Concubine Xiao Shu and Li Hong looked at Yiyang and Gao An at the same time, and the two happy birds flew out of the door.
Concubine Xiao Shu then signaled the maids to stay away, and only she and Li Hong were left in the entire courtyard, as well as Li Hong's two maids, Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue.
Xia Zhi, Xiaoxue, and Concubine Xiao Shu also knew that these two palace ladies were different from other palace ladies. Since Hong'er died in Taiyi City, the status of these two palace ladies has undergone earth-shaking changes. Nowadays, not everyone dares to give instructions.
Concubine Xiao Shu and Li Hong were silent for a while. Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly spoke seriously: "Hong'er, although I don't know the grudges between you and He Lan Minzhi, as a person who has experienced failure, I want to give you a few words of advice. ”
Li Hong smiled, sat up straight and said, "Mother and concubine just said it, Hong'er will naturally remember it in her heart."
Concubine Xiao Shu smiled, her face full of calmness. Over the years, she knew very well that if it weren't for Li Hong, she would have died long ago, and Sujie, Yiyang, and Gao'an would never be as happy as they are today.
Concubine Xiao Shu's beautiful cheeks instantly turned a little cold, and her otherworldly aura seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
"Those who achieve great things must know how to write the word ruthless after all! Indecisiveness has never been what an emperor should have. You are the future master of my Tang Dynasty, much stronger than your father! Although your father is also wise and resourceful, but Compared with you, I'm afraid it's not comparable." Concubine Xiao Shu turned her head and looked at Li Hong with a solemn expression.
"Mother and concubine are joking. My father is not as unbearable as you think. Otherwise, my father would not have been able to control the court with ease all these years..."
"How much of this is not your mother's credit? Don't lie to me with these words to deceive Yiyang and the others. Although I failed in the fight with your mother back then, there is certainly a subjective factor of His Majesty's deep love for your mother, but there are also That's why I despise your mother." Concubine Xiao Shu said slowly as she stared blankly at the mottled palace wall.
It was not convenient for Li Hong to interrupt. Back then, he only saved Concubine Xiao Shu's lingering life by virtue of his young age. However, it was not so much that he was incompetent but that he also wanted to be the prince. Therefore, regarding Empress Wang's affairs, , I really didn’t care about Concubine Xiao Shu that much.
Concubine Xiao Shu glanced sideways at Li Hong and saw that the guy was just giggling there. Then she stood up and patted Li Hong on the head angrily, and said lightly: "Some things need to be decided early. If you delay the decision for a long time, it is easy to cause trouble. Besides, you My father and mother are not here now, Hong'er, this is your best chance now."
Concubine Xiao Shu's expression was plain and her tone was calm. Even her beautiful eyes were calm, but the meaning of her words could still make people feel the majesty of Concubine Xiao Shu, who was so dominant in the palace back then.
Li Hong sighed in embarrassment, he knew what Xiao Shufei was talking about. If He Lanmin is not dead, he will always be a disaster. No one knows what troubles he will cause next time.
"Hong'er understands that some people should not let him exist, otherwise the royal family's face will be lost sooner or later, and it will be strangled in the cradle." Li Hong thought about the pros and cons of getting rid of Helan Minzhi.
Concubine Xiao Shu's beautiful eyes were bright, she looked at Li Hong quietly, and reassured him: "Under your careful management over the years, although I dare not say that your position as prince is now as stable as Mount Tai. But at least, there is no one yet." It can completely shake you and create a threat to you, so you don’t have to worry too much, as it is a taboo for those in power to continue to be disturbed by it.”
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully. He was not afraid that removing Helan Minzhi would destabilize his position as prince. What he was worried about was that removing Helan Minzhi would worsen the relationship between himself and his mother.
Who is the queen mother? The first woman in China’s five thousand years of history, an existence that no one can surpass!
If he doesn't handle it well, it's not impossible for him to be hostile to his mother in the future, but this is something he doesn't want to see. In the final analysis, Li Hong himself was very afraid of being hostile to his mother, and he was afraid of her real energy bursting out.
Moreover, He Lan Minzhi was favored not so much in front of his mother as in front of Mrs. Rongguo. Why is it so favored? He is so pampered that the mother is willing to turn a blind eye and let him do whatever he wants!
After all, it wasn't because of the dirty things between He Lan Minzhi and Mrs. Rong Guo, why didn't the queen mother know about it? But due to Mrs. Rongguo's kindness, even the queen mother can't really put He Lanmin to death for a while now!
Concubine Xiao Shu looked at Li Hong's contemplative look, stretched lazily, and his curvy figure was immediately revealed.
He continued to say calmly: "It is difficult for you to get support from your father, but Hong'er, why don't you use your mother? I'm afraid your mother doesn't want to see Helan Minzhi acting like this all the time, right?"
