The fragrant and cold golden lion was turned into a red wave.

In the curtain, Yang Yuyao rested too much, and she could take care of talking about some serious things.

"You seem to have just said, let Brother pay homage to the Prime Minister?"

"Possibly." Xue Bai said: "When I left the palace, the sage had just summoned my brother to meet me, and I guess he might add a 'Tongping Zhang Political Affairs' first." ”

"Calling 'brother' makes us really look like brothers and sisters." Yang Yuyao became more and more interested and asked, "How did you guess?" ”

"I could have used the cases of Xiao Jiong and Yuan Lian to continue to investigate taxes and rectify the rule of officials, but the sage was lazy, raised it high and put it down gently. The death of one or two people is less than the number of people involved in the Liu Tao case, which can only be regarded as a joke, and the only effect is to make Li Linfu and Li Heng lose some trust. Lazy government means that he is afraid of trouble, and the saint is unwilling to abolish the prince and remove the right minister, and the most convenient way is to promote a third party to balance the situation. ”

Xue Bai was a little slamming when he first spoke, and when he said that he was interested in it later, he finally said: "With my current energy, no matter how much I make waves, I won't be shocked on a large level. ”

Killing a Hu Cao and rejecting a Jing Zhaoyin with a cane looks very powerful, but what he wants to see more is the change in the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and even the change in the tax system.

However, he knew that this matter was impossible, and the emperor and prime minister of the current dynasty would not touch the crux of the bloated and erosive until he died, that is, in the prosperous era of singing and dancing, he just played some games of great joy and power struggle.

"A third party, that's us?"

Yang Yuyao didn't feel anything dissatisfied, got close to Xue Bai, and said with a smile: "It's really a good brother, and he has a great ability to push me and the Yang family to the top." ”

"The Yang family hasn't reached the top yet."

"So what more could you want? Storage location? It's a pity that Yuhuan is not angry, and he doesn't even have a son. Otherwise, you will be your uncle a Zhou Gong. ”

"There's no rush in this matter, take your time." Xue Bai said: "The matter of fighting for the reserve, I will get to the bottom of it, and you and your brother will talk about it." ”

"Well, you say."

"This fire is bound to burn to the East Palace, but the saint doesn't want to toss the storage position at the moment, and it doesn't make much sense to stare at Li Heng, the key is - Wang Zhonghe."

"How did you get him?"

"All cases, to put it bluntly, are just a 'head', a reason for the sage to pick the wrong courtiers to balance the situation. So we make a fuss, and the result is a mess forever, which is what the saints hope to do. Li Heng is the 'national capital', Li Linfu is the 'capable minister', An Lushan is the 'loyal minister', I am a happy person, everyone plays with the saint every day, and it will not be easily eliminated, and there is always only one person who is really in danger, Wang Zhonghe. Do you understand? Continue to deal with the East Palace, and will not let Li Heng be deposed, the saint is never afraid of Li Heng himself, but the subject's expectations of the prince, the first is Wang Zhonghei, today I deal with the slave, eliminate the saint's killing intent against him, tomorrow I deal with Li Heng, this killing intent rises again. ”

Xue Bai had already said it very bluntly, even a little too bluntly.

Yang Yuyao didn't bother to listen to this large paragraph, so she simply closed her eyes, leaned her head on his shoulder, and sprinkled coquettishly.

"You say, 'How do we do that?'

"Win over Wang Zhonghei."

"Okay." Yang Yuyao said: "Let Brother take money and stone him to death?" ”

"Not really." Xue Bai said: "Right now, the saint doesn't trust the East Palace and the prime minister, but the one who trusts him the most is the elder brother. ”

"Brother is a little stronger, but he must be loyal to the saint."

"Yes, it has to be felt by the saint...... Because of his good personality, the elder brother didn't want Wang Zhonghei to be implicated by Li Heng, so he got close to Wang Zhonghei and persuaded Wang Zhonghei to stay away from the East Palace. ”

"So you can win over a general? What if the other party doesn't want to? ”

"How so?" Xue Bai groaned: "To make an inappropriate analogy, it's like a powerful person snatching a wife from a poor family, and no matter how unwilling the wife is, she can't help it." ”

Yang Yuyao was amused when she heard it and asked, "My Yang family is more powerful than the East Palace?" ”

"In this Heavenly Treasure Year, the Holy Favor is the greatest power......"

