That night, Li Linfu on the grounds of being a young one-year-old, invited some courtiers to the house for a small gathering, all the prime minister's party backbone, gathered together, about twenty or thirty people, the lobby was noisy, the nurse took the child out to catch Zhou, grabbed an official seal, and caused a burst of exclamations, the tiger father naturally has no dogs, Li Linfu only smiled at the beard, he saw that the time had come, so he quietly retreated under the pretext of changing clothes.

The lights in Li Linfu's inner study are dim, the curtains are tightly drawn, and the guards are tight, and in the room, several core figures are gathered in one place to ponder and be silent, waiting for Li Linfu's arrival.

They are all people trusted by Li Linfu, including Chen Xilie, the left-handed minister who is plain and old; There is a slender and handsome and dignified official Yang Shenjin; There is a ruthless and ruthless king, who doesn't know what mercy is:=|Wen。

But today there is an unknown Jin Wuwei joined the army Yang Zhao, although there is no size on the wine table just now, but that refers to the time when the wine is hot, and at this moment the wine has been awakened and the banquet has been withdrawn, everyone has to look at Yang Zhao, who is small but extremely active at the wine table, full of sycophants.

After returning from Nanzhao, this general raised for half a month, and only then did he slowly recover his male function, and he was like a rejuvenating reptile, and he traveled through the wife and concubine workshop, for Yang Zhao, who was also a male and dared to come to him close to him, Chen Xilie still maintained his prime minister's demeanor, and did not send someone to beat him out of a stick, but turned a blind eye to him, and occasionally snorted, "It's nothing more than a cousin who is spoiled, a nepotistic person, who dares to call the old man a brother!" ’

At this time, there was a light cough not far away, Li Linfu's long figure appeared at the door of the study, everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed, Li Linfu smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down, "The old man is late, let you wait for a long time." ”

"If Lord Xiangguo doesn't come, what's the matter if I wait for a year?"

The voice was sharp, the tone was impassioned, there was a lot of momentum that I don't go to hell who will go to hell, everyone looked at Yang Zhao angrily, this person is also shameless, a sycophancy all the time, he himself has to wait for 10,000 years and no one pays attention to him, he wants to pull everyone to back, Li Linfu smiled slightly, pulled Yang Zhao over and introduced everyone again: "This Lord Yang Zhao Yang, everyone must have known each other at the wine table, I will introduce him here again, Princess Yuzhen's cousin, the future is immeasurable, everyone will take care of him in the future." ”

Yang Shenjin glanced at Yang Zhao, but sneered: "Yang is witty and lively in the army, he has introduced himself to everyone during the meal, he is good at drinking, gambling and lustful but not easy to learn, the officialdom will be able to play with ease, how can we take care of it, but there is Princess Yuzhen as a backer, and I have to ask Lord Yang to take care of us more in the future." ”

Everyone slapped their palms and laughed together when they heard this, "That's right! That's right! ”

Li Linfu saw that Yang Zhao's face turned the color of pig liver, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Yang Shilang didn't treat you as an outsider when he said this, it's not bad to make jokes and enliven the atmosphere, and when I talk about business, I'm afraid my study will become a cold cave, everyone please sit down, they are all your own people, you are welcome." ”

Hearing the word 'business', everyone's smile gradually faded, and they each found a place to sit, Xiangguo thought that the young office was one year old in the name of summoning everyone, I'm afraid the matter is not trivial, last year was also at this time, Chang'an County ordered Liu Sheng to report the case, Li Linfu summoned everyone in the name of concubine, held a meeting, worked together, and finally overthrew Li Shizhi, degraded Han Chaozong, and almost forced Tai to death, if it weren't for Chengdu Li Dao's comeback, now sitting in the East Palace, maybe it won't be Li Heng. And at the gathering again today, everyone guessed that it must be for the Taizhang Du Youlin case that made a lot of noise today, and everyone knows that this Donggong case is much more serious than the Liu Sheng case last time, as long as the strategy is right, the possibility of Tai Li Heng being abolished is very great.

Li Linfu sat on his old rattan chair, half-closed his eyes, and pondered for a while before saying: "I am looking for two things for you today, one is the Du Youlin case, the emperor has already expressed his position and wants to take this opportunity to purge a group of officials, so he ordered me to strictly review it, I think since the emperor handed over the case directly to me, instead of handing it over to the imperial history platform, I am afraid that he still wants to clean the officials of the East Palace and suppress the Tai Party to a minimum, so I want to finalize a list with you." ”

Without waiting for Li Linfu to finish speaking, Chen Xilie held himself on to his qualifications, stood up with a smile and added for Li Linfu: "Especially to catch the first evil, Wei Jian, Xi Yu, Lu Jingrong, Zhang Yun, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Siye, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Huangfu Weiming, these people are the focus, and they can't be let go this time." ”

After saying a few words, he saw that everyone was silent, no one should be with him, and his heart suddenly felt bad, and then looked at Li Linfu, although the smile on his face was still the same, but his eyes were cold, his heart was weak for a while, and he hurriedly smiled: "This is my personal humble opinion, just for your reference and reference." ”

Li Linfu was slightly unhappy when he saw him interrupting his words, but his face did not show it at all, he only smiled and said: "There is not much time now, I have to make a long story short, you can go back and prepare a copy, and hand it over to me tomorrow, as long as you remember one principle, mediocrity, incompetence, and old age should not move, only pick some shrewd and capable, and also seize their handles." ”

Li Linfu's eyes swept away, but when he saw that Yang Shenjin wanted to speak and stopped, he said unhappily: "Shenjin, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't spit out." ”

"Lord Xiangguo, there is indeed one under him

"Speak!"

