Chapter 726: Ulterior motives(2/2)
Hearing Li Er's answer, Changsun Wuji smiled confidently: "Didn't your Majesty see everything today? Think about it, if no ministers had interfered with this and made those people think that they had a chance to win, how could they all jump out?
?”
Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Indeed, without the help of Chang Sun Wuji, the impeachment trend against Yang Fan would not have been one-sided.
In this way, those behind the scenes who are hiding behind the scenes will not come out at all.
Now Changsun Wuji's interference caused those people to jump out one after another, allowing the emperor to see their faces clearly.
At the same time, I took advantage of the situation and suppressed a few leaders who were particularly happy, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er also knows it very well.
Changsun Wuji always wanted to put Yang Fan to death.
If he saw that he could not protect Yang Fan, Li Er absolutely believed that Changsun Wuji would use any means to deal with Yang Fan.
But Li Er couldn't express such speculation.
There are some things that you just know well, but if you say them out loud, it will make people look very embarrassed.
In any case, Changsun Wuji's interference indeed saved Li Er a lot of time.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er sighed slowly, and asked with some reproach: "Just because you led all the officials to impeach Yang Fan, the whole situation almost got out of control. Do you know?"
"Well, if I hadn't had some control over the court, the situation today might have gotten out of control. Wouldn't that have given those people what they wanted? From now on, I will still have the reputation of being a foolish king..."
Changsun Wuji immediately made a look of sincerity and fear: "Wei Chen is guilty. Wei Chen just wanted to relieve His Majesty's worries and let those behind the scenes jump out earlier, but he didn't expect that Yang Fan was so unpopular in the court, so
This led to the situation becoming somewhat uncontrollable. Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and powerful, otherwise I would have to bear the blame for the death of this humble minister."
Although Changsun Wuji was pretending, he really admired him in his heart.
Indeed, what happened in the court today, if it were a mediocre emperor, he might not be able to bear the pressure and punish Yang Fan long ago.
No evidence is needed at all.
After all, more than half of the officials in the court stood up to impeach one person. This kind of power is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
However, His Majesty Li Er was not shocked by honor or disgrace in that situation, and his mood did not even change much. How confident is this?
This really has to make Changsun Wuji admire him deeply.
More importantly, the "Hundred Riders" are getting stronger and stronger, which also makes Changsun Wuji feel the pressure.
Originally, Baiqi was just a forbidden army to protect His Majesty, but now they can keep track of the dynamics of civil and military officials at any time. How can this not make people panic?
Obviously, this is where His Majesty Li Er's confidence lies.
After thinking about this, Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and reminded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the sword has double edges. It can not only hurt the enemy, but also yourself. Please use it with caution, Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't ask any questions, because he knew Changsun Wuji would say.
His Majesty Li Er believes that as long as he is alive, Changsun Wuji will be extremely loyal. This is his self-confidence.
Changsun Wuji did not hide it, but said directly: "Your Majesty, just like your Majesty's use of thunder to suppress those people, it has advantages and disadvantages, and the same is true for Yang Fan in Jiangnan."
"Although Yang Fan is using His Majesty's name to open up the situation in Jiangnan, the resistance in Jiangnan is getting smaller and smaller now. Now Yang Fan has the power. If Your Majesty lets Yang Fan take over the power again, I am afraid that the future situation will be difficult to control."
"So Wei Chen suggested that Your Majesty should take back the power to appoint officials at all levels of the Navy and the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Your Majesty must have these things firmly in your hands, and even Yang Fan cannot interfere in them."
"Didn't Yang Fan say it in his economic planning? Absolute power can easily lead to absolute corruption. This is also the truth of heaven and earth that has been tempered through the ages!"
"Since Yang Fan himself has such a statement, it is even more inappropriate to put all the rights in Jiangnan in Yang Fan's hands."
"Besides, all the long history and important positions in the governor's offices in various places are filled by people appointed by the imperial court. Now only the areas south of the Yangtze River are appointed by Yang Fan. This is not a good phenomenon!"
Changsun Wuji's words made His Majesty Li Er suddenly moved.
Indeed, what is the emperor most afraid of?
That is because he is afraid that his officials will not do anything behind the scenes and will have a rebellious mind.
At the beginning, because he knew that opening up the situation in Jiangnan would be difficult, he delegated the power to establish government offices to Yang Fan.
Nowadays, the Jiangnan nobles are gradually weakened in repeated confrontations with Yang Fan.
Now that the Jiangnan nobles no longer pose a threat, but Yang Fan is getting stronger and stronger, it is really time to consider limiting Yang Fan's rights.
The way of the emperor is actually about balance.
Although His Majesty Li Er believes that Yang Fan will not rebel, he will never allow this risk to exist.
Changsun Wuji’s words go straight to the core!
Indeed, His Majesty Li Er has been worried that if all the Jiangnan nobles are suppressed and Yang Fan takes control of the entire Jiangnan, it may lead to an uncontrollable situation!
Everyone has an ambition that is unwilling to be lonely.
Once it reaches a certain position, it can look up to a higher status, which will inevitably give rise to some dissatisfaction.
Especially some people under your control will subtly push you forward.
His Majesty Li Er understands this very well.
When he was the king of Qin, he never had any intention of competing for the throne.
But the Wencheng generals under him who were fighting against him in the world were not willing to give in!
As a result, His Majesty Li Er nodded in agreement and said: "The auxiliary aircraft is indeed the pillar of the empire. I will consider this proposal. However, I have already promised Yang Fan to let him go. If I interfere, will that guy give up his job?"
Don’t want to do it?”
"Well……"
Changsun Wuji originally just wanted to suppress Yang Fan, and even sent people to Jiangnan to get a piece of the pie.
But I didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to have such an idea.
However, the goal of driving a wedge between Li Er and Yang Fan had been achieved, and Changsun Wuji did not say anything more.
Based on Changsun Wuji's understanding of Yang Fan, if Li Er really wanted to interfere, that bastard Yang Fan might really give up his business.
This is exactly what Changsun Wuji hopes to see.
Others can't deal with Yang Fan, so using Li Er to deal with him is the best way.
Of course Li Er didn't know Changsun Wuji's good intentions.
He was currently thinking about how to tell Yang Fan so as not to cause a backlash from this kid.
