Li Linfu's visit to the prime minister almost surprised everyone.

If you want to say that the officials have an impression of Li Linfu, there are only three points: his ability is not bad, his writing is mediocre, and he laughs at everyone.

The first point is that those who are officials are not too incompetent, and some are also compared by those who are too good; Although the second point is deducted, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were not all talented or Confucian scholars who were selected by the imperial examination, and for Wenchen, this may be contemptible, and for other officials, as long as they don't make too low-level mistakes that make people laugh, they may even be a reason to be a confidant; As for the third point, it is a bit difficult to explain.

Because of this third point, some people think that Li Linfu is flattering, and some people think that he is very easy to get along with and can't help but get close.

In fact, Li Linfu had previously worked in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and during his tenure as the secretary of the country, he had made the Guozijian look new, and then he did not try to be famous, he was a person with a good name, and when he served as the waiter of the criminal department and the servant of the ministry, his political achievements were also remarkable. Over the years, his age and experience are enough, and he has won the favor of the Son of Heaven and Concubine Wu Hui, it is normal to become the prime minister one day, there is nothing surprising, what is really unexpected is the timing and way of his entry into the phase.

At present, after Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing entered the Zhongshu sect strongly, they have just calmed down the disputes and noises in the court for many years, calmed the hearts of civil and military officials, and let everyone follow him convincingly, and work together to serve the Tang Dynasty and the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven has always liked to appoint two prime ministers at a time, one main and one auxiliary, and now it is finally stable, it stands to reason that even if there is a new prime minister to worship, it should not be at this time, not to mention that the two prime ministers go hand in hand, and there is no room for a third party to intervene.

And one of the most wide-eyed and almost jaw-dropping is that Han Xiu, who is a civil servant and as upright as a pine and cypress, on the occasion of the resignation of the prime minister seven months later, when the words of his words were most valued by the Son of Heaven, Li Linfu, who was a capable minister, was elected as the successor!

Even if Han Xiu wants to recommend it, it won't be Li Linfu's turn, right? When did the two of them start and become so close? What is so good about Li Linfu that can convince Han Xiu and open Chrysostom?

For a while, many questions and speculations sprung up.

Speaking of this, Li Linfu should really thank Xiao Jiangyuan.

If Xiao Jiangyuan hadn't revealed to Pei Niangzi that Han Xiu was about to become prime minister, Li Linfu wouldn't have gotten the news, so he couldn't go to the door to congratulate Han Xiu before he paid his respects. Although Han Xiu is upright, he advocates Taoism, believes in ghosts and gods, and has a dream of becoming a general and serving the country in his heart. Seeing that his dream was about to be realized, he would naturally believe a little more, and Li Linfu at that time seemed to him that he could not listen to the decision of the Son of Heaven, and he had little intersection with himself on weekdays, but he could blurt out what he said, and he could really realize it afterwards, which was like a miracle for him.

Since then, Han Xiu has regarded Li Linfu as a noble person in his life, and has paid more attention to Li Linfu, thus seeing his ambition and his ability to match that huge ambition.

Li Linfu has always acted faster than he thought - within a few days, Xiao Jiangyuan heard Lu Yunniang say that Li Linfu sent her an invitation, hoping that she could enjoy her face and drink together at the most mellow wine store in Xishi.

Xiao Jiangyuan not only didn't go, but also asked Lu Yunniang to reply to Li Linfu with a letter, and only eight words were written on the letter: That's it, it's okay to do it yourself.

Of course, Li Linfu didn't believe this. In his opinion, no one will help others without purpose and demand, not to mention Xiao Jiangyuan, who has always kept a distance from courtiers and does not make a mistake, has only promoted him like this for so many years. If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, he can think of what Xiao Jiangyuan wants, and he can understand why she replied to him like this at the moment.

She used the position of prime minister in exchange for the right to interfere in politics, and she still had her own ethics as an official, so she could only help here. As for whether he will sink or rise or fall after becoming the prime minister, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he has to decide for himself, and even if he does something bad in the future, she is likely to be his help in rejecting the prime minister.

But...... How can she be sure that she will definitely close this deal with her, and she will not turn her face and deny people?

Li Linfu thinks he is a real villain, and Xiao Jiangyuan in his eyes is a gentleman between fiction and reality. Could it be ...... Did she think of herself as a gentleman, so she thought to herself that such a gentleman's agreement must be stable and would never fall apart?

This feeling is really too new for Li Linfu.

Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if there was anyone who did not feel any surprise or surprise because Li Linfu was passing through Han Xiu at this time, it was only Zhang Jiuling.

This day was the day when Li Linfu officially came to Zhongshumen to work.

Pei Yaoqing, a servant of his subordinates, is just one of the officials who feel that Li Linfu is flattering and immoral, although Li Linfu is his direct subordinate, he also knows that Li Linfu is very capable, but his impression of him is always bad, and it is deep-rooted and difficult to change.

