Chapter 320 The Storm Before the Court
On March 15 of the third year of Xianheng, Li was in the central government. It was suitable to marry and lay the foundation stone. Li Xian, the king of Lu, ascended the throne as the crown prince in the Juxian Hall of the East Palace. On March 18, it was held, and the prince was the main examination. On March 24, he presided over the palace examination on behalf of the emperor and took 200 scholars. The champion was Wang Yan, the son of Chang'an, who was only 20 years old. Xie Sheng, the son of Shanxi, was on the list. Zhang Jianzhi, an old scholar in Xiangfan in Jingzhou, was an exploration of flowers. The first two entered the East Palace as officials. Only Zhang Jianzhi declined the extension of the prince. At the same time, he declined the arrangement of the official department and resolutely threw himself into the British Palace to join the army, which caused a voice of regret - the world took the courtiers as the noble, followed by the East Palace, and the local officials. Thirdly, while the prince's subordinates were at the end, Zhang Jianzhi's move was clearly suspected of self-deprecating. The world was surprised, and Zhang Jianzhi had nothing to say.
No matter what the world said, Zhang Jianzhi ignored it and was only honest, but Li Xian could not let Zhang Jianzhi be wronged. He quietly sent someone to pick up his family from Xiangfan, and also arranged his two sons Zhang Yuan and Zhang Ming into Guozi Supervision. The treatment can be said to be a great honor. However, Zhang Jianzhi is no different. Thank you, the people of the royal palace and other strange things. Li Xian trusts more and more. The government affairs in the house are all up to Zhang Jianzhi. So far, there are Zhang Jianzhi inside and Di Renjie outside. Li Xian's political team is basically in place. The rest is just some work to make up for the gaps. For Li Xian, it is worth celebrating the beauty. However, in order not to cause criticism, Li Xian still kept a low profile very wisely and made a fortune.
Li Xian really wanted to keep a low profile. As a result, the court situation at that time was very strange, and there was not much movement on all parties. The big guys seemed to have an appointment, and they all played deeply. The court was in order, and everything went well. Naturally, Li Xian did not want to stir up trouble at this time. In case it becomes the target of public criticism, then The fun is not small. The eaves at the beginning are always rotten first. Li Xian doesn't want to be the top bird, so the days are passing so calmly. In a blink of an eye, it is the Dragon Boat Festival. Although it is still during the national mourning, you can't feast and drink as usual. However, in order to take care of the people's feelings, Gao Zong issued a clear edict and allowed it. After three days of ban, the people in the world heard about it, and there was no one who couldn't praise him. Li Xian, who could not enjoy himself when he entered the East Palace Ceremony, was so excited that he put down the invitation early. He wanted to take this good opportunity to celebrate. As the greatest meritorious minister of Li Xian's position, Li Xian is naturally one of the guests. Whether Li Xian is willing or not, this banquet is naturally If you have to go, you not only have to go, but also you have to go in a high-profile way. Otherwise, how can you show the intimacy of the two brothers? Well, the banquet will be held at noon. Li Xiansi arrived at three o'clock. Not only the person arrived, but also the big gift was also delivered. As soon as he took action, it was 3,000 pieces of flying money, but Li Xian, who was short of money, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He also specially arranged for Li Xian to rest in the apse of the Juxian Hall in person, waiting for the beginning of the banquet, and the number of etiquette was also very good.
Three thousand is a big number for others, but for Li Xian, it's just a dime. You know that Li Xian is now a big business - the "Deng Ji Business" led by Deng Cheng can now be said to be the first business in the world. Needless to say, the assets hidden in the dark, the business alone is shocking. There are a lot of people, and most of them are unique businesses. Although the cost of "Mingxi" is also large, even so, the annual net income is equivalent to one-tenth of the revenue of the national treasury. It's really amazing. It's not a big deal to take out such a small amount of money to fight with Li Xian. It's not a big deal. You can see Li Xian's little money. Li Xian He was willing to give up, not only willing, but also happy. However, after the little eunuch who came to deliver tea gave Li Xian a few signals, Li Xian couldn't laugh.
It doesn't matter who the eunuch's surname is. The important thing is that this person is one of the hidden piles inserted into the East Palace by Li Xian'an. Several secret codes he typed are extremely hidden. Only Li Xian can understand the meaning of it - someone wants to make trouble at the banquet, and the target is Li Xian, no doubt Ask, Li Xian must be clear about this trouble, but he didn't say anything about it, and the strangeness here is getting bigger.
