Chapter 98 Royal Certificate(2/2)

Then you really would rather die than harm the East Palace?

"Right Chancellor, I deserve to die for not being able to complete my errand..."

Yang Zhao waited for a while, but when Li Linfu didn't speak, he felt terrified.

However, when he took a peek, he found that the right minister was not as angry as expected. This was very strange. He clearly saw fragments of porcelain on the ground.

What's more, with regard to the matter of "nothing is left untouched", the right prime minister spent a lot of effort to prevent people from the grass and the wilderness from making arrogant opinions. At this time, everything was ruined, and he didn't get angry?

Thinking again of Li Linfu's reputation as "a man of words and a sword in his belly", Yang Zhao suddenly became frightened.

"That's fine."

Li Linfu finally sighed, stood up, and let the female envoy arrange his official uniform for him in preparation for the interview.

~~

The pear garden is still a fairyland scene.

Li Longji just stood up, and the singing and dancing were already ready.

The musicians played the drums and flutes, and a hundred dancers were already dressed up. They wore red foreheads, white crotchless clothes, green shirts, brocade belts wrapped around half of their arms, leaving their shoulders exposed. They were wearing fresh clothes and beautiful makeup, and they were extremely beautiful.

Today I sing a song from Jiangnan...

"Sage, your right minister has arrived."

"Call."

Li Longji's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he stopped singing and dancing, and asked the concubines to go away, sitting alone and listening to Gao Lishi telling what was new today.

After a while, Li Linfu arrived.

"I would like to wish the saint a happy spring."

When he saw the ceremony today, he didn't see the smile on Li Longji's face, and his attitude was indifferent.

"The right prime minister has been meeting frequently in recent days. Have the state affairs been properly handled?"

"I am guilty." Li Linfu immediately panicked, "I was negligent..."

He took a peek and saw Gong'e coming over with a jade plate and placing it in front of Li Longji. He recognized two dishes at a glance, fish wrapped in cumin and mutton, and breasts made from the same heart.

The fish-wrapped mutton is Fengweilou’s latest dish. It uses small crucian carp, beheaded and tailed, internal organs removed, fish bones removed, and grilled with cumin. The mutton is fried in an iron pan and rolled into the fish maw... There are only rumors among the public.

Unexpectedly, the saint had already eaten it.

It can be seen that Xue Bai's holy love is too strong.

"I did instruct the king to strictly examine the Chun Wei Juzi and deposed many commoner Juzi. As a result, people were dissatisfied, the government and the public were boiling, and chaos broke out in Chang'an recently, but I did not deal with it well."

Li Longji coolly picked up a piece of fish-wrapped mutton and ate it. Although he did not get angry, he continued to dry Li Linfu.

"In order to quell the matter, I framed Xue Bai, Yuan Jie and others and took them to the Dali Temple Prison. Then the "Five Sons of Chunwei" took the crowd to make trouble. I couldn't suppress it, so I asked Wang Xian for a reexamination to calm the situation."

"As the prime minister, I failed to handle government affairs well and shared the worries of the saint. Instead, I caused chaos in the capital, caused people to complain about the saint, and gave an opportunity to those who wanted to sell my name. I am guilty, and my crime is extremely evil."

Li Longji asked calmly: "Tell me who this 'careful person' is."

Li Linfu planned to throw the brick of Xue Bai first and bring out the jade of the East Palace. Then he opened his mouth and suddenly thought of the painting of Fengwei Tower.

If a saint had seen that painting, he might have thought that he was avenging his personal revenge, and he had to do what he said.

Instead of naming the most beloved grandson Li Chu, Xue Bai, who plays cards in the palace these days, it would be better to directly name the East Palace, which would be more straightforward.

"Today, people are flocking to the Yushitai to ask for explanations. It seems that King Guangping and the Five Sons are taking the lead, but in fact these young people are impulsive and can easily be taken advantage of. I am afraid there is someone behind this matter... Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to be the prime minister."

At the end of his words, Li Linfu became more solemn and his voice became gloomy.

"Wei Jian's case has been investigated for five years to six years from Tianbao. The progress has been slow, but it has touched the crown prince's rebellion. Now he is using a few young people and a group of angry traitors to attack me. The prince is also a king,

There is a difference between the king and his ministers, but the ministers are incompetent..."

Li Longji scolded: "Brother slave! You are so brave!"

Li Linfu was frightened and begged for mercy: "I know that I am guilty, but I have no talent and I should not be the prime minister. The hole Wei Jian dug is too big, I can't stop it anymore..."

