It is said that businessmen are all unprofitable guys, and politicians are the same, they are also unprofitable and unprofitable, and they will not spend energy to do things.

So as soon as he heard that Yang Guozhong suddenly came to visit, and he came to visit when he was in poor health, Li Linfu's first impression was that something must have happened, and he must have a certain use value, otherwise, how could Yang Guozhong come over.

"Ah Lang, early this morning, King Tan forcibly broke into the palace to ask for peace for His Majesty, and the ministers and princes also followed."

Li Zhonglin has Li Linfu's intelligence system, and he can naturally learn about what happened in the court as soon as possible, and there is no difficulty in this, it is estimated that many powerful people and big businessmen in the capital will soon know about it.

"What the hell is going on, what is going on with Your Majesty?"

Li Linfu asked excitedly.

"Ah Lang, Your Majesty's face is indeed a little haggard, but judging from the tone of his voice, it shouldn't be a serious illness, maybe it's really just an occasional minor illness and recuperating in the dormitory."

Li Zhonglin replied.

Li Linfu nodded and said, "Your Majesty has always been very tough since he was young, and there shouldn't be any serious illness!" By the way, King Tan is so reckless, has Your Majesty ever blamed? ”

"I didn't blame, I didn't say a word of reproach, Your Majesty was tired and didn't talk much, let Yang Guozhong handle the government affairs of the political hall, let the prince also go over to participate, and asked about the Wanli Transmission Plan, and then, everyone retreated."

Li Zhonglin truthfully told all the news he knew.

Li Linfu frowned and pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Don't let Yang Guozhong wait too long, let him come in, open the middle door to greet him, and help me up." ”

"Ah Lang, you are not in good health, so you don't need to greet you in person."

Li Zhonglin said with concern.

"It's okay, even if you lie down all the time, you go open the door."

Li Linfu urged.

Since Yang Guozhong really came to visit, he couldn't turn people away, and, through what he had just learned, he had already guessed the purpose of Yang Guozhong's visit this time, and he himself also wanted to cooperate with Yang Guozhong again, and while he still had a breath, he could remove the biggest obstacle that threatened his children and grandchildren.

Although his health is very bad at the moment, however, there is no big problem in getting up with the support of his subordinates, he needs someone to help him walk, and in addition, he can't walk for too long, otherwise, it will lead to a loss of breath.

"Yang Yushi, please come inside."

Li Zhonglin personally opened the middle door and led Yang Guozhong into the house, accompanied by only two Yang Guozhong's entourage.

Li Linfu couldn't go too far, so he stood at the door of the main hall and waited for Yang Guozhong.

"Right Xiang, are you feeling better?"

Yang Guozhong stepped forward and looked at his former colleagues, who had become so haggard, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, even if they had been opponents for a while, they always felt a sense of sympathy.

Li Linfu was strong, the corners of his mouth barely squeezed out a smile, and his voice was not very loud: "Yang Yushi can come, I am very happy, serve tea, you all retreat!" ”

Before retreating, the subordinates helped Li Linfu to sit down, but they didn't go far, not far outside, as long as Li Linfu shouted, they would come in.

Yang Guozhong also retreated left and right, and took the gift in the hand of his entourage.

"Yang Yushi, what kind of gift did you bring me?"

Li Linfu glanced at the paper packaging, in fact, he had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

"Right Xiang, this is a newly cooked candy, Xia Guan knows that you take medicine every day, your mouth must be bitter, and it will be more comfortable to eat some candy."

Yang Guozhong said with a smile.

Li Linfu was not surprised, smiled, and said, "Candy, it's really a very timely gift!" It makes me feel good, haha! ”

For gifts, Li Linfu is not so interested in it now, he is about to hang up, where does he care about those so-called gifts, Yang Guozhong can come even if it is good, other ministers are still avoiding him? Especially the ministers who seemed loyal in the past, all avoided him, and they didn't go to the mansion to see him once, but there were more people who went to Yang Guozhong's mansion, so that the threshold of Yang's mansion was about to be trampled on.

