Tibet

It was already noon, and Li Linfu took a carriage back to his mansion to take a rest.

He closed his eyes slightly, still sorting out the affairs of the Political Hall in his mind. Last year's great victory in the Battle of Shuofang, Absi must be killed even though he was far away, which greatly enhanced his reputation and prestige in the court, and also consolidated his position. .

At this time, it is no longer realistic for the emperor to consider using Yang Guozhong directly as the right prime minister. The establishment of a multi-phase system is actually a compromise for the emperor.

Why did the Sun Jiliang case suddenly occur, involving his grandson? Li Linfu was very clear about the mystery. This was the emperor Li Longji paving the way for the new three-phase candidate.

Knock yourself out in advance and don’t allow yourself to go against the person he chooses.

Li Linfu can guess two of the three new candidates. Wei Jiansu and Yang Guozhong must be there. The key is the third candidate. The Holy Sage said to consider military representatives, who may be the nine military governors, Anxi military governor Gao Xianzhi and It is impossible for Beiting Jiedushi to make Cheng Qianli because their influence is too weak.

Fanyang Jiedushi, Hepinglu Jiedushi An Lushan, Longyou Jiedushi Ge Shuhan, and Hexi Jiedushi An Sishun were all Hu people, so it is unlikely.

The remaining one is Xianyu Zhongtong, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, who is too junior and impossible.

Shuofang Jiedushi is currently led by Wang Yao of Guangping, so there is no need to consider it.

There is still another Hedong Jiedu envoy Han Xiulin, and his qualifications are far behind.

Zhang Qiqiu was demoted just because of Absi's rebellion.

If all the nine Jiedu envoys are excluded, then it is the Guanlong nobles.

At this time, Li Linfu suddenly thought of one person, Yu Wenjing, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was born in the army and had been a civil servant for many years. He was now the Minister of the Ministry of War and had sufficient qualifications.

It seems that this military representative is tailor-made for him!

Li Linfu vaguely guessed the intention of Emperor Li Longji.

If Yu Wenjing becomes prime minister, Yang Guozhong will not be isolated and will have allies in the political hall.

The other parties in the Sun Jiliang case were the Sun family and the Yuwen family. Regardless of whether his grandson Li Ye had any problems in the end, the emperor successfully aroused Yu Wenjing's hatred for him.

In addition, Wu Lang and Yu Wenluo divorced before, and the relationship between the two families has become sour. Once Yu Wenjing becomes Yang Guozhong's lackey, he will inevitably bite him like a mad dog.

Li Linfu was almost certain that the military representative the Emperor was considering was most likely Yu Wenjing.

What a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Linfu suddenly became a little anxious. Once Yu Wenjing became the prime minister, it would be a huge trouble for him.

In fact, Li Linfu still underestimated the skills of the emperor Li Longji. In the case of Sun Jiliang, Li Longji not only beat Li Linfu, but also beat Guo Guo's wife Yang Yupei.

Yang Yupei has always insisted that Yang Wei become the prime minister, because Yang Wei is easier to control by her. She opposed Yang Guozhong's appointment, which made the emperor Li Longji a little angry.

Li Longji gave Yang Yupei a question and asked Yang Hao to do it. Didn't you say that Yang Hao was very capable? Then let him answer this question, whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know after taking it out for a walk.

In Xuanyangfang, in Mrs. Guo Guo's house, Yang Yupei was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, an angry look on his face.

Just now, Yu Wenjing found Yang Yupei and told her the news that the Ministry of Punishment rejected the Sun family's request to open the case. The reason was obvious. The murder knife did not match the one used by Li Ye, and the Ministry of Punishment did not recognize the evidence provided by the Sun family.

The Sun family was greatly disappointed. Sun Mian went to his in-law Yu Wenjing to put pressure. Yu Wenjing had no choice but to come to Mrs. Guo Guo to inquire about the situation. In fact, he was also putting pressure on Mrs. Guo Guo.

Sun Mian was the young minister of Dali Temple, and Dali Temple also investigated the case. Regardless of the motive or method of killing, Li Ye was the biggest suspect. Sun Mian believed that Li Ye killed his nephew.

However, the Ministry of Punishment directly rejected the application for filing the case without even conducting a trial. The Ministry of Punishment was clearly shielding and excusing Li Ye, demonstrating Li Linfu's power to dominate the world, and also showing the incompetence of the Yang family.

At this time, the maid reported at the door, Madam, the second master is here.

Let him in!

After a moment, Yang Hao hurriedly walked into the inner hall, bowed and said, Third sister, is there anything urgent you want to do to me?

Yang Yupei asked with all his face: Aren't you clear about what you did? What do you think I have to do with you?

Yang Hao looked confused and said after a while: I'm busy with court affairs today and I really can't remember. Can Third Sister remind me?

Of course I'm referring to the Sun family's affairs!

Yang Hao opened his mouth wide, scratched his head and said: I heard that the Criminal Department is still investigating, and there is no result yet!

Yang Yupei gritted his silver teeth and said: The Ministry of Punishment has released the results this afternoon. It rejected the Sun family's application for filing a case and made it clear that Li Ye is not a suspect. You can see for yourself!

