Chapter 42 The Eunuch of Power

After dinner, Li Linfu's motorcade set off again and headed for Gaolishi's mansion, Li Qingan urged him to step forward and whispered outside Li Linfu's carriage: "Xiangguo wants to find me?" ”

Li Linfu said with a smile in the carriage: "I want to tell you about this battle of Xiaobolu, you fought a very wonderful battle, I heard that the emperor was so happy that he didn't sleep well all night, and praised Gao Xianzhi again and again for living up to his expectations, and you meritorious generals will be rewarded, and your merits are in second place." ”

"Thank you for your favor."

"Captain Li doesn't have to be too humble, this is your military exploits, and he deserves it."

As soon as the topic changed, Li Linfu asked lightly: "I heard that Gao Xianzhi and Fu Meng Lingcha are not in harmony, have you heard of this matter?" ”

"Back to Xiangguo, his subordinates are lowly and small, and they dare not discuss high-level matters."

"It's okay, just talk to me casually, I want to hear what you junior officers think."

"Xiangguo has an order, and his subordinates dare not obey, and he is just a small captain, and he has to be valued by the handsome, for fear that his radical words will mislead Xiangguo."

Li Linfu was silent, and after a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Very good, handle it decently, no wonder Gao Xianzhi will let you deliver the letter." ”

There was no sound in the carriage, Li Linfu seemed to be asleep, no longer paying attention to him, the convoy continued to walk forward, and soon entered the gate of Yishanfang, Gaolishi's mansion is located in Yishanfang, which is close to Daming Palace, if there is something in the palace, Gaolishi can enter the palace immediately.

Gao Lishi's original surname was Feng, born in poverty, he entered the palace in the era of Wu Zetian, and was quite appreciated by Wu Zetian, but he had a unique vision for Li Longji, who was the king of Linzi at that time, and became his confidant.

Although Gao Lishi is a eunuch, he has an extraordinary political vision and decisive surname, "good at riding and shooting, one shot, the three armies are convinced", there is indeed the style of a general, after Li Longji ascended the throne, he held great power, not by blindly welcoming and stammering, but can play a powerful political help and emotional care for Li Longji at a critical moment, in the Tang Dynasty, he is the second most powerful person after Li Longji, even Li Linfu has to look at his face to act, today Li Linfu came to visit, it is for Lu Jingrong's death.

Xiangguo's carriage arrived, as early as a hundred steps away, there was a tailwind leg rushed into the house to report the news, although Gao Lishi was in power, but Li Linfu's face he still had to give, hearing the news, he hurriedly greeted the house.

Gao Lishi is about sixty years old, medium and slightly tall, although he is over the age of sixties, but his physique is still very strong, as soon as Li Linfu and the carriage stopped, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said: "The wind is cold and the night is cold, but Xiangguo personally came to the door, which made the old man shine!" ”

Li Linfu also got out of the car and said with a smile: "I was worried that Gao Weng didn't return in the palace all the way, but I didn't expect to come back, it seems that God favored me." ”

"Xiangguo is serious, no matter how busy the palace is, the old man will also go back to the house, come! Xiangguo followed me into the house. ”

Gao Lishi affectionately took Li Linfu's arm and walked up the steps, the Zhu Gate on Gao Lishi's Mansion creaked open, this kind of courtesy is all over the world, except for the emperor's concubine, only he Li Linfu can enjoy.

Li Linfu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, he was very satisfied with Gao Lishi's attention to him, Gao Lishi is the emperor's shadow, the shadow is upright and the body is not slanted, from this detail, it can be seen that the emperor's attitude towards himself has not changed significantly.

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Linfu, he knew why Li Linfu came, Lu Jingrong was critically ill and had resigned from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor issued an order today to remove him from the position of Zhongshu, this Tang Dynasty has one more phase, if Li Linfu does not come to him to inquire about the news, it will be a strange thing.

But whether Li Linfu wanted to work part-time on his own or recommend others, Gao Lishi was not sure, so he quietly invited Li Linfu into his study.

The two sat down separately, the maid served them tea, and then retreated, Gao Lishi picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "I don't know what Xiangguo is visiting today?" ”

Li Linfu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I heard that Gao Weng has also formed a polo team, ready to participate in the polo tournament early next year, it is said that they are all among the best masters, I have been in love for a long time, so I came to take a look." ”

Gao Lishi squinted his eyes and smiled: "It turns out that Xiangguo is also like this, yes, I have a polo team, but their skills are still far behind!" I'm afraid it will disappoint Sangkook. ”

"I beg Gao Weng to let me see it!"

"That's good! Xiangguo, please come with me to the West Courtyard. ”

Gao Lishi stood up, and took Li Linfu to the West Courtyard, polo is the national sport of the Tang Dynasty, not only the state and county have polo teams, but also many clan magnates have their own private polo teams, Gao Lishi is the second person in the world, with a family fortune of hundreds of millions, plus he loves polo, of course he also has his own polo team, every year, why did Li Linfu only hear about it today?

Colliers knew that watching polo was just an excuse for Li Linfu.

The mansion occupies a large area, and the west courtyard is a small polo field, and before you even enter the field, you can hear the loud shouting and the fierce sound of horses' hooves.

"It's about to be a competition, these bunnies are still competitive, they won the twelfth place the year before last, and my task this time is to enter the top ten, no, they are practicing hard!"

At this time, Li Linfu turned around and beckoned to Li Qing'an, who was following behind, "Captain Li, come here." ”

Li Qingan was stunned and walked up slowly, Gao Lishi was also a little stunned, what is Li Linfu going to do? Introducing a little lieutenant officer.

Li Linfu said with a smile: "Gao Weng, this Captain Li is from Anxi, he plays polo very well, this time he will represent our Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to compete, I will introduce Gao Weng first." ”

Li Qingan immediately saluted and said, "See Gao Weng for your humble position!" ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Linfu is the protector of Anxi, and it is normal to introduce an Anxi polo master to Gao Lishi, who loves polo, but how shrewd Gao Lishi is, he immediately heard that Li Linfu has an extraneous voice.

He looked at Li Qing'an and said with a slight smile: "Captain Li's robe has not faded, did he come directly from Xiao Bolu?" ”

Gao Lishi's name, Li Qing'an heard about it since he was a child, and he also watched a Peking Opera of "The Drunken Concubine", in which Gao Lishi is a clown with a white nose, stupid and arrogant, which impressed him very deeply, but in fact, the Gao Lishi he sees today is a scheming politician, shrewd and spicy, and there is no arrogance in him.

Li Qing'an hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Gao Weng is right, the humble position is from Xiao Bolu. ”

Li Linfu next to him interjected and smiled: "Gao Weng may not know that this Captain Li is Li Qing'an, who ranks second in the merit book of Xiao Bolu." ”

"Oh! It turns out that you are Li Qing'an, who flew over the city of Archu and cut off the Tubo Bridge, what a warrior. ”

Gao Lishi patted him on the shoulder approvingly, and said with a smile: "Do you know what official position the emperor has given you?" ”

"I don't know what I do."

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Linfu and said with a smile: "Since Xiangguo doesn't say it, then I won't say it either." ”
