Chapter 98 The Art of Compromise 6

"Well, what are you talking about? He won't come?"

In the study of the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, as soon as Li Hong, the prince sitting behind several children, heard Wang Dequan's reply, his face immediately fell down and said in a bad tone.

"Yes, if you go back to Your Highness, the maidservant is incompetent and can't invite His Royal Highness the King of Zhou to the banquet."

Wang Dequan followed the prince for a long time. He knew that Li Hong was generally a gentle person, but once he got angry, it was as fierce as a bolt from the blue. At this time, as soon as he saw Li Hong's wrong look, he suddenly panicked and couldn't care much. He hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and hurried to explain. He said.

"Humph!"

Li Hong snorted coldly, and his pale face was furious, but he still didn't lose his temper. He just waved his hand tiredly and motioned Wang Dequan to retreat, but he stood up anxiously and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, which barely suppressed his anger, and then He turned his eyes to Yan Liben and Liu Xiangdao, who were standing aside, and asked, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Liu, is that boy really going to take over the messenger of the river?"

Li Hong was obviously really angry. He lost the gentleness of the past in his words, and even the less elegant words such as "Kid" came out of his mouth. In view of this, Yan and Liu did not dare to comment on this matter at will. After looking at each other at each other, they frowned and thought tly. As for whether they are really thinking about this matter seriously, only they know it in their hearts.

"What? Don't you two Aiqing see anything about this?

The matter of river work has been involved, and it is difficult for Li Hongshi to have a normal heart. At this time, the two confidants did not say a word for a long time. The irritability in his heart could no longer be suppressed. With a gloomy face, he said angrily.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou may not really want to hold the river worker. The reason why he refuses to be summoned may be a desperate plan." Although Yan and Liu didn't want to say much about this matter, they were forced to the corner by Li Hong's question. If they didn't answer, it would be impossible. In desperation, Yan Liben had to stand up bravely and answered with a slight hesitation.

"If you want to get it, you have to indulge in it? What's the interpretation of this?"

Li Hong's heart was obviously a little confused. For a moment, he didn't want to think about the subtexts in Yan Li's words and asked directly.

"Your Highness, according to the old minister, this move of the King of Zhou may be a small trick for buyers and sellers to bargain. The matter of river work is so important. Is it what His Royal Highness Zhou and other fledglings can afford? From the analysis of the situation, even if there is the intervention of the empress, it is impossible to fall into his hands. Those who really have the ability to take down the river work, there is no one else except His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness Lu. I think His Royal Highness the King of Zhou must know this. However, because of the recommendation of the Queen, the position of His Royal Highness the King of Zhou now seems to be extremely critical. Which side he prefers, which side has a greater chance of winning, which is to wait for the price. The reason why he clashed with His Royal Highness Lu and refused His Royal Highness's invitation was that it was nothing to say. Seeing that Li Hong could not think calmly, although Yan Liben was unwilling, he had to try his best to explain the reason in detail.

"Well, so that's it. It's really a pity that the seventh brother didn't become a businessman. Well, he didn't want to come, so he went by himself." Li Hong is intelligent by nature. Previously, he was confused. At this time, when he heard that Yan Liben's analysis was reasonable, his irritable heart immediately calmed down a lot, and he was even in the mood to sneer at Li Xian.

"Your Highness, you don't have to go in person. Send someone to invite you again. Your Highness the King of Zhou will come!"

The prince is the lord of half a king, and he can't easily leave the East Palace. At this time, the situation is complicated, and it is not easy to move easily. Yan and Liu are both old and important people. They dare not let Li Hong act so nonsense. They looked at each other and almost persuaded with one voice.

"Well, it's better to send someone to go there again." After thinking about it, Li Hong also felt that as a prince, he was really not suitable to appear in the king's mansion of Zhou when he waited for **. Don't say that it was not suitable to go in casual clothes, so he was no longer stubborn. He nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to the admendation of Yan and Liu...

"I want to see the prince brother!"

As Yan Li's expectation, when Wang Dequan went to Zhou Wang's Mansion to urge him again, Li Xian readily agreed, without any delay. Immediately, he set up a guard and arrived at the East Palace with great momentum. Fang entered the study. Before Li Hong's smiling face, Li Xian had grabbed the front and meticulously. The ground salute was seen, and there was no flaw in such respect.

"Excommtion, it's really not easy to invite the seventh brother. I'm looking forward to it."

Li Hong was really angry. Even if he knew that Li Xian was an important person in the matter of river workers, when he thought that the younger brother in front of him actually played with him, the unhaughty in his heart surged up uncontrollably. Although his face was virtuous and gorgeous, his words were obviously thorny.

