——Excerpt from "Encouraging Learning" Meng Jiao (Tang Dynasty)

……

Bai Fu said: "Marshal, in this way, when will Your Majesty get rid of Li Fuguo?"

Li Guangbi sighed: "Junior brother, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't know the complexity of human nature. Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

The reason why His Majesty gave Li Fuguo such great power is because Li Fuguo's pawn was specially used to deal with the Supreme Emperor and Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi's real name was Feng Yuanyi, and he was a descendant of the famous Sui Dynasty general Mai Tiezhang.

Mai Tiezhang is unparalleled in bravery, walking like the wind, running and galloping a horse, and can "travel five hundred miles a day".This person likes to drink, likes to make friends, values ​​faith, and holds the imperial umbrella for the emperor.Later, he became a general of the Sui Dynasty. He followed Yang Su to conquer the Turks and made meritorious service. He died in the battle against Goguryeo.

Gao Lishi is like the reincarnation of a wheat iron stick. He was born with supernatural powers since he was a child. After meeting a famous teacher, his martial arts are unfathomable.In the Great Inner Palace, only Li Fuguo can compete with it.

In addition, Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, has an elite forbidden army, which is said to be composed of Shaolin monks and soldiers. All of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and they can defeat a hundred with one.

If Li Fuguo didn't hold the military power of the Imperial Army, how could His Majesty snore and sleep peacefully when he was lying on the couch?

Therefore, as long as the power of the Supreme Emperor is still there, His Majesty will never depose Li Fuguo.It was upon seeing this that Mr. Li Bi retired.

When a Taoist character makes a move, he must follow the trend and move a thousand catties in fours and twos.Before the time comes, you will never do what you know you can't do.I only wanted to understand this truth after Mr. Li Bi retired. "

Bai Fu said: "Wouldn't the sun never shine when a traitor is in power?"

Li Guangbi sighed: "What the traitor said is just our opinion of Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo's chess piece, in the hands of the emperor, has countless ways to change it, the key depends on how to play chess.

Li Fu's power over the government and the people, harmed the country and the people, and gathered all the hatred in the world into one body.

In particular, the mastiff guards were set up, and the houses of all officials were ransacked and exterminated at every turn.All civil and military officials can't wait to eat his flesh and peel his bones.

As long as the influence of the Supreme Emperor can be eradicated, His Majesty can rest easy and have no future troubles.At this time, Li Fuguo's value has been exhausted, and he will become an abandoned son.

At that time, His Majesty only needs to raise his arms and call out, turn his hands over like clouds, rain his hands down, and kill Li Fuguo and his henchmen.

This move not only won the hearts of the people, but also highlighted the reputation of His Majesty.

No one in the world would complain about His Majesty's heavy use of treacherous craftsmen, lack of government leadership, and constant wars. Instead, they think that His Majesty is talented, insightful, and everything is under control.

All the families killed by Li Fuguo will become His Majesty's loyal and loyal subjects.

How much His Majesty indulges Li Fuguo today, will gain much in the future.

Just like a fisherman casts bait and casts a net, once he puts his bait and catches it, he captures the hearts of the people all over the world.

This is His Majesty's imperial mind. "

Bai Fu took a deep breath and said, "But, isn't Your Majesty worried that Li Fuguo and other rebels will not be able to deal with it?"

Li Guangbi's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Of course I'm worried. Therefore, in the future, His Majesty will rely on someone who is both loyal and capable of courage to eradicate Li Fuguo's power.

One of these ministers is Li Mi, the prime minister in white, and the other is you!

It seems that I didn't keep the two of you by my side, but it was actually protecting you and keeping you away from right and wrong.Whenever the time comes, activate it anytime. "

Bai Fu laughed at himself and said, "Marshal, you think highly of me. I'm a small frontier army school, so I'm not as important as you say."

Li Guangbi had a long beard in his hands, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, don't underestimate yourself. You are definitely not a good in the pool, otherwise you will not win the favor of Master Xu and your mentor, the two pillars of the empire.

All you need is an opportunity!
As the saying goes, is the golden scale a thing in the pool, it will turn into a dragon when encountering a storm.

Regardless of official position or military rank, the way of official career often seems to be fast, but it is actually slow; on the contrary, it seems to be slow, but it is actually fast.

The time has come, step up to the dragon!
However, secular people always think that promotion and gaining power are the most difficult things. In fact, controlling power and landing safely are the most difficult things in official career.

