Chapter 153: The East Palace Case (7)

It's deep, the people are gradually dispersed, and only Wang is left in Li Linfu's study:~, they are secretly left by Li Linfu, if the few people who held the meeting just now are the backbone and confidants of the Prime Minister's party, then the two of them are Li Linfu's henchmen and confidants, and they are the people he trusts the most.

Ji Wen is about thirty years old, just in the prime of life, he is a Jinshi born, because of his appearance is rich and handsome, he was liked by the Tang Emperor Li Longji, who was heavy on appearance, and stayed in Dali Temple as an official, and because of his harsh criminal law, Li Linfu looked at it, and gradually became a confidant.

The illness is just right, Li Linfu's spirit is still relatively weak, this day's hard work makes him really feel very tired, but today's work is a habit that Li Linfu has cultivated for many years, tomorrow is May 15, it is the day of the great dynasty, too many things need to be arranged by him, all the details must be considered, and there can be no negligence.

Li Linfu said to Ji Wen with a strong spirit: "You now go back to Dali Temple to interrogate Du Youlin, let him provide a confession, and let him report that Li Qing has the heart to establish himself as a king in the east, this matter must be done tonight, and send me a confession, there must be no mistakes." ”

Ji Wen nodded in response, and immediately left, Wang: u. Li Linfu said: "Enxiang, Du Youlin did not go to the east, I am afraid that the emperor will not believe this confession." ”

Wang: It is the representative of the Wang family, and the deposition of Empress Wang was a deliberate and decisive decision of the Li dynasty. It means the end of the century-old era of the Guanlong clan, and the political significance is very far-reaching, and it is by no means the result of the jealousy of the harem depicted in some later film and television dramas. 'A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff', the king is the one foot of the Wang family that has not yet stiffened.

Li Linfu glanced at him and sneered slightly: "I naturally know that he won't believe it, but with this confession, I can speak out against his release." ”

Li Linfu's eyes had narrowed into a slit, flickering with an elusive dark light. The elongated nose groove made his smile even more eerie, and he said to himself, "Besides, I don't believe he really doesn't care?" ”

King:.. However, to let Eun Xiang deal with him personally, his subordinates feel that he should feel honored. ”

Li Linfu smiled. "That's not true, I'm still in the ministry, so I naturally have to express my opinion on major personnel arrangements."

He diverted the subject, and asked the king, "#äș†?" ”

"Eun Xiang rest assured! This matter has been done, when Cui Guangyuan was scolding Xian Yu Fuli for false accusations, his subordinates secretly ordered the person who did it to beat him with an extra hundred sticks, and Xian Yu Fuli was killed with a rod on the spot, and the subordinates who did it have also been properly dealt with. ”

Wang: #ćŸ…ćéƒšć€„çœź. ”

"Well done!"

Li Linfu breathed a sigh of relief. He walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hand, and suddenly stared at Wang: "What do you think of Yang Zhao?" ”

Wang: + Use him. ”

Yang Zhao first betrayed Liu Ji to cause Du Youlin's case, and then betrayed his old friends in order to climb up the capital

Li Linfu nodded, "I can see it a long time ago, you are right, it is easy to overturn the hearts of villains." This person really needs to be careful. ”

King::. L

Li Linfu smiled faintly, "Maybe you don't know yet, there has been a message from the palace, Princess Yuzhen is about to be named a concubine, the emperor has neither a queen nor a concubine, then she is the de facto queen, she is now young, beautiful and favored, so what will happen when she is old and declining?" Therefore, if you want to be a long-term person in the harem since ancient times, you must have the support of your relatives, and I think Yang Yuhuan is no exception, who is her relatives? Can't you think of it? ”

Wang: >

Li Linfu nodded slowly, the gaze in his eyes overflowed with the pride of an uncertain prophet, "Yes, it's him!" ”

Li Linfu slowly walked to the window, staring at the night outside the window, a full moon like a disk, passing through the mist-like clouds, as if this looming moonlight, since the honor of the Yang family is inevitable, then they must be pushed to the opposite side of the Tai for their own use, this is why he Li Linfu regarded Yang Zhao, who had only taken refuge for a few days, as the fundamental reason for his heart.

"But can this Yang Zhao really be controlled by himself?" Li Linfu also had a faint worry in his heart.

.

