Chapter 188: Awareness
Of course, Wang Yuan could hear that this laughter was mocking, which actually made Wang Yuan worry about the reliability of this source. Obviously, Yang Zhao is just using Ji Wen, if Yang Zhao really takes power one day, this Ji Wen is afraid that he will not even be able to touch the edge of the phase.
If he can feel this, this Jiwen may not feel it, and this is what worries people.
"If he has this heart, he will be able to use it for me, and who will know what will happen in the future? Let him dream. Yang Zhao laughed and spoke coldly.
Wang Yuan said: "What is the purpose of Ji Wen telling you about this? ”
Yang Zhao was surprised: "Shouldn't I have known about this in advance?" I should also prepare in advance, a large number of positions are about to be vacant, and I should recommend some people to His Majesty in advance. Otherwise, it will be monopolized by Li Linfu alone. I am anxious to consult with you, that is, to ask your opinion, which positions can be contested and which are not, this matter is quite particular. I don't want to go too far, it will make Li Linfu angry, so this matter must be carefully considered. ”
Wang Yuan understood what Yang Zhao meant, for example, after the fall of Li Shizhi, the position of Zuo Xiang would obviously become a position that everyone wanted to sit on, but if Yang Zhao wanted to fight, it would definitely arouse Li Linfu's disgust, which would directly lead to confrontation. And if it is some other positions, even if Li Linfu is unhappy, he is afraid that he will turn a blind eye and will not think that he has done too much.
Wang Yuan thought about it for a long time, but still decided to express the worries in his heart.
"Duzhilang, I still want to understand the real purpose of Jiwen's visit to Beihai, because this matter is a bit unreasonable. Think about it, Li Yong is the Taishou of Beihai, even if he wants to find his trouble, it is the Yushitai who takes the lead, and the relevant departments in the six departments send personnel to check, and send a Shicao from Jingzhao Mansion to investigate, do you think this is normal? ”
Yang Zhao was stunned, frowned, and said, "You reminded me like this...... It seems that there are some doubts. It is not without precedent for the Jingzhao Mansion Shicao to send an investigation, but it must be the personnel and cases related to the Jingzhao Mansion to be reasonable. And Li Yong has been in Beihai for seven or eight years, and it seems that it really makes no sense to send Ji Wen there. But...... It is possible that Givin did not investigate in a public capacity, but covertly. You know, Li Linfu must have some evidence, so he will send someone to investigate, and it is not without a purpose. ”
Wang Yuan said: "I'm not saying that Ji Wen can't be trusted, but for such a big thing, Du Zhilang must have a long mind." If Ji Wen went to secretly investigate, it would make sense, but if he thought about it carefully, if Li Yong really had any tricks in Li Linfu's hands, why should he be so sneaky? Maybe it's because I'm too careful, but I always feel like I'm a little bit unaware. ”
Seeing that Wang Yuan had repeatedly expressed doubts, Yang Zhao couldn't help but become cautious, and thought seriously with his wine glass: "However, what can Ji Wen do when he goes to Beihai except to find trouble with Li Yong?" Li Yong is a big mouth, although he is famous and talented, he likes to brag too much. It is also unknown whether Givin went to collect his outrageous statements as evidence to bring him down. ”
Wang Yuan was silent, this kind of speculation actually sounded reasonable, but it had no substantive effect, Li Yong was famous for his big mouth, even if he didn't have to go to Beihai, someone among the local officials would secretly report it, and sent Ji Wen to go, wouldn't this be a reminder to Li Yong to be cautious in his words and deeds, and how could he find evidence of Li Yong's so-called remarks. Could it be that Li Yong would be stupid enough to say something that shouldn't be said in front of Ji Wen. This matter is clearly contradictory.
"You mean, Ji Wen may not be looking for trouble with Li Yong, but what can Ji Wen do except Li Yong in Beihai County? Where the birds don't lay eggs, who is worth a trip to Giwin? Yang Zhao said.
Wang Yuan was also confused, how the whole thing could make sense, this is the key. Li Linfu must have hoped to bring down Li Yong, but it was definitely not Li Linfu's means to send unsuitable people and choose unsuitable methods.
"Wait a minute, I think of a person, this person is also in Beihai, but he is just an unknown person, will Givin go to find him?" Yang Zhao suddenly shouted.
"Who is it?" Wang Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Liu Ji, the former Zuo Xiao guard of the forbidden army, Cao, was transferred to Beihai County more than a month ago."
Wang Yuan was a little disappointed, this person was really unknown, and Wang Yuan had never heard of this name.
"Liu Ji's father-in-law is Du Youlin, a subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion, and Du Liangdi of the Prince's Mansion is Du Youlin's youngest daughter." Yang Zhao continued.
