Xuanzong suddenly woke up and said, "It's very much, I've made a decision!"

The next day, Li Heng, the king of Lizhong, was appointed crown prince.

Li Linfu heard that he was angry and exploded his chest and lungs, and he plotted for a long time, killing the three princes, thinking that with the power of Concubine Wu Hui, he could canonize Li Mao, the king of longevity, as the crown prince, but he didn't expect that Li Heng, the loyal king, would sit back and enjoy his success, and Hao would get the position of the prince without much effort, and his bamboo basket was empty. Therefore, he hated the prince Li Heng deeply, so he inquired in many ways and learned that the prince had a deep friendship with Chao Jiuli, and even hated Chao Jiuli very much.

Li Linfu hinted to the emperor several times that the prince and the courtier Chao Jiuli had a lot of personal relations, and finally Chao Jiuli did things carefully and left no traces, and the emperor repeatedly sent people to visit because there was no evidence, but it was inevitable that there was a crack in the saint's trust in Chao Jiuli.

In the late Kaiyuan period, Xuanzong entered old age from the prime of life, because Li Linfu greeted Tang Xuanzong in everything, and succumbed to flattery in front of Xuanzong, Xuanzong began to favor Li Linfu more and more, alienated from the virtuous ministers, Li Linfu relied on the trust of the saint, and was also a royal family relative, the expansion of power was extremely rapid, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had been attached to him, Li Dang influenced the imperial court, covered the sky with one hand, attracted money and bribes, and the government became increasingly corrupt.

Some of the loyal and righteous people of the imperial court either went to work and returned to their hometowns, and some of the remaining ministers disdained to form a party, and some of them were wise to protect themselves, Chao Jiuli and Zhang Jiuling and other knowledgeable ministers wanted to make friends with like-minded people in order to form a force to fight against the Li Party, but they were unable to convince these old stubborn and pretentious ministers, due to lack of strength, they had to watch the government decay day by day, shaking their heads and sighing.

However, Li Linfu knew that there was no one in the DPRK and China to compete with, so he provoked a "discussion of going out and entering the prime minister", wanting to take this opportunity to eliminate the forces of Zhang Jiuling and Chao Jiuli in one fell swoop, and Chao Jiuli and Li Linfu finally broke up.

At that time, although the Tang Dynasty was strong, there were still four external troubles, including the Hui, Turkic and Khitan in the north, the Bohai Kingdom, Silla and the Wa Kingdom in the northeast, the Western Turks and the small states of Central Asia and the Tubo Kingdom in the west, and the Nanzhao Kingdom in the southwest.

Therefore, in the early days of the imperial court, six governors were set up (Anxi, Andong, Anbei, Annan, Shan Yu and Beiting Governors), and then ten Jiedu envoys were set up to Pinglu, Fanyang, Hedong, Shuofang, Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Beiting, Jiannan, and Lingnan.

The governors of the palace and the envoys of the festival have been transferred back to the court to serve as the imperial history, Shangshu, Shizhong and Shilang, etc., and there are also those who have been awarded the title of duke, such figures, out of the court as generals, into the court is the phase, shrewd and decisive and knowledgeable and capable of martial arts.

Although Li Linfu had already achieved his wings at this time, he still felt a great threat to such border generals and courtiers, so he secretly played it in Xuanzong, saying: "The scribe is a general, cowardly as a stone, and there are people in the court, who are cited as Austrian aid, and if you win, it will be your own merit, and if you lose, it is not your own fault, and it is not your own fault to steal this, so it is better to use the Han people, the Tibetan people, the Tibetan people are good at fighting and brave, and the Han people have no party aid."

Xuanzong was very appreciative and approved without a long examination.

Li Linfu waited until Xuanzong's intention was obtained, and then announced to the court and made the appointment, Zhang Jiuling and Chao Jiuli could not get the gist of several speeches, either suppressed by Li Linfu or hidden, Li Linfu even said to Xuanzong: "Chao Yangen, what is the matter with several advances? The discussion of going out and going into the prime minister is a matter of agreement, so why should it be discussed again? Could it be that there are foreign generals implicated or Yang En originally had this plan, and he was planning to go out of the town in the future, how could this Chao Yang En defy the holy judgment, and what kind of plan did he have?"