Why did Xue Bai remind Zhang Ting to blame An Lushan? If it weren't for that, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion would only go all out to deal with the East Palace, and would not investigate him in order to clear Hu'er's suspicions.

The reason why he suffered this was to protect the king's loyalty. However, it is not the prince's righteous brother who wants to be protected, but a loyal society and a loyal heir of Wang Zhong who is good friends with the Yang Party.

Harming others is only a means, not an end, and obtaining benefits is the goal.

borrowed a case to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, paving the way for the advent of bamboo paper, and let those who dare to fight its idea think about the fate of Yuan Zhuan; stepped on Li Linfu again and pushed Yang Dang one step up; turned his head and took advantage of Li Heng's burning to win over Wang Zhonghe.

If Xue Bai's previous plan was for himself, accumulating fame and contacts for his future, this time it was for his factional forces.

The popularization of bamboo paper will be a great achievement that is not inferior to Li Linfu's "throttling", and the support of some border town generals from Li Heng is the basis of the faction's strength.

The trial salt tax can only allow the Yang Party to be formed, and now it can be regarded as opening the way for the rise of the Yang Party, and the Xue Party will slowly grow under the wings of the Yang Party.

This is Xue Bai's plan hidden under the conspiracy, he is no longer the pawn under the right phase at the beginning, he manipulates the Yang Party behind the scenes to accumulate his strength.

~~

In the Glaive Hall, Li Linfu stood in front of the window and thought for a long time, and said, "We must win over Xue Bai." ”

There was a piece of white rattan paper on the table, which was the news that had just been sent, saying that Xue Bai had gone to Mrs. Qiu's mansion, which made Li Linfu feel a little jealous.

Li Xiu knelt on the ground, looked depressed, and said, "Grandpa, I'm just afraid of this...... It's hard. ”

"It's hard." Li Linfu said, walked to the door, pushed the door himself, and instructed the maid: "Go to Yuzhenguan and bring Seventeen Niang back." ”

"Grandpa wants to get married?"

Li Xiu understood as soon as he heard it, but when this old matter was brought up again, he only felt bitter.

At the beginning, it was he who strongly advocated marrying Seventeen Niang to Xue Bai, from recruiting a son-in-law to arranging Xue Bai's life experience with his own hands, and his sincerity was not insufficient. But as a result, Li Linfu completely ruined the marriage on the grounds of "the son of the enemy".

Now I regret it, but the situation is no longer the same.

"Grandpa, Seventeen Niang has become a monk, Xue Bai has taken refuge in the Yang family, and the holy family is in Zhenglong, I'm afraid that he may not be willing, right?"

"You think I'm willing to accept this viper?" Li Linfu scolded and asked a rhetorical question, and said angrily: "Yang Yan is just a fool, and he will pay homage to the prime minister soon." How capable is he? It's just a flag, who planted him?! ”

His jealous nature, as well as his concern for the phase, drove him a little mad.

He was so jealous of Yang Yan that he often forgot that Xue Bai was the son of Xue Rust, which was also due to the fact that Xue Bai never showed hatred.

Therefore, Li Linfu's deeper feeling is that a talent and quasi-son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was robbed by the Yang family.

In addition to not being able to get rid of it, he has personally tried twice, the first time he failed to frame, and the second time he was unsuccessful in suing the truth. Then, there is only one last way to send assassins.

"Xue Bai is the key to the Yang Party, and this son must be won over now."

Li Xiu said: "The child understands. ”

said that he understood, but he thought to himself, Grandpa has been the right minister for too long, and he only cares about what is most beneficial in everything, but it is too easy to ignore the wishes of others.

However, he was really forced to be anxious, Li Linfu's attitude still changed, and after talking about the interests of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he sighed, and really considered it from Xue Bai's point of view.

The old man knew that he didn't want to, so he begged the saint to marry, and did not hesitate to admit that he framed Xue Bai out of personal grudges. I thought that the saint would give the prime minister this face, but I didn't expect that the saint would have to think about it...... You say, what is there to consider about a marriage with a white body? ”

Li Xiu was puzzled: "Is it Xue Bai Sheng's family?" Or does the Yang family want to kiss him? ”

"It's all possible." Li Linfu muttered: "But the worst situation is that the East Palace will also marry him." ”

"This?" Li Xiu was surprised: "He is so popular? ”

"That's why you are a fool and didn't get the marriage done in the first place! Still don't know how serious the situation is? ”

"Child...... Know your mistakes. ”

"You can do this matter, show sincerity, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to recognize this son-in-law."

