Xuannv Heart Sutra

Chapter 585

Li Linfu was not only the chief prime minister, but also served as the envoy of Longyou and Hexi Jiedu and the minister of the Ministry of officials.During the Tianbao period, he changed his official name and served as the right minister, added Guanglu doctor, and moved to Shangshu Youpushe.In the sixth year of Tianbao, the third division of Fuyitong was added, and 50 households were given real seals (land, property, and personal life). The grace has reached the extreme.Li Linfu built the Libi Palace in his capital, and later Xuanzong rewarded him with King Xue's villa in the east of Chang'an.Lin Fu loved sensual entertainment, Xuanzong also bestowed two female musicians, as for the rare treasures bestowed over the years, it is impossible to calculate.Li Linfu has many concubines, including more than [-] female pets and male pets.

According to the old system of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister did not use guards of honor to clear the way when he went out, and did not show off his majesty.Ordinary scholars and people don't have to avoid the prime minister when they are walking, but Li Linfu is different from others.He felt that he had a lot of grudges and was worried that the assassin would harm him.When he entered and exited the imperial court and his own mansion, he had to have a large group of people, shouting in front of him and supporting him behind him, for strict protection.A hundred paces away from where he was riding, soldiers were sent to clear the road and drive away passers-by.His residence was even more tightly closed and heavily guarded.He has to change places to sleep every night, and even his wife, concubine and children don't know where he sleeps.He has 25 sons and 25 daughters, few of whom are successful.His son, Li Xiu (sound xiù), is a relatively clear-headed figure, who is worried about what he does and can't do anything about it.

Once Li Xiu cried and said to him: "Your Excellency is in a high position, has been through business for a long time, and has made too many enemies. Once disaster strikes, it will be impossible to be a commoner at that time! It's better to retreat as soon as possible!" Li Linfu was in power, Like the scorching sun, how could he listen to his son's advice.He replied very unhappy: "I'm already riding on the back of a tiger, and I can't get off!" This is the truth, he can only ride on the back of a tiger.

When Yang Guozhong first came to court, Li Linfu didn't care.I think Yang Guozhong's wit and cunning are far from his opponent.After Yang Yuhuan, the imperial concubine, became a patriot in the inner palace and her family was full of wealth, Li Linfu wanted to restrain her, but it was too late, and there was nothing she could do.Just at that time, the ethnic minorities in the southwest launched a rebellion. Li Linfu expelled Yang Guozhong from the imperial court on the grounds that he was also the governor of Jiannan. many.

At this time, Xuanzong, who was doting on the noble concubine, had another idea. In order to please Yang Yuhuan, let the Yang family go to heaven, and was about to grant Yang Guozhong the post of prime minister, how could he be allowed to sleep by the side forever?Therefore, on the day of Yang Guozhong's farewell, Xuanzong specially asked him to return to Beijing after the border affairs were settled, and he had another appointment.In a farewell poem written by Xuanzong to Yang Guozhong, he clearly expressed his intention to let him be his prime minister.Although Li Linfu was very unhappy in his heart, there was nothing he could do.In addition, at this time Li Linfu was seriously ill and unable to compete with Yang Guozhong, he could only sigh.

In October of the 11th year of Tianbao (755 A.D.), Emperor Xuanzong was lucky to visit the Lishan Hot Spring Palace. Li Linfu accompanied him with illness.Taking medicine is ineffective, so I have to ask God for divination.The sorcerer instructed the method of returning to life: "If you can see Xuanzong, you can recover from the disease immediately." The family reported to Xuanzong through the servants, and Xuanzong wanted to visit the sick bed, but was blocked by left and right.So he used a half-way method to save Li Linfu's life. Xuanzong climbed to the Jiangsheng Pavilion of Huaqing Palace, placed Li Linfu's sick bed on the side, and watched from a distance. Can't bring the dead back to life, still dying.

The death of Li Linfu made the Manchu civil and military breathe a sigh of relief.The enemies scolded him "death is more than a crime", the party regretted that the backer had fallen, and Xuanzong lamented the loss of his kind and holy minister.For Yang Guozhong, he was really overjoyed. He not only lost a political opponent, but also took over the power of prime minister, and he could also avenge his old enemies of demotion.

