The night sinks like water.

Bian Lingcheng fell on the bed, enduring the scorching pain between his thighs, and looked at the hundred silk horses piled up inside and outside the house, but he refused to look up at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was sitting not far from the couch, lightly carrying the candle.

The candlelight flickered, and Xiao Jiangyuan's expression was faintly visible: "Twenty canes, you can't get out of bed for half a month, even if this hundred horses of silk are rewarded, you don't even have a place to store them." ”

Bian Lingcheng bowed his head and said: "Thunder and rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the lower officials are loyal to the saint, and there is only gratitude in their hearts." As for this reward, the subordinate official did not deserve it, the general was kind, and he did not make the subordinate official abrupt in the past, but also came to visit the subordinate official, and the subordinate official was willing to dedicate all the reward to the general, and hoped that the general would accept it with a smile. ”

"Who gave you the guts?" Xiao Jiangyuan smiled faintly, but his voice was very low.

Bian Lingcheng hurriedly said: "The lower official has no intention of bribing, and the general is by no means a corrupt person, this is just the filial piety of the lower official to the general by borrowing the light of the saint." ”

"You and I have worked together for many years, don't you know what I'm asking?"

"How can a subordinate official be worthy of being called a general 'working together'? It's just that he has been taken care of by the general for many years, and he doesn't dare to speculate about the general's intentions at will. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan chuckled sarcastically, and then didn't detour: "East Palace? ”

Seeing that Bian Lingcheng was silent and his face was pale, Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said, "I took a step back that day for the prince's sake." ”

"Xiaguan...... The subordinate did not understand what the general meant. ”

"Tell Li Fuguo, although the surname of this Tang Dynasty is Li, it is not yet in the hands of the prince, as long as I am in one day, this internal service province will be surnamed Xiao."

Xiao Jiangyuan has always been gentle to others, and she is also gracious and powerful, and she always has a lot of grace, and she is mostly respectful in the palace and outside the palace, and she is mostly ashamed of her when she makes mistakes, and she is rarely afraid. But on this day, Bian Lingcheng was afraid.

He suddenly found that he had been by Xiao Jiangyuan's side for so many years, and he had never understood this person.

In March of the 11th year of Tianbao, Li Longji ordered the Ministry of Officials to be changed to the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Martial Affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to the Ministry of Constitution.

Yang Guozhong was young, so he paid homage to the prime minister and concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Culture, holding the entire court in his hands in one fell swoop, which can be described as high-spirited and proud. The new official took office with three fires, and his first fire was burned to Li Linfu.

After Li Linfu's death, Li Longji gave him a grand funeral, but he was soon impeached by Yang Guozhong and the Yushitai, saying that Li Linfu had colluded with the rebel general Absi before his death, intending to rebel.

The rebel general Absi was originally the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and in March of the eleventh year of Tianbao, when he crusaded against the Khitan with An Lushan, he led his subordinates to rebel back to Mobei because of discord with An Lushan. This incident made Li Longji very angry, and at that time, Li Linfu was far away from the post of Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy.

Li Longji thought that he knew Li Linfu very well, so he didn't believe it at all, but he immediately received a letter from An Lushan, which also accused Li Linfu of colluding with Absi to rebel.

Yang Guozhong was not idle when he was in Jiannan, as soon as he heard that Li Linfu was seriously ill, he sent a letter to An Lushan, inviting him to join forces with him to bring down Li Linfu, not wanting An Lushan's news to come too slowly, and Li Linfu died too quickly. But Yang Guozhong has never given up, after all, Li Linfu has many sons, and Yu Wei is still there, if he doesn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is inevitable to make a comeback.

Yang Guozhong didn't know that An Lushan would not give an answer for a day if he did not receive the news of Li Linfu's death. Compared with Yang Guozhong, even if Li Linfu is sick and unconscious, he can make An Lushan uneasy. If An Lushan knew that Li Linfu had spoken to him before he died, he was afraid that he would wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, all this has finally passed, and An Lushan finally has the courage to directly take action to respond to Yang Guozhong's invitation.

Li Longji thought it was very strange. In his opinion, although An Lushan is Yuhuan's godson, he also had a very good relationship with the Yang family when he was in Chang'an, but he is a cousin and sister who is close to Yuhuan, and Yang Guozhong, a relative who is separated by a few layers, has always been salty and indifferent. You must know that An Lushan, as long as he is a person who may be useful to him, his attitude is excellent, but he is like that for Yang Guozhong, I really don't like it very much.

Although Li Longji values Yang Guozhong, he is not dissatisfied with An Lushan because of this, because this kind of An Lushan makes Li Longji feel real and cute.

He didn't think that An Lushan would collude with Yang Guozhong, but An Lushan did coincide with Yang Guozhong this time, does this mean that Li Linfu may have really touched this heart? After all, An Lushan had a very close relationship with Li Linfu before, and he may know something, but he has been forced by Li Linfu's power to dare not speak, and he doesn't know.

Seeing that Li Longji was still hesitating, Yang Guozhong realized that he was not fully prepared, and he had no follow-up moves. At this moment, An Lushan, the housekeeper who stayed in Chang'an to guard the Qinrenfang mansion, was actually a strategist and found Yang Guozhong.

