Yang Wei was stunned. He had never heard of this matter at all, so he couldn't answer it.

Zhang Ting said: "Before I came today, I was talking to His Highness about this matter. His Highness has always been at odds with the Du family, but some people always accuse him of having an affair with the Du family. The right minister said this, and the uncle also said so, As for discussing the Salt Law, what does it have to do with Your Highness?"

Yang Zheng and Pei Kuan were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, but when they were interrupted, they couldn't understand.

"That's it."

Suddenly, Gao Lishi laughed.

His smile was like the spring breeze blowing by, sweeping away the panic in the palace.

"I'm afraid you don't know, right?" Gao Lishi said: "Recently, there is a good story in Chang'an City. The eldest son of Jingzhao Du and the fourteenth mother of Youxiangfu are in love. However, the family does not agree with their marriage. This young couple I had no choice but to elope to Luoyang, and finally forced Duke Du to propose marriage to Youxiang Mansion a few days ago."

"Children love each other, and in the eyes of a caring person, it means they are intertwined." Zhang Ting asked Yang Wei, "Do you think so, uncle Guo?"

"I didn't mean..."

"What a good story." Li Longji had already waved his hand.

The reason why Zhang Ting mentioned this was to express his dissatisfaction with Li Linfu for wooing the Jingzhao Du family, and at the same time reminded the sage that it is common for the prince and the right minister to occasionally have a common political opinion. If they really join forces, they will not cause a marriage at this time. Come.

As long as the siege is solved, Li Longji will naturally know that Yang Hao is also trying to support the fire.

Gao Lishi joked: "This pair of people are following the royal decree of the saint."

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

"Don't you hear the sage's words in his poem, 'When we were young, we should not miss the good times'? This is truly a prosperous time."

Li Longji laughed heartily, pointed at Gao Lishi, and said: "My General Gao, I have General Gao... Everyone has to thank General Gao today."

"I don't dare, old slave."

At this time, the cards have been laid, and Gao Lishi retires with success.

Xue Bai smiled, very calmly.

He had never thought about killing the prince and right minister today.

Let's put it this way, even if it is done, what good will it do to him?

There are hundreds of harms and no benefit.

Firstly, he cannot worship the prime minister, and secondly, he cannot be the prince. He will only become the target of public criticism and become the target of all officials to get rid of him.

He didn't even have the qualifications to become an official, and he didn't even have a supporting prince, let alone the real strength such as foundation, faction, and military power. He never thought about freeing up the phase and reserve positions now.

Yang Zheng was very happy with his words. Can he and Pei Kuan be sure that he will be dismissed as prime minister and the prince will be abolished?

Step by step, I used the salt method to recruit talents and build strength. I didn't even take the first step. I was already thinking about reaching the sky in one step, and I didn't know how I died.

It doesn't matter if Yang Yang dies alone. When the country is in turmoil and the government and the public are uneasy, how many innocent people will be affected?!

Many times, Xue Bai and Gao Lishi's positions are the same.

Gao Lishi was never part of the Donggong family. Every time he took action to protect Donggong, it was all for stability.

Therefore, when Xue Bai wrote in prison, "When Wang Mang was respectful and modest, he did not usurp it," Gao Lishi did not care.

It is even exaggerated to say that even if Xue Bai had an affair with Zhang Liangdi, Gao Lishi would have pretended not to have seen it. What does the East Palace have to do with him, a eunuch who only serves the saint?

In a word, it doesn't matter how much you want to beat and scold the prince, but it won't do to abolish the throne and shake up the country.

We will do our best to protect those who can protect us, and we will do our best to stabilize the situation that can be stabilized. Therefore, Li Longji said, "Everyone has to thank General Gao today."

At this moment, Gao Lishi looked at Xue Bai again, with a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

The most difficult thing is not to harm others. Today in the palace, everyone is stronger than the last in terms of their ability to harm others.

What's really important?

Know how to measure.

The right minister, the East Palace, did not know how to measure and went too far; Yang Zheng just got the better of him and got carried away.

Only Xue Bai, even when the sage invited him to play dominoes, he had to take a look at Yan Zhenqing first.

Kindness must be repaid, debts must be repaid, teachers must be respected, and always remember who you are...these are the qualities most needed by the pillars of society.

~~

"What a fool!"

Li Longji suddenly laughed.

After Zhang Ting played tricks three times in a row, Xue Bai quietly played a card and finally let him play a big trick.

"Hahaha, the little girl is always impatient, but she doesn't know that she wins in the end."

"If you don't accept it, others are playing cards to the saint." Zhang Ting said with a smile, "But I am different. I have nothing to ask of the saint, I will definitely win!"

She is really suitable for playing such a card.

No matter how well he lays the cards, he is only second to Xue in playing cards. However, a prince Liangdi who has no desires or desires can really make the card game more interesting if she really dares to beat the saint.

Sure enough, Li Longji was more interested.

"Come again, come again!"

"..."

Yan Zhenqing sat at the banquet, sighing in her heart.

He could see the sage's recklessness and unrestrained generosity, and he could see the people fleeing and fleeing their homes, unable to bear the endowment of their families, but he could not connect these scenes together.

Nowadays, if he is a mediocre person, it would be fine, but he is extremely smart. The court is manipulated by him, and no one can control him, or even persuade him.

Yan Zhenqing, a Chang'an county lieutenant, could not persuade him, so he could only resign before the evening drum sounded.

Li Longji was so excited about playing cards that he actually left Xue Bai, Yang Zhen, and Zhang Ting to play cards in the palace all night. Li Heng wanted to accompany him, but was driven out by the saint's cold eyes.

By keeping his wife in the palace, Li Heng did not have to worry about making the same mistake as Li Xuan.

Zhang Ting is a great beauty, but she is far inferior to a peerless beauty like Yang Yuhuan. Although the saint does not even care about the laws of nature and human relations, his taste is indeed extremely high.

If Li Chan missed out on the crown prince position because of his wife, Li Heng married a good wife who could stabilize the East Palace this time.

~~

In Jinwu Quiet Street, Li Linfu's guard of honor returned to Pingkangfang in the dusk.

Thinking back to this day, he was so lost that he stayed in Yanyue Hall for a long time.

At nightfall, Li Xiu came and asked in a low voice: "Master, is it done?"

"I haven't suffered such a heavy blow in ten years. The power of the prime minister has almost fallen." Li Linfu murmured: "It's rare for me to make a mistake..."

Li Xiu also broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would have been better if I had won over Xue Bai."

For a moment, Li Linfu was in a daze.

He still spoke harshly and snorted coldly: "It is impossible to win over the son of an enemy."

Li Xiu's face became more and more worried. She had something small to say at home, but she didn't dare to say it.

Li Linfu was deep in thought and suddenly murmured something.

"The daughter of the Zhang family is quite fierce..."

The East Palace received a powerful helping hand from Zhang Liangdi. The saint must have regretted it, and it was even more necessary for the prime minister to suppress the East Palace.

For the time being, it is not advisable to target Yang Zhen, Pei Kuan, and Xue Bai too much, but to let the saint see that he is still attacking the East Palace, without slackness or selfishness.

Li Linfu then took out the small scroll again.

Behind Li Shi who had been crossed out by the ink pen, Pei Kuan had not yet been crossed out. Looking further back, he temporarily ignored many important ministers who threatened the phase, because now was not the time to deal with personal grievances.

A name caught my eye.

"Wang Zhongsi."

Li Linfu murmured, picked up his pen, and rewrote the list, moving Wang Zhongsi's name to the first one.
