Li Linfu realized that through conventional means, he could not shake the status of Colliers.

If you want to take the position, you must take the sword sideways, just like Yang Yun to take the Taoist route for a detour, and now Li Linfu has Yang Yun as a son-in-law, and he will be the first to get the moon near the water, of course, he will want to continue the correct approach in line with the emperor's wishes.

As long as Li Longji is brought out of the closed palace, Li Linfu will have more opportunities to meet the saints, win the emperor's trust, and gradually gain the strength to compete with Gaolishi.

From this point alone, Yang Yun can fully feel that Li Linfu has a flexible political mind and a variety of flattering methods, which is also an important reason why he can be in a high position in history.

"What does the master think about this?" Li Kong'er frowned and looked at Yang Yun, no matter how good her father's plan was, if there was no Yang Yun's cooperation, everything would be a blind job.

It is impossible for Li Longji to agree to Li Linfu's request casually, but if Yang Yun goes to say it, the effect will be very different.

Yang Yun nodded and said: "It is also in the interests of the Taoist sect to let Your Majesty hold more Taoist activities and celebrate with the people, and I have no reason to refuse." ”

Li Kong'er's face was slightly soothed, and she said, "When the concubine goes back, she will tell her father truthfully, and many of the details will be discussed by the master and her father." ”

In this way, a simple alliance was completed through Li Kong'er's threading of the needle, and Yang Yun was ready to form a party with Li Linfu, who was like an old fox, and the two of them would work together to fight against Gao Lishi, who seemed to be as unshakable as Mount Tai.

After finishing the matter, Yang Yun said: "If Madam is fine, go back and rest early, I have other things to do." ”

Yang Yun's meaning was very clear, and asked Li Kong'er to leave.

Li Kong'er looked at Yang Yun with strange eyes, as if to say, we are husband and wife, what do you mean by driving people in the middle of the night? Besides, I'm still such a delicate beauty, aren't you tempted at all?

"Ma'am, please."

Yang Yun met Li Kong'er's stubborn gaze with a hint of confusion, and nodded heavily, he knew that it was not easy to make this woman succumb, and now she came to lobby for the family's affairs, so she did not hesitate to serve her life.

But if it was just a personal exchange, Li Kong'er would definitely not have a good look at him.

Li Kong'er gritted her teeth, finally suppressed the surging anger in her heart, still pretending to be virtuous, bowed and said in a harmonious voice: "The master rests early, and the concubine retires." ”

Immediately, Li Kong'er left the small courtyard.

After Li Kong'er left, Wu Yuan came in through the back door and looked at Yang Yun with admiration in his eyes.

Li Kong'er's appearance can definitely rank among the top three among the women Wu Yuan has come into contact with, but it is such a beautiful woman, Yang Yun actually disdains it, which is really admirable.

"You stay at home."

Yang Yun said to Wu Yuan, "It is very likely that there will be people in the house who have been coming to find trouble recently, if you feel that it is not difficult, you will deal with the matter on the spot." ”

Wu Yuan asked puzzledly: "What does the master's so-called handling mean?" ”

Yang Yun said: "In short, no one can spy on the real situation in the yard, let alone let people find out that I am not there at night...... If you really can't stop the troublemakers, you can deal with it yourself, and you don't need to ask me for special advice. ”

Yang Yun felt that in the future, he was likely to become the target of public criticism, and he needed to make arrangements in advance.

The three camps in the Americas have settled down for the time being, so there is no need to worry too much, but the atmosphere in Luoyang is tense and weird, and he decided to leave his right-hand man Wu Yuan in Luoyang, lest he be served in his backyard when he is working hard in the Americas.

……

……

Yang Yun met with Li Linfu the next day.

The two did not contact each other on a formal occasion, but waited for Li Linfu to come out of the palace after the dismissal, and met at a teahouse in Beishi at sunset in the afternoon.

Yang Yun came alone, while Li Kong'er was dressed in a Taoist robe and accompanied by Li Linfu.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I have always heard that you have entered the palace to face the saint, especially after nightfall, you have been repeatedly summoned, it seems that Your Majesty has great trust in you, congratulations."

When Li Linfu mentioned this, his expression was full of envy, after all, he didn't get the opportunity to face the saint now.

Li Longji is obsessed with Taoism, especially during the period after the death of Concubine Wu Hui, he almost does not ask about court affairs, and it seems that the prime minister of Niu Xianke is handling all the affairs of the court, but recently, Niu Xianke has rarely discussed political affairs with his colleagues, especially if he does not come to ask Li Linfu's opinion, he basically decides in a word, and the person standing behind him is naturally Gao Lishi...... Now the power has been concentrated in the hands of Gao Lishi, who has the power to approve the recitals.

Li Linfu, as a former duplicitous, has expressed loyalty to Gaolis, but he has never been trusted by Gaolis.

