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

Chapter 550: Prison Cell Conversation (Part )

Just like Li Shimin favored Shufei alone, but Shufei had no strong external forces to back her up, what was the final result?

First, Sheng Ankang's "vitality was damaged", and then he "could not be cured for a long time". At the critical moment, he was given a dose of medicine by the imperial physician Sun He, and died by accident. When the emperor's favor was not proportional to his family's power in the court.

Death is inevitable. As for how you die, it doesn’t really matter. All you need to do is see the final result.

Hearing this, Yang Ji nodded resolutely.

When Yang Ji's power in the court had not reached a certain level, the higher the treatment his daughter received, the more dangerous it would be.

"If the general wants to achieve such a great achievement, he will not find it on the battlefield. There is no greater achievement in the world than saving the emperor." Li Yan looked at Yang Ji's puzzled face and guessed that the other party was thinking, doesn't it count now?

So Li Yan said helplessly: "General, you saved me today, but you only saved an ordinary prince, not even a crown prince, let alone saving the emperor?"

"So, the general needs a feat that can silence the people and convince all the ministers and officials to support him. If you want to achieve this feat, you have to make sacrifices and endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure. It will take a long time."

"Perhaps ten years, twenty years, or even longer. General, would you accept that?"

Yang Ji's mouth became dry and his heart trembled as he listened. He had never been so close to the core of imperial power. The authority and momentum of casually talking about the emperor and his officials, power struggles, and the ownership of the world stimulated Yang Ji's blood to boil and his scalp tingled. He almost couldn't suppress this aura.

But looking at the ten-year-old Li Yan opposite, he was calm and measured, talking freely, with a calm look in his eyes. Being so close, Yang Ji could feel his breathing as heavy as a cow's, so heavy that it could almost make the hair in front of the other person's clothes sway slightly.

But the other party was as calm as water, even his breathing did not change at all.

The domineering attitude and magnanimity, as if the other party could easily hold it up even if the sky fell, once again deeply impressed Yang Ji.

He is simply a natural born emperor!
In the past, Yang Ji had only heard others say that emperors had a destiny, but he didn’t really believe it. There was even a moment when, standing in front of tens of thousands of troops, he had some extravagant fantasies.

But when he saw Li Chengqian, who was only ten years old, Yang Ji was convinced.

It was not until this moment that Yang Ji let go of the last bit of worry in his heart, and was completely convinced by Li Yan. He completely bowed down at the other's feet, wholeheartedly convinced, and did not dare to have the slightest bit of disloyalty.

"Master, please give me your orders. No matter how much suffering I have to endure or how long I have to wait, Yang Ji will wait until I die without any regrets."

Li Yan stared at the other person without blinking. Although Yang Ji's words this time were very plain and without any passion or swearing to the heavens, nor did he say anything threatening people, Li Yan could feel it from the other person's determined look.

This time, he was more serious than the previous ones.

Li Yan nodded slightly. To arrange for Yang Ji to play a game of Infernal Affairs against Li Shimin, it would not work without in-depth exchanges and communication. Only by making everything clear, and with the interests of Yang Ji's daughter and the future hopes of the family, could Yang Ji, a mediocre leading general, complete this difficult task.

Yang Ji doesn’t know yet that he is about to carry out a long-term undercover plan!

"What I said just now is that I can give you the future, but father can give you the present. That's right."

Li Yan explained: "The current emperor is my father. Only if a general is loyal to my father can he be trusted and reused by my father, and be promoted to an important position. Only then will he have the opportunity to play a decisive role when my brothers and I meet with swords and guns in the future."

When Yang Ji heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it was.

The deep meaning in the other party's words just now almost scared Yang Ji. If he were asked to deal with Li Shimin and replay the Xuanwu Gate Incident with Li Yan, Yang Ji would still be a little nervous.

It's nothing else but the overwhelming might that Li Shimin brought to the people of the world when he conquered most of the Tang Dynasty and killed his brother and forced his father to surrender at Xuanwu Gate. It can be said that it is engraved deep in the souls of people of that era.

Therefore, the three words "Li Shimin" in this era are no less important than the reincarnation of Yama. They are enough to prevent heroes like Luo Yi and Jie Li from having the ambition to fight him to the death. Otherwise, why was it that when they were fighting at Bianqiao, Li Shimin was able to intimidate the Turks with just a few cavalrymen?

Jie Li did not dare to cross the Wei River with his army to attack Chang'an City, because in Jie Li's eyes, Li Shimin was much more cruel and terrifying than himself. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Such a ruthless person makes people tremble with fear. Even if the enemy does not respect him, they will be afraid of him. So in the end, Jie Li chose to retreat without face. Let's change someone, let Li Yuan try, Jie Li will teach him a lesson in minutes.
This is Li Shimin, a brave man who dominated an era and made countless foreign races throw down their armor and weapons and beg for mercy on their knees. He was supported by all races to be the Heavenly Khan. Don't doubt his military power. The title of Heavenly Khan is not something that can be obtained by marrying two daughters and giving some books.

