Li Qing could tell at a glance that Liu Yan was definitely not a lie person. Although he didn't understand what he said, the expression on his face had long been betrayed his heart.

"Don't understand? You guys have a lot of thoughts. Now there are only me and you here. If you really don't understand, wouldn't the expression on your face be disgusted with me?"

Obviously, Liu Yan also knew about his own fault. When he heard Li Yan's words, he sighed deeply. Obviously, it meant that Li Yan had seen through him.

"Okay, don't hesitate like a woman. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What do you have to say to me? Is this person okay? Who can do it if he doesn't do it? The prime minister is my right-hand man. If anyone doesn't tell me the truth in this matter, I will definitely not be able to forgive him!"

Just by fooling and scaring, Liu Yan finally changed his expression, but he did not say to Du Hongjian directly, but sighed: "Your Majesty led troops abroad for many years, and did give almost everything for the Tang Dynasty. However, Your Majesty had never been to the Tang Dynasty's court. I'm afraid he didn't know how deep the Tang Dynasty's court was. So many officials recommended Du Hongjian, but it was not because Du Hongjian's ability was outstanding!"

Li Yanxin said that even if Liu Yan has a personality like this, he seems to be fearless and holds an important position as Jingzhao Yin. It would be so difficult to tell the truth to himself, let alone others.

Before, Han Zemu just asked him to propose that Zhang Xun would make him feel embarrassed. Li Qing knew that according to this, he probably really wanted to meet his previous ideas and requirements in his court and had to undergo a major change of blood.

"Since Your Majesty says that, I will no longer hide it. I don't want to regret it when I say this from my mouth, Liu Yan! Your Majesty may not know that the reason why these people recommend Du Hongjian is probably not because they really think that Du Hongjian is really good, but because Yuan Zai asked them to do this!"

"Yuan Zai? Yuan Zai is already the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, and he is also in charge of the Sima and the Envoy of the World's Army. Why did he try every means to make Du Hongjian the prime minister?"

Liu Yan looked up at Li Yan, who looked confused and sighed. The meaning of this was already very obvious, that is, although Li Yan was already an emperor, he was still a little too young.

"Your Majesty is afraid that you don't know that Yuan Zai is the biggest powerful minister in the court today. Although he holds multiple positions, he is not interested in doing things. Almost all his energy has been put on playing with power. Except for the old prime minister Miao Jinqing who just retired and returned home, Wang Jin has already followed him by orders. Now his position in the Tang Dynasty cannot catch up with Li Linfu of the previous dynasty, if he continues to develop like this, it will be almost the same!"

Liu Yan said this ruthless thing. If he was not Li Yan but Li Heng's words, he would probably have been unable to save his position as Jingzhao Yin.

But Li Qing showed no sign of anger. Some of his previous performances were just trying to force out Liu Yan's true nature. Now, it is obvious that Li Qing's goal has been achieved.

"The Emperor of Yuan Zai still trusts this person very much. How could he do this?"

"Not bad! When I was just appointed as Jingzhao Yin, I wrote a memorial to report the canal transportation around Chang'an City. However, because the canal transportation was complicated and trivial, heavy load, and he was worried that it would damage his reputation, he gave it to me to operate it. All other things, if it was a little troublesome, he entrusted others, and he focused on controlling the officials in the court. I was not controlled by him. One reason was that my mind was not on fighting for fame and fortune. Another point was that my position was Jingzhao Yin, which was still relatively important to Chang'an City. Without me, Chang'an City would not be in its current state, so it would not be difficult for me."

Speaking of this, Liu Yan smiled mockingly, obviously feeling a little ashamed that he was unable to change anything in such a situation.

"If I say that I already know all the things you said, I pretended not to know anything about it before, just to test you, what would you say?"

Seeing Liu Yan's behavior, Li Qing immediately put away the silly son-like smile of the landlord's family that had been hanging on his face before, and asked clearly word by word.

After hearing this, Liu Yan's previous self-deprecating laughter immediately closed. He looked at Li Qing for a long time before he put away his expression and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After hearing this, Li Neng almost slapped the table and thought to himself that now you say I am wise, isn’t that the same as saying that my performance was stupid before?

But now it is obviously not the time to care about this. If Liu Yan really had such a high emotional intelligence, he might have been wearing a pair of pants with Yuan Zai long ago.

"Okay, don't be in trouble. You care about the canal transportation. You are a person who can do things for the Tang Dynasty and the people. I feel at ease with you. I already know the candidate for the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice. It is Zhang Xun who has been following me in the south and north for many years. However, according to the current situation in the court, once Zhang Xun's name appears in the court tomorrow, all officials will probably oppose it. Naturally, I can't argue with them in person, so... I decided to hand over this task to you!"

Liu Yan was a child prodigy when he was a child. When he grew up, he naturally had no chores. As soon as he heard this, he immediately understood what Li Yan wanted him to do.

"Does Your Majesty look down on me a little too much? Even if I, Liu Yan, can't argue with so many people in the court to the position of prime minister. However, since Your Majesty believes in me, I will naturally do my best."

As soon as Liu Yan arrived here, Li Yan believed that he was indeed the one he wanted to find to help him decide. With Liu Yan's little mouth saying this, Li Yan could almost think of the situation the next day.

"I won't say anything else. My brother Li Yu will become the young guarantor of the Tang Dynasty tomorrow, and Han Zemu, the Minister of Rites, will not be idle either. I won't say anything else one by one. As for how to cooperate, I won't arrange it anymore. You all know the result I want. In short, I just say one thing. Whether the Tang Dynasty can rise depends on tomorrow!"
