The eunuch came to Li Longji, bowed down and crossed-handed and reported: "San Lang, the right side asks to see you." ”

The emperor frowned, waved his sleeves behind him, and put his hands behind his back: "Let him wait for me in the West Side Palace." ”

After Li Longji sent the eunuch away, he walked behind several women wearing long-sleeved shirts and gauze skirts, and gave them concave shapes one by one.

"In this way, no, you can't do this, you have to raise this neck a little higher, yes, yes, you have to take a smaller step."

His lady Yang Yuhuan stood at the beginning of the queue to lead the dance, and her attainments in dancing were far better than some Liyuan children. Despite this, the emperor liked to walk up to her and pretend to adjust her posture, but he felt the youthful charm that emanated from her, a woman like a docile kitten, who did not want to take his eyes off her for a moment. Her warmth like water and the fragrance of peonies watered his old tree that was about to wither, and gave him the enthusiasm and vitality of spring.

"Yuhuan, you lead them to try the dance again, and I'll be back in a while."

Yang Yuhuan bowed his waist and saluted: "Oh"

After saying that, the emperor frowned and walked to the right side hall, and the irritability couldn't help but appear on his face, this face that was not angry and arrogant can show the emperor's current depravity and decay. He had begun to hate all the external things to disturb, and he knew in his heart that this state was wrong and detrimental to the empire, but the super self-discipline of men gradually disappeared in the old emperor. Therefore, unless it is a military event such as an expedition, the emperor wants to personally inquire about it, and other things are ignored.

The emperor was tired of his job, and there was no way to do it, so even if there was more reluctance, he had to ask about it. A saint can not love work, but he can't help but love the country, and he still has this consciousness at least now.

Two eunuchs led the way with their hands in hand, and then stood on either side of the temple gate. Li Linfu, who was kneeling in the hall, heard the emperor's footsteps, and hurriedly stood up and bowed with his hands crossed: "Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me."

He walked straight up the imperial steps in the hall, sat on the Hu bed, pressed the armrests with his hands and asked, "Why don't you dare to make a decision when you come here today?" ”

The right minister was a little confused, thinking to himself, didn't you send a eunuch to my house to pass on the oracle, and let me come to the pear garden to find you with the Xugong recital presented by Gao Xianzhi?

"This is the narrative performance presented by Gao Xianzhi from the Anxi Festival, and the sage is invited to take a look."

Li Linfu hurriedly took out a piece of music from his sleeve and presented it to the front of the emperor. Li Longji stretched out his hand to take it, and then he remembered what Gao Lishi recommended, and directly pointed to the second line of the arrangement on the song and said: "This Li Siye, who is only second only to Gao Xianzhi in the first battle of the expedition to Xiaobolu, can he be promoted to the envoy of the Beiting Festival and concurrently serve as the deputy capital protector of Anxi?" ”

As soon as he heard Li Longji's tone, he knew that someone had used the relationship, and he went directly to the sky to hear that the emperor had come here, and the depression in his heart suddenly surged up.

"Of course you can, it's just that Wang An, the original Beiting Festival, should be appointed."

Li Longji thought for a moment, knocked on his forehead and said, "Then transfer Wang Anjian back to Chang'an and appoint him as the general of Zuo Wuwei." ”

"Whoa."

Li Linfu pursed his lips at the same time, and was silent for three seconds in his heart for Wang Anjian. Zuo Wuwei, one of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, now only has an organization and no soldiers and horses, and being transferred back to Chang'an is an idle post that eats and waits for death.

Wang An saw that he was a taunt, and he was an idle man who had arranged him, but he didn't expect that he would be cut off. It's good that you Li Siye, you can't stop you like this, and let you pick up the benefits in vain.

Li Linfu was a little unwilling in his heart, and said with his hands crossed: "The minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"You just have to talk about it, you don't have to go around in circles with me."

He lowered his voice and said: "In the twenty-fifth year of the old calendar, Li Siye was introduced to the command of the Anxi Capital Protector Yao by the crown prince who was still the king of Zhongwang at that time, and the ministers were suspicious of his position and heart. ”

The sage is now quite sensitive to the prince, as long as the prince's forces are divided, it is politically correct, thinking that he can take advantage of the end of this storm to implicate Li Siye.

After all, no one can be omniscient and omnipotent, and Li Linfu naturally couldn't imagine that it was the crown prince Li Heng who introduced Li Siye to Anxi on the surface in the twenty-fifth year of the old calendar, but in fact, the person who really manipulated this matter was the emperor sitting in front of him. Therefore, Li Longji still does not think about the identity of Li Siye.

"I know about this matter, so there is no problem with this person, you go back and make arrangements, and let Gao Xianzhi take his people to the Calyx Tower in the south to see me."

Li Linfu crossed his hands and responded: "Well, the minister will go back and do it." ”

"Then stand down."

Li Linfu slowly withdrew from the hall, and Li Longji walked towards the hall where the disciples were dancing while thinking carefully.

The right minister was a little depressed in his heart, and he didn't know if it was because the well-arranged appointment plan was suddenly broken, and a crack was made in his monolithic officialdom, or if he was simply angry at Li Siye's behavior, none of this mattered.

He clutched the letter tightly and came to the stable at the gate of the palace, where the housekeeper had already led the carriage out, bowed down and asked in a low voice, "Ah Lang, where are you going?" ”

Li Linfu took a long breath: "Where else can I go back, of course, it is the house." ”

He sat cross-legged in the carriage, his body swaying from side to side with the bumps in the carriage, feeling weak. This may be some kind of hint that the heavens have brought him. He lifted the curtain and instructed the steward who was running behind the car: "Go and call Ji Wen, Luo Xizao, Wang Jie, and Yang Shenjin to my house." ”

……

Li Linfu sat cross-legged on the wooden couch in the inner hall of the mansion, wearing a light hemp half-arm, which was relaxed, breathable and cool. Although the few people sitting below were wearing round-necked robes, which were not too thick, their faces gradually became rosy again due to the heat in the room, and their skin was slightly oily.

"I called you here today because I thought that one more person would have one more idea. The sage asked to change the narrative sent by Gao Xianzhi, and he actually wanted to let a person from Li Siye replace Wang An to see this envoy of the Beiting Festival, which really makes me disagree. I want to ask you, is there any way? ”

The four of them looked at each other in the lower aspect, and there was really no one to have a strategy for a while, Yang Shenjin glanced up at Li Linfu, and quickly lowered his head.

Yang Shenjin is not like the other three people who took the initiative to join the core layer of the right minister, he was used to join the gang, and he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, and he was not very willing to give advice for Li Linfu.

"What? Can't even think of it? ”

Ji Wen shrugged his shoulders and crossed his hands forward and said: "Right Minister, my subordinates think that even if the saint wants to make an edict, he must go through the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and without the seal of the Zhongshu Province, the edict cannot be issued." Is it possible for the right minister to dismiss the decree to the saint and let the saint reconsider it? ”

"You're going to let me dismiss the will of the saint?" Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Wen coldly.

Ji Wen's face turned red for a moment, and he stammered: "Subordinate, subordinate is also poor for a while, so he thinks nonsense." ”

Li Linfu snorted lightly and said to himself: "I think I have been in charge of the phase for ten years, and I have issued thousands of holy decrees from the Zhongshu Province, and I have never rejected one, why do you say this?" ”

The four of them lowered their heads, and no one could answer his question.

"I am the steward of the saint and the courtier of the saint, so I naturally have to do my best to serve him, whether I am a prime minister or a steward, I should not go against his will, let alone take the opportunity to dismiss his ideas. Otherwise, what qualifications are there to sit in this seat? ”
