"King Bin, I am worried about the king's safety, so I specially arranged it. Don't think too much..."

"Ali is young, has little experience, and doesn't understand many things. You, the uncle, have to help you more..."

"We are mother, son, orphan and widowed, and we are easily bullied and can only rely on you to shelter from the wind and rain..."

In the study, Li was talking, Yuwen Wen listened silently, Yuwen Li sat silently, and Li Yunxin and other officials sat aside without saying a word.

Li, who had just become a vain, has not yet recovered from the great grief of losing his husband. Now he meets his younger brother-in-law Yuwen Wen not to discuss the funeral, but to cure the aftermath.

She said so much about it, and the main meaning was to ask the elder Yuwen Wen, the assistant of his nephew Yuwen Li.

Assist Yu Wenli and firmly sit in the position of Prime Minister.

Yuwen Wen was a little surprised by this.

He had already made it very obvious to Li Yunxin and other assistant officials of the Prime Minister's Office. On two ways, either follow him or follow Yu Wenming. Now his sister-in-law Li is asking him to assist his nephew. What is this?

Li Yunxin didn't explain his meaning clearly? Or did the assistants have made up their minds to support the prince and then ask Li to give him a courtesy first and then a soldier?

So, next year, today, I can eat cold pork?

Yuwen Wen thought so, looking at his sister-in-law, his mind became active.

Of course, he was not crazy about his sister-in-law and was thinking about how he would be a villain.

At this moment, Li Yunxin and others were present but did not speak, as if they were bystanders. This attitude was very subtle. Yuwen Wen judged that Li Yunxin and others' positions had loosened. Although it seemed that they were maintaining neutrality now, they actually showed their attitude.

No one wants to do evil people. After all, Yu Wenming just passed away. If he wants to take the position of prime minister, he will stand up and be a villain who bullies the orphan and widowed mother.

Now, looking at Li, who was almost begging him, Yuwen Wen suddenly felt a little dazed.

Poor parents in the world, how can parents not think about their sons, and instead give their family business to their relatives?

Even though they know that their son may not be able to keep the family business, parents still strive for the little bit of slim hope.

Looking from the perspective of others, Yuwen Wen felt that if he had "dead", Yuchi Chifan would not be willing to give up the foundation he created to others, and his son would be left empty.

Li didn't want to turn against each other, and he didn't want his son to suffer grievance, so he wanted to give Yuwen Wen the favor of Zhou Gongdan (Ji Dan) and assisted King Wu of Zhou (Ji Fa) King Ji Song.

However, this is unrealistic. There is no compromise on fighting for the country.

"Sister-in-law." Yuwen Wen interrupted Li's nagging, and saw everyone looking at him, and continued, "When I was in Jiankang, I heard something..."

Since he called Li the "sister-in-law", he claimed that he was useless. What he said was a past event of Chen State.

That year, Emperor Chen Lu was in poor health. Seeing that the prince Chen Bozong was young and weak, and seeing his younger brother, King Ancheng Chen Xu was so angry that he was worried. So he spoke out and said that the prince could not bear the heavy responsibility and planned to end up with his brother in the future.

When Chen Xu heard this, he knelt down, cried bitterly, and refused resolutely.

Another minister pleaded for Chen Xu, saying that in the future, King An Cheng would do his best to succeed to the throne as Zhou Gong assisted the government.

Later, Chen Xu died and Chen Bozong succeeded to the throne. Not long after, Chen Xu seized the throne of his nephew, and Chen Bozong died untimely.

When Li heard this, his expression changed. Although she was a woman, she was not stupid. She could hear what Yuwen Wen meant.

Yuwen Wen's meaning is already very direct. He will not falsely refuse or make promises, but will directly act as the Prime Minister and not give it to him, so there is nothing to say.

Although this was an expected result, Li was still lucky. She looked at Li Yunxin and others, hoping that everyone would come out to "speak fairness", but no one said anything.

Except for Li Yunxin, everyone else was avoiding her gaze, which made Li's heart skip and sadness come from his heart.

If you don’t express your opinion at this time, it seems like Zhongli, but in fact you have already expressed your opinion.

The king just left, you, you...

Li's heart was as if he was shattering, and the silent Yu Wenli also realized that something was wrong. Everyone here should have spoken, but they all looked like mutes. He looked at the familiar faces and suddenly felt that he didn't recognize these people anymore.

The young Yuwen Li finally realized the cruel reality: the uncle is so strong that no one dares to fight against him, and he and his mother are orphans and widows who have no help.

My father and uncle are the two high mountains he admires. He has been working hard to become a mountain higher than these two mountains. Now that my father is gone, my uncle has become his opponent.

An unbeatable opponent.

"Sister-in-law, I can take on the burden left by my brother." Yuwen Wen opened the right way and saw Li looking at him blankly, then covered his mouth with his hands, and he looked at Yuwen Li.

"Where is Ali, you can tell me."

Yu Wenli looked up at Yu Wenwen after hearing this, clenched his hands into fists, and did not avoid his uncle's gaze. After a moment, he said stubbornly: "I can do it too!"

Li Yunxin, who was standing beside him, looked at the uncle and nephew talking, and his face turned dizzy, feeling uncomfortable, and the other officials were the same.

"Ali has been working hard and his ability is getting bigger and bigger. Uncle is very happy to be so ambitious." Yuwen Wen nodded, and then changed his subject: "But he can't compare to uncle! What do you think!"

"I...I..." Yu Wenli, who was sitting upright, grabbed his knees and tried his best to control his emotions. Tears were rolling in his eyes. Li cried when he saw this.

This scene is indeed sad. The vassal who just died of his husband was bullied by his brother-in-law, but no one helped him.

But, this is reality.

One day the emperor is the minister, and the new king may not trust the confidant of the late emperor, and the confidants who are loyal to the late emperor may not be loyal to the new king who succeeded the throne.

This is true for the royal family, and so is ordinary wealthy families. Yu Wenli succeeded as prime minister and had his own team. Sooner or later, he would gain a foothold and value his confidant, so that the elderly could stand aside.

Anyway, I have to stand aside in the future, so why bother to die?

Yuwen Wen used new weapons to intimidate and strengthen the situation and made everyone choose one. It is already commendable that these people choose to remain neutral.

After all, loyal ministers and righteous men who would rather betray are the minority. Knowing the current affairs is the norm in the officialdom. This is also one of the reliances for Yuwen Wen to take risks. Now it seems that he is right.

"You are not strong enough." Yuwen Wen finished speaking, stood up and said, "So, nothing can be protected!"

He had no time to procrastinate and wanted to control the emperor as soon as possible. Since Li Yunxin and others agreed that he had attacked him, it meant that the timing was similar.

"Sister-in-law, please feel sorry for me. I want to enter the palace to accompany the emperor and leave first." Yuwen Wen finished speaking, saluted Li, turned around, and looked at Li Yunxin: "Mr. Li, can you send someone to lead the way?"

Li Yunxin exchanged glances with his colleagues, then looked at the miserable orphan and widowed mother, sighed and nodded silently.

Yuwen Wen walked out of the study room and was about to walk down the steps when he heard crying sounds from the room behind him.

There are two crying sounds, one is a man and one is a woman.

He continued down the steps and walked outward.

In the face of power struggle, the orphan and widowed mother are destined to be bullied, and Yuwen Wen suddenly felt a little sad about this.