Wang Yuan was startled, raised his head and asked, "What?" Liu Ji and the prince are relatives? ”
"The two of them can be regarded as brothers-in-law. Liangdi is the second concubine of the crown prince, and it is precisely because of this relationship that Liu Ji got the position of Zuo Xiao's guard Cao, but I don't know why he went to Beihai to be a driver. ”
Wang Yuan's mind churned for a while, and after sitting for a while, he said in a low voice: "Du Zhilang, I'm afraid this matter is even bigger than we imagined." ”
Yang Zhao hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that this Jiwen is heading for Liu Ji, then everything will make sense." Before a month, Liu Ji was still in the capital, and if Ji Wen went to investigate Liu Ji's affairs in the capital as a Shicao of Jingzhao Mansion, it would not be too much. Questions about the selection of candidates can be explained. ”
Yang Zhao frowned and said, "You mean Ji Wen went to check on Liu Ji?" What's that for? ”
Wang Yuan said word by word: "Du Zhilang, Li Linfu is not only going to attack Li Shi, but also to deal with another person by the way." ”
Yang Zhao said dumbfounded: "You mean...... Prince? ”
Wang Yuan nodded slowly and said, "I'm afraid so." You and I both know that Li Linfu is actually not worried about Li Shizhi, his biggest fear is actually His Royal Highness the Prince. The reason why Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming died unexpectedly was not because they were the prince's party. Liu Ji is not only Li Shizhi's subordinate, but also a relative of the prince, and if he is investigated, he can be involved in two places, which is the best candidate. ”
Yang Zhao exclaimed: "This is too bizarre, what can Liu Ji give to the prince?" He doesn't have a good relationship with the crown prince and Du Youlin, and he doesn't have any skills, and his subordinates don't have the power to transfer troops, can he still be charged with wanting to abolish the establishment? ”
Wang Yuan said: "If we can guess Li Linfu's methods, do we still use them to worry about this?" All in all, I think Ji Wending is heading for Liu Ji, and I have this intuition. ”
Yang Zhao said: "Are you saying that Ji Wen's letter is a lie to me?" ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, one of the purposes of Ji Wen's visit to check Liu Ji is probably also to find Li Yong's handle." It is obviously much easier to ask Liu Ji to help find a handle. Ji Wen was not wrong when he said to check on Li Yong. It's called ambiguity, and you can't blame him. ”
Yang Zhao said angrily: "If that's the case, Ji Wen should die." Fortunately, I talked to you about this matter today, and if what you said is correct, it will not be a strong wind and rain, but a hail knife. Wang Yuan, what should we do. ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't know what to do, I originally wanted to explain that Zhe protects himself, but if Li Linfu really knocked down the prince and Li Shizhi, Li Linfu will be invincible." But at this time, it is not a good choice to come out of the blue. Forgive me for being distraught at this time and unable to give you advice. ”
Yang Zhao said silently for a while: "Everything is still speculation, let's not be busy taking action, just wait and see." At least for now, we're resting on our laurels. As long as His Majesty is here, Li Linfu will not dare to touch us. You must not miss a word in this matter, and if you leak a word, it will be a big problem, remember to remember. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand, you can rest assured." ”
The two of them drank and ate food with their own hearts, and the delicious food suddenly became tasteless in their mouths. Wang Yuan hastily filled his stomach and got up to say goodbye. Yang Zhao was also anxious to go out to listen to the truth, so he sent Wang Yuan out.
When he was about to go out, Wang Yuan suddenly turned around and said, "Du Zhilang, there is something I want to tell you." The maid beside Mrs. Qin Guo is called Qingyun'er, and I begged Madame to give her to me. But I later learned that Duzhilang also liked that Qingyun'er, which was quite embarrassing. I didn't know about this beforehand, otherwise how would I dare to rob people with Duzhilang? ”
Yang Zhao's mind was not on a woman for a long time, and he was only slightly surprised and smiled: "What is this?" It's just a maid, I said I wanted to give you ten or eight, you don't want it, it turns out that I also fell in love with Qingyun'er. This is called the hero sees the same thing, and even the woman he sees is the same. That's it, how can I want adult beauty, don't forget to call me when you drink the wedding wine another day. ”
Wang Yuan thanked him, Wang Yuan knew that this matter was actually very simple, although Yang Zhao was lustful, he would never take a maid to heart, these women were just his pastime.
The long street in the afternoon is a little lonely, and the spring sun in April is also very hot in the afternoon, and the sun makes people groggy. Wang Yuan, who had been running around all morning, drank a few more glasses of wine and couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, drowsy on horseback.
But Wang Yuan is actually very sober and entangled in his heart. He was struggling with a major issue, which was the conclusion he had reached after a conversation with Yang Zhao just now. Wang Yuan believed in his instincts very much, and this time the target of Li Linfu's attack must be at the crown prince Li Heng.
Then the problem is, he is the special deacon of Luo Yimen, and the prince promised that if there is no major crisis, he does not need to reveal his identity to report the news. And the matter in front of him is undoubtedly major news, just like when Li Xin'er escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion at the risk of being exposed, this matter is also urgent and significant.
Should the crown prince Li Hengmeng be in the dark, or should he report the news immediately and let the prince prepare early? Wang Yuan made a trade-off in his heart.