"Why do you think that your concubine asked me to kill He Lanmin to save Yiyang and the others from future trouble?" Li Hong asked with a sideways smile.
Concubine Xiao Shu angrily slapped Li Hong on the head: "I beg you for a beating. Your father, the Korean lady, and his daughter Helan Minyue are always flirting with each other. Naturally, your mother feels uncomfortable. This is why your mother used to congratulate you freely." Lan Minzhi came here just to fight against your father. But now... I'm afraid your mother has also found out. This will not only make your father restrain himself, but also make Mrs. Han and Helan Minyue become more unscrupulous with him. If you can. Use Helan Minzhi as a breakthrough point to beat Mrs. Korea and Helan Minyue. When the time comes, your mother will definitely support you. When something happens, she will never stand by and watch you. "
Li Hong scratched the back of his head and said hehe: "Mother, you said you know my mother so well, why did you lose to my mother back then?"
Concubine Xiao Shu didn't care at all that she became the loser that year, and said calmly: "So what if you understand? Understanding doesn't mean you have the means? Even if you have the means, it may not be better than your mother. Just go ahead and do it, I, Mrs. Xiao, dare to follow you I promise, your mother would like to see all this."
At the end of her speech, Concubine Xiao Shu's expression, which had always been calm and peaceful, suddenly showed a hint of normal intrigue.
Li Hong gave Concubine Xiao Shu a thumbs up and praised: "Concubine Mother is amazing. She can have such unique insights while living alone in a deep palace. It seems that Concubine Concubine Bingxue is said to be smart in the world. It is not unreasonable."
"Young Master got an advantage and acted like a good boy, but I am not selfish. Well, you are not the one who got He Lan Minzhi and Yiyang and the others involved together. You are forcing your mother and concubine to give you advice and give you Reassurance?" Xiao Shufei said, blinking her beautiful and bright eyes.
Li Hong didn't feel embarrassed at all when someone exposed the trick, hehe said: "In this world, if you are the person who knows my mother best, I am afraid it is you. When Hong'er is in trouble, he naturally comes to you. "
Concubine Xiao Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go ahead and do it. It's rare that you can remain so calm at this moment. As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with things. Hong'er, if you can look down on me as a bystander, I will be satisfied."
"Okay, then Hong'er takes his leave. If you need anything, send someone to tell me, or tell Yiyang and the others, and ask them to send me a message." Li Hong stood up, saluted Concubine Xiao Shu, then turned and left.
Concubine Xiao Shu still sat quietly until Li Hong's figure disappeared, then she slowly lay down comfortably on the recliner again.
But he was thinking in his mind, when Li Hong ignored Wu Mei's objections and left himself a miserable life, was it just to wait for this day? Or is he deeply afraid that one day he will fall out with his mother and become an enemy, leaving him to use against his mother
That little figure was mysterious and fuzzy in her mind for a while, and then it was clear for a while. Even though Concubine Xiao Shu was extremely smart, she felt a little unable to see through Li Hong at this time.
But no matter what, Li Hong has been truly heart-to-heart with her, Yiyang, Gao'an, and Sujie over the years, and has truly protected them out of affection.
Putting aside the unthinkable things, Concubine Xiao Shu began to close her eyes and rest her mind. She had become accustomed to it over the years. No matter how the royal family changed, it had nothing to do with her.
Li Hong, who returned to the East Palace, had already made up his mind on the way back. If the new money really flowed out of Changlefang, he would never let him go again no matter what!
"Tell Hua Meng that tomorrow we will notify the three provinces and six ministries to discuss sending troops to Goryeo and Japan's request to send envoys to Tang." Li Hong looked at Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong who were sitting in the living room waiting for him, and whispered to Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue nodded obediently and then left, leaving Xia Zhi to accompany Li Hong and walk towards the living room.
"My ministers Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu have met His Highness the Crown Prince." The two men saw Li Hong walking in and stood up hurriedly and said.
"Two gentlemen, please sit down quickly. We are all so familiar with each other, so we can save what we can." Li Hong stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down, and he sat down on the other side.
"I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince has summoned us?" Li Yifu's warm and sincere smile has not changed after so many years, and it still looks so inviting that people can't help but let down their guard.
"I don't want to send troops to Goryeo, and I don't want Japan to send envoys to Tang Dynasty again, so I want to hear your opinions." Li Hong also said straightforwardly.
Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then asked: "When will His Highness plan to discuss matters with the three provinces and six ministries?"
"Tomorrow. So you only have half a day today." Li Hong said as the sun began to set outside.
"Where is Your Majesty...?" Xu Jingzong asked maturely and solemnly.
"I haven't received any orders yet. Maybe my father will let me make my own decision." Li Hong blinked and said.
Li Yifu stood up and said solemnly: "Your Highness, if you want to order these two things, I think you should first..." Li Yifu made a knife-like hand with his hand, cut it horizontally in the air, and then continued: "So That’s a very safe way.”
