Li Linfu felt that this could not continue. He helped Emperor Xuanzong deal with the mountain of government affairs every day and was suspicious of Emperor Xuanzong. Emperor Xuanzong always considered letting Yang Guozhong, a villain, take over him.

Between him, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had to have a choice, either choose him, Li Linfu or the villain Yang Guozhong.

Li Linfu began to think about his strategy.

The old fox is the old fox. Soon Li Linfu came up with a wonderful plan, which had an excuse that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guozhong could not refuse. He wanted to write to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to transfer Yang Guozhong to Jiannan Road and stay away from the core of Chang'an City.

Jiannan Jiedushi Xian Yu Zhongtong once helped Yang Guozhong when Yang Guozhong was still in a downturn. The two had a deep personal relationship. Xianyu Zhongtong was elected by Yang Guozhong to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The Jiannan Jiedushi was mainly to prevent the Nanzhao Kingdom. Originally, the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao were at peace, but unfortunately, Xian Yu Zhongtong was narrow-minded and impatient. After he became the Jiannan Jiedushi, he soon had a quarrel with Nanzhao. Since then, Nanzhao has often harassed the southwestern border of the Tang Dynasty, and Xian Yu Zhongtong has been tired of dealing with it.

Two months ago, Xian Yu Zhongtong wrote to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, saying that he had limited abilities and was not suitable to continue to serve as the governor of Jiannan. He wanted to ask Yang Guozhong to also be the governor of Jiannan.

At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not refuse and asked Yang Guozhong for his opinion.

Yang Guozhong was of course happy. The Jiannan Jiedushi commanded the entire Jiannan Road military and was a military official. Yang Guozhong wanted to replace Li Linfu as prime minister, but his efforts in the court were still a little short of his efforts.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has attached great importance to military merits. Everyone who is the prime minister has more or less military merits. Yang Guozhong also wants to get more military bargaining chips for himself, so he is naturally willing to serve as the governor of Jiannan. Anyway, Nanzhao is just a small country on the border, so he often makes small fuss. No major happens. Instead, after he frees up his hands and feet, he commands the army of Jiannan Road to teach Nanzhao a lesson. Wouldn't it be that military merits?

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not refuse, and Yang Guozhong was happy, so he also took over the Jiannan Jiedushi. He only took over the leadership. After all, Yang Guozhong was still the Minister of Revenue, so his focus was naturally in Chang'an City, so he didn't have to go to Jiannan.

However, the Nanzhao Kingdom has suddenly become more and more troubled recently, and the situation in Jiannan is very unstable. In addition, Li Linfu wants to dig a hole for Yang Guozhong and test Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, this is Li Linfu's opportunity.

"Yang Guozhong, I still don't believe it. You can make a fuss!"

With a plan, Li Linfu immediately went to the palace to meet Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"Your Majesty, the Nanzhao Kingdom is in chaos, and there is a momentum of sending troops to attack Jiannan. The situation in Jiannan is extremely unstable. A large number of Jiannan generals wrote memorials and strongly asked the governor Yang Guozhong to go to preside over the meeting, begging Your Majesty to temporarily send Yang Guozhong to Jiannan Road to deal with the affairs with Nanzhao Kingdom." Li Linfu showed some eagerness, as if the situation in Jiannan Road had really deteriorated to a very serious level.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stunned for a moment. He didn't think that Li Linfu would lie to him. Besides, he had heard of the rebellion of Nanzhao Kingdom. Yang Guozhong was also the governor of Jiannan, which was the current governor of Jiannan. It was reasonable for Li Linfu to ask him to go to Jiannan to deal with matters with Nanzhao Kingdom, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not easy to refuse.

However, Yang Guozhong had just collected hundreds of warehouses for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang valued Yang Guozhong and was reluctant to let Yang Guozhong go to such a remote place as Jiannan. If he went there, who would know when he would come back? During this period, who would increase the income of the Ministry of Revenue?

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not willing to refuse, and did not agree on the spot. He said that he would ask Yang Guozhong’s opinion first and ask Li Linfu to go back first.

Li Linfu's face twitched for a moment, and he felt a little disappointed. His Majesty really valued Yang Guozhong too much, but fortunately, his Majesty did not refuse, and it depends on how his Majesty chooses.

When Li Linfu went back, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang called Yang Guozhong.

When he first entered the palace, Yang Guozhong didn't know what had happened, but he got the news that Li Linfu also entered the palace before him, probably because it was related to Li Linfu. Facing this old fox, Yang Guozhong was worried that he would be plotted against.

When Yang Guozhong heard Emperor Xuanzong tell the whole story, he was shocked.

Damn, let him leave Chang'an City and go to Jiannan Road to deal with his relationship with Nanzhao Kingdom. This, this---

Of course, Yang Guozhong was not stupid. Li Linfu was framed by him. After leaving Chang'an City, the power he had worked hard to develop during this period would not be uprooted by Li Linfu. Li Linfu would dig a big hole for him. If he could not effectively deal with the matter with Nanzhao, Li Linfu, as the prime minister, had the right to punish him for his dereliction of duty. Now is the critical period for him to fight with Li Linfu. If he lost one move, he would lose one move. Leaving Chang'an City to Jiannan Road would be like a dead end.

It's too dangerous, you must not go there, at least you cannot go there at this time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Li Linfu was jealous of Your Majesty's importance to his ministers, for fear that he would replace him as prime minister and would squeeze him out of Chang'an City. I will definitely not be able to come back when I go there. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. I will definitely live up to your majesty. Your Majesty---" Yang Guozhong didn't think about it, and he knelt down on the ground, howling and cried. He wanted nothing and cried to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Seeing Yang Guozhong crying so miserably, it was a 40-year-old man. Is it difficult to see that he was a minister he valued, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt a little reluctant.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt very embarrassed. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Yang Guozhong to go to Jiannan Road.

However, Li Linfu's request is well-founded and difficult to refuse. After all, Li Linfu has worked for himself for more than ten years, and he has piled up mountains of government affairs every day, and there are a lot of big and small things. If it weren't for Li Linfu, he would not have enjoyed such a good life. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang still said that he did not want Li Linfu to be too shameless.

After all, Yang Guozhong has great talent and he values ​​the ministers he values. Because of him, the Ministry of Revenue and his money was unprecedentedly rich. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also felt that he could not lose his usefulness in Yang Guozhong's heart, which made Yang Guozhong feel that he favored Li Linfu and did not value him.

So what should I do?

After hesitating for a while, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suddenly had an idea and comforted both sides, and could not favor one or the other.

"You are here in Jiannan for the time being to handle military affairs. I will plan your return date every day and let you return as soon as possible. On the day of your return, you should become the prime minister!" The meaning of this sentence by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was to tell Yang Guozhong directly that after he returned to Jiannan, he would appoint him as prime minister.

Another meaning is that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had already planned to let Li Linfu get off the position of prime minister and was not prepared to let Li Linfu continue to let the prime minister.
