Li Linfu's house came out, Gao Lishi did not return to the house immediately, but ordered the city to wander, he also can't remember how many years he hasn't seen the street scene of Chang'an, it seems that it is the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, he once took his old wife to watch the lights on Suzaku Street, this time more than ten years have passed, and Sun is ten years old.

It was already late at night, the night market on Suzaku Street began to close the stalls, and if you don't go back, the door will be closed, and many people are taking advantage of the last moment of the stalls to take out three or five dollars to buy cheap small goods, and each stall is full of people, and the business of the night market is good at the end of the day.

"Lao Wang, go buy me that cloth tiger."

Gao Lishi pointed to a cloth tiger hanging on the stall, smiled and asked the coachman to buy it back for him, this is a gift for Sun, the little guy who pesters him every day to tell stories has become all the hope and sustenance of Gao Lishi, the piece touched the stitches that were sewn densely, and his heart was a little emotional, it took a night to make this cloth tiger, but it was only worth ten dollars, and the wealthy families around him were thousands of miles, and the gap between them was tens of millions of miles.

Gao Lishi shook his head, put the cloth tiger aside, and his thoughts habitually returned to the court, the power struggle in the DPRK has become white-hot, and it will be pointed out by the two factions, and there is no room for ambiguity, but Gao Lishi is an idler who watches the fight in the clouds, on the surface he is just a palace eunuch, and does not participate in court politics, but the fact is Tang politics, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Ge Shuhan, etc., behind these heavyweight ministers, you can see Gao Lishi's figure, and now in the new round of turmoil in the reorganization of power, Gao Lishi

However, this time he saw further, he wanted to lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of his grandson and family, and no one knew Li Longji better than him. The dispute between King Qing and King Yong is just for people. shows that he is indecisive in choosing the lord of the East Palace, but in fact, it is impossible for either King Qing or King Yong to enter the East Palace, no one knows what Li Longji is thinking, even he Gao Lishi does not know, but he can be fine

Gaolishi Dibao was bet on Li Qing's body, to be precise, it was bet on Li Li, the king of Guangping, who was supported by Li Qing, this was an unpopular that no one paid attention to, and Li Qing noticed it. Now he Gao Lishi has also noticed, so pushing the king of Guangping up has become the common goal of Gao Lishi and Li Qing.

At this time, the first round of drums on the Suzaku Gate rumbled, and the people on the street immediately panicked and scattered one after another. The door was closed, but they had to sleep on the streets, and some small traders were no longer in the mood to do business, so they packed up their things haphazardly. He hurried away, and soon the streets were deserted, leaving only scraps of paper and grass tumbling in the wind.

The door was about to close, and with it, the excitement of the Colliers disappeared, and the carriage turned a corner. Head northeast.

Only a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate, and through the window, Gao Lishi suddenly caught a glimpse of the silver light shining on the stone in front of the door, as if it had been coated with silver powder, which was particularly conspicuous in the night, and he smiled faintly, and came to him so late. Think, 'Woo! The ground blew twice, and in the dead of night, a low, shrill flute echoed in the night sky, and in a moment a white shadow appeared on the corner of the street, and quickly knelt down.

"Xing Wei knocks on the general!"

Xing Wei is also the white-clothed assassin who was driven away by King Qing in the Kanamaru case, and he was then caught by Gao Lishi and became a spy directly controlled by Gao Lishi, and his task was to keep an eye on Li Qing and pay attention to the other party's every move.

The report was just a few words, and there was no need to bring him into the mansion, and Gao Lishi didn't lean out of the window, but asked slowly through the car curtain: "What did Li Qing do when he came so late?" ”

"Last night in Jincheng County, two black-clothed people met Li Qing at night, and the time was less than half an hour, and their actions were very strange."

"What kind of man in black?" Colliers couldn't help but be interested.

"They all wore bamboo hats to cover their faces, but from the direction they came from, they should be from the capital."

"Beijing?"

Gao Lishi thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, it doesn't matter what the man in black came to do with Li Qing, the important thing is that Li Qing did not become a bystander, but secretly made a move, this is what he wants, since he has the heart, he can help him.

Gao Lishi smiled slightly, and said to Xing Wei: "You have been with him for so long, presumably he is already very curious about you, you can show up and let him know, let him know who is secretly helping him." ”

"Yes!" Xing Wei responded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Gao Lishi again.

"Send him another message for me, let him come to my house in the next two days, I have something to find him!"

.

