Li Yangdong smiled bitterly: "My lord, do you still think it's the reason for the waiter?" ”

"And what's the reason?"

Obviously it's their little emperor who is not peaceful, if you get rid of one chamberlain, can you get rid of all the chamberlains? The emperor doesn't believe in foreign ministers and internal servants, and this root is in the emperor.

Li Yangdong believed that Liu Jian also understood this truth, but he had no way to scold the emperor, he could only scold the servants.

Li Yangdong didn't explain, and he didn't need to explain, he only said: "My lord, if it is really for the sake of the imperial court, Zhishi is the most unwise method. ”

Liu Jian's old eyes were constricted: "What do you mean?" ”

It means that the strength must be preserved, the emperor will definitely favor the inner servants, and there will always be inner servants to be bigger, so for the sake of the emperor and the country, the best way is to lurk, wait for the opportunity, and bring the emperor back, but if it is done, then there is no way to think of any way, how can you talk about competing with the inner servants?

Li Yangdong and Liu Jian have different ways of doing things.

He still didn't explain, and raised his glass and said: "My lord, I humbly admire what you have done for the imperial court for so many years, and I wish you good health after this cup." ”

Yes, one is a minister, the other is still a cabinet minister, what else can they say?

What should be said has been communicated before.

However, Liu Jian was still a little dissatisfied with Li Dongyang's secretive attitude, drank angrily, and said, "The old man will not give up." ”

Li Yangdong said hurriedly: "My lord." ”

Liu Jian raised his hand: "If you are really a pillar of the country, in the position of an auxiliary minister, the old man does not ask you to be as upright as the old man and persuade the emperor, but when someone advises the emperor, you don't interfere to stop it." ”

Li Yangdong saw Liu Jian's meaning, and there was a backhand, yes, he had been the first assistant for so many years, and his protégés were everywhere, but this time he only left Cui Jingye, there are still people in the court, and as long as there are his people in the court, they will not live in peace.

Li Yangdong thought about it and didn't persuade again.

And the reason why Li Yangdong secretly came to see off Liu Jian was to persuade him to change his temperament, relax his mind, and don't let his protégé make things bigger, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and now he can't be persuaded anymore, and the next two people don't seem to have anything to say.

The silence in the room was embarrassing, and Li Yangdong said: "It will take half a day to go back to the city, and the lowly post will go first, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the city gate." ”

Liu Jian didn't keep him.

After Li Yangdong left, Liu Jian drank another glass of wine.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me.

With his back to the door, he turned his back and asked, "Who?" ”

After stretching his eyebrows, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's you?" ”

There were three people who came, all of whom were disciples of Liu Jian and held official positions in the six departments.

The three of them went out of the city with Liu Jian's ox cart, and they waited for Liu Jian to talk to Liu Jian when he rested, but they never had a chance, so they couldn't wait for Li Yangdong to leave Liu Jian behind.

The most important of the three is Lin Chaoying, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, after meeting the teacher, Lin Chaoying said: "The three of me came to see off the teacher, why did Master Li also come?" ”

Li Yangdong refused to give advice, it was clear that he had a discordant relationship with Liu Jian, and it was of course very strange that a person who was not in harmony could come to see him off.

Liu Jian didn't tell the three of them that Li Yangdong was here to persuade him to give up.

He said: "I'm going to leave in a while, there is not much time, you three listen carefully, stay in the court for a day, you will be loyal to the monarch for a day, what is a loyal monarch, it is definitely not blind flattery, our emperor is young, there are internal servants to coax and instigate, the future is worrying, but I fell this time, you are all important ministers of the court, but you can't be afraid, the Eight Tigers must be eliminated, even if I leave, this task can't stop." ”
