Chapter 267: The Traitor's Helplessness
Li An ate and drank in the Zuo Xiang's Mansion, accompanied Li Shizhi to chat about some topics of mutual interest, the scene was very warm and warm, Li Shizhi strongly asked Li An to stay overnight, so that early the next morning, they could set off together to the Xin'an Palace, however, Li An was worried about Yan Ruyu at home, and used this as an excuse to politely decline.

"Haha! It's the six Ah Weng who is confused, you have just gotten married, so naturally you want to accompany your wife more, go back! Let's go back! Remember to come to my house tomorrow to meet. ”
Of course, Li Shizhi would not do anything to beat mandarin ducks, and after Li An reminded him of this, he immediately let Li An leave, he was a person from the past, so he naturally understood Li An's thoughts.
"Liu'a Weng rests early, and his grandson retires."
Li An saluted respectfully, turned around and left Li Shizhi's mansion, and rode back to Dayefang.
"This kid is much more anxious than when I was younger, and he dares to say such shy words in front of his elders, he is really not an ordinary junior!"
After Ang Lee left, Li Shizhi sighed and laughed, he felt even more that Ang Lee was a lover, daring to say anything and doing anything.
Li An had a token with him, so naturally no one dared to stop him, and he quickly returned to Daye Fang smoothly and went straight to his mansion.
Without exception, Zhao Liu's housekeeper was still waiting at the gate, and when he saw Li An coming back, he stepped forward to lead the horse with a happy face, and waited for Li An to return to the house, while the maid Li Xiaoyin did not sleep, and was waiting for Li An with a bowl of sobering soup.
These two seem to have formed a habit, as long as they do not return home, they will wait until they come back, as a servant, it is rare to have this heart.
Li An really wanted to tell these two that when he came back late in the future, they didn't have to wait in person every time, but he knew that these two people had formed a habit, especially Zhao Liu, who said it in vain, fortunately, the task of these slaves was to serve themselves, and there was nothing important to do, and it was the same if they slept more or less.
After taking a sip of the sobering soup, Li An asked the two to go back to the room to rest, and walked straight to the main house, he knew that Yan Ruyu must be reading in the house at this moment, waiting for his return.
Yan Ruyu has a characteristic, whenever she is empty and lonely, she always finds a few books, sits down and reads them calmly, as if as long as her mind enters the book, she will forget all her troubles.
Ang Lee often thinks that Yan Ruyu is the elf in the book, her soul is the book, as long as she reads the book, she can find herself, so she loves to read books very much.
Sure enough, on the window paper of the main house, Yan Ruyu's beautiful figure and the book she held in her hand were reflected.
Every time he comes back late, Ang Lee can always see the beautiful scene on the window paper, and he always looks at it as much as possible, this unique beauty makes Ang Lee very comfortable, as if the original impetuous heart settled down in an instant.
After learning that she was back, Yan Ruyu would always put down the book in her hand as soon as possible, and the soft action of gently putting down the book looked like a cultivated woman, without the slightest panic and urgency, she was always so decent and demure, which made people fascinated.
Of course, the favor promised during the day is to be fulfilled, what Li Ang said always counts, after listening to some caring and moving words, Li Ang held Yan Ruyu in his arms, and pampered him beautifully, even if he had something to do early the next morning, he couldn't stop Li Ang from pampering his wife, who made Li Ang young?
This night, Ang Li had a beautiful life, with the gentle and delicate Yan Ruyu in his arms, and the feeling still needs to be elaborated, but some people haven't slept well all night.
This person is Li Linfu, the right minister, who sat in the moon hall of the mansion all night, holding his chin with his right hand, and fell into deep thought.
A few years ago, when Niu Xianke was the left minister, he was obedient to him, and he could keep pace with him in many major affairs of the imperial court, which made him very satisfied.
But since Niu Xianke was seriously ill, Li Longji promoted Li Shizhi to the left minister, this Li Shizhi has some talents, always makes his own opinions, and opposes him in many major matters, which brings him a lot of trouble, and also makes people's prestige suffer a great blow, which deepens his inner sense of crisis and fear, and he is very afraid of losing power.
