The moment Li Sui's voice fell, the cabin was almost silent. Only the melodious Yangzhou minor tunes slowly rippled through the cabin door from the fluctuation of the strings. At this moment, Zhao Yi almost didn't notice it.

His pupils twitched, and he suddenly looked at the person in front of him without even reacting.

How could she——

With the glazed lantern hanging above his head, Li Sui suddenly remembered that it was the first time that he was so close, without anyone else, sitting across from Zhao Yi, the mausoleum king in front of him, and it was also the first time that he saw the expression on his face.

When the calm man heard those two words, he showed so many emotions, including astonishment, surprise, and indescribable complexity.

Indeed, if Zhao Yi suddenly asked to marry her, she would probably be surprised even after two lifetimes.

After all, they did not have many emotional entanglements in this life. In the previous life, although they had never had any disputes or conflicts, their identities and positions of power destined them to be suspicious of each other and undercurrents surged.

"I know that this entrustment is a bit difficult for Prince Yuling."

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the cabin, Li Sui no longer waited. She sat up with a relaxed smile and looked at Zhao Yi in front of her. Her eyes were quite candid, completely different from the way they had seen each other before.

At that moment, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that the person sitting in front of him did not seem to be a sixteen-year-old boudoir girl, because she was too calm, as if she was talking about someone else's wedding vacation.

"King Yuling has been able to reach his current position from the white clothes. You must also be able to see that today's court, Chang'an and Chang'an seem to be in peace, but in fact there are ups and downs. As you can see -"

Having said this, the smile on Li Sui's lips did not diminish, but his eyes gradually looked at the person in front of him with solemnity and said slowly: "The Chen family of the Tian family, the Taiwei Yang family who holds the military power, and the fourth generation and three male origins, for the Tian family

The family promotes the Shangguan family with the intention of containing the Yang family, and the relationships between all parties are intertwined. The only person who could not be stained by the slightest trace in such muddy waters was you, the Yuling King."

Once upon a time——

At this moment, Zhao Yi noticed the sudden change in the girl's voice in front of him, and gradually understood what Li Sui meant, and this one was used very cleverly before.

Taking into account the slight changes in Zhao Yi's eyes, Li Sui's expression was serious, but his words gradually softened a lot, but the meaning behind his words was not there.

"But everything has changed since the day of my birthday party in Huacalyx Tower, hasn't it?"

While speaking, Li Sui stretched out his hand to reach for the tea cup in front of him, lowered his eyes to look at the steaming tea in the cup, felt the warmth on the palm of his fingertips, gently lifted it up to take a sip, and then looked calmly in front of him.

Humanity said: "Prince Yuling, who has always stayed out of the Chang'an court and ignored all forces, actually helped the Yang family to eradicate the forces of the former Wuwei General Zheng and the former Concubine Zheng Shu. This move alone was enough to compete with the Yang family.

Those people became suspicious."

Speaking of this, Li Sui slowed down his words and looked at the calm Zhao Yi in front of him, but his eyes met with Zhao Yi's. Although the two did not speak, many words did not need to be said out of his mouth. Since the ups and downs of the situation,

It's enough to read it in your eyes.

Li Sui knew in her heart that, as she just said, Zhao Yi was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight and kill, but a man with border troops who could understand the trends of the court even in the Western Regions and could fight repeatedly on the battlefield.

A politician who has won many victories and can handle the current situation with ease.

How could he not know that the previous assassination at Huaye Xianghui Tower was the work of the Zheng family, whom the emperor relied on? He didn't know that it seemed to be the instigation of the Zheng family, but in fact it was the beginning of the struggle between the emperor and the Yang family.

Li Sui looked at the person in front of him, and a friendly smile gradually appeared in his eyes, so he knew that he had already made his choice.

The Chen family of the Tian family is already sailing on the rocks. Although the Shangguan family has the Chen family to rely on and has the support of the courtiers, it lacks military power, but the Yang family is different.