"Right Xiang, do you want to taste a piece first."

Yang Guozhong walked over lightly and opened the paper bag containing the candy.

Li Linfu glanced at it lightly and said lightly: "Let's put it first!" Yang Yushi is definitely not here to bring me candy! There is something that can be said. ”

After all, the sick body can't support it for too long, and if the politeness is too long, Li Linfu should be tired, and the following business can't be discussed.

"Your Majesty has been in poor health for the past few days, can you know the right appearance?"

Yang Guozhong first needed to lay the groundwork before he could say his purpose.

Li Linfu nodded lightly and said: "I know, naturally I know, I heard that Your Majesty is fine, today in the dormitory, he also proposed to let Yang Yushi deal with the government affairs, the old man wants to congratulate Yang Yushi!" ”

"Where, where, there are still many places to ask the right minister? Ha ha! ”

Yang Guozhong said politely, paused, and continued: "The right minister should know that the prince is also involved in political affairs, and the relationship between the lower officials and the prince, and the relationship between the right minister and the prince, it is all the same bad, with the prince in the way, I am afraid that many political affairs will be more troublesome when they are handled!" ”

This is true, anyone in power will choose to promote their own cronies, if the officials who belong to them make a mistake, they will try their best to put things right, and once political opponents and their cronies make a mistake, then they will be dealt with severely, in short, it is impossible to handle things fairly.

For example, it is very common for officials to be greedy for ink, especially in ancient society, any official, almost all of them have made mistakes, that is to say, almost all officials can not withstand the investigation, as long as the investigation is carried out, you can always find a lot of problems, so that they can be dismissed and investigated, but the imperial history in charge of the investigation, if you encounter an official who supports you to make a mistake, then you will naturally have to open the net, and if you have a mistake with someone who has a festival with you, then you are not polite at all, you can rectify it as you want, and rectify it to death.

However, if the person in charge of the investigation has an opponent around him and supervises him, it will not be feasible to continue his own way, and Goshi's actions will be greatly restricted.

For example, Yang Guozhong is in charge of handling the affairs of the political hall, and when he sees remarks that are unfavorable to him, or finds that someone reports his confidants, he is likely to suppress the matter, so that the matter will not be resolved, but if the prince also sees this matter, it will be more difficult for him to suppress the matter.

In history, there are many courtiers in power who will suppress a lot of things that are not conducive to themselves, that is to say, the courtiers below have to reflect some problems, and there are many things that cannot be sent to the emperor, and they are likely to be intercepted halfway, and even, the person who writes the recital will encounter a series of retaliatory blows.

In many dynasties, when the enemy army came and the front line was completely defeated, the emperor was still singing and dancing in the palace, and even, the enemy army was outside the capital, and the emperor knew that the people below him had hidden himself and did not tell him such important news, which led to the defeat of the empire.

When Li Linfu was in power, he engaged in a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, in order to eliminate dissidents and make his position more stable, and Yang Guozhong obviously wanted to do this at the moment, but the prince was allowed to participate in political affairs, which added a layer of constraints, which would make Yang Guozhong like a thorn in his back when dealing with political affairs, and he could not handle his own affairs as he wanted.

"Yang Yushi should understand that the crown prince is the future emperor, and participating in the government is also a kind of exercise, which cannot be avoided, some time ago, didn't King Tan also participate in the court politics?"

Li Linfu opened his mouth and said.

This is equivalent to reminding Yang Guozhong that King Tan is a weight that can be used to balance the prince, after all, they are all sons of the emperor, and Wang Tan is older than the prince and is the elder brother of the prince, so it is more natural to inherit the position of the prince, and the emperor seems to be cultivating the prince and other princes, so as to be ready to replace the prince at any time, so that the prince is not the only heir of the empire, so as to distract the attention of the court ministers, so that they can choose to be loyal to different princes, so as to control the situation in the court.

Of course, since we want to balance, we can't favor either side, whoever is stronger will hit whom, and whoever is weak must be supported, so that the two sides can always maintain an even level.

