Chapter 164: Scandal
"Shicai, you asked Li Shizhi what kind of person he is in His Majesty's heart, I don't think I need to say more. Because of this, I feel strange why Li Shizhi can still stand. Yang Zhao shook his head and smiled, his face full of disdain.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's balancing technique. It is precisely because Li Shizhi cannot take on the big responsibility that His Majesty relies on Li Linfu. And Li Linfu's performance in the Shangyuan Night case made His Majesty feel that he was aggressive. When the balance of power is tilted, it can lead to the consequences of a monopoly that is difficult to regulate. ”
"Are you saying that Your Majesty did it on purpose to beat Li Linfu?"
"It must be so. When His Majesty found out that Li Linfu was too strong, how could he sit idly by. But after all, Li Linfu has made great achievements in government affairs, and although he can't say how much credit he has made for more than ten years, it is not easy to maintain the peaceful and prosperous situation of our Tang Dynasty. His Majesty is confident in his vision. Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling have been born in the hands of His Majesty, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. In His Majesty's heart, he must believe that Li Linfu is also a virtuous minister, so he must not only curb the expansion of his power, but also use it to govern the world, and can only use the method of Huairou restraint. ”
Yang Zhao frowned and said, "There is some truth in saying this. ”
Wang Yuan said: "I don't dare to say that this analysis must be correct, but I dare to guarantee that it will not be outrageous, on the other hand, in the case of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, Li Shizhi tried his best to defend the two." His Majesty's preservation of Li Shizhi is also to express his attitude towards that case to Li Linfu, although he said that Li Linfu killed the two of them, but if he went too far, His Majesty would not sit idly by. ”
Yang Zhao said happily: "Doesn't that mean that if Li Linfu can't realize this, His Majesty will cut him?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "Li Linfu is scheming, how could he not realize this, I dare to guarantee that Li Linfu is angry and angry, but he will not dwell too much on this matter." Unless Li Linfu has another means to catch Li Shizhi's sore spot and force His Majesty to dispose of Li Shizhi, Li Shizhi will definitely be fine for the time being. As for An Lushan's side, it is even more insignificant. An Lushan himself would never bite Li Shizhi at this time, this time he has already made a big profit, and it will not be good for him to make trouble again. ”
Yang Zhao nodded slowly and said, "Brother Wang's analysis is reasonable, and the teaching is open. But it wouldn't do us any good to keep it as it was. Li Linfu can't move him for the time being, and can only count on Li Shizhi's downfall, but now that His Majesty keeps Li Shizhi, we have nothing to gain from it. ”
Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "Li Shizhi will fall sooner or later, if Li Linfu can swallow this breath, he will not be Li Linfu." If one plan fails, another plan will inevitably come, because even if Li Linfu understands what His Majesty means, he can't stop it, and time waits for no one. It's just that we don't know how he will start, but it is conceivable that if he chooses to target Li Shizhi again, it will be a thunderous method, and there will be no possibility of compromise. Knowing what to do but not knowing what to do, in fact, this is the most terrifying. If Duzhilang has a heart, he can listen to more news about this. Although Li Linfu is wary of you, he still needs your help for now, because Your Majesty has a place for you in front of him. ”
Yang Zhao nodded silently and said, "What I said is that whoever Li Linfu bites, no one can escape." Originally, he thought that Li Shizhi was just his plaything, and he could ask Li Shizhi to get out of the way at any time, but this setback made him lose face, and he would get this face back no matter what. Otherwise, the people around you will not be able to calm down. Originally, because of the fact that the position of the imperial historian was seized for An Lushan, Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin had already talked strange things, and if they couldn't figure out this Li Shizhi, how could he gain a foothold? ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's enough for him to think about it, to deal with the crown prince, to deal with Li Shizhi, and to appease unruly people like Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin, if Li Linfu doesn't have thunder means, he will gradually lose his authority." The means are inevitable, but I don't know how to launch them, and I'm afraid we can only wait for things to develop. ”
Yang Zhao sighed and stood up and said, "Brother Wang is really a think tank, and I just now realize how important it is for my Yang family to recommend you." From now on, I will come and explore with you, no matter how big or small, and it will be of great benefit. ”
Wang Yuan arched his hand and smiled: "It's tormenting me, but if it is beneficial to the Yang family in the slightest, I will be very happy." The Yang family is my benefactor. ”
Yang Zhao said with a smile: "We don't think of ourselves as benefactors, our Yang family has a future, and your bachelor Wang also has a good future, which is called both glory and loss." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "That's true. ”
Yang Zhao said: "I made an appointment with Wang Ji to visit the Drunken Immortal Building in the evening, otherwise I will invite you to drink, and I will invite you another day, I will leave." ”
Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Du Zhilang is at his own convenience." ”
Yang Zhao saluted Mrs. Qin Guo and said goodbye, turned around and strode away. Wang Yuan didn't want to stay in Mrs. Qin's inner house, so he also got up to say goodbye, but Mrs. Qin Guo said, "I'm not busy, I have something to tell you." ”
Wang Yuan sat down again, and Mrs. Qin Guo muttered for a long time: "I don't know how to talk about this matter, and I'm afraid that you will be unhappy if I say it." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Madam, but what she said is." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It's about my third sister." ”
Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Mrs. Qiuguo?" What's wrong with her? ”
Mrs. Qin Guo gritted her teeth and said, "That's it, just say it." Do you still remember the day His Majesty hosted a banquet to entertain An Lushan? ”
Wang Yuan said: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”
"That night, An Lushan went to my third sister's mansion to ......," Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan was stunned, couldn't this cheap woman really get involved with An Lushan? That day, at the banquet, he flirted in public, An Lushan was arguing about what pear blossom nectar wine to eat, and Mrs. Yu Guo also agreed to invite him to drink, but he didn't expect it to be really mixed up that night. However, this matter has something to do with him, but I don't know what Mrs. Qin Guo did when she talked about it.
"Master Wang, do you still remember the attitude of the third sister to you that the slave told you after the banquet that day? You ignored her and made her very unhappy, so I embarrassed you everywhere, but then I learned what she was thinking. Although this is a little difficult to say, the slave still wants to find out about this matter, hoping that Master Wang will not be surprised. ”
"What the hell is Madame going to say? But that's it. Wang Yuan began to faintly feel that something was not good.
"Hmm...... You also know, my third sister...... Behavior is somewhat ...... Some are uninhibited. I'm sure you've heard some gossip in Chang'an. As our Yang family, we actually don't want her to become like this, but she is my Yang sister's sister after all, although she acts willfully, but she can't let it go. That night, I asked the eldest sister to go to her house, and An Lushan had already drunk and lost his manners, if we didn't arrive, I was afraid that he would have to stay in the third sister's house. ”
Wang Yuan's brows twisted into a pimple, what are you doing with such ugly things? I am always an outsider, but I don't know what Mrs. Qin Guo means.
"After the eldest sister and I dismissed An Lushan, the third sister actually quarreled with us, so that she could calm down. You must know that my Yang family must not associate with people like An Lushan, not only because An Lushan is ugly and vulgar, but also because it has an affair with my Yang family's reputation. What's more, because An Lushan is a general in a border town, once he has an affair with him, someone will use this as an excuse to slander my Yang family. You also know what the consequences of a private meeting between the generals of the border towns and the officials of the DPRK and China, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming are examples. The three cousins of my Yang family are now all officials in the court, and when they are laying a solid foundation, such a thing must not happen, so we can't let the third sister mess around. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's really a problem, Madam is not too worried." ”
Mrs. Qin Guo said: "It's a pity that the third sister doesn't know the general situation, and after making trouble, she put forward a condition, huh...... I don't know how to speak. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "What conditions?" ”
Mrs. Qin Guo glanced at Wang Yuan, bowed her head and said, "She...... She wants me to convince Master Wang that you ...... Go to her house...... Be a guest. ”
Wang Yuan's face brushed down, and he heard the meaning of Mrs. Qin's words, the so-called guest Yunyun was to go to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion to be her minister. This Mrs. Qiu Guo is really obscene and cheap, and she actually put forward such a condition, and she has no shame in her heart.
Seeing Wang Yuan's face change suddenly, Mrs. Qin Guo hurriedly said: "Bachelor Wang is angry, I also scolded her for messing around at the time, but the third sister said that he really likes you, as long as you can pretend to her, she will abide by the way of women in the future and change her ways." Master Wang, if you can promise her, you may save my third sister once, otherwise she can only look for excitement everywhere without any scruples, which will not only ruin herself, but also ruin our Yang family. ”
Wang Yuan sneered: "Madame said this, Mrs. Qiuguo's behavior is responsible for me, but I don't know why Madame said such things to me." Although I, Wang Yuan, have been recommended by your Yang family, I will not practice myself. What does it matter to me? Don't think I'll go to her house, I'm a person with a family and a house, and I don't want to have anything to do with Mrs. Qiuguo. ”
Mrs. Qin Guo's face turned pale, and she whispered, "The bachelor is angry, I shouldn't have passed on this for her." I just don't want to see the third sister messing around. Besides, the third sister spit out the truth after drinking, she actually really likes you, and she doesn't want to destroy your family, she just wants to ...... Hey, I don't know what to say. ”
Wang Yuan stood up and said coldly: "Then don't say anything, don't mention this matter again; Madame, I respect you very much, but I didn't expect you to be like this, it's really disappointing. Your Yang family can't handle this yourself, but if you want me to help, it's a joke. ”
Mrs. Qin Guo was at a loss and sat silently.
Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "This is my resignation." He slammed the door without looking back.
Mrs. Qin stood up suddenly, sat down again, her face was full of frustration, and she suddenly fell on the desk and shrugged her shoulders and cried.