Yang Shenjin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now that the two parties are clearly separated, the emperor uses the west to fight the east, and then uses the east to suppress the west, so as to maintain a balanced situation. ”

'The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey cooks. This is the iron law that has not changed through the ages, Yang Shenjin's words stabbed Li Linfu's heart, and also stabbed the hearts of everyone present, at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Niu Xianke helped Li Linfu to bring down the prime minister Zhang Ling, abolished Li Ying, so that the prime minister's party power was temporary, but it was also jealous of the emperor, not long after, Niu Xianke suddenly fell ill and died, and then Li Heng's henchman Li Shizhi sat in the position of left minister.

This is only a few years ago, the blood is still smellable, how everyone doesn't understand, the room is silent, everyone is thinking about their own thoughts, at this time, sitting at the end, has been cold and silent Dali Temple Shaoqing Ji Wen raised his hand and said: "Lord Xiangguo, I have a plan to get rid of this decadence." ”

When Li Linfu heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Ji Shaoqing is just a blockbuster, tell me about it, your clever plan." ”

Ji Wen is also a person with a long body and an elegant temperament, he got up and bowed slightly to everyone first, and said: "Shicai Yang Shilang also said, what the emperor wants is just a balance of power between the government and the opposition, it is better for us to support another party, so that after the Tai Party is weak, the government and the opposition can still maintain a balance, so that the emperor will not embarrass us too much." ”

Ji Wen's words seemed to suddenly open a window in a closed room, which made everyone's ears and eyes refreshed, but the most shocking thing was Li Linfu, he seemed to have suddenly found a third way between the dilemma, his heart was agitated, and he was almost about to hug Ji Wen over and make love, but this matter is very important, it is not appropriate to talk about it at this time, Li Linfu smiled faintly, motioned for Ji Wen to sit down, and said slowly to everyone: "This is a matter of the future, don't mention it now, what we have to do now is still this Du Youlin case, what I said just now, Each of you goes back and prepares a list, which is the main task for me to gather you today, and it must be handed over to me tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing that Xiangguo was cautious, everyone agreed,

Li Linfu turned his head to look at Chen Xilie, and said to him slowly: "Chen Xiangguo, I know that you hate Nanzhao, so you can't forget Wei Jian, but I tell you the truth, with Wei Jian's famous background, he would not have thought of that kind of vicious method, and there is actually someone else who harmed you in Nanzhao, this person is Li Qing, the Sheng's Guoyi Lieutenant, but he is not a little Guoyi Lieutenant immediately, this is another thing I asked you to discuss." ”

Everyone was moved when they heard this, a small Guoyi Lieutenant actually needed a special meeting of Xiangguo to deal with it, Li Xiangguo's move was a bit of a fuss, Chen Xilie was still half-convinced, but his eyes began to be fierce, and Yang Zhao was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close, as if his chin was dislocated, but Wang's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of his mouth sneered slightly, he saw that Li Linfu gave him a look, so he got up and briefly told everyone what happened in the morning, and finally said: "Everyone, Xiangguo doesn't look down on this person, Regardless of officialdom qualifications or officialdom experience, this person is still only immature, not very old, and now there will not be much to do, so you don't have to be too nervous, but people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, Xiangguo means to take precautions, if this person does not take precautions early, it will become a big trouble in the future! ”

Speaking of which, Wang:+.

Li Linfu nodded, and said to everyone with a smile: "Wang Yushi did say what was in my heart, although Li Qing has made a little contribution to Nanzhao and is valued by the emperor, but his qualifications are still shallow, and he can't be compared with everyone here, but this person does have a bit of skill, I am worried that he will become the backbone of the Tai Party in the future, so we must take precautions early, and tomorrow morning the emperor is very likely to discuss the reward of Nanzhao." He stretched his voice and said, "Chen Xiangguo! ”

Chen Xilie was still thinking about what happened in Nanzhao, and when he suddenly heard Li Linfu calling him, he was shocked, and hurriedly stood up and responded humbly: "Is Xiangguo calling me?" ”

In front of so many people, it was not easy to sweep his face, Li Linfu's half-closed eyes almost narrowed into a slit, "Above Ming Heaven, I will take the lead against Li Qingwai's release as an official, and the rest of the matter will be led by Chen Xiangguo, remember!" Li Qing can be an official, but he can only be an official in departments such as the Ministry of Rites, the East Palace, and the Prince's Mansion that have no real power and real positions, and he must not be allowed to gain real power, this is the bottom line. ”

Li Linfu sighed again, "It's a pity that we still know too little about this person, otherwise if we point out a little more about his problems, the emperor would not dare to use him again." ”

Yang Zhao has been silently listening to Li Linfu talk about Li Qing, he suddenly felt jealous of Li Qing in his heart, Li Linfu appreciated that he only regarded him as an eagle dog and a minion, but he regarded Li Qing as an enemy and an opponent, the difference in treatment made Yang Zhao feel a deep sense of loss in his heart, he saw Li Linfu sighing that he didn't understand Li Qing, and his heart moved, as if he saw a great opportunity to be appreciated by Li Linfu, but doing so would betray Li Qing, Yang Zhao really felt a dilemma.

'Well, no poison, no husband! It's still your own future that matters. ’

He finally gritted his teeth, raised his hand and said loudly: "Lord Xiangguo, I know Li Qing's old background clearly. ”
