The gold-basketed treasure-mother cup is filled with fine wine, and it shines brightly.

Li Linfu gently stroked the pattern on the cup wall with his fingers, his expression slightly solemn.

He is dividing the sphere of influence in the court with others and formulating rules for the two factions to get along with each other.

No matter the height of the temple or the distance of the rivers and lakes, if there are no rules and no rules, officials cannot be allowed to criticize each other all day long, fight and kill each other.

"The Salt Law can only be tried in Hedong, and the truth cannot be seen that there are salt officials harming the people in other places."

"How about five years?"

Xue Bai did not agree too happily, and said thoughtfully: "Within five years, we will not interfere with the tax items outside Hedong. The general affairs of the world will still come from the Youxiang Mansion."

He put down the golden cup in his hand and felt that Xiangfu's osmanthus dew was quite delicious. It was not too sweet and had a refreshing taste.

Li Linfu put forward another condition, saying: "Pei Kuan should give up the post of Minister of Household Affairs."

"The right minister is joking. The salt tax in Hedong depends entirely on Pei Gong. How can we agree?" Although Xue Bai knew that Pei Kuan would not be able to keep him sooner or later, he could not give up on him easily on such an occasion, so he asked reluctantly.

: "How about giving up the post of imperial censor?"

Wang Fei, An Lushan is now competing for this position, so he simply threw this piece of meat away and let two wolves grab it.

Li Linfu saw through Xue Bai's thoughts, with contempt in his eyes, and said coldly: "The Minister of the Ministry of Finance must give way."

"Why rush? Although Mr. Pei is in office, the household department is actually in the hands of Wang Xue." Xue Bai said slowly, as if he remembered something, and asked: "Since he is in charge of the household department, Wang Zhi will

I have to be appointed as a minister or a minister?"

Li Linfu was silent for a while and finally gave up.

The two parties reached a consensus, and later, when talking about Yang Dang's popularization of bamboo paper, Xue Bai won some official positions as a general prisoner, and even promoted Li Xiu to the post of general minor prisoner.

We also asked several local officials from Sichuan and Sichuan to purchase bamboo materials.

Once the bamboo paper craftsmanship matures, the price of white rattan paper will first plummet, and some books and calligraphy will be discounted, which will cause countless troubles. Li Linfu thinks that it would be better if he does it himself. Party Yang is far from having the power of the Right Prime Minister to control

If you don't stop, you will definitely suffer backlash, so you can just sit back and watch.

Finally, it is the focus of cooperation between the two parties.

"Don't worry, the Pei Mian case cannot be investigated, and the saint will not blame the right prime minister." Xue Bai said: "The right prime minister suffered a setback because of me. It was a time of grievance."

"Do I still need to thank you for the truth?"

Li Linfu doesn't need reminding, he knows what to do.

Since the sage promoted Yang Wei because he thought he was not doing well, he could have a little temper and said, "Yang Yang is so powerful, why don't you let Yang Yang go check it out?"

To be honest, he was a little annoyed. He had been investigating the East Palace for many years and had solved many cases. After checking and checking, he still refused to depose the prince. He was simply raising him like a dog and asking him to deal with Li Heng all day long.

Barking, but actually holding the dog leash tightly to prevent the dog from actually biting me, and now I have an extra dog.

Having said that, Li Linfu was also curious about how Xue Bai would win over the crown prince's sworn brother. This was no easy task. A bright light flashed in his eyes and he decided to test it out.

"If your guess of the truth is correct, do you plan to let Yang Hao take over the case and take the opportunity to intimidate Wang Zhongsi?"

Xue Bai shook his head.

If wooing Wang Zhongsi is like taking away someone's wife, Li Linfu's method is too simple and crude, "Wang Zhongsi, if you don't know what is good and what is bad, will this big crime fall on you?"

"We won't investigate." Xue Bai said: "The right prime minister only needs to say that no clues can be found and ask the saint to hand over the case to... the East Palace for investigation."

"Check from Donggong?"

Li Linfu wanted to pick up the golden cup, but his movements froze when he heard this.

He was stunned for a moment. At that time, people called him Suo Dou Cock and Meatloin Knife. Compared to the insidiousness of the young man in front of him, at this moment, he actually felt ashamed of himself.

The look towards Xue Bai gradually became complicated. In addition to surprise and fear, there was also tacit understanding and a little bit of resentment... This was the son-in-law who was supposed to make suggestions for the Youxiang Mansion.

Xue Bai's treacherous plan is very vicious, because as long as the two of them work together, they can decide what the East Palace can and cannot find, and even how the saint views the results of the East Palace investigation.

By then, estrangement between the prince and his sworn brother had changed from impossible to possible.

"The truth is clear." Li Linfu finally picked up the wine glass.

"Okay." Xue Bai said, "Then it's settled."

The two golden cups exchanged greetings in the air and reached a tacit understanding.

But one thing they didn't mention was that after alienating Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi, Li Linfu could also win over Wang Zhongsi.

Xue Bai did it on purpose. With this extra possibility, he could give Wang Zhongsi a little more chance of survival...

After the business was settled, Li Linfu signaled for the maids to come in and serve the wine, and once again imitated the saint's cheerful laughter.

