Chapter 53 Li Tai's worries
in the tavern.
Li Tai and Ying Yuanming were still talking with smiles on their faces, but they were a little wary in their eyes.
Li Tai put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Now the mountain rain is about to come in the imperial capital!"
Ying Yuanming looked at Li Tai meaningfully and said, "Isn't it all under the control of Prime Minister Li Cheng?"
Li Tai shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, this is a promotion of Li, and the small situation is easy to control, but this is the overall situation...... I'm afraid it's still in the master's hands!"
Hearing this, Ying Yuanming glanced up at Li Tai, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly they both laughed.
The imperial capital, for Ying Yuanming, of course, the more chaotic the better, only when the imperial capital is chaotic, Win Yuanming can return to Liaozhou and benefit from it.
But this is not the case for Li Tai, the more chaotic the imperial capital is, the more neutral those neutrals will not make a choice soon, so Li Tai can't move them, unless...... The emperor moved them with him.
Of course, this situation is almost impossible, and before the emperor has made a statement, he has to make the same choice as the emperor and win over these people.
This is not a good phenomenon for Li Tai, under the chaos, there are too many gamblers, the more chaotic the imperial capital, then these neutrals will be more fearless, and after a long time, then the people on their side will inevitably be dissatisfied.
To be honest, the chaotic situation is not what Li Tai and the emperor want to see, for the two of them, only a calm and relatively balanced imperial capital is in the interests of both of them.
However, under the chaos, it is also good for Li Tai, but it is ...... This benefit is uncertain.
Under the chaos, gamblers will increase, and in the current situation, they will ...... It's well worth it for these gamblers to bet.
But can such a person dare to believe it? In the midst of the chaos, how many of these neutrals are the emperor's people? I don't know at all, what if it is the emperor's side who takes refuge?
Do you want to investigate it yourself?
But what if not? No matter how secretly they investigate, how can they not leak a single piece of information? But if the news leaks, what will the people who have just thrown themselves into themselves think? Do they not trust them? What about the people who will turn to them again in the future? Do they still have the heart to throw themselves into themselves again?
Therefore, compared to now, Li Tai prefers the calm imperial capital, the imperial line, the Li Fa line, and the neutral family to maintain a balance, fight with the emperor himself, and the neutral person comes out and dilutes the mud, so that he can gain the upper hand.
But after looking at Ying Yuanming, Li Tai knew that this was what Ying Yuanming wanted to see, for Ying Yuanming, what is the accusation of the people in the royal family, he will return to Liaozhou tomorrow, what can you blame for the accusation?
The more chaotic the imperial capital, the safer it will be for Ying Yuanming's Zhenbei Wangfu line, because the emperor will not take Ying Yuanming at this time, at least when the emperor has not regained calm, he will take down the Zhenbei Wangfu line, what will the world's public opinion think?
The news of the discord between the Zhenbei Wangfu and the emperor is not only known to the people in the upper echelons of the empire, but also the people of the world, the whole world of Great Qin, from the imperial capital to the localities, from the high to the low, the scandal of discord within the imperial family will spread throughout the entire Great Qin, can the emperor bear this result when the imperial capital is in chaos?
Obviously, it can't, because once the whole world knows about it, then those who are at odds with the imperial family in the imperial capital, such as him Li Tai, will use this as an excuse to attack the imperial family and the emperor.
Therefore, the more chaotic the imperial capital, the happier Ying Yuanming became, Li Tai looked at Ying Yuanming with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, this trick of yours is really wonderful, even the ministers are in the calculation of the prince, and the prince is really good at planning!"
Ying Yuanming looked innocent, pretending not to know anything, and said, "Prime Minister Li, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Li Tai shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, just the two of us, you don't need to pretend, the minister is still too conceited, I thought everything was in the minister's plan, but after all, the minister missed a trick!"
Ying Yuanming shook his head, saying that he didn't know, but he sneered in his heart, isn't this in Li Tai's plan?
If you say that you are not in Ying Yuanming, you will never believe it, he and Li Tai are also old friends, for this prime minister who is sometimes an enemy and sometimes a friend, Ying Yuanming can be said to know a lot, Li Tai is by no means a person who can't see his thoughts.
Such a simple truth, if Li Tai can't see it, then what kind of prime minister is Li Tai?
Now that the imperial capital has been in chaos, it can be said that the current situation is extremely good for himself, as long as he returns to Liaozhou, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he has the confidence of 100,000 private soldiers, and there is the chaos of the imperial capital, if his emperor's nephew dares to free his hands to clean himself up, then he really has to look up to him!
Li Tai looked at Ying Yuanming, who did not admit it, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said, "So, Lord Wang, can you tell the minister what the real purpose of the Lord is ?"
Ying Yuanming looked puzzled and said, "What the prime minister said is ......"
Li Tai said: "If the prince is just to let His Majesty see your determination, the minister doesn't believe it, so can the prince tell me your true purpose." Of course, the prince can also choose not to say it, and the minister will not ask again. ”
After speaking, Li Tai looked at Ying Yuanming tightly, Ying Yuanming held the wine glass, and said: "The prime minister is really the prime minister, and it is not easy to sit firmly in the position of prime minister for more than 300 years. There is naturally a reason for this, and I don't want to say it now, because, soon the prime minister will know!"
