A Genius Remembers Love in One Second? We provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Linfu naturally supported Yu Chengjie's ascension to the throne, whether from his personal point of view or from the point of view of the Tang Empire, or even from the point of view of the Royal Family of the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire was a country of etiquette and had thousands of years of excellent cultural traditions. In the process, it had formed a set of etiquette system that could not be violated.
Since ancient times, in the land of the Tang Empire, the most important thing for the succession of the throne was bloodline. The relationship of the bloodline directly determined the stability of the legal status of the heir. This was also the foundation of the Tang Empire and the most basic law that could not be changed at will.
As a vassal of the Tang Empire, Nanzhao naturally had to take care of the customs and traditions of the Tang Empire. Otherwise, once Nanzhao took the lead, the rest of the world would follow. Then, where would the majesty of the Royal Family of the Tang Empire be? How could the nobility of the bloodline be reflected?
Li Linfu picked up a gift and casually weighed it in his hand. He smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I have to do things for you. However, even if the Second Prince didn't give me a gift, I would still support him. How can a person without royal blood inherit the title? Isn't this against the rules?"
"Alang is right."
Li Zhonglin hurriedly agreed.
Li Linfu gently put down the gift in his hand and looked at Li Zhonglin. "Zhonglin, go now and tell the Second Prince of Nanzhao that I fully support him. Tell him not to worry."
"Yes, Alang. Zhonglin understands?"
Li Zhonglin loudly accepted the order and turned to leave.
Li Linfu gently sat down and rubbed his chin, thinking about the content of the memorial he had read in the Zichen Palace and made various assumptions.
"Zhangchou Jianqiong suspects that Piluo Pavilion is related to the rebellion in Cuandi. If I secretly tell Piluo Pavilion the content of the memorial, Piluo Pavilion will hate Zhangchou Jianqiong to the core and even cause more trouble. In this way, Zhangchou Jianqiong will be in deep trouble and become the target of public criticism."
Li Linfu made many guesses in his mind to frame Zhangchou Jianqiong and attack his old rival.
While Li Linfu was thinking hard about how to frame Ang Lee, several of his confidants had already written memorials to Li Longji about how Ang Lee had secretly released the remaining members of the Five Zhao.
Because Li Longji was old, his energy was not as good as before. Almost all of the memorials had to be reviewed by the Gao Lishi first. The small ones were directly approved, and the important ones were sent to Li Longji. For this reason, the memorials written by these ministers were sent to the Gao Lishi as soon as possible.
The Gao Lishi had always been very diligent in serving Li Longji. He was always the first to review the memorials that were sent to him so that he could inform Li Longji more promptly when something important happened. This way, he would not waste too much time and cause too much damage to the Tang Empire.
That evening, the Gao Lishi saw several memorials impeaching Ang Lee. All of them pointed out that Ang Lee had released many captured assassins on the way to Beijing, and that these assassins were most likely the remaining members of the Five Zhao.
"What is Ang Lee doing? Why did he release the remaining members of the Five Zhao?"
The Gao Lishi was very surprised. These ministers were all Li Linfu's confidants. In other words, these ministers had been hinted by Li Linfu to impeach Ang Lee. This also meant that Li Linfu had planted spies in the Dragon Martial Army and learned that Ang Lee had released the assassins.
From Gao Lishi's point of view, it wasn't strange for Li Linfu to have spies in the Dragon Martial Army, and it wasn't strange for them to watch Li An's every move. However, he couldn't understand why Li An would purposely let the assassin go. After all, this kind of behavior was too abnormal, and it wasn't something that ordinary people could understand.
"You stay here and guard. Don't let anyone in. You are not allowed to read these memorials."
The Gao Lishi looked at a young eunuch beside him and said sternly.
"Yes," the young eunuch nodded.
The Gao Lishi put away the memorials. He got up and walked out. He wanted to go out of the palace and personally ask Ang Lee what was going on.
###
In Yan Zhenqing's residence, Ang Lee told Yan Zhenqing everything that he had discussed with the Crown Prince. After all, Ang Lee trusted Yan Zhenqing. There was no need to hide these things from him.
"Wu Yang, do you know why the Crown Prince rewarded you with a jade ring?"
"I don't know?"
Yan Zhenqing's expression was worried. He paused for a moment before he said: "That's because the Crown Prince is in a difficult situation. He doesn't have a lot of gold and silver. He can only reward you with his personal belongings. However, the Crown Prince rarely rewards others. This is enough to show that the Crown Prince values you very much."