"At that time, you and your grandpa came together to present the engagement, but they were delayed due to some trivial matters. The marriage can continue to be discussed."

He was actually a little hesitant about marrying his daughter, and he didn't like Xue Baijian's eccentric style. But hesitation did not mean giving up. It was foreseeable that Li Heng would try his best to win over Xue Bai after today. This was by no means the result he wanted to see.

"This time, that time." Xue Bai said: "You don't need to bring up old things again."

"King Guangping once planned to marry the Lord of Hezheng County to you." Although Li Linfu had a smile on his face, he said habitually with a coercive tone, "Based on the facts, it is best for you to marry Qi Niang as soon as possible."

~~

"Continue to serve."

Li Xiu turned to look at the banquet hall and called the maids to make arrangements.

"I'll do it." Li Shiyiniang rushed forward, picked up the silver pot from a tray, and said with a smile: "Brother, you know that drinking with me is fun."

Li Xiu admitted this.

At the banquet, there is always a good-looking woman, brightly dressed, non-vegetarian talk, and fun, and the atmosphere is always good. Li Shiniang is just such a person.

"But Xue Bai doesn't know how to drink."

"That's even better. Just one drink and you can have a deep friendship."

Li Shiniang became more interested and started running with the wine bottle in hand, unable to stop her.

A gust of fragrant wind drifted by. The incense on her body was specially made, called "He Chun Xiang", which actually had a slight aphrodisiac effect.

Li Xiu was helpless when he saw this situation.

The next moment, a figure hurriedly passed by him. He turned around and saw that it was Li Tengkong who was wearing Taoist robes. Although he still looked like a fairy, he was clearly a little anxious.

"ha."

In fact, Li Tengkong was either anxious or felt that it would not be good if Xue Bai, a serious person, came to the house as a guest and Eleven Niang teased him as usual.

He hurriedly ran through the corridor and entered the banquet hall. Through the screen, he could already hear the conversation inside, and there was a faint quarrel.

Sure enough, just by listening to Li Linfu's angry tone, she knew that Xue Bai was not willing to marry her.

"What? You still don't like the daughter of the Right Prime Minister!"

"If I must tell the truth, I like Qi Niang very much, but what I despise is the Right Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister's office."

"..."

The raised skirt of his robe fell, and Li Tengkong stopped. He almost fell down because he ran too fast. He quickly held on to the screen and was stunned.

Although Xue Bai always wrote poems to her, they were euphemistic after all, but today he was so straightforward and bold... She suddenly felt that her heart was beating too fast.

Ahead, before Xue Bai turned around, Li Shiniang was sitting at the side table holding a wine bottle. Li Tengkong wanted to retreat and didn't know whether to step forward or run away at this time.

suddenly.

"Boom, boom."

There were heavy footsteps in the corridor.

In the distance, there was a voice transmission.

"Right Prime Minister, Hu'er is here..."

Li Tengkong thought to himself that since there were foreign guests coming, Eleven Niang couldn't do anything too extreme, so she immediately ran away.

Xue Bai turned around and saw an elegant and pretty figure, with a hint of panic in the air.

He stood up and walked to the hall door. Li Tengkong was leading two maids quickly across the path and hiding in the backyard.

In the other direction, the heavy footsteps became louder and louder.

"Boom, boom."

Finally, a fat figure turned around the pink wall. An Lushan was running with his hands on his belly.

He actually didn't run very fast, but he created an earth-shaking posture and looked very enthusiastic.

"Uncle!"

An Lushan also saw Xue Bai standing outside the banquet hall, greeted him with a smile, and said: "Why did uncle come to greet Hu'er in person? Hu'er can't bear it, he can't bear it."

Xue Bai frowned, wondering why Hu'er came here?

Judging from the arrangements of the Right Prime Minister's Office today, Li Linfu probably did not invite An Lushan. There may be a possibility that An Lushan got the news and guessed that he was going to persuade Li Linfu to let Pei Kuan and Wang Zhongsi go, and came to stop him. Because from his standpoint

It seems that An Lushan is more afraid of these two people than Li Linfu.

But does Hu'er know that he wants to protect the king's loyal heir? He only mentioned this today.

Xue Bai looked at the fat, smiling face, and all he saw was a look of innocence.

~~

"Originally, the saint wanted to recruit Hu'er to go to Xingqing Palace to report on his duties, but something delayed him." An Lushan laughed and said as soon as he sat down, "When I inquired, it turned out that it was my uncle who presented the bamboo paper, which is really a great thing that benefits all people.

."

It's hard for him to say this without any hint of complaint, and he didn't need anyone else to answer him, he could just continue talking on his own.

"Hu'er really admires my uncle so much. I even sent him a gift today, and then I found out that my uncle had come to the right prime minister's house for a banquet. Then I hurried over to ask for a drink, hehe."

"Oh." Li Linfu said, "Have Hu'er been to Xue's house yet?"

"Not only have I been to Xue's house, but I have also sent gifts to several places." An Lushan said: "The house where my uncle lives is too small. Hu'er doesn't stay in Chang'an often. He plans to talk to the saint and give the house in Daozhengfang to