Since Yang Guozhong publicly impeached the imperial historian Song Hun for embezzlement and bribery, the delicate balance formed by the Tang Dynasty after the abolition of Tai was broken, and Yang Guozhong suddenly became a political celebrity in the spotlight.

Yang Guozhong has been sleepless for two nights, his voice is hoarse, his eyes are red and swollen, and his body exudes a rotten smell similar to fruit fermentation, but he is extremely excited at the moment, he began to appreciate the infinite scenery on the cusp of the storm, following Wei Jiansu of Dali Temple, Fang Xuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and a number of real power officials such as Taichangqing Zhang Yan have joined the Quasi-Yang Party, and even Pei Kuan has expressed his full support for him to establish Yang

But Yang Guozhong's backlash was also very intense, early this morning, the news came from the Criminal Department, Xianning assassinated Zhao Fengzhang when he passed through the Criminal Department, which was obviously the hand of Luo Xi, the servant of the Criminal Department, Zhao Fengzhang investigated, which gave Li Linfu a precious respite, and more importantly, people saw Li Linfu's strength in this matter, and many people had the intention to take refuge

"A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, Li Linfu has been a prime minister for fifteen years, how can he not have some support, his subordinates thought about it all night, and came up with three strategies for the waiter."

It was Ji Wen who spoke, he was now Yang Guozhong's military advisor, and he was scheming and scheming. He is no less than Li Linfu.

"You say!" Yang Guozhong's eyes were bloodshot. The voice is a little hoarse.

"The best policy is that we use the Song Hundi case to directly impeach Li Linfu for forcibly occupying the people's land and bullying the mountain, which requires gambling on the emperor's determination to deal with Li Linfu, but judging from the fact that Zhao Fengzhang was killed with a cane in the morning, the emperor did not immediately chase it Maybe because the emperor found that most of the courtiers supported Li Linfu, so he wanted to slow down, and his subordinates also thought that this policy was a bit urgent, and if it was not well controlled, it would be devoured. Not

"What about Ce?"

Ji Wen was silent for a long time after saying the best strategy, Yang Guozhong glanced at him, with blame in his eyes, blaming himself for why he was willing to say a little bit before he squeezed a little? But he thought about these three countermeasures all night, if Yang Guozhong didn't take it to heart, wouldn't he have worked hard in vain?

Seeing that Yang Guozhong was quite concerned, Ji Wen smiled apologetically. continued: "The strategy is to cut off his henchmen, and then dig out his heart, step by step, and slowly try to figure it out. Get rid of Wang first:.+ and then make a move on Li Linfu, although this is a little slower, but it is also the safest. ”

"What about the next step?" Yang Guozhong didn't wait for Ji Wen to finish speaking, so he interrupted him and asked him to be safe. Hum! Three years or five years, or wait for Li Linfu to die of natural old age, will it be his turn to be the right prime minister at that time?

Seeing that he was quite impatient, Ji Wen couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said, "The next strategy is to send assassins to attack him, but Li Linfu has to change three places to sleep in one night, I'm afraid it will be too difficult to assassinate." ”

"I'll choose the best policy!" Yang Guozhong made a decision without hesitation, and he smiled coldly: "The emperor has been brewing for many years to overthrow Li Linfu. Now command me to do it, if I slack off or fail. The emperor may hand over this matter to Li Qing again, and when it is decided, it will be decided, and how many things will be defeated on the four words 'Xu Xu Tuzhi'. ”

"But the best policy is too risky, and there are many uncertainties."

"Wealth and danger, if you don't take risks, how can you do big things, and although Zhao Fengzhang is dead, the evidence and Song Hun are still in our hands, there may not be no chance, as for making a noise."

Yang Guozhong lowered his head and thought about it, and a hint of a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I will too!" ”

.

Early the next morning, Yang Guozhong formally requested Li Longji to complain about his uncle Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Yizhi is the male favorite of Wu Zetiandi, and after Wu Zetian's death, Zhang Yizhi was killed by the Li Tang clan, cut his post and chased the knight, and deprived of his family property.

Yang Guozhong made this request at this time, which was intended to test the degree of Li Longji's favor to him, and at the same time, if approved, it would be a huge shock to those lower-level officials who were still undecided.

Things seemed to be developing in favor of Yang Guozhong, and in just half an hour, Li Longji signed his recital, agreeing to Yang Guozhong's request to restore Zhang Yizhi's title.

This news seems to be a thunderstorm in the clear sky, exploding in the sky over Chang'an, Zhang Yizhi, who was designated as a rebel and thief by the first emperor, was actually rehabilitated by the emperor, and only decided within half an hour, indicating that the emperor did not think about this matter at all, which shows that the emperor has a strong hint of good news for Yang Guozhong's holy family.

