Chapter 179 The Incompetent
It was noon, and Li Linfu took the carriage back to the mansion for a rest.

He closed his eyes slightly, and he was still sorting out the affairs of the Zhengshitang in his mind. Last year, he won the battle of Shuofang. Although Abusi was far away, he would surely be killed, which greatly enhanced his reputation and prestige in the court, and also consolidated his position. .

At this time, it is unrealistic for the emperor to consider using Yang Guozhong directly as the right minister. The establishment of a multi-phase system is actually a compromise for the emperor.

Why did the Sun Jiliang case suddenly happen, involving his grandson? Li Linfu is very clear about the mystery. However, this is the emperor Li Longji paving the way for the new three-phase candidates.

Beat himself in advance and not allow himself to oppose his chosen one.

Li Linfu can guess two of the three new candidates. Wei Jiansu and Yang Guozhong must be there. The key is the third candidate. The emperor said that considering the military representative, it may be the nine Jiedu envoys, Anxi Jiedu envoy Gao Xianzhi and It is impossible for Beiting Jiedu to make Cheng Qianli, their influence is too weak.

Fanyang Jiedu Envoy Pinglu Jiedu Envoy An Lushan, Longyou Jiedu Envoy Ge Shuhan, and Hexi Jiedu Envoy An Sishun are all Hu people, so it is unlikely.

The rest is Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xianyu Zhongtong, whose qualifications are too low to be possible.

Shuofang Jiedushi is currently the leader of Guangping Wang Yao, so there is no need to think about it.

Han Xiulin, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, was left, and his qualifications were far behind.

Zhang Qiqiu was demoted just because of the rebellion of Abusi.

If the nine major Jiedu envoys are excluded, then it is the Guanlong nobles.

At this time, Li Linfu suddenly thought of one person, Yu Wenjing, Minister of the Ministry of War. He was born in the army and has been a civil servant for many years.

It seems that this military representative is tailor-made for him!

Li Linfu vaguely guessed the emperor Li Longji's intentions.

If Yu Wenjing becomes prime minister, Yang Guozhong will not be isolated and has allies in the political affairs hall.

The other side of the Sun Jiliang case is the Sun family and the Yuwen family. No matter whether his grandson Li Ye has any problems in the end, the emperor has successfully provoked Yu Wenjing's hatred towards him.

In addition, Goro and Yu Wenluo divorced before, and the relationship between the two families has become hostile. Once Yu Wenjing becomes Yang Guozhong's running dog, he will inevitably bite himself like a mad dog.

Li Linfu was almost certain that the military representative that the Holy Majesty was considering was probably Yu Wenjing.

What a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Linfu suddenly became anxious. Once Yu Wenjing entered the prime minister, it would be a great trouble for him.

In fact, Li Linfu still underestimated the skills of the emperor Li Longji. In the case of Sun Jiliang, Li Longji not only beat Li Linfu, but also Yang Yupei, the wife of Guo Guo.

Yang Yupei has always insisted on letting Yang Cong become a prime minister, because Yang Cong is more likely to be controlled by her, and she opposes Yang Guozhong's becoming a prime minister, which annoys the emperor Li Longji a little.

Li Longji asked Yang Yupei a question and asked Yang Yu to do it. Didn't you say that Yang Yu is very capable?Then let him answer this question, whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know if you take it out for a walk.

In Xuanyangfang, in Mrs. Guo's mansion, Yang Yupei paced back and forth with her hands up and down, her face full of anger.

Just now, Yu Wenjing found Yang Yupei and told her the news that the Ministry of Criminal Justice rejected the request of the Sun family to file a case. The reason is obvious. The murder flying knife does not match the flying knife used by Li Ye.

The Sun family was greatly disappointed. Sun Mian went to his in-law Yu Wenjing to put pressure on him. Yu Wenjing had no choice but to ask Mrs. Guo Guo about the situation. In fact, he was also putting pressure on Mrs. Guo Guo.

Sun Mian was the young secretary of Dali Temple. Dali Temple also conducted an investigation on this case. No matter the motive or method of killing, Li Ye was the biggest suspect. Sun Mian believed that Li Ye killed his nephew.

But the Ministry of Criminal Justice directly rejected the application for filing the case without even conducting an interrogation. The Ministry of Criminal Justice was clearly trying to cover up Li Ye and excuse Li Ye.

At this time, the maid reported at the door, "Ma'am, the second master is here."

"Let him in!"

After a while, Yang Zhen hurried into the inner hall, bowed and said, "Is there something urgent for my third sister?"

Yang Yupei questioned, "Don't you know what you did yourself? What do you think I'm looking for?"

Yang Zhen looked confused, and said for a while: "I'm busy with court affairs today, I really can't remember, can Sanmei remind me?"

"Of course I mean the Sun family's affairs!"

Yang Tong opened his mouth wide, scratched his head and said, "I heard that the Ministry of Punishment is still investigating, and there is no result yet!"

Yang Yupei gritted her silver teeth and said, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice has come up with a result this afternoon, rejecting the Sun family's application for filing a case, and making it clear that Li Ye is not a suspect. You can see for yourself!"

