(Two in one, today's time is in a hurry, let's make do with it)

When Xuanzong's words fell, Li Linfu didn't even need to show a signal, and the opposition voices of the officials attached to him were already clamoring, and it seemed that the opposition accounted for most of them.

Yang Zhao sneered and was silent, he wished that the more people who opposed it, the better, with Xuanzong's temperament, the more noisy these people who looked at Li Linfu's eyes and acted acted, the more they would arouse His Majesty's disgust. One of the things His Majesty dislikes is being forced by everyone to do something, which Yang Zhao hates.

Sure enough, Xuanzong frowned and shouted, "What are you doing in a mess? Did I ask you? ”

The crowd hurriedly shut up.

Xuanzong said: "Let's listen to the opinions of the two Xiangguo. ”

Li Linfu said in a deep voice: "The old minister also knows that Wang Yuan is a talent, but this is not to write poems and essays but to investigate serious cases, Wang Yuan is afraid that he will not be competent." ”

Xuanzong nodded and turned to Li Shizhi, Li Shizhi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Wang Yuan is not a suitable candidate, and the minister has a suitable person in his mind." ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "Li Shizhi, what I asked was whether Wang Yuan was competent, not whether you had a candidate. You can only choose between Wang Yuan and Luo Xizao. ”

Li Shizhi's wishful thinking is to arrange his own people to investigate the case, but obviously there is no chance, but if he chooses between Wang Yuan and Luo Xizao, the answer is self-evident, although he has always been dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, but compared to Luo Xizao, Wang Yuan is much better. What's more, Wang Yuan once had a relationship with himself, and perhaps Wang Yuan could remember the past and use it for his own use.

"If that's the case, the minister thinks that Wang Yuan is more suitable than Luo Xizao, and the investigation of the case does not rely on fighting and killing, but to observe the details and think carefully. Besides, I also agree with the points that Yang Duzhilang just said, there is no deep interaction between Wang Yuan and the ministers of the court, especially with Li Yong, there is no relationship with Li Yong, and there is no likes and dislikes without a relationship, which is the premise of justice. "Li Shizhi.

Xuanzong nodded and said, "Okay, one of the two Xiangguo supports and one opposes, and the result is not unexpected." It seems superfluous for me to ask the opinions of my subordinates again, so let's ask the opinions of the people around me, Lux, do you think it is appropriate for Wang Yuan to go? ”

The tall Gao Lishi waved the dust in his hand and said lightly: "The old slave thinks that it is appropriate for anyone to go, provided that he must handle the case seriously and cannot cheat for personal gain." ”

Xuanzong smiled: "Lux, did you answer me." ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Gao Neijian actually thinks that Wang Yuan can do it, he said that it is appropriate for anyone to go, and he does not feel that Wang Yuan is not suitable." ”

Yang Shenjin said to Yang Zhao in a cold voice: "But according to what you say, Gao Neijian has no intention of opposing Luo Xizao. ”

Yang Zhao pretended not to hear it, and pointed the back of his head at Yang Shenjin.

Xuanzong looked at the people around him, except for Gao Lishi on the right, standing on the left was Chen Xuanli, the general of the forbidden army who was holding his sword and standing majestic. This is Xuanzong's hardcore henchman, it was this Chen Xuanli who led his soldiers and horses to follow him to raise a coup d'état to kill Empress Wei and Princess Anle, snatched the Tang Dynasty back from the hands of women, and paved the way for his smooth ascension to the throne. In the past 30 years, Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi have become the irreplaceable and most loyal courtiers in Xuanzong's mind, and Xuanzong attaches great importance to their opinions.

"Chen Xuanli, do you think Wang Yuan is the right person?" Xuanzong asked.

Although Chen Xuanli is old and has white hair, his waist is straight, his voice is loud, and his spirit is no less than that of a young man.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wang Yuan is competent."

"Oh?" Xuanzong was very surprised that Chen Xuanli had such a clear attitude, and everyone in the hall was also a little surprised.

Wang Yuan, who was standing in the corner, knew that Li Fuguo must have done Chen Xuanli's ideological work, and it seemed that Li Fuguo's ability was not trivial, and people like Chen Xuanli could speak, and he could move him, which was not an easy task, because Wang Yuan heard the rumors that many people were ruthlessly scolded for touching nails in order to win over Gaolishi Chen Xuanli, which also included many heavyweights in the court.

