Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 96 The Art of Compromise (4)

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Lu has arrived, and he has been waiting in the study for a long time."

Li Xian is not a person with a cleanliness habit, but he is quite particular about personal hygiene. In addition, he has made up his mind, and when he is relaxed and happy, taking a bath will be extra refreshing. After soaking in the bath for nearly half an hour, she changed her clothes under the service of the two big maids, Yan Hong and Cui Liu, and walked out of the bath with a stagger. After thinking about it again, he didn't expect that he had just walked out of the bathroom door, when he saw Gao Miao rushing over anxiously, and hurriedly reported.

Tsk, why is this guy so impatient, heh, it's really hard to change the nature of the world!Li Xian originally planned to go to Li Xian's place after taking a nap, but he didn't expect Li Xian to come to the door himself in such a hurry, he could not help but slander Li Xian in his heart, but his face was very calm, He just nodded casually and said, "Understood." Then, regardless of Gao Miao's reaction, he walked unhurriedly towards the study.

"Sixth brother, my little brother was washing and grooming just now, but I don't know that sixth brother is coming, so I'm not far away to welcome you, Haihan, Haihan."

As soon as Li Xian turned around the screen at the door of the study, he saw Li Xianzheng standing by the window sill, looking at the back garden motionlessly. Seeing the overwhelming sorrow and irritability, Li Xian couldn't help but secretly smiled, but he didn't stop for a moment, walked straight behind Li Xian, and greeted him affectionately.

"Seventh brother is here, sit down and talk."

Li Xian has been here for a long time, but I heard that Li Xian is washing up, so I don't want someone to rush me, but I didn't expect Li Xian to take such a long time in one bath, so that Li Xian couldn't help but wonder if it was Li Xian. Deliberately avoiding himself, the boss's impatience is about to reach the brink of a fit, but when Li Xian arrived, Li Xian calmed down again, and just looked down at Li Xian's loose wet hair , even if he waved his hands calmly, and said casually, he took the lead to go to the back of the table and took a seat. I don't know whether it was intentional or not paying attention. The place where Li Xian sat was the main seat. However, the one left for Li Xian became a guest seat.

Damn it, this guy will never forget to declare his sovereignty wherever he goes, that's enough!Li Xian's mind is very keen, and he can't fail to see that Li Xian's move was intentional. The left and right are just implying that Li Xian is the backbone of the alliance between the two kings, which made Li Xian's heart very tired. It's just that Li Xian didn't bother to bother with Li Xian about these insignificant trivial matters, so he smiled, walked to Li Xian's opposite and sat down, clapped his hands and said: " Come, serve tea!" As soon as these words came out, a group of servants rushed to offer freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then retreated one after another. In the huge study room, only the two brothers were left sitting opposite each other.

"Have you heard about the joint name of Liu Yizhi and others?"

Li Xian didn't hide his intention of coming, and after the servants retreated, he didn't touch the tea bowl in front of him, and asked directly.

"The younger brother just got the news before the sixth brother arrived, and the specific details are still unknown."

The matter about the Beimen Bachelor's Shangben has already spread rapidly in the officialdom of the capital, Li Xian has no need to hide the need to know about it, so he smiled and nodded in reply.

"What does the seventh brother think about this?"

Hearing Li Xian's frank admission that he had obtained the letter, Li Xian's eyelids twitched involuntarily, but he didn't express anything, he just asked calmly.

"Sixth Brother, don't you think that my younger brother would be so stupid as to accept the work of Hegong? Hey, at my young age, even if the emperor is willing, all the courtiers may not be willing. Besides, even if everyone agrees Yes, my little brother doesn't have that kind of thought either, let's not hide from Sixth Brother, my little brother can't even hide in time." How could Li Xian not know what Li Xian's intentions were in rushing here this time, and he didn't bother to make more detours on this matter, Then he laughed, and simply spread the matter out.

"Seventh brother misunderstood, being a brother doesn't mean that."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Li Xian's face blushed involuntarily, but he quickly returned to normal, he laughed and prevaricated.

that is not what I meant?That's weird, if you kid has no ghosts in your heart and ran here in a hurry to do something, could it be that you miss the food at our house?Cut, sample!For Li Xian's narrow-mindedness, Li Xian was really angry and funny. He despised Li Xian viciously in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said with a smile: "Sixth brother, the younger brother said No, the queen mother will not be idle, no, the action has come out, hehe, if the queen mother really wants to protect someone, then it should be the sixth brother, the reason why the younger brother is protected, what is her intention, so there is no need for the younger brother to waste words That's all."

"Well, what the seventh brother said is true, this matter is difficult, does the seventh brother have a way to deal with it?"

Li Xianren is very smart. The reason why he didn't think of the twists and turns here was just because he was in Lushan Mountain. At this time, when Li Xian mentioned it, he immediately came to his senses, but he knew where to go. Knowing exactly how to deal with the current difficult situation, Li Xian still lacked confidence. He pondered for a long time but failed to find a suitable method, so he had to push the problem to Li Xian.

