readx; Li Qing'an, Yang Guozhong and others left, but Li Linfu did not leave, Li Longji secretly ordered someone to keep him, and the meeting place was changed to the imperial study next to it, and there were only two of them in the warm and bright room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiangguo, I asked you to stay because I wanted to discuss with you the rewards of Anxi Jun and Li Qingan, they have been in Beijing for a few days, and they can't be delayed any longer."

Li Linfu's heart moved slightly, the last time he discussed rewarding Gao Xianzhi, Yang Guozhong participated together, but this time he didn't let him stay, obviously Li Longji didn't want Yang Guozhong to interfere in this matter, maybe there were other reasons.

"Your Majesty does you have a plan?"

Li Longji smiled slightly: "I only have some ideas, and the specific plan still needs to be drafted by the Chinese Book Province." ”

"I am willing to share my Majesty's worries!"

Li Longji pondered for a while and said: "Li Qing'an was able to defeat Da Shi this time and consolidate the Hezhong region, I thought he was very meritorious, and he proposed to change the state capital in Lingxi, and implement direct military and political management, and move Anxi to protect the broken leaves, these I agree, but the problem arises, if that is the case, Li Qing'an's power is inevitably too great, and the road is far away, and the imperial court is not well controlled, which is very dangerous, so I consider implementing the separation of military and political affairs in Anxi, or implementing the protection and management of Anxi Dadu, what does Xiangguo think?" ”

Li Linfu's heart jumped, Li Longji really wants to limit Li Qing'an's power, and the implementation of the separation of military and political affairs may be too big a blow to Li Qing'an, and now that Li Qingan is in the limelight, it is estimated that Li Longji will not dare to adopt this article, and the implementation of the Anxi capital is slightly softer than the actual management, and he discussed this matter with himself, it should also mean this, the key is who to send to take charge?

Li Linfu thought for a while and said: "The implementation of the integration of military and political affairs in the capital has always been customized, and Lingxi has just calmed down, and it seems that it is a little inappropriate to immediately send someone to manage government affairs. ”

Li Longji smiled, "I also have this idea, and I want to send a prince to Anxi, of course, I don't want to cut Li Qing'an's power, it's just that there is a prince sitting in Anxi, I am more at ease, what does Xiangguo think?" ”

Li Linfu understood what Li Longji meant, in fact, he was to send a monitor, but it was not necessarily to seize power, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, since it is not a reduction in power, the minister suggested that the surname Suo does not need to be crowned as the capital protector of Anxi, so as to avoid future contradictions, or change the title of the Longyou Dao vassal to appease the ambassador, you can be stationed in Anxi or Beiting, so it is more ambiguous, and it will not make Li Qingan sensitive, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

The scope of Longyou Road in the Tang Dynasty is extremely wide, from the west of Longyou, including Longyou, Shuofang, Hexi, Anxi to the westernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, are the jurisdiction of Longyou Dao, Li Linfu put forward this plan, obviously weakened Li Longji's sense of cutting power, from his original intention he opposed Li Longji to send the prince to Anxi again, he thought that there was no must, but he also knew Li Longji's paranoia, and decided that the good things would not be easily changed, but could only be guided and weakened.

Li Longji thought about it, it's okay, there are eunuchs in Anxi itself, so add a hoop to Li Qing'an, so that the military and government are monitored, forgive him and don't dare to make a rash move, thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Since I and Xiangguo have reached a consensus on supervision, I want to talk about how to expand Anxi's strength." ”

Li Linfu suddenly realized that Li Longji wanted to expand the strength of Anxi, but he was not worried about Li Qing'an, so he decided to send the prince to sit in the town, which was really a blessing in disguise, and he hurriedly said: "Please instruct Your Majesty!" ”

Li Longji took out Li Qing'an's thick debriefing report and said: "Li Qing'an's debriefing report, what impressed me the most was his proposal to relocate landless peasants to Anxi for reclamation, so as to control Anxi in essence, and can partially solve the contradictions accumulated due to land annexation. These three places had the most serious land contradictions, so as to prevent them from gathering people to rebel, and at the same time gave the Anxi Protectorate the right to resettle, so that I had to send a prince to sit in Anxi, and I also planned to build a Tang Straight Road to Anxi, so as to shorten the time from Chang'an to Anxi and strengthen the control of the imperial court over Anxi. ”

'Generous! Li Linfu secretly admired, who said that Li Longji was mediocre, he was sober and more powerful than anyone else, immigrated 400,000, built the Tang Straight Road, and completely controlled Anxi, Emperor Taizong did not have such great courage back then.