From the afternoon, a strange scene appeared in front of Yang Guozhong's mansion, hundreds of officials crowded at the door, scrambling to throw their names into the thorn, in order to show their loyalty to Yang Guozhong, by the evening, Yang Guozhong received more than 500 letters of nomination.

The first battle was won, Yang Guozhong immediately struck while the iron was hot, and the next day he again proposed to thoroughly investigate the case of Li Linfu's forcible occupation of land, Li Longji pretended to regret, and finally took Zhang Qiu and Qiong as a precedent, and reluctantly agreed to form a low-level task force by Dali Sizhi, Supervising Yushi, and Criminal Department Lang to investigate the case.

The handling seems to be a bit tepid, but the important thing is the attitude, and the discerning person can see at a glance that the emperor has begun to attack Li Linfu.

Yang Guozhong's rise to power is also an opportunity for his family to get ahead, his wife Pei Rou has long disdained those heavy copper coins, she began to change sex, and also learned Yang Huahua's interest in gold and silver, she especially loves jewelry, and loves that dazzling feeling.

And the fate of Chang Yang Xuan also began to change, after Tianbao five years of imperial examination, Yang Xuan was sent to the palace as a guard, with Yang Guozhong's silence, he also spent two years with his tail between his legs.

But since the Yang family began to gain momentum last year, he has also been running from time to time, surrounded by a large group of admirers every day, and he can't listen to endless flattery. Ask for money and get money. If you want a woman to have a woman, even when the concubine Zhang Yan saw him, he had to affectionately call him 'Da Lang', and gradually, the arrogance in Yang Xuan's bones began to be revealed.

In the past few days, Yang Xuan met a big merchant in the Western Regions surnamed Luo, with a long beard, a red and black face, and an eggplant-like rosacea. It is a typical Hu people in the Western Regions.

He was extremely generous, and he sold thousands of dollars for Yang Xuan overnight, at first Yang Xuan didn't care very much, there were many people who spent money for him! But this Hu Shang, surnamed Luo, was quite creative and found a few blonde and blue-eyed Da Qin beauties (Da Qin is him. As for his origin, Yang Xuan doesn't care very much, businessman! It's just for profit, and let his father get him some privileges in the future. Or let his father seal him a west

At dusk that day, Yang Xuan brought more than a dozen palace guards who patted him on the back to the Jade Tower to drink as usual, Luo Hushang had already booked a seat, and more than a dozen prostitutes who accompanied the wine also sat down one by one. Yang Xuan was in high spirits, and before he knew it, he drank more than a dozen glasses in a row, and the alcohol was on his head, and he tore the skirt of the prostitute who accompanied the wine into two pieces, and the woman screamed and was naked

Laugh. The other brethren were unbearable to see it, and they also took advantage of the wine. The prostitutes touched their breasts and looked ugly.

"General Yang is free-spirited, and he is really a husband, come! I toast you. ”

Luo Hushang laughed and raised his wine glass high, "Tonight, I made a deposit of thousands of yuan, and Chu Lianxiang, the top brand of the Jade Tower, will accompany General Yang to spend the night. ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, shouting and about to disperse, Luo Hushang saw that he was in a hurry, and secretly sneered in his heart, the opportunity he was waiting for had come.

Needless to say, Luo Dongzhu's approach to Yang Xuan was Li Qing's task to Wu Xingsu, he was surnamed Luo, but he was not a businessman, but a subordinate of Wu Xingsu, a man who was a man of the Broken Turp and was proficient in the Chinese languages of the Western Regions, this time he played the role of a merchant and approached Yang Xuan.

Although Yang Xuan is usually arrogant, but at most he oppresses the good, he can only say that his behavior is disorderly, and it is not yet a crime.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter next door, vaguely mixed with a woman's coquettish laughter, this is a few officials drinking and having fun, although Yang Xuan drank too much, but he didn't listen to his mind and a trace of sobriety, he heard his voice, he was just about to stand up to say hello, but was stopped by Luo Hushang, called the old bustard at the door, and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, the time has come, go and ask Miss Lianxiang to come over!" ”

The old bustard's face was embarrassed, although she had seen Yang Xuan, but she didn't know that he was Yang Guozhongzhi, but this Hu Shang was generous, which made her embarrassed, the time he set had indeed come, but Miss Lianxiang was still drinking with a few court officials next door, they refused to let go, and the old bustard did not dare to offend them.

