Chapter 116 The prince wants to fight back
The Western Regions is rich in grapes, and the wine is generally brewed from grapes, especially the best produced at the foot of Gaochang Flame Mountain, which is really an unparalleled wine. Li Hong took out the banquet. It is the best Gaochang wine tribute to Pei Xingjian, the governor of Anxi. Its taste is mellow and extraordinary. If it is sold on the market, it will be less than a catty. Two or three hundred can't get down at all. Even if Li Hong and other nobles are princes and princes, it is difficult to use them last time on weekdays. However, the three of them are not good drinkers. They are said to have a banquet. In fact, they are generally watching songs and dancing and chatting casually. The big guy's heart is not on the wine. Is this atmosphere? It's not too hot, and it's quite warm.
"All of them retreat."
After several rounds of drinking, the song and dancing were already three folded. It was time to talk about business. As soon as he took advantage of the third fold of singing and dancing, Li Hongyang waved his hand and gave a casual order. Immediately, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the flower hall all agreed to leave, and only three brothers sat in the spacious hall.
"The sixth brother and the seventh brother, the official department is the head of the six departments. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to have a vacancy for a long time. For my brother, I think that Zhao Ren can take this important task, and the two virtuous brothers should also think the same. In this case, it's good to jointly report to my father together." After everyone retreated, Li Hong only meditated slightly, and then opened his mouth with a smile and went straight to the topic without hiding.
"What the prince's brother said is very true, and the ministers and brothers also think so, but..."
Hearing that Li Hong made such a request so directly, Li Xian's face changed slightly, but there was no side expression. Li Xian smiled and accepted it, but at the end of the words, he left a small tail.
"Seventh brother, don't worry, he will not break his promise and get fat for what he promised. Well, Yang Wu and Yang Shilang are loyal and diligent, which seems to be of great use. The current Dali Temple Qing Duan Baoxuan has been begging for the old man several times. He has been reluctant to retain him because there is no one to replace him. Now Yang Shilang has outstanding ability, and he thinks that he will be transferred to Dali Temple for his brother. Zhengqing may be suitable. Do you think it's feasible?" Li Hong answered very directly. Because he has experienced so many things, he knows that Li Xian is a master of detours, and it is meaningless to be confused with him. Instead of trying his best to play with flowers, it is better to put everything on the surface, and things are more straightforward.
The authority of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty is extremely heavy. Compared with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which is only in charge of prisons, issuing sea arrest documents, and arresting fugitives, its authority is many times stronger. This is the sword of the country. Whoever can hold this sword will have the foundation of the court, and the minister of Dali Temple is this. At the head of the sword, anyone who is interested in the court does not want to occupy this position. Naturally, Li Xian is no exception. At the first time he heard that Li Hong had made such a heavy profit, Li Xian's eyes lit up in an instant, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say, but at the end, he still resisted the impulse to open his mouth, just inquired. He looked at Li Xian, who frowned slightly, and made it clear that Li Xian would come to take this idea.
Good boy, this is to put me on the stove, hey, Dali Siqing? What a big **. Unfortunately, this apple looks beautiful, but it is very toxic. It's not easy to pick up, huh? No, is this boy going to launch a counterattack? That's right. If he doesn't fight back, he, the prince, will be completely empty, but this opportunity doesn't seem to be good! Li Xian's mind was so sharp that he had broken the unfinished meaning in Li Hong's words in just a moment. He intended to add fuel to the flames, but he suddenly remembered something in his heart, but he had to put up with such impulses.
If you can get the Dali Temple, it will be equivalent to breaking the arm of Wuhou. No matter how difficult this is, Li Xian will try it. Unfortunately, the timing is a little wrong, just because Li Xian remembers it clearly that in his previous life, at the beginning of next month, Goguryeo will happen. There was civil strife. At that time, the Tang army sent a large number of troops and destroyed Goguryeo in the first battle. This is a military and state event related to the appeasement of the border. The court should not be chaotic. At least when deciding whether to send troops or not, the court should not be in chaos, otherwise there will be a possibility of missing the opportunity. If this is the case, those who provoke the court during this period will be sinners for thousands of years. Li Xian dares not take this risk!
"What the prince said is very true, but the minister thinks that Yang Wu is the old engineering department after all. Now the river industry is under preparation. At this time, the transfer of his position may inevitably affect the progress of the river industry. If it moves again in autumn, it may be better." After quickly weighing all the advantages and disadvantages in his heart, Li Xian smiled and declined the benefits given by the prince. At the same time, he did not forget to mention the appropriate time to take action in his words.
"Ha ha, that's right. It's still the seventh brother who is thoughtful. He almost forgot about the river work for his brother. Well, it's just that this love has been decided, and it's not easy to keep it for his brother. I don't know if the sixth brother and the seventh brother have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Li Hong obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would not accept the big pie he gave. He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, but he still didn't want to give up the original intention of pulling the two kings to join hands to fight back against Wuhou, so he persistently asked.
