The change of mood can really greatly affect a person's reason, Yang Daolin said: "Binglin, sometimes, you have to know how to retreat, a road to the dark will only harm yourself." ”

Yang Binglin was dissatisfied: "Why should I retreat? ”

Yang Daolin shook his head: "After reading the things in your hand, you are making a decision." ”

The recuperation forest unfolded the second blank paper, and at a glance, his body shook violently, and his face suddenly had an incredible color.

There was still a row of nine names on the white paper.

Zhao Tong, Li Zhong, Wang Renzi, Yang Run, He Zhongkai, Yue Jiming, Zheng Renjie, Qin Anming, Liu Zhigu.

Yang Binglin held up the second piece of white paper and said in surprise: "The emperor actually wants to replace his father with Zhao Tong, the king of Qu, does he have the ability to do this?" ”

Yang Daolin said: "Don't be too surprised, in fact, your father was originally going to follow Liu Ji to pay tribute to the office, but the emperor's action this time is a bit big, he is afraid that once he retreats, the person who replaces him will not be able to stabilize the situation, and once the situation gets out of control, it will not be beneficial to anyone." ”

Yang Binglin was silent, he was not a fool, Yang Daolin was obviously in his words, this unstable factor was himself, if his father retired, the emperor would definitely select one person from the Yang family to enter the political hall out of consideration for balancing the political situation, this person is definitely not himself, Yang Run is very likely, if it is him, he can accept it?

The Yang family is a big family, and it is also a political group formed by gathering many forces, Yang Binglin's official position and ability may be much worse than Yang Run, but in this political group, Yang Binglin's status and the energy that can be exerted are far from being comparable to Yang Run. And before the situation is completely stable, Zhao Zhi never wants to see a chaotic Yang family, which will affect the political stability of the court.

It's also a bit ironic to say, Zhao Zhi is jealous of the Yang family, and the latter is the same, but sometimes, the two often have to do their best to maintain coexistence, and they really want to tear their faces, no matter who wins or loses, they will greatly damage themselves, and in the end, it is likely that they will lose both, and they will cheapen those who have been coveting them on the side.

Yang Daolin said softly: "These two lists, you should understand what they mean. ”

Yang Binglin was still silent, of course he understood what it meant, Liu Zhishi, without the checks and balances of the left minister's party, the Yang family is dominant, and there are already signs of controlling the government, Zhao Zhi will never let this situation continue to develop, so it is imperative to reintegrate the political forces of the court and reorganize the candidates for the prime minister of the political affairs hall, the first list, Li Zhong is the secretary of the military department, the servant and the left minister, Qin Anming, Xiao Zheng, Liu Zhigu, Liu Zhongyuan and others are the party henchmen, and it seems that they account for the majority of the number of ministers in the political affairs hall. But the right minister is still Yang Daosi, as long as he is still in this position for a day, whether it is Zhao Zhi or Li Zhong and others, they dare not act rashly, after all, Yang Daosi has been the right minister for so many years, and he has great merit to the country and the people, and his prestige is not not prosperous, even if it is Zhao Zhi, he must be polite to him.

As for the second list, it is even simpler, if the Yang family is unwilling to compromise and insists on protecting the position of Wang Renzizi and Yue Jiming, then Zhao Zhi's attitude will be tougher, and he will directly promote Yang Runjin into the political hall as the prime minister, according to the ancestral teachings, those of the same clan must not be the same Xiangguo, then, whether Yang Daosi wants to or not, he must automatically step down.

Yang Binglin looked at Yang Daolin and said, "If my father doesn't agree, will he, Yang Run, dare to call the shots?" ”

Yang Daolin said lightly: "Yang Run can't do it, so what about others?" ”

Yang Binglin was stunned: "The other thing that the sixth uncle refers to ....."

Yang Daolin glanced at him and said softly: "Yang Chengjiu's qualifications are no worse than yours, the number of years he has been an official in the local area is longer than yours, and his official reputation is very good. ”

Hearing Yang Daolin's words, Yang Binglin's face has changed, Yang Run may be good in the officialdom, but his status in the family is very low, even if Zhao Zhi intends to make him the prime minister, if the family does not agree, he will never dare to call the shots, Yang Chengjiu is completely different, he is his own half-brother, although he is a concubine, but if he enters the political hall first, his status in the clan will be greatly improved, and.... Yang Daosi is a concubine, in his generation, has set a precedent for the concubine to inherit the position of the patriarch, the number of the Yang family is thousands, there are many people who are better than themselves, the reason why no one dares to compete with himself for the position of the patriarch, in addition to being the only son of Yang Daosi, there is also the strong support of the mother Jiangnan Wu family, what they do, many people in the clan are very dissatisfied, but it has not yet formed a force, once Yang Cheng has been the prime minister for a long time, gather this force, it will be a very huge threat to himself.

If you really want to come to this point, in the face of opposition from yourself or your family, will Yang Chengjiu choose to obey?

After thinking about this, Yang Binglin's face had a trace of helplessness, and he sighed: "Everything I do is for the sake of the family, and there is absolutely no personal self-interest, why does my father reject me like this?" ”

Yang Daolin shook his head: "Your father is also for your good, he persuaded you, but unfortunately you don't understand." ”

Yang Binglin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If we can unify our opinions and gather everyone's strength, even if he is the emperor, I'm afraid he can't do whatever he wants." ”

Yang Daolin sighed secretly, and finally understood why the eldest brother was in a hurry to let him return to Fengjing, the relationship between their father and son has already had an antagonistic trend, if no one is in it to reconcile the buffer, for a long time, I am afraid that Yang Binglin will do irreparable disasters, he has a very good relationship with him, this middleman, he is very suitable, and listen to the meaning of the eldest brother, I am afraid that he will not be able to do this position for long, not Zhao Zhi wants to drive him away, but the old body, heavy and cumbersome state affairs, has made him more and more powerless, once he retires from the political hall, the family can't pick a suitable person to top no, when the time comes, the Yang family's position in the court will be very embarrassing, if it really comes to this point, by himself on top, it is a good choice, whether it is seniority or ability, he has this qualification, and he enters the political hall, whether it is Yang Binglin or others, there will be no resistance, after all, his age is also very old, they should understand, I'm just an excess, and I can't do it in this position for a few years, so I can really alleviate the internal contradictions of the family.

"Binglin, you take our Yang family too seriously, and the current emperor is too light, he has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and brought the declining country back on track, his personal prestige and ability, may not be comparable with Wuzong, but it is also far more than the three generations of emperors of Xizong, Yizong, and Pingzong, he is fully capable and powerful to completely annihilate our Yang family, but the price will be extremely heavy, he will not do this until the last resort, you are now in front, everything is contrary to him, the emperor is obviously impatient, He can't move the Yang family, but he can move you, if it really comes to that point, the whole family will completely break with the emperor for you? ”

Yang Daolin glanced at Yang Binglin deeply, and finally said: "If you really want to stick to the end and refuse to compromise, I'm afraid that some people will be willing to see this situation, and even secretly help you." ”

Yang Binglin's body shook slightly, closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and finally nodded, returned the list in his hand to Yang Daolin, and said silently: "What my father meant, I understand." ”
