Li Linfu laughed coldly, as if he was laughing at a child who didn't know how to divide the pears, maybe those feats that needed to be fought for after licking the blood with the knife were so ridiculous in his eyes.

"High school Cheng, who said that he would not be rewarded, of course the meritorious generals should be rewarded. However, there are so many official positions in the imperial court, why do you have to give him the deputy envoy of the festival, the four towns all know the soldiers and horses. These two positions make it clear to everyone that he will take over your shift in the future. It's too dangerous like this, and it's not a good thing for you to climb to this position, and it's not a good thing for the court. ”

Gao Xianzhi hurriedly crossed his hand and asked Li Linfu: "I don't know how to determine Li Siye's official position from the right side. ”

The right minister stood up from the wooden couch, twisted his beard and looked up in contemplation, Gao Xianzhi also quickly stood up, folded his hands between his lower abdomen, and always paid attention to whether his words and deeds were appropriate.

Li Linfu paced back and forth in the inner hall for a week, turned to Gao and said: "General Weiwei of the right of the official is added, the commander is the ninth turn of the army, the lord is the county of Gaoling, the number of households has increased to 700, the number of Yongye fields has increased to 1,000 mu, and the official still serves as the envoy of Shule Town, and the deputy protector of Anxi." This is not aggrieved for him, General Right Weiwei is already from the third grade, and the protector is also regarded as from the third grade, as for the county uncle, how many county uncles can the saints have been crowned over the years? We just didn't let him enter the Anxi Protectorate to make decisions, and the rest of the parties can be regarded as giving him enough favors, even if he himself is not satisfied, others will not hold grievances for him. ”

Li Linfu is right, but for Li Siye, this is actually a bright rise and a dark immovance. But one of the biggest features of the Tang Dynasty is that there are countless official titles, just like various rankings in modern society, and they have never hesitated to give vacant positions. What is the use of many official positions for officials? Many are of no use. These three crowned right guard generals, protectors, and earls can only bring him high positions, money, and land, but they have no real power.

Gao Xianzhi naturally didn't know what Li Siye wanted, he thought that these wealth and fame could make up for the position that Li Siye should get, and he thought that what Li Siye needed was money and land, but Li Siye didn't need these two things from others, what he wanted was a journey to a distant place.

He had to clasp his hands and cross his hands and say, "Then the subordinate will go back and write a new letter." ”

"No need," Li Linfu shook his head and said indifferently: "This letter will be left with me for the time being, I can copy and revise it by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and today's matter of Li Siye will be settled like this, and I will report the song to the sage when the time comes, and you can stay in the backyard of Pingkangfang Anxi and wait in peace." ”

Gao Xianzhi understood that Anxi's personnel arrangements were all handed over to Li Linfu, and he had no right to speak. Who made him just a mere general, and the shrewd and acerbic politician in front of him is close to the peak of power.

Before he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had an idea, and he also thought that he could persuade Li Linfu to agree with his statement and his own point of view. But when he entered here, he realized that he had been completely wrong. As long as he comes to Li Linfu's home field, he will not be able to persuade the other party, but will be changed by the other party's power and words. But he didn't gain nothing, and he also understood that the right to speak is always on the strongest side.

He could only bow down and cross his hands and say, "Right Minister, subordinates retire." ”

Li Linfu nodded vaguely and said: "The saints have been busy arranging and choreographing in the pear garden recently, so the time for you to enter the palace to meet you should be postponed, and wait for another fifteen days, and you will enter the Xingqing Palace to face the saint on the third day of the lunar month." ”

"Whoa."

Gao Xianzhi slowly retreated, and Li Linfu turned his head to look at the figure in the corridor as he walked towards him, and snorted indifferently.

The partition doors in the side room were opened, and Cao Jiwen, a scholar of Jingzhao Mansion, walked out of it, holding a plate of leftover mutton in his hand, and hurriedly covered it with his sleeve after seeing Li Linfu.

