Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 95 The Art of Compromise (3)

As soon as Li Xian's River Works book was published, the government and the public were shaken. For several days, there has been a lot of heated discussions in the capital. Generally speaking, there are few supporters and many opponents, especially the wine department mentioned in Li Xian's book. The idea of ​​the chariot and horse license has aroused criticism. Under the secret impetus of people with good intentions, the criticism of Li Xian has become more and more intense. I don’t know how many courtiers have secretly prepared the chapter of impeachment, and they are waiting for the next chapter. Once in the early morning, the crowd rose up to attack.

Up to now, the general situation of the court is extremely unfavorable to Li Xian and Li Xian, but the two brothers seem to be unaware of the impending disaster and ignore it ——Li Xian used the excuse of studying and closing the door to thank guests. Not only did he not see outsiders, he even didn't see his own confidantes. As for Li Xian, as usual, he ignored everything except martial arts. They came to meet them all, but they never mentioned the news of He Gong's surname. Those who came with the intention of inquiring about the news all returned disappointed, because they didn't see anyone who could get the slightest letter from Li Xian.

casual?Don't care?Of course it’s impossible, among other things, Li Xian’s so-called reading behind closed doors is actually just because he is afraid that outsiders will see his anxious state, so he has to close the door and hide. In the past, in fact, the torment in his heart was no lower than that of Li Xian in person—He Gong Zhezi was the first and most important step for Li Xian and his brothers to step into court. Afterwards, we will have to live a long period of hard life. Before all the adverse effects dissipate, the two brothers will be unable to do anything, and this time may take two or three years. Obviously, no matter what Neither Li Xian nor Li Xian can afford this time, so it is impossible not to get angry, but Li Xian is very clear that this is not the time to act blindly, and the best choice is to stand firm, even if the torment of waiting Li Xian had reason to believe that things would turn around soon, but the only thing he was not sure about was when the turning point would come.

"Stop, Your Highness, the last general has said it many times, the spear should go away like an arrow and return like a thread, if you use your spear like your highness, once you go into battle, you will never be able to withstand a single shot from your opponent. Be careful, the last general will do it again .”

Li Xian's heart was very anxious because of the Hegong Zhezi, although on the surface everything was normal, but in fact it was not the case, and he couldn't see anything in his spare time, but when he came to the martial arts arena, there was a strange feeling under his hands At this point, a set of basic spear skills with long spears is about to come down, the force is either too strong or too small, and the connection between moves is full of flaws. Li Boyao, who came to teach him, frowned. Not going on anymore, Li Boyao had to stop, and showed Li Xianfan himself, but seeing Li Boyao's guns firing like lightning, holding the gun like a dragon playing in the water, withdrawing the guns to shake the mountains, it is really majestic Incomparable.

"Have you seen everything clearly?" Li Boyao walked down with a gun, not blushing, not panting, put away the gun and stood up, looked at Li Xian expressionlessly, and asked indifferently.

"Yes, Xiao Wang knew he was wrong."

Although Li Xian had something in his heart, he was still deeply attracted by Li Boyao's marksmanship, took a deep breath, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, let's do it again!"

After contacting Li Xian for more than a year, Li Boyao has seen all of Li Xian's talent for practicing martial arts and perseverance. The disciple read it, and apart from "The Art of War of the Duke of Wei", all the abilities in the body have been taught, and the requirements for Li Xian are naturally extraordinarily strict. He gave a light command.

"Yes, Xiao Wang obeys!"

Li Xian promised loudly, then shook his head fiercely, drove away all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and carefully leveled the long spear he was holding upright, ready to go, before the gun was fired, the spear intent was already there It's full of excitement, when Yue Zhiyuan's aura comes out, he already has the demeanor of everyone, the only difference is the proficiency of the moves, Li Boyao secretly sighed - the so-called "year-old sword, moon-stick, and lifetime-long spear" It is said that marksmanship is easy to learn but hard to master, and most of the meaning of this "fineness" lies in the development of aura. Only with energy and spirit, can it be possible to become a master of spears. Ordinary people may practice for a lifetime Even Li Boyao himself could not develop momentum even after learning spears for several years. This is already considered a talent, but Li Xian is lucky. He has developed an aura, although he is still immature, but after all, he has become a climate. This kind of monster-like talent really makes Li Boyao sigh with emotion, but also deeply regrets. He often thinks that if Li Xian is not a child of the Tian family, he is really a The best descendant of Duke Wei's lineage.

The guns of this era are not the red-tasseled guns that are often seen in later generations of film and television programs, but lances that are shorter than spears, about ten feet long, and the tip of the gun is not conical, but slender like a blade. It's just three points thicker than the blade. If you really want to use an analogy, it may be more like the Zhangba Snake Spear used by Zhang Fei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Even if it is made of wooden handle, it is nearly thirty With the heavy weight of the gun and the slender body of the gun, even simply controlling the center of gravity is not an easy task, let alone dancing out moves, which is obviously not considered for Li Xian, who has been working hard for more than a year. It's too big of a problem, once the gun is fired, there will be loud noises, and the guns will explode with murderous aura. Although the moves are still immature, their majesty has already begun to show.

