Chapter 491: Right Xiang is sick
Li Linfu has been the writer of the political hall for more than ten years, and has always controlled the big and small affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and many officials in the imperial court have become his henchmen, obeying his words, and gradually forming the largest faction in the court, which is difficult for other factions to match. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the emperor is still the boss of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu's power is consolidating day by day, which still makes the emperor a little unhappy.
At present, his favorite is the concubine, and the Yang family, represented by the concubine, is naturally about to take over the stick of power, Yang Zhao is the best one, and he is the one who succeeds Li Linfu.
With the support and hint of Li Longji, Yang Zhao's courage is getting bigger and bigger, he went from being obedient to Li Linfu at the beginning and willing to be a dog of Li Linfu, and then gradually contradicted Li Linfu, and even began to dig into Li Linfu's corner, and took the initiative to shake Li Linfu's foundation, so that he could become the biggest tree in the Tang Dynasty officialdom.
And the reason why he is so confident is not only the support of the emperor, but also because Li Linfu is getting older.
After gradually getting older, Li Linfu's body is getting worse day by day, his body has gradually weakened, and he even began to take frequent leave to rest at home, which will naturally give Yang Zhao a chance.
Those court officials who were originally obedient to Li Linfu also began to alienate Li Linfu after discovering that Li Linfu's health was becoming weaker, because their keen sense of smell had already discovered the fact that Li Linfu was bound to decline.
Although this old minister is very capable, once his body collapses, it will be over, and his sons are very unsuccessful and cannot inherit his power.
In order to prevent themselves from falling from the big tree, they must find a new big tree to rely on, and the powerful Li An is naturally a good choice, but unfortunately Li An is used to being lazy, never engaging in party and personal gain, and does not like to contact these officials, and is happy to be quiet.
And in this way, the most worthy of their refuge is naturally Yang Zhao, the best talent of the Yang family, these wall grass have no other ability, and the ability to observe the political situation is still very outstanding, all of them are human spirits, and they will not be wrong about the political situation.
Li Linfu's body is not as good as day by day, when he goes to work, he often coughs and wheezing, and he looks very weak, many officials try their best to comfort him on the surface, as if they care about it, but in fact, they wish Li Linfu died early? Especially the ministers who had a holiday with him were even more eager for the early death of their political enemies.
And Li Linfu's body is getting weaker and weaker, firstly, because he is old and naturally aging, secondly, because he frames others all day long, it is too exhausting and too tired, and thirdly, he is too attentive to the government and politics, and he is also extremely tired.
When he framed other ministers, he often needed to list the evidence first, and then coerce confessions from these framed people in prison, and the person responsible for extorting confessions was his dogleg Jiwen, who was so powerful that there were almost no cases that he couldn't handle.
But now, when Li Linfu was at his weakest, Ji Wen betrayed Li Linfu and turned to Yang Zhao, who was in the limelight, and became a dog leg under Yang Zhao.
Li Linfu knew this, but he couldn't change all this, because he was about to hang up, and what he was most worried about was that after his burp, his family would be purged.
In the feudal era, there was a connection, a person committed a crime, his relatives and slaves were implicated, and they had to be executed, which was a very cruel practice, but there was such a system in that era, and no one could change it, and Li Linfu obviously didn't want his family to be purged after he died, so that everything he had would be gone.
Li Linfu shuddered when he thought of those officials who were framed to death by him, and when he was in the prime of his momentum, he could arbitrarily clean up these officials, but his time limit was approaching, and after his death, whether the relatives and cronies of the officials he had framed would take revenge on his children and grandchildren was a very serious and at the same time a very realistic question.
When people are about to die, they will start to think about the things behind them, and Li Linfu is naturally no exception, there are many things behind him, and he must prepare as soon as possible, so as not to be wiped out after he suddenly hangs up.
Li Linfu has many concubines, 25 sons and 25 daughters, but there are almost no outstanding talents, they are all generals, and they cannot inherit his political legacy at all.
In order to avoid these consequences, he must prepare early and seek a chance for his children to live in peace.
"Ah Lang, Thirteen Lang, they're here."
The servant walked into the moon hall with ten gentlemen.
This dimly lit little house belonged entirely to Li Linfu alone, and it was the place where he usually meditated and framed other ministers, except for a few servants who occasionally came in to report the situation and clean up, no one else could enter, including his sons.
Many of his twenty-five sons are officials in the court, but because of the limitations of ability, the official position is not very high, and there are ten sons who have no job at all, wandering around the capital all day long, and fighting with other gentlemen when they are bored.
The son who has become an official, there is no way to arrange it anymore, and he can't let them hide in an isolated place! And the remaining ten sons must make arrangements as soon as possible, so as not to hang up in the future, these guys are still in the capital and continue to grudge with others.
When he was the prime minister, his sons would not suffer a loss if they had a grudge with others, and the officials in the capital would also favor their sons, and once he hung up, the officials in the capital would no longer be afraid of his son, and the officials in the capital would not be afraid of him and protect his son, so that his son was likely to be imprisoned and even more implicated.
"You're in trouble again, ahem, ahem!"
Li Linfu looked angrily at his sons.
A few little bastards glanced at each other and looked at their father innocently.
"Father, we didn't cause trouble!"
The eldest, Thirteen, seemed unimpressed.
"At noon yesterday, Thirteen Lang, Fifteen Lang, the two of you bumped into someone in Dongshi, not only did you not get off the horse to apologize, but also made disrespectful remarks and walked away, is there such a thing."
Li Linfu asked very angrily.