Well, this man is too anxious. If you want to fight with the old thief, you can't rely on blood and courage alone. You have to be patient. Otherwise, you don't know how to die! Although Li Xian understood Li Hong's bitterness of insisting on launching a counterattack immediately, he did not agree with Li Hong's blind action. At this time, when he saw that he did not change his original intention, he knew that his intention had been determined. No matter how difficult it was, it would be easier. The trouble was that Li Xian could not sit and watch him suffer a huge loss. After all, at this time, neither he nor Li Xian were not full. Prince Xu blocked the fierce flame of the Queen Wu in front of him. In desperation, he had to run his mind at full speed and try to find a balance point. At this time, a familiar face suddenly flashed in his heart, and Li Xian's eyes couldn't help but light up. He said with a smile, "It's good for the prince brother to learn that my brother happened to know. Although his qualifications are slightly lacking, his ability is the best in the world. This person may not be qualified to be the minister of Dali Temple, but if he is the prime minister of Dali Temple, it is more than enough.
"Oh? Since it is recommended by the seventh brother, it should be Junyan, but I don't know who this person is? Li Hong's original intention was to ask the two kings to help him clean up the Dali Temple. As for whether Yang Wu was appointed as the secretary of Dali Temple, Li Hong didn't care at all. As long as Li Xian was willing to recommend someone, it would be enough for Li Hong. However, Li Hong still had to know the resume of the person he recommended, so he asked with a smile.
"It's good for the prince's brother to know that this person Yan Shangshu is actually very familiar with him. His surname is Di, his name is Renjie, and his name is Huaiying. He was born in the Ming Dynasty in the first year of Xianqing. He used to be the judge of Bianzhou. He is currently the governor of Bingzhou. He is good at judging cases and has a virtuous name. It is suitable for him to serve as the prime minister of Dali Temple." Li Xian didn't take the mark. He reported Di Renjie's resume one by one with a smile.
"Oh? So that's it. Well, this person has just jumped from the seventh grade to the fifth grade. Although he is suspected of being super, since it is recommended by the seventh brother, he will try his best to achieve it for his brother.
As soon as Li Hong heard that Li Xian reported the resume of this young official named Di Renjie so smoothly, he couldn't help thinking that this person must be one of Li Xian's secretly cultivated confidants. He was very satisfied with Li Xian's behavior of taking over the olive branch. As for whether Di Renjie has the ability, Li Hong didn't care at all, so he smiled and agreed. Come on.
"If this is the case, it will be the creation of a virtuous talent in the imperial court." Li Xian only knew that Li Hong had misunderstood, but he didn't say anything about it. He just smiled and replied, and then he got up, bowed to Li Hong and said, "Thank you for the prince's feast and hospitality. However, my brother is really weak, and I will leave for the time being. In the future, I will come back to ask the prince."
"I'm leaving."
Li Xian, who was always listening silently, saw Li Xian's resignation. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and echoed indifferently.
"Well, after a day's day, I'm tired of being a brother. The two virtuous brothers, let's go slowly, and I won't send them off for my brother." Li Hong's purpose of this invitation for the banquet has been achieved, or he thinks that he has achieved it, and he will not retain the two kings any more, so he nodded with a smile and signaled the two kings to do it.
"Seventh brother, Yang Wuqi still knows that he is a brother. It seems to be okay for him to take charge of Dali Temple. Why is the seventh brother..." After leaving the East Palace, Li Xian's mind was full of unbearable. He didn't even have time to get on the carriage, so he roared and asked.
"Brother Six, get in the car and say."
At this time, the surroundings are full of attendants. Li Xianshi didn't want to discuss these secret matters in public. He didn't wait for Li Xian to finish his words, so he stopped him.
"The prince is going to do it at Dali Temple!" As soon as Bu got on the car, without waiting for Li Xian to ask questions again, Li Xian had already thrown out the conclusion.
"Ah, this..."
Li Xian really didn't think of it so deeply. It's just a pity that Li Xian refused the position of Dali Temple Secretary given by the prince. At the first time he heard such shocking news, he was shocked.
"Sixth brother, don't worry, just listen to what the little brother said." Li Xian smiled confidently and said, "What the prince did this time is really a last resort. If he doesn't fight back, the general trend will go. It's just that the timing of the choice is a little inappropriate. At this time, my father and emperor can't be a director yet. If he is forced to do it, he can only hit his head and break the blood. If he falls down, you and my brother will not live a good life. Therefore, little brother Just recommending a Bingzhou Fa Cao is nothing more than delaying the opportunity for the prince's brother to take action. In my opinion, when Qiu Gao is happy, it is a good opportunity to take action. At that time, the father is fine and will be in charge. You and my brother will help from the side again. When you can determine the overall situation, you don't want to shake the Dali Temple as much as you want, you can get it. The position of several officials is enough.
"Well, that's fine, that's it!"
Li Xian has always been convinced of Li Xian's ability. What's more reassuring is that after every use, most of the profits are accepted by Li Xian. At this time, when he heard Li Xian so affirmation, he had no reason to believe it.
