Xuanzong's decision made Li Linfu feel cold.
He was both Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu Zuopushe.
As long as he still held either of these two official positions, he would still be the prime minister.
But now he has been relieved of both official positions.
Even though he still had the title of Duke of Jin, he could no longer interfere with political affairs.
Fortunately, Xuanzong did not directly let him return to his hometown for retirement, but only asked him to stay in the capital temporarily to await his orders, which gave him hope of recovery.
In the lobby of Li Mansion, Li Linfu smashed more than a dozen tea cups and sat on a chair angrily.
An official walked in quickly and handed over a list and said: "My lord, I have obtained all the petitions to impeach your lord."
The list of officials, please take a look at it.”
"Humph, I want to see what kind of monsters and snake gods want to make trouble with me."
Li Linfu said, taking the list and looking at it.
After reading half of it, he cursed: "You Wang Zhongsi, Huangfu Weiming, Zhao Ziliang, you guys These three men are making things difficult for me and want to put me to death.
When I return to my post as an official, I will definitely not rest with you."
The official standing nearby asked carefully: "Sir, what should we do now?
I'm afraid the prince's family will attack us next."
Li Linfu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this.
Didn't you see that His Majesty was forced by them?
At this time, Your Majesty is unhappy.
The prince is not that stupid to bother Your Majesty at this time.
Moreover, although I no longer have an official position, return It's the Duke of Jin.
He's still in the capital.
Even if he wants to take action against you, he has to wait until I leave the capital before taking action.
Your Majesty didn't let me go back to my hometown directly.
This shows that there is still room for change.
You go and inform the others tonight.
Come to my house to discuss matters."
The official hesitated and said: "Sir, you no longer have an official position, will those people still be there?"
Although the words are not fully stated, the meaning is very clear.
It is nothing more than that you, Li Linfu, are now without official positions.
Do the officials who used to rely on you still listen to you?
Your big tree will fall soon, and those hozens will fall.
Will they become like birds and beasts?
Li Linfu glanced at him, waved his hand and said: "Huh, I haven't fallen yet.
If they dare not come, I will be considered dead.
They thought that nothing would happen if they didn't come.
Until now, they have been branded with me.
They are born.
The death of my people is my fault, you can go ahead even if you want to be just a wallflower."
"promise" Li Linfu's guess was right.
Xuanzong had no intention of letting him return to his hometown for retirement.
Removing him from his post was just a pretense, to show to the courtiers and local officials.
However, despite this, the affairs of the DPRK were not Can't stop.
A few days later, Xuanzong summoned his close ministers to discuss political affairs in Zichen Hall, but this time only Li Linfu was not present, which made Xuanzong feel a little empty.
Xuanzong looked at a few people and asked, "What do you think about the affairs in Hexi and Xihai?"
Wang Ju saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since your Majesty has ordered Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming to handle it clearly, you should not interfere too much.

General Wang and General Huangfu have been at the border for a long time and are familiar with border affairs.
They should be able to handle them."
The solution is that General Wang Zhongsi transferred his main energy from the north to Hexi in accordance with His Majesty's order.
Then no one can control the Uighur, Basimi and Geluolu tribes in the north.
As time goes by, there will be more troubles. ah" Wang Ju was an old minister, and was a staunch supporter of Xuanzong before he became the prince.
Therefore, Wang Ju held a lot of weight in Xuanzong's heart, and what he said was very influential to Xuanzong.
Xuanzong thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Wang Zhongsi had implemented half of the strategies he had formulated for the tribes on the grasslands in the north.
Now he was suddenly transferred from the north to Hexi and left a big stall but he couldn't ignore it.
What should he do?
Xuanzong thought for a while and asked, "How do the Qing family think it should be dealt with?"
Wang Ju thought about it for a moment, and then said to Xuanzong: "Actually, there is a ready candidate in the north.
Didn't General Zhao Ziliang rush 800 miles to deliver the good news a few days ago?
Now he has led his army to the banks of the Dule River.
Xi The people and the Khitan people are no longer of concern.
The old minister thought that it would be better to let General Zhao take full charge of handling the affairs of the Uighur, Basimi and Geluolu tribes."