"The old minister is not right about people, this Wang Yuan old minister has not even met a few times, but His Majesty can not only summon him as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but also recently added the position of serving the imperial history, obviously His Majesty recognizes his ability. And the old minister is most annoyed by someone who says that he is inexperienced and that young people are not reliable. When the minister followed His Majesty to rectify the chaos, he was just a Guoyi lieutenant in his early twenties who had not experienced any major events. If you judge things by age and experience, Your Majesty would not have entrusted you with important responsibilities back then. Young people have the advantages of young people, they are full of momentum, their brains are flexible, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so the minister feels that it is not a big problem to have Yang Shangshu as the leader, supplemented by Wang Yuan, and it may have a different effect. ”

Xuanzong was reminded of the eventful years of the past by Chen Xuanli's words, saying that he was only thirty years old and less than the age of high spirits, and when he launched the coup d'état, he relied not on foresight, but on the momentum of becoming a benevolent if he did not succeed. Those who followed him were also some young generals. Later, I thought about it, if it weren't for this momentum, there would be today's glorious scene. Thinking about it this way, I don't think Wang Yuan's qualifications and age are any obstacles.

"Even if you say so, I will be relieved, it's just that, I also have expectations for Wang Yuan, since this is the case, let Wang Yuan and Yang Shenjin go to Beihai County to investigate the case together. Where is Wang Yuan? ”

Wang Yuan appeared from the corner, his face calmly under the gaze of the ministers to walk up to the throne and bow down, he could feel many murderous eyes staring at him, including Li Linfu's seemingly smiling but cold eyes.

"Wang Yuan, it's rare for everyone to be so optimistic about you, you don't want to disappoint everyone. I went to Beihai County to investigate the case for Yang Shenjin's deputy, you have to follow Yang Shenjin to learn more and watch more, do your duty, and find out the matter of Beihai for me, do you understand? Xuanzong spoke majestically.

Wang Yuan said: "The minister knows, and the minister will do his best." ”

Xuanzong nodded, turned to Yang Shenjin and said, "Yang Shenjin, this case is led by you, and you and Wang Yuan must cooperate closely to find out this case." I hope you can give me a good explanation. ”

Yang Shenjin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is on guard, the minister will definitely find out the truth about this case, if Wang Yuan has any mistakes, the minister will also tolerate it first and not worry about him." But the minister must make it clear to His Majesty that since the minister is the leader of the investigation, he hopes that others will interfere less and just listen to the minister's dispatch. If someone puts obstacles in the way for His Majesty to find out about this case, the minister will never tolerate it. ”

These words were obviously a warning to Wang Yuan not to take the lead, Xuanzong also knew what he meant, and he didn't want to be led by Wang Yuan, after all, he was still not very at ease with Wang Yuan, so he nodded and said, "That's natural." Wang Yuan, can you hear clearly? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister knows the proportions, and everything is focused on investigating the case." ”

Xuanzong nodded, instructed the draft, and added the names of the case investigation envoy and the deputy case investigation envoy to Yang Shenjin and Wang Yuan, and went to Beihai County on the same day.

The early dynasty dispersed, and the ministers left one after another, and today the early dynasty not only had a major event, but also made Wang Yuan the focus of attention. Many people have a premonition that this is a storm that is coming, whether to put in the risk or stay away from this matter immediately, but safety first, everyone is thinking about it. And this Wang Yuan was suddenly pushed to the forefront, but it was unexpected. When Wang Yuan was a blockbuster before, it was because of his outstanding poetry.

However, in the eyes of many officials, people with outstanding poetry and writing often do not make achievements in officialdom, which has long been verified by many people. Even if Wang Yuan was recommended by Yang Zhao to enter the Hanlin Academy, people were not optimistic about his career. Li Bai is the best example. But now it is obvious that it is not only the Yang family who supports Wang Yuan, even Chen Xuanli, who has never stood in line, has greatly praised Wang Yuan, which shows that this Wang Yuan and Li Bai are definitely not the same people. Back then, Li Bai was Gao Lishi Chen Xuanli or something, and was finally kicked out of Chang'an by them, but Wang Yuan had already received Chen Xuanli's public support.