On the second day, Li Linfu's son-in-law Yang Qixuan was introduced by Yang Guozhong to face Li Longji, saying that Li Linfu was afraid that the saint was already high and that he was afraid of the new monarch, so he moved the idea of rebellion, and Absi was the person Li Linfu colluded with, but before everything could be done, Li Linfu died of illness.

Hearing Li Linfu's son-in-law say this, Li Longji had to believe it. In disappointment and anger, Li Longji stripped Li Linfu of all his official titles, deposed all his children and grandchildren who were officials in the court, confiscated all his family property, and exiled many of his sons and sons-in-law to Lingnan.

This is not enough. Li Linfu was originally buried with the gift of a product, and since he had committed the great crime of rebellion, he had to take out the jewel in his mouth, peel off the purple official uniform on his body, remove the goldfish bag, and then change him into the white clothes of the common people, and drag him out of the Nanmu coffin of the prime minister of a country and put him in a thin coffin that is no more ordinary.

In the past, Pingkangfang was like a city, but now it is still early in autumn, but it is all Xiaoxiao.

The people thought that no one dared to climb the door of the Li Mansion again, and it would no longer be the Li Mansion again, but in front of the gate of the house on this day, more than a dozen beardless Lang Jun were found. The one at the head is dressed in purple, and he should be a big official in the palace, his temples are slightly frosted, but his eyebrows and eyes are still young. I saw that the man's posture was clear, his posture was upright, followed by two scarlet-clothed officials, and several people in green clothes, but one person was dressed in white, but he stood in the closest place to the person.

They were pulling a cart with a thin coffin on it, which was carried out of the house.

At the time of the raid, Li Linfu had not yet been buried, and Li Longji remembered that he had also worked hard and allowed him to continue to stay in the mansion and be buried in a mass grave in the future.

Xiao Jiangyuan took the initiative to ask to deal with Li Linfu's funeral, and Li Longji also agreed, but he was not allowed to mourn in plain clothes.

Mao Ying thought that except for Xiao Jiangyuan, no one was so stupid, and she was afraid that she would be alone, so she followed, but she didn't want that even if the palace eunuchs had not had a good reputation throughout the ages, there were also frank people who did not worship the high and the low.

Since Xiao Jiangyuan found out that Li Fuguo intended to use the name of the crown prince to split the Inner Servant Province and accumulate authority for herself in an attempt to gain power, she intended to distinguish which ones were still her own in the clearest way, so she did not use the soldiers of the right prison guard, nor did she use the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers. Li Linfu's case is not only to test the character of the eunuchs, but also to see who among them is loyal to her.

Few of the little eunuchs below Tsing Yi turned their backs on her, but it was Bian Lingcheng and Fu Lin in scarlet clothes who showed traces, which was still expected by her.

She thought that Feng Shenwei, who had been taught martial arts by Yang Siqiao himself, would be like this, but she didn't expect Wang Chengen to do the same.

"Aren't you his apprentice?" When he first saw Wang Chengen, Xiao Jiangyuan asked.

Wang Chengen replied: "Since he has been expelled from the sect by his master, he is no longer the master of the apprentice, but the apprentice still wants to recognize the general as the ancestor." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "Then you don't need to call me 'Master', just call me 'Master'." ”

Seeing that Wang Chengen was stunned, Feng Shenwei reached out and patted him on the weak shoulder, and actually patted him on the ground. Feng Shenwei laughed and said, "Stupid? Still not a teacher? You'll be my generation from now on. ”

Wang Chengen reacted at this time, almost crying with joy, and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Xiao Jiangyuan:

"Alright, let's go early and come back early."

She only picked a dozen young and strong eunuchs to come over, after all, Li Linfu can't be ostentatious, the number of people is enough. But she didn't expect that in the minds of the people, Li Linfu was actually a good official who strictly enforced the law and had a clear distinction between right and wrong.

When many people learned that they were transporting Li Linfu's coffin, they all saluted and sent them off, and even shouted for Li Linfu. They don't know what Li Linfu has done to disrupt national politics and exclude dissidents in the game of high-ranking people, and those are too far away for them after all. Their most personal feeling is how clear the heavens and the earth have been after the revision of the law and the impartiality of law enforcement.

Until now, Xiao Jiangyuan still remembers that number: three thousand four hundred and thirty-two.

There are a total of 7,026 articles in the Tang Dynasty's laws, orders, grids, formulas, and other codes, and Li Linfu alone revised 3,432 articles.

This is perhaps the greatest political achievement of his life.

He's a traitor, but he's not useless.

He is in one day, and Datang will settle down for one day.

And now, he's gone.

After burying Li Linfu, Xiao Jiangyuan asked Feng Shenwei and Wang Chengen to go back to Xingqing Palace, and she went home with Maoying.

Mao Ying found that Xiao Jiangyuan tonight was very different from before.

She has always regarded the pleasure of the couch only as a way to relax, or an embellishment in leisure time, although she indulges in enjoyment, she never relies on it or is fascinated. She has always been indifferent to him, but tonight she is very active, and there is a trace of enthusiasm, so that he knows that it is not, but he still can't help thinking that she has fallen and indulged in his tenderness.

"General...... But what's the trouble? His forehead was against hers, and his voice was low and soft.
