Judging from his life, he dared to fool anyone, but he didn't fool Concubine Wu Hui, so I mentioned earlier when I talked about Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Wu Hui may be very charismatic, in other words, I think Li Linfu has a good impression of her.

There are three phases to this fight. I simply said it in my own words.

1, Li Linfu befriended the princess's brother and prepared to frame the princess's family to shake the prince's status and implicate the prince. As a result, the crown prince, "and the crown prince is self-explanatory, and Lin Fu is deposed." Li Linfu prepared to conspire to frame the prince's other lover, in the same way, and succeeded in a certain process, taking the opportunity to get rid of many dissidents, "arrest Pei Dunfu, Li Yong, etc., all of whom Lin Fu is jealous of, and kill them in a row." "Note that these people do not have personal grudges with Li Linfu, but these people are loyal ministers, simply put, they are not attached to him, and they may potentially affect his power. But it still didn't hang up to the prince, and the prince's handling was the same, "the prince also made a good woman as a concubine", and drove his daughter-in-law away. In the first round, Li Linfu failed, "Lin Fu planned to be deposed", either the prince was smart, or there were masters around the prince. Although Li Linfu failed in the first round, it was obvious that the prince was very passive, and Li Linfu was completely active.

2. The second round of struggle. Since internal correlation is not good, then external. Here, some people may wonder why Li Linfu didn't directly catch the prince's fault and wanted such a troublesome connection. This is Li Linfu's brilliance. Tang Xuanzong was not a complete fool, nor was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so excited, he heard that the prince had tricked him, so he killed the prince. Li Linfu is more scheming and calculating than all the traitors in history, and his IQ is much higher, if you directly catch the prince's fault, one is not easy to catch, the prince seems to be obviously very cautious here, and the other is that even if you catch the prince's fault, there is a problem, you are spying on the prince's news, the emperor has an opinion on you, and it is easy to get angry. Li Linfu is not Li Yifu, he is not arrogant and reckless when he is ambitious, but he is very careful when he is proud. In the second round, he started from the outside, "Not a few, don't drive Wei Lin in Jiyang, and make Wang Zhonghei want to support the prince in Hexi." "He instructed people to slander the prince for preparing to rebel, to get rid of the prince, in addition to slandering his rebellion, other methods are not good, I estimate that he began to get close to the prince, the prince's lover and family, it is also this purpose, but that one is more secretive, this is more obvious, it is his secret method does not work, and he has no way to go. It turned out to be another failure. "The emperor doesn't believe it", and Tang Xuanzong said, "My son is inside, and I have to hear about outsiders?" This is delusional! ”。 Don't underestimate Tang Xuanzong's IQ. Li Linfu was able to carry out many treacherous schemes, and he also relied on the fact that he happened to grasp Tang Xuanzong's IQ. To be able to call an emperor with such a high IQ as a dog, you have to be very intelligent. Li Linfu still failed in the second round, and it was a bit thrilling. It's easy to bury yourself in it. It is clear that it is becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

3, in the third round, Li Linfu used a killer weapon to let the emperor be his dog and bite for him. One day, he said to the emperor, "The ancients established the prince and must be virtuous first, unless there is a great power in Zongji, then Mo Ruo Yuanzi." By the way, here is that the queen is counted first, the queen's children are arranged, and then the children of other concubines are arranged, the emperor thought for a long time and said, "King Qing hunted in previous years, and he was very hurt for the pig." "The children who should be in the queue were injured in the face by the animals and broke their faces. A person with a scar on his face is not easy to be an official today, and the emperor also needs to save face. What's more, the Tang people attach great importance to appearance. Then Li Linfu said fiercely, "Isn't breaking the face better than breaking the country?" That is to say, if the face is broken and the emperor is broken, the country is fine, and the face is good, when he is the emperor, he wants the country to be destroyed, but Li Linfu is a master of language, and he speaks implicitly. Very meaningful. Don't understand that sentence as saying that a broken face can still heal and will not affect the country. Because Li Linfu's meaning, of course, is not to ask that King of Heqing to be the prince, but to attack the current prince. This sentence is high. Tang Xuanzong did not answer directly. Despite this, in the third round, Li Linfu should still have won. He had planted the seeds of suspicion. Although the historical descriptor said very seriously, "However, the prince thinks he is filial piety, and there is no rumor inside and outside, so Fei Yu is not allowed to enter, and the emperor has nothing to guess." The trouble is that the emperor has already begun to "guess", as long as he guesses, he will guess sooner or later. It is not uncommon in Chinese history and today, and it is not uncommon in Chinese history and today to make something out of nothing.

