Chapter 0298 - Hit It Off
Hua Qiu was promoted to the Xuanjie lieutenant on the eighth grade.
The five chiefs Nie Feng, Li Qi, Wang Guangguang, Lin Dayu, and Murong and Shun were also promoted to the rank of Renyong Captain on the Ninth Grade, and their official rank was quite that of the county in the middle and lower counties.
The other soldiers also received their own rewards, and the lowest was promoted to the rank of captain.
Truth be told, these rewards are not high compared to the merits they have made.
Only Li Ang and Wu Xuan's rewards have not been decided, and Wang Zhonghei has been played to the court and handed over to the monarchs and ministers of the court to decide. Now Li Ang is still just a small soldier who joined the army, and what he has to do every day now is to sit in the yamen to receive some military letters.
This work is very leisurely, and it is not easy to make mistakes, Dong Yanguang can't find fault with him for a while, and the two sides are temporarily at peace on the surface.
However, Li Ang knew that this might just be the calm before the storm, and it was impossible for Dong Yanguang to stop there.
What made Li Ang unhappy was Wang Zhongsi's attitude, he didn't summon him in the past few days, Li Ang took the initiative to ask to see, and Wang Zhongsi also avoided it for various reasons, so that the officials in the yali saw this situation, and discussed it in private, looking at Li Ang's eyes strangely.
On this day, Li Ang pondered alone in the yamen for a while, and then wrote two letters to Chang'an, one for Yang Nan and one for Gongsun Jingyu.
After writing these two letters, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, and wrote another one to Mrs. Qiuguo, this woman is dissolute by nature, and in addition to physical conquest, Li Ang is not sure to control her thoughts.
She does things according to her personal preferences, and Leon sometimes worries that she will not be helpful. Therefore, for so long, except for the matter of the bed, Li Ang has not let her do anything.
In the letter to Mrs. Qiuguo, the main thing is to talk about old things. Contact the feelings, otherwise it will not be good to wait for something to happen, and then write again.
When he was writing, Li Ang found that between himself and Mrs. Qiuguo, except for those things in bed. There's really nothing else going on. I can't help but think of the scene in her house in the past, Li Ang always likes to stack her sister Lady Qin Guo on top of her, riding alone and in two, singing about conquest.
The more the sisters were ravaged, the more well-behaved and obedient they became, and they sang coquettishly...... Depend on! Has Lao Tzu not touched a woman for too long?
Li Ang stopped his pen and rubbed his face vigorously, almost rubbing his facial features together. I have to admit that the pair of sister flowers is indeed unique.
Take a few deep breaths. After calming down and writing again, I finally wrote the letter.
***
At this time, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was not peaceful, and cool officials such as Ji Wen and Luo Xixiao set off a bloody storm in the name of inspecting the place.
Especially Ji Wen and Luo Xizao, the two of them abused each other, and the matter was not exhausted, and the stolen goods were planned first. To be interrogated by the prisoners, shocked and tortured. Most of those on trial died under torture, which was horrific;
The two were then called "Luo Tong Ji Net", and the local officials were afraid of their cruelty, and they did not dare to complain.
As a result, a large number of false accusations and perjury flew to Chang'an. The target is all directed at the crown prince Li Heng.
The prince became more and more frightened, Li Linfu became more and more powerful, anyway, the emperor did not go to court, Li Linfu was troublesome to go to the normal hall to work, so he handled government affairs in his private house in Pingkangfang. All the officials gathered in front of his house to wait for the summons, and there were countless chariots and horses. The right prime minister's mansion is like a court.
There is an imperial history who can't look past it, and the above table impeached Li Linfu for eight major crimes, but before he could hand it over, Li Linfu learned about it, and immediately sent another imperial historian to his home, and he was killed with a cane on a casual charge, and his family was confiscated.
Subsequently, Li Linfu summoned all the imperial historians and said to them: Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, it is too late for the ministers to obey the holy will, what advice do you need? Haven't you seen those honor guards? They are kept silent all day long and are fed with good grain and grass, but at the slightest hiss, they are immediately eliminated. Even if you don't want to scream later, you can't be requisitioned again.
Li Linfu asked the imperial historian to be a guard of honor, just make a show, don't scream. There are lessons from the past, and all the imperial historians dare not admonish again.
Under the worry of Li Shizhi, the left minister, he took the initiative to resign, and the emperor agreed, Li Shizhi was soon dismissed as the crown prince and became a loose official who only received Fenglu and had no real position.
Li Shi went, and only Gao Lishi and Zhang Yan, the commander of the horses, still had the ability to protect the crown prince Li Heng.
Zhang Yan is the fourth son of the late Prime Minister Zhang Shuo, and is the emperor's son-in-law, the husband of the princess Shang Ning, the emperor is particularly favored, Xu Zhang Yan is in the forbidden middle of the house, serving for the article, tasting treasures, innumerable.
He and Gao Lishi are both close ministers of the emperor's side, and they speak for the crown prince Li Heng, even though the evidence of exposing the prince in the local area is flying like snowflakes, Li Heng still does not fall, which makes Li Linfu extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Dong Yanguang, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, sent an urgent recital to Chang'an, and Li Linfu immediately summoned Gong Shaoci, a confidant sent to Beijing by Dong Yanguang, as if he had obtained a treasure.
Gong Shaoci was led to Li Linfu's study, and bowed in fear: "Humble Gong Shaoci, see Li Xianggong!" ”
"Get up."
