"You mean that the emperor's big move this time will involve a wide range?"

Li Xun faintly guessed that Sima Tu said this problem, two years ago, he had a deep discussion with Fan Zhongyun, Fan Zhongyun said a lot at the time, two aspects, if five years later, Yang Daosi is still the right minister, what will happen, if there is an accident, there is no Yang Daosi in the court, what will it be, the current situation, although there are some differences with Fan Zhongyun's original analysis, but it is roughly the same, which makes Li Xun have a deeper admiration for it.

Sima Tu nodded: "The emperor has dismissed so many officials at once, many of them are the core figures of power, but most of these people are the right prime minister's party, or the ministers within the influence of the wing king, the balance of power is about equality, not one-sided, the next court meeting, the emperor may appropriately suppress the power of the prince, otherwise, how can Yang Binglin and the wing king be willing to give up?" Now that the situation between Momeng and Tubo is becoming more and more serious, the emperor should make certain concessions at this time, in order to stabilize the situation in the court as soon as possible, and then concentrate all his energy to deal with Momeng and Tubo. ”

Li Xun frowned and said nothing, his assassination came very suddenly, shocking everyone, but at the same time, this is also a godsend, at least for Zhao Zhi in the predicament, his assassination gave him an excellent excuse, from the first time Zhao Zhi detained the Wing King Zhao He and Yang Binglin, obviously not ready to let them go easily, even if the two of them did not die, they had to lose their skin, but then, the news of the change in the situation between Momeng and Tubo came, and Zhao Zhi's attitude changed another 360 degrees, releasing the Wing King and Yang Binglin, Diverting the main blow away from them, the two narrowly escaped.

For this result, although Li Xun was a little disappointed, he knew that his assassination still had a great help for Zhao Zhi, giving him an excuse to start purging the court with strong means, and Yang Binglin and Yiwang had not yet cleared the suspicion on their bodies, and they could only remain silent at this time, at least for a short time, they would never dare to make any more moves.

"Sima Tu, what do you think the emperor will do?"

Li Xun looked at Sima Tu and asked out loud.

Sima Tu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now the instability of the court, in fact, is from the emperor himself, two years ago, the battle of Longyou, the Great Jin Dynasty won a brilliant victory, but also took advantage of the situation to recover the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou, the emperor's prestige can be said to have reached the peak, the people of the world are not in awe, at that time, the emperor reorganized the political hall, nine ministers, seven of them are the emperor's confidants, the balance has obviously been broken. ”

Li Xun frowned and said: "What you said, I talked to Fan Zhongyun, he said that this is the emperor's layout for the future, but I still don't understand, Yang Daosi at that time still has enough strength and prestige, the emperor can't completely suppress him, at that time, if Yang Daosi makes a move, it is impossible for the emperor to complete the major reorganization of the political hall, but the strange thing is that from beginning to end, Yang Daosi and the right party have not taken any action and let it go." ”

Sima Tu asked curiously, "What did Fan Zhongyun say at that time?" ”

Li Xun said: "Fan Zhongyun said, the emperor is for the future layout, in terms of the situation at that time, Yang Daosi is already at a disadvantage, if he fights back with all his might, even if he wins, it will be a lose-lose, and the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to reach an agreement with the emperor, on the premise that the interests of the Yang family remain unchanged, Yang Daosi took a step back and supported the emperor's political layout." ”

A hint of admiration flashed in Sima Tu's eyes, the political situation at that time was very complicated, and Fan Zhongyun, as an outsider, could see through the fundamental truth, which was really extraordinary.

"Lord, Fan Zhongyun and my speculation coincide, I thought of a piece, the emperor vigorously reorganized the political hall at that time, that is, in advance for the future political situation layout, paving the way for the prince, and opening up a smooth road, but the premise is that it does not damage the vested interests of the Yang family, since it is the product of a compromise between the two sides, then it can only be temporary, not long-lasting, at a certain time, the emperor has completed his own layout, and the personnel of the political hall will definitely make major changes again, and the emperor and Yang Daosi are both old, Who has to predict how long they can live, so, between the two, there should be a time agreement, three years, or five years, judging from the political development of the past two years, the emperor transferred Li Zhong to return to the capital and serve as the left minister, the prince and Yuwenzhen's eldest daughter combined, let Yuwenzhen take charge of the forbidden army, suppress, and Huang Zhen, who made great achievements in the battle of Longyou, etc., everything he did was to accumulate military and political strength for the prince, and the king of Chu, who had the highest voice before, was deliberately forgotten by the emperor in the past two years, or secretly pressed, on the contrary, he reused the wing king and gave him the power in Hedong, which was actually a political temptation, and sure enough, with the ascension of Zhao Xun, the king of Qi, to the throne of the crown prince, the ministers who surrounded the wing king began to be hit by the emperor one after another, so as to draw a conclusion, the emperor's political layout should be about the same. ”

Li Xun nodded, what Sima Tu said made sense, since ancient times, there has only been one throne, and there are many people who have its qualifications, Zhao Zhi's sons, except for the King of Chu in that environment, the other sons are not ambitious on the surface, but what is secretly thinking, except for themselves, who can know?

Looking at the political trend of the past two years, Li Xun has some understanding, Zhao Zhi reuses Zhao He, suppresses the king of Chu, and the king of Qi is not salty or light, in fact, it is a kind of political temptation, treat them as a lamp, with light, it will attract attention, and at a certain time, who is a human and who is a ghost, it is clear at a glance, Zhao Zhi is clear, understand, this has a clear goal.

Judging from the whole process, Zhao Zhi in the selection of the crown prince, in addition to Zhao Xun, obviously gave Zhao He some opportunities, in the past two years, Zhao Xun performed very well, and Zhao He was not bad, but in the end, Zhao Zhi still chose Zhao Xun, since there is already a choice, the rights in Zhao He's hands are redundant, and Zhao Zhi naturally wants to take it back.

After thinking about these clearly, Li Xun's whole thoughts suddenly brightened, and he said softly: "It seems that at the next court meeting, there will be a heavyweight who will fall, Sima Tu, who do you think it will be?" ”

Yang Daosi's sudden death, not only disrupted all Zhao Zhi's plans, together with the situation of the entire court, has changed a lot, Yang Binglin himself, and his father Yang Daosi, personality, means, characteristics, etc., are completely two different world characters, judging from Yang Binglin's performance during this time, Yang Daosi's political strategy, obviously, most of them were abandoned and changed by Yang Binglin, with the stumbling block of the Yang family, Zhao Zhi may have other thoughts at the beginning, But now, with the great changes in the situation between Momeng and Tibet, Zhao Zhi can only be forced to change his original plan and use new plans and means to deal with the current political situation.

Sima Tu pondered silently, and after a long time, he shook his head and said: "The emperor's political wisdom is comparable to that of Wu Zong, how can I easily guess his thoughts, but I think that Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan are the most likely." "I want to talk about "Being a Prince in the Empire" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