The struggle with the court and the crown prince proves that Li Linfu's power position has reached its peak, and this peak is not the peak of the ministers, but even equivalent to the monarch. In these battles, the emperor often became Li Linfu's lackey, but due to the feudal system, he could not sit in the position of emperor. The essence of these battles, Li Linfu can be regarded as victorious. There are really not many other places he can fight, and the peak of the battle has been fought for by him.

The following historical describer, describing some of his little things. These little things are interesting.

"Lin Fu is good at nurturing the king's desires, he is the emperor who lives in Yanshi, Shen Gu is at the table, and the main virtue is declining." This is not something that can be done by flattery. Tang Xuanzong is not Tang Gaozong.

"Every time Lin Fu plays, he must first pay the left and right, judge the micro purpose, and use the letter of solidity, to the husband and the maid are all rich, so the movement of the Son of Heaven must be obtained", he is very good at spying intelligence, not afraid of money, he has such a high status, status, power, the emperor's cooking, the palace maids around him, whatever, he buys, and he buys it greatly.

"Sex is secret, endure and kill, and don't see joy and anger. The face is soft, if it is amiable at the beginning, it is not only deeply obstructed, but it is impossible to get it. "The historical evaluation is more pertinent. To put it simply, it is a thoughtful personality, likes to act quietly, has a soft complexion, is moody, easy to approach, and difficult to be intimate.

"If the minister does not enter through his door, he will be sins; The detached one, although the villain is the one who is important. "A real traitor. The power of the emperor to reward and punish fell into his hands. Wu Zetian, who manipulates the world with a woman, once said that the power of the emperor only relies on rewards and punishments, and in the era of Wu Zetian, precisely because the rewards and punishments were decided by her, and she was more wise, history believes that the era of Wu Zetian is also a prosperous age. Nor did it become a chaotic world. Tang Xuanzong was not good in his later years. Of course, this is only one factor, not the whole story.

There are many interesting little things about Li Linfu below. I don't want to write a story about one person, I just want to explain one person as much as possible. If you are interested, you can read his original biography directly, and I personally think that the paragraph describing his trivial things is much more wonderful than many prose writings now.

There are also a lot of narratives in the original biography, and I won't list them all because I don't think there's much more to say. It's just different interpretations of the same theme, and there is no big difference in the core. Li Linfu, clamping down on his words and ensuring his position of power, used all kinds of ingenious means, and those things were analyzed and were not much different from those in the court battles, but he dealt with them more easily, because at this time he had more power. I won't go into details, it's not that those things are bad and not exciting, it's that I don't think I can add a new understanding of Li Linfu, and if I'm interested, I should see for myself, it's just that those things are very exciting.

Let me give you an example to illustrate that Li Linfu is a master of language, although I wrote earlier, you should also be able to feel that this person speaks very well.

"The lord is above, and the ministers will be flawless, what do you mean? The gentleman and the others are alone in the battle, silent all day long, and the three products of beans are eaten; If you make a sound, you will be dethroned. Although you don't want to make a sound, you have to do it? ”

This sentence is very interesting, probably meaning that Li Linfu gave a lecture to the minister, and it was a lecture to high-ranking officials, he said, don't you know the honor guard horse? It was the horses of the honor guard, standing there all day without making a sound, because they were just going to make a show, but in this way, they ate well. As soon as you make a sound, you can't be a guard of honor horse, you are deposed, and then, can you still think of it if you can't make a sound?

This is a brilliant statement in two places. One is the "three-grade bean", of course, there are no three-grade and two-grade beans, and there are no three-grade and two-grade horses, and there are talents. If the official position given to a person is given to a horse, people will definitely not be able to do it, just like the people's teacher is very respectful, and the dog can also be called the people's teacher, that is not good, and no one dares to ask for the title of people's teacher. What Li Linfu means here is that he is talking about the three rank officials. This sentence is very coincidental, I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a proper example, just like the dog was originally said, and then suddenly said, the governor of the dog, of course the dog does not have the governor, it is equivalent to saying directly, in short, what he means here is to directly say the three grades and the officials above the three grades. Why do you say above this level, I said when I wrote Li Yifu that if you are above the third grade, you can talk to the emperor directly, and the emperor basically attaches importance to it. The grade is too low, first, I can't speak, second, I don't believe what I say, and third, what I say has to be transferred to Li Linfu.