Xuanzong was a little worried.
He said: "Although Zhao Ziliang has great military exploits and unparalleled military power and is rarely matched by opponents, I am still worried that he is too young.
After all, the Turks, Uighurs, Basimis and Geluolu tribes are not Xiren."
Khitan people, this Among these large tribes, the Turks, Uighurs and Basimis are the most powerful, each with a population of more than hundreds of thousands.
A large population means there are many people who control the strings and are powerful.
Not only will they not be able to deter them, but they may also be able to control them.
Things are messed up.”
Wang Ju wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought that blindly speaking would be counterproductive, so he might as well retreat in order to advance, so he said: "Your Majesty's concerns are indeed very reasonable.
Now that General Zhao is stationed on the Dule River, since The battle is over, so why not issue an edict to let Zhao Ziliang lead his army to retreat to Hedong.
After all, he has stationed troops.
There is no name or reason outside, and if something really happens to the Turks, Uighurs, Bashmi and Geluolu, whether he sends troops or not, he has no name.
If he doesn't send troops, he may delay the opportunity to fight.
Now in our To the north, only General Zhao has some deterrent effect on the northern tribes."
When I heard that Zhao Ziliang was asked to lead troops back to Hedong, Xuanzong immediately quit.
He was a man who was very happy with his achievements.
In recent years, he was especially concerned about border affairs.
Opening up territories was his favorite.
Only in this way could he feel that his His achievements were not inferior to those of his ancestors.
He immediately shook his head and said: "Then No, we finally reached the Dule River and promoted the power of the Tang Dynasty to foreign lands.
How can we withdraw at the drop of a hat?
Well, what you just said is not unreasonable.
Then pass on my decree and appoint Zhao Ziliang as the Protector of the Shanyu Protectorate. , other duties remain as usual, in charge of the affairs of all ethnic groups in Mobei."
When Wang Ju heard this, he reminded: "Your Majesty, the prince is now also the governor of the Shanyu Governor's Mansion."
Xuanzong was stunned.
He slapped his forehead and actually forgot about this matter.
However, the prince's concurrent appointment as the governor of the Shanyu Protectorate was just a remote appointment and did not actually exercise the rights of the governor.
He asked again: "Then who is in charge of Shanyu now?"
Appointed as Deputy Protector in the Governor's Mansion" Gao Lishi said: "It's Pei Zhou first."
"So it's him."

Xuanzong nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "I think the prince's position as the governor of the Shanyu Protectorate is also a sinecure.
Instead of occupying the position and not doing anything, it is better to give it up.
In this case, get rid of it.
Zhao Ziliang concurrently holds the post of governor of the Protectorate of the Crown Prince Chanyu, and is fully responsible for the affairs of all tribes in Mobei."
Gao Lishi reluctantly agreed: "I will obey the order."
There were six major Protectorate's Palaces in the Tang Dynasty, namely Anxi Protectorate's Palace, Beiting Protectorate's Palace, Anbei Protectorate's Palace, Shanyu Protector's Palace, Andong Protectorate's Palace and Annan Protectorate's Palace.
The Protectorate Palace did not all exist at the same time.
The Shanyu Protectorate Palace was merged into the Anbei Protectorate Palace in the early years of Kaiyuan, and it was not re-established until 720 AD.
In a sense, the responsibilities of the Shanyu Protectorate's Palace overlap with those of the Anbei Protectorate.
However, now the Chanyu Protectorate's Palace is just an empty frame, and even the Anbei Protector's Palace is the same.
There is no dedicated military The Shuofang Army and the Hedong Army were generally responsible for the Tang Dynasty's military deterrence against the nomadic tribes in Mobei.
The duties and functions of the Anbei Protectorate and the Shanyu Protectorate were only to coordinate Mobei.
The relationship between various ministries, the relationship between The Northern Tribes are in charge of the management.
In fact, the power of these two Protectorate is pitifully small.
Because they have no soldiers, these two Protectorates basically have nothing to do to the Mobei tribes.
They can only rely on their mouths to make peace.
But the current Anbei Protector Wang Zhongsi, the governor of Shuofang, also serves as the governor.