Well, this man is really sour. It's a treat. I'm here to talk about business with you all the time. I'm not a begator. I'll come as soon as I shout. I don't know! Li Xian originally planned to make a big deal with Li Hong about the river work. Naturally, the East Palace must go. However, if Li Hong himself is not psychologically prepared, the business must collapse. This is also the reason why Li Xian refused the invitation before. His intention is to convey a message, then It's his Li Xian's price. Don't expect him to take out three melons and two dates and want to fool him. As for whether Li Hong will think of the meaning of the relent refusal, Li Xian is really a little worried. However, in Li Xian's view, there are many capable people around the prince. Even if he can't think of it, there are always people who can think through, only Li Hong can If he understands the meaning, he will definitely send someone to urge him again. This is also the reason why Li Xian dares to refuse Li Hong's first invitation. At this time, as soon as he met Li Hongfang, he said sour words. Li Xian knew that he had understood his own intention of refusal and would not follow his general opinion, so he laughed. He made amends and said, "I'm a little late. I'll ask the prince to wait. It's a sin, a sin."

"That's all right, just come. Come on, give me a seat."

Li Xian is an important figure in solving the problem of river engineering. Li Hongzi did not want to offend him. At this sight, Li Xian made amends, and it was not easy for him to play on the topic. He raised his hand and motioned Li Xian to exempt him from the gift, and then gave Li Xian the treatment of sitting. Since he issued an order, a group of small eunuchs were busy carrying Zhang Jindun. Li Xian was not very polite. He pleaded guilty and sat down, sitting upright without squinting, waiting for Li Hong's instructions.

"Have you heard about the seventh brother? Liu Yizhi and Zhou Simao, a group of North Gate bachelors, jointly recommend the seventh brother. I don't know what the seventh brother thinks about this?"

Li Hong's ability in government affairs is extremely outstanding, but his eloquence is just so-so. Not to mention that compared with Li Xian, who has become unparalleled, he is much better than Li Xian. At this time, facing the silent Li Xian, Li Hong actually has a sense of not knowing where to start. After a long time , simply came straight in with a single knife.

Ideas? Ha, that's too much. It doesn't matter what we think. What do you always think is the key! Li Xian didn't expect that Li Hong was so straightforward to ask about the business after holding back for a long time. He couldn't help laughing secretly, but his face was respectful and modest. He arched his hand and replied, "If you go back to the prince's brother, it's the ministers' love. In fact, it's hard for me to bear this heavy burden. I'm ashamed, ashamed!"

Li Xian said that he was ashamed, but there was no shame on his face. On the contrary, there was a faint sense of complacent. Seeing that Li Hong was upset for no reason, he really wanted to scold Li Xian angrily. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. What he could not do was something he could do. In desperation, he had to reply vaguely. He said, "The seventh brother is a great talent. The so-called ambition is not old. It is said that the seventh brother is such a talented person, and he has always admired him very much."

"Where, where, the prince's brother has been praised. The minister and brother are not as good as Pu Liu's posture, and he can't be called. What's more, he is very talented. On the contrary, the prince's brother is virtuous and unparalleled, and he is also the model of the real ministers and younger brothers." When it comes to those high-sounding nonsense, there are few people in the world who can compare with Li Xian. At this time, when he saw that Li Hong was reserved and refused to raise conditions, Li Xianzi did not intend to rush to talk about business. He was just talking nonsense, and this set of nonsense rolled up.

"Seventh brother's mouth is really good, that's all. I can't talk about you for my brother. Let's talk about business." Li Hong had already learned Li Xian's argument. He didn't want to talk more about those useless digressions. After laughing and scolding, he looked at Li Xian with a solemn face and said, "The seventh brother should know that the river fortifications and the security of the community is in danger, and he must be careless. However, there is a lot of discussion today, but it is finally inconclusive. In fact, the situation is unfavorable. Please invite the seventh brother today. I just want to hear the seventh brother's opinion on this matter. You can say anything, and it doesn't matter if you are wrong.

"Well, since the prince said so, I dare not be perfunctory." Speaking of business, Li Xian's waist immediately straightened up, and the hippie smile on his face disappeared. He arched his hand with an awe-inspiring expression and replied, "The importance of river workers, there is no need to say much about this. It is appropriate to do it quickly. Now it depends on who is in charge of the matter. The minister is young and lacks experience. It's useless. In today's court, there is no one else except the prince's brother and the sixth brother!"

"Oh? In this case, who do you think is more suitable for the seventh brother?

As soon as Li Hong heard that Li Xian pushed him out side by side with Li Xian, he was not angry, but secretly happy. His eyes flashed and he hurriedly asked a question. Unexpectedly, Li Xian did not answer, but smiled with deep meaning. The smile fell on Li Xian's eyes, and it rose in his heart for no reason. A slight chill...