Li Linfu pretended not to know, raised his head and asked, "Did you hear the conversation between me and this Gao Xianzhi just now?" Geven's knees nearly went limp. Then I heard him say, "What do you think of this man?" ”

Ji Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, the right minister had deliberately let himself listen in the inner room, so he had to follow behind his ass and said, "It's just a martial artist." ”

Li Linfu laughed loudly: "Ha, not bad! is just a martial artist, no matter how many feats he has made in his life, no matter how good the battles he has fought, at most he will stop at the envoys of the two towns. These people are outstanding and talented, but what they think in their heads is much shallow and not enough to be a threat. ”

Ji Wen crossed his hand and smiled and praised sincerely: "The right minister thinks too much, look at the middle, and reach thousands of miles away, who else can threaten you?" ”

……

When Gao Xianzhi withdrew from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was still weighing and tangling in his heart. Of course, he didn't dwell on the right or wrong of what he had just done, whether it was right or wrong what he had just done, he quickly put it behind him after a simple reflection, and he didn't have to mention it again.

What he is struggling with now is whether he should tell Li Siye about this, so that he can be mentally prepared. But even if he told him, what could he do, even he, the envoy of the Anxi Festival, would not dare to do anything against the right.

It doesn't seem right to think so, he once promised Li Siye that he would make him the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the envoy of the four towns, but in the end he abandoned him, and then put the offending pot on his head, which made him how to get along with Li Siye in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Li Siye would have such a deep pool. not only has an inextricable relationship with the crown prince Li Heng, but also can get on the line with Yang Guifei. He really didn't tell himself, but there was a hint of mustard for this rising star in his heart. But this he can understand, everyone has their own secrets, and there is nothing to argue with. Besides, Li Siye involved the crown prince and Yang Guifei, Li Linfu could be unscrupulous about this, but he couldn't do it.

Gao Xianzhi decided to tell Li Siye about this, so that he could be mentally prepared and let him know who was having trouble with him. Of course, it must be said in a tactful tone, otherwise both parties will look embarrassed.

He walked out of the gatehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and while thinking about his rhetoric, he walked into the alley in the backyard, and when he came to the door of the backyard, he pushed open the side door and entered. The left-behind officers in the courtyard greeted him, and Gao Xianzhi asked casually, "Is General Li back?" ”

The officer hurriedly replied: "I just came back, and I am in the back hall." ”

"Just came back?" Gao Xianzhi had some doubts in his heart, he was still outside the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, where did he go for a walk in the blink of an eye? This is an extremely smart person, and he can discern some clues from the attitude of the concierge of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, perhaps he has long been aware of the crisis.

He walked through the Moon Cave Gate to the inner courtyard, bypassed the vegetable garden in the center of the courtyard, came to the front of the main hall, and saw Li Siye standing in front of the screen.

Si Ye paced slowly with his hands on his back, as if waiting for something. This made Gao Xianzhi feel very upset, but Li Siye turned around, and the two looked at each other, and both of them showed a slightly embarrassed but relaxed and tolerant smile.

"Zhongcheng seems to have something to say to me."

"Indeed," Gao Xianzhi stretched out his hand to him and invited, "Let's sit down first." ”

Li Siye sat cross-legged on the sheep felt, Gao Xianzhi sat opposite him with a slightly tight smile, coughed his throat and asked him, "Siye, do you know what happened in the court this year?" ”

Si Ye nodded solemnly.

Gao Xianzhi sighed out of thin air and said: "The changes in the court situation this year are especially better than the past, the emperor Fu Weiming, who just took over as the envoy of the Shuofang Festival in Hexi, was slandered and belittled for being involved with the crown prince, and Wei Jian, the eldest brother of the crown princess, was also demoted. In order to protect himself, the prince had to leave the crown princess. Chen Xilie, the left minister newly recommended by Li Linfu, only made a promise, and he sat in the political hall but no one cared about him, and all the officials of the DPRK and the central government went to the right minister's mansion to discuss matters. ”

"I've heard all of that." Li Siye's reply was very short, and he waited for Gao Xianzhi's next words.

"I heard that you came to Anxi ten years ago, and you were introduced to Anxi by His Royal Highness the former King Zhong, the current Crown Prince?"

Li Siye understood, and sure enough, he fell into Li Linfu's sight.