"Your Majesty, how do you reward Anxi Jun and Li Qing'an?"

Li Longji nodded, and continued: "It is easy to reward the Anxi army, I gave Anxi the right to mint money, and allowed the circulation of gold and silver money, I can continue to give them the quota, I consider that it is about 600,000 yuan, and the fallen soldiers can be given land pensions on the spot, but it is Li Qing'an's reward, I can't make up my mind." ”

"Your Majesty will talk about it, and the minister will consider it for Your Majesty."

"Hmm!" Li Longji sighed and said: "I plan to let him be the same lord as An Lushan, add the hussar general, check the military department, and seal five hundred households, these are easy to do, the key is the title, Li Qing'an is now the prince of the court, and one step up is the king of the county, if I really make him the king of the county, I am afraid that his qualifications are a little shallow, although An Lushan is the king of Dongping County, but after all, the qualifications are there, everyone is convinced, and Li Qing'an is the king of the county, I am worried that others will not accept it!" ”

Li Linfu thought about it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has a compromise plan. ”

"Oh! Xiang Guo said quickly. ”

"Your Majesty may wish to seal it in groups, not Li Qing'an alone, the minister has always had this idea, only one person named An Lushan as the king of the county, it seems a little inappropriate, it is unfair to Ge Shuhan, just when His Majesty talked about this matter today, the minister suggested that Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi should be crowned the king of the county, after all, they also have great contributions to Sheji, Your Majesty can add Ge Shuhan as the king of Xiping County, Gao Xianzhi as the king of Annan County, and Li Qingan as the king of Anxi County, so as to remove the hidden worry of Li Qing'an alone."

Li Longji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, when he was crowned An Lushan as the king of Dongping County, he opened a precedent for kings with different surnames, which has caused a little dissatisfaction in the clan, and now he has added three kings, this is not a trivial matter!

"Xiangguo, the stakes are very high, Rong Zhen think about it again."

"The minister is just suggesting, and in the end it is up to His Majesty to decide, and in addition, the minister has another request, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

"What a request, you say!"

Li Linfu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister's health is getting worse and worse, and it has seriously affected the promulgation of the decree of Zhongshu Province. ”

"Wang Jue?" Li Longji understood what Li Linfu meant, he wanted to mention Wang Heng into the prime minister, he had his own arrangements for this matter, he smiled and said: "Wang Yushi is indeed the person I trust, but I have other considerations for him, I will tell Xiangguo the decision in a few days, Xiangguo, please rest assured, I will have arrangements." ”

Li Linfu saw that Li Longji refused to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he got up and said, "Then the old minister will retire." ”

"Alright! I'm tired too, so let's all rest early. ”

...... "Your Majesty's message, drive back to the palace!" ”

．．．．．． Although the conversation between Li Linfu and Li Longji was carried out in secret, it still spread out quickly through various channels, and attracted attention in a small area of the high-level, and several pieces of information were revealed in this conversation, one is that a prince will go to the Western Regions to sit in town, but it is not determined who this prince will be, and second, it is to increase the canonization of the prince with a different surname, although it is only a suggestion put forward by Li Linfu, but Li Longji has no clear objection, which makes some people concerned feel uneasy.

Finally, and the most influential information, that is, from Wang Heng's appointment, a message was revealed that Li Longji is very likely to reorganize Xiangguo, which means that another division of power is about to begin.

That night, a small banquet was held in Li Linfu's house, Wang Hui took his wife, Cheng Luo Xixiao in the imperial history took his wife and daughter, and Li Linfu's brother, Yangzhou Taishou Li Fudao took his daughter, as well as his eldest son Li Xiu, second son Li Wei, third son Li Yu, and eldest son-in-law Zhang Boji, he is now Honglu Siqing, dozens of people gathered together, Li Qingan has not officially married, so he did not bring Dugu Mingyue, but brought Jiang Wuyi, after all, she is Li Linfu's niece, and she is also her own person, This is Li Linfu's most core member.

Li Linfu held a family banquet at this time, obviously to give Li Qing'an a reception, and it was also a kind of celebration to celebrate today's victory, but only Li Linfu, Wang Heng, and Li Qingan knew that tonight, there was a deeper meaning.

