Yang Shenjin half-closed his eyes and stood outside the gate of Xingqing Palace, waiting for the news from inside. The three brothers of his family are all well-dressed. Standing there, they look like jade trees facing the wind, with the air of a minister. However, when he saw someone behind him, he frowned and said angrily: "King, you are not working in your office at this time, so what are you doing here?" The person who arrived in front of Xingqing Palace at this time was He is the king who holds many positions at the same time as Yushi Zhongcheng. In terms of official positions, although the king is subordinate to Yang Shenjin, he is also a minister of the court. It is extremely disrespectful to call him by his name. But the relationship between Yang Shenjin and Wang is unusual. The two families are relatives. Yang Shenjin and Wang's father are cousins, so Wang is his cousin. Although it was Li Linfu who promoted the king to the Yushitai, Yang Shenjin, who was the Yushi Zhongcheng at the time, also played a role in it. Later, Wang was also promoted to the Yushi Zhongcheng, which was equivalent to Yang Shenjin's official position. However, Yang Shenjin relied on his elders and He was kind to the king and was quite rude to him, calling him by his first name. Hearing Yang Shenjin call him this way, the king's expression did not change. He just smiled and said: "The minister is not working in the government office." "I'm rude, he is the son of a cheap servant." Yang Shenjin was working as the prime minister at this time. Chunqiu Dameng was very dissatisfied with Wang's disrespect for calling him uncle, and immediately reprimanded him. Wang's expression suddenly froze, but after he glanced at Yang Shenjin, he did not respond. Yang Shenjin has always been like this to Wang, perhaps because he is too familiar with him, and there is no respect at all. Although Wang's father was Yang Shenjin's cousin, his mother was just a servant girl of humble origin, and Yang Shenjin often insulted the king for this. Seeing the king looking at him, Yang Shenjin was a little irritable. He was waiting for the emperor to receive him in front of Xingqing Palace. It would be a pity if the emperor wanted to see the king first and let him lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So he reprimanded: " What are you doing in front of me if your servant has given birth to a son?" The veins on the side of Wang's forehead were twitching, but Yang Shen was so powerful that he could only swallow his anger and retreat. The king walked forward, and a little eunuch appeared in front of Yang Shenjin: "Shilang Yang, the saint has summoned you to the palace to meet me." Yang Shenjin straightened his clothes and especially rubbed his face, making himself look very handsome. spirit, and then enter with confidence. Li Longji pays great attention to appearance when selecting ministers. If his appearance is not outstanding, his promotion and transfer will be much slower, and he may not even be qualified to be a core senior official at all. When Yang Shenjin walked, he deliberately took long steps, making his whole body appear to be agile. After a while, he arrived in front of Li Longji. After he finished his salute, he heard Li Longji ask: "Why do you want to see me?" Li Longji seemed a little unhappy, but Yang Shenjin didn't take it seriously. He immediately made an excuse to dial northwest. Regarding the delivery of food and wages, I asked Li Longji for instructions. Li Longji listened halfway and became impatient. He waved his hand and said: "You can report this to Prime Minister Li. After defeating Xiao Bolu, I will report the results" Yang Shen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty. I just came from Mr. Li's house. Mr. Li seems to be feeling unwell and unable to deal with the matter. The salary of the sergeants at the front is very important. If it is not resolved quickly, trouble may occur, so I have to disturb your majesty. Please forgive me." " Are you feeling unwell?" When Li Longji heard what Yang Shenjin said, he couldn't help but look serious: "Why are you feeling so unwell? Why can't you even do your official duties?" "I heard that Mr. Li suddenly fell into coma for several hours today. , when I went to visit, although Xianggong Li had regained consciousness, he could not recognize who I was. He mistook me for Yang Zhao and entrusted me with his son-in-law. I thought that the saint knew about this Could it be that Li Xianggong's family was busy. Did you make a mistake and forget to report it to the saint? " Yang Shen carefully laid a trap for Li Linfu. Sure enough, when Li Longji heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "I'm afraid he didn't make a mistake while busy General Gao, what are you doing? "I went to the Li Mansion to see what was going on." "If Li Linfu's family deliberately concealed Li Linfu Ru's illness, the nature would be serious. If Li Linfu instructed his family to deliberately conceal it, the nature would be even more serious. The prime minister is the most important weapon of the country, and only the emperor has the right to use it. To give and receive privately, the national law cannot tolerate it. Gao Lishi hesitated a little, glanced at Yang Shenjin, and