Chapter 034
Zhang Huan was already determined to die, but when he suddenly heard that he was pardoned by the emperor, his mood quickly turned from great sadness to great joy, and he almost fainted immediately.Although he was dismissed from office and demoted to go home, at least his life was saved. He walked on the edge of the underworld and was lucky enough to get his life. What more could he ask for?
He came out of the prison, kowtowed again and again facing the direction of the palace, weeping loudly and shouting long live.

Because the emperor's pardon decree came too suddenly, the Zhang family didn't get the news beforehand, let alone send someone to pick up Zhang Huan from prison.

Zhang Huan, disheveled, stumbled back to the mansion, entered the door, and fell down in the courtyard again, weeping bitterly.

Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, who got the news, came in a hurry, and the Zhang family was immersed in the excitement of the rest of their lives.

Zhang Huan originally thought that his escape was due to the emperor's kindness and justice, but later he learned from his two uncles and the Liu family that his survival this time was due to the painstaking "management" of his third brother Zhang Xuan who had always looked down upon him. As a result, I can't help but have mixed feelings and I can't tell what it feels like.

Zhang Huan didn't mention it when he returned home.

After the person sent by Dali Temple Minister Xu Qiao to Li's house to report the news to Li Xiu, Li Xiu wandered around the hall for a long time irritably, and then went to Li Linfu's bedroom hesitantly.The matter is so important that he dare not fail to report to his father Li Linfu.

Li Linfu was indeed terminally ill.He half-lyed on the bed, although it was summer, but his body was still covered with a thin layer of quilt, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, his gray head was nestled on the soft pillow, his nose was slightly panting.

Two beautiful maids knelt under Li Linfu's bed and waited on him at any time.

Seeing the old man's haggard appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling sad and almost shed tears.He covered his face and sobbed silently, and immediately waved to the two maids, signaling them to go down first.

Li Linfu opened his eyes extremely slowly, the gloomy eyes of the past faintly shone with the divine light of the past.After all, he has been in power in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and although most of the prestige of this long-established superior has been lost due to serious illness, there is still a bit of it in the end.

"Father!"

Li Xiu let out a low cry and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Xiu'er..." Li Linfu struggled to utter two words, and then gasped violently.

Li Xiu panicked, got up quickly and was about to call the doctor, but saw Li Linfu waved his hands, his voice hoarse and suppressed, "Xiu'er, old...old man...it's okay, just sit down."

"Say—" Li Linfu's shriveled chest rose and fell, and he turned his head to stare at Li Xiu, raising his eyebrows with difficulty.

"Father... rest in peace of mind, Xiu'er is going to invite the imperial physician in the palace to treat father." Li Xiu didn't dare to say any more, and was about to get up to leave, but was grabbed by Li Linfu's weak and cold hand placket.

"Say!" Li Linfu's eyes showed a bit of powerless and fragile anger.

People like Li Linfu, even at home, when facing their own family and children, are equally awe-inspiring.

Under Li Linfu's prestige, Li Xiu saw that he was angry, hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "Father, Mrs. Guo Guo entered the palace to intercede for the Zhang family...the emperor just sent Gao Lishi to Dali Temple to pass the decree, pardoning Zhang Huan, Xu Qiao from Dali Temple sent someone to communicate with the mansion, asking my father to make a decision."

Although Li Xiu's voice was not loud, it clearly reached Li Linfu's ears word for word. Li Linfu's face suddenly turned red when he heard the words, his breathing became rapid, and a skinny hand suddenly waved in the air , his face became extremely hideous, distorted and terrifying.

"Father... Calm down, it's important to take care of your health." Li Xiu kowtowed under the bed in grief.

"Old man who is so angry!" Li Linfu's originally dull eyes suddenly flashed with intense and complex brilliance, his thin body shook suddenly, his legs kicked, his face fell back, and with a puff, he took out a deep red mouthful. Blood splattered out!

……

……

Li's family was in chaos and mourning, and four or five doctors rushed to rescue him. At any rate, Li Linfu was able to hold his breath. However, his signs of life were like a candle in the wind. He could die at any time, and the lights would go out in an instant. .

If it was Li Linfu's secret fate that this serious illness came so suddenly and violently, then Li Longji's decree to pardon Zhang Huan behind his back was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Li Linfu has been in power for decades, and the monarch and ministers have been "cooperating" for a long time. How can he not know Li Longji's temperament, and how can he not know what this seemingly insignificant matter actually means.

This means that the emperor already knew about his serious illness, guessed his life in an instant, and had the idea of ​​abandoning him and supporting Yang Guozhong to take the throne.

On the surface, the emperor gave Mrs. Guo Guo a face, but in fact, this emperor who was good at using political tactics did not do anything for no reason.This is just a "friendly" signal to the Yang family through Zhang Huan's pretext.

If Li Linfu was in good health, even if he killed by mistake, Li Longji would definitely not pardon Zhang Huan.He relied heavily on Li Linfu to rule the government for many years, and he had to give Li Linfu this face; but now it is different, since Li Linfu is doomed to die, as the emperor, he has to consider the smooth transition of the core power of the Tang Dynasty, and then support a person who can share his worries. The courtiers are here.

At this time, it can only be Yang Guozhong.

Time is fate and luck!From this, Li Linfu felt that the Li family's situation was over, and the end was not good.Anxious, angry, and extremely desperate, the vitality that was hanging on his chest with perseverance was [-]% gone.

Judging from this situation, Li Linfu's death time may be greatly advanced.Zhang Xuan thought about it later, and felt that perhaps the arrival of himself as a time traveler had caused partial and subtle "adjustments" to the established historical trajectory, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

**********************************************
Li Longji's point is full of twists and turns. As a modern traveler who is familiar with the historical process and has seen too much "Li Longji's two or three things", as a former high-ranking person in power, Zhang Xuan has a clear judgment from the beginning.

Because of this, he kept his mind clear, and he didn't just drift off without knowing why because the Zhang family's crisis was resolved and he had a chance to stand out.

When Zhang Xuan followed Gao Lishi to Mrs. Guo's mansion, Li Longji and Concubine Yang had already arrived for some time.Hearing that the emperor had ordered Zhang Xuan to come and serve him at the banquet, Mrs. Guo's heart skipped a beat and she breathed a sigh of relief.

main hall.

Li Longji and Concubine Yang took the seat, and Mrs. Guo Guo sat on one side with her son Pei Hui.It's just that Pei Hui sat silently behind his mother with his head down, not saying a word or even daring to raise his head, which made Mrs. Guo feel ashamed and angry.

Li Longji leaned over his head, Concubine Yang stretched out her green arms and picked up a piece of dessert as if no one was there, and sent it to his mouth with a soft smile.

Li Longji chewed and swallowed freely, then turned his head and glanced at Pei Hui and Mrs. Guo Guo, and laughed loudly, "Pei Hui——"

The young Pei Hui is doing "internal strength" with his eyes, nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart. He doesn't like this kind of occasion of singing, dancing, drinking and banqueting.

Hearing the emperor's call suddenly, Pei Hui's heart skipped a beat, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he timidly got up and bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, the boy is here."
