Chapter 97 The Art of Compromise 5

"If you have nothing to do, you can't talk to others!"

Li Hong has always regarded Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao as his trusted ministers, and there is no doubt that he has it. When he saw Wang Dequan there, he immediately pulled down his face and scolded him rudely.

"Ah, yes, when I returned to Your Highness, I just got reliable news. At noon today, His Royal Highness Lu arrived at the King's Mansion of Zhou. At the last three o'clock, the two Highnesses suddenly quarreled in the study and made a big scene. Soon after that, I saw His Royal Highness Lu riding back to the house with a blue face. It was reported that His Royal Highness Lu returned to the house, I was furious, and my words seemed to be scolding His Royal Highness the king of Zhou for his ambition. As soon as I got the news, I didn't dare to neglect it, so I rushed here. Please be clear. Seeing that Li Hong said so, Wang Dequan did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly came out the news from the inside line one by one, which made all the people in the room frown.

"Is this serious?"

Li Hong's face changed for a long time. He couldn't believe that it was true, so he asked meditously.

"It's true. I dare not lie to your Highness."

Wang Dequan answered affirmatively, and when he had to talk about it in detail, Li Hong was no longer interested in listening. With just a wave of his hand, he withdrew Wang De's full screen out of the room.

"Yan Gong, Liu Gong, why do you think this matter is very strange? I'm afraid there are some articles here. I don't know if the two Aiqing care about this?" After Wang Dequan retreated, Li Hong stood up from his seat, paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and asked uncertainly.

"It shouldn't stop. His Royal Highness King Lu is impatient. This river worker is his place, but now the Empress intends to let His Royal Highness the King of Zhou take charge of this matter. With the personality of His Royal Highness King Lu, it is inevitable to be unwilling. I'm afraid that his words will not be peaceful. They are all young and energetic, and it is inevitable to argue." Although Liu Xiangdao was slightly older than Yan Liben, his reaction was not slow at all. He took the lead in speaking, and his words seemed to disapprove of Li Hong's suspicion.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter is really a little strange. Although what Tongshou (Liu Xiangdao's word) said has some truth, in Yu Yan's opinion, it may not be just a conflict between words, or it may be an uneven division of the goods, but no matter what the reason is, this matter is an opportunity for Your Highness." Yan Liben obviously disagreed with Liu Xiangdao's opinion. He shook his head and gave a suggestion.

"Opportunity? Where does this start?

Li Hong is very smart by nature. In fact, he has a judgment in his heart for a long time, but it is still a little difficult to determine how to respond. At this time, when he saw that Yan Liben pointed out the key point, he had the intention to listen to Yan Liben's final judgment on this matter, so as to make a comparison with his own thoughts, so he hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness, no matter whether the two highnesses are really quarreling or fake, in the view of Weichen, it is a great thing for His Highness. There are three reasons: Although His Royal Highness Zhou is young and old, after all, he is still young. Even with the support of the empress, there is no possibility to get the difference of the river worker. Your Highness can follow To deal with it, this is one. Second, if the two kings are really noisy, it will be difficult for them to coexist with each other. Your Highness can focus on it and divide it. If it is fake, it doesn't matter. In terms of the strength of the two kings, no matter how to make the conspiracy, it is by no means the enemy of Your Highness. There is nothing to be afraid of it. Third, the river work is involved. Great, all over the departments of the court, if it falls into the hands of the two kings, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, this matter has to be done. Instead of letting the two kings control, it is better for your Highness to do it by yourself. When the empress supports this policy, stop it and cut off the thoughts of the two kings. Yan Liben is old and sophisticated. When he analyzes the situation, he is the head and the way. When he said something, he is really beautiful.

"Well, it's true. It's just that the mother supports the seventh brother. If the orphan forcibly reaches out his hand, not only the mother is not happy, and the seventh brother is afraid and difficult to forgive. If he pushes it to the sixth brother again, won't it add wings to the tiger?" Li Hongjiu has been in government affairs and knows that the matter of river work is a must. The reason why he strongly opposed it last morning is that he didn't want this matter to fall into Li Xian's hands. At this time, hearing that the two kings had a dispute, Li Hong had already taken the matter of the river work. What he was worried about was not the reaction of the Empress Wu, the biggest The concern is precisely because it is basically impossible to get the messenger Li Xian. The reason is very simple. After so many things, Li Hong has seen that Li Xian is not a thing in the pool, and he really doesn't want to offend him.

"Your Highness is extremely concerned that although His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is young, he acts quite methodically. It is not easy to get with. If you want to convince him, it is not a lot, but it may not be impossible to achieve it. Since Your Highness has this concern, why don't you set up a banquet for His Royal Highness the King of Zhou to talk about it? If it can be honest and openly, if not, you can also take the opportunity to explore it. It's not too late to deal with it later. Liu Xiangdao obviously agreed with Li Hong's opinion, which interrupted him.

"Yan Gong, what do you mean?"

Li Hong did not make a statement on Liu Xiangdao's words, but nodded slightly to him as a commendation, and then turned his eyes to Yan Li himself, who frowned bitterly, and asked thoughtfully.