What Gao Lishi now wants is a mediocre person who obeys orders, and a professional politician like Li Linfu who is good at drilling and has brains is not what Gao Lishi needs, so Li Linfu is gradually losing the opportunity to participate in policy decision-making, and the road to progress for him and his henchmen is artificially blocked, which is the most depressing time in life.

And at this time, the only person who can see the emperor from time to time like Gao Lishi, and even get the emperor's trust, is no one else except Yang Yun.

For Datang officialdom, Yang Yun is indeed a novice, and Gao Lishi will not hand over any power to him; But in front of the emperor, Yang Yun was able to enter and leave the palace gate freely, and was favored by Li Longji, who could express his opinions at will, which made Yang Yun have convenient conditions that other courtiers did not have.

Yang Yun said: "Your Majesty just often asks about Taoist matters, and then there are things involving my sister that may summon me to the palace to ask for advice, Li Xilang don't think that Your Majesty will inquire about court affairs, it has nothing to do with me." ”

This is also an attitude towards Li Linfu, that is, his indifference to politics is not only to make a stand, but also to paralyze the other party, making Li Linfu feel that he may really not want to develop in the political arena.

"As a royal historian, the court's affairs, large and small, the virtuous son-in-law can inscribe with His Majesty, this is your due right."

Li Linfu did not show any disappointment, but patiently guided, "If you don't understand some aspects, you can ask Lao Yu directly, Lao Yu is involved in all the affairs of the DPRK and China, and what the Imperial Doctor should do, Lao Yu may know better than you." ”

Li Linfu wanted to use his political insight to influence Yang Yun and make Yang Yun useful to him.

But in fact, he had already expressed similar opinions a long time ago, but he also knew that Yang Yun was not so easy to be accepted.

Yang Yun shook his head and said: "In his position, the title of Imperial Doctor is just a kind of courtesy to me by His Majesty, a false title of honor, how can I not know how to advance and retreat as a courtier?" If it is too much involved in court affairs, Your Majesty will probably not have much concern for me......"

Li Linfu's face was slightly embarrassed.

Obviously, he could guide Yang Yun into a vicious wolf in the court that bites people indiscriminately and help him to ascend to the throne, but now Yang Yun just doesn't want to ask about the court.

The more this is the case, the more suspicious Li Linfu is.

"But Li Xilang's proposal to let His Majesty ask more about Taoism is very much in line with my thoughts...... If Your Majesty can take the opportunity to do more Dharma meetings and pray for the peace of the country and the people, it may make the people more attentive to the court. ”

While Yang Yun rejected one of Li Linfu's proposals, he agreed with another.

Li Linfu's heart immediately became eager: "The foresight of a virtuous son-in-law is admirable, and so is the meaning of old age. ”

Yang Yun looked at Li Linfu, this old boy is old and decayed, is it showing that he is old and has no intention of fighting?

"Virtuous son-in-law, what about the meaning of decay, is that you directly use the content above to speak."

Li Linfu handed over a scroll in due course, which was somewhat similar to the list of available people he had given Yang Yun before, and seeing Yang Yun looking at it with interest, he added, "Your Majesty's understanding of Taoist affairs is far inferior to that of the virtuous son-in-law, and the virtuous son-in-law may wish to use his expertise to tell His Majesty about the auspicious ...... in this world."

Yang Yun opened the manuscript and looked at it carefully.

Li Linfu did not reveal anything, he said that he wanted to guide the emperor to give more insights through Taoist things, and at the same time improve his status in the court, but through those folk auspicious rui that could not exist at all as an introduction, he proposed that one day Li Longji would fly to become an immortal.

This is Li Longji's highest dream.

If it weren't for Gao Lishi's efforts to obstruct it, I am afraid that Li Linfu would not have used Yang Yun as an intermediary at all, and he would have gone to play with Li Longji, and Li Longji would most likely have happily adopted it.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you see, since the beginning of this year, there have been more than a dozen records of auspicious rains falling from heaven in various places, as well as various heavenly divine stones, with the words 'flying dragon in the sky' and other handwritings on them, which clearly means that Your Majesty will become a god?"

Li Linfu explained to Yang Yun with a smile.

Li Linfu said happily, sure that Yang Yun would believe these things, after all, Yang Yun was a Taoist family.

But I don't know that Yang Yun has never believed in these nonsense.

Yang Yun pretended to be very serious, read every so-called auspicious rui, and finally shook his head with a smile, and said: "These so-called auspicious ruis have never been verified, and they can't be counted. ”

Yang Yun closed the scroll, meaning that I would not talk to Li Longji about these illusory things in my own name.

Either you report it, or you don't report it at all.

Li Linfu's face turned red and white for a while, looking very embarrassed, and sighed: "If the virtuous son-in-law doesn't say that you found out, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't accept it, and there will be people attacking you......"

What Li Linfu is worried about is not that Li Longji does not believe it, but that Gao Lishi is obstructing it.