But he has a noble character, since the Son of Heaven has worshiped Li Linfu as his prime minister, he will not allow himself to mislead state affairs because of personal feelings, let alone stumbling on Li Linfu in a despicable and shameless manner. On the contrary, he will treat and respect Li Linfu politely, and also hope that Li Linfu can be like himself, and everything will be based on state affairs.

But there are always times when he can't help it, this is only the first day, and before Li Linfu arrives, he already feels dissatisfied. Seeing Zhang Jiuling calmly reviewing the notes of officials from all over the country, he habitually came to Zhang Jiuling's side. He knew that Zhang Jiuling's attitude towards Li Linfu must be the same as his own, but he couldn't understand how Zhang Jiuling could do better than himself, and he didn't show the slightest negative emotion.

He and Zhang Jiuling have always had a straightforward conversation, which is also the reason why they are not as suspicious of each other as the previous prime ministers. He had a question in his heart, so he asked directly, only to see Zhang Jiuling raise his head and be slightly stunned, and said with a light smile: "Why does Pei Gong think that Zhang will be dissatisfied with this?" Zhang...... I don't hate Lee Sang-ko. ”

So it's not that Zhang Jiuling can hide his emotions, but he doesn't have such emotions at all? Pei Yaoqing was quite surprised by this: "Li Shilang is clearly ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Jiuling smile and stopped: "Not to mention that our understanding of him is still too one-sided, just that he will be our colleague from now on, so it is not good to talk about him like this again." ”

"Before paying homage to the prime minister, the saint asked you and me for my opinion, but you didn't say that at that time."

Pei Yaoqing knew that Zhang Jiuling was not such a person who hindered people's careers, but he was in a phase, and since the Son of Heaven asked about it, he had to tell the truth. At that time, he kept saying that although Li Linfu was virtuous, he was good at clinging, easy to form a party, and he was like drunk talk.

Forget about the other shortcomings, Pei Yaoqing also thinks so, but when it comes to things, he only feels strange - no matter how Li Linfu is not in tune, it will not be like this, why did Zhang Jiuling say this, could it be that he really heard Li Linfu's drunken words?

Hearing Pei Yaoqing ask about this, Zhang Jiuling sighed and said, "Zhang has really heard of it." ”

Pei Yaoqing was just joking, he didn't take it seriously, he thought about it and asked: "You didn't have any surprise at that time, did you already know that the saint would have this question, and even had a premonition that Li Shilang would one day stand here with you and me?" ”

Zhang Jiuling was silent, and said with a smile: "Zhang is not a Taoist immortal, how can he be a prophet?" ”

Pei Yaoqing is right to think about it. He didn't know how to describe his feelings, the moment the Son of Heaven spoke, an inexplicable awe-inspiring vine climbed up and enveloped his heart, although he immediately reawakened his senses and broke free from the coercion, but that feeling was still unforgettable.

He suddenly remembered that before answering, although Zhang Jiuling was not surprised, he was stunned for a long time - maybe Zhang Jiuling also had this feeling of his.

"I don't know if you and I will fight with him in the future......

"If it is peaceful, it is naturally the best, even if it is a ...... It doesn't hurt either. ”

This sounds a bit perfunctory, but Zhang Jiuling is unwilling to continue this topic.

Or, they don't dare to continue.

Pei Yaoqing knows Zhang Jiuling's personality, even if he doesn't dare, what he is afraid of is not that he is afraid of being ousted as prime minister, but that after the prime minister has another dispute, the court will be chaotic and mislead the country. He hopes that he can coexist peacefully with Li Linfu and work together to serve the country, so he can cooperate closely with Li Linfu, and if possible, he can be a confidant or close friend.

Zhang Jiuling can do this, but he Pei Yaoqing can't: "Even if I don't say that he is a person, but you see how long it has been, the two of us have been here for a while, and he hasn't come yet." It was ...... to be late on the first day."

Before the voice fell, I heard a burst of laughter outside the door. With this loud laughter, Li Linfu was dressed in a new purple dress, strode into the door of Zhongshu, and bowed to Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing from a distance, and made a respectful salute.

Pei Yaoqing has always been gentle, and his heart is softer, seeing that Li Linfu has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he was angry, and then he was a little weak-hearted, I don't know if Li Linfu had listened to the conversation between him and Zhang Jiuling, and how much he had listened to it. Therefore, on this day, he treated Li Linfu much more kindly than when he was a subordinate in Menxia Province before.

How could Li Linfu be late on the first day? He was just curious about what his two colleagues thought of him, so he stopped when he heard what he said, and deliberately entered a little late.

Pei Yaoqing's reaction was expected by him, he thought that Zhang Jiuling was the same, after all, the two of them had some unpleasant intersections before, but they didn't want to be like this.

His attention was on Zhang Jiuling, so he couldn't find the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind.

Li Longji didn't worry that the three of them were in the same room, so he asked Xiao Jiangyuan to go and see the situation in person, Li Linfu hid outside the door and listened carefully, and the appearance of hooking the corners of his lips from time to time fell into Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes.