Thirteen Lang said disapprerovingly: "Father, I thought it was a big deal?" Didn't you just hit a big cannibal who sold goods? He wasn't badly injured either. ”
"It's just that it's been a day, and no one from the yamen has come to look for us! It's a trivial matter, why should my father care. ”
Fifteen Lang followed.
When Li Linfu heard their words, he became even more angry, and his cough suddenly rose again.
"You two evil obstacles, it's reasonable to hit someone, the yamen didn't come to arrest you because Lao Tzu is still alive, once your father is dead, they won't be so polite, and besides, they will find out what you committed before and punish you for serious crimes."
Li Linfu panted and said.
"Father, take care of yourself! Don't get angry. ”
When the ten sons saw that their father's health was getting worse and worse, they opened their mouths to care.
In fact, they all know that their father is their backer, and once their father dies, they will lose their backer, and it will be difficult to show off their power in the capital.
"Father, we must pay attention to our words and deeds in the future, and we will never do anything domineering again, you pay attention to your body and don't get angry."
Thirteen Lang is really a little worried, once his father dies, his tsundere's good days will come to an end.
"Well, I hope you can really change, but that's not enough, you have nothing to do all day, how will you support yourself in the future."
Li Linfu thought about what was happening after his death, and felt that once these losers lost their backers, they would soon starve to death.
The ten little kings and eight sons were stunned for a moment, they had never thought about such a long-term thing at all, they had always been able to get by, and they were standard gentlemen.
"Then Father will find us an errand! Big brother, what they can do, we are not much behind. ”
Thirteen Lang spoke.
They had never worked at all, and they did not understand the hard work at all, thinking that as long as they got a good job, they could easily get a good job to support themselves.
Li Linfu looked at his ten sons and said, "The land in the river has been engaged in large-scale construction over the years, there is an extreme shortage of people, and there are many vacant positions, so it is not difficult to arrange you there. ”
"Father, I can't help it! The river is far away from the capital, thousands of miles away, why should we go so far. ”
"Father, don't you want children? He let the child go thousands of miles away. ”
"Father, isn't the capital very good? Why should we go so far. ”
The ten sons didn't understand it, and felt that it was too unfair, and their elder brothers were all assassins, and they were going to the land of the river, and the gap was too great.
Li Linfu said unhappily: "You want to seek a position in the capital, but with your strength, you are not qualified at all, and the capital is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the children of the nobles want to stay in the capital, how can the position be so easy to arrange, let's go to the land in the river!" If you are far away from the capital, you will be far away from right and wrong. ”
"Father, it's up to you to make arrangements, are you afraid that there won't be a suitable position? A few of us have nothing to do all day, and it's time to get some errands. ”
"Father, the East and West City is a fat difference, and the City Department is a good position."
"Father, the Datang newspaper is good, and I can see the latest newspaper for the first time, I want to go."
Several of the sons asked.
Li Linfu shook his head and objected: "There is no shortage of people in these positions you said, not only are there no shortage of people, but there are more people who want to squeeze in, if my father forcibly helps you enter these positions, do you know how many people you will offend?" Once your father is gone, these people will bite back, and you will have enough to bear. ”
Obviously, what his sons want to seek is the difference in beauty and fat, and in ancient and modern times, as long as it is poor, there will be many people competing, and the elimination rate is very high.
It is like the servants of the later generations, who speak very well, to serve the masters wholeheartedly, but they are the best at perfunctory and deceitful, a small position, but the embezzled money can surprise people.
Hundreds of mansions are trivial, and it is not worth mentioning to keep hundreds of little wives, and even, at the expense of writing their feats in their diaries, leaving them to the anti-corruption boys to read and relieve their boredom, it is estimated that these young men will be suffocated.
And many ordinary people, in order to live this kind of free and easy life, began to desperately squeeze into this team, only one person is recruited for a small position, and the competition for talents can be as high as thousands.
It's not an exaggeration to say that is really one in a thousand, and there are even one-in-a-million positions.
Thousands of troops are vying to be servants, this spectacular scene is estimated to be a big surprise, but this is the case, and the so-called servant is called a parent official in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor is the biggest parent official in the world.
That is to say, the parents of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the official master, changed their names in later generations and called them public servants of the people, but the essence is still that of the official master, otherwise how could he be greedy for so much money and ride on the people's head to oppress the people.
Have you ever seen a servant who dares to point at the servant's nose and arrest the master at will, and the master's house is well lived, and he can directly rip it off, and he can also find a group of thugs to beat the master half to death.
"Father, we really don't want to go that far, you can think of a way for us! Lower positions can also be considered. ”
Thirteen Lang doesn't want to go to the bitter cold land in the river, and the capital is the most prosperous place.
However, he has never been to the land of the river, in fact, the climate of the land of the river is still okay, and the exotic chick has a special taste.
"Father doesn't want you to go that far, but it is precisely because the land in the river is too far away that there is not much competition, and you will live well over there, without worrying about the revenge of your father's enemies."
Li Linfu said seriously.
"Father, the capital is the most royal place, if you go to the land in the river, it will be easier to be retaliated against?"
"The countries of the river have not been fully naturalized, so is it safe to go there?"
Fifteen Lang opened his mouth to retort.
Li Linfu taught: "What do you know, will my father still harm you? This time I went to the land in the river, my father will help you hide your identity, as long as you don't publicize yourself, no one will know that you are my Li Linfu's son, and no one will go to seek revenge, you are safe, and your father can rest assured. ”
When the ten sons heard this, they immediately felt that their father seemed to be much older all of a sudden, and they had a feeling of explaining what was going on.