found that Yang Shenjin was full of confidence. In his heart, he believed 70% of Li Linfu's theory of illness, but out of his usual caution, he still said: "Why do you want to go?" "It just so happens that Ye Chang donated a batch of cotton produced in Liaodong as a tribute. If you want anything, just give half of it to Li Linfu," Li Longji said. At this time, the price of cotton cloth was more expensive than silk. Although it was not as high as in previous years when it was called white folded cloth, ordinary silk cloth was still not as good as cotton cloth. Hearing Li Longji's instructions, Gao Lishi knew what he was doing and bowed before leaving. He was well versed in the Xingqing Palace. It didn't take long for him to prepare cotton cloth, and then rushed to Li Linfu's Mansion. When they arrived at Li Linfu's house, it was already afternoon. Gao Lishi asked people to come forward and call the door. After a while, the door of Li Linfu's house opened wide, and Li Linfu's son Li Xiu came out to welcome him. "How come General Gao is free today?" Li Xiu looked tired, as if he had just encountered something very tiring. "SaintAsk me to give cotton cloth to Prime Minister Li Where is Prime Minister Li now? "Gao Lishi asked. "Ah, it's a bit unlucky for General Gao to come" Li Xiu looked a little strange. Gao Lishi smiled on his face, laughed, but secretly murmured in his heart. It seems that Li Linfu is really I'm sick. "Please take me to see Mr. Li. "Gao Lishi said. "This father is a little inconvenient now. He is not in the house. "Li Xiu looked a little embarrassed. "Oh, where is that? When the emperor gives a reward, it should be received in person, so as not to be disrespectful and cause the wrath of the saint, which is not beautiful. When I go to see my husband, I will first issue the sage¡¯s decree. " "General Gao's words make sense In that case, General Gao, please change your clothes and come with me. " "Changing clothes? Gao Lishi said puzzledly: "Why change clothes?" " "This is more convenient. " Then someone offered clothes, but they were just ordinary clothes, not the eunuch clothes that Gao Lishi often wore. Gao Lishi put them on hastily outside, still wondering what Li Xiu meant by convenience. After he changed his clothes, Li Xiu led Gao Lishi eastward and directly entered the gate of Dongshi. Gao Lishi said in surprise: "This my husband is really not at home? " "It is true that he is not at home. Does General Gao know about Guan Yunchang of Dongshi? " "Guan Yunchang of Dongshi I've heard of it, what's the matter? " The so-called Dongshi Guan Yunchang is a football team in Dongshi. Since Ye Chang created the football match in the first year of Tianbao, although Chang'an's football market has not developed much, there have been many more teams. In the beginning, the teams were often Named after the city, like Xishi Football Club, Qinglongfang Football Club or Jing'anfang Football Club, but later there were several teams in the same city, and if they wanted to distinguish them, they had to be named again. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became so popular that a football club in the West City rushed to take over the Zhao Zilong Football Club in the West City. The East City was not convinced, so they established a Dongshi Guanyun Football Club. Then the two sides started to debate whether Zhao Yun was better or Guan Yu was better. Finally, last year, someone suggested that the two sides should use a football match to determine who is stronger. This idea was very good, so the two football clubs held a "Three Kingdoms No. 1" competition on March 13 last year. Dongshi Guanyunchang Football Club won. Zhao Zilong was not convinced and agreed to play again next year, and the agreed time was today. "You mean Li Xianggong is watching the game?" "Gao Lishi was shocked. "This is exactly My father didn't want to be known, so he came incognito. That's why he invited General Gao to do so incognito. " Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him. He was only accompanied by two young eunuchs, who also changed their clothes, plus Li Xiu who was wearing ordinary clothes. Such a group was quite different from the ordinary people on the street. There is no difference between the common people. This experience makes Gao Lishi a little novel, but his attention is mainly focused on what Li Xiu just said: Li Linfu is watching the football game. He has never heard that Li Linfu is interested in football matches. If what Li Xiu said is true, Li Linfu should be fine, and he has no hidden diseases such as stroke. In the past few years, dozens of elderly people have suffered strokes or strokes due to excessive tension while watching football games. I died of heartache. The East City has been undergoing renovation since the year before last. Like the West City, the original layout of cross streets and lanes remains unchanged, and the roads remain spacious, but there is more greening, and the hardening of the road surface has been basically completed. The northeast corner is the stadium. Because it is across the street from Xingqing Palace, sometimes Li Longji will take Yang Yuhui to wait on the Qinzheng Affairs Building to look here and watch the excitement of ordinary people being