Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 735 The King of Yue's Choice

The case of Caizhou is extremely complicated, involving the three major powers in the DPRK. It can be said that it is constantly being cut and reasoned. No matter who takes over the case, they will have to scratch their heads. There is no other reason. It's a tightrope walk among the three forces, if one is not careful, it will be a disaster. Even Liu Rengui, a veteran official who has experienced infinite turmoil, still feels powerless in the face of this situation, but to Li Xian, it is not worth it. It is very difficult, because the key to all matters lies in himself, and how to deal with this matter can only be determined by Li Xian letting go of his words.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. For such a trivial matter, Mr. Liu can just go to Caizhou. As for the matter of Dajiao Temple, Mr. Liu can just leave it to Liu Yizhi for interrogation."

Li Xian had a good idea in his heart, and he was very casual when he spoke from where he came from, but in this casualness, he showed strong self-confidence.

"Well, this is feasible, but the Caizhou case should go to trial?"

Liu Rengui is a veteran in the officialdom, even though Li Xian was just starting out, he already understood Li Xian's train of thought, and it wasn't very mysterious when he said it. This is in line with Liu Rengui's original intention, but he is still a little uncertain about how to deal with the Caizhou case, so he pondered Asked a question.

"Let's just maintain the original verdict. As for the officials involved in the case, how to impeach them can be done freely, and there is no need to worry too much."

With the passage of time, it is difficult to find out the truth about Cai Zhou's case, not to mention that Li Xian himself is the biggest black hand, so he would not hope for any breakthrough in this case, and maintaining the original judgment is undoubtedly the best choice.

"No, the old minister knows what to do."

What Liu Rengui was afraid of was that Li Xian wanted to use the Caizhou case to stir up trouble. Hearing that Li Xian had plans to settle the matter, he immediately felt relieved, so he didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly agreed. .

"That's good. It's not too late. There may be changes. Mr. Liu can deal with this matter this morning. My palace is waiting in Beijing for Mr. Liu's triumphant return."

What should be said has been said, and what should be explained has been explained clearly. Li Xian naturally does not intend to keep Liu Rengui, not because he does not want to get closer to him, but because he is worried that things will change. It's not easy to get along with the King of Yue. Li Xian can kill Gao Zhizhou, so the two of them won't play tricks on Liu Ren. Before the case is concluded, Li Xian doesn't intend to reveal the actual relationship between them.

"No, the old minister will leave."

Liu Rengui was also a sensible person, he knew that it was not the time to reveal the relationship between them, so he didn't say anything more, got up and saluted, and then left.

"how?"

As soon as Liu Rengui left, the wall behind Li Xian suddenly parted left and right, and slid away soundlessly. Zhang Jianzhi, who was sweating profusely, came out from inside, walked quickly to the opposite side of Li Xian, lifted the hem of his robe, After sitting down, Li Xian poured a bowl of tea for Zhang Jianzhi himself, and asked casually.

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

The secret room is stuffy and hot, poor Zhang Jianzhi is very thirsty at the moment, he has no intention of talking nonsense, and after saying a few words, he picks up the tea bowl and drinks a whole lot of cow, seeing the urgency, Li Xian couldn't help but Then he laughed.

"Your Highness, don't be too happy too early. Although Zheng Zhenggong is His Highness's powerful helper, but with this alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the empress and the King of Yue from joining forces, and His Highness will be worried."

Zhang Jianzhi was afraid that Li Xian would be overly complacent, and as soon as he put down the tea bowl, he unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on Li Xian, which immediately made Li Xian unable to laugh... Two flowers bloomed, each Biao Yizhi, not to mention how Li Xian and Zhang Jianzhi were discussing how to deal with the future situation, but said that in the study of the Yue Palace, Li Zhen was also discussing the current situation with Chen Wushuang and Pei Shoude, and the atmosphere in the room was quite depressing , There is a feeling of suffocation that is suffocating.

"Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this matter?"

Silence after silence, the more silent, the more depressed Li Zhen's mood. Chun is still deeply involved in the case now, God knows if Li Xian will exert his strength again, if Li Chun is really compensated again, the King of Yue's series will not only hurt their muscles and bones this time, but also their foundations. It's all going to be unstable, how can Li Zhen's mood get better, but being sullen is purely useless, and it doesn't help to solve the matter at all. No matter how bad Li Zhen's mood is, she can only cheer up. A signal for a meeting was sent.

"My lord, from my son-in-law's point of view, there shouldn't be much change in Caizhou. Maintaining the status quo is not only beneficial to us, but also beneficial to the crown prince, but we need to beware of any weirdness from the empress. , just in case, if we do more articles on the Dajiao Temple, even if we can't take down everyone in Qixia Mountain, at least we can make the empress unable to take care of Caizhou."

