Because of Gao Lishi's reminder last night, Li Linfu didn't sleep well all night, and he fell asleep all the time, and when he got up before dawn and went to bed in the morning, he actually caught a cold, sneezed a few times in the carriage, his head became groggy, and his body began to heat up. After the morning court, his body became heavier and heavier, so he said goodbye and went home to rest.

At this moment, Li Linfu is sitting on the old yellowed rattan chair, the index finger and thumb of his left hand are gently pressing the acupuncture points between his eyebrows and eyes, and his mind is still echoing the words Gao Lishi said last night, 'The emperor's body has not been as good as a year in the past two years', and he paid special attention to Li Longji this morning, although the light is dim and he can't see his face clearly, but the momentum of sitting on the throne is weaker than before.

It was this kind of death that made Li Linfu feel a panic, and a night of deep thinking made him slowly taste a little bit, how the emperor killed the old wife Li Ying back then, and his three biological children did not pity it, and pushed it out, with only one word, 'Kill!' ’

But now Li Heng, Li Longji seems to be just pruning the branches, splitting off his branches little by little, leaving only a light pole to stand there, and has no intention of cutting it down, it seems that Li Longji also knows that time is running out, and he no longer plans to leave the new master.

So what to do yourself? After being a dog for so many years, doesn't he care?

'The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks', although this is common sense, if he kills Li Heng, his day will come to an end, but if he doesn't kill Li Heng, his family will face extinction, this is Li Linfu's pain, the pain of no third way, the scenery of the heights and the despair of no way out.

There was a gentle footstep sound outside, "I want to see my father" This is the voice of Ba Li Yin.

"The master is sick and needs to rest, see you on the next day!" It was the voice of the loyal captain of the guard.

This must be a matter of not giving up on yesterday, and it is not bad not to act recklessly.

Li Linfu felt a burst of relief in his heart, and a trace of love appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let him come in!" ”

Li Yin walked in slowly with his head down, knelt down and saluted his father, "Father is not in good health, and the child is here to greet him." ”

"Get up!" Li Linfu pointed to the circle chair next to him and said kindly: "Come!" Sit down and talk. ”

Li Yin sat down, but his lips moved, and he still didn't have the courage to say it, Li Linfu saw it, but smiled slightly: "We are fathers, what can't we say, we still rely on our father's soldiers to fight!" You want to help your father, not like other brothers, it's too late to be happy for your father, say it! Don't spit out. ”

Li Yin felt his father's warmth, and saw that his father was physically and mentally exhausted, his nose couldn't help but sour, and he couldn't help but lend one of his shoulders to his father to withstand the pressure, and suddenly felt that he had delayed time, and hurriedly condensed his heart and said: "The child met a gentleman a few days ago, he is the son of Jiannan's interview envoy Xian Yu Zhongtong, called Xian Yu Fuli, yesterday he came to me, saying that there was a maid in his family, who was abducted by that Li Qing, he wanted to report to the official but was afraid of Li Qing's power, so he wanted to ask me to help him go to the government to be accommodating, I think this is an opportunity." , but I didn't dare to be reckless, so I came to ask my father first. ”

"Fresh in Zhongtong!"

Li Linfu couldn't help but have a mocking smile in his eyes, this morning, the emperor also specially named this person as the governor of Nanxi County and Rongzhou (that is, Nanxi County's alias, now Yibin, Sichuan) Governor's Mansion, I heard that it was Li Qing who recommended him, but his son actually wanted to sue Li Qing for abducting and selling girls, which is really a great irony.

"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" Li Linfu looked at his son with great interest, wanting to hear his opinion.