His words are true in Mobei, and no one dares not to listen.
Now Wang Zhongsi's main focus is on Hexi to prepare to deal with Tibet, and the matter of Mobei falls to Zhao Ziliang, the newly appointed commander.
Shan Yudu protects the body.
Logically speaking, to be appointed as the governor of the Shanyu Governor's Mansion, one must start from the second rank, and Zhao Ziliang's fourth rank has not been promoted for several years.
However, sometimes it is possible to act urgently, and Xuanzong did not take care of Zhao Ziliang.
If his level is high enough, he will be directly appointed as the Protector of the Shanyu Protectorate.
More than ten days have passed, and the Chinese New Year is about to come.
Xuanzong has been with Yang Yuhuan these days, and he is very happy.
Except for Gao Lishi, there is no one else around him, but he always feels that something is missing.
Carefully After thinking about it, it turned out that he had not seen Li Linfu for many days, and he was quite bored without Li Linfu fawning over him.
He remembered that Li Linfu was still in Chang'an, and immediately ordered Li Linfu to come to the palace to see him.
Li Linfu was overjoyed after receiving the order, knowing that his hard days were coming to an end soon.
On the way to Daming Palace, he thought of various ways to please him.
After coming out of the Daming Palace, Li Linfu was full of joy and felt very proud because he had been restored to his original post.
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, all ministers went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
They all made a summary of the major political events of the year, which was equivalent to the year-end work report of later generations of governments.
The three ministers, six ministries and nine ministers reported to the emperor this year's political achievements and financial results.
Regarding expenditures, various officials read a lot of reports eloquently.
Xuanzong became a little impatient after hearing this.
Before the officials below could finish their report, he waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't listen anymore.
I will present the memorial to those who haven't finished the report.
I will take the time to see what else the ministers have."
If you have nothing to do, just leave the court.
There is no need to come back until the Lantern Festival.
If you have anything else to do, wait until after the Lantern Festival."
Just when Gao Lishi was about to call for his resignation, Gao Hong, a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, but he still raised his hand and said: "It's accurate."
"Your Majesty, Shibao City in Xihai County is a strategic location and cannot be occupied by the Tubo people for a long time.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Otherwise, Hexi and Longyou will always be threatened by them.
I recommend that Huangfu Weiming be ordered to prepare to recapture Shibao City."
Huangfu Weiming fought a battle with the Tubo people two months before the Ming Dynasty.
He led the Longyou Tang Army to Shibao City and immediately launched an attack on the city.
The Tubo soldiers guarding the city took advantage of the danger and sent letters asking for help.
Tubo immediately sent Dalun Mangbuzhi to lead an army to help, and obtained the cooperation of the little king of Tuyuhun, and cooperated with the soldiers guarding the city to attack the Tang army.
Because Huangfu Weiming was eager for quick success, he only focused on attacking the city and neglected to send reinforcements.
As a result, the Tang army suffered heavy losses and his deputy general Chu Xu was killed in the battle, so he had to retreat.
However, although he suffered heavy losses under Shibao City in this battle, he also regained some lost ground and captured many Tubo soldiers.
Two days ago, he had just escorted the captives back to Beijing to present them as prisoners, and was named Honglu Qing by Xuanzong.
At this time, he happened to be in In the court room.
When other courtiers saw Gao Hong standing up, they all knew that old man Li Linfu was preparing to attack Huangfu Weiming.
Among the officials and generals who had impeached him in various places before, Huangfu Weiming had the highest official position, the greatest merit, and the loudest clamor.
Li Linfu attacked him first.
It was also expected.
After listening to Gao Hong's words, Huangfu Weiming immediately stood up and saluted Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, it is not that I am timid or unwilling to share your Majesty's worries.
Now Tubo has deployed a large number of troops in Shibao City and is fully prepared.
Plus Stonecastle City anomaly It is dangerous.
With Tubo on guard, our army can only attack Shibao City by force, and a strong attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties.
Even if the entire Longyou Army is filled in, it may not be possible to capture Shibao City.
Wei Chen It is recommended to wait for the opportunity before taking action”:
