Chapter 361: Going to huddle together to keep warm
Lin Yue pursed her lips and said, "What does the general mean is not optimistic about the Eighth Prince?" Is the General going to continue to support His Majesty today? But now His Majesty and him are incompatible, and the general can only choose one of them, so who is the general more willing to support? β
Whether it is for the sake of the people or kindness, Yang Zhi will choose Xiao Feng, but His Majesty is also appreciative of him, and now that his wife and children are under his control, this choice is a little difficult to choose.
But he had already chosen to be loyal to His Majesty for his wife and children last time, and this time the general is still there, do you have to be sorry for him?
He thought of Song Yuan's words, remembered that Xiao Aofeng had saved him on the battlefield many times, if it weren't for Xiao Aofeng, how could he have started a family and had lived so many happy years.
There are no eggs under the nest, if you can't even solve the external worries, then sooner or later everyone will die, it's better to fight and see if you can fight a way to live.
He looked at Lin Yue with a firm gaze, and said seriously: "I swear to the death that I am willing to follow the general to kill the enemy, even if I die on the battlefield!" β
Lin Yue was satisfied, and said with a smile: "Since you choose him, then you can no longer be loyal to the current Majesty, I have investigated, many people in the city are full of complaints, and they are very dissatisfied with the current Majesty, not only them, but even the civil and military officials in the court also have different thoughts, except for this eighth prince who is ready to move, intending to compete for the throne, others also have the intention of supporting the new emperor, these generals should have heard of it a little, I don't know who the general thinks is most likely to ascend to that position?" β
Hearing that she was so easy to plot to seize the throne, Yang Zhidu thought that what they were discussing was not a big matter, but some trivial things.
He looked pensive and thought for a while, "Among the military attachΓ©s, I am the most trusted person of His Majesty, and among the civil officials, Li Yi and Li Cheng are Prime Ministers, the two of us are His Majesty's right-hand men, without us, it will be much easier to bring down His Majesty, I have heard that there are many officials who are courting Prime Minister Li Cheng, including the Eighth Prince, but no one is looking for me, so if you really ask me those people want to sit in that position, that is worthy of support, I really don't know much." β
Lin Yue said lightly: "Those people don't woo you, because you are too upright and loyal, it's better to say if you can't win over, if you go to join them with Your Majesty, isn't it enough for them to drink a pot, but if you are willing to take the initiative to make friends with a certain faction, they will definitely welcome it, after all, the choice is in the hands of you and Prime Minister Li Cheng." β
Yang Zhi nodded, "What you said makes sense, but this matter is very important, it is related to the thousand-year foundation after Chengqi, and the people who are selected to support must be excellent, who do you want to support?" β
Lin Yue thought for a while and said: "If you want the people to recognize and agree, then it is best to be a relative of the emperor, such as the eighth prince or the emperor's son, although the eighth prince has no real power, but if he inherits, it can be regarded as justifiable, if you support the emperor's son, then you can cultivate a puppet emperor." β
"Then you mean to choose one of the sons of the Eight Princes and the Emperor?"
Lin Yue shook her head, "Actually, according to your current situation, I think it's better for you not to rush into the team now, but you can walk around more with Prime Minister Li, after all, you are also a member of the same team on the surface, and walking around between you more is also a guarantee." β
"After all, the two of you are in a bad situation now, if the two of you are together, the emperor will not dare to attack one of you easily, which can be regarded as a check and balance. And if the two of you join forces, whoever you support will have a better chance of winning. β
Yang Zhi sighed and said: "I understand what you mean, but then Prime Minister Li Cheng may not necessarily believe me, as you said, I have been different and dirty all these years, and I have been alone, they all know that I am a person who puts the people in the first place, if I go to Chengqi, they will not believe it, on the contrary, they may think that I am not sent by His Majesty to test them, and they will be even more restrictive." β
"And I've heard that they want to win over Prime Minister Li Cheng and make Prime Minister Li believe in them, they all intend to marry Prime Minister Li Cheng's daughter, if you want Prime Minister Li to believe that I am sincere, unless I stand in the same boat with him, but I don't want to take a concubine, let alone make my wife wronged."
is really a good man who is responsible and single-minded, Lin Yue has some admiration.
He has made this mean, and Lin Yue is really not good to ask Yang Zhi to marry her again.
Her head was running rapidly, and she thought of a good reason, "The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, even if you don't marry the prime minister's daughter, you can make the prime minister believe in your sincerity, as long as the general explains your situation to Prime Minister Li Cheng, it doesn't mean that he wants to seek power and usurp the throne, but just shows that he wants to win him over and seek a guarantee, so that he can better serve the emperor, he will definitely agree." β
"Really? I had barely met with him before, and if I had rushed to join forces with him, would he really trust me to stand with me? β
Lin Yue nodded and said: "Yes, Prime Minister Li Cheng is actually not optimistic about those who are plotting to usurp the throne, he mainly wants to support His Majesty today, so his concubine is kept for the emperor, but the emperor has always been afraid that Prime Minister Li Cheng will become bigger and gain an inch, so he has not compromised." β
"Now Prime Minister Li Cheng is willing to move around with other people with different intentions, in fact, he wants to leave a way back for himself, but wants to use this to put pressure on the emperor to accept his daughter into the harem and promise a high position, and now the two are still anxious, and no one is willing to compromise."
"If at this time, you are willing to join Prime Minister Li's side, the balance will be tilted to Prime Minister Li's side, and at that time, the emperor will have to compromise, so Prime Minister Li Chengcheng will definitely agree."
Yang Zhi looked at her with admiration and talked eloquently, with a look of surprise, "How can you know so much about the affairs of the capital, better than me?" β
Lin Yue was stunned, she seemed to be talking too much, too showy.
She replied: "Money can make ghosts grind, you think that I am like you to throw myself into the army, I want to help him pave the way, then it must take more effort." β
Yang Zhi didn't think much about it, after all, Xiao Feng's relationship with her was better than Song Yuan's, and he really planned everything for Xiao Aofeng, so he really had nothing to doubt Lin Yue.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, I will contact Prime Minister Li Cheng privately to see if this matter can be done, if it happens, I will contact you at that time." By the way, where do you live now? Where can I find you? β
"I'm lurking in the Prime Minister's Mansion now to find out the information, if you have anything, you can send someone to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where you can see that there are many trees in the yard, you find the tallest tree, and then tie a ribbon on it, and tie the news to the trunk." Lin Yue replied.
