Chapter 174: Stepping on the Stream Barefoot

The paths of the mountains and rocks are very small, and bats fly to the temple at dusk.

When I sit on the steps of the hall, the fresh rain has fallen, and the banana leaves are big and the gardenias are fat.

The monk said that the Buddhist paintings on the ancient wall were very good, and what could be seen by using fire to illuminate them was rare.

I made the bed, spread the mat, and put out a soup of rice. The sparse rice was enough to satisfy my hunger.

In the deep of night, there are no insects lying around, and the clear moon shines through the mountains.

There is no way to go out alone at dawn, and there is no way to go in and out.

The mountains are red and the gorges are dazzlingly green, and sometimes there are dozens of pines and pines surrounding them.

When the stream flows, I step on the rocks with my bare feet, and the sound of the water stirs up the wind and blows my clothes.

Life is so enjoyable, why should we be restricted to others?

Alas, the second and third sons of our party will never return home until they are old.

——"Mountain Stone" Han Yu



Wang Fei's death shocked both the government and the public. Different families had different reactions.

Qing Wang Li Cong and Li Qi discussed the situation in the court.

Prince Li Heng knew that another round of storm was coming, so he closed the door to thank guests, and even his sons Li Chu, King of Guangping, and Li Tan, King of Jianning, were not seen.

Yong Wang Li Lin was overjoyed when he learned of Wang Zhi's death and Xuanzong handed over dozens of concurrent posts held by Wang Zhi to Yang Guozhong.

He ordered someone to fetch a bottle of Gaochang wine and pour it into a luminous cup. The cup was carved from Hetian jade. The cup body was as thin as cicada wings and emitted a faint fluorescence under the light. The rose-red liquid reflected in the cup was magnificent.

charming.

Yong Wang Li Lin gently shakes the luminous cup to allow the aroma of oak and berries to fully mix with the air, exuding a mellow wine aroma.

Yong Wang Li Lin said to Yang Yichan: "Although Li Linfu is the head of the officials, he has controlled the government for many years, and his father is tired of him. In the past two years, Li Linfu's health has been deteriorating, and he will not be able to serve as the chief minister for a few more years.

On the other hand, after getting rid of Yang Shenjin, Wang Xian became bigger and bigger day by day. He was younger than Li Linfu, more senior than Yang Guozhong, and his financial management skills were no longer as good as those of Wei Jian and Yu Wenrong. He was originally the candidate left by his father to succeed Li Linfu.

.I didn’t expect that I would fall into the hands of my brother in the end.”

Yang Yichan said excitedly: "Then Master Yang will be in power soon?"

Yongwang Li Lin smiled and said: "Not only is he in charge, I'm afraid it will only be a year or two before he becomes prime minister."

Yongwang Li Lin said to Yichan: "Every time you come to my place, I talk to you about the government affairs of the court and China, and never boring things about the long-term love between children. I'm afraid Yang Mei is tired of it?"

Yang Yichan smiled and said: "No, I love hearing you talk about the affairs of the court. Unexpectedly, the swords and swords in the court are even more dangerous and exciting than those in the martial arts world."

Yong Wang Li Lin said with a smile: "What you are doing is what Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er also said back then. The struggle for power is life-and-death, and there is no such thing as surrendering. The political opponents will only stop when one party's head falls to the ground and the family is destroyed."

Yang Yichan snuggled into Li Lin's arms and said: "Speaking of words, kindness does not control the army. One general can make thousands of bones wither. That's how it is. There is nothing to complain about."

As Li Linfu expected, Yang Guozhong immediately turned his gun and pointed it at him after he replaced Wang Fei.

Yang Guozhong made a big fuss out of Wang's case, accusing Li Linfu of secretly colluding with Wang's brothers, and also being involved with the Turkic rebel general Abu Si. Abu Si was a Turkic general who once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but later had a rift with An Lushan.

And rebelled again and returned to Mobei.

In order to completely bring down Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong also encouraged Chen Xilie and Ge Shuhan to come forward to testify. Of course, Xuanzong would not easily accept the accusations made by Yang Guozhong and others. But despite this, from this time on, Xuanzong gradually alienated Li Linfu.

