What is the explanation that you have no idea about?
Fang Xuanling didn't want to answer this question, but just covered it up and said: "It's just to give the saint the explanation he wants."
What nonsense are you talking about? Yu Zhining laughed angrily and looked at the bookshelf. He was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Fang Xuanling meant.
This time the saint was resolute and favored the East Palace. He had only one purpose, the two prime ministers of the Political Hall!
Now that things have reached this point, the two prime ministers have no choice but to bow their heads.
And bowing one's head means leaving the political hall.
Fang Xuanling's so-called stop loss refers to whether a sinus phase can be saved.
Li Shimin said that he might not be able to persuade him because Mr. Dou might not be able to accept the result.
After all, who is willing to give up the position of Prime Minister so easily?
Not only was Dou unwilling to give up, but Li Shimin actually didn't want Dou to give up. Because the Zhengshitang Prime Minister was a close minister of the emperor, assisting the emperor in handling government affairs. If there was any slight disturbance in the affairs of state, the Zhengshitang would be informed of it.
One of the two sinister ministers was missing, and Li Shimin felt a physical pain.
More importantly, he needs his own people in the political hall to resist the prince.
"Is there no other way?" Li Shimin finally asked Fang Xuanling without giving up.
Fang Xuanling shook his head.
He can clearly see the truth of the matter, but the problem is that the truth is not important.
The power of the King of Qin suppressed the prince and aroused the fear of the saints. This was the fundamental reason. In addition, the Dou family, who was born in Guanlong, basically had no way to save him.
Fang Xuanling even thought for a while that if it weren't for the war, what would happen this time would be even more violent.
Fang Xuanling had no choice. Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and Yu Zhining. They both shook their heads and said they couldn't think of a way.
Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded and said: "I understand, I will go to Dou Mansion tomorrow. In addition, auxiliary machine, please withdraw the manpower outside."
"yes."
Seeing that Li Shimin accepted, Fang Xuanling was slightly relieved, but he was worried that Li Shimin would insist on backing him now.
"Your Highness, there is a long way to go. Don't worry. This time, the East Palace won, but that may not be the case in the future."
"I hope so." Li Shimin waved his hand and dismissed the three of them. He was really tired, and he hadn't had much rest in the past few days.
Not long after Fang Xuanling and others left, Princess Qin walked into the study and saw the mess all over the place. She also saw her husband leaning against Yang He in a bad mood with a depressed look on his face. She went to sit behind him and knelt down, raised her delicate hands, and gently gave him a hand.
The husband rubbed his temples.
"Erlang, Cheng Qian was playing outside just now, and you scared him to tears."
"Is the child okay?"
"No."
Li Shimin was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "This time I really did a lot of useless work, and even annoyed Zhiyun for no reason. It's really, alas."
Changsun said thoughtfully: "I don't know much about court affairs, but I can often walk around with Princess Chu."
Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Mr. Guanyin, thank you for your hard work."
"This is what I should do." Mrs. Changsun gently hugged her husband's head and placed it in her arms.
Chu Palace.
Although Lao Li ordered Li Zhiyun to preside over the case, and the two assistant ministers Wen Dayou and Tang Jian assisted him, Li Zhiyun was not stupid. He knew very well that the crux of the case was not the truth, and it would be of little use to find out anything.
Therefore, fish decisively.
Of course, he didn't completely ignore it. He still pretended to be in place.
study.
"Tell me, can the second brother spot the real murderer this time?" Li Zhiyun held the teacup and blew hot air gently.
Opposite him, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou sat. After a period of cultivation and adjustment, their faces were rosy, their stubborn illnesses had been cured, and they were able to participate in discussions again.
Du Ruhui said: "The King of Qin is smart and Fang Xuanling is keen. After the court meeting, they must have understood by now that the saint was targeting the Dou family. As for the real murderer... I don't think others can see it. Fang Xuanling
You can definitely tell by your age.”
"Are you very optimistic about him?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Du Ruhui nodded, "When I first attacked Xue Ju, I worked with Fang Xuanling and knew that this man was very resourceful. It's a pity that His Highness did not recruit him, otherwise he would be even more powerful."
Li Zhiyun smiled slightly and said: "You know that he is good, and I'm afraid Fang Xuanling also knows that you are good. I think Fang Xuanling must have mentioned you a lot when they were discussing things."
Du Ruhui chuckled and lowered his head to drink tea.
Then, Li Zhiyun said yearningly: "I really want to see what effect it will have if you and Fang Xuanling are ministers in the same palace one day."
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "If that day comes, I would like to ask Your Highness to give you some advice, lest Fang Xuanling steal His Highness's heart."
Li Zhiyun twitched the corners of his mouth, and Lao Du's saucy words were caught off guard and almost hit his waist.
Xue Shou was also speechless and disgusting.
"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, that day will not be too far away." Xue Shou also joked.
The three of them laughed.
Getting back to the topic, Li Zhiyun said: "Now it depends on what the second brother will do."
"My subordinates feel that with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji around, the King of Qin will find a way to save a Prime Minister Dou. After all, there is also Chen Shuda in the Political Affairs Hall. If he can save a Prime Minister Dou, his loss can be tolerated.
" Du Ruhui said.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said melancholy: "The prince got an advantage this time and took advantage of the east wind to get an advantage over his second brother. I guess he must be very happy now, and maybe he is still planning for a candidate to succeed the prime minister."
Having said this, he couldn't help but smile.
Xue Shou said: "God is on His Highness's side. Originally, Ke Ming and I were still thinking about how to make His Highness recommend Yang Gongren to the saint after the matter is completed. Now His Highness has been ordered to investigate the truth of the case. If he makes meritorious deeds in the future, he can be justified.
He opened his mouth to recommend Yang Gongren to the saint."
Li Zhiyun couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and immediately said: "Now is not the time to relax. If Mr. Dou does not bow his head, this case will continue to be delayed."
"Your Highness, don't worry, it won't take long." Du Ruhui said: "After the autumn harvest, the imperial court will use troops externally. If King Qin wants to lead the army, he must stabilize the rear. In the opinion of his subordinates, results will be achieved within a month at most.
.”
Li Zhiyun nodded and immediately asked: "When will Yang Gongren come back?"
"It's almost time." Du Ruhui said, "It's time for him to return to Beijing in the near future."
"What about Pei Ju?" Li Zhiyun asked again.
Xue Shou said: "Liu Wenjing and Zheng Yuanxuan have already gone to Turks. In ten days at most, there will be news sent back to Chang'an."
"Okay, okay." Li Zhiyun said with a smile in his eyes.
The play has begun, the actors for the first half are already in place, and they are just waiting for the actors for the second half to come back.
Du Ruhui asked: "Your Highness, I heard that this time the saint asked Wen Dayou, the minister of Zhongshu, to assist Your Highness in investigating the case?"
"That's true." Li Zhiyun asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"This is an opportunity for Your Highness," Du Ruhui said.
"Opportunity?" Li Zhiyun asked: "What do you mean?"
Xue Shou pondered: "Do you want His Highness to win over Wen Dayou?"
Du Ruhui looked at Li Zhiyun and nodded.
Li Zhiyun put down the tea cup, was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, I know the talents of the three Wen brothers, but I have never interacted with them. I'm afraid things are not that simple."
The reason why he and Yang Gongren can have a good relationship is the relationship between the two. More importantly, Yang Gongren's current awkward position determines his embarrassing situation.
Because he was a former Sui Dynasty minister and had no backing, Li Zhiyun was able to take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity before the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.
