Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Fifth: Wang Changling Says Farewell to Li Twelve

Wang Changling, who came from a poor family and was admitted as a Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, is now the school secretary of the Secretary Province (Guan Sishuiwei school secretary).Wang Changling has a broad and far-sighted vision, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his heart.Sometimes when he thinks of the barbarian offenders, he will write a poem full of emotion: "But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain!" The realm is vast and the vision is lofty! The above shows that Wang Changling is a genius poet, and it also shows that for such a casual person, it is simply a joke to let him take charge of proofreading books.

Finally, Wang Changling's style angered the leader and demoted him to Longbiao (Qianyang, Hunan).A few days ago, Master Li Bai heard about Meng Haoran's death. He heard that brother Changling (ten years older than Li Bai) was also a fan of Meng Haoran, and he claimed to be his fan, and he was a fan of both of them ( In fact, it can be referred to as "mutual fans"), now that he has been relegated to see himself, Li Bai is very happy.He ran over and introduced himself. The two hit it off, drank wine and ate a lot of seafood.Fortunately, there were no malignant sores on Li Bai's back, he ate and drank whatever he wanted, and he was still a good person after eating.

At the time of parting, Wang Changling felt sad and wrote a poem for Li Bai—— Swaying the Zhufen of Balingzhou, the rumors of the Qingjiang River are heard. The mountains are long, but the autumn city is not visible, and the reeds are empty and the water is cloudy at dusk. Li Bai also wrote a poem to Wang Changling—— When the poplar flowers are all gone, Zigui cries, and it is heard that the dragon crosses the five streams. I send my sad heart and the bright moon, and follow you to the west of Yelang. Poets, go on! In March of the first year of Tianbao (742 A.D.), Li Longji arranged a singing and dancing performance in the Qinzheng Building, with beautiful women like clouds.He himself looked out from the curtain, but his mind was not entirely on singing and dancing.Because at this time, Lu Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of War, had to leave first, so he stood up cautiously and went out to lead the horse.Li Linfu, who was sitting on the side, squinted his eyes, carefully paying attention to all the details he could notice.

He found that Li Longji looked at Lu Xuan with passionate eyes, and he was sure that this Lu Xuan must either be honest or die. Why did Li Longji watch Lu Xuan off? The reason is simple, because Lu Xuan has a temperament.Li Linfu, who was not very good-looking, felt very upset. There was no plastic surgery hospital at that time, so he couldn't have plastic surgery. If his face could be changed, Li Linfu would dare to go all out and don't want it. He could change it as many times as he could. It's a pity that his idea could not be realized, otherwise he would have to change his face to Zhang Jiuling's and his figure to Gao Lishi's.Li Linfu's face is nothing to look at. When a person is least confident, he will despise a good face. For example, when Li Linfu looks in the mirror, he will suddenly feel that his face has changed.Well, since I can't do it myself, I can only squeeze out those who can.

Li Linfu really wanted to kill Lu Xuan quickly, so he found Lu Xuan's children. The cheating warm-up activities have begun. Li Linfu: "Zunjun is really extraordinary, Lin Fu has to admire it! It goes without saying that I have friendship with Zunjun, so I must tell you that there is a shortage of talents in Jiaozhi (Vietnam) and Guangzhou, and the Holy One wants Zunjun to go. , What do you think?" The Lu family was shocked by Li Longji's decision and looked at each other in dismay.Seeing the surprise of the Lu family, Li Linfu suddenly laughed and said: "I also know that you are afraid of far away. If you are afraid of far away, I will go all out and ask you to go to Luoyang to do some business and guest work on behalf of the emperor. Don't look at it as a child. live, but it is still considered to be in Beijing, it is very honorable!"

The Lu family was deeply moved and watched Li Linfu go. Lu Xuan heard from her family that Master Zhongshu had notified Lu Xuan to go to cochin.Lu Xuan was frightened, and hurriedly wrote a letter, urging Li Longji to arrange for him to be a small official in Luoyang.After receiving the letter, Li Longji was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he analyzed the reason.Lu Xuan is a decent person, he doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong, he must have his own reasons.It happened that the Prime Minister Li Linfu was agitating on the sidelines, which contributed to this beautiful event.Lu Xuan, who had been demoted more than ten levels in a row, aroused widespread sympathy. Some people justly demanded that Li Longji should let Lu Xuan go to Huazhou as the governor, instead of leaving a talented person in the trash.