The night is deep, a round of bright full moon hangs in the sky, the cold light is shining, the clear light is pouring out, the moonlight is like light blue water, flowing all over the sky, like an endless silver waterfall falling to the world.

Yang Zhao bathed in the miserable white moonlight, proudly walked along Chunming Avenue to the west, reminiscing about Li Linfu's praise in his mind, although this praise was obtained at the expense of his brother, but Yang Zhao did not feel guilty at all, Yang Zhao's biggest feature in his life is that he is good at grasping opportunities, as for whether this opportunity violates the bottom line of loyalty, he doesn't care, what he cares about is whether this opportunity can bring him the greatest benefits, in his opinion, his wife and children can be used to sell, not to mention that Li Qing is just an old acquaintance, not worthy of his nostalgia.

Jin Wuwei is stationed in the imperial city, and Yang Zhao's dormitory is also in the imperial city, but at this time he is going to the place where he is going to Ruyi Building, he has long fallen in love with a famous prostitute there, it is said that he was born in an official eunuch family, charming to the bones, and his kung fu in bed is very good.

Soon came to Ruyi Building, but the little turtle man in the Qinglou knew him, he was so poor that he could only find some low-grade goods, but the shelf was not small, he was waved and drunk, but there was no benefit, and when he saw him coming, the little turtle man ignored him.

Yang Zhao smiled proudly, and threw a piece of broken silver over, "Sanniang is here?" Let her come to me."

The silver of the white flowers immediately made the little turtle Gong's disdainful face glow with joy, he held the silver tightly, for fear that it would fly away with wings, but when he heard that Yang Zhao was looking for a top-brand red prostitute, his eyes immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "I'm sorry Yang Ye, the proprietor has just made a rule since the day before yesterday, Sanniang only accepts officials above the product, and you have to make an appointment, you should change it!" ”

Zhao's face turned red, "What kind of is this!" Could it be that officials come to prostitute official uniforms? ”

"Not really! Only Sanniang is a little special. ”

Looking at the face of the silver, Xiao Guigong stepped forward and whispered to Yang Zhao: "Since the proprietor established this rule, Sanniang's worth has immediately increased by more than five times. He stretched out a slap and compared it in front of Yang Zhao.

"Five hundred!" Yang Zhao was speechless, his face immediately turned purple, the five hundred guan that Li Qing gave him, he had eaten and drunk the sea in the past two days, and there were less than three hundred guan left, how could this be enough, he glanced at Ruyi Lou with a blank look, and his heart was stunned.

"Yang joined the army, why didn't he go in, but the money was not enough?"

As soon as Yang Zhao turned around, there were several people standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, the first person was Li Linfu's eldest Li Xiu, and the official would be a young eunuch.

"I'm waiting for a friend!"

Yang Zhao tiptoed and looked back, his face was quite anxious, and he said to himself: "Why haven't you come yet!" ”

Li Xiu smiled slightly, took out a bronze medal, and handed it to Xiaogui Gongdao: "I was looking for Sanniang, it was booked the day before yesterday, and I have this bronze medal as a basis." ”

Xiao Guigong took the bronze medal, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Young Eunuch Li, Sanniang has been waiting for a long time, please come in!" Come in! ”

Li Xiu laughed, arched his hand to Yang Zhao and said: "**A moment is worth a thousand gold, Yang joins the army and waits slowly, I have to go first." ”

I saw his back disappear. Yang Zhao took a sip hard, "Phew! What are you capable of! It's nothing more than having a father who is the prime minister. ”

He was indignant, "There is still a brother-in-law who is the emperor!" ”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, he froze, and after a long time, he slapped his head and shouted: "Why am I so stupid, God-given opportunity, but I don't know how to use it!" ”

He no longer has the heart**. As soon as he turned his horse's head, he galloped eastward.

.

In front of the mansion of Gao Lishi in Taipingfang, Yang Zhao wandered back and forth under a tree, his lips and legs were constantly trembling, and he looked inside the gate for a while, and then looked at the end of the street worriedly. As if he was a thief, afraid of being seen, he had already asked Gao Lishi's butler to go in and report it, only to say that Xiangguo had an urgent matter to convey.

Soon, the chief butler of Gao Lishi led him in, and after about half an hour, Yang Zhao quietly left through the back door of Gao Lishi, while a carriage rushed out of the gate and galloped away in the direction of the palace.

