Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 89 Persuasion
Lin Jiulang didn't understand, why did Li Lijun ask such a question?

He didn't think it was taboo for Li Lijun, a clan daughter, to intervene in court affairs.Not to mention that the King of Sui has never been involved in government affairs, but Li Lijun is a little girl, even if she knows about the affairs of the court, what can she do?Besides, she just saved him, even for the sake of kindness, he would not refuse to answer her question.

He just didn't understand what she was asking.Could it be that he wants to defend the Lin family?no need.She has just formed a grudge with the Yang family, if there is a new grudge, there will be too many troubles in the future.How could he bear to see her fall into the mud because of his own affairs?

Li Lijun had no choice but to explain in another way: "Then the Pei family is so domineering, and the Yang family also has many bastards. Naturally, I am not willing to make everything go smoothly for them. If you, Aunt, can become Jiannan Jiedushi, the Yang family and The Pei family will feel depressed, right? You have been kind to me, so I am naturally happy to see your family benefit, so I ask you, you Aunt didn't know that Yang Zhao was very nervous when he wanted to take the position of Jiannan Jiedu envoy. If you are confident that you can win this official position, what do you rely on? Whose connections did your family find? Why doesn’t this connection work now?”

Only then did Lin Jiulang understand what Li Lijun meant, he hesitated for a while, and he just treated it as a small talk, so he told Li Lijun what he knew.

In fact, the answer is very simple, Lin Guogong used to work with Longyou Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan in the past, and the friendship between the two is very good.Not long ago, Ge Shuhan made a great contribution, leading troops to capture Shibao City, and was rewarded by a saint.In addition, he has always been favored by saints, as long as he is willing to recommend his former colleagues as Jiannan Jiedu envoy, Lin Guogong himself has military merits, and the saints are not bad, most saints will agree.

Compared with Lin Guogong and Xianyu Zhongtong, anyone with eyes has no reason to abandon the former for the latter.

Of course, the premise is that the saint's most trusted minister and sisters of the Yang family will not speak out to obstruct him.

Lin Jiulang sighed: "General Ge Shu had already promised to speak for me, A Weng, and he also said that he would trust Li Linfu and ask him to help speak up in front of the saint. With their recommendation, why can't I, A Weng, succeed? It's a pity that the Yang family intervened, and Li Linfu changed his mind and stood by. General Ge Shu is in Longyou, and when he receives the news, it may be too late for him to send a letter to Beijing."

Of course, Lin Guogong still wrote a letter to Ge Shuhan.After all, he entrusted this matter to the other party at the beginning, and he had to explain whether it was successful or not.At least let Ge Shuhan know that it's not that the two of them made a mistake, it's just that Yang Zhao intervened to make things worse.It would be even better if Ge Shuhan felt bad and found another place for him.

It turned out to be the case.

After pondering for a moment, Li Lijun asked again: "Why did Li Xiang change his mind? It's not because he is also afraid of the power of the Yang family, so he backed down by three points, right?" Just kidding, Li Linfu in this period may not have taken Yang Zhao seriously. .

Lin Jiulang expressed depressedly: "My old man can't understand what Li Linfu has done. Although he won't openly offend him after he came to Beijing, he didn't try to curry favor with him. I thought General Geshu's recommendation was enough. Li Linfu is determined to befriend General Geshu again, there is no reason to refuse his request, how could he expect that there will be changes later?"

Li Lijun couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh secretly.This Lin Guogong, who has not been recorded in the history books, is really a head-scratcher!It turns out that apart from the two forces of Shi Siming and Yang Guozhong in Anlu Mountain, he also offended Li Linfu, the prime minister who now holds great power!With the grievances of these three big bosses, can Lin Guogong really live to survive the Anshi Rebellion?

Even for Lin Jiulang, the nominal benefactor, to grow up safely, Li Lijun hoped that Lin Guogong would get the position of Jiannan Jiedu envoy, so he quickly took his family away from Chang'an City, and stopped fighting with those three villains!

