Without the Dugu family, why would someone named Li be the emperor?
Dugu Xiude said angrily: "If there is no one from the Dugu family to provide money and food, how will it be his turn to take the throne? He is trying to burn bridges across the river!"
"That's right, he only lasted a year after being on the throne. How could he be so shameless!" Dugu Yanshou was also furious.
Dugu Zhen sneered: "How many emperors have crossed rivers and demolished bridges? Yu Wenyong, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, none of them have ever done this."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while.
The Dugu family keeps investing, losing money, then investing again, and losing money again. Whenever they think they are making money, their investment boss always wants to take action on them.
Even though the Dugu family are relatives from three dynasties.
Dugu Zhen said indifferently: "When he married the Dugu daughter for Li Mi, I felt something was wrong, but now I understand. In fact, even if Huai En did not follow him, as long as Li Mi conspired to rebel, he could still do it because of Li Mi's relationship with the Dugu family.
And to attack the Dugu family. As for Li Mi, he is just a chess piece. As long as he is released, Li Yuan can declare him to be rebelling at any time."
"What a deep scheming." Dugu Sheng snorted coldly.
Dugu Yanshou asked: "Then what happens this time?"
"In order to save Huaien, I have reached an agreement with him and resigned."
"Resign from the Prime Minister!" Dugu Huaien was shocked and said hurriedly: "Master, how can you give up the position of Prime Minister!"
"Do you think I am willing?" Dugu Zhen glanced at him and said, "I have figured it out. Guan Long dominates the third of the six ministers of the political affairs hall. Li Yuan will never tolerate it. Even if I can continue to stay this time, he will still be the same next time.
They will find a way to deal with us. In that case, why don't I take a step back."
"Why is the head of the family retreating and not the Dou family? There are two of them in the relationship." Dugu Xiude said.
"Hehe." Speaking of the Dou family, Dugu Zhen sneered, "How long do you think Dou Wei can stay in that position?"
Dugu Yanshou said dissatisfied: "We helped him ascend the throne, how could he fall out so quickly?"
"Innocent." Dugu scolded: "He is no longer Li Yuan, but a saint of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he cannot tolerate others telling him what to do."
"What kind of saint would he be without us?" Dugu Huaien said: "Master, Duguji is still in Luoyang, so he is not as good as us..."
"Shut up!" Dugu Zhen interrupted him and cursed, "You are seeking medical treatment in a hurry!"
Duguji is the father of Dugu Xiude and the cousin of Dugu Huaien. He is currently serving Emperor Tai in Luoyang.
Dugu Zhen said angrily: "You think I showed weakness because I was afraid of him? Wrong!"
After a pause, he explained: "Every family in Guanlong, starting from Yang Jian, has been suppressed repeatedly. Later, we failed to support Yang Yong and were suppressed by Yang Su. Not to mention Yang Guang, he was even more crazy in order to weaken us. How many
It’s not that you don’t know that the disciples of Guanlong died tragically in Liaodong!”
"Due to repeated trauma, families in Guanlong are now in urgent need of recovery. We support Li Yuan, firstly because he is from Guanlong, and secondly because he has been honest and responsible before and is in control. But we did not expect that we were deceived by him.
.Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, the families in Guanlong and Longxi don’t want to suffer the pain of displacement anymore, and no one is willing to go through the trouble.”
"Besides, Li Yuan is only targeting the Dugu family, not everyone, and your position in the court has not changed, which shows that he is still trying to avoid the rat. In this way, if I continue to stay in the political hall, I can only restrict each other with Li Yuan
."
"Then let's just forget it?" Dugu Huaien's eyes widened.
"Forget it?" Dugu Zhen sneered: "I just said I would take a step back, but I never said I would give up."
Dugu Sheng asked: "What does the head of the family plan to do?"
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. The world is not yet settled, and big things have not yet been accomplished. Whether it is Li Yuan or others, our Dugu family is a presence that they cannot ignore. When I am in the bright light, my vision is often limited, but now that I have stepped back, I can see more clearly.
More convenient for layout.”
Dugu Zhen warned: "You must be careful in your actions in the future and don't be careless."
"yes."
After the ancestor worship at the palace, Li Zhiyun planned to go home, but he didn't want to be stopped by the prince's brother on the way.
"Chengzong, call me uncle." Li Zhiyun amused as he hugged the prince's eldest son, Li Chengzong.
Princess Chu said angrily: "The child is still so young, how can he talk?"
With that said, she took the child from Li Zhiyun's hand, gently tapped the child's nose, and praised with a smile, "He will be a handsome young man when he grows up."
The Crown Princess said it was windy outside, so she pulled Princess Chu onto the carriage to talk.
"Congratulations, brother."
Li Jiancheng said happily: "I heard from my father that your concubine is also pregnant. In the future, Chengzong will also be able to have several playmates of the same age."
"Yes, I heard that my second sister-in-law is about to give birth. Our Li family is prosperous." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
Li Jiancheng smiled unnaturally and said immediately: "Zhiyun, have you heard the rumors about the court?"
"gossip?"
"About Prime Minister Dugu."
Li Zhiyun suddenly realized and said with disdain: "Brother, there is no need to think too much. Prime Minister Dugu has worked so hard and accomplished so much that he will never leave the court. In my opinion, this is most likely groundless. Brother, there is no need to take this matter to heart."
"Not necessarily." Li Jiancheng said: "You were also present when Dugu Huaien happened."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was extremely speechless. You are boring to say these things during the Chinese New Year.
"What do you mean, brother?"
Li Jiancheng turned his back to the wind, looked at Li Zhiyun, and asked: "If Duke Dugu really leaves the court, who do you think will be the one to take the chance?"
Li Zhiyun knew that if Chou Yinmao was not revealed today, Li Jiancheng would not let him go.
"If Mr. Dugu really resigns, I think my father will use Chen Shuda, Huangmen's minister, as his prime minister."
"Why?"
"Because Chen Shuda is now the judge, with his qualifications, he is the most suitable to be the prime minister."
"But I think it is more suitable for Prince Zhan, the Minister of Rites, to serve Li Gang." Li Jiancheng said seriously.
No, brother, are you serious?
Li Zhiyun whispered: "Brother, in terms of qualifications, Li Gang is certainly enough. It's just his past..."
Li Gang was a well-known straightforward minister. He failed to teach Yang Yong well back then, so he dared to pass the blame directly to Yang Jian, and he actually succeeded.
Will Lao Li create trouble for himself and allow such a person to enter the picture?
The answer is yes.
Won't!
He targeted the Dugu family just because the Dugu family was in trouble. How could he drive away one and then attract another? Isn't that an act of mental retardation?
Li Jiancheng ignored him and looked at Li Zhiyun meaningfully, "I think Li Gang is more suitable."
Saying that, he patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder.
With this tone and action, Li Zhiyun was not a fool and turned a blind eye to such suggestive behavior.
"Brother, I understand."
"Okay, as long as you understand." Li Jiancheng said happily: "How about we brothers stay up together tonight?"
Of course, Li Zhiyun refused and refused with a smile, "Brother, I better not disturb your family's stay together."
"Hahaha, okay, I won't keep you."
After bidding farewell to Li Jiancheng and his wife, Li Zhiyun sighed and took his wife back home.