You must know that in ancient officialdom, losing power often meant losing one's life, and even affecting the entire family, and the consequences were quite serious.
And Li Linfu has done a lot of illegal things in order to maintain his status, and he has offended many people, there are still a lot of enemies, his current status is still in full swing, of course he can protect himself and his family, but once he loses power, these enemies may pounce together and tear him to pieces, so Li Linfu has no way out.
Since he chose to be a favored minister, he can only go to the dark on one road, and there is absolutely no way out, which also inspires Li Linfu to do his best to maintain his position, of course, he has offended more and more people, and there are more and more enemies, this is a dead end, Li Linfu is destined to do his best to maintain his position, so that he will not fall.
Later generations imagined Li Linfu very powerfully, as if he could frame the ministers who opposed him to death as long as he moved his mouth, but no one understood how many sleepless nights Li Linfu had stayed up and burned how many brain cells he had in the moon hall of his mansion in order to frame these opponents.
This is like a singer in later generations, who can easily get an income of one million yuan by singing a few songs, which is really envious, jealous and hateful, but who has ever thought about how many cold and summer these singers have practiced and how much suffering they have suffered in order to sing.
Li Linfu's framing has indeed succeeded again and again, but the energy he has put in is also very large, before framing an opponent, he must consider all aspects of the situation, any small detail is not well considered, it may lead to the failure of the framing, and even backfire on himself.
Fully understanding the emperor, fully understanding the opponent, fully understanding oneself, these three fullness is very necessary, Li Linfu has these three full understanding, in order to know himself and the enemy, in order to make himself invincible.
For himself, Li Linfu naturally knows better than anyone else, and he also knows everything about the emperor, and constantly speculates on the emperor's mind according to the emperor's various behaviors.
And in order to deal with Li Shizhi, he even sent people to closely monitor Li Shizhi's words and deeds, and who he had contacted, in order to understand the whole situation of Li Shizhi, so that he could find a reason for framing.
However, Li Shiyi is not corrupt, the other is not lustful, he usually does not have much contact with the ministers, and he is very capable, so it is not easy to frame.
Of course, the reason why Li Linfu can frame so many people is that he naturally has two brushes, he believes that as long as it is an individual, there will always be weaknesses, and no one will be an exception, after a few months of observation, he finally found that Li Shizhi is a drunkard and likes to drink with ministers, and he is still drunk like mud, which is not a big mistake, but it is enough to take advantage of.
In addition, Li Shizhi is politically inclined to support the crown prince, which can also be used, and another point is that when expressing his views on major policies, he always considers the national economy and people's livelihood first, and does not consider the feelings of Emperor Li Longji.
These three points are not a big deal, but together they are enough to alienate Li Shizhi, and as long as Li Shizhi is alienated, his sense of crisis can be temporarily lifted, and then he can further look for opportunities to frame Li Shizhi, demote him to the state assassin history, and finally, find a reason to frame him to death.
This can be regarded as a three-step strategy, the first step is to find a way to alienate the emperor from Li Shizhi and avoid Li Shizhi from being further favored, the second step is to frame Li Shizhi and demote him to the history of the state assassin, so as to stay away from the political center of the Tang Dynasty and get out of the emperor's sight, and the third step is to find an opportunity to get rid of Li Shizhi, a thorn in the side of the remote state and county.
For this three-step strategy, Li Linfu has stayed up all night for a few hours, and the idea is there, but he must carefully consider the specific details of the implementation of this idea, and there must be no flaw, so as not to steal chickens and rice.
In the early morning of this night, Li Linfu finally changed his depression, walked out of the moon hall with a relaxed face, and slept well in the early morning.
"Husband, why did you get up so early, where are you going?"
Seeing that Li An was in a hurry to get up, instead of stroking his body crookedly, Yan Ruyu felt curious in her heart and hurriedly asked.
Li An stroked Yan Ruyu's pink face and quipped: "Yesterday in the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, I saw a beautiful maidservant, as beautiful as my wife. ”
"Oh, are you in a hurry to meet that beautiful maid?"