"It's okay to try, but His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is careful. I'm afraid it's not so good. Well, if the price is not high, Your Highness might as well accept it first and talk about it later." Yan Liben had a fight with Li Xian in the court. He still knew something about Li Xian's ability to grasp the general situation, but he didn't think that Li Xian would be a flexible person. In Yan Liben's opinion, as long as he could hold the matter of river work in his hands, it would be okay to give Li Xian a little sweetness.

"Well, I'm going to send someone to invite the seventh brother to the palace. Whether it's successful or not, I'll finish my courtesy first." Hearing Yan Liben's words, Li Hong no longer hesitated, nodded, and made a flat decision...

"Your Highness, how can you quarrel with His Royal Highness Lu Wang, not to mention that he is a brother. Even if he doesn't, if he comes to our house, he is a guest. If your quarrel comes to the outside, there may be a villain chewing his tongue randomly. If the emperor blames him, how can he be born? Alas, Your Highness, why are you suffering... ..."

In the bedroom of the main courtyard of Zhou Wangfu, Li Xian, who had just finished lunch, lay comfortably on the couch, with his legs folded and casually playing with a jade fracture fan in his hand. It seemed to be very casual, but the bitter smile on his face was helpless. Just because Yanhong sat on the side of the couch, he was nagging relentlessly. "Tang Monk" is not bad at all. However, Li Xian has nothing to do with this younger sister-level figure. In addition to listening honestly, I really don't know what to say - the big quarrel with Li Xian was originally acting, in order to catch the big fish of the prince, on the other end of the prince. Before the reaction comes out, the inside story of the quarrel must be kept secret. Even if he is such a close person as Yan Hong, Li Xian does not dare to tell the truth. What he is afraid of is not that Yanhong will do anything against him. He is just worried that the wall has ears. Just because Li Xian is very clear that his house is not very clean, and the spies planted by all parties are not old and young. Under the overall situation, there is no need to keep some secrets. In this way, Li Xian can only accept Yan Hong's broken thoughts helplessly.

"Your Highness, the deputy chief of Xiande Hall, the prince, came and said that His Royal Highness had an order for you."

Just as Li Xian was full of helplessness, Gao Mio sneaked his head from outside the door. This time, he couldn't help smiling secretly when he saw Li Xianzheng with a distressed face. Unexpectedly, Li Qian was very sharp. As soon as he saw Gao Mi's smile at the corners of his mouth, he immediately stared at him rudely and scared Gao Mio. Excited, he hurried into the door, came to the bed, accompanied by a smiling face, and reported in a soft voice.

Ha, it's finally here. Hey, I don't know how sincere it is! The reason why Li Xian didn't take a lunch break as usual today is to wait for the reaction of the prince. Of course, Yanhong's burial is also a factor. At this time, Wang Dequan not only knew the prince's reaction, but also got rid of Yanhong's burial. Li Xian had a reason to be happy last time, and did not wait for Yanhong to rebel. In response, Li Xian jumped up and said, "Sister Yanhong, Xiao Wang picked up the order first, and then listen to Sister Yanhong's chatter." As soon as the words fell, the man ran away. He was so angry that his red mouths were up and stamped his feet hatefully at the door, but then he couldn't help laughing...

"See His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

Wang Dequan, who had been waiting for a long time in the second hall of the front yard, saw Li Xian turn out of the back hall and hurried forward, bowed deeply and bowed loudly.

"Eunuch Wang is polite, no gift, no gift, ha ha, Xiao Wang came a step late and asked my father-in-law to wait for a long time, Haihan, Haihan." Li Xian seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw Wang Dequan salute him, Li Xian politely greeted him with a smile.

"I dare not." Wang Dequan didn't dare to accept Li Xian's return. He hurriedly took a small step back and took out a big red invitation from his wide sleeves. He held it with his hands respectfully, raised it high above his head and reported loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness has an invitation here. Please have a look."

Huh? Invitation? It's so formal. Hey, what kind of play is this boy singing? Li Xian thought that the prince would ask him to chat in private, but he didn't expect that Li Hong even sent the invitation, which was completely a big fanfare. For a moment, he really had a lot of nagging in his heart, but there were not many questions at this time. Li Xian could only politely stretch out his hands, took the invitation in his hand, and turned over. When I opened it, I just looked at it. A trace of suspicion flashed across my face. My eyes turned slightly, and my heart was clear. Then I laughed and said, "Please also ask Grandpa Wang to tell the prince brother. He is that Xiao Wang is tired of martial arts and really dares not drink. Xiao Wang can only accept the kindness of the prince's brother. Rong Xiaowang will ask the prince to do it in the future. Let's be guilty." When Li Xian said this, he unquestionably raised his tone and said, "Gao Miao, send the prince-in-law for me." As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Wang Dequan time to react at all. Li Xian turned around and turned back to the back hall.

"Your Highness..."

Wang Dequan obviously didn't expect that Li Xian didn't give face to the prince so much. He was stunned. When he saw that Li Xian had come to the back of the hall, he couldn't help but be anxious. As soon as he opened his mouth and shouted, before he could say anything, he saw that Gao Mio had stopped him from the side. He waved his hand and gestured, "Prince, you Please!"

"Alas!"

When he was stopped by Gao Mi, Li Xian had already gone. No matter how unwilling Wang Dequan was, he had nothing to do. He could only shake his head and sigh. He went out of the hall with a bitter face and returned to the East Palace...
