Stick training, but his opponent Li Linfu squinted his slender eyes, crossed his legs, sat on his back in the study and listened to the details of what happened during the day, his face was gloomy, and his elongated nasal groove made his mouth and nose farther apart, like two lovers who parted ways, and his eyes flashed with a vicious gaze from time to time.

He is slightly older than Li Longji, the years have left a deep furrow on his face, these ravines are filled with countless grievances and grievances, all this he knows, he is in his twilight years, he thinks more about the continuation and prosperity of the family, he seems to have walked to the edge of the cliff, behind is Li Longji holding a butcher's knife, there is no way back, in front of him is an abyss, dark and bottomless, and the opposite bank is another beautiful scenery, as long as he jumps over the abyss, his grandchildren can live in the heaven-like world on the other side, To jump over this abyss, you must use a person to build a bridge, and this person is Tai Li Heng.

At this moment, he is like a gambler who does not gamble much, looking for all opportunities, unscrupulous means, and staking all his net worth.

And two things happened today that made him happy and worried, the happy thing is that the king of Guangping did not choose to speak, so that he grabbed a handle of Tai again, he is a party to this matter, it is not appropriate to come forward, and it is not appropriate to hand it over to the hardcore henchman king to do, not to seek immediate results, as long as he casts a haze in Li Longji's heart, it takes a lot of accumulation to bring it down, and it cannot be effective in one day or two days.

At this moment, he is more concerned about Li Qing, who has made great contributions to Nanzhao and returned to Beijing, he has just received the news, the emperor specially met with him in the afternoon, the two talked for two hours, and there was no third person present, not to mention what major things they talked about, just this trust in getting along alone was enough to make him Li Linfu red-eyed.

It seems a bit unbelievable that a small Guoyi Lieutenant can be personally received by the emperor, but it really happened.

Li Linfu's eyes flashed with a faint essence, and he sat deeper in the wide chair, he admitted that he was a little blind, this Li Qing's ruthless methods in Nanzhao really surprised him, at first he, like everyone, thought that Chen Xilie's illness in Nanzhao was a bureau set up by Wei Jian, as the situation slowly developed, as he sent one intelligence after another in the eyeliner arranged by the mission, Li Linfu finally realized that Chen Xilie's poison should be related to Li Qing, this Li Qing is the real protagonist of Nanzhao's affairs, and he and Taidu were placed together by Li Longji.

Although this person is still a lowly official, but from the emperor to meet him alone for two hours, it can be predicted that this person will be reused in the future, for this reason, he must guard against the slightest, now he wants to know how the emperor uses him, and his position, from his cooperation with Wei Jian in Nanzhao; He sent the king of Quang Binh from Tai to meet him; At the scene, Li Heng's father-in-law Du Youlin was found again, and all kinds of signs told him that things might not be good.

"Li Qing! Do you want to eat back grass again? A vicious sneer appeared on the corner of Li Linfu's mouth, not allowing the weak enemy to sit big, this is one of his officialdom principles, take advantage of Li Qing's lack of backstage and capital, kill him as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

"Father, Li Qing might as well leave it to me to deal with, the child is willing to relieve his father's worries!"

Li Yin peeked at his father's face on the side, knowing his father Mo Ruo, his father's nose groove was elongated, this was a precursor that he was going to be ruthless, maybe it was too, maybe it was Li Qing, maybe it was both, and he knew that Li Yin was too much, and he wouldn't be bored. But he is a little sure of Li Qing, they are of the same age as each other, their status is close (Li Yinxun is a genuine Xiao cavalry captain), and he still has a card in his hand, maybe he can deal with Li Qing.

He needs a chance to get ahead, his father's huge family business makes twenty-five sons red-eyed, and the eldest brother Li Guanbai will be a young eunuch (Tang's department in charge of handicrafts), with an innate advantage, no one can compete with him, but in the second position, he Li Yin is not compensable.

Li Linfu saw that he took the initiative to ask for help, and hesitated slightly, he was the most outstanding one in all, and his scheming was quite similar to when he was young, so he decided to find Wang if he couldn't find himself today: It doesn't hurt for him to do it, but Li Linfu has been a Xiangguo for fifteen years and has not fallen, so he naturally has his superiority. When it is slow, it is like an old monk who is settled, and does not show any murderous intentions.