Li Linfu held the tea bowl without even lifting his eyelids, it has only been a few months, and the gray hair on his sideburns has increased a lot, and his appearance has become clearer.
Now everyone only sees his powerful and beautiful side, and who knows how hard he is?
In order to gain the favor of the emperor, he took care of all opportunities day and night, and took care of the country's military and political affairs in an orderly manner.
At the same time, you have to exhaust your heart and soul to deal with the crown prince, so as not to be attacked by it in the future. Everything has to be painstaking, and it's no wonder that the gray hair on the sideburns doesn't increase.
In front of Li Linfu, Gong Shaoci felt a strong sense of oppression, which made him almost out of breath, he secretly swallowed a few saliva and smoothed his heartbeat.
But I heard Li Linfu say: "Dong Yanguang's recital, I look at it as it is, and there are quite contradictions in it. How do you explain his claim that Wang Zhongji and Li Ang had falsely reported their exploits, but also said that Tibet had suffered a heavy blow and that it was the best time to recapture the stone fort? ”
Gong Shaoci was suffocated, he secretly gritted his teeth, and said boldly: "Back to Xianggong, Deputy Envoy Dong is just playing truthfully based on the facts." Lee Sang-gong is a virtuous prime minister who has never been seen for eternity, and all the contradictions have come to Lee Sang-gong, and I believe that Lee Sang-gong can easily resolve ......."
In Li Linfu's eyes, there was a sudden brilliance, like two sharp swords stabbing Gong Shaoci's body.
Gong Shaoci's heart trembled, and he couldn't take it anymore halfway through. It wasn't until Li Linfu retracted his gaze that Gong Shaoci felt a lightness on his body, and his back was already slightly sweaty.
Li Linfu continued to drink tea, in order to refresh himself, he is now inseparable from the "Ming Dynasty Jade Girl" tea, the wisp of tea fragrance in the study, after a while, he slowly said: "Then Li Ang took fifty light horses, went deep into Tubo, broke the ambush city, and captured Tubo to talk about Mangbu Branch, but the facts? ”
Gong Shaoci didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Li Xianggong, there is indeed news that Fu Qi City has been burned, but whether it has really been burned or not, no one has seen it with their own eyes. However, the Tubo Da Lun Mang Bu Zhi has indeed been captured back to Longyou. ”
"Is it true that Leon is in collusion with that princess Subi?"
"Back to Li Xianggong, this should be true. Li Ang's life experience is like a mystery. Last spring, Li Ang was captured by the defenders of Jiannan Yerong City as a Tibetan traitor, and no one had seen him before that.
When he was captured by the defenders of Yerong City, Li Ang carried a golden knife with the four Tibetan characters of 'Subi Zhuoma' cast on it. This time, Li Ang led fifty horsemen deep into Dafeichuan, and under the encirclement and suppression of the five thousand cavalry of the princess Zhuoma, he was able to live unharmed, and it is said that during this time, Li Ang also had a private meeting with the princess Zhuoma, and no one knew what he said......
Gong Shaoci added oil and vinegar, reflecting everywhere that Li Ang was a spy of the Subi Department, and he did his best to slander.
Li Linfu was greatly moved when he heard this, but he still did not show any emotional fluctuations on the surface, for him, Li Ang is still second, and the key is Wang Zhonghei.
Now that Ji Wen and others have collected a lot of criminal evidence in the local area, they still can't help Li Heng, if they can start from Wang Zhonghe, there will be many opportunities.
Although Wang Zhongsi is deeply favored, but as a four-town festival, the military power is too heavy, it is a taboo for people and ministers, if there is evidence that Wang Zhongsi and Li Heng secretly colluded and plotted to usurp the throne, it would be good.
At this time, Dong Yanguang undoubtedly gave him a chance from God. Li Linfu and Gong Shaoci talked secretly for a while, and finally said to him: "You write back to tell Dong Yanguang, let him do it, above the court, he has his own appearance to speak for him." ”
After getting this sentence, Gong Shaoci was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "The deputy envoy of the inferior Dong has thanked Li Xianggong, and Li Xianggong's cultivation grace, Deputy Envoy Dong will definitely keep it in mind and report it later." ”
After Gong Shaoci withdrew, Li Linfu immediately prepared a carriage and entered the palace to see the emperor.
Li Longji is now like a teenager in his first love, he is infatuated with Yang Guifei, and almost all government affairs are handed over to Li Linfu to handle.
However, he is still very enthusiastic about expanding his territory. He let Wang Zhonghe, who had outstanding military achievements, sit in Longyou, which was originally to deal with Tubo. As soon as he heard that the matter involved Tibet, Li Longji took time out of his "busy schedule" to meet Li Linfu.
Li Linfu knew very well what the emperor wanted, and after paying homage, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to Dong Yanguang, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, the Tubo general Dazarugong led an army of 50,000 to invade Longyou, and was defeated by Dong Yanguang. In addition, the discord between the Tibetan monarchs and ministers and the mutual tilting of each other, the ruler belt Zhudan is wantonly purging the Mangbu tribe, causing the people of Tubo to panic and lose their morale. Deputy Envoy Dong thought that now was the best time to recapture the strategic point of Stone Fort. ”
As soon as Li Linfu said this, Li Longji couldn't help but be happy.
Now, the ministers are singing and dancing in the country, the people are rich, and the treasury is full. The country has been governed so well, for him, the emperor, what can still add glory to his dragon crown is to expand the territory.
After listening to Li Linfu's report, Li Longji immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter of attacking Tibet, and he did not wait for a moment.
