The news that Li Linfu was about to enter the soil soon spread to the palace, and like many ministers who were worried about the country and the people, the emperor's mood was also complicated, and the reasons for his complicated mood were naturally many.

On the one hand, although he knew that Li Linfu was not a good person, he often slandered other ministers, and he was an out-and-out traitor, but if it weren't for this traitor who could carry things, Li Longji would not have lived so easily all the time, and maybe he would have died of exhaustion because of his work on state affairs.

At this moment, Li Linfu's serious illness is also related to long-term fatigue, it is his hard work in exchange for the emperor's ease, he has done a lot of things that should have been done by the emperor, greatly reducing the burden of the emperor, so that the emperor can be old and maintain a healthy body, for this, Li Longji has always recognized, so, even if he knew that Li Linfu was a traitor, he never treated him, but always pampered Li Linfu, so that Li Linfu could better share state affairs for him, and Li Linfu's death, It will leave him with one less person to share the affairs of the state.

On the other hand, although Li Longji knew that Li Linfu was a big traitor, he still recognized his ability, and many complicated and trivial government affairs were handed over to him, and they were often handled in an orderly manner, while if they were handed over to other ministers, they were not handled as well as Li Linfu, and even came over to annoy him from time to time.

And Li Linfu will handle all things properly, and generally will not trouble the emperor, because he can guess the emperor's mind and know how to deal with these government affairs to satisfy the emperor, and always run to ask the emperor, it is too inefficient, and many times, even if the emperor has some kind of thought, he can't say it, it depends on the courtiers to observe the words and feelings, to understand the emperor's intentions, and then directly do things that satisfy the emperor.

"Brother Nu has followed me all my life, and the prime minister alone has been the prime minister for twenty years, and now there are only one or two days left, sad, lamentable!"

After listening to the eunuch's report, Li Longji sighed, and casually picked up the Datang newspaper beside him.

He is now old and frail, and after Li Linfu's death, he must let a minister again to help him handle government affairs, and he has already prepared for this successor, but the ability of this successor is very average, which makes people very uneasy.

This successor who can succeed Li Linfu is naturally Yang Guozhong, who he has always fancied, and he has already thought about letting Yang Guozhong replace Li Linfu and be the head of the Tang Dynasty's ministers.

But recently, Yang Guozhong's family has always had frequent accidents, which have dealt a big blow to the reputation of this successor, which makes him very upset.

If Yang Guozhong is publicly promoted to the head of the prime minister at this time, it will inevitably cause an uproar in public opinion, and even attract public opposition from many people, so that the emperor has to be afraid.

But if Yang Guozhong is not elected as the head of the prime minister, among the remaining ministers, none of them can make the emperor very satisfied, after all, the core requirement of the emperor is that this minister must be loyal and diligent enough, and be able to handle most of the government according to his own wishes, and the too upright minister will definitely not be able to fully meet his own needs, which is the main reason why he has been handing over the government to the traitor Li Linfu.

As soon as he thought that there was no minister who was particularly satisfied with him to handle the government affairs for himself, Li Longji's head was big for a while, and he felt that the whole person was not good.

Dusk soon came, and Li Longji, who was full of feelings, walked out of the main hall, stood on the platform outside the open hall, and looked at the sunset that was gradually falling.

The sunset is infinitely good, but it is nearly dusk, although all you see in front of you are beautiful, but such a beautiful scenery is destined to not last long, the time that the sunset can exist is very limited, and soon, the golden sunset will gradually dim until it disappears completely, plunging the earth into darkness.

After the winter, the weather became colder and colder, a breeze blew, Li Longji felt the biting cold, and in this cold season, Li Linfu, who had accompanied him for most of his life, was about to return to the west, and how many more springs and autumns could he live?

At this moment, more than a dozen birds flew overhead and disappeared into the distance.

"It's getting dark, and the birds are going home."

Li Longji opened his mouth and sighed.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house!"

Colliers spoke.