"Enough!"

For a moment, Li Longji's eyes sparkled, and he was finally angered.

Previously, Li Linfu admitted to manipulating the imperial examinations, suppressing all living beings, and even deceiving the emperor with the "unparalleled virtuous", but he acted as if he had not heard it, and did not even ask why. Instead, he was angered by these last two sentences.

Because the sentence "There are many people in the grassland and the people in the grassland are afraid of leaking the opportunity at that time", this is basically doing things for the emperor.

Wei Jian increased the rent for three years and dredged the canals so that the taxes and tributes from Jianghuai and Shandong could reach Chang'an. Could it be that they were sent to Li Linfu's house? The Youxiang's Mansion occupies less than a quarter of a square.

1. How much stuff can it hold?

A palace is built on the Chan River, a wharf is built in the Guangyun Lake, boats are sailing under Wangchun Tower, and the world's treasures are sent directly to this forbidden garden!

Brocades, mirrors, bronzes, and seafood from Guangling; Jingkou silk shirts from Danyang; Guanduan silk embroidery from Jinling; Luo, Wu silk, and silk yarn from Kuaiji; tortoise shells, pearls, ivory, and agarwood from the South China Sea; the name of Yuzhang

Porcelain, wine vessels, tea vessels; empty bluestones, paper and pens, coptis from Xuancheng; banana kudzu, anaconda gallbladder, jadeite from Shi'an; glutinous rice from Wujun, abbot's silk...

All the treasures from dozens of counties in the Tang Dynasty were given to one person to enjoy. Who spent the tens of millions of dollars as a gift?!

Li Linfu worked hard to control the examination room and deposed the people in the grassroots. For whom? This was not done well, which made all living beings dissatisfied with the saint. He was wrong. So he got rid of those who complained and held a reexamination. For whom?

Jin Jin Ye Ye, after finally trying to calm down the situation, there are still people spreading blood in front of everyone? How can the emperor be embarrassed?!

"Your Majesty, I am so incompetent!"

Li Linfu prostrated himself on the ground and cried: "I have betrayed your Majesty's kindness and cannot be chosen as the Prime Minister. Your Majesty, please choose another virtuous one..."

"stand up."

Li Longji's anger was not directed at him. He calmed down and helped Li Linfu up with his own hands.

He knew that although there were many officials in the world, it was hard to find anyone who could do things as dedicatedly as Li Linfu.

After all, this is the second time an oversight has been made after the Yang Shenjin case, so it can be forgiven.

"Does the Prime Minister know where he went wrong?"

"I am ignorant, please give me some advice, Your Majesty."

"The prime minister, the head of the civil service, is responsible for handling state affairs for me, so why do you always come to me to cry and complain? You are neither Jia Douji nor Xue Dacardi."

After saying this, Li Longji laughed heartily and patted Li Linfu on the shoulder.

Li Linfu was so moved that he wiped his tears and thanked him repeatedly.



But no matter how affectionate the monarch and his ministers were, Li Linfu did not do any good this time and left the trouble to the saint again.

Li Longji had to deal with the matter personally.

As the emperor, he cannot be as unscrupulous as Li Linfu and must give an explanation to his subjects.

"deliver an imperial order."

There was no need to invite ministers to discuss, Li Longji had already made a decision in a moment.

"According to the report of King Zhun, we will review the examination. Li Chu will be banned for half a year, and he will not be allowed to leave the Baisun Courtyard without an edict. He will summon Xue Bai to see him, and I will personally examine the complaints of the people of Jianghuai..."

The musicians and dancers on the stage and dance pavilion have been waiting for a long time. Yang Yuhuan and Zhang Yunrong were talking about interesting things and ran over here with smiles, just when they heard Li Longji's instructions.

"The saint summoned little Xue Bai, are we going to play dominoes again tonight? Okay, I will send someone to summon the third sister."

When Gao Lishi heard the concubine's words, he felt as if he was listening to the sound of an immortal. He stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the saint's decision.

If Xue Bai is invited instead of setting up the card table tonight, the saint will probably kill someone to vent his anger after questioning him. The East Palace will also be in danger, the throne will be changed, and the country will be shaken. If the saint can not kill Xue Bai, the situation may turn around.

In one thought, there was a huge difference between tyranny and neglect. Gao Lishi waited with bated breath.

Li Longji looked angry and shook his head slightly, but finally rubbed his palms.
