Tibet

Early the next morning, Wang Jian hurried to Yang Mansion. He thought about it all night. The task Li Linfu gave him was not serious. He could even go along with the situation, but he could no longer bear the threat of losing his son.

Or maybe the hundred taels of silver was like giving him a cup of chicken blood. Although he didn't sleep all night, he was still in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, I have an emergency due to my humble duties!"

Yang Wei was about to go out to meet Mrs. Guo Guo. He waved his hand and said, "Get in the car and talk!"

The two got on the carriage and the carriage moved slowly. Wang Jian said: "Beizhi thought about it all night last night. Beizhi felt that we thought of Li Linfu too simply. He would never impeach Yu Wenjing just once."

"How can I see it?"

"The impeachment this time is not strong enough, and it is easy for Yu Wenjing to avoid it. Even in his humble position, Li Linfu can see it, can't he?

Li Linfu never took action against his political opponents. Once he did, he would be extremely ruthless. Therefore, he concluded that Li Linfu must have a back-up plan, and it was the back-up plan that made it impossible for Yu Wenjing to stand up. "

Yang Hao nodded, "What you said makes sense, so how should I deal with it?"

"The envoy must also have a second candidate? Otherwise, he will be very passive and mess up the situation."

Yang Wei was a little confused: "You know I don't know many senior officials, who can I recommend?"

Wang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Don't you have allies in launching the Sun Jiliang case this time?"

Wang Jian knew Yang Wei very well and knew that his intelligence was poor. He might not be able to understand it after he talked for a long time, so he used guidance to let himself think. Once he figured it out by himself, it was his decision and he would stick to it. , will not change easily.

Yang Wei thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you talking about Zhang Jun?"

"Do you think he is suitable?"

Yang Hao struck with his fist, "That's him. He's so suitable. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He has sufficient qualifications and position. He is also the eldest son of the former Prime Minister and his brother is the consort. He is the most suitable."

Yang Wei was deeply impressed by Zhang Jun. When he visited Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun's attitude was very humble and made him feel very comfortable. The two hit it off immediately, and Zhang Jun's son Zhang Yan was responsible for arranging for Li Ye to take the bait.

Yang Wei smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, Zhang Jun's father Zhang said that he was overthrown by Li Linfu and almost lost his life. Zhang Jun became the prime minister, which was enough for Li Linfu to drink a pot, so the son avenges his father!"

Wang Jian secretly despised it. Why did he remember it correctly? He still told him this allusion.

Wang Jian silently patted the horse and said, "I still see you clearly!"

Yang Wei was very proud, stroking his beard and laughing. He suddenly remembered something and frowned, "But Zhang Jun is not from the military!"

Wang Jian had already said something, and said calmly: "Don't worry, sir. The condition required by the Holy Spirit to be born in the military is actually tailor-made for Yu Wenjing. If Yu Wenjing cannot become a prime minister, then the condition of being born in the military will be there is none left."

Yang Wei was greatly moved, "Fortunately, I have you as my staff, otherwise I wouldn't know what to say in front of the Holy Spirit today."

Wang Jian's heart moved, "Is your Majesty going to meet the Holy Spirit today?"

Yang Wei nodded, "Last night there was a decree from the inner palace, asking me to face the saint today. I don't know why?"

Wang Jian's thoughts changed and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, if the Holy One asks you about your attitude towards Yu Wenjing, I must remind you that this is actually the Holy One's test of you!"

Yang Hao was startled, "What are you testing for?"

"I'm testing whether you should put profit first or morality first. This is related to your future. If you give the wrong answer, you will really be demoted to a local official."

"Why?"

"Because Yang Guozhong is going to Beijing, your Majesty will definitely not want you to ruin Yang Guozhong's future, so you must be extremely cautious."

Yang Hao was not cautious, but became nervous first, "Then how should I answer!"

"You just tell the Holy One directly that Yu Wenjing has allowed his grandson to do evil and has a bad reputation in the government and the public. Cooperating with him will affect the reputation of the Yang family. I hope that the Holy One will consider it carefully. When appointing a prime minister, virtue must come first. As long as you answer like this, I promise So that you can stay in Chang'an safe and sound."

"Okay! I listen to you."

The carriage arrived at the door of Mrs. Guo Guo, and a large and gorgeous carriage drove out of the house. This was Mrs. Guo Guo's carriage. The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and a person was seen hiding his face in the carriage and slipped out, getting in in a panic. Inside a bullock cart parked nearby.

Wang Jian recognized it at a glance and it was Shi Jingzhong, the demon Taoist. It seemed that this guy came here last night to fool around with Mrs. Guo Guo.

At this time, a guard rushed forward on horseback, clasped his fist at Yang Hao and said, "Madam, please come over!"

Yang Wei nodded and said to Wang Jian: "I will take my wife's carriage into the palace. You go back! Have a good rest."

"If you do as I say, there will be no mistakes!"

"I see!"

Yang Wei got off the carriage, walked a few steps, and got on Mrs. Guo Guo's carriage. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the Daming Palace.

In the carriage, Yang Yupei's face was full of spring breeze. She was well nourished by Shi Jingzhong last night. She was holding a round mirror and applying thin powder on her face. She always had a bare face, but today she had to apply powder because she didn't want the emperor to She noticed something different in her complexion, and the emperor noticed that she was fooling around with other men. She would never think of being summoned alone again in the future.

"Second brother, Yu Wenjing may not be able to survive!" Yang Yupei said straight to the point.