Li Yin's spirits perked, his father finally gave himself the opportunity, he took a deep breath and said: "The child will not be so reckless, only listen to Xian Yu Fuli's words, the child has investigated, this girl is actually Li Qing's concubine, the child thought, what is the use of suing, in the end it is not over, it is better for us to help Xian Yu Fuli kidnap this maid, let this Li Qing taste the pain of a woman being occupied by others." ”

After speaking, he looked at his father hopefully, wanting to get his praise for himself, but Li Linfu only glanced at him and said coldly: "Will he be miserable if he is a concubine?" Even if he suffers, what do you get? And what is the background of that Xian Yu Zhongtong, do you know? I can tell you plainly that if you really hide it from me, I will immediately send you to the official to show my innocence. ”

Li Yin opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Linfu interrupted him, "Originally, I had high hopes for you, thinking that you could inherit my career, but now it seems that I still look down on you, which is really disappointing for my father." ”

Li Yin lowered his head, and after a while, he plucked up the courage to say: "The child doesn't understand, please make it clear to the father."

After a while, Li Linfu said slowly: "Everything you do should pay attention to a purpose, you must be thoughtful, don't just want to be happy for a while, like you, just want to make him miserable, you will be happy, what is the difference between this and the street bandits, splashing the skin and fighting like three indiscriminate, if I am like this, it is better to buy a killer, wouldn't it be more painful to cut him with a knife, the key is no longer here, the key is what you want to achieve." ”

"The child understands a little, so according to the father's opinion, what should be done about this matter?"

Li Linfu sneered, "Xian Yu Zhongtong is Zhang Qiu and Qiong's henchman, and Li Qing is Zhang Qiu and Qiong's protégé, both of whom are members of the Tai Party, if they can take advantage of this opportunity to provoke the internal fighting of the Tai Party, wouldn't this little matter achieve the greatest effect?" According to my Tang Dynasty legal calendar, it is a crime to kidnap other people's slaves privately, you don't need this obvious opportunity, but you want to do illegal things by yourself, leave hidden dangers for yourself, and tie your hands and feet, aren't you stupid? ”

Father's words made Li Yin embarrassed, although he did

machine, but after all, he has not gone through the officialdom, and everything he thinks is still a father's words on the rivers and lakes, which seems to have greatly broadened his horizons and reached another level.

Although Li Linfu reprimanded him, he was not reckless and good at seizing opportunities, but this made Li Linfu satisfied, so he thought about it and said with a smile: "For my father, I decided to let you enter the officialdom for a few years, and then your marriage should be hurried, I will go to the Cui family in two days to ask for marriage, and choose a famous lady for you, and, I heard that the day after tomorrow the poets gathered in Qujiang, although my father didn't like them, but you should still have more contact with them, which is necessary for the accumulation of official reputation." ”

Li Yinxin was secretly happy, he didn't dare to say more, and retreated, at this time, Li Linfu glanced at it, but saw the big butler standing at the door hesitating, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the master, Yang Zhao asked to see him outside the door, saying that there was something important to tell him!"

After talking to He'er for too long, Li Linfu felt a burst of fatigue, who could he see if he wanted to? He waved his hand and just wanted to say no, but suddenly remembered that Yang Zhao actually became Gao Lishi's guard last night, but the words changed when he came to his mouth, "You let him in!" Come to my study."

Yang Zhao naturally came for Liu Ji to sue Du Youlin for rebellion, after coming out of the West Market, he struck while the iron was hot, instigated Liu Ji to write a paper, and personally threw himself into the northern black (Tang sued the secret rebels, Wu Zetian set up), as soon as he turned around, Yang Zhao came to see Li Linfu, this is his real purpose.

