The person who delivered the goods was Li Linfu's chief of guard, and the things had been delivered, but he was wandering outside the door, refusing to leave, at this time, Qing King Li Cong hurriedly came out of the house, and Li Linfu's chief of guard immediately stepped forward and bowed half-kneeling, handed over a letterhead:

"Your Royal Highness, these seasonal fruits and vegetables are specially sent to the princes with the permission of Li Xiangguo with the permission of the emperor, this is the list, please take a look at it."

Where does the list still need to be seen by him personally, although Li Cong is more stupid, but the meaning of this letter is very clear in his heart, shake open the letterhead, through the faint light of a few large lanterns on the door, he quickly glanced at the contents of it, and then put the letter close to his body, his face was slightly elongated and said: "Please tell Li Xiangguo, his kindness is understood by the king, and I have my own measure in some things." ”

After that, Li Cong turned around and walked back to the house, and Wang Junshi, who had been waiting here, immediately greeted him and asked urgently, "What did Xiangguo say?" ”

"There is only one line of poetry, what 'the fish in the south of the Yangtze River is fat in early spring, and the depths of the lotus pond do not want to return.'" ”

Li Cong handed him the letter, and said in a displeased tone: "If you want me to kill Li Qing, you will say it clearly, but it is vague and vague, and there is no sincerity at all, how can you cooperate with him?" ”

Wang Junshi smiled and persuaded Li Cong: "This is the true character of a politician, not emotional, everything is based on interests, now he is being impeached, the emperor's attitude is still unclear, it is right to be cautious, if it is written too clearly, once the letter falls into the hands of political enemies, it will not be good for him or His Royal Highness, in fact, this Zhong person is easy to get along with, once there are interests connected, he will do his best to help you." ”

Li Cong was already obedient to his military advisor, and after listening to him be reasonable, Li Cong's tense face began to ease, he read the letter carefully, frowned and said: "I want to kill Li Qing more because of personal vendetta, but Xiangguo also wants to kill him quickly, what is the reputation in this?" ”

"It's very simple, Li Xiangguo was forced too hard by the Zhang Qiu Party, and he wanted to make the backyard of the Zhang Qiu Party catch fire, which was what he wanted to do three years ago but didn't do, and he didn't do it until today."

"He's using me?"

Wang Junshi looked up and smiled, "Sometimes being used by others is not necessarily a bad thing, at least he will work hard with you to complete the matter, but it's a pity.

Li Cong's heart tightened, "What is a pity? ”

Wang Junshi walked to the top of the steps with his hands behind his back, looked up at a cold crescent moon, and said slowly for a long time: "It's a pity that Li Qing is not so easy to deal with, the little prince is by no means his opponent, and I have to go to Suzhou in person to make a trip to Suzhou in person." ”

.

A carriage drove out of the Xuanwu Gate, galloping on the Chengtianmen Street in the imperial city, a hundred heavily armed guards were closely guarded on both sides of the carriage, and the hundred officials in Chang'an were allowed by Li Longkit to have guards to protect them, only two people, one was Li Linfu, the right minister, and the other was Li Qing, the head of the household, Li Qing was far away in Suzhou at the moment, and it was Li Linfu who was naturally sitting in this carriage.

Three years ago, due to the trouble caused by the scholars in the Suzaku Gate, which seriously interfered with the operation of the imperial court's government affairs, some important institutions, such as the Book Province, the Palace Province, the Imperial History Tower, the Menxia Province, the Hongguan, the History Museum, etc., moved back to the outer hall of the Daming Palace.

Li Linfu is a book order, naturally not in the imperial city office, at the moment he just returned to the house, to be fair, in history Li Linfu has been the prime minister for nearly 20 years, if there is no superhuman ability and energy, he can not cope with heavy official duties, Tianbao is a special historical period in the later period, the absence of a strong monarch has led to the vicious internal friction of the bureaucracy, in this kind of situation, keeping the position of power is far more important than paying attention to the people's livelihood, and then there was the Anshi Rebellion, so the reproachful eyes of later generations often turn to Li Linfu, accusing him of being virtuous and jealous, blindly promoting Hu generals, this is inevitably biased.

Compared with Li Longji's clever political layout, Li Linfu is more proficient in the tactics of one game and one domain, and the situation in the DPRK is in a kind of temporary calm before the storm, the court is calm, the court is calm, but the tension before the big event is almost overwhelming, and the hearts of all the people involved are in their throats.

Tired Li Linfu closed his eyes and half lay in the carriage, swaying gently with the car, he has been in the sea for a long time, and has already practiced the ability to fight the wind and waves, in the stormy waves, if it is too late to get out, then choose to go to the heart of the wind and waves, all kinds of forces converge here, if handled properly, let the various forces cancel each other out, the heart of the wind and waves is calm, but this requires superb skills, to be good at finding opportunities in various crises.

Li Linfu is one of the few people with this kind of superb skill, in front of him is Xianning assassin Zhao Fengzhang impeached him for forcibly seizing land, all kinds of evidence is readily available, and behind Zhao Fengzhang, it is his political enemy Zhang Qiu and Qiong; And behind him is Yang Guozhong, the upstart of the dynasty, a courtier with an extremely hard background but shallow roots, eager to replace him; On the left is the East Palace, where Li Heng is in danger; On the right is King Yongwang of Qing sharpening his knife Huo Huo, scrambling to enter the main East Palace, the undercurrent is surging, all kinds of crises converge before and after him, and Li Linfu's clever means are revealed at this time.