Is it difficult? I really treat me as a sick cat. These idiots are going to die, so come on! Li Xian knows very well that although he has been acting in a low profile during this period of time, the previous limelight is really too big. It has long become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh that all parties can't tolerate. It is supposed to come sooner or later. It's just a matter of when it comes. Of course, Li Xian has also made relevant preparations for a long time, but it's not too much. However, when he thought that Li Xian actually intervened in it, Li Xian couldn't help but get angry. It can only be said that this guy really owes some cleaning up, although Li Xian understands his deep worries. After all, no matter who stays in the position of the prince, it is impossible for such a strong brother as Li Xian. I'm all relieved. It's a matter of time before I do it. The problem is that this person's buttocks are not sitting firmly, so I'm thinking about crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. I really don't know how the word "death" is written.
"Seventh brother, let's go and sit with our brother!"
Time passed quickly in Li Xian's meditation. The noon was approaching. Li Xian, with an excited face, flashed out from behind the screen, waved to Li Xian with enthusiasm, and greeted with a smile.
"If the prince is invited, the prince should obey the order."
For Li Xian's people, Li Xian is ready to give up, but he can't give up so quickly. At least before Li Xian's official, Li Xian must have enough capital to confront the Empress Wu and Li Zhen, so that they can fight enough in the court, so as to buy time for Li Xian to calmly deploy the overall situation. Because of this, he knows that Li Xian's banquet was ulterior, but Li Xian still didn't intend to tear his face with him. He stood up without knowing and answered with a smile.
"Well, the seventh brother is here again. It's agreed to call the sixth brother directly. The prince is not very childish. Isn't he going to cut his brother's face?"
Li Xian was obviously in a good mood. When he saw Li Xian salute himself, he immediately pretended to be angry and put on his face on the floor and pretended to be unhappy.
Cut, if we really call "Sixth Brother", I'm afraid that there will be a shadow in your heart again. It's really hypocritical and boring! Li Xian knows Li Xian very well. How could he not know that this boy was pretending to be there? He couldn't help but feel crooked for a long time, but he didn't bother to say it. He just responded with a smile and said, "The prince taught me a lesson. It's just that the name of the king and minister is certain, and I dare not lose my courtesy, in case. If you are full by those people, you will think about the ginseng officials to play a book, and turn around and it will be a big storm. Brother Prince, don't be embarrassed.
"That's all, that's all, it's up to you. Go, go, go, don't let everyone wait. Today, I'm going to get drunk with my seventh brother!" As Li Xian thought, Li Xian was just a fake politeness. At this time, when he saw Li Xian's insistence, he was very tight in his heart, but his face was reluctant to take Li Xian's hand and walk out of the door as he spoke. Li Xian didn't bother to care about it, so Li Xian pretended to act warmly there, and the two brothers walked into the front hall talking and laughing all the way.
"Your Highness is here!"
In the front hall, all kinds of people were chatting. Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded at the corner of the apse and the front hall. They did not dare to neglect it. They got up and stood with their hands down, waiting for Li Xian's arrival.
"See Your Highness the Prince!"
When the Li Xian brothers walked into the front hall side by side, a group of people bowed and saluted.
"No, no, they are all our own brothers. There is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."
Li Xian proudly walked up to the middle position, and was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he looked around at the people in the hall, pressed his hands with a smile, and ordered them to be easy-going.
"Thank you for your seat!"
Li Xian could pretend to be humble, but everyone did not dare to be rude. As usual, he thanked him for his kindness, and then he sat down.
Ha ha, my brother? They are really my own brothers! Taking advantage of Li Xian's pretensions, Li Xian had already seen all the people present clearly. There are only a dozen people who came to the banquet at this time, and they can really be regarded as brothers - Li Xulun, the official brother, is not counted as the fourth son of Li Zhen, who is a cousin, plus four of the seven sons of Li Shen, the king of Ji - Li Xu, Licong and Li Rui. Li Xiu is also a cousin. As for the four people of the Wu family are cousins, the only exception is Ming Chong Yan, who sits with the four brothers of the Wu family. There are representatives from all sides in such a large group, and they are free from the posture of the United Nations.
"Ging and dancing!"
Li Xian obviously enjoyed the respect of everyone and deliberately meditated for a moment. Then he gave a high-five and proudly ordered. Even if he saw more than a dozen dress-up dancers floating in from the outside of the hall, the drums were loud, the water sleeves were flying, and the songs gradually rising, dazzling and dancing, so lively.
Since Li Hong's death, most of them have not been drinking for a long time. When they get the stool, they all let go and drink. In addition, they are all young people here. When they drink wine, they are all bold and tight. After a song and dance, the wine has already passed three rounds. The atmosphere is not harmonious, but there is a dark atmosphere in it. It circulated in the hall, but it was extremely light. If it hadn't been for the heart like a mirror, he would definitely notice it. Of course, for Li Xian, it was not a problem. He had long noticed the eyebrows between the brothers, but he didn't care much. He drank when he should drink, and he didn't fall when he applauded. He enjoyed the feast. It was calm. Until Ming Chongyan picked up the wine bottle and was about to come over, although Li Xian was still smiling, there was a little more imperceptible killing in his eyes. Because Li Xian was very clear that the play was coming...
