Chapter 121 Revealing Secrets

Li Linfu paced back and forth in his tent with his hands behind his hands. What happened today made him quite confused.

One of his grandsons was actually directly conferred an official title by the emperor. This was something he had never encountered before. Not to mention that the emperor's approach was a bit illegal. The emperor could confer titles, but it was not the emperor's business to confer an eighth-grade official.

This small violation can be omitted, and it is not important. What is important is that the emperor's behavior was incomprehensible to Li Linfu.

He knew the emperor Li Longji too well. Li Longji would never confer officials or titles on the spot. Even if he made great achievements, he would definitely get to know the other person thoroughly before issuing an order to confer officials or titles.

The emperor could have issued a decree in two days to add the title, but today, the emperor opened his mouth and named Li Ye the captain of Xuejie and Viscount of Wugong County. Did he already know Li Ye?

Li Linfu felt very uneasy. If something went wrong, there must be a monster. There must be many secrets behind his grandson that he didn't know.

At this time, the servant reported at the door, "Forty-eighth Master is here!"

"Invite him in!"

After a while, Li Ye quickly walked into the tent, knelt down and saluted his grandfather, "Grandson, see you grandfather!"

When Li Linfu saw his grandson holding a very big deer antler, he laughed and said, "This deer antler is."

Li Ye brought over dozens of kilograms of deer antlers and said with a smile: "My grandson hunted this, give it to my grandfather!"

Li Linfu looked at the deer antler up and down with great interest, and then weighed the weight, "Isn't this more than thirty kilograms?"

"Thirty-five pounds!"

"The largest deer antler I have ever seen in my life is twenty pounds. It was given to me by the emperor in the second year of Tianbao. I have always kept it in the treasury. I didn't expect that there are thirty-five pounds of deer antlers. You have such a heart, and my grandfather is very happy."

, I will also send some tonics to your mother and aunt later."

Li Linfu asked Li Ye to sit down again, and the grandfather and grandson sat face to face at the small tea table like friends.

Li Linfu poured him a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile: "Isn't the Cheng family's place very lively today?"

Li Ye nodded, "They are all celebrating Cheng Changyin as the consort!"

"Yes! Once the Cheng family has a consort, Cheng Ruobing will be the first to benefit. He will probably be promoted to the crown prince's guest."

After a moment of silence, Li Linfu asked again: "Have you met the Emperor before?"

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "There is a secret. I promised not to tell anyone, but I can tell my grandfather!"

"Who did you promise to?" Li Linfu asked tentatively.

"Fierce Phoenix!"

"Just tell me! I won't tell anyone anymore."

Li Ye dipped some tea and wrote on the table, 'Feilong is the Supreme Emperor!'

Li Linfu stood up and stared at the line of words on the table, as if he had seen a ghost.

How is it possible? The Supreme Emperor passed away in the fourth year of Kaiyuan, but when he thought about it, he suddenly remembered a rumor that had been heard for a long time. The Supreme Emperor did not die, but became a monk. Qiaoling was just a tomb of clothes.

Are the rumors true?

Li Linfu slowly sat down again, staring at the words on the table in stunned silence. After a while, he stared at Li Ye and said, "How do you know?"

"Feilong passed away. The night before yesterday, Liefeng called me. The first time I saw Feilong was also the last time. Half an hour later, he passed away. After cremation, his ashes were scattered into the Wuting River."

Li Linfu pinched his forehead gently. What his grandson told him shocked him so much. First, the flying dragon was the Supreme Emperor, and then the Supreme Emperor died again. What does this mean?

Li Linfu was so confused that he didn't know what it meant?

Li Ye reassured his grandfather and said: "Although the incident is shocking, it is actually nothing. Master Feilong is just an old Taoist priest who does not care about political affairs. His destiny has come, and his last words are to scatter his ashes into Wuting River after cremation. That's why he

There is this spring hunt.”

Li Linfu tried to calm down and asked: "How many people attended the funeral in the end?"

"There are five people in total, the emperor and his concubine, Gao Lishi, Lie Feng and his grandson."

"The prince didn't participate either?"

Li Ye shook his head.

That's right. Li Linfu had long seen that the emperor would change his prince sooner or later. So when Feilong died, the emperor didn't let the prince attend the funeral, which meant that the prince didn't know that Feilong was the emperor.