This time the emperor was sick, the prince was weak, almost no action, but King Tan had small movements, which made the emperor feel that King Tan's mentality was a little uplifted, and the prince seemed to be a little settled, so he naturally needed to take the prince with him, so that the prince could be more active, so as to have the strength to confront the opponents and form a force that reassured him.

"This Your Majesty is a mind for a while, which really makes the ministers of our country unpredictable, can the right minister see which prince His Majesty likes?"

Yang Guozhong asked.

Li Linfu smiled contemptuously, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the holy will is unpredictable!" Even I can't guess, but we are all fathers and sons, so the feelings of being fathers should be understandable, right? ”

This is to tell Yang Guozhong that the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, and the emperor theoretically hurts every son, but at the same time, it can also be said that every son does not hurt, but he hurts his sons because they are all his own, and he doesn't hurt his sons, and because he doesn't want his sons to threaten his dominance, once one of his sons has hard wings, it is not good to threaten the emperor's position.

After all, the emperor's family is different from ordinary people's families, and the heir can own the entire empire, so since ancient times, the struggle for power and profit of the emperor's family is often the most intense, and if you are not careful, if your father dies, or your brother dies, or your younger brother dies, the tragedy of humanity is inevitable, and Li Longji himself also started by power, and he is extremely familiar with this aspect.

Moreover, judging from the historical situation, Li Longji did not forget to play a power trick in the later period, but unfortunately it was a mistake, after the Anshi Rebellion, because of a series of wrong decisions of Tang Xuanzong, the rebels broke through the Tongguan defense line, and then threatened the Beijing division Chang'an.

At this critical juncture, the emperor and a large number of officials, all fled to Shuzhong, just like a lost dog, halfway through, the prince and his henchmen planned to kill Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong, and then, under the pretext of containing the rebels, establish the determination of the people to resist the enemy, let the prince escape from Li Longji's sight, and after arriving in the north of Lingwu, quickly ascended the throne and called the emperor, and respected Li Longji as the emperor.

This is actually no different from the usurpation, and it is a blatant usurpation, but Li Heng's usurpation has a certain foundation, and he ascended the throne with the support of a large number of officers in the north, and these officers control most of the elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and are the main force to quell the rebellion.

For this reason, Li Longji can only admit it, after all, because of his faint old age, which led to the Anshi Rebellion, his emperor's prestige has been greatly reduced, which can be seen from the northern generals' promotion of the crown prince to the throne.

But he was very unwilling to let Li Heng control the entire Tang Dynasty like this, and he also hoped that the position of the emperor of the ether would continue to live a life of ruling the world, so after he learned that Li Heng had ascended the throne privately, although he admitted this fact, but at the same time, he also immediately issued an edict to let his many princes lead the envoys of the world to compete with Li Heng who ascended the throne, and the most famous one was Li Heng, who was the governor of Jiangling.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he had the idea of separating one side, but because this guy had no real talent and learning, he finally failed miserably, and Li Longji's behavior of sealing the princes as the envoys of the world also made Li Heng very unhappy, so, after Li Longji returned to the capital Chang'an, Li Heng treated his father very unfriendly, and even, he drove away the most powerful Gaolishi around him, which was simply to suffocate the emperor alive, and finally led to Li Longji's depression.

Everything is fixed, Li Longji treats his son very unkindly, and tries every possible way to limit his son's power, and finally ends up with a miserable result of desolation in his old age.

"Your Majesty's original favorite is Shouwang Li Mao, but unfortunately because of the matter of the concubine, it is unlikely that Shouwang will become the crown prince, but in addition to King Shou, although King Tan and King Yong are also favored by His Majesty, they all have flaws, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make His Majesty completely satisfied, which is a difficult thing to do!"

Yang Guozhong looked at Li Linfu with an embarrassed expression.

The prince's thigh, he can't hold it at all, his only hope is to find a person who can replace the prince from among the rest of the princes, and give it all his support, if the prince he supports finally sits on the dragon chair, his position can be more stable.
