I asked this question because Li Linfu really loved talent.

Li Linfu is jealous, and it is true that he is jealous of the virtuous and disgusted, but he is also good at making good use of officials. Those who are in the article have nothing to do with him, especially the Jinshi, who he has always disdained. But he was not hesitant to promote the able-bodied, because they could not threaten his position as prime minister.

Ye Chang is even more impossible.

Now Ye Chang is only nineteen years old, and twenty has not yet arrived, even if Li Linfu spares no effort to help, he will have to climb in the officialdom for more than ten or twenty years before it is possible to come to the center to peek at the position of prime minister. Ten or twenty years later, Li Linfu did not die of old age and was only afraid of Zhishi, so Li Linfu did not think that Ye Chang could pose a threat to him.

On the contrary, Ye Chang's "financial management" skills made Li Linfu have the heart to use for me.

These skills are much stronger than those who are now managing money for Li Longji. Even if Ye Chang is only talking on paper, with his ability to make honeycomb coal and cement, as long as he makes something more, then it is enough to obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"At the time, people called a certain honey-bellied sword, and said that a certain jealous and virtuous person was jealous...... Ye Shiyi, what do you think? Li Linfu asked again.

Ye Chang felt that his head was a little cloudy.

He talks to people, likes to take the initiative, and has been almost invincible before. But in front of Li Linfu, he felt that his methods were useless, and whenever he wanted to divert the topic and take the initiative, Li Linfu looked at him with a strange look that looked very gentle but was actually sharp.

As if what he was thinking in his heart, Li Linfu knew it clearly.

And Li Linfu's question he couldn't help but answer, because Li Linfu asked two questions in a row, which obviously did not allow him to evade.

Of course, it's easy to pat yourself on the back, but how to shoot it correctly, especially without leaving trouble, is a difficult matter.

"According to what I see, among all the ministers since the enthronement of the present saint, only Yao Chong is slightly better than Li Gong, and the rest of the sons are not as good."

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chang decided not to respond to this question head-on.

"Heh, Ye Shiyi has a high opinion of the old man."

"Yao Chong is better than Li Xianggong, because he has closed the coffin, and Li Xianggong is unknown in the future. If Li Xianggong is a scholar at this time, Xianggong must also be equivalent to Yao Chong. If Li Xianggong can achieve more success in the future, he will be above Yao Chong. ”

"What you mean by your words, if the old man's actions are inappropriate, I'm afraid it is far inferior to Yao Lianggong." Li Linfu laughed.

Ye Chang compared Yao Chong to him, and he really scratched the itch in his heart. He and Yao Chong have many similarities: both are good at official affairs, both are deeply trusted by Li Longji, and both spare no effort to expel political opponents. Therefore, after laughing, he patted Ye Chang on the shoulder: "Insight can be like Ye Shiyi, the blue and purple clothes in the middle of the court, there is no one in ten, Ye Shiyi, what you said is sincere?" ”

"Sincerely" Ye Chang is not telling lies, Li Longji has become more and more absurd and extravagant in the past few years, and if it were not for Li Linfu's outstanding ability, it would have been difficult for the national strength to support it. Of course, Li Linfu only thought that Ye Chang was praising himself, but he didn't know that after Ye Chang came to this life, he found some anecdotes about the legendary virtuous minister Yao Chong, and his evaluation of this person was greatly reduced.

Li Linfu nodded, and the two entered a room on the east side of the small garden, the decoration in the room was still extremely luxurious, and even Ye Chang, who encouraged the rich to consume to drive the economy, couldn't stand it.

After Ye Chang sat down, Li Linfu let out a long sigh: "Ye Shiyi is the one who knows me, because of the position under me, many people have a flood of words for me, but they are not as good as Ye Shiyi's words. The appearance of the Tang Dynasty is not easy...... There are more than 40 million people in the Tang household register, and there are more than 30 million people in the household register, a small trouble, if it is multiplied by 70 million, it is a big trouble; And no matter how great the credit is, this 70 million is insignificant......"

Ye Chang looked at Li Linfu dumbfounded, and that look made Li Linfu feel that something was wrong. However, Li Linfu judged that he should have been moved by his frank heart, and felt that there must be another fire, so he said: "Over the years, I have almost been sleepless at night, and whenever there is a disaster, I often burst into tears...... The hardships of people's livelihood are all in my heart."

Ye Chang finally looked moved to the extreme: "Li Xianggong is loyal to the country, and he learns from him every day"

"It's good if you know the way, it's good if you know the way......"

