspiciously, and walked over to Zhang Jianzhi's table, and looked at the paintings spread on the table again, but he didn't see the painting. What is the mystery in it, I have to ask.

"Look, Your Highness, are these waves turbulent?"

Zhang Jianzhi didn't rush to explain, but asked back.

"Well, the waves are calm, but the ship is sinking, and there is this bloody knife under the water. This may mean that the murderous intention is hidden, but what has it to do with the restoration of Persia?"

Li Xian is intelligent by nature and has a lot of research on painting appreciation, so he can see some connotations, but he doesn't understand the connection between this murderous intent and the restoration of Persia.

"Your Highness can see this, it's not bad, let's see, what shape is that wave?"

Zhang Jianzhi made a rare joke about Li Xian, then pointed his finger at the water surface on the painting, and made a point.

"Bo? Thread? Oh, no, it's silk. Sure enough, Mr. Gao is clever. I dare to say that the girl is reminding me that the matter of Persia has hidden murderous intentions. Hehe, the palace is going to make a fuss about it. It's interesting, interesting!" "

Li Xian said it was funny, but there was no smile on his face. On the contrary, it was frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes were full of unconcealable evil spirit.

"It's menacing, Your Highness must not take it lightly!"

Zhang Jianzhi was afraid that Li Xian would lose his sense of control due to anger, so he hurriedly said something to wake him up.

"Well, I know what's going on in my mind, um, according to Mr., the thief's plan will come out?"

Li Xian's anger turned to anger, but he didn't lose his footing because of it. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest forcibly, and walked back and forth in the study for a few steps. He already had something in his heart, but He didn't say that he would come out, but asked in a deep voice.

"It's hard to guess. The left and right are just the tactics to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If His Highness cannot be transferred, it would be good to transfer the Hexi Army. The person who devised this plan is very clear about His Highness's intention to conquer the Quartet. This is the right medicine. This person knows His Highness quite well, and what he is using is a conspiracy, he must be a person who is very good at political planning, and looking at the rear party, there is no one with this talent, this matter is a bit strange."

Although Zhang Jianzhi didn't know much about military affairs, but he was very knowledgeable about tactics and strategy, so he had already seen the strangeness in it. As soon as Li Xian finished his sentence, he answered the question immediately.

"Yangmou? Hehe, this person has figured out Bengong's mentality, which is a bit interesting!"

In the area around the Persian Gulf, Li Xian definitely wanted to take it, and made a lot of related arrangements in secret, but the actions were extremely secretive, and he didn't want everyone to know about it. Except Zhang Jianzhi knew Li Xian's true intentions, Even Di Renjie, Luo Binwang and other confidants are not aware of this matter, because the time is not yet ripe, Li Xian does not intend to act without stabilizing the domestic situation, and now an outsider has seen through it, Li Xian is impossible Without thinking, the evil spirit on his body has been faintly revealed.

"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for talking too much. This is not the time to move lightly. You must not use weapons without authorization. Everything is still safe."

Zhang Jianzhi is such a shrewd person, as soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he knew that Li Xian had a plan to take advantage of the situation and send troops.

"Don't worry, sir, I won't go there in person, but, hey, it's just that if the Hexi army in my palace doesn't move, I won't be able to rest assured on the father's side. I'm afraid that the design of the bastard even took this into account. Really amazing!"

Li Xian didn't know that he couldn't use his sword lightly at this time, but there were some things that he didn't have to do if he didn't want to. In desperation, Li Xian could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Ah."

As the chief steward of the East Palace Department, Zhang Jianzhi's judgment on the situation is naturally not bad, and he knows that what Li Xian said is the truth. This is an act of fine-tuning the generals of Li Xian's Department since Gaozong last month It can be seen that there is something strange in it. The transfer of Longzhou governor Ling Zhong is a symbolic signal. Of course, this is not surprising. No emperor can tolerate his subordinates' self-respect, even if this person is himself. The most beloved son is no exception, and Zhang Jianzhi can't think about it, he can only use the word "drag". Emperor Gaozong didn't dare to take the risk of forcing Li Xian to defeat Li Xian completely in a short time. Regarding the chaos of the command system of the Hexi Army, Gaozong's attitude will inevitably change when someone pushes it. It is indeed not something that Li Xian can do without thinking about it. Other than a muffled snort, I didn't know what to say.

"Gao Miao!"

Li Xian didn't explain any more, but raised his voice and yelled.

"The servant is here!"

Earlier, when Li Xian and Zhang Jian were discussing matters, Gao Miao quit the study without knowing it, but he didn't go far, and waited outside the study door. Hearing Li Xian's summons, he dared not be negligent. He hurriedly ran into the room, and hurriedly bowed to answer.

