Chapter 98 Yang Yuhuan's Bewitchment
--------------------------
Yang Xi's judgment was basically correct. In the next few months, the overt and covert fighting between Li Bin and Li Lin became very fierce.
When Li Lin talked with Li Longji in court or privately, he would make some constructive suggestions from time to time, and implicitly criticized Li Bin, the prince, for having been in office for several years and not achieving much, even when he was supervising the country on his behalf.
Same, almost nothing is done.
This made Li Bin feel a little crazy. In these aspects, he was indeed lacking in ability and could not think of more strategies to benefit the country and the people. In addition, he had no experience in handling court affairs. When he was supervising the country on behalf of Li Longji, many things
He didn't know what to do, let alone didn't dare to do it. This made Li Longji a little disappointed with his performance when he was in charge of the country, and did not surprise the ministers.
Li Bin is somewhat similar to Li Xian, which is the judgment made by many ministers.
Although Li Bin was not completely clear about the impression and evaluation of Li Longji and the ministers on him, he knew that it would definitely not be too good, which made him a little worried. In addition, Li Lin had changed in the court after Li Longji looked at him differently.
, the worries in my heart are getting worse day by day.
When he felt that Yang Xi was threatening him, Li Bin never thought that such a scene would occur.
What disappointed him was that during this period when the fight between him and Li Lin became apparent, Yang Xi did not take any action. He hid in the house all day and failed to do anything he promised to help. This made him resentful and also...
I feel a little regretful, I shouldn't have burned the bridge with Yang Xi.
He also visited Yang Xi's house later, hoping that Yang Xi could help him. Of course Yang Xi agreed and told Li Bin not to be nervous.
Yang Xi's analysis is that although Li Bin has not made any amazing achievements, he has not made any mistakes, nor has he had any grudges with influential ministers in the court. In this case, Emperor Li Longji also
I can't find any reason to change the title of crown prince.
Li Bin took Yang Xi's words as excuse. However, he had no choice but to leave in a depressed mood.
According to Yang Xi's judgment, Li Longji must have really thought about changing the crown prince. When he often called Li Lin to the palace to talk about things, he also discussed with some ministers about the character and other related issues of Prince Li Bin and Yong Wang Li Lin.
.Li Longji’s inquiry made the ministers
They all felt strange, but no one dared to express their opinions on this matter, and most people were unconvinced about it. Or they thought that the current prince had good character. Yongwang Li Lin also often considered court affairs, which was a blessing for the Tang Dynasty, etc.
As long as there is no offense on both sides.
In fact, what Yang Xi said to comfort Li Bin was right. After all, the matter of changing the crown prince is not a trivial matter, but a very important matter, and may even cause turmoil in the world. Even if Li Longji has this idea now, he must really put it into practice.
It also takes a long time. For example, he had long had the idea of deposing Li Heng as crown prince. But he still didn't make a decision after procrastinating for many years. In the end, he finally made the decision because of Li Heng's rebellion.
But the authorities are obsessed with it, and Li Bin, one of the parties involved, has a far worse mentality than bystanders like Yang Xi.
In the following months, Li Bin spent the next few months worrying about gains and losses.
Because all the officials had reservations about changing the crown prince, Li Longji did not finally make up his mind. He also hesitated again because of some people’s intentional or unintentional reminders. After all, this is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, it will cause serious consequences.
The country is in great turmoil.
The New Year is coming soon, and as the weather turns colder, Li Longji's physical condition is getting worse, and he is less and less interested in thinking about this matter.
After struggling for a while, Li Lin, who had many open and secret fights with Li Bin, felt that his father called him to the palace less often and stopped consulting him on some court affairs. He was a little anxious and often went to the palace to see him.
, but Li Longji refused to see him many times on the grounds of physical discomfort.
This made Li Lin even more sad, and also made Li Bin breathe a sigh of relief.
During the New Year, it is necessary to celebrate, and any fighting will be put down first, at least not to express anything blatantly. You must know that there will be another major happy event in the Tang Dynasty during the year. The military operation against Nanzhao achieved a huge victory, and the imperial army marched on Erhai Road
After retiring, they used this victory as an excuse to grant amnesty to the whole world and celebrate it together. Neither Li Bin nor Li Lin dared to make the fight superficial during the New Year's Day when everyone was celebrating.
But both men know that the next year will be critical for them.
Li Longji's health is obviously much worse than last year, and his old state makes people very worried.
During the Chinese New Year, Li Longji's health got worse due to a cold that lasted for a long time, making everyone worried.
"Silang, His Majesty's physical condition is getting worse and worse. My aunt is really afraid of him..." After a secret passion later in the year, Yang Yuhuan said to Yang Xi with concern: "If His Majesty's health never gets better, then
what to do?"
Although he had expected this before, when it really happened, Yang Yuhuan was at a loss. Women are naturally weak. When encountering such things, they always hope that the man they rely on can have an idea and can handle these things.
Handle it well.
