Li Shan left the prison of the Criminal Department and immediately went to Zhang to say, and the only thing that could help him in this matter was probably only Zhang said. Zhang Jiuling is Li Shan's most trusted person, but Zhang Jiuling is now old and seriously ill, and he has ignored the affairs of the court for a long time, and Li Shan really has no way to consult with him.

"King Zhennan, what's the matter with coming to the Humble House?" Zhang said.

Li Shan said with a stern expression: "Does Lord Zhang know about Shen Chuan, the servant of the household department?" ”

Zhang said: "You know, wasn't he arrested and imprisoned in the Criminal Department for corruption and other cases a few days ago?" ”

Li Shandao: "Didn't Shen Chuan come to find Master Zhang?" ”

Zhang Shuo recalled carefully: "This has happened, it seems that a famous assassin said that he wanted to visit." But you know that private dealings between court officials have always been taboo, and besides, I have no relationship with him, and I was busy with river disaster relief some time ago, so I haven't seen him. Since he is a corrupt official, he will not be seen. ”

Li Shan shook his head and said: "Today I went to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Shen Chuan, this person is definitely not a corrupt and bribery person, on the contrary, he should be a rare honest and good official." ”

Zhang said: "The person who went to prison will admit his guilt?" But I'm afraid it's not appropriate to listen to one side, since he has been imprisoned, then it can be handed over to the criminal department for trial, and I believe that the criminal department will definitely be able to find out about this matter. ”

Li Shandao: "This matter is the abbot of Li Linfu himself, and I think Li Linfu must have hidden this matter." ”

Zhang said: "Although Lord Li Linfu sometimes does things a little biased, he will not blatantly murder the imperial court officials, right?" Moreover, the emperor personally inquired about this matter. ”

Li Shan smiled slightly and said: "It is precisely because of this that I feel strange, how can the dignified prime minister be so concerned about the affairs of the household servant, if Li Linfu is really pretending to be a public servant for this reason, then do you think this matter will be a trivial matter?" ”

Zhang said that when he heard Li Shan say this, his expression turned grim and asked, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Li Shandao: "There is no evidence for the time being, but Shen Chuan seems to have found out something, and I have sent someone to confirm it." ”

"Even so, we can't act rashly without evidence," Zhang said. Besides, in the final analysis, this matter is also the words of Tobe Shirou, which is really unconvincing. How could His Majesty choose to trust a Tobe servant and doubt the Prime Minister? ”

Li Shandao: "Lord Zhang, I don't think the matter of the household servant is a top priority, and the problem reflected in this matter is quite serious. I returned to the capital from Dali this time for this matter, I want to put my heart in front of Master Zhang, and I hope that Lord Zhang will help me. ”

Zhang said: "The king of Zhennan said that it is okay, and the lower officials are willing to hear and see." ”

Li Shandao: "The most serious problem in the imperial court now is that the military power is scattered and the imperial power is unstable. Outside, there is a temperance to make the army that controls the provinces and provinces, and the prime minister Li Linfu is jealous and can close his eyes and listen, and the emperor is addicted to pleasure and cannot concentrate on the government, which is the top priority. ”

Zhang said: "King Zhennan's words hit the nail on the head, and he just said the hidden illness of the court." Since Lord Zhang Jiuling resigned as prime minister, the atmosphere in the imperial court has been getting worse day by day. Lord Zhang Jiuling is outspoken, daring to admonish, upright, and is a rare loyal minister. However, Li Linfu is a little flashy, which has led to a great change in the atmosphere of the current court, with flatterers taking the throne, and honest and honest loyal ministers being alienated. ”

Li Shan said: "The danger of the court is just a small disease of scabies, as long as the emperor wakes up, he only needs to send a lieutenant to cut off the root cause of the curse with lightning speed." What we need to do is to find evidence of Li Linfu's crime, as the so-called often walks by the river, so if you don't get your shoes wet, I forgive him that he must have an ulterior secret. But the real problem lies in the feudal town, and according to my estimation, Li Linfu must have colluded with the Jiedu envoy, which is a big problem that hurts the muscles and bones. ”

Zhang Shuo was surprised: "Could it be that Li Linfu still dares to rebel?" Even if the Jiedu envoy has the military power, but there are more than ten Jiedu envoys in the imperial court, how can these people work together? Moreover, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Luoyang, Chang'an, which can ensure the safety of the imperial court. ”

Li Shandao: "The current balance is only temporary, but if the situation continues to be found like this, the imperial court's control over the local area will become weaker and weaker, and the local power will become stronger and stronger. If you don't plan early, at a point where things are out of control, Datang's century-old foundation will be ruined. ”

Zhang Shuo took the case and said: "It's God who doesn't bless me in the Tang Dynasty, how much Xuanzong asked for his life when he was alive, but it became like this in just a few years." ”

Li Shan glanced at it when he heard it, and saw that Zhang Shuo didn't look at him, so he was relieved. Xuanzong's death is a confidential event until now, and few people know the truth, but Li Shan still has a trace of guilt in his heart. After all, Xuanzong's death was still caused by himself, I didn't kill Bo Yan, but Bo Yan died because of me, which is also a kind of guilt. Therefore, Li Shan wanted to help the Tang Dynasty regain its glory.

"Master Zhang, this is what I want to do." Li Shan handed a detailed report plan to Zhang. This is the purpose of Li Shan's visit to Chang'an this time, Li Shan is ready to use the full opening of Dali and the Tang Dynasty, and use Dali's ability to change the existing pattern of the Tang Dynasty. As long as Tang Suzong uses Dali's troops and technology to achieve the revival and governance of the Tang Dynasty, the abolition of the Ten Sects will be just a piece of cake, as for Li Linfu, as long as he finds evidence of his crime, it will be easy to solve him.

Zhang Shuo looked at Li Shan's report and stared at Li Shanshan tightly for a long time before he spoke: "King Zhennan is proficient in history, he must know the Three Kingdoms Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, dare to ask what the Eastern Han Rebellion began?" ”

Zhang Shuo suddenly diverted the topic, Li Shan thought about it for a while and understood what he meant, and said: "Naturally, Yuan Shao led the Western Liang assassin Shi Dong Zhuo into Beijing, which caused Dong Zhuo to confuse the dynasty, and the world's heroes rose together. But with all due respect, I am not Dong Zhuo and the Tang Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty at that time. ”

Zhang said that Li Shan was outspoken, but he was very happy and said: "I have been friends with Zhang Jiuling for decades, and he has always trusted you very much, so I also believe in you, but will the emperor believe you, and can the Manchu Dynasty civil and military agree?" This kind of change is like a military admonition, if the emperor believes you, it's fine, but if you make a slight mistake, you will be treated as a chaotic party. ”

Li Shandao: "I have faced a much more difficult situation than this, and now it is a very good situation. In the near future, it is not advisable for you and me to startle the snake, and when I collect enough evidence, you and I will sue Li Linfu together, investigate this person thoroughly, and then make my plan known, and Your Majesty will definitely follow it. ”

Zhang said that he was still a little unsure, but he agreed.

At the same time, in Li Linfu's house, it was already late at night. A person slipped in quietly through the back door, and was led into Li Linfu's study by the housekeeper.

"Master, the secretary of the criminal department asks to see me."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department entered the study and said to Li Linfu: "My lord, Shen Chuan's matter has been completed. But how are you going to explain to Your Majesty next? ”

Li Linfu said: "You don't need to worry about this, I will meet Your Majesty tomorrow to explain this matter in person, you remember to put your hands and feet clean, you must not leave any horses' feet, if something goes wrong, I can't protect you." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "The subordinates understand that it has been done." (To be continued.) )