"it is good!"

"Your Highness is mighty!"

When Li Xian is concentrated, the spear will naturally become much more beautiful. Although it is only a basic spear technique, after a routine, it is really true that people are like tigers, and spears are like dragons. Xiao Qian, Ling Zhong and other royal guards are all People who know the goods, naturally they all applauded, even Li Boyao, who is serious and unsmiling, secretly nodded.

"Your Highness, there is news."

Li Xian had just put away his gun and stood up, before he had time to catch his breath, Gao Miao had already approached him with a wet towel, and while he was handing Li Xian a towel, he whispered the report.

Huh... It's finally time to start!Although Gao Miao didn't say what the news was, Li Xian knew the meaning of the news by looking at his face, and he couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief. After questioning, he just chuckled, picked up a towel and wiped his face indiscriminately, walked up to Li Boyao with his gun in hand, bowed and said, "Xiao Wang has finished performing the gun show, please give me some advice from the general."

"Study "Overlord Spear" in three days."

Li Boyao looked at Li Xian with complicated eyes, and after a long silence, he left the small school grounds without saying a word.

Overlord gun?Ha, cool!Li Xian has practiced martial arts for more than a year, and he has collected a lot of information about martial arts when he has nothing to do on weekdays. He knows that this "Overlord Spear" is rumored to be inherited from a generation of unrivaled hero Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. But it is an indisputable fact that it was Li Jing and Yang Wei's spear skills back then. Li Xian wanted to learn it a long time ago, but it was just not convenient. But I still couldn't help but let out a strange cry, and the excitement was beyond words.

"Your Highness..."

Li Xian was very excited, but Gao Miao was worried. Seeing Li Xian was so busy with excitement, he completely forgot about the business, and his thoughts became a bit more serious. Unfortunately, there are so many people here, so it is not a good place to talk about secrets. In desperation, he had no choice but to call out in a low voice, as a reminder to Li Xian.

"Ah."

Gao Miao was in a hurry, but Li Xian was not in a hurry, he said calmly, and casually threw the spear in Ling Zhong's hand, and walked towards the palace with ease, Gao Miao saw this, hurriedly followed Behind Li Xian, he walked all the way to the study without a word.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that more than a dozen ministers including Liu Yizhi and Zhou Simao have jointly signed this chapter, recommending your Highness to preside over the overall situation of the river project. This..." Gao Miao couldn't hold back the moment he entered the study. He hurried to Li Xian's side and reported the report full of worry.

uh-huh?Good guy, you really played with me, it's amazing!Although Li Xian had expected this situation long ago, when he first heard this, his heart sank, but he didn't care too much about it. This was nothing more than a plan to kill three birds with one stone, and to put it bluntly, there was nothing mysterious about it—— Standing behind Liu, Zhou and others is Empress Wu. This so-called joint name preservation is naturally ordered by Empress Wu, and there are three strange things in it. First, it shows that Empress Wu agrees with the river project. Second, what? Throwing such a fat piece of river management work in front of the three princes, let the three brothers fight over it, how can it make the already chaotic court situation even more chaotic, and create opportunities for them to come forward to manage politics. As for the third, then It is to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between Li Xian and Li Xian. Obviously, the alliance between the two kings has attracted the attention of Empress Wu, and they must destroy it quickly.

Empress Wu's move was indeed extremely beautiful, but unfortunately for Li Xian, it was useless. The reason is very simple. If Li Xian's purpose this time was to deal with Hegong, Empress Wu's move would definitely work wonders, and the resulting The trouble was definitely not small. The problem was that Li Xian had no intention of taking the river project into his arms at all. In fact, the river project was just a plank road built by Ming, and the imperial examination was what Li Xian wanted. In this sense, Empress Wu's so-called clever move is just a bad move. Not only will it fail Li Xian, but it will become a stepping stone for Li Xian to realize his planned plan. There are a lot of variables, and it is not the time to be lucky, and everything is still uncertain.

"Your Highness, look at this..."

Although Gao Miao did not have Li Xian's ability to grasp the essence through phenomena, but he also vaguely sensed that Liu, Zhou and others' melodies had malicious intentions. Seeing that Li Xian hadn't responded for a long time, he couldn't help feeling anxious Get up and call out cautiously.

"It's okay, I'll talk about it after I take a bath and change clothes."

In a short period of time, Li Xian had already sorted out all the clues, and he already had a plan in his mind, so he didn't worry too much. It's just that this matter is so important that Li Xian would not explain it to Gao Miao, so he laughed , regardless of Gao Miao's reaction, he strode towards the bathroom...