The guards led the anxious Yang Zhao into Li Linfu's study, Yang Zhao had also heard about this study, and if it wasn't Li Linfu's henchmen, he couldn't enter, as soon as he entered the study, Yang Zhao 'pounced' and knelt down, "My subordinates have confidential matters to report to Lord Xiangguo." ”

Li Linfu glanced at him, and knelt down as a courtier when he entered his study, he was still the first, and he was a little ashamed, so he said lightly: "Yang join the army!" The old man is not used to kneeling too much. ”

"Yes!" Yang Zhao stood up and said tremblingly: "My subordinates have confidential matters to report to Lord Xiangguo." ”

He thought that as long as he said this, Li Linfu would definitely step forward and punch his shoulder, and then patted himself on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Lord Yang has worked hard." Unexpectedly, Li Linfu was unmoved, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't ask himself what a confidential matter was, Yang Zhao couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but the arrow had been wound, and he was not allowed to send it, Yang Zhao said in a heart: "My subordinates have just discovered a major event, Zuo Xiao's guard Cao Shen military Liu Ji secretly told the East Palace Shanzan Doctor Du Youlin has a heart of rebellion, and often encourages him to ascend the throne too early." ”

Li Linfu didn't seem to hear it, and after a long time, he lazily raised his eyelids and said, "Oh! Yang joined the army to talk to the old man! ”

Yang Zhao seemed to have one foot in the air, his heart sank to the bottomless abyss, he swallowed hard, and his mind was desperately thinking about when he offended Li Linfu? But he didn't remember at all, his legs began to tremble again, and he was about to kneel again.

Li Linfu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Presumably you also know that this official below the fourth grade in my study is not qualified to enter, so why did I invite you to come?" ”

Yang Zhao's voice trembled: "Genus.

"I don't know?"

Li Linfu sneered, "I let you enter this study for the sake of Gao Lishi's face, but my memory is a little bad, and I can't remember when you were transferred to Gao Gonggong's side as a guard?" ”

Yang Zhao suddenly realized that Li Linfu thought that he had betrayed him, and he couldn't help but secretly hate himself for being impatient, and he went to curry favor with Gao Lishi without Li Linfu's consent first.

'Plop' Yang Zhao knelt down again, and sobbed in a low voice: "I, Yang Zhao, can see my loyalty to Xiangguo every day, yesterday was when Gonggong Gao was sick, and he had no one to support, so I temporarily helped, and I never betrayed Xiangguo." ”

After saying that, he kowtowed again and again, and his forehead hit the ground 'Bang Bang!' Straight sound, one is harder than the other, one is heavier than the other, Li Linfu sneered secretly, "Betraying the old man, forgive me and don't dare!" ”

In fact, he just wanted to teach Yang Zhao a lesson, but he didn't dare to really do anything to him, Yang Yuhuan's younger brother Mu Na, can't be the representative of the interests of the Yang family, this Yang Zhao just entered Beijing and entered Jin Wuwei, obviously, Yang Yuhuan chose him as the spokesperson for the interests of the Yang family, maybe he himself doesn't know, but Gao Lishi, Li Heng, Li Linfu and the like are very clear about this, catching him is equivalent to grasping Yang Yuhuan's attitude, which is extremely important, just now Yang Zhao's complaint, he also heard it word for word, he didn't know that this was an opportunity, But Li Linfu's city is extremely deep, and no matter how big the happy event is, it will not be easily shown on his face.

"Arise, then! There are some things you should tell the old man in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

He pointed to his chair and put his signature smile on his face again, "It's time for your head to be knocked out on the ground, sit down and talk." ”

Yang Zhao, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was even more flattered now, and was able to sit and talk face-to-face with Li Xiangguo in the study, as if only officials above the third grade were qualified.

He sat down next to the chair with half of his buttocks, looking at Li Linfu with a weak heart, he didn't know what to say, Li Linfu picked his eyes and shot out two cold and sharp rays, "You explain everything in detail, and you are not allowed to omit anything!" ”

.

When Yang Guozhong stepped into Xiangguo's mansion, on the opposite side of the street, about 300 steps away, under a thick green old tree quietly stood an old merchant wearing a bamboo hat, under the bamboo hat is a lean and oily face, it seems to have experienced vicissitudes, a pair of slightly squinted eyes flashed with a faint light, he waited for about a quarter of an hour, saw that Yang Zhao did not come out, then picked up the camel burden, shook the rattle lightly, shouted twice, and walked leisurely in the direction of the West Market.