The banquet was held in the small hall of Li Linfu's inner house, the small hall was steaming, very lively, Li Linfu sat in the middle of the seat, leaning on the soft mattress, the two concubines waited on the left and the right, on both sides were the seats of Li Qingan and Wang Heng, but the two were not there now, only their wives were in their seats.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and today Li Linfu's spirit is also extraordinarily full, as soon as he washes his usual sickness, he nodded and smiled at Wuyi: "Wuyi, you are more beautiful than before, and your complexion is better, who said that Anxi is not a good place?" ”

The dance dress is dressed up very beautifully today, she has always been a white long skirt, but today she has put on a bright red six-panel wide skirt for the first time, with a pale green long drapery on her shoulders, and a half-arm embroidered waistline, revealing a snow-white chest, a string of sparkling gemstone necklaces hanging around her neck, combing a high bun, black hair like a cloud, a green feather hairpin is inserted obliquely in her hair, her face is still not fat powder, she is beautiful, this dress looks extremely gorgeous, particularly dazzling in the hall, all the ladies are eclipsed in front of her, Li Linfu's three sons are even more eye-catching.

The mood of the dance dress in the past two days is particularly comfortable, she is finally free, the shackles that have pressed on her for nearly ten years have finally been broken, and a document dissolving the marriage contract has brought her life to a new starting point, and today she specially put on a scarf on behalf of the marriage, which means that she is Li Qingan's wife.

Thinking back to the time when she was under the fence of her uncle's house, recalling the desolation and helplessness when she escaped from her uncle's house, and now she has returned in style, the world is hot and cold, and she is very emotional.

Hearing Li Linfu's praise, her pretty face was slightly red, and she hurriedly smiled: "Uncle may not know that I have already dissolved the marriage contract with the Cui family." ”

"Oh! When did this happen? Li Linfu also asked in surprise.

"It was the day before yesterday that Mingyue repeatedly negotiated with the Cui family for me, and they finally gave in."

"Dancer, congratulations."

Li Linfu raised the teacup and said, "I'll replace wine with tea, let's have a drink." ”

"Uncle, I should respect you!" The dancer picked up her glass and drank a glass of wine shallowly, a touch of blush floating on her pretty face.

Li Linfu laughed: "I remember that you never drink, okay!" Everyone is happy today, and I will have a drink too. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the wine jug to pour wine, which frightened his son and daughter and hurriedly persuaded him, "Father, your body can't drink." ”

Several of his daughters looked at Maiyi with a dissatisfied gaze, didn't she know how serious her father's illness was?

Wuyi felt a little sorry in her heart, she put down her wine glass, and looked around for Li Qing'an, when Mrs. Wang Heng sat down beside her, whispered a few words in her ear, and pointed to a nearby hut with a smile.

．．．．．．． In the hut, Wang Heng knelt down to Li Qing'an, hugged his fists and said: "The general's life-saving grace, Wang Heng remembers it from the bottom of his heart, please accept my worship!" ”

"You can't do this!"

Li Qing'an hurriedly helped him up and said, "How can I, Li Qing'an, be able to be worshiped by Wang Yushi." ”

"If it weren't for the general who saved Xing Wei last night, if it wasn't for the general exposing Yang Guozhong's poisonous plan in Datong Hall today, my Wang Jue should be in prison in Dali Temple at the moment, and An Neng is standing here talking to the general?"

Wang Heng is indeed telling the truth, in history, Wang Heng was framed by Yang Guozhong's 'Xing Wei case', and was finally killed by Li Longji, and his brother was also killed with a cane, and it was after this case that Yang Guozhong began to dominate the court, and Li Linfu also completely declined.

But because of the appearance of Li Qing'an, a person who changed history, there was an accident in Xing Hui's case, and Wang Heng was also preserved, but Wang Hui's preservation was completely different from Yang Shenjin's preservation, Yang Shenjin did not have Wang Hui's ability and means, and in the cruel power struggle, Wang Heng was even better.

Wang Heng's family is also a Guanlong family, suffered a heavy blow when Tang Gaozong, when in order to weaken the power of the Wang family, Tang Gaozong borrowed the hand of Wu Zetian, abolished the queen Wang, so that the Wang family collapsed, but after all, the Wang family is a famous family, talented people, in the Tianbao period, Wang Heng relied on Li Linfu to rise, and now has become Li Linfu's successor, becoming Yang Guozhong's biggest political enemy in the court.

