Zhang Jiuling left the Yang Mansion, and it seems unlikely that he will set foot here again in the future.

Zhang Jiuling and Yang Yun did not reach a consensus on political ideas, and the contradictions between the two sides were almost irreconcilable.

And at this time, Gaolis's suppression of Zhang Jiuling also began.

Gao Lishi couldn't attack Yang Yun directly, what he was most afraid of was that Yang Yun and Zhang Jiuling formed a party, so when the emperor was indifferent to Zhang Jiuling, he naturally had to find ways to get Zhang Jiuling out of the court, especially after hearing that Zhang Jiuling had visited Yang Yun, this idea was even stronger.

As long as Yang Yun has no manpower available in the court, Yang Yun alone cannot fight against him, under this principle, whoever is close to Yang Yun will be attacked by him.

Zhang Jiuling is the first, and Li Linfu is the second!

This is very understandable, Zhang Jiuling ranks second among prime ministers, and Li Linfu is still ranked after Yang Yun, and the danger is not the same.

Zhang Jiuling originally thought that even if he wasn't Zuo Xiang, he could still call for wind and rain in the court, but as Gao Lishi's fist slammed towards him, he found that he couldn't compete with Gao Lishi at all with his identity as a Zhongshu Ling.

Gao Lishi was ready to mobilize hundreds of civil and military officials to fire fiercely at Zhang Jiuling's negligence, but after a careful investigation, he found that Zhang Jiuling was too upright as an official, not to mention corruption, and his official affairs were also well organized, and the court did not suffer any losses.

couldn't start with Zhang Jiuling's own character and ability, so Gao Lishi pointed the finger at the people around Zhang Jiuling.

No matter how good Zhang Jiuling's character and talent are, and how correct his style is, his party formation is a taboo in Datang, and among those who he considers a party, there are many pig teammates.

As in history, the target of Gaolishi was Zhou Ziliang, the superintendent of the imperial history who was promoted by Zhang Jiuling when he was the left minister.

Among the people around Zhang Jiuling, Zhou Ziliang is an alternative, this person claims to be an upright person, but he is a big mouth who likes to talk casually, and after finding that Li Longji was addicted to Taoist techniques and couldn't extricate himself, he preached everywhere that the Tang Dynasty was going to die at the hands of today's son, he not only looked for death himself, but also had the meaning of catching all the people around him.

Datang doesn't have a word about literary prison, but casually slandering the heavenly family, slandering the current emperor who feels good about himself, and even causing a very bad impact, how can it be tolerated by Li Longji, who is becoming more and more dim?

Gao Lishi arranged for people to impeach Zhou Ziliang in the court, and then he took the playbook to Li Longji, so that Li Longji, who believed that he had the opportunity to become an immortal by the gods, was greatly enraged.

"Your Majesty, this son said that the Tang Dynasty will die at the hands of Taoists sooner or later under the governance of Your Majesty, and such a kingless and fatherless disciple should really be killed."

Gao Lishi was the initiator, but after all, it was the people below who played the impeachment, and he could only make a fuss about it, giving full play to his advantages as a close minister of the emperor, adding fuel and vinegar, and being sure to put Zhou Ziliang to death.

Of course, Li Longji did not want this kind of rumor to continue to spread, and all the ruler could think of was to rely on the public power in his hands to suppress such remarks.

Li Longji immediately ordered: "This person is talking nonsense and slandering the government, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if I don't kill him...... He was first imprisoned and interrogated in detail to see if anyone was instigating and instigating him behind his back. ”

The emperor's intention is not only to cure Zhou Zifor's crime, but also to investigate the cause of this incident and find out the people behind the scenes.

Isn't this in the hands of Colliers?

What Gao Lishi wanted was to use this incident to condemn Zhang Jiuling.

The emperor subconsciously thought that it was impossible for Zhou Ziliang to have such courage alone, and there should be someone behind him, so Gao Lishi could use the topic to play and target Zhang Jiuling.

Gao Lishi immediately sent someone to put Zhou Ziliang in prison, tortured him, and forced him to confess the mastermind behind him.

Anyway, the emperor wants to kill Zhou Ziliang, and now Zhou Ziliang's biggest role for Gao Lishi is to recruit Zhang Jiuling, and he will not hesitate to use any means.

Zhou Ziliang was imprisoned, Zhang Jiuling panicked, he thought that he was dealing with government affairs during the court, but he didn't expect that it might be folded in the hands of a supervising imperial historian who he personally promoted, in addition to secretly blaming Zhou Ziliang for his big mouth, he could only quickly find a way to make up for it.

But the problem is that now the people in the DPRK and China can't even see Li Longji's face, and Gao Lishi blocked the way of speech, making it clear that he was targeting him with this matter.

Zhang Jiuling suddenly remembered that there was still Yang Yun's way to speak, and at present, only Yang Yun, who could face the saint at any time, could save his career.