In the mind of an ordinary general like Yang Ji, the three words "Li Shimin" were like the six-word mantra of Tathagata Buddha that suppressed Sun Houzi. They were naturally endowed with a terrifying power that was enough to make his hands and feet go weak and prevent him from having any thought of resistance.

Now hearing what Li Yan said, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't have to face Li Shimin and deal with those royal descendants, wasn't this his job?

Yuchi Jingde, Li Shimin's subordinate, dared to shoot and kill Li Yuanji, so he himself dared to do it to Li Ke. What was there to be afraid of?
After following Luo Yi in resisting the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ji felt that he had become much braver. He didn't dare to face Li Shimin directly, but as long as not all of his sons were as evil as Li Yan, Yang Ji would not be afraid of them.

"Don't worry, my lord. If those people dare to compete with you, Yang Ji will not be inferior to Yuchi Jingde. I will fight for you, bravely charge into battle and sweep away all those who dare to defy me." Yang Ji's face turned cold, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, he shone his fist as big as a sand bowl, and said fiercely, making Li Yan have no doubt about his determination at all.

"Well, the general is mighty!"

Li Yan couldn't help but praise him, with a look of deep appreciation on his face.

Yang Ji felt warm in his heart, and he looked at Li Yan with admiration, as if he had been recognized and honored by his master.

Li Yan nodded slightly. Yang Ji's subconscious behavior showed that the relationship between the two had become initially solid, so he could proceed to the next step.

"Youth Father is very wary of the prince secretly forming alliances with military commanders, especially those military commanders who marry their daughters to the princes. Once such a situation occurs, Your Majesty Father will definitely take action to deal with one of them and break up this alliance."

Well.
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized, isn't it?
Li Shimin relied on his trusted generals to accomplish such earth-shaking events. How could he not be on guard against his sons following suit?
If this is the case, he will definitely stop it. On one side is his son, and on the other side is a general who can be replaced at any time. Who should he deal with? Killing you, Yang Ji, there are thousands of Yang Ji.

Even if he is not killed, it would be easy to strip him of his military power and exile him to a certain place.

Thinking about this, Yang Ji suddenly understood the deep meaning behind Li Yan's asking him to keep his relationship with the Wen family secret and not giving his daughter a title for the time being. Once they were confirmed as the prince's wife and concubine, their family backgrounds would definitely have to be investigated, so that his relationship with the Wen family could not be concealed.

But it’s different for a maid. No one cares about your background.

After figuring it out, Yang Ji was even more impressed. He was indeed a born dragon. He thought much more carefully than himself. His thinking was so meticulous. He could still stay calm and grasp the overall situation in such a dangerous enemy nest. He was definitely not an easy person to deal with!

Yang Ji felt more confident.

Following such a person, it would be hard not to rise to prominence. At this moment, Yang Ji felt an extremely excited sense of pride. It was such a great fortune! It was a great fortune for Yang Ji to meet such a person in trouble. It was simply a great fortune bestowed by God on my Yang family!
Li Yan said solemnly, "From today on, the relationship between the general and I is only known to the two of us. Once you leave this warehouse, the general will forget all of this for the time being and follow the emperor wholeheartedly from now on."

"Tell yourself from the bottom of your heart that you have only one master, and that is the emperor."

"Father is a very shrewd and meticulous person. He will constantly test you. If he is not 100% sure of your loyalty, he will not trust you. You can only hide the truth from Father if you can be consistent in what you say and do."

"You are my most important trump card, and I will not need you to do anything in the short term, at least within ten years. Just treat me as an ordinary prince, neither getting too close to me nor keeping away from me. Besides myself, I will not let any of my trusted followers come to you to convey instructions."

"If there really comes a day when you really can't spare the time, I will let your daughter come to you. Then, you will know what to do."

Li Yan knew that his future Chief of the Eastern Palace Guards, Heng Lian, was Li Shiming's eyes and ears. Damn it, with this kind of tricks, even if Li Chengqian had great abilities, he couldn't turn the tables. Now, he had no choice but to use the tricks from Infernal Affairs.

At the very beginning, a nail was driven into Li Shimin's side without anyone knowing about it.

Of course, the most important thing is to hide it from Li Shimin. If he finds out, it will be useless no matter how many burials are buried. In the original drama, when Hou Junji was preparing to rebel and gathered his confidants for the first mobilization meeting, Li Shimin knew about it. What the hell is going on?

However, in the early stages, Li Shimin would not be too wary of Li Yan.
