At Li Linfu's residence in Pingkangfang, the red maple leaves in the courtyard fluttered and fell to the ground. There was a thick layer on the ground, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time, giving it a chilling and cold atmosphere.
Li Linfu is sitting on the bed under the book. The tilt of the backrest makes him half-lying with his eyes closed and his legs covered with a wool felt blanket. His eyelids are slightly swollen, and the skin on his face is wrinkled. People who know him will know that
I found that in the past six months, he had suddenly become very old and in poor spirits.
The steward stood at the door of the moon cave, crossed his hands from a distance and said: "Alang, Mr. Luo is here. He is standing outside waiting to see you."
Luo Langzhong was Luo Xishu, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, who was the most famous cruel official during the Kaiyuan period of Tianbao. Together with Ji Wen, he was known as Luo Xijiwang. However, during this period, he had no chance to harm others. Instead, the right prime minister and his party frequently caused troubles. First,
Ji Wen openly turned to Yang Guozhong, and then the censor Zhongcheng Wang Zhi was involved in a major rebellion and was sentenced to death by the emperor. Now the core team of the dignified right minister is only Luo Xishi.
Luo Langzhong stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground and came to Li Linfu. He knelt on the ground with one knee and crossed his hands and said: "For this humble post, please see your right minister."
Li Linfu raised his heavy eyelids, glanced at him and closed his eyes again: "You haven't been allowed to come recently, why are you running into my house?"
Luo Xishi answered the question: "Right Prime Minister, the city of Chang'an is much more lively than usual today. Li Siye, the governor of Anbeiting, has returned to Beijing to express his merits."
"I know this. You don't need to come here to see me."
Luo Langzhong stood up, bowed his body and whispered: "But the Right Chancellor, Yang Guozhong, often claims outside that Xianyu Zhongtong and Li Siye are his right-hand men..."
Li Linfu's mouth naturally snorted sarcastically, and Luo Xishi paused in his sentence. When he raised his head and looked carefully, he saw that there was nothing unusual about the right minister, and then he boldly said: "Right minister, this is openly forming cliques for personal gain and colluding with the side."
General, think about it, one is the dignified Jiedushi of Jiannan, the other is the Jiedushi of Anbeiting, one is in the south, and the other is in the northwest. These two are obviously the generals sent out by His Majesty personally. How come they are so different?
Instead, he became Yang Guozhong's right-hand man? Luo Xishi was not very talented and learned, but he was willing to follow the right Prime Minister to impeach Yang Guozhong."
Li Linfu shook his head gently and said: "The entry point is very good, and the idea is also very sophisticated, but it is of no use to Yang Zhao. Especially at this juncture, the saint has experienced too many unpleasant things, so there is no need to
Add more trouble to him."
Luo Xishi nodded, crossed his hands and raised them above his head, preparing to turn to the right to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Linfu suddenly said: "But the memorial still has to be delivered."
Luo Langzhong's face lit up with joy: "Who are you going to impeach?"
"No, you and I each wrote an epistle to congratulate Li Siye, the imperial censor, on his expedition to capture the Tocharian river. Such a great victory that strengthened our country's power is comparable to Li Jing and Li Ji's northern attack on the Turks. Li Siye should give me a letter.
Like Lingyan Pavilion."
"This," what Luo Xishi wanted to say was that this was too heavy a compliment. Since Taizong built the Lingyan Pavilion to paint portraits of twenty-four heroes, through the dynasties of Gaozong, Empress Wu, Zhongzong, and Ruizong, only Zhongzong
During the reign of Emperor Zong, Shangguan Yi was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Chu, and was once painted in Lingyan Pavilion. However, this was the reason why Li Xian favored Shangguan Wan'er, which somewhat meant that he was recommending his father-in-law.
However, he felt that these words were not appropriate, so he asked doubtfully: "Right Minister, this Li Siye has a particularly close relationship with the Yang family and Yang Guozhong. If we are so distant, won't we further encourage the momentum of Yang Guozhong's party?"
