It has to be said that women seem to have an innate talent for handling men.
After living in the palace for more than half a year, Yang Yuhuan became more and more skilled at handling Li Longji.
As soon as this pitiful appearance and weak tone came out, Li Longji's heart was pinched to death by Yang Yuhuan, and he quickly coaxed in distress.
"My beloved, don't think too much. What I said just reminded me that it's not too late to make me happy, so how could I say the wrong thing."
"What my beloved concubine just said is true. Both Li Xiang and Yuxian are my right-hand men, especially Yuxian. They are loyal to the king and patriotic. They have always been loyal to me and never participated in court disputes. They only focus on cultivating, improving themselves and doing things for me. .”
"If you say that Prime Minister Li is arbitrary and authoritarian, I still have some trust in him, but if you say that Yuxian forms a clique for personal gain, that is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. You really think I am easy to deceive."
"Huangfu is wise, but his heart is worthy of death."
As he spoke, Li Longji couldn't help but flash a cold light in his eyes.
Over the years, Li Longji himself has been dissatisfied with Li Heng's continuous efforts to win over the civil and military ministers of North Korea and China to expand his power.
After all, he is still in power and has no physical plans to abdicate, but the prince has already begun to attract influence and seems impatient.
What is this? Is it because I can't wait to ascend the throne and force him to abdicate?
In particular, Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming had a close relationship with Li Heng, which was a thorn in Li Longji's heart, because both Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming had heavy troops.
If Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming supported Li Heng, then Li Heng would have the strength to directly force the palace to seize power.
Moreover, this kind of thing has precedent and tradition in their old Li family.
After all, everyone in the world knows about the famous Xuanwu Sect incident.
Now Huangfu Weiming brought the great victory of Longyou to Beijing to impeach Li Linfu and Bai Yuxian.
If it would be okay to just impeach Li Linfu alone, Li Longji probably wouldn't even think twice about it.
But Huangfu Weiming also impeached Bai Yuxian.
Nowadays, Li Linfu and Bai Yuxian are basically his right-hand men, Li Longji. If they are really overthrown, for Li Longji, it will be completely self-defeating. If there is any great change and rebellion, he will I can't even find anyone I trust enough to use.
Coupled with Yang Yuhuan's pillow style, Li Longji didn't think too much.
Prince.
Huangfu is bright.
The more he thought about it, the colder Li Longji's eyes became.
He felt that he really needed to give his son a beating.
I haven't abdicated the throne yet.
He just couldn't wait to take power.
"Your Majesty, General Huangfu wrote a letter outside the palace asking for an audience. He said that he had evidence of collusion between Prime Minister Li and General Bai and wanted to write to your Majesty."
At this time Gao Lishi came to report.
At this moment, Li Longji was unhappy with Huangfu Weiming and even had murderous intentions. Hearing this, he said directly.
"Bring the petition here so that the person doesn't need it. Tell him that if the petition is true, I will find out and punish him severely and I will never tolerate it."
"promise."
Not long after, outside the palace gate.
"General Huangfu, please submit the petition so that you don't have to enter the palace. Your Majesty has said that if the petition is true, Your Majesty will find out and make a decision at that time and will never tolerate it."
Huangfu Weiming's expression changed. As a member of the court, how could he not smell something from it? It was obvious that the emperor was dissatisfied with him and his heart was towards Li Linfu and Bai Yuxian.
This is definitely a bad message for them.
But the matter has come to this, and the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired.
"promise."
Huangfu Weiming had no choice but to hand the letter to the visitor as ordered.
In the palace.
Li Longji also quickly received a petition from Huangfu Weiming, which listed a large amount of evidence that Li Linfu was arbitrary, formed parties for personal gain, and excluded dissidents.
Many of the evidences are indeed facts. After all, after fighting with Li Linfu for so many years, it is impossible for Prince Li Heng not to have some dirty information about Li Linfu.
However, these black materials were not a big problem in front of Li Longji. He even knew a lot of the black materials.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. From the first time he hired Li Linfu, Li Longji knew that Li Linfu was never an upright official, and what he wanted was never an upright official.
