Chapter 099 Bribing Gao Lishi
Gao Lishi's sudden arrival made Yang Guozhong feel a little sudden.

At this time, he was secretly discussing important matters with Zhang Xuan and Yang Sanjie's mother and son at Mrs. Guoguo's mansion. When he suddenly got the news, he ordered his eldest son Yang Xun to wait in front of the mansion and asked him to lead Gao Lishi to Mrs. Guoguo's mansion.

"Zizhan, judging from the truth, Gao Lishi's coming here must be because His Majesty wants to force the truth to make a statement... Ah, this is not easy to deal with. On the one hand, the truth cannot disobey His Majesty's wishes, but on the other hand On the one hand..." Yang Guozhong's eyes flickered, projecting a bit of the cleverness and cunning of a common man.

"Yang Xiang, just express your opinion, why is it so difficult? Yang Xiang happened to pass the news that the prince worshiped the imperial concubine as his mother to the palace at this moment, and the empress will naturally go to His Majesty to present the blood letter, which is extremely beautiful. .”

Zhang Xuan smiled.

Yang Guozhong suddenly frowned and said, "If Your Majesty refuses to agree, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty loves Your Majesty, and as long as your Majesty asks sincerely, His Majesty will not bear to refuse. And at this time, if Prime Minister Yang's attitude is firmer, His Majesty will definitely change his mind. In fact, we have no way out, we can only move forward..."

"Your Majesty does not agree, and I can only ask His Majesty to agree! That's all!" Zhang Xuan's voice was sonorous, and his expression was clear.

Yang Guozhong glanced at him, pondered for a while, "There is some truth in what you said. But the truth is that even if His Majesty agrees, it is a stopgap measure. After a long time, the crown prince's position as the crown prince is still not guaranteed. Yo."

Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart: After a while, it's not certain whether he will be guaranteed the emperor's seat, let alone the prince!As long as it can be delayed for a year, he can calmly arrange and plan the major events in the future.

As for now, we must save the prince first.And that King Rong's party... must be eradicated!Zhang Xuan pursed his lips lightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

But it's like this in my heart, but I can't say it with my mouth.

"Yang Xiang, as long as Yang Xiang supports him, the prince's power will become more and more stable. In just one year, who can compete with the prince?" Zhang Xuan looked at Yang Guozhong meaningfully and said with a smile, "Yang Xiang is here, so what about Gao Xianzhi and Pei Dunfu? Is that enough?"

Yang Guozhong was flattered by Zhang Xuan without a trace, he felt refreshed, and laughed loudly, "Of course. There is the truth, so what is Gao Xianzhi, a foreigner who came from Hu'er. Dare to compete with the truth? Here He is so courageous, he dare not!"

"Furthermore, Yang Xiang, I heard that Gao Xianzhi was defeated by the Black Clothes Dashi in the Western Regions, which damaged the soldiers and generals and greatly damaged our reputation in the Tang Dynasty. If that's the case, why doesn't Yang Xiang participate in one of the books and take away his military power?"

"The son-in-law's lieutenant Yang Kai has made great achievements in literature and martial arts. Why doesn't Prime Minister recommend Yang son-in-law to His Majesty as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, to sit in the Western Regions and secure the world?"

Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up.Gao Xianzhi was defeated a few years ago, and there were complaints between the government and the opposition. It's not that no one came up to refer to him, but they were all suppressed by the emperor. The emperor seemed to have other arrangements.

And if taking advantage of this opportunity to pull Gao Xianzhi off the horse and put people in the Yang family, wouldn't it be a great joy for the Yang family?
However, although Yang Guozhong agreed in his heart, he said calmly, "Gao Xianzhi was defeated, and the courtiers participated in many performances. The truth is that he has always been loyal to the court and has a lot of talent, so he couldn't bear to make trouble. But From this point of view, he was ambitious and colludes with King Rong to commit misdeeds, which completely blinded Truth's caring feelings——Since this is the case, why should Truth tolerate adultery again?!"

"Okay, let's discuss this matter later. Zizhan, Gao Lishi is coming, you should step back first."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Your Majesty should retire. However, I suggest that General Gao is His Majesty's confidant, and his words carry a lot of weight. If you can win him over, it's better to draw him over for my use."

"This old thing is an old fox, not so easy to fool."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "General Gao is greedy for money, as long as he has enough money, he will be tempted."

Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Yang Guozhong's expression changed, and he thought: I agreed to support this crown prince, which already gave the East Palace a great deal of face, but now I want to ask the truth to raise money for Li Heng?It is simply unreasonable!
Yang Guozhong is also a money-grubbing person, if he wants to make him bleed, it will make his heart hurt more than digging his flesh.

Zhang Xuan basked in the sun secretly, but smiled, "Mr. Yang, you must know that if you spend money to support the East Palace today, if the East Palace is successful in the future, you will definitely repay Mr. Yang ten times and a hundred times. This account, Mr. Yang, should figure it out for himself."

Yang Guozhong's eyes wavered, Zhang Xuan was right, he was a little tempted, but he still couldn't bear it.

Third Sister Yang glanced at Zhang Xuan with a smile, then turned her head to look at Yang Guozhong and chuckled softly, "Third Brother, you don't need to be hurt. This gift, the slave's house should come out. How about a dendrobium of pearls and a thousand taels of gold from the slave's house?"

