Chapter 245 You have no choice in this transaction

The midsummer night always comes late, and it is the end of the day, but the sky is still not completely dark. Especially a little bright light ripples in the sky, but the brightness is extremely low, which is not enough for lighting. It is almost time to hold the lamp. The lights in Manying's mansion have lit one after another, only Li Xian's study is still dark - it's not that the subordinates are lazy and don't hold the lamp, but that Li Xian refuses the hospitality of the subordinates, sits alone in the dark, silently deduces various changes in the situation, and is also waiting for the arrival of the prince Li Hong!

The prince will definitely come. Li Xian is fully sure about this. As for when he will arrive, it's hard to say. However, even if the prince doesn't come today, Li Xian is not very worried. Just because he has the initiative now, Li Xian is not afraid that the prince will not give in. At worst, he will slaughter it fiercely when the matter is critical. There is nothing wrong with the prince's knife. Of course, at that time, the price will be much higher than now. In Li Xian's view, with the prince's shrewd nature, he will not see this, so there is no doubt that the prince will come today!

"Your Highness, Your Highness has arrived."

Just as Li Xian was meditating, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the dark. As soon as Li Xian heard it, he knew that it was Gao Miao. He immediately raised his head. In his eyes, he saw Gao Miao flashing out from behind the screen. In a few steps, he rushed to Li Xian's body and bowed and reported with a trill.

"Well, I won't welcome you. Just bring it here."

Needless to ask, Li Xian knew that the prince must be sneaking when he came at this time, and he didn't want to stir up the crowd to welcome him, so he had no help but casually ordered.

"Yes, the maidservant obeys."

Gao Mi got Li Xian's secret order early in the morning and squatted at the porter to wait for the arrival of the prince. He didn't understand how Li Xian calculated this point, but he didn't dare to ask too much. At this time, as soon as he heard Li Xian's instructions, he didn't dare to neglect it a little. He hurriedly answered, and hurried to the door.

"But is it the seventh brother?"

Not long after Gao Mio left, Li Hong walked slowly into the study and saw a majestic figure sitting in the dark, but he couldn't see his face clearly. He was suspicious in his heart, so he hesitated to ask.

"It's my brother. Since the prince is here, please sit down."

As soon as Li Hong's voice fell, Li Xian, who was sitting, stood up, smiled and sent out an invitation.

"Why didn't the seventh brother light the lamp? Is it that you are short of gas money?"

Li Hong heard Li Xian's voice, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved. He walked to the front without restraint, brushed his sleeves, sat opposite Li Xian, and joked with a smile.

"The dark thing should be done in the dark. Doesn't the prince understand?"

Li Xianyi replied respectfully when he was dealing with Li Hong in the past. He replied with no emotion. At that time, he put Li Hong on the wall, and there was something on his face that could not be hung. Fortunately, it was extremely dark at this time, and there was no sign of being ugly.

"Oh? Hahaha... The seventh brother is really unreasonable. He has been taught for his brother.

Li Hong obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would speak so clearly as soon as he met. He couldn't help but be stunned. He laughed loudly and covered up his embarrassment with laughter.

"The prince is too modest. Isn't that why you came here in casual clothes?"

Li Xian's way of negotiation is that he does not intend to give the prince a chance to take a breath. He will not let go to the end. It is clear that he wants to eat Li Hong's posture.

"Haha, okay, it's refreshing! Since the seventh brother said so, it's pretentious to deny it again for my brother. Yes, it's better to negotiate with the seventh brother. After all, it's a matter of two interests. It's okay for you and my brothers to take what they need.

After all, Li Hong is not an ordinary person. Since he is unwilling to negotiate, he has been overwhelmed by Li Xian before he starts. He laughed and put on the posture of opening the skylight to speak up.

"It's the best. Does the prince's brother need it? Hey, there is no shortage here, and it's not difficult to change it. It depends on whether the prince's brother is willing to give up."

Li Hong smiled happily, but Li Xian was still serious. He had no intention of dancing with Li Hong at all and replied aggressively.

"It's just a lot of money in the end. Since the seventh brother says so, he has to put some chips out. Otherwise, how can he choose to be called a brother?"

Since Li Hong dared to come here in casual clothes this time, he was ready to be slaughtered. He was psychologically prepared for Li Xian's aggressiveness. He did not lose his mentality because of this, and replied calmly.

"Rap? Well, the prince's chips can be done by the prince's brother. Is the prince's brother satisfied with this chip? Li Xian smiled confidently and gave a clear answer.

"Oh? Is the seventh brother serious about this? As far as I know, my mother has only given a five-day deadline. This matter must be said and laughed at. If there is any deviation, it will be a big problem!" Li Hong is obviously not as optimistic as Li Xian. In fact, when he came here, Li Hong did not have the idea of winning a big victory. He just wanted to gain some public opinion advantages for the time being, so as to lay a good foundation for the next general attack. At this time, when he heard Li Xian say so affirmation, he couldn't help but He was stunned, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and hurriedly asked.

