Ye Xianggao was stunned and looked at Li Tingji in disbelief.

If a few days ago, he had a reason to reject himself, then now, why is he still so stubborn?

You must know that things have come to this point, even if the Son of Heaven intends to forgive Li Tingji in his heart, he must always take into account the emotions of the courtiers, no matter what, it is difficult for Li Tingji to continue to stay in this position.

The reason why Fang Congzhe wanted to transfer Li Tingji to the Nanjing Ministry was precisely because of this idea, for the courtiers, this matter must have a result.

Instead of going to Nanjing to retire and say goodbye to the official career, it is clear that it is the best choice to go to the official now.

But why, Li Tingji still rejects himself?

Ye Xianggao believes that with Li Tingji's vision, he will not be unaware of his current situation, so the only thing left may be......

"Brother Li doesn't believe in the old man?"

With a frown, Ye Xianggao rarely showed a trace of anger.

There is no doubt that in the current situation, for Li Tingji, Zhishi is the best choice, but there is also a risk after Zhishi, that is, the arbitrariness of the recovery.

Generally speaking, most of the reasons for officials to return to their hometowns are due to the death of their parents, and in this case, the imperial court will reuse it after the period of filial piety has expired.

But Li Tingji's situation is different, he resigned and returned to his hometown, so if he wants to recover, not only does he need a suitable opportunity, but he also needs the nod of the Son of Heaven, and if they are close ministers like them, if they are too far away from the Son of Heaven, they will be forgotten by the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if Li Tingji wants to recover, he needs someone who can be by the side of the Son of Heaven, always speak good for him, and keep his impression in the heart of the Son of Heaven, so that when he encounters the right opportunity, he can be successfully recovered.

And now in the court, the closest to the Son of Heaven is the Imperial Party, and among the Imperial Party, Fang Congzhe regards Li Tingji as a great enemy, and will definitely not speak for him, Han Yi is now about to go to Suzhou, it is even more impossible, after all, only Ye Xianggao is left to help Li Tingji turn around in front of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Ye Xianggao naturally thought that the reason why Li Tingji was reluctant to leave was because he was worried that he would make a hindrance in the process of his recovery.

"Jin Qing is suspicious, how can the old man doubt Jin Qing!"

Fortunately, Li Tingji reacted quickly, and Ye Xianggao, who was about to get up, pressed back into the chair and said categorically.

However, Ye Xianggao was still angry, and he looked like Li Tingji would never give up without giving a reasonable explanation.

"It is true that what Jin Qing said is the safest way, and it is also the most suitable way now, the old man refused to enter the Qing because he had to do it, but today he refused to enter the Qing because the old man was unwilling to do it!"

With a wry smile, a glimmer of essence flashed in Li Tingji's eyes, Huo Ran got up and spoke.

With his words, the slightly decadent momentum on Li Ting's body dissipated, and was replaced by an indomitable sharp meaning, which suddenly made Ye Xianggao in a trance, and he suddenly felt that the high-spirited Li Tingji in the past was back again!

"Jinqing, the old man asks you, if the old man leaves, how will the court situation change, and who will take the position left by the old man?"

Ye Xianggao shook his head, sobered up from Li Tingji's terrifying momentum, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Naturally, it is Fang Congzhe, although Brother Li may be unhappy when he says this, but in any case, the old ministers of the Son of Heaven will always have a backbone in the court, and the Son of Heaven will not hand over Brother Li's position in the cabinet to others, among the imperial party, the old man is still young, not to mention Han Yi, the only person who has the qualifications to take over Brother Li's position must be Fang Zhonghan!"

In fact, even if you don't say this, people with a heart can also see that the Son of Heaven ordered Fang Congzhe to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy, in fact, there is already a meaning of being a candidate to enter the cabinet, and it is conceivable that as long as Li Tingji leaves, Fang Congzhe will take advantage of the situation and replace Li Tingji to occupy the position of cabinet minister.

"That's it, no matter whether the old man goes to the office or is transferred to Nanjing, the final benefit is Fang Congzhe, this abacus is too loud!"

Li Tingji sneered and spoke.

After a pause, the words dimmed a little, and continued.

"What's more, if today's son ascends to the pole, it is the time to change the day, the situation is changing rapidly, if the old man leaves at this moment, even if it is a few years later, the court situation has been decided, what can the old man do when he is old?"

"This ......"

Ye Xianggao was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

After all, he still didn't take into account the character of his old friend, everything is good, but he attaches too much importance to power, or is it because he is too young, so he can't feel the sense of urgency in his heart?

Li Tingji said very sincerely, and Ye Xianggao also understood it very clearly.

For example, today's son has just ascended the throne, it is the time to show his ambitions and rectify the situation of the dynasty, to put it bluntly, the accession of the Son of Heaven to the throne means a new round of division of forces, this time the division of forces, will affect the court structure in the next few years or even decades, it can be said that as long as he is still in power, there will basically be no large-scale division of forces, at this time, if Li Tingji leaves, then when he returns to the court, there will be only a little leftovers left for him.

And then there's ...... Ye Xianggao glanced at Li Tingji, who was full of unwillingness, and sighed softly in his heart.

If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to retreat like this!

Today's imperial party, although it is a three-legged stand, but it is headed by Li Tingji, once he leaves at this moment, Fang Congzhe will not hesitate to occupy his original position, Li Tingji has been in the countryside for several years, it is the time when the situation changes most drastically, and it is also the easiest time to be promoted.

It is conceivable that as the leader of the imperial party, Fang Congzhe will inevitably occupy the largest resources in it, one advance and one retreat, and when Li Tingji returns to the dynasty, maybe he will be under Fang Congzhe, how can this old friend, who has always been arrogant, accept?

"Having said that, Brother Li, stay in the green mountains, don't be rash!"

Although he knew that it was unlikely, Ye Xianggao still opened his mouth to persuade.

It is true that the current situation is too severe, Li Tingji has been in the mansion these days, and the reputation among Shilin has been extremely unbearable......

However, Li Tingji shook his head, his tone was slow and firm, and the glint in his eyes made Ye Xianggao feel a little chill in his heart.

"The way of being an official, how can there be anything that is not dangerous! The old man still said the same thing, Jedi ...... Only then can you survive! Fang Zhonghan has been calculating the old man for so long, it is time to teach him to see the old man's methods! ”
