He already knew that Samurai Yu was Lao Li's favorite, so naturally he would not forcefully say that Samurai Yu was trash, but he had to express his thoughts, so he could only choose ambiguous words.
Li Zhiyun didn't express his thoughts, and Li Yuan didn't care, because this was the son in his impression.
However, Li Shimin was keenly aware of something unusual, because Samurai Yun had been unknown and transparent before. Was his relationship with Pei Ji that close? Why did Pei Ji recommend him this time?
Or is this what the father meant?
Thinking of this, many doubts in his mind suddenly became clear. Dou Wei's departure was not accidental but inevitable.
Now, the only ones who can't see clearly are Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. The gamblers who entered the game can't get away from it, and they won't regret it until they lose all their chips.
He has made up his mind to get rid of Samurai Yu!
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, "Prince, do you think the warrior Xun can hold the position of prime minister?"
"I don't know, this matter needs to be discussed by all the ministers."
Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng was not convinced, so he looked gloomy and snorted coldly.
Of course Li Jiancheng was not convinced. Why should he take the lead in the charge to kill Dou Wei, and finally let the samurai Xun pick the peaches?
Warrior Xun, it's up to you to see if I do it or not!
Li Zhiyun had a panoramic view of this scene, and his heart burst into laughter.
The next day, a fierce verbal dispute broke out at the court meeting.
This time, Pei Ji and the prince are the protagonists. Pei Ji recommended the warrior Xun to be the prime minister for good reasons. The warrior Xun is a Yuan Cong of Jinyang, he is also capable, and has made a lot of achievements. He was the one who led the case of the Dou family's private crossbow case.
Found out.
The prince still stubbornly recommended Li Gang and repeatedly stated that Li Liyan's matter had nothing to do with Li Gang.
King Qin was mainly responsible for shielding Pei Ji this time, and starting small group battles from time to time, adding fuel to the fire and making Pei Ji and the prince fight like crazy.
Li Zhiyun paddled in the water every day and watched the performances of the court officials.
At the end of the quarrel, Li Yuan decided to deal with Li Liyan and dismiss him from his post for investigation. As for Li Gang, Li Yuan did not intervene and chose to deal with it coldly.
This statement basically announced that Li Gang had once again missed the position of prime minister.
Li Gang, a direct minister, looked extremely lonely and dazzling standing in the court. He failed to get the chance twice, which was really miserable. The first time was the sudden rise of Chen Shuda, and this time a warrior appeared out of nowhere to destroy him.
Good thing.
As for the bratty Samurai Yu, the happy look on his face can hardly be concealed, and everyone can see it.
However, due to the fierce opposition of the prince, Lao Li did not forcefully announce that the warrior Xun would become the prime minister. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the prince could not hold on for long.
Yuanhu Restaurant.
"Li Shangshu served in two dynasties, why can't he become the prime minister? I think it's because the court is not trusting the ministers of the previous dynasty!"
"What this brother said is absolutely true. Li Gang has always been famous, but this is not enough for him. What kind of warrior is he? Why does he have such a good reputation?"
"Not only Li Gang, but also Pei Ju. He was also an important minister in the previous dynasty."
"You don't know, I heard that the samurai Yu often logged wood in the Wannian area and made a lot of money!"
"What? Is this happening?"
The crowd gathered together in an instant to gossip about Samurai Yun.
As common people in the capital, they usually have nothing else to do but like to gossip about the private affairs of the court ministers. Which king found a concubine, which minister was caught and raped in bed by his own tigress while visiting Pingkangfang, and the emperor...
He secretly got a few concubines into the palace and so on.
Anyway, you won't die just by talking about it.
Within a few days, the discussion inside Yuanhu Restaurant gradually spread.
Among them, the most influential ones were the imperial court's objections to the ministers of the previous dynasty, and how much land the warrior Yu had enclosed in Wannian.
These two rumors made the rounds, causing public opinion to boil.
Prince Chu's Mansion, Study Room.
"That's it for now, let the water flow and the flies retreat."
"As ordered." Li Zhen clasped her fists and stepped back.
After a while, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou walked in one after another.
"You two, it's time for us to perform." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
Xue Shou laughed, looked at Du Ruhui in admiration and said, "Ke Ming knows things like a god!"
Du Ruhui waved his hand and said humbly: "Good luck, good luck."
If you analyze this kind of thing correctly, you will indeed be able to predict things like a god.
"Your Majesty, now that rumors are spreading everywhere, the court must respond. I think the prince will definitely hold on to Samurai Yun and ask the court to thoroughly investigate Samurai Yun."
Li Zhiyun said: "What does Na Keming think we should do next?"
"Wait." Du Ruhui said.
"wait?"
Du Ruhui nodded, "When rumors appear, the court will definitely investigate, and we must not expose them. Both rumors are beneficial to the prince, so the prince is the biggest suspect. But the prince knows that he did not do this, so he will doubt this.
It is King Qin who is stirring up trouble, so we have to wait for them to fight until both sides lose."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun chuckled.
The prince knew that it was not him who did it, and he suspected that it was the King of Qin. The King of Qin knew that it was not his doing, and he doubted the prince. As for Lao Li, he felt that the prince was dissatisfied.
"Where is Yang Gongren?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"Back to Your Highness, we have arrived in Longzhou." Xue Shou bowed and said.
"Send him a message and tell him to slow down."
"yes."
Li Zhiyun walked around in the study for a while and said regretfully: "No one recommended Pei Ju this time, which is really not in line with our expectations."
Originally, Li Zhiyun planned to let Pei Ju go up and fight the warrior Xun in the ring after Li Gang was dismissed, but no one recommended Pei Ju to become the prime minister, so part of their plan was lost.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, there is no need to regret. Although Pei Ju failed to enter the game, our goal has been achieved. The prince recommended Li Gang twice and ignored Pei Ju. Pei Ju must have some grudges in his heart and find it difficult to enter the East Palace. And the saint wants the warrior Yu to take over.
They will definitely hinder the prince. Now that the rumors are out, the saint will definitely deal with them carefully. Li Gang's dead move still has a chance of survival."
Xue Shou said: "This glimmer of life will keep the prince following until the saint forcibly extinguishes it for the sake of the warrior Xun."
"By that time, Warrior Yu will have no chance." Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "My father will definitely not ignore the rumors of not paying attention to the ministers of the previous dynasty. Excluding Li Gang, Warrior Yu will not be able to forcefully enter the prime minister."
After waiting for so long, I finally waited for this day.
Li Zhiyun said: "The evidence collected by Samurai Yun will be handed over to the common people and asked to go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. The second brother likes to solve cases recently, so let him solve enough cases."
"As commanded."
Xue Shou and Du Ruhui took orders and went down to do their work. Li Zhiyun walked out of the study, looked at the blazing sun outside, and grinned.
This feeling of being in control of the overall situation is hard to pin down.
However, it was not time to relax yet. If Yang Gongren was not in the mood for a day, he could not let down his guard for a day.
Walking around the house, I saw two figures, one large and one small, admiring flowers not far away.
Princess Chu and Wei Gui get along very harmoniously. Because they have common topics, the two women can chat happily together. In addition, Xiao Shun Niang likes to come to the palace to visit Xiao Bao Niang, so now Wei Gui often comes to the palace to visit.
Li Zhiyun was busy with government affairs and rarely disturbed Wei Gui, so Wei Gui gradually let go of his wariness when they first met.
Now, Li Zhiyun and Wei Gui are somewhat familiar with each other.
Seeing Wei Gui taking his daughter to enjoy the flowers, Li Zhiyun walked up with a smile and prepared to enjoy the flowers too.