And with Li Qing's performance in Nanzhao, his son may not be an opponent, once he startles the snake, it will be difficult to move again, so it is better to do it himself.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and comforted his son: "My son has this filial piety, and he is very pleased to be his father, but you have no experience in officialdom, and you still don't understand some things, you have been a minister for your father for more than ten years, and there are countless people who have offended, and you will have the opportunity to do it in the future. ”

Seeing his father's refusal, Li Yinxin was disappointed, but he was unwilling, he was just about to plead again, at this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the housekeeper crawled in to report, "Report to the master, the champion general Gao Lishi is visiting!" ”

Li Linfu stood up suddenly, with several expressions of surprise, worry, and surprise on his face, Rao is he has always been calm, but at this moment he is still slightly confused, and he has nothing to do to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Gao Lishi came in person, will it be a trivial matter?

"Quick! Open the door to greet, no! Open the door, open the door to greet! ”

The housekeeper was about to leave when he heard the order, but Li Linfu stopped him again, "And!" Hurry up and let all the ladies go to the backyard, and no one will be allowed to come out without my orders. ”

.

Sycophants are profound knowledge, and it is not blindly touted as good, nor is it subtle and long-term

Time-sharing, touching the state of mind, pay attention to a fast, accurate, appropriate, you have to keep up with the person to the point, and it must be just right, everyone loves to listen to flattery, but not every flattery is pleasant to hear, this is the level of the realm, for example, the famous sycophant line of the ghost translator, 'high! Taijun is really high! 'It seems to be simple and vulgar, but it is actually anti-pure, why not? Ghosts don't understand Chinese, it's better to be straightforward and get to the bottom of it.

Li Linfu is obviously a master of this way, to deal with a heavyweight like Gao Lishi, the most important thing is to pay attention to details, the first is to dismiss the concubines, this is the eunuch's life, with them, no matter how good the sycophant effect will be halved, although Gao Lishi has a wife's room, but after all, it is not humane, if the house is full of fragrant meat array, a group of female porridge and porridge, it will definitely affect the other party's emotions;

Secondly, no matter how big the eunuch is, he is also the servant of the emperor, and his inferiority complex is deep-rooted, so he must lift the other party to a certain height, the key is how to lift, personally go out to greet everyone, and praise must have been tired of hearing Gaolishi, Li Linfu has to do is to open the door to welcome, the door of his house has been opened only a handful of times in the past ten years, unless it is Li Longji or Concubine Wu Hui, even the old Xiangguo and the leader of the altar Zhang Ling visited, at most it was to open the door and open the door for Gaolis, without saying a word, when the red and rusty door opened, making a 'creaky' sound, which is a little more pleasant to the ear than any flattery.

"Ah Weng came to the mansion in person, it really made Peng Shen shine, I said why the magpie under the eaves in the morning is so loud, it turns out that it is because of this, please come in quickly!"

Li Linfu's eyebrows were raised, and his smile was brighter than the spring light in May.

"I'm so ashamed! The door of Xiangguo's Mansion was actually opened for me as a mere palace person, if it spread, everyone would say that I didn't love myself, and the wild history was passed on to add another stroke: 'Gao Lishi visited Li Linfu at night, and the cheeky guest broke into the prime minister's door', wouldn't it make me laugh for a thousand years, and this door will not enter! Don't go in! ”

Gao Lishi said and laughed, and the people walked to the side door, Li Linfu laughed, "Ah Weng is really good at laughing, if you can't even enter Ah Weng, won't my gate rust to death?" ”

After that, he took Gao Lishi's hand and went straight to the gate, Gao Lishi also half-pushed and half-pushed, squinting and feeling the taste of entering the gate of Xiangguofu.

Yang Zhao in the back sighed secretly, when will he be able to walk through the gate of Xiangguo once?

"Awn! I'll just wait at the door. ”

Gao Lishi smiled faintly, nodded, and agreed, but the seemingly superfluous sentence made Li Linfu suddenly find him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, when did this Yang Zhao become Gao Lishi's bodyguard, but at this moment he had no time to worry, he only looked at him deeply, and then pulled Gao Lishi into the door.

