Chapter 42: Quan Huan Gao Weng

After dinner, Li Linfu's convoy set off again and headed towards Gao Lishi's mansion. Li Qing'an urged him to step forward and whispered outside Li Linfu's carriage: "Does the Prime Minister look for me?"

Li Linfu smiled in the carriage and said, "I want to tell you about this Xiaobolu Battle. Your battle was very exciting. I heard that the emperor was so happy that he had not slept well all night. He praised Gao Xianzhi for living up to his expectations. As well as you generals who have made meritorious contributions, you will receive great rewards, and your contributions are ranked second."

"Thank you for your favor from the Prime Minister."

"Person Li doesn't have to be too humble. This is what you gain from your military achievements and you deserve it."

As the topic changed, Li Linfu asked lightly again: "I heard that Gao Xianzhi and husband Meng Lingcha were incompatible. Have you heard of this?"

"Reporting to the prime minister, his subordinates are low and have little position, and they dare not discuss matters about the top leaders."

"It's okay, just talk to me casually. I want to hear what your lower-level officers think."

"The prime minister has an order, how dare the subordinates refuse to obey? The humble position is just a small captain, and the commander is also valued by the commander, for fear that extreme words will mislead the prime minister."

Li Linfu was silent for a moment, and he smiled slightly and said, "It's great, handle it properly. No wonder Gao Xianzhi asked you to deliver the letter."

There was no sound in the carriage. Li Linfu seemed to be asleep and ignored him again. The convoy continued to walk forward and soon entered the gate of Yishanfang. Gao Lishi's mansion was located in Yishanfang, close to the Daming Palace. If there was something wrong in the palace, Gao Lishi could enter the palace immediately.

Gao Lishi was originally surnamed Feng and was born in poverty. He entered the palace during the Wu Zetian era and was highly appreciated by Wu Zetian. However, he had a unique eye for Li Longji, who was the King of Linzi at that time, and became his confidant.

Although Gao Lishi was an eunuch, he had extraordinary political vision and decisive character. He was good at riding and shooting, and he was convinced by the three armies." He did have the spirit of a general. After Li Longji ascended the throne, he held great power not by blindly flattering and flattering, but by being able to give Li Longji a strong political help and emotional care to him at critical moments. In the Tang Dynasty, he was the second largest power figure after Li Longji. Even Li Linfu had to act according to his expression. Today, Li Linfu visited him for the sake of Lu Jingrong's fate.

The Prime Minister's carriage arrived, and a hundred steps away, he ran into the house to report the news. Although Gao Lishi was in power, he still had to give Li Linfu the face. After hearing the news, he hurriedly welcomed him out of the mansion.

Gao Lishi is about 60 years old and has a medium-sized figure. Although he is over 60 years old, he is still very strong. As soon as Li Linfu and the carriage stopped, he immediately smiled and greeted him and said, "The wind is cold at night, but the prime minister comes to his door in person, which makes me shine!"

Li Linfu also got out of the car and bowed and smiled, "I was worried that Mr. Gao had not returned in the palace all the way, so I didn't expect to come back. It seems that God was blessing me."

"The Prime Minister is so serious. No matter how busy the palace is, I will go back to the mansion. Come! The Prime Minister follows me into the mansion."

Gao Lishi took Li Linfu's arm affectionately and walked up the steps. The rich door on Gao Lishi's mansion opened creakingly. In the world, except for the emperor and the imperial concubine, only Li Linfu could enjoy this kind of courtesy.

A hint of pride flashed in Li Linfu's eyes. He was very satisfied with Gao Lishi's importance to him. Gao Lishi was the emperor's shadow, with his shadow upright but his body was not tilted. From this detail, we can see that the emperor's attitude towards him has not changed significantly.

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Linfu. He knew why Li Linfu came. Lu Jingrong was critically ill and had resigned from the position of Minister of Works. Today, the emperor issued an order to dismiss him from the position of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. There was one more prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. If Li Linfu didn't come to find out the news, it would be strange.

But whether Li Linfu wanted to work part-time or recommend others, Gao Lishi was still not sure about this, so he invited Li Linfu into his study without showing any silence.

The two of them took a seat with the host and the maid served them tea, then stepped back, Gao Lishi picked up the teacup and smiled, "I wonder what the prime minister is visiting today?"

Li Linfu smiled and said, "It's nothing big. I heard that Gao Weng has also formed a polo team to participate in the polo competition early next year. It is said that they are all the best experts. I have been interested in it for a long time, so I came to visit."

Gao Lishi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It turns out that the prime minister is good at this. It's not bad. I have a polo team, but their skills are still far from that! I'm afraid it will disappoint the prime minister."

"Please ask Mr. Gao to let me see!"

"Okay! Prime Minister, please follow me to the West Courtyard."

Gao Lishi stood up and took Li Linfu to the west courtyard. Polo is the national football team of the Tang Dynasty. Not only are there polo teams in the prefectures and counties, but many royal family members have their own private polo teams. Gao Lishi is the second largest figure in the world, with a wealth of billions of dollars. In addition, he loves polo, and of course he also has his own polo team. This is the case every year. Why did Li Linfu hear about this matter today?

Gao Lishi knew very well that watching polo was just an excuse for Li Linfu.

The house of Gallis Mansion covers a large area, and the west courtyard is a small polo court. Before entering the court, I heard loud shouts and loud horse hooves.

"The competition is about to happen. These bastards are quite successful. They won the twelfth place the year before yesterday. The task I gave them this time is to enter the top ten. Are you practicing hard!

At this time, Li Linfu turned around and waved to Li Qing'an following behind, "Captain Li, come here."

Li Qingan was stunned and walked up slowly. Gao Lishi was also a little stunned. What did Li Linfu want to do? Introduce a small lieutenant officer.

Li Linfu laughed and said, "Mr. Gao, this Captain Li comes from Anxi. He plays polo well. This time he will represent our Anxi Protectorate to participate in the competition. I will introduce you to Mr. Gao first."

Li Qing'an immediately saluted and said, "I am not good at hiring Gao!"

In general, Li Linfu is the great patriarch of Anxi. It is normal for Gao Lishi, who loves polo, to introduce an Anxi polo master, but how smart Gao Lishi is, he suddenly heard that Li Linfu had an implicit voice.

He looked at Li Qing'an and smiled and said, "Li Xiaowei's robe has not yet taken off. Have you come directly from Xiao Bolu?"

Li Qing'an heard of Gao Lishi's name since he was a child, and he also watched the Peking Opera "Drunk Concubine". In the play, Gao Lishi is a clown with white nose, stupid and arrogant, which impressed him very deeply. But in fact, the Gao Lishi he saw today was a scheming politician, shrewd and savvy, without any arrogance.

Li Qingan quickly bowed and replied, "Your Madam Gao said it right. Beizhi came from Xiao Bolu."

Li Linfu, next to him, smiled and said, "Maybe Gao doesn't know that this Li Xianwei is Li Qing'an, who ranks second in Xiao Bolu's credit card."

"Oh! It turns out that you are Li Qing'an, who seized Anuyue City and cut off the Tubo crossing bridge, what a warrior."

Gao Lishi patted his shoulder with compliment and said with a smile: "Do you know what official position the emperor has granted you?"

"I don't know the humble position."

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Linfu and smiled and said, "Since the prime minister doesn't say it, I won't say it either."