Taking advantage of Li Linfu's unburial, Yang Guozhong secretly instigated An Lushan to expose his old evils.An Lushan was so vicious that he made an emergency landing and took Abusi to court, falsely claiming that Li Linfu had adopted him as his adopted son, and asked him to sleep by his side to launch a military rebellion.This accusation is like a groundbreaking shock, shocking Chinese and foreign subjects.His son-in-law Yang Qixuan was afraid of killing the family, so he immediately came forward to expose Li Linfu's crimes to protect himself, falsely claiming that Li Linfu had cursed the emperor with the magic trick of "disgusting victory" and plotting wrongdoing.

Xuanzong was old and fatuous, unable to distinguish the authenticity from the false, and immediately issued an edict to deprive him of all official titles and bury him with common people's rites.The property of the whole family was confiscated, and all the sons and daughters were exiled outside Lingnan.Although Li Linfu's fate cannot be understood as "evil will be rewarded with evil", it is indeed full of evil and deserves what he deserves.

After Li Linfu's death, his funeral was even worse than that of ordinary people. A generation of traitors has become a thing of the past, and a thin coffin buried Li Linfu, who had been prime minister for 19 years in the Tang Dynasty.

In November of the 11th year of Tianbao (AD 75 Yaoyao Year), in front of Li Linfu’s new grave, two women dressed in black stood silently in front of the grave with tears streaming down their faces. Li Wei's wife, Yao Yao, who is already a mother, looks more mature and plump than before.

"Master, why did you bring Yao'er to pay homage to Li Linfu?" Yao Yao didn't understand. After Li Linfu died, Wu Yumeng actually came to Taihu Huting Xiaozhu and brought her to Li Linfu's grave alone. With Wu Yumeng's appearance, Yao Yao knew that her master seemed to have some relationship with Li Linfu.

"Yao'er, kneel down and kowtow to your father. Although he has committed many evils in his life, he is still your father no matter what." Wu Yumeng looked at her apprentice with a complicated expression.

"Master, didn't Yao'er's parents die a long time ago?" Yao Yao asked suspiciously.

"Silly boy, there are some things I should tell you now." Wu Yumeng sighed softly, with a pretty face that couldn't tell whether it was sadness or relief?
"Go! Kowtow to him first, and send him off for the last time."

Yao Yao knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed a few times in front of Li Linfu's grave. Although there were many things she didn't quite understand now, she still followed Wu Yumeng's words.

"Okay, get up! Just do what you want. In fact, Li Linfu is not worthy to be your father at all, and I am not worthy to be your mother." Wu Yumeng looked at the grave without a stone tablet in front of him, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Sad, in the past, she hated Li Linfu so much, she wished to kill Li Linfu with her own hands, but now, seeing what happened to Li Linfu after his death, she suddenly felt that her heart was very painful, as if all the motivation to live suddenly disappeared. It's not the same. In the past when Li Linfu was alive, she always tried every means to sneak into Li Linfu's house and assassinate Li Linfu. The repeated failures aroused her confidence again and again, but now in a blink of an eye, everything changed. The greatest enemy in her life died, the man she loved the most died, and her heart also died. Now she can't hate the man who ruined her life at all. Only now did she know that she had been I love this heartless man deeply.

"Master, what did you say? Are you my mother?" Yao Yao pointed at Wu Yumeng with surprise on her face.

"Yeah! More than 20 years have passed, and some things should be known to you, hehe Yaoer, you didn't expect my enemy to be Li Linfu!" Wu Yumeng shook her head and said with a wry smile: "More than 20 years ago, It was your father who stole my heart. Although the time we were with him was very short, it was the happiest time in my life during that time. Because of him, I betrayed the Xuannvmen. In the end he actually abandoned me, I hate, I wish I could kill him with my own hands, I was pregnant with you when I left him, and I kept this matter from him and you, since he is dead now Now, all the love and hatred dissipated with his death, and you, I have to let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!"

"Master, this is not true, you tell Yao'er that you are lying to me, I don't believe it." Yao Yao burst into tears, and everything that happened after following Yao Yao here today made her feel like Had a dream.

