As soon as Yuyan's words came out, Mrs. Tong immediately realized that her master was ill and everything had changed, so she hurriedly shook her body and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately and confessing: "Concubine Niangniang, please calm your anger, the old body is old and confused and offended Niangniang, please forgive me for the sake of my master." ”

Yang also kept kowtowing.

Yang Yuhuan didn't put down the tea bowl in his hand, sneered and looked at the old lady Tong and Yang on the ground and said: "Madame, please go back, the palace is not a place where you can spread wild, the emperor's affairs, this palace can't be the master, you better go to face the saint." ”

Tong and Yang bit their tongues, got up, and walked out of the Hall of Eternal Life with their heads down.

Swift sent the guests back and entered the main hall, Yang Yuhuan squinted his eyes slightly and leaned on the phoenix collapse and asked, "Did they go to face the saint?"

"I went, but I was blocked by the emperor. Swift replied.

It's no wonder that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji already has a seed in his heart that Li Linfu wants to rebel, and not killing him is already considered an extrajudicial favor, how can he go to see him again?

To put it mildly, Tang Xuanzong was waiting for him to die at this time, and he died to make room for Yang Guozhong.

The Tong and Yang clans returned from the killing, but Li Linfu is not dead, he still has many disciples and friends, and he must support the right minister for his own future. They jointly wrote a letter requesting Tang Xuanzong to visit the right minister in the Li Mansion in person.

If he didn't seem to be too ruthless to the old prime minister, he went to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and had a feeling of being forced by others, and he had a resistance in his heart, and he didn't want to see the Li family more and more. After a few days of awkwardness, Colliers came up with an idea for him.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji called Li Linfu's eldest son Li Xiu into the imperial study, and said to him seriously: "The king goes to see the sick minister, it violates the three outlines and five constants, and the Xuanyuan Emperor has made a rule, the minister is sick, the emperor can't visit, if he visits, the minister will die; Do you still want me to visit the Prime Minister?"

Before Li Xiu went out, his mother Tong told him many times that he must be invited to the emperor, and he did not dare to disobey his mother's orders, so he replied without hesitation: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to be considerate of my father's painstaking efforts and open the net." ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji pondered for a while and said: "In this way, you make me very embarrassed, if your father insists on seeing me, why don't you carry him to the courtyard and let his face face face the palace, I wave a red silk scarf on the highest floor of the palace, your father sees this red silk scarf as if I am there in person, do you think it?"

When I heard this, it was perfunctory, but Li Xiu had no other way but to go home and convey the emperor's intentions.

When Li Xiu returned home, Li Linfu was looking forward to him bringing back exciting news, his spirit was much better, he was able to sit up, looked at Li Xiu and asked, "Xiu'er, has the emperor answered?"

"Yes, yes. Li Xiu replied stubbornly.

Hearing this, Li Linfu's face instantly flushed with a layer of excitement.

He jumped out of bed at once, and shouted in a panic: "Hurry up and change my court clothes, I want to face the saint." ”

"Father, father, the emperor didn't come. Li Xiu said in a whisper.

"The emperor will come over tomorrow?" Li Linfu asked expectantly.

Li Linfu asked urgently, Li Xiu couldn't make it up anymore, and said the original words of Tang Taizong.

Hearing this, Li Linfu was cold from his head to the soles of his feet, and his whole body was cold.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji didn't care too much about what Li Linfu thought, and he took Yang Yuhuan to the highest building of the palace at the appointed time that day, handed a handkerchief to Yang Yuhuan's hand and said, "Yuhuan, you can help me wave the handkerchief in the direction of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Yang Yuhuan pursed his lips and said, "I don't want it, standing on a tall building and waving a handkerchief like a laughing woman, I feel awkward to think about it." ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't say that Li Longji hadn't realized this yet, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with waving a silk scarf, and when he heard this, he instantly felt a little awkward sitting on this upstairs. He said to Gao Lishi: "Lux Shi, the matter of the red handkerchief will be handled by you, and I still have to take a step in advance." ”

Looking at the back of the emperor and the concubine in a hurry, Gao Lishi felt this resentment in his heart, "You don't want to welcome guests, let me greet you, it's too much to bully the eunuch." ”

Without hesitation, Gao Lishi directly pulled a little eunuch next to him and said: "Little cabinet, this manager has given you a task, from now on stand here with this handkerchief and wave it for me in this direction for half an hour." ”

The red silk scarf waved in the air in the distance for more than half an hour, and the entire Li family knelt there for more than half an hour, and finally Li Linfu was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to breathe, and his condition became more and more serious. I had to lie in bed and wait for death.

Just when Li Linfu's condition became more and more serious, Yang Guozhong received an edict from Tang Xuanzong Li Longji to return to the capital quickly. Seeing the emperor's edict, Yang Guozhong was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that he would definitely be able to pay homage to the marquis when he returned to Beijing this time.

There was no time to pack up, so he rushed to the capital overnight with a few cronies, for fear that Li Linfu would die before he arrived and lose this opportunity to show off.

Day and night, the first thing Yang Guozhong did when he entered the city was to visit the sick and weak old prime minister Li Linfu.

When he saw Li Linfu, he was already dying, and he no longer had the strength and courage to fight with Yang Guozhong, he trembled his hands, grabbed Yang Guozhong, and said with tears: "I'm dying, after I die, you will definitely take my place as prime minister, and my future affairs will be entrusted to you." ”

So far, Li Linfu, who has been tough all his life, bowed his noble head to Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong had never seen Li Linfu show his weak side, which was too different from his usual aggressive momentum, which made him feel unreal. Yang Guozhong suspected that Li Linfu was pretending to be sick and deceiving himself, thinking of this, he was so frightened that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly replied: "Lord You, don't say that, your illness will get better soon, and your host is indispensable in the imperial court." ”

Li Linfu sighed very disappointedly: "You still refuse to forgive me, and you are not even willing to agree to my little request, so let's go." ”

Yang Guozhong no longer had the heart to demonstrate at this time, he cautiously withdrew from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and hurried to meet the emperor.

What he and Li Longji didn't expect was that Li Linfu's condition was really serious, so serious that he died in a few days.

Li Linfu is dead, but his henchmen are still there, and there are still people who are moving around thinking about dealing with Yang Guozhong, which makes Yang Guozhong angry, and it is directly sprinkled on the dead Li Linfu.

He told Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: "When the minister was in Nanzhao, he heard that the old prime minister Li Linfu had married a father and son with a different surname with a minority general Absi, and the Nanzhao riot was led by Absi, and the right minister Li Linfu also knew about it in advance, and he should be directly responsible for the Nanzhao rebellion. ”