Such a situation of checks and balances will not last forever, and all previous signs have shown that this situation is on the verge of breaking down, and one or even two of the three parties will be destined to collapse.

Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

No matter whether the Chen family wins, or the Yang family, or the Shangguan family wins, they will not allow someone who has not been won over by themselves and who has a heavy army to be used by them.

When the world is unified, once the people here break the current crisis of checks and balances, withdraw their thoughts, and come to their senses, then Zhao Yi will be jealous and suppressed even in places further away, not to mention in the Western Regions, even in his own body.

The dead are destroyed.

Since ancient times, there have been so many loyal ministers and good generals, but how many of them can achieve a good beginning and a good end?

Therefore, in the past, not taking sides was for self-protection. To protect himself from criticism from any party, Zhao Yi could choose to go far to the Western Regions and leave the whirlpool of Chang'an.

Now, Zhao Yi only has two choices.

Either stand on one side, share the final victory, and then plan for the road ahead.

Either form a faction of their own and support the three-party confrontation to see who wins in the end.

However, it can be seen from Zhao Yi's behavior in his previous life that he is a person who is well aware of his power and position, as well as his own shortcomings. For the three parties in front of him, Zhao Yi's victory is not great.

In terms of origin, the Chen family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the emperors for generations. This is an unchangeable fact. In terms of status, the Shangguan family was the fourth and third prince, had many disciples, and had imperial power to rely on, so they dared to confront the Yang family. In terms of military power, the Yang family

Except for the Longwu Army and the Shence Army who were loyal to the emperor and were all wiped out on the night of the Huacalyx Tower assassination, all the centuries-old noble families, the Sixteenth Guards of the South Yamen and the Imperial Guards of the North Yamen, totaling more than 100,000 people, were all in the hands of Yang Chongyuan.

Even the Duke of Qin, Hou Jing, fought with Yang Chongyuan on the battlefield and went through life and death. Therefore, Yang Chongyuan's prestige in the army cannot be underestimated at all.

Therefore, for Zhao Yi now, it is undoubtedly wise to take the path ahead.

Once you take the latter path, you will undoubtedly make everyone fearful and turn all the spearheads against you, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Life is like a chess game, a mediocre person takes one move and counts one move, an ordinary person takes one move and counts three moves, and a wise person makes one move and counts ten moves.

so--

Zhao Yicai secretly conspired with Yang Chongyuan when everyone was unprepared, and played a crucial role in Yang Chongyuan's comeback.

Even though they knew that this trip would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, the Shangguan clan would counterattack.

Because, this is his choice.

He saw the current situation clearly and knew that Yang Chongyuan had a great chance of winning in this struggle. He also knew that due to Yang Chongyuan's kindness and luck in promoting him, he also knew that Yang Chongyuan had a comradeship with the Duke of Qin, Hou Jing, who was both his teacher and friend.

, as long as he plays the role of providing help when Yang Chongyuan needs it most, it will be enough for Yang Chongyuan to see his determination to cooperate.

The phoenix rests on the phoenix tree. If Zhao Yi is the phoenix soaring into the sky, then the phoenix tree that can rest on him is destined to be Yang Chongyuan.

All this is not because she exaggerates Yang Chongyuan's ability, but because although the current Emperor Yuan Cheng wants to govern the world, he does not have the skills to control it, and although the Shangguan family is good at the intrigues in the court, they have no tolerance for others.

"Every step of King Yuling's consideration is absolutely correct, and Yongning admires him."

Hearing Li Sui's praise, Zhao Yi's eyes were calm, but he could tell that the next words were the most important thing today.

"So I dare to make an alliance with you and use this marriage as my sincerity——"

At this point, looking at the girl's sincere eyes and hearing the word sincerity, Zhao Yi fully understood without saying anything. He knew very well, or in other words, everyone in the world knew that Princess Yongning in front of him was different from ordinary daughters.

Paper marriage is not just a good thing for two families, because standing behind her is the Li family, the head of the family at that time, Li Zhang, the wife of the Taiwei, Li Shi, and even the future head of the Yang family.