"Yao'er, it's your mother who is sorry for you. Since you were a child, you haven't been able to enjoy the love of your parents for a day. Well, we should go too. When you miss me in the future, come to Luoyan Temple in Emei Mountain to see me." From now on, the blue lamp will always be with you, and your mother will spend the rest of her life atoning for the crimes committed by your father. Yaoer, you should live with Li Wei! Now that you have a child, take good care of your child. Don't be like your mother, you know?" Wu Yumeng stroked Yao Yao's head lovingly, her eyes were full of kindness.

"Mother!" Yao Yao called out softly. The address was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Silly boy, I'm already very satisfied to hear you call 'mother', promise mother, take good care of your brothers and sisters, no matter what, they are your half relatives , your father is dead, his family, you are obliged to take good care of them, I persuaded him in the early years, let him retreat bravely, he didn't believe me, and now he has fallen into this situation, which also hurt his own life Family, is fame really that important? Why did he do this?"

"Mother, Yao'er won't let you go. Could it be that you just let Yao'er have parents, and now you have lost them all? Mother, you can't be so selfish." Yao Yao's hands tightly pulled Wu Yumeng's clothes, and the wind cried out. With a whistling sound, a powerful adulterer was buried in this desolate place, and at the same time, an unforgettable love was also buried.

"Silly boy, mother's heart is dead. All these years, I have always wanted to kill your father with my own hands, but now that he is dead, I suddenly realize that there is no point in living. Perhaps, mother has always loved your father. Go! You have your life, and your mother has your mother's life, go! Go back to Taihu Lake and forget everything about today."

"Mother! Do you think Yao'er can forget now? You want me to forget, why do you want me to know?" Yao Yao sobbed softly. The thing happened so suddenly that she couldn't accept it for a while. .

Wu Yumeng broke away from Yao Yao's hand, and said: "Mother is gone, take care of yourself." After saying that, her body shot towards the distance like an arrow off the string.

"Mom! You can't leave Yao'er behind, you can't be so cruel"

"Yaoer, don't cry, mother is very sad now, let her find a place to think about it, and I will take you back to Huting Xiaozhu after a while." Li Wei suddenly appeared beside Yao Yao, Holding Yao Yao's body tightly with both hands, wiped away the tears on Yao Yao's pretty face with a towel, and looked at Yao Yao lovingly.

"Brother Li!" Yao Yao buried her head in Li Wei's chest and cried bitterly.

After a long time, Li Wei said: "Yao'er, come! Let's give Dad a good ride together. Anyway, he is also your father, and his blood flows in your body." Li Wei patted Yao Yao lightly. of fragrant shoulders.

Li Wei and Yao Yao knelt on the ground together, kowtowed to Li Linfu's grave, pulled Yao Yao to stand up, and said: "Now I will take you to pick up your relatives, so that they will not be harmed by Yang Guozhong." Yes, this is your mother's wish, we must fulfill it, so as not to leave any regrets in her heart."

"Thank you Brother Li!" Yao Yao burst into a smile, looking at Li Wei with a sweet face, looking at the man she loved so much, smiling like a pear blossom, very attractive.

"Silly Yaoer, you are my wife, and your relatives are my relatives. Tell me, where are we going to send them? The Tang Dynasty is about to be in chaos, and the time for An Lushan's rebellion is coming. Is it still the innocent people all over the world who are suffering? It’s a pity that I can’t help. It turns out that reaching the realm of nature is not so good. Many things are done with hands and feet tied. It’s better than before! Whatever you want to do do what."

"Brother Li, can you take them all to live in Taihu Lake?" Yao Yao looked at Li Wei expectantly.

"Of course I can. Of course I have to obey my wife's orders. Otherwise, if you don't let me give up the bed, what should I do? You have to give me a lot of sons."

"Smelly!" Yao Yao's voice sounded from afar, and Li Wei hugged Yao Yao and disappeared in place.

On the same day, all of Li Linfu's family members disappeared mysteriously on the way to the place of exile. After Yang Guozhong knew about it, he just smiled slightly, thinking that Li Linfu's family members were secretly solved by the people he sent. At the same time, Those who received Yang Guozhong's order also lied about the completion of the task. Therefore, the disappearance of Li Linfu's family was left alone, as if no one cared about it.
