"Brother Li, what are you going to do?"

Ye Xianggao gradually calmed down, his brows were still furrowed, but his tone was calm.

Obviously, Li Tingji's calmness also surprised him a little, in fact, when Sun Piyang left, Ye Xianggao already regretted it in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have helped Li Tingji to lure Sun Piyang with words.

After all, the previous lesson impressed him too deeply, and the reason why Li Tingji ended up like this is because he made his own opinions in the court discussion, which angered the Son of Heaven.

And today's events, how similar to the last time, who Yang Lian is, no one knows better than him, and the Son of Heaven has high hopes for this person.

This point has been beginning to emerge as early as the time in the palace, and for some reason, the Son of Heaven is always very lenient for this stunned young man.

And after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he did not forget him, among the officials of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, it is definitely one of the most powerful official positions below the fourth grade, and the Son of Heaven gave it out so easily, it should be said that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Yang Lian, even more than Han Yi!

Because of this, Ye Xianggao was particularly surprised by Li Tingji's approach, with the Son of Heaven's love for Yang Lian, he must have calculated Yang Lian's promotion path in his heart, and now Li Tingji is intervening, although he is helping Yang Lian, but at the same time, he is also pushing him to the forefront.

But now Li Tingji actually said that he wants to tell the Son of Heaven about today's events as it is, could it be that he wants to bear the guilt?

"Naturally, it is to do what His Majesty wants to do!"

Facing Ye Xianggao's questioning, Li Tingji shook his head and asked softly.

"Jinqing, have you ever thought about why the Son of Heaven attaches so much importance to Yang Lian?"

Why?

This time Ye Xianggao was asked, you must know that although the will of heaven is clear and the sacred heart is unpredictable, as long as it is a human being, there will always be clues to be found in his thoughts.

He, Li Tingji and Yang Lian can be regarded as the first group of people to follow the Son of Heaven, and now that I think about it carefully, the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven are actually reasonable, but there are also many things that are difficult for even close ministers like Ye Xianggao to understand.

For example, why did he insist on using troops against the Jurchens in the first place, why did he react so radically to the Donglin people now, and why he was so partial to Yang Lian for no reason.

Although it was suspected of being disrespectful to say this, Ye Xianggao couldn't help but feel in his heart that the actions of the Son of Heaven were indeed strange sometimes......

But it seems that Li Tingji has found the answer?

"Actually, it's very simple, because Yang Lian was born to be a minister of the Constitution!"

Looking at Ye Xianggao's confused gaze, Li Tingji sighed and spoke.

"Jin Qing might as well think back, when Yang Lian and I were waiting for the discussion, how did Jin Qing feel?"

This......

Ye Xianggao quickly rummaged through his memory to find the intersection between himself and Yang Lian, but found that this young man had always had only one impression on him.

"Would you rather bend than bend?"

In fact, Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian had more intersection many years ago when Zhu Changluo was still a prince, when everyone was a vassal of the palace and often discussed matters together.

Not to mention Ye Xianggao, even Jinshang is often choked by Yang Lian speechless, but the strange thing is that Jinshang is never angry, even if he sometimes reprimands and punishes Yang Lian, it is only up and down, etiquette is lacking, and most of the means of punishment are copying books, and there is never any substantive punishment.

After the book was copied, Yang Lian participated in the deliberations as usual, how to speak and how to speak, he didn't know how to converge at all, he was still the same, and he never changed at all.

Ye Xianggao once thought that if it weren't for the unconditional protection of the Son of Heaven, with Yang Lian's temperament that didn't know the height of the sky, he wouldn't have known what it would be like to be suppressed.

But even he had to admit that although Yang Lian didn't know much about the world and officialdom, most of what he said was right, but the way he spoke was always not easy for people to accept.

"Yes, Yang Lian, this person, if you say it is good, you would rather bend than bend, but if you don't say it well, you don't know the height of the sky, and you have to take care of any injustice when you see it, and under the favor of the Son of Heaven, you never know what fear is, such a character should not exist in officialdom, but there is a position that is just right for him......"

Li Tingji also sighed and spoke.

"Kedao?"

Ye Xianggao hesitated for a moment, vaguely realized, and asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Li Tingji shook his head slightly.

"Yes and no, according to the old man, maybe it is more appropriate to call him a minister! Jinqing, you and I are both people who have read history books, you should know that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a courtier, who was known for his straightforward admonitions, and he was also a character who would rather bend than bend. ”

Ye Xianggao was really shocked at this time, he was very knowledgeable, and naturally knew who Li Tingji was talking about, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Lian was in Li Tingji's heart, no, should it be said that he had such a high evaluation in the heart of the Son of Heaven?

"Brother Li is too famous, right? How can Yang Lian be on a par with Duke Wei! ”

The person Li Tingji said is the one who has been passed down through the ages with "living up to the lord of the time, not being a powerful person at the bottom, not extravagant relatives in the middle, not being a friend outside, not changing the festival at the right time, and not selling loyalty to the picture", Wei Zheng!

Ye Xianggao never thought that Yang Lian, a person who is not good-looking, would get such high praise from Li Tingji, you know, who is Wei Zheng? That's a righteous minister who has been famous for thousands of years and is admired by everyone!

Li Tingji glanced at Ye Xianggao deeply and said meaningfully.

"Jinqing, your vision is still too shallow! It is not so much that the old man is comparing Yang Lian with Wei Gong, it is better to say that Jin Shang has great ambitions and wants to build a Wei Gong by himself! Now that the old man looks at Yang Lian's words and deeds, he has the demeanor of a minister, if you think about it carefully, don't you know how much setback Yang Lian's unbending character will suffer in the officialdom, but what is the reason for repeatedly tolerating him today? ”

Pacing back and forth in the study, Li Tingji looked up sharply and said categorically.

"Naturally, it is so that Yang Lian can become a real minister!"

"The old man doesn't know when His Majesty plans to really release Yang Lian, but the old man is confident, and his intention to use Yang Lian as a minister is absolutely right!"

Ye Xianggao looked thoughtful and nodded.

"That's why Brother Li took the risk and wanted to send Yang Lian into the first line of the Kedao?"