Ang Lee nodded gently. This was not a lie. After all, he was so outstanding. As long as a person was outstanding enough, they would always be appreciated by others. In this world, who wouldn't appreciate him after seeing his abilities?
"I'm very happy that the Crown Prince values me."
Ang Lee replied humbly.
Yan Zhenqing hesitated for a moment before he said: "Wu Yang, do you know how difficult the Crown Prince's situation is right now?"
"I don't know. Please tell me, Uncle."
In fact, Ang Lee knew a little about the Crown Prince's situation. The history books of later generations were not for nothing. However, he couldn't show that he knew too much in front of Yan Zhenqing. It was better to keep a low profile.
"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the country, but he has been living in the side courtyard of the palace for so many years. Since ancient times, such a thing has never happened. Do you know what this means?"
Ang Lee still shook his head.
Yan Zhenqing looked worried. "This means that His Majesty is extremely worried about the Crown Prince. His Majesty is guarding against the Crown Prince everywhere. As long as the Crown Prince is careless, he may be deposed. A few years ago, His Majesty deposed the former Crown Prince, which caused turmoil in the imperial court. If the current Crown Prince repeats the same mistake, it will inevitably cause further turmoil."
"Uncle, what can we do for the Crown Prince?"
Ang Lee asked softly.
"We don't need to do anything now. Wu Yang, what you need to do is to make more contributions to the imperial court of the Tang dynasty and make fewer mistakes. In this way, your status and official position will keep rising. Only in this way can you be qualified and capable of working for the Crown Prince. Do you understand?"
Yan Zhenqing warned him seriously.
"Yes, Uncle."
Only then did Ang Lee understand that the reason why Yan Zhenqing said so much was to teach him not to make low-level mistakes again. For example, during the day, Ang Lee suddenly left without saying goodbye and secretly went to meet Yan Ruyu in private. This was a serious mistake. Although it would not lead to too serious consequences, it would leave a bad impression on the Emperor and the ministers, and it would also have a great impact on his future.
Yan Zhenqing hoped that Ang Lee could grow up as soon as possible so that the Crown Prince would have a more reliable backer, which would be beneficial to the stability of the Tang dynasty.
"Alang, the butler of Gao Weng's Mansion is here. He wants to see Commandant Li."
Ang Lee and Yan Zhenqing looked at each other. "Uncle, I'll go out and have a look."
Yan Zhenqing nodded and walked out with Ang Lee.
The butler of Gao Lishi's Mansion, Gao Fu, was standing outside the door. When he saw Ang Lee come out, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Commandant Li, the Great General invites you to his mansion."
Although Ang Lee's current official position was not enough for Gao Fu to be so respectful, Gao Fu was a shrewd person. He clearly understood Ang Lee's abilities and achievements. He was also very optimistic about Ang Lee's future. Therefore, his attitude was naturally respectful.
Ang Lee had never liked to be arrogant, so he naturally would not be arrogant. He said politely, "Uncle Gao is here. Does the Great General want me to go over now?"
"That's right. The Great General said that there is an urgent matter and wants Commandant Li to go over immediately."
Ang Lee turned around and looked at Yan Zhenqing. Yan Zhenqing nodded and looked at the servants. "Quickly lead Commandant Li's horse."
Ang Lee did not delay and immediately urged his horse to rush to Gao Lishi's Mansion.
"Commandant Li, the Great General is in the main hall. Please come in."
Gao Fu's attitude was still warm. As Ang Lee's pace was faster, he could only trot in front to lead the way.
"I am the Right Dragon Martial Army's Commandant Ang Lee. Greetings to the Great General."
Ang Lee walked into the main hall and bowed respectfully to Gao Lishi.
"Commandant Li, there's no need to be so courteous. Please take a seat!"
Gao Lishi's attitude was calm. He glanced at Ang Lee and let Ang Lee take a seat.
Ang Lee did not stand on ceremony. He sat down gently and asked, "I wonder what important matter the Great General has asked me to come over so late at night?"
Gao Lishi smiled gently: "Commandant Li also knows that I have an important matter to discuss with you so late at night. Then Commandant Li should still remember what you have done along the way!"
Ang Lee was slightly stunned. He had done too many things along the way. This was not something that could be clearly explained in a few words. Moreover, the journey that Gao Lishi was talking about, was it to escort Guichang Wang back to Dongnu Province or to escort Yu Chengjie to the Capital?
"Great General, I have experienced too many things along the way. I have encountered assassins no less than a hundred times. Fortunately, every time I was scared but not in danger."
