Li Linfu relied on framing virtuous ministers to ascend to the stage step by step, and he was very worried that his phase would be threatened, so he often framed the ministers who were reused by the emperor to eliminate this threat.

And Li An is already valued by Li Longji at a young age, and it will inevitably be reused in time, which poses a potential threat to Li Linfu's phase, and Li Linfu will naturally not take it lightly.

However, Li Linfu is a smart man, and he knows when he can use tricks to frame a person, when he can assassinate a minister, and when he can't do these things.

In Li Linfu's heart, Li Longji is a shrewd and arrogant emperor, no matter how much he plays tricks, he can't escape from Li Longji's palm, so his tricks must be in line with Li Longji's intentions, if it goes against Li Longji's intentions, his framing will not only be difficult to succeed, but will also bring disaster to himself, after all, Li Longji, the king of a country, is the master who opened up the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not something that can be deceived by just a few words.

At the beginning, Li Linfu framed Zhang Jiuling because he speculated that Li Longji was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Jiuling's behavior of supporting the crown prince, and the reason for framing the former prince, King Guang, and King E was because Li Longji did not trust his son at that time and was afraid that his son would usurp the throne.

But right now, Li An is about to be ordered by Li Longji to escort King Guichang back to the Dongnu Kingdom and deal with the crisis that occurred in the Dongnu Kingdom, if he stumbles Li An at this time and causes Li An's mission to fail, the interests of the Tang Empire will inevitably suffer huge losses, in case Li Longji knows, his position in Xiangguo will not have to sit.

Although there are many people under Li Linfu's command, no one can guarantee that there is no undercover agent of Li Longji among these people, so Li Linfu will naturally not take this risk.

"Zhonglin, the prime minister knows that you are loyal, but this kind of thing, you must not say nonsense, the situation in the Dongnu country is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the prime minister, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can he ignore the interests of the Tang Dynasty for his personal interests."

Li Linfu glared at Li Zhonglin and put on a posture of worrying about Datang.

Li Zhonglin was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and asked, "Then Xiangguo is planning to wait and see what happens?" ”

Li Linfu showed a signature smile on the corner of his mouth, and said sideways: "Zhonglin, you personally go to the Lingzhou Concert Academy and invite Li An." ”

"Alang, why is that?"

Li Zhonglin's brows furrowed.

"Don't ask so much, don't go quickly."

Li Linfu was stunned, and asked Li Zhonglin to go and invite Li An immediately.

After Li Zhonglin ran out of the study, Li Linfu pinched his chin and continued to fall into deep thought.

###

In the guest room of the Lingzhou Jinju Academy, Li An and Li Fei Shouyu were discussing the details of escorting King Guichang back to the Dongnu Kingdom, and Li Feiyu stood next to him and interjected from time to time.

"Big brother, someone is looking for you outside the door."

Li Kunxiong strode into the room from the outside.

"Who's looking for me?"

"Eldest brother, that person claims to be Li Zhonglin, and he says that he is the housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion, but I don't know if it's true or not."

When Li An heard this, he glanced at Li Fei Shouyu: "Zhonglin? The housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion is Li Linfu's housekeeper. ”

"It's okay, just go out and see."

Li An nodded, and walked out of the gate with the three brothers.

"You're looking for me."

Li Zhonglin smiled all over his face, and said respectfully: "Captain Li, here is the housekeeper of Li Xiangguo's mansion in the Zhongshu Order, Xiangguo wants to see Captain Li, so he specially invites him to come and invite him." ”

"Oh, Sangkook wants to see me."

Li Anxin was slightly surprised, and frowned unconsciously, Li Longji had only seen him not long ago, why did Li Linfu also want to see him, what would his intentions be?

To be honest, Li An did not have a good impression of Li Linfu, and later books all portrayed Li Linfu as a treacherous and evil villain in the city, so as soon as he heard that Li Linfu wanted to see him, Li An immediately felt that this was most likely a conspiracy.

"Captain Li, Xiang Guo is already waiting in the study of the mansion, and I also ask Captain Li to appreciate his face."

Li An and the three brothers glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, wait a while, and when Li An is a little prepared, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you." ”

After returning to the guest room, Ang Lee changed into decent clothes and straightened his hair.

"Big brother, everyone in the world says that Li Xiangguo is an extremely dangerous person, this time, I invite you to go for no reason, I'm afraid I won't have a good heart."

"Yes! Eldest brother, Li Xiangguo is the most jealous and jealous, the eldest brother is reused by His Majesty, presumably Li Xiangguo must be very dissatisfied in his heart, and he is afraid that it will be a Hongmen banquet. ”

"It's okay, or the three of us will go with you, and if anything happens, we can take care of each other."

