Tibet

Chapter 206 The Way of Redemption

The emperor asked Li Ye to set off the day after tomorrow, which meant that Li Ye could not play the last game for Gao Lishi.

Li Ye immediately found Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi invited Li Ye to the inner hall.

After a while, Gao Lishi said slowly: "Your grandfather told you! About Ge Luolu and Xuebu."

Li Ye nodded and said: "Grandfather said that Ge Luolu and Xue Bu jointly exchanged 300 million sheep for me. The emperor gave grandfather face and asked me to hide in the Western Regions."

Gao Lishi smiled faintly, "Your grandfather no longer has the former status in the heart of the emperor. In fact, I was the one who persuaded the emperor to let you go to the Western Regions. The 300 million sheep are worth millions. The money is touching!"

Li Ye narrowed his eyes, "Does the emperor also want to hand me over for a sheep?"

Gao Lishi still shook his head, "The majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not like this. It is someone else, an important minister who holds financial power. Guess who it is?"

"Yang Guozhong!"

Gao Lishi nodded, "He has persuaded the emperor twice, and I am worried that Mrs. Guo Guo will also start to persuade the emperor."

Speaking of this, Gao Lishi lowered his voice and said: "The Son of Heaven has always been unable to withstand her pillow wind, so you must leave Chang'an today, and you can't wait until the day after tomorrow!"

Li Ye was moved, and nodded silently, "It's a pity that I can't compete for the top spot for Gao Weng!"

Gao Lishi laughed, "Winning Tiankui this year, but failing to make it to the top ten competition next year, it would be a shame. I am satisfied with being No.3."

Gao Lishi took [-] cash drawer tickets and handed them to Li Ye, "This is for you, you deserve it, accept it!"

Li Ye accepted the money and nodded, "Gao Weng's protection of the junior, the junior will always remember it in his heart."

Gao Lishi smiled slightly and said: "Actually, Feilong persuaded me to bet on you. He can arrange himself to emerge in Wutingchuan, which proves that he is not a mortal. I have always believed in his words. I hope you will not let me down."

Li Ye put the Baoshou card on the table, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. The younger generation will bid farewell!"

Gao Lishi stared blankly at the Baoshou card on the table, and sighed softly: "This child has decided to rely on himself!"

After leaving Gao Lishi's mansion, Li Ye returned to the Anranju Restaurant in Guangzhaifang, where his grandfather Li Linfu was still waiting for him.

"What did Gao Lishi say?" Li Linfu asked anxiously.

Li Ye hesitated and said: "Gao Lishi said that the emperor doesn't care much about his grandfather's face anymore. It was he who persuaded the emperor repeatedly that the emperor agreed to let me go to the Western Regions, and Gao Lishi asked me to leave today. Once Mrs. Guoguo blows the pillow If there is a side wind, the emperor will change his mind."

Li Linfu walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his back, looking very lonely. He still thought too highly of himself. It turned out that he had no place in the emperor's heart, and he thought things too simply. Although the emperor would not want this A bounty, but the Yang family wants it!
"Gao Lishi is right, you leave today!"

Li Ye asked in a low voice: "Did grandfather be taken away by the Yang family?"

Li Linfu nodded, "I underestimated the emperor. Yang Guozhong became the deputy prime minister and immediately got the ruling pen. The emperor revised the rules and changed the period of the ruling pen to be changed every year. Yang Guozhong got the real power of the prime minister.

Although I still have the right to appoint officials of the fifth rank or above, the appointment must be discussed and approved by the Political Affairs Hall before the appointment can be implemented. As a result, the right to appoint has become the right to recommend.

Chen Xilie has already joined the Yang family, Wei Jiansu is the prince's spokesperson in the political affairs hall, Zhang Jun remains neutral and abstains every time, once the political affairs hall fails, it is up to the emperor to decide, in fact, the right to appoint officials above the fifth rank is also The emperor has it in his hands. This is the genius of the emperor. He used the Yang family to get the power he wanted. "

Speaking of this, Li Linfu let out a long sigh, "You are right, I have actually been excluded by Yang Guozhong."

Li Ye pondered and remained silent. He remembered that in history, Li Linfu was dismissed because of his involvement in the rebellion case of Wang Gong's younger brother. It is estimated that the case was set up by the Yang family.

Not long after he was dismissed as Prime Minister, Li Linfu's health began to deteriorate rapidly, and he died of illness within a year.

Wang Gong's case was the beginning of the downfall of Li Linfu and the liquidation of the Li family. If I guessed correctly, the time should be next year, but I probably won't be able to come back next year.

