The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 549: Prison Cell Conversation (Part )

Now it was just the final push, Yang Ji simply told the whole story, and finally looked at Li Yan expectantly: "Your Majesty, Yang Ji's heart is clear as day and moon, and unlike Lu Buwei, I have absolutely no intention of plotting against you."

"Although my daughter has been without a father since she was a child, she has been carefully taken care of by the Wen family. Not only is she naturally beautiful, pretty, and well-mannered, but she is also well-educated, well-mannered, and very sensible and obedient."

Yang Ji was very excited and tried his best to promote his precious daughter: "The Wen family also values ​​her very much. Since she was old enough to understand, they have invited various private school teachers to teach her carefully. Although this child is only twelve years old, she has dabbled in all classics, history, and literature, and knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"I usually massage your shoulders and back, serve you tea and water, and help you light the lamp and grind ink when you are studying, and fan you to drive away mosquitoes. I am a person who can be ordered around. When I grow up, if you find me pleasing to your eyes, you can let me make your bed and serve you. That will be a great blessing for her."

After saying that, he looked at Li Yan eagerly with a pleading look on his face.

Li Yan was speechless after hearing these words. He felt eager to do something. The scene described by Yang Ji made Li Yan immersed in it unconsciously, and it made a lot of sense!
Yes!

More than ten years have passed since Li Yan left Wujiandao. He has not enjoyed the welfare and treatment of feudal society for a long time. As a prince, and soon to be the crown prince of a country, accepting Yang Ji's daughter can not only satisfy his own selfish desires, but also
Well.
No, it is my personal emotional sustenance, and it can also make Yang Ji loyal to me wholeheartedly. It is the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

It was indeed a very appropriate offer. I would feel embarrassed not to accept it. Moreover, with this relationship, I was no longer afraid that Yang Ji would not work hard for me.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of Yang Ji in front of him, he was not so fawning even when he was begging to become his disciple just now.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Yan slowly nodded.

Yang Ji was overjoyed, and stood up ecstatically. He saluted Li Yan again, and said with a trembling voice: "Thank you very much, my lord, for your mercy. Yang Ji will work like a cow or a horse in this life, and will repay your kindness to me even if I die."

What kind of words are you talking about?

Li Yan looked unhappy and a little embarrassed. It seemed like he was doing a great favor by accepting someone's underage daughter. The father wanted to prostrate himself in gratitude.

After helping Yang Ji up, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had become closer.

is not that right?

In just two days, the two of them went from being enemies, not even friends, to being master and servant, and now there is an additional layer of 'father-in-law and son-in-law' relationship. Even when Yang Ji looked at Li Yan again, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the other party had become much more intimate.

Marriage is indeed the fastest and most effective way to build relationships and form an alliance of interests.

Li Yan sighed to himself, it seems that in order to develop power and complete system tasks in the future, I don't know how many sacrifices I will have to make. Kangxi once said that this country belongs to me, but no one dared to say the other meaning, that is, I also belong to the country.

For the sake of the country, the court, and the people, Li Yan felt that when it was time to sacrifice, he had to do so without hesitation. Since he had enjoyed power, he had to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. This was his glorious mission!
'Hey hey hey'

"Your Majesty, what do you think should be done next?"

Yang Ji acted like a subordinate. Since he had staked his future fortune and life on Li Yan, he had to listen to his orders on major issues. This was determined by the essential master-servant relationship that had already been established between the two parties.

Of course, if Li Yan had no idea and asked for his opinion, Yang Ji would throw out his own idea for him to adopt, and there would be no problem. Luo Yi was a man with his own ideas, and Yang Ji had figured out how to get along with such a superior over time.

Li Yan was stunned. He walked slowly in the small cell and began to pace back and forth, thinking.

Although he had prepared himself mentally to persuade Yang Ji to rebel, things changed too quickly. For a moment, Li Yan had not thought about how to manage the situation next. After all, this was different from the temporary use that Li Yan had planned before.

With Yang Ji's daughter as a bond, the two of them have the possibility of long-term cooperation and forming a strategic alliance.

In this era, the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is very reliable. In the original play, Hou Junji betrayed Li Shimin, who had followed him all his life, for the sake of his daughter, which shows how reliable this relationship is. If Yang Ji can be like Hou Junji, then at the critical moment, he will have another trump card.

If it was handled well, it would be a hidden card, unlike Hou Junji, which was exposed in the open. Li Shimin had already been prepared for it.

Now that the relationship with Yang Ji is firmly secured, it has the potential to develop into a trump card.

Thinking of this, Li Yan suddenly raised his head and asked with a gleaming gaze: "Yang Ji, how many people know the true relationship between you and the Wen Mansion?"

