Chapter 791: Merging and Connecting (17)
"At our age, what else do we have to scruple about, we can scold if we want, and do whatever we want."
You Yuanfeng said with a smile: "It was rumored that you were sick and dying in the first two years, but now, Yang Daosi is gone, the first emperor is also gone, you old bastard is still alive, it seems that this is all a play you played, deceiving all of us." ”
While talking, he fiddled with the kung fu tea in front of him, poured two cups, and You Yuanfeng took one of them to Liu Ji.
Liu Yu picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and after drinking, put down the teacup and said silently to You Yuanfeng: "No one will joke with their own lives, two years ago, the old man was indeed seriously ill, the medicine was useless, and he almost died, but in the end he survived, and even the old man didn't expect it." ”
Although Liu Yu survived by luck, he was also half-paralyzed, and his body and mind were hit hard, You Yuanfeng silently looked at his emaciated figure, even if he didn't die that time, but a person in his eighties would not live for a few years.
You Yuanfeng shook his head: "Liu Wei, you are really tired of living in this life, why bother?" ”
Liu Jian knocked lightly on the table and motioned for You Yuanfeng to pour himself tea.
You Yuanfeng poured tea for Liu Ji, and then asked softly: "I don't understand, with your Liu Ji's character and style, you are not the kind of person who hesitates to do things, your Liu family's people and forces in Fengjing have almost dispersed, and now you are suddenly killing back and reorganizing your forces, why is this?" ”
Liu Jian said silently: "You should have guessed it, why bother the old man to speak?" ”
You Yuanfeng said lightly: "I want to hear you say." ”
Liu Wei was silent, and after a long time, he sighed deeply: "I originally thought that this world might be Zhao He's, but unfortunately, in the end, it was Zhao Xun who won the victory, and many people probably didn't expect it." ”
"Providence is like this, after all, it is not human."
"Perhaps."
Liu Wei said silently: "In the later period, the political power of the Left Prime Party has become the biggest obstacle and resistance to Zhao He's ascension, if the Left Prime Party continues to exist, it will only intensify the expansion of the Yang family's power, and it will also intensify the dispute between Zhao Xun and Zhao He. I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the final good death. ”
You Yuanfeng squinted his eyes and said softly: "It is said that before you made up your mind, you had a secret conversation with the former emperor and Yang Daohei, what did you say?" ”
"You're well informed."
Liu Yu glanced at You Yuanfeng and was slightly surprised, he actually knew such a secret thing.
You Yuanfeng said with a smile: "There is no impermeable wall in the world. ”
Liu Wei nodded, didn't ask more, and continued: "The first emperor found me and told me very bluntly that he had reached an agreement with Yang Daosi, and the first emperor guaranteed that the Yang family still occupies a dominant position in the court, and the position of the right minister is still held by the Yang clan. But as a need for reliance and self-preservation, the emperor promised Yang Daohei that Yang Daoan, the envoy of Shuzhou Jiedu, who had 50,000 elite troops, and after his death, the position of Shuzhou Jiedu envoy and military strength could be inherited by the Yang family, but they were not allowed to interfere in local government affairs. ”
You Yuanfeng suddenly said: "In return, Yang Daosi will lead the Yang clan and the right party, and on the issue of the crown prince, they will completely withdraw from it, and they will not support anyone, and they will remain neutral in the future struggle for the throne." ”
The secret conversation between Liu Wei and Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi, You Yuanfeng finally learned about it through secret channels, but what the three of them talked about is not known to outsiders, You Yuanfeng only has some guesses.
Liu Yu nodded: "You guessed very right." ”
You Yuanfeng finally understood everything, and said with a wry smile: "If this is the case, there is indeed no need for the Left Prime Minister Party to continue to exist." ”
If Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi reach a political agreement, then the next most important thing is to determine the position of the prince, and once the candidate for the prince is determined, after the prince takes the throne, the most important thing is to develop his own political power as soon as possible, there is not enough political power, there is no guarantee that he can succeed to the throne smoothly, Zhao Zhi has moved Yang Daosi, the biggest resistance, at this time, Liu Ji's party of the left minister has become another big obstacle, the reason is very simple, The mainstream political forces in the court have been divided between Liu Wei and Yang Daosi, the left and right parties, and there is almost no redundant political power. Therefore, Liu Wei suddenly retreated from the position of the left minister, and when he retreated, the entire left party was completely chaotic, and then, Liu Wei withdrew all the political forces of the entire Liu family from Fengjing, which eventually led to the complete dissolution of the left prime minister's party.
Later, the matter was very simple, Zhao Xun became the crown prince, with the support and help of Zhao Zhi's rights, he soon inherited the political power that originally belonged to the left prime minister's party, with this force, coupled with the right party and the Yang family led by Yang Daosi at that time, it became very low-key and retreated, which made Zhao Xun quickly stabilize his position as the crown prince, and laid a very solid foundation for the smooth ascension to the throne in the future.
You Yuanfeng finally asked: "You just said, in the later period, the political power of the Left Prime Party has become the biggest obstacle and resistance to Zhao He's ascension, if the Left Prime Party continues to exist, it will only intensify the expansion of the Yang family's power, and it will also intensify the dispute between Zhao Xun and Zhao He. I'm afraid that you won't even be able to get the final good death, is the political power of the leftist party you are talking about before or after you? ”
Liu Jian said silently: "After that." ”
You Yuanfeng's face suddenly had a contemplative look, he didn't ask anything, characters like him and Liu Ji, there were some things that didn't need to be said too much, and they all understood.
You Yuanfeng asked Liu Jian whether it was before him or after, from the sentence just now, he had already understood Liu Ji's intentions, Liu Ji obviously felt that Zhao He inherited the throne was much more suitable than Zhao Xun, if it was a long time ago, Liu Ji had this thought, then his city was too deep, it was terrifying, and it also deceived Zhao Zhi, such a person is a traitor, You Yuanfeng will not say a word to Liu Ji again, and send the guests immediately, but if it is later, the political power of the left party that Liu Ji said obviously means that after he withdraws, was inherited and mastered by Zhao Xun, so it can be guessed that in the two years since Liu Ji left Fengjing, the whole person's mind has obviously changed a lot.