Wang Yuan slowly descended along the stone steps of the main hall, and the sun shone warmly on his body, as if it was plated with a layer of golden light. At the bottom of the stairs, Yang Zhao was waiting for him, and before Wang Yuan was about to pack up and leave the capital, he still had a lot of doubts to figure out.

"Wang Yuan, congratulations, although this deputy envoy for case investigation is not an official position, I dare to guarantee that as long as everything goes well, I will be given a new official position when I come back. Now you have what you want. The two found a secret place to stand, and Yang Zhao spoke.

Wang Yuan said: "Thank you Du Zhilang for your recommendation, I said I would give you an explanation earlier, and now Du Zhilang can raise any questions." ”

Yang Zhao said: "Okay, then I won't go around the bend, you tried your best to persuade me to get the errand of investigating the case, in fact, I don't want you to go to this troubled water, you know my Yang family's position." Whether Li Linfu deals with Li Shizhi or the crown prince, it will be beneficial to us. My behavior today has offended Li Linfu, and you can see it, Li Linfu's eyes today can't wait to eat me. I want to say, what you said is good for us, but where is the benefit? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Du Zhilang, I know your thoughts, you tried your best to oppose this when I raised this matter before, I think it was probably Mrs. Qin's attitude that made you finally decide to support my idea, right?" ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the eighth sister who asked me to unconditionally support you to obtain this position, I would never have opened this mouth for you today. But the eighth sister didn't explain it to me clearly, she only said that it was a move that was beneficial to my Yang family, but I don't know where I offended Li Linfuli? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Du Zhilang, the benefit is not for a while, but above the general trend." We discussed before, if Li Linfu overthrew the crown prince and Li Shizhi this time, who would be the next target? You yourself said that the most likely one is the Yang family. Since you know that there will be a day when there will be a conflict with Li Linfu, why don't you prepare early? Do you think Li Linfu will tolerate the Yang family sitting under his nose? ”

"But...... It's too early for this time, let him fight with Prince Li Shizhi first, wouldn't it be good for us to fish in troubled waters? ”

"Du Zhilang, how can you catch more fish in person while fishing in troubled waters? If you don't grow quickly, you won't even be able to drink fish soup in the end. I know that you have been thinking about installing your own people into the important departments of the imperial court, but this time I hope that your eyes will not be on those positions in the sixth department, you will keep an eye on Li Shizhi's position, to tell the truth, I hope that after this turmoil, it will be you who will benefit the most, and you can become the left minister of the imperial court, that is the harvest. Instead of letting someone from Yang Shenjin or Wang Ji sit in that position, it would be a disaster. ”

Yang Zhao was shocked: "Do you want me to sit in the position of left minister?" Wouldn't that become a thorn in Li Linfu's side? ”

Wang Yuan said: "If Li Linfu succeeds, he will point the finger at you, are you still worried about becoming a thorn in his side?" That is the time to compare whose means and strength are stronger. Occupying the position of the left prime minister, at least you can compete with each other, if you don't even have the weight of the position, then you can only be slaughtered. ”

Yang Zhao paced in a panic, shook his head and said: "No, no, this position must not be taken away, otherwise it will be a great disaster, Li Linfu is not something I can fight against at present." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Du Zhilang, don't worry, what I said is that under one circumstance you can openly compete for the position of Zuo Xiang, that is, whether the purpose of my investigation of the case can be achieved." If you can achieve it, you can sit in the position of the left minister safely, and Li Linfu will not give priority to dealing with you. If the purpose of this trip fails, then there is nothing to say, if Li Linfu blames you at that time, you will kick me out to relieve his anger. ”

"What are you talking about, but you haven't told me what you're trying so hard to get this position? You don't want to protect Li Shizhi, right? ”

Wang Yuan was speechless about Yang Zhao's IQ, and said softly: "Du Zhilang, you and I both know that Li Shizhi will fall this time, the accounts are true, then Li Yong will die, and Li Shizhi will be involved." I want you to prepare to seize the position of the left minister, and it is based on this judgment. My real purpose is to prevent this fire from reaching the prince's head. If Li Linfu can only bring down Li Shizhi and can't move the prince, what do you think of the situation? ”