Wang Heng is also very clear about the real purpose of Li Linfu's banquet today, all of them are supporting roles, the protagonists are him and Li Qing'an, Li Linfu wants them to form an alliance to fight against Yang Guozhong, which is also what Wang Heng is looking forward to, and today, Li Qing'an is fighting against Yang Guozhong for him with a clear banner, this is an obvious signal, Li Wang's alliance has been a matter of course at this time, the two of them have such obvious complementary surnames, a local prince, a court minister, for the common interests, They will be a perfect political pair.

Li Qing'an and Wang Heng glanced at each other, they didn't need to say anything, both of them tacitly looked up and laughed together.

"You two, you don't need me to say anything more!"

Li Linfu appeared at the door with a smile, he stepped forward and waved his hand, "Sit down first!" I have a few words to say. ”

The three of them sat down, and Li Linfu muttered for a while and said to Wang Hui first: "Don't pursue the assassination of King Di, I can see that the saint has understood, this matter is over, and that Ren Haichuan will be secretly executed tonight." ”

Wang Heng hurriedly bowed down and said, "I understand my humble duties, and I will deal with this matter tonight." ”

Li Linfu nodded, and said to the two of them: "The biggest problem in the court now is the emptiness of the East Palace, it has been almost two years, the prince has never been determined, this is definitely a very serious problem, Jinshang's health is getting worse and worse, and he can no longer avoid the prince's problem, according to the news I got from the palace, it is likely that the emperor's eldest grandson will enter the East Palace, this news will definitely cause an uproar in the court, you two just know it in your hearts, and you can't go out to spread it." ”

Li Qing'an and Wang Heng both agreed, Li Qing'an already knew about it from Gao Lishi, but he didn't expect to get the same news from Li Linfu, it seems that Li Jiao's possible surname in the East Palace is indeed very big.

Li Linfu glanced at Li Qing'an and said with a smile: "Gao Lishi said the same thing!" ”

Li Qing'an nodded silently and sighed slightly: "Gao Weng also has a sense of retreat. ”

Li Linfu also sighed: "We are all old, it's time to retreat, and the future Tang Dynasty will be supported by you." ”

He smiled at Wang Jue again: "Today I proposed to the Holy Lord that you be the Zhongshu Shilang and be in charge of the affairs of Zhongshu Province, but the Holy Lord said that there are other arrangements for you, so I congratulate you first." ”

Wang Heng was overjoyed, he understood what Li Linfu meant, that is, he was about to enter the photo, which was what he had dreamed of for so many years, and he gave a deep salute to Li Linfu, "Thank you Li Xiangguo for your support over the years!" ”

Li Linfu smiled and accepted Wang Heng's thanks, he needed Wang Heng to show his sincerity to himself, and then he said to Li Qing'an: "General Li, your news is mixed, do you want to hear the joy first, but listen to the worry first?" ”

Li Qingan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Li Xiangguo will talk about worries first!" I like the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, please say! ”

Li Linfu stroked his palms and laughed, "Well said!" I like this sentence, and I like your attitude, so I'll say it bluntly, the Holy Lord is ready to send the prince to sit in Anxi. ”

As he spoke, he looked into Li Qing'an's eyes, trying to find frustration in his eyes, but all he saw was a gaze as still as water, and he couldn't see any frustration and disappointment in Li Qingan's eyes, as if the prince had nothing to do with him sitting in Anxi, Li Linfu couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Li Qing'an is getting more and more spicy.

"What, aren't you worried?"

Li Qingan smiled faintly, "What about worrying?" What if you don't worry? May I ask Xiangguo, the prince is in charge, is he supervising the army or managing the government? ”

Li Linfu shook his head and said, "I don't supervise the army, nor do I care about politics, I just monitor you." ”

"So, what do I have to worry about?"

Li Linfu smiled: "Okay! Let me say a good thing, the reason why the Holy Lord decided to send the prince to sit in Anxi is because he accepted your suggestion and decided to expand the power of Anxi, and within three years he will move 400,000 households into Anxi, and the right to dispose of the immigrants will be handed over to you. ”

This time, Li Linfu finally saw a hint of joy in Li Qing'an's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and secretly thought: "I thought you really didn't care? It seems that this is exactly what you expect, Li Qingan, do you think the old man doesn't understand your mind? ’

At this time, Li Qing'an pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder if the saint mentioned the matter of Anxi's troops?" ”

"Nope! He didn't even say which prince to send to Anxi, and what your reward was, he didn't make it clear, but I can tell you one thing unequivocally, the Holy Lord will not cut your army now, at least not this year. ”

Speaking of this, Li Linfu sat up straight and smiled: "If you want to know what the reason is, I suggest you visit Ge Shuhan in the next few days." ”