"Go, pass on the order of the palace, and let Zhuang Yong check to see who has had a secret meeting with the queen mother in the past two days!"

The enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying enemy. Li Xian wants to find out who the opponent is in the first place. With the sharp weapon "Ming Di" in his left and right hands, Li Xian doesn't believe that he can't find out the opponent's root Come.

"promise!"

Although Gao Miao didn't understand the meaning of Li Xian's order, he didn't ask any further questions, he hurriedly agreed, and left the study in a hurry, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

"How does Your Highness plan to deal with this situation?"

Although it is inevitable to send troops, how to do so is very particular. After all, Hexi is not close to the Persian Gulf. The outcome of such a long-distance battle is really unpredictable. Zhang Jianzhi's worries are inevitable. What I was afraid of was that Li Xian would be impulsive and put all his main force into this expedition. If he lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"If a war is to be fought, it must be won. There is no doubt about this, but the scale of the war must be controlled. The ultimate goal is to restore the Persian kingdom. It is just that the palace has not yet considered clearly how to plan."

Fighting a war is not a drawing exercise, nor is it a word of mouth. Although Li Xian has tried his best to collect information about the Persian Gulf, he has never been there in person. If he really wants to come up with a strategy, it is really impossible. , but there is one thing that Li Xian is certain of, that is, although the national power of the Great Food Kingdom is weak, the combat effectiveness of the army brainwashed by religion is not too weak. It is very difficult to wipe out the country at this time. All that can be done is to launch a local war, and the best result is the successful restoration of Persia, thus laying a reliable bridgehead for Datang to conquer the entire Persian Gulf in the next step.

"Your Highness misunderstood, what the old minister asked was how His Highness plans to deal with the turmoil in the court situation!"

Although Zhang Jianzhi has participated in many military operations, he still doesn't know much about military strategy and tactics. With Li Xian as a military expert around him, he will not be distracted by military affairs. The matter, what I care about is how to strive for the greatest benefit in the upcoming turmoil of the court discussion. In his view, since sending troops is inevitable, there must be a certain exchange of interests, otherwise If so, it is a loss.

"This...to tell you the truth, sir, I still have to think about it, well, first find out who set it up, and then it's not too late to make a fuss about it."

Well, if you dare to say it for a long time, you will be wrong. Li Xian couldn't help being a little embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders, and answered with a wry smile.

"Ah."

Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. Zhang Jianzhi will not be unclear about this truth. Hearing that Li Xian is not blindly arrogant, he is very pleased, and he didn't press any more. He just let out a soft sigh, closed his eyes, and silently He was meditating deeply, and Li Xian didn't say any more. He walked back to the back of the copy and sat down. He also pondered quietly, and the study became quiet... "His Royal Highness, Mr. Zhuang is here."

Time passed minute by minute as the two monarchs and ministers were thinking silently. I don't know how long it had passed, but when they heard the sound of footsteps, Gao Miao hurried into the study and rushed to report.

"Xuan!"

As soon as he heard that Zhuang Yong had arrived, Li Xian's spirit immediately lifted, and without any nonsense, he waved his hand and gave the order.

"promise!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, Gao Miao dared not neglect to go, he hastily responded, and left the study in a hurry, after a while, he came back with Zhuang Yong who was dressed in green.

"This subordinate kowtows to His Royal Highness the Prince."

As soon as he saw Li Xian sitting high above him, Zhuang Yong hurriedly took a few steps forward, paying homage incessantly.

"Excuse me, how did Chief Zhuang find out?"

Li Xian never liked empty courtesy, and because he was concerned about the results of the investigation, he asked questions before Zhuang Yong finished his ceremony.

"Returning to Your Highness, according to investigations, in the past two days, there were as many as [-] people who went to see the empress, but Ming Chongyan was the only one who had a secret conversation. According to investigations, he had a secret conversation with the empress around noon today. For more than an hour, during this period, Princess Taiping briefly entered the study room of Deyang Palace. It is said that she was sending sweet cakes to the empress. As for what exactly Ming Chongyan and the empress talked about, it is still under investigation Know."

Zhuang Yong didn't know the purpose of Li Xian's order to investigate this matter, but he didn't dare to disobey it. Relying on his strong intelligence ability, he quickly found out the person who had the secret conversation. I was worried, so I came to report in person. Seeing that Li Xian was in such a hurry, I didn't dare to delay a little bit, and hurriedly reported the news I knew one by one.

"What? Ming Chongyan? How is this possible?"

When he heard that only Ming Chongyan had a secret meeting with Empress Wu, Li Xian was taken aback immediately, because Li Xian knew exactly how much Ming Chongyan was capable of. Here comes a sinister plan.