.

If there is still a person in the world who can wake up the Tang Emperor Li Longji, who has fallen asleep, then this person can only be Gao Lishi. Tomorrow is the Great Dynasty, according to the schedule. The imperial court will commend the heroes of Nanzhao tomorrow, and Li Qing is a rising star who has just seen Gao Lishi. Shrewd, capable and flexible, he is definitely a usable talent, and the people in the party are either dull and rotten ministers, such as Xi Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Jingrong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Either born into a famous family, bound by the rules and unable to do big things, such as Wei Jian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Cui Qiao, the secretary of Dali Temple; However, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Siye and others are more than resolute, but they are not flexible enough.

What Li Heng's subordinates lack the most is precisely a young and promising, strategic, and methodical person like Li Qing. Li Qing's visit yesterday made Gao Lishi look at him at a glance. He decided to make Li Qing the mainstay of the Tai Dang and let him ensure that Li Heng succeeded to the throne smoothly. So that the capital invested in Li Heng can get the maximum return.

Yang Zhao's secret report involved his vital interests, and it was too late to wait until tomorrow, so Gao Lishi immediately entered the palace to wake up Li Longji from Gentle Township. He told Li Longji in detail about the matter that Yang Zhao had informed, and finally said: "The old slave feels that the matter is very important, so he doesn't dare to delay, so he came to report it overnight, disturbing the emperor's rest, and asking the emperor to forgive him!" ”

After that, Gao Lishi kowtowed again and again and asked Li Longji for his guilt.

He knew that today was Li Linfu's first birthday, and many court officials went to congratulate him, but he never expected that this was actually a cover for Li Linfu to gather his subordinates to conspire, and although the content of the discussion was not a conspiracy, this kind of conspiracy of forming a party for personal gain made Li Longji extremely annoyed.

He got up and paced slowly in the room, his heart quickly assessing the pros and cons of the place, 'forming a party and secret meeting', this is a thing that has happened in all dynasties, Zhang Ling and Li Shizhi have also done it before, the key is not to be too convenient. Moreover, now that he wants to use Li Linfu again, he can't turn his face yet, so he won't pursue it at this time.

Thinking of this, Li Longji's anger slowly calmed down, but his heart was very interested in Li Qing and Yang Zhao, Li Qing was originally the person he wanted to use, and it was reasonable for Li Linfu to be jealous of him.

However, Yang Zhao surprised Li Longji a little, and actually let Li Linfu, who had been fighting geese for a lifetime, look away and plant it in his hands.

"I can't imagine that even Li Linfu, an old man, will be blind one day, which is a very interesting thing."

The corners of Li Longji's mouth showed a smug smile, "In this way, I have to cultivate him well." ”

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that Gao Lishi was still kneeling on the ground, so he waved his hand, motioned him to stand up, and comforted him with a smile: "You have done a good job in this matter, and reported it to me in time, so that I can be prepared in my heart, and I will not be mistaken by people in tomorrow's dynasty." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced slightly at the hibiscus tent in the inner room, and said to Gao Lishi in a low voice: "You go and tell that Yang Zhao, let him follow Li Linfu to do a good job, if there is any major matter, you have to report to me in time, and when Du Youlin's case is over this time, I will promote him to an official!" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly nodded in response, confessed again, and then slowly retreated.

Li Longji walked back to the inner room in a happy mood, and immediately a palace maid pulled the yellow silk curtain tent on the door, and at this time, Yang Yuhuan's delicate voice came from the hibiscus tent on the dragon couch, "San Lang, what else is there to do with Gao Lishi looking for you so late?" ”

"It's not a big deal, by the way, didn't you ask me to promote your cousin last time? I promised you that I would be promoted to a local official in a few days, how can you thank me! ”

A snow-white arm stretched out from the tent and gently pulled him, "How can the slave family thank you, come in!" It's cool outside. ”

Li Longji stroked her silky white shoulders, and the dragon's body suddenly became hot, and he turned around and ordered the palace maid to turn off the lights, and ambitiously burrowed into the endless spring hibiscus tent.

The night, it is still generally dark, the city of Chang'an is silent, the hustle and bustle of the day is silent, all asleep, it is recuperating, waiting for the beginning of a new day.
