Thousands of miles away in the city of Chang'an, after Li Linfu was poisoned and killed on the first day of October until February of the eighth year of Tianbao, the situation in the DPRK and China underwent tremendous and rapid changes in the short three months. After Li Linfu's death, his power collapsed at a rapid pace, and was replaced by the power of the new prime minister, Yang Guozhong, who swelled greatly.

Many officials who originally belonged to Li Linfu's party have reconciled with Yang Guozhong through various channels in order to cling to this new big tree. However, Yang Guozhong did not refuse to come, accepted their overtures, and enveloped them all into his own hands. After that, Yang Guozhong began a major reshuffle, using the power of the right minister and the trust of Xuanzong, Yang Guozhong promoted his cronies one by one and placed them in important positions.

Two years ago, he did this because he first became the left minister, but he was almost impeached and dismissed, and if Wang Yuan hadn't accepted Nanzhao and saved him at a critical time, I don't know what the situation would have been. However, at this time, the biggest political enemy and deterrent, Li Linfu, was dead, and Yang Guozhong could do whatever he wanted without worrying about anyone's impeachment of him. Under such circumstances, officials who went to Yang Guozhong's mansion to plead for gifts in the hope of getting a good official position or were worried about being belittled came one after another, almost breaking through Yang Guozhong's threshold.

In just one month after Yang Guozhong took office as prime minister, Yang Guozhong appointed and promoted more than 100 officials in Beijing. Without exception, the officials promoted are not all Yang Guozhong's cronies or officials who have given heavy gifts, and those who are degraded are those who are unwilling to bow their heads or are unable to give gifts to protect officials. For a time, there was a proverb in Beijing: If you want to be promoted, look for Yang San, 100,000 yuan for big officials, and 100,000 yuan for small officials.

Yang Guozhong has monopoly power, and who he wants to be promoted or demoted is completely determined by his own will, and the political hall is useless in his eyes. His method of promoting people is very simple, after drawing up the list, he called Zuo Xiangchen. Xi Lie and the head of the five houses of the political hall came, took the list and read it, and then Chen. Xilie and the others only needed to complete the matters after the promotion and demotion of these people, and they did not have the slightest intention of discussing with them. Li Linfu didn't dare to do anything at the same time, but Yang Guozhong did it in a hurry, with the face of Lao Tzu the second in the world.

Such a thing also spread to the palace, but Yang Guozhong always had clever words to deal with Xuanzong. Xuanzong didn't want to delve into it because of the face of the concubine and the Yang family, or that Xuanzong didn't have much energy to take care of these things, so under the indulgence and pampering, Yang Guozhong became more and more out of control.

Yang Guifei naturally didn't care about government affairs and didn't care about these things, but Mrs. Qin Guo, the most sober lady of the Yang family, persuaded Yang Guozhong's behavior a few times, but Yang Guozhong said to Mrs. Qin Guo with a heartfelt voice: "My Yang family was oppressed by others before, just because I was too good to talk and think too much, and now my Yang family is raising my eyebrows, how can I still look up to people?" The reason why Li Linfu has been able to control the government for more than ten years is not because of his iron-fisted methods and many henchmen. I am now attracting courtiers for my Yang family, and it is also for my Yang family to be able to stand on the court for a long time. If I turn these officials away and don't give them a chance, they will be attached to others. Can't I just sit back and watch them become my enemies? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo was speechless by him, from the perspective of the Yang family, the greater the power, the more stable it is, isn't the hard work of the Yang family just for the sake of today? Although Yang Guozhong's approach is a little extreme, after all, he is also for the good of the Yang family. And besides him, who in the Yang family can stand on the court? Thinking like this, Mrs. Qin Guo didn't bother to say anything, and followed him with one eye closed.

People change sometimes in a surprising way. In just one or two months, Yang Guozhong came out of Li Linfu's shadow and became a different person. Becoming arrogant and unstoppable.

While aggressively recruiting henchmen to expand his power, Yang Guozhong also began to suppress his enemies. There have always been many contradictions between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, there was Li Linfu in the past, and there were still people between the two who suppressed their own restraint, but now Yang Guozhong raised his eyebrows, how could he look at An Lushan's face again. The first thing Yang Guozhong did was to drastically reduce the military spending of the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Fan Yangping and Lu Hexi. The supply of various materials and the additional supply of food and salaries, which were originally decided in the hands of Li Linfu, were all cut down.

Yang Guozhong played Xuanzong to explain these measures, saying: "There are too many troops in the northeastern border towns, which has become a heavy burden on the imperial court. An Lushan still asks for the expansion of troops every year, which is an unreasonable requirement at all, and if it goes on like this, the rest of the court will not need to raise troops, and it will be consumed by An Lushan. ”

An Lushan hated the root of his teeth after learning what Yang Guozhong said, and what made him angry was that he learned that Yang Guozhong had given all the military salary supplies deducted from his head to Wang Yuan, the envoy of Jiannan Longyoujie. Favoring one over the other, the posture of suppressing oneself is self-explanatory. An Lushan went to the court for this matter and quarreled with Yang Guozhong. Xuanzong was caught in a dilemma, and in the end, each played 20 boards, and the general's salary and materials were partially restored, and the two looked at Xuanzong's face and calmed down the quarrel about this matter.