Yang Zhao patted his thigh and said: "I understand, you mean that if the prince does not fall, Li Linfu can only put his mind on the prince, even if I sit in the position of left minister, it is useless for him to hate, because he has no energy to deal with me." When the time comes, if I express my intention to cooperate, he will use a delaying tactic to deal with me, first show favor to me, and then really settle accounts with me after overthrowing the prince. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Isn't this right, this is the purpose of me daring to ask you to grab the position of Zuo Xiang, the reason why I desperately want to get this position is not that I want to be in the limelight, but for you Yang Duzhi." ”

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Although there is a risk, if the goal can really be achieved, this time my Yang family will gain the most. If you can do it, you will be the first great credit. But my concern is, how can you stop this fire from burning on the prince's head? Besides, if you go with that Yang Shenjin, I'm worried that you won't be able to deal with him, this person is not easy to deal with, and you are the deputy envoy, and it is even more difficult under him. He probably won't tell you anything. ”

Wang Yuan said: "I know it's difficult, but it's man-made, I'm always the person Your Majesty agrees to, and he can't exclude me." Besides, I have my own way. ”

Yang Zhao thought for a while and said: "Yang Shenjin thinks of himself as high, this is his weakness, maybe you can pat his ass, so that you may be able to have a good relationship and get some useful news." Or ......"

Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I'll pat him on the back?" If he is high, I will not be high? Duchiro, you just need to provide me with the help behind the scenes, and I will take care of the rest. I hope for a good outcome, and if it doesn't work out, don't blame me. ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't say much, just say what help you need, such as property, manpower, etc." ”

Wang Yuan said: "What I want to say is the problem of manpower, I can't transfer any of the manpower sent by the imperial court, even if I can send and transfer it, I don't dare to let them do things, that is equivalent to working under Yang Shenjin's nose." ”

Yang Zhao said: "This is easy to do, I have some people around me, all of them are capable personal guards, just choose a dozen or so for you, they will be absolutely loyal, and their martial arts are strong." ”

Wang Yuan said: "That's easy, I'm going to pack my bags, and I'm going to go on the road in the afternoon, and the time is urgent." ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "I'll immediately select people and let them go to your house to standby." By the way, there's one more thing I have some doubts about, but ...... I don't know if I should ask. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Ask, can't there be any secrets between us?" ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll ask directly, today Chen Xuanli is actually the key for you to get this errand, this Chen Xuanli doesn't say this kind of thing, is he having a good relationship with you in private?" ”

Wang Yuan heard Yang Zhao's suspicions, Yang Zhao must be very concerned about who he befriended, in the final analysis, everyone is using each other, everyone is worried that others will sell themselves behind their backs and outsiders, this kind of worry is also ordinary.

"I really can't answer this question you asked, I haven't even said a word to this General Chen, and I don't know why he wants to speak for me, I thought it was the help that you Yang Duzhilang secretly arranged. Isn't it? ”

Yang Zhao's eyes rolled a few times, and he laughed: "This ...... Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I know it, I'm just asking casually to see if you know what I'm doing in private, and that's the end of it. You go and pack up and leave, and I'll set up a feast for you by the Baqiao in the afternoon. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded in thanks, and hurriedly left the palace to go home to clean up.

In the Wang family's mansion, when they heard the news that Wang Yuan was going to Beihai County, everyone felt that it was sudden, and while packing Wang Yuan's clothes and packages, they discussed whether this trip was dangerous. When she learned that it was a major case investigation and that she was traveling with Yang Shenjin, Li Xin'er immediately expressed great concern and asked to follow.

Wang Yuan was reluctant to take Li Xin'er with him, although it could come in handy, but Li Xin'er was not very rational, maybe it would be a big deal, so he politely rejected Li Xin'er's request. Among the other people in the family, they can only take Da Hei Tong to take care of them, and Huang San and others are also a drag when they take them.

At noon, Yang Zhao selected ten elite entourages also rode to the king's house, at the same time, Yang Shenjin also sent people to urge Wang Yuan to gather at the east gate and leave, so a brief explanation, Wang Yuan took Wang Dahei and the entourage across the horse and went straight to the east gate.