Li Linfu repeated, and when he saw that Ye Chang didn't answer this conversation, he couldn't help but curse "little fox" in his heart. When he said this, if Ye Chang was young and hot, he would have to follow the words and say that he was willing to work for him, but Ye Chang was not fooled.

If that's the case, let's do it another way.

"Huo Xianqi has contributed to the country, how can he give it up." Li Linfu said: "Han Chaozong will write a letter to the priest himself." ”

Ye Chang trembled slightly, only to feel that the pressure was strong, and secretly scolded in his heart: Ji Wen, you are a dog

Sure enough, it was Jiwen who sold him, so Li Linfu came to him...... It's just that what is the point of Ji Wen selling him, his biggest opponent is Huo Xianqi

Ye Chang couldn't figure it out, but he said very firmly: "Huo Xianqi and his people have set a very bad precedent, he can go to Han Gong today, and he can go to Li Xiang tomorrow." ”

Li Linfu smiled, his expression a little contemptuous.

This idea provokes, how can it be effective, Li Linfu has absolute confidence and can control Huo Xianqi.

"In addition, Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian...... They are the pillars of the court, they are all the ministers of His Majesty's heart, you join the army, you must not be slandered behind people, if they know, you will be the first to accept the law of the country"

Li Linfu's words made Ye Chang stupid at that time.

He is a smart person, and he naturally knows that there are two meanings in this, one is that he holds the handle of Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, which is no different from Huo Xianqi's suing Han Chaozong, both of which are villains; On the other hand, it is to ask Ye Chang to hand over this handle, otherwise Li Linfu will leak this matter to Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, and let them clean up Ye Chang

The reason why Ye Chang is stupid is not because of fear, but because of Li Linfu's means.

Originally, Ye Chang was bargaining with Li Linfu's dream, but it turned out to be a hot potato in his hand and needed Li Linfu's help.

Lee Sang-ko...... It's really turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain. Ye Chang was dumbfounded for a moment, and then smiled.

The smile was a little bitter, he and Li Linfu, for the time being, no, in the foreseeable time, were not opponents of the same level. So Li Linfu gently and skillfully forced him into a corner.

Huo Xianqi must be punished, this is what Ye Chang promised Han Chaozong - at this time, Ye Chang suddenly understood that Han Chaozong's original appearance was only done.

Could it be that he was used by Han Chaozong again?

Looking at Li Linfu and thinking about Han Chaozong, Ye Chang felt that his head was big, and the straightforward He Zhizhang was cute.

"But it's not my business...... Li Xiang thinks, what handle do I have in my hand, how can I get Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian? If I really have it in my hands, I'm afraid that Dr. Huangfu won't let me return to Chang'an from Longyou alive. ”

Ye Chang's words made Li Linfu look stunned for the first time.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Ye Chang was still unrestrained, and he actually resolved his threat lightly.

Li Linfu could naturally leak the news to Huangfu Weiming, but as Ye Chang said, Huangfu Weiming would not believe it, if Ye Chang really grabbed Huangfu Weiming's handle, Huangfu Weiming would have killed him in the Battle of Hequ as early as possible, and would not let him come back alive.

This is the asymmetry of information, Li Linfu did not place people by Huangfu Weiming's side before, so I don't know that Huangfu Weiming actually wanted to kill Ye Chang several times, but they were all resolved by Ye Chang one by one.

"Speaking of which, the late life is indeed at odds with the Huangfu doctor, which is still due to Li Xianggong. Late life went to serve in the Longyou Army, Li Xianggong had a private letter to the Huangfu doctor to take care of him, after he saw it, he was furious, and he was embarrassed everywhere. Ye Chang has always had a question in his heart, he has already figured out that the "Li Xianggong" that Huangfu Weiming said at the beginning is Li Linfu, and why did Li Linfu send someone to send such a letter to Huangfu Weiming?

He has never had any relationship with Li Linfu, and it stands to reason that he should not have this letter.

Li Linfu raised his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Ye Chang with a somewhat strange expression.

After a while, he said slowly: "Ye Shiyi, the emperor only complains about you, but it is not the old man's letter to him, it is really your own tongue to cause trouble."

"Oh, please teach Li Xianggong."

"You are in Luoyang to discuss the side policy privately, spread to Chang'an, Li Taibai added oil and vinegar, there is a "whoever discusses and relatives will be a thief of the country", but do you know that Lu Dao, in the eighteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the dog Rong was repeatedly frustrated, but to seek peace in Chang'an, His Majesty intended to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so it was not allowed. At that time, the emperor Fu Weiming, who was an official in the court, said that the dog Rong committed the border, which was the private act of the side general, not the meaning of his praise, and my border general also wanted to start a war to seek meritorious service, and promised to ask for peace, and sent an envoy to visit the princess of Jincheng. His Majesty believed that it was true, so he sent him as a messenger to send an envoy to the dogs...... You discussed Bian Ce's words, but you turned over the old accounts and hit the face of the emperor at the beginning."