Yang Ji was stunned, then said a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, my first wife's family is quite powerful in the Jingzhou army. If they find out about Miss Wen's affairs, they will definitely come to their door, which will be disadvantageous to them." "So I have been hiding it. At present, only the master and mistress of the Wen family know about it. Even my two cheap brothers-in-law and the child himself don't know."

When Li Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Yang Ji to sit down again, and said a little excitedly: "In this case, you still have to keep this relationship secret, and even more secret than before."

Seeing Yang Ji's puzzled expression, Li Yan smiled slightly, looked at him meaningfully and explained: "I can give you a future, but father can give you the present."

Well.
When Yang Ji heard this, he thought Li Yan was doubting, and with an anxious look on his face, he quickly pointed to the sky and swore that he only recognized Li Yan and would never regret it until his death.

After Yang Ji couldn't wait to say a few words, Li Yan reached out again and held Yang Ji's hand that had sworn, and said sincerely: "Cheng Qian naturally understands the general's heart."

"But at present, I am just a prince. Even if I return to Chang'an in the future and am appointed as the crown prince by my father, the emperor will not be able to stop me."

Li Yan said solemnly, "But what about the crown prince? Since he can be appointed or deposed, it is just a matter of the emperor's words. There is no need to take it too seriously. In Chang'an City, there is only one true master, and that is father."

Yang Ji was stunned. What Li Yan said left him speechless and unable to refute. After all, wasn't the previous prince killed by Li Shimin less than two months ago, his body was still warm!

The lesson is in front of us, and the blood is dripping.
"Does the general still dare to bet his life and property on Cheng Qian now?"

Seeing that Li Yan was looking at him with a certain amusement, Yang Ji did not hesitate: "Yang Ji swears on the spirits of my ancestors in heaven and the well-being of future generations that this heart will not change until death!"

He knew that if he hesitated at this moment, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Who would trust a subordinate who abandoned him at a critical moment of life and death?
"Okay, I believe the general."

Li Yan also said resolutely: "I, Li Chengqian, also promise that in this life, if the general does not betray me, I will not betray the general. If I break my oath, the emperor will not bless me."

Well.
Yang Ji was horrified and didn't dare to kneel any longer. He looked panicked and trembling all over. He quickly took two steps back, knelt down again, and knocked his head to the ground, not daring to look up.

In Yang Ji's heart, Li Yan was a royal child, a son of a noble family, and would become the emperor in the future. It was definitely a great favor for him to give him a general as his assistant, make such a promise, and even use his own imperial fortune to guarantee it.

Yang Ji also believed that those who could become emperors were favored by God. They could do anything that was against the will of Heaven, but they dared not deceive Heaven. No emperor dared to lie in front of God and joke about his own imperial destiny.

Could it be that they just want to deceive and use a minor general like me? What virtue and ability do I have to deserve being teased by others at the risk of offending God?
Yang Ji knew even more that Li Yan's promise was more important than his daughter giving birth to a prince for him.

Therefore, Yang Ji could only prostrate himself, ashamed and unable to accept the
Li Yan helped Yang Ji up, and the two sat down again. Li Yan said sternly, "General, do you know why my mother, Empress Zhangsun, could be the empress?"

This question made Yang Ji panic again. Those were people from heaven. How could he dare to speculate about such a question?

Li Yan did not embarrass Yang Ji, but said to himself: "It is because my uncle Changsun Wuji and his family have been of great help to my father. Changsun Wuji himself planned the Xuanwu Gate Incident and risked the destruction of his family to help my father ascend the throne."

"Zhangsun Wuji has the merit of supporting and protecting the emperor, and is even listed as the first meritorious official of Xuanwu Gate. With the merits and power of my husband's family, my mother can firmly sit on the throne of empress."

Li Yan stared at Yang Ji calmly: "I won't give your daughter a name for the time being, but I can treat her as my most intimate girl. If there really comes a day like that, I will definitely give her a proper name, a name that will allow your Yang family to prosper together with the country."

"There is no upper limit to this title."

"As for what position she can reach, I don't have the final say. The general has the final say. How high a position she can hold depends on how much merit you have. If the general wants all officials and the world to be convinced, he needs enough merit to pave the way for her to ascend to a high position. Otherwise, no matter how high I give her, she will not be able to hold on to her position. Do you understand, general?"

Li Yan was afraid that the other party would not understand what he meant, so he spoke very clearly.

Yang Ji was not a low-class commoner who had never seen the world. His daughter's status in the harem depended on the strength of her mother's family.

Yang Ji also understood this point clearly. He knew he had to rely on himself.

The emperor can only treat his concubines fairly. The status of those ladies in the harem still depends on the strength of their respective families. It is not reliable to rely solely on the emperor's favor.