He can arrange so many auspicious things, and Gao Lishi can naturally find someone to sabotage, which makes the emperor suspicious.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "What kind of auspicious rui am I going to show, as long as I give Li Longji some spiritual guidance, let him indulge in this way, see the image in his mind, everything can be counted, and use so many flawed fake auspicious rui?" ”

Yang Yun said: "Then Li Xilang will go back and wait for the news first, and I will ask Your Majesty to hold a Taoist Dharma meeting in other ways...... Li Xilang, please go back. ”

Before he could say a few words, Yang Yun began to drive people away.

Li Linfu was stunned, he had never seen Yang Yun so strong, no matter how he said that he was also the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the three grades of the Tongzhong Shumen, plus the silver Qingguanglu doctor, the dignified prime minister of the dynasty, and also Yang Yun's nominal father-in-law, Yang Yun was very rude to do this.

But then he was relieved, the more this happened, the more he felt that Yang Yun was easy to control.

If Yang Yun repeatedly shows compliments to him, it will only make him feel that the other party has ulterior motives and needs to be careful.

For Li Linfu, who is an old fox himself, he prefers to see the reckless appearance of others.

"Then the old man will go back and wait for the good news of the virtuous son-in-law."

Li Linfu showed a humble appearance and took the initiative to salute Yang Yun to say goodbye, "Kong'er, you are now a woman of the Yang family, you should serve the national teacher well, he is the stable hope of my Tang Dynasty, don't let your father down." ”

Li Kong'er's cheeks tightened, and he replied with a slight "um".

……

……

In Yang Yun's opinion, Li Linfu, the old fox, is too cunning, and he can only cooperate with him for a short time, and in the long run, he may be an even more dangerous opponent than Gaolis.

After Yang Yun discussed with Li Linfu, he hurriedly said goodbye, and after coming out, he looked around, but he didn't find anyone watching, which was a bit too calm.

"Colliers has recently sent so many people to my home and residence, and I don't feel at ease when I think about it, why don't you see the spies he sent now?"

Yang Yun couldn't figure out how Gao Lishi wanted to deal with him now, so he could only do it according to his plan first, so as not to respond to all changes.

That night, he took Yang Yuhuan out and told Yang Yuhuan about cooperating with Li Linfu by the way.

Yang Yuhuan asked puzzledly: "Shiro, Li Xilang is your father-in-law, you should have worked together in the court and the central government, and you should be united in the external ...... If you think that if you cooperate with him and can press down on the powerful ministers of Gaolis, you will have to do it, and my sister will not object. ”

Yang Yuhuan doesn't have much political acumen, she is completely dependent on Yang Yun now, and she doesn't know what kind of colonization Yang Yun is doing overseas, she just thinks that Yang Yun is planning everything for her.

"Sister, about your pregnancy, you need to think about it in the long run, if it is based on the previous Majesty...... If you go to see your sister, then after more than a month, your sister should have a little pregnancy reaction, and after that, her sister's belly will slowly grow. Yang Yun thought of another very important thing, which was to disguise Yang Yuhuan's pregnancy.

Yang Yuhuan asked with concern: "Will my sister's belly really get bigger by then?" If some imperial doctor comes to check the pulse, will it show clues? ”

Yang Yun shook his head and said, "No." ”

"What about the kids? When my sister gives birth, how can I find a child to replace? What if a midwife is arranged in the palace? ”

Yang Yuhuan was very thoughtful in this matter, and actually thought of the issue of midwifery.

It seems that women think a lot about giving birth to children, and even without Yang Yun's too much guidance, Yang Yuhuan can think of many details.

Yang Yun said: "The child's problem, my sister doesn't have to worry, I will find it for my sister, as for the delivery, I will keep an eye on the whole process, since it is all fake, then when the delivery will be determined by us...... When the time comes, I will let people protect my sister throughout the whole process and not let people see the flaws. ”

"You're going to protect me all the time? You little villain! ”

Yang Yuhuan suddenly thought of something, his face turned red, and he cursed.

Yang Yun probably guessed that Yang Yuhuan should have thought that the process of giving birth to a child was controlled by Yang Yun, and her daughter's family was still a little shy, but Yang Yuhuan also knew that she was a fake pregnancy and a fake child, so it can't be said that Yang Yun would not be allowed to participate, if Yang Yun was not present, then how could she ensure that the whole process would not be discovered?

"At that time, my sister will treat it as a tumor in her stomach, and it will be fine after a while, there is no hidden danger to my sister, just be a fake to deceive the people in the palace."

Yang Yun comforted Yang Yuhuan from being too anxious.

Yang Yuhuan looked very confident: "I'm not worried about this at all, I believe in my brother's ability, as long as I can make the old emperor think that something really happened to me...... Whether my sister can successfully give birth to the prince this time and ascend the throne in the future depends on you, my younger brother......"