brought here. I saw a sea of ??people in the stands made of cement steps. It is said that more than 10,000 people gathered here to watch the game. There were more than 200 soldiers and officers around, patrolling back and forth in batches, while hawkers with various stalls were everywhere. Stop selling. At about the critical moment, the roar of the spectators was as loud as the sea waves. "My father is herebut there are many people here, and we can't find anyone for a while." "Li Xiu led Gao Lishi up the steps of the stands and said this into Gao Lishi's ear. Gao Lishi turned his eyes and saw the crowd of people crowded together and shouting wildly, and his heart moved slightly. If Li Linfu was interested at home, When he didn't see him, he asked Li Xiu to suggest that he was among the people watching the game Thinking of this, Gao Lishi sneered in his heart. It is indeed not easy to find Li Linfu among tens of thousands of people, but hey, he doesn't need to look here. "Since Mr. Li is watching the game, we are not here to disturb him and the people." "Gao Lishi smiled and said: "Just go to your house and wait. According to Ye Shi's rules, a game can only last half an hour at most. Including intermission, it will not exceed an hour. Now the game is almost over. Bar? " Li Xiu laughed along with him: "There is still a small half. " "In this way, we can also watch the game here, and then go to your house after the game."Passed by Li Xianggong. " Gao Lishi is a wallflower. He doesn't want to choose sides between Li Linfu and Yang Shenjin. Since Li Longji's order is for him to come and see Li Linfu, even if he spends more time and makes more preparations for Li Linfu, he won't be able to do anything. To see Li Linfu, at first he just wanted to watch the game here and let the Li family prepare, but as he looked at it, he had a different feeling. It was almost unprecedented for everyone to watch a football match together. Therefore, he felt a little happy after watching the half-time game. If it were not for business, he would be even happier. After the match, Li Xiu did not delay. He arrived at the south gate of the stadium and stopped. Gao Lishi said in surprise: "Why can't you stop? " "If my father comes out, he must go out from here. He just needs to wait here - here, General Gao, please look, my father is over there." Gao Lishi was surprised, could it be that Li Linfu is really watching the game here? He followed As Li Xiu expected, he saw Li Yu and Li Mao, one on the left and one on the right, supporting Li Linfu and walking out of the crowd. They were all dressed in ordinary people's clothes. Perhaps they were too excited just now. Li Linfu was a little tired and there was sweat on his forehead, but he was in good spirits. When Gao Lishi saw him, he also saw that Gao Lishi was very self-aware of himself. As a eunuch, even if he was named a general by Li Longji. , is just a servant of the royal family. The prime minister is not the same. He is the emperor's guest and manages the affairs of the world. Therefore, as long as the emperor Li Longji does not show dissatisfaction with the prime minister, he must remain respectful to the prime minister. For a prime minister like Li Linfu, the two had cooperated a lot before, and had also fought a lot openly and secretly. Therefore, Gao Lishi held his hands in front of him. Li Linfu pushed away the support of his two sons, stood on his own, and saluted Gao Lishi. The second son supported him again and walked slowly over. When he got in front of Gao Lishi, Li Linfu smiled and said: "I never thought I would meet Mr. Gao here. Does Gao Gong also love football?" " "so far so good. Hearing Li Linfu's breathlessness, Gao Lishi looked at him again. "Oh, my energy is a little low now. After being squeezed in the crowd for a while, I ended up like this." "Li Linfu laughed: "In my early years, I was also an athlete who could ride horses and play ball." Thinking of how many people were crowded together just now, no matter how strong Li Linfu is, it is impossible for him to not sweat under such circumstances, Gao Lishi felt in his heart Most of the doubts were gone. "This is not the place to talk. I am here to find Mr. Li. I would like to ask Mr. Li to go back to his house." "Gao Lishi said, "Li Linfu nodded, and with the help of his two sons, he got on the shoulder cart on the side of the court. Gao Lishi could only follow behind, but fortunately it was not far from Li's house, and he returned to Li Linfu's house not long after. Hearing Gao Lishi's intention to come, Li Linfu bowed down to thank him, and the second son brought him up again. Gao Lishi was really puzzled, and the doubts that had just disappeared arose again. He thought about it for a while and said: "Today in the palace. , some people say that Mr. Li is feeling unwell. I think that although Mr. Li is not as good as before, he is still in good health I don¡¯t know who made this rumor.¡± His words were just a test, but Li Linfu over there smiled: ¡°It¡¯s true this morning. I was worried about some family matters and felt a little unwell, so I went to watch a game to relax The saint has given me such a generous gift, so I must go to the palace to express my gratitude. Can General Gao go with me? "
