Li Yi was a little helpless, and hurriedly smiled slightly: "Our brothers don't distinguish each other, they are confidants who can't be broken up with an iron rod, why are you talking about those boring things." ”

"The two envoys have worked hard from afar, Li has prepared a little wine, it is not a tribute, let's talk about it at the wine table, how about it?"

The two just excused themselves a little, and then gladly accepted.

At the banquet to entertain the two envoys, Li Yi frequently raised his glass to pay tribute to the two marshals of the neighboring domains, and talked about the customs and customs of various places. chatted and chatted, and talked about the important news of the imperial court.

He Ci, who was half-drunk, lowered his voice and whispered to Li Yi: "I don't know if my brother has heard that Zhao Xiang seems to be a little sick recently, and he is no longer a director." ”

"The emperor has always relied on Zhao Xiang, and he also has a headache about this, and he is considering who to succeed Zhao Xiang, but he doesn't know who can succeed him."

"My brother has been in the court for many years, so he must be more familiar with the inside story than me, in your opinion, who is the most likely among the people in the court when this is the position of prime minister?"

Li Yi smiled secretly in his heart, this kind of change of prime minister in the current dynasty, how can you worry about a small record of military affairs? Even if you know the inside story, you can't just tell you casually!

In fact, I already knew the historical trend of this period through the history of the five dynasties, and I also knew that Prime Minister Zhao Guangyi would die of illness in office this year.

And his eldest son, Shangshu Zuocheng Zhao Zheng, although he is only over forty years old, but because of his ability and political integrity, he is deeply respected by the public, and he is also deeply favored by Liu Yan, and it will not be long before his son will inherit his father's business and succeed him as prime minister, which is also an unchangeable fact.

With the help of a thousand years of knowledge and insight, compared with the people of this era, he can be called a prophet.

But to reveal such news in advance would be a bit sensational.

Li Yi smiled faintly and said: "Even a master like my brother can't guess it, my brother and I are in a remote and wild place, and the news is blocked, so I don't know it even more." I don't know what Brother thinks? ”

Unexpectedly, he still didn't give up on this word, and continued to ask inquiringly: "Brother is too modest, who doesn't know that you are a big celebrity in front of the emperor!" If you don't know, that's a bit of a stretch! ”

"Besides, even if you don't know who will succeed you, you should know who you are going to do. Why not just name a few and let us take a closer look? Even if it's an after-dinner conversation! ”

Li Yi smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this guy must be keen on this, he is really a small broadcast-style character, if he doesn't break the casserole and ask the end, he won't give up.

Or, just reveal a little information to him, so that he can know how popular he is in front of the emperor.

Li Yi pretended to be serious: "Is this a matter of the court? It has been several months since the younger brother came to Yunnan, and the specific situation is not very clear. ”

"However, the court was originally the most valued by the emperor, according to my experience, Zhao Xiang's eldest son Zhongshu Ling Zhao Zhao Zhao, Chongwen Yuan envoy Xiao Yixiao, the subordinate squire, the military department Shangshu Yang Dongqian Yang, the imperial historian Liu Jun Liu, and your Wang Dashuai are all very likely candidates, who will be the prime minister, I can't say this."

"Oh! My brother's idea is a bit interesting. Although the emperor has always trusted Lord Xiao, it is now the critical time for the emperor to vigorously and deliberately cultivate the king of Qin and prepare to become the prince, in order to prevent the family from becoming the majority, he will not put the people close to the king of Qin in the high position of the prime minister. ”

"And although Lord Yang Dongqian Yang has outstanding talents and abilities, I heard that he is not treated well by His Majesty at the moment, and he seems to be an outdated person, so my brother doesn't have to take him to heart at all."

"Although Wang Dashuai has strong qualifications and is quite militaristic, it is only because of his words that Wang Dashuai offended the emperor and was sent to Ning Yuan Road. It's only been a little over a year, and according to the emperor's temper, he won't be reinstated so soon! ”

"As for Lord Liu Jun Liu, although this person is vigorous and resolute, he is too rigid and harsh and lacks the means of scheming. It's just that relying on his father's shadow, the emperor gave him a little thin noodles. ”

"If you want to get into the position of prime minister, I'm afraid it's still a little worse."

"Hey, hey! Speaking of which, I privately think that Lord Zhao's moral and moral knowledge is praised by his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and it can be said that he is extremely popular, and the emperor is also very fond of him. ”

"So with the current situation, it is still very possible for Lord Zhao Zhao, who is still Shangshu Zuocheng, Runzhi, what do you think?"

Li Yi smiled slightly, neither nodded nor shook his head, and gave him a tacit acquiescence.

In fact, he has long seen that this guy is indeed clear-headed, unique-minded, and good at speculation, and the situation in the DPRK and China is actually clear.

On the other hand, this poor-mouthed guy who wagged his lips and puffed up his tongue is also a person who can't control his mouth, and he doesn't know when he will sell you.

Li Yi is actually not worried at all, even if there is any news that has attracted the attention of the imperial court, it is not from his own mouth that he personally said, the envoys of Zhenxiong Dao and so many people here can testify for themselves, I just need to gently push the responsibility.

You know, as the king of a country, the most annoying thing is this kind of person who spreads gossip. Whoever tries to get ahead of him and hold his pulse will not know how tragic the end will be.

He Ci was very discerning, and seeing that Li Yi was not interested in this, he stopped talking, but then he took the trouble to talk about his classmates.

But this Li Yi is not Li Yi, but where do they know about the things between their classmates, there is no way, Li Yi had to follow his topic vaguely to keep up with a few words, and chatted like this for an afternoon.

In order to let He Ci stop talking as soon as possible, Li Yi kept talking to him with cups, trying to get him drunk, so that his ears would be quiet and quiet.

Unexpectedly, due to the limited amount of alcohol in this guy, he basically stopped tasting it, and after more than a dozen rounds of continuous bombing, he had a little bit of alcohol, but he resolutely stopped drinking.

Hehe! Looks like this guy is still a bit self-aware.

finally looked forward to the end of the banquet, and Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alas! This clever guy, although it is a little annoying, but he also got a lot of news from his mouth, although it is true and false, but he finally understands some of the situation in this era.

However, this is shrewd, but he has no scruples in speaking, and there is one less door on his mouth, so he still has to guard against him in the future, and he may be sold by him at some point.

Such a big-mouthed so-called classmate and friend must not be close to him.

Yunnan is an eventful season, and the two envoys also know that they can't help much, and they have to send people to serve them here all the time, and they also know that they can't stay for a long time.

He Zi is an eight-sided and exquisite character, and this bit of eyesight is still valuable.

Therefore, after handing over the supplies, the two envoys immediately said goodbye to Li Yi and went back to resume their lives, so Li Yi no longer kept them, and sent them outside the house before returning.
