Yang Guozhong didn't even have the mood to go to the yamen, he locked himself in the room alone, pacing back and forth, thinking about how to deal with the things in front of him, the position of the right minister, he had been waiting for too long, and he wished to sit on it all at once, and now that Li Linfu is also dead, the position of the right minister is vacant, which is a good opportunity for him.

If it weren't for the matter of the evil servant, he believed that the emperor's will should come down at this moment, he should be the right minister now, but it is useless to be anxious, at this moment, the emperor really did not make up his mind, and the position of the right minister was still hanging high there, which made him feel like a fish in his throat.

"It's all this cheap bone that stabs me in such a big basket."

Yang Guozhong hated a person, it was very hateful, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

And the person he hates the most is naturally the evil servant who offended the princess, if it weren't for this evil servant who inadvertently offended Princess Quang Ninh, there would be no follow-up series of things, and his position as the right minister would be very stable, and at this moment, he couldn't get the position of the right minister immediately, it was this evil servant who harmed him.

Of course, if you just get the position of right minister later, it doesn't matter much, I'm afraid that the emperor will change his mind and give this right minister the official position to other officials, so Yang Guozhong is afraid that he will have to wait a little longer, and he obviously can't wait.

Yang Guozhong touched his forehead with one hand, and he was about to wear out the skin on his forehead.

"Prepare the car, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."

Yang Guozhong thought about it, and felt that he couldn't sit still, and he had to take the initiative to attack, at least go to the palace to walk around, discuss it with the concubine, let the concubine blow the pillow wind more, and let the emperor make a decision earlier to give him the position of right prime minister.

The country can not be without an owner for a day, the same way, the prime minister can not be without an owner for a day, the Tang Dynasty implements a group system, the prime minister is not a person, but there is only one person who writes the prime minister, if the prime minister is delayed, it will affect the government and government, and it will also make it difficult for many officials to feel at ease.

Therefore, the emperor's heart is also more anxious, after all, Li Linfu is dead, and the vacant position of the right minister must be filled in, but at this moment, his favorite candidate has made him panic one after another, making him unable to make up his mind.

Looking at the front eulogy of the Datang Daily, Li Longji angrily threw the newspaper aside, unable to say a word angrily.

The matter of the evil servant has made him very angry, and the subsequent Liu Dasha incident made him even more angry, and now it is even worse, this fool jumped into the well and died in Yang Guozhong's house, and it was known all over the city.

Although there is no evidence to prove that this Liu Dasha was murdered by the people in the government, it can't stop the people in the capital from thinking like this, and if Yang Guozhong is promoted at this time, it will be a little too inappropriate.

Since ancient times, there is a saying that good things come in pairs, after a person has made meritorious service, he will be rewarded, and it is the best to let him be promoted, if a person makes a mistake and suddenly promotes him, then the official will be promoted a little inexplicably, which will make many people dissatisfied.

It is precisely with these in mind that even though Li Linfu has passed away, Li Longji still has not made up his mind to determine the candidate for the right minister, he wants to delay for some time, let Yang Guozhong and the crown prince handle state affairs first, and then promote Yang Guozhong when the time is ripe.

And the reason why this is so, one is because Yang Guozhong's sycophancy is really good, and the other is because of the concubine, in order to show his love for the concubine, he must promote more people from the Yang family, so that if the concubine is full of glory, the concubine's mood will also be very good, and he really can't find a more suitable and obedient candidate.

Li Longji decided on the candidate for the right minister later, it was a painstaking effort, but Yang Guozhong didn't understand, he was an impatient, and he wished he could sit on the throne of the right minister immediately, for this day, he waited too long, he really didn't want to continue to wait, of course, he was more worried about the long night, in case the emperor suddenly changed his mind and gave the official position of the right minister to individual officials, he would be finished from the start.

The most important thing is the problem of face, at this moment, his qualifications and official position are very high, and the prince handles the government together, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the emperor cultivating a successor, the prince is taking over the throne, and Yang Guozhong is taking over the position of the right minister, if suddenly another official becomes the right minister, then his face will be very unbearable.