But Zhang Jiuling didn't want to come forward, so he secretly entrusted Zhang Yu and asked Zhang Yu to act as an agent to talk to Yang Yun about the matter.

……

……

Zhang Yu, as Yang Yun's official wife, behaved very restrained when she saw Yang Yun.

When I first met Yang Yun, the other party was just a Taoist priest who was valued by the emperor, and now he has become a person who can influence the situation, and even Zhang Jiuling has to come to the door for help when he is in trouble.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who could have predicted this kind of thing?

"Your Majesty is just blaming Zhou Yushi for talking nonsense, how can he take the fault on Zhang Linggong? Zhang Linggong can't help but be careful! ”

Yang Yun showed that he was ignorant of the world, and he didn't want to pull Zhang Jiuling in this matter.

No matter from which point of view, Yang Yun's keeping Zhang Jiuling in the court was a great obstacle to what he was planning, and what he was most worried about was that Zhang Jiuling sabotaged his plan to calculate Li Longji.

Zhang Jiuling is 56 years old this year, and Yang Yun would rather let him return to his hometown to recuperate in his old age than stay in front of him...... If he wants to be the biggest traitor in the Tang Dynasty, he can't allow a direct minister like Zhang Jiuling to exist in the center of the court.

Zhang Yu saw Yang Yun's indifferent attitude, looked at Yang Yun with a sad expression, and asked with a crying voice, "The master refuses to help?" ”

Yang Yun said: "Zhang Linggong has to sit upright, how can he be afraid of the villain's accusations?" In addition, thinking about it, he should also understand that the current situation in the court is not something that one or two people can shake, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if you want me to break the situation with a person who has no foundation in the court, it is not that I am unwilling, but it is really difficult to achieve. ”

"Understood."

Zhang Yu didn't force anything more, she had been instructed by Zhang Jiuling before she came to see Yang Yun, and there was no need to force Yang Yun to do anything.

On this issue, Zhang Jiuling is still personable.

After Yang Yun sent Zhang Yu away, he judged that Zhang Jiuling's era was over.

It is impossible for Gao Lishi to let go of this opportunity to attack his political opponents, and he will presumably launch a series of offensives next, and Zhang Jiuling will not be able to recover no matter what he does.

……

……

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhou Ziliang's case to implicate Zhang Jiuling.

Zhou Ziliang didn't confess anything, but he was promoted by Zhang Jiuling, which made Li Longji very angry, and now Li Longji really can't tolerate those loyal and upright ministers who oppose him, and after a royal decree, Zhang Jiuling was demoted to the governor of Jingzhou and left Luoyang within a time limit.

Many upright ministers in the DPRK and China deplored Zhang Jiuling's experience.

A lot of people want to come out and speak, but find that they can't do anything at all.

When Zhang Jiuling left Luoyang with his family, no one even came to see him off, and Yang Yun and his wife appeared in the pavilion ten miles outside the city.

"Zhang Linggong, this journey is difficult and dangerous, I hope you take care of your health."

Yang Yun still respects Zhang Jiuling.

In any case, Zhang Jiuling is a generation of famous ministers, and he is the last talented prime minister in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

This has nothing to do with who is the prime minister, the main reason is that the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the people in the DPRK and China are at ease, plus Li Longji is addicted to Taoist magic and lust after dealing with the prince's rebellion case, and he no longer puts his mind on the government like when he was young, which makes the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty worse day by day.

Without the Anshi Rebellion, there will definitely be other hidden dangers, but the Anshi Rebellion has accelerated the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Jiuling glanced at Yang Yun and Zhang Yu, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed faintly, turned around and got into the carriage with Zhang Zheng's support, and didn't even say anything else.

"The ancestors of the family are dedicated to the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Yu looked at his grandfather's slightly rickety back, and felt sad in his heart.

married and left the Zhang family, but her heart is still one with the Zhang family, and now her husband does not treat her as a real wife, which makes her feel even more like duckweed, without a place.

Witnessing the carriage slowly starting and driving into the distance, Yang Yun said: "If Zhang Linggong can devote himself to supporting the government, what is the difference? In the future, His Majesty will be grateful for his ability, and perhaps he will be recalled to the court. ”

"Will it?"

Zhang Yu wiped the tears on his cheeks, looked at Yang Yun, and while questioning this, he was also complaining that Yang Yun hadn't done anything.

Yang Yun did not answer Zhang Yu's question, and beckoned a carriage to take Zhang Yu back to the city, while he walked all the way back, wanting to think about something on the way.

……

……

Yang Yun only took Zhang Jingyan, a disciple, and came back from outside the city on foot, and it was close to noon at this time.

Yang Yun didn't walk fast all the way, almost two hours, and when he arrived at the city gate, he saw Princess Xianyi standing there, with a carriage parked beside her.

"Princess?"

