After seeing the decision of King Chu, both Jingyang and Zhaozhong were stunned for a moment.

In their opinion, the King of Chu should not appoint other candidates, so the two of them worked so hard to compete for this position. However, now they never expected that the King of Chu would hand over the position of Ling Yin to Li Yuan.

After a brief silence, Jing Yang suddenly spoke.

"The king's decision is very good, and the old minister has no opinion at all."

For Jing Yang, he has actually thought it through now. If this continues, the competition with Zhao Zhong will definitely not come to an end.

Not only that, it is also possible that Zhao Zhong has found a bargain and has really won the position of Ling Yin.

From this perspective, Li Yuan's position as the Lingyin is the second best choice besides Jing Yang himself.

First of all, Li Yuan was very trusted by the King of Chu, so he was able to maintain a neutral position, which is predictable.

Secondly, Li Yuan’s friendship betrayed Chunshenjun, so it will definitely be regarded as a traitor by the people on Chunshenjun’s side.

In this way, although Li Yuan became Ling Yin, this Ling Yin actually did not have any real capable personnel to provide him with power support. He belonged to the kind of Ling Yin who was easier to control.

The last and most important point is that Jingyang had already made some kindness to Li Yuan before. I believe that on this basis, Li Yuan's chance of cooperating with Jing Yang in the future should be much higher than that of cooperating with Zhao Zhong.

After hearing Jing Yang's words, Zhao Zhong also showed an unexpected expression on his face, but he immediately understood Jing Yang's thoughts, so he also spoke: "The old minister also agreed to Lord Li Yuan as the imperial court."

From Zhao Zhong's perspective, his ideas are actually similar to Jing Yang. He thinks that as long as the other party cannot become Ling Yin, it is acceptable to send a neutral person to do it.

Neither of these two people said anything, so naturally the matter was settled.

Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed in his heart, so he stood up and respectfully bowed to the King of Chu.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely devote myself to the king and Chu State and devote myself to the death!"

For you, this was also his long-term wish. He had always longed to replace Chunshenjun and become the prime minister of Chu, but many times he also knew that this was actually just an unrealistic dream.

But today this dream has come true under such circumstances.

After this court meeting, a group of ministers from Chu naturally came up and congratulated Li Yuan on his successful becoming the prime minister of Chu.

All kinds of flattery came in a flood, surrounding Li Yuan like a tide, making Li Yuan feel light and she seemed to be unable to touch the ground when walking.

I finally came to my senses and it was almost half an hour later.

Li Yuan smiled and said to everyone present: "I want to thank you for your support here. I hope you can come to my house to have a few drinks with me tonight, but don't refuse!"

The ministers of Chu who were present laughed and said in unison that since it was Lord Ling Yin's treat, we subordinates will definitely be present.

After Li Yuan left the palace and got on the carriage, he still felt that all this was so dreamy and unreal, as if he was having a dream and could wake up at any time.

Li Yuan calmed down and said to his coachman: "Don't go home first, go to the Zhao State Envoy first."

At the Zhao State Embassy Inn, Li Yuan met Li Si again.

Li Si laughed as soon as he saw Li Yuan and congratulated Li Yuan.

"I heard that Lord Li Yuan has just become the Ling Yin, which is really gratifying."

Li Yuan is no longer surprised by Master Li's ability to quickly detect the secrets in Chu. He smiled on his face and said to Li Si: "I thought that this time I really got it for Brother Li Si. The king really didn't consider other candidates at all. He directly chose me to inherit the official position of Ling Yin."

Li Si smiled and said to Li Yuan, "Actually, these are all things that can be guessed in advance, but you are a fan of the authorities, so you are not sure about this."

But no matter what, this time our promise to you has been successfully completed, right?"

Li Yuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this and said to Li Si: "It's indeed completed successfully.

This time I really want to thank Wu Xinjun and you. If you don’t have your help, I really wouldn’t have become this Lingyin.”

Li Si smiled slightly and said to Li Yuan: "Actually, both of us are mutually beneficial in this matter, so there is nothing to thank for too much.

But, next time when Brother Li Yuan, you are in charge of Chu State, I still hope that our two countries can have more peace. After all, peace is what everyone wants to see most, right?"

After hearing Li Si's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but want to complain.

I know that for more than 10 years, Zhao State was the most willing country in the Chinese world to launch a war. Now, the words that hope for peace are actually spoken from an envoy of Zhao State, which is very awkward.

But no matter what, Li Si just helped Li Yuan, so of course Li Yuan could not say such words directly to refute Li Si's face.

Li Yuan smiled and said to Li Si: "This is indeed the reason. I hope that there will be more peace between you and us in the future. After all, for the people of the two countries, the war between us has broken out too many times. This is definitely not in the interests of our respective countries, isn't it?"

The two of them smiled at each other, but it is unknown what they thought in their hearts.

Li Si suddenly spoke to Li Yuan and said, "I wonder what you think about Chunshenjun, Brother Li Yuan?"

After hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Si with some confusion: "I actually have no opinion on him, but since the king has ordered him to be killed, I certainly cannot change it."

Li Si shook his head and said to Li Yuan: "If Brother Li Yuan really thinks that, then he would be a big mistake."

