At the end of the day, Li Linfu rushed back to Chang'an from Lishan. A night in the mountains was also tormenting for Li Linfu, if it weren't for the difficulty of walking at night, worried that his body would not be able to bear it, Li Linfu would also choose to return to Chang'an after seeing Xuanzong.

Li Linfu had too many doubts in his heart, and the sudden appearance of this incident was very abrupt, disrupting his previous layout. Originally, he had already persuaded Gao Lishi to blow the wind in Xuanzong's ears, basically ensuring that Yang Shenjin took over the post of Zuo Xiang. Once Yang Shenjin becomes the left minister, the affairs of the DPRK and China will basically be under his control in the future. But at this juncture, such a thing suddenly popped up, no matter how you think about it, it smells of conspiracy.

Judging from Li Linfu's many years of experience in rolling in the DPRK and China, any sudden incident that occurs at a critical time is not without reason, and it will never be a coincidence. Moreover, it was Wang Yuan who reported this matter to His Majesty, which is even more suspicious.

Since the incident in Beihai County, Wang Yuan has been a thorn in Li Linfu's heart, and what he did in Beihai has disrupted his layout against the crown prince Li Heng, which Li Linfu thought was intentional. Now it's this Wang Yuan who jumped out again, and he is about to break another layout of his own, which can be concluded to be intentional rather than a coincidence.

Moreover, Li Linfu would never believe that Yang Zhao was not involved in this matter, His Majesty said that Wang Yuan had not informed anyone about this matter, and Li Linfu could only scoff at it. Yang Zhao must know what happened, and he hid behind his back and did not come out, which shows that this matter is a conspiracy.

It may be a conspiracy, Li Linfu naturally will not sit idly by and watch it succeed, and after a night of tossing and turning, Li Linfu decided to take the risk to help Yang Shenjin get through this hurdle. Although this is a loss of His Majesty's trust, he can't take care of it.

The wind and dust rushed to the political hall, although it was a carriage, but the two legs no longer obeyed the call, after all, the years are not forgiving. But Li Linfu ignored his physical discomfort and ordered someone to invite Yang Shenjin to see him as soon as possible. In fact, there was no need to invite, Yang Shenjin heard the news of Li Linfu's return from Lishan, so he had already rushed to meet him as soon as possible. Recently is a critical period, and Yang Shenjin must always maintain communication and consultation with Li Linfu.

When Yang Shenjin stepped into Li Linfu's public house, the little official consciously pushed out the door and closed the door. Suddenly, the noise outside was shut out, and the room was very quiet, and the silence made people panic.

Li Linfu sat on the boxwood chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind, on the table beside him, in a carved copper incense burner, sandalwood pieces were slowly burning, and the faint blue smoke slowly drifted into the air, and the smoke shrouded Li Linfu, making Li Linfu look like a seated Buddha.

"Xiangguo...... Xiangguo ......," Yang Shenjin called in a low voice.

Li Linfu's eyelids jumped, he slowly opened his eyes, and said with a sigh: "Shen Jin is here?" The old man was silently reciting the "Meditation Sutra" but was disturbed by you. ”

Yang Shen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lower official should die, he disturbed Xiangguo's retreat, and Xiangguo forgives his sin." ”

Li Linfu waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Yang Shenjin slowly sat aside, and Li Linfu sighed and said, "Do you know why the old man wants to recite the "Meditation Sutra" silently? ”

Yang Shenjin bowed and said, "The lower officials don't know." ”

Li Linfu said: "Because the old man's heart is in turmoil, he must calm down." ”

Yang Shenjin frowned and wanted to speak, but Li Linfu raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Shenjin, you and the old man have known each other for ten years. In the past ten years, you and I have supported each other and done a lot of things, I still think I know about you, but now, the old man doesn't dare to think so. ”

Yang Shen hurriedly got up and said, "Why did Xiangguo say this? Xiaguan has always been the same, and I am no different from when I met Xiangguo ten years ago. ”

Li Linfu waved his hand and said: "That's not accurate, this time I went to Lishan to see the driver, Your Majesty said that some people started with persistence and dreams, but as the years passed, they lost their original intentions, and people have changed." The old man felt that what His Majesty said was very reasonable. When you think about yourself ten or twenty years ago and your current self, your mind is very different. The old man has forgotten his original intention, let alone you, you say consistently, but it's just a joke. ”

Yang Shenjin didn't know what was going on, and Li Linfu suddenly said these words, which made people's hearts very bottomless. Hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Xiangguo, is it that the lower official has done something wrong, the lower official is stupid, Xiang Guo, please make it clear." ”

