This time the driving luck was different from the past, the first to arrive Longwu Army sergeants, straight into Pingkangfang, the road leading to the Li Mansion was blocked, even around the mansion was no exception, Longwu General Chen Xuanli personally came to inspect to ensure that there was no danger.

And outside the square all the way to the Xingqing Palace, it was supported by Zuo Yulin's soldiers, and the Son of Heaven paid the honor guard, with the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army as the forerunner, went out of the palace in turn, and under the gaze of the people on both sides of the street, walked slowly, and finally stopped outside the gate of the Li Mansion.

The double-row five-major doors painted in vermilion have already been opened, and the people of the Li Mansion are standing all over the place, and the first thing Li Longji who was helped out of the chariot by Gao Lishi is the familiar figure who is neatly dressed and has a clear appearance, and he can't help but be stunned, where does this look like he will die soon?

"Shangshu's left servant and right minister, Li Linfu, led the people of the mansion to see Your Majesty."

Li Linfu didn't let people hold him, but insisted that he had completed the whole set of actions, and as he bowed down, Li Longji's front was full of black heads, he didn't say anything immediately, but looked at the Fengyu on the side, who bowed slightly, confirming his conjecture.

"Colliers."

"The old slave is here."

"Go and help Lao Xiangguo up and accompany me for a walk." When Gao Lishi stepped forward to support the person, he said lightly: "Get up." ”

This is not the main residence of the Li Mansion, but a separate courtyard, because it is very close to the Xingqing Palace, Li Linfu will rest here for seven or eight months in a year, when the two monarchs and ministers get along, Li Longji has also visited several times, which can be said to be very familiar.

At this moment, the house is already full of sergeants, which is also the proper meaning of the question, Li Linfu, who was supported by Gao Lishi, walked slowly at a distance of half a step from him, Li Longji put his hands behind his back, along the smooth flower and stone road, all the way to the flower hall in the back garden, and then suddenly spoke.

"Twenty years."

"Twenty years." Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty has been in power for forty years, and the old minister can get half of it, which is already a blessing to the sky. ”

"Don't say that, I still expect the prince to take over, and you and I will travel under the forest together and recuperate for the rest of the year."

Li Linfu was shocked, what was the intention of saying such things at this time? He said as he pondered.

"Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the old minister does not have that blessing, if it is decided today, the Holy Son of Heaven will rule with the arch, the prince will supervise the country, and the ministers will assist him, so he will be able to benefit all the people, why should he say goodbye?"

"I've worked hard for forty years, and I'm tired."

He has been re-elected as Xiangguo for so many years, and his biggest reliance is to figure out the holy will, at this time, Li Longji's simple sentence made Li Linfu understand the deep meaning, he wanted to be leisurely, and he didn't want to let go of power.

Emperor Taishang is not uncommon in the entire Tang calendar, some were forced to do it, such as Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and some took the initiative to do it, such as the first emperor Li Dan, Li Longji wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave a strong mark in the history books, and hang the foundation of the prosperous era on his body forever.

No matter what happens next, there will be a son to take the blame, such a calculation, it is impossible without the participation of the prime minister, after figuring out this layer, Li Linfu is both grateful and afraid, because once the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the current son of the emperor, can he still save his family?

"Brother Nu, this time to pacify Xifan, you have strategized, you have made great contributions, I have promised a throne, now it seems that I am afraid to add another one, your eldest son, attack a county prince."

"Old minister and Nanxiu, thank you for Your Majesty's grace."

As soon as Li Linfu fell to the bottom, Gao Lishi stared at his movements without blinking, for fear that he would never be able to stand up again.

Fortunately, the other party stood up without his help, and Li Longji glanced at it in surprise: "Still worried about the prince?" ”

"The prince is benevolent and filial, the whole dynasty knows everything, and the old minister only hates that he can't drive with the attendants, how dare he think about it."

"I can't say this, it's all at this time, what to say."

Li Linfu arched his hand solemnly: "The old minister wants to ask His Majesty for a favor, so he dares to speak out." ”

"Say."

"Please After Your Majesty returns to the palace, he will issue a royal decree to cut off the officials and become commoners, and so will the son-in-law."

When Li Longji heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but stare at him again and again, under the majestic gaze of the king, Li Linfu did not dodge or dodge, and talked eloquently.

"It's not a pity for the old minister to die, there are women and children and young children in the family, for 20 years, there are countless offends, the old minister is in fashion, once he goes, it is inevitable that there will be no Xiao Zi, and he failed to converge in time, at that time, the new monarch was first established, just to be able to establish his authority, and the minister is afraid that the house will be implicated, so there is this please, a little selfishness, and I hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled."

Li Longji understood, what he was worried about was not the prince, but Yang Guozhong, no matter how much the prince hated him, he would not make any moves when he was alive, but Yang Guozhong was different, that guy had no political acumen at all, and would only have revenge.

Li Linfu's words were not to punish him and his descendants, but to remind him in disguise that Yang Guozhong and the crown prince would not deal with each other!

Once he really has to abdicate, the open and secret struggle between the two, I am afraid that he will not live in peace, and at that time, as the emperor, no matter which side he presides, he will appear to be unknown, which is the embarrassment.

It is easy to go from the emperor to the emperor, but throughout the ages, I have seen the emperor who abdicated, and he can still be the emperor again, he reminded him that Li Longji originally had a somewhat firm mind, and he wavered again, and the power only waited until it was lost, and then it would be felt precious, the Taiping Emperor had done it for too long, and he almost forgot it, the bloody wind and rain of the Wu Dynasty, the sword and sword shadow of the first emperor, every step was from the abyss and trembling.

"You guys, the prince is so unbearable? Then tell me, which one is more capable of inheriting the throne than him? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lishi on the side was stunned, but Li Linfu, who should have bowed down and apologized, stood there unmoved, as if he had only heard an ordinary political matter.

"The prince is benevolent and filial, the Manchu Dynasty knows everything, this is the truth, the old minister is not a prevarication, but a "benevolence", a "filial piety", can govern this country like an iron bucket, the four Yi guests are subdued, and all countries come to the court, becoming the heavenly khan in the eyes of Zhufan? ”

"The benevolence of the prince, too filial piety and the emperor, the filial piety of the prince, no less than the first emperor, when the filial piety and the emperor inherited the choice of the queen of heaven, reigned for only five years, the court situation was chaotic, the people's livelihood withered, the first emperor was wise, and the weight was placed on His Majesty, so there is today's situation, compared to the Zhenguan, Yonghui, even more, thousands of years, recited in the history books, flowing in the hundred generations, the old minister congratulated His Majesty, and also congratulated the descendants of future generations."

Li Longji listened silently in his ears, and his mind was already full of waves.