The corner of Yang Guozhong's mouth twitched, and he stammered, "Third sister, is it too much? That old thing..."

"This little wealth, I can still get it here." The third sister Yang waved her hand indifferently, "Third brother, if we want to preserve the prosperity and wealth of our Yang family, we can't care about the gains and losses at this moment. One thousand taels of gold, one Although the Pearl of Dendrobium is valuable, compared with the future of the Yang family, how important is it?"

Yang Guozhong was silent.Of course he understands this truth better than Third Sister Yang, but he just doesn't give up money.

When the two were having this conversation, Zhang Xuan had actually reached the corner of the hall and was about to turn out.The words of Third Sister Yang reached his ears, and he couldn't help applauding secretly: This Yang Guozhong is the prime minister, an extremely human minister, but he can't escape the nature of a rascal in the market, he is not as courageous and knowledgeable as a woman like Third Sister Yang!

……

……

Gao Lishi arrived and lingered for more than half an hour.

Yang Guozhong's attitude surprised Gao Lishi, and what Yang Guozhong and Yang Sanjie said next shocked him even more—Yang Guozhong actually wanted to support Yang Yuhuan in accepting Li Heng as his son, which meant that Yang Guozhong had already stood with the prince Li Heng. Together.

But the momentary shock was soon taken away by the dazzling gold and jewels. He greedily looked at the pearl and thousand taels of gold sent by Sanjie Yang, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

It's just that although Gao Lishi is greedy for money, he is cautious, especially for such a major matter related to the struggle for imperial power, it is impossible to agree easily.

Reluctantly, he looked away from the golden pearl, and smiled softly, "Ms. Yang and Mrs. Guo Guo are really polite, but our family will not be rewarded for their merits, so we dare not accept this generous gift."

"However, Yang Xiang, let us tell you that everyone intends to..." Gao Lishi lowered his voice and waved his hands.

Yang Guozhong chuckled disapprovingly, "General, Your Majesty intends to abolish the crown prince. I don't know how many times in these years, but which one was really abolished? Please think about it, Your Majesty: Your Majesty has always favored your majesty, if your majesty is single-minded Counting on the prince to rely on in the future, will His Majesty have the heart to refuse the Empress?"

"The general reconciled, the empress sincerely begged, the truth was firm, and the prince asked the prince to plead guilty..." Yang Guozhong twitched his lips, "Looking at the truth, your majesty will agree. After all, the prince is your majesty's own son, and he has been in the East Palace all these years. Humility and prudence, no great merits and no major faults, how can you say that it is abolished?"

"Your Majesty should have already told His Majesty... General, the icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. The general has helped us. Whether it is the truth or the crown prince, we are inexplicably grateful and will be remembered!"

Gao Lishi giggled, his thoughts flashed.After weighing and weighing, I feel that this time Yang Guozhong and Concubine Yang have united to support Li Heng, and Li Heng's crown prince may be temporarily safe.Although it is hard to say in the future, at least for now, there is no need to worry.

Thinking of this, his eyes subconsciously fell on the bright pearl gold in front of him, and he became hot in an instant, and he laughed again, "In this case, our family will not be polite. Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Guo, our family knows what to do." How to do it - leave now, our family will return to the palace to report to His Majesty!"

"General, this is the letter from the official account of the defeat of Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi Dufu Mansion, and Jiedu envoy Gao Xianzhi. I would like to ask the general to pass it on." Gao Lishi wanted to leave, and Yang Guozhong got up to see him off, following the trend He took out the written impeachment form from his cuff and handed it to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi took the other man's short hand, and naturally he was not hypocritical, so he took it with a smile and walked away.

"Third Brother, can this old guy do anything?" Third Sister Yang stared at the back of Gao Lishi's chariot and horse, and said softly.

"Third sister, don't underestimate the ability of this old eunuch. In front of His Majesty, this old guy is almost unambiguous... Since Tianbao, some people said that offending Li Linfu still has a chance to breathe, and that offending Gao Lishi will undoubtedly die. That's the reason."

"Forget it, I'll leave the truth. Third sister, listen to my third brother's persuasion. Zhang Xuan's scheming is deep and unfathomable. Third sister, don't get caught too deep. You just made a wedding dress for nothing, and you will eat it in the future." Great loss." Yang Guozhong turned his head and took a deep look at Third Sister Yang, then bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Third Sister Yang's pretty face changed, but she sighed softly as her eyes shifted.Yang Guozhong just reminded her that although Zhang Xuan was young, he was not easy to control, and advised her not to be fascinated by others.In fact, Sanjie Yang didn't know this, but she had already fallen into it and couldn't extricate herself.

But the longer I get along with Zhang Xuan, the deeper I fall into this mentality.

Third Sister Yang felt sorry for herself, and was about to turn around and go back to her room, when she heard a clear and soft voice from behind, "Thanks to Third Sister's love, Zhang Xuan feels the same way... In the future, I will never betray you!"

Third Sister Yang's heart trembled, and she turned around happily to look at Zhang Xuan, and said bewilderedly, "Brother Xuan, are you not lying to my family?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and stretched out his hand slowly. Just when Sanjie Yang was hesitant for a moment, he grabbed her extremely pink hand and led her forward together, "Sister Yang, winter is coming." , can spring be far behind?"