Li Linfu waved his hand slightly and said, "It's just that what Your Majesty said gave the old man a lot of emotion, you don't have to mind." But the old man did have something to do with you. Before I talk about this, I have something to ask you, I hope you will answer the old man seriously without a trace of falsehood. The old man is a heart-to-heart with you, don't answer the old man casually. ”

Yang Shenjin said categorically: "Xiangguo, Yang Shenjin may tell lies with others, but in front of His Majesty and Xiangguo, the lower officials have never said half a lie." ”

Li Linfu nodded and said, "Okay, with your words, the old man asked directly." Well...... You are the bloodline inheritance of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and you are the great-great-grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, for my great Tang Dynasty Sui and the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, let your ancestors disappear, I would like to know what you think about this matter. ”

Yang Shenjin's body trembled, a look of horror appeared on his face, he fell to the ground with a puff, and kowtowed again and again: "Xiangguo, Shen Jin is loyal to serve the Tang Dynasty, and has never had two hearts." The reincarnation of heaven, alternating between prosperity and decline, is the right way in the world. The fall of the Sui Dynasty was against the way of heaven, so I stood up in the Tang Dynasty to save the people of the world from fire and water. Although I am the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but I have long been a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty treats the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty as kind as a mountain and trusts, we are already grateful, and there is only one thought of loyalty in my heart, how can I have other thoughts. Xiangguo, others don't know about the lower officials, don't you still know the lower officials? In the past ten years that you have known Xiaguan, have Xiaguan ever had any bad words and deeds? ”

Li Linfu quietly looked at Yang Shenjin's appearance of trying his best to defend and kowtow, and sighed and said, "Shenjin, don't be excited. The old man knew that he shouldn't have asked for such a thing. But you must know that only the old man in this world will ask you face to face, and many people have this question in their hearts, but they will never ask you this question. The old man asked for your own good, so that the old man had a bottom in his heart. ”

"Xiangguo, what's wrong? Could it be that someone around Your Majesty has come in to slander and frame me? ”

Li Linfu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, the old man knows it." I have something to ask you, do you know a Taoist named Shi Jingzhong? ”

Yang Shen said: "I know, Shi Tianshi is my friend. ”

Li Linfu said: "That's it, Shi Jingzhong was arrested by Wang Yuan and confessed some things about you, and His Majesty ordered me to strictly investigate this matter." Shen Jin, you go back to the house first, the old man will take someone to search your house in half an hour, I hope what Shi Jingzhong said is false, I hope the old man can't find anything. ”

Yang Shen seemed to have been struck by thunder, and his mind was buzzing. Although Li Linfu didn't say anything specific, he quickly understood the hint in Li Linfu's words. Half an hour later, he went to search his mansion, hoping that he would find nothing, which was a hint that he had to respond quickly, which was helping him get out of trouble. Although he didn't do anything with a clear conscience, in case someone framed him, he needed to quickly check the mansion to avoid complications.

Yang Shen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Linfu, and when he looked up, Li Linfu had already closed his eyes and sat silently.

Yang Shenjin did not delay, turned around and went out of the house immediately, ran out of the political hall and rushed home, cursed in his heart, entered the door of the house, and hurriedly summoned the housekeepers, servants, maids and all the people who could be mobilized in the house, and personally supervised a comprehensive search from the front yard to the back house, in the cabinets under the bed, on the walls and on the ground, with flowers and plants, and on the top of the trees. This check doesn't matter, but I found a lot of things that shouldn't be left at home. For example, the Zhu pen and jade pendant left by the ancestors, the royal special clothes and clothing, etc., these things were originally passed down and preserved by the ancestors as a commemoration, but at this moment, these things should not be kept.

So, burning, cutting, smashing, throwing, all these things were disposed of, and then carefully checked again to confirm that there were no more prohibited things, and Yang Shenjin was relieved.

In order to prevent someone from making a temporary mistake, he ordered all the servants and maids to stay in the house and not to come out, and even the wives and concubines and children were ordered to stay in the house and not to come out and walk around, and they sat alone in the front hall, waiting for Li Linfu to bring someone to search.

Soon after, the sound of neighing horses from outside the house was heard, and the old family opened the door of the house. At the opening of the door, Li Linfu led a group of officials to enter, and after conveying Xuanzong's edict in the courtyard, Li Linfu issued an order for the participating officials to lead soldiers to search Yang Shenjin's mansion in groups of two.
