Li Yan stopped talking.

He didn't know what to say.

After a while, Li Yan finally asked the right question: "Brother, aren't you attracted by the eunuchs and four nobles?"

Li Ye said: "Of course."

Li Yan asked in confusion: "Why?"

Li Ye said: "Because the eldest prince has been attracted by the prime minister."

Li Yan said in surprise: "If you are attracted by the Prime Minister, you won't be able to?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "The eunuchs and four nobles will not like anyone who is favored by the prime minister."

Li Yan was even more confused: "Why is this?"

Li Ye said: "Eunuchs and court officials have been opposed since ancient times, and this is one of them. If the court officials establish a crown prince, the new king ascends the throne and value court officials, the authority of the four nobles of eunuchs may be lost. If they want to ensure their own power, they must let the new king be established by themselves."

Li Yan shook his head: "I don't understand."

Li Ye said: "Think about how His Majesty ascended the throne."

Li Yan thought about it and then fell silent again.

This time he was silent for a longer time.

When the late emperor Xuanzong was reigned, he did not make a crown prince. At first, Prince Li Wen of Yun (renamed Li Yan after ascending the throne) was not favored. The other princes lived in the palace, but he lived outside the palace. At that time, the court officials liked King Kui Li Zi. However, when Xuanzong passed away, Wang Zongshi, the left army lieutenant of the Shence Army, made Li Wen ascended the throne and became His Majesty today.

After a long time, Li Yan raised his head and saw a bright color in his eyes: "I really have hope?"

Li Ye smiled: "Who else but you?"

Li Yan asked: "The four eunuchs are the most destined to be the Lone King? Why don't the Lone King know?"

Li Ye said: "They didn't like you before."

Li Yan was stunned: "Then do you say so much?"

Li Ye: "They will like you in the future."

Li Yan understood: "What are we going to do?"

Li Ye said: "There is someone who can help you."

Li Yan asked expectantly: "What kind of person is it?"

Li Ye said: "A eunuch?"

Li Yan asked in surprise: "Who?"

Li Ye said: "Tian Lingzi."

Li Yan said disappointedly: "He is just a servant in my house."

Li Ye: "He is also the adopted son of Lieutenant of Shence Army."

Li Yan said in surprise: "Why don't I know?"

Li Ye: "Because he hasn't yet recognized his adoptive father."

Li Yan fell silent.

Li Ye’s meaning is already very obvious. Li Yan wanted Tian Lingzi to recognize the Lieutenant of the Shence Army as his adopted father, and to please the eunuchs and the eunuchs and the eunuchs and the princess to support Li Yan as the crown prince.

Li Yan suddenly asked again: "Lieutenant Liu Xingshen of the Shence Army, Han Wen's promise, is deeply favored by His Majesty. His power is already extremely powerful. Will he recognize Tian Lingzi as his adopted son?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Why not? It is precisely because their power is extremely large that they cannot allow them to lose this power, so they need to find a prince to support him ascend the throne in the future."

Li Yan hesitated: "Your Majesty has so many princes, Liu Xingshen, why should Han Wen support me? I have mediocre qualifications, so I can barely achieve qi cultivation, and I am even more indifferent to the holy family on weekdays."

Li Ye pushed the sober soup back to Li Yan, looked at him and said, "It's because you have low cultivation and no holy relatives. Liu Xingshen and Han Wen's promise will support you. If you are favored and have the hope of becoming the crown prince, they will not support you. Just imagine, you originally had no hope of becoming the crown prince, but with their help, you will be extremely surprised. I am grateful to them and have great confidants?"

After Li Yan thought it through, he immediately became happy: "According to what you said, isn't this very simple?"

Li Ye shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not simple."

Li Yan didn't understand why.

Li Ye sighed and said, "First of all, if Tian Lingzi is very unbearable and does not reach Liu Xingshen at all, and Han Wenjie's vision of the Dharma, and they can't connect them close to each other, then there is no other thing. Fortunately, Tian Lingzi's cultivation is good and approaching Liu Xingshen, it should not be difficult for Han Wenjie to make an appointment."

Li Yan nodded and waited for Li Ye to continue talking.

Li Ye said: "Secondly, although you have the conditions to be supported by Liu Xingshen and Han Wenwen, these are theoretical analysis after all, and there are many variables to be implemented. After all, there are many princes, and they may not necessarily support you. This requires you to do something to make them good, so that they can pay attention to you and pay attention to you."

Li Yan immediately asked, "What do I want to do?"

Li Ye said: "It's not what you do, it's what I do."

Monk Li Yan and Zhang Er were confused.

Li Ye was helpless about Li Yan's slowness and sighed: "There are only two ways to make friends with others quickly."

Li Yan immediately asked: "What two methods?"

Li Ye said: "First, to meet their preferences; second, to solve people's difficulties."

Li Yan was stunned again.

Li Ye took the initiative to explain: "Eunuchs and court officials are not in dealing with each other. Since ancient times, the dynasty has so much power. Three provinces and six parts control most of the power of the dynasty. These were originally the bowls of court officials. Once the eunuchs gained power and wanted to take power, they could only divide them from the court officials. Now, the Shence Army was controlled by eunuchs, and the Privy Council divided the power of the Ministry of War, let alone the Xuanhui Court. Even the governors of the vassal states and eunuchs had to intervene."

