Chapter 62: Li Linfu
Li An had just returned to the concert hall, and before his buttocks were hot, he was about to go out of the city to hunt, which made Kunxiong, Feiyu and the others who were having breakfast slightly surprised.
"Okay, you're going alone?"
Li An waved his hand gently: "It's to accompany a son I just met to go hunting in the Fanchuan area." ”
"It's okay, this is too dangerous, how can people who have just met be so trusting, let's bring more brothers with you!"
"Yes! Big brother, the brothers stayed in the concert hall all day, and they were all suffocating. ”
Li Kunxiong took the bow and arrow and the quiver and handed them into Li An's hands.
Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, put the bow and quiver on his back, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll go first, if you are in a panic, go after you have eaten and drunk enough!" There's no rush. With that, he strode out.
Li Fei Shouyu chased after him, his eyes full of suspicion: "Okay, are you really hunting with a son?" ”
Li An didn't know where he was exposed, but Li Fei Shouyu was the only one outside the door, so he no longer concealed it and told the fact that Zhao Gongzi was a little girl.
Li Fei Shouyu grinned: "I know what to do, don't worry!" ”
Li An stepped on the war horse, galloped along the street in high spirits, and went to Mingde Gate to meet Zhao Gongzi.
###
Outside the gate of Li Linfu's mansion, the prime minister of the dynasty, Liu Luogu was waiting anxiously, and behind him were more than a dozen entourages, each holding a large stack of gifts in their hands.
These gifts were carefully selected by Liu Luogu and were ready to be presented to Li Linfu in order to win his favor.
Liu Luogu believes that as long as his gifts are in place, Li Linfu will be very happy, and in this way, his plan can be carried out smoothly.
"Click......"
The side door on the right side of Xiangguo's Mansion slowly opened, and Liu Luogu looked at the side door nervously, and his heart was in his throat.
"Mr. Liu, Xiangguo let you in."
When Liu Luogu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned back: "Go, hurry up." ”
"Wait." The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion frowned dissatisfiedly, and looked at Liu Luogu suspiciously: "Mr. Liu, Xiangguo let you in alone, what is the identity of these people, can they enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion casually?" ”
Liu Luogu was shocked, the first time he came to Chang'an City, he really didn't understand the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but from the tone of the housekeeper, he could feel the other party's dissatisfaction.
"It's a little bit of heart, and I hope to laugh at it."
Liu Luogu hurriedly took out a handful of gold from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, smiling at the corners of his mouth as if he had seen his father.
The butler of the Xiangfu touched the gold in his hand, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Liu is the first time to meet Xiangguo, and it is normal to not understand the rules of Xiangguo's mansion, these gifts can be placed here, after the inventory is completed, I will hand over the list to Xiangguo, so that his old man will know how heavy your mind is." ”
When Liu Luogu heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly nodded yes, and under the leadership of a Xiangfu family, he went to the Xiangguo Mansion.
In the main hall of Xiangguo Mansion, Li Linfu picked up a cup of tea, lifted the lid with his right hand, and gently stirred the tea leaves floating on the water.
As the most powerful minister of the Tang Empire, Li Linfu is so proud in the eyes of the world.
However, these are the views of outsiders, as Li Linfu himself, he never dared to think so, Li Longji is extremely tired of political affairs on the surface, and he has handed over a large number of government affairs to him, but in fact he secretly controls everything in the Tang Empire, and nothing can be hidden from the current Son of Heaven.
Li Linfu knew that the reason why he was able to get Li Longji's reuse was entirely because he was obedient enough, like a dog, and did things according to the will of Li Longji, the master, everywhere, while Zhang Jiuling, Yan Tingzhi and others would always contradict Li Longji on some issues related to the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Longji extremely angry.
In other words, what Li Longji needs is a completely obedient dog minion, not a minister who disagrees with him everywhere, it is a good thing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but it is even more important to be loyal to him Li Longji.
A few years ago, the former crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju were executed by Li Longji, which caused a great shock to Li Linfu.
At that time, everyone knew that the three princes were wronged, and Li Longji himself knew very well that he did not have the intention of killing at the beginning, but the strong defense of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling and others greatly angered Li Longji, making Li Longji determined to kill his three sons and belittled Zhang Jiuling.
At that time, Li Linfu thought that Zhang Jiuling was reprimanded because he disobeyed Li Longji, so he tried his best to obey Li Longji's wishes and support Li Mao, the king of Lishou, as the crown prince.
Li Longji favored Concubine Wu Hui at that time, and their son Li Mao was naturally very favored, and supporting Li Mao should be in line with Li Longji's wishes, but this is not the case, Li Longji ordered his third son Li Yu to be the crown prince, that is, Li Heng of Tang Suzong in later generations, which really surprised everyone.
The heart of heaven is unpredictable, Li Longji's move greatly shocked Li Linfu, he thought he could find out Li Longji's mind, but he was mercilessly tricked by Li Longji.
