Although the Yang family is now being suppressed by Emperor Zhou, they were probably the masterminds behind it at the time. Li Xun did not have a good impression of the Yang family, but had a deep dislike for it.
But it's a pity that Li Xun is still weak now, so naturally he won't show his emotions at this time.
Yang Mingzhi asked, "I wonder if it is Your Majesty's intention for His Highness Sixth Prince to leave the capital and go to the border?"
Li Xun said: "Who does it mean? It shouldn't have anything to do with the Yang family, right?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "Although the Yang family is not as good as before, we still know a little bit about the news in the capital. This time, your majesty ordered the national adviser to go to the border to express condolences to the soldiers. If your majesty finds out that the sixth prince secretly infiltrated the envoy team and left the capital, then
But it does matter."
A cold light flashed in Li Xun's eyes: "What does the Yang Family Master want to do?"
Yang Mingzhi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Yang family has no ill intentions. There are many people here, so can Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, come to the private room for a visit?"
Li Xun nodded and said, "Okay."
a moment later
Among Accord
The drinks and dishes were all served, and Li Xun and Yang Mingzhi sat opposite each other.
The appearance of the Yang family disrupted his previous train of thought. Zhou Guoshi's national master did enjoy a high reputation among military generals. Some of the military commanders he had contacted in the past few days should have been more or less encouraged by the national master.
However, the Yang family has been civil servants for generations, so it is absolutely impossible for them to have a close relationship with the Imperial Master.
Moreover, the state of the Yang family has something to do with the Imperial Master.
All this was planned by the Imperial Master and the Emperor Zhou.
Even if the Yang family could bend and bow to the Imperial Master, it is impossible for the Imperial Master to let someone who is untrustworthy or even hostile to him find him.
Because he has cultivated himself for so long and has not allowed himself to realize his ideas, he will not expose himself at this time.
Therefore, the Yang family's coming here was definitely not ordered by the Imperial Master.
He was able to find him because he probably got information that came from nowhere.
Just as Li Xun was analyzing the pros and cons, Yang Mingzhi said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the Yang family has no malicious intent."
Li Xun asked: "There is no malice? Could it be that the head of the Yang family came to me for a drink this time?"
Yang Mingzhi smiled and said: "Too many things in the world are discussed at the wine table. Why not drink a glass of wine before talking?"
Li Xun said: "But when I talk about things, I don't have the habit of drinking. Master Yang should talk about things first."
Yang Mingzhi said: "Your Highness should know about Yang Zhou being killed in Chu State, right?"
Li Xun nodded casually and said: "Of course I know. Later, I couldn't bear to have him live in a foreign land, so I turned him into ashes and sent him back to your Yang family. Speaking of which, your Yang family owes me a debt of gratitude. Remember to pay it back."
Yang Mingzhi chuckled and said: "As the eldest brother, I will naturally repay His Highness the Sixth Prince's love, and maybe I can repay it now."
Li Xun looked at Yang Mingzhi and asked, "Why pay it back?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "I also have a piece of information that I want to inform His Highness the Sixth. I wonder if His Highness wants it or not?"
Li Xun asked; "What information?"
Yang Mingzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, please tell me first whether you want it or not."
Li Xun said: "If your information is useful, I will definitely want it."
Yang Mingzhi said: "Actually, the person your Majesty wanted to kill was not a member of my Yang family, but His Highness."
Having said this, Yang Mingzhi looked at Li Xun who seemed to be calm and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness is not surprised?"
Li Xun just looked at him and said, "Keep talking."
Yang Mingzhi said, "When His Majesty decided to use His Majesty as an excuse to start the war, I was on His Majesty's side, but in the end it was my Yang family who died. Originally I thought it was the Chu State who was doing it to provoke the war, but later
I have been to the Chu State and got some advice from the Marquis of Anding County of the Chu State before I broke through the fog. It is very likely that all this was arranged by His Majesty in order to suppress my Yang family."
Li Xun was surprised and said: "Brother Xu?"
At this moment, Li Xun had already understood that the head of the Yang family should have been deceived by Brother Xu during the last mission and became hostile to the emperor.
But since Brother Xu cares about himself so much, I naturally can't let down Brother Xu's kindness.
Yang Mingzhi said: "It seems that His Highness is very familiar with Xu Qing, the Marquis of Anding County, so I won't go into details. The Marquis of Anding County once advised me. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now His Highness's power is still very small, but the Yang family
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Why don't Your Highness cooperate with the Yang family, so that everyone can get what they want."
Li Xun said: "What? Has the Yang family given up on the prince and the queen who are still in the palace?"
Yang Mingzhi looked at Li Xun and said, "If His Highness finally gets what he wants, I just hope that Your Highness can treat the Crown Prince and the Queen well."
Li Xun said: "I will consider it, but since your Yang family is determined to serve me, it is best to sign the contract first."
Yang Mingzhi said, "Your Highness should know that the Yang family's property in the capital is still huge and involves many things. If we sign a contract with His Highness, it will be easily exposed. Only if there is no evidence from both parties, the cooperation between Your Highness and the Yang family will be enough to cover up the public.
"
Li Xun said: "It's better to sign the contract, otherwise, it will be without evidence."
Yang Mingzhi said: "Your Highness, please don't worry. Although our Yang family has lost power, we still have this bit of credibility."
Li Xun looked at Yang Mingzhi's originally indifferent face but suddenly turned serious: "You also know that your Yang family has lost power now? Cooperation? It seems that your Yang family has not clearly understood their position in the Zhou Dynasty.
.I solemnly tell you now that between me and your Yang family, we are monarchs and ministers! You should use the word 'loyalty'."
Yang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xun's sudden change of face, and was a little at a loss.
The Yang family is a century-old family. Even though it has lost power now, it still has a huge industry in the capital. Even His Majesty's second and third princes, who are doting on concubines, must treat him as equals without saying they are respectful and will not put on any airs.
.
But in front of him, Li Xun, the son of a palace maid, dared to scold him like this? Let himself use the word "loyalty".
Back then, even when the Yang family was supporting His Majesty, they were only cooperating. I didn't expect that a junior like him would dare to be so arrogant.
Do you really think that what the Yang family said in the Zhou Kingdom is nothing?
Thinking of this, Yang Mingzhi looked at Li Xun and said solemnly: "Your Highness, although the Yang family is not as good as before, your Highness is also weak. Does your Highness know what you are talking about? My Yang family is helping your Highness!"
Li Xun said: "I would like to say it again, you must sign a contract with me if you are loyal to me! If you want to be the person with the best footwork here, you are in the wrong place!"
Yang Mingzhi said: "Your Highness, a son of a concubine, is so arrogant. I am not afraid that the Yang family will report to Your Majesty that His Highness came to the important place of the military town privately. Then His Highness will be in great trouble!"
Li Xun snorted coldly and said: "Go ahead, I want to see what your Yang family can get if I overthrow you. Return to the court? Or reinstate your official position? Will the emperor give you these things to the Yang family?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "Then my Yang family will not suffer any loss."