In the corridor of the palace, Yang Guozhong was pacing back and forth, he was waiting for the concubine, although he could also go to the bedroom to see the concubine, but after all, it was the concubine's living place, it was easy to cause gossip, it was better to meet in public, at this moment, he was already unlucky, but he didn't dare to cause new trouble, he could be careful.

"My cousin is calling me in such a hurry, what is the important matter?"

Yang Yuhuan hurriedly walked over and asked.

Yang Guozhong first saluted respectfully, and then motioned to the palace maid and eunuch beside him to go farther.

Yang Yuhuan waved his hand casually, and the eunuch and the palace maid walked to a distance where it was difficult to hear their whispered words.

Yang Yuhuan stroked his hair and said, "Say it!" What the hell is going on? ”

"Sister Guifei, Li Youxiang has passed away, you know this!"

Yang Guozhong asked.

"Well, I already know, it's been delaying for more than half a year, and it's time to return to heaven."

Yang Yuhuan said lightly.

"Sister Guifei, since this Right Prime Minister Li has passed away, the position of Right Prime Minister is vacant, although I have confidence in myself, but if it is Sister Guifei, I can blow more pillow wind in His Majesty's ears, then I am more sure, I can be the right minister, it is not all my business, this is the glory of the entire Yang family, and it is the glory of the sister of the concubine."

Yang Guozhong said sweetly.

When Yang Yuhuan heard this, she didn't answer immediately, she also paced back and forth, this matter is just a gesture for her, but the position of right minister, after all, is the biggest official position in the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor's woman, how can she interfere in the government casually, in case she angers the emperor, it will be worth the loss.

Although she is very favored now, the reason for being favored is because she is obedient and in line with the emperor's wishes, if she interferes in the government everywhere, it will move the emperor's foundation, for example, the emperor will be displeased, which will shake her favored status, however, it is not a big deal to occasionally intervene in the government, this requires timing and specific circumstances.

For example, when Li Longji wanted to do something for Li Bai's officials, the concubine ran out to say bad things about Li Bai, and finally mixed up Li Bai's official position, but the number of times the concubine intervened in this kind of thing was very small, and Li Bai did not do well in many places, and it was too easy to say bad things about Li Bai, alcoholism and contempt for the powerful, these are enough to say, and the official position given to Li Bai by the emperor was not very large, and the official position was not very important, so it was easy to intervene successfully.

But the current position of the right minister is different, this official position is the highest official position in the Tang Dynasty, the first of the hundred officials, such an important official position, related to the political situation of the Tang Empire, the emperor must be very favorable, if she has a concubine to intervene in this position, it is really interfering in the government and politics, I am afraid that it will make the emperor unhappy, so she will naturally hesitate in her heart.

"Sister Guifei, are there any difficulties?"

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan always didn't speak, Yang Guozhong asked.

"Cousin, this right minister is not an ordinary official position, I am just a woman, how can I interfere casually, the concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is not just as simple as talking, and recently, His Majesty's prejudice against you has not disappeared, it is not easy to do it at this juncture!"

Yang Yuhuan said embarrassedly.

"Sister Guifei, you don't have to say it directly, you can ask on the side to see what His Majesty has planned, so that I can know in my heart!"

What Yang Guozhong is most worried about is not waiting for a while, but that the position of the right minister has been snatched away by others, as long as others don't snatch it away, it doesn't matter if he waits a few more days.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Guozhong, and said unhappily: "Although Your Majesty is old, his brain is not confused at all, everything is clear, as soon as I open my mouth, he knows what I mean, and if I want to quietly set out His Majesty's words, it is impossible, as long as Your Majesty doesn't want to say it, no one can get it." ”

"But Li Youxiang has passed away, this vacant position of Right Prime Minister always has to be filled, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that there will be changes!"

Yang Guozhong said very worriedly, he was too afraid that the official position of the right minister would be snatched away by others, it didn't matter before, but now, he has already handled the government on his behalf, and he must be the right minister, if the right minister is not his in the end, then his old face will really have no place to put it.