Yang Yupei ruthlessly copied the official documents of the Ministry of Punishment and still put them in front of Yang Zhen, cursing: "You are such a pig brain, you can't do such a simple thing well, what do you think you are good for?"

After reading the copy, Yang Yu bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything. Yang Yupei knocked on the table angrily, "The flying knives are different. You messed up even the most basic things. You really let me down."

Yang Zhen said for a while: "It's mainly because it was too hasty, and some details are unknown. We only know that he uses the willow-leaf flying knife of the army, but we don't know that he is a special order."

"Don't make excuses for me. I want results. I praised you for your ability in front of the Holy One. That's how you showed me? Didn't you slap me in the face?"

Yang Li lowered his head, and said with shame on his face, "I let Sanmei down!"

Yang Yupei sneered, "You didn't let me down, you let the Holy One down, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you can't catch it yourself."

Yang Teng panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "Sister San, you have to explain to the Holy Majesty, this matter is too difficult, even if Yang Guozhong comes, he can't handle it well."

"It's useless for you to tell me. I told you before that if you finish this matter, Yang Guozhong will have no chance, but you didn't cherish this opportunity and gave it to Yang Guozhong."

Yang Yu went back with a face full of frustration, Yang Yupei sighed, and had to order: "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace!"

It was not the emperor Li Longji who met Yang Yupei, the wife of Guo State, in the palace, but Yuan Siyi, another confidant of Li Longji's eunuch Yuan Siyi. Master inside, Gao Lishi master outside.

Yuan Siyi was in charge of all affairs of the inner palace, while Gao Lishi was responsible for approving memorials and contacting ministers. In terms of authority, Gao Lishi had much greater authority, while Yuan Siyi generally did not contact the outside world.
Moreover, Yuan Siyi was so proud of his favor that the scholar-bureaucrats kept him at a respectful distance, and they were willing to find Gao Lishi for anything.

But in terms of the trust level of the emperor Li Longji, the two are evenly matched, and even Yuan Siyi is slightly higher.

The affair between Yang Yupei, wife of Guo State, and Emperor Li Longji was actually arranged by Yuan Siyi. Although Gao Lishi had heard about it, he didn't know the specifics.

Yuan Siyi is about 50 years old, with a loyal face, but his appearance is ruined by a pair of three white eyes, which makes his honesty reveal a hint of sinister.

However, he has been with Li Longji for 40 years. He has been by Li Longji's side since he was a eunuch since he was a child. He has always been loyal and has won Li Longji's trust.

Yuan Siyi smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. The Ministry of Punishment's dismissal of the Sun family's complaint is actually the meaning of the Holy Majesty!"

Yang Yupei was taken aback, "Why?"

Yuan Siyi said indifferently: "The purpose of the Holy Majesty is not really to arrest Li Ye and convict him. He just wants to warn Li Linfu. This morning, Li Linfu submitted a letter to resign from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor approved the opinion of the Ministry of Punishment. Madam, The case is over."

"But how to explain to the Sun family and Yu Wenjing?"

"That's the matter of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. They will continue to find a suitable murderer and give the Sun family an explanation."

"But Li Ye is the biggest suspect"

Yuan Siyi immediately interrupted Yang Yupei's words, "Ma'am, you and I are very clear that this case has nothing to do with Li Ye. His grandfather is the right minister of the Tang Dynasty. He will not allow us to point the finger at a deer, nor will the Holy Majesty. I also said that this case has nothing to do with Madam, Madam can withdraw."

Yang Yupei said helplessly, "Okay! What about Yang Chen?"

Yuan Siyi said unhurriedly: "The Holy Majesty said that through this incident, he also saw Yang Tong's ability. To be honest, the Holy Majesty is very disappointed. The Majesty still prefers Yang Guozhong. Madam, do you understand?"

The Sun Jiliang case was carefully selected by Yang Yupei, she let Yang Tong do it, and she came to the bottom line, but Yang Tong did not consider the details in his work, and finally failed in the details, which made Li Longji find a reason to reuse Yang Guozhong instead of Yang Tong .

It can be said that this case killed two birds with one stone for Li Longji. It not only hit Li Linfu hard, but also made Yang Yupei unable to oppose Yang Guozhong's entry into Beijing.

Yang Yupei is the real leader of the Yang family. She is also ambitious and has a great desire for power. She is not easy to show up just because she is a woman. Therefore, she hopes that Yang Yu, who is easy to control, will be in the picture, rather than Yang Guozhong. Yang Yupei has nothing to say about the helpless Adou.

She can only consider finding an opportunity to blow the pillow wind again!

Yang Yupei sighed and said, "I see, please tell the Holy Majesty that I have no objection to Yang Guozhong's entry to Beijing!"

Yuan Siyi said indifferently: "Madam, all those who know about this case must be erased. This is also the meaning of the Holy Majesty."

Yang Yupei nodded, "I will kill the real culprit as soon as possible!"

 Three white eyes are wolf eyes, and only half of the pupils are exposed in the eyes, which looks more sinister.