Yang Yun looked at Xianyi, and for some reason, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Whether he planned to kill Li Ying or Concubine Wu Hui before, Yang Yun never felt guilty, he knew that he should not be soft on doing big things.

But on the issue of Zhang Jiuling, it was clear that Yang Yun was just standing by, but there was still a sense of guilt in his heart, and when he saw Princess Xianyi, this feeling was even stronger.

It's hard to understand!

Princess Xianyi walked over and asked in a calm tone, "Zhang Linggong is gone?" ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun nodded, he could feel that no matter how many evil things Concubine Wu Hui did in the court, at least Princess Xianyi was still very good in terms of dealing with the world, and she had a very good sense of justice.

Princess Xianyi said: "As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has done so many things to help the imperial court, even if Zhang Linggong has not been in the center for a long time, he is also a famous minister, why is he so desolate when he leaves?" ”

"The people in the DPRK and China are afraid of arousing someone's jealousy, so how dare they go out of the city to send them off?"

After Yang Yun finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Princess Xianyi, since the other party asked so, it was obvious that she had been to the farewell scene, or she had not gone in person but sent someone to ask about the situation.

Princess Xianyi frowned, as if she had something on her mind.

"Is there something the princess is doing here?"

Yang Yun looked at Princess Xianyi with a calm face.

Princess Xianyi's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and a rare smile appeared on her face, although it was a little reluctant, but this smile looked very relatable.

"I have already asked my father to let me become a monk, but my father firmly disagreed...... But in the end, he compromised and let me choose. ”

Princess Xianyi looked at Yang Yun in a calm tone, as if being a Dao Gu was a relief for her.

This matter is not a great secret to Yang Yun, Princess Xianyi has shown that she has a tendency in this regard.

Yang Yun remembered Wu Yuan's "analysis" of him, and tried not to talk about this issue, but he couldn't avoid the topic for a while.

"Congratulations."

Yang Yun found that he could only use such perfunctory words.

Princess Xianyi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she heard this, and said: "It's really rare to say congratulations from your mouth, but in the future, we will be Taoist friends, I don't understand anything in Taoism, I can ask you for advice, right?" ”

Yang Yun thought for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

……

……

The two of them walked together into the city, and although they were accompanied by a carriage, they preferred to walk.

It seems that the two have a lot of similarities in terms of personality, and Yang Yun feels more complicated in his heart when facing such a princess who is like a girl next door.

Princess Xianyi was much more cheerful because she had already determined that she could be a Dao aunt, as if her life had been sublimated, and her tone was very friendly when she spoke, and she was no longer hostile to Yang Yun.

"In fact, the imperial aunt has the loudest opposition to my renunciation, she thinks I have no potential to be a Taoist, maybe she thinks that the result of half a life of Taoism is to bear too many things alone, she wants to help me, but I don't appreciate it." When Princess Xianyi said this, she vaguely seemed to see through the world.

Overnight, this little princess grew up, and even her speech was so philosophical.

Yang Yun scratched his head and pretended to be childish: "Isn't it good to be a Taoist?" It's uninhibited, I think it's pretty good......"

Princess Xianyi said: "You, a Taoist priest, are no longer simply a Taoist priest, but everything still depends on the emperor's trust in the concubine, not on ......you."

Princess Xianyi seemed to deliberately belittle Yang Yun's achievements in Taoism, and deliberately teased her, but Yang Yun couldn't hear it.

Even if it was really nepotism that climbed to where you are today, what does it matter?

Princess Xianyi's face suddenly sank, and she asked: "After the death of my mother, I no longer have any extravagant expectations for my father, I just hope that he can govern the country well and not live up to the expectations of the Li people." ”

"Huh?"

When Yang Yun heard this, his mood was a little depressed.

Princess Xianyi said very emotional words, probably she felt that the biggest tie in the world was the blood relationship with Li Longji, she didn't want Li Longji to develop according to the current model and gradually become a dumb monarch.

But she also knew that the reason why Li Longji worshipped Taoism to such an extent had a lot to do with Yang Yun.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Is she trying to persuade me?" ”

Princess Xianyi said: "Eighteen brothers, his life is ruined, and now he is depressed all day long, I thought that he would forget that person with the passage of time, but I am afraid that he will live in the shadows for the rest of his life." I can't help him anymore. ”

Speaking of this, Princess Xianyi finally didn't want to go with Yang Yun, so she turned around and beckoned her car to come over.

Before getting into the carriage, he didn't say a word to Yang Yun.

At this moment, Yang Yun suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a lonely situation.

He has been in Datang for more than a year, and he has experienced too many things, and he doesn't want to recall them carefully, but the recent changes in Datang are actually related to his appearance.

"Do you really want to let Datang fall into endless turmoil for the sake of my ideals?" Yang Yun suddenly felt that he should reflect on his actions, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no clue, and he was stupid for a while.