She lowered her voice and said to Lin Jiulang: "Since your family asks Li Linfu, even if you don't like it, you have to pretend to be flattering, even if it's just a generous gift! As long as Li Linfu is happy, he won't let the Yang family go." In my eyes, naturally I will not refuse Lin Guogong's request because of concerns about Yang Zhao. It is even more impossible for the Pei family to offend him. In this way, your Aunt is more likely to become the Jiannan Jiedu envoy! Wait for your family to be successful After going to Jiannan Road, do you still need to continue dealing with Li Linfu?!"

Lin Jiulang also lowered his voice: "This truth is so simple, how can our family not understand it?! But I, Aunt, don't want to bow to Li Linfu! General Ge Shu said that he wanted to ask him to help with the matter, but I, Aunt, was still a little unhappy. Well, if you don’t know about it, how can you give him a gift?!”

Li Lijun closed his eyes, deeply feeling that there is really a reason for Lin Guogong to be in this position!

She whispered: "Does General Geshu know what you think? If he knew, why did you ask Li Linfu for help? No matter whether you, Aunt, have flattered Li Linfu or not, as long as Li Linfu speaks in the imperial court, the saint will appoint him as the sword master." Nanjiedu envoy's decree, this favor is destined to be owed. No matter how hard it is for you, Aunt, to straighten your back in front of Li Linfu. You might as well give a big enough gift and treat the matter as a simple one. In the transaction, both the goods and the money are settled, and there will be no debts from now on!"

Lin Jiulang was startled, thoughtful.

Li Lijun sighed: "I know that all of you generals have your own persistence in your heart. But sometimes, you really can't be too brainy in doing things." She looked at Lin Jiulang, "I ask you, you were in that mud pit just now I have been trapped for so long, because I was worried that my family would find out, even if I heard someone calling your name, I didn’t say a word. Have you ever thought about how to get out of trouble if no one knows you are there and you don’t ask for help? You have already Injured, it’s cold at night, and there’s a wild place nearby. Snakes, insects and beasts may appear at any time. Where are you going to escape? If it rains at night and the rainwater fills the mud pit, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. There are so many risks, You still insist on not asking for help, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

Lin Jiulang lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's not that I haven't thought about it... It's impossible for the Pei family to search around Qiaoling for a whole night. After they leave, I can feel free to ask for help. I checked my fourth brother in advance. During patrol time, they will pass by outside the pine forest at night. They ride horses and wear armor, and their voices are different from those of the Pei family. When they come, I will definitely speak.

"My injury is not serious. The skin on my forehead is just broken, and the bleeding has stopped a long time ago. A few bumps on my body are nothing. I took medicine for my sprained hands and feet, and after a while, it will be fine. My family found out that they would really break my legs! In contrast, I would rather stay in the pit for a longer time. As for wild animals, wind and rain...it’s really out of my control.” Come He can only accept his fate.

Hearing that he had considered the consequences of not calling for help, Li Lijun's expression softened, and he said softly: "I don't agree with accepting fate. Even if you encounter difficulties, you must do your best and try every means to overcome them! For example, if you are trapped in a mud pit today, since there is a way to instruct your horse to escape, then naturally there is a way for your horse to report to Uncle Shen or your entourage, even if it is just to let it go back to the gate of the cemetery, it also has a way to bring people to the cemetery. Are you by my side?"

Lin Jiulang was stunned.He is naturally very confident in his beloved horse. He has never done this kind of thing, but it is not impossible.If only he hadn't been preoccupied with driving the horse away.Although he was afraid that the Pei family would kill the horse when they saw it, but no matter how arrogant the Pei family was, they might not have the courage to openly kill the horse in front of the imperial mausoleum...

Li Lijun said: "It can be seen that sometimes you need to be flexible in doing things. Similarly, with Yang Zhao here, it seems that it is difficult for the Jiannan Jiedu envoy to fall into your hands. What about other positions? If the speed is not enough, what about the position of the prefect of Yunnan?"