"This matter is really tricky, and my brother only has a few rules, so I dare not say that it will be done."

Li Xian knew that the current situation was very complicated and involved a wide range of forces, almost all the forces in the court were involved, and it was even more difficult than Li Xian expected at the beginning—— In Li Xian's prediction at the beginning, Empress Wu would also make a move, but in Li Xian's mind, Empress Wu would at most push the flames from the sidelines. As soon as Li Xian did this, the situation would immediately become complicated. The identity that Li Xian originally planned to hold to mediate the conflict between the two elder brothers would be unsustainable. How should he get a relationship with the prince? Compromise that can be accepted has become the most disturbing thing for Li Xian at the moment. In fact, Li Xian, who was praised by Empress Wu, is really not suitable for private contact with the prince at such a sensitive time. In other words, Li Xian has not yet fully considered how to operate it.

"Seventh Brother, feel free to speak up if you have something to say, but if you and I join forces, there will be no obstacle that we cannot overcome!"

After going through so many tests, Li Xian has long been aware of Li Xian's strong calculating ability. Now seeing that the seriousness on Li Xian's face does not seem to be fake, he can't help but feel a little heavy in his heart. , hurriedly said something to cheer up.

"Brother Six is ​​right. Brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can cut through gold! If Brother Six can control the overall situation, why not worry about the big things not being done." Li Xian smiled and gave Li Xian a hand, and then turned the topic to the serious matter: " As for the current matter, the rest is easy to talk about, but right now neither you nor my brothers should go to see the Prince’s elder brother, so it may be a little difficult how to bridge this line.”

"What is this..."

Li Xian didn't comprehend the meaning of Li Xian's words at the beginning, and he wanted to refute with disapproval, but only halfway through the words, he suddenly understood the difficulty, and couldn't help being speechless for a while——Li Xian I am completely on the opposite side of the prince. It is impossible for him to go to the prince himself or send someone to find the prince. It is impossible for the prince to rest assured, let alone sit down to discuss a compromise. As for Li Xian, originally He is the most suitable candidate, but with Empress Wu's praise and killing, he is already on the cusp. His words, the crown prince can't believe it either. Besides, even if the crown prince is willing to believe it, Li Xian doesn't dare to It's easy to talk to the prince in detail, because Empress Wu has already made a move, so it's impossible not to stay behind. How could Li Xian dare to sign an alliance with the prince rashly when the situation is unknown?
"It's not easy to handle. Does the seventh brother have anything to worry about?" Li Xian thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't find a good way to get the best of both worlds. In desperation, he could only pin his hope on Li Xian. body.

"It's not that there is no way, it's just that you have to take some risks, and the sixth brother may have to suffer some grievances." Li Xian had already considered the matter beforehand, and he had a plan in mind, but this plan had to be coordinated by Li Xian Moreover, Li Xian was not completely sure about this plan in his heart, so he went around more circles with Li Xian in order to be able to persuade Li Xian smoothly. Xianzi knew that the master in front of him had nothing to do, his heart couldn't help but he said something in a pretense of embarrassment.

"Oh? What's the clever plan of the seventh brother? But it's okay. I can bear some grievances as a brother." Firstly, Li Xian really has nothing to do, but secondly, in front of Li Xian, he really doesn't want to lose his status as an elder brother. Therefore, even though he didn't know the extent of the grievance Li Xian said, he still fully agreed.

"Well, little brother, just say it. If you offend me, don't blame the sixth brother." Hearing Li Xian's statement, Li Xian didn't dare to neglect, stuck it to Li Xian's ear, and began to talk in a low voice. Hearing that Li Xian's face was constantly changing, and at the end, his face was full of unimaginable astonishment... This chapter of the Northern Gate Scholars is like a blockbuster, and it is not only the Li Xian brothers who were blown out of their heads. Two, the crown prince in the East Palace was caught off guard as well. The crown prince Li Hong, who had been prepared and planned to give the two younger brothers a heavy blow in the court hall, was completely out of control. Recruited a group of confidantes into the East Palace, and discussed behind closed doors for a long time, but the situation was complicated and difficult to understand, all the people were like looking at flowers in a fog, and they couldn't find a clue, the prince had no choice but to send everyone away Go, leaving only the two important ministers Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao, contemplating the dynamics of all parties, trying to find the best countermeasure for the contingency, when they were discussing themselves chaotically, they saw Wang Dequan, the deputy director of the Xiande Palace, hastily left Barging in from outside the study, Li Hong, who was extremely upset, immediately frowned in displeasure.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Li Hong was annoyed in his heart, and there was 12 points of impatience in his tone.

"Your Highness, something has happened."

Seeing Li Hong's displeasure, Wang Dequan didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly replied, his tone was filled with excitement, but his eyes glanced back and forth at the two ministers, Yan and Liu, in a daze. After explaining exactly what happened, Li Hong's frown became even tighter when he saw it...