Unexpectedly, Li Longji agreed. Li Linfu was extremely angry, and came to Li Longji, saying that he raised his hands in favor of Lu Xuan's diligence and hard work, but it was precisely because he was overworked that he asked to go to Dongdu to be a casual official with nothing to do. That being the case, wouldn't it be a beauty for the emperor to insist on making him the governor? Li Linfu's thoughtful care made Li Longji feel the prime minister's dedication to all officials.He obeyed Li Linfu's request, and indeed arranged for Lu Xuan to be dismissed. Learn about Li Linfu's murder process——

Li Longji still likes to make good use of talented people. Yan Tingzhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, hated Li Linfu deeply because he had not paid tribute to Li Linfu for three years.So Li Linfu has been looking for opportunities to punish him.On that day, Li Longji thought of Yan Tingzhi's talent, and asked, "Where is Tingzhi now? He is not bad and can be used!" Li Linfu told Yan Tingzhi's situation and echoed Li Longji's praise One of Yan Ting. The "sage" Lai Junchen once repeatedly emphasized that if you want to destroy a person's reputation, you should praise him vigorously and without margin.Li Linfu has practiced this move perfectly, but relying on this move alone is not enough to win the struggle in a short time.

After retiring from the court, Li Linfu cheerfully invited Yan Tingzhi's younger brother Yan Shuzhi. As soon as they met, Li Linfu said to him straight to the point: "The emperor likes your brother very much, but your brother is not in the capital now, so this matter is more difficult to deal with! How about this, you hurry up and tell him that your brother is seriously ill and needs to go to Beijing for treatment." Yan Shuzhi jumped away gratefully, and told him Li Longji's love for Yan Tingzhi.Yan Tingzhi was also very happy and agreed to call him sick, so he played. Li Longji pinched Yan Tingzhi's Shangzuo with a serious expression.Li Linfu told Li Longji with a solemn expression, "It seems that Tingzhi is really old. Although His Majesty has the heart, we can't just use someone who has such a serious illness? Your Majesty works hard and works tirelessly, but Those who serve as ministers also have their own situations. Therefore, the minister dared to ask for the appointment of Tingzhi Sanguan, so it is convenient to take medicine and treat diseases!"

Li Longji sighed for a long time, and indeed awarded Yan Tingzhi a dismissal official.After Yan Tingzhi learned of the situation, he realized that he had followed Li Linfu's lead. As an outstanding representative of treacherous ministers and villains, Li Linfu patiently led Li Longji to evil paths, and he was bound to be favored.On the first month of the second year of Tianbao (743 A.D.), a person broke into the court. Li Linfu was nervous at first, and then very happy.Because the fat man who broke into the court did not pose a threat to him, but became his fan.On that day, An Lushan came to see Li Longji, and he reported that the locust disaster in Yingzhou last autumn. Fatty An prayed: "I am worried about being unrighteous and unfaithful to the king. I am willing to make insects eat my minister's heart; Insects scattered."

