Chapter 232: The Covenant of the White Goose (Part II)
"Seventh brother, what is the end of that guy's wedding, I always think it's weird here."
Li Xian's temperament was impatient, and he had never been able to keep his thoughts, so he had just gotten into the carriage, and his ass had not yet sat down, and he was already impatient to ask.
"Hehe, the sixth brother is wise, you can see it at a glance."
Li Xian did not rush to answer Li Xian's question, but smiled and presented a high hat.
"That's it, the seventh brother is going to laugh, what's the weirdness here?"
Li Xian was in a bad mood, so he had no intention of laughing, rolled his eyes angrily, and asked again.
"The sixth brother is exactly what he expected, this is indeed strange and not small, things are long, there is still a lot of time left and right in front of the palace, and the younger brother will start from the beginning......"
Li Xian laid out a big chess game this time, and Li Xian needed to cooperate with it, so he would not hide too much, so he told the story in detail, of course, the absolute secret that should be concealed Li Xian would definitely not tell Li Xianming.
"I see, I'll just say, that Pei Judao was originally a dog next to the queen mother, and he actually wanted to marry that guy in a good manner, no matter how he looked at it, he dared to love the seventh brother who threaded the needle in it, hehe, it was also very interesting, but for the brother on the way, I heard that the prince seemed to send someone to this chapter, saying that he wanted to take the white goose as a congratulatory party to show auspiciousness, this white goose is a rare thing, not to mention that it is rare to see in a hundred years, even if there is, where should I find it?" Li Xian was not stupid, just after hearing it, he already understood that Li Xian was playing a strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and he was overjoyed in his heart, but then he remembered the rarity of the white goose, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"White geese? Hey, the prince's brother thought that he could delay the marriage with this thing, but what he did was just a strategy to delay and wait for change, but unfortunately, the younger brother didn't let him get his wish. Li Xian smiled evilly and said disapprehantly.
"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”
As soon as he heard Li Xian say so confidently, Li Xian's brows couldn't help but rise, and he looked at Li Xian suspiciously, seeing that his relaxed appearance didn't look like he was joking, he was interested, and hurriedly asked.
The Buddha said, "Don't say it!" Hehe, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and the sixth brother just needs to watch the excitement. ”
Li Xian replied with a smile and sold enough.
"You, you like to rectify these mysteries, and the good Buddha is used by you like this, it is really nondescript, it's just that the seventh brother doesn't want to say, and he doesn't bother to ask for his brother, so what do you want to do for your brother?"
Li Xian's mind is to enter the Qing Palace, but if he can embarrass the prince, there is nothing he is not willing to do, at this time, seeing that Li Xian is unwilling to reveal the details inside, although he is a little dissatisfied, but it is not easy to force it, so he can only laugh and scold.
"Ha, the sixth brother is really right, the younger brother has something for the sixth brother to do."
Li Xian laughed, slapped his palms, and quipped.
"Oh? Please advise! ”
Li Xian obviously didn't have the mood to laugh like Li Xian, his face was solemn, he looked at Li Xian with a cautious expression, and asked seriously.
"So that the sixth brother knows that this layout is actually on the surface, and most things are afraid that it is difficult to hide the scheming of the queen mother, well, even the prince's brother will think through it sooner or later, but unfortunately, even if they all figure it out, it will be useless, because there is no possibility of compromise between the two sides, what the younger brother did is just to provide an opportunity for both sides to fight head-on, and the most critical thing has to fall on the sixth brother." Facing Li Xian's solemn expression, Li Xian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and explained in a flat tone, with a calm demeanor in his words.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard that the key actually fell on himself, Li Xian was stunned, stared at Li Xian suspiciously, said lightly, and put on a posture of listening carefully.
"Sixth brother don't be surprised, this mess must be not small, needless to say, the little brother, the initiator, is afraid that he will not escape the fate of being involved, and if he doesn't make trouble, he has to take off a layer of skin, as for the sixth brother, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but there is one thing that you have to prepare for, that is, to write a good book for inviting yourself to the main exam in the spring of tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will immediately go to this chapter and take this important position!" Li Xian didn't sell Guan Zi again this time, but replied with a cautious expression.
"Seventh brother, for the ...... brother"
Hearing that Li Xian planned such a big game, he even did not hesitate to be in it, and the final result was that he Li Xian was seeking benefits, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but be hot, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to thank him, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
"Sixth brother, you and my brother are one, and the younger brother won't say much if it's superfluous, so please ask the sixth brother to hurry up, and the younger brother will deal with the rest of the things." Li Xianyi waved his hand and said in a big way.
"Okay, the seventh brother can have this heart, and the brother will keep it in his heart, if he ...... in the future, he will never forget the good of the seventh brother!"
Li Xian was obviously really moved by Li Xian, and the corners of his eyes moistened and cursed.
