Ang Lee was also a person who knew how to judge the situation. The emperor had just been angry with Yang Guozhong. At this time, of course, Ang Lee would not recommend Yang Guozhong. Moreover, from the lessons of history, this guy was indeed a big idiot. The An Lushan Rebellion was launched under the slogan of cleaning up the emperor and eliminating Yang Guozhong. That was to say, without this guy, the An Lushan Rebellion in history might not have happened.
After all, according to historical records, An Lushan was a short-lived ghost. After launching the rebellion, he died two years later. Although he was killed by his son, with his physical fitness, it was estimated that he could not survive Li Longji. Because of Li Longji's appreciation of his talent, at least when Li Longji was still alive, he would not easily launch a rebellion. But when he was forced by Yang Guozhong, this idiot, he could only launch a rebellion in advance, thus causing the entire Tang Empire to decline from prosperity.
Although the probability of a rebellion in the Tang Empire at this moment was very low, it was better to choose a capable person as the head of the Prime Minister. Incompetent people would always make a mess of the government and eventually lead to the decline of the dynasty.
"A filial son wearing plain clothes. Is this God's will?"
Li Longji frowned and thought about the dream he had a few days ago.
The so-called filial son wearing plain clothes was a dream that Li Longji had. In his dream, he dreamed that he fell down from the main hall and a filial son helped him up. After waking up from the dream, Li Longji told Gao Lishi about it. Gao Lishi said, "A filial son wearing plain clothes", which meant Wei Jiansu. Because of this, Wei Jiansu was very important in his heart. Today, Ang Lee proposed that Wei Jiansu could be a great person. Wasn't this a coincidence?
Although this was only a dream, the ancients all believed in dreams, especially the Emperor. Dreams had a meaning. The Emperor fell down from the main hall, but was helped up by someone. Wasn't this hinting that he would encounter difficulties one day, and in the end, it was solved by Wei Jiansu?
Whether it was the dream or Ang Lee's recommendation, for Li Longji, they were all very important references. At this time, Wei Jiansu was already the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. His official position was very high, and he was fully qualified to be promoted to the head of the Prime Ministers.
Since the founding of the country, in order to balance the power of the ministers and prevent them from being too powerful and posing a threat to the imperial power, the Tang Dynasty implemented the system of group Prime Ministers, which could also be called the system of worshiping the Prime Minister. In the same period, the Prime Minister was not one person, but composed of many people. As long as a minister was conferred the title of Secretary of the Central Secretariat, he could be called a Prime Minister. However, among the many Prime Ministers, only one person was the Head of the Political Affairs Hall. He was the head of all the Prime Ministers. After the Prime Ministers discussed state affairs, the Head of the Political Affairs Hall was the one who could make the final decision. He was also the most powerful official in the Tang Empire.
For so many years, Li Linfu had been the Head of the Political Affairs Hall. He was the most powerful official in the Tang Empire. Now that Li Linfu was seriously ill and could not continue to deal with state affairs, the next step was to select a capable person to take over his position.
Ang Lee recommended Wei Jiansu, and the Emperor also had a good impression of Wei Jiansu. Therefore, Wei Jiansu was still very likely to be the Head of the Political Affairs Hall. However, this position was the most powerful official in the Tang Dynasty, so it must not be rushed. It needed to be carefully considered.
The Emperor did not make any statement. After talking with Ang Lee casually, he asked Ang Lee to leave.
"Assistant Minister Li, here."
Not long after Ang Lee walked out of Zichen Palace, he met Li Yu, who was hiding not far away. This guy had not left and was hiding nearby, waiting for him.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon? Why haven't you left yet? You just received the task. You should be very busy. "
Ang Lee said.
Li Yu said with a smile, "The underground parking lot can't be completed overnight. There's no hurry. However, this project has no precedent in the Tang Dynasty. The people below are not sure about it. There are many things that need Assistant Minister Li's help."
Hearing this, Ang Lee smiled faintly. He finally understood that Li Yu came to ask for help.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, don't worry. As long as I can help, I will not refuse. You can rest assured!"
Ang Lee said to reassure Li Yu.
After all, the underground parking lot proposal was proposed by Ang Lee. If it failed, Ang Lee would also lose face.
"Assistant Minister Li, the meal in the Four Seas Restaurant is not finished yet. Shall we continue?"
