After the Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty the Son of Heaven has been in a good mood, firstly, the rebels of Yang Huzi did not go south to the imperial capital as they wished, and secondly, the concubine Niangniang recently learned a new dance, and His Majesty the Emperor can compose a new tune.

The big and small things of the Tang Dynasty fell on the shoulders of Wei Guogong, perhaps, now he should be called Prime Minister Wei.

On the same day that Wei Guogong succeeded to the post of prime minister, the news of Li Linfu's death spread throughout the imperial capital.

This old prime minister, who has been beautiful for half his life, when he was dying, except for a few loyal stewards in the house, there was not even a send-off, and his children fled from the imperial capital early, for fear of being implicated, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the house were taken away.

Those important ministers of Li Linfu's faction have also been deposed at this time. However, he broke away from Li Linfu's faction, and he couldn't get used to some people from the Wei Guogong faction, so he set up his own faction headed by Shangshu Ling Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Gao Qiu, and Guanglu Doctor Yuan Congzheng, but was secretly supported by His Majesty the Son of Heaven.

This also makes Wei Guogong unable to fully stretch his fists and feet as he wishes, and there are still some constraints after all.

On the second day of the death of the old prime minister Li Linfu, the Duke of Weiguo met His Majesty the Son of Heaven, discussed for a long time in the Taiji Palace, and put the crime of treason on Li Linfu's head.

For Li Linfu's sons and daughters who had already fled from the Prime Minister's Mansion, His Majesty the Son of Heaven only ordered to be found and killed on the spot, and did not investigate their responsibilities deeply, after all, the Tang Dynasty can have such a prosperous scene, and the Son of Heaven is still very grateful to Li Linfu for his achievements.

After leaving the imperial city, Wei Guogong took the three hundred gods to the army and completely sealed the prime minister's mansion. In the evening, Li Linfu's body was hung outside the imperial city as an example.

In the entire imperial capital city, no one dared to oppose it, not even Yuan Congzheng, Li Linfu's most optimistic heir, did not stand up and say a word.

Once a person loses power, he can see many things, but if he loses his life, he will not see anything.

I don't know if Li Linfu, who was hanging outside the imperial city at this time, could see it, no one knew, but occasionally quietly approached the flat-headed people who had looked at it a few times, and they were all whispering to each other, and Li Linfu's eyes were open.

Dead and blind, just to continue to look at those people.

Without the orders of His Majesty the Son of Heaven and Wei Guogong, Li Linfu's body could only continue to be exposed outside the imperial city.

It may indeed be that Li Linfu did a lot of evil in his early years, and now he will end up like this. Wei Guogong would pass under the imperial city every morning, lift the carriage curtain, and look at Li Linfu's body with a smile.

His political opponent fell, and in the future, he will be able to speak his word in the Tang Dynasty officialdom.

Han Changli decided to leave the house today, he has not been to the Hanlin Academy for a long time, since this year's New Year's Day, until now, he seems to have become a big idler, there is no endless review of twists and turns, there are no countless annoying things.

He put on the white robe he wore when he had just walked into the Imperial Capital City, without any other decorations, he was just a scholar today, not the scholar of the Hanlin Academy who had lost power.

He walked out of the mansion and walked towards Chang'an Fang, Han Changli soon came to the door of Meng Dongye's small courtyard, he lingered for a long time before he made up his mind and gently slammed the door.

There was only a young woman's voice in the courtyard, it was the woman who had been redeemed by Li Sanpang from the Wenjiu Club and had now become Meng Dongye's wife.

"Lord Han. The woman recognized Han Changli and was a little surprised, Han Changli rarely came to Meng Dongye's house alone.

"Well, is Meng Dongye there?" Han Changli asked, but his eyes looked into the depths of the courtyard and did not see Meng Dongye's figure.

"My husband is not at home. The woman shook her head and replied.

originally wanted to invite Han Changli into the room to sit, but she felt that it was inappropriate, she was now Meng Dongye's inner room, not the woman who drank flower wine with people at the wine party.

"Well, then don't bother too much. Han Changli hugged his fists, was already about to leave, and turned to the woman and said, "If he comes back, tell him that my mansion asks him to help take care of it for a few days." ”

After speaking, Han Changli turned around and left, he didn't say for long, thinking about it, when Meng Dongye heard the news, he should understand what he meant.