Ang Lee replied casually.
Gao Lishi nodded and said softly: "It's good that Commandant Li can remember. I just want to ask, how many assassins did Commandant Li catch along the way? How were they dealt with? "
When Ang Lee heard this, he immediately understood what Gao Lishi was talking about. How many assassins were caught along the way and how were they dealt with? Wasn't this talking about the matter of him letting the Five Zhao Remnants go? Did Gao Lishi know about this matter?
"Great General, you are talking about the assassins who tried to assassinate Nanzhao's Second Prince! I did catch a few alive, but I let them all go. "
Ang Lee did not dare to hide anything and said sincerely.
Gao Lishi smiled and nodded: "Commandant Li remembers clearly and is very frank. However, these assassins who tried to assassinate Nanzhao's Second Prince were most likely the Five Zhao Remnants. Why did Commandant Li let them all go?"
Ang Lee knew that Gao Lishi was a smart person. A casual lie would never be able to fool the Gao Lishi. Moreover, it would leave a very bad impression on the Gao Lishi.
"To tell you the truth, the few assassins who were caught alive were indeed the Five Zhao Remnants. However, I felt that their loyalty was commendable, so I let them go in a moment of soft-heartedness."
Gao Lishi heard this and sighed: "Commandant Li is really benevolent. However, this is a woman's benevolence and will bring trouble to yourself."
"Great General, the ones that I let go were all insignificant people. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Ang Lee said nervously. He originally thought that he was secretive enough. He did not expect that even Gao Lishi knew about it. Then, did anyone else know?
Gao Lishi shook his head again and again: "Commandant Li may not know, but the fact that you let the Five Zhao Remnants go has been known by many people. Many ministers have already reported to His Majesty to expose this matter. The memorial is with us and will be presented to His Majesty tomorrow morning."
Ang Lee was shocked when he heard this. In his opinion, this was just a small matter. Moreover, it was done secretly. How could it be spread? Could it be that there was a spy among his life and death brothers, or did they accidentally leak it? Even so, the ministers should not have reacted so quickly. This was clearly deliberately targeting him!
"Must the Great General give the memorial to His Majesty?"
Ang Lee asked while knowing the answer. Since Gao Lishi said that he would give it to Li Longji, it was naturally impossible to hide it.
"This matter is neither big nor small. If it is not reported, it will be a crime of deceiving the Emperor. I told Commandant Li this in advance so that Commandant Li can be prepared in advance. Otherwise, when His Majesty asks, you won't know how to answer."
Gao Lishi's tone was quite sincere.
The reason why he wanted to go out of the palace in person was to find out if the matter was true and if Ang Lee really did such a thing. The second reason was because Ang Lee had saved his family. He could not forget this favor. He personally came out to remind Ang Lee so that he could be prepared in advance. This was equivalent to returning Ang Lee's favor. The third reason was because he was more optimistic about Ang Lee. If he invested in his feelings now, it would definitely be beneficial in the future.
"Then in the Great General's opinion, how should I answer His Majesty?"
Ang Lee asked Gao Lishi for advice.
"I will only tell Commandant Li that His Majesty is the smartest person in the world."
Gao Lishi did not answer directly.
Ang Lee respectfully said, "Thank you for your reminder, Great General. I know what to do."
"Well, Commandant Li is a smart person. I don't need to elaborate. However, in the future, you must not do such a thing again. Even if the remnants of the Five Zhao are worthy of respect, they are, after all, the assassins who assassinated the Second Prince of Nanzhao. To be soft on them is to be disloyal to the Tang dynasty."
Gao Lishi sternly warned.
"Great General, you are right. I understand."
Later, Gao Lishi asked Ang Lee what important things had happened along the way. Ang Lee did not hide anything and truthfully told him many important things that had happened along the way. Of course, some things that should be concealed, Ang Lee also concealed a little bit.
Because Gao Lishi was in a hurry to return to the Imperial Palace, the conversation between the two only lasted for more than half an hour.
After Ang Lee left, Gao Lishi looked at Ang Lee's back and said to himself, "Just because he admires the loyalty of the remnants of the Five Zhao, he let these assassins go. Is this really Ang Lee's true intention? Or does he have another purpose? "
"Who is hiding behind? Come out."
"Father, it's your daughter."
Gao Lishi gently turned his head and saw his adopted daughter coming in from behind the screen. He sighed slightly and said, "Yue 'er, are you in love with Commandant Li?"
"Father, I …"
Gao Yue showed a shy look.