Li Yu felt that the meal was not finished yet and needed to continue eating.
"It's just a meal. Forget it! I still have things to do. Why don't we wait until the underground parking lot is completed and then go eat? "
Ang Lee was going to the R&D Center. Naturally, he could not delay too much.
Li Yu nodded and said, "That's good. Then I'll go and gather people to try to finish the underground parking lot as soon as possible."
After that, the two went their separate ways to prepare.
After a short rest in Zichen Palace Hall, Li Longji went to the rear court. After a busy morning, he was so tired that he felt a little dizzy. In fact, it was not because he was tired, but mainly because he was angry. Seeing his precious daughter being beaten by a stinky servant, as a father, he was naturally very angry. Especially the Emperor's temper, it was even worse. At least, it was much worse than the average person. The wrath of the Emperor could cause millions of corpses to bleed for thousands of miles.
Although they were talking about the underground parking lot just now, Li Longji's mood had improved and he was no longer angry. But after everyone left, he was in a bad mood again after thinking about it for a while.
When he was in a bad mood, it would naturally show on his face. Since returning to the backyard, Li Longji's face had been drooping and he looked very listless.
Yang Yuhuan soon came over. She naturally knew the reason why Li Longji was in a bad mood. As the most powerful man in the world, he actually let his daughter be beaten. One could imagine the anger in his heart.
"Saburo, this is the freshly cooked lotus seed porridge. Drink some!"
Yang Yuhuan asked tentatively.
"I have no appetite. You drink it!"
Li Longji said faintly.
Yang Yuhuan naturally would not drink it. She handed the porridge to the palace maid and let her take it away.
"Saburo, I have heard about the princess's matter. This damned servant is too hateful. He actually dared to offend the princess."
Yang Yuhuan followed Li Longji's intention and said.
"Of course he deserves to die. He has already been beaten to death."
Li Longji said with lingering anger.
"It's good that he has been beaten to death. This kind of servant who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth should be beaten to death. Otherwise, his tail will be raised to the sky."
Yang Yuhuan knew that when it was time to coax, she must coax him well. The emperor was not an ordinary person. Moreover, this time, it was indeed their Yang family that made the emperor unhappy.
"This is definitely not the first time. The reason why this kind of evil servant can be so domineering is because he is relying on his master's power to bully the people in the capital."
Li Longji continued.
"Saburo is right. It must be my cousin's lack of discipline that allowed the servant to be so arrogant and despotic. Just now, I have already met my cousin. He is very remorseful. He has been remorseful that he did not discipline the servant strictly enough, which led to him offending the princess."
Yang Yuhuan did not say anything good because she knew very well that Li Longji was now in a fit of anger. Before his anger completely dissipated, it was not convenient for him to say anything good about Yang Guozhong. She had to follow Li Longji's wishes and not go against his wishes.
As for when she could say something good about Yang Guozhong, she naturally had to wait until Li Longji completely calmed down. She had plenty of patience. In addition, she felt that Li Linfu would not die immediately, so she had plenty of time to say something good about him.
Sure enough, after being coaxed by Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji's mood became better again. As a member of the Yang family, she did not cover up for her own family at all. Instead, she always thought about him. Such an imperial concubine was the imperial concubine that he was satisfied with.
The princess was beaten by a servant of the Yang family. Such a big thing naturally could not be concealed. All the details about this matter were published on the front page of the Tang dynasty newspaper, so that all the people in the streets and alleys knew about it.
"Little evil servant, how dare you offend the princess. Kill him without mercy."
"The imperial censor placed righteousness above family and killed the servant."
"Evil servant offended the princess. The Emperor was furious and killed him in front of the palace gate."
At this time, the Tang dynasty newspaper was lively. All kinds of eye-catching headlines appeared one after another. Although the descriptions were somewhat similar, because they were written by different editors, they were naturally slightly different. Naturally, the personal speculations were also different. Because this was the most popular news, no matter which headline it was, it would be read by people. For a time, the streets and alleys of Chang 'an were everywhere talking about this matter. The restaurants and teahouses were the disaster areas.
"Haha! Isn't the Yang family powerful? Now it's over! His Majesty is furious and killed the evil servant. "
"It's said that one has to look at the master before beating a dog. This time, His Majesty directly killed the evil servant without caring about the face of the Yang family. This is a show to the Yang family. Let's see if the Yang family dares to be so domineering in the future."