On the one hand, he took advantage of the opportunity when Li Longji was anxious to abolish the Taitai and had no time to take care of it, first wrote to ask for the crime of lax discipline, and then seized Zhao Fengzhang to go in and out of the chapter many times

This handle was widely publicized in Beijing, revealing the relationship between the two, and the crime turned into an internal power struggle between political enemies, and let his cronies Song Hun take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Xianning to investigate the case, and he gambled that Li Longji did not want to abolish the prince and dismiss the prime minister at the same time, and sure enough, for the stability of the society, Li Longji finally agreed to Song Hun's request, and the initiative in this case gradually fell into the hands of Li Linfu.

Not only that, in order to make Zhang Qiu and Qiong's backyard catch fire, Li Linfu took advantage of King Qing's hatred for Li Qing, instigated him to attack Li Qing, and disrupted Zhang Qiu and Qiong's deployment.

Going deeper, Li Linfu actually supported King Yong's coming to power, and he gradually saw Li Longji's purpose of abolishing Taitai, and even Li Heng, who has always been low-key and forbearing, couldn't tolerate it, would he still choose the ambitious Li Cong? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Li Longji also considers King Qing, but Li Cong is taking the route of the Yang family, is he Li Linfu willing to be this cow queen?

Using King Qing to deal with Li Qing, killing two birds with one stone, this is his Li Linfu's strategy and means.

The carriage was galloping on the wide Suzaku Street, and suddenly the carriage trembled, the speed became slower and slower, and gradually stopped, and there was the neighing of the horses and the scolding of the guards in front of him, Li Linfu's face sank, and he said out the window: "Go and see, who dares to spread wild on Suzaku Street?" ”

After a while, the guard came back and reported: "Yu Xiangguo, it's General Ge Shuhan, he wants to ask to see Xiangguo." ”

'He is not in Longyou to defend Tibet, what is he doing in Beijing? Li Linfu touched his huge nose, and Ge Shuhan's unexpected appearance made him a little suspicious, and secretly thought: "Now that the emperor has arrested Wang Zhonghei and locked up Li Heng, there has been no movement, it seems to be waiting for something, and now Ge Shuhan suddenly appeared in this bone eye, is it him who the emperor is waiting for?" ”

Thinking of this, Li Linfu ordered: "Bring him over!" ”

With the sound of heavy and rhythmic footsteps, a black-faced general with a majestic figure appeared in front of Li Linfu's car window, he was none other than Ge Shuhan, a famous Tang general in history.

'The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night. So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao. ’

Ge Shuhan, a member of the Western Turkic Geshu tribe, his father Geshu Daoyuan is the leader of the Geshu tribe, and was the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and his mother Wei Chi is the princess of Khotan, he is a righteous and squandering wealth, righteous and heavy, and likes to drink and gamble, until he was forty years old and still has nothing to do, wandering on the streets, because he was ridiculed when he was in Chang'an for his father's wake, so he was angry and angry, and he went to Hexi to join the army, promoted all the way, and after the first battle to defend Shibao City last year, he replaced Dong Yanguang's position and was promoted to the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu. At this moment, he was entrusted by the generals of Longyou to come to Chang'an alone to intercede for Wang Zhonghei.

"The last general, Brother Shuhan, see Lord Xiangguo!" At this time, Ge Shuhan was nearly fifty years old, but he was tall and burly, no different from a thirty-year-old man in the prime of life.

"General Geshu, you are running horses on Suzaku Street late at night, but Longyou is in a hurry?"

Ge Shuhan didn't dare to hide Li Linfu, he bowed down and gave a salute, and said respectfully: "The 200,000 soldiers of Longyou and Hexi heard that the king envoy was in prison, and specially recommended me to intercede with the emperor. ”

Li Linfu looked at this Turkic general who was about to replace Wang Zhonghe, and he suddenly had a glimmer of realization, the emperor has not completely solved the problem of Wang Zhonghe, and the key to this is this Ge Shuhan?

Thinking of this, he laughed wickedly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said, "Does General Geshu also want to hide it from the old man?" It is obviously an order to enter Beijing, but it is said that it is a soldier's recommendation, which is really ridiculous. ”

Ge Shuhan's face changed greatly, he couldn't help but take a step back, bowed his head and said in fear: "The last general did not lie, it was indeed the generals who came below, and the king made the king deeply win the hearts of the army. ”

Where can his every move be hidden from Li Linfu's sharp eyes, Li Linfu's heart has fully understood, 'The army is not convinced,' I'm afraid this is the key to the problem, he no longer broke it, and said with a smile: "Then you can go quickly!" A little later, the emperor will go to bed peacefully. ”

"Yes! The last general will go to Xingqing Palace. ”

Looking at Ge Shuhan's distant back, Li Linfu fell into deep thought, the waste lady had already come to the last step, then it was time for him to hurry up, he took out a rattle from under the saddle, shook it gently, and the crisp bell pierced the night sky.

In a moment, a black shadow floated in, like a strange black cat, kneeling in front of the carriage and whispering: "My subordinates knock on Xiangguo!" ”

"Go to Suzhou Wangchun Tea House, naturally someone will arrange it for you."

Li Linfu took a ring from his hand, handed it to him and said coldly: "You missed the golden pill, don't let me down again this time." ”