"Cousin, my sister always thinks that delay is a good thing, if you let Your Majesty make up your mind to elect the right minister now, with the recent incident in my cousin's family, maybe I will lose this right minister, it's better to wait."

Yang Yuhuan really didn't dare to take the risk of opening his mouth, lest he have a bad impression of interfering in court politics in front of the emperor.

"Wait, how long will that be waiting! The highest glory of my Yang family is just around the corner, and I have to wait......"

Yang Guozhong was reluctant in his heart, he was too anxious, his endurance was not ordinarily poor, he belonged to the type of great joy and couldn't hold his breath, which was quite similar to Li Longji in the later period, and it was no wonder that he could be appreciated.

In history, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong are unrealistic, good and happy types, before the Anshi Rebellion, Yang Guozhong pressed step by step, leaving no room for relaxation, and finally caused An Lushan's early rebellion, and after the war, it was the best strategy to hold on to Tongguan, but the emperor and Yang Guozhong, a pair of monarchs and ministers, had successively killed the generals, and forced the veteran Ge Shuhan to go out to meet the enemy, as a result, the Tang royal family suffered a great defeat, and the rebels were like bamboos all the way. The capital city of Chang'an was breached, causing the royal family to flee to the land of Shuzhong to temporarily avoid the edge.

If they could be calmer and calmly analyze the strength of the rebels, then there would not be such a low-level mistake, but unfortunately, they are too arrogant, one person is not arrogant, the monarch and the minister are arrogant together, and the result is this eternal regret.

And once such a character is formed, it is also difficult to change, after all, they are so old, how can they change their character flaws, no matter how hard they try, I am afraid that they can't change it, in addition, this problem has a certain relationship with nature, and at the same time, it is also related to the formation of the day after tomorrow, Li Longji has been the emperor for too long, and he has long been accustomed to the set of great joys, so that he was aggrieved and let the Tang army shrink in Tongguan, where can he swallow this breath, he must send troops immediately, in order to conform to his bearing.

Moreover, after the concealment of the officials below, he, the emperor, has long been unaware of the strength of the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty, and thought that these soldiers and horses could beat the rebels of An Lushan, in fact, these pampered Central Army are not the opponents of the rebels at all, you know, the rebels are entrenched in the northeast and are good at fighting the border army, and the strength is not comparable to these sons and soldiers in the capital.

The only one who can compete with the rebels must be the Shuofang Army, which is also a border army, this army is not only elite, but the generals are rare talents, but unfortunately the emperor and the prime minister are too good to be happy, and they can't hold their breath at all, and they missed the God-given opportunity to kill the opponent in vain.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong's anxious state was exposed, and he couldn't hold his breath seriously, as long as he calmed down and analyzed it carefully, he would understand that the official position of the right minister was his, and others would never take it away, but he couldn't calm down, and he was always worried that someone would snatch his official position away.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and in history, if Yang Guozhong wasn't seriously anxious, he wouldn't have caused repeated political crises.

He originally wanted to subdue An Lushan, but found that his ability was too poor to subdue the other party, so he was in a hurry to borrow the emperor's hand to get rid of An Lushan, and chattered in the emperor's ear all day long, saying that An Lushan was going to rebel, so hurry up and arrest this goods to punish the crime! And this situation was known by An Lushan's ears and eyes in the palace, and it was passed back, so An Lushan felt bad, so he launched a rebellion in advance, and the name of the rebellion was to use the reason for the Qing monarch's side.

After the rebellion, the rebels were like bamboos all the way, and soon hit the Luoyang area, the Tang Central Army could only retreat to Luoyang, and confronted the rebels, at this time, Yang Guozhong, who could not hold his breath, once again in front of the emperor who was so happy, asked the emperor to give an order, let the rabble on the front line attack, in order to annihilate the rebellious An Lushan soldiers and horses as soon as possible, but fell into the rebels' tricks, resulting in 200,000 troops left, and then lost Tongguan, after that, even the capital Chang'an could not be kept.