Just like my brother, I seem to be the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, holding power and enjoying unlimited scenery, but in fact I am walking on the edge of a cliff. If I am not careful, I will fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.

Since Guo Linggong was dismissed from the military, in the past six months, His Majesty has been promoting me, from Shuofang Jiedushi to Zhongshuling, Sikong, and Taiwei, all of them put me on the fire.

Not only does he carry a heavy burden, but he also becomes the target of public criticism. If he makes a mistake, his life is in danger. "

Having said that, Li Guangbi sighed deeply.

……

Speaking of Shaolin monks and soldiers, Bai Fu recalled the past and took the opportunity to change the topic to relieve Li Guangbi's anxiety.

After uncovering the book theft by the Japanese, the imperial court gave the abbot’s first disciple Master Zhaohuan to return to secular life, and Ren Xunyiwei, General Habayashi Zhonglang, organized the Shaolin Jagged Youth Monk Group formed by him into the Imperial Army. Xuanli restraint.

Bai Fu once eavesdropped on the conversation between the middle-aged monk Mingsha, who was also Fusang secret agent Sato Sehei, and An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, in the secret passage of the Buddhist hall.

According to Sato Sehei's description, Master Zhaohuan has high martial arts skills and great ambitions. Taking the opportunity of passing on the Dharma and teaching skills on behalf of his master, he deliberately recruited many young Shaolin disciples and formed a group of passionate young monks. His strength should not be underestimated.

Prior to this, Bai Fu also tried to find Master Zhaohuan through Mr. Fang Shuliu.But after Bai Fu joined the army, the matter was shelved.

After Li Guangbi left, Bai Fufei sent a letter to Huang Zhen, asking him to thoroughly investigate Master Zhaohuan's whereabouts.

……

When Bai Fu was inquiring about Master Zhaohuan, Zhaohuan, who had been renamed Liu Huan, appeared in the mansion of Longwu General Chen Xuanli.

Although Chen Xuanli was born as a general, he admired the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.The study room for hospitality is simple and elegant, without any clutter.The wooden floor is as clean as a mirror, spotless.

After Liu Huan performed the ceremony, Chen Xuanli ordered someone to give him a seat.Liu Huan thanked his seat and knelt down on the soft couch.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chen Xuanli ordered the maid to leave.

After getting rid of the outsiders, Chen Xuanli smiled and said, "I just unpacked two jars of 20-year-old rice wine from under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree today. Do you want to try it, General Huan?"

Liu Huan arched his long sleeves and said, "Thank you, General, but the last general just needs to drink clean water."

Chen Xuanli praised: "You have returned to vulgarity for many years, and you have never touched meat, which shows your devotion to the Buddha."

Liu Huan said: "The last general has become a monk since he was a child. Many things have become habitual and pedantic. Please don't blame the general."

Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "The sage values ​​you so much that he looks at you with admiration."

Liu Huan said: "If it weren't for the support of the general, how could the last general be able to enter the eyes of the sage."

Liu Huan answered these words very decently, which made Chen Xuanli quite satisfied.

He picked up the water ladle, poured a ladle of clear water from the stone trough, poured it into Liu Huan's cup, and asked, "General Huan, how is the matter assigned by the saint going?"

Liu Huan sat on his knees, raised his hands to the air, and said solemnly: "Thanks to the blessing of the sage, the general will not disgrace his mission.

Many generals in the Beiya Imperial Army came from the Shaolin Iron-Blooded Sangha, and these people were all my brothers and sisters back then.After I explained my purpose, they were all willing to follow me and die for the saint. "

Chen Xuanli nodded, walked to the wall of the book, took out a golden tin stick from the secret cabinet, and handed it to Liu Huan.

When Liu Huan saw it, he was overjoyed. This golden tin staff was exactly the Zen forest elephant used by Patriarch Bodhidharma.

Liu Huan got up quickly, held the golden tin stick, and placed it gently in front of him, respectfully, and paid respects.

Chen Xuanli said: "The will of the sage, as long as the big things are done, you will not only be given the title of abbot of Shaolin, but also the patriarch of the Zen sect, to lead the world's Buddhist sects."

Liu Huan lifted his robe, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said in a loud voice: "The saint is above, I, Liu Huan, will definitely live up to your majesty's grace!"
