Li Heng and Li Mi looked back in surprise, and they glanced at Li Siye, as if they saw their own hidden worries in his eyes. This is a question they have been avoiding for a long time, and sometimes it flashes through their minds, and it may produce a kind of fluke, thinking that the edifice will not collapse at all because of one or two treacherous people.

Li Heng also has an idea that he does not dare to resort to peace, that is, all this may be caused by Li Longji, since it is a mistake made by Lao Tzu, of course he cannot correct it for the time being. He can only wait for the other party to die, and then he can take over the stall from behind him and push the one he wants to use to the front desk to make a big difference.

Before that, any idea is useless, and the emperor will not give him the opportunity to install whoever he wants. Even if Yang Guozhong is incompetent, it is just a few years of tossing, and only when his era of Li Heng arrives can he really reshuffle the cards.

At least it is good for him to end Li Linfu's era now, first of all, a big mountain that weighs on his heart has been moved, and he no longer has to worry about his life; Secondly, he and the Yang sisters are in-laws, even if he has a conflict with Yang Guozhong, he will not reach the same life-and-death situation as Li Linfu. In the end, Yang Guozhong has no talent for governing the country, let alone the skills of the emperor, and under the nose of this kind of person, it is more convenient to develop his own power.

As for Yang Guozhong becoming the prime minister, he can't stop it, so he can only use the corners he can't take into account to breed the seeds of self-power.

In fact, the seeds have already been planted, but they have been well hidden over the years, when he first became the crown prince, Wang Zhongsi served as the envoy of Shuofang, and the two had an extraordinary friendship, and Wang Zhongsi was also willing to open up a political experimental field for him in Shuofang.

Although Lingwu is one of the 360 states in the world, the land is fertile and the transportation is convenient, and Shuofang Town is also Li Heng's second home. Fifteen years before the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he and Xiao Song, the former mentor of the former prince, used to be the envoys of Shuofang Festival. Later, he led the ambassador of Shuofang Jiedu, and his name was Li Jun at that time. Later, Bai Zhijie, Li Wei, King of Xin'an, Tian Renwan and Niu Xianke all had a good relationship with him, and built a palace for him in Lingwu - nominally called the residence of the ambassador of Shuofang Jiedu.

What's more, because of this intimate relationship, all the successor Shuofang Jiedu envoys have kept in touch with the prince who has set up his nest here. Even at the moment when Li Linfu was powerful and created an unjust case to uproot the prince's party, Shuo Fangjiedu did not dare to openly contradict the prime minister, but he still gave silent support to the princeling party in secret.

At this time, Li Heng raised his head firmly, and said with a bit of contempt and firmness for the Yang family on his face: "It's okay, just let them accompany their father and emperor for a few more years, just for Your Majesty to spend the fun of his old age." ”

Li Siye secretly pondered, you don't want this kind of idea, wait another four or five years, the sheep thieves on the northeast border have already been successful, just waiting for the big move.

Li Heng turned his head to look at Li Siye and said with a smile: "I know that Dr. Li and the Yang family have a deep relationship, although I don't know if this depth is superficial or ...... However, I still have to ask Dr. Li to bring a sentence to Yang Guozhong, about the wrestling between him and Li Linfu, Lone is willing to help secretly. ”

Li Siye nodded: "I can bring him this sentence." ”

The prince stood up with the sheep felt in his hand and said to the two: "It's not too early, I'll go first, you can leave later, Li Yu, you wait until tomorrow morning to leave."

After that, he walked down the stairs of the Taoist temple building alone, walked out of Jinglongguan with frost flowers all over the ground, and walked out of the gate of Chongrenfang.

Li Siye stood on the observation tower and looked out, his eyes moved with Li Heng's activity trajectory, he turned around and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still so cautious. ”

Li Mi lowered his head and was making tea, and he didn't know if he heard what he just said, until he poured half a jar of water into the teapot to save the boil, put down the teacup, and then looked up at Li Siye, with a complex and indescribable awe in his eyes: "Doctor Li, I didn't notice it before, but I didn't realize until today that you have a keen judgment of the political situation, and you can even avoid danger in advance, until today you finally stood in the position you envisioned, which really makes me admire." ”

Li Siye subconsciously touched his nose, only he knew that he had no judgment, and he was not possessed by the European Emperor.

He laughed and said, "Li Zhizhao has praised it, where do I have any keen judgment, it's just that no one pays attention to me." ”

Li Mi poured tea into the tea bowl while carrying a teaspoon, and said lightly: "I still remember that in the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Linfu began to attack the prince, but all the people who participated in the secret meeting with the prince in Jinglongguan in Chongrenfang, such as He Jian, Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and others, are no longer alive today. Only if you have not been affected, but have been able to rise higher and higher, so I have to admire you. ”

Li Siye laughed and asked, "Aren't you Li Mi still alive?" ”

"I'm not like you, I was able to escape the catastrophe by retreating to the Tao at that time. And you can still get promoted and make a fortune in Anxi. At the beginning, we suspected that there was a collusion between you and Li Linfu, and betrayed us in exchange for your smooth promotion. In order to test this idea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to give you a handmaid to monitor your every move, and if you refuse to accept it, it means that you are a thief. It's just that you accepted it gladly, and you can still keep her by your side until today. ”

Li Siye leaned back and touched the back of his head, thinking that this was the case. At that time, he remembered that the prince sent a maid to Li Mi and him each, and he thought that this was the standard for princeling members, and he didn't trust everyone, so he placed undercover agents around them. It turned out that he just didn't trust himself, and only gave Dao Rou to himself to ambush and spy by his side.

He turned his head and asked, "Why are you saying it, so that everyone has room for it?" ”

"Because until today, Your Highness and I finally believe that you have not turned your back on them, and that you are still you."

"And now? Do you still choose to doubt me now? ”

Li Mi changed his knees to sit on the ground cross-legged, bent down on the ground with his hands folded, and saluted Li Siye: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that there was an implicit apology. Now Li Mi, on behalf of the crown prince, on behalf of myself, formally apologizes to you, and we should not doubt you. As for the maidservant Daorou, you can choose to drive her back to Lingwu, or you can leave her behind. Li Mi is willing to use his life to guarantee that we will never use her for anything in the future. ”

Li Siye also knelt in front of him, helped him up with both hands and said: "If you put yourself in your shoes from a different angle, I understand your approach, after all, I do have so many doubts, and Anxi is originally the right minister's own place, but it is just ......"

"There is another sentence for you to pass on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after going through this incident, I hope His Highness will understand that trust is the foundation of our relationship. If you lose trust, you lose everything. ”

He took the steaming tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, stood up with the sheep felt in his hand, turned around and pushed open the next door, and turned to walk downstairs. Li Mi stared blankly at his back.