Thinking that his mother would be exiled in Yunnan, Li Ye felt as if a big stone was on his heart. No matter what, he must save the Li family and save his mother from encountering disaster.

"Grandfather, Feilong told me one thing, which is related to grandfather's fate."

"what's up?"

Li Linfu turned to look at Li Ye.

"Feilong said that he had calculated the secrets of heaven, and that grandfather will have a catastrophe next year."

"What robbery?"

Li Linfu became a little nervous. He also knew that Feilong was not an ordinary person. Even Gao Lishi believed in Feilong's prophecy so much.

"Feilong said that this catastrophe is related to Wang Gong. It may be that Wang Gong will have a big accident, and then grandpa will be implicated!"

Li Linfu was startled. Wang Gong was his ally. If Yang Guozhong attacked him, he would definitely get rid of Wang Gong first. Wang Gong would indeed be prone to accidents next year.

"Did the flying dragon say how to solve this calamity?"

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Feilong said a word, he said 'There is no cure for trouble, it is easy to save trouble'."

This sentence means that it is much easier to eradicate the root cause of future troubles than to save them after disasters have occurred.

Li Linfu frowned and said, "Did he really say that?"

Li Ye wrote a note and handed it to Li Linfu. Li Linfu looked at it and burned the note.

After pondering for a long time, Li Linfu said slowly: "But I will lose a lot by doing this!"

"Grandfather, if you don't stop, there will be future troubles!"

Li Linfu was also a ruthless person. He knew that his grandson's strategy was right. Li Linfu finally nodded and said, "Wang Gong's father is Wang Xian, and he lives in Hedong County, Puzhou."

Li Linfu immediately wrote an address and gave it to Li Ye.

It has been a while since Yang Guozhong returned to Chang'an. After nearly a year of precipitation in Yizhou, Yang Guozhong is much calmer than last year, and the emperor Li Longji finally took a fancy to him, and transferred him back to Chang'an as the prime minister again, preparing for the final change of prince. .

If Yang Guozhong was still a local dog last year, clumsy and incompetent, but now Yang Guozhong has evolved into a hyena, ferocious and cunning, good at catching the weak points behind the enemy.

Let Yang Guozhong rule the country, he doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't have that kind of thought. He is thinking about how to bring down Li Linfu every day.

Yang Guozhong now writes for the ruling affairs, and the memorials from all over the country will come to him, and then he will give a direct reply. For more important government affairs, he usually bypasses Li Linfu and directly discusses with Chen Xilie, and then Chen Xilie gives his opinion, whether to submit it to the emperor, Or do we need to discuss it in the political affairs hall.

Of course, Yang Guozhong didn't have the heart to read the memorials every day. He raised two staff members, promoted seven or eight confidant officials, and divided the six Cao Cao, forming his own decision-making circle.

The officials under him were responsible for approving the memorials, and the important memorials were handed over to the staff, who then gave advice to Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong went to Chen Xilie.

In fact, after Yang Guozhong had the power to govern affairs, he had completely emptied the right minister Li Linfu.

About three days ago, Shuofang Jiedu Mansion sent a memorial, which aroused Yang Guozhong's strong attention. It turned out that Ge Luolu and Xue tribe jointly sent envoys to Shuofang, willing to exchange 300 million sheep with the Tang Dynasty. Li Ye.

In addition, the Xue tribe also issued a reward order separately, offering a reward for Li Ye's head to bounty hunters everywhere at the price of [-] sheepskins.

Yang Guozhong's heart skipped a beat, the [-] sheepskins were obviously prepared for himself.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong's eldest son Yang Xuan ran in and said, "Father, Li Ye has escaped!"

"what!"

Yang Guozhong stood up abruptly, "When did it happen?

"It should be this afternoon. Someone saw him leaving the west gate with one of his men, and several horses loaded with luggage."

"Asshole, why didn't you report earlier?"

"The child just found out."

Yang Guozhong took two steps with his hands behind his back, and immediately ordered: "Let Yang Jian come to see me!"

A moment later, a warrior in his thirties walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Please give orders!"

This Yang Jian is Yang Guozhong's false son, one of Yang Guozhong's capable subordinates in Bashu. His original name was Liu Jian. He once became a monk in Qingcheng Mountain as a Taoist priest. , renamed Yang Jian.

Yang Guozhong said to him: "Li Ye must have gone to Anxi through the Hexi Corridor, you lead the warriors to chase him all the way, try to catch him alive, if you can't catch him alive, bring someone else's head to see him!"

"The humble job has never seen him in person!"

Yang Guozhong immediately said to Yang Xuan: "Arrange Xiao Feilong to chase after Yang Jian together, he knows Li Ye!"