Of course, Yang Xi was well aware of Li Longji's changes. He not only inquired about the situation in the palace from Yang Yuhuan, but he also secretly placed some people he had trained around Li Longji, so that he could gradually understand the situation in the palace more clearly.
. There are many things that Yang Yuhuan does not need to tell him, and he also knows them. However, there are some things that the person assigned cannot find out. Yang Yuhuan needs to tell him, and there is nothing he can do about it.
Hearing the worry in Yang Yuhuan's tone, Yang Xi quickly comforted him: "Auntie, don't worry. Although Shiro has not intervened in court affairs during this period, he has been paying attention to the matter. Moreover, in less than a month,
The time has come to observe filial piety for my father.
I believe that His Majesty will let me resume all my duties and continue to perform those duties. So aunt doesn’t have to worry. Even if His Majesty is about to... fail, or if he wants to pass the throne to someone, as long as the situation is not right, Shiro can do it right away.
Respond."
"That's right! In less than a month, the time for you to observe filial piety for your father will be up, and you can go out and do things!" Yang Yuhuan also woke up and was a little less worried, but still a little uneasy, "Silang,
During this period, the fight between the prince and King Yong continued.
Rest, my aunt is a little worried that they will make everything clear when His Majesty is in poor health. My aunt also knows the current situation. If the prince does not have your support, he may not be able to fight against King Yong, so...
Auntie wants to know what you think!"
"Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. The prince and Li Bin are fighting equally, that's the best!" Yang Xi comforted Yang Yuhuan with a smile, "Aunt, as long as nothing happens, everything is safe!"
Of course, these are Yang Xi's words to comfort Yang Yuhuan. He doesn't want Yang Yuhuan to worry too much. As for whether it is stable or not, he can't guarantee it. Many times, people make plans and God makes things happen. No one can do such a wide-ranging matter.
Guaranteed nothing goes wrong.
What Yang Xi can do is to make arrangements as carefully as possible and try not to make any mistakes.
Yang Yuhuan may also have felt that Yang Xi's words were just to comfort her, but that was not the case. After thinking about it, he asked worriedly: "Silang, actually, my aunt really wants to know what happens if His Majesty passes the throne to her."
How are you going to deal with a prince you fall in love with?"
Yang Xi felt something strange from Yang Yuhuan's questioning words. He stared at Yang Yuhuan for a moment, thought about it again, and then replied: "Auntie, as long as the prince makes my identity clear, I will become a member of the Li family."
If the heir becomes a prince, then I will have a way to seize the throne."
This may be the only thing Yang Xi expects from Li Bin now.
"It's a good idea if you have such a plan!" Yang Xi's words made Yang Yuhuan feel relieved, but he immediately said: "Silang, my aunt has some ideas, but I don't know if you want to know!"
"If aunt has any suggestions, please feel free to tell me. Shiro is all ears!"
"Silang, my aunt feels that if His Majesty is passed on to King Yong, then after King Yong takes the throne, you must act immediately and not let King Yong have the opportunity to make arrangements or even take away the power in your hands." Yang Yuhuan's face showed a look that Yang Xi had not seen.
Ling Ran’s demeanor,
He said very seriously: "Silang, King Yong may know the true relationship between you and the prince. If he becomes the emperor, he will never tolerate you, so you have to strike first, otherwise you may never be able to do it again."
Opportunity to implement your own ideas.”
Yang Yuhuan's words surprised Yang Xi. He didn't expect that Yang Yuhuan, who had always been a weak man, would have such a decisive and murderous mind. Was he wrong all along? This is Yang Yuhuan's nature? Or was Yang Yuhuan too worried, so
Just instigate yourself to take risks?
However, what Yang Yuhuan said was good. After thinking about it, Yang Xi immediately nodded in agreement, "Auntie is right. Silang listens to your advice. If His Majesty really passes the throne to King Yong, then Silang can only first
It's too easy to be aggressive."
"If His Majesty is passing the throne to the Crown Prince, then for the sake of justice, you can wait for a while, maybe until the Crown Prince passes the throne to you. But if the Crown Prince becomes the emperor, he has no such intention and will be wary of you at all times, and will not even give you a title.
, then you don’t have to be patient, you can imitate Emperor Taizong back then!" When Yang Yuhuan said this, he also stopped talking and stared at Yang Xi without blinking.
Yang Yuhuan's words made Yang Xi even more shocked. He didn't expect that Yang Yuhuan actually bewitched him like this today. In the end, whether Li Bin became the emperor or Li Lin became the emperor, Yang Yuhuan's advice to him was ultimately
Seize the throne through the threat of military remonstrance.
That is to say, in Yang Yuhuan's heart, he cannot wait for anyone to pass the throne to him. He needs to take the initiative to ask for it and fight for it with actions that go against the justice of the world. This woman has a really decisive temper. She has always been
Can't see where.
Of course, Yang Yuhuan's words also gave Yang Xi a lot of encouragement. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately agreed with what Yang Yuhuan said.
"Thank you, aunt, for reminding me. Shiro has remembered everything. I will definitely not disappoint my aunt when the time comes!"