Instead, he gave all his trust and favor to Yang Guozhong.

At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that Yang Guozhong would become the prime minister, and Li Linfu had become a thorn in his side that he wanted to get rid of. "Guo Zhonggui shocked the world, and he began to regard Lin Fu as his enemy..."

In this fierce political battle, Yang Guozhong is likely to have the last laugh.

Faced with such a bad situation, Li Linfu inevitably felt that he was in a dangerous situation. For the first time in his life, he felt fear.

For the first time in his life, this powerful prime minister, who was an extremely popular minister, had great influence on both the government and the opposition, and had dominated the imperial government for more than ten years, felt a strong fear...

But in the last years of Tianbao, with the strong rise of Yang Guozhong in the imperial political arena, the era of Li Linfu monopolizing the political agenda was gone forever...

In the winter of the eleventh year of Tianbao (AD 752), Yang Guozhong became increasingly favored, and his tendency to worship the prime minister was already very obvious.

Just when Li Linfu was thinking hard about how to deal with it, a battle report suddenly came from Jiannan Road, saying that the Nanzhao army had invaded many times. The soldiers and people of Shu unanimously asked Yang Guozhong, who had led the Jiannan Jiedushi from afar, to return to guard it. Li Linfu was overjoyed and immediately petitioned Xuanzong.

, ordered Yang Guozhong to go on an expedition.

Although Yang Guozhong had been a soldier, he had never fought in a war. If he was really asked to go to the border to command operations, even if he did not risk his life, he would definitely be a loser. Yang Guozhong, who wanted to be prime minister, certainly did not want to take on this hot potato.

, so she cried and told Xuanzong that Li Linfu suggested letting him go on an expedition, which was clearly to frame him. At the same time, Yang Guifei also repeatedly interceded for Yang Guozhong. Xuanzong quickly comforted him and said: "You go first and arrange the military defense.

, I will wait for you to come back as soon as possible, and I will appoint you as prime minister as soon as you come back!"

With the emperor's promise, Yang Guozhong finally took reassurance, so he set out reluctantly. Knowing that Yang Guozhong's appointment as prime minister was a foregone conclusion, Li Linfu was greatly worried, but he had no plan, and he suddenly fell ill in panic.

rise.

This political strongman who had been at the pinnacle of power in the empire for many years has finally fallen irretrievably.

Yang Guozhong arrived in Jiannan, and within a few days, Xuanzong couldn't wait to summon him back.

As soon as he returned to court, Yang Guozhong heard that Li Linfu was too ill to get up. He was secretly happy, but at the same time he was full of suspicion.

This old boy is very cunning. Could he be pretending to be ill and trying to defraud me?

Yang Guozhong visited Li Linfu with great caution and doubt, and knelt down in front of his bed with extremely stiff movements. Li Linfu opened a pair of dull old eyes, stared at Yang Guozhong for a long time, and finally weakly

He said: "Lin Fu is dead, I will become the prime minister, and I will be tired of everything in the future!" I am about to die, you will definitely become the prime minister, and I will trouble you in the future!

Yang Guozhong was stared at by Li Linfu, but he was still not sure that this old guy was really about to die. "No.

Do you dare to take it or not..." Yang Guozhong waved his hands repeatedly, sweating profusely, and the expression on his face was one of embarrassment.

Obviously, until this moment, Yang Guozhong still suspected that Li Linfu was deceiving him, deceiving him, or testing him. But he actually blamed Li Linfu wrongly.

There is a saying: When a person is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, its song is sad. At the last moment of his life, Li Linfu really wanted to reconcile with Yang Guozhong sincerely, because his most concerned thing now is no longer who should be in charge.

Prime Minister, but no matter who becomes Prime Minister, he hopes that this person can help him preserve the honor and glory behind him, as well as the fame, fortune, glory and wealth of his descendants. Now that Yang Guozhong's appointment as prime minister is a certainty, what other reasons does Li Linfu have?

To obstruct it?

Of course he hopes to reconcile with Yang Guozhong.

But the question is - is Yang Guozhong willing to reconcile with him?