"Your Majesty favors eunuchs. If you have any problems, you will instruct eunuchs to do it instead of court officials. Then eunuchs can take the opportunity to seize the power of court officials again. Eunuchs have great power and have the right to speak. Then the county magistrates and vassal states and military governors will bribe the eunuchs and curry favor with them after entering the capital, instead of flattering the prime minister and the officials of the six ministries. This is another thing that makes court officials dissatisfied..."

When Li Ye saw Li Yan being confused and looked confused, he knew that he could not explain in detail. So he put it simply: "In a word, eunuchs and court officials have conflicts. Lieutenant of the Shence Army, Privy Councilor, Xuan Hui envoy, Prime Minister and officials of the six ministries were not in agreement. Liu Xingshen, Han Wenyou and Wei Baoheng all had power to fight. If we can attack Wei Baoheng's party, Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyou will naturally be happy. This is to meet his preferences and solve people's difficulties."

Li Yan understood and quickly reacted: "Don't Duke Xing belongs to Wei Baoheng? You were going to deal with Duke Xing, Wei Baoheng and others - isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Li Ye smiled: "That's right."

Li Ye’s idea was actually not as simple as Li Yan thought, after all, the situation in the government and opposition was actually very complicated.

If Li Xian really died of suspicion, then it is hard to say that there were no eunuchs in the Battle of Bagong Mountain, and it is likely that the eunuchs and court officials joined forces. After all, Li Xian has a high cultivation level, many close friends, and powerful force. No one side alone may be unable to achieve it. Even if Li Xian is successfully assassinated, there will be many sequelae.

Li Ye can't deal with these people overnight, he can only do it step by step.

The main contradiction today, the imminent opponent that needs to be resolved is Li Guanshu and Wei Baoheng's party.

That night, Li Ye and Li Yan talked with each other. Li Yan was very excited and pulled Li Ye to talk nonstop until the afternoon of the next day that he felt tired and went to rest.

Li Ye couldn't sleep, so he asked his maid to prepare tea and go to the pavilion to drink tea and meditate. There was a small hill behind Prince An's mansion, which was only four or five meters high and covers an area of ​​three or two acres. The pavilion was on this mountain.

Li Ye called Shangguan Qingcheng to accompany him. Now, Shangguan Qingcheng is his number one confidant. Li Ye will take her with him if he has anything or not, and he has never concealed all kinds of things and plans.

After hearing Li Ye's brief description of the conversation with Li Yan, Shangguan Qingcheng was a little surprised: "Your Highness has already been in contact with the prince, why do you still have to make friends with eunuchs?"

Li Ye called Shangguan Qingcheng to sit down, pushed her a cup of tea, and said lightly: "In the current court, Wei Baoheng covered the sky with one hand. The prince's power is too small, and his status is not as stable as Mount Tai. This is also the reason why he can't wait to pull me into the gang... In this case, how dare I place all my hope on him?"

Li Ye drank a sip of tea and continued: "So, making friends with princes is to successfully become an official, and making friends with eunuchs is to completely defeat Wei Baoheng."

Shangguan Qingcheng reacted faster than Li Yan. She quickly raised a question that Li Yan did not realize: "If the Battle of Bagong Mountain was not unrelated to the eunuchs, then how could Liu Xingshen and Han Wen make an appointment with him, how could he make friends with His Highness?"

"The Battle of Bagong Mountain is hidden, and the truth is known to only a few people involved, and they are all big names. Among them, Li Guanshu and Kang Chengxun are obvious people. The eunuchs are hiding deeply. As long as I do not show interest in the Battle of Bagong Mountain and doubt their father's death, they should not think too much about it." Li Ye pondered.

Shangguan Qingcheng was still worried: "What if I think too much?"

Li Ye was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Let's go and see, it's just a fight between the two sides. It depends on who has the skillful means and can deceive the other party. As long as Wei Baoheng falls and King Pu ascends the throne smoothly, even if I break up with them, I may not be afraid of them."

Li Ye didn't tell Shangguan Qingcheng about something, nor could he say it. According to his experience in his previous life, Li Yan died in the 14th year of Xiantong, so he only had to hide it from the eunuch for two years. If things went well, Li Yan would ascend the throne at that time.

Speaking of Li Yan, Shangguan Qingcheng had some doubts: "It's not that the general is talking too much. Your Highness Pu likes to have fun, and he is simple in character and average ingenuity. If Your Highness Pu ascends the throne, I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Li Ye and did not continue.

Li Ye knew what Shangguan Qingcheng meant, and she wanted to say that Li Yan would never be a wise ruler.

Li Ye knew this, but he had no choice.

Among the princes, only Li Yan was close to him, so he could only assist Li Yan in ascending the throne.

Only when Li Yan ascended the throne and relying on his deep personal relationship with the Dragon, Li Ye will be highly valued. Then he will have the opportunity to prepare for his great disaster before the chaos in the world.

If Li Xian was really murdered in Huainan because of the emperor's suspicion, then any prince ascended the throne and would inherit Li Han's will after learning the truth about the Battle of Bagongshan, and it would be impossible for Li Ye to take control of power.

What's more, Li Yan's ascendance to the throne was also a choice of history.

"You go down. I'll thank the guests in the past few days, and I'll say I'm going to go into seclusion to practice." Li Ye ordered.

After Shangguan Qingcheng left, Li Ye took out the seal of King An.

Yesterday, Wu Hongshan added a king's crane to him and handed him over the seal of King An, which Li Xian had once held.

Staring at Wang Yin, Li Ye calmed down.

The An King Seal represents the title of Prince of the Tang Dynasty and has a trace of luck in the Tang Dynasty.