This is circumstantial evidence that the emperor still wanted to change the prince, otherwise he would not fail to tell the prince about such an important matter.

After thinking about this, Li Linfu asked again: "What does Feilong want from you?"

Li Ye shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the mental method I practiced."

Li Linfu frowned, "It shouldn't be that simple!"

Although he didn't know why Feilong valued his grandson, one thing Li Linfu confirmed was that the emperor's appointment of Li Ye to officials and titles was largely due to Feilong, and it was not as simple as rescuing Prince Fengjie.

"Grandpa, do you think it's inappropriate for me to award this reward?" Li Ye asked again.

"That's not the case!"

Li Linfu said with a smile: "There will be no problem with a little Xuanjie Captain and Viscount. I just think that the emperor behaves differently from before. The emperor never awards rewards on the spot. I wonder if it has something to do with me? Now it seems,

It should be because of the flying dragon."

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "My grandson has another suggestion for his grandfather!"

"you say!"

"It's about the Tongluo tribe. This is an opportunity. My grandfather's attitude must be tough and positive, and we must completely root out this hidden danger. If necessary, my grandfather can even rush to Shuofang in person. My grandson's wish must be to let this matter pass.

Let the emperor see the value of his grandfather!"

Li Linfu stroked his beard and nodded, thinking of his grandson's suggestion together with him.

Early the next morning, the spring hunt ended early, and the large group of people began to break camp and set off. However, because many people's carriages had not arrived yet, the return journey seemed a lot more embarrassing.

Various items were not taken away for the time being, and one person was left to guard them. The other female family members crowded into a carriage, and the maids, servants, and other servants could only walk.

The team moved very slowly, and everyone could keep up. After walking for dozens of miles, carriages arrived one after another from Chang'an. Everyone got on the carriage again and headed for Chang'an.

Li Longji's temporary imperial study was an extremely large carriage, furnished like a room, luxurious and comfortable.

In the carriage, five people, including the Emperor Li Longji, Right Prime Minister Li Linfu, Left Prime Minister Chen Xilie, Prince Li Heng, and Chamberlain Gao Lishi, sat at a large table.

"I have just received news that Abusi escaped westward from Wugong County at noon yesterday. He probably wanted to escape back to Shuofang. Whether he escaped or not is not important. What is important is how we deal with Shuofang and Tongluo tribe. I wanted to move Tongluo tribe to Shuofang before.

When I came to Youzhou, I was worried that they would become powerful and become a scourge to the Central Plains. Now it seems that this worry is not unnecessary. Let's talk about it! How can we deal with the aftermath? "

Li Longji glanced at Li Linfu and said, "Li Xiangguo says it first!"

Li Linfu leaned forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the attitude of the humble minister is very clear. We must kill one to serve as a warning and completely annihilate the Tongluo tribe. If the Tongluo tribe is not destroyed, more Absi will appear."

Chen Xilie has always been Li Linfu's follower. He will say whatever Li Linfu says. He also quickly said: "Wei Chen completely agrees with Li Xiangguo's opinion. When taking the lead in suppressing rebellion, you must not be benevolent as a woman."

Li Longji was very satisfied with the statements of the two prime ministers. Absi actually used Chun Shou to assassinate him. First of all, he couldn't tolerate it. He said slowly: "Anyone who offends our Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away it is. The same is true for the Tang Dynasty, no matter what

Wherever Absi escapes, he must be killed!"

When Li Longji said this, it was final.

At this time, Prince Li Heng said from the side: "Father, I also want to say a few words!"

Li Longji nodded, "Your Majesty, please tell me!"

"I would like to report to my father that I am very worried about Shuofang. At the beginning of the year, Zhang Qiqiu led 24,000 Shuofang troops south to fight against Tubo. Now there are only more than 10,000 troops in Shuofang area, while the Tongluo army has more than 30,000 cavalry.

Once Abusi marches south to Shuofang, I am afraid that Shuofang will not be able to be saved. If he colludes with Tibet again, both sides will echo from the north to the south, and it will not be easy for the court to regain Shuofang."

"What do you think?"

"My son has two plans. First, Shuofang's army wants to return to Lingzhou, but it may not have enough troops. You can order An Sishun to lead the Hexi Army to support Shuofang, or the imperial court can send troops and send an army from Chang'an to directly support Shuofang!"

Li Longji said slowly: "Both plans are good, let me consider them!"