Seeing Li Si say this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel more confused on his face, and he signaled Li Si to continue to answer.

Li Si spoke patiently and analyzed Li Yuan.

In Li Si's opinion, although Li Yuan has now served as the Lingyin, this does not mean that Li Yuan can truly have the same rights and status as Chunshenjun back then.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, Chunshenjun has a large number of disciples and subordinates.

It is precisely because of these people that Chunshen Jun has the power to fight against the three major families.

But Li Yuan is different. Li Yuan can be said to have almost no foundation. Even if he really becomes Ling Yin, he can only be an empty shell, and is an existence that is at will at will by Jing Yang and others.

"This is the real reason why Jingyang can agree so happily to you as Lingyin. Do you understand?"

Li Si just acted directly and told Li Yuan’s biggest disadvantage.

After hearing these words, Li Yuan's brows gradually frowned.

To be honest, Li Yuan only thought at the beginning that as long as he was able to serve as Ling Yin, even if he succeeded, he really never thought about what happened after becoming Ling Yin. After all, it was too far away for him at that time.

But now Li Yuan has indeed become the chief magistrate of Chu, which forced him to start thinking about this issue. No one wants to be a chief magistrate who is undermined, right?

Li Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but speak to Li Si, "Does Brother Li Si have any advice on me in this matter?"

Li Yuan is also quite clever. Since he can't come up with an idea, then just ask Li Si in front of him if there is any good solution, right?

Li Si smiled slightly and said to Li Yuan: "Of course there is a solution, that is, you have to find a way to convince the King of Chu to pardon Chunshen's life."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Looking at Li Yuan's puzzled expression, he was also very kind and tempted, and he told Li Yuan another reason.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If Li Yuan wants to hold this position, he must have his own group of personnel. However, Li Yuan has no articles now, and he may have cultivated such group of personnel in a short period of time, so he can only find ways to see from other places whether he can get a group of personnel.

It is unnecessary to think about it and know that Jingyang or among the three major families, no family could have such a group of people to support Li Yuan. After all, the three major families and Li Yuan are not ally relationships.

But now there are a group of people who are in a state of being arrested because of their boss being arrested. These people are subordinates of Chunshenjun before.

When Li Yuan heard this, he actually understood what Li Si meant and couldn't help but say, "Do you mean I hope that I can develop Chunshenjun's subordinates into my manpower?"

Li Si nodded with a smile and asked Li Yuan back: "Do you have any other better choices besides this group of people?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and couldn't help but say, "They are indeed the best choice, but the problem is that they all think that I betray Chunshenjun, how could he serve me?"

Li Si smiled and said, "One thing we want to be sure is that Chunshen Jun does collude with Zhao State. This is a consensus that all of you Chu people have, isn't it?

If that is the case, you revealed that Chunshenjun is actually making contributions to the State of Chu, loyalty to the king, and not betrayed Chunshenjun. After all, you are not a retainer of Chunshenjun now.

So, as long as you find a way to convince the King of Chu to forgive Chunshenjun, these Chunshenjun's subordinates will feel that you are actually just doing things, not really betray Chunshenjun, and even find a way to save Chunshenjun's life.

In this case, you were already very familiar with them, but now if you convince them a little, they will easily fall under your command.

After all, no matter from which perspective, it is better to do things for those people in Jingyang, isn’t it?”

After listening to Li Si's analysis, Li Yuan suddenly felt that it seemed to make sense.

Most of Chunshenjun's subordinates are very dissatisfied with the three major families, so in the past, they have actually been doing a lot of things to confront the three major families.

Now that the Chunshan Army has fallen, these guys are actually very worried that they will be liquidated by the three major families.

At this time, if Li Yuan can stand up and summon them as a savior, they should easily join Li Yuan and become Li Yuan's power.

In this way, Li Yuan can obtain a familiar and loyal force out of thin air, so he is considered formal in the Chu political arena and can gain a foothold.

After thinking about this, Li Yuan's eyes became completely brighter. He couldn't help but slap his thigh and praise him: "Brother Li Si, your idea is really great. I didn't think of this before.

After I go back, I will do it immediately according to your idea. I am so grateful."

For Li Yuan, Li Si's idea was simply a timely help, completely alleviating the most urgent crisis that Li Yuan is currently.

Li Si looked at Li Yuan and laughed: "These are all small things."

Brother Li Yuan, you are also a very busy person. I won’t keep you today. I will stay in Shouchun City for a few days next. If there is anything, you can come to me to communicate at any time."

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and couldn't help but say, "Is Brother Li Si leaving?"

Li Yuan smiled and showed a heartfelt happy expression for the first time: "Actually, at the beginning, the reason why I came back this time was to complete this matter. Now that the matter has been completely over, it is time for us to say goodbye.

Next, I will go back to Handan to continue working for my family leader, and hope to have a good time with Brother Li Yuan in the future."

Li Yuan felt a little regretful when he heard this, but he nodded with great understanding and said, "Actually, this is the reason. I can fully understand it when people walk to a higher place.

I hope I will continue to have the opportunity to drink and have fun with Brother Li Si in the future, and we will not be drunk and will not return home again!"

After making some polite tricks, Li Yuan finally left.

Looking at Li Yuan's back as he left, Li Si's mouth twitched slightly, and he also smiled.