Yang Yupei kept the copy of the official document from the Ministry of Punishment in front of Yang Sui, and cursed: You are such a pig-brained person. You can't do such a simple thing well. What use do you have for you?

Yang Wei looked at the copy and lowered his head without saying a word. Yang Yupei banged the table with hatred, Throwing knives are different. You messed up even the most basic things. You really let me down.

Yang Zheng said after a while: The main reason is that it was too hasty, and some details are unknown. We only know that he uses the army's Liuye flying knife, but we don't know that it is specially customized.

Don't give me reasons, I want results. I praised your ability in front of the Holy Master, but this is how you show it to me? Aren't you slapping me in the face?

Yang Hao lowered his head and said with shame on his face: I let Third Sister down!

Yang Yupei sneered, You're not letting me down, you're letting the Holy One down. Don't say I didn't give you a chance, you couldn't seize it yourself.

Yang Hao suddenly panicked and said quickly: Third sister, you have to explain to the Lord that this matter is too difficult. Even if Yang Guozhong comes, he can't handle it well.

It's useless for you to tell me. I told you before that if you handle this matter, Yang Guozhong will have no chance. But you didn't cherish this opportunity and gave it to Yang Guozhong.

Yang Sui went back with a frustrated look on his face. Yang Yupei let out a long sigh and ordered: Prepare the carriage and enter the palace!

The person who met Guo Guo's wife Yang Yupei at the palace was not Emperor Li Longji, but another confidant of Li Longji, Yuan Siyi. Both Yuan Siyi and Gao Lishi served as eunuchs, and were regarded as Emperor Li Longji's right-hand men, but they had their own division of labor. Yuan Siyi Mainly on the inside, Gao Lishi on the outside.

Yuan Siyi was responsible for all affairs in the inner palace, while Gao Lishi was responsible for approving memorials and communicating with ministers. In terms of authority, Gao Lishi had much greater authority, while Yuan Siyi generally had no external contact.

Moreover, Yuan Siyi was so arrogant that he was favored and arrogant, so the scholar-bureaucrats kept a distance from him and were willing to go to Gao Lishi for anything.

But in terms of the trust level of Emperor Li Longji, the two of them are evenly matched, and even Yuan Siyi is slightly higher.

The affair between Mrs. Yang Yupei of Guo State and Emperor Li Longji was actually arranged by Yuan Siyi. Although Gao Lishi had heard about it, he did not know the specific situation.

Yuan Siyi is about fifty years old. He has a loyal face, but his appearance is marred by a pair of three white eyes, which adds a hint of sinisterness to his loyalty.

However, he has been following Li Longji for forty years. He has been by Li Longji's side since he was a eunuch. He has always been loyal and has won Li Longji's trust.

Yuan Siyi smiled slightly and said: Madam, don't worry too much. The Ministry of Punishment's rejection of the Sun family's complaint is actually the Holy One's wish!

Yang Yupei was stunned, Why?

Yuan Siyi said calmly: The purpose of the Holy Emperor is not really to arrest Li Ye and convict him. He just wants to warn Li Linfu. This morning, Li Linfu submitted a letter to resign from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the emperor approved the opinion of the Ministry of Punishments. Madam, This case is over.

But how to explain it to the Sun family and Yu Wenjing?

That is a matter for the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. They will continue to find a suitable murderer and give the Sun family an explanation.

But Li Ye is the biggest suspect

Yuan Siyi immediately interrupted Yang Yupei's words, Madam, you and I both know very well that this case has nothing to do with Li Ye. His grandfather was the Right Chancellor of the Tang Dynasty. He would not allow us to call a deer a horse, and the Holy Spirit would not do this either. Our family just I also said that this case has nothing to do with Madam, and Madam can withdraw.

Yang Yupei said helplessly: Okay! What does Yang Zhi say?

Yuan Siyi said calmly: The Holy One said that through this incident, he also saw Yang Wei's ability. To be honest, the Holy One is very disappointed. The Holy One still prefers Yang Guozhong. Madam, do you understand?

The Sun Jiliang case was carefully selected by Yang Yupei, and she was left to Yang Hao to do it, and she would take care of it. However, Yang Hao did not consider the details when doing things, and failed in the details in the end. This allowed Li Longji to find a reason to reuse Yang Guozhong instead of Yang Hao. .

It can be said that this case was that Li Longji killed two birds with one stone. It not only severely beat Li Linfu, but also made Yang Yupei unable to oppose Yang Guozhong's entry into Beijing.

Yang Yupei is the real leader of the Yang family. She is also ambitious and has a great desire for power. She is not able to come forward just because she is a woman. Therefore, she prefers Yang Hao, who is easy to control, to become the prime minister instead of Yang Guozhong. However, Yang Hao is a Adou couldn't help him, leaving Yang Yupei speechless.

She can only consider finding an opportunity to have some pillow sex!

Yang Yupei sighed and said: I understand, please tell your Majesty that I have no objection to Yang Guozhong's entry into Beijing!

Yuan Siyi said calmly: Madam, everyone who knows about this case must be wiped out. This is also the intention of the Holy One.

Yang Yupei nodded, I will kill the real culprit as soon as possible!

The three white eyes are wolf eyes, with only half of the pupils showing in the eyes, making them look more sinister.