At this time, suddenly a flock of big birds flew from the northern sky, and devoured all the insects in one gourmet meal. Fatty An thought that this incident was enough to demonstrate Shengde and should be recorded by the historian (this incident was made up by An Lushan, and the historian did record it, but did not praise An Lushan).Li Longji was very happy. He seemed to think that it was hard to find a simple, loyal, fat and cute person like An Lushan. Li Linfu would not crowd out Fatty An, because Fatty An was uneducated and did not pose a threat to him, and Fatty An's ability to guess people's hearts could not be compared with him. Li Linfu specifically found An Lushan, and chatted with Fatty An, which scared An Lushan enough, because Li Linfu could guess his mind in every sentence.An Lushan lost his mind, feeling like a transparent person in front of Li Linfu.The fat man immediately respected Li Linfu, and never dared to make trouble in front of him.And Li Linfu also liked this barbarian very much. Even if such a person could become a prime minister, he would not be his opponent at all. Li Linfu continued his efforts and carried out several fruitful cheating activities. The following is the first season of Li Linfu’s cheating tutorial—— Li Linfu is not completely infallible in doing things. Li Linfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, controls the most important official positions in the Ministry of Zhongshu and Shangshu. He is in charge of the selection of officials. Confessed to two cronies.The two are Song Yao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Miao Jinqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Recently, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Zhang Yi was favored by Li Longji, Song Yao and Miao Jinqing stretched out their hot faces to ask for warmth. Is there something wrong with Zhongcheng? Zhong Cheng has something to say directly! Pay attention to the selection of officials by the Ministry of officials this year. OK So, we saw that after the announcement of the new official list, the first place was actually a child named Zhang Xi (the son of Zhang Yi).The ministers were in an uproar and talked a lot.Someone told An Lushan the big news.An Lushan analyzed it and thought it would be profitable, so he ran to Li Longji to complain.He asked Li Longji to call sixty-four people for an interview and ask them to write an essay on a topic.In the court, classmate Zhang Xi was holding the test paper, sweating all over his forehead, pent up for several hours, and finally handed in the blank paper (Xie held the test paper in his hand, and he couldn't write a word all day long, which was called "Yibai" by the people at the time). This incident angered Li Longji, cheating, right?Disastrous to the country and the people, right?Playing tricks under my nose, right?Poor, right? Li Longji decreed that Song Yao be demoted as the prefect of Wudang, Miao Jinqing as the prefect of Ankang, Zhang Yi as the prefect of Huaiyang, and the same examiner and judge, Pei Ju, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and others were all demoted to Lingnan.What is rare is that Li Linfu, the mastermind behind the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials, did not show up.Moreover, what is even more dizzying is that instead of hating An Lushan because of this incident, he kept flattering him in front of the emperor.In this way, Li Linfu, An Lushan, plus a Fan Yang Jiedu envoy and Hubu Shangshu Pei Kuan, the three became Li Longji's most trusted people. Who is Pei Kuan? A person who enforces the law like a mountain, is selfless, and is admired by the world. He was followed by Li Linfu. The smart Pei Kuan has already studied Li Linfu's secrets of harming people, but he never expected that Li Linfu would use other more perverted methods to harm him.It has to be said that Li Linfu's manipulative skills have broken through the limitations of Lai Junchen. It is really changing with each passing day, emerges endlessly, is brilliant, and keeps pace with the times. It has reached the point of being extremely cheating. Let's appreciate the whole process of Li Linfu harming Pei Kuan—— Li Linfu did not choose to attack directly, but focused on Pei Dunfu, a relative of Pei Kuan's clan. Pei Dunfu was a second-rate military general. He went out to sea to beg for thieves, but he didn't get a penny of credit. He led the army to eat up all the rations, and then led the army back empty-handed.After returning to the court, Pei Dunfu looked around for help to speak well at the court, and the first thing he found was Pei Kuan, who he shouldn't have been looking for.Pei Kuan agreed to play for Pei Dunfu, and Pei Dunfu jumped up happily, because relying on relatives can cost less or even nothing, and it is more reliable. He didn't know that Pei Kuan then came to Li Longji and truthfully described the whole process of Pei Dun's return to the sea for dinner, without saying a word of kindness for his relative. Li Linfu, who was on the sidelines, was secretly happy, and opportunities always favor those who are prepared. After retiring from the court, he found Pei Dunfu and told him how Pei Kuan slandered him, and said that if you don't believe me, Comrade Pei Dunfu, you can wait, and the emperor will definitely not reward you with a dime.Pei Dunfu was moved by Li Linfu's sincerity, and he was dissatisfied.Li Linfu saw that the time was right, so he felt aggrieved on behalf of Pei Dunfu, "Isn't it okay for relatives and friends to help each other? Are you just being bullied like this? Can you bear it?" Pei Dunfu was irritable at first, and after hearing Li Linfu's instigation, he suddenly became angry. Angry, "Pei Kuan also begged me to do something, did he forget? He's a wolf!" Li Linfu didn't ask what Pei Dunfu was talking about, he knew it would be better if he didn't ask.He sighed, "Let me tell you, you are too soft-hearted, you always care about your relatives. In fact, in his position, there are no relatives to speak of. He has treated you like this, and you are still so soft-hearted. Hello, you are too soft-hearted!" Pei Dunfu was angry and anxious, angry because of Pei Kuan's ruthlessness, and anxious because he couldn't take revenge on him.It was Li Linfu who saw what Pei Dunfu was thinking, and taught him: "That's how he is in the top position. He can do anything to get credit. Even if you are no exception, you should sue him quickly, and don't let him sue you first. !" Pei Dunfu went all out. He took out five hundred taels of gold and bribed Li Longji's Mei Ji. Just wait for Meiji to blow the pillow, and then Pei Dunfu can loudly say to his so-called relative: "Go to hell, Pei Kuan!"