After thinking about it for many days, Li Linfu gradually understood that Li Longji was not old, he was still the Li Sanlang who created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and he had enough assertiveness and wisdom to allow anyone to threaten his throne, even if this person was his son.
Zhang Jiuling, as Xiangguo, tried his best to defend the crown prince, which made Li Longji see the close relationship between the prime minister and the prince, which was a threat to his throne, so how could Li Longji let the next prince get mixed up with Xiangguo?
Only when the crown prince and Xiangguo fight each other, Li Longji can control it with ease, so as to ensure the stability of the throne.
Over the years, Li Linfu has been against the prince from time to time, cautiously speculating on Li Longji's intentions, living more tired than a dog, and this hardship is only clear to him, and what outsiders see is always his scenery and status.
"Ah Lang, Mr. Liu is here."
Jia Ding interrupted Li Linfu's train of thought.
Li Linfu blew the tea in his hand, took a sip gently, put the teacup on the table next to him, looked up at Liu Luogu, who was standing outside the main hall, and nodded slightly.
The family members understood and withdrew from the main hall.
"Mr. Liu, please have a foreign country."
Liu Luogu was shocked, hurriedly entered the main hall, and bowed to Li Linfu: "Liu Luogu is humble to meet Xiangguo." ”
"Mr. Liu doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and serve tea."
Li Linfu smiled at the corner of his mouth, sweeter than smearing honey.
Liu Luogu raised his head and saw Li Linfu's kind attitude, his heart suddenly warmed, and he felt that his plan was one step closer to success.
Xiangfu Jiading put a glass of warm water on several cases, but Liu Luogu didn't dare to sit down, what is his identity, how can he sit and talk to Xiangguo today.
Seeing that Liu Luogu didn't dare to sit down, Li Linfu didn't force it, it was his hospitality to let people sit down, but if the other party didn't sit, he wouldn't force it, after all, his status was here, and there was nothing wrong with letting a lowly guest stand.
Li Linfu picked up the tea on the next table again, gently stirred the tea leaves floating on the water, and looked at Liu Luogu with a smile.
Liu Luogu was a little nervous, and after collecting his thoughts, he arched his hand and said: "Xiangguo, I came here this time on the order of the Governor of Andu, and specially sent some local products from Yingzhou to come over, so that Xiangguo could try it. ”
"Governor Andu has worked tirelessly to guard the frontier for my Datang Town, and it is rare to think of his true appearance."
Li Linfu did not refuse, and smiled even sweeter.
Liu Luogu was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward: "Xiangguo has worked hard for the government and government, and has solved problems for His Majesty, and is a model for us, and the governor of my family often warns us that if there is no Xiangguo for the Tang Dynasty to plan for the foresight, and propose to reuse the generals in front of His Majesty, he can only be a lowly Hu man now, and there is no chance for the Tang Dynasty to guard the border passes. ”
The corner of Li Linfu's mouth is still hanging on the signature smile, he has long been accustomed to hearing these beautiful words, there will be no waves in his heart, and his mind will never have the slightest confusion because of these beautiful words.
"Andutu can serve Datang, it is completely Your Majesty's discernment, willing to give him this opportunity, Andudu should be grateful to Your Majesty, and always loyal to Datang, Mr. Liu, do you say yes?"
Li Linfu said, put the teacup in his hand back on the case beside him, and looked at Liu Luogu with a smile.
He has been an official for many years, Li Linfu has already honed his skills, and he knows what not to say nonsense and what to say, at this moment, he must correct Liu Luogu's point of view, otherwise, if the news of the border generals' private loyalty to Xiangguo spreads, Li Longji can still spare him, God knows, will there be any henchmen installed by Li Longji in his mansion.
When Liu Luogu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "The lesson of Xiangguo is that the governor is a general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is naturally loyal to His Majesty, oh, by the way, a few months ago, the governor of my family captured a huge white eagle in the north of Yingzhou, and the governor said that such a huge white eagle is a sacred bird, and only His Majesty can have it, so he asked the humble position to put this divine bird into a cage and present it to His Majesty as a tribute, but it was just ......"
"Just what?"
Li Linfu's smile is still kind, and the nasolabial folds on his cheeks are clearly visible.
Liu Luogu knelt on his knees and burst into tears: "The humble and incompetent, the divine bird has been eaten into the belly, and I ask Xiangguo to be the master of the humble position." ”
"The divine bird has been eaten, who has such courage."
Li Linfu's curiosity was aroused, and he looked at Liu Luogu expectantly.
Liu Luogu saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly reported Li An's situation to Li Linfu, and looked at Li Linfu expectantly.
"If a young man is ambitious, he doesn't know the height of the sky, but what about young people?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Linfu's mouth, and he looked up at Liu Luogu: "I know this matter as it is, is there anything else about Mr. Liu?" ”
"No, it's okay, retire."
Liu Luogu knew that Li Linfu had given an eviction order, and hurriedly left.
