The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 166
Dangliu stepped on the rocks with bare feet, and the sound of water stimulated the wind to blow his clothes.

Life is so self-satisfying, how can you be a man.

Alas, the second and third sons of our party will not return until they are old.

——"Mountain Rock" Han Yu

……

The death of Wang Chiu shocked the government and the public.

Prince Li Heng knew that another round of wind and rain was coming, so he closed the door to thank the guests. Even his sons Li Chu, King of Guangping, and Li Tan, King of Jianning, did not see him.

It was raining heavily tonight, and Li Heng climbed to the gazebo on the top of the rockery alone.The wind and rain are coming from all sides, and there are bursts of chill.In the fish pond below the rockery, the lotus leaves were scattered by the torrential rain. "Fish diving, it's going to rain", the koi fish showed their "floating heads", struggling desperately, trying to catch their breath.Yes, struggling to breathe.Li Heng felt that this was how he felt.One day, when I can no longer breathe, I will be truly relieved.

The heavens look at the world, I am afraid it is like we look at the fish in this pond.The geometry of life and death, are all humble dogs.

Once Wang Chi died, Yang Guozhong, with the support of the Holy Majesty, would definitely directly challenge the prime minister.Li Linfu will not sit still, his biggest counterattack is to support the new king.As long as the new king succeeds to the throne, the Yang family will inevitably come to an end.

Li Linfu fought with him for more than ten years, cut off all his wings, and there was no possibility of joining forces.He will definitely choose another one from the princes, and speed up the pace of establishing a reserve.

Concubine Yang Guifei has no children. If she wants to continue to rule the harem, the safest move is to adopt one of the existing princes.Based on the pampering and pampering of the imperial concubine by the father today, the adoptive person is designated as the crown prince.

It is only a matter of time before one is abolished.The greatest tragedy in life is to slip into the abyss step by step, knowing that destruction is imminent, but unable to break free.

Stop, stop, the pawns crossing the river can only move forward.

Li Heng really wanted to rush into the rain and roar wantonly.

However, he can't.Not even a single sigh.

All around, countless pairs of invisible eyes are firmly locking on him.Even a few coughs will be transmitted to the palace in an instant, and will be interpreted in various ways.

Thinking of this, Li Heng became vigilant. He spent too long in the gazebo alone, and if he didn't go back to the house, he would inevitably cause trouble again.He smiled gracefully towards the deepest part of the courtyard...

Life is so self-satisfying, how can you be a man.

……

The wind and rain entered the house, blowing the calligraphy and paintings on the case table to the ground.

Li Qiu hurried to the window, instinctively glanced at the courtyard, and closed the window.

King Qing Li Cong leaned on the couch, his long and narrow eyes half closed.

Li Qiu sat on his knees and said, quite excited: "One is the old chief assistant, and the other is the upstart relative. I don't know who will win in the future?"

"Then who do you think will win?" Prince Qing Li Cong asked with a smile.

"Yang Guozhong"

"Why?"

Li Qiu said: "Although Li Xiang is the head of all the officials, most of the officials from the three provinces and six ministries are his disciples. But it is human nature to be foolish. Once Li Linfu shows signs of losing power, all the officials will abandon him and go to Yang Guozhong. The Yang family has a noble concubine to support him." , when the wind blows beside the pillow, Li Linfu is no match. Yang Guozhong is sure to win."

"The most terrible thing in the world is to have the mentality of 'winning'. Li Linfu has been prime minister for 20 years, and he can be described as an evergreen tree in the political arena. How can he be easy to deal with. Let me ask you, will Prime Minister Li fight back?" Qing Wang Li Cong said .

"We will fight back!"

"How to fight back?"

"This..." Li Qi didn't know how to answer, did he abolish Concubine Yang Gui?Obviously impossible.

"There are only two ways to make enemies dare not deal with you: first, you can't beat you; second, it's not worth it." King Qing Li Cong reminded.

Li Qiu thought about his father's words, and tried to come up with his own plan: "Li Xiang can either guess the heir apparent in the Holy Majesty's heart, and make a contribution to support him. Or, let Yang Guozhong know that if he dares to make a move, he will be sure." The risk of the imperial concubine getting in."

King Qing Li Cong praised: "To be in politics is to play tricks on people. This is the first lesson for children of the royal family to become officials."

Li Qiu asked again: "Father, Li Yang fights, each has its own means, who will be the final winner?"

King Qing Li Cong said with a smile: "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows. You should visit Gao Weng more recently."

……

As soon as Wang Yu died, Xuanzong rewarded Yang Guozhong with dozens of positions that originally belonged to Wang Ji, such as Yushi doctor, Gyeonggi interview envoy, Guanzhong interview envoy, etc.Yongwang Li Lin was overjoyed when he learned about it.

He ordered someone to fetch a bottle of Gaochang wine and pour it into a luminous cup.This cup is carved from Hetian jade, and the cup tire, as thin as a cicada's wing, glows faintly under the light.The rose red liquid complements the milky white cup wall, making it magnificent and charming.

Yong Wang Li Lin gently shakes the luminous cup, allowing the flavor of oak and berries to fully blend with the air, exuding a mellow aroma.

Yongwang Li Lin said to Yang Yichan: "Although Li Linfu is the most expensive official, he has dominated the government for many years, and the emperor is tired of him. In the past two years, Li Linfu's health has been deteriorating, and he can't hold the position of chief assistant for a few years. On the other hand, after getting rid of Yang Shenjin, Wang Yu grew up day by day. He is younger than Li Linfu, has seniority than Yang Guozhong, and his financial management skills are no longer inferior to those of Wei Jian and Yu Wenrong. He was originally reserved by his father as the candidate to succeed Li Linfu. .I didn’t expect that it would end up in the hands of my younger brother.”

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

Yong Wang Li Lin smiled and said: "It's not just about becoming a prime minister, I'm afraid he will succeed Li Xiang as the first assistant, which is just a matter of one or two years."

Yongwang Li Lin said to Yichan: "Every time you come to my place, I always talk to you about government affairs, and rarely talk about children's love. I'm afraid Miss Yang is bored?"

Yang Yichan smiled and said: "No, I love to hear you tell about the court. Unexpectedly, the swords, lights and swords in the court are more dangerous and exciting than walking in the rivers and lakes."

Yongwang Li Lin smiled and said: "As women, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er also said similar things back then. The power struggle is life-and-death, and there is no such thing as admitting defeat. When political opponents fight, only one side will be killed and the family will be destroyed."

Yang Yichan nestled in Li Lin's arms, and said: "Speaking of it, kindness does not control soldiers. Once a general succeeds, it is so. There is nothing to complain about. But the Holy One seems to be able to get rid of all this, let go of power, and hand over political affairs. To Li Xiang."

Li Lin said: "Political affairs are trivial, and there is no fun to speak of. Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have a prosperous life, the father naturally doesn't have to worry about it. The father's artistic attainments are profound, and it's time to show off his hobbies."

Yang Yichan said: "I heard Taifu Xu once said that romance among scholar-bureaucrats is an elegant thing, but if emperors are romantic, it will be a disaster for the world."

Li Lin was taken aback for a moment, thoughtful, and remained silent for a long time.
