Chapter fifty-one, the struggle for power (fifteen)(1/2)

When the emperor read Li Zi's letter, he indeed shed a few tears.

However, Linghu Guan's weight in the emperor's heart was too heavy, so the emperor dismissed Linghu Guan from his post.



However, the emperor is doing well this time.

In the past, when anyone wrote a letter to the emperor, the emperor would let Linghu Xuan read it after reading it, but this time the emperor did not.



A few days later, the Fourth Prince Li Zi died.

The fourth prince, Li Zi, was only twenty-four years old.



The Fourth Prince Li Zi was the fourth son of the late Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

He has had a desire to serve his country since he was a child.

Because he had a desire to serve the country, he loved to study when he was young and his literary talent was very high.

He was the most talented and learned among all the sons of the late emperor Tang Xuanzong.

However, he was not the eldest son of the late emperor, and he could not ascend to the throne after the late emperor's death.

After the death of the late emperor, his eldest brother Li Miao came to the throne.

Although he could not ascend the throne as emperor, he still worked hard for the country.

He worked tirelessly for the country to go to Shenwuchuan to find Zhu Xie.

Regardless of personal danger for the country, he went to Zhuge Shuang's camp to persuade Zhuge Shuang to surrender.

Now, because he wanted to touch Linghu Xi and Linghu Shang's "cake", he was harmed by Linghu Xi and Linghu Shang.



The death of Fourth Prince Li Zi made many people shed tears.

Many people know that the Fourth Prince Li Zi is a rare talent.



When the emperor heard that Li Zi had died, he was very sad.

The fourth prince, Li Zi, is the emperor's biological brother. Of course, he is sad when his biological brother dies.



After Li Zi died, the emperor read the letter Li Zi wrote to him that day.

The more the emperor read Li Zi's letter, the more he couldn't sleep.

The emperor thought to himself: My fourth brother, Li Zi, said that Linghu Shang could not use Linghu's gauze. He said that Linghu's gauze could harm my brothers today and he could harm me tomorrow. Is this true?

When Li Zi was alive, the emperor didn't take Li Zi's letter seriously. The emperor didn't expect that Li Zi would really die. The emperor knew that Li Zi and Linghu were still at odds. After he read Li Zi's letter, he

He didn't quite believe that Linghu Shang would really harm Li Zi. Linghu Shang was very important in his eyes and he had not exempted Linghu from his duties. Now that Li Zizhen was dead, he began to have random thoughts.

The emperor thought to himself: If Linghu is dead, will Linghu Shang really harm me?

The more the emperor wants Linghu, the more useless Linghu is.

The emperor finally made the decision to remove Linghu Fu from the post of prime minister.



The emperor really dismissed Linghu Gui from his position as prime minister.

The emperor listened to Li Zi's words and made Bai Minzhong the prime minister.



The emperor dismissed Linghu Gui from his post again, but Linghu Gui and Linghu Shang were very worried.

Linghu Shang was dismissed from his post by the Emperor long ago, and now Linghu Gui was dismissed from his post by the Emperor.

Linghu Xiu, Linghu Shang is very anxious.

Linghu Guan and Linghu Shangxin said: The emperor has dismissed us from our official positions, how will we live in the future?

They have too many enemies. Once they lose their power, it will be difficult for them to survive.



Sure enough, after Linghu Sui and Linghu Shang were dismissed, many enemies came to settle accounts with them.

Soon, Linghu died and Linghushang was killed by his enemies.



Linghu Xiu and Linghu Shang also died.

Linghu has a good fortune, Linghu still makes a fortune by flattering his horse.

At the beginning, Linghu Yuan and Linghu Shang's officials were not big.

Because they are good at flattering others, they get promoted step by step.

In the end they were appreciated by the emperor.

After they gained the emperor's appreciation, they flattered him again.

Because of their high skills in flattering, they were even more appreciated by the emperor, who made Linghu Gui the Prime Minister and Linghu Shang the Minister of Punishment.

They are very good at pleasing the emperor. They often say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you just want to have fun, and all ministers will serve the emperor."

They let the emperor have fun, and the emperor was happy.

However, they forget that it is better to leave themselves a retreat in everything.

They only care about flattering the emperor, they only care about pleasing the emperor, they don't care about the feelings of the people around them.

Because they didn't care about the feelings of those around them, they offended many people.

When they flatter others, their superiors ask them to collect taxes. They do not care about the life and death of others, and for this they offend many people;

When they were high-ranking officials, they would kill anyone who had a complaint against the court, and they would offend many people.

When they are high-ranking officials, they often show off their power in front of people: I am the Prime Minister, I am the Minister of Punishment, what can you do to me?

Just because they offend many people, they dare not lose their power;

Just because they dare not lose power, they cannot coexist with Li Zi, they have to fight with Li Zi.

Kill a thousand enemies and injure yourself eight hundred.

Although they killed Li Zi, Li Zi's last letter to the emperor made them lose their official positions.

After they lost their official positions, their lives were very difficult. Their enemies came to them every day.

When they were in high official positions, no one dared to mess with them. After they lost their official positions, their enemies came one after another, and now someone dared to do something to them.



Now let’s talk about the Emperor.

The emperor made Bai Minzhong the prime minister.

Bai Minzhong is a good person.

He is loyal to the emperor.

After he became prime minister, he worked conscientiously for the country.

However, he is too old and his health is failing.

He is over sixty years old, how much more energy can he still exert?



Soon, Bai Minzhong fell ill.

After Bai Minzhong fell ill, he still worked hard for the country.

His health was even worse.

His illness is getting worse.

Less than a year later, Bai Minzhong died.



After Bai Minzhong died, the emperor asked someone else to serve as prime minister.

Others were not quite as the emperor wanted.

In the days that followed, the emperor was heartbroken.

The people below can't, and there are some things that the emperor can only do personally.

Sometimes the emperor stayed up day and night.