"Queen Mother? Ha, if it is really done according to the mother's wishes, can the prince's brother afford it? Since I dare to give the price, I am naturally sure of it. It depends on whether the prince dares to gamble. Li Xian smiled coldly and sarcastically sarcastically at Li Hong.

"Okay, since the seventh brother dares to gamble, why don't you dare for your brother? At worst, just give up your whole body. After saying that, what do you want to do for your brother?" As soon as he heard that Li Xian's words vaguely mentioned the promise of Queen Wu, Li Hong's heart tightened, and his face changed a few times. He gritted his teeth, pretended to be a deputy decision, and replied boldly.

"I don't want much. Together with this disturbance, there will be many people who will leave the court. I should always choose some sages who can serve. I think that Sima Wei Weiwei in Luzhou can be appointed as the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice; Sima Liu Chi in Jiangzhou can be appointed to the matter; Lin Qi, the governor of Qinghe County, should be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple... Luo Binwang, the imperial historian, dares to tell him, and it seems that he is the prime minister of the imperial history. It's right; Di Renjie of Dali Temple is like a god. It's more than enough to be a young minister of Dali Temple. It seems that such a virtuous person should be a useful person. I don't know if the prince's brother thinks so? Since it was an offer, Li Xian would not be polite at all. He endlessly reported a series of names, which made Li Hong's eyes go wild.

"The seventh brother is easy to calculate. What if I can't do it?"

The price offered by Li Xian is really too high. Not only will the Lu Wang Party, who were driven out of the court by Li Hong after all his efforts, have all been brought back to the court, but also promoted. Counting the officials promoted by Li Xian himself, the power of the two kings of Lu and Ying can expand to the extent of the left and right court in an instant, and this is obviously not Li Hong is happy to see the results.

"Can't do it? Hey, this is a deal. You have no choice!"

Li Xian sneered and responded extremely rudely.

"You..."

Li Xian's words were really too unpleasant. Although Li Hong was calm by nature, he couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly straightened up and wanted to open his mouth and scold his mother angrily. However, the words reached his mouth, but he stopped depressedly, just because what Li Xian said was the truth. At this moment, Li Hong really didn't have too many choices-- If you don't agree to Li Xian's request, if Li Xian secretly does something to completely cheat Li Hong and is knocked down by the Empress Wu, it will be a big deal. It's hard to say whether the crown prince's position can be preserved or not.

"There is another one thing. The Mingchun is coming. My brother thinks that this is a social matter, and the master's examination should be a virtuous person. The sixth brother has a lot of experience in rectifying the study and politics. The sixth brother is the main examination, which is what the public expects for. I don't think the prince will oppose it?"

Li Xian ignored Li Hong's anger at all and went down to say.

"Wow..." Li Hong was shivered by Li Xian's attitude, but his lifeline is now in Li Xian's hands, and he can't be angry. After a long silence, he raised his head and grew a mouthful of atmosphere. He meditated and said, "I remember what the seventh brother said, but things are urgent. After all, he can't do it in a hurry. There must be one first. Let's do it."

"The prince brother is wise, and the appointment and removal of the officials can be postponed later, but the big thing can't be delayed. Next time in the morning, I hope that the prince can strongly recommend this matter first. As for other matters, please don't worry, the prince knows it." Li Xian didn't say anything politely when he proposed the conditions. He stretched out his hand when it was time to reach out, but he didn't make things happen, giving the prince a buffer.

"In this case, let's think about one or two, and it can be done in another day?"

Li Hong was determined to defeat the party of the Empress Wu in one fell swoop, but he did not want to face the situation of driving tigers in the front door and entering the wolf in the back door. He refused to agree easily to Li Xian's lion, so he replied medently.

"It's true that the prince's brother is gone, and the minister won't see him off."

Li Xian's posture was extremely high, and he settled on Li Hong's condition. It seemed that he didn't care about Li Hong's choice at all, and indifferently issued an eviction order.

"Aren't the seventh brother not afraid to be fat for his brother's promise?"

Li Hong was really angry with Li Xian's attitude, so he gritted his teeth and said a harsh sentence gloomyly.

"The prince has this freedom, and naturally he also has the freedom to choose."

Li Xian rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders carelessly, and a straightforward word over. The truth is very simple. Even if the party of the queen of martial arts is defeated, only the queen of the martial arts is still there, and in the end, there is still a chance to make a comeback, and this time may not be very long. At this time, if the prince eats his promise and fat, the next time is big When the conflict breaks out, I'm afraid that no one dares to help him. Not only will he not help, but he has to fall into the well. This consequence is not what Li Hong can afford.

"Okay, good, hey, the seventh brother, let's say goodbye to my brother."

Seeing that Li Xian's nerves could not be stimulated, Li Hong didn't want to waste more words. With a gloomy smile, he stood up, brushed his sleeves, and went out of the door...