The woman looked at the back of Han Changli leaving, and was a little puzzled, today's Han Changli seems to be a little different.

After that, Han Changli went to an alley outside Kaihuafang, and the last time he besieged Yang Huzi, the old Taoist priest and two famous characters of Lijingmen all came out of this alley.

Even, the mansion of the old man Qian Zangzhen was also in the depths of this alley, Han Changli walked around the alley, and he didn't enter any yard, he laughed at himself and walked out of the alley.

He didn't dare to see Li Sanpang, because Li Sanpang was too smart, if he saw himself at this time, he would definitely guess his intentions, so he had to give up on this decision that he had finally made.

Leaving Kaihuafang, Han Changli went to Pingkangfang again, he didn't walk into the wine party, just outside the door, he looked at the largest wing on the second floor, she didn't stand in front of the window.

"It's fine. Han Changli muttered to himself, a smile on his face.

He turned around again, and walked into the distance under the strange gaze of several beautiful women at the banquet.

With his hands behind his back, Han Changli felt that he should have seen all his friends in the imperial capital, the ranger Meng Dongye, the mysterious "third son" Li Sanfat, and the well-known beauty Yan Lingbin in the imperial capital.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

For some reason, a face suddenly appeared in his heart, he patted his head lightly, shook his head, how could he forget him.

He found a carriage and told the coachman that he was going to a liquor store in the West Market.

Even if Han Changli knew that Guo Xiaojiu might not be in the imperial capital at this time, he still chose to go, at this time, it was obvious that it would be better for him not to be there than to be there.

After getting out of the carriage, Han Changli was a little surprised, the wine shop was still doing business, and the laughter coming from the wine shop made him a little confused. Han Changli approached the door of the wine shop, and he saw Qian Zangzhen, who was holding an erhu and squinting his eyes, telling a story, and also saw Qian Zangzhen's side, the maid with a sunny smile on her face.

"It turns out that this old man has been here all along. Han Changli, who got the answer, turned around and prepared to leave again.

He walked out of the alley, in the direction of the Imperial City.

Han Changli didn't notice that there were two people, a man and a woman, who had been following him.

Seeing that Han Changli was almost in the entire imperial capital city, wandering around for most of the circle, the wine was a little puzzled, he looked at the back of Han Changli leaving: "Where will he go next?"

"This scholar doesn't even look as good as you, and the old lady doesn't care where he goes. The two lines of the poem did not stop, and decided to continue to follow.

"Do you want to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, I've been following him for several days, and today he is alone, can he choose to do it?"

"I'm going to go to you, the old lady will continue to relax for a while. The two lines of the poem did not even turn back, and he carried the xylophone on his back and walked forward.

Jiu Sanliang shook his head slightly, showing his dissatisfaction with this senior sister.

Above the attic of the wine shop, a young man with a sword walked down, the young man went behind the counter, made some wine by himself, and walked out of the wine shop, he looked into the distance and smiled: "Han Changli, no matter what trouble you have today, I have to help you solve it, just because, you still remember me Guo Xiaojiu." ”

Guo Xiaojiu staggered out of the alley, tapping the scabbard of his knife and humming a little song in his mouth every time he walked.

He was on the wooden ladder of the wine shop, originally listening to Qian Zangzhen's storytelling, which was really boring, and just wanted to go downstairs to get some wine to drink, he saw Han Changli outside the door of the wine shop, turned around and was about to leave.

I wanted to chase him out and call him to talk to him, but I saw two familiar faces.

Guo Xiaojiu didn't know why the two killers, Jiu Sanliang and Shi Liangxing, appeared in the imperial capital city, but their target was Han Changli, a good brother who accompanied him from Henan Road to outside Henan Mansion, so he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

It wasn't until he walked out for a long time that Guo Xiaojiu hurriedly found a hidden corner and hid his figure, so there was no sound of tapping the scabbard or humming a little song in his mouth.

Han Changli stood under the imperial city, he looked up and looked at the corpse hanging outside the imperial city.

The two lines of poetry that followed him far away, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he didn't expect that in this imperial capital city, there was such an interesting scholar, so his appearance was not so important.

She decided to take back her previous words, and she became interested in this scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Guo Xiaojiu also understood Han Changli's intentions, and shook his head with a chuckle: "Han Changli, you haven't changed at all, fortunately, you have a good buddy named Guo Xiaojiu." ”