Li Linfu invited Gao Lishi into his study, 'women's wardrobe, men's study (there was an extra balcony in later generations)', where the family is a little more affluent, most of the men have their own study, which has nothing to do with learning, it is the man's own world, sitting in the study, those who have a career can ponder the opponents of the shopping mall or the political enemies of officialdom; if you are a little leisure, you can think about the woman who can't dream of it; and if you are really poor, you can also hide in the study to avoid the roar of the lion in Hedong.

Although Li Linfu's knowledge is not big, but his study is more difficult to enter than Li Longji's imperial study, but also more secret, the study layout is simple and bright, rows of bookshelves on the books are new, they are Li Linfu's study in the necessary ornaments, indispensable, a wide red sandalwood bookcase behind a yellowed old rattan chair, both sides of the armrests have been polished shiny. On this old rattan chair, he planned one political conspiracy after another, turning his hands into clouds and raining hands, and the piles were enough to change the color of mountains and rivers.

But today, Li Linfu invited Gao Lishi to come to the study, but it was not all a gesture, but he had already noticed that Gao Lishi had come. The two of them sat around a small green table carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, and the next person served tea, and more than a dozen personal guards stood at the door, and the study was suddenly stormy.

Colliers was tall in stature, but his professional habits made his back a little hunched, and his eyes were fickle, different from person to person, from time to time, and sometimes like a meek sheep, his eyes revealed kindness and weakness; Sometimes it is like a falcon with wings ready to fly high, with sharp eyes that penetrate people's hearts; At this time, his eyes were like a pool of muddy water, so that Li Linfu couldn't see clearly or guess.

Gao Lishi gently picked up the tea tray, took two sips on the edge of the tea cup with the lid of the cup, tasted a sip of tea, and played with this fine fetus and white Xingyao.

Li Linfu was not in a hurry, his eyes drooped, as if he was observing the wine thorn on his huge nose, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with a humble smile, but the air in the room was a little nervous, the two heavyweights of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be playing Tai-level boxing, which seemed to be idle and plain, but there was a hidden edge, these two people had not sat together alone for many years, and when they met today, it was not as simple as drinking a cup of tea.

After being silent for a long time, Gao Lishi put down the teacup, smiled faintly, took out the book from his arms, gently rested it on the table, and nodded his slender and round index finger on it, "This is what the emperor asked me to return to you." ”

Li Linfu was shocked, it turned out that Gao Lishi was ordered by the emperor to return a book, but what a little eunuch could do was let Gao Lishi do it, and he was still sick, Li Linfu's eyes moved to the book, and he couldn't help but gasp, "What is written here?" ”

His hand trembled slightly and picked up the fold, and on the cover it was written Wang: .:|A thought, "Is this the fold that King Shen Guangping insulted himself?"

He looked up at Gollis, but saw that he was drinking tea with his head down, and the water was swirling, and his gaze became hazy, and there was no expression on his face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Li Linfu thought about it again, it shouldn't be, the fastest time to fold is to send it in at dusk

At that time, the emperor had already returned to the inner palace, and he should not have seen it yet.

He remembered something, and hurriedly opened the recital, sure enough, it was the book of impeachment of Li Qing for pretending to pass on the holy decree, there was not a word on it, Li Linfu suddenly felt that his scalp exploded, this is the king: the recital, but the emperor returned it to himself, that is to say, the emperor's heart is clear, it is he who is attacking Li Qing, and letting Gao Lishi come, it is as if he has recrossed his name with a thick pen, he is seriously warning himself not to act rashly against that Li Qing.

But Li Linfu's nervousness was only for a moment, he quickly calmed down, it seemed that the emperor wanted to reuse this Li Qing, "Do you want to train him to deal with yourself?" ”

Although the idea was absurd, the emperor warned himself not to touch him, obviously to push him to the opposite side of himself, he looked at Gao Lishi, and saw that he was still drinking tea, which seemed to be a little longer.

"Ah Weng knows why the emperor wants to give the performance of the imperial envoy to the old man?" Although everyone knows it, the innocent posture still has to be posed.