"The evil servants of the Yang family have been arrogant and domineering these years with the support of their master. It's time to teach them a lesson."
"That's right. It's okay for the master to be proud. But tell me, what are those coolies showing off for?"
Obviously, the Emperor's order to kill the evil servants of the Yang family was a very satisfying thing. From this, it could also be seen how unpopular the Yang family was now.
"Alang, listen, the people's hearts can be used!"
In the private room of the Four Seas Restaurant, Li Yu was eating alone. This meal was the day before. He was supposed to invite Ang Lee to eat with him. Unexpectedly, the incident of the princess happened, so he didn't eat it.
Logically speaking, the restaurant had already prepared the food. If you paid for it and didn't eat, it was your own business. There was no reason for the restaurant to accompany you for a meal. However, Li Yu's identity wasn't ordinary. Even if he asked the restaurant to compensate for ten meals, the restaurant would be very willing. After all, if one day, Li Yu became the Emperor, the restaurant might also rise to great heights.
Li Yu didn't waste the restaurant's good intentions. Although he said it nicely, asking the restaurant to heat up the leftovers from yesterday, the restaurant didn't have the guts to let the imperial grandson eat the leftovers. Naturally, he asked the servants to prepare a brand new meal. He also expressed that if Li Yu ate well, he could come over to eat every day in the future. It would be the restaurant's treat.
While eating delicious food and listening to the discussion outside the private room, Li Yu was in a very good mood. Because of his father, Li Yu was hostile to Yang Guozhong. Naturally, he felt very comfortable when he heard that the Yang family was hated by others.
In addition, Li Yu didn't do nothing. He also played a role in adding fuel to the fire. For example, he and Ang Lee testified that they were the evil servants of the Yang family. In addition, after leaving the Imperial Palace, he didn't stop. He constantly sent his subordinates to the Tang dynasty's newspaper to bribe the editors of the Tang dynasty's newspaper. He let the editors of the Tang dynasty's newspaper report a lot of the deeds of the evil servants of the Yang family. In this way, he completely made this matter public and tried to affect Yang Guozhong's reputation as much as possible. Thus, the Emperor had to have scruples. Then, he wouldn't appoint Yang Guozhong as the head of the ministers, so as to reduce the pressure his father, the Crown Prince, was facing.
"Humph, Yang Guozhong suffered a setback this time. However, such a small thing can't bring him down. My Imperial Grandfather will be angry at most for a few days, and then he will forgive him. But this thorn in his heart will always be there."
Li Yu smiled treacherously and then said, "You can't blame me for this. His servant is too arrogant. By the way, remember to thank the editors who wrote these articles. You must reward them well. Especially the article written by Li Taibai. Not only is it well written, but it is also very outstanding. There are even a few poems. Reading it is a pleasure!"
"Yes, Alang. I understand."
Li Yu smiled and said to himself, "In the next few days, I will report on the evil servants of the Yang family well. In a few days, it will be my underground parking lot. I must make good use of the Tang dynasty newspaper. It will be a waste if I don't use it. Haha!"
The Tang dynasty newspaper was a publicly sold newspaper. All the people in the Tang dynasty could read it. Because of the imperial court officials, the credibility of the Tang dynasty newspaper had always been relatively high. As long as the content was in the Tang dynasty newspaper, basically no one would doubt it. Therefore, the influence of the Tang dynasty newspaper was growing.
In the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Linfu, who was dying, sighed helplessly after listening to the contents of the Tang dynasty newspaper's front page read by his servant.
"Father, the Yang family is in trouble. Why do you sigh?"
Li Xiu asked doubtfully.
"Alas! The master is a fool, and the servant is even more stupid. They are really hopeless. "
Li Linfu coughed a few times and continued, "One must be modest and amiable. One must not be domineering. The master and servant of the Yang family are domineering. It is a recipe for disaster."
Although he was not a good person, at least on the surface, he was very friendly to people. Otherwise, he would not have been called a hypocrite.
Li Xiu obviously did not approve of his father. When he heard his father say that one must be modest and amiable and not be domineering, his face was full of disdain. He felt that his father was a little too shameless. He was not a good person, but he still had the face to talk about others.
