Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 65 Hangu Pass Night Talk (3)

Li Xian is no stranger to water transportation. In fact, in his previous life, when he ascended the throne for the second time, he spent countless efforts to rectify the water transportation. As for the method, it is not too different from what Li Xian said However, after five years of painstaking management, there was not much effect, and the huge cost was really scary. As for later generations, when they were in the officialdom, because of work, Li Xian often consulted the water transportation strategies of the past dynasties. It is a theoretical "Water Transportation", but even so, Li Xian dare not say that he can manage the water transportation well in three years, let alone Li Xian, who is obviously inexperienced, as far as Li Xian's ability is concerned. Let alone three years, even ten years may not be successful. How can there be so much time for Li Xian to squander under such a strange situation.

"Sixth brother, great talent, I can trust your words, but..." Li Xian knew that Li Xian was bragging, but Li Xian couldn't point it out in person. Half words.

"It's just what, if you have any opinions, please tell me straight up, brother. I can't bear to guess riddles." Li Xian confidently put forward the plan to rectify the water transportation. It's time to bow down to the ground, but I didn't expect that Li Xian had been euphemistically opposing his grand plan all the time, so he got a little angry, put on a straight face, and said unceremoniously.

"Sixth brother, three years is a thousand days. As the saying goes, only a thousand days can be a thief, so there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against thieves. It is a good thing that sixth brother is diligent in government affairs. Will others sit and watch? If there is a change, when How so?" Li Xian didn't want to tear himself apart with Li Xian, so he planned to ask the question himself, so he could only redirect the question to the prince's possible reaction, so he raised a question cryptically.

"Does he dare? This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. I don't believe he dares to go crazy, hum!" Although Li Xian said it in a cryptic manner, Li Xian is not a fool. It was Prince Li Hong, who immediately became angry, slapped a few times suddenly, jumped up, and yelled almost at a loud voice, and his handsome face was twisted into a hideous look.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

The uproar caused by Li Xian was really too loud. Gao Miao and Zhang Che, who were waiting outside the door, rushed into the room with the guards from their respective mansions. At the same time, he asked aloud.

"Get out, get out!"

Li Xianzheng was furious, he couldn't allow everyone to get in the way, he waved his hand angrily, and scolded angrily, the two young eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they had to rush out of the room with their own subordinates. .

"If you walk upright and sit upright, you won't be afraid of that villain messing around. Hmph, it's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Li Xian paced back and forth in the room angrily, muttering relentlessly, seemingly Righteous and strong, in fact, he has already expressed obvious worry. Originally, he, Li Xian, and the crown prince are not on good terms. The two sides are life-and-death competitors. As far as Fan is concerned, it is not just the prince's hand. If the matter of the water transportation is prosperous this time, Li Xian is bound to increase in strength. , the fun will be great.

Heh, this kid recognized it in his heart, his mouth was still stiff, he was really a cooked duck!Seeing Li Xian babbling there, Li Xian secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was calm, he didn't open his mouth to argue, he just sat upright and let Li Xian vent.

"Does the seventh brother have any good strategies for this?" Li Xian made a fuss for a while, seeing that Li Xian didn't respond, he couldn't help feeling bored, and sat back in his seat resentfully. asked.

Okay, stop making noise?That's right.Seeing that Li Xian had calmed down, Li Xian immediately smiled and said, "Sixth brother, as the saying goes: things have priorities. In my opinion, the top priority of sixth brother is to stand in the court and get a name for quick results. As for the matter of water transportation Well, let’s put it off for now, even if it must be done, after this chapter, someone will rush to do it, and you and my brother can watch the fun.”

"Well, this..." As soon as Li Xian heard that Li Xian was going to hand over the matter of water transportation to the prince, he immediately became angry and glared at Li Xian. When he was about to get mad, he suddenly stopped, his eyes rolled wildly Woke up, after being silent for a while, suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Well, you seventh brother, you can do such a thing, well, well, very good!"

Well, it's a natural thing. Once this chapter is up, the prince will definitely be worried that Li Xian will sit on the throne, and it is inevitable to take action to intercept it. If Li Xian comes here quietly, he will use his tricks and leave the matter of water transportation to the prince. If it is done well, it is Li Xian's idea. If it is not done well, it means that the crown prince is not doing well. In this way, if he has credit, Li Xian is the first one. Is there any fault? , I'm sorry, you, Li Hong, can carry it on your own. After such a calculation, it is really beneficial and harmless. Li Xian has no reason not to be excited.

