Chapter 618: Imperial Eyeliner (Page 1/1)

Li Yi was slightly stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, damn me! When he comes to drink the wine, he drinks the wine! I'm idle and have nothing to count! Thinking of Zhong Xu's words that reminded him to pay attention to the impact that day, Li Yi instantly understood, his motive was indeed a bit unusual!

Lin Yi continued: "It was my father-in-law who presided over the wedding that day, and he was not included in the hands, so it is said that he is just an ordinary guest, so why count the banquet arrangers!" Thinking of our every move in Yunnan, the imperial court was well aware, and I doubted ......"

Li Yi nodded suddenly and said, "Why doubt it!" In my opinion, there must be an ulterior secret in this Zhong Xu. In the past few years, no matter how you look at it, it can be seen that the imperial court is quite familiar with our movements, and almost all the major and minor events that have happened in Yunnan have been understood by the imperial court. ”

"Although we didn't make any outrageous moves, even some inconspicuous little things, I'm afraid they will be infinitely amplified by good deeds, affecting the image of small things, if it causes damage to our great cause, it will be dangerous!"

When Lin Yi heard this, he shook his head and said: "From now on, the harm is that the operation of our government is not secret, even if it is more serious, we have no rebellious actions, forgive them for not finding a reason to blame us." ”

"What's more, since the seventh brother has been in charge of Yunnan, Zhong Xu has been transferred to the head of Ningzhou, and he has no way of knowing the core situation of Yunnan. I'm just worried about one thing, who is the person who can instruct Zhong Xu to spy on the transmission of Yunnan information. Who can make Zhong Xu willing to work for him. ”

"You must know that Zhong Xu used to be an official and a loyal person, and he was honest and never bent the law for personal gain, so he could do things for him willingly, this person's status must not be underestimated!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, the person who can make someone like Zhong Xu willing to serve him is either a vassal king or an important minister." The most influential vassal kings in the dynasty were the kings of Qin, Jin and Yue. In addition to the King of Yue, the King of Qin and the King of Jin are all dirty, and they are definitely not the objects that Zhong Xu is willing to rely on. And among the important ministers of the court, Wang Dingbao and Wang Ling are all speaking for us, how can they make trouble in secret. ”

"Thinking about it, I am afraid that the only ones who can drive the Zhong to continue are Liu Jun and Xiao Yi. These two people, Liu Jun served as a subordinate servant, with a high and powerful position, and his protégés and former officials were all over the world, so it was possible to make friends with Zhong Xu. And Xiao Yinai is the teacher of King Qin, as the Chongwen envoy of the five courts of the Inner Court, he has a huge influence on the emperor, and he is also a high-ranking official eunuch that scholars dream of, which is also possible! ”

Lin Yi pondered for a while, didn't say a word for a cup of tea, and after a few more turns in the room, he suddenly seemed to have a slight understanding, sat down on the chair in front of Li Yi, and muttered: "I understand, I understand, I see!" ”

Li Yi was stunned and said, "What does the sixth brother understand? Is there something else going on? ”

Lin Yi smiled bitterly as if blaming himself: "We have calculated everything, but in fact, there is still one person missing, hehe!" In fact, this person's weight is the greatest, and only he can drive Zhong Xu to do things for him like an arm. Who in our Han Dynasty can be bigger than him? ”

Li Yi was taken aback, and couldn't hide the shock in his heart and said, "Are you talking about the emperor and his old man?" How could he ......, oh! I remembered that Zhong Xu had been an envoy to the capital, and he had been personally received by the emperor, could it be ......?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "I can think of the emperor, or because when Lin Tong went to the capital as a deputy envoy, Zhong Xu was the envoy of the mission to Beijing, and later Lin Tong wrote a letter home, saying that he and Zhong Xu had been received by the emperor alone, and praised him and Zhong Xu. ”

At that time, Lin Tong was favored by the emperor and stayed, but Zhong Xu returned to Yunnan with the group, and then he was promoted two levels and served as the chief secretary of Ningzhou. But because this promotion was not abrupt, with the situation just after the successful counterinsurgency at that time, even two or even three levels of promotion abounded, so his promotion was not conspicuous. ”

"And the reason why I thought it was the emperor was that for a considerable period of time after the rebellion in Yunnan, Yunnan was a dispensable piece of chicken ribs, and no one took Yunnan seriously, and they would not go to great lengths to plant their eyes and ears in Yunnan."

"And Zhong Xu has never taken half a step out of Yunnan since he was sent as an envoy to the capital, even if the King of Qin and the King of Jin pay attention to our Yunnan, that is, in the past few months, they are secretly sent cronies to lobby, I am afraid they will not be able to move Zhong Xu's strong principled mind."

"And what we do know is that for more than two years, the imperial court has already been aware of us, and at this point in time, that is, after Zhong Xu's envoy returned. Therefore, more than two years ago, only the emperor had this demand for our movements, and only the emperor could make Zhong Xu die to act as his eyes and ears. Hey! We can't afford to offend the owner chosen by Zhong Xu! ”

Li Yi nodded silently, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. Since ancient times, there has been no one who has not been suspicious, which is also due to his position. So many people in the world covet this throne, of course, there is its attraction, with supreme power and the power to take and take away, the whole world is not the king's land, the coast of the land is not the king's minister, in their own jurisdiction, they can freely control their own fate and the fate of others, this cannot but be said that this is the greatest temptation in the world.

Even if Li Yi is the person he admires the most, he can't completely put his mind at ease, or he wants to keep abreast of Li Yi's movements and observe whether he is the minister of Wang Zuo in his mind, which is undoubtedly very important to him and his descendants.

The recent example illustrates this problem vividly. At the beginning of last year, Xu Zhihe, the powerful minister of Wu State, abolished Yang Pu, the queen of Wu, renamed himself Li Yu, and called himself a descendant of Li Tang, so he established himself as the emperor of Tang State, known as the Southern Tang Dynasty in history, and Li Yu was also the grandfather of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This is the bloody reality that happens around us, improper use of people or the loss of power, and the final outcome of their children and grandchildren is undoubtedly quite miserable. With Liu Yan's wisdom, how could he not see the drawbacks in this regard, so he observed himself in many ways, and his purpose was self-evident, which also showed that he had already entered Liu Yan's sight, but he didn't dare to make a final decision.

But it is also possible that there is another situation, that is, Liu Yan is carefully observing whether Li Yi is a threat to his descendants, which is really impossible to know.