Li Tai smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the minister will wait and see, hahaha!"
The two laughed non-stop, and after a while, Li Tai said again: "Lord Wang, I don't know if you have heard that the Shuzhou Heavenly Sword Sect was born in six days?"
Ying Yuanming nodded, there was no need for him to deny it, this matter, but all the forces that planted eyeliner in Shuzhou knew that although the Heavenly Sword Sect was very low-key, it was one of the top ten immortal sects after all, and the news of its birth would eventually come out, and the spies arranged by Ying Yuanming in Shuzhou had already told Ying Yuanming the news.
Seeing that Ying Yuanming nodded, Li Tai was not surprised, and continued: "Shuzhou is the son of the minister, Li Zhe, who is guarding the town, I don't know if the prince has any good suggestions, the minister ...... The minister is worried that there will be some turmoil at this juncture!"
Ying Yuanming frowned, a little confused, and said, "I don't know if the prime minister is talking about the Heavenly Sword Sect or the ......."
Li Tai nodded, sighed, and said: "It is the latter, the Qing Dao Sect has suffered a big loss, and now the Heavenly Sword Sect is also born, and it is still in the place where the dog is guarded, if that person is dissatisfied, then ......"
Li Tai didn't finish speaking, Ying Yuanming already understood what Li Tai meant, if his emperor's nephew was unwilling to be lonely and made some waves at this time, then ...... It is not only Li Tai who is involved, but also his son Li Zhe.
Ying Yuanming was silent, he didn't know how to answer, because with his understanding of this emperor, this situation was not impossible.
Ying Yuanming pondered for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know if Li Zhe has done something that violates Qin Law?"
Li Tai frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, even if there is, it should be just some small things, not enough to kill it with Qin Law!"
Ying Yuanming looked at Li Tai and said lightly: "Don't forget, Lord Wang, Your Majesty also set up an inspection envoy post two days ago, do you know who this position is?
Ying Yuanming didn't plan to tell Li Tai about Ying Kongchen's appointment as an inspector, after all, this matter was a secret between the emperor and the king of Zhenbei, and if he told Li Tai about this matter, Li Tai would probably have to be suspicious again.
After all, the patrol envoy has such great power, if it is not because of trust, why would the emperor give it to win Kongchen?
If Ying Yuanming was Li Tai, he would have thought the same, so Ying Yuanming concealed this matter.
And what he didn't know was how big a wave he would make after his concealment.
When Li Tai heard Ying Yuanming's words, his brows furrowed again, and he asked, "Lord Wang, you don't know?"
Ying Yuanming shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Your Majesty has killed Gu, will you tell Gu such an important thing?"
Li Tai nodded, and did not doubt it, after all, what Ying Yuanming said was indeed right, Ying Kongli had revealed his murderous intentions to Ying Yuanming, how could he expose such an important chess piece to Ying Yuanming?
Therefore, Li Tai didn't think about winning Kongchen at all.
Li Tai looked out the window, sighed, and said: "No matter what, at this time, I can only hope that the person will not toss, if the dog really deserves it, then the minister will admit it!"
As he spoke, Li Tai's whole body changed, his eyes were full of coldness, and he continued: "But if it is nonsense without evidence, then the minister is not a vegetarian!"
Ying Yuanming looked at Li Tai, his eyebrows jumped, thinking that Ying Kongchen had served as an inspection envoy, Ying Yuanming had a bad premonition in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
If Ying Kongli heard the conversation between the two here, he would definitely applaud, because the analysis of the two was basically close to his plan.
After a few breaths, Li Tai collected his momentum, saw Ying Yuanming, who was a little distracted, and hurriedly said: "Just now, the minister didn't pay attention, and he was a little out of shape, and I hope that the prince will forgive him." ”
Li Tai thought that Ying Yuanming was a little distracted because of his gaffe just now, how could he have thought that Ying Yuanming was a little distracted because he thought that Ying Kongchen had served as an inspection envoy.
Hearing Li Tai speak, Ying Yuanming came back to his senses at this time, did not explain, let Li Tai think like this, then waved his hand, and said: "The prime minister said that he was ashamed, he was ashamed, he could lose his mind here, he was really ashamed!"
Li Tai shook his head and said with a smile: "Why did the prince say this, this matter is the fault of the minister!"
Then the conversation changed and said: "Lord Wang, what do you think should happen at this moment, we have also seen that person's methods, after all, there must be a countermeasure, otherwise, the matter of the Qing Dao Sect will definitely repeat itself!"
Ying Yuanming took a sip of wine and said: "Prime Minister don't have to worry too much, learn from the experience of the last time, do a good job of protective measures, and don't let him have a chance to take advantage of it!" Of course, there is also the most important point, that is, Li Zhe must not violate the Qin Law, otherwise, not to mention Your Majesty, even if he is lonely, he must be cleaned up first!"