"Wait, this man! They were the great officials of the court. After speaking, she glanced at Hu Shang, and the implication was that he was an official, and you were a foreigner, so you couldn't afford to offend.

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the guards jumped up, gave her a big mouth, and scolded viciously: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't look at who my general is." ”

"Yang Ye's woman, who dares to rob it!" More than a dozen guards jumped up one after another, and with the strength of the wine, shouted there, "Let's go and get her back." ”

Yang Xuan was also drunk, and slowly rolled up his sleeves, forgetting that his master Zhao Yue was also next door, which was what he was going to do to say that those prostitutes saw that the situation was not good, so they quietly slipped out of the door one by one, but at this time, Luo Hushang stopped him again and persuaded: "General Yang, they are all Li Xiangguo's people, it is better to endure it!" ”

"Bear with a fart, Li Linfu is about to finish, and you can bear with him what to do!" The guards were even more angry, and they were all eager to try, just waiting for Yang Xuan to give an order to do it.

mentioned the faction, but Yang Xuan reacted, Zhao Yue is obviously his master, when will he become a person from Xiangguo?

Luo Hushang seemed to know his thoughts, and said with a smile: "General Yang doesn't believe my words? Like Hubu Lang Zhao Yue, he was picked up by Li Xiangguo, if he was not a person from Xiangguo, how could he be promoted after Tianbao's five-year imperial examination? ”

A sentence reminded Yang Xuan, he sat down slowly, it is true, Tianbao's five-year imperial examination case, his father was deposed, and Zhao Yue, who caught the knife and gave him ideas, was unexpectedly promoted from a member of the Ministry of Officials to a Ministry of Officials, could it be that he was really sent by Li Linfu to his father?

The impression is preconceived, the more Yang Xuan thinks about it, the more likely it is, his father once told himself that everything in the imperial examination case was expected by Li Linfu, and there must be Li Linfu by his side, but he didn't expect it to be Zhao Yue, a kind of hatred that was deceived and plotted arose, and a kind of vengeful anger was burning in his chest, Yang Xuan was originally an arrogant person, and now he drank wine again, and then mixed with the hatred of winning beauty, the brothers next to him were shouting loudly, Yang Xuan's face was blue and white for a while, and his fists were clenched with a rattling sound.

At this time, Luo Hu Shang saw that the time was ripe, so he finally provoked again: "Li Xiangguo is so powerful that he can't afford to offend!" General Yang should bear with it! ”

This sentence was like a pot of fire oil poured down, Yang Xuan's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and his hair stood on end, almost exploding.

"Fart!" Yang Xuan kicked the table away, his eyes shot murderous, he rushed to the door like a whirlwind, waved his hand, and shouted viciously: "Brothers, follow me to clean them up!" ”

These guards are all people around the emperor, usually lawless, and they are used to running rampant in Chang'an, since Yang Xuan has an order, they are even more hardworking, murderously kicking open the next room, rushing in, and fighting without asking indiscriminately, there is a cry of pain and angry reprimands in the room, mixed with women's exclamations.

Luo Hu Shang saw that the opportunity came, so he walked to the end of the corridor and secretly made a gesture, the room at the end of the corridor immediately flashed two people, walked quickly to the door, pretending to see the excitement, but two daggers shook out of his sleeves, exactly the same as the daggers worn by the guards, Luo Hu Shang turned around and rushed back to the room to take away a few daggers left by the guards, just walked down the stairs, only to hear two screams from above, and then there was silence, he knew that he had succeeded, took a few steps, and soon disappeared on the crowded Chunming Street.

In less than half an hour, Yang Guozhong's Yang Xuan committed murder in the Qunyulou, and the news of killing Hubu Lang Zhao Yue spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an like having wings, as if an appointment, restaurants, inns, teahouses, there are people everywhere who are painting and telling the details of this, the reason is that Yang Xuan and Zhao Yue competed for Chu Lianxiang, the top red prostitute of the Qunyu Building, Yang Xuan could not compete and killed in anger.

This kind of peachy news is more interesting, the rumors are getting more and more rapid, Wannian County is the king: the younger brother, he is the first to take the lead, personally led people to seize the jade building, arrested the old bustard, turtle Gong and other parties, several seriously injured officials were also brought back to the county government to record confessions, and then ran to the Xiangguo Mansion to report to Li Linfu, Li Linfu was anxious at this time, he suddenly heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears, after a while, he held his hands to the sky and laughed, "God really help me!"
