Taishou Mansion, in the Brocade Garden.

The sun pours on the petals of the flowers, shining on the droplets of water on the green leaves. Rows of small trees swayed in the wind, and occasionally a yellowed leaf fell and floated into the nearby viewing pool, swaying and flowing like a boat.

Chunshuang put away the watering can and glanced at the princess in the pavilion. I saw that the young woman was calm and sparse, with a beautiful demeanor, sitting on the stone bench with a wide sleeved and long skirt, looking at something small in her hand, and then slowly putting it away. And next to her stood a heroic woman, like a star in the sky, guarding her all the time.

The newly made pastries made by the chef on the stone table have not been passive for a long time, and most of them have cooled after so long. After Xin Yi left, Tianjin's expression was much more solemn. Chunshuang originally wanted to go up to condole, but when she saw another sturdy and handsome man coming in at the door, she retreated with interest.

"Jin'er." Before he got close to the beauty in the pavilion, Liu Yu called out from afar.

Tianjin came back to his senses, and his gaze instantly became much gentler, "I'm back." ”

"Yes." Liu Yu walked over, looked at Tianjin's face, and easily caught a subtle look on her face, "What's wrong?" ”

Tianjin handed the note in his hand to Liu Yu and said, "Your situation in the court is getting worse and worse now, and there are more and more ministers who are dissatisfied with you. ”

Liu Yu unfolded the note and glanced at it, and snorted coldly, "A group of fools, even if the post is pushed higher than the mountain, what if Emperor Dezong can understand it?" It's better to save some pen and ink and do more practical things. ”

As soon as Emperor Dezong was mentioned, Tianjin was suspicious, but he couldn't say why, he always felt that he was a little different, but he couldn't find what was wrong. It felt like a woman's speculation, without evidence, but more sensitive than a cat's nose. But Tianjin couldn't tell Liu Yu about this mysterious feeling, and he was afraid of messing up his mind if he talked too much.

"The people I arranged in the harem are still comparable to the queen and queen, and they can't arbitrarily influence the wishes of Emperor Dezong. Although he doesn't know his mind, some things have been repeated a lot, and they have become facts, and maybe one day he will really dismiss you. The rest of the matter, don't do it too publicly. Tianjin told the ambitious man in front of him to pay attention to the sharp edge.

His wife's advice was not unreasonable, and when he thought of the wrinkled faces of those old ministers, Liu Yu exhaled fiercely, "The foundation of the current Southern Dynasty is rotten, and there are internal and external troubles. If you don't get rid of the evil disease quickly, I'm afraid that if the outside doesn't come in, the inside will be scattered. In the past, I was reckless and only knew how to protect my brothers, but now that I am respected by others, I naturally have to shoulder the great responsibility of the world, and I can not care about the impeachment of those snobs. ”

"It is precisely because of the great responsibility of the world that we should pay more attention to those villains, protect ourselves, and do things that are more beneficial to the people of the world." Tianjin grew up in the struggle for imperial power since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of Zhongliang's various ways of dying, all of which were victimized by those inconspicuous villains. Their status may not be high, and their ability is not strong, and one alone is not enough. But they will firmly hold together for the sake of interests, see the opportunity, and pull Zhongliang down together, and never turn over.

"Even if you don't care about those villains, Huan Xuan should always be scruples." Tianjin proposed another person, and Liu Yu couldn't help but tighten his palms.

"He hasn't done much in the court lately." Liu Yu was in the same dynasty as him every day, and since the fall of the Wang family, he has not seen any major moves.

However, Liu Yu himself rejuvenated the great reform of the national law and offended many people.

Tianjin raised his eyebrows and said, "He has no movement in the court, but because your movement is too big, the threshold of his Xiangguo Mansion will be flattened." Many nobles of the gate, including important ministers of the imperial court, defected to him. ”

"So what?" Liu Yu snorted lightly, not denying this fact, but also not bowing his head easily.

Tianjin Zhengse reminded, "You have to pay attention to this power. ”

Liu Yu was angry and hateful to that group of old firewood, "The people I promoted are not mediocre. Let's just say that Shi Taro, you have also seen it, he is bold and resourceful, and he is a malleable talent. ”

"They are naturally talented and have their own advantages, but after all, they are children of a poor family and have no foundation. It is impossible to rely on their support to go on for a long time. It's only a matter of time before he gets knocked down. ”

Tianjin's hint was a little harsh, Liu Yu restrained his eyebrows, couldn't help but spread his hands, and raised his voice, "Is it difficult to let it go, and continue to let those gate lords and nobles scourge the dynasty and the people!?" ”

Tianjin's temperament is much gentler than before, and he held her husband's hand and admonished, "What should be done is still to be done, but the wind and waves must be restrained, and someone must cover it up." ”

Liu Yu looked at his wife, her wise eyes flashed brightly, "What do you think?" ”

"Huan Xuan is a prince and nobleman, and because of his foundation, he can't use a knife against nobles. But this does not mean that he agrees with those old and pedantic disciplines and is willing to watch the dynasty rot. Tianjin looked into the distance and chuckled, "Presumably he has a headache now, on the one hand, he wants to support his foundation and welcome guests with a smile, but on the other hand, he hates the moths of the dynasty but has nothing to do." ”

Although Huan Xuan is a nobleman, he is not one of those pedantic and greedy magnates, which hinders the previous relationship, Liu Yu can still trust it.

"What do you want me to do?"

After a closer analysis, this matter is actually quite simple. Tianjin raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Yu, "Now you can do what he can't do, let him cover you." ”

Liu Yu raised his chin, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, and then nodded and motioned for Tianjin to continue.

"Although you and Huan Xuan seem to be evenly divided in the court, his power is far greater than yours, and those well-established ministers are incomparable to those stunned youths. So we are hostile on the surface, but we can join forces with him in private, and when someone is against you, he can secretly block it. And you can also do what he wants to do but can't. ”

Tianjin's idea is also very simple, one in the court to do things in the open, and the other to help each other in the dark.

They can be hostile or allies in constant goal changes.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said worriedly, "The truth is right, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to agree." As you said earlier, he has an advantage. ”

Tianjin suddenly smiled and said meaningfully, "It's not difficult, as long as you take the initiative to lower your posture and show goodwill, he will agree." ”

"Lower your head!?" Liu Yu looked at Tianjin and hesitated slightly, "Then how much lower do I have to be below him to get things done?" ”

Tianjin stood up, paced slowly two steps, and looked in the direction of Xiangguofu, his deep eyes shining against the sun.

"Then it depends on how much you want to be higher than him in the end!"