Gao Lishi didn't answer, but pointed to the teacup and said with a smile: "I like the feel of this cup, is Li Xiangguo willing to cut his love?" ”

"Whatever Aweng said, just take it and go, come on!"

A guard came in to answer, Li Linfu pointed to the cup and said, "Wash it well, put it in my white jade box and send it to Ah Weng!" ”

"Hehe, thank you!"

Gao Lishi stood up with a smile and said goodbye to him, Jue, come back another day to catch up with Xiangguo. ”

Li Linfu saw that Gao Lishi didn't want to say a word, nor did he force him, so he sent him out of the gate, at this time, the sky was already dark, and a waning moon hung in the sky, exuding a faint clear light.

The two of them had just stepped down the stairs, but there was a 'rumble' in the distance! A gorgeous and wide carriage came and stopped not far from Li Linfu, and the guards immediately surrounded Li Linfu, but Li Linfu's eyes flashed a trace of indifference, and he recognized that this was Tai's carriage.

The car door opened, Li Jingzhong came down, gave a deep salute to the two, and pointed to the inside of the car and said: "King Guangping's words collided with Xiangguo, His Royal Highness has beaten him heavily, and now I have sent a gift to Lord Xiangguo for his injuries." ”

"How can this be, how can you scold the child!"

Li Linfu took two quick steps, looked at Li Jiao, who was unconscious in the car, and complained repeatedly: "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, how can I take a child's unintentional words to heart, please go back and tell His Highness, next time it will never be, the dog is also rude, and tomorrow I will also order him to kowtow to His Highness to make amends." ”

After speaking, he shook his head again and again, and said to Gao Lishi: "Aweng! Look at this. Alas! It's all to blame for not speaking up in time. ”

Gao Lishi smiled slightly: "Xiangguo didn't take this matter to heart, so naturally he wouldn't think that he would be too good at beating King Guangping, and Xiangguo can't be blamed for this." ”

He waved his hand to Li Jingzhong again, "Don't delay any longer!" Hurry up and heal the King of Quang Binh. Li Jingzhong agreed, said goodbye, hurriedly got into the carriage, and galloped in the direction of Baisunyuan.

Li Linfu looked at the carriage and sighed in his heart, "In this way, the matter will become a quarrel between children, and Li Heng will dissociate himself from this matter, so let's look for another opportunity!" ”

Gao Lishi didn't seem to take this matter to heart, he boarded the carriage, leaned out of the window and waved to Li Linfu: "The night is cool, Xiangguo go back!" We're all getting older, not as good as before, but we have to take care of our bodies. Ay! The emperor is too, his body has been worse than a year in the past two years, which is really worrying! ”

After speaking, the carriage started slowly, gradually disappearing into the night, as soon as Gao Lishi left, Li Linfu's mind returned to the book.

"The emperor wants to train himself to be a rival!"

He sneered, even if he didn't move him, he would never give him a chance, Li Linfu had already thought of a way, 'Don't be tired of Zhou County, don't be for Taiwan Province', this is customized by Datang, as long as he insists on not letting Li Qing go out and trapping him in Beijing, he will never have a bright future.

However, this Gao Lishi opened the door for him in vain, and he didn't say anything to himself, it seems that he is really biased towards too Li Linfu shook his head in annoyance, and walked towards the mansion surrounded by the guards.

A cool breeze blew, and his mind suddenly became clear, he stopped suddenly, stared straight at the steps, and his mind kept echoing what Gao Lishi said, "The emperor is too, his body has been worse than a year in the past two years, which is really worrying." ’

Li Linfu suddenly realized that Gao Lishi was actually reminding himself that the emperor may not have much time, and he must hurry up!

.

The carriage was speeding in the night, Gao Lishi was half-lying in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, but there was a trace of pride on the corner of his mouth, he knew that Li Linfu would inevitably understand what he said in the end, he was biased towards the Taiyi Party, and it was not wrong that he hoped that Li Linfu could deal with Tai ruthlessly.

It seems to be a contradiction, but in fact, it is too harsh winter, where will you know the preciousness of the spring breeze, and he Gaolishi is this spring breeze.