Although Li Zhen had already spoken, Chen Wushuang didn't intend to speak, but just kept his head down in thought. When Pei Shoude saw this, he feared that the atmosphere would be chilled, so he opened his mouth first, and made his calculation simple and authentic. out.

"Well, what does Wushuang think about this?"

Li Zhen didn't comment on Pei Shoude's suggestion, but her slightly frowned brow clearly showed that she wasn't too impressed with Pei Shoude's method.

"It's not necessary. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally do this. There is no need for me to wait any longer. If Chen's predictions are not bad, it must be Liu Rengui who will go to Caizhou, and Liu Yizhi will stay in Beijing to deal with the Dajiao Temple. For one thing, before the case of Caizhou is concluded, the matter of Dajiao Temple will definitely not be clarified, if we take part in it, it will not benefit the slightest except to offend the empress for nothing."

Chen Wushuang shook his head slightly, and refuted Pei Shoude's suggestion as worthless without showing any sympathy.

"Well, from Wushuang's point of view, what should I do alone?"

Li Zhen obviously agrees with Chen Wushuang's analysis very much. In his opinion, the matter has reached such a stage, the damage has been huge, and it is impossible to remedy it. No matter how much he thinks about it, it will not help. What really makes him feel uneasy is the way forward After that, whether to remain self-reliant, or to choose a side to rely on, and which side should be chosen as the object of use.

"Wait!"

Chen Wushuang answered quickly and simply, with only one word.

"Wait? How do you say this?"

Chen Wushuang's answer was obviously beyond Li Zhen's expectations, so she couldn't help being taken aback, looked at Chen Wushuang suspiciously, frowned, and hurriedly asked questions.

"My lord has learned that in this case, we have no strength to deal with. If we act blindly, not only will it be difficult to get anything, but we may be trapped even deeper. Just wait for the case to be concluded. Although the fourth son's relationship is inevitable, it will not There is a big punishment, at least the empress will not do anything to the fourth son, at most it is just a change of state to practice, and now there is no one in Xiangzhou, so it is better to let the fourth son go back to Xiangzhou."

As a wise man, Chen Wushuang naturally understood what Li Zhen really wanted to ask, but he did not rush to answer, but first explained the way to deal with Cai Zhou's case.

"So... that's okay, Chun'er's response this time is not bad. With him going back to Xiangzhou to watch, Gu can rest assured, but, um, it's just that the prince is so rampant, Gu can't help but react, if It's not appropriate to tell the subordinates to be cold, but I don't know what Wushuang can teach me?"

Even though she knew that her side was bound to suffer this time, Li Zhen was still very unwilling. Her heart was full of hatred for Li Xian, but she knew that she was powerless to resist Li Xian's strength for the time being. Under the circumstances, he could only ask Ji Yu Chen Wushuang in an extremely depressed manner, "Chen is still the answer—wait!"

Chen Wushuang looked up at Li Zhen, shook his head helplessly, and replied dryly.

"Brother Wushuang, it's not an option to just wait like this. You can't wait for the prince to beat me one by one?"

Pei Shoude's previous suggestion was refuted, and he couldn't hold back his face. Hearing what Chen Wushuang said, there was only one answer, and the dissatisfaction in his heart surged. He said a word.

"Then we can only wait!"

Chen Wushuang ignored Pei Shoude's unfriendly tone, shook his head, and pushed back with a resolute tone.

"This……"

Hearing Chen Wushuang's answer like this, Pei Shoude became anxious, opened his mouth, and wanted to criticize Chen Wushuang again.

"Wu Shuang, how to interpret the word 'waiting'?"

Since Li Zhen didn't want to start a dispute with his right and left arm, before Pei Shoude finished speaking, he interrupted from the sidelines.

"Returning to the prince, His Royal Highness is now in a great situation. It is not us who can resist it alone. Even the empress is afraid that His Royal Highness will be helpless. The current way, the only solution is to unite Wu to resist Wei. An opportunity, in the current chaotic situation, it is not time to join forces with the empress, if it is too early, firstly, we will not be able to show our strength, and secondly, we will not be able to easily win the trust of the empress. We have to find a time to send charcoal in the snow, so we can do things cheaply; moreover, the empress is afraid that she is sitting and waiting for the prince to take effect, so if she goes at this time, she will be underestimated, which is not good for the prince!"

Chen Wushuang ignored Pei Shoude's red face, bowed to Li Zhen, and analyzed the situation in detail.

"Well……"

Knowing that what Chen Wushuang said was right, but the unwillingness in Li Zhen's heart did not diminish much. Thinking of Gao Zhizhou's surrender, Li Zhen's heart tightened violently, and she pondered for a while, but did not do anything. After making a decision, Chen and Pei didn't dare to speak out to urge them, and the room fell into an eerie silence again.