"Sixth brother thinks it's good." The water transportation is related to the safety of the country, and Li Xian can't just let it go. Once the prince really takes over, even if the prince doesn't ask, the idea that should come out is Li Xian. When the time is right, we have to do some more. In short, we can't let this matter go to waste, but we are not in a hurry. Of course, there is no need to tell Li Xian at this time, so he smiled lightly and casually agreed, Directly changed the subject: "Sixth brother, in my opinion, the water transportation booklet is very good, but it is difficult to see results in a short period of time. There is not much praise for sixth brother to enter the imperial court. The younger brother is not talented. I have thought about a few strategies in private, maybe it will be useful to Sixth Brother."

"Oh? Seventh Brother, come and tell me what's the best strategy." After so many troubles, Li Xian was convinced of Li Xian's ability. Although Li Xian was talking about random strategies, Li Xian didn't dare Looking at it blindly, he was only a little stunned, and immediately rushed to ask questions.

"Brother Six, I have a question and I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Li Xian was not in a hurry to speak out about his strategy, but instead asked with a slightly hesitant look on his face.

"What did the seventh brother say, you and I are one body, there are no questions you can't ask, but it's okay." Seeing Li Xian's strange question, Li Xian couldn't help showing a trace of suspicion, and glanced at Li Xian. Seeing Li Xian's serious face, he didn't look like he was joking, so he answered with a straight face.

"Well, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, brother six, who does the current Guanlong family care about? If brother six fights with that person, who will win?" Li Xian arched his hands to express his apology, but he asked out of his mouth The words were not so pleasing to the ears, at least for Li Xian, this question was really harsh, and his complexion instantly sank when he heard it, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, as if anger burst out in his heart.

"Seventh brother asked a good question. In terms of talent, although Gu thinks he is not inferior to others, but, alas, due to the situation, in terms of effort among the aristocratic families, Gu is indeed inferior to that fellow." Li Xian's chest heaved fiercely a few times. After all, I still resisted the urge to go crazy, and replied with a dark face.

"Sixth brother said it well, the situation is what it is, it has nothing to do with hard work, the actual position is limited, it is better than the struggle, of course, but there is only one road in the world, this road is blocked, it's better to take the other road, the younger brother is in trouble There is a strategy, and it may work." Li Xian smiled confidently and said.

"Really?" Over the years, Li Xian has often secretly wooed officials from big families from the Guanlong lineage, but unfortunately the results were minimal. Those who managed to win over were nothing more than stragglers. Compared to Li Xian who had not yet started It's a lot stronger, but compared to the prince, it's far worse than the old nose. I worry about it every day, but unfortunately I can't find a way to deal with it. Li Xian actually has another skill , since he became interested, he hurriedly asked questions.

"Look at Sixth Brother's question, does my younger brother seem like a liar?" Li Xian was still not in a hurry to say, and said with a slap in the face.

"Seventh brother misunderstood, being a brother doesn't mean that. Alas, this matter is so important that we must not joke about it. Just say it." Li Xian felt itchy and out of breath by Li Xian's tantalizing behavior. He gave Li Xian a serious look, and hurriedly urged him.

"Sixth brother, don't worry, little brother just say it." After Li Xian's appetite had been whetted, Li Xian laughed and said, "I have lived through three dynasties since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The style of martial arts is not declining, and the style of writing is becoming more and more prosperous. There are many aspiring scholars, all of whom are determined to serve the country, and leftover pearls are everywhere. However, the policy of selecting scholars in our dynasty has not changed for many years. There are only a few dozen, and all of them are gray-headed. Are the folks really ignorant? Miao! If there is no change, it is a trivial matter for many aspiring people to serve the country and have nowhere to go. !"

"Huh?" Li Xian couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard Li Xian's long speech—Li Xian is smart, so he will not fail to see the changes in the government and the opposition, and he will not be unaware of Li Xian's proposed reform of the imperial examination The intention is nothing more than to ask him Li Xian to draw materials from poor scholars, so as to obtain a possible opportunity to fight against Li Hong. In Li Xian's view, this road is not unfeasible from a rational point of view. It's just not so easy to go, without him, as long as Li Xian dares to make such a suggestion in court, he will definitely offend the Guanlong family deeply. After all, if there are too many poor families in the court, it will definitely infringe on the interests of the rich and powerful children to become officials. , the risks involved are not low. In other words, it is one thing whether this road will work or not, but it is another matter whether the huge price to be paid is worth it. I have to consider the pros and cons and the trade-offs. After thinking about it, I become dull, and my brows are locked into a capital "Chuan".