Li An shook his head lightly and looked at the three of them: "No need, if Li Linfu wants to plot against me, even if a few of you go, there is nothing you can do, don't worry, Li Xiangguo is a smart person, and he won't attack me at this time." ”

After speaking, he strode to the gate, and under the leadership of Li Zhonglin, he rode towards Li Linfu's mansion.

Li Fei Shouyu, Kunxiong, and Feiyu were not worried about Li An going alone, and after Li An left, they quietly followed behind.

###

In the study room of Xiangguo Mansion, Li Linfu has been maintaining a contemplative posture, almost not moving, he is waiting for Li An's arrival.

The reason why Li Linfu wanted to meet Ang Lee was to better understand Ang Lee as a person, and to test Ang Lee's political ideals by the way.

"Ah Lang, Captain Li is already here."

Li Linfu was slightly stunned, and immediately got up, and said: "Open the middle door to greet you, quickly open the middle door to greet you." ”

"Yes, Aaron."

Outside the gate of Li Linfu's mansion, Li An looked up at the gilded plaque above his head, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, this is Li Linfu's mansion, and the style is naturally not comparable to the gate of ordinary people, this plaque alone is worth a lot of money, the stone beast in front of the door is the best stone, and the halberd frame is all inlaid with copper.

"Click......"

With the piercing sound of the door shaft turning, the door of Xiangguo's Mansion slowly opened.

From this piercing click, Li An could tell that the door of Xiangguo's Mansion had not been opened for a long time, and today, it was actually opened for him, a hairy boy, which made him feel extremely surprised.

And what surprised him even more was still to come, at the moment when the door of Xiangguo's Mansion opened, a kind old man with a smile was walking slowly and beckoning to Li An.

"Captain Li, please come inside."

Li Linfu greeted Li An in person, and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

Li An was surprised, and hurriedly walked into the gate of Xiangguo's mansion, saluted respectfully, and pretended to be grateful: "Li An is just a little person, how dare you bother Xiangguo to greet him in person, Xiangguo's move is too embarrassing for Li An." ”

Li Linfu smiled very sweetly, squinted his eyes, and said enthusiastically: "Although Captain Li's position is low, he is a young hero who is rare in my Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. ”

Being praised by Li Linfu like this, Li An's heart was really comfortable, but after all, he knew something about Li Linfu, so he was always full of vigilance.

In the main hall of Xiangguo Mansion, Li An and Li Linfu sat down as guests, Li Zhonglin stood aside and waited, and several handsome maidservants served delicious pastries and hot tea.

Li An's head was a little nervous, he looked sideways at Li Linfu, and arched his hand: "Xiangguo forgives the sin, a few days ago on the street, Li An didn't know that the person in the sedan chair was Xiangguo, so it was really offensive." ”

Li Linfu smiled and waved his hand: "This is a trivial matter, not enough to worry about, but there are really not many people who dare to look at him, which is enough to show that Captain Li is not an ordinary person!" ”

Li An smiled, paused, and said: "Xiangguo, in half a month, Li An will escort King Guichang to Dongnu Kingdom, I don't know what advice Xiangguo has." ”

"Captain Li is a young hero, wise and brave, and just an escort errand, he must be competent, so why don't you say more."

The corners of Li Linfu's mouth were still sweet, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Xiangguo praised it falsely, and Ang Lee was ashamed."

After a few casual conversations with Li Linfu, Li An felt Li Linfu's power, this person, the title of the honey-bellied sword is by no means groundless, at least, in Li An's opinion, every word Li Linfu said was so pleasant, which made people unconsciously have a good impression, so as to relax their vigilance.

Li Linfu squinted his eyes and looked Li An up and down, as if he wanted to see through Li An, which made Li An quite uncomfortable, and even had a creepy feeling.

"Captain Li is a young hero, wise and brave, and has won the favor of His Majesty, and his future must be immeasurable, oh, by the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also attach great importance to Captain Li, so let alone Captain Li's future prospects, haha!"

Li Linfu's attitude was even kinder, and when he looked at Li An, he looked at Li An with the same love, full of appreciation and concern as if he were looking at his own son.

However, Li An is also an extremely shrewd person, he knows that Li Linfu is testing his attitude towards the prince, the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, and said humbly: "Xiangguo has won the award, Li An was lucky to make an inch of merit for the Tang Dynasty, and he was appreciated by His Majesty, and he was quite worried, in this life, he can only swear allegiance to His Majesty to repay His Majesty's appreciation, but His Royal Highness the Prince does not seem to value Li An." ”

Li Linfu pretended to be puzzled, frowned and said: "Captain Li is a young hero, he is a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not appreciate it?" ”

"Li An took advantage of the favorable time and place, and he was lucky to make an inch, and there is nothing outstanding, and it is natural that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not value it, but Li An can be loyal to His Majesty, so why should he be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Then Captain Li didn't think about the future?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Linfu's eyes.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty is healthy and energetic, and there are at least a few decades of longevity, so why should Li An think about going so far?" ”
