"Patriarch, according to Qin Anming's words, the emperor is going to give you Yang Luwang's seat. This result is beyond our expectations."

A man in his late fifties sat under Yang Binglin.

"The more you get, the greater the price you pay."

Yang Binglin glanced at the man and said softly.

This person's name is Lu Liangyi, and his mother is the eldest daughter of Uncle Yang Daosi, so he can be considered half of the Yang family.

Lu Liangyi is forty-six years old this year. He is a sensible man and good at power. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-three and entered the official career. It is said that with the Yang family as a big backer, Lu Liangyi's official career should be smooth, but in fact, three years ago,

When Lu Liangyi resigned and went into seclusion, his official position was only the Sima of Xuzhou, the governor of the central government, and an official of the sixth rank.

Lu Liangyi was very smart and capable, but his intelligence and ability were not used to serve the people as an official, but were used for himself. Yang Daosi once said that Lu Liangyi was talented and good at planning.

People want to do things, but they are too focused on fame and their methods are too vicious, which damages their moral integrity. If they take power in the future, it may not be a big deal to the Yang family, but it will be a big disaster to the people of the world. Therefore, although Lu Liangyi is talented, Yang Daosi has always been

It was abandoned and left unused, which made Lu Liangyi depressed and unbearable, so he resigned and went into seclusion three years ago.

Unexpectedly, after Yang Binglin came to power, he suffered from the lack of anyone around him, so he thought of Lu Liangyi and personally visited him to ask him to come out.

Lu Liangyi smiled: "If you give up, you will get something. The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been given the title of participating in political affairs. It is already one of the few high positions in the court. The patriarch has this official position. After Yang Daolin, the position of right minister will be held by the patriarch.

There is a lot to be done, but as for those people who have no use value, they are no different from garbage. If they are useless, just throw them away, so what does it matter."

Yang Binglin still had some doubts: "I gave them Chengruo, but now...it's..."

Lu Liangyi laughed loudly: "Why does the patriarch want so much? Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. No matter what benevolence or credibility, they are worthless in the face of interests. The patriarch can rest assured that those people have no way out. The patriarch sold them. They

I'm afraid I have to help count the money and be more flattering than before. If the clan leader really can't bear it, just give them some benefits when there is an opportunity in the future. They will naturally forget what happened today."

Yang Binglin nodded and said no more. He was actually just pretending. In fact, he and Lu Liangyi were both the same kind of people. For the sake of profit, they could give up anything. Benevolence and righteousness? Morality? Credibility? Whenever he was needed, he would

When they exist and are no longer needed, these are just garbage and you can choose to forget them.

While the two were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open and Yang Taiyi barged in.

"Lord, something big has happened."

Yang Binglin's face was gloomy and he stared at Yang Taiyi coldly. If he couldn't give himself a reasonable explanation, Yang Binglin would not let him off lightly.

Of course Yang Taiyi could see something was wrong with Yang Binglin's expression, but when the matter came to an emergency, he also lost his bearings.

"My lord, there was an assassination incident at the Qingyun Palace. Li Xun was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown. The emperor believes that the incident was caused by the lord, and has ordered Zhang Jin, the right general of the Yulin Guard, to lead the soldiers to capture the lord."

What? Li Xun was assassinated?

Yang Binglin's expression changed several times, he stood up suddenly and lost his voice.

Lu Liangyi's face was calm, and he asked Yang Taiyi: "When did this happen?"

Yang Taiyi replied: "Half an hour ago, the imperial doctor was now giving first aid to Li Xun. The situation is not bad. Whether he can be saved or not is another matter. Liang Wei, the captain of the Yulin Guard, is one of ours. After learning the news, he immediately

Come and report."

Yang Binglin sat down again in a daze and murmured to himself: "Li Xun was assassinated, who did it?"

Lu Liangyi winked at Yang Taiyi, who understood, turned around and left, closing the door again.

Yang Binglin looked at Lu Liangyi and asked in a deep voice: "Perhaps King Yi did it."

"King Yi has always been cautious and acted before planning. Li Xun was assassinated just before the Emperor was born. King Yi would never do such an extremely irrational behavior."

"Who could that be?"

"None of this matters anymore."

Lu Liangyi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has ordered people to come and arrest him. He obviously thinks that the clan leader did this. The clan leader needs to consider only one thing now. How should he explain it to the emperor?"

Yang Binglin gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't do it, what should I explain?"

Lu Liangyi sighed: "I think the mastermind behind Li Xun's assassination may be the emperor. If Li Xun is really dead, there are too many things that can be solved. The emperor can justifiably take action against you directly. You

If something goes wrong, Yang Daolin will have no constraints in the Yang family. He can keep his promise, the chaos in the court will end, and the Yang family will also suffer a major blow. Compared with Li Xun, the emperor will get too many benefits.

.”

Yang Binglin frowned and said, "Is this going to be the case?"

Yang Binglin didn't believe it. Li Xun was not an ordinary person. He was Li Yi's only nephew. He didn't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Moreover, this was not like Zhao Zhi's usual way of doing things.

Lu Liangyi said calmly: "This is just my guess. There is a possibility. However, based on the relationship between Li Xun, the prince, and Concubine Li, even if the emperor has this idea, I am afraid he will not mess around. He is the emperor, what does he want to do?

, there are other methods and means, so it doesn’t have to be like this.”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Taiyi's voice came: "Chief, Zhang Jin has arrived with his troops and horses. Please go to Qingyun Hall."

Yang Binglin looked at Lu Liangyi. He had been very calm from beginning to end. He thought he already had a countermeasure.

Lu Liangyi came closer and whispered in a low voice.

After listening to Lu Liangyi's words, Yang Binglin frowned, but soon relaxed and sighed: "As a result, many people will hate me to the core."

Lu Liangyi sneered and said: "If you don't serve yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Even if you are a poor Taoist, you will die. At this time, what choice do you have?"

Yang Binglin remained silent. After a moment, he nodded, stood up, and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Zhang Jin was walking around, pressing the hilt of his sword hard with his left hand, his heart filled with anger and murderous intent.

There were three assassins in the assassination just now. One assassin was seriously injured and was killed by Li Xun. The other two assassins were also injured and finally escaped. Li Xun was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Zhang Jin was worried that there were assassins around and did not dare to

pursuit.

Later, when the emperor learned about this, he was furious and immediately ordered Zhang Jin to lead people to arrest Yang Binglin, and another group of people went to King Yi.

Yang Binglin walked out of the door at this time. Zhang Jin stared at him coldly and said through gritted teeth: "Yang Binglin, the emperor invites you to go to Qingyun Palace."

Yang Binglin glanced at Zhang Jin. His clothes were quite messy and there were several scars. His eyes were full of anger and hostility.

"General Zhang, please lead the way."