Yang Wei frowned, "Is it because of the impeachment yesterday?"

"Things are not that simple. I met with the imperial concubine last night. The imperial concubine said that Yu Wenjing's grandson had an affair with a palace concubine and was exposed. The three palace concubines were all killed with sticks. Yu Wenjing's grandson touched Ni Lian, and even He didn't even survive until dawn, and he was beheaded in the prison all night long. The emperor hated Yu Wenjing deeply."

Yang Wei secretly admired Wang Jian's foresight. As expected, Li Linfu still had a backup plan. He sighed: "Then Yu Wenjing is really doomed. It would be good if he can save his life."

After Yang Yupei put on her makeup, she closed the mirror and said, "Do you have any other suitable candidates?"

"I recommend Zhang Jun!"

Yang Yupei felt a little strange, "Why do you have a backup candidate?"

"I learned that Yu Wenjing was impeached because of his grandson's crime, and I was worried that he would not have a chance. I also discussed with Mr. Wang for a long time, and we both agreed that a backup candidate should be considered. Zhang Jun is my ally, and I think he is the most suitable for the prime minister."

"Is Zhang Jun reliable?"

Yang Wei nodded, "His father Zhang said that he was overthrown by Li Linfu and almost died. I believe he must really hope to overthrow Li Linfu so that he can comfort his father's spirit in heaven!"

Yang Yupei was moved. From this point of view, Zhang Jun was indeed the most suitable candidate for the Yang family.

The carriage arrived at the Daming Palace and entered the harem directly from the left Yintai Gate. Yang Yupei took out a medicine bag and sachet and hung it close to her chest. Her whole body would exude a strong scent of medicinal materials.

Yang Wei secretly despised him. If he had known that he was going to face the emperor today, why would he fool around with Shi Jingzhong and start pretending to be sick now.

"Second brother, let me make it clear to you. Don't even mention the affair between Yu Wenjing's grandson and the palace concubine. Let's just pretend not to know. Your Majesty wants to save face."

"I see!"

The two came to the Linde Hall and waited for a while. Yuan Siyi came out and said: "The Holy One is here, you go in!"

The two of them often met here, and they were already familiar with the journey. They walked into the imperial study room and saw the emperor Li Longji sitting in front of the imperial desk drinking tea. He seemed not to be in good spirits.

Yang Yupei weakly stepped forward and offered a Wanfu saying: "I am here to see your majesty!"

Li Longji looked up and saw Yang Yupei applying powder on her face, and asked in surprise: "Why is the third sister applying powder on her face?"

"My concubine suffered from cold and ailments last night, and her complexion turned yellow. I was afraid that His Majesty would be displeased when I saw her, so I powdered her face. Please forgive me!"

Li Longji suddenly smelled a strong smell of medicine, and he immediately expressed concern: "Go to the palace and rest! Let the imperial doctor take a look."

"My concubine is just not in good spirits, but everything else is normal!"

Li Longji nodded. At this time, Yang Hao stepped forward and saluted, "See your Majesty!"

Li Longji sighed and said: "Shilang Yang, you should have heard about Yuwen Shangshu's grandson. What do you think?"

Yang Hao admired Wang Jian so much that he had expected everything. He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I just found out yesterday that the Yuwen family has a bad reputation in Chang'an, which really shocked me. In any case, I think it should be Virtue comes first, and I am clearly opposed to him being the prime minister."

Yang Yupei was stunned. When did the second child suddenly become enlightened and answer so well?

Li Longji was also a little unexpected. He thought that Yang Wei would try his best to defend Yu Wenjing. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Yang Wei actually knew what was right. Although Yang Wei was usually stupid, this was rare.

Li Longji nodded, "Yang Aiqing is right, morality should come first at all times!"

He asked Yang Yupei again, "Since we are opposed to Yu Wenjing, are there any suitable candidates? Have you discussed it?"

Yang Yupei immediately understood that the Holy One had already rejected Yu Wenjing, and she said slowly: "What do you think of Zhang Jun, the Minister of Punishment?"

"Zhang Jun is good and qualified to be a prime minister. The Yang family and Zhang Jun have a good relationship?"

Yang Yupei smiled and said: "We cooperated not long ago!"

Li Longji remembered that Zhang Jun's son was also involved in the Sun Jiliang case.

Li Longji said happily: "I know and will consider it carefully. Third sister, please go back to rest and recuperate first! I hope you will recover soon."

Yang Yupei glanced at him and hinted at him: "Your Majesty, maybe I will recover tomorrow!"

Li Longji's eyes suddenly trembled with enthusiasm. His affair with Yang Yupei made him appreciate it, and Yang Yupei's debauchery on the bed made him want to stop.

Li Longji smiled and said: "I look forward to your recovery tomorrow!"

He then said to Yang Wei: "I am going to change Aiqing's official position and become the Minister of Taifu Temple, which is more suitable for Aiqing!"

Yang Wei already knew yesterday that he had no hope of becoming the prime minister. The person who became the prime minister was Yang Guozhong, and he had to give up his position in the Ministry of Household Affairs to Yang Guozhong. Fortunately, he was not demoted to a local official.

He hurriedly saluted and said: "I obey your majesty's arrangements, but I am afraid that I am not capable enough and will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

Li Longji was a little impressed by this Yang Hao today, and he answered appropriately. He smiled and said: "As long as you know how to put morality first, you will definitely be qualified!"