Just now, when Li Longji lamented the government affairs, Gao Lishi didn't say anything, and at this moment, he spoke, after all, he knew very well that he was just a slave, and caring for and taking care of the emperor was the right thing, and for the government and politics, he couldn't ask if he could, he didn't dare to interfere with the emperor's ideas, and he wouldn't make any suggestions.

It is precisely because of his duty that Gao Lishi can always be favored by the emperor and has always been the most favored one among the eunuchs.

"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the sunset, and it's worth it to blow a little more cold wind."

Li Longji wears a very thick one, in fact, even if the cold wind blows in the wind, he will not catch a cold, so there is no need to worry about this.

Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji would not go back, so it was difficult to continue to persuade him, so he made a color and asked the little eunuch next to him to get a warm cloak.

This is also his cleverness, which is not only obedient to the emperor's wishes, but at the same time, he thinks about the emperor everywhere.

Of course, Colliers also has a temper, he is amiable most of the time, but if someone deliberately embarrasses him, he will inevitably retaliate.

And the only big man recorded in the history books who was retaliated against by Gao Lishi is Li Bai and Li Dacaizi, the editors of the current Datang Daily.

To say that with the cultural level of Li Bai and Li Dacaizi, it is not difficult to be a middle-level official of four or five grades, but because of his temperament, he is too dissolute and uninhibited, and never bends his waist to the powerful, so he offended Gao Lishi, who has always been kind.

At that time, the great poet Li Bai was drinking in the palace and got drunk all of a sudden, and after getting drunk, Li An exposed his bohemian personality, he actually stretched out his foot very boldly and asked Gao Lishi, who was sitting next to him, to take off his boots for him.

Because there were many people at the table at that time, Gao Lishi was a little overwhelmed, so he had to take off his boots for Li Bai, Gao Lishi had a lot of power at that time, except for the emperor, no one could treat him like this, none of the civil and military officials dared to offend Gao Lishi easily, and he had never been insulted like this, so he was naturally quite annoyed in his heart, just waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Li Bai?

Not to mention the power-leaning backyard manager like Gao Lishi, even ordinary people will be very angry when they encounter such a thing, and it is natural to seek revenge, so Li Bai can only be blamed for being too bohemian and uninhibited, not knowing how to respect people, and no wonder others seeking revenge.

Gao Lishi never participated in court politics, even if he retaliated against Li Bai, he would not use the power of the court, otherwise once he was convicted, it would be interfering in court politics, which would violate his principles of life, and the way he chose to retaliate was to use Yang Guifei to kill people with a knife, which easily blocked Li Bai's career path.

At that time, Li Bai wrote a poem praising Yang Guifei's Qingping tune, a branch of red dew incense, Yunyu Wushan broke his intestines in vain, by asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup, which means that the concubine is really a peony with dew, gorgeous incense, the king of Chu and the goddess and the witch mountain meet, and it is also in vain to be sad and broken, please ask the concubine who is favored by the Han Palace, who can be similar to her, the lovely Zhao Feiyan has to rely on new makeup.

Yang Guifei naturally liked this poem very much, and felt that Li Bai depicted his peerless face vividly, but Gao Lishi told Yang Guifei next to him, pointing out that the metaphor of this poem was inappropriate, he pointed out that Zhao Feiyan of the Han Dynasty court was born as a singer, far inferior to Yang Yuhuan's background, in addition, although Zhao Feiyan was compared to the queen, but the style was not correct, and finally was demoted to a concubine, comparing Yang Yuhuan with Zhao Feiyan, that is, Yang Yuhuan looked too lightly, Yang Yuhuan thought about it carefully, it was really this truth, so, began to hate Li Bai, and even, when the emperor wanted to appoint Li Bai as an official, he was stopped by her.

In the eyes of later generations, Gao Lishi's revenge on Li Bai seems to be a bit unrighteous and a bad person, so that Li Bai, a great talent, failed to serve the Tang Dynasty in the officialdom, but in Li An's view, a person who writes poems well may not necessarily be good as an official, Li Bai is arrogant and arrogant, too bohemian, and can't even do the most basic respect for people, even if he really goes to the officialdom, it is difficult to find a way out for promotion.

