Chapter 491 Forbearance
"Aweng, this is my wish. Please accept it."
After the banquet, An Lushan naturally came to Gao Lishi. Since he was humiliated in public by Chen Guang in Chang'an City last year, he has been much more low-key. Later, because of Chen Guang's slander, he only ate one meal a day after returning to Fanyang, and lost 150 kilograms. Now he still looks like he was as honest as the old man, but he is a burly and strong man.
"A Jiedu, our family can't stand this gift, you'd better take it back!"
Although Gao Lishi is greedy for money, he is really not short of money now. Chen Lang's industries have all been counted as his stocks. He does nothing every year, but only earns hundreds of thousands of yuan, not to mention the novel pleasures in Chenyuan, and the well-written dance dramas. Now he really doesn't like the bribery of the officials below, but most of the time, he still works kindly with others and helps if he can.
However, An Lushan in front of him, no matter how valuable the gift he gave was, Gao Lishi was unwilling to get involved. Chen Lang hated this An Jiedushi very much. He didn't want to ruin his friendship with Shen Lang for An Lushan.
"An Jiedushi, our family also needs to serve the saints, please come back!"
Gao Lishi refused to see him off as he spoke, and An Lushan could only refuse to leave. After leaving Huae Tower, he cursed fiercely, "Even this old eunuch dared to humiliate me like this..."
The confidant generals around An Lushan just pretended not to hear it. After returning to Chang'an City, his lord's lord was in a bad mood. He wanted to visit the imperial concubine several times and was turned away. The sage did not summon him to the palace to meet him. This made his lord very anxious in private.
"Lord, that Gao Lishi has a close relationship with Shen Guang, and it will not work if he wants to go his way."
Yuan Zai said from the side that at this time, he was the only one who had the courage to persuade An Lushan who was furious. When he heard his words, An Lushan stopped cursing. He looked at the plotter and said, "Yang Guozhong's mad dog was killed in the court. Those who we are friends with either died or were demoted. If this continues, no one in the court will speak for me, I'm afraid..."
"My lord, don't forget that Li Xiang is still there."
"What's the use of that old guy Li Linfu's life now that he even needs someone to support him when walking?"
An Lushan narrowed his eyes and said, "He was afraid of Li Linfu to death back then, so he became a laughing stock in people's mouths. Even the saints joked about him with this matter. Although he was good at pretending to be stupid, he always had a thorn in his heart."
"Lord, Li Xiang is pretending."
Yuan Zai said directly, and his words made An Lushan stunned, "You said Li Xiang was pretending?"
"Lord, Li Xiangruo really can't take matters. With the saint's cold-hearted nature, how could he always keep Li Xiang?"
Yuan Zai has no respect for the saints today. In his opinion, if it weren't for the saint's stupidity and favor Chen Guang's little face, how could he have fallen to this point? I think that in order to get close to Wang Yunxiu, he was so humble and beat or scolded for three years. In the end, he didn't even touch a finger, but the slut took the initiative to throw himself into his arms.
"You mean the saint deliberately left Li Xiang."
"Lord, the saint is old and no longer as wise and powerful as he used to be. He kept Li Xiang to check and balance with Yang Guozhong."
"Now that Li Xiang shows weakness, that's intentional. The lord should take the initiative to pay homage to Li Xiang and rebuild the old. We can't be without anyone in the court."
When An Lushan heard this, his expression became complicated. He offended Li Linfu to death last year. Unexpectedly, this old thief pretended to be so old. For a moment, An Lushan only felt that people's hearts were sinister. It would be better if Chang'an City was not waiting, but he immediately threw away the sudden thoughts.
"I was quite disrespectful to Li Xiang last year, and I didn't know that Li Xiang..."
"Lord, as the saying goes, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. With Li Xiang's abilities, how can he care about such trivial matters with his lord?"
Seeing Yuan Zai Xiang's advice, An Lushan didn't say anything. Li Xiang's abilities were a joke, but now Gao Lishi politely refused him. The saint and imperial concubine no longer favored him. Only Li Linfu could speak for him in the court.
"I'll listen to you. Let's go to Li's mansion. You need to do something about King Yong. You must not let the surname Shen find me. This is a madman."
An Lushan made a decision, but he was still very afraid of Chen Guang. This guy was just a little honorary official back then, so he dared to whip him in public. Now that he has made the contribution to destroying the country, he still doesn't know what he dares to do!
Gao Xianzhi was also shameless. Although he was the main general, he gave all his credit to this child. If the court had not been unwilling to see this child, he would have colluded with Yang Guozhong, the mad dog, so he was afraid that the saint would have given him a title long ago.
Thinking that Chen Guang was far away from Chang'an in recent years, he was still very honored and favored by the saints and concubines. During the banquet, the saint sighed several times that Chen Lang was not here and there was no interest in drinking. An Lushan felt so jealous that husband Meng Lingcha was crazy. What was the Qiang species? Yang Guozhong's mad dog dared to ask him for "Pingzhang for the Secretariat of the Secretariat" for him, which was not entirely because of the child.
If that child doesn't die, I will have no chance to make a comeback!
Thinking of the darkness of Chang'an City, An Lushan turned over and caught up with Li Linfu's convoy.
Hearing the rushing sound of horse hooves behind him, Li Linfu, who was sitting in the carriage, was not as old as before the saint. He lifted the curtain and said to the knight outside, "But that guy An Lushan is here."
"Master, it's true that An Jiedu is here."
"This stupid worm is still so frivolous in his work. I will tell him that I am tired and want to go back home to rest. If there is anything to let him come back another day."
After saying that, Li Linfu put down the curtain of the car and continued to close his eyes to rest. At the moment, Yang Guozhong was just a lonely man. He worked so hard to ask Meng Lingcha to add "Pingzhangshi for the Secretariat of the Secretariat" to his husband Meng Lingcha, just to add a few more prime ministers in front of the saints. This method is not bad.
Thinking that he had acted too ruthlessly in the past and drove all his political enemies out of his power, Li Linfu couldn't help but sigh. At that time, he only wanted to be the only prime minister, take charge of the country and control his politics, and achieve his ambitions, but forgot that his actions actually violated the taboo of the saints.
An Lushan's miscellaneous Hu was not a good chess piece to deal with Yang Guozhong, but he still had to beat him hard to let him understand his weight.
Thinking of this, Li Linfu laughed. The court struggles, but it has never been a matter of a day. Yang Guozhong's approach will sooner or later cause resentment from heaven and earth. He just needs to wait quietly for the opportunity.
At this time, behind the convoy, An Lushan looked at the knights in the prime minister's mansion. After hearing the message, he smiled and said, "I am not thinking well. Please reply to Li Xiang and say that I will visit you another day."
When the knight of the Prime Minister left, An Lushan looked at Yuan Zai beside him with a gloomy expression, "What does this old thief mean?"
"Lord, there are so many people at the moment. If you go to Li Xiang's mansion now, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that you have reconciled with Li Xiang. Li Xiang is avoiding suspicion!"
Of course, Yuan Zai guessed Li Linfu's intention to beat him, but he didn't dare to say this in front of An Lushan, who was on the verge of furiousness.
"You have some truth to it, so I will go to the prime minister's mansion another day."