Zhang Jiuling was an upright official, but he stepped down because by the late Kaiyuan period, what Li Longji wanted was no longer an upright official, but a capable minister, and at the same time the kind of capable minister who could understand him.
And Li Linfu was such a person who could understand him and was a capable minister.
As long as Li Linfu doesn't make a mistake that touches Li Longji's bottom line, then Li Longji will not give up on Li Linfu. After all, such a capable and useful person is not easy to find.
And Li Linfu has always been smart and can more accurately control Li Longji's heart. Therefore, although Li Linfu has a lot of black materials over the years, he has never done anything that touches Li Longji's bottom line. Even a lot of the black materials are still attributed to Li Linfu. It was deliberately made for Li Longji to see, so that Li Longji would feel more at ease with him.
After simply reading the black information about Li Linfu presented by Huangfu Weiming, Li Longji did not read any more, but turned to look at the evidence about the collusion between Bai Yuxian and Li Linfu in the book.
Compared with Li Linfu's dirty information, Li Longji was more concerned about Bai Yuxian's dirty information and whether he colluded with Li Linfu.
As a result, the contents of Huangfu Weiming's letter and his accusations of collusion between Bai Yuxian and Li Linfu were basically all assumptions based on the relationship between Han Su and Li Linfu. In addition, there was no direct evidence of collusion between Bai Yuxian and Li Linfu.
In short, the collusion issue between Bai Yuxian and Li Linfu impeached by Huangfu Weiming was all based on the speculation that Han Su and Li Linfu were in the same camp and Bai Yuxian and Han Su were the son-in-law of Weng.
There is no direct evidence at all.
It's not that Prince Li Heng and others don't want to find direct evidence, but it's just that they really can't find it.
Although Bai Yuxian had a good relationship with Li Linfu since he became an official, there was really no evidence of any collusion between the two.
Since Bai Yuxian entered the officialdom, Bai Yuxian has basically stayed away from the battles in the court, and even went to court a handful of times.
"That's nonsense!"
After reading this, Li Longji couldn't help but became angry again.
Impeaching Bai Yuxian and Li Linfu for colluding without any evidence and relying solely on conjecture is not a frame-up.
This also made Li Longji more convinced of his judgment.
Huangfu Weiming had bad intentions.
If the prince was really behind this, it would be even more terrifying to think about.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry, or you may get hurt by anger."
At this time, Yang Yuhuan, who was standing by, stepped forward and tapped Li Longji's shoulder with concern and said.
"My beloved concubine is interested."
Li Longji's expression softened when he heard Yang Yuhuan's words of concern, thinking that fortunately he still had his beloved concubine around to care about him.
"Your Majesty is my concubine's heaven. If I don't care about your Majesty, who else can I care about?" Yang Yuhuan added after hearing this.
"Haha, I will have no regrets in this life if I can have my beloved concubine."
Li Longji couldn't help but feel elated when he heard this, especially when he looked at Yang Yuhuan's face that was as beautiful as a fairy.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I actually still have a doubt?"
"Oh, my dear, if you have any doubts, just ask."
Li Longji immediately looked at Yang Yuhuan again.
"General Huangfu has been serving as Jiedushi in Longyou to guard the frontier. Logically speaking, he should not know much about the affairs of the capital if he is far away from the capital. But this time, General Huangfu impeached Li Xiang and General Bai just after he came to the capital to offer victory, and he also It is really hard for me to understand that I can write such a detailed letter listing the situation of Prime Minister Li and General Bai in such detail."
"I think that this letter from General Huangfu may not be from General Huangfu."
Yang Yuhuan said, and continued to apply eye drops to Li Longji calmly.
This petition did not come from Huangfu Weiming, so Huangfu Weiming was naturally pushed by someone behind the scenes.
Needless to say, there was no one other than Prince Li Heng who could stand behind Huangfu Weiming and promote this matter.
The most important thing is that Yang Yuhuan's speculations and judgments are all reasonable.
Li Longji couldn't help but a cold light flashed in his eyes when he heard this.
Even at this moment, he had some thoughts of deposing the prince directly.
After all, he doesn't want to abdicate yet, but Li Heng has already shown that he is eager to seize power.