One is, "Although you want to make a sound, do you have it?" "This is very wonderful, there are two meanings, one is, in the future, you don't want to talk nonsense, can you still be a third product? No way. One is that in the future, you will lose such a good and glorious status, and you will not be able to be a guard of honor.

As a result of this statement, the historical descriptor says, "From the admonition to the end of the road." "Later, I omitted many things to achieve this effect, so I didn't go into details, because from the beginning of the secret dispute between the imperial court, what he had to do, I mentioned, one is to eliminate the people who threaten his autocracy, and the other is to eliminate the ministers and keep his position.

In order to achieve these, he did a thing that had a great impact on the Tang Dynasty, that is, to appoint the generals to be the envoys, the purpose is that the generals have a low level of education, can not enter the court as the prime minister, can not threaten him, and later the Anshi Rebellion was indirectly caused by him, before him, the generals could not grasp the heavy army. However, if Li Linfu didn't die, An Lushan wouldn't dare to rebel, and An Lushan was more afraid of him. In other words, if he lived longer than An Lushan and An Lushan died first, there would be no Anshi Rebellion, and it would become other chaos, because this is a systemic problem, and institutional defects cannot be made up, just like the feudal system, and even any ** system will create Li Linfu and people like Li Linfu. Even the eunuch dictatorship, the bureaucratic class just regards the common people as their own face and tools, and it is difficult to really do anything for the people, Li Linfu, and even many powerful ministers in history, can go up, they are not doing anything for the people, of course, they stepped down, it is not hurting the people, this is caused by loopholes in the system. Just like Li Linfu changed the general system, military turmoil is only a matter of time before it appears. He increased the authority of the festival envoy, so that many people, like to be the festival envoy, but do not want to come to the court to be the prime minister, he has no problem when he is alive, he is very wise, not simple flattery wisdom, nor the wisdom of language, I feel that this person, if it is really a war, he is also powerful. He is alive, and everyone respects and fears him, and it will be difficult for him to do it when he dies. A good system depends on the system, not by the wisdom of some individuals.

Li Linfu lost to Yang Guozhong, who was far from his level. The chances are much better than his. When Yang Guozhong went up, "Lin Fu Bo Guozhong is loyal, fearless, and kind to the concubine." Li Linfu felt that Yang Guozhong had no ability, and because of Yang Guifei, he was better for Yang Guozhong, by the way, Yang Guifei was either born infertile, the possibility is extremely small, or there is any contraceptive technology, she has never been pregnant, Tang Xuanzong and her are not love, it is sexual love. Yang Guifei is also very innocent, this woman may be born abnormal, according to some folks, she is very smart, intelligent, free and hot, interesting, and there are rumors that her sexual organs are relatively good, and she is very proficient in the art of male and female love. These are not within the scope of judgment, saying that she is innocent is that she really did not do anything bad. Even her relative Yang Guozhong, if he uses ancient judgments to be unintentionally evil, although he is evil, he is not very evil, and Yang Guozhong is not very evil, this person is stupid. It is impossible to say that Yang Guozhong defeated Li Linfu, it is some people who have long hoped to defeat Li Linfu with the help of Yang Guozhong. And at this time, the most important thing is that God is also disgusted with Li Linfu, "sick drama". He no longer has the energy and time to deal with Yang Guozhong, otherwise, Yang Guozhong will definitely not be his opponent. Similarly, he has no personal enmity with Yang Guozhong, he started to be kind to him, and later framed him, all because of his principles, his overall situation, and his core of power, no one can shake it.

Li Linfu died, but when he died, he was still in power, and there was no one in the world. "Lin Fu has been in the phase for 19 years, he has fixed the power of the city, deceived the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the officials are all holding Lu and raising funds, and there is no one who dares to speak up." The nineteen-year prime minister, like the nineteen-year emperor, the whole world is his, and the emperor's cunning zài is nothing but his lackey. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, but he was just getting a salary, and he didn't dare to speak, and another point is that in the past 19 years, the Tang Dynasty, the country's economy has still developed, he has not harmed the country, the political situation is still stable, and he has not harmed the people. Although he planted a lot of hidden dangers, on the whole, his talent is enough to govern the country, and he did govern, it can't be nineteen years, he frames people every day, he frames people not for personal grudges, but for the core of his power, like in the era of Wu Zetian, although the cool officials killed many people, historians believe that the era of Wu Zetian is still developing, because Wu Zetian does not disturb the people. Li Linfu is the same, he is not like those traitors later, who scraped the people's fat and people's ointment, although this person cannot be said to be honest, at least not so unreliable and greedy, he may really regard the world as his own, he governed well, and even his policy of reform was indeed stable at that time.