"Brothers together!"
"Its profits are broken!"
Li Xian raised his palm, his face resolutely opened, Li Xian immediately raised his palm knowingly, read the second half of the sentence, and then, the two brothers looked at each other and laughed, and the joyful laughter echoed in the spacious carriage......
"Holy Commandment, Xuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three kings of Lu, Ying, and Yin are coming to meet in the Qianyuan Palace!"
The distance from the suburbs of five miles outside the city to the imperial city is not close, about fifteen miles away, Rao is everyone is by carriage, this way to the gate of heaven, it also took more than an hour, the sun has already deviated to the west, fortunately, the holy decree came quickly, everyone just handed the sign up, but a pillar of incense time, I saw the eunuch Gao Hesheng leading several small eunuchs out of the door, procrastinating to announce Gaozong's message.
"There is Lao Gao's father-in-law."
As soon as he heard that the place of the audience was in the main hall of the Great Inner Palace, Li Hong's brows unconsciously frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, just nodded his head and thanked him gently.
"The old slave doesn't dare, His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highnesses, Your Majesty and Niangniang are waiting, please come with the old slave."
The people present were all extremely noble, Gao Hesheng didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, bowed to the side with a smile, humbly waved his hand, and gestured to please.
"Well, I'm tired."
Although Li Hong was suspicious in his heart, he still smiled very gently, nodded his head, shook his wide sleeves, and when he entered the gate of heaven first, Li Xian and the others saw this, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they started one after another, followed behind Li Hong, and went straight to the Qianyuan Hall along the palace avenue speechlessly......
"The sons and daughters will knock on the father and the queen mother."
In the Qianyuan Palace, Gaozong and Empress Wu sat side by side on the dragon bed, and the little girl Princess Taiping, who looked weird and elfy, stood aside with her hands behind her back, and when she saw the four brothers walking in, she immediately stuck out her tongue cutely, made a grimace, and when she boarded, the four princes couldn't help but be happy, and then they were happy, but they didn't dare to lose the number of rites.
"Okay, good, Hong'er, Xian'er is here, okay, flat, all flat."
Gaozong is not a good emperor, nor is he a good father, but most of his love for his children comes from the heart.
"Son, wait for Father Emperor Longen."
The four brothers thanked them as usual, got up and stood with their hands down.
"Hong'er, the Ministry of Rites has reported a personal election this time, saying that Pei Judao's girl is good, and she has seen her father, it is indeed good, it is a good match for my son, and you are not small, so it is good to do this thing earlier, what does Hong'er think?" Gaozong looked around at the princes with great satisfaction, and a smug smile immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes finally fell on Li Hong, who was in the front, and opened the golden mouth with a smile.
"Back to my father's words, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is doing things safely, and the sons have no objections."
Li Hong was naturally dissatisfied with this bullshit marriage, but on such occasions, even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't show it, so he could only reply respectfully, but the words focused on the Ministry of Rites, and his intention was just to imply that the Ministry of Rites still had requirements for this big wedding.
"Okay, that's good, I'll give an edict and do it quickly."
Gaozong patronized and was happy, but did not hear the subtext in Li Hong's words, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, he planned to make a holy decree on this.
"Your Majesty, this matter may still have some twists and turns, and the Ministry of Rites has put forward a saying that even the white goose is congratulating, if it is not properly handled, I am afraid it will not be good."
Without waiting for Gaozong's official order, Empress Wu, who was sitting silently on the side, suddenly interjected, and instantly blocked Gaozong's unspoken will.
"Well, we have to be cautious about this."
As soon as he heard the white goose congratulating, Gaozong was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a look of embarrassment, frowning and muttering, as if he was very dissatisfied with the extraneous branches of the Ministry of Rites.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, although white geese are rare, if you issue an edict to hunt in various places, it is not rare, but in this way, it may be suspected of disturbing the people, so you must be cautious."
Wu Hou followed Gaozong's words with a gloomy look, and his eyes wandered back and forth on Li Hong and Li Xian intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was self-evident.
Ha, the old thief is really not simple, I think I have seen the strangeness, hey, what can I do, what can we do, we are a bright game, I am not afraid that you will see through it, you still have to jump down if you see through it, yes, it's almost time for us to come forward and sing a big show! Facing the ambiguous gaze of the Empress Wu, Li Xian did not retreat at all, smiled slightly, took a step forward, bowed, and said loudly: "Enlighten the father and the queen mother, the son thinks that the prince's brother's marriage is a major event related to the national body, and it is not an exaggeration to congratulate the white goose, however, the act of hunting the world has the disaster of disturbing the people, and it is indeed not appropriate to do it. ”
As soon as Li Xian's words came out, the whole hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were all condensed on him, and the atmosphere in the hall was strange and inexplicable for a while......
