Chang Anqing

Chapter 137 The Alliance of Marriage
The moment Li Sui's voice fell, the cabin was almost silent, only the melodious Yangzhou minor tune slowly rippling through the cabin door from the undulating place of the strings.At this moment, Zhao Yi's pupils moved almost unnoticed, and he suddenly looked at the person in front of him without even realizing it.

How could she—

With the help of the glazed lantern hanging above his head, Li Sui suddenly remembered that it was the first time for him to sit so close to the King of Yuling, Zhao Yi, who was in front of him without anyone else. When the calm person heard those two words, he showed so many emotions, including astonishment, surprise, and inexplicable complexity.

Indeed, if Zhao Yi in front of you suddenly asked to marry her, even she who has lived through two lifetimes would probably be surprised.

After all, they didn't have too many emotional entanglements in this life, and in the previous life, although the two of them had never had any conflicts, their identities and positions of power meant that they could only be suspicious of each other, with undercurrents surging.

"I know that this entrustment is a bit embarrassing for King Yuling."

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the cabin, Li Sui didn't wait any longer, and saw her sitting up with a relaxed smile, looking at Zhao Yi in front of her, her eyes were quite candid, completely different from the way the two of them saw each other in the past.

At that moment, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that the person sitting in front of him didn't seem to be a 16-year-old boudoir girl, because she was too calm, as if she was talking about someone else's marriage.

"The king of Yuling has been able to walk all the way from his body in white to his current position. He must be able to see that the current court and Chang'an seem to be in peace, but in fact there are ups and downs. As you can see—"

Speaking of this, the smile on Li Sui's lips did not diminish, but his eyes gradually looked at the person in front of him solemnly and said slowly: "The Chen family of the Tian family, the Taiwei Yang family who controls the military power, and the four generations and three princes are from the background of the heavenly family. The family promotes the Shangguan family who intends to contain the Yang family, and the relationships between all parties are intertwined, and you, the Yuling King, were the only ones who did not get the slightest trace in such a muddy water."

Once upon a time——

At this moment, aware of the sudden change in the voice of the girl in front of him, Zhao Yi has gradually understood Li Sui's meaning, and this one was used ingeniously in the past.

Taking the slight changes in Zhao Yi's eyes into his eyes, Li Sui looked serious, but his words gradually softened a lot, but there was no meaning in the words.

"But since the day of my birthday banquet in Huaelou, everything has changed, hasn't it?"

While speaking, Li Sui stretched out his hand to the teacup in front of him, looked down at the biyingying hot tea in the cup, felt the warm temperature of his palm and fingertips, gently lifted it up to take a sip, then calmly looked at the tea in front of him Humanity: "King Yuling, who has always been indifferent to the Chang'an court and ignored the forces of all parties, would actually help the Yang family eradicate the forces of the former Wuwei General Zheng and the former Concubine Zheng Shu. Just this move is enough to make the Yang family contend those who are suspicious."

Speaking of this, Li Sui spoke slowly, looked at the calm Zhao Yi in front of him, but just met Zhao Yi's eyes, although the two did not speak, but many words did not need to come out, since the ups and downs It is enough to understand in the eyes.

Li Sui knew in his heart that, as she just said, Zhao Yi was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight and kill, but a man with troops on the frontier. A politician who has won many times and is able to handle the current situation with ease.

How did he not know that the previous assassination in Huae Xianghui Building was done by the Emperor relying on Zheng?I don't know that it seems to be provoked by the Zheng family, but it is actually the beginning of the struggle between the emperor and the Yang family.

Li Sui looked at the person in front of him, and a friendly smile gradually flashed across his eyes, so he knew that he had already made a choice.

The Tian family's Chen family is already sailing on a hidden reef. Although the Shangguan family has the support of the Chen family and holds the hearts of the courtiers, but lacks military power, the Yang family is different.