"Yes! Madame was upset. ”
"How can it be, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, if the husband is satisfied, he will marry back and be a concubine! In this way, Ruyu is also accompanied by many people. ”
Yan Ruyu said quietly.
Li An's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Yan Ruyu in front of him incredulously, sighing at the open-mindedness of ancient women, who could actually tolerate such a thing, if it was in the future life, he would not immediately chop his father-in-law alive, and even took a knife and ran to the Zuo Xiangfu to cut Xiaosan.
On the Internet in later generations, there were a lot of incidents of the original partner beating the junior, although Ang Lee felt that it was all the man's fault, but the violent atmosphere of the original partner was also quite scary, at least, it was difficult for Ang Lee to imagine Yan Ruyu using a knife to find someone desperately.
"Husband, what's wrong with you, do you still want to divorce me and let her be a wife."
Yan Ruyu said, a trace of displeasure welled up in her eyes, and she even had a feeling of crying.
Li An hurriedly explained: "Madam, the husband was just a joke, there is no beautiful maid at all, this is all made up for the husband to tease the lady, I didn't expect the lady to be so generous, it was too surprising for the husband." ”
"Generous, what's so generous, the husband is not an ordinary person, three wives and four concubines are inevitable in the future, Ruyu just hopes that the husband will not marry a fierce woman, and marry a quiet and elegant kind woman, so, Ruyu will be satisfied."
Yan Ruyu said sincerely, not showing the slightest hypocrisy.
"A kind woman who is demure and elegant? Madam, is Cao'er a kind girl who is quiet and elegant? ”
Li An raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.
Yan Ruyu smiled, pinched Li An's arm, and said angrily: "Husband honestly, when did you start the idea of grass, before I got married, or ......"
Of course, Li An won't tell the truth, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's that day when I played cards in the carriage, whoever lost would be beaten on the butt, and then the husband felt that Cao'er's ass was soft and elastic, so ......"
"So, my husband started the idea of grass."
Yan Ruyu's eyes were hiding a smile, in her eyes Cao'er was still a child, she couldn't imagine how Ang Lee should pamper a child, how funny this picture should be, of course, it was also cruel.
"Ma'am, you smiled."
"No, I'm not laughing."
"No, you laughed, you really laughed."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Li An, pouted and said, "Husband, Cao'er is still young, and she can't stand her husband's favor, can you wait a few years and wait for Cao'er to grow up a little bit......
"What Mrs. said is, then raise it for two more years, and within these two years, the husband will give all the favor to Mrs., so that Mrs. can enjoy the feeling of being pampered by thousands of people."
"I hate it, my husband really hates it."
Yan Ruyu smiled shyly.
Li An also had to go to visit Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and didn't dare to toss with Yan Ruyu for too long, so after biting Yan Ruyu hard, he got dressed and strode away.
The housekeeper Zhao Liuzheng instructed the servants to transport the prepared rocking chair to Dongshi, and when he saw Li An coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Ah Lang, where are you going so early?"
"Go to Zuo Xiang's mansion first, and then go with Zuo Xiang to visit King Xin'an, by the way, Zhao Liu, immediately prepare bean sprouts and woad vegetables for me, and also, bring the wheelchair that has just been made in the big backyard, these gifts will be given to King Xin'an."
Since he is going to visit Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, he naturally has to prepare some gifts, and Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, is seriously ill, and there is no gift more suitable than a wheelchair, as for the bean sprouts and woad vegetables, they are just foils.
These items can be loaded in one cart, and after they are ready, Li An rode a tall horse and left the mansion with four male servants with a trolley cart, Li An rode to the Zuo Xiang's mansion, and let the four male servants push the cart straight to the palace of Xin'an.
Li Shizhi is old, he doesn't need much sleep, he got up much earlier than Li An, after breakfast, he sat in the main hall and waited for Li An's arrival, and after waiting for Li An, he rode to Xin'an Wangfu with Li An. (To be continued.) )