It's just that in all the ancient dynasties in history, if a scholar does not become an official, there is no way out, and even it is quite difficult to support himself, and he needs to let relatives and friends help him everywhere, in short, life will be very embarrassing.

But after Li An came to Datang, the situation was different, especially since the opening of Datang Daily, as long as there are literate readers, they can publish poems in Datang Daily, so as to earn a certain manuscript fee, and even, good level literati can also go to Datang Daily Yamen to be editors, for example, Mr. Du Fu became the editor-in-chief, Li Bai couldn't stand the stinky rules of the Yamen, and he chose the lowest style editor, writing while traveling, earning money and having fun, which can be described as a happy life.

Li Bai is naturally clear about Gao Lishi's frame-husbandry, he knows Princess Yuzhen and learned about it from her, however, he is broad-minded and does not resent Gao Lishi, he only regrets that he ate too much wine and food in the palace, and he was drunk for a while and did something to offend people.

However, it was also because of this incident that Li Bai completely gave up his career path, and boldly threw himself into the arms of Datang Daily with confidence and became a freelance style editor.

After doing a period of time as a style editor, Li Bai found that this job was the most suitable for him, so that he would not resent Gao Lishi, but still had the idea of being grateful to Gao Lishi, after all, if it wasn't for Gao Lishi's obstruction, maybe he would have to enter a certain yamen of the imperial court to work, how can those boring and tiring days be compared with Cai Feng editor.

Gao Lishi took the cloak in the hands of the little eunuch and personally put it on Li Longji, for so many years, he has been taking care of the emperor wholeheartedly, his loyalty is not doubtful, everyone in the world, he may be framed, but he will not harm the emperor.

"Old, we're all old, my brother is leaving, I don't know how long we have left?"

Li Longji suddenly expressed his feelings.

"Your Majesty is not old, not old at all, will the days to come be long?"

Gao Lishi hurriedly explained.

In fact, he also knows very well in his heart, they are all old, how can anyone not age, if they are always young, then they will not become monsters, but Li Longji's state is not bad, it should not be a problem to live for more than ten years, in addition, his own body is not bad, it is estimated that it will be easy to last for more than ten years.

The reason for Li Longji's longevity, one is that he has a better physique, and the other reason is that because he likes to maintain health, he handed over a lot of the imperial court to Li Linfu, and even Gao Lishi also shared a lot, so he doesn't have to work too hard, and his natural health is better, even if he is a concubine, he is also a concubine, and he will not be tired.

And Gao Lishi is a eunuch, usually serving the emperor, no one can give him anger, he lives more smoothly, in addition, because he has been purified, so there will be no love between men and women, and naturally he will not be tired.

Compared with the two of them, Li Linfu deals with so many government affairs all day long, and he has to think about how to frame others in order to keep his position, so how can he not be tired, and it is natural for him to die early.

Although Li Linfu's imminent death is major news, after all, he has not yet lost his breath, so Datang Daily cannot report it immediately, this kind of thing cannot be said in advance, anything can be said in advance, but only this kind of thing cannot be said in advance.

Therefore, the headline of the Datang News early in the morning of the second day was still a eulogy written by Du Fu, mourning Liu Dasha, and there was no news about Li Linfu.

However, not long after the newspaper was distributed, news came that Li Linfu had lost his breath, and the government had begun to prepare for the future, and this could only become the headline of Datang Daily tomorrow.

Although the influence of the headlines is very great, the influence of public opinion spread by the people is also very great, and the headlines of Datang Daily immediately became a topic of discussion among everyone, but at the same time, the news of Li Linfu's death quickly spread in the Datang community, and almost all the people of Datang knew about it.

For the death of Li Linfu, the vast majority of the people in the capital celebrated with their foreheads, and felt that this was a thing worth celebrating, and it was a very happy thing, but when they thought of the possible successor, everyone's mood was not so good, after all, the heir everyone predicted was also a big traitor, and it was strange that this mood could be good.

As for the heir to this prediction, almost all discerning people can see that it will definitely be Yang Guozhong, the cousin of the concubine.