Li Xiu has a stomach full of bitter water to pour, but Li Linfu has already said so, he can only do it.

Even Grandpa can tolerate people, what else in the world is impossible?

……

In the right prime minister's house, the most enthusiastic about her brothers and sisters is Li Shiniang, and this matter is obviously inseparable from her help.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xiu beckoned her to come, she immediately became energetic.

"Am I right? At that time, I persuaded Grandpa to leave the grudge alone, and let Seventeen marry Xue Bai, isn't it just fun, but unfortunately Grandpa didn't listen to me, and Seventeen couldn't let go......"

Li Xiu sat there and kept rubbing her forehead, and finally waited for Li Shiyi Niang to finish speaking, and then said: "Seventeen Niang is a little unwilling, you persuade her." ”

"Why not? Don't like it anymore? ”

"Yes, it is not easy to cultivate the Tao and build a foundation, and I don't want to disturb my mood because of mundane things. But I can see that she has affection for Xue Bai. Presumably because my daughter's family is thin-skinned, I feel embarrassed to look back and ask for marriage, and I am worried that this matter will not work, and my daughter's family is not good at persuasion. ”

"She just can't wipe her face." Li Shiniang said: "If you had listened to me, you would have tightly bound Xue Bai." ”

Li Xiu frowned, and wanted to scold this sister a few words, not too vulgar, but there was no basis.

"Ahem, if you want people to listen to you all day long, can you rule the world?"

"Now that Grandpa rules the world, Grandpa will pay tribute to Grandpa in the future, and Brother Lang and Lang Jun will continue to pay homage to the Prime Minister." Li Shiniang covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm satisfied." ”

Li Xiu didn't bother to say more to her, and said, "I'll invite him to the mansion for a banquet first, right?" ”

"Are you invited to the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu?" Li Shiniang only felt funny, "Brother and Seventeen are too decent to do anything." ”

~~

There was a copper stove in the room, and on the stove was a sinister knob, and the incense in it was cold.

Li Shiniang just walked into the house and smiled: "Why don't you smoke incense?" Grandpa Ke gave you a lot of wisteria incense, this incense is also known as 'true incense', which is most suitable for you cultivators. ”

She may not be highly educated, but she is familiar with these precious things, and she knows the varieties of incense in the house when she smells them.

Turning the screen, I saw six boxes on the case, and when I opened it, it was clear that there was still a lot of wisteria incense inside.

"Hey, why not?"

"Wisteria is warm and non-toxic, regulates qi and stops bleeding, stasis and pain, and treats ventricular angina." Li Tengkong said, "Such a valuable medicinal herb can be kept for treatment." ”

"Who is grateful to you for not being able to? Stupid. Li Shiniang shook her head and teased, "Do you know what Grandpa called you back?" ”

Li Tengkong didn't answer, and looked at the clouds outside the window.

"Oh, you see that you are pretending to be this fairy wind bone, if you really don't want to, why are you still staying at home?" Li Shiniang sat down beside her and said softly: "People live in the world, and they should be honest with what you want." ”

"Grandpa said that he was willing to reconcile with him." Li Tengkong said: "I stayed for this reason." ”

"Do you know how to reconcile?"

"Sincerely."

"Silly woman." Li Shiniang only felt amused and said, "Do you know what he is doing in Aunt Yang's mansion at this time?" ”

"I ......"

"I'm afraid you don't know, show you."

Li Tengkong heard her say mysteriously, and couldn't help but wonder how she let herself see Xue Bai,

When I looked up, I saw Li Shiniang take out a scroll and spread it out triumphantly.

"Yikes."

The picture that made people blush, Li Tengkong was startled, and quickly turned his head.

"Get out of the way."

"Shame on what? How delicate this painting is. ”

Li Shiniang saw that Li Tengkong really didn't want to look at it, so she accepted the scroll and said, "I heard that Grandpa suffered a loss at the hands of the Yang Party, and the bad thing is that you failed to cage Xue Bai at that time." ”

"Me?"

"If you weren't so restrained, how could Xue Bai enter the Tao of Third Aunt Yang?"

Saying that, Li Shiniang deliberately ruined Li Tengkong's Dao heart, staring at Li Tengkong's cheeks a little red, knowing that she understood, before continuing: "In short, this time you will listen to me and absorb him." ”

"Don't say it, I'm a cultivator."