Such a situation of checks and balances will not last forever, and all the previous signs have indicated that this situation is on the verge of breaking through. At that time, one of the three parties is destined to be destroyed, or even two parties will be destroyed.

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil.

No matter whether it is Chen's victory, or Yang's and Shangguan's victory, they will not allow a person who has never won over for him and has a large army in his hand to be used by him.

When the day is unified, once the people in the seat break the crisis of checks and balances in front of them, withdraw their minds, and come to their senses, then Zhao Yi will be suspected and oppressed even if he is in the Western Regions, even if he is in a farther place. The dead die.

Since ancient times, there are so many loyal ministers and good generals, and how many of them can achieve a good start and a good end?

Therefore, in the past, not standing in line was for self-protection, in order to protect himself from any attack from any party, Zhao Yi could choose to stay far away in the Western Regions and leave the whirlpool of Chang'an.

But now, Zhao Yi has only two choices.

Either stand on one side, share the results of this final victory, and then seek the way behind.

Either form a faction of its own, sustain a three-party situation, and see who wins in the end.

But judging from Zhao Yi's behavior in his previous life, he is a person who is well aware of his power and position and his own shortcomings. For the three parties in front of him, Zhao Yi's victory is not great.

In terms of background, several generations of emperors of the Chen family have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is an unchangeable fact.In terms of status, the Shangguan family has four generations and three princes, has many disciples, and has the imperial power to rely on, so it dares to confront the Yang family.In terms of military power, the century-old Yang family, except for the Longwu Army and Shence Army who were loyal to the emperor, had been wiped out on the night of the Huaelou assassination. In the hands of Yang Chongyuan, even Hou Jing, Duke of Qin, fought with Yang Chongyuan in the battlefield and was born to death. Therefore, Yang Chongyuan's prestige in the army cannot be underestimated.

So for Zhao Yi today, it is undoubtedly wise to take the road ahead.

Once you take the latter path, it will undoubtedly make everyone fearful and point all the spearheads at yourself, the gain outweighs the loss.

Life is like a game of chess, a mediocre person counts one step at a time, a normal person counts three steps at a time, and a wise man takes ten steps at a time.

and so--

Zhao Yicai secretly conspired with Yang Chongyuan when everyone was unprepared, and played a vital role in Yang Chongyuan's comeback against the wind.

Even though, knowing that this trip would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, Shangguan's counterattack.

Because this is his choice.

He saw the current situation clearly, knew that Yang Chongyuan had a great chance of winning in this struggle, and also knew that because of Yang Chongyuan's kindness and fortune in promoting him back then, and the friendship between Yang Chongyuan and the Qin Duke Hou Jing who was also a teacher and friend to him. As long as he can help Yang Chongyuan when he needs it the most, it is enough for Yang Chongyuan to see his determination to cooperate.

The phoenix rests on the phoenix tree. If Zhao Yi is the phoenix soaring to the sky, the tree that can inhabit him must be Yang Chongyuan.

All this is not that she exaggerates Yang Chongyuan's ability, but that although Emperor Yuancheng has the heart to govern the world, he has no means to control it, and Shangguan is good at tricks and tricks in the court, but he has no tolerance for others.

"Every step of King Yuling's thinking is absolutely correct, let Yongning admire him."

Hearing Li Sui's praise, Zhao Yi's eyes were calm, but he could hear what was said later that was the most important thing today.

"That's why I dare to make an alliance with you, and take this marriage as my sincerity—"

At the end of the speech, looking at the girl's sincere eyes and listening to the word "sincerity", Zhao Yi completely understood without needing to say anything.He knows very well, or everyone in the world knows that Princess Yongning in front of him is different from ordinary daughters, and his one-piece marriage with her is not just a good relationship between the two families, because standing behind her is the Li family, the head of the family back then, It's Li Zhang, the Taiwei's wife Li, and even the future helm of the Yang family.

So her sincerity really surprised him.
