Chapter 165
Dong Fuzi, who knows the gods, has eavesdropped on a fairy from the mountains.

If you speak late and quicker, you will respond, and will spin back and forth if you are sentimental.

……

On the night when the two brothers Wang Ji were executed, Yang Guozhong hosted a banquet for Yin Sanniang alone at the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden, and thanked him personally.

After Yang Guozhong boarded the boat, the boat slowly sailed into the center of the lake.When the breeze hit, Yang Guozhong was full of ambition.Looking at the Pavilion in the middle of the lake, as the saying goes: "The Yulin Pavilion has a secluded path, and thousands of plums and trees blow fragrant snow. The clearness in the Maosong Pavilion is even clearer, and there is a sound of a tripod frying tea."

Yang Guozhong went up to the small building and found that Ji Wen was there, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

Yin Sanniang smiled mysteriously, raised his wine glass, respected Jiwen and said: "Master Ji is the first to win today!"

Ji Wen hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Zhesha, the official, the third lady is planning a strategy, how dare the official take credit for it."

Yang Guozhong was confused and said, "Sister Yin, what's going on?"

Yin Sanniang poured wine for Yang Guozhong and said: "My lord, drink this glass of wine first and let me speak slowly." Only then did the mystery be revealed.

It turned out that Yang Shenjin was very close to Shi Jingzhong, a sorcerer, and gave a lot of money to support Shi Jingzhong.Yang Shenjin had a maid named Mingzhu who looked like a fairy.Wang Yu asked for it many times, but Yang Shenjin was reluctant, but gave it to Shi Jingzhong.

Wang Chi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he hates these quacks. The Mingzhu incident made him hate Shi Jingzhong even more.Every time he saw this person, he would be arrogant, negligent, insulting, and even speak ill of him in front of Yang Shenjin.

Shi Jingzhong is not a good stubble either, he thought: "Don't you not believe it? I will let you completely surrender to me."

Not long after, Shi Jingzhong devised a scheme to make the vegetation in Yang Shenjin's father's cemetery bleed.Yang Shenjin was frightened, and according to Shi Jingzhong's suggestion, he set up a dojo in the back garden to worship ghosts and gods.The more devout Yang Shenjin was, the more unbelief Wang Ji became, and he suspected that Shi Jingzhong was pretending to be a ghost.On the tenth day, the two brothers Wang Chiu lurk in the cemetery of Yang Shenjin's father Yang Chongli to find out.

Shi Jingzhong saw the two of them took the bait, so he used illusion on the scene of the cemetery, causing them to be bewitched by evil spirits, and saw the thousand-year-old fox demon appear.Shi Jingzhong also used the technique of hypnosis and soul transfer to implant some mysterious prophecies into the subconscious minds of the two.The purpose is to make Wang Chi fear ghosts and gods and worship himself.

Sure enough, after the supernatural incident, Wang Chi respected and worshiped Shi Jingzhong and was very polite.Shi Jingzhong's original intention was to trick Wang Hao and forget it. Seeing that the effect was achieved, he was going to find an opportunity to use illusion to cast spells on Wang Hao brothers to restore the clarity of the Lingtai.

But it didn't take long before the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.Wang Yu and Li Linfu colluded to frame Yang Shenjin, and the three brothers Yang Shenjin, Yang Shenyu, and Yang Shenming were forced to commit suicide, Shi Jingzhong was punished by one hundred, and he took his family to exile in Lingnan.Dozens of other people who had contacts with Shi Jingzhong were implicated, including the heir King Li Ju.

Shi Jingzhong held a grudge, and before being exiled to Lingnan, he told the secret to Ji Wen, the son of his old friend, and wanted to use Ji Wen's hand to get rid of Wang Chi.Shi Jingzhong knew that Wang Jian was an idiot, and if he didn't cast spells to brainwash him, he would definitely cause a catastrophe and implicate Wang's family.Ji Wen is the number one cruel official under Li Linfu, he is cruel and merciless, and will definitely use this secret to bring Wang Chi down.

Just as Shi Jingzhong expected, later on the three pillars of the court, Yang Guozhong and Wang Hao rose strongly, and the power struggle intensified, and the fight was to the death.Seeing that Yang's family is flourishing with the favor of the imperial concubine, while Li Xiang has sunk to the west, Ji Wen turns his back on Li Linfu, turns to Yang Guozhong and shakes his tail, and betrays the secret to Yin Sanniang.

Yin Sanniang knew that Yang Guozhong and Wang Chi were at odds, and she was determined to get rid of Wang Chi's superiority.The two hit it off and worked hand in hand.

Under Yin Sanniang's careful planning, Wang Jian meets Jianghu magician Xing Jian by chance.Step by step, he fell into the trap set by Yin Sanniang and Ji Wenbu.

……

After hearing this, Yang Guozhong was both surprised and happy, and said, "Sister Yin, why didn't you tell me about this in advance, so that I can be prepared?"

Yin Sanniang said: "Your Excellency is open-minded and straightforward. I am worried that Your Excellency will show his flaws in front of the Holy One. If Your Excellency is also kept in the dark, this play will be performed realistically and naturally."

Yang Guozhong laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, and said, "This glass, my lord Ji. From today on, you, Ji Qi, are commensurate with my brother Yang Guozhong!"

……

On the night of Yang Guozhong's celebration, Li Linfu was restless.He has laid out the court structure for nearly 20 years, and in the past two years, Yang Guozhong has been prying it bit by bit.A force against him is slowly gathering.

The year before last, Zhao Fengzhang, the magistrate of Xianning County, listed more than [-] crimes and openly reported himself.I received the news in advance and ordered Yushi to arrest him, and beat him to death with a stick on the charge of deceiving people with false words.

Last year, Song Hun, the imperial historian, embezzled [-] million yuan. The evidence was conclusive. He was impeached by Yang Guozhong and exiled.

Later, Xiao Jiong was also caught by Yang Guozhong, impeached and expelled from Chang'an.

Both Xiao Jiong and Song Hun were his confidantes, but the evidence was solid, and Yang Guozhong was able to directly upload the memorial to Datian for listening.He watched helplessly as they were taken down, but he was powerless to rescue them.

This time Wang Chi's death was worse than before.In the court, the check and balance situation of the three pillars was completely broken. From today onwards, he will face Yang Guozhong's naked challenge.

Although Yang Guozhong was ignorant, he had no talent as a prime minister, and he had not been an official for a long time, and his foundation in the court was unstable, but political struggles never paid attention to the will of the people and relied on strength.As long as the Holy Majesty is behind him, he can change from a jackal to a tiger at any time.

Although most of the officials in the court were single-handedly selected by themselves, they never talked about friendship and only talked about interests when they stood in political teams.Once they see themselves losing power, everyone will be like vultures jumping on carrion, pushing the wall down and tearing themselves to pieces.

Thinking of these, Li Linfu shuddered.Will he be able to retreat completely, or will he be bestowed to death by His Majesty on the way to exile?
Li Xiu just tried to persuade himself to reconcile with Yang Guozhong.He is still too naive, there is no such thing as reconciliation in the power struggle, as long as he shows the slightest weakness and concession, let alone Yang Guozhong, all the officials in the court will immediately change the direction of the wind and turn to the Yang family.At that time, I am afraid that the memorial to impeach him will fill the entire Daming Palace like snowflakes.

Therefore, we must not show weakness, we must resolutely fight back.But where to fight back?It would be great if King Qing was on his side.

Thinking of King Qing's attitude towards him, Li Linfu had another headache.Suddenly, there was a burst of dizziness in front of his eyes, and Li Linfu fell to the ground.