"What a cultivator." Li Shiniang had many ways to persuade her, and smiled maliciously: "If you don't want to, I'll do it for you." ”

~~

A day later, Xue Bai woke up and saw Mingzhu standing by the couch, bowing down to be blessed.

"Xue Lang is awake, and Uncle Guo is waiting in the hall."

Mingzhu will not call Yang Zhao "Uncle Guo", obviously referring to Yang Chen.

Xue Bai then said: "Brother Lao is still waiting, why don't you wake me up?" ”

"It's Uncle Guo's explanation, don't make a noise until Xue Lang rests."

Such thoughtful and caring words, whether sincere or not, are enough to show some attitude.

Xue Bai got up and went to the hall, only to see Yang Yan wearing a purple robe and official uniform without changing, sitting there waiting boredly, but his face was still happy.

"I actually made my brother wait for a long time, forgive my sins." Xue Bai stepped forward, and without waiting for Yang Chen to reply, he immediately said: "Presumably it's time to call 'Yang Xiangguo'?" ”

"Hahaha."

Yang Yan was still stretching out his hand to support Xue Bai, and when he heard the last sentence, he was already smiling.

"Ah Bai Mo is going to joke about being a brother, and the sage gave me the title of 'Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi', in fact, I don't know what official position it is. When I left the palace, I was the first to come to you. ”

Of course he came, although Xue Bai was not a curtain guest who could explain the meaning of the official title of the imperial court, he was a noble person who single-handedly pushed him to the stage.

To put it simply, the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia are located in the palace, and Yang Chen obtained this official title, and he has the qualifications to participate in the discussion of the political secrets of the court, which can be regarded as entering the list of governors. Although it has not replaced Chen Xilie and Li Linfu for the time being, it can interfere with them.

The two greeted each other warmly and sat down hand in hand.

"Brother Nu has been in charge of state affairs for more than ten years, and once he is replaced, the saint will have to make a big move, and he will be too lazy to move. Today, I use my brother because I am angry, and I think that I should cultivate my brother in case there are changes in the future. The meaning of the word 'cultivation' is seven words: 'cause less trouble and do more'. ”

Yang Yan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Brother has something unclear, I think Ah Bai will often cause trouble?" ”

"No, I never make trouble for the saints, I only cause trouble for Gonu and Li Heng. If you think about it, you will find that every time I do only one thing, when they are about to deal with me, I offer treasures to the saints. Others don't have so many treasures, so they naturally die. ”

"I see!"

Yang Yan didn't understand, knowing how many catties and taels he had, even if he asked about the general strategy for doing things in the future.

Xue Bai had actually asked Yang Yuyao to convey it, but Yang Yan still had to listen to him in person. This kind of admiration that has been generated through several incidents is not something that others can easily have.

At the end, Xue Bai said: "All in all, Brother only needs to do the two things I said, and then he can sit back and relax." ”

"But I'm still worried." Yang Zhen came for this, and said: "If I suddenly get a high position, I will make my brother red." When Wang Zhonghei is won over again, the East Palace is not happy, if they deal with me, what is good? ”

"It's okay, I'll deal with it."

"Then how do I get along with my brother in the political hall?"

"Feel free to do so." Xue Bai said: "We are not what we used to be, and their attitude has to change. ”

~~

After two more days in the Lady of Qiu's mansion, Xue Bai returned to the Xue Mansion in Changshoufang.

Now, although the saint wants to give him a mansion, he is actually still looking for it, and he must have to build and repair it for a while, after all, the saint is very generous.

"Lang Jun is back."

Xue Gengbo is now also used to Xue Bai being locked up for a few days at every turn, and he is not as worried as before. And I don't know when even this Xue family steward subconsciously called him "Lang Jun" instead of "Liulang".

"There are two stickers at home, please look at Lang Jun. The other party is very attentive, and hopes to come to the door tomorrow to invite Lang Jun to the banquet. ”

Xue Bai took it and saw that it was Li Xiu and Zhang Quyi who invited him to the banquet respectively.

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the East Palace used to be high-minded, but how could the characters in the power field insist on anything? Once he found out that he was not his opponent, he was fighting to give in to him and rushed to get close to him.

Because currying favor with Xue Bai has become as beneficial to progress as flattering Yang Guifei and General Gao.

Today, who dares to bury and frame Colliers alive?

This is what Xue Bai said, "today is not what it used to be", and the situation has changed.
