There is no doubt that Daming Palace is the most splendid and magnificent palace complex in the world today, and its architectural form has influenced the construction of palaces in many countries such as Goryeo and Japan, and is known as the palace of a thousand palaces and the oriental temple of the Silk Road.

Daming Palace has three halls: Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, and Zichen Palace.

The main hall is Hanyuan Palace, which is the most magnificent building in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty at that time. In front of the palace, there are Xiangluan, Qifeng two pavilions and the dragon tail road leading to the flat land. The whole palace sits in the north and faces south, condescendingly, the scale is grand, and the building is majestic.

The Hanyuan Hall is usually only used when the emperor ascends the throne, canonizes the crown prince, empress, or the great court. The Xuanzheng Hall to the north of the Hanyuan Hall is the place of the Chang Dynasty, and the Xuanzheng Hall has the Chinese book, the two provinces under the door, and the two halls of Hongwen and History.

The government hall is the place where the prime ministers usually hold meetings, and it is the highest deliberative body to assist the emperor in ruling the whole country. Originally located in Menxia Province, Zhongzong later moved the political hall to Zhongshu Province;

In the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, the two provinces were combined into one office, and the Zhongshu Province was responsible for drafting the holy decrees and decrees. The province is responsible for auditing and refuting, and the two provinces are called Zhongshu Menxia after being combined in one office, so as to improve the efficiency of handling government affairs.

Those who are eligible to participate in the meeting of the political hall are originally only the governors of the three provinces (Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Shangshu left and right), and they are the ex-officio prime ministers.

Subsequently, the emperor used other officials to participate in the meeting of the political affairs hall, which was called the governor of the political affairs, the three products under the Tongzhongshu Sect (later gradually unified into the name of the Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhongshu Sect), and he was also the prime minister.

For example, if it is peaceful today, the country is rich and the people are strong, the emperor has just canonized the concubine, and he is addicted to the wind and snow, and he rarely goes to court.

Li Linfu, who is the left servant of the Zhongshu Order and Shangshu, comes to the political hall early every day. Deal with the big and small government affairs of the entire empire, and the emperor's tired government. It gave him a great deal of autonomy to execute government affairs.

The fly in the ointment is that many things are still constrained by Li Shizhi, the left minister. Li Shizhi is the governor of the province. Take control of the review and rejection power.

In addition, Da Xixun, Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming, Pei Kuan, Han Chaozong, Pei Dunfu, Li Jin and others had a close relationship with Li Shizhi, which caused strong resistance to Li Linfu's appointment and administration.

The most worth mentioning is Wei Jian, as the Taishou of Shaanxi County and the transfer envoy of Jianghuai Lease Yong, who is in charge of the transfer and cashier of grain goods in the southeast, and controls the lifeblood of the imperial capital.

It was Li Linfu who was the first to attack Wei Jian. At the beginning of September, Li Linfu played the emperor, and was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department for Wei Jian's meritorious service during his tenure as the Taishou of Shaanxi County and the envoy of Jianghuai South Renyong, transshipment, and disposal.

This is really a bright ascension and a secret descent, and he successfully seized the post of Wei Jian's transfer envoy and replaced him with Yang Shenjin.

But in Li Linfu's view, this is far from enough.

His goal was to expel Li Shizhi, Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming, Pei Kuan and others from the court, or even kill them to prevent future troubles.

Because these people are deeply favored by the emperor. And it's really talented. It's just that if you are demoted from the court, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be recalled by the emperor one day.

It seems that the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, but secretly it is turbulent, and Li Linfu is waiting for an opportunity. Now the opportunity has finally presented itself;

Yesterday evening, Gongsun Jin, the servant of the ministry, visited Li Linfu and offered him a strategy. Li Linfu, who has always been scheming, listened. I can't help but applaud the case.

Early this morning, Li Linfu came to the political hall as usual. Wherever he passed by wearing the purple official robe decorated with phoenix pools, the officials along the way bowed down one after another. Don't dare to slack off.