However, An Lushan already knew very well in his heart that with Yang Guozhong in one day, he would not want to develop his strength smoothly. Moreover, Yang Guozhong once said in front of Xuanzong that he had too many soldiers and horses, and that Hu people were not credible, implying that he was plotting against him. If you don't have this mind, it's okay, but this matter is exactly what you think about in your heart, so this makes An Lushan uncomfortable. Yang Guozhong is by His Majesty's side, he can blow the wind in his ears at any time, and one day His Majesty will believe his words, then it is very likely that he will be summoned into Chang'an by His Majesty to kill him at any time without knowing it. Although his preparations are not sufficient, everything has not yet reached the ideal state he wants to achieve, the number of soldiers and horses, and the hoarding of weapons and materials are not enough, but An Lushan knows that he may not be able to wait too long.

In March, Yang Guozhong finally launched a general liquidation against Li Linfu. As Wang Yuan expected, the liquidation of Li Linfu is not a question of if, but a question of when. It's just that I'm afraid that Wang Yuan didn't expect that Yang Guozhong would be impatient after only three months, and the big liquidation of Li Linfu's past.

Yang Guozhong ordered the officials of the DPRK and China to collect and expose all kinds of things that Li Linfu had done before, and selected 15 things from them to publicize them in a big way, calling them Li Linfu's 15 major crimes. Li Linfu is described as the first traitor in the ages who formed a party for personal gain, cracked down on dissidents, killed loyalty, appointed private individuals, played with power and scheming, deceived the Holy Hearing, and was arrogant and domineering. Turn over the case of Wei Jianhuang Fu Weiming to overturn the case. At the same time, the case of Li Shizhi and Li Yong, and the matter of instructing Dong Yanguang not to obey Wang Zhonghe's order to overthrow Wang Zhonghei in the battle of Shibao City in the northwest have also been revealed. Moreover, he successfully got Li Linfu's son-in-law to consult the doctor Yang Qixuan to testify, saying that Li Linfu had many disrespectful words to His Majesty at home, and often claimed that if I were Your Majesty, how would I do this, and Li Linfu was charged with attempting to rebel.

As the saying goes, the tree falls and scatters, and the wall falls and everyone pushes it. Under such circumstances, many officials also exposed Li Linfu's crimes one after another, and counted the great rebellious things that Li Linfu had done. Some people say that Li Linfu even carved jade seals privately, made dragon robes privately, and wore the emperor's addiction at home in the middle of the night. Some say that Li Linfu has always coveted the beauty of the concubine, and there is a concubine at home whose name is Yang Yuhuan. When she sleeps in her arms at night, she also calls her Aifei Yunyun.

All in all, under this kind of great reckoning, the ugly side of human nature was exposed, and all kinds of unbelievable and ridiculous fabrications were also put on the case file in a grand manner, and became Li Linfu's various crimes.

Xuanzong didn't believe these words at first, he had been with Li Linfu for decades, and he still knew Li Linfu very well, he didn't believe that Li Linfu had really done so many bad things. However, under the crowd, Xuanzong gradually wavered. And when all kinds of snowflakes exposed Li Linfu's twists and turns were piled on the desk, Xuanzong's mind was confused and he was completely trapped.

The most intolerable thing is that Li Linfu actually wants to be the emperor, and he still covets his concubine. Although he is no longer able to enter Hong Kong, he still wants to occupy the beauty of the concubine, and others can't have the slightest idea. After months of liquidation and bombing, Xuanzong finally issued an order to deprive Li Linfu of all posthumously gifted official titles and demote them to commoners, and at the same time deprive Li Linfu's children of their official titles and titles, and exile the whole family to Lingnan and Qianzhong. confiscated more than 50 families of his relatives and sons. In the end, because Li Linfu was already a commoner, the regulations of his burial were inconsistent with the regulations of the burial of the common people, and at the suggestion of Yang Guozhong, he ordered to dig out Li Linfu's coffin, cut out the beads in his mouth, peel off the official robe and shroud given by the emperor, change the bones into the clothes of the people, move from the Nanmu coffin to the thin wooden coffin, and find a barren mountain and a wild place to bury it.

Poor Li Linfu, as a generation of prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, actually suffered such a big insult after his death. He probably never imagined that it was the people who were so respectful in front of him during his lifetime that pushed this forward. He probably didn't expect that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and Xuanzong, who called himself a brother and brother, would also listen to this slanderous words and let him be humiliated after his death.

The great reckoning lasted for nearly three months, and in June, Li Linfu was concluded, and Li Linfu was known as the first traitor of the Tang Dynasty and was forever engraved on the pillar of shame. And Yang Guozhong, who has done all this, raised his eyebrows, the fear of Li Linfu for many years, and the hatred accumulated under Li Linfu's coercion and oppression were finally released this time. At the same time, Yang Guozhong could also see the light of extreme fear of himself in the eyes of the ministers.

Yang Guozhong greatly enjoyed the feeling of being feared, which was exactly the kind of feeling he had been pursuing, and in just a few months, Yang Guozhong quickly reached the peak of his life.