He is different from Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong has no talent, after coming to power, he launched a war, he couldn't fight, he died a lot, forced an anti-An Lushan, but he couldn't clean up the situation. Extravagance, great grievances, and the separation of the popular class and the official class. Li Linfu did it only when he was in his chest. He didn't hurt the people, in the mediocrity of Tang Xuanzong in his later years, I personally feel that if it wasn't for Li Linfu to maintain it, the world might have collapsed long ago, it can be seen from Li Linfu's death that Tang Xuanzong is still Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guozhong is in power, and soon the world will be in chaos. In the era of Tang Xuanzong, Li Linfu was a traitor, but in the mediocrity of Tang Xuanzong's later years, he may have been a person who saved the people, otherwise, disaster might have befallen that generation of people.

Tang Xuanzong later talked about the important ministers, and his evaluation of him, "He is a son who is jealous of the virtuous and the able, and the person who is extremely powerful." People asked Tang Xuanzong, "Your Majesty knows sincerely, why is it evil for a long time?" Tang Xuanzong's reaction was "Di Mo should not". After Li Linfu's death, there were not many people who could understand Tang Xuanzong's IQ, just like a smart dog couldn't find its owner. Tang Xuanzong understood that Li Linfu was jealous of his ability, but the person who asked him did not understand what Tang Xuanzong meant, "the one who is incomparable", not that Li Linfu suppressed others and could not get ahead, but that Li Linfu's talent was unparalleled in the world. The reason why Tang Xuanzong appointed him for so long was because this person's skills were indeed unparalleled. Not only is jealousy of the virtuous, but also of governing the country. It's just because Li Linfu suppresses others too much, there are more people who hate him, and later generations scold him a lot, while Yang Guozhong is relatively few scolded, because he lacks heart and eyes, and he is not so jealous and jealous, but Tang's world is really in the hands of Yang Guozhong, of course, in the final analysis, it is in the hands of Tang Xuanzong.

During the reign of Emperor Daizong, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty said that Li Linfu was "insidious and unfavorable to the first emperor," note that they did not say that Li Linfu was unfavorable to the country and the people, but that he was not good for the first emperor. He used the emperor like a dog. He is disloyal to the king.

To sum up my opinion on Li Linfu, this person is eloquent and strategic, this kind of talent is rare in the ages, he is a master of planning, a master of language, and he is extremely capable of politics, not the emperor's lackey, he has been trying to keep his power all his life, and he has done it. He suppressed the talents of that era, which was the main point of his being listed as a traitor, and it was not a year or two, but nineteen years. generation. It is true that he is not innocent and harms the country and the people, and it is not accurate to even say that he is not right, although he is indeed a bit insidious. As a powerful minister, he is not a villain, when he does not threaten his overall situation and his power, he can even tolerate his enemies, he is not a person who solves problems with personal anger, he is very calm and cautious. In the era when he held power, he was the real emperor of that era, the emperor became a foil, if he did not die, his power would not be taken away, the biggest factor in his position of power was not the emperor's doting, but his true ability. This man is a very wise man, but the general direction is wrong. He has the ability to govern the country and enrich the people, and he also has the ability to bring disaster to the country and the people, and in the end, he chose very purely, just for power. I believe that he has done a lot of good things, a person has been a prime minister for 19 years, it is impossible to do bad things every day, not to mention that he has to do two bad things, put an end to words, and exclude people around him who can threaten his position of power, and he has done both of these things very early. In my opinion, this person is a very strange person in history, and he is not only strange in the history of being the emperor's lackey, he treats the emperor as a lackey.

When I look at historical figures, I always hope to see back people, not stories, and I also hope to jump out of many limitations, but when I see him, I feel that he is really a product of the system. An extreme product of the system. I suddenly thought, if I was born in this era, of course, it could not be the general environment in which I lived, which could still be like him, but if he was born in the United States in this era, he might be an outstanding American president. (To be continued.) )