"
Li Linfu chuckled, holding on to the armrest of the bed and said: "You can't just look at the superficial things without looking at the underlying reasons. It is impossible for Li Siye and Yang Guozhong to become allies. They are not the same people at all, even if they seem to be
If they collude with each other, they will definitely turn against each other in the future."
"I would rather hold Li Siye up high so that Yang Zhao can give Hui Qing his intestines in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to see this scene, but you can wait and see. Let's see how these three or four groups of people will scheming in the future.
You can come to my grave and tell me personally who is the real winner."
Luo Xishi heard what he said was so desolate and sad, and couldn't bear to listen any more. He quickly changed his mind and asked: "Right Minister, it is not certain whether what you said is correct. When will they really turn against each other?"
A bleak smile appeared on the right minister's face, he leaned back and looked up at the sky, and slowly uttered the truth in his mouth: "After I die."
…
Li Siye stood in the calyx building hall, wearing a purple robe and stepping forward energetically.
The saint was sitting on the bed, looking very excited, as if he had been maintaining a majestic appearance, but the whirlpool in his eyes could not hide his true thoughts. Maybe it was because the person was getting older, and his overall mental state
I also started to return to my original nature.
He crossed his hands in front of his chest, lifted up the hem of his robe, knelt on the ground and bowed: "I have been ordered to return to the capital to pay tribute to your Majesty, Li Siye."
The old emperor stood up with his hands on the handrails, walked down the steps tremblingly, came to Li Siye, lifted him up with his hands, looked at the heroic face in front of him, and said with emotion: "Seeing this scene today, I remembered
On June 30, the twenty-fourth year of the lunar calendar, I met you at Chengyun Pavilion, the outer residence of Prince Ning in Xinghuafang. At that time, I thought you were just a cook who knew how to make cakes, but I didn’t expect you to be a martial artist.
After many years, I have grown old, and you are in your prime. I, Kaiyuan Tianbao, once had many powerful generals, and I have been looking forward to the emergence of a famous general who is as sharp as a sword and can cut off all enemies. At first, I thought it was
Wang Zhongsi, I later thought it was An Lushan, but I didn’t expect it was you."
Is this considered a memory kill? He knew that Li Longji was a memory monster, and he could use this trick to no avail. In the third year of Tianbao's three years in Yuan Ye, Xiao Gui led Xiao Gui to attack Hua Calyx Tower. He once wanted to ask Li Longji for an explanation.
But he didn't expect that the emperor would read out the names of all the fallen soldiers of the Eighth Regiment in front of him, and it would hit the heart of the iron man and make him kneel down. This shows that the emperor has a well-prepared plan for controlling people's hearts.
, the role of daily life notes cannot be underestimated in some cases.
After understanding all this, you will be immune to this trick, but it seems wrong to be too immune. It is as if he has been trying hard to flirt with you for a long time, but you didn't give any reaction. This not only embarrassed the emperor
, which is tantamount to not giving face to the emperor.
This means that I, who should be cooperating with your performance, turn a blind eye and don't force a person from the future to improvise.
Li Siye opened his eyes wide in surprise, and his eyes became moist within three seconds. Then he quickly leaned over and knelt down on one knee, moved to tears: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty remembered it so clearly. I would have forgotten which month and day it was. If it hadn't been for Your Majesty in the past.
Thanks to the kindness of his acquaintance, Siye would never have had the opportunity to join Anxi, nor would he have made such a meritorious deed."
Li Longji smiled again and raised his hand to help him up. Feeling very comfortable in his heart, he stretched out his hand and held Li Siye's hand and walked up the stairs. Li Siye took a closer look and saw that there was a table on the right side of the emperor's bed.
and futon.
It is a great honor to be able to sit close to the emperor at banquets. It seems that An Lushan often enjoys this kind of treatment. Today, he is a kind of coming from behind. However, he and others are just two different personalities, which are used for comparison.
That's too much.
The maids brought wine and grapes to the table. Yang Zhao and a group of high-ranking officials were sitting below. Li Siye held the wine glass and looked down intently. Look at these people, Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie, Ji Wen, and Wei Jian.
Su, is this team the post-Li Linfu era of the Tianbao period?