Ye Chang realized that the little initiative he had just taken back was lost again in the blink of an eye. He really didn't know what to do, and now Huangfu Weiming, who is eager to make meritorious contributions in Longyou, turned out to be the Lord and faction more than ten years ago, and he also had the experience of sending envoys to Dog Rong

In this way, everything makes sense, Huangfu Weiming, as a border general from a civil official, would not inquire about the rumors in the capital, Li Bai spread Ye Chang's side argument in the Hanlin Academy, although he did not explicitly refer to him, but Huangfu Weiming would not feel that his face was hot

And Ye Chang just came to his hands again...... I'm afraid this is also Li Longji's intention

Ye Chang only felt that the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty were all black-bellied guys, from Li Longji to Huangfu Weiming, and of course, this Li Linfu in front of him, all of them. But he prides himself on being a little scheming, and he is no different from a pure and kind little sheep.

"Therefore, the emperor's enmity with you is your own incurrence. Moreover, don't you think it's okay to come back, your position to join the army, the old man has already asked, but he hasn't solved it, and after the New Year, he has to continue to serve in the army. Li Linfu said meaningfully: "There was a Bian Lingcheng who could contain Huangfu Weiming before, but now that Bian Lingcheng is dead, no one in the inner prison is willing to be the ambassador of the prison army, who can protect you?" ”

Ye Chang swallowed his saliva, the sequelae of Bian Lingcheng being killed by the pit......

However, he was not worried about this, because after meeting with Li Longji, Ye Chang basically judged that even if Huangfu Weiming returned to the border pass, it was extremely unlikely that he would return to Longyou. Li Linfu didn't know about this either, so Ye Chang shook his head and said: "Huangfu Weiming is another matter, Li Xianggong, now he is talking about Huo Xianqi." ”

"The old man has already said it."

"If Duke Li is not Bao Huo Xianqi, it is okay, as long as Han Chaozong is not a celebrity, not Jing Zhaoyin, he can find a noble position in the court - there is no need for real power placement, for example, the prince's guests."

Ye Chang took the opportunity to say again, he knew that Li Linfu would never agree to this condition, and now that Han Chaozong was provoking Li Longji's anger, even if Li Linfu agreed, he would not be able to keep Han Chaozong.

But that's what haggling is all about, making high demands in order to compromise later.

Li Linfu laughed silently, this kind of means, playing in front of him, will inevitably make an axe. He knocked on the table twice, and then shook his head: "That's it, Ye Shiyi, I don't embarrass you, and you don't embarrass the old man...... Today's conversation is over, and the old man will send you out. ”

"In this way, I will leave later."

Ye Chang thought that Li Linfu was playing a trick to capture the old man, got up and went out, but when he arrived at the door, he didn't hear Li Linfu shouting, he couldn't retreat at this time, so he gritted his teeth and really crossed the threshold.

When he went out, the cold wind outside blew, and Ye Chang felt that he was a little sober.

He originally wanted to follow the way he came in, but after only a few steps, he saw a servant dressed up and stopped him: "Ye Langjun, the prime minister has orders, please go this way." ”

Ye Chang frowned, could it be that he was allowed to walk into the forbidden land and enter the White Tiger Hall by mistake? However, Li Linfu leaned towards the opposition and did not need to use such means to deal with him, so he was only a little suspicious, but he still followed the servant out of the court.

Li Linfu's mansion was huge, and after walking around in this continuous mansion for a while, Ye Chang was taken to a hall. The servant did not continue to move forward, but respectfully bowed his hand: "Ye Langjun, the prime minister ordered, please ask Ye Langjun to wait here, or he still has something to ask Ye Langjun." ”

When Ye Chang left Li Linfu's house, he didn't see this servant, so Li Linfu's instructions should have been given before the two met. Ye Chang was puzzled, but he still stopped in the room as he said, and after waiting for a while, he was bored, and he began to look at the surrounding furnishings.

The surrounding furnishings and displays are still luxurious, but Ye Chang is used to seeing a dazzling array of goods in another life, how can he put these things in his eyes. He just swept over, and then saw a row of books, which aroused his interest, and he stepped forward to look twice, but still did not reach for it.

At this time, it is not easy for a reader to read a book, but for Ye Chang, whether it is a Confucian classic or a notebook legend on this shelf, how much he has read it in later generations is not worth his hand.

Little did he know that just behind this lobby, several pairs of eyes were watching his every move.