It wasn't until he entered the political hall and saw Li Shizhi and others that Li Linfu said: "Li Xianggong is early!" ”

Li Linfu's face was clear, his official hat and robe were meticulously cared for, and he had a friendly smile on his face, which made people feel more cordial at first sight.

If you think that Li Linfu and Li Shizhi are mortal enemies, and the two sides look at each other angrily when they meet, looking like they are facing Mai Mang, then you are very wrong.

The more he faced his political enemies, the more cordial Li Linfu's attitude on the surface became, as he always was.

In the political affairs hall, it is often he who takes the initiative to greet Li Shizhi, who is humble and polite. is a person who knows him, and secretly gave him a sentence of "mouth honey belly sword".

Li Shizhi returned to him with a salute and said: "Li Xianggong came just in time, Fan Yang Jiedu made An Lushan ask for grain and grass to arrive again, saying that this year is a crusade against Xi and Khitan, and the loss of various towns in Youzhou is huge, please ask the imperial court to allocate more grain and grass as soon as possible for the soldiers to spend the winter." ”

Li Linfu knew about this. In March this year, the emperor married Princess Jingle to Khitan Li Huaijie; Princess Yifang married Li Yanzhong. By September, Li Huaijie and Li Yanpet both killed the princess and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan sent troops to attack it. ”

Li Huaijie and Li Yanzhong had just married the princess of the Tang Dynasty, why did they both kill the princess and rebel against the Tang Dynasty in just a few months. One of them is very suspicious.

Some people say that An Lushan wantonly plundered and killed the Xi people and the Khitan for the sake of military exploits, and it was the two clans that killed the princess and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. However, Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and there is no empirical evidence from the imperial court.

An Lushan wrote to the imperial court, saying that the Xi and Khitan were the first to commit crimes, and they sent troops to kill the Xi and Khitan people who came to plunder, and killed the princess with the anger of Li Huaijie and Li Yan, and both rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

Now, An Lushan is sending troops to attack the Xi people and the Khitan, and the concerts of asking for grain, grass and ordnance are one after another.

Li Linfu took the recital and looked at it, no matter whether it was right or wrong, the two princesses of the Tang Dynasty were killed, this is a fact. When it comes to this, if you don't crusade, how can Datang have face?

What's more, An Lushan has always been attached to him, every time he enters Beijing, the gifts of the cart are pulled to the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter what, Li Linfu has to stand up to An Lushan.

"The crusade against the Xi people and the Khitan cost a lot of military resources and salaries, once this piece is handed to the emperor, I am afraid that the saint will be worried again." Li Linfu sighed.

At this time, Gongsun of the Ministry of Officials said to Li Linfu with a happy face: "Li Xianggong, great joy!" Xiaguan heard that a gold mine had been discovered in Huashan......"

Gongsun Jin was halfway through speaking, and when he saw Li Shizhi present, he hurriedly stopped talking, Li Linfu coughed lightly twice, and took Gongsun Jin to the room to talk about things.

Li Shizhi was curious, and couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen, and vaguely heard Gongsun Jin say: "Xianggong, Huashan has dug up a gold mine, once this matter is played, the saint will definitely be happy." ”

Li Linfu cautiously asked, "Where did you get the news, have you ever sent someone to verify it?" ”

"This is the news that the dog heard, and the lower officials were afraid that there was a mistake, so they personally sent someone to verify it yesterday, and this matter is very true."

"Good, great! This is a great achievement, and the Japanese official will play the holy ......"

When Li Shizhi heard this, his heart moved. Li Linfu is now deeply favored, such a great achievement, if Li Linfu is allowed to go, the holy favor will become more and more prosperous, which is really not good.

Li Shiyi gritted his teeth and decided to preemptively play the matter. He immediately returned to his office, wrote hard, and soon wrote the cantata.

Li Shizhi was secretly happy to be able to grab this great achievement, how did he know that once this piece was handed over, he would be locked in the ghost gate!