As a result, Xuanzong gradually became suspicious of Chao Jiuli! In addition, Chao Jiuli strongly opposed the use of eunuchs and chamberlains as supervisors to check and balance the leading generals, and Xuanzong was even more displeased, and no longer summoned Jiuli alone, and gradually distanced himself from Jiuli.

But because Zhang Jiuling was the prime minister, although he was not as powerful as Li Linfu, Li Linfu did not defeat them for a while.

Li Linfu couldn't make a plan and sent another plan, first transferred Zhang Jiuling's left and right hand Chao Jiuli out of the capital, and then slowly cleaned up Zhang Jiuling, so after conspiring with Yang Enci, the secretary of the party and the military department, he asked the emperor to order Chao Jiuli, the squire of the military department, to tour the towns to check whether the military equipment of each town was solid, so as to temporarily transfer Chao Jiuli out of the capital.

Chao Jiuli knew that it was Li Linfu who sent him out to patrol the troops, but it was difficult to disobey the order, and the soldiers in each town had not been inspected for a long time, so after handling the handover matters, the micro-service visited to understand the actual situation of the military preparations in various places, and when it came to the state and county and the governor's mansion to make the envoys, he showed the seal of the military department, so as not to leak the rumors, let the local officials whitewash the surface, and respond to the story.

Unexpectedly, Li Linfu got the news in advance, and hurriedly sent a messenger to hurry up, and before Chao Jiuli arrived in Hebei Province, he notified Li Tong, the assassin of Weizhou, and asked Li Tong to take care of Chao Jiuli halfway to cut off the big trouble in his heart.

Li Tong is Li Linfu's nephew, this assassination history is also through Li Linfu, of course, he didn't dare to slack off, Li Tong sent his henchman Qiao to pretend to be a good man in the green forest, in Anyang, Xiangzhou, Hebei Province, intercepted Chao Jiuli, it turned out that Li Tong was also a person who knew things, and doing such things in his own Weizhou would affect himself, so he chose to be in a neighboring state.

No matter how shrewd Chao Jiuli was, he didn't expect someone to murder the court officials, fortunately, he had the experience of the early years of the rivers and lakes, fortunately he didn't die, he attacked fifteen people, he killed ten people, ran two people, and three were seriously injured and did not die, but Jiuli was covered with multiple knife wounds, and two people were killed with him, and one person was seriously injured.

Chao Jiuli thought it was a robbery by a strongman blocking the road, but he didn't expect to find the official token on the attacking assassin, so he tortured the three seriously injured assassins, and it turned out to be the Weizhou assassin Li Tong who wanted to assassinate himself, Chao Jiuli was angry and decided to visit the Weizhou assassin Li Tong privately.

Arranged the injured companions, took care of the three assassins, prepared night clothes, carried a long sword, carried many hidden weapons, picked up a long hammer with a black rod and a black hammer head, and visited the Weizhou Mansion at night.

At that time, Li Tong, the assassin of Weizhou, was at a banquet, after the banquet, Li Tong was about to go back to the room to rest, Chao Jiuli jumped out of the shadows, and was about to ask, but he didn't expect to disturb the concubines, causing the guards to besiege, in a panic, Chao Jiuli stabbed Li Tong to death, and fought out of the encirclement.

Li Jing was from a humble background, his parents were five years old, the government forcibly expropriated his land, was beaten to death by the officials, when the officials came to the house with his father to rob the house, arguing, his mother was worried about the danger, tearfully admonished and threw him into the backyard dry well, he squatted in the well, endured endless darkness and thirst, for four days, when he was rescued by the neighbors, almost dehydrated and fainted, he saw that the corpses of his parents had been wrapped in the grass, the dried blood stains on the grass had turned black, and the flies were buzzing with swarms, the little Li Jing, his heart was extremely sad, But I couldn't cry tears...
