The cliffs are towering, and the surrounding area is dyed with clear mist. It is so aloof and indescribable that the pictures and descriptions are all inappropriate.
The gathering of gods and goddesses, the luan and the crane return in mid-air. The cloud platform is divided into distant mist, and the slanting light is hidden in the tree valley.
Falling rocks reverberated throughout the village, and thunder struck the temple with great power. The air was cold and broad, and the white buildings outside the shadow were faint.
The clouds are falling against the lotus, and the spring is exposed and flying away from the palm. The breasts are hanging dangerously and slippery, and the woodcut trees are sparse above.
Indifference brings true interest, and carefree life brings peace of mind. Wild flowers brighten the path of the stream, and spring moss surrounds it with pines.
When I was far away from the cave, I heard a chime, and the monks covered their doors in the daytime. In the past year, I washed my bones and washed my bones, and the incense and flames were willing to rely on each other.
——"Huashan" Zheng Gu (Tang Dynasty)
…
Li Xuexuan was overjoyed and said, "Senior Brother Fu, how do you feel?"
After Bai Fu looked inside, his eyes wandered and he thought: "Junior sister Li, not only am I fine, but my internal strength seems to have improved again!"
The Qingshan Taoist laughed loudly and said: "I have spent hundreds of years of cultivation to help you open up the Ren and Du channels, cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow. Of course you have improved."
Bai and Li looked at each other and were shocked.
Bai Fu turned over and knelt down, kowtowed in thanks.
The Taoist priest in green shirt stopped laughing, avoided Bai Fu and kowtowed, and said: "No need to thank me, someone has paid the bill for you."
After saying that, he looked at Li Xuexuan and said, "The person has been rescued, can he leave?"
Li Xuexuan nodded in agreement, turned around and said to Bai Fu: "Please tell my master and grand master that I have been practicing in Huashan for three years."
Bai Fu was stunned and asked: "Junior sister Li, what's going on?"
Taoist Qingshan didn't wait for Li Xuexuan's answer before interjecting: "In order to save you, this girl is willing to serve me on the mountain for three years."
Bai Fu was so anxious that he stopped Li Xuexuan and said, "Miss Li, this is too abrupt and must not be done!"
The Qingshan Taoist snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong? I'm just saying, this world is full of Zhongshan wolves. As soon as they survive, they forget their roots."
Li Xuexuan said politely: "Senior Brother Fu Wuyou, this senior was a master at that time and he will not embarrass me. After serving for three years, I will definitely learn a lot of skills."
Bai Fu walked up to Taoist Qingshan, knelt down and said: "Senior's life-saving grace, Bai Fu will never forget it. Bai Fu is vulgar and not worth what Junior Sister Li has done for me. Please take back your life, senior. If senior doesn't despise it,
, Bai Fu is willing to be a cow or a horse and serve you for ten years!"
The Taoist priest in green shirt said angrily: "This girl is cute and smart, and she just happens to be my companion. What do I want from you, a rude man? If you don't want to, you can give me your life back!"
Bai Fu said: "Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. If I do it, you can't embarrass Junior Sister Li."
The Taoist priest in green shirt sneered and said: "Okay, below this long sky plank road is a thousand-foot cliff. If you dare to jump off, I will promise to let your junior sister go."
Li Xuexuan was very anxious and said: "Senior brother, no!"
The green-robed Taoist's shot was like lightning, and he touched Li Xuexuan's acupoints from a distance. He rolled his eyes and said, "You're so excited, young man!"
Bai Fu walked up to Li Xuexuan and said in a gentle tone: "Junior sister Li, I also jumped over a cliff once in Qingcheng Nether Valley. I didn't die last time, and I definitely won't die this time. Don't worry. After coming down the mountain,
You go to Luoyang to find Taifu Xu, he will definitely help you find the person who killed you. If Chang'an is dangerous, you can go back to Emei."
Li Xuexuan was speechless and stared at Bai Fu, tears welling up in his eyes.
After that, Bai Fu walked to the edge of the cliff, turned to look at Li Xuexuan again. With a bright smile, as bright as a summer flower, he jumped...
The Taoist in green shirt stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the peaks, and murmured sadly: "I don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who live but cannot die, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not love.
That's it."
…
As Li Linfu expected, after Yang Guozhong replaced Wang Xian, he immediately turned his gun and pointed it at him.
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 is a foregone conclusion that Yang Guozhong will become the prime minister, and Li Linfu has become a thorn in his side that he must remove. "The loyalty of the country shocks the world, and Lin Fu has become 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 treading water. For the first time in his life, he felt fear.
For the first time in his life, this powerful prime minister, who was a highly respected minister, had great power and 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 requested Yang Guozhong, who had led the Jiannan Jiedushi from afar, to return to guard it. Li Linfu was overjoyed and immediately asked 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?
